I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"Team Liang!" A special soldier who explored the road hurriedly ran to Liang Fei's side, his expression livid, "I found a brother ahead.

Oh shit! ’ He gritted his teeth and his eyes were red.

Liang Fei led his brothers to touch the front, and before reaching the destination, he heard a crow croaking. When he got closer, all the special forces were furious and their eyes were open, because they saw a dead soldier of the Nanjing Army. His body was tied to a wooden stake, and his death conditions were horrible. Not only was he beheaded, his hands and feet were chopped off, but his stomach was also disembowelled, his eyes were gouged out, his tongue and ten fingers were cut off, his ears were cut off, his nose was cut off, and his genitals were also mutilated. Cut off and stuffed in the mouth of the skull.

Seven or eight crows were landing on the corpse to eat the broken meat, and three or four wild dogs were also eating the corpse.

The special soldiers suppressed the extreme hatred of gnashing their teeth, drove away the crows and wild dogs, and carefully untied the torn and scattered corpses from the stakes.

"Captain Liang, he's one of our scouts!" A special soldier reported with a distorted expression.

"This scout brother is really unlucky!" A special soldier sighed, "It fell into the hands of the devil!"

"Scouts, they are supposed to go deep behind enemy lines!" Another special soldier sighed.

"Take it back and give it to Captain Zhang Jinglu of the reconnaissance brigade!" Liang Fei nodded, "There are ten little devils who are about to die!" For killing one scout of the Nanjing Army, Zhang Jinglu will definitely use the same method to kill ten Japanese soldiers in revenge.

Liang Fei squatted next to the scout's corpse, reached out his hand into the abdomen of the corpse, rummaged through something and asked, "Brothers, do you know why the devil wants to torture and kill our single brothers?"

The special forces looked at Liang Fei with resentment and confusion.

"In order to intimidate us!" Liang Fei said, "The Japanese army knew that our special forces and scouts were elusive and spied on their intelligence, so after capturing our special forces or scouts, they would brutally kill our special forces or scouts, tie their bodies to wooden stakes, and put them on the ground. Show us the tug-of-war between the two armies!" He said, pulling out a bloody mass from the abdominal cavity of the corpse, "Let's all come and see, what is this?"

The special forces looked at it: "It's this brother's stomach!"

"What's on it?" Liang Fei continued to ask.

"Knife marks, his stomach was cut open by devils!" A special soldier replied.

"Well, do you know why the devils do this?" Liang Fei asked again, he paused, and said, "To check what we eat, if the stomach is full of rice, meat and vegetables, it means that our military rations are sufficient. It is packed with grass roots and bark, which shows that our army is short of rations.

The Japanese army can use this to judge how long we can last.

These are the detailed knowledge on the battlefield, you must remember!"

"Yes, Captain!" The special soldiers nodded one after another.

"Xiao Si and Lao Qi, you two should go back with this brother's body first, and hand it over to the brothers in the nearest camp of our army!" Liang Fei greeted, "The rest, continue to set off.

The intelligence department found that the Japanese army seems to be increasing its troops and increasing its ordnance, and it is very likely that a large-scale attack will be launched in the next few days, and we must collect enough intelligence!"

The special forces continued to set off.

The cold wind and the fine snow were flying, which brought a strong chill and ferocious atmosphere to the battlefield.

As Liang Fei walked, he accidentally saw a basically dry pond nearby. There was only a little muddy water left in the pond and it had already frozen. fish.

"Captain Liang, I heard that the devil's fleet will pass through Jiangyin in a while. By then, this battle will be difficult!" A special soldier whispered in Liang Fei's ear.

Liang Fei gave a "hmm", and a thought seemed to flash through his mind.

"Second Young Master has sent people from the Marine Corps to form a frogman diving team, and he has also drawn a group of veterans from our special forces brigade to serve as instructors.

Can frogmen really deal with Japanese warships? "

"It should be fine.

Regardless of how big the devil's warship is, once it enters the Yangtze River, it will be like a bastard in a cage. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can give it a vote! "

Several special forces were discussing in low voices.

Lightning flashed in Liang Fei's mind, and he suddenly slapped his thigh, his voice trembling slightly: "You guys continue with the task, I have to go back for something!" After speaking, he hurried back.

Half an hour later, there were three people in Jiang Weiguo's office, Jiang Weiguo, Xiao Yao, and Liang Fei.

"Come on, Captain Liang accidentally thought of an excellent way to deal with the Japanese fleet!" Xiao Yao has always been happy and worried, but at this time, his expression was in a huge fluctuation, his eyes were shining, The face is shining.

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao and Liang Fei in astonishment, "Captain Liang, what is the best way?"

