I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II
Page 236
Even in the face of the division commander's furious thunder, even though the division commander's pistol was already on his forehead, the commander of the major squadron still looked like he was about to die. He had already collapsed mentally: "Your Excellency, division commander ...Ah...It's Your Excellency, Division Commander...It's useless, it's useless at all...These Chinese soldiers can't be defeated...My squadron has been replenished three times, and they are all dead, all dead It's useless..." He muttered incoherently, as if answering Itagaki and talking to himself, completely in a sleepwalking trance.
Lieutenant General Itagaki did not pull the trigger because he was incapable of doing such a thing, and he discovered to his despair that there was an unprecedented and unheard-of precedent of a nervous breakdown in his unit.
"Your Excellency, Head of the Division, take a look at that..." The commander of the Major Squadron suddenly smiled strangely, and pointed to something not far away.
Lieutenant General Itagaki took a look at that thing. At first glance, he didn't think it was very special, but after a closer look, his whole body was cold.
Wulongshan's battle process "is like the villain laying a frying pan in hell, over and over again, the process is extremely painful, and what is more painful than the process itself is that this process cannot end.
The villains in hell are all ghosts, no matter how tortured they are, they cannot die. Since they cannot die, they cannot be freed. They can only endure endlessly the pain of the frying pan and the extreme despair of not seeing the pain end, oolong The same is true for both parties involved in the war” (compared by war correspondent Fang Dazeng).
The Japanese naval guns and heavy artillery poured endless raindrops of shells on Wulong Mountain without hesitation, and the Japanese infantry crowd rushed up wave after wave like crazy, stepping on the paved roads. The corpses of the accomplices, stepping on the scattered limbs and bloody ashes, stepping on the knee-deep soft sand, the rain of bullets, grenades, and even stones fell head-on.
Contrary to what Jiang Weiguo and most Chinese in later generations thought, the Chinese soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War did not use stones as weapons after the ammunition was exhausted, but used stones as soon as possible at the beginning of the battle, so as to maximize Save ammunition as much as possible.
Amidst the Chinese roar resounding through the sky, the Feilei Cannon kept roaring flames, and the hot and eye-catching bullets formed a fire net and fire wall that made the Japanese army rush up like a wave crashing on the reef. It was flying all over the head of the Japanese army, blowing up the Japanese army's flesh and blood like a fairy scattered flowers.
Every time Lieutenant General Itagaki watched the battle, the muscles on his face would tremble involuntarily. He saw that his soldiers were worthy of the title of "Steel Army", and they were charging without stopping, bursting out with a proud tenacity Spirit and fierce combat effectiveness, but still unable to climb up this small hill that is so low that it cannot be regarded as a mountain at all. The group of machine guns on the mountain and a larger number of other firearms blasted out a storm of bullets. Falling down dancing and dancing, shocking holes bloomed on his body, blood gushed like a fountain, internal organs flowed horizontally, torn limbs, broken arms and human heads rolled around in the blood mist, the morale-like charge quickly turned into a liver-shattering Bold screams.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the attacking Japanese army continuously turned into dead people, minced meat, and wounded on the ground or dead, minced meat, and wounded rolling down the mountain.
The Japanese attacking on their backs had almost nothing to do with the machine gun bunkers of the defenders. The shooters manipulating the grenades and mortars were the priority targets of the opponent's machine guns, mortars, grenades, and snipers. They could only use tanks to cover the infantry. Charge and provide melee support firepower, but once the Japanese tanks approached, meteor-like artillery shells burst from the defenders' position, and the Japanese tanks hit by the defenders' 37 anti-aircraft guns burst into flames in the explosion. Burning blazingly, the Japanese tanks hit by the defenders' 88 anti-aircraft guns were immediately smashed to pieces in the big explosion, and the only way for the Japanese army to suppress the defenders was shelling.
Lieutenant General Itagaki contacted Major General Ide Tatsuo, the commander of the heavy artillery group, in a state of anxiety, requesting "to further increase the bombardment intensity."
Major General Ide replied in shock:
"What? Need to increase the intensity? The current intensity is already the highest, isn't it enough? Under such a high-intensity shelling intensity, can the Chinese army on the mountain still survive? General Itagaki, I thought your troops had already captured the Uganda. Longshan is gone!"
Lieutenant General Itagaki, who was deeply ashamed and angry, said angrily: "Because they are all hiding underground!"
The highest peak of Wulong Mountain was originally 72 meters above sea level, but it was lowered to 69 meters after three days of fighting. The powerful artillery fire of the Japanese army flattened the mountain by a full three meters.
After the earth-shattering bombardment, the Japanese army charged again, but in the darkness of the gunpowder and dust, the Chinese soldiers, who seemed to be endlessly killing and dying, once again launched a thunderstorm-like firepower to counterattack the Japanese army.
