Chapter 130: The bloody battle at Guanghua Gate (new book, please watch)
After recognizing Li Guoyao's identity, John Bellar's confidence was immediately shaken, because he knew that Li Guoyao was indeed the first Chinese general to publicly reveal that the Japanese army wanted to massacre the city, and it was said that he also got this news after he killed the Japanese prince. The authenticity is very high.
¡°And a real general like Li Guoyao came to explain this to him in person. It can also be seen that the Chinese military attaches great importance to this matter!
After thinking again and again, John Bellah immediately said: "General, do you know how many people are in the safe zone now? Can you guarantee that all these people will reach the area north of the Yangtze River safely?"
Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "I don't know how many people are here, but I promise to do my best to escort them to Jiangbei. In fact, you may also know that my people have been gathering the people and people in the city for the past two days. The defeated soldiers, at this time, there are hundreds of large and small ships at Xiaguan Wharf rushing to transport refugees all the time. If something really happens to these people, there is only one possibility. All my soldiers and I will be killed!"
Hearing Li Guoyao's words, John Bellah was very moved, and then said: "According to our statistics this morning, there are more than 40,000 refugees in the 13 refugee camps in the safe zone. This refugee camp has the largest number, with enough Fourteen thousand people. If you can ensure the safety of these people, I agree with you to send them outside the city!"
"Thank you, Mr. John. These refugees are my compatriots. As long as one of my men and I is alive, we will never allow the Japanese to harm them!" Li Guoyao said.
"I believe that a brave Chinese general will not joke with the lives of his own people!" John Bellah said.
"Thank you for your trust! But I implore you, if there are still Chinese people in need of help after the Chinese garrison evacuates Nanjing, I hope you and your friends can help them. I, Li Guoyao, will remember you. The Chinese government and The people will also remember you!" Li Guoyao said sincerely.
"Well done, General, the purpose of our safe zone committee's existence is to help these poor refugees!" John Bella said.
"Thank you! You will also be proud of everything you live in today!" After saying that, Li Guoyao turned around and left John Bella's office.
The moment he turned to leave, Li Guoyao couldn't help but think of the final outcome of this kind-hearted German businessman.
When the Japanese invaders began to attack Nanjing, John Bellah used his residence in Nanjing as one of the 25 international safety zones in the Nanjing Safety Zone to accommodate refugees, protecting more than 600 refugees. As the chairman of the Nanjing International Safety Zone, he and other international friends worked together with the International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone to save more than 250,000 Chinese lives in the less than 4 square kilometers of safety zone under their responsibility.
In February of the following year, Rabe left Nanjing. The International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone spoke highly of Rabe, and the Chinese National Government awarded Rabe the Three Color Jade Medal. In the same year, John Bellar returned to Germany and wrote to Hitler to submit a report on the Nanjing Massacre. However, since Germany and Japan were allies, the German authorities prohibited him from publishing what he saw and heard in Nanjing, so the report was not made public at the time. He was even arrested by the Gestapo.
After that, he lived in Germany until the end of World War II. However, after the war, Rabe was arrested by the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom because he was a member of the Nazi Party. In June 1946, he was denazified and released by the Allies after it was proven that he was not guilty. He lived in poverty.
In view of his achievements in Nanjing, the Nationalist Government decided to give John Bella a certain amount of money and food assistance every month until his death. After his death, his tombstone was moved from Berlin to Nanjing.
John Bellah's main achievement was not only to protect a large number of Chinese civilians during the Holocaust and to safeguard the truth and dignity of mankind, but more importantly, during this period, he wrote in the No. 1 courtyard of Xiaofenqiao where he rented Downloaded the famous "Rabe's Diary".
This work records more than 500 tragedies atrocities committed by the Japanese army, all of which were personally experienced by John Bellah. The time span is from September 1937 to February 1938. In addition to writing diaries, Rabe also saved more than 80 photos taken on site and gave detailed descriptions of these photos. It is recognized as the largest and most complete historical material on the Nanjing Massacre.
