Jihua's words not only stunned Todman, but also made Chiang Kai-shek stunned, 7 looked at Zhuang Jihua wonderfully, Todman felt a little unreasonable, the current situation is obviously the Japanese army has the advantage, international military experts, including Falkenhausen believe that China's resistance will end within a few months; However, this young general, who was admired by General Seckert, was unashamedly demanding that Japan surrender unconditionally. \\、0m//

"General Zhuang, I once heard General Seckert and General Falkenhausen talk about you, and they unanimously praised you as an excellent general, but General, the current situation is unfavorable for your country, and this kind of talk is undoubtedly a challenge." Toddman's tone was very sincere, and the gray eyes behind the lenses stared straight at Zhuang Jihua.

"It's nothing, although you passed it on, the Japanese seem to be strong, but in fact they are very weak," Zhuang Jihua met Todman's gaze nonchalantly: "They can win one, two, ten, twenty battles, but they can't win the war; Mr. Ambassador, those guys in the Japanese archipelago are crazy, and one or two victories make them so happy that they can't find the north, and they don't know what their ancestors are called; Mr. Ambassador, if you are still in China, then in a year or two you will see the Japanese begging grandpa to sue grandma for peace talks. ”

Zhuang Jihua walked up as he spoke, patting Todman on the shoulder gently, but this act that violated diplomatic etiquette did not cause Todman to protest: "The purpose of I ask you to pass this on is to tell the Japanese our conditions in advance, so that there will be no need for intermediaries to run around in the future, which is quite tiring." ”

Tao Deman smiled a little bitterly, he looked at Chiang Kai-shek, asked for his opinion, Chiang Kai-shek frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said: "Mr. Ambassador, the Cultural Revolution is a joke, there is no need to pass this on." ”

Todman nodded: "If the Japanese side agrees, I will inform you in the shortest possible time." ”

With that, Todman turned around and got into the car and walked away.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the dust raised behind the car, and shook his head helplessly, his words are about to be passed on, the Japanese will still negotiate peace if they want to talk, at least they can grasp the pulse of the Japanese before negotiations.

On the evening of the same day, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order to set up the Nanjing Garrison Command, appointing Zhuang Jihua as the commander of the garrison, Jiang Baili and Luo Zhuoying as deputy commanders, Gu Zhenglun as the general staff, Fu Chang as the chief of staff, and Zhou Lan as the deputy chief of staff.

Chiang Kai-shek issued a circular to the whole country, announcing that China would fight the war of resistance to the end, never surrender, and never sign the alliance under the city, the circular said that since the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan, all the officers and men of the whole army have fought bravely, and the sacrifices were particularly huge, although our army in the Shanghai battle was transferred, but it gave the Japanese army great casualties, breaking the Japanese army's wild words of destroying China in three months, and our army will continue to fight the enemy in the future, and he warned the national war of resistance is a long-term and arduous one, do not care about temporary setbacks, and the final victory must be ours.

Accompanying the proclamation came a murderous order, which was conveyed to every unit and every police station in the city, as well as to the officials of the city government: "The area of operation of the Nanjing garrison and the police gendarmerie is Nanjing, and the retreating troops must be signed by Commander Zhuang Jihua of the garrison headquarters. Nanjing is fighting to the death, and I hope that all the kings will fight to defend Nanjing!! ”

The next day. Zhuang Jihua held a joint military-political meeting at the garrison headquarters. At this meeting, Zhuang Jihua announced three orders with absolute arbitrariness: martial law in the whole city of Nanjing. The police gendarmerie and the units directly under the 49th Group Army dispatched personnel to patrol the streets; Second. set up a propaganda team to support the front team; Third. Nanjing will become a theater of operations. To reduce unnecessary casualties. Immediately organize the retreat of the citizens.

"Mayor Yang. Commander Gu. Director Shaw. The evacuation of the citizens will be left to you. What are you going to do? After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he asked Yang Yongtai and the others.

Zhuang Jihuadi's way of working is very familiar to Yang Yongtai. However, it is a little difficult to accept Gu Zhenglun, commander of the military police, and Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police and director of the National Police Agency. Felt like he was too aggressive.

"It's a matter of moments, and then there's a way right away." Gu Zhenglun snorted. He was a veteran of the Kuomintang. He followed Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing to participate in the Xinhai Revolution very early. After the Northern Expedition, he served as commander of the gendarmerie. Single-handedly trained the gendarmerie. His brothers Gu Zhenggang and Gu Zhengding are all members of the Central Committee. He is in a high position in the party, government and army. It can be described as a prominent family. Now Zhuang Jihua, a junior in Whampoa, has actually become his boss. It made him a little uncomfortable.

"The Chairman's order is clear. There is no warrant from me. No one can leave Nanjing. Zhuang Jihua doesn't have time to care about their feelings now. There was a menacing tone in his tone: "Before the citizens retreat." All officials of the Nanjing municipal government were not allowed to retreat. Including your local family. Violators. He was punished for the crime of shaking the morale of the military. ”

Everyone at the joint meeting was stunned. Including Gu Zhenglun. His face changed dramatically. Gu Zhenglun was about to have a seizure. Yang Yongtai rushed ahead of him. Only Yang Yongtai understands. Zhuang Jihua is playing really. If anyone really dares to commit a crime against the wind. Zhuang Jihua is a place where he dares to kill.

