Considering that the Japanese army had the advantage of artillery fire, especially the fact that naval ships could enter the "golden waterway" of the Yangtze River to shell the whole city of Nanjing (Hu Weidong had suggested that Chiang lay mines in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River to block the shipping lane, but Chiang Lao was afraid that this would anger the British and American Western powers, so he never dared to do so). [][]), too much troop hoarding will only increase unnecessary casualties, so they sent all the soldiers who were seriously injured (so that it affected their combat effectiveness) to the rear to recuperate, got 200,000 elite soldiers, and then gave them a turnip and a pit to arrange tasks respectively, requiring them to "defend independently, do not ask for help, do not wait for help, until they run out." Those who retreat are to be shot by the Warlords. He himself tied a bundle of grenades to his body, prepared to commit suicide in the fall of the city to avoid being captured, and at the same time made people repeatedly publicize the atrocities of the Japanese army in the torture and killing of prisoners of war in the army, so as to dispel the luck of his subordinates.

After such a three-pronged approach, the defense of the city was all desperately fought, and the Japanese army was generally exhausted after the Battle of Songhu, and the consumption of ammunition was also quite large, especially after the North China Front Army lost more than 200,000 people, Japan was forced to greatly expand its army, not only the quality of the soldiers declined somewhat, but the ammunition reserves were also rapidly diluted, and the more than 10,000 Type 24 submachine guns produced by the Guotong District Arsenal after receiving the support of Jishu in the border area played a miraculous effect in street fighting, not only because of its great power, but also because of its far better flexibility than machine guns. The role of the Japanese grenadiers was greatly reduced, and what even Chen Mingren did not expect was that the Japanese army had temporarily retreated after attacking Nanjing for more than a month

At the heavy cost of more than three-quarters of the casualties and nearly half of the casualties, more than 80,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded (about 30,000 of them were killed). [. YZUU point] can be said to be the most haode battle since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Mingren has also become one of the few top generals, but his unruliness has caused Lao Jiang a great headache, and he privately called it "the second Wei Lihuang". After the Japanese army retreated, he abandoned Nanjing without waiting for the consent of the Military Commission, and led troops to cover the westward retreat of some Nanjing citizens who had not had time to evacuate before the war. The Prime Minister's Mausoleum was guarded. Lao Jiang felt as disgusting as eating a fly, so Chen Mingren did not get the reward he deserved after the war, and even the position of commander of the 88th Division was shaky. Fortunately, Lao Jiang still admires him after all. Considering that Li Zongren had complained to the Military Commission that there were no soldiers available, Lao Chiang simply transferred Chen Mingren to the command of his most feared opponent in the Kuomintang, so that Li Zongren could also learn Chen Mingren's stinky temper

Because Chen Mingren knew in advance that Japanese spies were pervasive. So the order to withdraw the troops was given so suddenly that the devil's agents didn't have time to report in time, and when the main force of the Japanese army entered and occupied Nanjing, they found that the capital of the Republic of China had almost become an empty city. The angry commander of the Central China Front of Japan, Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya (Matsui Ishone's tuberculosis worsened, and the Japanese army headquarters sent this uncle of Emperor Hirohito to temporarily take over the post of commander. He ordered the execution of all prisoners of war and connived at his subordinates to burn and loot all over the city of Nanjing, including some of the "safe zones." Soon after, after Matsui Ishine recovered from his illness and returned to office, Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya also continued to "break the Chinese's anti-Japanese fighting spirit and force Chiang to surrender by brutally attacking Nanjing." The scale of the massacre was further expanded, although because of the bloody struggle of 200,000 Chen Mingren and others. Most of the civilians in Nanjing were evacuated safely, but there were still more than 100,000 people who did not believe that the devils would be so brutal and stubbornly unwilling to leave their homes, more than half of them were killed by the Japanese army, plus those prisoners of war killed by the Japanese army, the total number was no less than 70,000. Among the Japanese troops, the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, a descendant of Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya, committed the most evil, and the number of killings accounted for seventy percent of the total number of victims. …,

After a series of proposals were rejected by Lao Chiang, Hu Weidong knew that he was powerless to prevent the "Nanjing Massacre" from happening, but in order not to be known to the world after a long time after the Nanjing Massacre was like in history, he specially sent some special combat personnel to pretend to be Japanese in advance (Lao Chiang has always strictly forbidden to harm Japanese "civilians" during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression). So Hu Weidong didn't worry about them being killed by mistake) lived in the city of Nanjing, on the one hand to save some people as much as he could, and on the other hand, he filmed the atrocities of the devils as irrefutable evidence of their crimes.

After the photo was published in the newspaper, the domestic military and civilians were all indignant, and Chen Mingren and other soldiers defending the city were even more distressed, "I knew that the devils were really so inhumane, even if they were tied up, they would be taken away!" The Japanese top brass fell into great passivity, but the final result was that the two main culprits of the massacre were not culprit, and Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe, like many of his predecessors, became the scapegoat of the military department and stepped down, for which the intelligence work of the Red Party was also affected and affected, and this was only the beginning

After the fall of Nanjing, Hefei was also captured by the Japanese army soon after, although the losses at this time were still much smaller than the same period in history, but the weapons and ammunition have been increasingly stretched with the continuation of the war and the expansion of the army, so Lao Chiang was particularly eager for Soviet aid. And because of Hu Weidong's good impression on Lao Jiang before, coupled with his status as a military expert, Lao Jiang specifically asked the negotiators of the government to ask him for more advice, Hu Weidong focused on the anti-Japanese war plan, and naturally would not hide his secrets, although the representatives of the government did not have the courage to carry out strict quality inspection of the Soviet-aided weapons, but they listened to Hu Weidong's suggestions on the variety of weapons, and did not ask for any Soviet-style artillery that was too cumbersome (especially the legendary 130mm howitzer), and focused on the introduction of light weapons, light artillery and aircraft, The serious waste in history was avoided, and the continuous expansion of the production capacity of the low-quality Type 24 submachine guns and the required ammunition in the arsenal of the Kuomintang region largely made up for the disadvantage of too many recruits

As soon as Hu Weidong came, the deadlock in the negotiation was immediately solved, and Zhou Gong couldn't help but have the idea of letting Hu Weidong do diplomatic work for a while, Hu Weidong was sweating profusely after learning about it, and quickly explained that he was not good at diplomacy, but he just knew more about Western civilization, and then wrote a special article to explain the differences between Eastern and Western civilizations.
