I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"It probably won't be that fast!" Jiang Weiguo said, "That old devil Masaki Ito is desperately trying to rescue Sato, and his divisions are already under pressure. We have to allocate a large part of our troops to block the 102nd Brigade. As a result, we have a slight shortage of troops to annihilate the 101st Brigade, probably until tomorrow night!" (The 101st Division has the 101st and 102nd Brigades under its jurisdiction.

）

Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, and asked: "Since your chemical troops have caused such a heavy blow to the Japanese army, our army naturally did not pay too much casualty price, can it be..." He coughed dryly with a little embarrassment, "Expand the results of the battle again. ?”

"Put the 102nd Brigade back into Sandun Town? Wipe out the 101st Division?" Jiang Weiguo's tone became lukewarm, "Father, I want to retire, I quit, I want to go to the rear or abroad! "

"Understood!" Chiang Kai-shek sighed helplessly, "It is enough to eat the 101st Brigade, and you have to remember! Don't do anything wrong!" He said in a stern tone, "The last time your troops burned The hospital for wounded soldiers of the Japanese army has already caused a lot of trouble, and this time they openly used chemical weapons on the battlefield and blamed the Japanese! Do you know how much negative impact this will bring to the government?"

"Got it! Got it! I promise I won't be an example!" Jiang Weiguo hung up the phone impatiently, "Father, I'm still busy, so I won't bother you!"

That night, a piece of bad news cast a shadow over the Hudong battlefield that was originally more beneficial to the national army.

At around [-] o'clock, Yang Jiang, the deputy director of the Shanghai Station of the Maritime Statistics Bureau, sent Jiang Weiguo two copies of the latest information just obtained by the Maritime Statistics Bureau.

"Boss, the three transport fleets of the Japanese army departed from Tianjin, Dalian, and Keelung this afternoon. The destinations of the three fleets are all in Shanghai. The three fleets carry a large amount of supplies and a large number of soldiers!" Yang Jiang said eagerly, " These are three reinforcements from the Japanese army. If they land in Hudong, the situation in Hudong will deteriorate again.

These three fleets will probably arrive in Shanghai one after another tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Weiguo held back the irritability in his heart and lit a cigarette: "Have you found out the specific situation? What troops? How many troops?"

Yang Jianghui reported: "Don't worry, bureau chiefs, our investigation is fairly clear.

The Japanese army departing from Tianjin is the "Miura Detachment", which was formed by the 5st Brigade of the 21th Division originally stationed in North China, with a total strength of about 4000 people!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded.

The 5th Division belongs to the Japanese "North China Dispatch Army" and mainly governs the 9th and 21st Brigades. The division suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Pingjin. Because of the shortage of Japanese troops, the 9st Brigade of the division was also sent to Shanghai to participate in the war and was formed as the "Miura Detachment" (because the head of the 21st Brigade was called Major General Miura Toshiji). However, when the Kunisaki Detachment was formed , The 21st Brigade added a large number of troops from the brigade to the 21th Brigade, bringing the Kunisaki Detachment to more than 9 troops. At present, the Miura Detachment cannot be replenished, and its strength is relatively small, only about 4000 troops.

Yang Jiang continued: "The Japanese troops departing from Dalian are actually not real Japanese troops, but the Puppet Manchukuo Army, including the 5th and 10th Mixed Infantry Brigades and the 1st and 7th Cavalry Brigades of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, a total of 4 brigades. A total of about 1.5 troops, equipped with half-day equipment!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded again.

Yang Jiang continued: "The Japanese troops departing from Keelung are Japan's 'Taiwan Army', organized at the detachment level, and the commander is Major General Shigeto Chiaki. The total strength of the army is about 1, and the equipment is completely Japanese-style!" (The Taiwan army actually has 1.4 people at this time, but it must retain a certain number of troops to garrison Taiwan, so the number of troops to participate in the war in Shanghai is about 1.

