    June 25, 1935, Nanjing, Purple Mountain

    Amidst the roaring and tsunami-like shouts, the heroic Red Army soldiers surged through the enemy lines like a tide. The blue sky and white sun flags that had been blackened by gunpowder smoke fell one after another, while the bright red flags with sickle and hammer patterns were drawn on each side.  The top of the mountain rises in the wind.

    The Battle of Nanjing had just begun less than forty-eight hours ago, and by now there was no suspense at all.

    "At present, the Kuomintang army's Purple Mountain defense line has completely collapsed, and the two strongholds of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Ming Xiaoling Tomb have been surrendered without a fight. However, at the Purple Mountain Observatory, there are still about one regiment of stubborn enemies persisting in resistance, and our army cannot  Destroy without using heavy weapons

    In addition, there are still a small number of stragglers from the Kuomintang army scattered in the countryside and suburbs of the city to resist.  Comrade Su Yu plans to rest in Zijin Mountain for two to three days. After completely clearing out the remaining enemies, he will launch a general attack on the city of Nanjing Prior to this, the cruiser Pinghai had already bombarded the Xiaguan Pier in Nanjing to intercept the remaining enemies in the city.  Escape the retreat north of the Yangtze River and reduce the pressure for the next cross-river battle"

    Set up in the headquarters of the Fifth Red Front Army in Pudong, Shanghai, Fang Zhimin was briefing the travelers on the latest battle report while moving several small red flags and small blue flags one by one on the latest Nanjing battlefield sand table printed with a 3D printer.  .

    On this sand table, the entire land south of the Yangtze River is already red, and the area east of the canal in the north of the Yangtze River has also been planted with red flags.

    In addition, in places not shown on the battlefield sandbox, the flags of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army are also advancing at an alarming rate.

    ¡ª¡ªWhen the calendar of this year turns to June.  The "Shanghai siege network" planned by the imperialist powers is already on the verge of collapse.

    Although I extremely despise the Japanese Empire as an ¡°inferior nation in China¡±.  So far, there is still no connection between the nuclear explosion catastrophe that occurred on our own land and the "secret weapon" claimed by the Shanghai Red Army. However, the heavy blow this caused to the Japanese invaders has been gradually revealed on the battlefield-it has been down for eight lifetimes.  The unlucky "South China Expeditionary Force" first suffered a blow in the Taihu battlefield, and then stepped into the meat grinder of Chongming Island, knocking out three entire divisions and draining them of their blood.  Although it still maintains an army structure.  However, less than half of the division's strength was left, all technical equipment such as heavy artillery, tanks, and aircraft were lost, and even ammunition was depleted.

    Faced with this predicament, the Southern China Expeditionary Forces, who were unwilling to admit defeat, first tried to drag people into the water. They used the unique "underlying skills" of the Japanese army to request "combat guidance" from the General Staff Headquarters - a vague way of asking for help.  It is a pity that the Imperial Army Staff Headquarters in Tokyo has been reduced to ruins by nuclear explosions and fires, and the staff officers are either dead or injured.  External communications were completely interrupted, and no one paid any attention to the Southern China Expeditionary Forces even if they shouted at them.

    In this ominous silence, the Japanese Fifth Division, which was finally trapped on Chongming Island, ran out of ammunition and food. The division commander, Lieutenant General Kuniaki Oiso, committed suicide after "burning" the military flag. The remaining Japanese troops launched  He made a suicidal charge and immediately "turned into a god" at full speed.

    Two more days passed.  Contact was finally restored, but the military was now helpless about the plight of the Jiangnan battlefield - Tokyo in the east of Japan and Kyushu in the west had become a purgatory, and military production, material transportation, military service and other matters were all integrated into one.  It was a mess, including the Prime Minister, the Chief of Staff, and the Deputy Chief of Staff, all powerful officials and dignitaries.  Everyone was either dead or seriously injured, and the upper-level army organization had been completely paralyzed.  It is impossible to command the various troops and horses, and it is no longer possible to coordinate and direct the war on mainland China.

    Even among the survivors of the General Staff Headquarters, there are still a few madmen who want to fight the war of aggression against China to the end, but standing in such a scorched earth is a useless place for heroes - adding more troops to the battlefield in mainland China?  Where are the soldiers?  Where is the ammunition?  Where is the logistics?  Where is the transport fleet?  Even if these things could be collected, why would they be thrown across the sea instead of being used for local disaster relief in Tokyo?