In the gaps between battles, the defenders frantically dug pits and trenches with shovels, bayonets, helmets and other tools to resist the Japanese artillery fire.
The Japanese army stormed Wulong Mountain again and again, leaving a large number of corpses and wounded soldiers and returning without success.
"If the Manchurian Army (Northeast Army) had resisted the Imperial Army like this... No, it would have been half of it, even a third or a quarter of it... The Liutiao Lake Incident (September [-]th Incident) would have been inevitable. It will fail..." Lieutenant General Itagaki couldn't help the thought that made him faintly palpitate, and he even had a thought, "I... the entire imperial army of the empire, the reason why they have been able to succeed repeatedly in the territory of China in recent years , Is it because you have been lucky enough not to meet a real opponent?" The more he thought about it, the more he shuddered.
While the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, the defenders of Wulong Mountain were actually in great difficulty.
On the fourth day of the battle, a squadron of the 42nd Regiment captured a forward firepower point of the defenders in a night raid. A platoon of the defenders inside the firepower point was having dinner at that time. The officers and soldiers put down their lunch boxes and took up weapons to fight. After killing twice as many Japanese soldiers as themselves, they died collectively.
Lieutenant General Itagaki went to inspect it in person, and he saw a dozen balls of black and furry things beside the corpses of the dead defenders. After careful observation, he found that they were more than a dozen pieces of mouse skin.
A thought flashed across Lieutenant General Itagaki's mind, and he hurried to look at the defender's lunch box. As it turned out, there was only a little rice porridge and a dozen skinned and grilled mice in the lunch box.
"Great!" Lieutenant General Itagaki was overjoyed, "Immediately order the naval fleet to bring as many Chinese civilians as possible from southern Jiangsu!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander..." Chief of Staff Nishimura Liwen was taken aback, "Are you going to use the 'human shield tactics' again?"
"Confused!" Lieutenant General Itagaki scolded, "The Imperial Headquarters has issued an order that this is not allowed to be done again, and this is also the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor. Of course we cannot defy it. My plan is to drive a large number of Chinese civilians into Wulong Mountain." In the area controlled by the Chinese army, speed up their food consumption! You see, the dinner of these Chinese soldiers is rats! It is not difficult to deduce from this that the food of the Wulong Mountain Chinese army is already very insufficient! As long as we add a large number of them Their food will be completely exhausted! At that time, they will either starve to death, or they can only carry out a suicidal breakout! Isn’t Wulong Mountain within easy reach?”
"So that's how it is!" Colonel Nishimura felt suddenly enlightened, "Your Excellency, Head of the division, you are truly astute!"
"Remember!" Lieutenant General Itagaki added, "Only transport the elderly, women, and children, not young men!"
Lieutenant General Itagaki's speculation was completely correct, because the grain depot was hit by Japanese armor-piercing bullets, and the defenders of Wulong Mountain lost more than half of their grain reserves. weakness.
After the Mutsu incident, the Japanese navy, which was well rectified, could not provide the greatest assistance to the army in the Nanjing battle, but it still did its best within the scope of the "Dashengguan Agreement". In just one day, more than 1 people were killed. The old, weak, women, children and civilians forcibly captured by the Japanese army from Yizheng County in Jiangbei were sent to the front of the Wulong Mountain position.
The Japanese army, who was already familiar with this matter, sent people to contact the garrison of Wulong Mountain, claiming that these were "Chinese civilians who were eager to defect to the Kuomintang-controlled area" in Yizheng County, and asked the garrison to accept them. Come here, if the defenders refuse to accept them, they will not be responsible for sending them back.”
Looking at the old people, women, and children in the country who were shivering in the cold wind and crying for help, Luo Long and Li Xi were extremely unbearable and expressed their willingness to accept them, while officers such as Luo Tingkang, Li Zhiyuan, and Qu Yang expressed their opposition.
"The intention of the Japanese army is clearly revealed!" Qu Yang said with a livid face, "Drove our common people to our place, added more than 1 mouths to eat at once, and doubled our food consumption all at once. Double and then fucking double.
This move is really fucking poisonous! "
"And there are still more than 1 mouths that can only eat but not work!" Li Zhiyuan sullenly said, "The devils are very shrewd. They send old and weak women and children who cannot fight or do rough work. Become a burden!"
Li Xi reasoned and argued: "Why do we fight? Isn't it to prevent our common people from becoming subjugated slaves? If we refuse to save them and push them to the side of the Japanese army, then why should we fight?"
"It's more than that!" Luo Long sighed, "The Japanese army didn't use us people as human shields this time, but sent us people to our positions to let them fend for themselves. If we don't care, it really can't be justified!"
