I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

It was Masahiko Otowa's left ear that was thrown out just now, and Masahiko Otowa's right ear was thrown out this time.

With a carrot in his mouth, Bu Xiao cut off Masahiko Otowa's ears with a diving knife. He was unscrupulous and confident.

Lieutenant General Jiu Yan outside the hatch almost exploded his lungs.

After Bu Xiao and the other frogmen took control of the ammunition depot, Takagi was at a loss for what to do at first, and then lost his head in a hurry. However, Lieutenant General Hatohiko King was already furious. He was so angry that he was concerned about his son's safety and could not let go of his face, so he refused to leave the Mutsu.

"What else do you want to do?" Takagi Dazuo asked Bu Xiao almost begging.

"Master Captain, please listen carefully to me!" Bu Xiao said unhurriedly, "We have carried remote-controlled bombs, and now, we have dismantled the fuzes of five rounds of 410mm naval guns in this ammunition depot. The bomb is loaded, and the detonator is in our hands, as long as one of us moves a finger-boom! Hey, everyone is going to the west together, including your Mutsu, so, you'd better not let us Not happy, once we are unhappy, our hands will shake and we will press the wrong button!"

"Please state your requirements or conditions!" Mrs. Takagi's face was like gold paper, and his voice was trembling.

"First, let the Mutsu park at this location, and if we find out that you are trying to drive the Mutsu away, detonate it immediately! Second, don't try to attack us or seize this place, if we find out what tricks you are playing, detonate it immediately! Understood? As long as you don’t do what we say, we won’t be bothered to talk to you, let alone bargain with you, detonate immediately! Do you understand what is “detonate immediately”? It means me or my companion’s fingers lightly One click! Then we are finished together! If you doubt the determination of us people to die, welcome to try!" Bu Xiao's voice was like a dark wind blowing from the gate of hell.

"Got it, got it!" Tears flashed in Takagi's eyes, which were tears mixed with extreme fear, extreme tension, and extreme humiliation. In his own words, "The hijacking of the Mutsu is far more difficult than my The abduction of my child made me feel like a thousand arrows pierced my heart, and I was so sad that I didn't want to live. At the same time, I felt unprecedented fear and helplessness. What else could I do except obey the other party's words obediently? I had no choice."

"As for other requirements or conditions, you can talk to our Chief Jiang Weiguo!" Bu Xiao said relaxedly, "I have already sent a telegram to Chief Jiang Weiguo, and he said that he is very interested in talking to you!"

"Understood, I understand!" Takagi Takagi had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that the purpose of these Chinese troops is not to destroy the Mutsu? But to hijack the Mutsu? What if That's right, the Mutsu is still saved! But...the Chinese military will definitely ask for a price!" The glimmer of hope in his heart was once again covered with a thick haze.

In the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, when Jiang Weiguo announced the incident to Tang Shengzhi, Xiao Shanling, Huang Wei, Song Xilian, Li Yutang and other senior generals, everyone's reaction was the same as that of the Japanese, dumbfounded and stunned, feeling extremely incredible.

"What's wrong? Do you suspect that I'm bragging?" Jiang Weiguo laughed, "Listen, didn't the Japanese fleet stop shelling? At this moment, those brave frogman special forces are in the ammunition depot of the Mutsu, holding detonators, Ready to die for the country and blow up the Mutsu to a pile of scrap iron in the Yangtze River.

I can tell you this, those frogman special forces are all mentally prepared to go and never return. They are all true warriors and dead soldiers who are utterly loyal to the country. They will unswervingly carry out my orders. If I'm telegraphing the order to detonate now, and in two seconds, you'll see the Mutsu smashed to pieces in a super ball of fire!"

"My God..." Tang Shengzhi and others murmured unconsciously, their thinking was also completely rigid.

"This...how did this happen?" Song Xilian looked at Jiang Weiguo in disbelief.

"Jianhao, you really... really make me don't know what to say..." Huang Wei looked at Jiang Weiguo with an almost awe-inspiring look in his eyes.

"The Japanese...I...this is simply a miracle, yes, a miracle..." Li Yutang shook his head, "A miracle unheard of in the history of war! Am I dreaming? It's incredible! Incredible, yes, incredible!"

"Jianhao, you are really...so powerful..." Xiao Shanling looked at Jiang Weiguo with the eyes of an alien.

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "How did I do it, don't worry, I will tell you slowly.

Right now, all you need to know is that the decision to destroy the Japanese Mutsu is already in our hands, and we must make the most of this hard-won major advantage!"

"What do you want to do?" Everyone looked at Jiang Weiguo eagerly.

Jiang Weiguo smiled again, very mysteriously.

When Bu Xiao sent the success report to Jiang Weiguo, the first thing Jiang Weiguo did was to call Xiao Yao for discussion, and the second thing was to telegraph the matter to Chiang Kai-shek. After all, this matter is very important. impossible.

