I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"But..." Sun Tao was very embarrassed, he was so embarrassed every time, and he was also very reluctant. After all, Jiang Weiguo and Yang Mei's posture was quite ambiguous, with a man on top of a woman, and it was difficult for people not to think of anything.

"Really get out of the way!" Yang Mei was a little anxious, then looked at Jiang Weiguo, and said something in a low voice.

"What?" Jiang Weiguo didn't come back to his senses, because the engine roar of the Japanese bomber fleet in the night sky came in a short time, and the breathtaking mechanical sound was overwhelmed by the air waves stirred up by the spiral blades. And Luo, even though he was hiding in the air-raid shelter, Jiang Weiguo still felt like a strong wind was blowing outside.

There is almost no gap, and the "咻..." falling sound of heavy objects piercing the air one after another is extremely harsh and more and more sharply falling from the sky amidst the wind.

The Japanese bomber fleet can be described as unscrupulous, with their wings flying almost close to the ground. Without the threat of the Chinese Air Force's bf-109 fleet, the Japanese aircraft naturally come and go freely, as if entering an uninhabited territory.

In an instant, the Nanjing Army's position outside Tangshan Town was immediately shaken by the fireballs blooming everywhere. The ground was almost full of wind and thunder, lightning and thunder, and countless explosive fireballs converged into black and red raging waves. With a hurricane-like shock wave, it swept in all directions, setting off a sandstorm-like skyrocket of dust and a large amount of crushed stone and cement blocks.

"Fuck! There are so many devil bombers..." Jiang Weiguo was terrified. He felt as if a major earthquake had occurred in Tangshan Town, and the whole earth was shaking violently and madly. The constant shock waves surged through the soil layer on the ground, shaking him violently.

Although he was mentally prepared, Jiang Weiguo was still caught off guard. This was the first time he personally experienced the indiscriminate bombing of dozens of Japanese bombers. He subconsciously hugged Yangmei tightly. They kissed mouth to mouth, but there was no romance at all, because their mouths were full of blood, their lips were smashed by their teeth, and at the same time, their internal organs seemed to be shaking up and down in a sieve, and their internal organs and bones were almost shaking. It fell apart.

Waves of nausea flooded Jiang Weiguo's chest overwhelmingly. This huge explosion made his ears buzzing and tinnitus. Venus was flying in front of his eyes, and his ears were completely flooded by the sound of the explosion. No other sound could be heard, and the smell of dust and gunpowder smoke pouring into the shelter was suffocating.

Jiang Weiguo's eyes almost went black, and he felt the world turned upside down and the world was spinning, and he almost passed out, but more intense shock waves followed.

In the Japanese-controlled area far away from Tangshan Town, Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto, Commander of the 6th Regiment of the 13th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army, and Colonel Ide Tatsuo, Captain of the 14th Regiment of the Japanese Army, exchanged tacit glances with each other. Then they pulled out their sabers all at once, and howled like wolves, ordering: "All aim at the position of the Chinese army in Tangshan Town! Break away!"

More than 250 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces of the Japanese army roared out like a volcanic fire, including more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces with a diameter of up to 240mm that had just been transported to the Nanjing battlefield.

The Japanese army has an almost overwhelming advantage over the Chinese army in the firepower of heavy weapons with artillery as the backbone. The Japanese artillery unit equipped with more than 400 heavy artillery pieces and thousands of other artillery pieces gives the Japanese army extremely powerful heavy firepower on the Chinese battlefield. , the powerful power of the artillery known as the "God of War" is by no means comparable to how many firearms are added, and the firepower advantage it brings in war is beyond the reach of firearms.

The artillery group and the aircraft group, the joint firepower attack can be called overwhelming.

Lieutenant General Okamura very much admired Napoleon's clear statement of war: "The principle of conducting a war is basically the same as that of conducting a siege. Firepower must be concentrated on one point, and a gap must be opened. Once the overall stability of the enemy is destroyed , the next task is to completely defeat it!" Therefore, Lieutenant General Okamura's military style is "stability while hiding strangeness". He is good at risky chess, but he does not make the mistake of adventurism. There will be a surprise attack suddenly, much like the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet Yamamoto 56 who attacked Pearl Harbor in the original history.

It was Lieutenant General Okamura who advocated the concentration of so many heavy artillery and the addition of the bomber fleet in order to inflict maximum firepower on the Chinese army.

"Nanjing City is a walnut made of copper and iron. Hitting it with a hammer will only deform it and not smash it. You should pierce it with a steel needle and then smash it!" Lieutenant General Okamura said at the pre-war meeting Said so.

