Chapter 466 The final report

"It has been twenty-four days since the Japanese pirates launched an attack on Nanjing on the 29th.

During these twenty-four days, Nanjing was constantly bombing by Japanese pirates, and the brave soldiers of the national army fought hard when their weapons and equipment were completely inferior to those of their opponents.

The brave and warlike soldiers of the national army sprinkled blood in Nanjing with their infinite loyalty to the country.

Just as this report was written, bad news came from the front line. Major General General Yao Zhongying, Chief of Staff of the National Army, died in his country, and Colonel Commander Xie Chengrui, unfortunately fell into the water and died while commanding the wounded to retreat...

The sun and the moon are bright and shining forever!

On the day when the War of Resistance Against Japan is victorious, please don’t forget these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country and nation!

During these twenty-four days, my brave soldiers of the National Army shot dead and injured more than 10,000 Japanese pirates, forcing the Japanese pirates to make it difficult to move forward in the city of Nanjing, so that they could know the decision and courage of our Chinese nation to fight against the war.

The one who commanded the Nanjing Defense War was Jiang Baili, the former Chief of Staff of the Third War Zone and the Chief of the Nanjing Garrison Commander.

This "Three Non-commissioned Officers" back then once slapped the arrogant Japanese slaves loudly at the non-commissioned officer school on the Japanese island. Now in Nanjing, he once again told the Japanese pirates that he had defeated them at the beginning, and that he still defeated them now!

Since the establishment of the Third War Zone, General Jiang Baili has been in poor health. He assisted in commanding every major battle with illness. When I saw him yesterday, I almost shed tears. Is this the energetic "Three Non-commissioned Officers" that was the first to be?

General Jiang Baili's face was pale and bloodless. He could see that the general was very thin and weak. He had to barely stand firm with the help of his wife.

The lady quietly told me that the general had started coughing up blood a few days ago, and he never had a good sleep at night. At the worst, he was in a coma for several hours.

I couldn't help but burst into tears at that time. For Nanjing and the Third War Zone, the general was commanding the battle under such physical conditions.

I am really worried now, worried that the general will fall down anytime and anywhere. It will not only be the loss of the Third War Zone, but also the loss of the entire country...

Street fighting is about to begin, and I see soldiers busy transporting boxes of ammunition into various street fighting fortifications.

The Central Bank Building and the National Government Building, every place has become a battlefield, and every place will become the place where the Japanese pirates who are about to enter Nanjing will die...

In fact, the soldiers could evacuate anytime and anywhere, and there were ships to pick them up on the dock, but it seemed that all the soldiers had forgotten this. Even after the headquarters had issued an order that the wounded could evacuate, the soldiers who could still stand up completely resisted the order.

They know better than anyone what it means to stay here. Maybe they will never be able to leave Nanjing alive, but they don’t care because they have faith in their hearts, the deepest belief in the nation, and the country.

Some foreigners did not evacuate. They believed that war was only a matter for China and the island countries, and they would not be harmed by the neutral side.

Americans, British, and of course Germans…

Some of them looked indifferently at everything in front of them as outsiders, some curiously asked about some things they shouldn't know, and some even suggested that the Chinese army lay down their weapons.

These damn foreigners, who think that the war continues, then their property in the city will suffer losses, and they completely ignore this that one country is invading another.

The only thing they thought was whether their house would be blown up under the bombardment of shells.

I really want to tell these people in front of them. ‘Fuck you, fuck it’! I admit that I have always had a good impression of European and American countries in the past, always thinking that they are democratic, free, advanced, or just. But now their ugly faces are finally exposed to us.

Of course, not every foreigner is so selfish and indifferent.

Maggie, the American missionary I know, expressed full understanding and sympathy for the war we are going on, and of course we need more than just understanding and sympathy now.

He told our soldiers that although this is not allowed, his church can provide some help to our troops when necessary, such as sheltering wounded or other things.

I am very grateful to him, but I also told this American missionary that our soldiers would not hide from his church because of fear.

The Drum Tower Church has set up a "Church Emergency Committee" in which they have divided the so-called "safety zone" to pay refugees and have tried their best to persuade our soldiers not to pass through the "safety zone".

There are no refugees in Nanjing, but only troops fighting for the country.

The evacuation work began very early before this, and a large number of civilians were forcibly evacuated to the rear. Now, Nanjing has become a battlefield from outside the city to the city, a battlefield that will completely destroy Japanese pirates.

