I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

However, many "onlookers who don't know the truth" will not investigate the truth of the matter in depth. They only see the superficial phenomenon of the matter, and they only believe their eyes, so they are filled with righteous indignation and indignation.

Among them, it is very natural for the Japanese to be filled with righteous indignation, and it is also normal for the Westerners to be filled with righteous indignation. After all, what the Westerners like most is to flaunt morality and human rights all day long while making black money. Jiang Weiguo can't understand The strange thing is that the Chinese would be filled with righteous indignation.

Liu Wugou was filled with righteous indignation.

"Did I do something wrong?" Jiang Weiguo was very depressed.

"Of course not!" Liu Wugou was almost furious, "How can you order the killing of Japanese soldiers who have no resistance? This is a blatant crime! Also, how can you order to lock up those innocent Japanese nationals? You still plan to confiscate their property? Jiang Weiguo, you are a soldier! What is the difference between you and a bandit?"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and looked at Liu Wugou with a smile.

Liu Wugou became even more angry, because she felt that Jiang Weiguo's expression and eyes were insulting her, and she was clearly scolding his "crime" righteously. He should be embarrassed and ashamed, but he was careless, foolish, and even Showing the expression and eyes of an adult watching a child misbehaving, this feeling of being underestimated is unacceptable to her.

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Wugou couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Weiguo put away his smile and yawned lazily: "I'm too busy to give you an ideological education class!" He stretched long, because he really didn't sleep all night and all day.

Liu Wugou was not only angry, but also angry, and she trembled with anger.

Jiang Weiguo didn't want to waste time with Liu Wugou, so he waved his hand: "Old Sun! Take our talented Liu to the residential area bombarded by the Japanese warships, and then take her to the military hospital!" He knew, People like Liu Wugou have a common problem in their thinking. They all only care about "great love without bounds" but ignore the suffering of those around them.

Jiang Weiguo was really busy, because after the battle of Shanghai was the battle of Songhu, the Japanese would not give the national army much time to prepare, the elders took a week, and the short ones only took three to five days. Because of their powerful navy, the Japanese army, which had absolute command of the sea, could quickly Send troops from its homeland to Shanghai.

After this fierce battle, although Shanghai is not devastated, it has indeed been greatly damaged. A large area centered on the Japanese Marine Corps Command was reduced to ruins in the fighting between the two armies. Part of the urban area was scorched by the bombardment of Japanese warships, but the whole of Shanghai and even the whole of China was immersed in deep joy and excitement, because the national army won another big victory after the Battle of Pingjin, and the morale of the people was restored. Inspiring.

On the evening of August [-]th, the Nationalist Government announced impatiently and loudly to the whole world:

In the early hours of August [-], the Japanese Marine Corps and fleet stationed in Shanghai, under the command of Rear Admiral Okawachidenchi and Lieutenant Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, blatantly bombarded Jiangwan Town in Shanghai and actively attacked our Shanghai security forces, causing Our side suffered heavy casualties and property losses. We could not bear it and had no way to retreat. We rose up to resist and fought fiercely until this afternoon.

In terms of the army, the national army has killed more than 7600 enemies, captured more than 280 enemies, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment. The commander of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, Major General Okawachi, was killed by the national army; in the navy, the national army successfully sank two Japanese armored ships. The cruiser and 2 destroyers, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy Fleet in China and the commander of the Shanghai Fleet, Admiral Hasegawa Kiyoshi, were killed by the national army.

Just like the news of the victory of the Pingjin Battle spread throughout the country more than a month ago, the whole of China was once again jubilant, and the slogan of the war of resistance must be victorious like the bombardment of the front line, and the morale of the troops heading to Shanghai was greatly boosted. The morale of the various units of the national army that were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army on the Pingjin front line was also greatly boosted.

All the major powers were shocked by the Battle of Shanghai and its results, mainly due to accidents. It was sudden and ended quickly. Before all the powerful countries recovered their senses, the battle ended with the victory of the Chinese army; the second was the result of an unexpected war.

China and Japan are on the verge of war, and China is weak and Japan is strong. This is the consensus of all the powerful countries. However, after the war really broke out, the weak and weak Chinese army won two consecutive impressive victories. At the beginning of the war, there were two consecutive failures. If the first Pingjin battle can be explained by accident or coincidence (the Japanese government and the Japanese military insisted that the reason why the Japanese army stationed in North China "failed" - it was not a failure, because the Japanese side always If you don’t admit that the troops stationed in North China have been completely wiped out by the Chinese army—it’s because they were caught off guard by sneak attacks by the despicable and shameless Chinese army, it’s definitely not that the Japanese army’s combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Chinese army), then the second Shanghai Battle can no longer be said to be Accidental or coincidental, no matter how accidental or coincidental, the probability of two consecutive times is obviously very low. Naturally, all the powerful countries have to be deeply surprised, secretly re-evaluate the national strength and military strength of China and Japan, and then adjust measures according to local conditions Strategies towards China and Japan.