"Instead of blooming in all directions, it is better to make breakthroughs in key points!"

It has to be admitted that the defense line of the Nanjing Army in Tangshan Town was almost collapsed by the bombardment of the Japanese army.

For a moment, Jiang Weiguo really thought that he was going to die here, and when he managed to recover, he felt as if he had passed away.

The bombardment by the Japanese army had ended. Jiang Weiguo saw that the outside was devastated and beyond recognition. The scale-like bomb craters were densely intertwined layer upon layer on the position. There were shocking scenes everywhere. Thousands of officers and soldiers died unexpectedly, some of them were killed. Most of them died from the shock wave, and hundreds of officers and soldiers swayed blankly like lonely ghosts, and even danced, cried and laughed, because the brain tissue was injured by the shock wave. Become a fool or an idiot.

"Get ready to fight!" Rao Guohua, Ji Zhangjian and other officers shouted hoarsely.

The Japanese shouts of killing like a group of demons have already sounded. Accompanied by the mortar shells, grenade shells, and grenades, more than 1 Japanese soldiers gathered in the trenches violently rose together. Under the cover of grenades, they rushed up while frantically throwing grenades. In less than a minute, they completely rushed into the first trench of Tangshan Town, which had been reduced to ruins, like a tide over the barrage.

Immediately afterwards, thunderbolts exploded at the feet of the Japanese army. The landmines that were not detonated during the shelling and bombing were stepped on by the Japanese army one after another. Howling ghosts and howling wolves.

The officers and soldiers of the defenders, who were dizzy during the Japanese bombardment, quickly launched a counterattack. Bullets like raindrops and shells like a hail of shells smashed at the Japanese army angrily. Soon, a reinforced regiment set foot on the defensive line, and more Japanese troops poured up through the trenches.

"Fill it in! Fill it in quickly! Completely crush the defense line of the Chinese army!" The Japanese officers who supervised the battle all waved their sabers hysterically.

The obedient Japanese army rushed forward wave after wave, not only quickly occupying the first trench, but also more Japanese troops rushing into the second trench in the midst of landmine explosions.

The officers and soldiers of the two armies engaged in a life-and-death fight amidst the roars of madness, shooting with guns, stabbing with bayonets, smashing with helmets, bombing with grenades, hitting with fists, and biting with teeth. The battle entered a white-hot state from the very beginning. , The second trench quickly bled.

"Detonate! Detonate quickly!" The engineer officer of the defenders shouted hoarsely.

In a series of thunderbolts, hundreds of electronically controlled landmines were detonated, which immediately exploded hundreds of gasoline barrels poured into the first trench through the traffic trench, and then ignited a large amount of wood in the first trench.

The fire was raging on the battlefield, screaming like ghosts, a large number of Japanese soldiers were burned and rolled all over the ground, and more Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death rushed through the fire wall of the minefield with bayonets in their hands, stepped on the corpses of their accomplices, Continue to charge while the blood of your allies is flying or your skin is scorched.

The whole position suddenly crumbled.

"Hold it! Hold it!" Rao Guohua, Ji Zhangjian and other officers took the lead in charging red-eyed.

The fighting spirit of the Nanjing Army will never lose to the Japanese Army. Although the situation is close to collapse, none of the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle escaped, and all went to the front line under the leadership of the officers.

"Brother Jianhao!" Hu Lian panted and ran to Jiang Weiguo, "Go away! This place may collapse! Damn it! I really didn't expect the Japanese army to fire so fiercely! I didn't even expect that the Japanese army would dispatch a large number of bombers at night Carry out precise bombing! We were so caught off guard! By the way, quickly call in reinforcements!"

Jiang Weiguo knew that this was not the time to pretend to be a hero, so he nodded, "Take care of yourself!" He hurriedly left Tangshan Town, staggering while running while suddenly remembering a very important thing.

"You just said..." Jiang Weiguo turned his head and stared at Yang Mei with wide eyes, "Are you pregnant?"

Yang Mei nodded while wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Oh my god!" Jiang Weiguo was overjoyed, he hurriedly supported Yang Mei, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Come, come, I will carry you, oh, I can't carry it..." He was so happy that he was at a loss.

Yang Mei spat out a mouthful of bloody spittle and shook off Jiang Weiguo's hand: "You should do your business first!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Jiang Weiguo hurriedly put his thoughts on the current battle. He looked at Yi Shuihan beside him, "Send a telegram to Song Xilian! Send another brigade! Hurry up! Damn! Tangshan Town wants I can't hold it anymore! It's so hot! How did the devil's fleet manage to bomb accurately at night? Could it be that Little Japan has invented the night vision device?"

