Jiang Weiguo was even more sad: "I even gave him (her) a nickname! It sounds better!"

Yang Mei smiled with difficulty: "What nickname?"

"Carambola!" Jiang Weiguo said sadly, "Your name is Yangmei, your brother's name is Yangliu, and his (her) name is Yangtao. How about it? It's a good match, right?"

Yang Mei smiled helplessly again: "Well, it's a good match!"

There was a slight knock on the door, and Liu Qihu gently pushed the door open: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Bureau, for disturbing you and... second sister-in-law.

It's just that I have to trouble the second sister-in-law for something!" Liu Qihu just had a headache and didn't know how to address Yang Mei. It is definitely not acceptable to call "Madam" and "Madam Jiang", both "Madam" and "Madam Jiang" are unique to Song Meiling. Others can't use it as a title, but neither can it be called "Adjutant Yang". You can only call it "Second Sister-in-law" like Sun Tao and the others.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Weiguo wiped away tears.

Liu Qihu looked ashamed and said: "The second sister-in-law told us when she was sent for treatment that day that she heard the ninth person talking when she was fighting with the ninth person in the bamboo forest. The ninth person once said to the two Japanese assassin agents 'Fix her, don't shoot', so we called several suspects over, said this sentence outside the door, and let the second sister-in-law distinguish!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Yangmei, Yangmei nodded.

Liu Qihu beckoned to the outside, and several "suspects" were sent over by the agents of the Maritime Statistics Bureau one by one. There were six suspects in total. Hongwei, Soong Meiling's adjutant Guo Sumei, Soong Meiling's (Guo Xiaoling) assistant Yang Zijing, reporter Fang Bingbing of "China Hero News", editor and reporter of "China Hero News" and Jiang Weiguo's fourth girlfriend Liu Wugou.

However, only five of the six came, and Liu Wugou didn't come. When Liu Qihu went to invite Liu Wugou, Liu Wugou told him to "fuck off" in a bad mood. Liu Qihu had nothing to do with Liu Wugou, everyone knew Liu Wugou was already the "fourth sister-in-law", no one dared to be rude to her, let alone offend her, so they had no choice but not to investigate her for the time being.

Yi Shuihan, Yuan Hongwei, Guo Sumei, Yang Zijing, and Fang Bingbing said the seven words "Get rid of her, don't shoot" outside the ward door. Liu Qihu and Jiang Weiguo looked at Yangmei together.

Yangmei closed her eyes to think and testify.

Liu Qihu and Jiang Weiguo waited quietly.

One minute later, Yang Mei opened her eyes and shook her head gently: "Neither of them, not among these five people!"

"Could it be in the guard or the guard company?" Liu Qihu and Jiang Weiguo looked at each other, "Or is it the floating corpse just discovered?" They felt that this matter was really confusing.

Chapter 281 Scorched City (1)

At [-] p.m. on January [-], [-], the Japanese destroyer Shigure was on the river near Qingshan Town, Yizheng County, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, about [-] kilometers away from Zijin Mountain.

On the bow deck, the commander of the "Yangtze River Special Fleet" of the Japanese Navy held up the binoculars solemnly for Lieutenant Admiral Shimada Shigetaro, looking intently at the Nanjing city in the distance, especially the majestic towering south of Nanjing city. He knew that that mountain was not only a hindrance to the Japanese army, but also the biggest source of obstacles for his fleet in the next battle.

Lieutenant Admiral Shimada has a round head, thick eyebrows and small eyes, high nose and thin lips, and looks quite "honest and honest". In fact, he is by no means an ordinary person. In the Japanese Navy, he is very capable of commanding the fleet. Strong, and is considered by many people to be the next Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Fleet (later promoted to the Minister of the Navy, the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Fleet was taken over by Yamamoto 56, but the staff of the Japanese Navy thought after the war that "Yamamoto and Shimada Antagonism position", which means that Shimada is actually more suitable to command the fleet, and Yamamoto should be the administrative official of the Minister of the Navy).

Lieutenant Admiral Shimada is quite opposed to the participation of the naval battleship in the Battle of Nanjing, because he knows that it is very dangerous to drive a large and cumbersome battleship into the Yangtze River. The main naval guns were disassembled and secretly transported to the Nanjing front line with heavy vehicles, incorporated into the army artillery unit, and attacked important targets in Nanjing City such as Zijin Mountain. This has two advantages. One is that the main naval guns can be dispersed. Even if the Nanjing Army launched an effective counterattack, it would destroy at most one or two Japanese main ship guns and would not be able to "one-shot". The second is to avoid taking risks on the battleship itself. After all, the battleship is really It is too big, and entering the Yangtze River, which is difficult to use, "is simply a living target for the enemy." From the psychological analysis of the Japanese navy, it is not a big loss to destroy a few main naval guns, and it will not cause any shame. The consequences would have been dramatic, but the loss of a battleship would have had a very different impact.