）

Jiang Weiguo was very upset when he heard that, because among the three Japanese troops that were marching towards Shanghai, two were composed of Chinese, and among the three troops, the Miura detachment composed of pure Japanese was the smallest in number. .

Whether it is the Puppet Manchukuo Army from the Northeast or the Taiwanese Japanese Army from Taiwan, except for the Japanese advisers, most of them are out-and-out descendants of the Yellow Emperor. They should have fought side by side with their compatriots to fight against the Japanese pirates. For various reasons, they followed the Japanese and beat up their compatriots in the name of a tiger.

In fact, in a sense, the puppet Manchukuo army is the army of "Manchukuo", neither the Chinese army nor the Japanese army. Nationality of Japan.

(It is worth mentioning that the fighting power of the Taiwanese army is very strong, even surpassing that of the average Japanese army, and they are loyal to Japan and the Japanese emperor, and they spare no effort in carrying out their missions. Make great achievements.

）

With a complicated mentality, Jiang Weiguo immediately handed over the latest information to Huang Wei, Zheng Dongguo and others.

Chapter 206

"All of a sudden three reinforcements came..." Huang Wei, who was having dinner in the general headquarters, immediately put down his rice bowl and worked hard on the map on the wall. "The 101st Division is still struggling again. Our army wants to wipe out the 101st Brigade. ...I'm afraid it won't be so easy to handle..." His expression immediately became worried.

"The Miura detachment of the Japanese army has [-] troops, the four brigades of the Puppet Manchukuo Army have [-] troops, and the Taiwan Army has about [-] troops!" Zheng Dongguo looked at the map with the same gloomy expression, "Almost [-] reinforcements!"

"Not that many!" Xiao Yao said, "Although the Puppet Manchukuo Army's combat effectiveness is not weak (because the Puppet Manchukuo Army has been sent by the Japanese to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese troops in the Northeast all year round, the actual combat experience is relatively rich), but the fighting will is weak. , the equipment is not very good, so the [-] puppet Manchukuo troops are at most equivalent to [-] Japanese troops!" On the one hand, they are worried about arming the Chinese on a large scale, so they have always been very suspicious and wary of the Puppet Manchurian Army. In addition, the Japanese have only controlled the Northeast for six years, which is not a long time. I am Chinese, so the puppet Manchukuo army is basically undyingly loyal to the Japanese, which in turn causes the Japanese to further distrust the puppet Manchukuo army.

The Puppet Manchukuo Army had more than 1935 troops before August 8, but it had been reduced to less than 15 by the Japanese at this time, because the Puppet Manchukuo Army often had uprisings, riots, mutinies and other anti-Japanese incidents.

）

"The Taiwanese army should be about the same as the puppet Manchukuo army?" Ji Zhangjian said, "We are all Chinese. Even if they were forced by the Japanese and had to open fire on us, they should have done nothing!"

"No!" Xiao Yao firmly shook his head, "The Taiwan Army is different from the Puppet Manchukuo Army, the Taiwan Army is the Japanese Army, both in name and in substance.

[-] Taiwanese troops are equivalent to [-] Japanese troops!"

"How could this be?" Ji Zhangjian and other officers were very surprised.

"Because Taiwan has been ruled by the Japanese for more than 40 years, all young people in Taiwan today have grown up under the banner of the sun, the national anthem of "The King of the King", and the influence of the "Imperial People's Thought". Their loyalty to the Japanese Emperor They are not inferior to young people in Japan, and they don’t think they are Chinese at all, they only think they are Japanese!” Xiao Yao’s expression was tense, and there was something very complicated in his tone, “Even, because the Japanese occupation of Taiwan Years of brainwashing and vilification of the mainland by the authorities have made young people in Taiwan generally loathe, spurn and even hate mainlanders.

