I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

At 10 a.m. on October 12, Qidong County fell;

At 10 a.m. on October 12, Haimen County fell;

At 10 o'clock in the afternoon on October 12, the Japanese army approached the city of Nantong County, and at [-] o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army captured Nantong County;

At 10 o'clock in the morning on October 13, the Japanese army captured Jingjiang County, and at [-] o'clock in the morning, the Japanese army captured Taixing County.

In just 130 hours, the Jiangbei Japanese army drove straight for more than [-] kilometers, and successively captured six counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

All of a sudden, the world was shocked and turned around.

"What's going on?" Chiang Kai-shek, who received the report, was extremely unbelievable at first, and then extremely angry. Nanjing's high-level officials were no less than caught in a magnitude [-] earthquake. stunned.

The reason why the Japanese army in Jiangbei seemed to be in the land of no one was obvious: the national army hardly had a regular army in Jiangbei, and the elite troops were all thrown into the Shanghai battlefield, and the second and third-rate troops were constantly being filled into the Shanghai battlefield. As a result, most of the Jiangbei National Army is a reserve army or a reserve army. The equipment is poor, the training is insufficient, and the members of the troops have almost never been on the battlefield. The Japanese troops advancing all the way to the north of the Yangtze River were all elites. Of the three divisions, the 2nd Division and the 6th Division naturally needless to say. The combat power of the first-class divisions of the Japanese army is also at the upper-middle level. If the subsidiary troops are added, the three divisions have a total strength of more than 16 troops. Objectively speaking, there is no 20 national army and the central army cannot stop it These more than 8 human machines, not to mention the reserve army or reserve army whose combat effectiveness is almost vulnerable.

The loss of six counties within 128 hours is actually not an "unheard of miracle". In the original history, the places in China (excluding Taiwan) that were most thoroughly occupied by the Japanese army included Northeast China, Shanxi Province, Shandong Province, Hebei Province, Jiangsu Province, in these places, except for Shanxi Province and Jiangsu Province, which were lost after fierce fighting, the rest of the places were basically lost without fighting. In He Province, when 18 cavalrymen from the vanguard of the Japanese army arrived at the outskirts of Chengde City, the provincial capital, Tang Yulin, the provincial chairman, immediately retreated without a fight. It took the Japanese army an incredible seven days to occupy a total area of ​​[-] square kilometers (equivalent to Guangdong Province) Jehol province.

The Japanese army’s war against Jiangbei was well planned and well prepared. Both the 2nd Division and the 6th Division were specially equipped with a large number of cars and a large number of horses, making these two divisions “highly mechanized” and marching at an extremely fast speed. , The officers and soldiers were all sitting in cars, and the supplies were all loaded on horseback.

Before the attack, the three division heads had this conversation:

Lieutenant General Ningji Okamura, head of the 2nd Division: "If we want our three divisions to realize a mechanized march, it is conservatively estimated that at least 5000 vehicles will be needed. This is a very huge number. What's more, we still have To carry a large amount of ordnance, ammunition and supplies required for a long period of high-intensity combat with enough troops, the number of vehicles needed will be doubled again. The most troublesome thing is that more cars will require more gasoline. Carrying gasoline in cars further increases the number of cars demanded!"

Lieutenant General Nakajima Kinzago, head of the 16th Division: "Our division is willing to give up half of the cars to your division. You need to attack the city in front, and our division will protect the rear for your division. The regiment does not need to march fast, and the demand for cars can be reduced.

In addition, we can carry a large number of horses, on the one hand, it can increase the transportation capacity, and on the other hand, it can be slaughtered for food when the army rations are not enough!"

Lieutenant General Tani Hisao, head of the 6th Division: "I have a way to save at least 1000 cars.

In fact, our Third Division does not need to carry too much military rations. Our offensive route is the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province. The local area belongs to the plain of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The land is fertile, the agriculture is developed, the population is dense, and the supplies are sufficient. Our military rations can be solved on the spot Solve it!At that time, our cars only need to be loaded with soldiers and bullets, and we will 'collect' food on the spot along the way. Are we afraid that the soldiers will not be hungry? "

"This method is good!" Lieutenant General Nakajima immediately agreed, "General Okamura and General Tani, your divisions can move forward with peace of mind, and the issue of rations will be handled by my division, and my division will search the occupied area thoroughly. It is clean and provides you with a steady stream of sufficient supplies!"

