I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Xiao Yao said in a low voice: "The special company and the reconnaissance company have sent the latest report, the Japanese army is retreating quietly!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo became more and more surprised, "What does Little Japan want to do?"

"Does it need to be said?" Xiao Yao was also surprised, surprised by Jiang Weiguo's slow response, "The Japanese army has basically accurately grasped the position of our army's defense line during the fierce battle during the day, and now they are retreating to break away from our army's defense line , quietly retreated in order not to arouse our vigilance and suspicion, and then they will use naval guns to bombard us precisely, and then launch a large-scale night attack to completely defeat our defense line!"

"Damn!" Jiang Weiguo said suddenly, "Let's go! Hurry up to the headquarters!"

Five minutes later, Jiang Weiguo, Zhang Zhizhong, Zhou Zhenqiang, deputy commander of the Teaching Corps, Qiu Qingquan, chief of staff, Zhong Song, commander of the 5nd Independent Brigade, Yang Wenzhen, deputy commander of the 2nd Independent Brigade, Zheng Dongguo, commander of the 128th regiment, Ji Zhangjian, commander of the 813th regiment, etc. Senior military officers gathered to discuss this latest situation urgently.

Because of Jiang Weiguo's painstaking efforts, the 128th Regiment, like the 918th Regiment, has a special company and a reconnaissance company directly under the regiment headquarters. After dark, the special company and the reconnaissance company immediately launched activities, secretly monitoring the movements of the Japanese army and waiting for opportunities to collect intelligence. At [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, the special forces and scouts accidentally discovered that the Japanese army on the Wusongkou battlefield was retreating quietly, but they made a lot of effort to hide and camouflage.

"After all, our defense line is within the range of the Japanese naval guns!" Zhang Zhizhong looked worried, "It seems that the troops can only retreat across the board!" Can exceed 3 kilometers.

On the Wusongkou battlefield at this time, the national army's position was fixed on land after all, and the Japanese warships could also be anchored on the Yangtze River. Therefore, after precise aiming and repeated calibration, the Japanese naval guns could fire far and accurately.

"If we retreat, won't it allow the Japanese army to gain a firm foothold on land?" Qiu Qingquan expressed doubts and objections, "It is easy to retreat, but difficult to advance!"

"There is no way!" Zhang Zhizhong said helplessly, "The troops can't stay in the trenches and be used as fixed targets by the Japanese warships, right? A trench two or three meters deep is completely defenseless against naval guns!"

Chapter 180 Fierce Battle at Wusongkou (2)

"Jun Zuo, gentlemen!" Xiao Yao said, "There is actually another way!"

"Oh?" Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Weiguo and others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

Hearing Xiao Yao say such words, Jiang Weiguo was both happy and uneasy. The happy thing is that this guy can always come up with good ideas when the chief feels in a dilemma, but the uneasy thing is that the good ideas this guy came up with are basically "bad" of".

Xiao Yao looked confident and pointed at the map: "Sirs, although the Japanese invaders have already landed, they are firmly contained by our army on the beach and cannot go further inland. Therefore, the space for the Japanese army's activities is very narrow. Preliminary estimates, the Japanese army has already landed. The time control area is roughly just a strip of land along the riverside that is seven kilometers long and less than three kilometers deep.

Right now, the Japanese army is retreating quietly. The purpose is to break away from the junction with our army's position, so that the Japanese naval guns can bombard our army with maximum accuracy. Therefore, the Japanese army will definitely seize the time to continue to land troops and unload supplies to the land at night!" He looked at Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Weiguo and others, "Mr. First, the Japanese landing troops are retreating deliberately, abandoning many areas. Third, the follow-up troops in the Japanese fleet are still continuing to land.

Therefore, the number and density of Japanese troops on the river beach will greatly increase. This is a great opportunity for our army to take the initiative to attack! "

Zhang Zhizhong, Jiang Weiguo and others all had their hearts pounding, and then fell into eager thinking.

Jiang Weiguo thought: Indeed, the landing area currently controlled by the Japanese army is only about 20 square kilometers. About two regiments of the Japanese army landed ashore during the day (the 6th regiment of the fifth brigade of the third division first landed, and the brigade was the first to land. The 68th Regiment landed later in the afternoon, with about 1 Japanese soldiers landing, but more than half of the casualties in the fierce battle), now at night, the Japanese army deliberately retreated across the board, giving up many control areas, and at the same time continued to land troops. Naturally, the Japanese army's territory has shrunk and the number of people in the territory has increased, so the number and density of soldiers in the Japanese army's territory must have increased greatly.

