I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

After watching carefully for a long while, Jiang Weiguo said helplessly: "Which one is my father? Why do I feel like Monkey King in Journey to the West, whose father is a Tang monk, but the green-haired lion monster has become a fake Tang monk, so I can't tell the difference.

so similar!Lifelike! "

Song Meiling, Chen Lifu, and the two Chiang Kai-sheks couldn't help laughing. One of the "Chiang Kai-shek" said nervously to the other Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, I didn't have any exposure just now, right?"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded approvingly: "Very good, very good, so many reporters, as well as He Yingqin and the others, didn't see any flaws.

He Yun, you really put your heart into it!You learned my Zhejiang Fenghua accent very much!"

Song Meiling looked at Chiang Kai-shek and "Chiang Kai-shek" repeatedly, and then looked at Chiang Kai-shek: "Darling, He Yun's accent is actually not very similar. The venue was too noisy and noisy, so I covered it up, but if you speak quietly That being said, the difference can still be heard.

Darling, He Yun can pretend to be you for a while, but if he pretends to be you for a few months, he will definitely show his flaws. At the meeting just now, he said a total of three times. Speaking, people will definitely find something wrong, especially his voice, his Mandarin is still not accurate, and your voice is very sonorous, his voice is a little dull and hoarse, and he seems to lack confidence when speaking publicly!"

"Chiang Kai-shek," whose real name is He Yun, said with a wry smile: "Madam, I'm not the real chairman after all! It's hard to draw a tiger's skin, and the chairman's leadership temperament is really something ordinary people like me can't learn!"

"This is easy!" Jiang Weiguo had an idea, "Let 'Father' pretend to be accidentally injured in the war and wrap a bandage around his neck. In this way, 'Father' can keep silent, or use the name of recuperating to live in seclusion and occasionally come out to inspect Just one click!"

"Second Young Master, this method is very good!" Chen Lifu nodded repeatedly.

Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling thought about it and nodded.

This He Yun is Chiang Kai-shek's stand-in, and he is also Chiang Kai-shek's sworn brother. He is also from Zhejiang and is seven years older than Chiang Kai-shek. For his own use, he acted as his own stand-in when necessary. Chen Lifu was responsible for this (Chen Lifu’s elder brother, Chen Guofu, had already suffered from tuberculosis during the [-] Revolution, and his health was deteriorating. Manipulating too much real power is mainly for recuperation, so Chen Lifu is really active in Erchen).

Chen Lifu trained He Yun meticulously and secretly to make him look like Chiang Kai-shek. Even Song Meiling didn't know that He Yun was a counterfeit when she first met He Yun without knowing about it.

He Yun started to serve as Chiang Kai-shek's stand-in at the end of 1934, and he has always performed well, but because Song Meiling didn't like this person who looked exactly like her husband, and because Chiang Kai-shek's power was becoming more and more consolidated, he didn't need to go to the front line or go to dangerous places in person, so he It has been "snow hidden" for the past two years, but now, he has been reactivated to take on a major mission.

This was Xiao Yao's idea. He once asked Chiang Kai-shek: "Principal, please forgive me. May I ask... do you have a substitute?"

Xiao Yao had a plan: the real Chiang Kai-shek would secretly go to Wuhan or Chongqing, hide behind the scenes and command the overall situation, while He Yun would stay in Nanjing as "Chiang Kai-shek" and stay on the battlefield in Nanjing. To boost the morale of the national army participating in the war on the Nanjing battlefield, secondly, this move can greatly anger the Japanese ("Chiang Kai-shek" personally sat in Nanjing, and even magnified that Nanjing was foolproof, which naturally made the arrogant and arrogant Japanese military deeply feel that they were despised) To lure the Japanese army to attack Nanjing, which is destined to be extremely difficult to attack, and cooperate with the overall strategy of the national army in this war, use Nanjing to hold back the Japanese army, prevent the Japanese army from skipping Nanjing, and thus give the main force of the national army valuable rest and supplementary time.

As for the third, there is a deeper "political conspiracy".

Jiang Weiguo didn't expect it at all, but Xiao Yao thought of it, and Xiao Yao's idea deeply made Chiang Kai-shek full of praise.

