I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

On the Pingjin battlefield and the Songhu battlefield, many national army troops mentioned in the battle records reported by the Japanese wolf and green dogs that they destroyed their own side.

Looking at these reports, Jiang Weiguo was also very interested and felt a headache: "Little Japan's wolf and green dogs are indeed very powerful. Is there any way to deal with them?" He gave an order to the Maritime Statistics Bureau, "See if there are military dogs and police dogs in our country. Experts, come back and consult!"

The Bureau of Maritime Statistics was very effective, and soon sent Jiang Weiguo a local Chinese dog training expert. This person is the director of the Police Dog Department of the Nanjing Central Police Academy, and his name is Dong Hanliang (Dong Hanliang is the pioneer of Chinese police dog science and military dog ​​science). .

"Actually, it's not difficult to deal with!" Dong Hanliang said to Jiang Weiguo with confidence, "I have noticed the Japanese wolf green dog and looked for a way to deal with it. In Changhua County, Zhejiang Province, there is a kind of native dog called 'bench dog'. Small in stature but tough and brave, docile, obedient, and loyal. As long as they are carefully trained, this kind of bench dog in our country can defeat the Japanese wolf green dog on the battlefield.

The bench dog is small, and the wolf green dog is very tall and strong, so the bench dog can bite the wolf green dog by the throat in one bite!"

"Okay!" Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed, "Mr. Dong, what do you need?"

Dong Hanliang showed a blushing expression: "We need funds.

Our country has never paid much attention to police dogs and military dogs, so..."

Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "The matter of funds is on my shoulders, you can just let go and do it!"

Although the Chinese army is currently fighting against the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield, and is also fighting the Japanese army on the Pingjin battlefield, many shortcomings of the Chinese army have been exposed during the battle, and some of the Japanese army's tactics are also very worthy of China. The attention of the army.

From a tactical point of view, the Chinese army's ability to defend against enemy penetration is relatively low. The Japanese army has repeatedly used a "detachment breakthrough tactic", that is, dispatching several squadron-level or even small-unit-level troops, with the help of darkness, smog, bad weather, and artillery cover. Waiting for cover, even pretending to be Chinese civilians or the Chinese army, sneaking into the weak points of the Chinese army's defense line, follow-up artillery precisely positioned, and continued shelling to cover these squads. When the Japanese artillery stopped, these squads had quietly When under the nose of the Chinese army, it "breaks up into parts" when sneaking, and "breaks up into parts" when it suddenly launches an attack, which has a great surprise effect (in the original history, the Chinese army's core position in Shanghai, Dachang Township It was broken by the Japanese tactic).

Shanghai is the most frontier battlefield in East China. According to the prediction of the Chinese Command, if Shanghai falls unfortunately, the national army will still have the "Sekt Line of Defense" between Shanghai and Nanjing to continue to resist the Japanese army. This Sekt Line of Defense consists of a large number of trenches. It seems to be unbreakable, but in fact there is a very serious flaw, that is, "too shallow in depth". Like the Great Wall, it is very long but very narrow. Therefore, as long as the Japanese army concentrates their firepower on one point of the defense line and launches a key attack and breakthrough, it will collapse. The entire line of defense (in the original history, the Japanese High Command predicted that it would take the Japanese army two months to break through the Sekt line of defense. In fact, Matsui Iwane only took two short days. His tactic was to concentrate all the Japanese troops. Large-caliber heavy artillery bombarded one point of the defense line with super-intensity, blasting a big gap, and the follow-up troops of the Japanese army swarmed in like a flood, and the Chinese army fell into chaos and defeat across the board).

What made Jiang Weiguo very disturbed was that because the national army fought "too well" at the beginning of the Songhu battle, there was actually a voice of "decisive battle in Shanghai" among the senior officials in Nanjing.

Originally, the National Army High Command’s perception of the Battle of Songhu was: Shanghai will be lost sooner or later, and the National Army will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese army in Shanghai. Before the fall, the Japanese army was hit hard. The war can be divided into three parts, namely: preemptive attack, retreat when it is good, and retreat; but now, some high-level officials have actually put forward this statement: the Japanese army suffered heavy losses under the head-on attack of the national army. The combat effectiveness is nothing more than that. It can be seen from this that the national army can completely defend Shanghai. If this is the case, why is it planning to abandon Shanghai?It is better to continue to increase the number of troops in Shanghai, directly launch a full-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army in Shanghai, defend Shanghai, and at the same time wipe out 20 or even 30 Japanese troops, and at the same time also severely injure the Japanese army on the Pingjin battlefield. The high-level leaders were afraid of China, made compromises, and accepted the peaceful mediation of the great powers. If done well, the Sino-Japanese war could end within a few months of its start.