Undoubtedly, Lieutenant Admiral Shimada's proposal has great advantages, but it also has disadvantages. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes at least one or two hours to remove such a heavy main naval gun from the battleship and transport it to the Nanjing front line with heavy vehicles. In August, the Japanese army really "can't wait". The longer the date of capturing Nanjing is delayed, the more shameful the Japanese army will be. The Nanjing army will also use this precious time to make more adequate preparations.

Therefore, the Japanese Army, eager to take Nanjing early, did not accept Lieutenant General Shimada's proposal.

"Shimada-kun!" Lieutenant General Hatohiko Asaka, who came to greet and board the Shigure, said with a smile on his face, "You are finally here! We have been waiting for you! The most troublesome thing is the artillery groups installed by the Chinese army on the top of the mountain. Now that your fleet is here, everything will be solved! As long as your naval artillery groups fire a salvo, Nanjing will fall apart even if it is really a "stone city". Turn into dust! I can say that after you officially enter the war, three days, only three days, three days later, the ground troops of the imperial army will be able to attack Nanjing in one fell swoop!" He was full of energy and talking eloquently.

Lieutenant General Shimada smiled very modestly and said, "His Royal Highness is so flattering, I really feel ashamed!"

"Where! Where!" Lieutenant General Jiuyan disapproved, "Is the imperial navy, which ranks third in the world, worth nothing? It's time to give these Chinese people in Nanjing a good look!" He said He was telling the truth, because he firmly believed that after the Japanese Navy's battle fleet arrived to participate in the war, the overall deadlock on the Nanjing battlefield would be broken in one fell swoop.

After Lieutenant General Shimada said a few polite words, he began to seriously discuss and study with the staff officers around him.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is the information handed over to us by the Army!" Rear Admiral Cao Luyi, the chief of staff of the Fleet, handed over a thick document, "According to the Army's battle statistics report and data analysis, the Chinese Army in Nanjing Several heavy group positions were set up on the five mountains of Zijin Mountain, Yuhuatai, Mufu Mountain, Hongshan, and Beigu Mountain. It is conservatively estimated that the number of large-caliber heavy artillery on these five mountains should be between 50 and 80. As for Small and medium caliber artillery, the number is more, it is estimated that there are more than 200 pieces.

The data shows that, taking these five mountains as the origin, within two kilometers, the enemy's shelling hit rate is as high as 80%, within five kilometers, more than 60%, within seven kilometers, about 40%, within ten kilometers, only 20%, and more than ten kilometers. Only less than 5% left.

It can be seen from this that the bombardment radius of the enemy artillery group is ten kilometers. However, there are two heavy artillery pieces with extremely large diameters in the enemy artillery group. According to intelligence, they are the 330mm main guns of the German Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser. Naval guns with a range of more than fifteen kilometers!"

Lieutenant Admiral Shimada nodded: "Among the enemy's cannons, except for two naval cannons, the rest are land cannons, and their range is not as good as our naval cannons. Our naval guns bombarded them overwhelmingly within the effective range, but those two naval guns posed a major threat to our side.

We can beat them, and they can beat us.

Their naval guns are on the mountain, and our naval guns are on the warships. If we launch a "naval gun confrontation", even if our naval guns have superior firepower and numbers, it is still very dangerous.

At most we can blow up their two naval guns, but if one of our battleships is damaged or even sunk, we will be at a loss!"

"We can only attack at night!" Major General Cao Lu looked at Lieutenant General Shimada, "Anyway, we have the exact coordinates of the five mountains of the Chinese Army. By then, it will be dark and we will be cruising on the Yangtze River non-stop. Naturally, their heavy artillery can't lock us, but we can strike them with precision!"

Lieutenant Admiral Shimada frowned: "Mr. Caolu, it is impossible for the Chinese Army not to know that our fleet is coming to join the battle in such a mighty manner. Moreover, I believe they will not be willing to sit and wait for death. They must be actively planning Counterattack, tell me, how might they counterattack us or even catch us off guard?"

Major General Caolu laughed. He understood his boss’s mentality of worrying about gains and losses. As the saying goes, “Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.” After the war between China and Japan, the Japanese Army did not take the Chinese Army seriously. Even the Chinese navy was not taken seriously, because the strength gap between the two sides is not at the same level at all, but never expected that the Chinese army used a lot of "crazy tricks" to forcefully compare the Japanese army and the Japanese army. The navy was beaten into disgrace, and the Japanese navy sank several large warships alone. Under such circumstances, Lieutenant General Shimada and other senior Japanese navy generals naturally became timid and cautious, for fear of being accidentally killed. Capsized in the gutter.