Liang Fei's voice was trembling slightly: "Sit, the Japanese heavy warships are very large and heavy, and the draft is very deep. It is very inconvenient to barely enter the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River is currently in the winter dry season. The depth of the Yangtze River in Nanjing is only two 30 meters, while the draft of the Japanese battleship is nearly ten meters, if...if..." His voice trembled more and more, and his facial features also trembled, "What if...the Yangtze River stops flowing?"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback, he couldn't turn his head for a while, "The Yangtze River stopped flowing?"

"If we send people to block the Yangtze River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River! What will happen?" Liang Fei's eyes were like charcoal fire.

Jiang Weiguo turned his brain eagerly: "Clog the Yangtze River? Block the Yangtze River! Block the Yangtze River..."

"Let me tell you!" Xiao Yao is the one who can restrain his emotions the most among the three, "Sit, the Nanjing Yangtze River is more than 20 meters deep, and the draft of Japanese battleships is nearly ten meters deep. If we send people to the upper reaches of Nanjing, such as Tongling For example, in Anqing, what will happen if a dam is built and the river is cut off? The lower reaches of the Yangtze River will inevitably drop sharply. Even if the flow does not need to be completely cut off, it only needs to drop below ten meters, and the Japanese battleship will sink in the Yangtze River! Fall into the Yangtze River In the mud at the bottom of the water! Completely turned into a dead turtle!"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly stood up, lit a cigarette and smoked it tremblingly: "My God... this plan is too crazy..." He couldn't help but think of the "feat" in the history of the Nationalist Government that dug up the Huayuankou Dam of the Yellow River and flooded the Japanese army. "Are.

"More than that!" Xiao Yao continued, "We cut off the water first, let the Japanese fleet sink into the mud in the shallow water of the Yangtze River, and then release the water! A monstrous flood was released at once! The entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River were hit by rolling floodwaters! Drowning can also drown the Japanese warships. The personnel! At that time, we will take the initiative to attack again, and if we do well, we can seize a few Japanese battleships! That’s right! This plan is very crazy! But because of the madness, the Japanese can’t even dream of it!”

"My God... my God..." Jiang Weiguo felt that his brain was not enough at all, and he was a little confused, "does this plan work? Does it work? Does it work at all? Hurry up and study it! Will it work? It's crazy!"

"If it works..." Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo with blazing eyes, "We will have a good fight with the Japanese!"

Chapter 271 Chaos City (1)

After repeated thinking, Jiang Weiguo still gave up the earth-shattering and almost whimsical plan of "cutting off the flow of the Yangtze River". Even if this plan fascinated him very much, he had to reluctantly give up, although this plan was the most ideal after the hypothetical success. The results of the battle are unbelievably rich. The light ones can kill a bunch of Japanese warships, and the heavy ones can even capture several large Japanese warships. However, this plan is too idealistic, and the process of putting it into action is full of dissatisfaction. Certainty.

After hearing Liang Fei's idea, Jiang Weiguo immediately sent someone to contact more than a dozen of the most outstanding water conservancy experts in China at this time, including Li Yizhi, Cai Zhen, and Wang Wenjing, and informed them of the army's plan. After hearing the plan, the experts All were dumbfounded in shock.

After an urgent discussion, the experts replied to Jiang Weiguo (by telegram, because Jiang Weiguo was in Nanjing and the experts were all in Wuhan): It is theoretically possible to stop the flow of the Yangtze River, but there are huge difficulties and unpredictable aspects , Uncontrollable negative impact.

First of all, intercepting the river water at a certain point on the Yangtze River will inevitably cause the overflowing river water to drain and spread out on both sides of this point, causing large areas to be submerged by the river water; Cause seawater intrusion, which will bring major disasters in terms of people's livelihood, economy, and ecological environment, such as drowning a large number of civilians, flooding large areas of farmland and cities, causing heavy casualties and property losses. It will also be harmed. Of course, in China right now, everything has to serve the war. These things can be endured with pain. The protection of Baiji dolphins is just a trivial matter during the war at this time. However, after excluding this point, There are still too many problems.

Seriously, in history, 89 Chinese civilians were drowned in a single burst of the Huayuankou embankment, and millions of Chinese civilians were indirectly killed (disasters caused by floods such as hunger, plague, famine, crime, etc.), if this It may not be unfeasible to cut off the flow of the Yangtze River and kill the Japanese army on a large scale.

First, the issue of confidentiality.

Such a huge project must be completed in a short period of time. At least tens of thousands or even 10,000+ manpower will be used at once. The possibility of such a large-scale construction project being hidden from the Japanese is indeed not low. Once the Japanese know what is going on, the plan will be paid. Dongliu;

Second, construction issues.

