I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Konoe Fumimaro wrote in his diary on the night of August 8: "...the Wanping City incident at the beginning of last month was suspicious on our side, but this time the "tunnel incident" in Shanghai is irrefutably still suspicious on our side. I have sent a lot of so-called evidence, including photos, materials, and so-called "top-secret information" from the Mei and Zhu organs, but I can be sure that this "Shanghai tunnel incident" is clearly the old man who deliberately provoked war again. means.

...The military is getting worse. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant and arbitrary at the beginning of the war, and they don't consult with the cabinet for anything.

…I feel embarrassed, and I feel a little panicked. The military is putting me on the stove.

... "

Seeing with his own eyes that the starting point of the tunnel excavation was bombarded into a sea of ​​flames by the Japanese warships, Jiang Weiguo was stunned by the extreme shock, grief, anger, frustration, and remorse. He knew that there were hundreds of brothers who were covered by the Japanese army's naval guns. After being killed and martyred, and the tunnel destroyed, the next battle can only be a head-to-head battle. This type of battle will inevitably make the current Chinese army pay an extremely heavy price like it did in history. I don’t know how much it will take The Brethren fell under the fire of the Japanese fortifications.

While gnashing his teeth and heart in pain, Jiang Weiguo felt even more confused: "How could this happen? How did the Japanese find out? Isn't it already kept absolutely secret? Why did they still leak the news? What went wrong?" He felt extremely confused. Not reconciled, but also an extreme sense of frustration, he clenched his fists, trembling all over, his eyes were red, and tears flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Wei..." Sun Tao asked in a trembling voice, "What should we do next?"

"Let's go!" Jiang Weiguo gritted his teeth and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, "Go back to the regiment department!"

"What about Miss Liu?" Sun Tao gestured to Liu Wugou who was next to him.

"Send two people to take her back to school!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, he looked at Liu Wugou, "You see, the war in Shanghai has already begun, you don't want to stay in Shanghai anymore, and the teachers and students in your school, Inform them to evacuate from Shanghai together, to Wuhan or Chongqing!"

Liu Wugou nodded with a pale face, but did not follow Jiang Weiguo's arrangement: "I want...I want to go to the army with you, I want to see...see you bravely fighting the enemy..."

Jiang Weiguo didn't have time to dawdle with Liu Wugou: "You can do whatever you want!" He told Sun Tao, "Drive!"

Ten minutes later, Jiang Weiguo returned to the regiment headquarters of the 10th Regiment. The atmosphere in the regiment headquarters had completely changed. Zheng Dongguo and others were holding back their extreme grief and disappointment and were busy.

The whole regiment is running at full speed like a clockwork machine, and each department is gathering, setting off, and preparing for battle in its own right.

Since the tunnel was top secret, except for a very few officers who knew about it, most officers and soldiers did not know about it.

On the wide runway of Hongqiao Airport, tanks and military vehicles flew like flying, the ground trembled, hundreds of bright car lights illuminated the night sky at the airport as bright as day, noisy and dense footsteps roared like thunder, and loud passwords sounded one after another. The officers and soldiers with live ammunition gathered into long winding dragons, countless steel helmets shone densely with light spots under the light and moonlight, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

On the runway of the airport were parked planes that were also ready to go. The pilots of the Air Force watched the army officers and soldiers about to go to the battlefield and cheered one after another.

It was late at night, and planes were unlikely to participate in the battle. The pilots had to wait until dawn before they could join the battle.

"Brothers!" On a high platform by the airport, Zhang Lingfu shouted with fire in his eyes, "The time has come to kill the enemy and serve the country!"

The officers and soldiers shouted like a tsunami and roared like thunder, because the morale of the troops was extremely high and their fighting spirit was high.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Weiguo felt very guilty, because if the tunnel blasting plan was successful, the soldiers in front of him would die a lot less, but it failed. Fortunately, the tunnel was not public, otherwise the officers and soldiers knew the plan After already losing, morale will definitely take a hit.

In addition to the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment, the Shanghai Municipal Security Corps (two regiments), the chief and deputy chiefs Ji Zhangjian and Sun Tianfang have also arrived.

Knowing the failure of the tunnel blasting plan, the two sighed deeply and regretted endlessly.

"It's useless to regret it!" Ji Zhangjian lit a cigarette fiercely, "Let's do it with the real knife and gun of the dog day!"

"At least five hundred brothers are gone!" Kan Weiyong said with tears in his eyes.

The failure of the tunnel blasting plan, no one is more painful than Kan Weiyong, and his engineering troops suffered heavy casualties (at the same time, many infantry guards and agents of the Maritime Bureau were also killed by the firepower of the Japanese naval guns), and the most let To his pain, many engineers and soldiers were buried alive in the tunnel.

