I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The Sino-Japanese War, for China, must be long and arduous. Under this overall premise, if the Chinese army has been defeated repeatedly after the war, the morale of the army, the hearts of the people, the belief of the soldiers and the people in the war of resistance, and the confidence that the war of resistance will be won will all be affected. It caused a big blow, and then stimulated those peacemakers and pro-Japanese factions to turn into capitulation factions, and finally a large number of traitors and puppet troops appeared. Therefore, victory is what the Chinese army, the Chinese government, and even China as a whole urgently need. The victory at the beginning of the war More precious and rare, with unparalleled significance.

Chapter 154 Shanghai (3)

Jiang Weiguo was waiting in Shanghai for the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, while in North China, the Battle of Pingjin was going on earth-shattering and frightening.

By this time, the Pingjin battle had been going on for a week, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The Japanese army had nearly 1 casualties, while the national army had suffered more than 4 casualties. The "Pearl of the Orient", which is full of feasting and debauchery, has the atmosphere of Yinggeyanyanwu in the past being soaked in gunpowder smoke to appear chilling and ferocious. The Shanghai garrisons of China and Japan are at war with each other.

While the Japanese army aggressively invaded China, the Japanese navy also actively dispatched.

In response to the Army's strong request, the Japanese Navy dispatched two fleets with cruisers and destroyers as capital ships, namely the 3rd and 4th Fleets.

The 4th Fleet sailed to Tianjin under the command of Fleet Commander Vice Admiral Toyoda to cooperate with the Japanese Army in the Pingjin Battle. The 3rd Fleet sailed to Shanghai under the command of Fleet Commander Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi to "protect the Japanese nationals in Shanghai". The fleet is collectively called the "Imperial Navy China Fleet", the commander-in-chief is Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi, and the chief of staff is Rear Admiral Sugiyama Rokuzo.

The Japanese 3rd Fleet, which arrived in Shanghai, brazenly marched into Wusongkou to demonstrate.

The coming of the Great War enveloped the financial center of the Far East.

During the short period of time waiting for the outbreak of the Songhu Battle, although Jiang Weiguo could not be said to be calm, he was still at ease, because he already had experience in Wanping City on the front line of Pingjin.

"Oh! I almost forgot one thing!" Jiang Weiguo patted himself on the head while staring at the Shanghai map and studying repeatedly, "Sihang Warehouse!" There was a very famous Sixing Warehouse in the Songhu Battle in history In the defensive battle, the question Jiang Weiguo was thinking about at this time was: Should we send troops to reinforce the Sixing Warehouse in advance?Turn it into an impregnable fortress fortress?But after careful consideration, Jiang Weiguo felt that this move was basically taking off his pants and farting.

First of all, in the past, the "eight hundred strong men" stick to the Four Lines Warehouse. Why do they stick to it?This was an order from Chiang Kai-shek. First, it was for the rear of the palace. At that time, the Battle of Songhu was about to end, and the Shanghai national army retreated across the board. It was necessary to set up several solid strongholds in important places in the rear to delay the speed of the Japanese army from chasing the national army. Second, it was for "show". To fight a political battle for foreigners in the Shanghai Concession to "watch", so as to show the international community China's firm attitude against Japanese aggression and win the sympathy and support of the international community.

At present, these two reasons are not very valid. First, the withdrawal of the national army from Shanghai can be done in a calm and orderly manner under the condition of proper command and strong organization. There is no need to leave a lone army to guard the rear stronghold. I don't agree with Chiang Kai-shek's Xianglin's sister-in-law's international political attitude at all. It is meaningless and useless to show how miserable I am in the hope of gaining sympathy and support.

The original history of the "Sihang Warehouse Defense War" made foreigners watch with gusto. They sympathized with China and said a lot, but they didn't provide much assistance at all.

The most distressing thing is that the "eight hundred strong men" (actually more than 420 people) who stick to the Sixing Warehouse finally became a lone army besieged by all sides. To put it bluntly, they were completely abandoned. There were only 20 people, and the rest became prisoners of the Japanese army after the outbreak of the Pacific War, and after completing their missions and retreating into the foreign concession, they were regarded as prisoners. The commander-in-chief Xie Jinyuan was also killed by traitors.

Therefore, Jiang Weiguo does not support this kind of waste of blood of soldiers at all.