"Your Excellency, you are worrying too much.

Before the absolute superiority of strength, any conspiracy is powerless!" Major General Cao Lu said with a smile, "With one enemy against ten, there is still a glimmer of hope for victory, but with one enemy against a hundred, even if Zhuge Liang is resurrected, it will not be possible. May win!The strength of the Imperial Army is a hundred times that of the Chinese Army! "

Lieutenant General Shimada glanced at Major General Caolu, and said plainly: "At the beginning of the war, most of the high-ranking officers of the Imperial Army thought the same as you do now, and ended up losing troops and losing face on the battlefield!"

Major General Cao Lu was startled, and then hurriedly apologized: "Your Excellency, Commander, this subordinate has made a slip of the tongue.

It's just that we have already prepared a perfect countermeasure at this time. You see, in the sky, on land, and on the river, we have used all kinds of the most sufficient means to protect our fleet. It is impossible for the Chinese army to take advantage of the loopholes.

In the sky, we have hundreds of planes ready to take part in the battle at any time. On land, more than 4 people from the two divisions are closely defending the shore. As for the river, the torpedo boats and mines of the Chinese Army are indeed a certain threat, but we The minesweepers, destroyers, gunboats, and motorboats surrounded the battleships tightly. If there are mines, the minesweepers will clear them immediately, and if there are torpedo boats, the destroyers will wipe them out.

Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured!Everything is under our control!"

Lieutenant General Shimada looked at the sparkling, cold air of the river, and his heart skipped a beat: "Tell me, will they touch it from under the water?"

"Submarine?" Major General Cao Lu was startled again, he thought for a while, and said with some hesitation, "Your Excellency, this is unlikely, right? Submarines can only attack surface warships in a sneak attack, and once exposed, they will surely die.

Our battleships are protected by so many destroyers, and their submarines are extremely hard to come by, and as long as they attack, they are doomed to come and go!"

Lieutenant General Shimada pondered for a moment, and felt that his thoughts were a bit unfounded.

"After dark, can we attack?" Lieutenant General Jiu Yan, who had been pacing to the side, came back again.

"Of course, of course!" Lieutenant General Shimada nodded repeatedly.

"Everything has a beginning and an end, and this war should also end!" Lieutenant General Jiuyan showed a face full of boredom.

The war in Nanjing thus entered a critical moment.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Wang Yecheng was sweating profusely on the Tianbaoshan artillery group's position in Zijin Mountain. What are you doing here? Waiting for the devil to detonate it? Hurry up! Damn it! It’s getting dark, and the little devil’s battleship is going to bombard us! Everyone has to evacuate! Don’t leave, just wait! Guns! What are you idiots doing? What's the use of these pots and pans? Take important things! Hurry up!"

"Barracks! What about these two naval guns?" An artillery officer asked sweating profusely. "It took a full week to transport these two naval guns up the mountain, and more than 1000 people were employed. How can I transport it down the mountain now?"

"Don't go down the mountain!" Wang Yecheng ordered, "Use a diesel engine to drag along the rails into the deepest part of the mountain! Damn it! I don't believe that the little devil's naval guns can really level a mountain!"

The artillery positions of Tianbao Mountain, Beifengfeng Artillery, and Xiaomao Mountain on Zijin Mountain are all undergoing a "big move" at this time, not only Zijin Mountain, but also the other four mountains. Those who move down the mountain move down the mountain, and those who cannot move down the mountain hide in the deepest part of the mountain.

The reason is needless to say. The Japanese naval guns will bombard here after dark, and carrying it hard is equivalent to death. In order to preserve strength and fight for a long time, it is natural to protect personnel, ordnance, and materials.

Lieutenant General Shimada and other Japanese generals were worried that the two 330mm naval guns in the hands of the Nanjing Army would start a confrontation with their battleships. In fact, they were too worried. The heavy artillery were either hidden or moved.

In the words of Jiang Weiguo, "Our capital is limited, and we cannot do business at a loss."

Jiang Weiguo was at Dasheng Pass at this time, waiting for the moment of battle with the frogman special forces of the "Alligator" commando.

Bu Xiao, who is about to lead the team, is wearing a tight black diving suit, water goggles on his head, and two flippers on his shoulders one after the other. The oxygen cylinder and his weapons and equipment are placed beside him, including submachine guns and pistols. , Various types of grenades, daggers, crossbows, mini radios, radios, gas masks, first aid medicines, special bombs, etc.

On Bu Xiao's face, Jiang Weiguo could not see the slightest tension, only leisure and relaxation, as if he was not going to perform the mission of narrow escape, but went fishing on vacation.

