When the time came on May 30, all the peripheral battles in Nanjing were over, and the armored group army came under the ancient mottled and war-torn city walls.

Intelligence from all sources showed that there were less than 10,000 Japanese invaders in the city.

Xiao Jiang was not in a hurry to attack the city, but was making the most perfect preparations.

In the headquarters under Yuhuatai, Jiang Dong and Xiao Jiang were studying the map of Nanjing.

Jin Dayin hurriedly walked into the headquarters, saluted the two men and said:

"Japanese expatriates were found in the three directions of north, south and east. They came out of the city in groups and wanted to surrender to our army!"

"The soldiers have not taken any action for the time being. Commander, what are your orders?"

Xiao Jiang looked at Jiang Dong with a questioning look in his eyes.

Jiangdong continued to bury his head in the map and said without any care:

"You are the battle commander, you have to decide what to do."

Xiao Jiang raised his head, hesitated for ten seconds and then said to Jin Dayin:

"If you don't accept surrender, whether they are refugees or Japanese soldiers, I will blow them all back!"

Seeing that Jiang Dong had no other opinions, Jin Dayin saluted again and turned around to convey the order.

Nanjing has been surrounded by the Armored Group Army, but the only place left in Jiangdong is the Xiaguan Pier.

After a little thought, Xiao Jiang guessed Jiang Dong's intention, so he issued an order not to accept surrender.

Nanjing is the second largest city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the former capital of the Nationalist Government.

After the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, the surrounding people gradually returned.

In the past five years, the puppet government has been responsible for people's livelihood work in the Nanjing area.

Apart from being unable to hold their heads high as a human being, the lives of ordinary people are quite stable.

The city's population soon exceeded 1.5 million.

Nearly 200,000 of them are Japanese expatriates.

These Japanese came to Nanjing from Japan with various fantasies.

Now that Japan has been defeated, the overseas Chinese are desperate and want to surrender to the Armored Group Army.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Armored Group Army at the gate of the city used tank guns to blast back the surrendered Japanese nationals who came out of the city.

A large number of corpses dripping with blood were left outside the city wall.

The Japanese expatriates felt the coldness of the Chinese soldiers and the desire of this army to pay for their debts with blood.

Many overseas Chinese know what the Japanese army did in China.

Their hearts were filled with fear, fearing that after the city was broken, the Chinese soldiers would retaliate in the same way as they did.

Life is precious, no one wants to meet death, and many expats still think they are innocent.

Under the threat of an army siege and driven by their survival instinct, many expats began to flee toward the only Xiaguan Pier that was not surrounded.

The Chinese people in the city closed their doors and nervously waited for the final outcome.

Japanese expats filled all the streets, dragging their families and families with them, and rushed to Xianguan Wharf in panic and embarrassment.

The escape route was exactly the same as the choice taken by the people of Nanjing five years ago.

After hundreds of thousands of people ran to Xiaguan, they discovered that there was no ferry at the pier. Small Chinese warships rumbled over from upstream.

The crowd has long lost the ability to think rationally and has become restless.

Crowding and trampling on each other, the small Xiaguan Pier was soon filled with the smell of blood.

The people on the outermost layer were squeezed into the Yangtze River, and the sound of plops falling into the water and the cries for help were heard endlessly.

Once the chaos begins, it gets out of hand.

Neither the warships on the river nor the tanks on land of the Sixth Corps opened fire. They stopped one kilometer away and quietly watched the chaotic scene.

The panic among the expats also shook the morale of the Japanese soldiers in the city.

Thousands of lightly and seriously injured people committed suicide in hospitals, and female doctors and nurses ended their lives either voluntarily or forcibly.

Under the threat of death, it was difficult for military orders to work, and some Japanese soldiers became more indulgent and unscrupulous.

They randomly smashed shops in the city and insulted women.

The puppet army was responsible for public security in Nanjing, and the indulgent behavior of the Japanese soldiers made many people dissatisfied.

At the beginning, they would respectfully send the Japanese uncle back to the military camp.

However, as the number of security cases increased, and thinking of the current situation of the Japanese and Chinese dispatched troops, many puppet soldiers gradually became bolder.

The lucky ones were severely beaten and sent back to the military camp, while the unlucky ones had their necks broken and thrown into the sewer.

The conflict between the puppet army and the Japanese army continues to intensify, and the critical point that Xiao Jiang and Jiang Dong are waiting for will soon be reached.

Shanghai.

A total of three Marine Divisions landed before and after. With the support of Navy naval guns and Air Force fighter planes, the Marine Divisions and the 3rd Army quickly broke into the city.

The 16th Division, the 17th Division, the 22nd Division and other units of the Thirteenth Army were all wiped out one after another!

The Chinese soldiers stepped on the blood of the enemy and, with the support of three-dimensional firepower, were about to regain the entire Shanghai.

Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have already announced that they will give up the privileges obtained through unequal treaties, so there will be no concessions after the liberation of Shanghai.

This metropolis in the Far East will be completely in the hands of the Chinese.

On the afternoon of May 30, Commander Susumu Fujita of Japan’s Thirteenth Army sent a farewell telegram to Commander Shunroku Hata of the Expeditionary Force.

As the sound of gunfire got closer and closer, Fujita took off his military uniform and put on a samurai uniform.

His chief of staff went to the front line to command the troops, and the two said a simple goodbye.

Fujita calmly poured sake on the sharp Lieutenant General's command knife, and then carefully wiped the surface of the knife with a white rag.

His movements are so slow and procrastinating!

"kill!!!"

The cries of killing from the Chinese soldiers could be heard from afar, and the sounds of Japanese guns and artillery became increasingly sparse.

"Is this the final moment?"

Lieutenant General Fujita said to himself. He raised his eyes and looked around the headquarters, his eyes full of reluctance.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of semi-automatic rifles is getting closer and closer, and Chinese soldiers are about to rush into the building.

No longer able to hesitate, Fujita gritted his teeth and held the command knife behind his back with both hands.

The moment the Chinese soldiers kicked open the door, Fujita thrust his sword into his stomach, howling low, and pulled it from side to side, creating a huge gash.

The Marine Division soldiers who rushed in were obviously stunned for a moment.

They thought there were no kiddos in this building, but they didn't expect that there was a guy cutting his own belly open.

The soldiers quickly realized that the one who had the courage to cut open his stomach must be a high-ranking Japanese official.

Fujita's head was hammered to the ground, and his body was still twitching one after another.

Blood mixed with filth rippled beneath his body, and a disgusting smell suddenly filled the air.

A soldier who looked like a squad leader covered his nose and walked over to Fujita's convulsing body. He raised his foot and kicked the body over. The gap in his stomach appeared in front of him.

Enduring the unpleasant smell, the squad leader reached out and pulled out the well-made command knife from the corpse.

"Well..."

Fujita had not yet completely breathed his last, and he let out a painful groan the moment the saber left his body.

A few soldiers ignored the corpses on the ground and climbed to the highest point of the Thirteenth Army headquarters building together with the brothers who rushed up from behind.

They planted the blood-red flag of the Sixth Corps at the highest point.

All the soldiers outside the headquarters saw the fiercely flying military flags, and the cheers were as thick and continuous as the waves.

The common people hiding everywhere also saw the military flag like the rising sun.

After hugging my family, I joined the sea of ​​cheers.

Shanghai,
Chapter completed!
