新发现南京保卫战第44号作战令的重要价值

The Important Value of the Newly-discovered Operation Order No.44 of the Battle of Nanjing

近年,侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆收藏并展陈了一份南京保卫战第44号作战命令的原件。该件为南京卫戍军发布的作战命令中罕见的一份原件。其内容证明,唐生智在已经接奉蒋介石撤退令的情况下,采取了一面命令各部队继续坚守阵地、一面命令参谋人员安排有序撤退的临变举措,这为正确、公平评价唐生智在南京保卫战中的表现,提供了可靠的依据。“卫参作第44号命令”,在内容的完整性、时间的关键性及史料的启发性方面,都有着重要的意义和价值。

In recent years,the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders has collected and exhibited an original copy of the Operation Order No.44 of the Battle of Nanjing,which is rare among the operation orders issued by the Nanjing Garrison.The content proves that after receiving the retreat order from Chiang Kai-shek,Tang Shengzhi took temporary measures by ordering the troops to continue to hold their grounds on one hand and the staff officers to arrange an orderly retreat on the other hand.This provides a solid evidence in terms of a correct and fair evaluation of Tang Shengzhi’s performance during the Battle of Nanjing.This operation order has great significance and value in terms of the completeness and suggestiveness.
