In the extreme chaos, I suddenly heard a few dull explosions from the noisy people around me, there was a loud noise of water splashing into the air, and there was also the roar of raging fire.

'oops!The Fengxiang was shot! 'Someone shouted in panic, I hurriedly looked, and sure enough, I saw a very painful picture, the Fengxiang was desperately walking a 'z'-shaped route on the sea to avoid it, and the Chinese army planes attacking it were like vicious wolves and poisonous bees Bombs were constantly being thrown, and three huge water jets soared into the sky around the sea surface of the Fengxiang, and two equally huge fireballs went straight up to the sky on the flight deck of the Fengxiang, like two soaring fire dragons rising from the body of the Fengxiang. When I got out, countless fragments were flying around the fireball. I clearly saw a plane and several crew members of Fengxiang flying helplessly in mid-air, and finally fell into the sea water. The flight deck was shattered like a tortoise shell, and two terrifying large holes were exposed in the billowing black smoke. The inside of the big hole was like the crater of Mount Fuji that was about to erupt, and the red light was shining, and branches radiated from each big hole. Such cracks made the entire flight deck completely scrapped.

At the same time, the Ryujo was also shot. A bomb hit its flight deck like a shell from the air, and then exploded violently. The air wave composed entirely of fire directly overturned half of the flight deck.

We were all dumbfounded, this is a completely unimaginable scene, the aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy was beaten up like this by the planes of the Chinese Army... Just when I was still dumbfounded, someone suddenly used a heart-piercing, Almost twisted into my ear and shouted 'Enemy!Dive and drop bombs right above! '

These words made me chill from body to bone as if I had fallen into an ice hole. I hurriedly raised my head and saw a scene that made my hair stand on end. Eight Chinese army planes were right above the Akagi, four of them This is a bomber, I can see clearly, this is a very strange aircraft, the dive angle is unbelievably large, close to [-] degrees, and it is almost vertically falling, like a stone thrown from high altitude. Free fall, in a trance, I even felt that the four Chinese bombers had been shot down and were crashing, but there was no smoke coming from the fuselage.

Later I learned that this kind of bomber is called 'Stuka', and it was sold by the Germans to the Chinese, damn the Germans!Using the cover of the clouds, the four Stukas quietly flew directly above the Akagi, and then launched a straight dive to drop bombs. This 12-degree vertical bombing method has an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that the bomb hit rate is extremely high The downside is that the aircraft is easily concentrated by the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery fire below because it does not do evasive actions during the dive. Amid the deafening roar and the flash of stars and lightning, Akagi's 120 28mm anti-aircraft guns and 25 [-]mm anti-aircraft guns The anti-aircraft guns were firing desperately into the air. One of the four Stukkas was hit by the gunfire and exploded in the air, and the other was damaged by the gunfire, the left wing was shattered, and the plane immediately lost its balance. Skimming over the aircraft carrier, one plunged into the sea, and the other two successfully dropped their bombs. These two Stukas shook off the bomb hooks under the belly of the machine, and then swept away. The four heavy bombs dropped by them each The [-]-kilogram aerial bomb broke away from the plane at the same time and fell from the sky to the Akagi.

During the split second or two, many people and I were frozen and motionless, staring blankly at the four bombs that were falling rapidly on the Akagi. They were very fast, like four black streaks. I felt the blood rushing to the top of my head and freezing, a bomb passed by the Akagi, fell on the nearby sea and exploded like a mountain of water, a large amount of seawater was blown into the air Half of the Akagi was soaked, and we were all chilled. We were still in a daze, because in the dull shock of the aircraft carrier, three circular holes suddenly appeared on the flight deck, and the three bombs hit The Chicheng, the impact generated by the high-speed kinetic energy made them easily penetrate the flight deck, and went directly into the second-floor hangar or even the bilge.

In the very short time before the bomb exploded, we were still motionless as if we were being acupunctured, and we all stared at the three holes dumbfounded. My mind was completely stagnant. In a hole, everyone else around had the same expression and the same movements, with their mouths wide open and eyes wide open, staring straight at them, like a group of puppets, without even breathing, as if time had stopped.

Later I realized that it was because we were all 'frozen' because of extreme fear. We couldn't believe it, let alone imagine it, and even hoped that the three bombs were all duds and wouldn't explode.