Jiang Weiguo patted Kan Weiyong on the shoulder: "It's not the fault of you and the engineering troops!" In fact, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Jianhao!" Zheng Dongguo ran over in a hurry, "Junzuo's phone number!"

Jiang Weiguo rushed to the regiment headquarters, picked up the phone, and Zhang Zhizhong's trembling voice came from the microphone: "Failed?"

"Yes..." Jiang Weiguo's voice trembled, "It failed.

Right now, we can only attack..."

"Jianhao..." Zhang Zhizhong said in a low voice, "The chairman... sent the latest order... let's... suspend the attack..."

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Zhizhong sighed for a long time: "The thing is like this. This afternoon, the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai urgently summoned the Shanghai diplomatic mission that supervised the implementation of the '[-]' armistice agreement, and asked the representatives of the government and the diplomats from the United States, Britain, France, and Italy. Mayor Yu is negotiating with him to accuse us of violating the provisions of the agreement, unilaterally entering Shanghai, digging tunnels, and conspiracy. Contradictions and disputes in Shanghai.

This sudden situation, the chairman... is a little hesitant, so he plans to cancel our army's preemptive strike plan in Shanghai..."

"Bullshit!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear it anymore, "The arrow is on the string, and we have to fire! The Japanese are obviously playing with delaying tactics by doing this!"

The Songhu Anti-Japanese War five years ago ended on the surface with "a tie between China and Japan". In fact, China suffered a great loss of interests. Since then, China has been unable to station troops in the Chinese city of Shanghai. The purpose of diverting international attention from the September [-]th Incident was also achieved, so China was the loser.

The final outcome of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War was the signing of the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" by China and Japan, which was implemented by the United States, Britain, France and Italy as supervisors.

Right now, the Japanese are noticing that the regular army of the Chinese army has entered Shanghai disguised as a security force, and at the same time they are aware of the tunnel. Therefore, they have pulled out the governments of the United States, Britain, France and Italy to put pressure on the Nationalist government. The purpose of course is not to maintain peace, but to delay. The time allowed Japan to increase its troops from the mainland to Shanghai to gain a buffer time. The United States, Britain, France, and Italy did not dare to offend Japan, so they sacrificed China's interests again.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the four countries suggested that the Chinese government change Shanghai into an undefended city. On the surface, "Shanghai is an undefended city, and the Japanese army cannot attack it." In fact, once the Japanese attack Shanghai (the Japanese like to do this Such treachery and non-compliance with the treaty), Shanghai must be occupied by the Japanese without bloodshed. At that time, the governments of the four countries should be responsible for the occupation of Shanghai in China by the Japanese army, but will the four countries be responsible?Certainly not!Can the four countries let the Japanese army spit out of Shanghai?Certainly not!The four countries will [-]% pretend to be deaf and dumb at that time, while China will be dumb and eat coptis. Before brazenly bragging, "Don't worry, brother, this matter is on your brother", and put on a coaxing look like I am covering you. After the accident, it is simply irresponsible to shirk responsibility and rub the soles of your feet).

To put it bluntly, in order to maintain their own interests, the four countries sacrificed China's interests to feed the appetite of the Japanese.

What made Jiang Weiguo hate his teeth the most was that his father, Chiang Kai-shek, actually believed in the commitment of the four countries, sacrificing military interests for political purposes that had no hope at all.

"Jianhao..." Zhang Zhizhong paused, with a subtle meaning in his tone, "You mean..."

"The original plan remains unchanged!" Jiang Weiguo said firmly, "Fight!"

Zhang Zhizhong was silent and did not speak.

"Junzuo!" Jiang Weiguo said solemnly and honestly, "If you listen to the promise of the Four Kingdoms to fill your hunger with cakes, the Japanese will have time to increase their troops, and we will become victims of international powers! In this war in Shanghai, we are almost inferior to the Japanese in everything." , the only advantage is pre-emptive strikes, but after listening to the nonsense of the four countries, what should we do? We will watch the Japanese increase their troops to Shanghai on a large scale, and watch the Japanese make sufficient preparations. When the time comes, the purpose of the Japanese If we reach it, we will suddenly turn our backs and deny the account, and the four countries must be as dishonest as Guisun, and we will be the biggest losers! Junzuo, we must stop and suffer from it! Fight! Fight now, we There is still a chance of winning! If we delay and fight again, we will definitely lose!"

Zhang Zhizhong smiled wryly: "This is your father's order! If we fight, we will be disobedient..."