Under the leadership of Bu Xiao, the captain, all the frogman special forces had normal expressions, even talking and laughing, but Jiang Weiguo and other sending officers all looked solemn.

Bu Xiao held a carrot in his mouth (frogmen don't smoke, because smoking will damage lung capacity), stood on the riverside and looked towards the east, his expression full of impatience: "Has the little Japanese warship come yet?"

"Aren't you nervous?" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help asking Bu Xiao.

"Nervous?" Bu Xiao laughed, "Why should I be nervous? First, I don't feel nervous at all, and second..." He whispered, "I'm the captain, if I look nervous, brothers Will be affected!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Bu Xiao: "You are an officer with great potential, live well!"

Bu Xiao smiled: "Second Young Master, I owe you a good word! By the way, do you have anything to tell us?"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Bu Xiao and the other frogmen, and was speechless.

"Everything is unspoken!" Zhang Yun said next to him, "Pensions, medals, commendation orders, suicide notes, relics, etc., have been done.

You can go with peace of mind!The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone! "

"Fart!" Bu Xiao said very disapprovingly, "We are here to kill the little devils, not to send them to death! What do you mean never return? We want those little devils to come to China from Japan and never return! "

"Well said! That's right!" Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again.

"If you really want to be tragic, leave it to them!" Bu Xiao said, pointing to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the west, "These brothers are much more tragic than us, really!"

What Bu Xiao pointed at was a group of naval torpedo boats coming from upstream, and Ouyang Sihai, the leader, stepped ashore: "Old Bu, how are you doing?"

"Everything is ready, ready to go!" Bu Xiao smiled, "Are you almost done?"

Ouyang Sihai also smiled: "Yeah!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo and reported, "A total of 76 ships, all ready!"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly felt heavy.

As Bu Xiao said just now, the torpedo boat sailors are actually much more tragic than the frogmen. After the battle broke out, the torpedo boat sailors would attack the Japanese fleet on the river. It is conceivable what kind of battle it was, like moths to the flame. To put it bluntly, it is to hit a stone with an egg. How dense, tight, and solid the defense circle of the Japanese battleships is. After these torpedo boats rushed up, the outcome can be imagined. However, this is something that must be done. The torpedo boat unit must attack. The most important reason is to disturb or attract the attention of the Japanese army, interfere with the Japanese army, and act as a live target above the water surface to cover the frogmen below the water surface.

The officers and men of the torpedo boat sacrificed themselves, covered the frogmen, and gave their lives for the victory.

As a soldier of a weak country, I have to do this, and I can only do this.

At 7:30 in the evening, Jiang Weiguo received reconnaissance information: the Japanese fleet that had been assembled in the Zhenjiang area began to move aggressively, intending to enter the river section near Nanjing, and this battle of asymmetric strength between the two sides officially kicked off.

Chapter 282 Scorched City (2)

At 1:4 pm on January 8th, on the water of the Yangtze River about 25 kilometers east of Nanjing, the battleship Mutsu.

"His Royal Highness!" Rear Admiral Kusaka, the chief of staff of the fleet, ran to Lieutenant Admiral Hatohiko Asaka who was standing on the bow deck again, "The fleet is about to start shelling in five minutes. The army will definitely launch a counterattack, the Mutsu is in a relatively forward position in the fleet, you are here...it is too dangerous! Please quickly transfer to the Nagato at the rear of the fleet!" He persuaded earnestly Remonstrance.

"What are you afraid of?" Lieutenant General Jiuyan said very disapprovingly, "I want to watch the Chinese army in Nanjing City be destroyed with my own eyes! As for my safety, Chief of Staff Caolu, you worry too much, how can the Chinese army be hurt? I have a hair?" His face was livid, and there was a kind of excited and fanatical gaze in his eyes, which is a kind of "violent and hateful gaze unique to wicked people who are about to retaliate after suffering a loss."

The Battle of Nanjing lasted 35 days, and the Japanese army suffered a lot. The number of casualties approached 11 (including the Korean army and the Taiwanese army). The narrow-minded Lieutenant General Hatohiko, who had no choice but to punish the city and the Chinese people in this city People hate to the bone, and right now he can watch them being blasted to pieces. How can he let go of such a great opportunity to relieve their hatred.

"His Royal Highness!" Major General Caolu was burning with anxiety, "It's really dangerous! The Mutsu is actually within the bombardment range of the Zijinshan naval guns of the Chinese Army! Although the Mutsu will keep moving, their naval guns don't have The exact coordinates here, but there are contingencies in everything, if a shell lands on the Mutsu impartially, then you...how should we explain to His Majesty the Emperor!"
