I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

...One of our military planes was smashed by a Japanese plane in an air battle, crashed into the city of Peiping, and fell into Kunming Lake impartially. The citizens of Peiping around Kunming Lake rushed over immediately. It had begun to sink into the lake, and no one called. Hundreds of citizens jumped into the lake, swam over, and then dived into the water to rescue the pilot who was trapped in the cockpit of the plane.

After the wet pilot was rescued by the citizens, the people around kept cheering and regarded the pilot as a hero, but the pilot burst into tears. He said that it was his first time to fly a plane in battle, and he didn’t even shoot down a single Japanese plane. However, he was shot down, causing the country to lose an airplane in vain, and the common people still regarded him as a hero. He felt very ashamed and dared not be ashamed.don't cry!Fly to the sky next time for revenge! '...The pilots of the planes that were shot down or destroyed continued to escape by parachuting, most of them were Japanese pilots, and most of them parachuted and landed in the city of Pingjin.

Seeing the domestic pilots parachuting down, the citizens of Pingjin rushed there with food, medicine and flowers. Seeing the Japanese pilots parachuting down, the citizens of Pingjin rushed there with knives, guns and sticks. Several Japanese pilots refused to surrender after landing. He resisted stubbornly, and even wounded citizens with pistols, and was beaten to death by the citizens of Pingjin!"

Chapter 150 Total War (2)

Shu Qingchun, an old Peiping native and a famous writer, wrote in his "Storm in All Directions": "...the Pingjin air battle on July 7, we all watched from a high place, and saw the Japanese planes being beaten into a mess by our planes. Some of them exploded in the air, some fled with black smoke, fled and fled, turning into a ball of red light and falling down. Our Air Force warriors are like hard-wearing flying cavalry, killing the Japanese planes. We are so excited. , Happy..." During the air battle, this great writer specially climbed onto the wall of his own yard, applauded his country's air force warriors like a child, and jumped up and down. Because he was so excited, he accidentally fell off the wall and almost Broken leg.

There lived a Beiyang senior in Tianjin. This man was once the leader of the Zhili warlord and became the fifth president of the Republic of China through bribery. He was the famous Cao Kun.

Cao Kun, who was already 75 years old, used a ladder to climb up on the roof of his house to watch happily when the air battle broke out.

Although this air battle was a complete victory for the Chinese Air Force, it also had a fly in the ointment.

After returning to the voyage, Gao Zhihang said: "We clearly saw a large number of Japanese troops in the field, a large amount of ordnance, piles of supplies, and Tangshan where the Japanese troops gathered. If we can have a hundred... even fifty How wonderful it would be to bomb the Japanese army with a bomber! It will definitely cause extremely heavy casualties and losses to the Japanese army!" Although this is deeply regrettable, it is inevitable, because the Chinese Air Force does not have the bombing capability.

The outstanding performance of the Chinese Air Force made the ground troops of the national army cheer and boost their morale. On the contrary, the morale and fighting spirit of the Japanese army did suffer a certain setback.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the three divisions of the Japanese First Army rushed towards the outer strongholds of Pingjin, Jixian, Xianghe, and Ninghe counties.

In the tsunami-like attack wave of the Japanese army, the 181st Division of Sun Dianying's Department stationed in Jixian County collapsed after only holding on for half an hour.

This is not surprising. The 181st Division was adapted from Shi Yousan's "Northern Hebei Security Army". After Shi Yousan was eliminated by Jiang Weiguo, Sun Dianying served as the new commander of this division. Sun Dianying was originally the commander of the "Chabei Security Army" , Therefore, the 181st Division was jointly organized by the "Chabei Security Army" and the "Northern Hebei Security Army".

The 181st Division is indeed very large in terms of number of people. There are more than 2 people in the division, but most of the members are bandits, bullies, hooligans, and soldiers. The quality of the soldiers of the 181st Division can be described as appalling, and the weapons and equipment of the division are very poor and backward, so this division is an out-and-out mob.

After the start of the war, the Japanese army only sent one regiment to carry out a round of assault, and the 181st Division turned into birds and scattered, and the 9th Cavalry Division of Zheng Dazhang Department, who was ordered to maneuver around the Panshan area near Jixian County, pretended to be deaf to Sun Dianying who repeatedly asked for help. Dumb, helpless, which accelerated the defeat of the 181st Division.