"Are you kidding me!" Jiang Weiguo was indignant, "Are those people stupid? The Sino-Japanese war was destined to be an extremely long and arduous all-out war. We had already prepared for a protracted war, but in the end there was a 'decisive battle in Shanghai'." ', isn't this the 'quick victory theory'?" He was very anxious, because this kind of quick victory theory was very harmful to China's war of resistance against Japan.

What disturbed Jiang Weiguo the most was that his father, Chiang Kai-shek, was quite interested in the proposal of a "decisive battle in Shanghai". It will be over in a few months" is exactly what Chiang Kai-shek has dreamed of, and he cannot be indifferent.

"Oops!" Jiang Weiguo cried out secretly after learning about this, "He won't start commanding blindly again, right?" I worked my ass off in Shanghai like that.

Chapter 183 New Situation

The scorching sun is in the sky, and everything is silent.

In the tranquility of stagnant water, a dead tree with only charred branches left leaned alone among the black and red powdery scorched earth. Inserted into the trunk, there are several black-covered crows perched on the branches, and pairs of small eyes are looking around vigilantly. After a while, one of them made a hoarse cry of "quack" and flew down from the branch with flapping wings. The crows also flew down one after another, and landed among the corpses of people strewn about everywhere, immediately disturbing flies buzzing like dark clouds.

The pungent smell of corpses attracts these crows, and the corpses that decompose quickly in the midsummer heat and humid steam are the gluttonous feast of these crows and those flies.

Among the corpses, the crows were ecstatically jumping, rummaging, and pecking. Their sharp beaks might pick up a dull eyeball, tear apart a piece of pus-drenched flesh, or tear off a piece of flesh. Cut the rotten intestines full of maggots.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the clear sky shrouded in dazzling sunlight, and the crows who were busy with feasting immediately fluttered their wings and took off in unison.

After the thunder, the lightning came. Amidst the screams of the air being torn apart, waves of meteors flew from one end of the earth to the other at lightning speed, and then burst into boiling fireballs on the ground.

"Hidden! Hide quickly!" On the national army's position, the officers who shuttled back and forth in the trenches shouted, "The Japanese army is shelling!"

In the former enemy headquarters, the senior generals raised their binoculars worriedly: "The artillery fire of the Japanese army is getting stronger and stronger!"

On the Japanese artillery positions a few kilometers away, heavy howitzers with a caliber of up to 120 mm or 149.1 mm were lined up in a majestic steel phalanx, constantly erupting into the sky like volcanoes. Heavy artillery shells were continuously pushed into the barrel, and then roared towards the target in the angry red fire and white light. The strong air waves from the shells ejected from the shells shook the whole artillery group, flying sand and rocks.

Around the artillery positions, observers holding binoculars looked at the sky vigilantly. In the smoky blue sky, a group of shiny silver planes came through the clouds and fog.

"The planes of the Chinese Army are coming!" The observers shouted hoarsely.

"How many? What type of machine?" The officer asked anxiously.

"More than 30! All German-made fighter jets!" shouted an observer.

"There are bombers! Six American-made Martin bombers!" Another observer hurriedly added.

"The anti-aircraft guns are ready to fire!" The officer ordered sharply, "Contact the Third Flying Regiment!"

The Chinese Air Force fleet that came from the sky rushed towards the Japanese heavy artillery group on the ground like a goshawk, and the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns guarding the heavy artillery group immediately fired fiercely into the air. Rising from the ground and rolling towards the sky, the Chinese fleet in the sky moved and flew to avoid the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower network and launched an attack recklessly. Several planes were caught off guard by the Japanese bombs and fire, either exploding in the air or dragging thick smoke It fell to the ground, and at the same time, rolling bombs fell from the sky, and several heavy Japanese artillery guns flew across the sky in an instant in the fireball.

In the sky, another batch of planes roared in from the opposite bank of the Yangtze River. The blood-red military emblem of the Rising Sun was sprayed on the wings. The fleets of both sides immediately started fighting in the air with lightning, thunder and stars.

On the ground, the Japanese heavy artillery group continued to burst into flames. In front of the heavy artillery group, tens of thousands of Japanese infantry were ready to go. After the shelling, following the command of the commander howling like a wolf, the Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains stepped on the scorched earth under their feet. , corpses, pools of blood, once again launched a powerful attack.