"Leaving China and entering Japan" is the mainstream thinking of young people in Taiwan. In order to completely get rid of the shadow that they are descendants of Chinese people, they will completely cut off their relationship with China, completely prove their loyalty to Japan and the emperor, and completely gain access to Japan. With the same status as the Japanese, they have completely won the approval of the native Japanese, and fought more fiercely, loyally, and bravely than the native Japanese army!" Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, "The more Chinese soldiers killed, the more capable the Japanese army in Taiwan will be." A means to prove to the Japanese government that they are real Japanese!"

Ji Zhangjian and other officers were a little dazed when they heard this, Zheng Dongguo asked Xiao Yao, "Why are you so sure?"

Xiao Yao looked at Zheng Dongguo: "Because, I am from Taiwan!"

It was only then that Jiang Weiguo remembered that Xiao Yao was indeed from Taiwan.

Xiao Yao continued: "[-] Japanese troops are [-] Japanese troops, [-] Puppet Manchukuo troops are equal to [-] Japanese troops, and [-] Taiwan troops are equal to [-] Japanese troops. Therefore, the Japanese reinforcements that are about to reinforce Hudong are equal to [-] Japanese troops!"

The atmosphere in the conference room froze for a moment, Huang Wei said: "[-] Japanese troops, our pressure is too great!"

"More than that!" Xiao Yao pointed at the map, "The Battle of Sandun Town was a land battle, we are all used to it, but we may have overlooked that Sandun Town is only eight kilometers away from the sea! This means that Sandun Town and Within eight kilometers from Sandun Town to the sea, Japanese naval guns can carry out precise bombardment (although naval guns cannot accurately bomb targets eight kilometers away in theory, there are Japanese troops in Sandun Town, and the Japanese army in Sandun Town can take The exact coordinates of the national army are sent to the Japanese warships, and the Japanese naval guns can naturally launch precise bombardment, which is the same as the national army artillery group can accurately bombard the Japanese army through the national army special forces)! In the next battle, we must really It's a hard battle! The power of the Japanese naval guns, you officers should be aware of it, right?"

Jiang Weiguo and the others couldn't help but smile wryly.

On the Hudong battlefield, the largest caliber model of the Japanese heavy artillery participating in the war was 150 mm, while the maximum caliber of the Japanese naval gun was 410 mm, which is not at the same level at all.

"It's actually not that difficult for the Japanese army to rescue the 101st Division. It's just that the Japanese army has always been ulterior motives, and we took advantage of the loophole!" Xiao Yao continued to say frustrating words, "Now , the Japanese army became angry from embarrassment and acted with sincerity, we couldn't stand it!"

"Not necessarily?" Ji Zhangjian said, "The dive bombers of our air force and the torpedo boats and submarines of the navy have all successfully beaten the Japanese navy. I think that even if the Japanese fleet goes to the seaside of Hudong, it will not be so presumptuous! "

Xiao Yao shook his head: "There are too few dive bombers, and torpedo boats and submarines can only engage in sneak attacks and cannot attack directly. The Japanese fleet is indeed a little afraid, but it is not enough to give up eating because of choking!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and looked at Xiao Yao: "What should we do now?"

Xiao Yao's attitude is straightforward: "Whether it is considered strategically or tactically, Hudong must be abandoned!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled wryly again. Chiang Kai-shek is now eagerly waiting for the news of the complete annihilation of the 101st Brigade, and he is also greedy to carry out the "second expansion" of the results and plan to wipe out the 101st Division. At this time, let him He ordered the abandonment of Hudong and the complete annihilation of the 101st Brigade. One can imagine his attitude.

Huang Wei looked at Jiang Weiguo: "Jianhao, I'm going to resign from my job. You can call the chairman and discuss with the chairman to see if it's okay!" He meant a lot, and there was a sense of helplessness in his words and expressions. suffering.

Jiang Weiguo smiled wryly again: "Actually, I don't fight, and I know what my father's attitude is!"