Luo Tingkang said coldly: "The Japanese army used civilians as human shields for the purpose of capturing our position, and the Japanese army used civilians to consume our food for the purpose of capturing our position. What's the difference?"
"That's what I said, but..." Luo Long looked at Luo Tingkang, "My family, do you really have the heart to watch our children freeze and starve to death outside?"
While everyone was talking, the heartbreaking sound of children crying was heard all the way up Wulong Mountain and into the ears of the guarding officers and soldiers.
Although they knew that this was a trick of the Japanese army, the officers and soldiers could not be ruthless to ignore those compatriots in their own countries, especially women and children who could not be ignored. Therefore, most of the officers supported or acquiesced in accepting these more than 1 refugees.
Wan Yuan is an associate professor of science and engineering at Nanjing University, becoming an associate professor at the age of 26 is very rare in China at this time, and although Wan Yuan’s name is very masculine, she is actually a woman, which makes her situation even worse. Very few.
Before the outbreak of the Nanjing Battle, Wan Yuan chose to stay in Nanjing voluntarily, but she was "driven out of the city" by Jiang Weiguo together with a large number of people similar to her, because Jiang Weiguo did not want these precious talents to be buried in Nanjing.
After leaving Nanjing, Wan Yuan wanted to go to his hometown of Yangzhou to visit his long-lost parents, but when he passed by Yizheng County, he was dragged into the city by a group of refugees and was driven into the city by the Japanese army. At this time, he was transported to Wulong Mountain by the Japanese army.
After arriving on Wulong Mountain, Wan Yuan quickly understood why the Japanese army sent her here together with so many refugees forcibly. Troops save food".
After a few days, Wan Yuan, who was dizzy from hunger, learned that the radio station in the headquarters was damaged but there were no professional maintenance personnel, so she volunteered to go to repair it, so she stayed in the headquarters that night and was rewarded with a thick-faced steamed bun.
Resisting the instinctive impulse, Wan Yuan only ate half of the steamed bun, and then concentrated on repairing the wireless station. In the middle of the night, when she finished her work, she was about to sleep when she suddenly smelled an extremely attractive aroma.
"Scent of meat?" Wan Yuan was both surprised and delighted. She followed the scent and walked out of the door. She saw Luo Long, Luo Tingkang, Li Xi, Li Zhiyuan, Qu Yang, Zhang Chao and more than a dozen officers gathered in a small mountain nearby. eating dinner.
The officers, who had just repelled yet another Japanese attack, were exhausted and hungry, so they didn't have time to eat dinner until late in the night.
Wan Yuan saw the officers gathered in a circle, eating a small portion of porridge with wild vegetables, and a bonfire was lit in the middle of the crowd, and they were grilling something.
"Ah... so they still have meat to eat!" Wan Yuan was a little angry, but then felt relieved, "It should be, they are soldiers, they have to fight and fight desperately, and they need to eat meat to replenish their strength!" At this time, Wan Yuan heard the officers chatting.
"You can eat fresh ones, but those that have been dead for several days have a foul smell of blood!" Li Xi said.
"Thank God, it's freezing cold now, otherwise they would all be rotten!" Qu Yang said.
"It was disgusting at first, but now I'm fucking getting used to it!" Luo Long said with a wry smile.
"I'm almost addicted!" Li Zhiyuan said, "Sure enough, the legend is true, liver is the best!"
"I still prefer eating hearts!" Zhang Chao said, "Relieve hatred!" He bit a piece of meat viciously.
"We are really going to become a group of devils!" Luo Long said with emotion, "We can do such a thing!"
"Devil? Haha!" Li Xi laughed, "This is what Yue Wumu advocated!" He knocked on the lunch box with a rice spoon, and groaned in a long voice, "The shame of the Jiawu period is still unresolved, and the hatred of the Northeast, when will it be destroyed! Drive a chariot and break through the gaps in Mount Fuji! Aspiring to eat the meat of the Japanese invaders hungry, laughing and talking about drinking the blood of Japanese slaves thirsty! Wait for the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and slaughter Tokyo!"
"There is no other way!" Qu Yang sighed, "After accepting so many refugees, the food is really going to be unsustainable! Since we want to save the food for the refugees, we can only do this!"
Feeling an ominous premonition in her heart, Wan Yuan stepped forward, seeing the scene in front of her clearly, it was as if she had been hit by a bolt from the blue, she staggered and nearly collapsed.
Suppressing the intense emotion that could make one faint, Wan Yuan's face turned pale, his eyes straightened, and his voice was full of deep fear: "You...are you eating...human...flesh?"
Luo Long and other officers were startled when they heard Wan Yuan's voice, then they were caught off guard, and then fell into silence. In Wan Yuan's words afterwards, "The atmosphere at the scene was terrifying like an ice cellar. I watched these Soldiers, whom I held in awe, now look like a bunch of ghosts."
