I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Xiao Yao and Jiang Weiguo were in tacit agreement: "At this moment, hundreds of thousands of national army troops are gradually withdrawing from Shanghai in batches, and veterans or wounded soldiers with rich actual combat experience are everywhere! Battalion, what should we do?" Hurry up and recruit troops! Get ready for the upcoming battle in Nanjing!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again: "Yes, this is for sure, and it is imminent!"

"I've already asked the principal!" Xiao Yao was impeccable in his work, "Our new division has 2 infantry brigades, 1 artillery regiment, 1 cavalry regiment, 1 engineer regiment, and 1 logistics regiment. Each infantry brigade has 2 infantry regiments, a total of 8 regiments.

According to your strength and ability in the camp, we can build this division even larger than a Type-A division of the Japanese army!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "I can't wait!" He knew that a new test was already waiting for him.

Chapter 236 Short Idle (3)

After Jiang Weiguo was injured and hospitalized, there were naturally as many people who wanted to visit him with various purposes, but the threshold of Jiang Weiguo's ward was not so high, he didn't want to be disturbed, let alone had time to be disturbed, he only saw his family and Friends, all other "idlers and others" will be gone.

Among all the people, Jiang Weiguo liked to meet Xiao Yao the most, because the two talked about the issue of troop expansion and how to fight the next Nanjing battle.

Of course, if it weren’t for the date of Japan’s massive attack on Nanjing (Jiang Weiguo estimates that it will be not too far away, but the actual situation is not certain, because the “butterfly effect” is everywhere), Jiang Weiguo is still very willing to be with his current girlfriend and his upcoming change. The ex-girlfriend of Cheng Xian's girlfriend gets along well alone, chatting about life and ideals.

Even Xiao Yao secretly praised Jiang Weiguo's style of "forgetting selfishness in public affairs and family in the country", and at the same time he became more and more sure that he did not choose the wrong "lord" at the beginning.

Don’t you see, after the Great War, the first thing many senior generals of the national army did after they retreated from the front line was not to reorganize the troops, prepare for the next battle, but busy making money, transferring their families, buying houses and land in the rear, and talking to the little ones. The beautiful wife and concubine had a good reunion, and Jiang Weiguo, as the son of the supreme leader, was injured and hospitalized. He was still in the hospital bed, but he insisted on working hard for the state and military affairs truly and wholeheartedly.

——Xiao Yao completely overestimated Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo is dedicated to the country, but he will not wrong himself, but he really has no time for romance now. He remembers that in the original history, the Battle of Songhu took place on November 11 After half a month, the Nanjing Defense War broke out on December 13st. He estimated that it would be about the same time. Half a month is not enough for the entire army, and there is no time to engage in the Fengyue war. thing.

To blame, and also to blame the wicked Japanese, for "causing" Jiang Weiguo to be so busy.

After learning that Jiang Weiguo was awake, Chiang Kai-shek, who was busy with the meeting, immediately adjourned the meeting and came to visit him. The father and son had the following conversation:

"Hey! Wei'er, how many times have I told you that the battlefield is dangerous! You are dedicated to killing the enemy and serving the country. I know my father, and I also understand and support it. I am deeply proud of the spirit of remorse, but, after all, people only have one life! Why did you take the lead in the charge? Knowing that you were injured again, your head was almost split open by shrapnel. I was really... Alas! Your father is a soldier For most of my life, how many times have my lives hung by a thread, and I will never forget each time! I remember that 12 years ago, I led the National Revolutionary Army to hold the Second Eastern Expedition to attack Chen Jiongming. On the Huayang battlefield, the troops around me were all I was scattered by the rebels. At that time, I thought, a revolutionary soldier would rather die than surrender, and not be a prisoner, so I drew my pistol and prepared to commit suicide. He died 12 years ago, and last year's Xi'an Incident..." Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be very emotional, and he was a little nagging.

(General Chen Geng later said that I knew that Chiang Kai-shek would become so reactionary in the later period, so I threw him into the ditch at that time.

）

"Father, I almost died, and you did it?" Jiang Weiguo said in a lukewarm tone.

"What...how do you say this?" Chiang Kai-shek was very surprised.

