I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Luo Tingkang replied: "Use it as a soldier!"

There was such a slightly comic but extremely tragic scene on the battlefield: a soldier was lying in a trench with two or three women beside him, and the Japanese army was rushing up densely. The soldiers urgently demonstrated to the women beside them: "Rifle gun Use it like this! Reload it like this! Use the bayonet like this! Mortars... Forget it! You can't learn mortars now, you learn to use rifles, yes, and machine guns, machine guns are easier to use... No time The devil is coming up! You throw grenades! Don’t think about anything else! Throw the grenade quickly! Unscrew the back cover, yes, pull the tab and throw it out! Throw it to a place where there are many devils!”

The women stared wide-eyed and learned.

Soldiers struggled to fire, surrounded by women who threw grenades with trembling hands, while fighting and learning to use rifles, machine guns, submachine guns and even mortars.

The last more than 80 regular soldiers of this company were all killed in battle. After they died in battle, the women picked up their guns in the pool of blood and continued to fight. Although they did not achieve much results, they did fight with all their strength. And greatly shocked the Japanese army who saw this scene.

At that time, the Japanese army attacking the position of this company was a brigade of the 41st Regiment. The captain of the brigade could hardly believe his eyes after seeing this scene with a telescope. Your Excellency, Captain! You must not believe it, it is a group of Chinese women who are fighting with our troops!"

Mr. Yamada was very surprised: "Catch a few alive and see!"

The Japanese army did not catch a few survivors, because at the end of the battle, the wounded women covered the women who were able to retreat and retreated first. When they parted, the two groups of women hugged their heads and cried. The woman who had a good relationship with her said: "My child was caught here by the Japanese devils with me, and I will trouble you to take care of him in the future!" The entrusted woman nodded repeatedly in tears: "I will be his mother from now on." !” Wounded and unable to walk, the women finally blew grenades and killed themselves.

The Japanese troops who captured the position were all stunned.

Wangjiachong on the northwest edge of Wulong Mountain is a small hill more than 30 meters high, but the mountain is made of granite, which is extremely strong. Two huge stones extend from the front of the mountain, forming a bell mouth. There is a machine gun bunker with four mg-34 machine guns inside, which cannot be opened by one man.

The 21st Regiment of the Japanese Army who attacked here was shot and injured more than 700 people by this machine gun bunker. Finally, the machine gun inside ran out of ammunition, and the shooter blew a grenade to commit suicide, and the Japanese army captured this hill.

The furious Captain Hideo Awasakahara of the 21st Regiment walked into the bunker to see "what these damned machine gunners of the Chinese Army look like", but he saw the corpses of eight Nanjing Army soldiers and The bodies of twelve women.

If the time was reversed to more than an hour ago, what happened in the bunker was as follows: twelve women with bullet chains all over their bodies came to deliver bullets, and the four machine gunners and four deputy shooters inside had already killed seven people, leaving only The next wounded soldier, the deputy shooter who was seriously injured and dying, insisted on firing with a machine gun. When the wounded soldier saw the women who delivered the bullets, he said, "Sisters, I'm about to die. I'm bleeding all the time. Come and fire." !"

The women said anxiously: "We have not received training in this area!"

The wounded soldier smiled and said, "I will teach you now.

Come on, come here, reload like this, aim like this, and then fire, it’s actually very simple, remember to fire at places where there are many devils, the muzzle should swing left and right to form a fan shape, and see the devil’s mortar shooter or grenade shooter Fire immediately, the devil's mortars and grenades are very accurate.

... "

The women set up their machine guns tremblingly, and kept asking as they fired: "Is this the case?...Am I doing it right? What should I do now? Ah...A devil is coming...Quickly Fire! Hit! Hit! . . . "

Amidst the sound of machine gun fire like furious swords and flowers, the wounded soldier slowly bled to death. Twelve women wept and sweated profusely manipulating machine guns to shoot at the Japanese army, killing more than 300 Japanese soldiers, including five One person was killed by Japanese artillery shells or cold guns during the battle, and seven others fought until they ran out of bullets. Since they had nowhere to retreat, they hugged each other and held hands and fired grenades.

Women fight, children fight too.

Although the officers and soldiers couldn't bear to let their children die in the rain of bullets, many children did participate in the battle or help without hesitation, carrying ammunition, treating the wounded, etc., and even directly participated in the battle.

On the Monkey Mountain in the south of Wulong Mountain, a squadron of the 42nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Japanese Army captured a position of the defenders and was surprised to find that there was still a living body in the trench filled with corpses. It was a 12-year-old child. , with a face full of fear and uneasiness, and raised his hands high.