It is not impossible to block the Yangtze River. There is an idiom called "throwing the whip to cut off the flow". Soil, sand and gravel are packed in wooden boxes and wooden cages and pushed into the Yangtze River (following the practice of Li Bing and his sons in building the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project to prevent the soil and rock from being pushed into the Yangtze River and then being washed away by the river current). At the same time, the south of the Yangtze River will be filled with soil, and the river will continue to drain. If the Yangtze River is 1500 meters wide at the construction site, 500 meters in the north of the river and 500 meters in the south of the river will be filled first, and the 500 meters of water in the middle of the river will be kept. In this way, the water level in the downstream will not change. At that time, when the Nanjing frontline army needed to "stop the water instantly", they dispatched dozens of hundreds of ships, each of which was loaded with large rocks, and sank together at 500 meters in the middle of the river, thereby quickly cutting off the flow and completely blocking the Yangtze River.

It is especially important to note that blocking the Yangtze River is a huge project, but it has to be divided into two parts. It took a full 12 years to build the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in later generations, because it was a dam. Now it is only necessary to block the Yangtze River, and only need to use brutal It is not necessary to consider the various negative effects caused by this.

In times of war, everything serves the war.

If this becomes a reality, then, such a picture will appear on the Yangtze River near Nanjing: several Japanese warships shelled Nanjing City on the river, and suddenly, the river water dropped sharply, and the Japanese warships were either stranded or stuck in muddy shallow water and could not move. Panicked, when the time came, the national army blasted the embankment with explosives at the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, blowing up the sunken ship and restoring the water supply of the Yangtze River. The heights rush down, like a flood and tsunami, the Japanese light warships will be overturned, the heavy warships will be submerged for a short time, and the crew will be drowned. At this time, the Nanjing Army attacked decisively and seized the Japanese warships when the river ebbed First, we must seize the ammunition depot, so that if we cannot control or capture this warship, we can at least blow it up or use it to threaten the Japanese army, then seize the turret, bombard the Japanese army with Japanese naval guns, and finally seize the wheelhouse. If it is good, the Japanese warships can be sent to Wuhan and other places on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to capture them as trophies for the national army.

There is no doubt that this prospect is very wonderful, but unfortunately, the feasibility is really not high.

The third major problem is the problem of time.

If the above steps are really completed, when will the water be cut off?Was it when the Japanese fleet was in Jiangyin or in Nanjing?If the Japanese army cut off the water when they were in Jiangyin, and the Japanese fleet ran aground in the Japanese-controlled area, the Nanjing army could not seize or attack the Japanese fleet. When the water supply of the Yangtze River was restored, the Japanese fleet would still be able to bombard the Nanjing army's position near Nanjing. If the Japanese fleet did not move, could it be The national army has been cutting off the Yangtze River?If the Japanese army cut off the water when they were in Nanjing, at that time, the timing could not be just right. It is impossible for the Japanese fleet to suddenly cut off the Yangtze River as soon as it arrived near Nanjing. At that time, if the plan to attack or seize the Japanese fleet does not succeed, everything will be worthless. The artillery groups on the five mountains including Zijin Mountain will be lost in vain, and the greatest advantage of the Nanjing Army will be lost.

Generally speaking, this time difference problem is difficult to solve. After all, the Japanese are not fools. Whether the entire project can be kept secret is an almost unsolvable problem.

After calming down, Jiang Weiguo secretly smiled wryly. He found that he thought the question too simply because he was too excited. When is this time?The turbulent period of the Republic of China; which is the Chinese government at this time?National Government.

Where is the efficiency of the national government?The situation is so turbulent and chaotic, and the national government is not an efficient government with extremely high coordination and action. It is neither comparable to the American government nor the new Chinese government of later generations. The national government does not have the same level as the Soviet government at the same time It is a mechanism system that can "concentrate power to do big things" in times of extreme turmoil and chaos.

During the Sino-Japanese War and the Soviet-German War, both China and the Soviet Union were beaten to the point of collapse by powerful enemies Japan and Germany. In the end, China was forced to "death is worse than life" until its allies completely solved Japan, while the Soviet Union was The more frustrated and courageous, the stronger the Vietnam War, and finally fought back all the way to the German capital Berlin.

Because during World War II, China was always internally unstable and divided, while the Soviet Union was not.

Although this makes the Chinese feel very uncomfortable, we must admit the fact that the National Government (even if it was improved by Jiang Weiguo) does not have the ability to "do big things". On the one hand, it is determined by the political nature of the National Government. It is determined by China's national conditions at this time.

The plan to cut off the flow of the Yangtze River is unfeasible, and the biggest reason is that the national government does not have such efficient capabilities.