On the position of the national army flying the flag of the blue sky and white sun, the same earth-shattering shouts of killing erupted suddenly at the same time.

After the hand-to-hand combat, the two armies immediately fell into a storm-like firepower net, and death and blood spread crazily again.

Jiang Weiguo and Zhang Zhizhong stood together in the former enemy headquarters two or three kilometers away from the front line. Both of them held binoculars, their expressions were gloomy, and their hearts were a little heavy.

"The chairman and some high-level officials are actually planning to start a decisive battle with the Japanese in Shanghai!" Zhang Zhizhong said with a wry smile, "Although we are not afraid of the Japanese, we must not underestimate the Japanese. How can the Japanese be so easy to fight! The Japanese army Our heavy artillery and aircraft have been strengthened. After all, our air force is very short of bombers, and it is difficult to cause a powerful air strike against the Japanese army.

You see, the air force fleet’s attack on the Japanese heavy artillery group just now was not ideal, it only destroyed a few Japanese heavy artillery, but it lost a total of seven precious aircraft!”

Lieutenant General Huang Qixiang, the deputy commander of the 9th Army standing beside the two, also expressed worry: "After the Japanese artillery force has been strengthened, the Japanese army must use heavy artillery groups to provide nearby firepower reinforcements for every infantry attack, so that they can fight steadily and advance step by step. At this time, the Japanese army had penetrated more than 20 kilometers inland at the Wusongkou landing field. Our army retreated an average of two to three kilometers every day. The beachhead is on offensive defense!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded.

It was September 9 at this time, and the Battle of Songhu, which officially broke out on August 1, had lasted for ten days. Although the Japanese army could not talk about a comeback, it was indeed no longer as passive as it was a few days before the start of the war.

On August 8th, the Japanese army assembled more than 28 engineers and two brigades, and suddenly landed on Chongming Island, the third largest island in China, which is adjacent to Shanghai Beach and located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. There is no Chinese army on the island. Therefore, the island was captured by the Japanese army without bloodshed. The Japanese army immediately built a temporary field airport that could accommodate 1000 aircraft in just one night in Shuhe Town on the island. The two Japanese air teams from Kyushu Island and Kyushu quickly entered Shuhe Town Airport and were jointly organized into the Japanese Independent Third Flying Regiment directly under the Shanghai Expeditionary Army Headquarters, headed by Major General He Zhongzhi.

From this day on, the sky of the Songhu battlefield is no longer dominated by the Chinese Air Force.

Before the Battle of Songhu, the National Army Command had basically never considered sending troops to garrison Chongming Island. First of all, although Chongming Island is close to Shanghai, it is the third largest island in China and the largest in the Yangtze River, but its strategic value does not seem to be significant. Gao, since the target of the Japanese army is Shanghai, there is no need to buy a basket for the pearl and chase after the end. Secondly, Chongming Island is not small, nearly 1300 square kilometers. If this big island is stationed, how many troops will it send?Send elite troops or miscellaneous troops?If a large number of troops or elite troops were sent, but the Japanese army did not attack Chongming Island at all during the war, wouldn't the troops sent to Chongming Island be a waste of military power?If a small group of troops or miscellaneous troops were sent, and the Japanese army really attacked Chongming Island, what would be the use of the troops on the island?What's more, Chongming Island is an island surrounded by water. After the war, the Japanese army must have absolute command of the sea. Chongming Island was already under the control of the Japanese army before the war. How to withdraw the troops on the island?The waters on all sides of the island are controlled by the Japanese army. Wouldn't the troops on the island become a lone army waiting to die?Because of this, the National Army Command only ordered the evacuation and evacuation of 10,000+ residents on Chongming Island, and did not send troops to garrison and defend Chongming Island, which is equivalent to abandoning Chongming Island by default.

Jiang Weiguo also thought about this matter. He searched his memory repeatedly. It seems that he had never heard of the "Battle of Chongming Island" during the Anti-Japanese War, nor that the national army and the Japanese army fought for Chongming Island, so he was also giving up Chongming. Island has taken a tacit attitude on this matter.

However, Jiang Weiguo ignored the "butterfly effect". Since history has been changed by him, the Japanese side will definitely change accordingly. Many things are completely different from the original history, and more and more things are affected. Unrecognizable.

The Japanese army, struggling to gain a foothold in Shanghai, immediately adapted to local conditions and easily took Chongming Island, built an airport on the island, and used the island as the Shanghai frontline general rear base for the Japanese army to gather troops and store supplies.