After taking Jixian lightly, the Japanese army did not stop, and immediately launched a crazy attack on Xianghe County, the northern barrier of Beiping, and Ninghe County, the northern barrier of Tianjin. Yu Xuezhong, Wu Keren, Feng Qinzai, and Sun Weiru's troops stationed in these two counties launched tenacious resistance.

Xianghe County and Ninghe County were quickly reduced to ruins and rubble in the bloody battle between the offensive and defensive sides. Among the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, the attacking Japanese army and the defending national army collided like two waves of steel. Flying across, the two counties turned into flesh and blood mills that constantly devoured human lives. On the first day alone, the national army suffered nearly 2 casualties, and the Japanese army also paid the price of more than [-] casualties.

Although Jiang Weiguo was not on the front line of Pingjin, he was paying close attention to the turbulent battle of Pingjin just like Du Yuming and others who were on the front line.

What pleased Jiang Weiguo was that the Japanese army did not have air superiority in the battle, and scenes of Japanese bombers bombarding the national army indiscriminately rarely appeared on the battlefield. On the one hand, it still has a strong advantage. Stimulated by patriotism, the morale of the national army is not inferior to that of the Japanese army. At the same time, it has the support of tens of millions of people in Pingjin and northern Hebei. In the Great North China Plain.

Leaving the city itself, the national army can only rely on the trenches to fight the Japanese army in the wild. When the Japanese tanks rushed over the mountains and plains, and when the shells fired by the Japanese artillery group fell like raindrops, it was really difficult for the national army relying on the trenches. Resist and fight hard.

In addition, Jiang Weiguo also discovered a situation with "Chinese characteristics" on the Pingjin battlefield: the more direct-line troops, the farther away from the front line, and the safer the position.

国军在平津战场上的50多万大军主要分五种：中央军（薛岳的第19集团军、汤恩伯的第13军，以及蒋纬国的第918团和第10炮兵团）、大西北军（宋哲元的第29军、孙连仲的第1军团、庞炳勋的第40军）、小西北军（冯钦哉的第7军以及孙蔚如的第38军）、东北军（万福麟、于学忠、刘多荃、吴克仁、缪澄流、何柱国的6个军）、晋绥军（孙楚的第33军）。

Although Song Zheyuan is the commander-in-chief of the front line, he will definitely not be able to command the Central Army, and he will not put his own 29th Army at the forefront. Zhang Xueliang, the leader of the Northeast Army, has been placed under house arrest, and Yang Hucheng, the leader of the Northwest Army, has been exiled overseas. These two troops had no leader to cover them, no strong backing, and naturally became motherless children, so they were pushed to the front lines of Xianghe County and Ninghe County to fight the Japanese army; Sun Lianzhong's 1st Army and Pang Bingxun After all, the 40th Army was born in the Northwest Army together with Song Zheyuan. Feng Yuxiang, the leader of the Northwest Army, is the vice chairman of the Military Commission. Yes, so these two troops were placed on the second line; the Central Army was directly controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, and went its own way, completely ignoring Song Zheyuan's dispatch, and of course it would not be at the forefront. The Jinsui Army obeyed Yan Xishan's orders and ignored Song Zheyuan's dispatch , did not go to Pingjin, but landed in Baoding and couldn't make it up. No matter how Song Zheyuan sent ten telegrams a day to urge him, Sun Chu also pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Of course, there are still units that are worse than the Northeast Army and the Little Northwest Army. It is Sun Dianying's 181st Division. Grandma doesn't love her uncle and doesn't love her, so being placed in the forefront and the most dangerous Ji County is pure cannon fodder.

"Chinese people have this old problem of 'closeness and distance'... When will they really get rid of it?" Jiang Weiguo was speechless.

During the Anti-Japanese War in history, one part of the national army was in danger. If the other national troops in the surrounding area did not belong to the same faction as this national army, it would be impossible to save them. In contrast, one part of the Japanese army was in danger. The Japanese army will desperately rush to rescue.

It can be said that Jiang Weiguo hated this "national conditions with Chinese characteristics", but he was also powerless. Although the Pingjin battle was very important, it basically had nothing to do with him. In the Shanghai battlefield.

