I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"Fengtian kills the thief!"

Shocking roars resounded through the positions that were riddled with holes due to the bombardment of the Japanese army. The sound of killing rose from the trenches, bunkers, and foxholes together, spraying at the Japanese army except for the anger and roar of the officers and soldiers. In addition, there were bullets, artillery shells, and grenades like a storm, and the bloody rain was blooming everywhere in the crowds of the two armies at the same time.

No matter how tough and brutal the 6th Division is, it is still flesh and blood. After the hot and dazzling bullets flew away from the national army's position, the Japanese army immediately fell down like crops under the rollers of a harvester. Cong, the follow-up Japanese troops jumped over the corpses of their comrades who died in battle, passed through the wounded comrades struggling in a pool of blood, twitched, jumped, and rolled on the spot in the firepower net of the national army, and continued to rush forward one after another with howls. The dense infantry shells and The extremely precise bullets also made blood splash on the national army's positions, and the officers and soldiers who were shot were dancing like electric shocks.

The Japanese soldiers of the 6th Division were not just a group of human machines who had been brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and were so fierce that they never knew what death was. In addition to marksmanship and bayonet fighting skills, their extremely excellent infantry tactics were also their strengths.

The firepower net of the 918th Regiment was almost impenetrable, but the Japanese offensive front was not beaten to pieces, because the Japanese troops in front fell, and the Japanese troops behind immediately filled the combat positions of their accomplices, thus ensuring the overall attack formation was consistent. The support is at its maximum strength.

"Retreat! Abandon the first trench!" Within 10 minutes of the fight, the 918 regiment seemed to be unable to hold on, and Du Yuming repeatedly gave orders to retreat.

In fact, there were more than 918 officers and soldiers in the [-] regiment at this time, but only a quarter of the soldiers participated in the battle in Dongmen Town.

After hearing the retreat order, the officers and soldiers in the first trench picked up their weapons and passed through the traffic trench one after another, and quickly retreated into the second trench. The last officers and soldiers who left were basically engineers.

Jiang Weiguo, who had been watching the battle in the second trench, hurriedly retreated to the third trench.

Seeing the retreat of the national army, the Japanese army immediately accelerated and rushed forward like a stormy sea.

"Fight!" The officers and soldiers who retreated to the second trench once again uttered the shouts of killing that resounded through the sky, and the guns in their hands sprayed out the bullets like angry swords and wild flowers again, and a group of Japanese troops launched an assault on the flat ground without shelter. Cong Di was shot to death when he couldn't dodge, and his blood was spattered three feet.

"Kill it!" Amidst the howls of the officers, the Japanese army surged forward wave after wave like evil waves.

Since the front was the second trench of the national army, where the bombs and fire were so dense that almost ten thousand arrows were fired at once, the Japanese army who had nowhere to hide could only jump into the first trench abandoned by the national army.

This kind of thing does not require an officer's order, nor does it need someone to command. Driven by instinct and natural thinking inertia, the Japanese army at the forefront naturally jumped into the first trench of the national army, hiding in the trench under the rain of bullets. It is far better than staying on flat ground. Although this trench is "made in China" rather than "made in Japan", the Japanese soldiers will certainly not insist on "supporting domestic products and boycotting Chinese products" at this time.

When the first batch of Japanese soldiers jumped into the trench, the second batch of Japanese soldiers must have followed closely behind, and then the geometric multiples drove more Japanese soldiers to jump in one after another like dumplings.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers jumped in, the problem became serious, because what they jumped into was a trench, not a trench. The trench was two and a half meters deep. The officers and soldiers of the 918th regiment stood on stools, stepped on ammunition boxes or Climb on the ladder so that you can poke your head out and shoot, and the officers and soldiers took away the stools, ammunition boxes, and ladders when they retreated just now, not to mention that Japanese soldiers are shorter than Chinese soldiers.

So, there was such a scene in the trench: the Japanese soldiers who jumped in were like a group of rabbits jumping desperately trying to poke their heads out to reach the top of the trench. I couldn't figure it out even in a hurry, and continued to jump into the trench like lemmings collectively jumping into the sea in the firepower net of the national army. After understanding what was going on, I could only join the accomplices who had jumped in before and couldn't get out. look on in despair.

