I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Finally, the first suicide plane began to accelerate and slammed into an artillery emplacement abruptly.

After seeing this scene, Murata saluted with tears rolling down his face.

"On board!" In the cockpit of the suicide plane, only a 19-year-old pilot was yelling hysterically, and suddenly controlled the plane to crash into it. At the last moment of his life, he seemed to see something strange: " Wait! That's..." But he didn't have time to think any more, and his whole body was smashed to pieces in the violent explosion.

"Onboard!" The second, third... more Japanese suicide planes slammed into the Nanjing Army's hilltop artillery positions like moths to the flames, "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" !”… Group after group of huge fireballs rose from the ground one after another at the impact site, fireball upon fireball, explosion after explosion, more than forty suicide planes crashed into Beifeng, Xiaomaoshan, Tianbao in batches On the seven or eight main forts on the mountain, Yuhuatai, and Beigu Mountain, billowing thunderbolts exploded and blazing flames ignited.

"You are all real samurai! Goodbye at the Yasukuni Shrine!" Murata burst into tears.

Murata didn't know at this time that his subordinates, colleagues, and friends died for almost nothing. Just after the Japanese bombers left, the heavy artillery groups of Zijin Mountain, Yuhuatai, and Beigu Mountain roared again. The death storm of heaven-shattering and earth-shattering poured on the Japanese army, where the bullets fell, the sky collapsed and the earth fell, and the Japanese army was turned into ashes.

A total of 52 heavy artillery pieces were originally planned to be installed on the five mountains including Zijin Mountain. In fact, a total of 38 heavy artillery pieces were installed when the Battle of Nanjing broke out. Since the fierce battle, a total of 27 heavy artillery pieces have been damaged (5 were destroyed by the Japanese army, 2 were damaged due to bombing, and 2 was damaged due to mechanical failure), so there are a total of 1 heavy artillery on the five cannon hills in Nanjing City at this time.

There are 60 heavy guns, and the gun positions will definitely not be "one carrot and one hole". There are no more, no less, 60. In fact, there are hundreds of gun positions on the five cannon hills. The extra gun positions are used for preparation. The second is to place newly added guns (Jiang Weiguo has been sending Dai Anguo, Gu Weijun and others to purchase various weapons abroad).

During the Japanese suicide plane offensive just now, the artillerymen of the Nanjing Army played a very simple but very effective "little trick" according to the prior plan. "After that, the cannon was immediately moved away with a diesel engine, and moved to a spare gun position or in the basement for protection, and then a blackened log was used to protrude from the gun position nozzle to disguise it as a cannon, and at the same time... a large number of fireworks were set off.

The fireworks are selected, more similar to large-scale firecrackers, and the flames are soaring into the sky when they are lit.

The pilots of the Japanese suicide planes couldn't tell the difference between the fake cannons when they were mentally tense, the plane was shaking, and their vision was unstable.

"A total of seven heavy artillery were damaged in the suicide attack of the Japanese plane, and three of them can be repaired!" Cai Zhonghu, the acting brigade commander of the Artillery Brigade, reported to Jiang Weiguohui.

Jiang Weiguo laughed grinningly: "These idiots are little Japan!"

The Japanese army’s all-out attack continued until noon on December 12, with a total of more than 31 casualties (two-thirds were Japanese soldiers from Korea and Taiwan), and more than 8000 people were killed alone. (Because the Japanese army could not rescue wounded soldiers on the battlefield in a timely manner, and the Japanese army hardly rescued Korean and Taiwanese Japanese soldiers), the Nanjing army had only more than [-] casualties, of which only [-] were killed. The fierce battle ended with a complete victory for the Nanjing Army, and the Japanese Army ended up stealing chickens without losing money.

After learning the result of the battle, General Matsui and others were all ashamed, and Lieutenant General Jiuyan almost vomited blood on the spot.

Due to the complete failure of the suicide plane tactics, the Japanese army had to put all their hopes on the fleet guns.

In a dark corner of the city of Nanjing resounding with cheers and gongs and drums, two people were having a conversation.

"The imperial army wants to capture Nanjing, and killing Jiang Weiguo is already a must, do you understand?"

"Why not just kill Chiang Kai-shek? Chiang Kai-shek is also in Nanjing.

Killing Chiang Kai-shek is better than killing Chiang Weiguo!"

"The assassination of Chiang Kai-shek has already been carried out, but... I am very surprised, who did it last time when Chiang Kai-shek was assassinated? Are you sure it wasn't you? How did the imperial intelligence department not know at all? You are not allowed to act without authorization like the army!"