"Try it!" Huang Wei sighed.

After biting the bullet and getting through the phone with Chiang Kai-shek, the facts did not meet Jiang Weiguo's expectations.

If someone else reported this to Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek would have been furious long ago, but Jiang Weiguo is Jiang Weiguo after all, so Chiang Kai-shek did not get angry, but he was obviously very unhappy, and his voice was mixed with resentment, annoyance, disappointment and strong unwillingness.

"Wei'er, what's going on here? Didn't you fight well in Hudong? Didn't you mean that the 101st Brigade could be wiped out tomorrow night? Why are you suddenly giving up Hudong now? ...I'm not I don’t understand your difficulties. I no longer intend to ask you to wipe out the 101st Division, but the original plan you are very confident in is to wipe out the 101st Brigade! Even this is not enough? The Japanese reinforcements are only 3. More than half of them are puppet troops. The situation shouldn’t be that serious, right?…Don’t give me an analysis of these reasons. Overemphasizing the reasons is just making excuses! I have sent the two new armies that arrived in Nanjing these days to Hudong for reinforcements , The Japanese army is increasing its troops, so we can do the same!...Didn’t the navy and the air force fight very well a while ago? The navy defeated the Japanese navy in the Huangpu River Battle and the East China Sea Battle, and the air force was at the mouth of the Yangtze River last time The four aircraft carriers of the Japanese army were sank and three were seriously injured. This shows that our navy and air force are not vulnerable! I will let the navy and air force fully support the army and the battle in Shanghai and East! What?...I know the threat of Japanese naval guns It’s very big, but there are sacrifices in war! Valuable sacrifices are worth it! You have persisted for so long in Hudong, and when you are about to succeed, you give up lightly and fall short. Isn’t it a pity?…Okay, I’m stubborn? You say I'm stubborn? Wei'er, I think you are too impatient! After all, you are the middle-level commander on the front line, but your father and I are the commander-in-chief of the army! I have to think about things from the perspective of the country!...I My attitude is that the Hudong war must go on! Keep fighting! Until you win! This is an order! I am giving you an order now as the chairman of the committee! I am giving orders to Chen Cheng, Huang Wei, Zheng Dongguo and others!...Wei Son, um...I understand your impatience. You didn't speak well just now. Of course I don't blame you...I accept your apology. You are also working hard on the front line. Father, I have seen your hard work and dedication. Here...the National Government has repeatedly hinted in its external statements that the 101st Brigade will be wiped out by the National Army. If the plan is cancelled, what face will the National Government have? Wouldn't it be ridiculous in the international arena?...Yes, yes, you and I will have each other I understand, but you must listen to me in this Hudong operation! The plan to gather and annihilate the 101st Brigade must continue! I don’t believe that the remaining 2000 Japanese troops in Sandun Town can really escape the national army’s net! Okay, That's it, um... I will take care of my body, and you should also pay attention to safety. Bullets don't have eyes on the battlefield. Father, I absolutely don't want you to have any troubles...Okay, okay, um, um, that's it, um!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Weiguo broke out in a cold sweat. In the argument just now, he was so angry that he said that Chiang Kai-shek was "stubborn". Chiang Kai-shek suddenly became angry, which caused the father and son to almost explode Fortunately, he reined in the precipice in time and apologized to Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, Chiang Kai-shek would not be so stingy and would argue with his son, so there were no serious consequences. However, Chiang Wei-kuo was indeed trying his best to persuade Chiang Kai-shek. The result was obvious. Chiang Kai-shek would not give up the 101st The brigade is a piece of fat that has reached its mouth and is almost swallowed.

"Is it really going to be reckless?" Jiang Weiguo was irritated.