The squadron leader of the Japanese squadron ordered to capture them alive and take photos as evidence of "the Nationalist government's cruelty, rage, and deportation of children to the battlefield." As a result, when two Japanese soldiers stepped forward, the child suddenly blew a grenade hidden behind him, It exploded to the point where he and two Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces.

Before that, the child desperately asked to join the war. He said: "My father was killed by the Japanese devils, and my mother was first ruined by the Japanese devils and then killed. And those Japanese devils forced me to watch while they were ruining my mother." , I want to avenge my parents."

The officers and soldiers on the battlefield were very uncomfortable, because they knew that this child could no longer grow up like a normal child, and his mind had been completely destroyed by the Japanese army, so they agreed to his request.

The old people on the mountain also participated in the battle, and their "way of participating in the battle" was silent and desolate.

On the fourth day after the old people came to the mountain, Li Xi received a report that some old people went on hunger strike.

Li Xi hurried over, and he saw a basement where the old people were housed. More than 300 old people were lying neatly on the ground, chatting in low voices, and the women in charge of delivering food to them were at a loss. "Mr. Li, they refuse to eat, what should we do?" Li Xi asked eagerly: "Masters, why don't you eat?" An old man said angrily: "Children, why don't you eat?" We know that the reason why the Japanese drove us here is to use our old lives to consume your food. We don’t eat, and we save the food for you. You young people need food more than us. You can only eat when you are full. Beating the Japanese, our old life is useless, and we can't beat the devils and add burden to you, we have no face to eat, let us end it ourselves!"

Li Xi burst into tears immediately, he choked up and said: "We...we can hold on..." He didn't know what to say.

The old people are very stubborn and stubborn, and they are determined not to eat.

During the entire war, most of the old people on Wulong Mountain supported the troops by going on hunger strike in order to save food for the troops. More than [-] old people died of malnutrition.

The Japanese army hardly captured a defender prisoner in the Battle of Wulong Mountain. On February 2, the Japanese army captured a defender captain who was unconscious due to serious injuries on the battlefield.

Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro, the head of the division, ordered the captain to be sent to him in an attempt to obtain information. When the captain saw Lieutenant General Itagaki, he laughed and said: "Japanese, you now know how difficult it is to conquer China. ? You can’t even take down such a small hill that is only tens of meters high, and you still want to conquer China?”

Lieutenant General Itagaki was speechless.

The captain refused to receive medical treatment from the Japanese army, tore off all the bandages that the Japanese army had put on him, and finally died of his injuries.

The defenders of Wulong Mountain fought so hard that they were almost exhausted. It was not until February 2, when the continuous rain and snow finally cleared up, that Wulong Mountain received its first strong reinforcements.

Amidst the roar of the fleet resounding through the sky, more than 100 Chinese Air Force planes appeared over Wulong Mountain, half of which were BF-109 fighter jets and half of which were Ju-52 transport planes. In the firepower network of the Japanese anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the fighter group covered the sky. The transport fleet hovered over Wulong Mountain to carry out airdrops of materials. After the first batch of airdrops, the fleet returned to the flight immediately, and then airdropped again. During this day, a total of four airdrops were airdropped, and a total of more than 200 tons of materials were airdropped to Wulong Mountain. In the hands of the army, half of it is ammunition, and the other half is food, medicine, cigarettes, etc., all of which are urgently needed by the defenders.

During the last airdrop, some ju-52 transport planes flew over the heads of the Japanese army besieging Wulong Mountain and dropped more than ten tons of bombs, causing the Japanese army to run wild and run away, which greatly boosted the morale of the defenders ( The ju-52 transport aircraft can be used as a guest bomber, because when it was developed, it assumed the task of exploring and developing bombers for the Luftwaffe, and the passenger compartment/cargo compartment in the belly of the aircraft could be replaced with a bomb bay in a short time.

).

"What do you need?" Teacher Li Yutang contacted Luo Long by radio.

"Soldier!" Luo Long said succinctly, "As well as heavy firepower, we need artillery and bombers!"

Li Yutang was silent for a while, and replied: "Sorry, I can't give you these three things!"

The Nanjing Army currently has these three things, but they cannot participate in the Battle of Wulong Mountain.

The heavy artillery and bombers that Germany aided the Chinese army have arrived at the Nanjing battlefield one after another (not necessarily in the city of Nanjing). However, in order to launch a counterattack, the Nanjing army needs to hide its strength and cannot send heavy artillery and bombers to reinforce Wulong Mountain. The planes are all used as guest transport planes. In addition, the Nanjing Army can also increase its troops at Wulong Mountain at this time, but it cannot be put into action.