After giving up this plan with extreme unwillingness and helplessness, Jiang Weiguo could only focus on other countermeasures. In any case, the Japanese fleet is indeed the biggest threat to the Nanjing Army, and it must be resolved. Otherwise, wait for the Japanese battle fleet to come. , Once the firepower of the destroying naval guns covered the world, the Nanjing Army really lived and died with Nanjing.

On the outskirts of Zhenjiang, a temporary field airport belonging to the Japanese Navy.

In the conference hall, hundreds of pilots stood neatly, like hundreds of wooden sculptures, with extremely incredible expressions on their faces, and their eyes were fixed on the blackboard on the wall, on which were written the names of thirty or forty people.

The expression of the pilot whose name was written on the blackboard can already be described as stiff.

"On the blackboard is the list of people who need to participate in the 'Nanjing Special Attack' operation!" A lieutenant in front of the team announced calmly.

In the stagnant silence, the pilot whose name was not on the blackboard looked at his companion whose name was on the blackboard with eyes full of astonishment, eagerness, and pain.

After a long while, a pilot whose name was written on the blackboard said in a slightly trembling voice, "Sir, is this why you suddenly sent us back to Japan for a day off two days ago and gave us an extra three months' salary?"

The lieutenant officer nodded, his eyes and expression were like stones: "My lords, for you, the time has come to serve the empire and be loyal to the emperor. I hope you will live up to expectations and complete this glorious and glorious task!"

"Your Excellency, Captain!" A 26-year-old pilot whose name was not on the blackboard strode forward eagerly, "Why...why did you do this?" He knew very well that the people participating in this "special attack" were all There is no return, and there is no doubt that you will die.

The Lieutenant Commander sighed slightly: "The army has been unable to conquer Nanjing. The biggest obstacle is the heavy artillery group set up by the Chinese Army on the five mountains including Zijin Mountain. We have racked our brains and can't think of a really effective way to destroy the five artillery mountains. If A strong attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be several times more severe than the Battle of Lushun back then! You must know that the crucial 203 Heights in the Battle of Lushun, where the imperial army and the Russian army fought to the death, was only 203 meters high. Taking the 203 highland, more than 4 people were killed or injured, and more than 1.1 people were killed in the last storm alone, and the Zijin Mountain is 449 meters high, which is more than twice the height of the 203 highland! The Chinese army was more fully prepared than the Russian army on Height 203! The army first bombarded with heavy artillery groups, but the Chinese army artillery group on the mountain was safe and sound, and destroyed nearly a hundred heavy artillery pieces of the army in the artillery group. Our navy then used bombers many times Carry out night bombing on Zijin Mountain, however, Zijin Mountain has a radius of more than 30 kilometers and covers an area of ​​up to [-] to [-] square kilometers (this is the area occupied by simple mountains and hills, about [-] times the area of ​​Iwo Jima), In addition, night bombing cannot ensure the accuracy of bombing, so... only 'special attack methods' can be used!"

"Incendiary bombs can be used!" The pilot said eagerly.

(The Japanese call incendiary bombs "burning bombs".

）

The lieutenant commander shook his head: "All the trees on Zijin Mountain have been cut down by the Chinese army, there is nothing to burn.

Even with incendiary bombs, the situation is the same as conventional high-explosive bombs, the planes drop bombs while flying, and the bombs fall too scattered!" (Only in theory, the Japanese army could use napalm bombs to bomb Zijin Mountain, even if there is no wood on Zijin Mountain Only earth and rocks can ignite a fire, and napalm bombs have been invented at this time, but the production of napalm bombs requires a lot of natural rubber. Japan is short of rubber, so napalm bombs cannot be mass-produced.

）

The pilot was silent, and then he became excited again: "Your Excellency, Captain! Why...why was I not asked to participate in this special attack as the sub-captain? And they...they... please forgive me, these team members on the blackboard are very young Ah, basically they are all under 20 years old..."

The lieutenant looked at the pilot: "Murata-kun, you are the ace pilot of the Imperial Navy. Both the Empire and the Emperor need you to live, and you need to make greater contributions to serving the Empire and being loyal to the Emperor. Last time you accidentally hit and sank an American gunboat The Panay almost caused a military conflict between the Empire and the United States, but because of your flying talent, the Ministry of the Navy saved you, and you must cherish it.

As for them..." He looked at the special attack team pilots on the list, "Yes, because they are all young and have not yet become important figures in the empire, so it is natural to take on this task.

This special attack doesn’t require great flying ability, all you need to do is aim at the target and hit it head-on!” He paused, and added, “I’m not saying that Murata-kun, your life is more precious than theirs, in fact , as soldiers of the empire, we must be ready to sacrifice ourselves at any time, but those with stronger abilities must live longer in order to make greater contributions to the empire and the emperor, that's all!"