"Father, before the Battle of Songhu, didn't we agree to fight a comprehensive defensive war in Shanghai? Use a protracted war to hold back the Japanese army, and use a war of attrition to continuously consume the Japanese army's vital strength, but what about you? You saw the 101st Division The regiment went deep alone in Hudong, and immediately changed its combat plan. It wanted to fight offensive warfare, encirclement warfare, and mass annihilation warfare in Hudong, which seriously affected the overall situation and forced the national army to increase its troops in Shanghai on a large scale. The 101st Wing, you want to eat the 101st Brigade, and finally you can eat the 101st Brigade, and you want to eat the 101st Division, delaying and procrastinating will not only waste a lot of precious time, but also cost the national army A large number of mobile troops fell into the trap of the Japanese. Three divisions of the Japanese army suddenly landed in Jiangbei, threatening the capital. In the critical moment of Bao, you are still obsessed with wanting to eat the 101st Division. For the sake of the so-called international vision, political influence, etc., you have been reluctant to withdraw from Shanghai. I can work hard.

Don't work hard?How can we repel the 2nd and 6th divisions without desperately trying?How can we keep the capital and the Nanjing-Shanghai communication line without desperately trying?Even if you are lucky enough to turn the corner, you know that the 108th and 109th divisions of the Japanese army are completely outflanking the rear of the Shanghai National Army, but you are still not willing to withdraw from Shanghai!Father, I doubt that you may still be very proud now, thinking that your decision is correct and that you are right to stand up to the crowd, but you are really wrong!You are the supreme commander, even if you make a small mistake, the frontline troops need to spend countless lives to make up for it!Just like this Nanjing defense battle, I did not die after all, but General Gao Yinhuai, General Wang Mingzhang, General Guo Xunqi, General Zhu Yaohua and other tens of thousands of soldiers all died!If you quit as soon as the national army successfully ate the 101st regiment, the situation would not be like this, even if you eat the 101st brigade, it will not be too late to see you later, and we don’t need to die so many People, paid such a heavy price! "Jiang Weiguo never dared to offend Chiang Kai-shek, but this time, he couldn't bear it, and then "relying" on himself being injured, he gave Chiang Kai-shek earnest advice, all words were heart-to-heart, and his tone was very tough.

"Wei'er, what you said makes sense. Father, I actually... also have some regrets..." Chiang Kai-shek's face was full of shame. Of course, he did not complete the "thought reform" by Jiang Weiguo's words. In fact, he still did not He felt that what he had done was "too wrong", but as a father, it was too late for Chiang Kai-shek to feel heartache for Jiang Weiguo who was almost killed, so there would be no tit-for-tat.

Jiang Weiguo also saw that Chiang Kai-shek was "unconvinced". On the one hand, he was helpless, and on the other hand, he also understood that people's thinking could not be changed so easily. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek had his "difficulties" after all.

After all, the military is a continuation of politics, and soldiers must obey politicians, and the military is meant to serve politics.

"Father..." Jiang Weiguo had to change the subject, "Since the Japanese have captured Shanghai, I think they will attack Nanjing soon, and they will definitely make a comeback. We must make preparations early!"

"This..." To Jiang Weiguo's surprise, there was no tension or solemnity on Chiang Kai-shek's face, but a strange "relaxation" on his face, "Wei'er, you don't know, Nanjing is likely not to be attacked. This war has a chance to end!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback.

Chiang Kai-shek showed a very confident expression: "You also know that after the two wars in Pingjin and Shanghai, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but you don't know, because the heavy losses greatly exceeded the expectations of the Japanese military's high-level leaders and the Japanese government's psychology. Accept, therefore, the voice of 'peaceful truce' has already appeared in the top levels of the Japanese government, and it has also received the support of many high-level Japanese military!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo became more and more surprised.

"The German ambassador to China, Tautman, has received hints from high-level Japanese officials, hoping that Germany can mediate in the middle!" Chiang Kai-shek was radiant, "The high-level Germans are very supportive of the Sino-Japanese armistice, so they will spare no effort in this matter. Many high-level Japanese people also Already fearing that continuing the Sino-Japanese War will completely outweigh Japan’s gains, coupled with the support of the United States, Britain, France, Italy and other powers, I think that as long as we fully grasp the opportunity, the war can be over!”

Jiang Weiguo's eyes widened, and his thoughts suddenly became confused.

Jiang Weiguo already had a political mind at this time, and the Maritime Statistics Bureau also sent him a lot of information documents, many of which were confidential documents.

After repeated reading and analysis, Jiang Weiguo gradually cleared up his thoughts: Because of his interference and changes in history, although the overall situation did not change much in the early days of the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army paid a heavy price far beyond the original history. The price, under such circumstances, the Japanese high-level leaders did have a faint idea of ​​retreating (after all, in the early days after the July [-]th Incident broke out, the Japanese high-level leaders had a fierce dispute over whether to "expand the war against China", and internal opinions were not unified ), at the same time, the international powers also hope for a truce between China and Japan. Of course, all the powers have different motives for hoping for a truce between China and Japan. , will pose a threat to the homeland or eastern colonies of these countries), Germany has another plan.

