John Rabe has been in China for decades.
He has seen all kinds of people, but he has never seen someone like Chen Xian.
He was obviously wearing a Japanese military uniform, but he asked himself to save Chinese refugees.
In the Japanese army, military achievements are also emphasized.
If he captured the refugees and soldiers in the bell tower today, it would be a merit.
But he didn't, but instead told himself the location of the refugees.
Rabe couldn't figure it out.
After looking at the young officer in front of him and seeing that the soldiers behind him did not harass the civilians, after thinking about it, Rabe spoke: Come to my office.
Rabe.
George Rosen, the diplomat next to him, was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Rabe agree.
Rosen, I will explain to you later.
George Rosen is the official secretary of the German Embassy. Dr. Rosen was one of the first diplomats to risk his life to return from Shanghai to Nanjing during the Nanjing Massacre. However, he was blocked by the Japanese before landing. After returning to Nanjing on January 10, 1938, he consulted with the Japanese as a diplomat to ensure the safety of the lives of the people in the safe zone. Because Dr. Rosen was tough in his attitude, he was called an unpopular person by the Japanese.
In the early 1990s, Germany published the "Rossen Report to the German Foreign Ministry" preserved in the Potsdam Archives branch, which was called the Rossen Archives or the Rossen Report by researchers. It contains many diplomatic documents he sent back to Germany to record the atrocities of the Japanese invaders. For researchers in the Nanjing Massacre, these are precious materials.
George Rosen spread his hands and did not object, although Chen Xian didn't like foreigners at heart.
However, I still respect these friends who helped their national army.
Ask your soldiers to wait outside.
Rabe looked at the Japanese army behind Chen Xian following him and waved his hand to stop him.
Chen Xian nodded and waved to Instructor Li. After he came over, Chen Xian whispered in his ear: You guys are here to stay.
Instructor Li nodded, then took over Chen Xian's position and raised his hand behind him. Anyone who has served as a soldier understands this gesture, which is to prohibit moving forward.
Rabe made an invitation gesture and asked Chen Xian to go upstairs with him.
Chen Xian followed Rabe.
Several other international friends, such as Weiterin, George Rosen, Dr. Robert Wilson, and Jiang Shuyun, all followed Chen Xian.
These people walked behind Chen Xian, and Weiterin talked in English: Why is this Japanese looking for Rabe?
Dr. Robert Wilson said in a hatred: The Nassie Party and the Japanese are both in the same group, they are all so cruel.
Jiang Shuyun also said in English: Please help us protect the female students.
Chen Xian listened to their words and felt that they were extremely worried and said helplessly: Don’t worry, I have no intention of coming here.
The three people who were chatting were silent collectively.
They thought Chen Xian only knew German, but they didn't expect to speak English.
Soon, a few people arrived at Rabe's office and sat down one after another.
Chen Xian directly expressed his purpose and said: Mr. Rabe, this time I came to remind you that under the instigation of the Japanese Central China Front Army Matsui Ione, Asakamiya Hirohiko, Tani Shouo and others, a massacre will be carried out immediately.
His words were said in English to make sure everyone else could understand them.
As soon as these words came out, everyone here was surprised.
John Rabe even said: How is that possible?
The Geneva Convention provides for respect for humanitarian law.
Why are you so sure that the Japanese army will carry out a massacre?
Several people seemed to not trust what Chen Xian said. When the Japanese army captured Nanjing, they were indeed harmonious for a while.
But after time passed, the Japanese wolfish ambitions were also exposed.
During the Battle of Songlu, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. They originally shouted the slogan to occupy China for three months, but they paid a heavy price in the Battle of Songlu. After capturing the capital of Nanjing, they would retaliate wildly.
Not only Rabe and the others don’t believe it, but even many soldiers don’t believe that the Japanese army will do such a crazy thing.
In many movies and TV series, some keyboard warriors expressed confusion when they watched the surrender of the Chinese army, and also expressed why they did not fight the Japanese army.
In the absence of weapons and equipment and no one commands, desperately trying to deliver vegetables.
Like Instructor Li and Lu Jianxiong, you can raid with plans and plan to see how many people can be killed.
Why did Lu Jianxiong surrender in the end? It was because if he continued to fight, everyone would die.
Why did Instructor Li fight to the last person? Why didn’t they surrender?
Because they were the Central Army and had seen the cruelty of the Japanese, they would rather die than surrender.
The first thing that is involved in the failure of a battle is the defeated soldiers. Those who sacrificed their lives to their country still die with dignity, and the most miserable one is the prisoners of war.