What is Xiao Yao's third purpose?It is to lure the snake out of the hole.

"Chiang Kai-shek" personally sat in Nanjing. If Nanjing was surrounded by the Japanese army, wouldn't "Chiang Kai-shek" be in deep prison and lose the ability to control the whole country?Under such circumstances, wouldn't the hidden anti-Chiang faction take the opportunity to move around?The real Chiang Kai-shek was hidden in Wuhan or Chongqing, and he coldly monitored those anti-Chiang factions who said "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings". cleaning.

As the saying goes, "A friend in adversity sees the truth, and in times of troubled times, we can distinguish loyalty from traitors." When Chiang Kai-shek was in trouble in Xi'an, who was loyal and who was traitor was exposed at once. This Nanjing double is actually the second test of "distinguishing loyalty from traitors".

At that time, the "Chiang Kai-shek" in Nanjing will be hidden, and the Chiang Kai-shek in Wuhan or Chongqing will appear in public, seamlessly, as long as the "two Chiang Kai-shek" do not appear at the same time. ", I'm sorry, this is a state secret, there is no comment, whether it's by plane or tunnel, anyway, the Chairman is out of danger.

Chiang Kai-shek greatly appreciated and readily adopted this "poisonous plan" offered by his students.

As the saying goes, "Brothers fight tigers, father and son fight in battle".

Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Weiguo and his son went to the Nanjing battlefield together, but the "Chiang Kai-shek" who was sitting in Nanjing to face the Japanese army was just a stand-in. The real Chiang Kai-shek would leave Nanjing quietly, but Jiang Weiguo, who was fighting the Japanese army in Nanjing, was genuine, and Jiang Weiguo did not have a stand-in.

Chapter 240

It is extremely unbelievable that Chiang Kai-shek appointed "himself" as the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison. Next, he issued another unimaginable order: rush to gather in Nanjing or withdraw from Shanghai to Nanjing from all over the country. National Army units, including the 2nd, 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 15th, 19th, 21st, and 23rd Army Groups, except for the 77th, 88th, 99th, and 100th Divisions Apart from moving, the rest of the troops "from the top to the general and down to the second-class soldiers. Those who are willing to participate in the defense of Nanjing can leave the original troops and stay in the Nanjing area to stand by. Those who are not willing to move to northern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and northern Zhejiang according to the original plan. Take a break to replenish."

After this order was promulgated, the entire army and the whole country were in an uproar, and all parties abroad were also shocked.

He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Cheng Qian, Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang, Wang Jingwei and other officials of the national army and state government were all dumbfounded: "What the hell is the old man doing?" What kind of medicine?" "It's simply unheard of! It's a strange story through the ages!"

There are two other sentences in this order: "If the war in Nanjing begins, those who stay in Nanjing will have almost no hope of surviving; those who stay in Nanjing will have no reward, and those who leave Nanjing will have no punishment!"

The meaning of this order issued by Chiang Kai-shek is very clear: he wants to fight the Nanjing campaign, and the soldiers he needs are those who voluntarily stay in Nanjing, and those who stay in Nanjing must be mentally prepared to die in Nanjing. At the same time, Those who stayed were not rewarded, and those who left were not punished.

I have to say that this order is indeed "an unheard of story through the ages".

According to common sense, if a commander wants to defend a certain place, he must designate a certain unit or units. The unit that assigns the unit is at least a "regiment". Whichever regiment commander, brigade commander, division commander, or army commander is willing to fight this vicious battle, the regiment, brigade, division, and army will be sent there. The attitude and wishes of the soldiers will not be taken into account.

The vast majority of ordinary soldiers are "involuntary". Wherever the chief goes, they can only go there, and no one cares whether they want to go or not.

One can imagine such a typical situation: a certain regiment has 3000 officers and soldiers, and the regiment needs to be filled in for a certain vicious battle. What about the 3000 officers and soldiers in the regiment?Are all of them not afraid of death like the head of the regiment, and determined to serve the country?The answer is definitely no. There must be many or even many officers and soldiers in the regiment who don't want to go with the regiment leader and are determined to serve the country without fear of death, but they have no choice.