For a split second, I thought our prayers had worked and the three bombs really didn't go off, but I knew it was just a delusion.

I don't know how long it took, it felt like a lifetime away, and then, a light flashed in front of my eyes, and the extremely dazzling yellow-red flooded my field of vision in an instant, accompanied by the loud noise of thunder exploding in my ears and various Heart-piercing screams, buzzing in both ears, soon temporarily deaf, hurricane-like scorching air waves swept over with unstoppable force, the entire Akagi was shaken like a magnitude [-] earthquake The mountain shook, the whole ship trembled violently, and the surrounding sea was shaken by a circle of surging waves. A group of extremely huge and extremely terrifying fireballs roared angrily in the middle of the aircraft carrier, like a volcanic eruption, red and yellow fireballs It rushed up to a height of several hundred meters, and then turned into a huge black smoke column. Countless fragments and hundreds of intact or incomplete living people danced around the fireball smoke column, and most of the flight deck of the aircraft carrier was blown to pieces. , the hangar on the second floor is even more horrible, the deck is a mess, the carrier-based aircraft parked on it were blown to pieces or burned, and several were overturned into the sea by the blast wave, blood dripping everywhere We watched this scene in dismay, and the original majestic body of the Akagi was beyond recognition.

... "

"Okay!" Seeing this scene on the sea, the pilots in the Chinese military fleet were all extremely excited and gave carnival cheers. Liu Cuigang, the captain of the 24th Squadron of the Air Force who led the team, even burst into tears: "Brothers! Well done ! Everyone performed very well! Each team immediately reported the hit results!"

"The Akagi is confirmed to have been hit by three bombs! My team still has six bombs that have not been dropped!"

"The Kaga has been confirmed to have been hit by five bombs! My team has dropped all the bombs!"

"The Ryujō is sure to have been hit with three bombs! My team still has four bombs that have not been dropped!"

"Fengxiang is confirmed to have been hit by four bombs! My team still has two bombs that have not been dropped!"

The four team leaders quickly reported on the radio, and the entire attack formation was divided into four teams, with a clear division of labor to attack the four Japanese aircraft carriers.

This is Jiang Weiguo's instruction. If "injuring ten fingers is worse than breaking one", the aircraft fleet must concentrate on attacking one of the Japanese aircraft carriers. attack.

"Everyone has worked hard!" Liu Cuigang made a prompt decision, "Listen to my order now! The first team will continue to attack the Akagi! The second, third and fourth teams will concentrate on attacking the Fengxiang!" His order was very correct. The full-load displacement of the Kaga reached 3.4 tons, and the Akagi only suffered three bombs, which was not serious enough to cause serious injuries. Further blows must be launched to allow it to return to Japan for a proper overhaul as long as possible, while the Kaga It has already suffered five bombs, and it is indeed seriously injured. There is no need to attack again to waste bombs; Longxiang has a full-load displacement of 1.25 tons. It is only a light aircraft carrier. Three bombs are enough for it to go back for overhaul and special repairs. It is only a light aircraft carrier, and the four bombs it endured made it almost fatal. Since the fleet still has a surplus of bombs, it is naturally the best to try to sink a Japanese aircraft carrier. Under such circumstances, the one with the smallest tonnage and the most serious injuries Fengxiang is of course the best choice.

It is worth mentioning that the 40 Stukas of the National Army's attack fleet carried a total of 80 bombs. After deducting the remaining 12 bombs, a total of 15 bombs hit the Japanese ship. Objectively speaking, the bomb hit rate is indeed not high, but this It is inevitable, because the pilots of the Stuka aircraft of the National Army have only conducted bombing training on land targets before, and have not received bombing training on launching bombs on sea targets. Attacking sea targets and attacking land targets After all, there is a big gap. For example, enemy warships will continue to evade and dodge, and waves and sea winds will also interfere with the impact. After all, Liu Cuigang and other pilots have done their best. In the face of great danger, they dived desperately in the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower network without dodging, and were finally destroyed by the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower.

In the sky of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation billowing with smoke, the brave and fearless Stuka fleet of the national army once again launched a fierce attack.

