On December 13, 1937, Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, fell.
After the Japanese army entered the city, they adopted medieval barbaric methods and allowed their soldiers to massacre the city.
Innocent citizens and captured soldiers were massacred collectively, and dozens of people died tragically.
Nanjing is almost empty.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked and condemned Japan's bestiality.
However, these condemnations were as ineffective as scratching an itch.
From the Marco Polo Bridge Incident to the fall of Nanjing, in only half a year, half of China had been occupied by Japan, and all compatriots in Northeast China, North China, and Southern Jiangsu had become subjugated slaves.
In the capital of Jiangdong Province, people were panicked.
Rumors of the Nanjing Massacre were flying everywhere like wings.
Photos leaked by military reporters showed that the Japanese invaders actually held a killing competition and took pleasure in chopping off the heads of Chinese people.
It was so cruel and barbaric. , outrageous.
Emotions of fear, despair, loss, and sadness spread everywhere.
The Jiangdong soldiers were all finished fighting, including the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing.
Twenty thousand young people came out of Jiangdong Province one after another, but none of them came back.
However, all the officers were back in full force.
Chen Shou and Xue Bin were both bandits and could sneak away faster than anyone else.
Chen Qilin was a serious revolutionary soldier.
Seeing that the position could no longer be defended, he planned to Cheng Ren raised his gun, and a cannonball exploded, seriously injuring him.
The guards carried him out of the position, and all the soldiers who held the position died.
Chen Qilin was seriously injured and is still lying on the hospital bed.
Chen Shou and Xue Bin silently saw Jiangdong's elders drinking and cursing people all day long.
They scolded Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi.
The entire Nanjing defense battle deployment and command was a mess, with hundreds of thousands of troops.
Not many people actually died in battle.
Most of them died from being trampled on each other during the rout, or were massacred after being captured.
In the past few months, Chen Zikun has been busy moving around, transferring equipment, personnel and materials from the Beitai factory, contacting the Soviet Volunteer Air Force, holding many positions, shuttling between Wuhan and Jiangdong.
The construction of the Chinese Air Force is extremely difficult.
Chen Zikun has always suggested importing fighter jets on a large scale to build a strong air force.
However, as chairman of the Aviation Committee, he is just a decoration.
The aviation decisions are all made by Mrs.
Chiang Meiling, who is also the Secretary-General of the Aviation Committee.
Deeply influenced by her husband, she believed that the possibility of a large-scale war between China and Japan in the near future was very low, so she deposited the money for the aircraft purchase in a Hong Kong bank to earn interest.
The money generated a small amount of money, but the Air Force aircraft were in vain.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the central government believed that war was inevitable, so it urgently purchased fighter jets from the United States and paid for them immediately.
However, the U.S. government offered not to cover transportation and asked the Chinese to come and pick up the fighter jets themselves.
China does not have ocean-going cargo ships at all.
Even if it did, it would not be able to pass the Japanese naval blockade, so it could only let it go.
Chen Zikun only had one hateful comment on this: "When women run the house, the walls fall and the house collapses."
In August last year, after China and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression treaty, the Soviet Air Force came to China one after another to assist in the war and provided China with a large number of aircraft and aviation equipment.
In just a few months, 232 aircraft were sold, including fighters and bombers. , on the other hand, Europe and the United States ordered more than 300 aircraft, but only 85 arrived, of which 13 were not installed.
Chairman Chiang had always been anti-Soviet and pro-British and American, but at the critical moment, it was the Soviet Union that came to the rescue.
Britain and the United States, however, had an ambiguous attitude and did not dare to provoke Japan.
Of course, no one mentioned this matter, so as not to hurt the self-esteem of the committee members.
The construction of the Air Force was imminent.
Chen Zikun changed the Central Aviation School into the Air Force Officer School and added the Air Force Staff School, Infantry School, Communications and Mechanical Schools to train Air Force talents on a large scale.

However, there was a severe shortage of materials and personnel, and the things were complicated.
He was not good at it.
Processing the copywriting made me feel overwhelmed all of a sudden.
Fortunately, I can often fly back to my hometown to change my mind.
Now the skies over China have become the territory of Japanese aircraft.
It is very unsafe to fly on transport planes.
Chen Zikun personally flies a Su-style I-16 fighter when traveling to various places.
When he encounters Japanese bombers without fighter escort, , and you can even knock two of them down.
After returning to the provincial capital, I went straight to the provincial government to discuss the defense of Jiangdong with Yan Su.
Yan Su said that I was a civil servant now and had to talk to Chen Shou about the war.
Chen Zikun and Yan Su walked to the door of Chen Shou's house.
They heard Chen Shou and Xue Bin scolding Tang Shengzhi that he deserved to die.
They said that anyone who dared to cross the river and escape would be shot on the spot.
However, they secretly prepared a small steamer.
When the Japanese army When the attack started, all the officials ran away.
This battle in Nanjing was really a useless one.
Yan Su coughed, and the room immediately fell silent.
Chen Zikun walked in, and the two of them stood up at attention: "Hello, Director Chen."
Chen Zikun was wearing a black cloak and looked at the two of them up and down, making their hair stand on end.
"Commander, brothers have tried their best," Chen Shou lowered his head and said.
"I don't blame you.
The fault lies with the base camp, the fault with the committee, and the fault with Tang Shengzhi.
His command mistakes have affected innocent people.
Nanjing has been lost and Jiangdong is in danger.
I want to hear what you two think."
Chen Zikun took off his cloak and sat down.
At the table.
Chen Shoudao: "The soldiers in Jiangdong have been exhausted.
Now there are only security groups and policemen from various places, as well as cadets from the army school.
It is too late to recruit temporarily.
With these soldiers, there is no way to fight against little Japan."
Xue Bin also shook his head: "The tax police corps is the most elite soldier in the country.
We are just on a par with the Japanese.
If we let the security corps and police go into battle, wouldn't that be a recipe for death?"
Chen Zikun asked Yan Su: "What do you think?"
Yan Su smiled bitterly: "Even if we fight, we still have no weapons.
All the heavy equipment has been left in Nanjing.
The Battle of Songhu has consumed all our family resources.
Now there are only a few thousand old rifles and models left in the arsenal.
The calibers were mixed, there were no bullets, and there were no cannons.
It was difficult for an army with only light weapons to compete head-on with the Japanese
.
"
Chen Zikun was silent for a long time and said: "If you retreat without fighting, how can you explain to the people that Han Fuju of Shandong abandoned Jinan and was questioned by the commission and shot in Hankou?
Who of you wants to be the next Han Fuju?"