"You mean..." Zheng Dongguo looked at Xiao Yao, "Our army retreated across the board to avoid the bombardment of the Japanese warships, but at the same time dispatched elite troops not to retreat but to advance against the trend to raid the Japanese landing site by the river?"

"Good idea!" Qiu Qingquan was the first to express his approval, "This will definitely make the little devil drink a pot!"

"That's right!" Zhong Song also agreed, "After the defeat during the day, the morale of the Japanese army must have been frustrated. The arrival of a large number of new landing troops, coupled with the automatic shrinking of the Japanese army's control area, will inevitably lead to a certain chaos in the order of the Japanese army on the river beach. In addition, the Japanese landing troops had no time to build a line of defense along the river beach, so their defenses must be weak, and this is indeed a good opportunity for our army to seize the opportunity to make a surprise attack!"

Zheng Dongguo was more and more inspired: "Use armored troops! The armored battalion of our regiment has always been useless in daytime positional warfare. Seeing the infantry brothers fighting in full swing, the armored soldiers have long been unable to hold back!"

"How do the attacking troops return?" Zhang Zhizhong thought for a while and found the problem.

Everyone was lost in thought again, and then realized that they had overlooked this key point.

It is true that you can gain a lot of money by digging out the heart of the tiger's mouth, but the tiger's mouth is not a place where you can come and go. The attacking troops rushed to the river beach to kill, how to go back?The way back must be blocked by the firepower of the Japanese naval guns.

"Return as much as you can get back!" Xiao Yao said lightly, "If it's a big deal, I won't come back, anyway, I must earn enough money.

Why not kill [-] enemies and lose [-]?How can there be such a good thing if you want to severely injure the enemy army and don't want to pay the price? "

Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao, this guy is like a machine when he makes plans, human life is just a number in his eyes, and it doesn't matter whether it is the enemy's life or his own.

"I'll go!" Qiu Qingquan raised his arms and clenched his fists, "Soldiers, you should be ready to kill yourself at any time!"

"I'll go too!" Zhong Song's eyes were also firm.

"And me!" Zhang Lingfu looked excited, "Junzuo, we know very well that Shanghai will be lost sooner or later, and before we lose, it is our fundamental combat purpose to do our best to attack the Japanese army and let the Japanese army kill more people! This night attack is completely in line with the purpose, and there is no reason why it should not be launched! Even if the entire attacking force is wiped out, as long as it can cause double or even triple the damage to the Japanese army, it will be a worthy death!"

Zhang Zhizhong's eyes were slightly moist, and he nodded: "Okay! Okay!" His attitude was tacit.

Jiang Weiguo watched from the side. On the one hand, he was very pleased and relieved, because some commanders of the national army possessed a rare spirit of daring to show their swords when facing a strong enemy. As long as this spirit and spirit are passed on, the national army will be He will not become more and more depressed as in the original history. In the end, he lost the courage to take the initiative to counterattack the Japanese army and regain the lost ground. He just waited for the Americans to defeat Japan and start receiving and picking up ready-made. On the one hand, he was very emotional. choose.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo couldn't bear Zhang Lingfu and others to carry out such a fierce attack. At the same time, he also knew that if he did not carry out such a fierce attack, he would not be able to inflict greater damage on the Japanese army.

Compared with the fearless spirit of Zhang Lingfu and others, Jiang Weiguo seems to be "greedy about life and afraid of death". He will definitely not participate in this kind of action because he cannot die.

There was no time to delay, and the plan was finalized within a few minutes. The national army units on the front line at Wusongkou began to retreat in an all-round way. The raid force, with the armored force as the core, assembled more than 128 precious German tanks. There were more than 2 officers and soldiers in the attack, and they took more than 200 trucks. The leaders were Qiu Qingquan, Zhong Song, and Zhang Lingfu.

Before the attack, Jiang Weiguo, Zheng Dongguo and other military officers were extremely unbearable and reluctant.

"If I die in battle, I will be worthy of the principal!" Zhang Lingfu smiled at Jiang Weiguo, then climbed into a tank.

While the raiding troops were attacking, the main force of the troops on the ground had already retreated one after another. When Jiang Weiguo and other officers drove away, several crimson lightning bolts suddenly flashed across the night sky, accompanied by dull rolling thunder, like a few meteors. The fireball suddenly flew over at a very high speed, and one end landed within 300 meters in front of the original national army position. Suddenly, the sky fell apart, and several pieces of land the size of a football field were turned upside down by the earth-shattering explosion at the point where the bullet hit. The ash-like ash and the flames of a volcanic eruption rose from the ground together, roared and swept across, and finally turned into several unusually huge black mushroom clouds, and the ground continued to tremble violently.