Five minutes later, the Akagi was hit by a bomb again, which almost shattered the entire bow. Eight minutes later, another bomb successfully hit the Akagi, completely shattering the flight deck of the Akagi. At the same time, because The Fengxiang was extremely injured and lost its power, and was paralyzed on the sea because of it. It suffered three bombs in a row. The entire aircraft carrier collapsed amidst lightning and thunder. The whole ship fell apart and was submerged in a monstrous fire .

Just 15 minutes later, the Japanese Navy's first aircraft carrier and the world's first regular aircraft carrier, the Fengxiang number, suffered a total of seven bombs, the hull was shattered, and the ship sank about three kilometers away from the mouth of the Yangtze River. , more than 550 of the 200 crew members of the ship were killed (the world's first aircraft carrier was the British Navy's Fury or the Hundred-Eyed Giant, but these two aircraft carriers were converted from cruisers or merchant ships, and the Japanese Navy's Fengxiang It is the first formal aircraft carrier designed with aircraft carrier specifications in its design.

).

When the Hosho turned into a huge vortex and debris floating on the sea, the Akagi, Kaga, and Ryujō were fleeing with their heads in their arms, and the three aircraft carriers were devastated and smoke billowed. The five, five, and three bombs suffered severely damaged the three warships, and the flight decks were blown to pieces, making it impossible to take off or land carrier-based aircraft. As aircraft carriers, these three warships no longer have combat effectiveness.

After returning to Japan limping and embarrassed, the Akagi and Kaga were overhauled for more than half a year, and the Ryujo was also overhauled for a full five months.

On the first day of the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Air Force made brilliant contributions to the motherland's war of resistance, sank a light aircraft carrier of the Japanese army, severely damaged two heavy aircraft carriers and a light aircraft carrier of the Japanese army, and lost 41 aircraft in this battle ( 28 Stukas and 13 bf-109s), a total of 37 pilots died for the country.

The Japanese army was extremely unfavorable in the Battle of Songhu, and the aircraft carrier fleet was severely damaged and repelled. As a result, the Japanese army basically lost air supremacy in the ensuing battle, and could only rely on land-based aircraft from Taiwan and Kyushu Island for limited assistance.

The reason behind the Chinese Air Force's victory is the same as that of the Chinese Navy. The real hero behind the scenes is actually Jiang Weiguo. Of course, few people can realize this, and Jiang Weiguo doesn't care about it, because he is not trying to make a name for himself. .

Chapter 179 Fierce Battle at Wusongkou (1)

In the last trench fortification on the front line of Wusongkou, Jiang Weiguo concentrated on holding up the binoculars, admiring with relish the battle situation in the frontier battle zone a few kilometers away (Jiang Weiguo took the lead in the battle of Wanping City, and after that he seldom visited the front line in person, let alone personally In battle, he is very afraid of death and will not show his bravery, the reason is needless to say, he wants to save his life and make more and greater contributions to the motherland).

At the beginning, Jiang Weiguo felt relieved and relieved his anger and hatred, but gradually, a "different feeling" appeared in his heart, which made him full of emotion.

"It's obvious that you can play so well! Why did you play so badly in the original history?" Jiang Weiguo sighed.

At this time, on the Wusongkou battlefield, the morale of the national army was like a rainbow, the defense line was as immovable as a mountain, the morale of the Japanese army was low, and the offensive was repeatedly frustrated. In terms of the overall situation, although it cannot be said that the national army is suppressing the Japanese army, it is indeed the national army that occupies a large area. Great advantage.

In the continuous artillery fire, the Japanese army swept across the mountains and plains to the national defense line again and again, and tried to penetrate the flank of the national defense line many times, but these offensives of the Japanese army were smashed and disintegrated like a stormy wave hitting a rock.

The national army positions that stretched for tens of kilometers continuously blasted out waves of powerful firepower nets composed of bullets, artillery shells, grenades, and mines. Go up, and then keep going back, every time you go back, you will leave bloodstains all over the battlefield, wounded soldiers howling or wriggling among the bloodstains, and dead bodies in strange shapes, the bloody wind whistling in the rain of bullets, The Japanese tanks destroyed by the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft guns of the national army collapsed on the battlefield until they turned into scorched metal wreckage. The Japanese armored soldiers inside were burned into charcoal-like charred corpses. And blood-stained Japanese helmets, fragmented firearms and weapons, and dilapidated sun flags.

