Chiang Kai-shek's greatest concern was that in the end, his patience forced Berlin to make the final concessions, and before that, Foreign Minister Hirota seized the opportunity to visit Europe, spreading all over the world that China was gradually approaching [***], that the Nationalist power would fall into [***] strategy, that China's resistance was due to Chiang Kai-shek's instigation of Stalin's Russia, that the anti-Japanese front was built on the basis of the Communist Party and the United Communist Party, and that he was an accomplice of the Soviet Union. Chiang Kai-shek originally thought that he could reverse black and white, although he still felt that his skills were insufficient compared to some people, but in the face of his own shamelessness, Chiang Kai-shek felt ashamed for the first time, and he was ashamed!

Chiang Kai-shek can only use the shameless ones he has seen, but he has never seen such shameless ones, but Chiang Kai-shek feels that the establishment of Nanjing and Shanghai as demilitarized zones seems to be extremely feasible, because it seems that it will take time to deploy troops by himself, and no matter what conspiracy he wants to play, he only needs to refuse to agree to the negotiations. I'm afraid only God knows, and Chiang Kai-shek knows that the next step in his victory over Nanjing must be to attack Xuzhou, a strategic place that has been fought for by soldiers since ancient times. Let me make a mockery of the League of Nations at one time? Leaving the entire Western world in disgrace?

This is only good for China and there is no harm in it, and the main force of the five central armies, of which he is the main force, will be able to complete the final reorganization in 20 days to a month, and can be put into actual combat at any time as a strategic force that will decide the outcome of the battle; the Fifth Army, the 89th Army, the 92nd Army, the 98th Army, and the 100th Army are all units that he has carefully selected, and a large number of Soviet weapons have been given priority to supplementing. In particular, the 200th Division of the Fifth Army was the first mechanized unit under the direct control of the Supreme Military Council of the National Axe, which was formed in imitation of the mechanized division of the Rehe Army.

However, his own conditions also made Chiang Kai-shek quite suspicious? That is why Ben took the initiative to let the multinational force of the League of Nations take over the defense of Nanjing?

It is understandable that Nanjing is declared a demilitarized zone, that is, he does not want to pay too many casualties in the street fighting, but why did he take the initiative to turn Shanghai into an immaterial zone as well? What do I want to do?

Moreover, it is said that the main force of the Central China Dispatch Army will be withdrawn from Huai'an and Linyi to Jinan under the command of Commander General Tada Jun, while the main force of the North China Dispatch Army will be withdrawn to Jinan along Heze, Jining, and Linyi under the command of Commander Terauchi Shouichi, so as to maintain the ceasefire line between Zibo, Liaocheng, and Handan!

I don't think I'm stupid? Chiang Kai-shek was even more stupid? Isn't this retreat process equivalent to the fact that the [***] team wants to give up the north and south ends of Longhai Road and let Yu himself retreat? To put it nicely, it is a retreat, and this retreat process is actually a process of great encirclement, and he has deceived himself four times, if he is deceiving himself this time? What about the League of Nations and the Nine-Nation Pact?

Chiang Kai-shek did not bother at all about the fact that Prince Zairen, the special envoy of the plenipotentiary negotiator in this regard, would go to Shanghai to negotiate with the national political axe, as in everything before, he had the honor of being a professional household with the royal back black pot, and the honor of becoming the civil affairs axe of our country, and the merits of his own strategizing as the chairman of the committee, the loser was incompetent, misleading the country and the people, otherwise he would still be in a high position by virtue of his repeated opposition to Chiang?

Nanjing and Shanghai will be designated as a demilitarized zone, and the warships and marines can be stationed in Shanghai, although the army will withdraw accordingly, but the army, navy and air force of the Republic of China will not be allowed to enter the demilitarized zone between Shanghai and Nanjing, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation, and demand the return of the head of Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, which was cut off by the [***] assault team of the Chinese [***] commando team before the negotiations? These conditions made Chiang Kai-shek feel a deep sense of humiliation, and set up a demilitarized zone on Chinese soil, which only China's own troops could not enter? Will the armies of the rest of the nations be able to enter? What is this? Will the Eight-Nation Coalition enter Nanjing?

However, Chiang Kai-shek also had a painful place, that is, Zhang Xuewu's special forces actually gave Yue himself a beheading operation? The head of the lieutenant general of the Imperial Imperial Family, Prince Hatohiko, was cut off, and in addition to being excited, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly wanted to build such a handy elite army, but before that, Chiang Kai-shek considered the most to first form an elite army to defend the surname, and all the standards were on par with the special paratroop assault force of the Rehe Army, and the tactical feature was how to defend this army, otherwise it would be too scary to have a life to sleep and get up without a head, and it was really not an exaggeration to say that it was difficult to sleep and eat. You can leap thousands of miles to fight in one day by plane, and this unit is worthy of being the trump card among the trump cards in Zhang Xuewu's hands.