On July 7th, Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech "A Message to All Soldiers in the War of Resistance", claiming: "...Peace is hopeless now, and the only way to fight to the end is to fight the Japanese pirates at all costs!" He once again expressed his determination to resist the war.

On July 7, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the release of the "Seven Gentlemen" who were arrested before the "Xi'an Incident", and at the same time delivered a speech "Preparing the Nation to Fight the War", claiming that the whole country must unite as one and fight against the enemy to start this major war concerning the survival of the nation .

On August 8, the Supreme National Defense Conference of China, which decided the national defense strategy, was held in Nanjing. The Nationalist Government Lin Sen, Chiang Kai-shek, KMT Chairman Wang Jingwei, Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission Feng Yuxiang and other party, government and military leaders, as well as Yan Xishan , Bai Chongxi, Yu Hanmou, Liu Xiang and other local power leaders attended the meeting one after another, and the CCP also sent a delegation headed by Zhu De and Ye Jianying.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very enthusiastic. At the end, Chairman Lin Sen announced that "representatives who agree to start war against Japan are requested to stand up." As a result, everyone at the scene stood up in unison.

Two days later, the Supreme Council of the National Government of the Republic of China was established, and Chiang Kai-shek was elected as the Grand Marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force (after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek resigned from all government affairs to serve as the chairman of the Military Commission and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces).

Subsequently, the Military Commission announced that in order to fight against the Japanese invasion, five theaters were established in the main fighting areas, namely:

The first theater (Ji Province, Cha Province, Pingjin), Commander General Cheng Qian, Deputy Commander General Song Zheyuan;

The Second Theater (Jin Province, Sui Province), Commander General Yan Xishan, Deputy Commander General Zhu De;

The third war zone (southern Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province), Commander Chiang Kai-shek (concurrently), Deputy Commander General Gu Zhutong;

The Fourth Theater (Guangdong Province, Fujian Province), Commander General Chen Shaokuan, Deputy Commander General Yu Hanmou;

The Fifth Theater (Northern Jiangsu Province, Lu Province), Commander General Li Zongren, Deputy Commander General Han Fuju.

After the Supreme National Defense Conference, Chiang Kai-shek called into the office alone Chen Cheng, Deputy Minister of Military and Political Affairs, Zhou Zhirou, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force, and Chen Shaokuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. Jiang Weiguo was also called in at the same time.

"Army, Air Force, and Navy, how are you preparing? Cixiu, Baifu, and Houfu, tell me about each!" In the office, Chiang Kai-shek cut to the chase.

Jiang Weiguo watched intently from the side, and he was also very concerned about this, because he also participated in the rectification of the armed forces, and invested a lot of effort and money.

Chen Cheng began to report, his expression was slightly embarrassed and regretful.

According to Chen Cheng's report, the national army has adjusted 35 divisions and 24 divisions, the Northeast Army has adjusted 10 divisions, and half-adjusted 5 divisions. There are also 10 divisions of the Guangdong Army, 26 divisions of the Sichuan Army, and 9 divisions. An independent brigade was organized (the reorganization division, adjustment division, reorganization division, and new division division are four different concepts).

中央军共30个师在不同程度上进行了德械化建设，但只有七支部队（即第36、第87、第88师、第2补充旅、中央军校教导总队、第918团、第128团）完成全面德械化，大部分师仅仅半德械化，甚至就只是补充了一批德械轻武器而已。

"If the war is delayed by two years or even one year, this project will be greatly improved!" Chen Cheng finally sighed, "Oh! The war is too sudden, and the army's rectification project is very hasty. It can only be said that [-]% of it has been completed!"

Jiang Weiguo felt a little ashamed when he heard it. After all, Jiang Weiguo was "responsible" for the outbreak of the July [-]th Incident.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded, without blaming Chen Cheng: "Cixiu, don't blame yourself, I know you have tried your best.

How is the reserve army and reserve army building going? "

Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the committee member, this matter is relatively smooth.

