I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The commander of the battle was the French general Montauban, who was rewarded by the French emperor after his triumphant return, but the top French officials objected to giving him too high a reward, because "the battle that took place at Baliqiao in China was nothing more than a It was a laughable battle', 'we only lost a dozen people, and he didn't deserve such a high reward'.

Talented girl Liu, do you understand?Why did the Qing army suffer a crushing defeat?Because the Qing army held bows and arrows and spears, while the British and French allied forces held machine guns.

Isn't it the same now?When the strength is not as good as others, it is shameful to endure humiliation, endure humiliation, accumulate strength, and accumulate strength?Stupid people like you and your father, and people with bad intentions and impure motives will scold my dad and the national government all day long, just to help the Japanese, but still think they are very patriotic!"

Liu Wugou was completely speechless.

Jiang Weiguo curled his lips: "Look at me, I have already put on a military uniform and went to the battlefield. Aren't you and your father clamoring to fight against the Japanese all day long? Your father is old, what about you? Why don't you come to serve as a soldier? Just be a soldier." Nurses, you can do your part too!"

"I..." Liu Wugou blushed.

"Brother Wei!" Sun Tao suddenly screamed from the driver's seat in front.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Weiguo hurriedly leaned forward.

"Look at Jiangshang!" Sun Tao stared intently.

Jiang Weiguo followed the trend and was taken aback.

On the dark Yangtze River, the Izumo and Iwate, escorted by six destroyers, rolled into the Huangpu River.

"All naval guns, aim at the construction site along the river in Jiangwan Town..." In the bridge command room of the Izumo, Admiral Hasegawa shouted with a livid face, "Fire!"

At one o'clock in the morning on August [-], [-], the Battle of Songhu, where the mountains and rivers changed color, officially broke out.

The Battle of Songhu was the second large-scale battle after the Battle of Pingjin after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War (when the Battle of Songhu broke out, the Battle of Pingjin was still going on). , Strategic significance, international influence and other aspects are much more than the Pingjin battle, but this battle caught both warring parties by surprise.

Before the war, the Japanese basically did not think that Nanjing would have the strength, determination, or need to open up a second battlefield in Shanghai. Therefore, after the war officially started, the Tokyo side fell into great consternation. It was incredible; and although the Chinese side was "deliberate and long-planned" about this battle, it was also deeply surprised by the "starting method" of this battle, because the Battle of Songhu was initiated by the Japanese.

At 8:12 p.m. on August 9, Jiang Weiguo went to Shanghai Zhonghua Women's Vocational School to look for Liu Wugou.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Colonel Kan Weiyong, head of the 2nd Independent Engineer Regiment of the National Army, sent a secret report to Colonel Zheng Dongguo, head of the 128th Armored Regiment of the National Army: The "Shen" tunnel has been excavated to 30 meters underground in the middle of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai. At the site, vertical excavation is being carried out upwards, and it is estimated that within one and a half hours, the charging chamber will be excavated at the target 15 meters underground.

晚上10时10分，郑洞国命令第128团第6工兵营向“申”字坑道起点秘密运送炸药，同时命令第128团展开全面战备部署。

At 10:15 p.m., Jiang Weiguo and Liu Wugou left the China Women's Vocational School in the same car.

At 10:30 p.m., Rear Admiral Okawachidenchi, commander of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, sent an urgent telegram to Lieutenant General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy's "China Fleet".

At 10:45 in the evening, the messengers of the 128th Regiment arrived at the former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Army of the National Army in Nanxiang Town, Jiading District, Shanghai. Lieutenant General Zhang Zhizhong, the commander of the Army, was informed that the tunnel with the word "Shen" was about to be officially completed and that explosives had been loaded. Work, and then ordered the main force of the Ninth Army assembled in Suzhou to move to Shanghai in batches.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the armored cruiser Izumo, the armored cruiser Iwate, and the destroyers Minekaze, Sawakaze, Okikaze, Shimakaze, Yakaze, and Hakaze belonging to the "Shina Fleet" of the Japanese Navy came from At the estuary of the Yangtze River, it enters the Yangtze River and enters the Huangpu River.

At 11:30 p.m., a Type 94 light tank belonging to the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai suddenly crashed into the construction site of the "Jiangwan Town New Factory of China National Products Corporation" located along the Huangpu River in the suburbs of Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District, Shanghai.

"What's going on?" When the characteristic sound of tank tracks crushing the road came from the night, the engineers in the factory area disguised as workers, and the infantrymen and agents who were on guard outside the factory area and also disguised as workers Surprised, several searchlight beams shone in unison, and the officers and soldiers were surprised to see a Japanese Type 94 tank rushing towards it like a wild boar.

