I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

When the armored troops of the national army were composing the magnificent war march of the Chinese nation with the death and blood of these foreign invaders in the Japanese landing field by the Wusongkou River Beach, another majestic war song was being played in the East China Sea. The above is played with the same exciting and magnificent melody.

Submarines are sea assassins, and they are good at sneak attacks. If they engage in head-to-head combat with surface warships, they will almost certainly die.

"So!" In the cabin of u-1023, Wang Lang looked at the crew members with piercing eyes, "We have to kill the destroyer of the Japanese army first! The destroyer is gone, and the remaining two transport ships are at our disposal. He paused, and added, "I know that submarines attacking destroyers are extremely dangerous, but the Japanese destroyers haven't found us yet, but we have already spotted them and locked them. The enemy is clear and we are dark, so we can attack first." Strong! As long as the first four torpedoes can severely damage that destroyer, we will win!"

"Captain!" Some sailors objected, "This route is very busy. The Japanese army continues to increase troops and deliver supplies from its homeland to Shanghai. The Japanese fleet frequently travels to and from this route. If we are attacking this Japanese fleet If other Japanese fleets arrive in this sea area from time to time, we will be in danger!"

"There are risks, but it's worth the risk!" Wang Lang said with a firm attitude, "Wars are inherently dangerous! We are soldiers, and we should fight the enemy for our country regardless of our own safety, shouldn't we?"

The crew all expressed their approval and support.

The 1023 crew members of U-51 (5 officers, 16 non-commissioned officers, and 30 sailors) prepared for the worst to launch this attack. Their loyalty to the country and courage to fight are undoubtedly awe-inspiring My dear, in fact, they are "unfounded worries", because the difficulty and danger are not as high as they expected.

The Japanese Navy currently has more than 70 destroyers of various types (historically, the Japanese Navy had a total of 177 destroyers completed and participated in the war during the entire World War II, and another 8 were under construction at the end of the war, and a total of 132 destroyers were lost during the war). It is divided into multiple "classes", such as Fengfeng class, wild wind class, kamikaze class, etc., and is divided into four "models" by the Japanese at the same time: A, B, C, and D. The specialty of Type A destroyers is the water surface In combat, torpedoes are used as the main weapon; Type B destroyers specialize in anti-aircraft operations, with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns as the main weapons; Type C destroyers are actually an enhanced version of Type A destroyers, with stronger firepower for torpedo warfare; It has fast speed, low construction cost and short construction time, and is mainly used for transportation and escort.

Almost all of the more than 70 destroyers of the Japanese Navy at this time belonged to Type A (Type B, Type C, Type D, and Type A were all developed by the Japanese army after the outbreak of the Pacific War after realizing the shortcomings of Type A, but there were no destroyers at this time). As a result of the definition of the nature of destroyers, the senior Japanese Navy believes that "destroyers are the main force of the battle, not a supporting role on the battlefield." Attack them with precision torpedoes", so the torpedo firepower of the Japanese destroyers is strong, and the night combat capability is also very strong (in the original history, when the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese Navy's torpedo attack power and night combat capability greatly exceeded that of the US military, because the Japanese Navy has been steadfast in enhancing both capabilities, and the Japanese Navy during World War II possessed the most powerful torpedoes in the world).

The torpedo warfare and night combat capabilities of Japanese destroyers are indeed world-class. However, there are gains and losses. Because of the "bias", the air defense capabilities and anti-submarine capabilities of Japanese destroyers are seriously insufficient.

No matter in the original history or at this time, the Japanese Navy underestimated the role of submarines and submarines before and at the beginning of World War II. Therefore, the anti-submarine capabilities of warships are very low. For aircraft carriers alone, the Japanese Navy has accumulated 20 ships that were sunk in World War II in the original history. Seven of the aircraft carriers were sunk by U.S. submarines.

U-1023 is facing the Japanese destroyer Kamikaze at this time. The weapons of the destroyer are: 4 120mm main naval guns, 2 6.5mm machine guns, 6 533mm torpedo tubes, and 16 mines at the same time , nothing else, in other words, the destroyer did not install sonar detectors and depth charges against submarines (it is worth mentioning that in the original history, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan The navy has suffered enough from the U.S. submarines and has to completely refit its warships. For example, this kamikaze-class destroyer removed 1 main naval gun and 2 torpedo tubes and replaced them with 10 25mm cannons and 4 depth charge dropper).