    Therefore, after listening to the bad news that the "China Communist Army" was advancing along the Yangtze River, and waiting extremely anxiously for a long time, the "South China Expedition Army" headquarters in Nanjing received such a heartbreaking letter.  Half reply: "Since the great eruption of Mount Fuji, the counties in Kanto have become a purgatory, and the Emperor's Holy Majesty has also been disturbed. Regarding the predicament of the battlefield in the Yangtze River Basin, the military is unable to do anything for the time being. Not only has it nowhere to raise reinforcements, but also ammunition and supplies.  The supply cannot be maintained, and there is no fleet for transportation. The soldiers at the front are asked to find their own way out and try their best to mobilize food and supplies on the spot"

    By the same token, the Navy Ministry's request for the "South China Dispatch Force" to ask the navy to provide firepower assistance was unceremoniously rejected by the Navy Ministry.

    Therefore, the "South China Expedition Army" headquarters was completely desperate and had no choice but to ignore Wang Jingwei.After repeated pleas, nearly four months after the "bloodless opening of Nanjing", on June 5, 1935, he sadly ordered to abandon his stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River, cross the river again from Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Wuhu and other places to the north, and retreat to Xuzhou and Lianyungang.  , carry out a substantial comprehensive strategic contraction.  Although the unlucky Wang Jingwei saw that the situation was not good, he was already on the pirate ship and could not get off, so he had to go to the dark side and lead a group of party members to follow the Japanese army to withdraw from Nanjing and go to the Japanese-occupied areas in the north to form a "government in exile".

    In this way, when the Red Fifth Front Army in Shanghai ended the bloody battle on Chongming Island and began to launch a large-scale counterattack, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the enemy ahead had shown a tendency to collapse - the remaining Japanese troops had retreated, and the abandoned Nanjing Kuomintang troops  Then they fell into internal collapse: they all knew that when the four-nation coalition forces of Britain, France, the United States, and Japan took action together and were completely unable to defeat the Red Bandits, staying in Jiangnan was simply waiting to die.

    Therefore, some die-hard traitors in the Kuomintang¡¯s reactionary army chose to follow their Japanese masters across the Yangtze River and head north.  Another group of die-hard elements betrayed He Yingqin and Wang Jingwei again, and went up the Yangtze River to Wuhan to defect to their old master Chiang Kai-shek, who seemed to have more prospects.  There are also some officers and soldiers who have patriotic sentiments in their hearts. On the one hand, they are shocked by the Red Army's majesty in defeating the coalition of imperialist powers around the world. On the other hand, they are fascinated by the hope of China's rise.  Therefore, under the infiltration and work of the underground party, they simply defected and raised a red flag.

    all in all.  When Su Yu led the 13th Red Army Corps and Hu Tiantao led the 11th Red Army Corps, with a total of about 60,000 troops, they launched a counterattack on the western front from Jiangyin and Yixing. The Kuomintang troops on the opposite side of the position fled and surrendered, and they were almost unable to organize  To initiate any effective resistance - from Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang, Liyang, all the way to Lishui and Zhenjiang.  The entire counterattack can only be described as overwhelming and overwhelming along the way.

    It was only when the Thirteenth Red Army Corps was advancing on the outskirts of Nanjing that they encountered fierce resistance from the die-hard Kuomintang troops.  However, as the backbone of the Nanjing defense force, at least half of the officers and soldiers of the 87th and 88th Divisions of the Kuomintang Central Army defected on the battlefield, the crucial Yuhuatai defense line collapsed instantly, and the stubborn enemies defending the Zijinshan position were also trapped in a pincer attack.  It collapsed after twenty-four hours.

    At this moment.  The capital Nanjing was like a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes, completely exposed to the Red Army.

    "I think the current situation is that the troops are very quick, so we should let Comrade Su Yu work harder and work harder, and take advantage of the enemy's chaos. Let's launch an attack on Nanjing city immediately! The problem of the rear route is completely  Don¡¯t worry! Comrade Mao Zetan¡¯s 12th Red Army Corps has already caught up.¡±

    After Wang Qiu, Lin Shenhe and other representatives of the People's Liberation Army discussed for a while, they turned to Fang Zhimin and gave their suggestions, "Although the 12th Red Army Corps suffered heavy losses on Chongming Island, there are currently less than 10,000 soldiers left to fight.  , but it should be enough to clear out the remaining enemies behind the front!

    It is a pity that the capture of Nanjing has political significance.  I'm afraid it's not as big as originally imagined - Wang Jingwei had fled to Peiping the day before yesterday, announced that Peiping would be renamed Beijing, and was preparing to establish the Beijing National Government.  Therefore, the confrontation between the two Nationalist governments and the puppet Manchukuo government and the Soviet government will probably continue in China for some time, and most diplomats from various countries will withdraw along with the opposition.