The Type 94 tank is a very typical Japanese iron-clad chariot. It weighs less than three and a half tons, and its armor is surprisingly thin. It can only "bully" enemy infantry on the battlefield, and it is an infantry without heavy weapons. The tank gun will be smashed to pieces immediately, but because this tank is small and light, its speed and maneuverability are good, with a maximum speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

At this time, the Type 94 tank was racing like a violent racing car, rushing towards the gate of the factory in a rampage.

"What? Japanese tanks? Is the Japanese attacking?" The infantry commander in charge of protecting the factory area is Captain Lu Shengwu, the commander of the 128st company of the 1st Battalion of the 1th Regiment. This 25-year-old young officer is from a family of overseas Chinese in Fujian. After being in trouble, he resolutely returned to China to join the army and graduated from the seventh phase of the Nanjing Central Military Academy.

This afternoon, following Zheng Dongguo's order, Lv Shengwu led more than 380 elite infantrymen from the first company to the factory area to take charge of the final stage of protection work. He knew that this task was very important, so he did not dare to take it lightly and was always on guard alert.

At this time, seeing a Japanese tank rushing over suddenly, the already tense nerves of Lu Xingwu and the officers and soldiers had to be almost broken. For other Japanese troops, this is obviously not an attack.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xingwu was terrified and furious. He judged that the Japanese tank was not launching an attack. In addition, "the time has not come", he must not order to fire back, and the Japanese tank was just charging. Come here, without firing a shot (the weapon of this tank is a light machine gun, no tank gun), but he can't let the opponent rush in, but it is not easy to block it, so he is here. Feel at a loss for ten seconds.

"Company commander, look!" a soldier shouted anxiously.

Lu Xingwu raised his eyes hastily, and he saw that a Japanese military vehicle followed closely behind the Japanese tank, and there were seven or eight Japanese soldiers with live ammunition sitting in the vehicle. in Chinese:

"Don't fire! Please don't fire! Misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! Chinese workers, the driver of the tank is Sergeant Miura of our Marine Corps. His wife just died in a car accident in China. His spirit was hit. He drank a lot of wine. So insane, driving the tank out of the barracks.

Please don't open fire!It was just an accident!We are willing to bear all the responsibilities and compensations! "

"What? An accident?" Lu Shengwu and other officers and soldiers were furious.

"Company commander, what should we do?" The soldiers looked at Lu Xingwu.

The heavy machine gunners of the first company are already ready to go. To deal with this Type 94 tank of the Japanese army, using anti-aircraft guns is simply flattering it, and using a machine gun can smash its so-called armor that is as fragile as cardboard.

Lu Shengwu gritted his teeth: "Don't fight! Get out of the way!" The reason why he ordered not to fight, in addition to the concerns of preventing accidents and sabotaging the plan, there is another very important reason, that is, officers and soldiers are not allowed to use weapons.

This construction site is only for civilian use. If there are Chinese soldiers armed with ordnance disguised as workers, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the Japanese that there is a problem here?

Amidst the screams, cursing, and shouts of the officers and soldiers, the Japanese Type 94 tank drove straight in, slammed into the factory site, and did not stop, but turned around like a headless chicken in the factory area. Randomly driving, in fact, this tank did not drive aimlessly, it deliberately drove into the depths of the factory area to spy on the secrets of the factory area.

After seeing this scene, Lu Shengwu suddenly realized that he might have been fooled by the Japanese and fell into the trap of the Japanese.

"Stop it! Stop them!" Lu Shengwu shouted sweating, and he ordered the officers and soldiers to stop the tank in the factory area, and at the same time stop the Japanese army on the Japanese military vehicle driving to the gate of the factory area.

Officers and soldiers disguised as workers, dressed in workers' uniforms and without weapons in their hands rushed forward. Some officers and soldiers formed a human wall at the door to block the approaching Japanese military vehicles, while others surrounded the Japanese tank that was rampaging in the factory area. People without weapons naturally couldn't block the tank with their flesh and blood. What's more, according to the Japanese side, "the Miura Sergeant in the tank is already mentally abnormal because of the pain of losing his wife and excessive drinking."

It's hard to stop a psycho who drives a car all over the street, let alone a psycho who drives a tank.

The officers and soldiers ran here and there with shovels and hoes, steel pipes and iron rods, shouting and roaring, but the Miura Sergeant who drove the tank ignored them, ignored them, and continued to drive the tank around, even driving to the building at the beginning of the tunnel. nearby.

Lv Shengwu was sweating coldly. He felt that he had made a stupid mistake of leading a wolf into the house: "Brothers! Stop him! Stop him quickly!" Dozens of officers and soldiers ran around the tank, but there was no way to stop it.

