I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

With great disappointment and anxiety, Ishihara Waner had to swallow his anger and return to the Chinese battlefield.

Wanji Ishihara, who was in an extremely bad mood and strongly opposed the invasion of Nanjing, was absent-minded at the meeting and didn't bother to speak, but in the face of General Matsui's question, he had no choice but to say: "First of all, I think we must make the best preparations before we can Let's go to war..."

"Shi Yuan-kun!" Lieutenant General Jiuyan said calmly, "Before you speak, let me remind you not to digress in your speech. The theme of this meeting is how to win Nanjing, that's all!" Shi Yuan Wan Er has been arguing that Nanjing cannot be fought, and has been running around, repeatedly lobbying various high-level personnel, making people like Lieutenant General Jiuyan who strongly advocated fighting Nanjing feel more and more disgusted with him.

Ishihara Waner had to swallow his anger again: "Nanjing is a strong city, and we will definitely not be able to take it down in a hurry. We must be prepared for a long-term battle. Moreover, Nanjing is not an ordinary city. It can be said that it is the eye of the typhoon on the battlefield of China. , It affects the whole body, so we have to be prepared to fight in the overall situation.

If we really want to attack Nanjing, I personally think that we must first make full preparations, and then try our best to draw the defending enemy troops out of the city. In fact, the two can be launched at the same time!"

"Ishihara-kun, tell me your opinion!" General Matsui admired Ishihara Wanji's strategic mind very much.

Objectively speaking, Ishihara Wanji is an excellent strategist, but he is not quite a tactician and military strategist. Therefore, his tactical conception style is open and closed, and he is good at thinking about tactical issues from a strategic perspective.

Ishihara said with a smile: "Nanjing is the gathering place of the elite and essence of the Chinese army in East China. Naturally, the troops of the Chinese army in the outskirts of Nanjing are currently very weak. Although the Imperial Army suffered a lot on the Shanghai battlefield, its vitality is not damaged. , still has a strong and tough combat power, so..."

"So bypass Nanjing, avoid Nanjing? Launch an attack on northern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and northern Zhejiang?" Lieutenant General Jiuyan sarcastically said, "Mr. Shi Yuan, I have already reminded you not to digress.

Look at you, the moment you opened your mouth, the topic has turned to the so-called 'middle strategy' that you've been peddling so hard! "

"Your Highness, I didn't mean that!" Ishihara Waner held back his unhappiness, "I want to say, cross Nanjing and fight Wuhan!"

"Oh?" General Matsui, Lieutenant General Yanagawa, and Lieutenant General Hata Toshi-six all had their hearts skipped a beat.

"Nonsense!" Lieutenant General Jiuyan said angrily, "Isn't this still changing the soup and not the medicine? I have already said it! Nanjing must be fought! This is the holy will of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The purpose of attacking Wuhan is to attack Nanjing!" Ishihara Waner raised his voice, "I believe that the Chinese army has spent so much money and effort in Nanjing, it must be wishing for us to fight! To hit a wall! To hit a wall! Blood flow! So we purposely shot feints, shot east and west, crossed Nanjing, and concentrated our efforts to attack Wuhan! Everyone, please think about it, the senior Chinese army gave up attacking Nanjing when they saw us, and instead attacked Wuhan, which is essentially the temporary capital of China. Wouldn’t it be disappointing and panicking? The current Chinese defense forces in Wuhan are basically withdrawn from Shanghai and Nanjing. The veterans of the division are tired and difficult to fight again. At the same time, they must be very scarce in terms of weapons, ammunition, and supplies. I believe , As long as two divisions approach the city of Wuhan, it will be enough to plunge Wuhan into a crisis of hanging upside down! At the same time, the imperial army will cross Nanjing along the Yangtze River to fight Wuhan, and the rear transportation line will be exposed to the eyes of the Nanjing Chinese Army. , the Nanjing Chinese Army will definitely take the initiative to attack! We will wait for a while, take the opportunity to counterattack, and eat up the vital forces of the Nanjing Chinese Army one bite at a time! At that time, the initiative is completely in our hands. If the Nanjing Chinese Army does not attack, Wuhan may not be able to Bao, attacking is equivalent to sticking the head out of the tortoise shell to be stabbed! At the same time, the imperial army will send more people to clean up the Yangtze River waterway in Jiangyin, so that the imperial navy fleet can sail to the river section near Nanjing. when…"

"It's too far away!" Lieutenant General Jiu Yan said very displeased, "A fight against Nanjing is a fight against Nanjing, and it's going to Wuhan all at once! The battle area has been expanded several times! Ishihara, I don't think you should look at the map to command the battle , you should hold a globe to command operations, so that it is in line with your 'grand strategic thinking'!" He was blatantly mocking Ishihara Waner.

