I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Relying on this method, the progress of the national army on the battlefield of Sandun Town was greatly accelerated.

In the street fighting in Sandun Town and in the blocking battle in the west of Sandun Town, the national army used poison gas bombs wantonly, while in the blocking battle in the east of Sandun Town, the mechanized troops and cavalry units of the national army were as fast as steel knives attack.

Huang Wei and Jiang Weiguo adopted Hu Lian's countermeasures, no longer using pure positional warfare for defensive blocking, but "supplemented by positional warfare and focused on mobile warfare."

The position of the 11th Division is already riddled with holes. Under the crazy impact of the Chongteng Detachment day and night, the defense line has become twisted. They and the officers and soldiers of the heavy rattan detachment who stormed the defense line were completely caught in a melee. When the visibility conditions at night were very low, the combat mode was basically hand-to-hand combat.

Amid the hysterical Chinese and Japanese roars, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on both sides strangled into a series of black hole vortexes like a meat grinder. The officers and soldiers of the two armies stabbed and hacked at each other like two groups of wild beasts. One after another, they fell down in the trenches where the blood was flowing and the corpses were hemp. Among the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, a large number of wounded on both sides wriggled, struggled, and howled miserably. Some were trampled to death by soldiers from both sides. Some frenziedly rang the grenade on their bodies, and while freeing themselves, they blew up all the soldiers of the enemy and us all around. Immediately, the stomach was broken and the pain was so painful that the soldier who was hit in the face by the bayonet was even more miserable and screamed like ghosts.

Fang Dazeng, a war correspondent who risked his life to take pictures at the scene, said: "...the hand-to-hand combat of tens of thousands of people! Its horror and horror are beyond words! Being in it, besides killing, you will be killed! I don't know if there are enemies around. The silhouette of the companion is shaking like a ghost! When the bayonet pierces the enemy's body, his own body will also be pierced by the enemy. It is impossible to escape. The scene is like countless evil spirits in the Senluo Temple. The howling sound of ghosts and monsters is shrouded in the battlefield! It makes people almost collapse! Even the most determined soldiers can't bear this horrible atmosphere. I saw several soldiers frantically Weeping and laughing, having a total mental breakdown, but they died soon after.

Even soldiers who haven't collapsed mentally are already in a state of losing their minds, their eyes are red, and they have changed from human beings to lunatics and ghosts.

... "

The 11th Division is Chen Cheng's old army, and also the elite of the Central Army's direct line. The deputy division commander Peng Shan who is actually in charge of commanding the division is known as "Desperate Saburo" and is a stern and brave general.

Faced with this almost out-of-control battle situation, Peng Shan organized a death squad, and as the captain of the death squad, he led the death squad to charge bravely among the enemy and us. Regardless of the reason, there will be no mercy!" Relying on iron and blood thunderbolt methods, the 11th Division desperately held on to the situation, and fought with the Chongteng Detachment until the arrival of reinforcements.

"Fengtian kills the thief!" With the roar of wind and thunder and the sound of speeding tracked wheels, a mechanized unit of the 128th Regiment suddenly appeared behind the heavy rattan detachment. The troops were led by twenty or thirty tanks and armored vehicles. Each car is equipped with machine guns or mortars, and the cars are full of officers and soldiers with live ammunition.

The mudslide-like convoy detoured for dozens of kilometers, bypassing the two wings of the Chongteng Detachment, and then smashed into the weak point of the Chongteng Detachment like a hammer.

The troops did not fill into the 11th Division's position, and directly slammed into the rear of the Chongteng Detachment.

The tank guns of tanks and armored vehicles, and tank machine guns burst into arc-like projectile fire together, the machine guns on the cars also fired wildly, the mortars roared and bombarded a hail of shells, and the officers and soldiers in the carriages continued to fire Shooting and throwing grenades, the entire convoy is like a mechanical centipede bursting with hedgehog-like bombs.

The Chongteng detachment was caught off guard and rushed into chaos, and the two squadrons attacked were immediately strangled to pieces.

"Get out of the car! Get out of the car!" Li Zhiyuan, who commanded the infantry, yelled loudly.

The infantry jumped out of the cars one after another and formed an attacking team to launch a field charge. The iron wheels of tanks and armored vehicles rolled over the corpses and injuries of the heavy rattan detachment officers and soldiers on the ground. Amidst the heart-piercing screams, the iron wheels The flesh is like mud.

"Kill it! Kill it all!" Li Zhiyuan shouted.

According to the old rules, the officers and soldiers stabbed to death the wounded soldiers of the heavy rattan detachment on the ground one by one.