After discovering the actions of the Japanese army on Chongming Island, the national army dispatched an air force fleet to launch an attack. However, due to the lack of bombers in the air force, the few remaining bombers could not withstand high-intensity consumption, so they were unable to bomb the Japanese air force base on the island and material base.

It is also worth mentioning that although the Japanese army has aircraft on the Songhu battlefield, they are still unable to compete with the Chinese Air Force for air supremacy. The Japanese army is very self-aware. The aircraft are used to protect the heavy artillery units. They only passively defend and do not take the initiative to attack. (The Japanese army already knew that the Chinese Air Force did not have many bombers, so even if the air supremacy was taken away by the Chinese army, the Japanese army would not be severely hit, so they gave up the fight).

In response to the defeat at the beginning of the war, General Matsui and other high-ranking Japanese troops, after repeated research, felt that "insufficient artillery firepower was the main reason why the imperial army's offensive was difficult to carry out". A group of landing troops, but concentrated transport capacity to transport heavy artillery units.

独立野战重炮兵第10、第15联队以及独立野战重炮兵第2、第3、第4大队共五支日军重炮兵部队先后抵达上海，累计共超过130门口径达到105毫米、120毫米、149.1毫米的榴弹炮。

The arrival of this batch of heavy artillery greatly enhanced the intensity of Japanese artillery fire on the Songhu battlefield, and also greatly increased the speed of Japanese advance on the battlefield.

Faced with the threat of Japanese naval artillery fire, the national army backed away and retreated to a zone where it was difficult for the Japanese naval artillery to bombard precisely. However, facing the firepower of the Japanese heavy artillery advancing with the Japanese infantry, the national army could only fight recklessly.

The national army on the Songhu battlefield only had one heavy artillery regiment (Jiang Weiguo's 14th artillery regiment), and with limited capital, it was certainly impossible to launch a firepower confrontation with the Japanese heavy artillery group.

"...Before the Japanese army launched another attack, they first bombarded our positions with heavy artillery groups, and then used infantry troops to attack intensively. The quality of the Japanese artillery is extremely high, and the artillery fire is extremely accurate. Step forward.

...The shells of our officers and soldiers kept falling on their heads, and the Japanese army continued to attack in front of them. Although they had the determination to kill the enemy and serve the country and the courage to face death as home, it was difficult for the flesh and blood to resist the suppression of the Japanese army's powerful artillery fire!" Zhang Zhizhong gave Chiang Kai-shek a described in a military report.

On September 9st, the Chinese army suffered its first major defeat after the start of the war between China and Japan, and Pingjin fell.

平津会战于7月27日爆发，于8月31日正式结束，持续35天。

General Song Zheyuan, the deputy commander of the first theater and the former commander-in-chief of the Pingjin battlefield, announced on August 8 that the participating troops would abandon Pingjin and retreat across the board.

During the entire battle, the Chinese side invested about 50 troops into the battle, and the Japanese side invested about 20 troops into the battle. The battle finally ended with the Japanese army winning. The Japanese army first captured Tianjin on August 8, and then captured Peiping on August 10. , The Battle of Tianjin (Battle of Tianjin) and the Battle of Beiping (Battle of Beiping) are the two cores of the entire battle, and they were fought extremely fiercely.

In this battle, China announced its own casualties of 11 people and more than 5 Japanese soldiers; Japan announced its own casualties of more than 2 people and 20 Chinese soldiers; , The casualties of the Chinese army exceeded 15 officers and soldiers, and the loss of the Japanese army should be around 4.

Lieutenant General Tong Linge and Lieutenant General Zhao Dengyu of the Chinese army, including seven general-level officers, died for their country in the battle. Among them, the Chinese troops with the heaviest losses were the Northeast Army and the Small Northwest Army, 6 armies of the Northeast Army and 2 of the Small Northwest Army. More than half of the army suffered casualties, and there was also Jiang Weiguo's 918th regiment.

The 918th regiment is the direct line of the direct line, but because of this, the less afraid of losses, the more courageous to participate in the most dangerous battles, so the losses are very huge.

The Battle of Pingjin is definitely not a victory for the Chinese army, but in any case, even if it fails after a bloody battle, it is an honor to lose, and it is better than fleeing without a fight in the original history.