Ishihara Wan'er couldn't bear it anymore and almost had a fit, General Matsui hastily and quietly grabbed his clothes corner.

Lieutenant General Jiuyan snorted coldly: "This move is simply superfluous, taking off your pants and farting! Shi Yuan, just make it clear. According to your idea, when will you be able to take Nanjing?"

Ishihara smiled sternly: "It will take at least one and a half months in the early stage. After the Jiangyin Waterway is cleaned up and the Nanjing City China Army is lured out and wiped out in large numbers, the siege operation can really start..."

"Ridiculous!" Lieutenant General Hatohiko was completely angry, "During, procrastinating, when will the imperial sun flag fly over the capital of China? The whole world is watching! All Japan is waiting! Including Your Majesty the Emperor! We are all waiting for the good news! We have spent so much time and effort, but have made no progress! Also, if you drag on like this, the Chinese army in Nanjing will be better prepared! Have you ever thought about this?"

Ishihara smiled and said bluntly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the price of rushing for success is heavy losses and nothing!"

"I'm eager for success?" Lieutenant General Jiuyan was furious, "I think you are pretending to be smart! You will miss the opportunity!"

"Ishihara-kun..." General Matsui shook his head and sighed, "The battle of Nanjing really cannot be dragged on. If it drags on for several months, even if Nanjing is captured by the imperial army, the Chinese army will win strategically and politically!"

"Your Excellency, General!" Ishihara Waner said worriedly, "If you are eager for success, you will suffer heavy losses! Could it be that we conquered Nanjing in only one month but paid 30 million casualties? Is such a victory considered a victory? "

"Yes, how to reduce the casualties of the imperial army is also a big problem that cannot be ignored!" Lieutenant General Hata Junliu believed deeply, "If the imperial army suffered too much loss in the Battle of Nanjing, it would be a disastrous victory that outweighed the gain, and it also hit China. People's arms!"

"The empire has established two brigades of the Taiwan Army and three divisions of the North Korean Army in Taiwan and North Korea!" Lieutenant General Yanagawa said, "The Taiwan Army and the North Korean Army can lead the imperial army..."

Lieutenant General Hata Jun-[-] shook his head: "You can't rely too much on them.

Although the Taiwanese army performed well in the Shanghai war, Taiwan has a small population after all, and Taiwan used to be a part of China, so many Taiwanese still recognize China in their hearts; as for the Korean army, although the Korean army has no blood relationship with the Chinese , but the North Korean army is forced to obey the imperial army, fearing that their morale is not high and their combat power is not strong, so the main force of the battle still depends on our local imperial army, only our local imperial army can be loyal and brave!"

"It's all nonsense!" Lieutenant General Jiuyan jumped up and burst into anger, "How can you win the battle if you are afraid of your hands and feet? Now that the imperial army has approached the city of Nanjing, the first thing to do is to attack the city directly! He looked at General Matsui, "Your Excellency, let's go to war immediately! I want to see if Nanjing is really that difficult to fight!"

General Matsui thought over and over again and nodded, no matter how difficult it is to fight Nanjing, he must give it a try.

Chapter 252 Fortified City (2)

When the last train and the last ship left Nanjing, the Japanese attack on Nanjing had officially begun.

In addition to the newly built 3 North Korean divisions and 2 Taiwan mixed brigades that were still being organized or on the way, the Japanese "Central China Front Army" had 13 divisions and 3 field heavy artillery brigades in combat positions.