"Don't kill!" Chu Qiming, who was commanding the tank, shouted hastily, "They are Taiwanese!"

"Recognize the thief as your father, and the crime will be increased!" Li Zhiyuan ignored him, and shot and killed a Taiwanese Japanese soldier who fell to the ground and howled.

The wounded soldiers of the Chongteng Detachment who fell to the ground were almost wiped out. With the efforts of Chu Qiming, a total of eight Taiwanese wounded Japanese soldiers were captured and sent to Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo was thinking about a major event at this time.

Ten minutes ago, the Maritime Statistics Bureau sent a telegram to Jiang Weiguo: According to the reliable information just obtained by the Tokyo Workstation of the Maritime Statistics Bureau, a large American cargo ship has more than an hour to enter Tokyo Bay.

The American cargo ship was called the "Athena", with a displacement of 6000 tons. It carried more than 7000 tons of crude nitroglycerin and more than [-] tons of gasoline.

"Our submarine u-1075 is cruising in the outer waters of Tokyo Bay on standby!" Shu Guosheng added very meaningfully in the telegram, "the Athena is only a civilian cargo ship, without the protection of warships, u-1075 can easily sink it.

The Japanese did not discover u-1075, which is on the route that the Athena must pass to enter Tokyo Bay. Moreover, our submarines have only attacked Japanese warships and warships so far, and have not attacked Japanese ships. Civilian cargo ships and merchant ships!" (The naval submarine force was established by Jiang Weiguo, who was very aware of the importance of submarines, so the national army's submarine force was secretly monitored and controlled by the Maritime Bureau, and many senior officers were secret members of the Maritime Bureau.

）

Jiang Weiguo knew what Shu Guosheng meant.

"What is the use of more than 6000 tons of crude nitroglycerin?" Jiang Weiguo asked Xiao Yao after reading the telegram.

Xiao Yao replied: "It can be used as a raw material to produce more than 1000 tons of medicine for treating angina pectoris, which is enough for 7000 million Japanese collectively to suffer from heart disease for half a year, and it can also be used as a raw material to produce more than 3000 tons of TNT strong yellow explosive!"

"More than 3000 tons of explosives!" Jiang Weiguo exclaimed, "That's a tenth of Japan's annual output of explosives!" (Japan produced more than 3 tons of explosives per year at its peak during World War II.

）

The Sino-Japanese war has officially broken out, but the attitude of the Americans who talk about "human rights", "peace" and "democracy" all day can be described as "two-faced and three-handed". First of all, the US government keeps saying that the US does not care about the world situation. They are unwilling to interfere in other countries' disputes; secondly, the US government keeps condemning Japan and expressing solidarity with China; finally, the US government sells a large amount of industrial resources, war materials and even arms and weapons to Japan, which is in urgent need of these things, and thus wages a war Windfall.

For example, the cargo ship Athena is a typical example.

The United States and Japan are normal diplomatic relations at this time, and of course they can conduct normal cross-border trade.

The Athena was loaded with more than 6000 tons of crude nitroglycerin and more than 7000 tons of gasoline. These two things can be argued by the Americans and Japanese as "both are just civilian supplies. Nitroglycerin is used to make medicines, and gasoline is for Japanese civilians. In fact, Jiang Weiguo felt that except for stupid hats, normal people would never believe that the Japanese used these American-made nitroglycerin to make medicines instead of explosives. Tanks, armored vehicles, military vehicles.

More than 6000 tons of crude nitroglycerin, in the hands of the Japanese, will continue to be turned into explosives.

How much casualties and losses will the Chinese army suffer from more than 3000 tons of Japanese explosives?Needless to say.

So, is the cargo ship Athena going to be sunk?However, the star-spangled flag of the United States was flying on this cargo ship.

U-1075 was quietly waiting for Jiang Weiguo's order, and Jiang Weiguo hesitated: Do you want to sink this American ship that refueled and transfused the Japanese war machine?

Chapter 210 Unyielding

Seeing that Jiang Weiguo was silent for a long time without making a decision, Xiao Yao saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Yingzuo, are you worried about the principal's attitude?"

Jiang Weiguo laughed, and smiled bitterly: "Of course!"

A war is breaking out between China and Japan. As a neutral country, the United States maintains normal cross-border trade with Japan (at the same time, the United States also maintains normal trade with China). This seems reasonable, but the Americans are using it to support Japan in the war Industrial resources, chemical raw materials, war materials, and even arms and weapons were sold to Japan. There is no doubt that the actions of the Americans are blatantly harming China's interests.

Knowing that Japan is invading China, Americans are still so mercenary.