The wounded Japanese soldiers who fell on the battlefield were in the most miserable situation. One by one, their hands and feet were broken, their blood flowed profusely, or their tendons were broken. While being tortured to death by excruciating physical pain, while enduring extreme psychological pain, fear, despair, and resentment, they let out waves of wailing and moaning like ghosts. Perhaps some of them begged for mercy from the national army officers and soldiers. But the officers and soldiers of the national army couldn't understand Japanese anyway, and even if they could, they couldn't go out to help.

For the wounded Japanese soldiers who fell in front of their positions and under their noses, the officers and soldiers of the national army basically ignored them, ignored them, and neither rescued them nor repaired their guns. Those mad dog-like Japanese soldiers will suddenly pull out grenades. Second, using medicine to treat wounded Japanese soldiers is simply Mr. Dongguo’s stupid behavior. Third, it is a refreshing pleasure to "appreciate" the screams of wounded Japanese soldiers. The thing is, it’s a waste of bullets to make up the gun. The fourth is to keep the wounded Japanese soldiers who are dying or not alive, and they can use them as waste to lure other Japanese soldiers to rescue them, so as to shoot and kill the Japanese soldiers who came to save their comrades. Fifth, keep them Those Japanese wounded soldiers kept screaming and could also damage the morale of the Japanese army.

With so many "benefits" added up, the national army had no reason to save the wounded Japanese soldiers.

On the battlefield between battles, the wounded Japanese soldiers screamed like lonely ghosts. From time to time, there would be a gunshot or a grenade explosion. It was a wounded Japanese soldier who was completely desperate and shot himself or pulled a grenade to commit suicide.

In the fierce battle, the biggest advantage of the Japanese army is the battle fleet cruising on the Yangtze River. Although the naval guns are powerful, they are actually very limited. , The wind is raging, so naturally I dare not be too unscrupulous, and the battle area is several kilometers away from the river. The armies of the two sides are engaged in close combat, melee combat, and positional warfare. After defeating the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, the aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, which basically controlled the air superiority of the battlefield, performed very well and gave full play to this advantage. The bombs were thrown on the heads of the Japanese army, causing the Japanese army to run away with their heads in their arms. The fighter jets also actively participated in the battle. The condescending aviation machine guns and aviation machine guns repeatedly bombarded the Japanese army on the ground (the bf-109 airborne weapon is a 1mm machine gun and two 30mm machine guns), a wall of bullets and fire undulated in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, bombarding the Japanese army like a wolf.

After several fierce battles, the corpses of the Japanese army were scattered all over the field.

"Where is the Japanese invading us!" Zheng Dongguo laughed, "We are obviously 'bullying' them!"

The surrounding officers all laughed heartily.

Jiang Weiguo also laughed, and his smile contained a more complicated meaning: "If I hadn't changed history, you are now being beaten hard by the Japanese army!"

Of course Jiang Weiguo knew that although the Japanese army was being "bullied" by the national army at the moment, the real reason was that the Japanese army had not yet "deployed", so they fell into a passive position in the short term. After all, today is only the first day of the Battle of Songhu.

Even so, Jiang Weiguo was also secretly surprised by the huge difference between the battlefield situation at the beginning of the battle in history and the beginning of the current battle, because the gap was indeed too great.

After thinking about it, Jiang Weiguo sorted out his thoughts. In the Songhu Battle (and even the entire Anti-Japanese War) in history, the Chinese army fought very tragically, but also fought badly. There are many reasons. He made many low-level and even incompetent mistakes in tactics. Jiang Weiguo tried his best to make up for these mistakes. Although it is impossible to be perfect, it is indeed much better and more perfect than the original history; the second is the Chinese military equipment. It's too bad, the army needn't say much, the navy and the air force are the same, even more serious, the navy will only fight hard, and finally the whole army will be wiped out without any suspense. Torpedo countermeasures (Chen Shaokuan is actually mainly responsible for this. He is the No.1 aircraft carrier in China. Although he realizes that the status of an aircraft carrier surpasses that of a battleship, which is really great, he still admires giant ships in his bones, so he ignores torpedo boats and submarines. As for the Air Force, the situation is really annoying. A few years before the Anti-Japanese War, it actually stopped purchasing new aircraft, and it was only after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that it hurriedly sharpened its guns. Jiang Weiguo made up for these shortcomings in a very effective and very reasonable way; the third is Morale. In history, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the morale of the Chinese army inevitably declined due to repeated defeats. At present, although the Chinese army is doomed to be unable to withstand the full-scale attack of the Japanese army as a whole and in the short term, it has achieved success. Several local victories have led to high morale of the army and high morale of the people, which has formed a nationwide "spirit" that is not afraid of powerful enemies.