Among the major powers, Germany and the Soviet Union secretly sent congratulatory telegrams to the National Government and Chiang Kai-shek. Hitler and Stalin were very pleased. Hitler was pleased: "China did not disappoint Germany" and "the Chinese army is still very effective , China also has great potential" "In Germany's future wars, China is very likely to be Germany's most important ally"; Stalin was pleased: "China did not let the Soviet Union down" "China should be able to help the Soviet Union contain Japan, Delay Japan, so as to prevent the rear of the Soviet Union from being threatened by Japan."

Germany praised each other, and the Soviet Union celebrated with each other. The reactions and attitudes of the United States, Britain, France, Italy and other countries and the League of Nations were completely consistent. The clichés are nothing more than nonsense such as calling on China and Japan to restrain themselves, expressing deep shock and anxiety at the war.

Jiang Weiguo was not surprised by this. Among the major powers, Germany and the Soviet Union have a long-term vision and strategy, while the United States, Britain, France and Italy are completely short-sighted. In the West, Britain and France have allowed Germany to grow stronger. In the East, the United States has also allowed Japan to become increasingly rampant.

The original history has proved that the United States, Britain and France all ended up reaping the fruits of their own short-term efforts.

After the Battle of Shanghai, since the Chinese army had completely expelled the Japanese army from Shanghai, they could deploy troops openly. In addition to Zhang Zhizhong's 9th Army, Gu Zhutong's 5th Army, Zhang Fakui's 8th Army, and Liu Jianxu's 10th Army The 15th Group Army, Luo Zhuoying's 21th Group Army, Liao Lei's [-]st Group Army and other follow-up troops continued to head towards Shanghai like hundreds of rivers entering the sea. The third theater in charge of fighting against Japan in southern Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province was also officially established. Chiang Kai-shek personally As the commander-in-chief of the war zone, this "royal driver's personal conquest" posture really shows the weight and importance of the Songhu Battle in his heart.

On the morning of August 8, Chiang Kai-shek came to the front line in Shanghai in person, firstly to condolences to the meritorious officers and soldiers, secondly to supervise the battle, and thirdly to make decisions.

Suzhou Lingering Garden, located outside Changmen Gate in Suzhou, is one of the four famous gardens in China. It is said to be the private residence of Sheng Xuanhuai, Minister of Industry in the late Qing Dynasty.

The whole garden is magnificent and exquisite. The winding paths hidden among the bamboo forests, the goldfish swimming in the clear water ponds, and the row upon row of exquisitely carved pavilions and waterside pavilions all show a kind of oriental classical elegance.

However, when Jiang Weiguo came this morning, what he was greeted with was a completely different and severe atmosphere. The whole garden had been sealed off by a large number of guards. The sound of exhausted telephone conversations echoed in the park incessantly. Groups of soldiers in uniform came in and out solemnly, back and forth, all of which indicated a strong atmosphere of war, because this place has been changed to the third park. Headquarters of the theater commander.

Walking into the inner hall of the garden, Jiang Weiguo saw that Chiang Kai-shek was standing in front of a huge map of Shanghai with a smile on his face, listening to the military reports of senior generals such as Gu Zhutong and Zhang Zhizhong, the deputy commanders of the war zone. Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff.

"Wei'er is here?" Seeing Jiang Weiguo entering the door, Chiang Kai-shek immediately greeted with joy, "Come here!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled, and then saluted seven or eight military salutes, because there was a room full of generals, three generals, three lieutenant generals, and two major generals who were responsible for serving tea and passing documents, all of them had military ranks. They were all higher than Jiang Weiguo, a small lieutenant colonel. Of course, except for Bai Chongxi, who never bought Chiang Kai-shek's account, among the generals in the room, none of the other generals dared to belittle Jiang Weiguo.

After some polite greetings, Chiang Kai-shek asked in the tone of a test of Jiang Weiguo: "Wei'er, the Japanese will definitely increase their troops in Shanghai. How do you think the next Shanghai war will be fought?"

Jiang Weiguo shrugged: "How else can we fight? First, anti-landing warfare, then positional warfare, then street fighting, and finally anti-landing warfare!"

Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly: "Tell me about it!"

Jiang Weiguo pointed to the map: "The Japanese army landed on a large scale. Our army will definitely fight against the Japanese army's landing, but this anti-landing war actually has nothing to do with it. In fact, our army is going to give up the beachhead..."

"Why did you give up?" Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly displeased. "If the national army gave up the beachhead at the beginning of the war, wouldn't it be easy for the Japanese army to go ashore and gain a foothold? The Japanese army must be blocked at sea and wiped out as soon as they land. One batch! In this way, the Japanese will have to adopt the lowest-level refueling tactics, and the national army will continue to let the Japanese bleed and exhaust the Japanese's vitality!"