"Don't come in! You can't get out!" In the crowded trench, the Japanese soldiers already inside desperately yelled at the accomplices who were still rushing on the ground behind and trying to jump into the trench.

"Get the rope! Baga! We can't get out!"

"Use the sapper shovel! And the bayonet! Climb out!"

"Stacking Arhats! Climb out in the way of stacking Arhats!"

"There is a traffic trench here! Get out of here!"

The Japanese soldiers who tried to rush into the second trench through the traffic trench were shrouded in pouring blood and screams by the machine gun firepower network, while in the third trench, Jiang Weiguo, who saw this scene, held back his heart. excited: "Hurry up and detonate!"

"Such a big investment has been made! It would be a pity not to kill a large group of the Japanese army!" Du Yuming was also very excited.

Peng Bisheng, commander of the Engineer Battalion of the 918th Regiment, was very good at doing things. He handed over the trigger switch to Jiang Weiguo: "Second son, come here!"

Jiang Weiguo pressed the button impatiently.

In an instant, hundreds of electronically controlled landmines and hundreds of barrels of gasoline imported from Germany, which had been laid in advance by engineers and soldiers, were detonated and ignited amidst the skyrocketing fire and loud bangs. The trenches are like hundreds of flamethrowers lined up spraying flames into the sky together, forming a spectacular picture: hundreds of fireballs roaring in a line, the flames are like torches, the heat waves are like floods, and the trenches Like a raging river of magma, in the fiery storm, the countless steel balls that exploded from the landmines flew wildly at high speed like countless ricochet bullets. A small number of Japanese soldiers were killed by landmines on the spot, and more Japanese soldiers were engulfed by the fire like pork in an oven, or were killed by the collapse of steel balls.

The trenches became a collective crematorium for the Japanese soldiers inside. Amidst the horrific screams, the dead Japanese soldiers were burning, and the Japanese soldiers who were still alive were also burning, and they were all burned into human-shaped candles. They are all scenes that can be described as terrible: the Japanese soldiers who were seriously injured or injured in the legs and couldn’t move fell on the fire and howled madly. The burning uniforms were attached to the skin. The blisters were scorched and rotten in a large area, the facial features were burned and melted away, the helmet was completely stuck to the scalp, and he was quickly suffocated by the thick smoke, the oxygen was consumed by the fire, and the air was scalding like boiling water. Heaps of burning barbecue meat were finally burned into layers of charred mummies, and demons danced wildly on the flat ground around the trench, everywhere was affected by the fire and smoked, rolled everywhere, or was killed by the explosion of steel balls Yubeng The Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and wailed, like ghosts dancing wildly in the Temple of Yama.

"Okay! Haha!" Jiang Weiguo, Du Yuming and others all felt refreshed and happy watching such a "cruel and inhumane, tragic" scene. The scorching heat was mixed with the smell of burnt human flesh.

Jiang Weiguo smelled it, and he felt sick and refreshed.

On the edge of the battlefield, Lieutenant General Tani Hisao's expressions of "calmness, fearlessness, perseverance, self-confidence, and courage" all froze together. He was going to take Nanjing at the cost of 1000 casualties, but the firestorm just now of the Chinese army At least 1000 people were paid for him.

Chapter 222 Defending Nanjing (2)

Fuzhou, Fujian Province, the capital of the province and the seat of the naval headquarters and China's first military port after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Fuzhou.

On the wharf of Mawei Port, Lieutenant General Huang Guangrui, the deputy commander in chief of the Air Force, was leading a group of senior Air Force officers eagerly looking forward to it, and Lieutenant General Chen Ce, the deputy chief of staff of the Navy, was accompanied by several senior naval officers.

Under the bright sunshine in late summer and early autumn, the vast sea in the distance presents a calm and sparkling tranquility.

Hebei, Shanxi, Jiangsu and other places have been bombarded, but Fujian is as far away from chaos as a paradise.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" After waiting for a full hour, Huang Guangrui was a little impatient.

Chen Ce looked at his watch and comforted him, "Don't worry, there are still 15 minutes left according to the agreed time!" He smiled and said, "Germans are always extremely rigid and serious, especially when it comes to time, they are as accurate as clocks.

