I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The two took out pens and wrote in their respective palms, then raised them together, and immediately looked at each other and smiled.

"Military teacher, we are really heroes who see the same thing!" Jiang Weiguo boasted, and he was ashamed while praising Xiao Yao, because his method was plagiarized.

Half an hour later, in the basement conference hall of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters.

Tang Shengzhi, Xiao Shanling, Huang Wei, Song Xilian, Li Yutang and others who were hastily summoned by Jiang Weiguo looked at the radiant Jiang Weiguo in bewilderment.

"Mr. Tang, everyone!" Jiang Weiguo said energetically, "New Year's Day is coming soon! At this moment of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new, we should hold a major event to celebrate! First, it can boost morale and the morale of the army, and second, it can show our strength. The Nanjing Army defied hardships and dangers, despised the ambitions of the Japanese invaders, and showed the mighty military appearance of our Nanjing Army, which can greatly humiliate the Japanese, correct the international audience, and expand the international influence of the Battle of Nanjing!"

Tang Shengzhi and the others were not delighted or surprised, but had a faint sense of "premonition", because Jiang Weiguo is best at coming up with all kinds of "ghost ideas" to torment the dead.

"Jianhao..." Tang Shengzhi asked cautiously, "Do you want to..."

"Military parade!" Jiang Weiguo said proudly, "On New Year's Day, we will hold a military parade in Nanjing!"

"What?" Tang Shengzhi and others were astonished and couldn't believe it.

"That's right!" Jiang Weiguo became more and more arrogant, "A military parade! A military parade in Nanjing!"

"This..." Tang Shengzhi and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, tongue-tied, because Jiang Weiguo's idea was so incredible that they couldn't help but feel their brains couldn't function.

"Nanjing is the front line, and it is the capital of our country. However, the most important thing is that this is the front line!" Jiang Weiguo's eyes were bright and impassioned, "The Japanese surrounded Nanjing, and we started a bloody battle with the Japanese in Nanjing. Logically, Nanjing is The situation is precarious, but we have chosen to hold a military parade in Nanjing! The significance of this act and the positive impact it brings in all aspects, Mr. Tang, everyone, you should be able to figure it out, right?"

Tang Shengzhi and others hurriedly and laboriously turned their heads.

"Great idea!" Li Yutang was the first to agree, "The enemy army is approaching the city, and our army is still parading in a mighty manner, how magnificent it is!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Jianhao, your idea is really ingenious!" Huang Wei also agreed, "But, can it be carried out? Is the objective condition allowed? The troops are fighting against the Japanese army on various battlefields, how can they go back to the city for a military parade? Also, the Japanese will definitely sabotage, in case..."

"These are not problems!" Jiang Weiguo said firmly, "At present, on the Nanjing battlefield, our army is not very tense. It is more than enough to deploy thousands of people to participate in the military parade. As for the Japanese sabotage, it is nothing more than air raids and shelling. Without the Japanese, what about air strikes? Japanese planes dare not dispatch during the day. Then we will ask the Air Force to step up its guard and dispatch a large number of fighter jets to protect the parade site and form a mighty and majestic air formation. Are you bombarding Japan? Human artillery units dare not fire during the day.

As long as the preparations are adequate, the deployment is proper, and the arrangements are thorough, this military parade can still be a success!"

Huang Wei asked suspiciously: "There are only five days before New Year's Day, can we prepare so many equipment? For example, the officers and soldiers participating in the military parade must always put on new military uniforms? It’s not good-looking!” His thinking was indeed very old-fashioned.

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Master, what about the tattered uniforms? This is a military parade on the battlefield, not a performance in peacetime.

Brothers, the military uniforms are tattered, very good, this just shows the true side of our army fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.

The troops participating in the military parade drove back from the line of fire, and then returned to the line of fire after the parade, how majestic!How inspiring! "

Xiao Shanling, Huang Wei, Li Yutang, Song Xilian and others all nodded, apparently convinced.

"Does the chairman agree?" Tang Shengzhi finally asked.

"Leave this to me!" Jiang Weiguo was full of confidence. He was sure of persuading Chiang Kai-shek. Far.

The meeting finally decided that the preparations for the military parade would be handed over to Xiao Shan Ling, and Jiang Weiguo would be in charge of "guiding".

Next, Jiang Weiguo, Tang Shengzhi and others held meetings repeatedly to discuss how to deal with the two major trump cards of the Japanese army, one was the Japanese army's tunnels, and the other was the Japanese army's fleet.