The threat of Kamikaze to u-1023 is actually very low, which is the prerequisite for u-1023 to create a miracle at sea. Of course, the crew of u-1023 did not know that the opponent was just a paper tiger. They really launched this attack with the mentality of seeing death as home.

The time is 8:22 pm on August 9.

After 10 minutes of precise aiming, Wang Lang, who was gripping the handle of the periscope with both hands, turned his head, and in a calm and forceful voice growled an attack order that made the entire crew hold their breath with excitement:

"los!" (German for open fire, launch.

The submariners of the Chinese Navy are all trained by German instructors, and some of the passwords are directly in German.

）

The torpedo operator slammed down the transmitter board, and the four torpedo tubes on the bow of u-1023 roared together and rolled up four boiling eddies in the sea water. The destroyer Kamikaze continued to sail towards Shanghai unknowingly. The crew members listened intently to the sound of the explosion coming from the sea water. In the quiet submarine cabin, there were only the roar of machinery and the heartbeat of the crew.

After just half a minute, there was a dull loud sound in the sea that made the crew ecstatic.

"All four hits! Brothers did a great job!" Wang Lang shouted excitedly.

Boiling cheers instantly flooded every corner of the submarine cabin.

Wang Lang stared intently at the refreshing scene not far away. Four groups of extremely dazzling fireballs were in full bloom in the night at the front, middle, middle rear, and rear of the port side of the Kamikaze. It was thrown into the sky in the air waves, and the sea surface within a few kilometers was illuminated by the fire.

Wang Lang can be sure that the warship with a displacement of only more than 1000 tons has already suffered a fatal blow, but in order to prevent it from happening, "Immediately install mines on the No. [-] and No. [-] launch tubes! Attack the target again!" Wang Lang roared sharply, not afraid of ten thousand , just in case, the enemy ship must be completely sunk to ensure nothing goes wrong.

The well-trained crew quickly reloaded the torpedo with hands shaking with excitement.

Three minutes later, U-3 fired torpedoes at the Kamikaze again, and the second wave of two torpedoes still hit them all. In fact, the Kamikaze collapsed after being attacked by the first wave of torpedoes, and the main armor belt on the port side was destroyed. It was completely shattered, the waterproof compartment was almost penetrated, and the hull was already capsizing to the left. The second wave of torpedoes made it further advance the time of sinking into the sea, which was undoubtedly fatal.

The second wave of two torpedo explosions caused the Kamikaze to almost blow up the left half of the ship, both steam turbines were blown up, four boilers were doused by sea water one after another, the power system was completely paralyzed, and the four main ship guns were completely destroyed. One door was blown up and the other was blown up. The entire warship was "half in flames and half in sea water". More than 154 of the 100 crew members on board were killed on the spot, because it was night and most of the crew were under the warship. Sleeping in the dormitory in the cabin, the explosion after the torpedo hit the warship caused a large number of sailors who were still asleep to be bloody and bloody, and the seawater poured in through the explosion gap drowned a large number of sailors who had no time to escape.

The large number of casualties of the crew made it almost impossible to organize orderly emergency firefighting work on the ship. The raging fire spread everywhere on the warship and burned out of control.

"Brothers! Enjoy our dinner!" Seeing the Kamikaze sinking rapidly into the sea covered in flames, Wang Lang felt relieved and high-spirited.

The only combat-capable destroyer in the Japanese fleet was sent into the sea, and the remaining two transport ships were simply fat on the chopping board.

Amidst the cheers, u-1023 launched four torpedoes at Matsukawa Maru and Ryuyama Maru without haste, although the displacements of Matsukawa Maru and Ryuyama Maru were both much larger than Kamikaze, but the latter is a warship after all, while the former is only a civilian merchant ship with very low protection. Each ship can withstand four torpedoes enough to completely sink it, and it sank quickly.

It was a battle of carnage at sea.

Wang Lang described it in this way afterwards: "...when the destroyer of the Japanese army was completely destroyed by us, the other two transport ships did not run away. Dropping the lifeboat to rescue the drowning personnel of the destroyer, we guessed that the Japanese probably did not expect that their destroyer was sunk by our submarine with a torpedo, and mistakenly thought it was a mine strike, so they were unresponsive.