After learning about it, Chiang Kai-shek was so shocked that he didn't say anything wrong for a full 5 minutes. He was extremely shocked at first, then extremely happy, and finally extremely at a loss, because he didn't know how to deal with such a major victory for a while.

Jiang Weiguo's action not only made the Japanese at a loss, but also made his own people at a loss.

In his diary that day, Chiang Kai-shek wrote: "...Nanjing is full of good news and good news. Wei'er has never been to a military academy, but has extremely profound strategic vision and extremely extraordinary tactical mind. Yu was surprised and bewildered, and even astonished and bewildered, Yu was overjoyed.

Alexander (Alexander the Great) spent only 13 years in his thirties to unify Greece, sweep the Middle East, annex Egypt, pacify Persia, conquer Western India, and open up a great empire with a territory of 500 million (square kilometers). Like a military genius?Since God bestowed this son on me, how can I help him?Sigh even!"

"Wei'er, what are you going to do next?" Chiang Kai-shek eagerly sent a telegram to Jiang Weiguo after barely recovering.

"Of course I made a request to the Japanese!" Xiao Yao said to Jiang Weiguo without hesitation, "First of all, we won't lose any money by blowing up the Mutsu, which caused the Japanese to lose a battleship solidly, and it was destroyed by the Japanese. One of the two battleships that people regard as their lifeblood.

It is certain that the Japanese army, especially the Japanese navy, would be severely damaged by doing so unprecedentedly. First, it may make the Japanese navy fearful and frightened, and dare not participate in the war again. Second, it may make the Japanese navy angry and desperate. Fight us to the death, and become more and more frenzied for revenge!"

"If it's the second case, it's really troublesome..." Jiang Weiguo thought.

Xiao Yao laughed, a contemptuous smile: "The second situation is meaningless.

To fight a war is to weaken the enemy's strength by any means. Isn't it a stupid pig's behavior to keep one's hand for fear of angering the enemy?The more stubborn the resistance, the better, is that wrong?If we follow this logic, what are we still doing in Nanjing?The more Japanese we kill, the more we will anger the Japanese and make the Japanese more crazy, so we can't kill the Japanese?What kind of shit logic is this?So just surrender! "

Jiang Weiguo also laughed, a kind of self-blaming smile: "Well, I think too much, and my thinking logic has fallen into a contradiction!"

Xiao Yao continued: "If we can grasp the power to destroy the Mutsu, we can properly bargain with the Japanese, but we must remember that bargaining is not our purpose, it is just a matter of convenience, we only need to make a request, if the Japanese If you are not satisfied, blow up the Mutsu directly! Since we have an absolute advantage, there is no need to accommodate the Japanese, even just a little bit.

Disagreement?Detonate immediately!That's it! "

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Military division, your idea is..."

At 11:20 p.m. Japan time (Note: Japan time is one hour ahead of China time, at this time it is 10:20 p.m. China time), Emperor Hirohito of the Showa era, who is regarded by 7000 million Japanese as the "god of the world", is about to go to bed When they received a report, King Fushimi Miyahiro Kyo and Yuasakurahira urgently asked for an interview because "an extremely serious emergency just happened on the battlefield in China."

After Hirohito and Yuasakurahira, who had pale faces and trembling lips, learned that "the Mutsu was hijacked" was not only extremely important but also extremely unimaginable, Hirohito was stunned.

After recovering his mind with extreme difficulty, Hirohito tried hard not to tremble in his voice: "What request did China make?"

King Bo Gong said with a painful expression: "That Jiang Weiguo made three requests. First, the imperial navy will withdraw from the Nanjing war. Second, the imperial navy will stop blocking the coastal ports of China. Third, the imperial navy will immediately transfer ten small and medium-sized warships to China. navy.

Jiang Weiguo gave us an hour to produce, and after an hour..." He looked at the exquisite and luxurious grandfather clock in the room, "That is 12 o'clock in the morning, if we refuse or do not reply, the Mutsu The Chinese raiders in the ammunition depot will detonate the shells...and blow up the Mutsu, and if we agree, the treaty will last until the imperial army formally captures Nanking!"

"This...this is ridiculous..." Hirohito's voice was as ethereal as his expression, "Is there no way to solve it?"

King Bo Gong looked more and more painful and said: "Your Majesty, unfortunately, there is no way to solve it.

We have already discussed and considered it. Some people proposed to attack by force, and some people proposed to poison the Chinese army in the ammunition depot with poison gas, but... none of them are feasible.

The Chinese army in the ammunition depot can detonate the shells at any time. We have no chance of winning. Once they notice our actions, they will detonate the shells immediately, immediately!Your Majesty, you can be sure that those members of the Chinese raiding force are all desperadoes who are ready to die.