"It's definitely not ours. We are also very surprised. Does the empire have other intelligence agencies in Nanjing? Why don't you communicate with us?"

"It's hard to say.

Perhaps, the killers who assassinated Chiang Kai-shek were actually Han Fuju, Liu Xiang, Li Zongren, and Long Yun, but they deliberately planted the blame on the imperial intelligence agency.

Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about your mission, you must kill Jiang Weiguo!In fact, Jiang Weiguo is already the real commander of the Nanjing Army. If he is killed, the imperial army will surely capture Nanjing with twice the result with half the effort! "

"Understood! Although it is very difficult, we will do our best to complete the task!"

Nanjing Edition "Chinese Heroes Daily" General Issue No. 032:

January 27, [-] of the Republic of China January [-], [-] AD

Headline headlines:

All the soldiers of the Nanjing Army wish all compatriots a happy New Year's Day on the Nanjing battlefield!The national army will win!China will win!

From the night before yesterday to the morning of yesterday, the Nanjing army once again broke through the new round of all-out attack by the Japanese army and wiped out about 2 enemies!

The battle in Nanjing lasted for a full month. According to the statistics of the Nanjing Garrison Command, the Nanjing Army has wiped out about 10 enemies in total!

Ms. Soong Meiling, wife of the chairman, led the women's condolences army to Nanjing by plane. Hu Die, Zhou Xuan, Meng Xiaodong and more than a dozen famous actresses arrived in Nanjing with their wives to condolence to the Nanjing army soldiers who fought bloody to defend the country and the capital.

The Nanjing Army held a grand military parade in the city of Nanjing today to celebrate New Year’s Day and the major victories and fruitful results of the Nanjing War, demonstrating to the Japanese invaders and at home and abroad the ambition of our Nanjing Army to be fearless and powerful.

The Nanjing Army is mighty!Long live the Nanjing Army!

On New Year's Day in 1938, nothing could attract the world's attention more than the Nanjing military parade that took place in Nanjing.

If this "Nanjing military parade" is a big drama, Jiang Weiguo is naturally the chief director.

Whether it was Tang Shengzhi, Zhou Zhirou, or Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang Kai-shek himself in Wuhan), they were all very surprised by Jiang Weiguo's ingenious proposal. Since this matter was indeed of great positive significance, after weighing the pros and cons, Chiang Kai-shek followed suit and approved Jiang Weiguo.

After getting Shangfang's sword, Jiang Weiguo immediately started this matter and put it into action. Facts later proved that Jiang Weiguo's move was a great success. The response can be said to have shocked the whole world, creating an unprecedented feat in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars.

毕竟，蒋纬国是把原先历史上1941年11月7日的苏联红场阅兵“提前照搬”到了1938年1月1日的南京，取得的意义和影响自然是空前的。

Just after the military parade ended, journalists from all walks of life in Nanjing sprinted at a speed of [-] meters to release the first-hand news of the military parade.

The "Chinese Heroes Daily", which is close to the water, was naturally the first to issue a news report. The report described the entire process of the military parade in detail:

…The venue for the military parade is Zhongshan Road running through Nanjing City from east to west. The starting point is Yixian Bridge at Xihua Gate, passing through Ming Palace Airport, passing through Zhongshan Gate, and ending at Sun Yat-Sen Mausoleum in Zijin Mountain. three kilometers.

Today, the weather is not beautiful, and it has been snowing heavily since the early morning, making the city of Nanjing completely covered in silver. In fact, God helped us, because of the heavy snow, the Japanese planes could not harass and destroy the military parade. When the Japanese planes are dispatched, the brave flying eagles of our air force will also let them come and go.

The troops preparing to participate in the military parade had gathered in advance in the urn city of Shence Gate in the northwest of Xuanwu Lake. In the wind and snow, the officers and soldiers stood neatly like sculpture monuments. I was so excited that I couldn't help trembling all over my body, but the officers and soldiers always maintained strict military discipline. Even if their bodies were covered with snow, they didn't move an inch. As time went by, the officers and soldiers waiting for inspection in Shence Gate Urn City looked like densely packed snowmen Of all the static, only the blinking of the officers and soldiers from time to time and the white air exhaled from their mouths and noses are dynamic.

The Xihua Gate has been clean and tidy after being repaired overnight by the engineering brigade. The broken bricks and rubble have been transported away. The bright red banners were hung by two giant balloons and fluttered on both sides of the viewing platform, with bold bold letters written on them:

"Long live the Chinese nation!"

"The Republic of China will surely win!"