How lucky we are!It can be said that the submarine fired torpedoes at the two transport ships calmly and calmly, and all eight torpedoes hit, because we had sufficient time to aim.

After the shell of the hull was easily torn or even shredded by the torpedo, the two transport ships quickly began to sink while burning raging fire.

The fire was very violent, as if there were two big torches on the sea. The fire made the sky red and the sea blood red. The scene was very frightening.

Of the two ships, one of them burned much more violently than the other, and the flames shot straight into the sky. We judged that it was a ship transporting supplies. .

After the torpedo exploded, big explosions continued to occur on the surface of the sea. The Japanese destroyer that had sunk suddenly exploded under the sea, and a large ball of water dozens of meters high was blown up. The waves were as rough as a tsunami. The ammunition depot was detonated, and the ship transporting supplies exploded from time to time while it was burning. It was estimated that there were a lot of munitions and ammunition on board, but they were all detonated by the fire. It was earth-shattering and deafening. Layers of rumbling waves and gusts of hot sea wind, after a few big explosions, the ship transporting supplies was completely smashed to pieces, turned into several large wreckages and sank into the sea, and countless small fragments floated on the sea surface However, the worst thing is not the destroyer or the ship transporting supplies, but another transport ship, which is full of Japanese troops, haha!After the hull was blown to pieces by our torpedoes, the ship began to capsize and sink slowly. The densely packed devil soldiers were like an ant nest thrown into the water. The scene was miserable, but very happy!In the sea breeze, besides the sound of explosions, I also heard all kinds of heart-piercing screams in Japanese, the voices were terribly desperate and shrill. A circle of Japanese soldiers were blown up into the sky. Many Japanese soldiers had been blown to pieces or even torn apart. The sky was filled with heads, people, hands and feet flying everywhere. When the ship was about to sink, a large number of Japanese soldiers covered in flames and smoke went madly into the sea. Jump, the Japanese soldiers who are not on fire are also jumping into the sea crazily, just like dumpling, the red sea reflected by the fire is full of Japanese soldiers swimming like ducks, swimming desperately one by one. , but where can they swim?Swim to Shanghai?Or swim back to their Japanese hometown?They could only support it hard until other Japanese ships rushed here.

Within half an hour, three Japanese warships sank one after another, forming several creepy, bottomless, black hole-like maelstroms on the sea surface, and a large number of Japanese soldiers near these eddies were sucked into the water amidst howls. In the depths of the sea, the scene is like pressing the flush button of the toilet after taking a shit, but there are still many Japanese soldiers floating on the sea.

I thought about it, and felt that these little devils should not be cheap. They were going to invade and kill us on our land. Since we had the opportunity to kill them, why didn't we kill them? "

Under Wang Lang's order, U-1023 floated to the surface of the sea and sailed to the sea area where the Japanese soldiers fell into the water. "There are Japanese people on the sea, as many as rice grains in rice porridge," said a submarine soldier. Said, "Obviously like maggots in a latrine", another submarine soldier described it this way.

Of course, u-1023 was not intended to rescue those Japanese who fell into the water. In fact, many Japanese soldiers thought that this "unidentified, suspected Chinese submarine" submarine was launched to abide by the international law of war to save them, so they all turned to u-1023. -1023 swam over, but what happened next stunned the Japanese troops: U-12.7 set up a dual-link [-]mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the boat tower, and fired at more than a dozen Japanese lifeboats floating on the sea. , each of those lifeboats was seriously overloaded, crowded with people, and the hull was also full of people. After the machine guns fired over, "blood poured out, wailing like ghosts" and "the sunk lifeboats were like smashed red wine Bottle" "appeared on the surface of the sea more than a dozen big red spots like red ink dripping on rice paper, each of which was as big as a swimming pool, and continued to increase in size as the blood spread and diluted."

After understanding the true purpose of the submarine, the Japanese soldiers who fell into the water frantically swam away from U-1023. U-1023 fired machine guns at the sea surface unhurriedly, splashing blood and water on the sea surface, screaming in Japanese The sound of cursing echoed across the sea.

After sinking all the lifeboats with machine guns and shooting all the places where the Japanese soldiers fell into the water, u-1023 dived contentedly.