The method to deal with the Japanese army's tunnels is not complicated, and it is the only one. That is to use the tunnels to deal with the tunnels, try to find out the routes of the Japanese army's tunnels, and then prescribe the right medicine. As for the Japanese army's fleet, it is indeed a very serious threat and extremely difficult to deal with.

In this regard, Xiao Yao put forward an idea of ​​"group brainstorming and teamwork", which is to inform the mid-level and grass-roots officers of the difficult problems that have caused the command to be overwhelmed, and mobilize the majority of mid-level and grass-roots officers to find a solution together, so that more people can use their brains and increase their income. The probability of the solution, and secondly, more talents can be trained and discovered.

After a while, the Japanese fleet will pass through Jiangyin and sail to the vicinity of Nanjing to bombard us. What should we do?

The city of Nanjing is impenetrable, and the Japanese army will not be able to attack it for a long time. They will definitely use special methods. So, what kind of methods will the Japanese army use? (The more ingenious the better, according to the inhuman nature of the Japanese, the more inhuman their methods are, the more reasonable)

Those who come up with a good solution will be rewarded heavily.

The Garrison Headquarters notified the order to all the soldiers and civilians in Nanjing City. Soon, thousands of replies were sent to the Garrison Headquarters like a snowflake.

Jiang Weiguo felt that this event was like a "prize quiz" for later generations.

Faced with thousands of reply letters, Xiao Yao and other staff officers carefully screened and screened, because...in Yi Shuihan's words, "Nearly 50% of the replies are nonsense, and nearly 50% of the replies are nonsense. The answer of value is less than 1%, and the general value is not high, and the probability of occurrence of a real 'trick' does not exceed 0.01%.

After all, most soldiers and civilians are not aware of the overall situation of the war, the strength comparison between the enemy and us, and even many people are not aware of the terrifying nature of battleships!"

Among so many replies, two-fifths proposed to use bombers to bomb the Japanese fleet. This is typical "nonsense". If the Chinese army had enough bombers, would they still be so helpless?Although Jiang Weiguo received Hitler's full support, Hitler also had his difficulties. It was impossible for Jiang Weiguo to get what he wanted, such as the Stuka dive bomber. Germany's own output is not high now, and it is impossible to provide Jiang Weiguo with enough Sri Lanka. Tuka, Stuka pilot training is also a big problem.

In addition, there are many such replies: move the army's heavy artillery to the shore to start confrontation with Japanese battleships, dispatch the Yangtze River Fleet to intercept, and dispatch tank troops to attack the Japanese fleet. This is a typical "nonsense", and some people even suggested "Imitating the Chibi War and setting fire to the Japanese fleet" is so absurd that it makes people laugh and cry.

In the end, to deal with the Japanese fleet that is about to ride the waves, the Nanjing Army has only the following countermeasures:

One, aircraft attack (the Air Force still has a small number of bombers, but we can't place too much hope on it);

Second, send special forces frogmen to dive into the waters where the Japanese fleet is located, or install bombs on the bottom of the Japanese warship or directly board, capture, or destroy the ship (it is certainly impossible to completely wipe out the Japanese fleet, but if you can kill a large one , such as battleships or heavy cruisers, are enough to deter the Japanese army and make them dare not act recklessly);

[-]. Submarine attack (there are several German-made small submarines in the Yangtze River Fleet, but the submarines are precious and cannot be easily lost. Moreover, the small submarines carry few torpedoes, so it is difficult to severely damage the large Japanese warships);

Fourth, intensive attack by torpedo boats (the success rate of this tactic is not high, because the torpedo boats cannot be used in the Yangtze River, and the large Japanese warships must be protected by destroyers and gunboats);

Five, large-scale mine attack.

"The second method proposed by Hou Fangzhou is very valuable!" Jiang Weiguo looked at the plan and said to Xiao Yao, "Frogman troops attacking Japanese warships at night is indeed worth a try!" He vaguely remembered that in history it seemed that There was precedent for such a naval battle.

"A staff lieutenant named Qi Zeyuan also proposed a good idea!" Xiao Yao said to Jiang Weiguo, "He said that an 'underwater speedboat attack' can be considered!"

"Oh? What's an 'underwater speedboat attack'?"