This military parade appeared very monotonous, simple, and hasty due to insufficient preparations, but it increasingly showed a majestic and solemn atmosphere. Please don't forget that at the same time, hundreds of thousands of Japanese invading troops were in Nanjing City. Outside, and has almost surrounded the city of Nanjing on land.

The enemy army is approaching the city, and our army is still parading in a mighty manner. Such a feat, how magnificent and magnificent!

The two sides of Zhongshan Road have been besieged by tens of thousands of Nanjing residents. The highly militarized management means that the civilians are as strict as the soldiers. Red national flags are all over the ground to show patriotism, no one is running around, no one is yelling, and everything in Nanjing is as precise and orderly as the parts on a machine.

The viewing platform at Xihua Gate was crowded with people, most of whom were military attaches, diplomats, journalists, etc. from Western countries. There were only a few high-level figures. Chinese Ambassador Toddman, US Military Attaché to China Colonel Joseph Stilwell and several others, accompanied by General Tang Shengzhi, talked and laughed from time to time.

At [-] a.m., Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, his wife Song Meiling, the captain of the bodyguard Wang Shihe, his wife’s adjutant Guo Sumei, and more than a dozen people slowly boarded the viewing platform of Xihua Gate. The guests applauded together.

The chairman is dressed in a military uniform, wearing a cloak and a big cloak. His appearance is thin and radiant, and his spirit is as usual. Only the bandage is still wrapped around his neck. It is reported that the wound was slightly infected and inflamed due to a doctor's medication error, which delayed the recovery time.

Nevertheless, the chairman insisted on speaking in person, his voice was deep and husky but powerful.

In the midst of everyone's attention, the Chairman walked to the loudspeaker microphone and announced solemnly:

"Dear citizens, compatriots, colleagues, and international friends, I now announce that the New Year's Day celebrations for the 27th year of the Republic of China will begin now! Raise the national flag! Play the national anthem!"

Following the chairman's order, there was no sound at the scene, only the howling of the wind and snow, and at the same time the military music.

Accompanied by the vigorous, high-pitched and exciting national anthem, a huge national flag was slowly raised in front of the viewing platform of Xihuamen. More than [-] people at the scene took off their hats and stood in silence watching the national flag rising. The sound of explosions was heard from outside the city in the snowstorm, but no one in the city panicked, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

About 1 minute later, the national flag was raised to the top of the flagpole, and the national anthem ended slowly. Amid thunderous applause again, the flag-raising ceremony was over, and the Chairman began to deliver a cadenced and soul-stirring speech:

"Compatriots all over the country, overseas Chinese, and guests from all international friendly countries, today is New Year's Day in the Western calendar, the first day of the new year. As the saying goes, the plan for a year lies in spring. The first day of the new year should be full of hope, even in the midst of war. period.

Holding on to the hope of victory in your heart is an indispensable prerequisite for victory.

Throughout the ages, which great cause has not been completed without going through all kinds of difficulties and overcoming thorns and thorns?Take the founding of the Republic of China as an example, how much wind and rain and blood and tears have been filled in the past 26 years?How many people with lofty ideals have gone on and on to create the Republic of China today?Right now, we are fighting the same war.

Today, we are holding this ceremony in a very serious situation. The Japanese soldiers are pressing down on the border, and they are just outside our capital. This war is a war of aggression launched by Japan against us in an attempt to conquer China and dominate the East. Very serious, but not irreparable.

It has been half a year since the war started. Whether in Pingjin or Shanghai, the national army has performed well and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese. As for the current Nanjing battlefield, the Japanese have paid an unprecedented and painful price. Almost [-] Japanese soldiers have been killed or injured On the Nanjing battlefield, and this number will continue to increase in the future.

We're sure to win!The Japanese are doomed to fail!The Nanjing battlefield is the best proof!The Japanese can't even take down a single Nanjing, so how can they take down our entire China?The Japanese want to destroy China, but is China so easy to be destroyed?Our territory is exactly thirty times that of the Japanese, and our population is six and a half times that of the Japanese!In terms of territorial area, China is the second largest in the world, and in terms of population, China is the largest in the world.

Although we are not yet a strong country, we are a big country to the letter, and as long as we become more and more courageous and stronger, we will definitely become a strong and powerful country!Now is the most critical moment for our country. In order to safeguard the survival of the country and the independence of the nation, and to safeguard the justice of the world and the peace of East Asia, each of us must keep in mind the teachings of the founding father, inherit the revolutionary mantle of the founding father, and complete the unfinished work of the founding father. Cause, unite as one, fight to the end!I firmly believe that as long as our 5000 million compatriots unite as one and share the same hatred, we will surely win the final victory of this great war!Our Chinese nation is invincible!The final victory of this war must belong to us! "

The concluding words of the chairman were drowned in another burst of warm applause and various deafening slogans. Immediately afterwards, the chairman gave an order: "The military parade begins!"