The attack by u-1023 caused extremely heavy casualties and material losses to the Japanese army. The Japanese army lost a destroyer and two transport ships with a total tonnage of more than 500 tons. Among them, the Matsukawa Maru carried With more than 4000 tons of military supplies, all of them sank into the sea, including enough weapons and ammunition to equip an infantry regiment of the Japanese army, as well as a large amount of military canned food, military uniforms, gasoline, machine parts, etc. The 35 tanks and machine parts on the ship were the most valuable. 28 large-caliber heavy guns became scrap iron piled on the bottom of the East China Sea together; the Longshan Maru was carrying 11 officers and soldiers of the 10nd Infantry Regiment of the 22th Brigade of the 4172th Division of the Japanese Army who were ordered to go to Shanghai. The Longshan Maru was shot down After the sinking, 3816 officers and soldiers of the regiment drowned in the East China Sea, including the commander of the regiment Masaichi Naito (many of them were killed by U-1023), and the flag of the regiment sank into the sea in chaos. As a result, the wing was "completely wiped out" before it officially entered the battlefield or even fired a single shot at the Chinese army.

During the entire battle, the Japanese killed more than 4000 people (mostly the officers and soldiers of the 22nd Wing, as well as the crew and sailors of the Kamikaze, Matsukawa Maru, and Ryuyama Maru), and only more than 500 people were killed in the battle. It was rescued by another Japanese fleet that arrived two hours later.

The u-1023 submarine created an almost miraculous battle.

After returning to the Sanshawan base, Wang Lang and other 51 crew members were immediately taken to Nanjing by special plane, received and commended by Chiang Kai-shek in person, and the ranks of the crew were collectively promoted to one level, and each was awarded a medal.

Originally, Chiang Kai-shek planned to award Wang Lang the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. After all, such a great contribution is well-deserved, but Wang Lang had already received a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal two days ago. Chiang Kai-shek took Jiang Weiguo's proposal with kindness, and awarded the U-1023 submarine a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal (this is the first time that the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal was awarded to non-living people), and then with a big stroke of the pen again, he rewarded [-] oceans for all submarines. member.

Looking at the beaming Chiang Kai-shek and the energetic Wang Lang and other submarine soldiers, Jiang Weiguo was very relieved, because this great war was indeed changed by him to a very good start.

Chapter 182

The headline of the US "Washington Post" on August 8: The battle in Shanghai is extremely fierce!The Japanese army made a bad start!

The headline of the Soviet "Pravda" on August 8: The Chinese army performed brilliantly in Shanghai!The Japanese army is struggling!

The headline of the British "Times" on August 8: The Chinese army caused serious losses to the Japanese army!

The headline of the French "Le Figaro" on August 8: The Chinese army tenaciously resisted the Japanese army!

The headline of the Italian "News" on August 8: The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is amazing!

The headline of the German "Volksobserver" on August 8: The Japanese army has been defeated again and again in Shanghai!

After the outbreak of the Battle of Pingjin, the whole world fixed its eyes on northern China. After the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu, all the powerful countries shifted their attention to Shanghai. With very important personal interests, for a while, Shanghai "made headlines every day", and it was the headlines of major newspapers in the world.

It is not difficult to see from the headlines of major foreign newspapers that the Chinese army held the initiative after the outbreak of the Songhu Battle. On the battlefield, they actually suppressed the "powerful Japanese army".

The "Invincible Imperial Army" of the Japanese Empire, which had already entered the club of world powers, was beaten to disgrace by the Chinese army and lost soldiers repeatedly, which had to surprise all the powers.

The "People's Observer" reported: "...Although the Chinese army is inferior to the Japanese army in terms of modernization, training, and equipment, it also has many advantages and advantages that the Japanese army cannot overcome.

On the Shanghai battlefield, the defensive tactics of the Chinese army were very reasonable, and many Chinese consultants hired by the Chinese army praised them unceasingly.

Wusongkou was the front line, and the Chinese army abandoned the area within a few kilometers of the river bank, because those areas were within the precise range of the Japanese naval artillery bombardment. However, when the landing Japanese army tried to advance inland, it was immediately stubbornly resisted by the Chinese army. And suffered heavy losses again and again.