Jiang Weiguo said helplessly: "Wouldn't it be easy for the Japanese army to use naval guns to destroy the troops by gathering them at the seaside or by the river?"

Chiang Kai-shek said confidently: "Not necessarily.

The battle for the beachhead is a three-dimensional war between land, sea and air. Although the national army, navy and air force are weak, they can do a lot.

On the front line of Pingjin, wasn’t the Japanese aviation unit beaten to pieces by the National Army Air Force?And in the Huangpu River battle the night before, wasn't the Japanese fleet also beaten to pieces by the Chinese navy? "

Jiang Weiguo became more and more helpless: "Father, the air force planes are basically fighter jets, and fighter jets can't do anything against warships. As for the navy, torpedo boats are fine for sneak attacks in the offshore or inland rivers. If they really go to the sea to fight recklessly with the Japanese fleet Hit a stone with an egg.

Therefore, the national army has no way to stop the Japanese army on the beach, and can only put the Japanese army on land to fight!" (Two types of aircraft can attack warships, one is a dive bomber that can accurately drop bombs, and the other is a torpedo attack aircraft .

At present, there are dive bombers abroad. Although they were developed for attacking land targets, they can also attack sea targets. As for torpedo attack aircraft, there are only a few models with very primitive and inferior performance abroad, so Jiang Weiguo did not buy them.

It is worth mentioning that although the aircraft at this time had the ability to attack warships, it was not very obvious. Therefore, some high-ranking navies of major powers firmly did not believe that aircraft could sink warships, and then did not believe that aircraft carriers were more important than battleships, such as Japan, the Japanese are still busy building the Yamato at this time.

）

"Doesn't the navy still have submarines?" Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised, he was a complete layman in the navy.

Jiang Weiguo was already unable to complain: "Father, submarines are similar to torpedo boats. They can only play sneak attacks and cannot fight face-to-face warships on the surface. Let alone battleships and cruisers, even when encountering destroyers, submarines are close to death.

Our submarines can only be used to attack Japanese transport ships and merchant ships!" Submarines can only sneak attack unarmed ships, which is common sense in later generations. During World War II in history, the Germans had so many submarines, all of which were used for sneak attacks Allied merchant ships have never been used to attack allied warships.

If a submarine confronts a destroyer head-on, the submarine has almost no hope of killing the destroyer, and the probability of being killed by the destroyer is almost 100%.

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek certainly didn't know this, and even Chen Shaokuan and Ouyang Ge couldn't be sure of this.

The joy on Chiang Kai-shek's face suddenly decreased a lot, because Jiang Weiguo poured a lot of cold water on him. After pondering for a while, he looked at Jiang Weiguo again: "In your opinion, the national army wants to hit the Japanese army hard in the next Shanghai battle. , can only retreat to the city to fight, which is what you call positional warfare and street warfare!"

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo nodded, "These two combat modes are most beneficial to the national army that has no command over the sea and lacks heavy weapons. As long as the command is proper and the soldiers use their lives, the Japanese army will inevitably pay a heavy price, and Shanghai will also become a small Japanese army. Meat grinder!" The implication of Jiang Weiguo's last sentence is: Nanjing is a large meat grinder for the Japanese.

"Second son..." Zhang Zhizhong said with some concern, "Both positional warfare and street warfare require complete fortifications, but before the Shanghai Battle, the national army could not garrison troops in Shanghai, let alone build fortifications. The national army had no fortifications in Shanghai. Yes, right now, a new round of war is imminent, the speed of the Japanese army sending troops from its homeland to Shanghai is very fast, we are very short of time, and cannot make sufficient preparations!"

"Junzuo, there are more than 300 million Chinese people in Shanghai!" Jiang Weiguo said, "The strength of a large number of people is great! We want to 'mobilize the masses' and immediately organize hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people to rush to work day and night. Are we afraid that we will not be able to repair the fortifications?"

Zhang Zhizhong suddenly realized: "Yes, indeed..."

Bai Chongxi said: "Second Young Master, you said that the end of the war was an anti-landing war, you mean Hangzhou Bay?"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Shanghai is surrounded by water on three sides. If the war continues, the national army assembled on the Shanghai battlefield must be as high as hundreds of thousands. The Japanese will inevitably launch a second landing, marching from north to south, encircling and attacking. Hundreds of thousands of national troops are besieged in Shanghai, and if things go wrong, the hundreds of thousands of national troops on the Shanghai battlefield can be forced to abandon Shanghai and move in completely!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Bai Chongxi: "Jiansheng, Wei'er and you can be said to coincide with each other!"

Bai Chongxi smiled slightly and said: "Where, where, the second son is better than me, and I am also deeply inspired by his many insights!"

Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed when he heard this.