At present, 15 reserve troops have been established in Jiangsu Province, 12 in Zhejiang Province, 10 in Guangdong Province, and 8 in Fujian Province; 30 in Henan Province and 25 in Anhui Province are training; , Guizhou Province has a total of more than 60 reserve troops in training, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

It's just... there are soldiers and instructors, but weapons and equipment are very scarce, because the supply of arms and ammunition produced by the arsenal is in short supply for the regular army, let alone the reserve army and the reserve army. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the reserve army and the reserve army have almost no live ammunition shooting training. Quickly add them to the regular army, but after adding them, it will take at least two months of live ammunition training before they can go to the battlefield!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly again: "The conditions are limited, I can't blame you!" He looked at Zhou Zhirou, "Where is the air force?"

Section 151 Air Navy

Zhou Zhirou has the best complexion among the three of Chen, Zhou and Chen, and she can be said to be in high spirits: "Chairman, the Air Force, please rest assured! The Air Force currently has about 1300 aircraft, and more than 900 are The new aircraft (over 800 of the new aircraft are all bf-109 fighter jets) are organized into 10 aviation brigades, 8 fighter brigades, and 2 bomber brigades. There are more than 2800 pilots in the Air Force, and more than 4000 pilots are in the air force. in training.

Both the Air Force General Command and the Air Force University headquarters have moved to Wuhan. An Air Force Frontline General Command has been established in Nanjing. The air force bases in Shanghai, Nanjing, Luoyang, Changsha, Nanchang, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Baoding, and Taiyuan are distributed and University branch campuses have been fully constructed, and simple temporary field airfields have been built in 27 places including Beiping Nanyuan, Linfen, Handan, Jianqiao, Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Hangzhou, Anqing, Jinhua, and Jiujiang.

The aircraft factory in Chongqing has taken shape, can repair damaged aircraft, and is starting to produce aircraft. According to the factory production line, technicians, aircraft technology provided by Germany and the related machines we purchased from the United States, Britain, France, Italy and other aviation powers equipment, the Chongqing Aircraft Factory can imitate and produce 30 new German fighter jets per month!"

"Okay, very good, very good!" Chiang Kai-shek was heartbroken when he heard that, the air force really made him feel comfortable and at ease.

Zhou Zhirou continued happily: "More than that, the German Flying Tigers are starting to help China. They have brought more than 300 aircraft, more than 1500 pilots, and 1500 people including ground crews, mechanical maintenance personnel, engineers, and aircraft experts. Many people, General Erhard Milch promised me that more German planes and German pilots will come to China to help in the future!"

"Yeah!" Chiang Kai-shek nodded happily, "Baifu, you have done a very good job! The Air Force's victory in the Pingjin front has already proved your hard work and contribution!"

"Chairman, the award!" Zhou Zhirou is very polite, "How dare Zhirou take the credit alone, the first credit belongs to the wife and the second son, without the full support of the wife and the second son, Zhirou is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice!" He said. This remark actually comes from the heart.

Chiang Kai-shek nodded again with a smile on his face, and at the same time glanced at Jiang Weiguo, his eyes were full of joy.

Jiang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The strength of the Chinese Air Force at this time is much stronger than that at the beginning of the War of Resistance in history. It is conservatively estimated that the strength has increased by at least ten times, and it is taking the most correct path: fighter jets first, Fighter only.

"Houfu, where's the navy?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chen Shaokuan.

The joy on Chen Shaokuan's face was not as much as that of Zhou Zhirou, but the worry on his face was not as heavy as that of Chen Cheng. He replied: "Chairman, although the development of the navy is the most difficult, we have done our best.

Our navy is now composed of six major parts: the surface fleet, the submarine force, the torpedo boat force, the mine-laying force, the marine force, and the naval aviation force.

In terms of surface fleet, the navy is now reorganized into three fleets. The first and second fleets are offshore fleets, and the third fleet is the Yangtze River fleet. The first and second fleets are stationed at Sanmen Bay Base in Zhejiang Province, and the third fleet is stationed at Poyang Lake. .

In order to preserve the vitality and foundation of the navy, the ships of the Third Fleet are the elite of the navy, mainly Ninghai, Pinghai, Yixian, Zhongshan, Ziqiang, and Datong.

For the submarine force, the submarine base is located in Sansha Bay, Fujian Province. There is also a formed submarine factory on Qingshan Island in Sansha Bay, which can repair submarines and imitate the construction of German submarines.