"It's really here!" Zheng Dongguo sighed.

The four heavy artillery shells that fell just now were the results of the test firing of the bow main guns of the Nagato and Mutsu battleships before the full-scale bombardment. The overwhelming momentum and indestructible destructive power made Jiang Weiguo's scalp numb. One naval gun shell is enough to blow up a battalion to nothing.

"Go! Go!" Zheng Dongguo kept urging the driver, who stepped on the gas pedal desperately.

More lightning flashed in the night sky, and more thunder roared. The Japanese battle fleet officially launched a full-scale naval artillery coverage of the national army positions at Wusongkou. The earth-shattering storm kept falling down, and the criss-crossing bullet trails reflected the night sky red like a burning cloud. The air was shaken by the shock waves of the shells flying at high speed into vortices like boiling water, shining red, and the turbulent airflow It makes the night sky look almost hideous.

Jiang Weiguo felt that this scene was like an alien planet scene in a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster of later generations: in the red thunderstorm, meteor showers continuously broke through the sky and fell to the ground, and the originally stationary solid earth collapsed under the impact of this overwhelming thunder and sky fire. Countless turbulent waves churned up like the sea in a storm. A large amount of soil, rubble, stones, burnt vegetation, and smashed building debris roared into the sky like a black typhoon in the explosion of shells, and the dust was like fog and thick smoke. Clouds made the bombarded area fall into a horrible scene where the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark. There were lightning and thunder rolling between the smoke and clouds, and more shells continued to fall, blasting countless craters that were densely packed like fish scales and layer upon layer. The already devastated ground was turned upside down, first turned into a messy flat land, then turned into scorched earth with no grass growing, and finally turned into steaming powder.

"Fortunately, we retreated!" Qiu Zhiji said with lingering fear, "Otherwise the army will really suffer a lot!"

"The power of naval guns is too great!" Zheng Dongguo sighed with emotion.

Jiang Weiguo looked at the original defense line of the national army, which had become the surface of the moon.

"Look!" Huang Baitao suddenly shouted eagerly, "Lingfu and the others have started!" He raised his binoculars and pointed to the depths of the lightning barrage formed by the Japanese naval guns.

Jiang Weiguo and the others hurriedly raised their binoculars, and sure enough, there was also a billowing thunder and lightning storm shining along the river beach.

On the Yangtze River at Wusongkou and on the land beside the river, which is controlled by the Japanese army, there is a strange scene: the Japanese battle fleet bombarded the positions of the Chinese army in all directions, and more than a dozen giant warships started shelling together. It is very astonishing, it can be called swallowing mountains and rivers, the hurricane howls in the sky, the wind is surging on the ground, and the powerful shock waves from the naval guns on the river are also shaking the waves. However, on the river beach land close to the Yangtze River, the Japanese ground troops are Ghosts and wolves howled.

"Brothers! Kill me! Kill! Kill!" Standing on a tank, Qiu Qingquan roared like a god of killing, his eyes burning like fire, and his whole body was in an extremely excited and crazy spirit like smoking opium. In the state, this also fits his nickname of "Crazy Qiu". He was desperate to fight, let alone this kind of battle where he could slaughter the Japanese army heartily.

After leading the troops to the edge of the Japanese Jiangtan control area, Qiu Qingquan couldn't hold back immediately, and gave the order to attack with a roar like a bison. The team launched a thunderous attack.

Amidst the roar of the flywheels on the tank tracks and the thundering shouts of the national army's officers and soldiers, the three troops poured into the Japanese river beach control area like three steel mudslides, and the bombs shot up everywhere they went. , Flesh flying everywhere.

在白天已经登陆且遭到重创的第6联队、第68联队以及在前半夜完成登陆的第3师团第29旅团第18联队、正在登陆中的第29旅团第34联队等日军各部一起遭到了这场山洪雪崩般的打击。

According to the plan of the Japanese commanders such as General Matsui, Major General Iinuma, and Lieutenant General Fujita, after dark, the Chinese army will be confuse with suspicious soldiers, and the main force of the Japanese army will retreat in an all-round way, so as to avoid being killed by their own ships when the Chinese army is "suffering". The artillery fire was affected, and then the powerful battle fleet carried out a devastating blow to the Chinese army's land defense (during the daytime battle, the Japanese naval artillery survey and calibration personnel had obtained the precise coordinate data of the Chinese army's position), and at the same time, The Japanese fleet took advantage of this night to unload follow-up troops and supplies on the shore with all their strength, concentrated their forces, and launched a full-scale attack when the Chinese army's position was completely destroyed in the second half of the night, advancing to the inland of Wusongkou in one go.