In a hurry, Lu Xingwu took an iron pipe, rushed forward without hesitation, climbed onto the tail of the tank, and then beat the steel shell of the tank with the iron pipe: "Damn it! The little Japan inside! Stop it for me!" !"

"Company commander! Be careful!" "Company commander! It's dangerous!" The surrounding officers and soldiers shouted anxiously.

The picture at this time is like a Spanish bullfight. Lu Shengwu, the "bullfighter", is climbing on the "rough bull".

"Damn it! Stop it for me!" Lu Xingwu was completely red-eyed. He was sure that he had made a big mistake, so he completely disregarded his own safety, swung the iron pipe with both hands, and smashed the shell of the tank with sparks.

The tank made a sharp turn, and Lu Shengwu was caught off guard, and rolled down under the action of inertia. Then, the tank didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and suddenly reversed, and the tracks crushed Lu Shengwu's abdomen.

All the officers and soldiers at the scene were stunned.

Amid the pungent smell of blood, Lu Shengwu's abdomen was as mushy as a basket of smashed tomatoes, his lower body was bloody, his abdominal cavity was completely crushed, his pelvis was crushed, his internal organs flowed horizontally, and blood spurted out. In an instant, a shocking pool of blood was formed.

Lu Xingwu stared, opened his mouth, closed his eyes without saying a word, and was crushed to death by the tank.

For a full half a minute, the scene was completely silent, and all the officers and soldiers remained motionless as if being acupunctured collectively, their eyes staring blankly at the dead and horrified Lu Xingwu.

Sergeant Miura in that tank seemed to realize something. He stopped the tank and opened the hatch of the tank. After seeing that he had run over a Chinese man to death, his face turned pale and he became panicked. While looking around, he looked at the "Chinese workers" around him. In the end, he got into the tank again in a panic, and then tried to drive away to escape.

"Damn it!" Finally, a lieutenant platoon leader was the first to come back to his senses. His eyes were tearful and he spit fire. He shouted, "Brothers! The company commander was run over to death by a Japanese dog!"

The piercing grief and maddening anger caused the officers and soldiers to erupt like a volcano. Their eyes were red and blazing, and they looked at the Japanese tanks that were fleeing in a panic.

If you want to kill an enemy tank that is running away at full speed, it is definitely impossible for a stone.

The officers and soldiers who hated the Japanese tank took out their hidden weapons one after another. Under the dim light, dozens of flames shone together. Amid the deafening sound of shooting, dozens of rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns pointed at the Japanese tank at the same time. The Japanese tanks burst into wild flowers. In the rainstorm of pear-like bullets, the tanks were like glowing hedgehogs shrouded in dense, tight sparks. The weak armor was pitted and full of bullet holes. In the tank cabin, he was sprayed with blood, beaten into a hornet's nest, and even a few grenades flew over. Amidst the thunder and lightning, the tank was blown out of shape and completely scrapped.

"They are the Chinese army! They are not workers!" The Japanese soldiers shouted at the gate of the factory, with surprise and tension in their voices, but also a strange joy.

The military vehicle left the tank directly and ran away at full speed.

Five minutes later, Major General Okawa of the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters grabbed the phone: "China Army! Are you sure it's the China Army? Those workers are all disguised by the China Army? Good! Good!" He put down the phone tremblingly, looking like a patient with a high fever His face was glowing, extreme shock, extreme ecstasy, extreme happiness...Major General Okawa couldn't restrain the boiling emotions in his heart at all.

Major General Okawa knew that his trick of "throwing stones and asking for directions" was a great success. Although he sacrificed a tank, he successfully detected the secrets of the Chinese army.

"Everyone evacuate here immediately!" Major General Okawa shouted to his subordinates after hanging up the phone, "Quick! We can't drag it on any longer! This place is about to explode! Send a telegram to General Hasegawa! Tell him that my guess has been confirmed. It's definitely true!"

At 8:13 a.m. on August 0, the armored cruiser Izumo and Pante, which entered the Huangpu River, attacked the Chinese army's "China National Products Corporation Jiangwan Town" new factory along the Huangpu River in the suburbs of Jiangwan Town, Hongkou District, Shanghai. "The construction site launched a salvo of naval guns.

Since the construction site is to discharge the excavated soil and groundwater into the Huangpu River, the construction site is on the bank of the Huangpu River, less than 8 meters away from the river surface. Therefore, the Izumo and the Iwane can easily and precisely aim at the target. The 203-door 24 The 152mm main naval gun and [-] [-]mm auxiliary naval guns together ejected the soaring flames that pierced the Changhong and the roaring noise that shook the Yangtze River.