Among the great powers, Germany most hopes for a truce between China and Japan, and its purpose is very far-sighted.

The German government’s consideration of the issue must be based on Germany’s own interests: China and Germany have no enmity, and Japan and Germany do not have much hatred (although Japan took advantage of Germany during the last world war, but in addition to proving that the Japanese are despicable, they have no hatred for Germany. Germany can "forgive" Japan for the sake of longer-term interests, or Germany wants to use Japan, so it forgives Japan superficially. It has long been deliberate to destroy the Soviet Union, and at the same time it is very likely to go to war with the United States, Britain and France. Only China and Italy, the two main allies, Germany is still somewhat weak, so - Germany wants to maintain the situation of wooing China Next, be a great favor and win over Japan.

Germany wants to mediate a Sino-Japanese armistice first, and then make every effort to build a "Germany, China and Japan" tripartite alliance to deal with the Soviet Union, the United States, Britain and France.

After all, to deal with the United States and Britain, Germany needs Japan's third largest navy in the world. In addition, the Japanese army is also very useful.

To put it bluntly, as long as the conflict of interests between China and Japan is resolved, the interests of Germany, China and Japan are the same.

"Such a brilliant move!" Jiang Weiguo was shocked.

After all, Germany regards China as its first ally, so Hitler's global strategic concept is only a hint to Chiang Kai-shek, and there is no official announcement, let alone the Japanese government. The German government also knows that China and Japan are now at odds. If you want to turn China and Japan into allies of Germany, this matter will inevitably have a long way to go, and it will take a long time to buffer and mediate.

Chiang Kai-shek was very interested in Hitler's idea. However, objectively speaking, Chiang Kai-shek did not have the ambition to "carve up the world with Germany and Japan." He just hoped to use Hitler's help to stop the Sino-Japanese war. Even Taiwan.

Hitler wanted to pull both China and Japan into the German chariot, while Chiang Kai-shek wanted to use Hitler in turn. The fundamental goals of the two are different.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek is a "pro-American faction". He knows that Germany is indeed very powerful, but the United States is super powerful. He does not have the courage to fight against the United States with Germany and Japan. He dare not turn China into an enemy of the United States. This is the truth.

Although the feasibility of Hitler's idea is very low, it is very likely that the war between China and Japan will be resolved. Coupled with the help of the United States, Britain and France, Chiang Kai-shek "relapsed into an old problem."

"Father..." Jiang Weiguo suppressed all kinds of boiling thoughts in his heart, "Let's not think too far ahead, you see, the facts have proved that the only way to deal with the Japanese is to beat them! Beat them hard! Because We hurt the Japanese in Pingjin and Shanghai, so the Japanese talents began to loosen.

Next, no matter how the international political situation changes, we still have to consider the immediate top priority.

Father, Nanjing is about to become the front line, and it is our duty to organize the army and prepare for the battle!"

Although Chiang Kai-shek was "fantasizing", he was not confused, he nodded repeatedly: "I know, I understand that we must go all out to prepare for the war in Nanjing.

To stop the war, although political means are the main ones, military means cannot be ignored or relaxed.

Nanjing must be well defended and defended.

By the way, Weier, I plan to organize your troops into a division and strengthen it a little bit. What do you think? "

"Of course I can't wait for it!" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Father, this war broke out on July 77th. The July [-]th Incident is our national humiliation. My division should be called the '[-]th Division'!"

"The 77th Division?" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help laughing. He rubbed his forehead, "Let me think about it...the 77th Division...I just remembered. I don't have the number and organization of this division yet. Okay, I'll give it to you!" ( In the original history, the 77th Division was established after the Songhu Battle and belonged to the remaining lines of the Hunan Army.

Liu Jianxu's 10th Army was the Hunan Army. Since it was a local army, it was naturally cut down after being disabled. Part of the Hunan Army's remnants were formed into the 77th Division. The 54rd Army participated in three battles including the Battle of Changsha, the Great Winter Counterattack, the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the Battle of Western Hubei, the Battle of Changde, the Battle of Changheng, and the Battle of Western Hunan. Finally, the Battle of Laiwu was wiped out by the People's Liberation Army in the civil war.

Jiang Weiguo's formation of the 77th Division is a new one, because the division has not yet been established at this time.

）

Taking advantage of the "great opportunity" of his own injury, Jiang Weiguo took the opportunity to ask Chiang Kai-shek for the establishment of the 77th Division.