On the battlefield of Tangshan Town, Rao Guohua, Ji Zhangjian and other generals of the Nanjing Army were all burned, because the Japanese army was coming with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops, and our own troops were also filling in one after another like a stormy sea. At the intersection, lightning, thunder, and bloody wind, the brothers fought very well, but this kind of battle was purely desperate, and the casualties on both sides were one to one. Obviously it was not worthwhile for the Nanjing Army, but the battle lines were already entangled. It is impossible to withdraw the troops. Once they retreat, the Japanese army will immediately pursue the victory and the position will completely collapse.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Okamura and other Japanese generals were all in a hurry. Two regiments had already filled in, but they were still on par with the Nanjing Army and failed to break through the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop. Continue to fill in, but the other party also came with a brigade of reinforcements.

"It seems that we can only start a backup plan!" General Matsui put down the binoculars and looked at Lieutenant General Okamura, "You know that the imperial army has besieged Nanjing for nearly half a month, with huge losses but no results. The situation in the world is very unfavorable to the empire, Tokyo is very angry, and even His Majesty the Emperor is quite critical.

In the battle tonight, we invested a lot of military power and consumed countless materials. If we still can't achieve a breakthrough result, the consequences... will be very serious! "There is a lot of meaning in his words.

Lieutenant General Okamura was a little anxious, and he hurriedly argued: "Your Excellency, General! The backup plan is to attack Zijin Mountain. Use it now. Although you can break through Tangshan Town, it will be difficult to attack Zijin Mountain in the future!"

"Okamura-kun, I understand you, but I really can't delay any longer!" General Matsui sighed, "Start it!"

Chapter 263 War City (3)

"Brothers! Let's fight!" Hu Lian yelled profusely with sweat, and threw himself into the fight with a submachine gun in his hand.

Of course, Hu Lian didn’t just know how to “fight to the end”. He was very intelligent. The battle in Tangshan Town was already a melee without distinction between the enemy and the enemy. His 813 regiment was involved in the melee vortex.

Under the command of Hu Lian, the officers and soldiers of the 813th regiment formed a company-level commando team with a clear division of labor. In the team, the front row members armed with automatic firearms such as submachine guns or light machine guns were responsible for opening the way, and the rear row members only cared about passing grenades over the front. Throwing them constantly from the top of their heads is very effective, and Hu Lian strictly ordered the officers and soldiers of the regiment not to enter the melee circle, only to kill and block the Japanese army outside the circle, and at the same time, they are not allowed to fight alone. It not only effectively reinforces friendly forces, but also prevents the regiment from being consumed.

"Tuan Zuo! Look!" Several guards who were closely protecting Hu Lian shouted in amazement and went straight to the distance outside the town.

Hu Lian hurriedly raised his eyes to look around, and he saw a row of dense car light beams whizzing towards with a rumbling sound.

Just at the first glance, Hu Lian understood.

Tanks, a large number of Japanese tanks, gathered into an armored group, and rushed towards Tangshan Town overwhelmingly.

When it comes to strategy, Kanji Ishihara is the leader in the Japanese army, and Neiji Okamura is the leader in the Japanese army when it comes to tactics.

Jiang Weiguo is the clearest about this. After all, Okamura Ningji is only a lieutenant general commander of the Japanese army at this time. His position is not low, but he is not particularly high. People have not noticed Neiji Okamura, the "Commander-in-Chief of the China Expeditionary Army" who would eventually lead an army of millions invading China in the original history. Only Jiang Weiguo really knows Neiji Okamura's ability.

How good is Neiji Okamura tactically?The Battle of Nanchang in the original history is the best proof of this point.

In the battle of Nanchang, the Chinese army had 4 group armies, more than 20 troops, and there were three large rivers that could serve as natural barriers to defend Nanchang. How did Okamura Ningcheng attack the city?He adopted two major measures. One was to re-use the 101st and 106th Divisions, the two previously despised and belittled troops, as the main force. The battle finally lived up to expectations and completed the task; the second is to concentrate more than 3 heavy artillery pieces, more than 250 tanks, and more than 130 aircraft on the breakthrough that is only 100 kilometers wide to make key breakthroughs, and finally captured Nanchang City in only seven days.

You know, this kind of tactic is actually a blitz, and Okamura Ningji played a blitz half a year earlier than Germany. This alone is enough for Okamura Ningji to rank among the famous players.