"A thing similar to a submarine. It is easy to manufacture and can sail underwater. The cabin is filled with explosives or metal sodium and white phosphorus. It weighs several tons. It is equipped with an engine and is driven by daredevils to sneak underwater. Rush at the Japanese warship and ram it!" Xiao Yao said, "Qi Zeyuan said that he is willing to serve as the captain of the death squad, because this is the military rule of our Nanjing Army!" (The "underwater speedboat" conceived by Qi Zeyuan is essentially It is a small counterfeit submarine, which was widely used in smuggling activities in later generations.

）

Jiang Weiguo was very upset when he heard it. He thought to himself: "Isn't this the suicide torpedo that was used by Japan when it was about to collapse in history? It is a small submarine. The submarine itself is a torpedo, but it is equipped with a cockpit. Expendables pilot this small torpedo submarine to ram enemy warships underwater.

well!Can Chinese soldiers really only use this kind of life-threatening tactics? He looked at Xiao Yao, "Military Master, do you have any good ideas?" "

Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo: "My idea coincides with that of a deputy battalion commander named Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun said that although we lack bombers, we have enough transport planes. We can fill the transport planes with explosives, and then send them to the fighter jets. Under the cover, moths rammed into the Japanese warship like a moth! Our transport planes are all German Junker-52s. A Junker-52 can carry 1.5 tons of bombs. It can also hold hundreds of kilograms of fuel, plus the fuel in the aircraft's own fuel tank. A Junker-52 can carry 1.5 tons of bombs and 1 ton of fuel. If the impact is successful, it is no less than a big bomb hitting an enemy ship. !"

Jiang Weiguo's heart felt cold when he heard this: "Isn't this the kamikaze special attack team when Japan was about to be defeated in history? Could it be that we Chinese soldiers really have to do this?"

Xiao Yao flipped through the documents in his hand: "This Zhang Yun is a talent, and he had an interesting speculation in his reply letter, he said, since we will consider hitting an important target of the Japanese army with a plane full of bombs and fuel, then, The Japanese are inherently inhumane, will they... use this method to deal with us? For example, our mountain artillery group?"

Jiang Weiguo became colder and colder when he heard it.

Chapter 270 War City (10)

"The army is really ridiculous! How can it make such an unbelievable request?"

Although in the Japanese military circles he has always been regarded as a "good-natured, honest man without a temper", the army's outrageous demands made the Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yonei unbearable, even though the uncle of Emperor Hirohito was sitting in front of him.

"Your Excellency, Minister!" Lieutenant General Yu Yan looked coldly at General Minai, who was blushing and thick-necked because of anger, "'Open up thousands of miles of waves, spread the emperor's prestige in all directions' is the sacred national policy that Emperor Meiji bequeathed to us In order to achieve this national policy, the imperial army should fight hard and fight endlessly. Moreover, this is not only the responsibility of the imperial army, but also the responsibility of the imperial navy.

Right now, the Imperial Army is fighting bloody battles on the battlefield of China. Shouldn't the Imperial Navy do its best to assist the Imperial Army in order to fulfill its natural mission? "

"His Royal Highness!" General Minet said eagerly, "The Imperial Navy has tried its best..."

"Your Excellency, Minister!" Lieutenant General Hatohiko stared closely at General Minai, "With all due respect, the Imperial Navy has been half-hearted during the China War. Why do you do your best? If you really want to do your best, why are you pushing back against the Army's request? ?”

"His Royal Highness..." General Minet's expression and tone produced a hint of begging, "The fleet of the Imperial Navy is used to defend the empire, not just for war..."

"Your Excellency, Minister!" Lieutenant General Hatohiko was angry, "The Imperial Navy is part of the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army is His Majesty's army. Therefore, you must understand that the Imperial Navy belongs to His Majesty! His Majesty has granted you the honor of being the Minister of the Navy." His position is for you to help him manage the Imperial Navy, not for you to decide for him where the Imperial Navy will be used!"

General Minai was speechless for a moment, his eyes were staring and his face was pale.

As the Minister of the Japanese Navy, General Mitsumasa Yonei is a well-known "anti-war faction" and "pro-American and British faction" in the Japanese military. After the July [-]th Incident broke out, he strongly advocated not to expand. He advocated the capture of Shanghai (the garrison troops Jiang Weiguo killed in Pingjin were troops of the Japanese Army, so the Japanese Navy had the mentality of watching the excitement at the time, and did not share the same hatred with the Japanese Army. The war team "provoked" the Japanese navy out-and-out), but he did not approve of attacking Nanjing, especially when the current situation in Nanjing was very unfavorable to the Japanese army. The Japanese army attacked other parts of China.

