Nanjing******

The crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Nanjing are too numerous to describe. While we denounce the enemies, we often reflect on why the Chinese soldiers failed to defend Nanjing, the capital at that time. This book restores the course of the war from the first perspective of the Kuomintang garrison generals and answers many questions for us. In fact, strictly speaking, this battle to defend Nanjing may have started as early as the Battle of Songhu. The common goal of the two-way military forces was the capital city on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. However, due to various reasons such as improper command and lack of strength, Nanjing was eventually lost.

This book is a precious memoir about the Battle of Nanjing, written by a Kuomintang general who participated in the Battle of Nanjing. These articles are not only detailed in content, but also full of the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation in opposing aggression and saving the nation. They depict the cruelty and tragedy of the war at that time, and show the indomitable spirit and courage of the Chinese people. In their articles, these generals described the beginning and end of the Nanjing Defense War in detail, deeply analyzed the background and causes of the war, and truly reproduced the war scenes and characters. Their words are full of love for the motherland and desire for national rejuvenation. This emotion and pursuit deeply infect readers and inspire people's patriotic enthusiasm. Through this book, we can have a deeper understanding of the importance of the Battle of Nanjing to Chinese history and the Chinese nation, and we can also cherish the peace and happiness we have now. Let us inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and spirit of the Chinese nation and contribute our strength to the revitalization of the Chinese nation.

The content of this book is derived from the personal experience records of the former Kuomintang participating generals, middle and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers about the Nanjing Defense War (Anti-Japanese War). The same battle and process are narrated from the perspective of multiple people. The personal experiences of generals at all levels are mainly fragments. In addition, the war was short and cannot reflect the overall situation. However, it is also possible to basically clarify and restore the resistance of the officers and soldiers in the city defense battle and the root cause of the chaos in the retreat after the city was broken. In the battle to defend Nanjing, the top and bottom were not unified, the strength gap was too large, the commander was also an old man, and the most important thing was the corruption of the Kuomintang, which led to the failure of the Nanjing defense.