Amidst the angry Chinese shouting and killing, the Chinese soldiers holding their positions used bullets, artillery shells, and grenades to meet the Japanese army that rushed up like a tide. The armored units of the Chinese army (most of them are German tanks imported from my country) ) and repeatedly took the initiative to attack on local battlefields, constantly tearing apart the Japanese army's overall front and causing further heavy losses to the Japanese army.

The morale of the Chinese army is very high. They are full of confidence in victory. They are conducting defensive warfare as a whole, but their tactics are offensive. They use the overall defense line to block the advance of the main force of the Japanese army. In launching harassment warfare and guerrilla warfare, the cooperation is very close. Chinese soldiers have a very valuable spirit of daring to sacrifice for the country.

A Chinese soldier who participated in the death squad said to our reporter, "I hope to kill two Japanese soldiers before I die in battle, because killing one is only enough money, and killing two is profitable." Their heroic spirit will never lose to the deep Japanese soldiers influenced by Bushido spirit.

…The Chinese Air Force performed equally well, and it can even be said that it performed super-level. The Japanese Navy’s only four aircraft carriers were sunk by the Chinese Air Force, and one was sunk and three were damaged. The land-based air forces of Taiwan and Kyushu, hundreds of kilometers away, did not provide reinforcements in a timely manner. The Chinese Air Force, which became more and more courageous during the Vietnam War, continued to play an important role on the battlefield. Bombing and strafing the Japanese army on the ground, wherever the aircraft fleet went, the Japanese army had to hide in the temporarily dug trenches or foxholes in a panic.

During a certain air raid, more than 300 Japanese soldiers were densely crowded in a straight trench. A Chinese Air Force bf-109 fighter jet fired at the trench from the beginning to the end with aviation cannons and machine guns. The trench was filled with blood and water. All the more than 300 Japanese soldiers hiding inside were either dead or disabled. The dead were smashed to pieces by machine guns, and the wounded were beaten to pieces by machine guns.

The Japanese commander lamented that 'the rampant activity of the Chinese Air Force has caused heavy casualties and losses to our side, and it has seriously hit our side in terms of morale'.

Yesterday afternoon, the Chinese army exchanged the body of a Chinese Air Force pilot with the Japanese army. Although it was the enemy, the Japanese army showed great respect for the Chinese Air Force pilot. They took the initiative to tell the Chinese army After the pilot's plane was shot down by the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun and crashed, the pilot escaped by parachuting, but landed in the Japanese-controlled area. The Japanese army tried to capture the Chinese pilot alive and shouted to persuade him to surrender, but the pilot ignored the Japanese army's shouting. He opened fire with a self-defense pistol to resist, killing and wounding three Japanese soldiers, and finally committed suicide with the last bullet. As the enemy, Japanese soldiers respected the pilot.

In the battle the day before yesterday, the Chinese Air Force dispatched a group of planes to bomb the Japanese fleet on the Yangtze River. Since there were not many bombers (most of the Stuka bombers of the Chinese Air Force were consumed in the attack on the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet), the results were not great. During the battle, a Chinese pilot rammed his plane into the Japanese battleship Mutsu very heroically. In fact, this was an act that was firmly prohibited by the internal regulations of the Chinese Air Force, but there was a reason for it. He was already injured before hitting the Japanese ship. His plane was damaged by the engine and was about to crash. He himself was shattered by the bullets of the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun. He said on the radio, "Although I can escape by parachuting, I will become a Disabled, it is impossible to fly anymore, the pilot can no longer fly into the blue sky is more painful than death, and can no longer serve the country, in this case, let me sacrifice a little more worthwhile', Mutsu The bridge of the USS was violently hit by the plane. Although the giant ship did not suffer major damage, the captain of the ship, Colonel Goto Eiji, and more than a dozen officers on board died in the explosion.

...The Chinese navy is still fighting tenaciously. Although the Chinese navy's surface ships have all been lost except for a small number of them retreating into the inner lake of the Yangtze River, the Chinese navy continues to fulfill its responsibilities and missions.

In Jiangyin, we saw a series of simple boats moving continuously, and there were groups of Chinese naval soldiers with excited faces on board. They belonged to the Chinese navy's mine-laying force, and they used mines to block the river section at the mouth of the Yangtze River. task.

