Han Xin didn't force Han Xianyuan to believe his words anymore, just like all the generals of the national army, they would never believe that the cruelty of the little devil had reached that point until the city of Nanjing was not destroyed and the bloody facts happened.

Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why they later swore that they were at peace at that time!

"Brother Han, what you said is really amazing, I can't believe it."

Seeing that Han Xin didn't say anything more, Han Xianyuan added another sentence.

Han Xin nodded, didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Maybe what I said is indeed a little inhuman, so, Brother Xianyuan, how about I make a bet with you?"

Han Xianyuan saw the confidence in Han Xin's eyes, and subconsciously said, "Brother, please speak!" ”

"It's very simple, now I give three speculations, first, the little devils will send planes to bomb the city of Nanjing in the early morning of the 5th, which has been realized.

Second, I speculate that the little devil will drop the letter of surrender on the 9th.

If my second speculation still comes true, it will prove that my third speculation, that the city of Nanjing was destroyed and the people were slaughtered, is also very likely to be true, so I hope that Brother Xianyuan will think more about it at that time. ”

Han Xianyuan was silent, looked at Han Xin with incredible eyes, for a long time, and said with emotion: "Seriously, I hope your speculation is wrong!"

Han Xin looked stunned and nodded approvingly, "If it's possible, I also hope it won't come true!" ”

The two of them were suddenly silent and looked at each other, but the firmness and confidence in Han Xin's eyes still did not decrease by half a point.

Han Xianyuan's heart swayed, he looked at the people of Nanjing who still appeared from time to time in the distance, and occasionally he could find the figure of children.

He clenched his fists and promised, "Brother Han, if your second guess comes true, then I will believe your third guess."

At that time, I will fully support you and convince the residents of Nanjing that the devils will slaughter innocents once they enter the city.

And I personally ...... Unless you die in battle, you will definitely not take half a step back. ”

In Han Xin's slight dazedness, Han Xianyuan strode away without looking back.

……

Time passed, and on December 9, Matsui Ishine threw an ultimatum at the defenders of Nanjing by plane.

The meaning was very clear: the defenders of Nanjing had to surrender before noon on December 10, otherwise the Japanese army would begin to attack Nanjing, and once they entered the city, they would bear the consequences.

This was the morning of December 9, and it was the time when the military and civilians in Nanjing City came out to carry out activities.

Several planes suddenly appeared in the sky over Nanjing, whizzing violently.

"Air raids! Air raid! There are air raids! ”

The soldiers who were the first to find it shouted loudly, while hiding in the building in a hurry, and some people on the road also exploded and fled in all directions, and soon, the streets of Nanjing City were empty, and half a figure could not be seen.

But the shells that everyone expected did not fall.

Suddenly it rained in the sky, and it rained paper, and the paper in the sky danced, fluttered, swayed, and fell to the ground.

Then, the devil plane, which was still whistling in mid-air, made the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing panic, swagger away.

"Not here to bomb us?"

"It doesn't seem to be."

"Hey, come and see, what is this?"

"It's like paper, and there are words on it, or Chinese characters, and I'll read it."

"To the commander of the Nanjing garrison, Tang Shengzhi persuaded him to surrender: The city of Nanjing has been besieged by more than 200,000 Japanese imperial regiments, and the aircraft and artillery are ready to fire.

If our Imperial Japanese Army attacked Nanjing at this moment, Nanjing would inevitably be overturned.

Nanjing is the capital of China, and our Imperial Japanese Army is unwilling to destroy it, and under the chaos of war, the people will inevitably suffer casualties.

Commander Tang is hereby solemnly advised that if we do not lead the masses to surrender before noon on the 10th, we will launch a general attack, and then we will bear the consequences. ”

At different times and in different places, hundreds of people saw the contents of the proclamation and read it aloud.

As a result, people are naturally panicked, and people with all kinds of thoughts begin to appear.

Suddenly, Tang Shengzhi's reply became the focus of attention.

The garrison commander Tang Shengzhi replied quickly, just two hours after the Japanese surrender letter fell.

He generously stated: The current occupation of the Fulang position by this army is the final battle to hold Nanjing, and all units should be determined to live and die with the position, and the police strictly prohibit the troops from crossing the river by boat without permission.

As soon as Tang Shengzhi's response appeared, it immediately set off an uproar.

He did not directly respond to surrender or not to surrender, but answered with actions: resolutely defend the position, live and die with the position, and swear to defend Nanjing to the death.

"Thoroughly publicize my reply, so that everyone in Nanjing knows that we must not lower our morale because of the Japanese army's letter of persuasion to surrender."

The garrison commander's command soon sent out Tang Shengzhi's order.

Meanwhile.

Han Xianyuan met Han Xin again in shock, and the horror in his heart at the moment could be said to be incomprehensible.

If it can be said that it is a blind coincidence, but if it is expected twice, then it is worth thinking about.

Han Xianyuan even broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, because he thought of Han Xin's third speculation.

The city of Nanjing was broken, and the people were slaughtered.

"No, I can't allow that to happen." Han Xianyuan's heart was a little firmer, even if he was still unwilling to believe Han Xin's speculation, but reason told her that everything had to be prepared for the worst.

"Brother Xianyuan, is it credible now?"

Han Xianyuan nodded, "The matter has come to this, I must prepare for the worst, I said, as long as your second speculation comes true, then I will believe you."

Now that the situation is urgent, I will not stay, and now I will spread the news that "the city of Nanjing is broken and the people are slaughtered". ”

"Good!"

Han Xin nodded, "I'll send my brothers down too." ”

……

In the afternoon of the garrison commander's headquarters, Tang Shengzhi was also taken aback by the effect of his response.

In the whole of Nanjing, the military and the people are united in their hearts and minds, and they are all shouting to defend Nanjing to the death, and even the monitoring troops on the riverside have also come to the news, and so far no evasion has been found.

"What a situation! The military spirit is stable, the people's will is available, and Nanjing can be defended. ”

In the command headquarters, Tang Shengzhi had a feeling.

But just before Tang Shengzhi had time to be happy, Deputy Commander Luo Zhuoying suddenly said:

"Commander, this is very strange! We only send people to publicize your response, so that the military and civilians know about it, so as to boost morale.

However, according to the intelligence officer, public opinion in Nanjing City is not limited to your reply. ”

"Oh, how?"

"There are a lot of rumors now, but the most said is that the city of Nanjing is broken and the people are slaughtered!"

"Fart!"

Tang Shengzhi slapped the table, shaking the water cups on the table and the tea flowed to the ground.

"Check, check it for me immediately, who set off the fallacy!"

"Yes!"

Luo Zhuoying agreed without thinking about it.

Yes, this remark can indeed arouse the anti-Japanese sentiment of the military and people in Nanjing, and fight against the water.

However, on the other hand, this also eliminated the possibility of the retreat of the national army, if the Japanese army broke through the city of Nanjing and really launched a massacre, then the national army chose to retreat knowing the consequences, and it would become a sinner for the ages.

And this is also the reason why Tang Shengzhi is angry.

As for what he said about swearing to defend Nanjing, hehe, maybe it's still at this moment!