According to common sense, the plan of General Matsui and others is quite reasonable, but they only underestimated the courage and courage of the Chinese army to dare to counterattack.

When Qiu Qingquan, Zhong Song, and Zhang Lingfu led the troops to attack in a desperate manner, they found that they had been lucky. Although the Japanese army is not paralyzed and defenseless, the objective reality makes the Japanese army's defense force very empty at this time. The Japanese army on the beachhead has no trench fortifications. After all, they set foot on the beachhead to advance inland Yes, the beachhead is only the starting point, and naturally they will not dig trenches and repair fortifications at the starting point of the journey. In addition, the Japanese army lacks defensive heavy weapons. As for the most powerful battleships of the Japanese army, they could only watch the Chinese army beating their own landing troops under their noses and were helpless. It was impossible for the Japanese battleships to face the enemy and ourselves who were fighting in a melee within a distance of one or two kilometers. The army launched an indiscriminate bombardment.

With the addition of so many favorable conditions of time, place and people, the results of the National Army's raid troops were naturally a bumper harvest, while the Japanese Third Division suffered an unprecedented loss.

In the flash of artillery fire, the national army tanks that charged into the Japanese-controlled area rushed into the sheepfold like steel tigers. The tank machine guns burst into flames like pear blossoms in the rainstorm, and the tank guns continued to roar with flames. The truck sitting behind the tanks The infantrymen of the national army who participated in the battle together only fired at the place where there were many Japanese soldiers, and the grenades were thrown like raindrops.

What is worthy of recognition is that the Japanese army did not collapse at the first touch, and still carried out tenacious resistance, but it did not constitute order at all. As soon as the battle broke out, the Japanese army's overall defense area was torn to pieces by the national army tanks that stabbed in like steel knives, and then Falling into total chaos and one-sided passive beating.

The tanks and machine guns fired like lightning, and the dazzling firepower net made one after another Japanese soldiers dance like electric shocks. The Japanese soldiers who were beaten into a sieve rolled to the ground; Flowers sprung up everywhere in the rain, blowing up broken limbs flying all over the sky; all the tanks fired like crazy while rampaging through the Japanese army crowd, rolling left and right, amidst the frightening Japanese screams, one after another Japanese soldiers seemed to be harvesting The sorghum under the rollers of the machine was sucked into it like a tank track, and then turned into a puddle of mud and flesh like tomatoes in a juicer. The small Wusongkou along the river turned into a purgatory on earth amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They killed people with blood, and every tank killed dragon armor with blood.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The officers and soldiers of the national army in the battle shouted ecstatically, and in an unprecedented frenzy, they used the death and blood of foreign invaders to compose a magnificent war march of the Chinese nation.

"Hit the Japanese army's luggage! Don't just focus on killing people! Hit the luggage!" Zhang Lingfu shouted loudly on the tank radio, which was explained by Jiang Weiguo in advance.

A few tanks bravely rushed to the edge of the river beach, and fired shells at the seven or eight hills piled up with supplies that the Japanese transport ships had unloaded on the shore. Waves of meteors flew away, and the hills turned into volcanoes. Tens of thousands of tons of supplies transported by the Japanese army across the sea from the Japanese mainland were burning in the fire, and finally burned. The soaring flames almost illuminated the entire section of the Yangtze River near Wusongkou and the entire Wusong Town.

One of the hills was made up of hundreds of gasoline barrels. After the tank shells of the national army flew away, the whole hill turned into a huge fireball that went straight up to the sky in a big explosion. The extremely loud explosion almost shocked halfway. Shanghai Beach.

"Thousands of tons of gasoline are burning, what is the scene? Shura is like hell!" Lieutenant Kurihara Naoji, the commander of the 3rd Supply Corps Regiment of the 3rd Division, said sadly afterwards.

The commander of the 3rd Division, General Fujita Shinsaka, was originally attending the military meeting in the captain's room of the Nagato. After receiving the report and hearing the sound of guns exploding on land, he rushed out of the captain's room and rushed to the deck. Looking at the land from above, he burst into tears after seeing it clearly. The 3rd Division has been established for nearly 50 years. When was it beaten so embarrassingly?The extremely embarrassing situation had to make Fujita Lieutenant general feel anxious and sad on the one hand.