This is a very simple but very important and very effective tactic against the Japanese army. The soldiers of the mine-laying troops planted hundreds of mines from Jiangyin into the Yangtze River. Waiting for the Japanese fleet to come to your door by yourself, the solid mine is a very important and very important means for the Chinese navy to prevent the Japanese fleet from going upstream in the Yangtze River, penetrating into the inland areas of China, and threatening the Chinese capital Nanjing; some are floating mines, floating along the Yangtze River. As the water flows downward, the Yangtze River flows from west to east. Shanghai is the most downstream city of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese fleet is currently concentrated in Shanghai. Therefore, after the Chinese navy's mine-laying troops dropped floating mines in Jiangyin upstream, the floating mines were automatically destroyed by the Yangtze River. They were brought downstream to Shanghai, and then attacked Japanese ships one after another. Every day, more than one Japanese ship was struck by mines and injured. This made the Japanese Navy fleet in China live in fear all day long.

…General Alexander von Falkenhausen (the current head of the German Military Advisory Group in China) inspected the front-line troops repeatedly after the Shanghai campaign began. He was very satisfied and highly praised the bravery of the Chinese government, the Chinese army, and the Chinese people, Serious and industrious, he said, "Although the war has only started a few days ago, the situation was clearly in favor of China in the early stage. As long as it continues, and there are no major changes in the overall situation between China and Japan and the international situation, then Japan will not dispatch more than 40 troops." Wan's army, it is basically impossible to take Shanghai without spending more than six months'.

... "

"Washington Post": "...the heroic and shrewd fighting of the Chinese military is world-renowned. At the same time, we cannot ignore the strong support of the Chinese people for their country and their military.

Although Shanghai was already a war zone, most Shanghai citizens did not leave. On the one hand, they firmly believed that Shanghai could not be occupied by the Japanese army under the protection of their own army, and on the other hand, they wanted to continue to support their own army during the war.

On the battlefield, we can see this scene: the front line, the Chinese army and the Japanese army fought fiercely, the sound of guns and guns was like raindrops, and the sound of explosions was rolling incessantly. On the third and fourth lines of defense, Shanghai's young and middle-aged citizens, whose numbers greatly outnumber the soldiers, and tens of thousands of Chinese civilians who came to Shanghai from other places to assist the army in fighting are sweating profusely, working hard against the clock. They are helping the army build the A line of defense, digging trenches, building fortifications, etc. The most surprising thing is that their work is not paid. The government planned to pay them wages, but almost all civilians refused to accept it. The Chinese government, which is not rich in finances, therefore However, this expenditure was cancelled, and the limited funds were used to distribute military salaries, allowances, and bonuses to the army.

The Chinese civilians without wages did not have any passive sabotage behavior at work. Most of them worked more than ten hours a day, and many even continued to work overtime spontaneously and voluntarily after the arrival of shift replacements, and they fell tired on the construction site It is not uncommon to see some people living on the construction site, and their mothers, wives, and children come to deliver meals to them every day.

…An eight-year-old girl, her mother, and a young Chinese girl carried a bamboo basket full of food to the construction site. The basket was very large and heavy. The little girl carried it very hard but with great effort. We Ask her 'Who are you and mom delivering food to? ’ She said, ‘To Grandpa, Uncle Wang, and Uncle Chen’, and we asked her again, ‘Where is your father? ' She said 'Daddy's up ahead' and she pointed to the distant front where guns were roaring and we ended up asking her 'what's your daddy doing? ' she said very seriously 'hit the Japanese.

We help fight the Japanese, the Japanese are bad guys'.

…The cultural quality of common people in China is generally not high. Nine out of ten Chinese are illiterate. Almost all common people at the bottom of society are illiterate, but they are born with such simple patriotic thoughts.

In Jiangyin and other upstream cities of Shanghai, hundreds of civilian ships came continuously from Jiangsu Province, Anhui Province, Jiangxi Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, and Sichuan Province like a school of fish. Some of these civilian ships were merchant ships, some were cargo ships, some were fishing boats The ferry boats are filled with stones, and the purpose is to block the Yangtze River waterway with sunken ships.

These boat people are well aware of righteousness, and under the government's call, they drove to the Jiangyin area and handed over to the government to sink into the Yangtze River.

The Chinese government pays and compensates the boat people. Each large boat is worth 3 to 5 yuan or [-] to [-] yuan, and each small boat is worth several thousand yuan. The people of the country should contribute. Due to the huge consumption of the war and the government's financial difficulties, the compensation for each ship is calculated at [-]% of the original price'. The boat people expressed their understanding and support for this.