And Chiang Kai-shek's order is to thoroughly implement the "voluntary principle". He does not order a certain or a few troops to stay in Nanjing, a place that is destined not to leave now, but to the whole country. The army launched the "voluntary principle". His order was issued to everyone, from top to bottom, including the general commander of the group army, as well as ordinary soldiers at the lowest level. Everyone has the right to choose and will not be involuntary.

Undoubtedly, using this method to determine the personnel to stay in Nanjing is indeed a unique precedent in the history of human warfare.

In a word, the core meaning of Chiang Kai-shek’s order to the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the entire army is: You can all go, the Military Commission and the Military and Political Department have arranged places for you to rest and recuperate. Go to southern Anhui, and some to northern Zhejiang. You can take a good rest there. At the same time, those of you who are willing to stay and defend Nanjing can stay and prepare to join the war.

This idea was strongly suggested by Jiang Weiguo to Chiang Kai-shek. Of course, it was Xiao Yao who really came up with the idea.

After hearing this idea, Chiang Kai-shek pondered for a while, and then showed embarrassment: "What if... what if all the troops leave and only a few people remain?"

A total of about 90 national troops participated in and were preparing to participate in the Songhu Battle, with about 30 casualties. Therefore, the national army assembled in the Nanjing area and between Shanghai and Nanjing was about 60 to [-] people.

Chiang Kai-shek was worried that the 60 million troops would "go cleanly" after the order was issued. After all, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to be greedy for life and fear death. At that time, things will be embarrassing. First, how many troops are there in Nanjing? guard?If there are only 3 to [-] or [-] to [-], what hope is there for fighting?Second, the troops dispersed in a rush. Where did Chiang Kai-shek, the supreme commander, put his face?

"It won't be like that!" Jiang Weiguo comforted Chiang Kai-shek confidently, "Father, although there are many malpractices and bad habits in the national army, most officers and soldiers, especially the grassroots officers and soldiers, are full of enthusiasm for serving the country.

Even if one tenth of the people would stay, there would still be fifty thousand! "Jiang Weiguo is very clear. Objectively speaking, the Chinese army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War still had the spirit of sacrificing for the country. As the saying goes, "there is no filial son before the long sick bed", the blood of Chinese soldiers gradually deteriorates, becomes lazy, and sinks due to various reasons, and their thoughts become numb and muddled. Eventually, the entire army becomes lifeless and lacks vigor.

This is indeed true. The fighting spirit of the Chinese soldiers in the early days of the War of Resistance even surprised the Japanese soldiers, but in the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance, the Chinese soldiers were like the defeated soldiers in "My Commander, My Regiment", without blood, without Passionate, no fighting spirit, just waiting to die, grassroots officers and soldiers are in a state of disunity, while high-level officials completely pin their hopes of victory on the Americans, they don't want to fight, they just want to make money and have fun.

Although Jiang Weiguo repeatedly comforted Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek was still worried. In order to prevent the embarrassing situation of "no one responded", the 77th, 88th, 99th, and 100th divisions were ordered to "not move for the time being."

When Xiao Yao told Jiang Weiguo his idea, although Jiang Weiguo agreed very much, because defending Nanjing requires everyone in the army, not just the middle and high-level officers, but also every grassroots soldier must have a [-]% belief in death, but Jiang Weiguo I feel that some details in Xiao Yao's plan are inappropriate.

"Why do you want to expressly say that 'those who stay in Nanjing have almost no hope of surviving'?" Jiang Weiguo asked Xiao Yao.

"The one who stays voluntarily knowing that he must die is the real dead soldier!" Xiao Yao replied.

"Why do you have to expressly say that 'those who stay in Nanjing will not be rewarded, and those who leave Nanjing will not be punished'? This is really bad, right? Of course, those who leave should not be punished, but those who stay should be rewarded heavily? After all, those who are willing to stay People are real warriors and heroes! They must be rewarded properly!"

"Of course there must be rewards, but, first, reward them after they stay, and second, specially announce that they will not reward them before they stay.