Although the ratio of killing 15 enemies and [-] self-defeating is not very good, Jiang Weiguo knows that Song Zheyuan and other frontline generals have tried their best. After all, the national army on the Songhu battlefield is basically the central army, but the national army on the Pingjin battlefield It is a hodgepodge of miscellaneous troops from various factions, with poor command and military orders. It is already remarkable to be able to achieve this record.

Even so, Jiang Weiguo's heart was still very heavy. He sent a telegram to Du Yuming: "How much?"

Du Yuming called back: "Eighty-five percent!"

Both parties were concise and clear.

Jiang Weiguo was heartbroken immediately.

After the fall of Pingjin, Song Zheyuan originally planned to gather his troops to Baoding in the central part of Hebei Province to stabilize and keep central and southern Hebei. In contrast, more than half of the elite troops of the national army and those who are not afraid of sacrifice have been lost on the Pingjin battlefield. Their morale and vigor have been greatly frustrated. Due to the power of the mind, none of the troops was willing to go to the front to withstand the menacing Japanese army, and they fled southward in a swarm. As a result, the "Baoding Defense War" in Song Zheyuan's concept did not start at all. Baoding was captured lightly, and then another hundred miles of land was plundered. It was not until the capture of Shimen City (Shijiazhuang) that the Japanese army stopped attacking.

The national army that participated in the war was finally defeated and fled to Handan, Xingtai and other areas in southern Hebei, and four-fifths of Hebei Province fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not continue to expand its victories in Hebei Province and North China. It was not because the Japanese army was merciful, but because the Japanese army was short of troops. Because according to the order of the Japanese Army High Command, the three Japanese army divisions that were originally planned to be transferred to North China were transferred to East China. , Even the "North China Dispatch Army" itself received an order to transfer troops to Shanghai to participate in the war.

At this time, the Japanese High Command, like the Chinese side, focused the war on Shanghai and East China.

Chapter 184 Special Warfare

At [-] o'clock in the morning on September [-], the weather in Chongming Island was cloudy due to the influence of the South China typhoon.

竖河镇野外一片树林里，日军第3师团第5旅团第6联队第3大队第1中队第1小队小队长小林茂少尉正在尽忠职守地带领着自己的小队执行着巡逻戒备任务。

In the wind and rain, the Japanese soldiers in the team were all drenched, and their spirits were a little depressed. The reason for their low mood was not entirely due to the weather, but the main reason was the battle in front of them.

As the first batch of troops to land at Wusongkou, the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army suffered a near-destructive blow. The casualties accounted for three-quarters of the total number of the entire Wing, and more than 200 people were killed.

According to the normal establishment of the Japanese army, the number of a small team (the specification is equal to the platoon of the Chinese army, but the size is equal to the reinforced platoon of the Chinese army) is between 50 and 70 people, but Xiaolin's team actually only has 24 people at this time. Those dozens of people are either lying in the hospital for wounded soldiers moaning in pain, or they have been turned into a pile of ashes in the urn, or they are still rotting and stinking scattered on the frontline battlefield, and then fatten the flowers and plants in China Or become a feast for Chinese flies, crows and wild dogs. In fact, the team leader, Second Lieutenant Kobayashi, was originally just a team leader in the team (the Japanese army team is equal to the Chinese army squad, and the scale is slightly larger. A team generally has 13 people). Because the former team leader, Lieutenant Kameda, was killed in the fierce battle, Second Lieutenant Kobayashi was able to go up.

Thinking of Lieutenant Kameda's death, Lieutenant Kobayashi shuddered.

In the fierce battle, Lieutenant Kameda displayed the courageous spirit of the imperial soldiers and rushed to the front of the team. As a result, he stepped on a landmine of the Chinese army. The vital organs in the lieutenant's crotch were beaten to pieces, Lieutenant Kameda shot himself with a pistol on the spot before he could wait to be carried down for medical treatment.

"I really want to go home..." Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin secretly thought in his heart more than once.

It should be admitted that the spiritual will of most of the Japanese officers and soldiers is very tenacious (after all, this is the early stage of the war, and the Japanese officers and soldiers are basically elite veterans who have been well-trained and "passed through thought"), but the cruel actual combat is enough to induce People’s primitive nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, after all, there is still a big gap between reality and imagination. At least the war in reality is not as full of romanticism as in propaganda posters or propaganda movies. It turned into a pile of minced meat soaked in blood in an instant, and even veterans who had experienced many battles couldn't really get used to it and remain indifferent.

Second Lieutenant Kobayashi really missed his hometown in the Nagoya countryside (the Japanese Third Division was organized in the Nagoya area, so the division was also called the Nagoya Division.

).