In the battle of Nanchang, because of Okamura Ningji's command, the Japanese army was in full swing and won a complete victory. The national army lost ground and was defeated. More than 2200 Japanese soldiers died in this battle, and the national army killed and injured more than 5.2 people, of which more than 4.3 died people.

The data can be described as appalling. First, the death ratio of Chinese and Japanese soldiers is as high as 19 to 1; second, Chinese soldiers accounted for 82.7% of the total casualties. This shows how poor the Chinese military’s logistical support and medical care are.

The tank was invented by the British during the last world war. The reason why it was invented was naturally the result of "war is the catalyst of technology".

During the last World War, the German army and the British and French allied forces dug trenches and fortifications everywhere on the battlefields of Western Europe. Both sides used trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun groups to form defensive positions against each other, while racking their brains to break through each other. As a result, the Germans used gas bombs on a large scale, invented the Paris Cannon, and the British invented the tank.

How to use the tank?This tests the tactical acumen of military strategists from various countries.

At this time, most countries mixed tanks with infantry and used tanks as mobile firepower bunkers to assist infantry. Blitz.

In the original history, although Guderian was the "father of blitzkrieg", he can only be said to be the second one, because the first one was Okamura Neiji, who was in actual combat half a year earlier than Guderian Using blitzkrieg, of course, Japan's national strength and military strength are far inferior to Germany, so the Japanese army cannot have as many and as strong tanks as Germany, so Okamura Ningji can only play small blitzkrieg, and Okamura Ning This time's blitz thinking is not as mature and perfect as Guderian, but I have to admit that he is indeed very powerful.

The Nanjing Army used a large number of trenches, barbed wire, mine arrays, and machine gun groups to form an indestructible defensive front outside Nanjing City. In fact, this is a replica of the European battlefield of the last World War. During the last world war, the British, French and German armies, so the use of this "20-year-outdated tactic" by the Nanjing army can still make the Japanese army difficult and stagnant.

In order to decipher this tactic of the Nanjing Army, Lieutenant General Okamura racked his brains to repeatedly study the European battlefield during the last World War. After all, the two are too similar. During the thinking process, he received two major inspirations. One is The tank breakthrough tactics used by the British during the last World War, and the second is the "small blitz" that Jiang Weiguo once played on the Pingjin battlefield and the Songhu battlefield.

Jiang Weiguo brought various intricate "butterfly effects" to this time and space, such as blitzkrieg. At this time, Jiang Weiguo was the first to engage in blitzkrieg in the world. A large number of German tanks concentrated into a mechanized assault force to attack the Japanese army fiercely. His most common method was to use tank groups to raid the positions of the Japanese artillery groups. He also used this tactic to destroy the division headquarters of the 101st Division. Naturally, As a tactical expert, Lieutenant General Okamura inevitably and extremely keenly noticed Jiang Weiguo's "innovative tactics", and then carried out "teaching barbarians to use their skills to control barbarians".

Lieutenant General Okamura's tactics were: Facing the Nanjing Army's trench defense line, the Japanese army concentrated a large number of aircraft, artillery, and tanks at the breakthrough point. The infantry made a breakthrough.

Why can't the "human sea tactics" of the Japanese infantry crowd break through the defense line of the Nanjing Army?Because the close-combat firepower of the Nanjing Army was too strong, the Japanese infantry who rushed up were killed all over the mountains and fields like cutting wheat. Although the Japanese artillery group was powerful, the trench fortifications of the Nanjing Army could effectively defend against shelling and air raids. Therefore, the Japanese tanks rushed up in a swarm, relying on their own armor to block the melee firepower of the Nanjing Army, suppressing the Nanjing Army with tank guns and tank machine guns, and the Japanese infantry crowd following the tank group took advantage of the situation to break through.

Lieutenant General Okamura's "mechanized breakthrough tactic" will definitely be very effective, but it cannot be used frequently for two reasons. One is that it can catch the Nanjing army by surprise when used for the first time, but it will not have this effect when used again. The Zijin Mountain position is the city of Nanjing. The key core, the Tangshan Town position is only an extension of Nanjing City. The former is far more important than the latter. Taking Zijin Mountain is equivalent to winning Nanjing City. If it is used, it will definitely not be able to do so; second, the war resources consumed by this tactic are too large.