What we want are dead soldiers who fight for the country, not for money. The motivation to join the war must be [-]% pure, only fight for the country, and people with distracting thoughts cannot be mixed into the team.

Knowing that staying must die and knowing that staying is not good, but still voluntarily staying without hesitation, such a soldier is a real soldier!Such an army is truly invincible! "Xiao Yao replied decisively.

"Well said!" Jiang Weiguo completely agreed with Xiao Yao.

"Five to 60 people, how many people will stay?" Jiang Weiguo thought, he felt that this question was very solemn, at least, he himself stayed (after all, Chiang Kai-shek "cheated", so he was not counted as staying).

Thinking of this, Jiang Weiguo's heart boiled: Both he, Jiang Weiguo, and I, Meng Xiang, are Chinese!Whether it is the Republic of China or the People's Republic of China, it is China!I am worthy of my historical mission!I am worthy of the Yanhuang blood flowing in my veins!I am worthy of my identity as an upright Chinese!I am worthy of my motherland!I am worthy of my Chinese nation!

"Five to 60 people, how many people will stay when they know they must die, have no rewards, and have no orders?"

This question is actually a test for Chinese soldiers.

According to the order of the Military Commission, the 2nd and 19th Group Armies went to northern Jiangsu, the 5th, 8th, 10th, and 15th Group Armies went to northern Zhejiang, the 9th Group Army canceled its establishment, and the 11th, 21st, and 23rd Group Armies went to southern Anhui... The troops have their own places to go. Generally speaking, the southern Jiangsu area with Shanghai as the core has fallen or is about to fall. The Japanese army will attack the above areas. On the one hand, they will rest and replenish. In the entire southern Jiangsu area, only Nanjing, which is about to become the eye of the typhoon, remains.

It is worth mentioning that all units of the national army that were evacuated from southern Jiangsu followed orders and left most of their heavy weapons and more than half of their firearms and ammunition in Nanjing. Other places will not bear the brunt of the next war, and the arsenals in Chongqing, Wuhan and other places will supplement.

In the afternoon, the gunboat Datong sailed to Xiaguan Wharf to undertake an extraordinary task of transporting the coffin of Dr. Sun Yat-sen from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum away from Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo took a team of guards and guards to Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and Ma Xiang, the director of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Security Department, received Jiang Weiguo.

This Mr. Ma Xiang has superb martial arts skills and excellent marksmanship, and he is utterly loyal to Mr. Sun Yat-sen. When Mr. Sun Yat-sen was alive, he was the captain of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's guard. Soong Ching Ling escaped from danger. After the death of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he served as the chief of the security department of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and continued to guard Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

It is worth mentioning that Ma Xiang is a member of Hongmen. He was an overseas Chinese in Canada in his early years, and he was also the branch head of Zhigongtang in Vancouver, Canada. In other words, he is Situ Gong’s subordinate and friend.

After bowing respectfully and saluting, the engineers carefully dug open the mausoleum, dug out Mr. Sun Yat-sen's coffin lightly, and transported it to the gunboat Datong to Chongqing.

"Second son..." Ma Xiang walked up to Jiang Weiguo, "Mr. Situ knows what happened here in Nanjing, and he also knows about your injury. He sent over 50 U.S. dollars, and he will send another group of young overseas Chinese who returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War! "

"Thank Situ Gong for me!" Jiang Weiguo was very moved.

Ma Xiang looked very sadly at the Sun Yat-sen mausoleum that was "empty", "Second son, I really didn't expect Mr. Sun Yat-sen to be peaceful after his death! How long will it take for the Republic of China created by Mr. Zhongshan to become prosperous and strong? "

"Yes! I will!" Jiang Weiguo was also a little sad, and his heart was even more resentful. The Japanese, you came to the city of our capital, forcing the supreme leader of our country to leave the capital, and also forced the father of our country to die. There will be no peace. When I invade Tokyo, not only will the city be massacred, but your imperial palace will be burned down, and all the tombs of Taisho and Meiji will be dug up!

Apart from the army, those who left Nanjing were civilians who outnumbered the soldiers by ten or even twenty times.