In addition, there is another reason. Xie Jinyuan is the deputy head of the 88th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 524th Division of the National Army. Because of Jiang Weiguo's "butterfly effect", the 88th Division is on the front line of the Pingjin Battle at this time. Xie Jinyuan will definitely not Stick to the Sixing Warehouse as in the original history.

"War should be fought to defend the country, how can it be fought for the appreciation of foreigners?" Jiang Weiguo thought to himself, "There is no need to fight the defense of the Sixing Warehouse, because it is not necessary at all!"

As soon as the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment entered Hongqiao Airport, troubles followed one after another.

Since Shanghai is the front line of the war that is about to break out, the Chinese Air Force has a front-line airport in Shanghai, which is Hongqiao Airport. However, Hongqiao Airport is too close to the front line to put too many planes here.

In southern Jiangsu, the air force bases present the characteristics of "many, scattered, and small". There are airports in Shanghai, and airports in Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou and other places. The scale is not large. Each airport has about one aviation squadron stationed. It is the largest air base of the national army in southern Jiangsu. First, it is not far from Shanghai, so it can reinforce Shanghai at any time, and it can also avoid the Japanese army’s surprise attack on Nanjing Airport. Second, Nanjing is the capital after all, and its air power cannot be ignored. Therefore, there are two aviation brigades stationed at Nanjing Dajiaochang Airport, and one squadron stationed at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

"Zheng Tuanzuo, Huang Tuanzuo, the second son, Liu Cuigang came to report!" A heroic Air Force captain with thick eyebrows and big eyes told Zheng Dongguo and Huang Guoshu in the joint headquarters of the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment near Hongqiao Airport , Jiang Weiguo saluted, "Second son, we meet again!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled and punched Liu Cuigang: "Okay! We will wait to see you and your brothers!" Jiang Weiguo had met Liu Cuigang before. He had visited the Air Force's flight training many times, and he was very close to Liu Cuigang and other pilots. familiar.

In the Chinese Air Force, Liu Cuigang, Gao Zhihang, Li Guidan, and Le Yiqin are collectively known as the "Four Heavenly Kings". Except for Le Yiqin, who is from Sichuan, the other three are from Northeast China.

Among the four, Gao Zhihang's flying skills are the top. He can fly a plane to make very complex and difficult flying maneuvers in the air, while Liu Cuigang's aerial combat skills are the top (in the original history, Liu Cuigang He was the number one pilot who shot down the most Japanese planes in the Chinese Air Force's eight-year war of resistance, with a record of 11).

Jiang Weiguo equips Gao Zhihang, Liu Cuigang and other pilots with the world-class bf-109 fighter jets.

At this time, Liu Cuigang's military position was the squadron leader of the 5th Squadron of the 24th Aviation Fighter Brigade of the Chinese Air Force.

Liu Cuigang smiled slightly, but his expression was full of steel-like determination and fiery fighting spirit: "Don't worry!" He said with a long sigh, "Ziheng (Gao Zhihang) and the others have already shown their talents and fought bloody battles on the front line in North China. Can't wait too long!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Liu Cuigang with confidence: "Come on! I look forward to your showing your talents on the front line in East China!"

The air force stationed at Hongqiao Airport is Liu Cuigang's No. 24 Squadron, which has 26 fighter jets, 2 reconnaissance planes and 6 bombers.

Naturally, the Japanese in Shanghai were not fools. They immediately noticed that the number of the Shanghai Municipal Security Corps suddenly increased. In fact, the method of the Japanese investigation was not complicated. They sent people to follow the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment. Logistical quartermasters.

The more than 128 officers and soldiers of the 14th Regiment and the 918th Artillery Regiment must have food and hoard food and other daily necessities for the war. The Japanese discovered that the Chinese garrison at Hongqiao Airport purchased food and daily necessities outside. The number has doubled several times, so it can be judged that the Chinese garrison at Hongqiao Airport has been greatly strengthened in terms of troops. The Chinese army at Hongqiao Airport has a large number of tanks." Since the Chinese army only has two armored regiments, the 128th and 918th regiments, and the 128th regiment is participating in the battle at the Pingjin front, the Japanese quickly concluded that "the Chinese Central Army's elite tanks The [-]th regiment of the army may have arrived in Shanghai and stationed at Hongqiao Airport", this accurate conclusion, and then went all out to conduct intelligence spying.

Only on the second day, August 8, the 6th regiment caught the first batch of Japanese eyeliners.

