Beacon 1937

On February [-], Ivan walked quickly into the lobby of the mansion wearing a black coat, a plaid scarf, a black-brimmed hat and black leather gloves.The charcoal fire had already lit up in the fireplace inside, and my body immediately warmed up.

After he took off his hat, gloves and coat and handed them to Butler Hall, he hurried towards Frank's study.

Ai Wen received a call from Frank saying that he would rush here as soon as he had news about Nanjing... It was two months since the fall of Nanjing, maybe he could finally get some information about Chen Yuchen and the others.

Butler Hall hurriedly opened the door of the study for him, but to Iwen's surprise, there were not only Frank and Xiang Yinglan in the study, but also Boss Yan, whom he had always wanted to visit but had no chance.

Xiang Yinglan was biting her thumb, her face was full of pain and sorrow, beside her, Frank was holding a file bag in his left hand, and hugging his girlfriend with his right hand, whispering comfort.

When Frank saw Ivan come in, he patted the Chinese girl on the back.After Xiang Yinglan raised her face, Ai Wen discovered that there were tears on her face.

"Ewen, Boss Yan has something to tell you." Regardless of the shock and doubts on his friend's face, Frank helped Xiang Yinglan and walked out of the study with his left hand tightly clutching the file bag.

When only he and Boss Yan were left in the study, Ai Wen couldn't wait to start asking questions, but was stopped by the Chinese man.

"Doctor, I can probably guess what you want to know. But before that, I have something to give you." Boss Yan said as he took out a letter... There was nothing written on the kraft paper Chinese envelope.

Ai Wen immediately picked up the letter opener on the fireplace and opened the seal of the envelope, feeling that the letter might be written to him by the person he had been thinking about for a long time.

The well-organized pen regular script wrote several pages on the vertical letter paper...

Sincerely, Alvin Abel:

Bear the brunt, I should report to you that I am safe: I am fine in Chongqing.

After leaving Shanghai, I was not taken to Nanjing, but was sent directly back to Chongqing.When the Chairman was about to lose in Songhu, he had the idea of ​​moving the capital to Chongqing, so Zhao Han was ordered by my father to send me back forcibly.

I made an appointment with you to reunite in Nanjing, but I couldn't even enter the closed gate of Nanjing. I am extremely anxious about this.At that time, I was afraid that you would be left in Shanghai, but now I am even more glad that you did not go to Nanjing.You can't imagine what's going on there...

When Shanghai fell, it seemed to indicate that half of Nanjing was abandoned, and even the capital was moved to Chongqing in a hurry.But how many people in Nanjing and the soldiers guarding Nanjing know this news...I don't know.Before the defense battle began, I believe they did not realize that Nanjing is no longer the capital.

Except for three divisions of the garrison guarding Nanjing who were sent from Hankou, the rest were withdrawn from the Shanghai battlefield and were remnants of the wounded.In fact, the team is not full, and even [-] are recruits.

Although it is far inferior to Songhu in terms of momentum, the defenders resolutely resisted after the war and sacrificed countless sacrifices.

On December [-]th, the devils came to the city.

On December [-], our army issued an order to retreat, but the defenders retreated out of order, and most of them were stranded in the city.

Ai Wen, what happened next was really unexpected and unbelievable.

Most of the stranded defenders were not killed in battle, but were captured and slaughtered.The grief and indignation of those of us who learned the news afterwards are not enough to describe.But things are not over...

On December [-], Nanjing fell.That day was the pain of the people of Nanjing and the pain of the Chinese people.From that day on, Nanjing City and its surrounding areas became a purgatory on earth...

The devils adopted the so-called "moderate" pseudo-regulation of Shanghai, so you can't imagine what they did to the people of Nanjing, and even we never imagined that they would be so devoid of humanity.

They slaughtered our soldiers, they slaughtered our people, and there were corpses and rivers of blood.Their horrific acts lasted for more than 40 days! For more than 40 days, they actually competed who killed more people. Hundreds of thousands of civilians and prisoners of war were massacred inhumanely.

My whole body is shaking, Alvin, I really want to tear them all to pieces.

We must win this war, no matter how big the difference in strength is, no matter how difficult the battle is, we must win, and we cannot let what happened in Nanjing happen again.This is not only a battle to defend the country, but also a battle related to the survival of the clan.

Ai Wen, stay in the Shanghai French Concession or choose to return to your United States!As long as you are in a safe place, I have no worries.

The next time the battle is fought, I don't want to retreat to the rear, and even if my father threatens to break my legs, he can't stop me from going to the front.

I'm a soldier, I'm a Chinese, I'm just doing what has to be done.Please don't worry about me, as long as I know you are safe, I will fight with all my strength, and I will live with all my strength.

Miss you, miss you, miss you...

Please stay in a safe place, this is my only request.

Congratulations

healthy!

Chen Yuchen February [-], [-]