Once the Athena enters Tokyo Bay, the Japanese will obtain more than 3000 tons of explosives and more than 7000 tons of gasoline. How much harm will such a large amount of war supplies bring to China?How much casualties and losses will it bring to the Chinese military and civilians?Jiang Weiguo was frightened and indignant. He felt that the Chinese army had every right to sink the American ship. The logic was readily available: the Japanese bought these war materials from the United States for their own benefit; the Americans sold these war supplies to Japan for their own benefit. materials; for their own benefit, the Chinese certainly have the right to eliminate these weapons of war.

Everyone is doing it for their own interests. Why do Japanese and Americans have no scruples for their own interests, but the Chinese have to look forward and backward, be timid and even sacrifice their own interests?

To kill the Athena, Jiang Weiguo has three major concerns:

First, it will cause an uproar in the international arena and bring major negative effects to Sino-US diplomatic relations.

The submarines of the Chinese navy are combat ships of the army, while the Athena is a civilian merchant ship. Sinking a civilian ship by a warship is equivalent to soldiers shooting at civilians. What's more, the Athena is a ship of a neutral country and a third country, the United States. Once it is really attacked, it will bring The political influence in all aspects is extremely huge;

Second, this move will cause China to "offend" the United States.

Although the Americans were two-sided at this time and did not really support China's resistance to Japanese aggression, and Jiang Weiguo did not pin China's anti-Japanese victory on the great powers represented by the United States like Chiang Kai-shek did, but it must be admitted that in the past In the years after the Anti-Japanese War in China in history, China really relied heavily on the continuous blood transfusion from the United States (of course, the United States’ WWII strategy was “Europe first, Asia later”, the first blood transfusion target was Britain, the second was the Soviet Union, and the third was the blood transfusion. China, the American aid China received was only a fraction of what Britain and the Soviet Union received).

It angered the United States, and China may lose a large amount of American aid in the future. This has to make Jiang Weiguo fear three points.

In fact, Jiang Weiguo himself was also worried, because Jiang Weiguo and President Roosevelt ordered 40 B-50s at a price of 17 US dollars each. If this incident caused the US to tear up the agreement in anger, it would be a big loss. ;

Third, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude.

The first two concerns only made Jiang Weiguo feel some fear, and only the third point really made Jiang Weiguo feel real fear.

As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek has never thought or believed that China can defeat Japan alone, so Chiang Kai-shek's war strategy is "military supplementary, politics first", and wins the war against Japan through the assistance of major powers and the intervention of international forces. , Among the many great powers, the United States is Chiang Kai-shek's most hopeful country.

In the Nationalist Government, Chiang Wei-guo was a die-hard "pro-German faction", while Chiang Kai-shek was out-and-out a "pro-American faction".

Chiang Kai-shek tried his best to ask for the help of the United States. In this political environment, Chiang Wei-guo ordered the national army submarine to sink the American ship. What would Chiang Kai-shek think?How will Jiang Weiguo be punished?Beheading and going to jail is not enough, but it is easy to cause Jiang Weiguo to lose Chiang Kai-shek's "favor" because he repeatedly "screws up big things and destroys the overall situation". What Jiang Weiguo fears most is that he will lose Chiang Kai-shek's trust and support.

In the matter of whether to sink the Athena, Jiang Weiguo's most worried resistance came from Chiang Kai-shek.

In the extreme hesitation, Jiang Weiguo asked Xiao Yao: "The Americans don't know about the national army's possession of submarines, do they?"

"I probably don't know, but the Japanese must have known it!" Xiao Yao said, "Although our submarine force has been kept strictly secret since its establishment, but now, the submarine force has officially participated in the war and achieved good results. Not a fool, it must be inferred that our navy secretly owns a group of submarines.

The Athena was sunk by an unidentified submarine in the waters of Japan. Who did it?Japanese?The Japanese are now extremely dependent on US-Japan trade. How could they use their submarines to sink an American ship that transported war materials to them, which is completely unreasonable in logic?At that time, the United States and Japan will jointly launch an investigation, and the Japanese will definitely tell the Americans that the Chinese Navy has submarines, and the answer will come naturally.

We are the only 'murderers' who have the motivation, ability and conditions to do this, and we are also the biggest and the only beneficiaries.

After the Dongchuang incident happened, we can deny it, resolutely refuse to admit it, or resolutely deny it, but that is meaningless, even if the Americans and Japanese have no evidence, they will be sure that we did it!"

"Is there really no other way?" Jiang Weiguo was extremely irritable. He knew that if the Dongchuang incident happened, the US government would definitely protest.