A standard army division of the national army will have 2 brigades, each brigade has 2 regiments, and the 77th division has 3 brigades, each brigade has 3 regiments, and does not include the troops directly under the division headquarters. The scale is comparable to the 101st Division that was deliberately strengthened by the Japanese.

Jiang Weiguo specially built his 77th Division so strong and strong, on the one hand, to kill the Japanese, and on the other hand, to cultivate his "direct lineage strength".

How old-fashioned Chiang Kai-shek is, how can he not know Jiang Weiguo's Xiaojiujiu, but he strongly supports it.

Despite being so busy, Chiang Kai-shek still came to visit Jiang Weiguo once a day. Song Meiling was not as busy as Chiang Kai-shek, so she came several times a day and wiped her tears every time. Transferring Jiang Weiguo to the rear or to the Military Commission or the Military and Political Department, anyway, is to be transferred from the frontline troops. Jiang Weiguo was so frightened that he swore that he would never take the lead in charging again. He didn't want to leave the frontline.

Jiang Jingguo also came to visit Jiang Weiguo. After the two brothers met, Jiang Jingguo was full of words, nothing more than worrying about his younger brother, admiring his younger brother, feeling sorry for his younger brother, and then repeatedly telling his younger brother not to work so hard in the future , "Weiguo, if something happens to you, what should I do? What will happen to my father? And my wife, and..." Jiang Jingguo was full of blame and sighing, but suddenly couldn't help laughing, because he was overwhelmed by what he was going to say next. Amused, "There are so many women of yours..."

Jiang Weiguo was embarrassed, and he changed the subject: "Brother, let's talk about something else! Aren't you the county magistrate in Dayu County? Why did you go back to Nanjing?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Peaceful times are peaceful times, and now is a time of war! You and your father are both in Nanjing, how can I be alone? Even if I can't share your worries, at least I want to visit you? I have long wanted to come But after the war started, the whole country served the war. Trains, ships, and planes were all busy transporting troops and military supplies to the front. I had to wait patiently. , especially when I heard that the Japanese army had begun to attack Nanjing a while ago, it made me even more anxious!" Jiang Jingguo sighed.

Jiang Weiguo laughed, and he felt a kind of deep affection and warmth unique to brothers (although Jiang Weiguo is not necessarily Jiang Jingguo's real brother), which made him very warm, because he (Meng Xiang) was the only child in later generations female.

"It's really nice to have a brother. No wonder the little Yanzi in "My Fair Princess" was so excited that he went crazy after knowing that he had a brother!" Jiang Weiguo thought to himself, thinking of something, he smiled and said, "Brother, I heard that you are here Dayu County did a great job! The local people praised you and called you 'Jiang Qingtian'!"

Jiang Jingguo smiled wryly: "Weiguo, stop laughing at me.

Yes, I did achieve some achievements, at the beginning, I was a little complacent, but soon, I found that it was not my credit, and I even fell into panic and confusion because of it!"

"Brother, why did you say this?"

"Weiguo, the reason why I can be successful in the official circles of Dayu County and even the entire Jiangxi Province is not my own ability, but the ability of my father behind me. If I didn't have the father of the supreme leader of the country, how could I be in this country? Is there a ban in Dayu County? If I were a helpless 'naked official', then I would hardly be able to do anything.

In addition, the reason why I can do some good things for the people of Dayu County is because I still firmly adhere to the principle of "the world is for the public". Then I will do bad things that harm public welfare and private interests.

So, after thinking about it over and over again, I feel that my achievements are the result of two aspects. One is that I have my father as the backer and background, and the other is that I adhere to principles.

Without these two, I would either be doing nothing, or be in the same boat.

Weiguo, take a closer look, I have to feel scared, you see, how harsh the conditions are for our China to produce a truly good official who is honest and honest, and works for the people!Whether it is backing or principles, it is difficult to maintain for a long time. Who can guarantee that my father will always be the supreme leader?Besides, my father will also age and step down. With so many officials in the country, how many of them will have a strong backer like me?In addition, who can guarantee that I will always stick to my principles and that I am not corrupt or degenerate?I found that our country basically does not have an effective system to ensure the clean and honest operation of the government, so that all horses in the officialdom are silent and the atmosphere is old. All officials want to make money. How can the country become prosperous and strong? " Jiang Jingguo sighed.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help paying respect to Jiang Jingguo. It is undoubtedly very valuable and remarkable that Jiang Jingguo has such a mind and independent thinking ability.

"Brother, don't worry, take your time!" Jiang Weiguo comforted, "We will definitely clean up this country thoroughly! Sooner or later!"