Jiang Weiguo's tone was firm: "What are you afraid of?" He immediately understood Zhang Zhizhong's subtle worries, so he said very sincerely, "Jun Zuo, if you really investigate after the incident, I will share the same difficulties with you!" Jiang Weiguo and Zhang Zhizhong resisted orders No respect, Chiang Kai-shek pursued it afterwards, Jiang Weiguo was sure that nothing happened, and Zhang Zhizhong was determined to be blamed.

"Jianhao, you underestimate me!" Zhang Zhizhong smiled openly, "For the benefit of the country, personal gains and losses are simply insignificant! Good! Let's start! Everything is according to the original plan!"

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo's eyes turned hot. He knew that the first thing Zhang Zhizhong did after he was appointed as the commander of the Ninth Army was to write a suicide note to his family.

The entrenched area of ​​the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai takes the Marine Corps Headquarters as the core and main position, and includes the area from Huishan Wharf through Wusong Road, North Sichuan Road to Jiangwan Road, winding like a long snake. Therefore, the Military Commission originally planned to It is: choose the waist to concentrate firepower to break through, cut off the waist so that the head and tail cannot be seen together, and finally break down one by one. However, due to the strong firepower of the 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment, after repeated studies, Zheng Dongguo and Jiang Weiguo's opinion: capture the thief first, capture the king first, destroy the enemy first, and attack the Marine Corps headquarters directly. The 128th Regiment and the 14th Artillery Regiment are the core backbone, and the First Security Regiment and the Second Security Regiment are responsible for the two wings.

As we all know, the July [-]th Incident, the Battle of Pingjin and even the entire Anti-Japanese War broke out at the Lugou Bridge on the Yongding River, and the first shot of the Songhu Battle was also fired on a bridge. This bridge is located at the junction of Hongkou District and Zhabei District in Shanghai. At the intersection of Liuying Road, Tongxin Road, and Shuidian Road, it forms a "Y" shape, known as the Bazi Bridge.

The Bazi Bridge is the transportation hub in this area. During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War five years ago, it was the focus of contention between the Chinese and Japanese armies. The bridge itself was also destroyed in fierce fighting. After the war, the Bazi Bridge was rebuilt. The structure is reinforced concrete. It is not ugly through the map. It is clear that the Chinese army can attack the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters after crossing this bridge. At the same time, this bridge is also guarding the throat of Shanghai North Railway Station.

It stands to reason that the Bazi Bridge was not an area occupied by the Japanese army before the war, and the Chinese army could easily control it. However, in order to cover up the tunnel blasting plan and not to startle the snake, the national army deliberately did not take action until the last moment. The land was not seized by the national army before the war. Naturally, when the national army rushed to the Bazi Bridge, the bridge had already been occupied by the Japanese army.

When the Japanese realized that the Chinese army was about to attack, they reacted very quickly. On the one hand, they were waiting for the attack, and on the other hand, they seized important areas around the headquarters.

8月13日凌晨1时40分，第128团呼啸向八字桥。

The great Shanghai in its sleep was awakened by the flames of war. The bombardment of the Japanese Izumo and Iwate had awakened the entire Shanghai Bund. Under the night, Shanghai was suddenly transformed into a place where 300 million Chinese residents and tens of thousands of foreigners were caught off guard. on the front line of the battlefield.

On the Huangpu River, the Japanese fleet braved the wind and waves, cruising vertically and horizontally, and the fierce naval guns pointed at the land, shooting out flames from time to time, making Shanghai shrouded in bursts of lightning and thunder. , Over the Japanese-controlled area, the searchlights were brightly lit, the lights were brightly lit, and the Japanese shouts rang out, and the Japanese soldiers who took up their weapons methodically rushed to various positions that had been prepared long ago.

In the bunker, a cannon and a machine gun were all loaded with shells and bullets.

In the regiment headquarters of the 128th regiment, Jiang Weiguo put on his helmet and picked up his submachine gun with a solemn and silent expression. He smiled bitterly in his heart: "The Japanese are really difficult to deal with! I have worked so hard on the plan for so long, but I didn't expect it... alas!"

Sun Tao, Yang Mei and other guards were also armed one after another. Liu Wugou stared blankly at the side, and she looked at Jiang Weiguo with incredulous eyes: "You...you..."

"What about me?" Jiang Weiguo smiled helplessly when the phone rang.

Jiang Weiguo picked up the phone: "Jun Zuo, the troops have been dispatched..."

"Wei'er, what are you doing?" There was a voice on the phone that surprised Jiang Weiguo, because this call was made directly from Nanjing by Chiang Kai-shek.

"Father?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback.