The Battle of Nanjing was a battle in which there was no winner, and after the armistice, the troops of the army took the initiative to withdraw from the city, and along the way, the officers and men of the army looked at their comrades who had fallen in the rubble and rubble and silently shed tears; if it was in the past, there must have been angry officers and soldiers who resisted the orders given by their superiors, and the officers and men of the nine divisions and regiments of the army that participated in the attack on Nanjing, five mixed brigades and two detachments, were silently retreating at this moment, and no one jumped out to shout for fighting to the end.

Although they attacked the city and occupied the first line of the Confucius Temple, none of the officers and soldiers dared to say that we were about to win, because the word victory was too far away for the officers and soldiers of the army, from the extreme excitement of the initial attack on the city to the final despair, every time they occupied a street and a house, they had to pay unimaginable casualties, in order to fight for the stone temple at the south entrance of the Confucius Temple. The whole squadron of the Yue army was shattered here, and the result was that it was recaptured by the counterattack of the Chinese defenders that night, and the Yue army once again paid the price of four squadrons to capture here, and then lost that night, and finally could only use heavy artillery and aerial bombardment to completely wipe the stone temple off the map.

There are too many such examples, from the incomparably excited when the army attacked Nanjing to the manic madness during the period, so that the numbness and despair now, Nanjing left the army not only an unforgettable memory, but also a place that made the army feel deep fear and despair, there was once a junior officer who committed suicide by swallowing a gun because of fear of going into battle again into the city to fight, and the news was blocked in time, otherwise the morale of the army that was almost completely lost would have suffered a more fatal blow.

Tada Jun set up a tent at Zhonghua Gate, and the liaison officers of the Chinese garrison discussed with the liaison officers of the Chinese garrison how to collect the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers, while Zhang Xuewu and Tadajun, as the supreme commanders between the two armies, started an unplanned continuation of the war at Zhonghua Gate.

Tada Jun wanted to see in person the demeanor of Zhang Xuewu, the Chinese general who turned Nanjing into the cemetery of the Imperial Army, which can be called the meat grinder of Jinling, Zhang Xuewu also wanted to see the true face of these warmongers who took the invasion as their own responsibility and liked to impose wars on others, the descendants of a down-and-out samurai family, Tada Jun, who had served as the president of the University of the Imperial Army, was still very good at tactics, and as soon as he took over, he showed a tactical style that was very different from that of Prince Hatohiko of the Asakanomiya, which also made Zhang Xuewu struggle to deal with it and almost rushed.

On July 4, 1937, it was said that for China, this was an extremely ordinary day, and if there was anything special, it was the United States of America to commemorate the death of the Polish physicist Madame Curie, but these had nothing to do with the current war.

A senior general of the Imperial Army deigned to wait for a new lieutenant general of the Republic of China, which was originally extremely impossible, but now it has become a fact, Tada Jun very much wants to see for himself what kind of guy is so stubborn, the city that could not be defended has become a classic example in the defensive war, first in Chengde, and then in Nanjing, Zhang Xuewu's decent attack is probably only the mechanized troops counterattack the 11th Brigade of the Infantry, In addition, the battles commanded by Zhang Xuewu were almost entirely defensive battles, and his elusive special forces killed themselves alone.

After inspecting the scene of the attack, Major General Nanbu Ichiro of the Imperial Special Operations Force from Tokyo praised him again and again, and also handed over the bodies of the dead Chinese commandos in coffins.

However, Nanbu Ichiro and Ishihara Waner are the same people, they are not afraid of the rain and nostrils are the guys, if it weren't for Zhang Xuewu's special forces repeatedly causing heavy losses to the empire, I'm afraid that Nanbu Ichiro would have been transferred to the reserve long ago, today I met with Zhang Xuewu to discuss the withdrawal of troops, Nanbu Ichiro also asked to go, Tada Jun took into account that Zhang Xuewu is the founder of the Rehe special forces, and Nanbu Ichiro is building the special forces of the Great Empire, for this reason, Tada Jun came to the ruins of the Zhonghua Gate with a fierce face on his face.

As a result of the negotiations, the remains of the Chinese and Chinese armies near the Zhonghua Gate were cleaned up, but the rancid smell of flies flying everywhere still made people feel uneasy.

The Zhonghua Gate has long been blown into ruins because of the previous battles and the continuous city walls, and Tada Jun once came to Nanjing many years ago, and he was deeply impressed by the ancient city walls and prosperity of Nanjing.