The naval submarine force is nominally under the command of the navy commander-in-chief Chen Shaokuan and the submarine force commander Wei Zihao, but Jiang Weiguo is the real "behind-the-scenes boss" of the submarine force (Wei Zihao is a secret member of the Maritime Administration).

Neither Chen Shaokuan nor Wei Zihao dared to give orders lightly, after all, this matter was of great importance, and only Jiang Weiguo dared to give orders.

"Unless..." Xiao Yao said slowly, "No. u-1075 acts without authorization!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback.

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, and showed that strange expression again: "Whether it is Mr. Chen, Wei Jun, or Ying Zuo, you have issued strict orders not to attack the u-1075 submarine, but the u-1075 submarine Filled with patriotic zeal and righteous indignation, the operatives sank the Athena!"

Jiang Weiguo immediately understood Xiao Yao's meaning, and his heart moved: "What will be the consequences of this matter in the end?"

"Consequences?" Xiao Yao said, "Chen Zongzuo, Wei Junzuo, and Yingzuo are not responsible for you. What responsibility can you have? This is just the unauthorized action of u-1075. In the end, the submarine captain will definitely be punished." If they are shot, all crew members will be forcibly demobilized and court-martialed, the submarine force will be strictly ordered to conduct internal discipline, and some officers will be dismissed and investigated!"

"Let your subordinates take the blame?" Jiang Weiguo shook his head firmly, "I can't do this kind of thing!"

Xiao Yao said with a calm expression: "Then there is no other way, we can only let the Athena go!"

"Let it go?" Jiang Weiguo was irritated, "Damn! That ship was loaded with explosives and gasoline that the Americans sold to the Japanese and were about to be used by the Japanese to kill us! The quantity is so large!"

Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo with a trace of respect in his expression: "Ying Zuo, I understand what you mean, but the price you need to pay is most likely your political life!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and smoked it vigorously: "I know, I know...but I also know that more than 3000 tons of explosives will bring us huge casualties and costs! There will be many brothers and many ordinary people killed and injured in the The Americans sold more than 3000 tons of explosives to the Japanese!" He glanced at his watch, "Time is running out, I must give an order to u-1075!"

Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo calmly: "You want to kill first and then play?"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "When the time comes, it's all done, and my father can't help it!"

Xiao Yao shook his head: "You can't cut first and play later.

Camp, the principal is the leader of a country after all, even if you are his son, you can't despise his identity, status, and authority. You only tell him what you do after the fact, even if he doesn't object to what you do in his heart, he will Geng Jie is born because of this, he will feel that you don't take him seriously at all.

Your behavior is equivalent to Japan's "Imperial Way School". The Emperor's Way Party is loyal to the emperor. They often do things that make their own opinions, although what they do, such as the September [-]th Incident, is indeed very beneficial to Japan. The Emperor is very beneficial, but the Emperor hates the Emperor's sect very much, because, first, although the Emperor's sect is loyal to the Emperor and considers everything for the Emperor, they do not ask the Emperor for instructions, which despises the authority of the Emperor The most unbearable thing for the Emperor is that his own authority is being despised. Second, the Emperor's faction has repeatedly made claims and achieved success. Sooner or later, this development will get worse and completely out of control. He mercilessly suppressed and thoroughly cleaned up the loyal dogs of the Huangdao faction who were utterly loyal to him but unintentionally repeatedly despised his authority!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo with intriguing eyes, "You have told the principal more than once I have used the method of cutting first and then playing, once or twice it is okay, but it is not good to do it all the time!Children hate their parents doing things without their children's consent on the grounds of 'we are for your own good', let alone leaders?No leader likes his subordinates to do things without telling themselves!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart trembled violently: "You mean, I must ask my father for instructions?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Must!"

Jiang Weiguo became anxious: "But he will definitely not agree!"

"Even if you don't agree, your respectful attitude of specifically notifying him and asking him for instructions before doing anything will greatly reduce his displeasure with you!" Xiao Yao seemed very confident.

Jiang Weiguo smoked his cigarette fiercely, then looked at Xiao Yao sincerely: "My military advisor, thank you for your teaching!"

Five minutes later, Jiang Weiguo called Chiang Kai-shek, and the father and son had the following conversation:

"Father, I have a very important matter to ask you for instructions and I very much hope to get your permission!"

"Huh? What is it? A counterattack plan against the Japanese army?"

"No, it's another matter.

My intelligence department found that an American ship was sailing to Tokyo Bay. The ship was loaded with a large amount of chemical raw materials and gasoline sold by the U.S. government to the Japanese government. There were more than 7000 tons of gasoline, and those chemical raw materials could be made into more than 3000 tons. explosives.