13个师团和3个重炮兵旅团里，第108、第109、第114师团负责驻防上海以及宁沪间的苏州、无锡、常州等地（同时负责就地“征集”物资），另外10个师团和3个重炮兵旅团则兵分三路，对南京展开大举攻击。

Under the banner of the sun all over the mountains and plains, more than [-] Japanese troops rushed towards Nanjing like a flood.

In the three-way army of the Japanese army, the third army of Heisuke Yanagawa was in charge of the North Road attack. The "North Road Corps (Liuchuan Corps)" went west along the north bank of the Yangtze River. Then cross the Yangtze River at Wujiang Town and Cihu Town in the upper reaches to complete the complete blockade of the Yangtze River transportation line in Nanjing; The task is to capture Si'an, Changxing, and Guangde, directly capture Xuancheng, Wuhu, complete the siege of Nanjing's South Road, and then capture Chunhua Town, Niushou Mountain and other southwestern outposts of Nanjing; as for Lieutenant General Jiuyan of Chaoxiang Palace The Fifth Army assumed the main task of attacking Nanjing. The "Middle Route Corps (Chaoxiang Palace Corps)" went west from Zhenjiang all the way to Qixia Mountain in the northern suburbs of Nanjing, and stormed Tangshan and Longtan Town, the east gate of Nanjing.

This move of the Japanese army is very normal. To attack a city, they must first remove its surrounding strongholds, cut off its access channels, and turn it into an isolated city. , the urban offensive and defensive war has evolved into a battle for the city, which is naturally not conducive to the Japanese army as the attacker.

In fact, when the Japanese army devoured the stronghold towns around Nanjing, the Chinese army did not put up too much resistance, and the national army in the city would not go out to fight.

In the first day, the Japanese army completed the encirclement of Nanjing smoothly.

Located in the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters of the Nanjing Ministry of Railways Building, Tang Shengzhi smiled and took a piece of beautifully framed paper and handed it to Jiang Weiguo who rushed over: "Jianhao, take a look!"

Jiang Weiguo took it over and browsed it, and couldn't help laughing: "The letter of persuasion?"

Tang Shengzhi nodded: "Well, Matsui Iwane just sent someone to deliver it!"

This "Surrender Advice" written by Matsui Iwane himself in small letters with a brush pen said:

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the imperial army of the Japanese Empire have swept across the south of the Yangtze River with the force of plowing the ground and sweeping holes, and Nanjing is also surrounded by the imperial army.

The general trend of the war situation is already very clear, Nanjing's resistance is like a mantis against a cart, and a mayfly shaking a tree is really futile.

The land of Jiangning is the ancient capital of Jinling, where the essence of East Asian culture lies. Although the imperial army of the Japanese Empire was extremely fierce and forgiving to those who resisted, it treated innocent people and the Chinese army with no hostility. , As for the resort of East Asian culture, the imperial army still has the sincerity and enthusiasm to cherish and protect it.

If the noble army wants to fight bravely, not only will they die without a place to die, but it will also destroy the cultural accumulation of Nanjing for thousands of years, and the construction of ten years of painstaking efforts will also be destroyed.

Therefore, on behalf of the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire, this Commander offers friendly advice to your army, hoping to open the city of Nanjing peacefully before [-]:[-] on the night of December [-]st in accordance with peaceful steps. The imperial army will never make it difficult for your army and Nanjing People, strictly abide by the spirit of "Great East Asia Co-prosperity" and treat Nanjing and the people of Nanjing well. Your army can lay down their weapons or withdraw from Nanjing safely to complete the peaceful handover of Nanjing city.

If your army is stubborn, determined to overestimate its capabilities, and resist the imperial army's volleying front, once the imperial army enters Nanjing, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city, and your army will also be to blame for it, and all the bones in the grave will be destroyed.

General Matsui Iwane, Commander-in-Chief of the Central China Front Army of the Imperial Japanese Army

After reading it, Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "This old devil Matsui Iwane's Chinese skills are really good! The calligraphy is also good!"

"Is this person a 'China hand' after all?" Tang Shengzhi also laughed, "Jianhao, how do we reply?"

"Reply? Why do you want to reply?" Jiang Weiguo shrugged, "Don't pay attention to him! Paying attention to him is to think highly of him!"

"No, I have to reply!" Tang Shengzhi pointed to the outside of the headquarters rather impatiently, and Jiang Weiguo saw seven or eight ordinary people with panic-stricken expressions waiting outside.