Lieutenant General Okamura frowned and said: "This method seems a little inappropriate... If the empire wants to permanently occupy China, it must adopt gentle means. If the imperial army is too violent, it may backfire, and the people of China will further resist the empire. military!"

Lieutenant General Gu Hisao said disapprovingly: "Mr. Okamura, your benevolence is respectable, but excessive benevolence is pedantic.

In combat, allowing soldiers to 'casually relax' is an important means of maintaining the morale and vigor of the army.

When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, Zeng Guofan ordered the Hunan Army to "take Nanjing and have a holiday for a week." Therefore, the Hunan Army was unstoppable and unstoppable in attacking the city, and finally successfully captured Nanjing.

Why don't we follow suit?What's more, the Chinese people are so merciless to the Chinese people, we are the imperial army of the Japanese Empire, and there is no need to be too polite to them!"

"Mr. Gu is right!" Lieutenant General Nakajima once again stood with Lieutenant General Gu Hisao, "Are the Chinese people innocent? They have violated international conventions! Their submarines attacked the civilian ships of the empire, causing nearly ten thousand The innocent civilians of the empire lost their lives! It is only natural for the imperial army to punish them! Hmph! After the capture of Nanjing, my Kyoto athletes (the 16th Division was organized in Kyoto, Japan, and most of the officers and soldiers of the division were from Kyoto) We must take revenge for those imperial civilians who have died in peace!"

Lieutenant General Okamura stopped talking, which was regarded as acquiescing to Lieutenant General Hisao Tani and Lieutenant General Nakajima's views.

The southern part of Jiangsu Province belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain. The terrain is flat and there are almost no mountains. Although the river network is densely covered, there are almost no major rivers. There was almost no resistance from the powerful troops of the national army, and the Japanese army felt as if they were in an uninhabited land.

25岁的入伍只有两个月的第16师团第19旅团第20联队第1大队第3中队上等兵东史郎在他后来编写的《东史郎日记》里这样描述道：

"...After we landed in Qidong County on the north bank of the Yangtze River, everything went incredibly smoothly. It is unimaginable that just over 1000 meters away in Shanghai on the south bank of the Yangtze River, nearly one million Chinese and Imperial troops are killing each other. The sound of explosions spread across the Yangtze River densely and continuously like rolling thunder, but we on the north bank of the Yangtze River seemed to be walking leisurely on the outskirts of a certain city in China.

Almost no Chinese army resisted us or counterattacked us. Only scattered stragglers of the Chinese army attacked us in a harassing style. It was as threatening as a mosquito biting an elephant. We only sent a few squadrons to fight them off.

After landing, our 16th Division immediately marched towards Qidong County, which is five kilometers away from the river. The 2nd Division and the 6th Division hardly stopped at all. Swinging, forming a long queue with no head and no tail. In the team, there are groups of cars and people screaming. Few soldiers walk on foot. They either ride cars or ride horses, and quite a few soldiers ride bicycles. , the silver wheel rolled along the way.

'Everyone in the car hurry up and sleep! ’ An officer shouted, ‘Ensure your strength!There is still battle to come!We must hurry up and march!March when you are awake, march when you are asleep!Soldiers in vehicles and soldiers on vehicles have to rotate in two shifts!Sleep in the car, march on the bike! "Our 16th Division is responsible for consolidating the rear, so we don't need to hurry too much. Among the 4 regiments of the division, our 20th regiment stays in Qidong County, and the other three regiments follow the 2nd and 6th divisions. The rear of the regiment also drove west along the river, most of the soldiers were on foot, because most of the cars and horses of our division were given up to the 2nd and 6th divisions.

They attack the city in front, and our troops catch up to take the defense, so as to maintain the highest speed.

In fact, the 2nd and 6th Divisions did create the latest record in the history of marching speed. Generals Okamura and Hisao Tani were therefore called "parachutists" in China.

This is the truth of 'soldiers are expensive and fast'!Our 20th Regiment, led by Regiment Captain Ohno Xuanming, quickly arrived at the outskirts of Qidong County. There were panic-stricken Chinese civilians running away everywhere, and almost no Chinese army resisted us.

The captain of the Ono Regiment proudly said to us that "the Chinese army has been attracted to Shanghai by General Matsui, so their rear is very empty." Our alliance swaggered into Qidong County.

Before the war, the Chinese military organization formed two militia regiments in Qidong County, one of which was destroyed by the naval artillery attack of the imperial army, and the other fled in fright. , Four to five hundred Chinese militiamen insisted on resisting us, but apart from their passionate spirit of defending the country and their hometown, their weapons and training were useless. , we defeated them very easily, killed more than 80 people, and captured more than 300 prisoners, and the rest fled into the countryside.