Since there was no room for maneuver in the matter, Jiang Weiguo had to do his best to prepare for the next more intense fierce battle. He first contacted the navy and air force. Both Chen Shaokuan and Zhou Zhirou expressed that they would do their best to assist the army in combat. The navy sent several ships overnight The ship (departing from Sanmen Bay) and a dozen temporary civilian ships went to the coastal waters of Hudong to deploy torpedoes. At the same time, Chen Shaokuan told Jiang Weiguo the good news that a German merchant fleet would arrive at noon tomorrow. Arriving at Fuzhou Port, the ordnance supplies ordered by Jiang Weiguo and Germany were delivered, the most important of which were the last batch of ju-87 dive bombers (10), the last batch of ju-88 bombers (10), and the last batch of tanks (100 vehicles), and Hitler's head of state was very generous. Both batches of bombers gave 10 more, a total of 20 ju-87s and 20 ju-88s. As for the 100 tanks, it should have included 40 40, 20 Panzer II, and 10 Panzer III, but 10 Panzer I was replaced by [-] Panzer IV tanks, which was also a gift from Hitler to Jiang Weiguo.

"Old Xi is so generous!" Jiang Weiguo beamed with joy, "Sure enough, he is a friend! However, I gave him so many 'precious opinions' that were beyond the age and enough for him to win the world war. Even the oil fields in the Middle East told him. It is right to give me a Tiger tank armored division for free!" He thought again, "Is there already a Panzer IV tank at this time?" In the original history, the first Panzer IV tank was in October 1937 It was manufactured, and now it is affected by Jiang Weiguo's "butterfly effect" (Jiang Weiguo's influence on Germany is multifaceted and very long-term), and it has been slightly ahead of schedule, and the first batch has been produced. Hitler made a favor, 10 were given to Jiang Weiguo.

——The reason why Hitler was so generous to Jiang Weiguo was firstly because of Hitler's personal character, and secondly because the "gifts" and "guidance" that Jiang Weiguo gave to Germany at the beginning have been increasingly proved in value over time. The third reason is that the Chinese military performed well after the war between China and Japan. Hitler became more and more optimistic about China, and he sent more gifts in the hope of further wooing China.

Jiang Weiguo was the representative and main leader of the "Pro-German faction" in the National Government, but this does not mean that there were all "Pro-German factions" in the National Government. After all, there were "Pro-American faction" (closer to the United States, Britain and France) and "Pro-Japanese faction" ( Being close to Japan is also an important part of the "Zhuhe faction").

——There is no "pro-Soviet faction" in the national government, because whoever dares to be pro-Soviet will immediately be suspected of being "communist".

There is another piece of good news that Chen Shaokuan told Jiang Weiguo. The last batch of 12 submarines donated by Germany to the Chinese Navy has also arrived in Fujian, and they can join the war immediately.

Although these good news really made Jiang Weiguo very happy, in fact, it can't be said to play a decisive role in the current Hudong war situation. There are not many planes or tanks, but it is better than nothing.

"We will do our best!" Whether it is an air force pilot, a torpedo boat sailor, or a submarine sailor, they are obliged.

"When you joined the war for the first time, you could have caught the Japanese by surprise, but now the Japanese already know of your existence and have already prepared for you. If you attack again, it will not be a surprise attack, but a strong attack.

Not to mention the results of the battle, the casualties and losses must be far more than those who participated in the war for the first time!" Jiang Weiguo was in a heavy mood.

"In the face of a national crisis, soldiers should go through fire and water for the country and do whatever they want!" The pilots and sailors were as firm as iron.

"What a price we have to pay to wipe out the 101st Brigade!" Jiang Weiguo's heart became heavier.

In fact, neither Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, Huang Wei nor Jiang Weiguo knew a very important thing at this time, that is, the 101st Brigade actually no longer exists.

When Major General Sato learned that the 101st Regiment was wiped out and the flag was taken away, he was extremely ashamed and indignant, and he ordered the flags of the 101st Brigade and the 149th Regiment to be burned on the spot, expressing that the troops fought to the death. The determination to die in battle.