Unless we have the ability to kill those Chinese troops in an instant, even if there is only a one-second time difference, everything is irreparable. One second is enough for them to press the detonator button. We really can't take chances and doubt the situation The seriousness and the determination of those Chinese soldiers to die!"

Yuasakurahira said with trembling lips, "Maybe we have other ways, but it's useless because it's too late.

Your Majesty, the military is overwhelmed by this matter, so ask for your 'holy judgment'.

We have only two choices, there is no third, one is to do what the Chinese people say, and the other is to burn everything and give up the Mutsu!"

Hirohito took a deep breath to calm himself down a bit: "What's the attitude of the navy?"

"The navy is basically unwilling to give up on the Mutsu!" King Hiroko sighed.

Compared with the Japanese army, which is equivalent to a human machine, the Japanese navy is still relatively "civilized", so it can't do the kind of cruel and cruel things that the army does, and the strong men cut off their wrists. What's more, the value and significance of the Mutsu are too great. Japan People can't afford to lose.

Hirohito took another deep breath, he needed to calm down.

"Your Majesty, the Mutsu cannot give up!" Yuasakura said with tears in his eyes, "The Mutsu is the ace battleship of the Imperial Navy that keeps pace with the Nagato. Once it is lost, the Imperial Navy will be severely damaged! Not only is it powerful In order to build it, in order to keep it, the imperial army, civilians and the imperial government paid incalculable blood, sweat and painstaking efforts! Even, part of the funds for the construction of the Mutsu came from the whole country Donations from patriotic elementary school students from all over the country, so the Mutsu is not only the spiritual symbol of the citizens of the empire, but also the crystallization of blood and sweat of countless empire citizens! If it is gone, the whole empire will be shaken!" The Mutsu was built 19 years ago After the end, the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Japan and other naval powers held the "Washington Naval Conference". The United States and Britain had asked Japan to abandon the Mutsu.

In this regard, the Japanese government stated that some of the funds for the construction of the Mutsu came from donations from elementary school students. If it were abandoned, the Japanese government would not be able to explain it to the Japanese people. tragic fate.

It is worth mentioning that because Japan’s financial resources are not strong and developed, a large part of the funds for the construction of the Mutsu were collected from private donations from all over Japan, including collective donations from elementary school students, including some Japanese women who voluntarily sold their bodies and then The money exchanged was used to support the construction of the Mutsu, which shows the degree of "patriotic" of the Japanese.

"The military expenditure of the Imperial Army is only 1-[-] million (yen) a year, while the value of a battleship of the Mutsu has already exceeded [-] million yuan!" King Hiroko sighed again, "It really cannot be lost easily!"

"If we agree..." Hirohito asked, "how can we make sure that the Chinese don't lie?"

"The Chinese said that the Germans will mediate!" Yuasa Kurahei said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision! We are running out of time!"

"In addition, His Royal Highness King Jiuyan has come up with a solution!" King Bo Gong said.

"What way?" Hirohito became curious, and Yuasa Kurahei was also amazed.

King Bo Gong's face was ashen and authentic: "There are millions of Chinese civilians in the core southern Jiangsu area such as Shanghai. If the Chinese army doesn't hand over the Mutsu, the imperial army will massacre the city!"

Chapter 286 Scorched City (6)

The Mutsu incident made Chinese and Japanese high-level leaders feel at a loss that night, because this matter was indeed too strange, too weird, and too unimaginable.

On the Japanese side, whether it is Emperor Hirohito, Chief of the Military Command, King Fushimi Gong Hiroshi, Admiral Minai, Minister of the Navy, Lieutenant General Yoshida, Commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Lieutenant General Shimada, Commander of the Japanese Yangtze River Fleet, and Takagi Osamu, Commander of the Mutsu , were completely "ignorant", and completely fell into a state of confusion; on the Chinese side, Chiang Kai-shek, whose "real body" was in Wuhan, was also "ignorant", and he was unable to make an emergency response, because this was something he had never thought of. Yes, and he was not the decision-maker for this operation at all. He was even kept in the dark by Jiang Weiguo on this matter, so it was difficult for him to send any instructions or orders to Jiang Weiguo in Nanjing. At the same time, because "Chiang Kai-shek" In Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek himself was hidden in Wuhan, so it was inconvenient for him to call He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Bai Chongxi, Xu Yongchang, Chen Shaokuan, Ouyang Ge and other high-level military officials for discussions. He could only hand over the decision-making power to Jiang Weiguo. In fact, Jiang Weiguo has always been "obedient and disobedient" to Chiang Kai-shek, so the Chinese side has the power to deal with this matter in Jiang Weiguo's hands. Chiang Kai-shek has no control over Jiang Weiguo. ".

In fact, Jiang Weiguo was also a little "ignorant". His mentality at this time was similar to that of the Kwantung Army after the September [-]th Incident. It was so huge that he was in a hurry, and he had to filter his thoughts well.