The captain of the Ono United ordered us not to enter the city first, but to block all the entrances and exits of the city first, and set up machine guns at all entrances and exits, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit, and then he led a brigade into the city.

The one who entered the city was our 1st Battalion. According to the order of Captain Ohno, we posted the "Anmin Notice" written in Chinese in various parts of the city. People can continue to live and work in peace and contentment, but those who resist the imperial army can only die.

'Divide the captives into several batches, send them to the vegetable market or crossroads in the city, and shoot them publicly! The leader of the Ono Regiment ordered the three squadron leaders, "These captives are anti-Japanese elements who resisted the imperial army. Shooting them publicly can deter the Chinese people in the city. This is called killing chickens for monkeys to see."

The three captains all agreed, and more than 50 prisoners were publicly shot in this way.

Then, the captain of the Ono Regiment issued an order to the troops to 'collect supplies from the whole city'.

After receiving the order, the leader of the No. 3 Squadron where I belonged, Asai Squadron, ordered us: "Search the whole city from house to house!"Take away all useful supplies such as food, medicine, poultry, livestock, etc.! '

'ah?take them all?Food is also taken away? The Fukuoka private next to me asked in amazement, "If all the food is taken away, wouldn't those Chinese people starve to death?" '

'Private Fukuoka! The leader of the Asai Squadron suddenly became furious, and he stepped forward with a stern voice.

Frightened, Fukuoka hurriedly stood to attention and bowed.

The leader of Asai Squadron raised his hand and slapped Fukuoka: "Baga!You actually have such thoughts, you are simply not worthy of being an imperial soldier! ’ He looked at us with a grim expression, ‘Have you forgotten the news that I showed you before the expedition?In disregard of international conventions, China's submarines attacked our civilian ships, resulting in the tragic death of nearly [-] imperial civilians!It is our sacred mission to punish the vicious Chinese people!To be kind to the Chinese is to betray the empire!You all remember me well!Don't sympathize with those despicable and despicable Chinese people!The on-the-spot collection of supplies from the Chinese is related to the success or failure of the imperial army in this battle, and there must be no mission errors!The more materials collected, the better!Don't miss any corner! '

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader..." Private First Class Yokokawa asked, "If the Chinese people resist our recruitment activities, what will they do?" '

The leader of Asai Squadron strode up to Yokokawa and slapped him unceremoniously: "Baga!Of course it is to kill without mercy!How dare you ask such a question!It seems that you, like Fukuoka, have serious thinking problems!In order to punish you, starting today, the cleaning of the squadron will be in charge of the two of you for a week! '

We started the work of "collecting materials" like a group of robbers who broke into the city. The whole city was jumping and crying, and we broke into the house. From the very beginning of the work, killings have continued to happen, and quickly intensified and intensified. At first, we only killed resisting Chinese people. Soon, we began to intentionally kill Chinese people, even if they were docile and cooperative. In order to understand the boredom, we deliberately stabbed a bayonet, and the uncontrollable viciousness gushing out of our hearts was released like a devil in a bottle. This originally peaceful and beautiful city along the sea and river suddenly changed It has become a bloody hell on earth, and rapes continue to occur along with the murders, and there is almost no development process. As soon as the collection of materials begins, someone murders and rapes.

When I saw with my own eyes that someone in my team deliberately murdered and raped, I wanted to report to the Maoli team leader, but I saw the Maoli team leader lift his pants and come out of a Chinese people's house with the door open, while cursing. I saw the bloody corpses of four Chinese people poured inside. They seemed to be a family of four, including four 50-year-old parents, a man and a woman, and two young people in their 20s. They may be siblings, or they may be The husband and wife are both dead, and the Chinese girl with disheveled hair and naked body has just been raped and killed by the Maori squad leader.

The Maori squad leader saw me staring at him blankly, and he laughed, 'Nothing!We are here to avenge those imperial civilians who drowned innocently at sea! He was plausible and seemed very righteous. At this time, the sound of a baby crying came from the room. I was sure that the young man and woman were husband and wife. Captain Maori showed a very disgusted expression when he heard the baby crying, and he muttered Say 'really noisy', and then walk back into the house, I didn't see what was going on inside, only heard the cry of the baby stopped abruptly after a muffled 'plop', 'drowned among the imperial civilians on the sea Many are nursing babies.