This morning, the patrolling soldiers at the gate of the airport found a few suspicious people wandering around the airport (Hongqiao Airport is also the base of the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment) sneaking around.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Xu Yuwei, the commander of the 1st company of the 1st Battalion on duty, ordered decisively: "Catch it first!"

The reporting platoon leader asked, "What if they run?"

"Shot warning!"

"The warning is invalid?"

"Shoot in the leg!" Xu Yuwei said unequivocally, "If you are a normal citizen, why are you running? Since you are running, you just don't call yourself! It means there is something wrong!"

There were five suspects in total, two were peddlers selling cigarettes and selling fruits nearby, two were idle men with nothing to do, and one was a monk wearing cassock, holding wooden fish and chanting scriptures.

"Come here!" The patrolling soldier shouted to the five people.

The two peddlers jumped up in shock, as if they wanted to run subconsciously, but they stopped and stood there pretending to be calm: "Officer, what's the matter?" The two idlers ran away guiltily, seven or eight The soldiers chased after them, and two soldiers fired warning shots into the air. One of the two idlers hurriedly stopped running, turned around and caught him with a raised hand, and the other continued to run with his head buried in his head. Immediately, a soldier shot him in the leg. The idler With a scream, he was shot in the leg and fell to the ground.

"Company commander!" A soldier shouted to Xu Yuwei, "That bald donkey has run away!"

Xu Yuwei saw that the monk who seemed to be begging for alms was running wildly in a way that was completely inconsistent with the tranquil style of a monk.

"Stop! Or you'll shoot!" Xu Yuwei shouted sharply.

The monk continued to run wildly without looking back.

Seeing that the monk was about to turn into an alley, Xu Yuwei pulled out his pistol and fired, the bullet missed slightly. The monk wailed, was shot in the back, and fell to the ground gushing with blood.

All five suspects were arrested at the airport. The two peddlers were safe and sound because they did not resist. Nothing suspicious was found on their bodies. One of the two idlers was fine and the other was shot in the leg, but a miniature camera was found from their bodies. , binoculars, rulers, military maps and other spy items. As for the monk, his spleen was pierced by a bullet, he lost blood rapidly, and died soon.

Now that it was determined that there was a problem with the two idlers, the officers and soldiers were of course not polite.

In the Gendarmerie of the 128th Regiment, two idlers wailed and howled under the "warm greeting" of the gendarmes. Soon, both of them, who were wet all over their bodies, confessed (because the gendarmes used waterboarding according to Jiang Weiguo's order) .

The two were Chinese, and they were employed by the Japanese to spy on Hongqiao Airport, and they confessed that the two peddlers were actually their accomplices. The two peddlers were Japanese, but the Japanese were very cunning. Put it on the traitors, and I am clean, and there is no evidence after being arrested.

The identity of the monk is unknown, but Zheng Dongguo judged from the way the monk wore a bamboo hat that he was a Japanese monk and belonged to the Nichiren sect of Japanese Buddhism.

"Framed! This is a false accusation!"

"They're spitting blood!"

Two peddlers yelled: "Although we are Japanese, we are just running a small business to subsidize our family! We are Japanese expatriates who obey the laws of your country! We are not spies at all! You have no right to arrest us! You have no right to arrest us!" evidence!"

Zheng Dongguo said angrily, "Those two dogs of yours have recruited you!"

"They're talking nonsense! Where's the evidence? Do you have evidence?" The two peddlers looked aggressive and confident.

"Damn it!" Zhang Lingfu was furious, "You two little Japanese, how dare you deny it when you're caught?" He drew his pistol.

"Lingfu, calm down!" Huang Baitao pulled Zhang Lingfu back, "Don't do anything impulsive!"

"Impulsive?" Zhang Lingfu was furious at first, and then angry and funny, "Everyone, what are we doing? Guangting and the others are fighting bloody battles on the front lines in Pingjin, and hundreds of thousands of national troops are fighting the Japanese on the battlefield in North China. We are being polite to the Japanese in Shanghai? To be honest, I am really confused, are we fighting the Japanese?"

"Lingfu, we have to consider our superiors!" Qiu Zhiji patted Zhang Lingfu on the shoulder, "Don't cause trouble for the superiors, I believe the superiors have their own safe solutions!"

Zhang Lingfu looked fiercely and bitterly at the two Japanese who kept screaming for grievances, and then said in a low voice: "It's too cheap to let them go. If you beat them up and let them go again, it will make trouble. Just... cut them one at a time. Then dig a hole and bury it!"