People sometimes overcomplicate simple things.

The task of the alligator commando at this time is very clear, namely: destroy the Japanese battleship Mutsu!

This is a sentence written in black and white in the battle plan, there is absolutely no ambiguity, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in wording.

The purpose of Jiang Weiguo and others in formulating this combat plan is also very clear, and the logic is also very clear: the battleship formation of the Japanese Navy passed through the Jiangyin waterway, arrived at the river section near Nanjing to participate in the Nanjing battle, and then bombarded the Nanjing Army's battleship with large-caliber naval guns. Important facilities and core positions posed an unprecedented threat to the Nanjing Army and increased the possibility of the Japanese army capturing Nanjing. Therefore, the Nanjing Army must attack decisively and strive to severely damage the Japanese battle fleet.

Is there any reason not to fight when the enemy comes to the door?Due to the limitations of objective conditions and strength, it is impossible for the Nanjing Army to completely wipe out the Japanese battleship fleet, so the goal is set as "heavy damage". The meaning of the word "heavy damage" is to severely damage or sink a Japanese battleship. Targeted for action.

According to the battle plan, the alligator and frogmen secretly sneaked into the Mutsu, captured and controlled the ammunition depot of its main turret, and finally—detonated the shells to blow up the Mutsu.

When this is successful, two possibilities arise:

First, the Japanese navy was terrified and lost fighting spirit due to the heavy loss, and no longer participated in the Nanjing War or reduced its participation in the war. This was also Jiang Weiguo's goal. After all, the lethality and destructive power of the large-caliber naval guns of the Japanese battle fleet were too great. According to the estimates of staff officers such as Xiao Yao, the Japanese battle fleet only needs to participate in the battle for five days and continue to bombard, and the defense line outside Nanjing City will collapse, and the city of Nanjing will be crumbling and precarious. above.

Second, the Japanese Navy became angry and frantic because of the heavy loss, and then stepped up its participation in the Nanjing War. Not only did it continue to participate in the war unswervingly, but it even transferred more large battleships to participate in the battle. Obviously, this was in line with Jiang Weiguo's purpose It runs counter to it.

In this regard, although Jiang Weiguo was unwilling, he did not avoid it.

Nanjing will basically fall, but until now, the Nanjing army has held on to Nanjing for more than a month, killed more than 11 people in the Japanese army, and sunk a battleship of the Japanese navy, which is also the second ace battleship of the Japanese navy. Such a record cannot be ignored of splendor.

Nanjing was lost, and the Nanjing army was defeated, but the defeat was glorious.

Compared with the historical record of the Chinese army defending the city for 13 days, killing about 3000 Japanese soldiers, and wounding about 9000 Japanese soldiers in the Nanjing Defense War, Jiang Weiguo asked himself and felt that he was worthy of his motherland, the Chinese nation, worthy of the mission entrusted to him by history.

After repeated analysis, Xiao Yao and other staff officers felt that the probability of the first possibility was more than 60%, and the probability of the second possibility was less than 30%.

The first ending is naturally the best. Jiang Weiguo won again and won the perfect. Although the second ending has a taste of self-defeating and putting the cart before the horse, it speeds up the progress of Nanjing's fall, but it is actually not bad. At least one of the Japanese troops was reimbursed. Ace battleship, isn't this a colossal, colossal achievement?With this alone, Jiang Weiguo is enough to win ten Blue Sky and White Sun Medals.

In general, although the second ending will lead to the fall of Nanjing faster, but we can't waste food because of choking, and lose sight of the other. Even if we take [-] steps back, since we have the opportunity to kill an ace warship of the enemy's invading army, we don't seize the opportunity and make a decisive move. Just ask, is there such a reason in the world?Isn't war just about hitting the enemy with all your might or even by any means?

To be sure, there is nothing wrong with Jiang Weiguo's decision.

According to the plan, after Bu Xiao and other frogmen successfully capture and control one of the main turret ammunition depots of the Mutsu, the next step is to detonate the shells, yes, detonate the shells without hesitation, destroying the Mutsu is Bu Xiao Waiting for the purpose of the frogmen's battle, Bu Xiao and the other frogmen are ready to die, and they are determined to die with the Mutsu, but before the official attack, Xiao Yao added to Bu Xiao, "I absolutely guarantee that you will die at any time." If the Mutsu can be destroyed, if you can use it to threaten the Japanese, you might as well give it a try.

However, please be careful, destroying the Mutsu is still your goal.

As long as the Japanese don't cooperate, even if they delay for a second, don't hesitate to detonate!"

Bu Xiao also said later: "When I put forward three conditions to that Takagi, I didn't expect him to agree. I only gave him 5 minutes. I was already mentally prepared, and I pressed the detonation button without hesitation after 5 minutes. implement, complete the task, and serve the country as benevolence.