"Let your troops back!" Chiang Kai-shek was shocked, angry and anxious, "Zhang Zhizhong didn't listen to my order! I knew it was your fault! Weier, don't mess around! This is a big deal! The United States, Britain, France and Italy The government has formally lodged protests and representations with the Japanese government, and there may be a turning point for the Shanghai Incident..."

"Father!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear it anymore, "We have no retreat! We must fight! We can't fall into the Japanese's plan to slow down our troops!"

"You nonsense!" Chiang Kai-shek smoked, "You...you...Wei'er!" His tone was very severe and exasperated, "Do you think that father really won't punish you? So you have nothing to fear?"

"Father..." Jiang Weiguo smiled, "If I win, how will you punish me?"

"What if we lose?" Chiang Kai-shek was completely outraged.

"We lost?" Jiang Weiguo grinned, "Maybe I will die in Shanghai, how can you punish me?"

"You..." Chiang Kai-shek was almost speechless with anger.

"Father..." Jiang Weiguo said sincerely, "Our China is very weak and has always been the fish of the big powers, so we must be self-reliant! We have to rely on ourselves! The United States, Britain, France, and Italy are all fucking unreliable! We want to defeat Japan, We can only rely on ourselves! We don't need to look at other countries to act! Father, believe me, we will win!"

The phone fell silent, and a few minutes later, Chiang Kai-shek's sigh came from the microphone: "Wei'er, be careful!"

"Father, don't worry, I'm going to the front!" Jiang Weiguo hung up the phone.

"Brother Wei, let's go!" Sun Tao stepped forward.

Jiang Weiguo nodded, strode out of the regiment headquarters, and climbed into his luxurious limited-edition special-edition No. [-] tank.

The Bazi Bridge not far away was already thundering with lightning and raging like a flame. The sound of guns, guns and shouts of the attacking Chinese soldiers and the defending Japanese army resounded like a storm.

Section 165 Blasting (5)

There are more than one Bazi Bridge, one in the east and one in the east, which are called the East Bazi Bridge and the West Bazi Bridge.

Right now, the two bridges have all turned into a whirlpool of blood and fire. The sounds of Chinese shouting and killing, Japanese howling, gunshots like raindrops, thunderous shelling and explosions all went straight through Changhong along with the soaring flames. Mixed with the panicked shouts, screams, and cries of the nearby residents, the sky was like before a thunderstorm with continuous thunder and lightning. Moment of the figure-of-eight bridge.

Jiang Weiguo raised his binoculars, and he saw hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles whizzing away in a long steel dragon under the bright light of day, followed by thousands of infantry, launching a charge and attack, and the artillery regiment quickly formed behind the line of fire Heavy artillery positions.

Amidst the deafening roar, waves of large-caliber artillery shells pierced through the air like a meteorite rain toward the Japanese positions.

The artillery group of the Artillery Regiment deliberately did not bombard the figure-of-eight bridge itself, because the bridge has a lot of uses.

"The bridge can't be blown up!" Zheng Dongguo pointed at the map in the former enemy headquarters, "If the bridge is blown up, our tanks won't be able to pass through the Yokohama River (the diversion of Hongkou Port at the Bazi Bridge)!"

"Can some infantry be dispatched to swim across the river and go around to the rear of the Japanese army to attack or contain them?" Qiu Zhiji suggested.

"It's too much!" Huang Baitao disagreed, "The Japanese army also hastily fortified the Bazi Bridge. There are no heavy weapons and no firepower strongholds. Our army can completely attack and seize the bridge!"

"That's right!" Zhang Lingfu said excitedly, "As long as the troops maintain their firepower when attacking, they can do it in one go! There is no need to resort to roundabout raids or the like.

Our regiment is so elite, and there is a heavy artillery regiment to help out, if we can't even knock down a small bridge, it's a joke!Rampage, quick fight! "

Jung Dong-kook nodded in agreement.

At the head of the Bazi Bridge, the tanks rolled forward rolling over the scorched earth, and the mechanized infantry used the tanks as cover to charge forward.

Jiang Weiguo's tank was also in the attacking unit, but it was not at the front, but beside the infantry unit. While the tank was driving in circles and "walking in place", Jiang Weiguo in the tank carefully emerged from the hatch , Cheer and cheer for the officers and soldiers in the charge.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo was not putting on airs. He was boosting morale. Seeing that Jiang Weiguo was also on the front line, the morale of the officers and soldiers was naturally boosted. It’s better than the regiment leader Zheng Dongguo. The reasons needn’t be said. In addition, Jiang Weiguo doesn’t need to go to the front line. He is afraid of death. This is human nature, and he can’t die. Bigger and more contributions.