In the so-called "safe zone", more people live in foreigners in Nanjing.

As far as I know, many foreigners in Nanjing have prepared two types of flags, from their own countries and island countries. Once the Japanese pirates enter Nanjing, I believe they will hang them out as soon as possible.

But the Chinese have only prepared a flag for themselves.

The blue sky and the white sun are all red!

This is the flag of the Republic of China. No matter how far the defense war in Nanjing has been carried out, I believe that at the highest point of Nanjing, our national flag will definitely fly. No matter how fierce the defense war in Nanjing has reached, our national flag will never fall!

Everyone has faith, and this is my unwavering faith!

The sound of cannons outside became even more intense. Looking out from the window, you could see a large number of soldiers rushing to the city gate. At the same time, a large number of wounded people were transported down.

I heard that the garrison headquarters had moved to a solid fortress, and no one in the headquarters had left Nanjing. They were telling the soldiers with practical actions that the commanders at all levels were fighting side by side with them.

Please remember the names of these officers.

Jiang Baili, commander of Nanjing Garrison Command, deputy commander Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, chief of staff Xiao Shanling, commander of 66th Army Ye Zhao, commander of 74th Army Yu Jishi...

Just as I was writing this article, I received another bad news. Huang Jifu, the colonel, the 477th Brigade of the 159th Division of the 66th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, was killed in the bloody battle between Guanghuamen and the Island Army.

I found that my feelings have never been fragile. Whenever I heard the name of a fallen soldier, tears would always flow down, and I felt heartbroken for our dead warriors.

I found that my nerves have never been that strong. No matter how much sacrifice we have suffered, they will still hit our backbone. I firmly believe that the final victory must belong to us!

This may be the last manuscript I posted, because after the manuscript was sent back, the Central Daily News also temporarily completed its use in Nanjing. When I put down my pen, when I picked up my weapons, I will fight with the soldiers to defend Nanjing until the last breath!

If I sacrifice too, my companions, please do not grieve for me, because I die without regrets;

If I sacrifice too, my fellow countrymen, please do not be sad for me, for I died for my country;

If I sacrifice too, my brothers, please do not observe silence for me. Please take up your weapons and shed blood and sacrifice for our nation just like me!

Goodbye, when you see this report, it will make me, the last report sent back by Gui Mengfan, a special reporter of the Central Daily in Nanjing!

From this minute on, there will be no reporter Gui Mengfan, but only one soldier Gui Mengfan!

On January 24, 28th year of the Republic of China, I returned to my dream sail.”

Gui Mengfan fell the last word, let out a gentle breath, and handed him over to his assistant Xiao Qian.

"Send it back to me."

"What about you?" Xiao Qian took it over and asked carefully.

"Me?" Gui Mengfan smiled: "I will continue to fulfill my mission, but instead of sitting here to post some reports, I will go to the front line to fight the Japanese pirates!"

Xiao Qian nodded vigorously: "I will come soon after I finish posting this report for you!"

The position of the 160th Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

"Hurry up, the movements are all the same!" Chief of Staff Situ Fei shouted loudly: "The Japanese are about to enter the city, and the movements are all the same. Who is doing what bird thing?"

"Report, Gui Mengfan reports to you!"

The voice behind him made Situ Fei turn around. When he saw that it was Gui Mengfan, he asked and answered curiously: "Great reporter, why are you here? Which word did you report to me?"

"This is the command of the headquarters." Gui Mengfan handed over an appointment to Situ Fei: "Now I am no longer a reporter, please allow me to participate in the battle!"

Situ Fei glanced at him, smiled, took a gun from the soldier on the side and threw it to Gui Mengfan.

"Good guy, you can use your pen and use a gun. So, just stay in my division headquarters!"

Gui Mengfan took the gun and skillfully fiddled with it for a few times. He was a "Central General" person, and this thing was not a problem for him. However, he is neither a reporter nor a spy now. He is just an ordinary soldier among the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Nanjing Defense Battle.

On January 27, 2018, under the continuous and violent bombardment of the island army's planes and cannons, the Nanjing Garrison Command ordered the abandonment of the city gates and the troops entered street fighting to continue to defend Nanjing.

Starting from December 19, 2027, the Chinese army fought an arduous defense battle and resisted the island army in the direction of the city gate for nearly a month.

It has exceeded previous imagination, and the beginning of the street fighting also means that the defense of Nanjing has entered another period. The Japanese pirates who invaded Nanjing are about to come to another battlefield, a place that they cannot forget forever...