Colonel Jiang Weiguo, deputy chief of staff of the Nanjing Army, drove slowly to the viewing platform in a military vehicle. General Tang Shengzhi, the commander in chief of the military parade and deputy commander of the Nanjing Garrison, looked at Jiang Weiguo solemnly. Jiang Weiguo solemnly and forcefully greeted Chief Tang Saluted and reported "The troop to be reviewed is ready, please give instructions", Officer Tang returned the salute and said "Start".

Jiang Weiguo turned around and announced loudly, "The military parade has begun, and we will play music."

The military band under the viewing platform played the impassioned military song of the national army. In the majestic military song, the first square team to participate in the military parade faced the wind, snow and frost. Marching eastward on the street in front of the original site of the Government Executive Yuan, this is an honorary phalanx, because the Nanjing Army officers and soldiers in the phalanx are all disabled soldiers who have made great achievements on the battlefield, some lost arms or fingers, some Disabled soldiers who lost their legs, some lost their eyes, and could not walk on their own were sitting in wheelchairs and pushed by medical soldiers. There were a total of 402 people, 20 horizontally and 20 vertically. In addition to the two leaders, the 100 rows in front were able to walk by themselves. Disabled soldiers walking, five rows behind are disabled soldiers sitting in wheelchairs, so there are another 502 medical soldiers, the actual total is [-] people, one of the two disabled soldiers leading the team lost his left arm and the other lost his right arm. Arms, chest are wearing the Baoding medal.

Every disabled soldier has a neat uniform and a medal on his chest. They are the real heroes of our country, so they are eligible to be the first to be inspected.

Although the honor formation was somewhat uneven and the shape of the formation was very irregular, the atmosphere was solemn and no one made fun of them. Everyone looked at these glorious disabled soldiers with admiration and reverence. Salute.

Behind the honor phalanx is the infantry phalanx. 402 infantrymen marched through Zhongshan Road with great arrogance. The mp-98 submachine gun, each helmet was covered with snowflakes, and the bodies of the infantrymen were all white, but they still had a majestic military appearance and a military posture, which won the praise and applause of everyone at the scene.

When the square team passed the Xihuamen viewing platform, all the infantry saluted the chairman of the committee and shouted slogans "Long live the Chinese nation" and "The Republic of China will win", which made tens of thousands of civilians on the scene couldn't help being excited They shouted the slogans "Long live" and "Victory" in unison.

The sound was like thunder, resounding through the snow sky, and it lasted for a long time.

...

Behind the infantry phalanx came the fast-moving cavalry phalanx.

...followed by the all-conquering artillery phalanx.

…followed by the all-conquering armored phalanx.

... followed by the hard-working engineering phalanx.

...and then the phalanx of medical soldiers who rescued the wounded and rescued the dying.

...The slogans of "Long live" and "Must win" resounded like a tsunami in the sky of Nanjing City. A total of 13 square teams passed the inspection field, and the last square team was the "trophy square team". Composed of dozens of large trucks, all kinds of Japanese weapons captured by the Nanjing Army, including dozens of sun flags, were neatly and densely piled up on the vehicles. Assembled next, the trophy team burned the Japanese sun flag and other objects in front of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum as a memorial to Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Finally, Jiang Weiguo gave an order to all the troops that had assembled and participated in the military parade to "return to the front line."

…——Excerpt from Issue 032 of the General Issue of the Nanjing Edition of "China Heroes"

The scale of this Nanjing military parade is not very large. A total of about 6000 officers and soldiers participated in the military parade, and many mistakes were made because of the hasty preparations. It is also disheartened, which is of course inevitable. The officers and soldiers must not be able to participate in the military parade in bright clothes, and their forward steps are very uneven. There is no visual effect of "tofu cubes". This is also inevitable. The officers and soldiers must There was no time for special training. During the military parade, some war horses were frightened and ran around, some military vehicles lost control due to tire skids, and even soldiers accidentally fell because of snow and ice on the ground. Many "jokes" were made, but none People laughed, because the atmosphere of the whole military parade was extremely solemn and solemn, and at the same time outside the city, the sound of artillery rumbled and the sound of killing continued. The Japanese army, who knew what the Nanjing Army was doing in the city, was trying to destroy it while trying to take advantage of it. Launched several medium-scale strong attacks (the Japanese army had just been massacred by the Nanjing Army, their vitality and vigor were greatly reduced, and they had neither the strength nor the intention to attack again in a short period of time), so the Nanjing Army held a military parade while fighting, It added a strong heroic color to this special military parade destined to shine in the annals of history.