    Under such circumstances, the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army cannot wait until Nanjing has withdrawn before attacking in!  Because we need to find some useful Western journalists to witness the launch of the next nuclear bomb!  If we only rely on reports from Soviet journalists, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be convincing enough¡­¡±

    ¡ª¡ªIn fact, what none of the time travelers and Red Army leaders expected was that the foreigners who did not choose to retreat at this time, but stayed in Nanjing waiting to contact them, were much more "big names" than imagined.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù

    Nanjing, Louzi Lane, Sanpailou, German Embassy

    A black and red "swastika flag" was flying high on the flagpole in front of the embassy. Coupled with the white soldiers standing on both sides of the gate with big wolfdogs and loaded guns, the building stood in chaos.  The Nanjing city seems particularly peaceful.

    General Counselor of the German Military Mission in China, former Commander-in-Chief of the German Wehrmacht, and known as the "Father of the Wehrmacht", General Hans von Seeckt, was standing in front of a window on the third floor of the embassy, ??listening to  Listening to the roaring sound of artillery in the distance, overlooking the chaotic traffic and crowds on the street.

    At this moment, the city of Nanjing, which had been abandoned by the Japanese and pro-Japanese factions at the same time, was like an ant nest that had been flooded, as if everyone was busy rushing out.  The streets were filled with trucks filled with luggage, moving all kinds of furniture accumulated by the rich and powerful people in the city.  And manyCitizens who were afraid of the Red Army also used sticks to carry their bundles and rolls, and fled out of the city with their children and the elderly in tow.

    Screams, shouts, cries and other noisy sounds intertwined together to create a doomsday atmosphere of despair and despair.

    Admiral Sekter, who had sharp eyes, even saw a truck parked outside a certain government department compound. There was a terrible chaos when loading luggage, because every servant wanted to get his master's luggage first.  The luggage was stowed so that they began to struggle with each other.  There were also reckless thieves who tried to take advantage of the chaos and were shot to death by guards on the spot, with their brains and blood splattered on the telephone poles.

    Of course, in the face of such chaotic scenes, there are also people who are using legal means to make a fortune - the rent of each carriage in the city has risen to ten silver dollars, and if there is no personal connection for the car, no matter how much money you get,  Can't rent either.  In addition, rickshaws, handcarts, suitcases, rattan baskets, and even poles were sold for astonishingly high prices.  Even the poorest camphor wood box can be sold for two silver dollars.

    In addition, there were broken troops escaping from various city defense fronts.  It was also shocking to see: most of the soldiers had lost their military uniforms and were wearing tattered civilian clothes, carrying luggage rolls, and carrying a rusty antique musket on their arm, which seemed to be a product of the last century Oh my God.  !  Where did He Yingqin collect these vulnerable troops and drive them to the fortifications on the outskirts of the city to fight?

    While these war refugees and soldiers in the suburbs were jostling each other in the streets, scrambling for their lives, a Red Army plane with a hammer and sickle pattern painted on its wings suddenly flew over and roared over their heads.  .  Although it didn't drop bombs or machine-gun pedestrians.  But just the scattered leaflets like snowflakes are enough to trigger a new round of terrible commotion among these people who have long been reduced to frightened birds.

    Admiral Sekter raised the telescope hanging on his chest and stared at the aircraft he had never seen before for a long time until it disappeared from the end of the field of vision.

    "Good afternoon, Your Excellency General. I may take the liberty of asking, what were you looking at just now?"

    The German Minister to China, Traudemann, suddenly opened the door and walked in.  He greeted Admiral Sect, who was standing alone in front of the window.

    "I am watching the destruction of a country and sighing at the end of my mission. Mr. Minister." Admiral Sekter replied succinctly.

    ¡ª¡ªSince the first batch of German military advisers arrived in Nanjing in 1928, the German military delegation in China has been working hard to help the Chiang Kai-shek regime build a German-style, Asian version of the modern army, the so-called "German Arms Brigade"  and "German Mechanic".  At the same time, a basic set of defense industries has been initially established in China's Yangtze River Basin, so that China's military strength can reach the "minimum standard" to resist Japanese aggression.

    General Seeckt was the oldest, most prestigious, and most knowledgeable of the German advisers hired by Chiang Kai-shek, and he was also the most trusted and reused adviser by Chiang Kai-shek.  Chiang Kai-shek not only granted Sekt the position of general counsel.  He was allowed to conduct "conversations with various Chinese agencies" on behalf of the Chairman in the "Presidential Residence of the Chairman" in the name of "the client of the Chairman", and also stipulated that whenever Sekter held a meeting in the official residence of the Chairman, the General Staff Headquarters  , the director-general of training, the minister or deputy minister of the military affairs department, the directors of each department of the military commission, and the directors of ordnance industry and military supplies should all attend the meeting.

    also.  Chiang Kai-shek also specially set up the "General Counsel's Office" in Nanjing, with General Seeckt's right-hand man Falkenhausen as the "Chief of General Counsel's Staff".  In the name of "Agent of the Chairman", he issued orders to various departments, just like the Supreme Emperor of the Nanjing National Government - every Tuesday and Friday at 10 am is the time for the National Government's military and political ministers and military academy officials to make appointments to meet with Sickert.  There was no time to wait, and all the pampered officials, big and small, were forced to line up in advance, which became a major sight in Nanjing at that time.