Because General Minai has always been anti-war, he was nicknamed "Minister Goldfish" by some militants. The navy is well-managed, but it just "refuses to fight", so it is scolded as an embroidered pillow.

).

Facing the intimidation of Lieutenant Admiral Hatohiko, Admiral Minai had to look for help to Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida Zengo, Commander of the Naval Combined Fleet sitting beside him, Lieutenant General Yamamoto 56, Vice Minister of the Navy, and Inoue Narumi, Director of the Naval Military Affairs Bureau. major general.

Lieutenant Admiral Yoshida, who has only been the commander of the United Fleet for a month, said with a difficult expression: "Your Highness, the army's request really embarrasses the navy..."

"I admit that there are indeed difficulties!" Lieutenant General Hatohiko interrupted Lieutenant General Yoshida in an unquestionable tone, "However, difficulties are used to overcome, not as an excuse to shirk responsibility! Since the emperor built his army, he has fought hard and fought for [-] years. Which battle was not difficult? And which one was not won by overcoming many difficulties? The army does not want to hear the navy repeatedly stressing the difficulties So inaction, the army needs the navy and the army to work together!"

"Your Highness..." Lieutenant General Yamamoto said sincerely, "The Yangtze River is indeed a big river, but it is still too small! Although the heavy battleships of the Imperial Navy can barely sail into the Yangtze River, but... there is too much There are so many dangers and unexpected events! First of all, take the Nagato as an example. The Nagato has a draft of nearly ten meters, but in the river section from Shanghai to Nanjing, the shallowest part of the river is only more than ten meters, not to mention it is winter now, the Yangtze River It is in the dry season, and the Nagato needs a radius of 1000 meters to turn around, and the Yangtze River is only more than 1000 meters wide. At that time, the Nagato will inevitably struggle, and the navigation maneuverability will be reduced to the lowest point. To use a metaphor, the Nagato Driving into the Yangtze River is like lying in a bathtub, and you can hardly make much movement.

Your Royal Highness, the stage of battleships is the sea!Not the river!Otherwise, why would the navies of various countries build inland river gunships? "(If you simply calculate theoretically, the battleship Nagato with a displacement of [-] tons and a draft of [-] meters can enter the Yangtze River. After all, Nanjing is located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the situation is better than that of Chongqing and other upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In later generations, The section of the river east of Nanjing can sail huge ships of [-] tons, but it should be noted that the waterways of the Yangtze River in later generations have been dredged and reconstructed. Experts once proposed blowing up the Yangtze River Bridge so that larger ships could sail in the Yangtze River.

）

"The army needs naval battleships to enter the Yangtze River, not for you to fight!" Lieutenant General Jiu Yan's expression eased, "It just needs the powerful naval guns of the navy to provide firepower reinforcement.

The Nagato sailing into the Yangtze River doesn't need to do anything else, just fire the guns!"

"But the Chinese army is capable of attacking the warships of the Imperial Navy!" Lieutenant General Yamamoto argued eagerly, "The Imperial Navy has lost many warships in the past few months. At this time, we can be absolutely sure that the Chinese army has the ability to deal with warships." Dive bombers, torpedo boats, submarines, His Royal Highness, the Nagato enters the Yangtze River, just like a tiger entering a mouse hole, it can't be used at all! Instead, it will be beaten in vain! The combined fleet can only show its hands and feet on the vast sea , to drive into the Yangtze River... It's too dangerous! Completely tied! Can't use it! At that time, if the enemy forces attack in a swarm, even if we shoot down a hundred of their planes and destroy a hundred of their torpedo boats, we only need to sink one battleship , we are completely worthless! Completely defeated!"

"The army will do everything in its power to help the navy protect the navy's warships!" Lieutenant Admiral Yuyan Wang remained unmoved, "You must know that the reason why the army has been unable to take Nanjing is that the Nanjing Chinese Army's mountaintop heavy artillery group is the biggest obstacle. The large-caliber heavy artillery was placed on five mountains including Zijin Mountain by the Chinese army, and bombarded the imperial army condescendingly. Not only did the imperial army suffer heavy casualties, but it was also helpless! The army's largest 240mm heavy howitzer can't do anything. The only hope is the navy The naval gun! As long as the Nagato sails to the vicinity of Nanjing and bombards it with 410mm main naval guns, it can flatten the artillery mountains of the Chinese army and establish the immortal feat of the imperial army capturing Nanjing! Everyone, attacking Nanjing is not just the army The Navy is bound to take responsibility for it! I know that this embarrasses the Navy, but the Army has no other way to do this, and I hope the Navy can understand!"