…A shipping company owner donated [-] ships of his company to the government free of charge. Wen didn't want it, he said, "So many national army soldiers on the front line don't even want their lives. I just don't want a ship. What's the point?"Although this boat is my family’s food tool, without it, it would be a big deal to farm or beg for food. The country is in trouble now, and it is natural for the common people to suffer a little bit. If they want to blame, they can only blame the Japanese’.

During this process, a family of boat people from Sichuan Province committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river in Jiangyin. Jiang Weiguo, the second son of Chairman Jiang, rushed to Jiangyin to investigate after learning about it. The cause of the suicide of the boat people from Sichuan was the government issued him The compensation money was embezzled by local officials, and more than 80 boat people collectively filed a lawsuit against Jiang Weiguo, claiming that more than half of their compensation money had been withheld.

Jiang Weiguo thoroughly investigated the local officialdom very angrily. A total of [-] officials were involved in this case. According to Chinese law, only four of these [-] officials were worthy of the death penalty, but Jiang Weiguo ordered all [-] officials to be executed and their corpses displayed in public , he said, "in troubled times, heavy codes should be used, and those who make a fortune in the country, even if they only make a penny, are unforgivable crimes."

Jiang Weiguo, known as the "Second Son of Chiang", performed very well before and during the war. In fact, the Chinese government did not pay much attention to mobilizing the people. The support of the army is just donations of money and materials, and Jiang Weiguo carried it forward. In the Shanghai battlefield alone, no less than 100 million Chinese civilians are directly or indirectly supporting the Chinese army in combat. important reason for victory.

... "

These foreign media will certainly not help the Chinese military to brag and build momentum, and their reports are all true.

The 11rd and No.3000 divisions of the Japanese army repeatedly attacked the national defense line at Wusongkou with 22 troops. After a week of fierce fighting, the Japanese army's eight general attacks were smashed by the national army, and the casualties exceeded 4000 (including drowning. Nearly 8 people from the 22nd Regiment of the Japanese Army in the East China Sea), three regiments were successively disabled, and the counterattack of the National Armored Forces on the night of August 1 alone caused more than 7000 Japanese casualties, More than [-] tons of supplies were destroyed; the national army suffered more than [-] casualties, the position remained unchanged, and the defense line was impregnable.

Although Jiang Weiguo is also a front-line officer, he is definitely not limited to worrying about front-line warfare because of his "heavenly mission". There are many things that need him to deal with, and they are also very cumbersome, such as many details in the war.

In addition to the Japanese, there are three kinds of military animals that are very common in the Japanese army, namely military horses, military pigeons, and military dogs.

The Japanese Dongyang horse is indeed very good. It is the result of large-scale breeding and improvement of foreign horses introduced from Europe and the United States after the Japanese abandoned their native horses. It is also a high-level trophy of the Chinese army; It caused great harm, because the communication level of the Japanese army was not high, and the penetration rate of radio stations in the army was very low, so they relied heavily on the primitive communication method of flying pigeons to send letters. Each wing of the Japanese army had a communication squadron, and each communication squadron Equipped with a squad of military pigeons, the Chinese army regards the hunting of Japanese military pigeons as a very important event on the battlefield. It is worth mentioning that Japanese military pigeons, like their military horses, are world-renowned in breed. First-class, bringing together the top pigeon breeds in Japan and abroad.

Among these three animals, the most directly harmful and the most hated by the Chinese are the Japanese military dogs.

The Japanese military dog ​​is the famous wolf green dog, and the blood of the wolf green dog comes from the German shepherd dog.

In the last World War, the Japanese army sent troops to Germany to occupy Qingdao, captured a large German dog farm in Qingdao, and then used the German shepherd dogs in the dog farm to carefully breed Japanese native wolf green dogs.

The wolf green dog was used by the Japanese army for tracking and communication on the battlefield (sometimes it was also used to torture and execute captives, which is commonly known as "dog execution" in later generations), and then caused a major threat and heavy loss to the Chinese army. The ambushes set up are often destroyed by the dog's nose of the wolf and green dog. The retreating Chinese army will be chased by the Japanese army because of the wolf and green dog's pursuit. .