I remember that during the last World War, the German army and the British army faced each other on the battlefields of Western Europe. The German army launched shelling at a fixed time every day. One day, a senior British general found that the German army did not fire as scheduled that day. Someone said, "It must be you." The time of the watch is inaccurate'. After checking, it was true. The British general's watch was slow for 3 minutes because it was not wound that day. After 3 minutes, the German artillery burst out on time, and the British were amazed! "

Huang Guangrui couldn't help laughing: "Then let's wait!"

Huang Guangrui is the second-in-command of the Air Force, second only to Zhou Zhirou in status, but he is not a direct descendant of the Central Army. He was originally the commander of the Guangdong Air Force. The loss of the aviation power that has been painstakingly managed for many years has greatly injured the vitality and morale of the Guangdong-Guangdong Allied Forces, and made great contributions to Chiang Kai-shek's resolution of the "Guangdong Incident".

When Jiang Weiguo comprehensively rectified the Chinese Air Force, Huang Guangrui was appointed as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force because of his great achievements at the beginning, but because of "birth problems", he did not have much real power. Zhou Mao and Zhou Mao were intriguing and fighting openly and secretly all day long. Both of them tried their best to win over Huang Guangrui, but Huang Guangrui disdained to participate in the party struggle. He devoted himself to being in charge of the air force's logistics and equipment affairs. Because he was meticulous and detailed, he took care of the air force's logistics equipment affairs. Organized.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force does not yet have the ability to develop and produce aircraft by itself (it can imitate German aircraft, but the output is very low). Aircraft, aircraft parts, aircraft ammunition, etc. are extremely dependent on imports, mainly relying on Germany.

The Sino-Japanese War has broken out for more than three months. The Chinese Air Force has performed very well, because it has taken the right development path, "fighter first, fighter only", the Chinese Air Force has a large number of world-class fighter jets and a large number of world-class fighter pilots. It is difficult to bomb the Chinese army. According to Mao Bangchu's statistics, from July 7 to October 7, in the three months, the Chinese Air Force has shot down or destroyed more than 10 Japanese aircraft and damaged more than 7 Japanese aircraft. It is very brilliant, but the Chinese Air Force itself has also suffered a lot of losses. The cumulative damage (including being destroyed in air battles, damaged due to mechanical failure or bad weather, and irreparable after being injured) is 520 aircraft, including 170 fighters and 238 bombers. (most of which were lost to dive bombers attacking the Japanese fleet), 153 transport planes, and 68 reconnaissance planes.

Undoubtedly, in order to endure the war of resistance, the Chinese Air Force must constantly replenish aircraft, and supplementary aircraft can only be purchased.

Fighters must be constantly replenished. Injured fighters and severely worn fighters all need parts. In addition, bombers are also needed.

Actual combat has proved that the Chinese Air Force's "fighter first, fighter only" route is very correct, but it has also caused the Chinese Air Force to be "seriously biased", lacking bombers capable of launching air-to-ground strikes against the Japanese army, especially for the Japanese fleet dive bombers, and the Japanese artillery is very powerful. If the Chinese Air Force has the ability to strike the ground, it will naturally be able to bomb the positions of the Japanese artillery groups and play a greater role in this war.

Huang Guangrui was waiting for a German cargo ship, the 1.3-ton Crown Prince Wilhelm.

This cargo ship is fully loaded with aircraft and aircraft parts urgently needed by the Chinese Air Force at this time, including 60 bf-109 fighter jets, 50 ju-88 bombers, 40 ju-87 dive bombers, and a large number of aircraft parts and aerial bombs. The value of the batch of materials was as high as 3800 million U.S. dollars, and this was the figure after the "[-]% discount" ordered by Hitler's head of state. However, the national government did not need to pay so much cash. Tung oil is paid in a "barter" style.

The Crown Prince Wilhelm brought these German planes, spare parts, and bombs, and when they returned home, they would be filled with Chinese tungsten sand, pig bristles, and tung oil.

"Deputy Huang, look..." Chen Ce chatted with Huang Guangrui, and he seemed to express his feelings, "The sea in front of us is the Taiwan Strait! On the other side of the strait is the treasure island Taiwan that has been occupied by the Japanese for 42 years." !"