"Fujita-kun!" Lieutenant General Yamamuro Munetake, the head of the 11th Division next to him, said to Lieutenant General Fujita very sympathetically, "Your department was just accidentally attacked by the Chinese army. After the No.11 Division of our department arrives, , unite your Ministry, and launch a full-scale counterattack together! Destroy these Chinese troops! Revenge!"

"Your Excellency, Head of the Division!" Chief of Staff of the 11th Division Hiroyuki Hiroyuki ran to Lieutenant General Yamamuro with an almost ashen face and whispered a telegram with trembling hands, "The 22nd Regiment... something happened..."

Lieutenant General Yamamuro's expression on his face after reading the telegram was almost exactly the same as that of Lieutenant General Fujita.

The unit that the Japanese army suffered the most on this night was actually not the 3rd Division, but the 11th Division that had not yet officially arrived in Shanghai to participate in the battle.

Major Wang Lang, the captain of the Chinese Navy's u-1023 submarine, was in a very depressed mood during the day. In fact, he was in a very good mood. Well-trained combat skills, bold, careful and steady countermeasures, completed a perfect "make-up" against the light cruisers Tianlong and Tatsuta, which were defeated and fled back to the Japanese mainland, and sent the two Japanese light cruisers to the bottom of the sea in one fell swoop, making them He suddenly became the ace submarine commander of the Chinese Navy, and his military rank was promoted from captain to major. At the same time, he was awarded a blue sky and white sun medal. Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Nanjing, also heard the name of the submarine captain. The chairman was still very generous. Yes, with a swipe of a pen on the spot, he awarded 1023 oceans to all crew members of u-[-], and an additional [-] oceans to Wang Lang himself. In addition, he also ordered that if he had time, he would meet this local Chinese submarine hero in person.

Of course, none of these rich benefits have yet been realized, because u-1023 is still participating in the war in the East China Sea and has not yet returned to its home base.

Patriotism, honor, and awards all boosted the morale of Wang Lang and his crew members, and they became more and more eager to make persistent efforts. There was a chance this afternoon, but u-1023 has been hovering on the "Shanghai-Nagasaki" route On the road, before the war, this route was constantly going back and forth between Chinese and Japanese merchant ships all day long, and now it is constantly going back and forth between Japanese navy ships.

This afternoon, u-1023 found a group of big fish on this route. It was the Japanese aircraft carrier formation that was fleeing back to Japan after being severely damaged by the Chinese Air Force. Among them, the Akagi, Kaga, and Ryujo aircraft carriers were all affected After being seriously injured, the three warships moved tremblingly on the sea like three dying old men.

When he saw these three aircraft carriers, Wang Lang was overjoyed, and his heart was full of joy, because he keenly found that these three aircraft carriers were all seriously injured, so they were naturally very easy to fight, and the aircraft carriers were too big, and sinking one could increase tens of thousands of tons or even However, after careful observation, Wang Lang felt disheartened as if he had been splashed with cold water, because he found that the three Japanese aircraft carriers were closely guarded, and each of them had three or five cruisers or destroyers. With an airtight escort, if you attack forcibly, you will be [-]% dead.

After repeated thinking, Wang Lang gave up the risk and gave up the attack.

Watching three whale-like big fish slipping away unhurriedly under his eyes, Wang Lang and other crew members had to feel deeply annoyed and regretful, and they continued to wait and see on this route without giving up.

After dark, at around nine o'clock in the evening, they finally waited for another big fish.

This is a Japanese fleet consisting of only three warships, one is a destroyer and two are transport ships.

After repeated observations, Wang Lang could see clearly that the two transport ships were actually transport ships requisitioned from civilian merchant ships for military use, one was for carrying materials and the other was for carrying personnel.

It was later found out that the destroyer in the Japanese fleet was the 1300-ton Kamikaze, and the two transport ships were the Matsukawa Maru and the Ryuyama Maru, both of which were requisitioned civilian ships. Carrying more than 7000 tons of military supplies, the Longshan Maru has a full load displacement of about 4000 tons. The ship carried more than 5000 Japanese soldiers from the 11nd Infantry Regiment of the 10th Brigade of the 22th Division of the Japanese Army who were ordered to go to Shanghai to participate in the war.

Chapter 181 Good Start