Lieutenant General Yamamoto's face was sullen, and he was as angry as General Minai: "Your Highness, it is naturally the duty of the navy to assist the army in combat, but it is really too difficult and too dangerous to drive battleships into the Yangtze River. Therefore, the navy Light cruisers and two or three heavy cruisers can be dispatched into the Yangtze River..."

"Cruisers can't do it!" Lieutenant General Yu Yan became more and more impatient, "Even if it is a heavy cruiser, the caliber of the main ship's guns is too small to meet the army's needs on the Nanjing battlefield! Battleships are necessary! Let's do this! The army needs the navy The army also understands the difficulty of the navy, as long as the navy's battleships help the army to smash the five gun mountains including Zijin Mountain, the navy's battleships can withdraw from the Yangtze River!"

"The battleship that should have been invincible on the sea was driven into the inland river..." Rear Admiral Inoue teased slightly, "It's really an anecdote in the history of war!"

"Is it a bad thing to create an anecdote in the history of war?" Lieutenant General Jiuyan looked at Major General Inoue coldly, "Throughout the ages, which thing did not start from the first time? Only through the old and new can we keep moving forward, and sticking to the old rules will only make progress! It seems that it was considered impossible for the yellow race to defeat the white race, but the imperial army created the first time in the Russo-Japanese War!"

Major General Inoue held back his anger and stopped talking.

"You really want to miss your battleships..." Lieutenant General Jiuyan showed a trace of contempt, "Then adopt the second method I just mentioned!"

"His Royal Highness!" Lieutenant General Yamamoto couldn't help but speak eagerly again, "As officers, we can issue orders that make our subordinates almost die for the sake of the national interest, but issuing such orders that make subordinates definitely die... is really..."

"War will definitely kill people, and victory will definitely pay a price!" Lieutenant General Yu Yanwang said coldly, "The Type [-] land attack aircraft (bomber) is the latest and best attack aircraft of the Imperial Army, but it has already entered service. Basically, all of them belong to the navy, so this "air stand-up team" combat plan has to make the navy bother again and hope to get the same understanding from the navy.

If your pilots can drive bomb-laden attack planes to destroy the Chinese army's mountaintop guns, your battleships will naturally not have to enter the Yangtze River!"

"The lives of pilots are precious, and training them is even more difficult and difficult!" Lieutenant General Yamamoto's expressions became extremely bitter.

"Their sacrifices can be exchanged for victory and save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the imperial army. It is worth it!" Lieutenant General Yuyan Wang no longer wanted to waste time with the navy. He hated the other party's dilatory Ceng's attitude, "People are mortal, as long as death is worthwhile, even death is still alive! As a member of the Imperial Japanese Army, you should have this awareness! In addition, this task is very simple, as long as you know how to fly a plane , will be able to spot the target and hit it head-on, so there is no need to use those excellent pilots with superb skills, it is enough to use those low-level and low-skilled pilots, and it can be regarded as giving them a chance to realize the value of life in one fell swoop. Chance.

Well, that's it!It is conservatively estimated that [-] planes are needed!" After speaking, Lieutenant General Jiu Yan stood up and left directly, he was too lazy to continue talking nonsense.

In the conference room of the Ministry of the Navy, Admiral Minai, Lieutenant General Yoshida, Lieutenant General Yamamoto, Rear Admiral Inoue and others all sat there for a long time, shaking their heads or sighing wryly.

On the Nanjing battlefield, in the see-saw area between the two armies between Nanjing City and Tangshan Town, there was a lot of fine snow.

Liang Fei, the captain of the Special Forces Brigade, was leading a group of special forces cautiously forward in the snow. All of them were wearing special white camouflage uniforms, and their helmets and weapons were also painted white.

Special forces and scouts are important arms of the Nanjing Army. They are not only the sharpest blade of the Nanjing Army, but also the eyes of the Nanjing Army.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. If you want to find out the enemy's dynamics in a war, special forces and scouts are indispensable and important tools.

Relatively speaking, scouts are more "reconnaissance", and special forces are more "action".