It is also worth mentioning that, no matter in the original history or at this time, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops who participated in the Battle of Songhu were all regular troops and professional soldiers. Strong men, that is to say, the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops participating in the Battle of Songhu are all the troops with the highest military quality in the Chinese army. This prerequisite is very ideal. Hundreds of thousands of regular troops are definitely better than hundreds of thousands of strong men.

It is conceivable that hundreds of thousands of regular troops of the national army suffered a crushing defeat on the Songhu battlefield. Not only was the elite of the army exhausted, but also the morale of the army was severely damaged. In the future, the national army could only rely on Latin soldiers to supplement the troops in the bloody battle with the Japanese army. The decline in quality will naturally lead to another defeat, and another defeat will lead to a further decline in morale. In addition, continuing to recruit young men will lead to a further decline in the quality of soldiers, which forms a vicious circle.

After all, in the original history, because the Chinese army fought very badly at the beginning of the war, the fighting continued to get worse and worse, and it was completely devastated. Now, the Chinese army is fighting very well at the beginning of the war, and a benign chain will inevitably form in the future reaction.

There is another reason that Jiang Weiguo himself has not realized at this time, and that is the "celebrity effect".

Any country and army in a state of war needs "war heroes" to be admired by the army and worshiped by the people. In World War II, Germany had Rommel, Guderian, and Manstein, and the United States had MacArthur and Nimitz. Patton, the Soviet Union had Zhukov, and Britain had Montgomery. These people are all famous generals who have won many battles. Wherever they go, the army will be excited, and the people will be excited, and they will think "our general so-and-so is here! He will definitely lead us to defeat the powerful enemy and win the victory.” This formed a high-spirited fighting spirit and a winning morale in the overall atmosphere, which played a role in uniting, inspiring, and stabilizing people.

China also had many famous anti-Japanese generals during the Anti-Japanese War, such as Zhang Zizhong, Xue Yue, Li Zongren, Sun Liren, Dai Anlan, Du Yuming, Fu Zuoyi, Wang Yaowu, Zhao Dengyu, etc. However, the "celebrity effect" produced by these Chinese anti-Japanese famous generals is indeed very limited. Those who sacrifice their lives for benevolence and sacrifice their lives for the country, such as Zhang Zizhong, Dai Anlan, Zhao Dengyu, etc., are tragic heroes with a strong tragic color. The problem of personal ability, to a large extent, is limited by national strength and military strength), and they do not meet the standard of "war hero". Chinese soldiers and civilians, like other countries' soldiers and civilians, need a hero who "can win every battle, wipe out a large number of enemy troops, and perform miracles repeatedly. Nearly invincible, nearly perfect, and ultimately successful rather than tragic" war heroes.

In fact, Jiang Weiguo has unknowingly become China's "war hero". Although it is only the beginning, it has also produced a certain "celebrity effect".

The officers and soldiers of the national army participating in the war on the Wusongkou battlefield all knew that the second son of Chairman Jiang was here, and they inevitably got a boost in fighting morale and confidence in victory.

Amidst the thunderous Chinese killing sounds, the officers and soldiers fought more and more bravely, killing the Japanese army again and again.

The "Declaration" of the day was titled "The National Army once again hit the Japanese invaders again at Wusongkou", reported the war with enthusiasm and eulogized the heroic spirit of the officers and soldiers who participated in the war. Although the measures were exaggerated to a certain extent, they were not fabricated out of thin air:

...The Japanese fleet brazenly sailed into the waters of the Wusongkou of the Yangtze River in an attempt to make a surprise landing in the vicinity of Wusongkou and wait for an opportunity to break into Shanghai. Strategize and deploy elite soldiers to Wusongkou to form an insurmountable land defense line of copper and iron walls.