"What's going on?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"They are ordinary people in Zhenjiang!" Tang Shengzhi said, "The Japanese army asked them to send us a letter of persuasion to surrender, and at the same time detained their family members. If they don't return on time, their family members will be murdered by the Japanese army!"

Jiang Weiguo felt a wave of anger rising straight to his chest: "Mr. Tang, leave this matter to you!"

Tang Shengzhi nodded, and then he wrote a reply letter. The wording was neither humble nor overbearing, and not too harsh. This was to prevent the Japanese army from killing these innocent people in a fit of anger:

Reply to General Matsui, if our Chinese army is approaching the city of Tokyo, General Matsui and others will fight to the death. As soldiers, you should smash your bones to defend the country, the capital, and the emperor. The same is true for me, the leader of our country, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, is still in Nanjing, and I have no choice but to do my duty as a soldier. The two armies are at war, and each is the master. I and all the soldiers of the Nanjing Army welcome General Matsui and others to come here uninvited. lift.

General Tang Shengzhi, Deputy Commander of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters of the Republic of China

After writing the reply letter and handing it over to the people who sent the letter, Tang Shengzhi remembered something and asked Jiang Weiguo: "Where is the chairman?"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Still resting in the hut!" Tang Shengzhi didn't know that the "Chiang Kai-shek" in Nanjing was just a stand-in.

Tang Shengzhi nodded and said with great emotion: "Unexpectedly, the chairman of the committee did what he said, and has not left Nanjing until now. Shengzhi is terrified, and dare not live up to the unprecedented trust of the chairman!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled again: "Mr. Tang, I will leave this to you. My father is going to give a radio speech to all the soldiers of the Nanjing Army. I will go over there to help!"

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Tang Shengzhi nodded repeatedly.

After bidding farewell to Tang Shengzhi, Jiang Weiguo walked out of the headquarters, and Liu Wugou was waiting outside. She was the deputy editor-in-chief of "Chinese Heroes Daily", and the editor-in-chief was Lin Gengbai.

Liu Wugou is a talented woman, and Lin Gengbai is a great wit. He founded the semi-monthly "Changfeng" in Shanghai in his early years, so he has experience in running newspapers and magazines. Letting these two people in charge of "China Heroes Daily" is really a talent.

After the fall of Shanghai and even southern Jiangsu, "Shenbao", the leading Chinese newspaper founded in Shanghai, had to withdraw to Wuhan, Chongqing and other places. As for newspapers such as "Ta Kung Pao", the situation was similar. Thousands of small and medium-sized newspapers relying on their pens for their living retreated from Shanghai all the way to the west, hundreds of them poured into Nanjing, and there were hundreds of people who were willing to stay in Nanjing. Jiang Weiguo just organized these people and created "China Hero News", the general newspaper office is in Nanjing.

Today is the official founding day of the "Chinese Hero News", and the time is completely synchronized with the Battle of Nanjing.

Liu Wugou is both an associate editor and a reporter. After all, relying on her "relationship with Jiang Weiguo", she will definitely be able to interview more, more vivid, and more insider news. In fact, she is purely around Jiang Weiguo all day long. , regarded Jiang Weiguo as an inexhaustible "news gold mine".

"Reporter Liu, get in the car! Start your first interview!" Jiang Weiguo waved to Liu Wugou who was waiting for him.

"Okay!" Liu Wugou looked radiant, she was obviously enjoying this new job.

"And me!" Fang Bingbing, who came with Liu Wugou, seemed even more excited.

"Welcome, welcome!" Jiang Weiguo was very polite.

Jiang Weiguo is the "leader" at any rate, he will definitely not drive the car himself, and he will certainly not sit in the co-pilot (in case of an assassination, the co-pilot position is very dangerous), so the car looks like this: Sun Tao drives, Liu Wugou Sitting in the co-pilot, Jiang Weiguo sat in the middle of the back row, Yang Mei sat on his left, and Fang Bingbing sat on his right.