’ Captain Maori’s expression and tone were very relaxed, as if he had just trampled an ant to death just now, “so this is all asked for by the Chinese people.

' There was a kind of righteous indignation in his relaxed expression.

In fact, many people are like this, seeking excuses and psychological comfort for their evil deeds under the banner of revenge.

As far as I know afterwards, not only this Qidong County, seven or eight counties on the north bank of the Yangtze River all the way to Nanjing were bloodbathed by the 16th Division. The 2nd Division and the 6th Division were busy fighting in the front. The divisions were busy looting supplies, murdering and raping behind.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the 2nd and 6th Divisions in the Imperial Army are the strongest, followed by the 5th Division of the "Steel Army" and the 9th and 18th Divisions, which are also good at fighting hard, bitter, and tough battles. But when it comes to the number of kills, the 16th Division is well-deserved No.1.

... "

The battle situation in Jiangbei was just as Dong Shiro wrote in his diary: the 2nd and 6th divisions marched at the maximum speed and marched forcefully. Because the Chinese army was caught off guard and could not send troops back to Jiangbei in time, and the Japanese army was fully prepared, the two This division is completely smooth, and the resistance it encountered can be said to be negligible. "During the Jiangbei march, our biggest obstacle was the many local rivers. Those rivers brought us some troubles, but they were not very troublesome." , the engineer troops built bridges when encountering water, and ensured that the troops hardly wasted an hour. As for the resistance of the Chinese army, it was very small, and the trouble caused to us was probably not one-tenth of those rivers!" Lieutenant General Okamura was fighting. It is written in the diary, "The speed of the troops is very fast, even exceeding our previous expectations. A brigade of the 4th Wing (which belongs to the 2rd Brigade of the 3nd Division) even advanced a full one hundred in a day and night. km, creating an astonishing record.

It can be seen from this that Chiang Kai-shek was caught by us extremely seriously. He hardly arranged a regular army of even one division in Jiangbei.

Both the outside world and the Nationalist government believed that our army had to conquer Shanghai first before attacking Nanjing, but in fact, we directly crossed Shanghai. The troops were thrown into Shanghai, leaving the rear of Nanjing very empty!" The 16th Division consolidated the rear and collected supplies, and it was done "very well".

"Half of the achievements of Okamura-kun and I must be given to Nakajima-kun's 16th Division!" Lieutenant General Tani Hisao wrote in his combat diary, "In order to ensure speed, the transportation force must be reduced. It is costly, and more cars must be loaded with bullets and shells. The 6th Division and the 2nd Division can be said to be advancing lightly. Each soldier carried a day's rations. , It’s too little, what should I do if I eat it all? I comfort them, don’t worry, Mr. Nakajima will definitely solve our problem.

Sure enough, Mr. Nakajima did not disappoint me. We pushed forward, the main force of the 16th Division stayed behind, and the supply troops kept catching up, delivering us a steady stream of materials piled up into hills, rice, flour, Fresh fruits and vegetables, pigs, sheep and cattle, chickens, ducks and geese, and even a lot of fish and shrimps.

The 16th Division accomplished this very well. Mr. Nakajima lived up to expectations. He easily solved the problem of food for the three divisions. "I can get you enough food for more than three months." He said to me in the telegram, full of pride between the lines, "Mr. Gu, our luck is really very good. It is now October, and the autumn harvest is almost over. Every Chinese person's home and every county government warehouse Pile of rice and unthreshed rice.

' Nakajima-kun added.

I can't help but express my heartfelt compliments to Nakajima-kun.

Because of the full support of the 16th Division in the back, the 6th and 2nd Divisions are so invincible.

I want to say that the 16th Division is the real leader in this battle!"

At ten o'clock in the evening on October 10, the Japanese army captured Yizheng County (Yizheng City), which was only 13 kilometers away from Nanjing.

"Chairman!" Cheng Qian, chief of the general staff, was in a cold sweat at the urgently held supreme military meeting, "The Japanese are playing a game of 'clearly repairing plank roads and secretly crossing Chencang'! The real goal of the Japanese is not Shanghai at all, but Nanjing The reason why we fought against us in Shanghai is just a cover-up! To lure us to gather heavy and elite soldiers in Shanghai! As a result, Jiangbei and Nanjing have extremely empty defenses! We have been completely deceived by the Japanese strategically!"

Almost all the senior generals attending the meeting were shocked. Two days ago, Shanghai was the front line and Nanjing was the rear. Now, the Japanese army is only tens of kilometers away from Nanjing. Everyone has to feel a huge crisis .