"Damn it!" Jiang Weiguo was speechless, "Someone outside must have seen these people being caught by us. The matter is simply not covered in paper, so let's stop doing things that are self-defeating!" Jiang Weiguo remembered that in the original history The Songhu battle stemmed from a "self-defeating" incident. On August 8th, a lieutenant named Yufu Oyama and a private first-class soldier named Yozo Saito of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai drove into Hongqiao Airport by force. The Chinese soldiers stationed at the airport Killed, the Japanese then came to settle accounts and made a number of outrageous and unreasonable demands. This is the "Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Incident", which was the fuse of the Songhu Battle.

Originally, China was justified in this matter, but Yang Hu, the commander of the Shanghai Municipal Police, was smart enough to order a death row prisoner to be brought in, put on a Chinese soldier's uniform, and shot at the gate of the airport. Finally, he declared that the Japanese army killed China first Soldiers, the Chinese soldiers fought back in self-defense, but it turned out to be self-defeating. The Japanese and people from other countries who participated in the investigation saw the flaws. Therefore, the Japanese insisted that the Chinese army deliberately killed and provoked the Chinese side. Dilemma.

Jiang Weiguo didn't want to do such a stupid thing.

"Jianhao, what do you think we should do?" Zheng Dongguo looked at Jiang Weiguo.

"Call General Yang and Mayor Yu (the current mayor of Shanghai, Yu Hongjun) and report truthfully!" Jiang Weiguo said.

Compared with the original historical version, the "Hongqiao Airport Incident" spread throughout Shanghai in a short period of time, alarming the highest military and political institutions of both sides in Shanghai, and then alarming the military affairs of both sides. High level government.

Just three hours later, Lieutenant General Yang Hu, Shanghai Municipal Police Commander, Yu Hongjun, Mayor of Shanghai, Major General Honda Tadao, Military Attaché of the Japanese Army in Shanghai, Okamoto Jimasa, Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, and other high-level officials from both sides came to Hongqiao Airport to "jointly Investigate this incident."

After listening to Zheng Dongguo's report and seeing the captured Japanese, traitors, and dead Japanese monks, Yang Hu secretly cried out in his heart: "Damn Japanese! Play this trick again!" He remembered very clearly, five years ago The "January [-]th Incident" (Songhu Anti-Japanese War) was like this. At that time, a "Japanese monk incident" occurred. A Japanese monk was beaten to death. Now, by coincidence, another Japanese monk died.

"Ba Ge!" Major General Honda was already furious, and he looked at Yang Hu and Yu Hongjun viciously, "General Yang, Mayor Yu, what do you mean? Arresting our law-abiding foreigners for no reason, and killing our religious figures ! You are a naked provocation!"

"Your side's actions are intolerable! We will never let our innocent victims die in vain!" Okamoto Kimasa is also aggressive, "You must give us an explanation that satisfies us! Otherwise, our side I will never let it go!"

Jiang Weiguo wanted to take out a roll of tape and give it to Jizheng Okamoto.

Chapter 155 Shanghai (4)

Yu Hongjun's expression was very calm, without the slightest surprise, nervousness, panic, or panic, because he, like Song Zheyuan in North China, was accustomed to the Japanese virtues and took it for granted. , for the victims, we express our deep condolences and would like to extend condolences; secondly, if we are responsible for the incident, we will be responsible, if the responsibility is not on our side, we will also hold you accountable.

General Honda and Mr. Okamoto, you have seen that the incident took place in the area where our army is stationed. It can be said that this is a military restricted zone, but your personnel broke into our military restricted zone for no reason, which in turn caused the unfortunate incident. , in my opinion..."

"Nonsense!" Major General Honda interrupted Yu Hongjun coldly, "Who said this is the place where the incident happened? Maybe your soldiers killed our nationals elsewhere and then dragged the corpses here to fake the scene and shirk responsibility! "

"That's right!" Jisho Okamoto said eloquently, "The two of us who were arrested by your side for no reason and the monk who was killed by your side for no reason are all innocent and kind foreigners! What's wrong with them? What's wrong with them? Why was he imprisoned and killed? And in what name and reason did you imprison and kill him?"

"Teacher Zheng!" Yang Hu looked at Zheng Dongguo with displeasure, "Why did you do this?"