Jiang Jingguo looked at Jiang Weiguo, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there was a firmness in the bitter smile: "Well, you are right.

My father may not be able to change this situation, he is either involuntary or powerless, but when our generation officially enters the military and political arena and takes real power, we must work hard!Thoroughly clean the whole country! He thought for a while and remembered a very important thing, "By the way, Weiguo, our trade with Germany has been seriously affected by the war.

Many submarines of the Japanese army are operating in the extended waters of our important ports. It is said that the Japanese Navy has also built a new fleet in Taiwan to monitor, control, and block our sea outlets. This makes it impossible for our merchant ships to go to foreign countries. Foreign merchant ships Can't come to China.

Our trade volume of tungsten sand with Germany has dropped to less than [-]% of the previous peak, and many German and Chinese merchant ships have been sunk by Japanese submarines!" He sighed, "Our country is about to be blocked.

The northeast is in the hands of the Japanese, the northwest is in the hands of the Soviets, and the southwest is close to the territory of the British and French. They will not let Germany trade with us through their territory.

If the sea route is impassable, we can only take the land route, but the land route also seems to be impassable. Both Singapore and the Straits of Malacca are in the hands of the British.

I estimate that as the war progresses, Germany’s assistance to us will decrease day by day, not because Germany doesn’t want to help us, but because their ships can’t get in and our ships can’t get out!”

"Brother, you are right. This is indeed a very serious problem!" Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again. Trade channels, materials such as tungsten sand, bristles, and tung oil cannot be shipped out or sold, and naturally they cannot get banknotes and arms.

Chapter 237 No.70 Seventh Division

Among the people who came to visit Jiang Weiguo, the one Jiang Weiguo feared most was Mrs. Yao Yecheng and Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao loves Jiang Weiguo so much that she regards Jiang Weiguo as her sweetheart. Seeing that Jiang Weiguo's head almost exploded this time, she was naturally frightened out of her wits. Every time she entered the ward, her tears immediately flowed non-stop. She is a devout Buddhist I specially gave Jiang Weiguo a jade Guanyin pendant, claiming that it was consecrated by an eminent monk. Jiang Weiguo would be blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva after wearing it. He also said that Jiang Weiguo must have survived this catastrophe because she prayed for Jiang Weiguo every day. Epiphany effect.

Of course Jiang Weiguo would accept this gift from Mrs. Yao, but he had already hung the cross that Song Meiling gave him around his neck. Chiang Kai-shek also developed into a Christian.

In order to avoid "religious conflicts", Jiang Weiguo wore a cross around his neck in front of Song Meiling, and put a jade Guanyin on his neck in front of Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao wiped her tears every time she came, not because Jiang Weiguo was afraid of her coming. The real reason was that Mrs. Yao would bring Shi Liting with her every time she came. And when she was alone with her, she didn't say a word, but just looked at each other silently, and her behavior produced the kind of "a thousand words can't be said, so I have to swallow silently" "Silence speaks louder at this time" "Qiong Yao's dramatic atmosphere.

Speaking of it, the reason why Shi Liling "returned when he was lost" is also very simple. When she discovered that Jiang Weiguo had "reneged on his love vow" and transformed into the version of Chen Shimei in the Republic of China, she couldn't accept it immediately (Jiang Weiguo didn't know what his predecessor Jiang Weiguo had said to Shi Liling. Sweet words, probably "I will marry you", "I only love you", "I will never fall in love with other women" and other absolute words), plus she is a married woman, so I decided to Completely broke with Jiang Weiguo, and Jiang Weiguo ran to the battlefield. He acted so heroically on the battlefield and almost died, which made Shi Liling feel so sad and tortured. She couldn't let go of Jiang Weiguo. She suddenly realized that Jiang Weiguo It turned out that it occupied such an important position in my heart, and I was deceiving myself and others by thinking of a clean break, so under Mrs. Yao's persuasion, I "come back again".

Of course, it is difficult for Shi Liling to reunite with Jiang Weiguo again, because it is difficult for her to let go of her identity and self-esteem to be Jiang Weiguo's concubine.

Jiang Weiguo really couldn't stand this kind of thing, and after holding on for five days, he was rushed out of the hospital with his head covered in bandages. First, time was running out and he had to race against time to prepare for the next battle in Nanjing, and second, he stayed in the hospital too painful.

When slipping out of the ward, Jiang Weiguo bumped into Yangmei who was standing guard outside the door.

Yang Mei is already "Mrs. Jiang, the second-in-command", but she doesn't care about this "noble status" at all. She still insists on fulfilling her responsibilities in the army and carrying out the task of protecting Jiang Weiguo.