After the Japanese army landed, the soldiers of the national army calmed down and fought bravely. For a while, the sound of killing was loud and the guns were like thunder. The warriors of our air force also came to help in the battle, violently bombing and shooting the Japanese invaders. For the rest of the day, the defense line at Wusongkou was as solid as gold and stood still. The Japanese army was in a state of embarrassment and was full of ugliness. The battlefield was littered with corpses and flesh and blood. The Japanese army plane shot down by the Japanese army plane crashed to the ground, the parts were smashed, and the fuselage was burned into an empty shell and skeleton.

…In front of the national army positions as strong as the Great Wall, countless Japanese soldiers died. According to rough visual inspection, no less than [-] Japanese soldiers were killed.

The number of Japanese casualties reported in the "Shenzhen" is of course overstated. Jiang Weiguo and other officers estimated that the total number of Japanese casualties was [-], and the number of killed should be no less than [-].

The soldiers of the national army who participated in the war were of the highest quality in the Chinese army, their weapons and equipment were also the most sophisticated, and their morale was very high. The air supremacy on the battlefield was also seized by the national army. Coupled with Jiang Weiguo's "magic plan", it would be abnormal if the Japanese army was not hit hard. .

The land battle on the first day of the Battle of Songhu was dominated by the Japanese landing battle at Wusongkou and the national army's anti-landing battle. The Japanese army's four full-scale assaults were all repelled by the national army. The national army killed and wounded about 6000 Japanese soldiers in total. There are about 3000 people, and you can make money without losing money.

In fact, the number of casualties of the national army and the Japanese army would have continued to increase, because the national army should pursue the whole line when the Japanese army retreated after each failed attack. Although their own casualties would increase, they could continue to expand the results of the battle and make the Japanese army pay more. However, fearing the threat of the Japanese naval guns on the Yangtze River, the national army did not rush out of the defense line to pursue the Japanese army after repelling the Japanese army every time.

After night fell, the Wusongkou battlefield returned to calm. The Japanese army retreated about a kilometer like a wild dog who came to bite someone but was beaten up but still disgusted. Then, they seized the time to dig trenches and build fortifications on the spot. "Fighting hard" without air supremacy, and having no trenches means that they will be bombarded indiscriminately by the national army fleet after dawn; Standing still and waiting for work with ease, at the same time waiting for the day, and strictly guarding to prevent the Japanese army from sneaking at night.

The resting national army is divided into three parts, one part is strictly defending the position, the other part continues to reinforce the fortifications or treat the wounded, carry ammunition supplies, etc., and the other part rests.

The resting officers and soldiers had already participated in the battle during the day and were very exhausted. However, although the officers and soldiers were extremely sleepy, they did not go to bed early because good things continued.

"Soldiers of the national army, you have worked hard! Here is a little kindness from all walks of life in Shanghai, and I hope you will accept it!" "Don't refuse! You deserve it!" "You are here to fight the Japanese invaders. Fighting, defending the country, protecting us, of course we have to contribute money and power!" "The army and the people are united! The front and the rear are united!" There is an endless stream of groups from all walks of life in Shanghai who came to Wusong Town, Wusong District, to condolences to the labor force. The fight here was in full swing, with bullets and shells flying all over the place. Of course, no one wanted to come here. At this time, after dark, the warring parties died down, and Shanghai citizens had long known that the National Army had severely injured the Japanese army at Wusongkou and "killed countless Japanese soldiers." Naturally, the patriotic enthusiasm was once again high. Therefore, as soon as it gets dark, they can't wait to come here to give money and goods. Cars, carts, and rickshaws loaded with various supplies continue to come to Wusong Town where the former enemy headquarters of the Ninth Army is located (Wusong Town is actually not The real town is just a general term, referring to several villages and streets along the river near Wusongkou in Wusong District).

The leader of the Lao Jun condolences delegation is Du Yuesheng, one of the famous three tycoons in Shanghai. This gangster boss has transformed himself into the vice president of the Red Cross Society of China. Of course, he is worthy of his new status. A lot of good things happened.

Along with him was a well-known man in his sixties, with a sad but resolute expression, and wearing a coarse cassock. He was the chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association at that time and a contemporary eminent monk Shi Yuanying.