As expected, the "Nanjing military parade" directed by Jiang Weiguo had a huge impact like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and all of them were positive and positive effects. (Of course, the "Chiang Kai-shek" who presided over the military parade in Nanjing is a Xibei product, and the speech was actually written by Jiang Weiguo). All the major powers spoke highly of the Nanjing military parade. The German "People's Observer" commented in this way : "...The battle of Nanjing is in full swing, but the Chinese army defending Nanjing is holding a military parade in Nanjing. We have to deeply admire the wisdom, courage, and courage of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. He used this practical action to show the world A testament to the fearlessness of himself, his army, and his government in this war.

The Chinese army in Nanjing is a terrible army. They are full of belief in victory in this war, and at the same time they are full of determination to die in this battle. Because of this, even if the Japanese army, which is several times their size, puts them and Nanjing The city was surrounded, and they acted as if nothing had happened.

How can an army that is not afraid of death be afraid of an enemy army composed of living people?The war in Nanjing has lasted for a month, and the city of Nanjing is still standing still, still running precisely like a huge machine. The social order in the city is in order, and there is no sign of collapse or destruction at all. , Both soldiers and civilians are full of fearless courage.

More and more military strategists from various countries have begun to give hesitant or negative answers to whether the Japanese army can take Nanjing. Even more and more military strategists are re-evaluating Japan's national power and military strength.

At the very least, we can now be sure that even if the Japanese army captures Nanjing, they are doomed to pay an extremely heavy price that Japan cannot bear, and we believe that the Japanese army will probably give up attacking Nanjing!"

Regarding this Nanjing military parade, the Japanese side reacted most violently. "The blatant and rampant behavior of the Chinese army is a naked provocation to the empire! It is a naked humiliation to the imperial army!" General Sugiyama was furious after learning about it. , In fact, this is exactly the feeling of most of the top Japanese military and Japanese people.

"The Chinese army was proudly showing off their power in Nanjing, and they simply changed their tricks to make the empire and the imperial army suffer a great humiliation!" "If they don't step through Nanjing, how can they wash away such a shame?" The Japanese army, deeply insulted by unprecedented insults, went crazy. clamor.

"The first purpose of the Nanjing Army's move is to boost their own morale, and the second purpose is to stimulate us!" After learning about this, Ishihara Wanji approached General Matsui, "Your Excellency, Nanjing is a trap. We carefully dug this trap, and then tried every means to lure us to jump into it. Why do we want to let them get what they want and be led by their noses? Why do we want to jump into their trap while the enemy is eager for it?" He wanted to laugh, because He felt that it was ridiculous that the war situation had reached the point where it is today. The Chinese army had planned for a long time in Nanjing and was fully prepared. It allocated a considerable part of the precious war resources of the Chinese army to Nanjing. He also took the bait head-on, and fought hard for a month, with almost no gains but heavy casualties. Under such circumstances, the top Japanese army actually planned to continue to fight head-on.

If the Japanese army attacked Nanjing for political reasons at the beginning, then the Japanese army is now purely "angry" and "fighting".

It is worth mentioning that the Battle of Stalingrad, which became a turning point in the Soviet-German War in the original history, also had this characteristic. The German army desperately wanted to capture Stalingrad. In addition to strategic, military, and political reasons, Another important reason is that Hitler was "fighting" with Stalin. Stalin could not tolerate the city named after him being occupied by Hitler, but Hitler insisted on occupying it, making the battle just like the German senior general said. "He (Hitler) Turned the battle into a personal vendetta against Stalin."

Facing Ishihara Kanji's heart-wrenching sigh and ridicule, General Matsui remained silent.

In the final analysis, this is actually determined by the narrow and extreme national characteristics of the Japanese. It is the tradition of the Japanese to feel that they have become the best in the world after the rise of the Meiji Restoration. Once they feel that they have been insulted, they immediately act like The mad cow provoked by the red cloth is desperate for revenge.

This Nanjing military parade made the top Japanese army feel "suffered a great humiliation", and then they all became angry from embarrassment, making the voice of "continue to fight Nanjing, and must occupy Nanjing" still the mainstream in the Japanese military headquarters.