    In return for Chairman Chiang's attention and courtesy, Sekter submitted an "Army Reform Proposal" to Chiang Kai-shek, in which he proposed to the front line in terms of military training, officer training, weapons and equipment purchase, rectification of military institutions, and the construction of special forces.  The practices of several consultants were synthesized, supplemented and developed, and some methods were proposed to improve the cooperative relationship between Chinese officials and German consultants.  Chiang Kai-shek was full of praise after reading the proposal.

    The three major ideas he proposed for Chiang Kai-shek in founding the army influenced Chiang¡¯s life.  These three points are: 1. The army is the foundation of ruling power; 2. The power of the army lies in its excellent quality; 3. The combat potential of the army lies in the education and training of the officer corps - and Chiang Kai-shek has almost always done this.

    Next, at Sekter's suggestion, the Kuomintang formulated an "accurate logistics supply plan" based on the actual monthly needs of the army, based on which the necessary arms and related equipment were ordered from German companies to further strengthen  increased trade between China and Germany,Promoted the signing of the "Implementation Contract for the Transaction of Chinese Raw Materials and Products to German Industrial Products" between China and Germany - through this contract, on the one hand, it met the National Government's needs for German arms and industrial equipment, and on the other hand, it also solved the Nazi problem  Germany's military preparations for war require strategic raw materials such as tungsten sand.

    Generally speaking, no matter from any angle, they are much stronger than the German consultant sent by the Comintern to the Chinese Red Army, that is, Comrade Li De.  However, with the sudden rise of the Red Army in Shanghai, the split and collapse of the Nationalist Government, He Yingqin's defection to the enemy, and the "bloodless Kaicheng of Nanjing" by the Japanese Imperial Army all these "Eastern Causes" that the German military delegation fought for, also  It all came to an abrupt end.

    ¡ª¡ªAfter Wang Jingwei came to power to form the cabinet, his first task was to fire the German military advisers to make room for the Japanese advisers

    As a result, the Office of the General Counsel was disbanded, and General Seeckt took the German advisory officers and took refuge in the German Legation. While sending telegrams to request domestic instructions for the next step, he was planning a way back to China. Unfortunately, Shanghai at this time  It became a war zone, and the passenger routes to overseas countries along the Yangtze River were cut off by the war, making it impossible to buy tickets to sea.  The Jinpu Railway to the north is also cut off.  There was still a shuttle boat heading west to Wuhan, but General Seeckt didn't know how to face Chiang Kai-shek there Therefore, these "German unemployed" were stranded.

    ¡°¡­Your mission was already over when the Imperial Japanese Army entered the city back in February, wasn¡¯t it? General.¡±

    As Todman said this, he packed up several documents in his desk drawer and prepared to throw them into the stove for destruction - although Nazi Germany did not participate in the European and American coalition forces that interfered with the Chinese revolution and encircled and suppressed the Chinese Bolsheviks.  But it¡¯s unclear what attitude the Chinese Red Army will have towards their ¡°bourgeois enemies¡±especially after learning about the terrible fate of the consulates of the United States, Britain and France in Shanghai.

    Just in case, the German embassy, ??on the one hand, was not preparing to withdraw immediately from the capital that was about to fall in accordance with the domestic order of "tentative contact with the Chinese red elements". On the other hand, it was also racing against time to destroy various secret documents.  , to prevent possible leaks.

    "No, no, you got me wrong, Mr. Minister." General Sekter waved his hand, "Our direct mission in coming to the East is to help Mr. Chiang Kai-shek build a modern army.  and a matching defense industrial system. Fundamentally speaking, it is to enable China to resist Japan's military invasion. Now, although Mr. Chiang Kai-shek has been driven out of the capital, his mission to hire me to come to China is also  It was to thwart the Japanese Empire's attack, but it was achieved quite perfectly by his enemiesDon't you think this is ironic?"

    He curled his lips somewhat frivolously, "Although the Japanese army still occupies a large area of ??Chinese territory, I don't think that after losing the entire navy and even the capital Tokyo being covered in volcanic ash, the Japanese Empire still has the courage to  Let this war continue"