"Commander Zhuang, Commander Gu is telling the truth, Nanjing is such a big city, with a population of millions of people, how to organize a retreat, we are not very clear, one

It's going to cause a lot of turmoil in the whole city, and that's really bad. ”

"Step by step," Xiao Shanling, although he is the deputy commander of the military police, is also the director of the police department, and knows more about grassroots affairs: "With the police in charge of the area as a unit, mobilize the retreat door to door, but there are two points to be clear, the route of retreat and the means of transportation. ”

"It is impossible for the government to provide such a means of transportation," Zhuang Jihua said arbitrarily: "The route of retreat can be taken as long as the Japanese army does not occupy the place, as long as it does not stay in Nanjing." ”

Speechless, Xiao Shanling was a little speechless, and it was a little unimaginable to drive millions of people out of Nanjing like this.

"I think it's okay," Yang Yongtai came forward to reconcile again: "Escape is nothing more than two roads, west and north." However, during the Cultural Revolution, so many people, the best way to leave the city quickly was to cross the river, and it would be safe for the time being after crossing the Yangtze River, and the Japanese had not yet attempted to fight the Yangtze River. ”

"Well," Yang Yongtai's proposal was very reasonable, and Zhuang Jihua nodded in acceptance: "This is the fastest shortcut, build a bridge over the Yangtze River, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhou, you supervise and do it, and build it as soon as possible." ”

Zhou Lan stood up and agreed, and then sat down. The retreat of the citizens has been arranged at this point. organized the front team and the propaganda team, Zhuang Jihua handed him over to Teng Jie.

After the Blue Coat Society ceased its activities, Teng Jie took over the position of director of the Political Training Division of the Military Command Department of He Jinhan, and also served as the director general of the Three Youth League.

After the establishment of the garrison headquarters, diplomats and journalists from various countries clearly felt the changes in Nanjing, and suddenly Nanjing began to move from chaos to order.

The propaganda car walked in the streets and alleys, and the loudspeaker on the car kept playing the letter of Gao Nanjing issued by the garrison headquarters:

"Citizens of Nanjing, I am Zhuang Jihua, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, the Japanese army is approaching Nanjing, I am ordered to hold Nanjing, Nanjing is about to become a battlefield, in order to avoid civilian casualties, non-combatants, especially women, the elderly and children, should leave Nanjing as soon as possible, and they can visit relatives and friends, compatriots, we will fight with the Japanese army outside the city of Nanjing, fight inside the city of Nanjing, we will defend Nanjing, defend our capital Oxford to the last drop of blood..."

"The No. 1 order of the Nanjing Garrison Command, from now on, will impose military control over Nanjing, and martial law will be imposed on the whole city of Nanjing.

"Letter from the Nanjing Garrison Command to the Citizens......"

The sound of the loudspeaker on the propaganda vehicle echoed in the city of Nanjing, and the newspaper announced the news of the internal relocation on the whole page.

Jinling University, Jinling Women's University, and Jinling Middle School have successively announced internal relocation, and then major hospitals have also announced internal relocation.

"Uncle Wang, hurry up, there is going to be a war in the city, what? If you don't leave, what will happen to your grandson? Watching him get killed? ”

"I said Second Uncle Gu, why haven't you left yet, you don't have a ticket? What else do you need, go to Shimonoseki Wharf, get on the boat if you have it, and things at home? If you can, just throw it away, this road is still long. ”

"Why are you still opening a store, you are not afraid of Japanese shells, what about your sister-in-law and nephew?"

……

The policemen led the gendarmes to persuade the neighbors to leave quickly, and most of them took the soft and set out on the road to the west.

On the streets, a group of soldiers were working hard to build barricades, a group of young students and citizens formed a detachment to drive out of the city, soldiers and gendarmes in different costumes patrolled the streets, the atmosphere of war over Nanjing became even stronger, and now no one doubted that Nanjing would not fight, and more citizens left their homes after hesitation.

This is the first large-scale purposeful and organized internal relocation in the history of the Republic of China, and millions of Nanjing citizens have left their homes one after another, leaving the city where they grew up, leaving their familiar environment, and heading to the vast and unknown distance.

"Stop!"

A second lieutenant at the gate of the city stopped a group of routers and asked loudly, "Which part of you are?" ”

A major came out of the rout: "We are the vanguard of the 36th Division, and we were ordered to go to Nanjing for rectification. ”

"You'll wait." After the second lieutenant finished speaking, he ran into the city gate cave, and after a while, a major came, and after the two majors met, they quickly talked clearly, and the city gate major sent someone to lead the 36th Division to their designated camp, and the major of the 36th Division went to the garrison headquarters to report.

There are not many soldiers who have retreated from the front line every day, and hundreds of people have to be stopped at the city gate every day, and their formations are completely dispersed, and there are more than 200 people who were stopped at the Taipingmen, and once they were inquired, there were actually seven unit numbers, and all these routed troops were gathered up and concentrated in Yuhuatai.

While the citizens were evacuating, Zhuang Jihua began to make adjustments to the troops.