Although Japan is known as a great power and can bully China, its comprehensive national strength and overall military strength are not as good as those of Western powers. It is true that the Japanese army does not have such a strong family capital when it comes out with hundreds of tanks at once. What's more, Lieutenant General Okamura In the original idea, the Japanese tank group should use Type 89 tanks (13 tons) as the main force, and Type 94 tanks (3.4 tons) are not eligible to participate in the battle (in the original historical battle of Nanchang, two-thirds of the tanks invested by the Japanese army It is a Type 89 tank, because Lieutenant General Okamura knows that the Type 94 is simply iron garbage).

"What? You want 200 chariots? And 150 of them must be Type 89 chariots?" Before the Battle of Nanjing, after listening to Lieutenant General Okamura's tactical concept, General Matsui felt incredible at first, and then shook his head with a wry smile. , "Okamura-kun, you have such a big appetite!"

At this time, the Japanese army only had more than 1000 tanks (this data has been deducted from those that were consumed in the war, mainly destroyed by Jiang Weiguo's troops), and most of them were small tanks or old-fashioned tanks (the Japanese army accumulated a total of Owned and produced 4500 to 5000 tanks, the highest output was 1942 in 1300, and the tank output in 1937 was only 300).

Tanks are the "baby bumps" of the Japanese army, especially the Type 89 tanks. After entering the battlefield, each Type 89 tank has at least one squadron of infantry to carry out "coordinated operations". In fact, it is dedicated to protecting this tank. The Japanese army Contrary to the armies of other great powers, the armies of other great powers are "tanks protecting infantry", while the Japanese army is "infantry protecting tanks".

After all, for Japan, a small and resource-poor island country, a big guy with a high cost and a weight of more than ten tons is far more important than the lives of a dozen or even dozens of "hot-blooded soldiers". , It’s just adding some more tablets in the Yasukuni Shrine. It’s much more troublesome to rebuild a tank after losing one.

This concept of treating grassroots officers and soldiers as war consumables has long been a tacit "hidden rule" among the top Japanese military.

Lieutenant General Okamura actually wanted 150 Type 89 tanks at once, which had to be unacceptable to General Matsui.

At this time, the Japanese tanks were divided into two parts, about three-fifths were placed in the Northeast to guard against the Soviet Union, and two-fifths were put into the Chinese battlefield inside the pass.

"Your Excellency, General!" Lieutenant General Okamura eagerly said, "I have repeatedly studied the defense lines of the Nanjing Army, and their defense lines are exactly the same as the trench positions on the European battlefield during the last World War. Back then, the British mainly relied on tanks to break through. The trench positions of the Germans and the current imperial army are the same, and they need to be strengthened.

Your Excellency, if the Imperial Army wants to break through the Nanjing Army's trench defenses, it must concentrate, mass, and densely invest in chariot troops. Two hundred chariots are actually very few!In addition, you also know that the Type [-] tanks of the imperial army are too fragile, and the machine guns of the Nanjing Army can penetrate them, so the Type [-] tanks with stronger armor and stronger firepower must be used! "

General Matsui smiled wryly again: "Mr. Okamura, you have to understand that you are a Japanese soldier, not a Western soldier. What you do must conform to Japan's national conditions!"

Lieutenant General Okamura could of course hear the implication of General Matsui's words: Although Japan is known as a great power, it has a weak foundation and is strong outside but capable in the middle. The war resources of the Japanese Army are becoming more and more stretched, how can they afford such luxurious tank cluster tactics.

"Your Excellency, that's the case, but if you don't do anything, the imperial army really can't break through the defense line of the Nanjing Army!" Lieutenant General Okamura's attitude is very firm, "The Anglo-French coalition forces and the German army faced each other on the European battlefield for more than two years. , Could it be that the emperor's army has to confront the Nanjing army for so long on the Nanjing battlefield?"

Although General Matsui is not very proficient in armored warfare, as an expert in fortified warfare, he is still "knowledgeable" in this area, so he understands the importance of this tactic of Lieutenant General Okamura, so despite the great difficulty, he still does his best They are looking for tanks, artillery, and aircraft that can meet the requirements of Lieutenant General Okamura from Tokyo, but the result will definitely not be [-]% fulfilled.

The number of Japanese tanks transported to the Nanjing battlefield reached more than 170, which basically satisfied Lieutenant General Okamura in terms of quantity, but disappointed Lieutenant General Okamura in terms of quality. Only less than fifty were Type 89 tanks, and the rest were They are small tanks or old tanks, most of which are the Type 94 that Admiral Okamura avoids.

"What's the use of getting so many Type 94s? Is it just a fake?" Lieutenant General Okamura was indignant.