Huang Guangrui said bitterly: "Recovering Taiwan is mainly the responsibility of your navy!"

Chen Ce smiled wryly: "Our navy only has submarines, torpedo boats, and a few surface warships. How can we launch a large-scale amphibious landing battle? I sometimes think, 'We will win this war' and 'We will win this war'." Defeating Japan' is totally two different things! We will try our best to drive the Japanese out of China, including from the Northeast, and we can even enter the Korean peninsula, but how can we recover Taiwan? How can we land in Japan? We don't have a navy fleet! No matter what Whether it is the Taiwan Strait or the Korean Strait, they are both narrow, but they are both insurmountable moats for us!"

Perhaps because this topic is too heavy, Huang Guangrui also felt some sympathy. He sighed: "When the war really reaches that point, we can only rely on the Germans or Americans!" He is a member of the Air Force, but he feels the pain of the Navy. .

"Germans can't do it!" Chen Ce shook his head, "Germany, like us, vigorously develops the army and air force, but does not vigorously develop the navy. As far as I know, the German navy is now desperately building submarines, and the construction plans for aircraft carriers and battleships are completely abolished. up.

How can a navy composed of submarines fight amphibious landings?If we really want to hit the homeland of the Japanese, we may have to rely on the Americans!"

Huang Guangrui nodded: "This war is destined to be very long, let's focus on the present! Don't think too far, it will be a bit mediocre!"

Chen Ce retorted: "Thinking a little further, how can you say it's mediocre? It's a rainy day!"

Huang Guangrui smiled wryly: "So what if this war lasts for ten years? Leaving aside financial, human, and technical deficiencies, is time alone, ten years, enough to build a powerful naval fleet? A century-old navy, a century-old navy !"

Chen Ce was very sad, what Huang Guangrui said was really the most painful place in his heart.

"Seniors! The ship is coming!" A naval officer ran over with a happy face.

Huang Guangrui and Chen Ce looked at their watches together, and then smiled at each other: "It's only 1 minute away from the scheduled time, and the Germans really know the time as accurately as a clock!"

On the sea far away from Mawei Port, a large cargo ship flying the German flag is slowly approaching with a deep draft. On the bow deck, a group of German sailors and sailors are happily waving their hands. The Chinese personnel on the pier Also waved.

"torpedo! (German: torpedo)" a sailor on board suddenly looked terrified and shouted hoarsely.

Just a few seconds later, Huang Guangrui, Chen Ce and other Chinese personnel on the pier were stunned in front of the impending sea and air fireball suddenly turned into the Crown Prince Wilhelm and the shock wave like a tsunami and torrent.

The two torpedoes flying from under the sea all hit the side of the Prince Wilhelm, blasting through the weak shell in an instant, and then detonated a large number of aerial bombs in the cabin, causing this [-]-ton giant ship to almost explode. The ship, the people on the ship, and the ordnance and supplies on the ship were all turned into countless burning fragments flying all over the sky and then floating all over the sea.

A kilometer away in the blue waves, a black submarine without any proof of its identity slowly surfaced.

Major Kinashi Takaichi, the captain of the Japanese Navy's submarine I-66, held the periscope tightly with both hands. He was admiring the great victory he had just achieved with his eyes fixed on him. There was a strong sense of pleasure that let out a bad breath.

"Damn Chinese people! Do you think the empire doesn't have submarines? Damn Germans! The empire has tolerated you for a long time! It's time to teach you a lesson!" Major Muli kept cursing, his voice and body trembling Trembling from overexcitement.

According to common sense, it is suicidal for a submarine to surface in broad daylight in enemy waters. Within the range of the coastal defense guns, the Japanese submarines seemed to be uninhabited. In addition, Major Kinashi was so excited that he had to appreciate his achievements with his own eyes.

After a full 10 minutes of admiration, Yi-66 dived into the sea contentedly, but did not leave, but continued to carry out the task of "blocking Fuzhou Port".