"I'm sorry!" Luo Long whispered, "Professor Wan, we scared you!" He sighed, "Yes, you guessed it right, they were all cut from the corpses of Japanese soldiers!"
Wan Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, bent over and vomited violently. There was no food in her stomach, so what she vomited was acidic water.
"How could you do such... such... such a terrible thing?" Wan Yuan asked in horror.
"We can't help it!" Qu Yang said with a sad expression, "Professor Wan, after you came, the food is really not enough, we can only do this.
In fact, most of the soldiers are like this, but we have issued an order to do it in the middle of the night behind your back!"
Wan Yuan looked at these soldiers with horror who had truly achieved the goal of "eating barbarian meat hungry, laughing and drinking the blood of the Xiongnu". She didn't know what to say, her legs were weak, and her thoughts were like a puddle outside. It's freezing.
"Dr. Wan..." Li Xi said with a wry smile, "I couldn't accept this kind of behavior at first, but I remembered that during the Anshi Rebellion in history, Zhang Xun defended Suiyang to the death. The food in the city was exhausted and people were in chaos. They bought their concubines, cooked them and rewarded their soldiers, and Huang Chao’s army even ate human flesh. There have been many cannibalism in China throughout the ages! If this is the case, why can’t we?”
"The Japanese are pigs, dogs, and beasts in our eyes!" Luo Tingkang, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Isn't it normal for people to eat pigs and dogs? Besides..." He laughed dryly, "We were destined to be Dead people, what do you care about so much?"
Afterwards, Wan Yuan said: "...No amount of descriptions can really let people know the cruelty and intensity of the Battle of Nanjing. Many details that people can't look directly at, believe in, and imagine can make people understand. Feel it from the bottom of my heart.
In the case of insufficient food, the officers and soldiers of Wulong Mountain garrisoned the meat of Japanese soldiers to fill their hunger and continue to fight. It has already killed the red eye, it is really urgent, and it reflects from the side how cruel and fierce the battle is and how decisive our officers and soldiers are fighting to the death!"
The "something" that the Japanese Major Squadron Leader who had a mental breakdown indicated to Lieutenant General Itagaki to look at was actually a mutilated corpse of a Japanese soldier, with part of the internal organs dug out and the flesh on the thighs and arms cut off.
Facing such an army that would not only kill him, but also eat him, even the Japanese army, which has always been known for its bravery and fearlessness, felt unprecedented horror and fear.
The Japanese army later called the defenders of Wulong Mountain a "cannibal army" in horror.
I have to admit that this move by the Wulong Mountain defenders caused a great blow to the morale of the Japanese army, and at the same time further told the Japanese army: What a terrible army the Nanjing Army is.
Section 301 German Envoy
On February 2st, Jiang Weiguo received a telegram from thousands of miles away. The content of the telegram was concise but meaningful: You are about to do it. Now I am full of high confidence in you and China.
It was Hitler who sent the telegram.
When Jiang Weiguo was sent to Germany as a diplomatic mission, he was received by Hitler together with Jiang Baili, and he eloquently defeated the Japanese special envoy in front of Hitler. It was also the first time he met Hitler. , Nanjing can keep at least three months."
Right now, two-thirds of Jiang Weiguo's oath has been fulfilled. The Battle of Nanjing broke out on December 1937, 12. At this time, it was February 1, 1938. It has been two full months. Several strongholds such as Longtan Town failed to shake the city of Nanjing. At this point in the war, both the Japanese Army and Navy suffered extremely huge, even unprecedented heavy losses on the Nanjing battlefield, and the battle continued until this time. China The army still holds the initiative on the Nanjing battlefield, and the Japanese army has little hope of capturing Nanjing.
Jiang Weiguo will indeed do it.
Along with this telegram, there is also a huge, all-encompassing, and continuous flow of German aid (compared to the "American aid" in history). After all, on April 4, two months later, the Chinese coastline will be destroyed again. The Japanese navy blocked it, so Hitler seized the time to send personnel, technology, weapons, and machines to Jiang Weiguo, and the scale and strength were greatly strengthened compared with before. In fact, Hitler was not "stingy" before. "Very generous" was upgraded to "extremely generous".
Faintly, Hitler's Third Reich seemed to bet all its bets on China.
It is conservatively estimated that within these two months, according to Hitler's order, the German military industry sent more than 70% of its products to China (the rest was sent to the Spanish battlefield).
"The head of state and Germany have sent charcoal to China, we will remember it in our hearts, thank him, thank you Germany!" Jiang Weiguo gratefully shook hands with the German ambassador to China Tautman who came to deliver the aid documents.
Taudman smiled, and there was a very special meaning in the smile, he looked around: "Mr. Jiang, the head of state has sent a special envoy, and I hope to meet with you alone and have a good talk.