At this time, Jiangsu Province had a population of about 3300 million (including Shanghai's population of more than 300 million, after all, Shanghai now belongs to Jiangsu). The population exceeds 1400 million.

As early as before the war, Jiang Weiguo began to carry out the large-scale migration to the east, which made the population of southern Jiangsu about 1200 million at this time. Knowing the brutality of the Japanese, the third is that the first goal of the Eastern Great Migration is industry, and the second goal is people, so there is still a large population in southern Jiangsu.

Of course, although the population is still large, the industrial industries have basically moved away, including mining, electrical machinery, radio, chemistry, canned food, ceramics, glass, printing, stationery, hardware, textiles, and leather in southern Jiangsu, including Shanghai and Nanjing. All walks of life have been relocated.

Regarding the old problem of Chinese people who "do not shed tears without seeing the coffin", the Chongming Island tragedy that occurred during the Songhu Battle has taught the Chinese people a good lesson. Jiang Weiguo ordered the Maritime Statistics Bureau to use this incident to vigorously publicize it, resulting in a rapid and substantial decline in the population of southern Jiangsu. , dropped to about 800 million at the end of the Songhu Battle.

The Japanese army occupying Shanghai started from Shanghai and slowly advanced towards Nanjing, while the national army retreated slowly all the way, while the residents of Suzhou, Kunshan, Changshu, Wuxi, Jiangyin, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places between Shanghai and Nanjing flocked to follow the national army. Under the cover of the national army, most of the millions of civilians flocked to Nanjing. The population of Shanghai alone dropped from 350 million before the war to 150 million during the Japanese occupation.

Since Nanjing is not a place to stay for a long time, it can only become a transit point for refugees. Therefore, the refugees who went to Nanjing left Nanjing together with the troops that retreated to northern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and northern Zhejiang.

Not only that, even the local residents of Nanjing were relocated on a large scale.

Before the war, Nanjing had a population of more than 100 million. At this time, there were still about 55 people, of which the urban population was about 38.

Jiang Weiguo knew very well that in the original history, the National Government and Tang Shengzhi, who commanded the defense of the city, did a very bad job of evacuating the people, which led to so many civilians falling into the clutches of the Japanese army. In addition, Nanjing was about to become a battlefield. This city is a military city, the soldiers are the first, or even the only soldiers, and civilians are not needed, so he firmly asked Nanjing Mayor Ma Chaojun to organize the evacuation of Nanjing residents and residents from other places in southern Jiangsu who poured into Nanjing.

Ma Chaojun said with some embarrassment: "The traffic in Nanjing is very tense now, there are not so many vehicles and boats!"

"Walk on two legs if you don't have a car or a boat!" Jiang Weiguo said unswervingly, "Even if you crawl, you have to crawl! Let the local governments in northern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and northern Zhejiang come to pick them up, and prepare food, clothing, and medicines to help the refugees and take them out. Timely and effective measures to resettle the refugees! Whoever neglects his duty or takes it lightly in this matter is ignoring human life! I want his head!"

Ma Chaojun nodded: "I understand, I understand!"

On the roads and fields outside Nanjing, the mountains and plains are full of refugees like a flood.

The refugees looked back three times at every step, bid farewell to their hometown with tears, and went to other places in a foreign country.

Before the war, the population of southern Jiangsu exceeded 1400 million, but after the Great Escape, it was only 400 million, a decrease of 1000 million.

At the same time, the hundreds of thousands of national troops assembled in Nanjing also began to retreat, but some chose to stay.

Five days later, on November 11, Chiang Kai-shek's office.

"Wei'er..." Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo, "How many people are there?" Although he was trying to keep calm, he obviously couldn't hold back the complicated thoughts in his heart, and his voice was slightly different. The unruly "leadership calm" seems to have been replaced by something else.

Within five days, all the armies, corps, and divisions in Nanjing received evacuation orders one after another (except for the 77th, 88th, 99th, and 100th divisions).

Jiang Weiguo opened the document in his hand and suppressed the enthusiasm in his heart: "Father, including the 77th, 88th, 99th, and 100th divisions, there are a total of... 520 people left!"