Dozens of dazzling white lights shot straight into the night sky on the Huangpu River, and the shock waves from the naval guns were like a hurricane pushing three-dimensional arc-shaped water waves on the river near the Izumo and Iwate, like small steel islands. The surroundings of the two ships were tumbling with waves and rough seas. The overwhelming sea-like artillery shells swept away spider web-like fiery red trails in mid-air, and smashed into the factory site like meteorites. , Buildings, trees, earth and rocks... Immediately, the sky was darkened in the thunderbolt like the sky collapsed, and the whole land was blown upside down.

The factory site covered by the firepower of the Japanese naval guns was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye, the smoke billowed, and no grass grew.

A few hundred meters away, Jiang Weiguo stood outside the car, staring blankly at this scene. Liu Wugou couldn't help but cover his mouth beside Jiang Weiguo. The sky over half of Shanghai and the entire Huangpu River was as red as burning clouds.

Who started the Songhu battle first?This issue has been controversial for a long time after the outbreak of the battle.

On the surface, the war was caused by the Japanese Navy's "China Fleet" suddenly dispatching warships to actively bombard Shanghai. This is obvious to all parties at home and abroad, and the Japanese themselves have to admit it. The responsibility for initiating the war has been pushed to the Japanese. Lieutenant General Zhang Zhizhong, commander of the Ninth Army of the National Army, announced indignantly when he held a press conference for Chinese and foreign reporters on the morning of August 9, "Today at about 8:13 in the morning, the Japanese Without any warning or reason, the Fang warship suddenly and unreasonably bombarded the area along the Huangpu River in Jiangwan Town, Shanghai, with naval guns. More than a thousand civilians were killed and injured, and countless houses and property were destroyed. At the same time, the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai rushed out of the boundary with infantry and tanks and attacked our security regiment's defense line.

Although our side always bears humiliation and retreats in consideration of the overall situation, the matter has come to this point. The Japanese army conspired to provoke a war in Shanghai and tried to repeat the same tricks. At the last moment, there is no hesitation in resisting the enemy and saving the country.

We hereby solemnly declare that since the peace of Shanghai was destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire, and the country that my ancestors managed so poorly was trampled and ravaged by the enemy's iron hooves, we have no choice but to launch a sacred and solemn war of resistance with heroic self-defense determination!"

At the same time, the Japanese side is plausible.

The Japanese side claimed: "The Chinese army has sinister intentions and has been planning for a long time. It vainly tried to dig a tunnel to the underground of the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters in Shanghai and then use explosives to destroy the headquarters and the Japanese personnel in the anti-injury headquarters. The tunnel was closed about three months ago. The construction has been started in secret, which shows that China's intention to provoke the war can be described as deliberate.

From the late night of August 8th to the early morning of August 12th, the Japanese side discovered such a despicable and vicious conspiracy by the Chinese side at the last moment. If the Japanese side remained indifferent, within a few hours, the headquarters building would cease to exist in an earth-shattering explosion. Leading to the tragedy of thousands of deaths.

The Japanese side had no choice but to exercise its natural right of self-defense and take resolute and decisive measures, using warships to bombard the starting point of the Chinese tunnel excavation to defeat the Chinese plot!"

Both sides insisted on their own words and confronted each other, but generally speaking, the reaction from the outside world was the same. Except for the ordinary people in Japan, all parties basically believed in China, and the international reaction believed that "the Japanese are creating a second incident." 'September [-]th Incident' or 'July [-]th Incident'".

The logic is ready-made: first, it is true that the Japanese warship fired first; second, the reason for the Japanese firing is very doubtful, because the Chinese army dug tunnels to kill the Japanese, so the Japanese are the first to strike. This logic seems to be " Because a certain woman was sure that a certain man was going to rape her, she pre-emptively eunuched the other party." It was completely unfounded, and it was obviously unbelievable to put a big hat on the other party's head at once; as for the third and most important point , as we all know, the Japanese like to do the deeds of framing and framing, and thieves shouting to catch the thief. The September [-]th Incident was provoked by the Japanese with this trick. "Naturally, the Japanese repeated their tricks again.

A person or a country full of nonsense, it is rare for a person or country to tell the truth, and no one will believe it. Although the Japanese, who have always been unfaithful, tried their best to defend this matter, but it was useless, and the louder they shouted, the more they were wronged. It seems to be covering up, but in the final analysis, the reply of all parties to the Japanese is: authentic?What do you mean?The Japanese naturally cannot prove their "innocence".

Even after this emergency was reported to Japan, the top Japanese officials had "different opinions". The Japanese military naturally stood on the side of Major General Okawa and Lieutenant General Hasegawa, but the cabinet headed by Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe was totally opposed to it. I don't believe the military's rhetoric, but I have to hide my doubts and dissatisfaction in my heart because of the military's coercion.