Although Chiang Kai-shek, who was in charge of the meeting, looked calm and unmoved, he was actually nervous: "Song Yun (Song Yun in Cheng Qian's name), what do you mean...abandon Shanghai? Transfer troops from Shanghai to Nanjing? "

"Of course!" Cheng Qian said eagerly, "Shanghai is important, but Nanjing is the capital of the country! The purpose of the Japanese is to attack Nanjing! We have been led by the nose..."

Chiang Kai-shek showed an anxious look on his face: "You can't say that, the national army fought very well in Shanghai! If we withdraw our troops now, how can the 101st Division be completely wiped out? Wouldn't the great situation in Shanghai be wiped out overnight? ? What will the international powers think?”

"My chairman!" Cheng Qian smiled wryly, "Nanjing is under the threat of Japanese soldiers, why are you still thinking about eating the 101st Division? We can't put the cart before the horse and put the cart before the horse!"

"The army must be withdrawn, but there is no rush!" Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the general staff, said calmly, "The battle in Shanghai is a stalemate. Once our army retreats, it is easy to shake the whole line!"

"That's right!" Chen Cheng, who hurried back from Shanghai, nodded again and again, "Chairman, on the Shanghai battlefield, the national army bit the Japanese army to death, and the Japanese army also bit the national army to death, no matter whether it was Shanghai North or Shanghai East. , the troops are all stuck there.

Randomly deploying a division or even a regiment is very likely to cause the entire line to collapse!Withdrawing the Shanghai troops to Nanjing is of course a top priority, but don't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, there will be chaos. If hundreds of thousands of troops are in chaos, it will definitely be out of control!At that time, the Japanese army will definitely attack in an all-round way, fighting and chasing our army all the way from Shanghai to Nanjing!At that time, the consequences will be unimaginable! "

A look of displeasure appeared on Chiang Kai-shek's face: "Aren't there still two lines of defense between Shanghai and Nanjing! The national army can retreat while fighting!"

"However, how much time do we have to retreat while fighting?" He Yingqin said, "Chairman, the Japanese army in Jiangbei has approached only a few tens of kilometers away from Nanjing!"

"The situation in Nanjing is urgent, and the Shanghai troops will not be able to withdraw for a while!" Chiang Kai-shek became annoyed, "Aren't we completely passive?"

"So after the 101st Wing was eaten, the Hudong troops should switch from offense to defense and retreat in order. Even if this was done after the 101st Brigade was eaten, it is not too late. However, if the 101st Division must be eaten up, time will be delayed, and the Hudong war will not be resolved for a long time, which will naturally cause the national army to fall into a passive position now!" It was Bai Chongxi who said this, he told Cheng Qian, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and others are different. He is a local powerful faction with his own territory, and he doesn't need to look at Chiang Kai-shek's face, so he speaks when he has something to say.

Chiang Kai-shek's expression turned ugly immediately: "Jiansheng, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Bai Chongxi said neither humble nor arrogant: "The Japanese army's step across the river in white clothes is very clever and vicious, but we must not fall into panic and chaos. There are also troops in Nanjing. Although there are not many, they should be able to stop the Japanese army from Jiangbei in a short time. , At the same time, slowly and orderly withdraw troops from Shanghai, and gradually shrink the front to the southern Jiangsu area with Nanjing as the core. Now, Shanghai is no longer the core of the battle, but Nanjing is!"

Chiang Kai-shek had a gloomy face, and he said after a while: "According to what you mean, the Songhu Battle is about to end? However, the Nine Nations Pact Organization meeting will be held on the [-]rd of next month. Fleeing the war and abandoning Shanghai for nothing, what will the international community think of us? How did the government suppress the Japanese on the international diplomatic stage when it participated in the Nine-Power Pact? Have you considered the negative political effects?"

Cheng Qian, Chen Cheng, He Yingqin and others all pulled their faces, and Bai Chongxi also pulled their faces. Cheng Qian and others did not dare to object, and Bai Chongxi was too lazy to object to Chiang Kai-shek's clichés.

Seeing that the crowd was silent, Chiang Kai-shek got up and walked to the map, his eyes fixed on the 101st Division of the Japanese Army that had been surrounded by the Nationalist Army in Hudong.

Chapter 217

In the office of the chairman of the Military Commission, after the high-level meeting, Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Weiguo started a private meeting between father and son.