A unit of the Japanese army did not burn the military flag until the entire army was about to be annihilated. The meaning of Major General Sato's move is very clear: the 101st Brigade has no qualifications and no face to continue to exist if the military flag is lost. Only collective death can wash away the shame Just in case, since they will definitely die collectively, burn the military flag now. On the one hand, it expresses the determination to break the boat, boosts morale, and inspires the army. breakout, even if it is rescued, it is impossible for the unit to continue to exist).

In addition, during the poison gas battle during the day, Major General Sato was seriously poisoned, his eyes were blinded, his brain was damaged, and he could no longer command the troops. General Tsuda was poisoned to death. no longer exists.

What the Chinese army had to do was to wipe out the remnants of the 101st Brigade in Guangsandun Township before the Japanese reinforcements broke through the encirclement and entered Sandun Township, so as to prove to the world that they had indeed wiped out the 101st Brigade.

Even Jiang Weiguo could see that from a military point of view, the Hudong National Army must retreat completely, but from a political point of view, the Hudong National Army must continue to fight.

"Oh! That sentence is right, war is the continuation of politics!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "War is for politics!"

Chapter 207 Passive Hard Fight (1)

Dark clouds cover the moon, the northern waters of the Taiwan Strait.

Under the protection of two destroyers, eight transport ships are heading north at a speed of [-] knots. Armaments and supplies.

Among the waves more than 1000 meters away on the left side of the fleet, a submarine was staring quietly in the darkness.

This submarine is the U-1088 of the Chinese Navy. It has just returned to China from Germany and arrived at the Sanshawan base in Fujian Province. On the way back to China, the officers and soldiers of the submarine kept learning about the domestic situation and the latest situation of the Sino-Japanese war through the radio. Inspired by the war and the glorious deeds of the brothers in the land, sea and air forces, they were full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. Therefore, they did not go home after returning to China. The submarine sailed directly into the East China Sea from the Sanshawan base and entered the Taiwan Strait to participate in the battle. Encountered the Japanese fleet.

It is also worth mentioning that the submarines of the Chinese Navy are all U-shaped in Germany. In terms of numbering, the Chinese and German navies negotiated, and the numbers from u-1 to u-1000 were used by the German Navy submarines. The Chinese Navy submarines started from u-1001 At the beginning, but in order to exaggerate the size of the Chinese navy submarine force, the Chinese navy submarines are not numbered one by one with the number "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven", but with jumping numbers, such as the u-1023 submarine , but there is no u-1024, the next submarine number is u-1030.

The number of the u-1088 submarine is "1088" does not mean that it is the 88th submarine of the Chinese Navy, it is just to exaggerate its scale.

"Captain!" said the observer excitedly, "This Japanese transport fleet is very careless, let's do it! Make the first contribution to the country with our u-1088! Look! The transport ship in the middle has a displacement of at least Eight thousand tons, four torpedoes will sink!"

The observers were focusing on the merchant ship "Tamamaru" requisitioned by the Japanese Navy from Taiwan, with a displacement of more than 4000 tons. At this time, the ship was carrying more than 3000 officers and soldiers of the Shigeto Detachment and more than 1088 tons of ordnance. U-[-] There is a good chance that it will be sunk.

The captain was also very excited at first, but after thinking for a few seconds, his enthusiasm for fighting suddenly cooled down: "No, no attack!" Looking at the surprised eyes of the crew, he sighed, "The Japanese soldiers on board again They are not real Japanese soldiers, they are all Taiwanese and our compatriots, why should we fight each other and fight each other? Alas! Forget it! Dive down! Go to the East China Sea!"

U-1088 dived under the surface of the sea and let go of more than 4000 Taiwanese Japanese troops from the [-]st Infantry Regiment of the Shigeto Detachment on the Yushan Maru.

At the same time, at Yushan Maru's stern railing, two Taiwanese Japanese soldiers were chatting in pure Japanese.