From the Garrison Headquarters to the Qilu, Jiang Weiguo felt "painful and painful but secretly enjoying it" in just 15 minutes, because Fang Bingbing had been "continuously making small movements", and the three of them sat in the back seat of the car. It's not particularly crowded, but Fang Bingbing obviously sticks to Jiang Weiguo's body on purpose, and keeps "rubbing" Jiang Weiguo with a soft place on his body "intentionally or unintentionally", which makes Jiang Weiguo feel distracted.

The first time Jiang Weiguo met Fang Bingbing, he didn't look too carefully, but this time he saw clearly. This woman is not like a reporter, but a "prostitute", but she does have "strong capital" in this regard, and her figure Tall and hot enough to be an underwear model, with tall and proud twin peaks (Jiang Weiguo secretly peeked and thought "bigger than bayberry"), standard oval face, watery eyes, straight nose bridge, Her eyebrows are like willows, and she has a well-deserved "angel face, devil figure", with a waved hairstyle of a trendy woman in the Republic of China period, just like the jade ink in the later movie "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", with white legs It doesn't matter if it's too long, but she still wears a tight cheongsam with slits on both sides reaching to the thighs, so that the beautiful curves of the bumps and ups and downs are fully visible, making her even more enchanting, charming, sexy and seductive.

"Second son, you are amazing..." Fang Bingbing's face was full of exaggerated admiration similar to that of later generations of brainless fans when they saw idols, and his tone was exactly like that of the female star surnamed Lin in later generations, "You are the son of the chairman of the committee. , actually went to the front line in person, you are so amazing..."

"Where! Where! Ms. Fang has won the award..." Jiang Weiguo was serious but secretly proud, "There are many women who worship Lao Tzu, and there are also many beautiful women, but it is really the first woman who worships Lao Tzu and is so beautiful This is the first time I met..." While he was enjoying this kind of vanity that made him intoxicated, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yang Mei sitting on the other side of him staring at him and Fang Bingbing with a dark face, and he was immediately frightened. I had to put away the unhealthy thoughts in my head in a hurry, and pretended to be calm.

"Second son, can you tell me why you went to the battlefield without hesitation?" Fang Bingbing looked at Jiang Weiguo with an ambiguous look that made Jiang Weiguo dare not look at him, and took out the paper and pen.

"Well...the national crisis is at the top of the head, everyone is responsible..." Jiang Weiguo was a little incoherent, and there is no need to say more about the reason.

At this moment, a loud "boom" exploded like a thunderbolt 30 meters away in front of the car, followed by a roaring fireball.

Sun Tao cursed and hurriedly braked. Several people in the car slammed forward under the action of inertia. Fang Bingbing suddenly fell on Jiang Weiguo, and Yang Mei stopped on Jiang Weiguo. The slight sting from being pricked by the needle, and a few drops of warm liquid fell on his neck. When he recovered from his dizziness, he was surprised to see Yang Mei holding Fang Bingbing's pen in her right hand. The palm of his hand was stabbed and bleeding, and the tip of the pen scratched Jiang Weiguo's neck lightly.

"Be careful!" Yang Mei glared at Fang Bingbing.

Fang Bingbing was so frightened that her face turned pale: "I... I didn't know that I would suddenly brake..."

"Is your hand okay?" Jiang Weiguo grabbed Yang Mei's hand distressedly, "Old Sun, get the medicine box!"

"Brother Wei! Look ahead!" Sun Tao shouted anxiously, his tone full of extreme anxiety and fear.

Jiang Weiguo and the others looked forward together, and they were all taken aback immediately, because the explosion just now was in the rest hut, and the dense gunshots came immediately.

"Don't move!" "Stop!" A large number of bodyguards ran and shouted in the streets and alleys near Qilu, and fired at the same time, obviously chasing someone.

"Chairman, he..." Sun Tao hurriedly drew his guns and got out of the car. Yang Mei and Jiang Weiguo also drew their guns and got out of the car. The guards protecting Jiang Weiguo formed an airtight human wall around Jiang Weiguo. The guards loaded dozens of submachine guns together. , Dozens of pairs of eyes looked around vigilantly like eagles up and down.

Jiang Weiguo then saw the head of the guard, Wang Shihe, leading a group of guards striding out of the retreat with a livid face.

"Cousin!" Jiang Weiguo ran forward, "What's going on?"