After this short meeting, the overall strategic outline of the next Songhu battle was basically determined.

Jiang Weiguo was very pleased, as long as his father, Chiang Kai-shek, stopped committing the old habit of three steps and one idea, the battle would definitely be better than in the original history.

When leaving Lingering Garden, Yang Jiang came to Jiang Weiguo.

"Boss, Boss Shu sent me a telegram!" Yang Jiang handed over a document, "Huang Jun has been arrested, and a spy network headed by Huang Jun has also been destroyed!"

Jiang Weiguo could hear a cold sweat, he thought to himself: "Damn! I almost overlooked a detail.

This Huang Jun had informed the Japanese of Chiang Kai-shek's whereabouts in history. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek was almost killed by a Japanese plane on the way from Nanjing to Shanghai by car.

Lao Tzu has been changing history. If such details are changed to be affected by chaos, and my number one father in the country is really killed by the Japanese, it will be terrible! "He was terrified.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you!" Yang Jiang said, "The person who instigated Huang Jun's rebellion is a very mysterious Japanese female spy, because we have been monitoring Huang Jun a long time ago according to your instructions, this Japanese female spy should be arrested. It was a surprise, so we didn't catch her!"

"It doesn't matter anymore!" Jiang Weiguo disagreed, "Next, you will focus on monitoring Wang Jingwei and his gang!"

[Today is July 7th, don't forget the martyrs who fought bloody battles with foreign invaders to defend our motherland.

Chapter 171 Sea and Air Battle (1)

After the Battle of Shanghai, the pro-Japanese faction and peace faction leaders within the Nationalist Government, headed by Wang Jingwei, president of the Kuomintang, and He Yingqin, minister of military and political affairs, were still not fully determined to fight Japan to the end. To resolve the Sino-Japanese dispute", even Chiang Kai-shek himself has some illusions and hesitation. At the same time, there is also a group of "war-fearing factions" headed by Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro within the Japanese high-level. In spite of this, the overall trend of the Sino-Japanese war is already unstoppable, which is also the confirmation and embodiment of "objective things are not transferred by subjective will".

On August 8, the National Government issued the "Statement of the National Government Self-Defense War of Resistance".

Although this statement was not a formal declaration of war against Japan, it was of the same nature, marking China's formal entry into a state of war against Japanese aggression.

On August 8, Chiang Kai-shek issued a general mobilization order for the whole country.

On August 8, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party joined hands in the war of resistance. The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army (No. 22 Group Army), and the CCP Jiangnan Guerrilla was reorganized into the new Fourth Army.

On the same day, a huge fleet appeared among the thousands of miles of blue waves in the East China Sea. Its size can be described as luxurious. If someone witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes, the Japanese would feel extremely proud and proud from the bottom of their hearts. The Japanese will feel the shock and horror deep into the bone marrow. The entire fleet is like a metal town moving on the sea. The ships are like shuttles, orderly, and the chimneys are like forests. cloud.

The fleet is centered on ten steel island-like warships. These ten giant ships are the essence and pride of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and they are all daunting giants, including six battleships, four aircraft carriers, and six battleships. Including 2 Nagato-class (Nagato, Mutsu) and 4 Kongo-class (King Kong, Hiei, Haruna, Kirishima), the four aircraft carriers are Akagi, Kaga, and Longxiang No., Fengxiang No.

Dozens of cruisers and destroyers surrounded the ten battleships like stars and the moon, and guarded the front, back, left, and right sides of the ten capital ships; behind the fleet were dozens of transport ships full of soldiers and supplies. Hundreds of silvery white spray wakes are like a majestic chess game arranged on the sea.

Wherever the fleet went, the wind was surging, the waves were churning, and the waves were thundering.

On the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, waves of gleaming silver carrier-based aircraft roared and took off continuously, passing over the fleet majestically, guarding the fleet with an air-penetrating phalanx.

On the bow deck of the fleet's flagship Nagato battleship, more than a dozen general-level senior officers of the Japanese army stared at the end of the horizon ahead, waiting for the horizon to appear. Half of the people on the scene were wearing army uniforms and half were wearing navy uniforms. The victim was a haggard, emaciated Japanese army general in his sixties. This person was Iwane Matsui, the commander of the "Shanghai Expeditionary Force" newly established by the Japanese military.

Looking at the thousands of miles of sea and sky in front of him, Matsui Iwane was in a complicated mood. He was deeply moved by the impermanence of fate.

Two full years ago, Matsui Iwane was forced to leave the military and return to the field because he reached the retirement age and was suspected of being killed by Nagata Tieshan. However, during these two years, he did not return to his hometown to support his life, but continued to Active in the Sino-Japanese diplomatic arena, he has visited China many times, visited and lobbied people from all walks of life in China, and advocated the "Great Asia Minorism" that he has always been obsessed with.