What is recorded in "Bella's Diary" is Rabe's personal experience and personal experience. It is very specific, detailed and true. No one can deny its credibility. Bella's account from a third-party perspective as a German citizen is one of the most powerful evidences proving the Nanjing Massacre. It is a bloody and tearful indictment of the Nanjing Massacre caused by the Japanese invaders and a powerful testimony to the crimes committed by Japanese imperialism.
As a German, he can??To achieve this level is indeed admirable and respectable.
But even so, in the face of the brutality of the bloody butchers of the Japanese army, more than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were still massacred. So even though Li Guoyao respected Bella very much, he decided to take all the refugees away. Only in this way could Li Guoyao feel at ease.
Fortunately, in this life, due to Li Guoyao's advance warning and the attention of the Nationalist government, hundreds of thousands of people and refugees evacuated Nanjing a week before the war began. Now there are only four to five million people left in the city. people.
¡°Coupled with the withdrawal of Li Guoyao and others in the past few days, there are very few people and refugees left in the city.
Take the Jinling University refugee camp where John Bellar is located. Historical records indicate that at least 40,000 to 60,000 people gathered here at that time, but now there are only more than 10,000 people, a reduction of three-quarters.
With the consent of John Bellah, all the refugees immediately left the city and rushed to Xiaguan Pier after being inspected by the troops.
While the Independent Brigade was busy escorting the people out of the city, the fighting outside the city had reached a fever pitch!
The Japanese Ninth Division has been fiercely attacking the Guanghuamen position since yesterday afternoon. The battle has been going on for 24 hours, and both the offensive and defensive sides have suffered heavy casualties.
"Boomboomboom"
Artillery shells were exploding, rocks were flying everywhere, and a heavy machine gun hidden behind the battlements of the city wall was directly blown away by the Japs' cannon. Four soldiers, including the heavy machine gunner, deputy shooter, and ammunition hand, were killed.
In a trench behind the position, a major rushed down in a hurry and shouted to a major general: "Brigade, the little Japs are coming up!"
"Whoops, I saw it! Order Lao Chen's second battalion to go up and block me!" Yi Anhua, commander of the 259th Brigade, said loudly.
"Brigade, the 1st and 2nd companies of the 2nd Battalion have gone up just now, and now only the 3rd company is left. There are only more than 80 people in the 3rd company, so it's useless to go up there to control the ball!"
"What, do we still have that army that we can use now?"
"Only the guards from the brigade headquarters have formed the second company!"
"Then why are you still standing there? Order the Second Company to come up to me!" Yi Anhua shouted loudly.
"Tour Commander, the Second Company is here to protect you. If we are transferred, there will be no one around you!"
"Rolling ball, I don't need anyone to protect me, just give me a hard beating! If the soldiers are gone, the squad leader will be beaten, if the squad leader is gone, the platoon leader will be beaten, if the platoon leader is gone, the company and battalion commander will be beaten! They're all gone, I'll do it myself!"
"yes!"
Seeing the only remaining company around him rushing forward, Yi Anhua felt his heart twisting. Ever since the siege started yesterday, his troops had been advancing like this one company after another, and then they never retreated, and they never retreated again. It's impossible to take it down.
The Japanese army opposite them is Yoshizumi Ryosuke's 9th Division. As one of the only 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army, this division has extremely powerful fighter jets. After a bloody day yesterday, this division will be stunned by artillery fire. The front wall of the gate broke out and penetrated about 200 meters into the city, causing tremendous pressure on them.
Yi Anhua knew that if he didn't drive out these little devils today, he might not be able to survive tonight.
Thinking that behind him was the capital of China, the resting place of the founding fathers, and hundreds of thousands of unarmed Nanjing people, Yi Anhua could only reluctantly send the soldiers up one by one.
But this is the last unit in his hands. If there are no reinforcements, they may be completely wiped out.