Due to limitations in technology, materials, equipment, and time, it is difficult for Qingshan Island Submarine Factory to build a German VIIC submarine (760 tons, carrying 11 torpedoes). Although it can be built, it takes a long time. Therefore, Qingshan Island Submarine Factory Concentrate on the imitation and construction of the German iib submarine (280 tons, carrying 5 torpedoes). The first iib submarine will be officially built at the end of the year, and it is expected to build one or two a month next year.

The Navy Submarine Force currently has 21 German submarines, and 12 more are on their way from Germany, and all will arrive before the end of the year.

已拥有的这21艘潜艇包括5艘iib型战斗潜艇、2艘xiva型运输潜艇、4艘xb型布雷潜艇、12艘viic型战斗潜艇，路上的那12艘潜艇包括2艘xiva型运输潜艇和10艘viic型战斗潜艇。

Because the type iib combat submarine is relatively small, it can also play a certain role in the inland river of the Yangtze River. Therefore, among the five submarines of the navy, three are incorporated into the third fleet and are stationed together in Poyang Lake, and the other two are submarines in Sanshawan. base.

There are three bases for the torpedo boat force, one in Wuhan, one in Fuzhou, and one in Sanmen Bay, Zhejiang Province.

The torpedo boat force currently has a total of more than 280 torpedo boats, of which more than 260 are new-style "Wasp", organized into 10 torpedo boat brigades, 3 in Wuhan, 3 in Fuzhou, and 4 in Sanmen Bay.

The mine-laying force includes 20 mine-laying brigades, half of which are deployed in ports such as Shanghai, Fuzhou, Sanmen Bay, Guangzhou, and Lianyungang, and half of which are deployed in Jiangyin, Nanjing, Jiujiang, and Wuhan along the Yangtze River.

The mine-laying force has more than 5000 mines of various types.

The Marine Corps includes 6 marine regiments, each with about 1500 troops and a total of about 1 troops, stationed in Fuzhou, Sanmen Bay, Sansha Bay, Jiangyin, Nanjing, Wuhan and other places.

The Naval Air Force was established with the help of the Air Force. It is relatively weak and has more than 100 aircraft of various types (basically fighter jets). It is mainly stationed in Fuzhou, Sanmen Bay, and Sansha Bay to protect the naval headquarters, submarine bases, and surface fleets. base.

The headquarters of the Navy General Command and the Naval University are located in Fuzhou, and the first and second front enemy headquarters are set up in Nanjing and Wuhan.

The Navy’s torpedo boat factory, torpedo factory, and mine factory are all divided into two factories: Wuhan Factory and Fuzhou Factory. Under the condition of ideal funds, materials, equipment, and manpower, more than 40 torpedo boats and more than 150 torpedo boats can be built every month. Torpedoes, more than 1500 mines!"

"Chairman, please rest assured!" Chen Shaokuan finally said solemnly, "All the officers and men of the navy are ready to serve the country and be benevolent!"

After listening to Chen Shaokuan's report and statement, Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly with satisfaction on his face, and Jiang Weiguo was relieved again. At this time, the Chinese navy was still very weak compared to the Japanese navy, but it had several trump cards against the Japanese navy.

Chen Cheng, Zhou Zhirou, and Chen Shaokuan then discussed with Chiang Kai-shek some detailed combat readiness issues of the Army, Air Force, and Navy, and left half an hour later. Chiang Kai-shek left Jiang Weiguo alone in the office.

"Wei'er, let me tell you two things!" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo, "First, the Military Commission decided to set up another battlefield in Shanghai, shift the focus of the Japanese army's war to Shanghai, and redirect the Japanese army's marching route to ' From east to west', so the 128th Regiment departs for Shanghai immediately, starting tonight!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again: "Father, don't worry! The 128th regiment can't wait long ago, and the whole regiment is gearing up to kill the Japanese invaders!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly, and then said: "The second thing... Yang Jie was received by Stalin in Moscow and proposed to start Sino-Soviet cooperation immediately. Stalin agreed to this. Wang Chonghui is talking to Bogomolov (Soviet ambassador to China) Conduct consultations and prepare to sign the Sino-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo was a little surprised.