Master Shi Yuanying is profound in Buddhism and highly respected. He was preaching on Lushan Mountain during the July [-]th Incident. After learning that the national crisis was at stake, he immediately rushed to Shanghai to hold the Standing Council of the Buddhist Association of China, condemning the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders and demanding that Japanese Buddhism be based on The Buddhist spirit "stop the atrocities committed by the Japanese government and the Japanese army, and implement compassion and equality." The refugee shelter embodies the compassionate spirit of a true Buddhist.

It is also worth mentioning that the Panchen Lama in Tibet, like Master Shi Yuanying, was dedicated, compassionate and patriotic. After learning that China and Japan were officially at war, the Panchen Lama donated all his life savings of 3 yuan, and set up a Chanting scriptures on the altar, praying for the victory of the motherland in the war.

Master Shi Yuanying came to Wusongkou with dozens of Buddhist disciples to perform ritual rituals for the officers and soldiers of the fallen national army.

Amidst the solemn and peaceful sound of wooden fish and the sound of chanting scriptures and Buddha, Master Shi Yuanying and other monks prayed devoutly for the officers and soldiers of the fallen national army, and all the people around were in awe.

Looking at Master Shi Yuanying and Du Yuesheng, Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but think of a certain Shi Moumou monk and the Red Society in later generations. He said with emotion: "They are all from the Buddhist sect, and they are all from the Red Society. They should be engaged in charity. Yes, why is there such a big gap?"

Jiang Weiguo was also not idle. He ran to the field hospital of the 128th Regiment, the 813th Regiment, the Teaching Corps, and the 2nd Independent Brigade one by one to visit the wounded soldiers as the second son of Jiang.

Jiang Weiguo wasn't just putting on a show, he was indeed doing this with respect and piety, all of them were covered in bandages, bloodstained on the bandages, and even missing arms, legs, blind eyes and deaf ears. The wounded soldiers are the price and basis for China's final victory in this war. The sacrifice of each of them is like a brick, which will eventually pile up into towers of sand and skyscrapers that China won. It is insignificant for a war, but it is extremely huge for them, and it is even all of them.

For example, Jiang Weiguo is holding the hand of a wounded soldier whose eyes are wrapped in gauze. He was blinded by a Japanese grenade during the battle. "A Chinese soldier gave his country during the Chinese War of Resistance. Eyes", this must be a very small thing, but for this Chinese soldier himself, the cost of losing his eyes is extremely huge. He will live in the darkness that will never see the light for the rest of his life. All aspects of life, life, marriage, work, etc. will be greatly affected.

Of course, there are even more uncomfortable things, that is, those officers and soldiers who have died in battle, they have given their most precious lives.

Jiang Weiguo remembered a joke (there are several versions) on the Internet in later generations: How many years has the Anti-Japanese War been fought?eight years.

How many soldiers died in China?About 380 million.

What are their names?God knows.

Imagine, if there is a Chinese soldier named Zhang San, he died in the Anti-Japanese War, the number of Chinese soldiers killed in the Anti-Japanese War is "about 380 million", but he did not die in the Anti-Japanese War, the number of Chinese soldiers killed in the Anti-Japanese War is still "About 380 million", no change.

Just like Stalin's famous saying, a few deaths are a tragedy, but millions of deaths are just statistics.

But this is precisely the greatness of these ordinary soldiers: Although my greatest contribution is trivial to the country, I have made my greatest contribution to the country.

"Brother, you are doing well!" Jiang Weiguo tightly held the wounded soldier's hand.

"Ah... you are the Second Young Master Jiang?"

"I am also a Chinese soldier like you.

Don't worry, as long as I live, you and your family will have nothing to worry about in the future!" Jiang Weiguo said sincerely, no matter how many words of praise are nonsense, the real thing to do is to take practical actions to give them what they really need of.

"Well... that's good, that's good... My family still has parents, a younger sister and an underage brother. When I'm blind, I always think about them. I'm blind, what will they do in the future..." Hurt Tears and blood flowed from the soldier's bandage.

Jiang Weiguo kept saying words of consolation, and sighed again in his heart: Chinese soldiers and Chinese people are used to poverty and suffering, so their requirements for the country are really low!

"Camp seat!" Xiao Yao hurried over suddenly, and then signaled Jiang Weiguo to follow him to a place where no one was around.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback.