Everyone said nothing, just lowered their heads and smoked.
Chen Shoudao: "Fighting positional warfare with little Japan is not our strong point.
Knocking eggs on rocks is not smart, it's stupid."
Chen Zikun thought that the Jiangdong Army was originally composed of bandits and was good at fighting guerrillas.
It was better to use guerrilla warfare to deal with the Japanese army.
Whether they could hold Jiangdong was another matter.
At least they could fulfill their duties as a soldier.
As soon as I mentioned this idea, everyone thought it was a good idea.
During the discussion, Liu Youjin, Secretary-General of the Provincial Government, came: "Chairman Yan, the British Charge d'Affaires has something to do with you."
There is a British Diplomatic Agency in the provincial capital, and the Charge d'Affaires is none other than John Walker, the second secretary of the Consulate General in Nanjing.
He was a rookie in the diplomatic field, but now he is a well-rounded diplomatic veteran.
Yan Su said: "Let him wait, we are discussing the strategy against the enemy."
Liu Youjin said: "He has already arrived at the door."
John Walker, wearing a three-piece navy blue woolen suit with a coat on his arm, walked in with a worried look on his face.
He was slightly surprised to see Chen Zikun there and said, "It's great that General Chen is here.
I I want to know how your army is preparing to deal with the current situation.”
Chen Zikun said: "How our army resists the Japanese army, do we have to report it to the British Empire?"
Walker said: "You have misunderstood me.
I just want to know whether your behavior will offend the Japanese army and lead to crazy revenge.
I don't think everyone is willing to see the tragedy of Nanjing repeated in Jiangdong.
Besides, the British are in Jiangdong."
There are also many industries and expatriates, and I don’t want them to be affected.”
Chen Zikun laughed angrily: "It's ridiculous.
When the Japanese come to attack us, we have to worry about not offending them.
Is this how you British deal with the invaders?
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you have been playing the role of Japan in Europe.
Role."
Walker was so bored that he had no choice but to leave in anger.
Yan Su said: "Britain and the United States are watching the fire from across the bank.
Aren't they afraid that their interests in China will be damaged?"
Chen Zikun said: "Britain and the United States are no longer what they were 40 years ago, and Japan is no longer the small team that Britain used to have.
They have become more mature and have sharp teeth and claws.
Besides, Britain and the United States are trying to encourage Japan and the Soviet Union to merge. , while guarding against the re-emergence of Germany.
After all, Europe is their foundation.
If China is a pot of porridge, they will not ask questions as long as they do not break up. " Chen Zikun has the deepest understanding of the international situation.
Yan Su and others are not as good as him.
Hearing him say this, one can't help but look disappointed: "What can we do if Britain and the United States do not intervene?"
Chen Zikun said: "If there is no butcher Zhang, we will just eat pigs with hair on them.
Britain and the United States are not good people who eat fast and chant Buddha's name.
Why should they help us not to talk about them?
The Soviet Union sells planes and sends air fleets.
Isn't it because they are afraid of little Japan conquering China?"
To free up our hands to deal with them, last month Sun Ke went to Moscow for negotiations, but Stalin was reluctant to send troops.
He just wanted us to waste the Japanese troops first, and they would reap the benefits. " Chen Shou said bitterly: "None of these foreigners sincerely helps us.
This is called raising tigers.

Sooner or later, Japan will get bigger and bigger, and it will definitely bite them."
Chen Zikun said: "In international politics, there are only interests.
China has nothing to offer, so it can only admit that it is unlucky."
Suddenly, a shrill air-raid siren sounded, and everyone hurried out of the house to take shelter.
There was a temporary air-raid shelter dug in the yard.
After hiding in it for five minutes, the alarm was lifted.
It turned out that two Japanese reconnaissance planes were flying over the provincial capital.
Erli from the Jiangdong Army Kang's anti-aircraft guns were all lost, and the Japanese aircraft could only be allowed to enter uninhabited territory.
After the plane left, everyone came out of the air-raid shelter.
Chen Zikun pondered for a moment and said: "Convene a military meeting immediately and bring Chen Qilin here.
I want to defend the Huaijiang River and the provincial capital."
An hour later, a meeting was held at the provincial government.
Old subordinates gathered together.
Although Chen Zikun no longer held local positions, he was still the master of Jiangdong Province.
He sat at the top without ceremony and began to make deployments.
"Yan Su, transport all the gold, silver, foreign exchange and banknotes stored in the provincial capital's treasury to Wuhan."
"Zeng Jiao, form a water ranger immediately.
Those who are not good at water are not required."
"Chen Shou, organize the security groups from all over the country, send guns, bullets, and oceans."
"Xue Bin, take people to send everyone's family members to Beitai."
Chen Qilin in the wheelchair never heard his name, and said anxiously: "What about me, what do I do?"
Chen Zikun came over, pressed Chen Qilin's shoulder and said earnestly: "Go to Wuhan and pull up our Jiangdong Model Teachers again