Zheng Dongguo defended: "We saw these five people wandering around the airport suspiciously, so we wanted to investigate and question them. The two Chinese were found with spy equipment. The evidence is solid, and they also admitted that they were victims They were hired by the Japanese to spy on our garrison at Hongqiao Airport. In addition, they also admitted that the two Japanese were their accomplices. As for the Japanese monk, he ran away when we asked him to come for questioning. We ordered him to stop. shot, but he ignored it, so we shot, intending to kick his legs, but accidentally hit his waist, causing his accidental death!"

"These are just your one-sided words! It's not credible at all!" Major General Honda dismissed it.

"Yes!" Jizheng Okamoto immediately chimed in, "What those two Chinese people said is nothing but nothing, and it doesn't mean that the two detained foreigners on our side are engaged in espionage activities. As for the monk, he may I was just frightened and had a different language, so I fled in panic, only to be brutally killed by you!"

"General Honda, Mr. Okamoto, is it too arbitrary for you to insist so firmly?" Yu Hongjun looked cold, "What is the truth of the matter, we need to conduct a joint investigation between you and me, and you can also invite a third party to supervise. Black is black and white is black. Bai, everything is still unknown, and you can't wait to put the responsibility on us, which has to make people speculate!" There was a slight but obvious sarcasm in his words.

Affected by Jiang Weiguo's "butterfly effect", although the Sino-Japanese War officially broke out "as scheduled" on July [-], [-], this war has been closely related to the original eight-year war of resistance from the very beginning. There are not small differences. For example, Pingjin and Hebei provinces were not easily captured by the Japanese army. The Japanese army suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Pingjin and lost nearly [-] soldiers. The current Pingjin battle is in full swing, although the Chinese army cannot support the crazy Japanese army on the ground. , but the Chinese Air Force performed bravely in the sky and gained a lot of money, which made the Japanese air force feel ashamed. Because of the "good start", the "fear of Japan" and "anxiety" in all walks of life in China have correspondingly decreased a lot. This kind of overall atmosphere can be applied to an individual like Yu Hongjun. Naturally, he has a lot of toughness when facing the Japanese.

"Mayor Yu, what do you mean?" Okamoto Jizheng was furious, "The fact is right in front of you, and you still want to deny it?"

"Mr. Okamoto, what exactly do you want?" Yu Hongjun was a little impatient.

When a weak person faces the arrogance of a strong person, no matter how impatient he is, he has to force himself to smile, but when a strong person (or a weak person who thinks he is strong) faces the arrogance of a strong person, his impatience is directly impatient.

"Huh!" Okamoto Ji was straight-forward, "First, you must immediately release our nationals who were arrested and imprisoned by your side for no reason; second, you must pay for the funeral of the religious person who was murdered by us; Three, you must make a public apology to us; fourth, you must punish the soldiers who shot and killed and the officers who gave the order to shoot; fifth, you must pay compensation for this matter; The number, equipment, and location of the troops stationed around the airport must be restricted by our side; seventh, you must dismantle all fortifications in this area; eighth, the defense affairs of Hongqiao Airport shall be jointly borne by both parties; ninth, in the Shanghai Huxi District (Changning District) with Hongqiao Airport as the center must set up a monitoring agency led by us to closely investigate whether there are civil forces or organizations that oppose the Japanese and anti-Japanese in this area. Its outlawed; the tenth..."

Jiang Weiguo wanted to laugh when he heard it, and the reason for his wanting to laugh is needless to say. At the same time, he also wanted to laugh about another thing: what is going on?The armies of China and Japan have obviously been slaughtered on the front line in North China, blood and blood are flying everywhere, but here in Shanghai, the two sides seem to be still normal diplomatic relations.

In Pingjin, the Chinese and Japanese met each other as enemies, were extremely jealous, and hated each other. In Shanghai, the Chinese and Japanese were actually "peaceful with each other" (although they did not live in harmony, but they did not have to work hard to meet each other) .

The reason for such a weird situation is that first, China did not declare war on Japan, but only started a war, and it was only a partial war; second, Japan did not declare war on China (the specific reasons have been explained earlier), so the two countries are still in the " Normal diplomatic relations", Tokyo has a Chinese embassy in Japan, and Nanjing has a Japanese embassy in China.

Both sides have their own scruples, so although they both wish to put the other party to death and hurry up, the action of sharpening their swords is only under the table, and they still deal with each other with a smile on the table.

On the other hand, on the front lines of North China and Pingjin, Japan took the initiative to attack and China passively defended, but on the front lines of East China and Songhu, China took the initiative to attack and Japan passively defended (at least in the early days).
