Chapter 338 The women among the Thirteen Beauties of Jinling
Just when He Feiyang was thinking about whether to use heavy artillery troops, the entire capital city was already filled with panic at this moment, especially those citizens who had no way to escape. Even foreigners were also quite nervous and anxious.
Paying attention to the current situation, there were even many foreigners gathered together to discuss what should be done if the national army was unable to hold on to the city and was breached by the Japanese army.
Although these foreigners staying here are not very worried that the Japanese army will kill them, it would be false to say that they are not worried about their own safety at all.
As early as November 22, some foreigners in the capital city had begun to formally establish the International Committee of the Capital Security Zone, with Rabe elected as the chairman, and Reverend John Magee, who was sent by the American Episcopal Church to preach.
as a member.
In addition, a branch of the International Red Cross, with Maggi as its chairman, was immediately established to prepare for the full rescue of refugees and wounded soldiers. The Red Cross branch accepted wounded soldiers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Military Affairs into the hospital and was established
The Red Cross Refugee Hospital takes in seriously wounded soldiers.

These 24 international friends, represented by Ruhart Harz of Austria and more than 20 international friends, were invited by Hang Liwu, then chairman of the board of directors of Jinling University (who later left Nanjing because he was ordered to escort cultural relics to the west) to voluntarily stay in Nanjing.
Here in the capital, the International Committee for Safe Zones was established following the example in Songhu to provide refuge for fellow refugees whose homes had been destroyed by the war.
This famous International Committee for Safe Zones later protected about 250,000 domestic compatriots from being killed by the Japanese army.
When the battle outside became more and more fierce,
Rabe, Fei Wusheng, Maggie, Minnie Vautrin and other foreigners also gathered together to discuss matters in the living room of Rabe's house.
"The fighting outside is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Chinese troops? I heard that the Japanese army has now attacked the Zhonghua Gate. I don't know how long they can hold on there, because I heard from the wounded soldiers who were transported back.
The battle situation on one side is very bad!"
"The elite troops of the 88th German Arms Division and several other elite troops have also been defeated by the Japanese army. The casualties were very heavy! Now the defense is changed to the 87th German Arms Division and they are resisting tenaciously there!"
"If that area is also captured by the Japanese army, then the other city gates will also suffer large-scale attacks by the Japanese army. By then, I am afraid the situation will become even more uncontrollable!"
"So I called everyone here today to discuss what you think?"
"Since we are all here, let's find a way to survive for the time being, and also provide some protection mechanisms for the refugees and citizens in these cities!"
"They are all innocent people! They are all unarmed civilians and should not be harmed by the war!"
"Actually, I never thought that the ambitions of those Japanese troops were so great. They really came all the way here with overwhelming force. It was completely beyond my expectation!"
"What they did not only made it impossible for us to continue our business here, but also brought about the horrific disaster of war. They are really a terrible group of people!"
After everyone gathered in the living room,
Rabe also took a sip of coffee to warm his body, and then he continued to speak with a heavy heart.
"That's right! These Japanese soldiers really have no humanity at all!"
"I have also seen with my own eyes how many wounded soldiers died under their artillery bombardment, as well as air raids and bombings. Recently, the air raids and bombings of Japanese aircraft groups have become more and more crazy and frequent!"
"Even my Jinling Women's College dares to bomb the surrounding areas. It's really terrifying!"
"So we must find ways to help more people survive this terrible war!"
"Fortunately, our country is still strong and can prevent these Japanese troops from killing and harming us at will, so we can still follow the original practice and establish a Red Cross and a safe zone.
Protect more refugees and civilians!”
"However, there are certain limits to the safe areas we can establish, especially for healing medicines and food. These require a lot of money to purchase, and we must have channels to purchase them!"
“I feel that there are many things that are beyond our capabilities!”
"If it were a time when there was no war, these things would be easy to handle as long as you had money!"
"So I am also worried about how we should deal with the food and clothing problems of the increasing number of refugees and civilians, the problem of medical treatment, the problem of accommodation, the problem of epidemic prevention, and various other problems once the city gate is breached by the Japanese army.
All kinds of problems that we might not have anticipated!”
After Rabe finished speaking, Minnie Vautrin also spoke.
She expressed all her inner worries.
"We can only try to find ways to deal with them. If we take one step at a time, we can save one more person, so we can save one more person!"
"If a country is weak, it will be affected by the war. If they are as strong as our country, will these damn Japanese troops still dare to attack so arrogantly?"
"Even if you dare, you can beat them away!"
"Hey! Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. We can only do our best!"
Maggie sighed deeply.
The other foreigners also had complicated emotions and were discussing.
As for Rabe, he was also a little impatient, listening and thinking about what he should do next.
And as he thought about it, his mind also drifted to missing his wife Daura and children.
Rabe has lived here for twenty-six years, and this is the first time he misses his wife so much.
"Dora, are you back in the country now?"
"How's life going?"
In his heart, he muttered longingly.
And while these foreigners were discussing how to establish their safe zone next, treat and help more refugees, civilians, and wounded soldiers, Rabe's mind also drifted to the distance, and he was temporarily distracted.
.
at the same time,
At this time,
He Feiyang, who was patrolling with his troops, getting familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital, and preparing for the next street battle, accidentally discovered the women in "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling".
