[Wednesday, September 18th.] Today is my dear birthday, forgive me for not being able to sing a birthday song for you at home, but I still made my best wishes for you in distant Nanjing, and also for the soldiers and residents of Nanjing.

The rain continued overnight, and it was still falling, which eased the Japanese offensive a little, but I suspect they will soon make a comeback.

Just now, when I was leading the academy students to help the wounded on the front line, a shell fell not far from us, and some people turned pale with fright, not even noticing that their calves had been cut by the fragments from the explosion. 】

[Thursday, September 19th.] The Japanese artillery fire was more fierce than yesterday, the planes kept whistling over our heads, the anti-aircraft guns on the city wall kept spitting tongues of fire, the fire around the city also burned for a long time, tonight, the southwest sky was reflected in the fire, and all the houses of the poor people near the city wall were in flames, Wendy said that the central courtyard was like an island in the ruins of the embers......]

[Friday, September 20th.] Heavy artillery fire roared day and night, gunfire was everywhere inside and outside the city, and the situation in the whole city was getting worse and worse, and many people were taking money or goods, but they could not buy food.

The Tang commander of the garrison distributed some of the army's food to the people, and had no choice but to slaughter the war horses and share the food, if there was no external aid sent in, Nanjing City might not have food to eat......

Last night, I seemed to see someone sneaking out into the streets and stealing corpses......]

[Saturday, September 21. Today, the battle over the city of Nanjing was fierce, and many planes shuttled back and forth in the sky, attacking each other. The people on the ground were holding their breath, but they couldn't do anything to help, and they just begged our planes to take down more enemy planes.

I noticed that there was a plane depicting a shark's head that was extremely brave, I counted it, he shot down a total of sixteen enemy planes, which was the most enemy planes shot down on our side, and I knew that it must be Lucian, it was Zhou Zhen!

However, what is worrying is that he is outnumbered after all, and after his teammates were shot and had to return, he insisted on entanglement with the enemy, and finally dragged a long stream of flames to the distance...... God bless him, he is the best pilot of the Dragonwalkers. 】

[Sunday, September 22. It was definitely the worst day I've ever lived, not one of them...... There were no planes on our side in the sky, and the Japanese army once again flew over the city of Nanjing with impunity, dropping bombs one bomb after another......

There are many corpses lying across the streets, but there is no one to dispose of them, and over time they emit a strong stench.

Wang Lianhao said that this would lead to the spread of plague in the city, and immediately ordered the soldiers to burn it on the spot, and also erected a monument to the dead...... He said that when a Chinese person dies, he must have a tablet, so that his descendants can worship their ancestors at the right time...... But...... Do these people have any descendants? 】

[Monday, September 23. Early this morning, heavy artillery and machine-gun fire rang out in the southeast and northwest of Nanjing, and everyone was talking about the fact that the garrison might only hold out for three days at most, and that they would abandon the city and retreat as soon as the three days were up.

I asked Wang Lianhao, and he said that he did not know the actual situation of the garrison now, because Chief Tang had not seen him for a day and a night, and it seemed that the situation was not optimistic, and he asked me to be ready to evacuate at any time.

No...... They can't just leave, there are still millions of inhabitants here, the army has withdrawn, what are they going to do? What will the Japanese army do to them after entering the city? From the signs we have seen before, it is not difficult to guess that there is a high probability that there is a massacre here, and it is a massacre! 】

......

[Friday, October 11.] We've had a hellish month...... Hunger, sickness, bullets, exhaustion, they are constantly coming to our ears like a lullaby played by death......

Everyone in the garrison was injured, and Chief Tang was even blind in one eye, but fortunately, with the full rescue of Ma Daochang and Li Zhaodi, a life was recovered.

The bad news came one after another, Zhou Zhen's plane crashed and his life and death were unknown, the task force was trapped in the mountains by the Japanese army and could not break through the encirclement, and Chief Tang's superiors kept ordering him to withdraw his troops and abandon the city...... We have no food, no medicine, not even bullets left...... Is it really going to lose?

My dear...... You have to do something, you have to do something! Help us...... Help the people here, they can't hold on......]

[Saturday, October 12th. In a daze, I was woken up by buckteeth, and he said that the Japanese had entered the city at 4 a.m. from Gwanghwamon.

The few remaining garrisons under the leadership of Wang Lianhao turned into street fighting, and continued to delay the Japanese army's march into the city, and we also withdrew from the east to the west of the city, and set up a defensive front in the narrow part of the road.

Wang Lianhao asked me to evacuate with Bucktooth and Mazi first, but I saw that his tone was not ready to leave, and he seemed to want to defend the city.

Wang Lianhao's assistant Gonda was shot today, he was shot in the abdomen, and he was bleeding profusely, but he still covered his wounds and ran away.

I tried to stop him from bandaging his wound, but when he let go of his left hand on his abdomen, I noticed that his intestines had fallen out of his body at some point, and he just grabbed his intestines and ran all the way......

Song Qing, who had both legs amputated in the battle a few days ago, also rejoined the battle with a gun, he asked us to place him behind a machine gun, smiled and let us go first, he would drag the enemy in pursuit.

His smile was bloody, and he was determined to die...... We held back our tears and waved at him, but he winked at us and grimaced......]

[Sunday, October 13th.] There are corpses everywhere, there are killings everywhere, the Japanese have gone crazy, they shoot at all the citizens who can move, rape women, set fire to houses, and do not spare even babies in swaddling clothes!

There were planes flying in the sky again, and at first I thought it was the enemy's, but those planes began to shoot fiercely at the Japanese troops! Beat! Hit hard! Kill this group of little devils who are inferior to beasts! 】

[Monday, October 14th.] Today is a memorable day, our troops successfully broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army, and brought other fraternal troops to support the Japanese army. Block them in the city of Nanjing, eat them up little by little, and get rid of them little by little!

Today I also saw Xiaodong, Lao Zhang, Yuan Qing, Yuan Shan, Dabao, Mancang, etc., etc.! It's great to see them again! They are like family to me!

Their appearance also heralded the end of the siege of Nanjing, and the Japanese army was forced to withdraw in the direction of Shanghai. It was only later that I asked them why, and this major change was due to Zhou Zhen's work, and another good news came to our ears.

The federal government of the New World has announced that it has officially declared war on Japan! 】