At that time, Japan fought Chinese prisoners of war at will, and there was no humanitarianism.
Tang Guangpu, a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, once told the truth decades later.
Tang Guangpu, who was only 19 years old, was a participant in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, and was also a witness to the Nanjing Massacre. He was a servant in the third battalion of the National Army's Teaching Column at that time.
Although he was only 19 years old, he was already a veteran on the battlefield. He was used to life and death and never forgot about the Nanjing Massacre.
After receiving the order to retreat, everyone began to be in danger and everyone was trying to escape.
Tang Guangpu had no idea of the direction in his rush to escape, but just followed the abortion and walked forward blindly. On the way to escape, he met a veteran Tang Hecheng, who was older than him. Under his leadership, Tang Guangpu stumbled all the way.
In fact, it was not only soldiers who fled at that time, but also many people. The atrocities of the Japanese army were already well known. The fall of Nanjing and staying in Nanjing would definitely not have a good ending.
Therefore, there were many people on the road to escape, and the Japanese army added guard posts in many places, so few roads could jump out of Nanjing City, so there were stampedes on the crowded sections.
Faced with such a large-scale escape, some aspiring people raised their arms and did not want to be a Chinese man who had lost his integrity.
Tang Guangpu later recalled that he had heard someone shouting: Brothers, if you want to survive, follow me.
At that time, some people rushed up, but they were weak and quickly fell under the heavy firepower siege of the Japanese army. In that case, life and death were only a matter of a moment.
Although Tang Hecheng and Tang Guangpu were both experienced soldiers and knew how to avoid Japanese searches, they still did not escape the Japanese carpet-style searches. In the end, they became prisoners of war and were taken to a centralized guard by the Japanese army.
There are many people here who are tied up and unable to move like them.
Faced with death, no one knew what was waiting for them. At the beginning, the Japanese army simply cut off water and food, and there was no other measure. Many people didn't know what the Japanese army wanted to do.
But it is not a solution to keep hungry. Even if you are not killed, you will still starve to death.
So someone secretly colluded with these captured people and wanted to escape collectively.
In fact, the Japanese army had already taken measures to prevent their escape and arranged a lot of firepower on the periphery of the custody of them. So when someone defeated the Japanese devils and rushed out, dense gunshots sounded, and these people fell in a pool of blood again.
Seeing this situation, the people behind no longer dared to rush forward and waited for other opportunities to escape.
After five consecutive days of detention, the Japanese army rushed Tang Guangpu and others to the direction of Tiger Mountain. Many people were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk. In order not to affect the overall speed, the Japanese army on both sides saw the slow-moving people and stabbed them to death, and the people behind passed by the corpses in horror.
I don’t know how long it took, and more and more people were in the open space on the riverside. At this time, some people realized that the Japanese army was going to start a massacre. They had been hungry for so long before, just to make them unable to escape and resist. Such a large-scale massacre was actually planned by the Japanese army for a long time.
No one wanted to sit and wait for death, so they tried their best to untie the rope with their teeth and help each other prepare for a final try.
It’s a pity that before they could completely untie the rope, the Japanese army’s massacre began.
For a moment, gunfire was everywhere, accompanied by the gunfire, patriots shouted, "Long live the Republic of China!".
Tang Hecheng and Tang Guangpu knew that any resistance at this time was futile, and preserving life was the primary priority, so when the Japanese army began to shoot, they first lay on the ground. As more and more corpses pressed against them, they knew that the massacre was about to end.
After a long time, the sound of the Japanese machine guns stopped. They pushed away the layers of corpses and watched with difficulty. The abominable Japanese also thought that there would be fish that would leak the net, so they started shooting again. Tang Hecheng died in the second round of massacre.
With the lesson from last time, Tang Guangpu never dared to stand up again, and his whole body was still motionless even if the blood was stained red.
Time seemed particularly long at that time, as if it was a century. After confirming that the Japanese army had left, Tang Guangpu escaped from the concentration point of the massacre where corpses were covered.
Fortunately, Tang Guangpu met a father and son, and with their cover and help, he was able to escape a shocking catastrophe.
Recalling the Nanjing Massacre, Tang Guangpu said: If you are hungry for five days and five nights, you can’t even walk on the road. What can you use to resist?It’s not that they don’t have no resistance, but that they don’t have the ability to resist.
He has seen all kinds of people, but he has never seen someone like Chen Xian.
He was obviously wearing a Japanese military uniform, but he asked himself to save Chinese refugees.
In the Japanese army, military achievements are also emphasized.
If he captured the refugees and soldiers in the bell tower today, it would be a merit.
