What happened during the next four months, from the retreat from Shanghai to the fall of Nanking, should be recorded in history, as Friedrich von Logau put it, with a bayonet dipped in the ink of fresh blood upon the paper made from the skin of the enemy.

• 以后这四个月里的事，从上海撤退到南京陷落，历史该如洛高(Fr.；von Logau)所说，把刺刀磨尖当笔，蘸鲜血当墨水，写在敌人的皮肤上当纸。