The submarines of the Chinese Navy were exactly the same as the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force in the Sino-Japanese War. "Rampant activities and arrogance" brought a heavy blow to the Japanese army, and the national army submarines were "more rampant" than the national army fighter jets, because u-1075 Represented by the No. [-], the national army submarines not only attacked Japanese military ships, but even intensified their efforts to "blatantly trample on international conventions" and wantonly attacked Japanese civilian ships, causing huge property losses and casualties to Japan. Mostly civilian casualties.

The sinking of the Athena and the continuous sinking of civilian ships such as the Akiba Maru greatly stimulated the Japanese military, because in this war, Japan’s outsourcing of military supplies mainly relied on the United States, while China relied on In Germany, since Chinese submarines have brazenly attacked American ships that sold weapons to Japan, can Japanese submarines attack German ships that sold weapons to China?

Regarding this issue, there has been a very intense debate within the Japanese military.

The Japanese navy overwhelmingly agreed with the "attack", while the Japanese army was divided into two factions: "only attack Chinese ships" and "not only attack Chinese ships, but also attack all foreign ships, including German ships, that trade with China".

The reason why some people in the Japanese Army are "so benevolent" is that the Japanese Army has always firmly advocated the "Japan-Germany-Italy Triple Alliance", so it dare not offend Germany, and the Japanese Navy has always firmly opposed the "Japan-Germany-Italy Triple Alliance", so it does not matter whether it is offended or not. Offending Germany and attacking German ships, on the one hand, can cut off the sea channel for Germany to transfuse blood to China, on the other hand, it can completely kill the army's heart to form an alliance with Germany, killing two birds with one stone, and this is what the Japanese navy must do, because the autumn After the Hamaru and other Japanese civilian ships were successively sunk by Chinese naval submarines, Emperor Hirohito was very frightened and angry. He scolded the navy, "The navy of the Imperial Japanese Empire, which has the third most powerful strength in the world, can't even protect my subjects well." This made the Japanese navy very panic.

In response to the opposition in the army, the navy said angrily: "We don't want to fight those German ships? Well, we will listen to you, don't fight, and then let those German ships continue to bring more German planes to the Chinese army, German tanks, German cannons, anyway, people from your army died on the battlefield, and our navy just needs to watch the fun!" In this realistic situation, even the most staunch supporters of the Japan-Germany alliance in the Japanese army, He also had to change his view, "We can tentatively attack a few German ships and give the German government an indirect warning, but we must firmly deny that the Imperial submarine did it."

The Crown Prince Wilhelm was the first German cargo ship to be sunk by a Japanese submarine.

This "Fuzhou Port Incident" was actually a retaliatory action by the Japanese Navy for the sinking of the American ship Athena in the "Tokyo Bay Incident".

The Japanese Navy now has more than 40 submarines. Under the command of Rear Admiral Komatsu Teruhisa, the commander of the Japanese Navy’s submarine force, the Japanese Navy has transferred more than two-thirds of its submarines to the Chinese battlefield, focusing on blocking Qingdao, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, etc. At that time, it was an important port in the hands of the Chinese army, and carried out comprehensive mobile surveillance of the Chinese coastline, so as to "strangle China's sea transportation lines under the water surface" in advance. The Japanese submarine combat principle is "a Chinese ship worth a torpedo must To sink "" German ships with more than [-] tons can be considered to be sunk".

As a result, the Chinese and Japanese navies broke out a fierce submarine battle.

When Jiang Weiguo received the report from Huang Guangrui and Chen Ce, his excitement over the elimination of a large number of Japanese troops suddenly rolled over.

"Losing so many planes at once...Damn it!" Jiang Weiguo was heartbroken, "It seems that Little Japan has been forced to not even give face to the Germans!" He fell into extreme pain and regret.

Having said that, on the battlefield of Dongmen Town, Jiang Weiguo was not in the worst mood, because Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu was not in a better mood than Jiang Weiguo.

The Chief of Staff of the 6th Division Shimoichi Huo Dazuo looked at the face of the head of the division with a pale face, which was red and purple and then blue and black. He knew that the head of the division was shocked at first, and then furious. And it was unprecedented shock and fury. It was the first time he saw the head of the division so gaffe, he was deeply frightened and kept silent, and he didn't dare to speak comfort or persuasion.