"Wei'er..." When Jiang Weiguo walked into the room and closed the door, Chiang Kai-shek's expression was full of exhaustion. He had to maintain the leadership demeanor of "the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face" in front of his subordinates, but in front of his son. It is possible to take off the mask.

The Japanese army in Jiangbei drove straight into a place tens of kilometers away from Nanjing in a day and night. It not only threatened the capital and shook the government, but also brought extremely bad influence on the ongoing Songhu Battle and even the overall situation of the National Anti-Japanese War. Although Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be calm , Not in a hurry, but it is definitely impossible not to panic in his heart.

"The Japanese's move is really vicious!" Chiang Kai-shek sighed, "Ming Ming built the plank road, secretly crossed the Chen Cang... crossed Shanghai and directly attacked Nanjing.

well!The Japanese actually tried to meddle in the majestic capital of China!In this war, they really won't let the party and the country die! "While saying this, Chiang Kai-shek faintly showed a trace of old and bitter.

Jiang Weiguo comforted: "Father, don't worry too much, the matter is not so bad that it cannot be saved!"

"Yes, yes..." Chiang Kai-shek sighed again, "Fortunately, I listened to your words and left some troops in Nanjing..."

Jiang Weiguo smiled wryly, and thought to himself: "At the beginning, I tried to persuade you to keep at least one main force in Nanjing. Fortunately, you threw all the troops to Shanghai. As a result, Nanjing is now so dangerous... If I knew today, why bother Well!"

"And your 918th Regiment!" Chiang Kai-shek sighed, "Fortunately, it has been kept in Nanjing..."

Jiang Weiguo thought very angrily: "If I hadn't argued hard, you would have almost sent the 918th Regiment to Shanghai..."

"Wei'er, how many people are there in your regiment now?" Chiang Kai-shek asked, he couldn't help worrying. Nanjing's troops were only tens of thousands of people, and it was obvious that such a small number of troops was too small to block the 8 Japanese troops who were on the menacing attack. There is no doubt that Nanjing is so dangerous. Chiang Kai-shek, who was eager for success in Shanghai, threw almost all the direct descendants of the Central Army to the front line in Shanghai. Among the troops in Nanjing, only the 918th Regiment, which belonged to Jiang Weiguo's "Pro-Guard Army", was the Central Army. The elite of the lineage, Chiang Kai-shek must put his hope on the regiment of Jiang Weiguo, but he was very uncertain, "The 918th regiment made great contributions to the front lines of Pingjin and suffered heavy losses at the same time. It is taking a break, but according to your last report, the 918th Regiment only has more than 4000 officers and soldiers right now?" Chiang Kai-shek said more and more panicked, although the combat effectiveness and fighting spirit of the 918th Regiment are second to none in the national army, they are not inferior to the The Japanese army, but how can more than 4000 people stop more than 8 elite Japanese troops?

Jiang Weiguo pulled his face: "Father, in fact, the 918th Regiment now has more than 1 people!"

"Ah?" Chiang Kai-shek was taken aback, "So many? Didn't you say there were only more than 4000 people?"

Jiang Weiguo pulled his face long: "Father, I am not expanding the army without authorization, and there is nothing I can do about it.

With all due respect, in fact, I have already estimated that the Japanese army may come to such a move. Nanjing must retain a heavy army, if not a heavy army, at least an elite army, so I have to lie to you father, I said that the 918th regiment only has more than 4000 people , If I say that the 918th Regiment already has more than 1 people..." He said in a slightly teasing tone, "You didn't send the 918th Regiment to Shanghai early? He complained a bit. In order to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from sending the 918th Regiment to the front line in Shanghai, he deliberately "concealed" the actual number of soldiers in the 918th Regiment. Chiang Kai-shek does not reimburse the cost of eating, drinking and sleeping.

To use a metaphor, the Shanghai battlefield is a big casino, and Chiang Kai-shek is a red-eyed gambler. Chiang Kai-shek, who is eager to win a grand slam, keeps throwing his old money into it. His son Jiang Weiguo has 1 yuan hidden in his hand (1 Thousands of horses), in order to prevent Chiang Kai-shek from losing everything, and to leave some money for the family to live on, so that Chiang Kai-shek would not lose it all, so Jiang Weiguo lied that he had no money.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was full of embarrassment. He understood why Jiang Weiguo would lie to him, and he felt ashamed and moved at once: "Wei'er, alas, you are still as careful and considerate as dust! You have predicted that the Japanese will come to such a trick. ..."