In the garrison headquarters, Jiang Weiguo was receiving Major Hu Qiao, the deputy head of the "First Air Assault Regiment of the Chinese Air Force" (paratrooper regiment), which was secretly formed two months ago: "How are you getting ready?"

Hu Qiao replied vigorously: "Everything is ready, ready to go!" He said with fiery eyes, "Seeing that the brothers in the army and the navy of the Nanjing Army are so heroic, our Air Force paratroopers have long Gearing up, can't wait! The Air Force Command has issued an order that our paratrooper regiment has been included in the Nanjing Army's combat sequence, deputy commander, please give an order!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled heartily: "Don't worry! It's time for you to flex your muscles!" Before the Battle of Nanjing, Xiao Yao suggested to Jiang Weiguo to establish an airborne force of the Chinese army. He considered that Nanjing City would most likely be surrounded by Japanese troops Surrounded, the foreign army can use the transport fleet to drop troops and supplies into the city of Nanjing, so as to resupply.

Jiang Weiguo bought a large number of transport planes from Germany before the war, mainly for airlift, not for airdrop, but the conditions for the establishment of airborne troops (paratroopers) were met.

In fact, Hu Qiao's paratrooper regiment is definitely not the airborne troops of later generations in the strict sense, but is essentially "infantry that fell from the sky", but it also created a precedent in military history (in the original history, the first paratroopers of the National Army The unit was formally established in early 1944).

"Great! Great!" Hu Qiao trembled with excitement.

"How many people in your regiment?" Jiang Weiguo asked.

"More than 1500 people have been trained, and there are still more than 1000 people in training!" Hu Qiao replied, "Although the number of people is not large, I guarantee that all of them are elites! We have only trained for two months as deputy participants. In order to have actual combat ability as soon as possible, our training can be said to be devil training. On average, five people are killed or seriously injured or disabled due to training accidents every day. After two months, there are almost 300 brothers... Alas!" He bit Gritting his teeth, his eyes were moist, "Brothers are doing a great job! Persist in the bones, grit your teeth and survive until today, just to set foot on the battlefield and serve the country!"

Jiang Weiguo felt very heavy and solemn.

The national army formed a paratrooper unit without the guidance of the Germans, because the German army itself did not have a paratrooper unit at this time. General Kurt Student, the "father of the German airborne troops", only formally formed the German army this year (1938). The paratroopers, so in this matter, the national army and the German army were fumbling together (Student is in China right now). Since there is no precedent to follow, the paratroopers of the national army naturally suffered heavy losses in training, and every step There is a price to be paid in blood.

"I believe in you! You are our army's sharp knives in the air!" Jiang Weiguo patted Hu Qiao's shoulder in awe, "Let the Japanese learn how terrible you are!"

"Yes!" Hu Qiao saluted Jiang Weiguo solemnly.

Chapter 305 Iron Counterattack (2)

Fuzhou, the headquarters of the Chinese Navy.

Admiral Chen Shaokuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, and Rear Admiral Wei Zihao, Commander of the Navy Submarine Force, watched with excitement and anticipation a German fleet sailing into the port on the sea surface and a submarine fleet sailing into the submarine base below the sea surface. The cargo ships of the fleet are filled with weapons and equipment, machinery and equipment, and German aid technicians that the Chinese army urgently needs at this time. The submarine formation is a new batch of submarines transferred from the German Navy to the Chinese Navy, which will surely make the Chinese Navy submarine force even more powerful.

Wei Zihao’s military rank before the war was lieutenant colonel, and now he is a major general. The reason why he can rise so quickly is naturally because his submarine force shined brilliantly in the war and achieved brilliant results. Of course, it also caused many controversies (such as sinking the Japanese civilian ships drowned a large number of Japanese civilians, and sank American merchant ships transporting arms and industrial resources to Japan, which caused diplomatic disputes between China and the United States), but Wei Zihao’s backer was Jiang Weiguo, so he was protected by Jiang Weiguo and was promoted step by step.

"Two generals!" A German naval colonel stepped off a German cargo ship, walked to the pier, saluted Chen Shaokuan and Wei Zihao in turn, and handed over a document, "This is the delivery procedure for this batch of military supplies, please sign for receipt !"

"Thank you!" Chen Shaokuan returned the salute and shook hands tightly with the other party.

"Why are there three more ships?" Wei Zihao looked at the document and was very surprised. He looked towards the pier, "Those three cargo ships were transferred to us?"

The German colonel smiled and said, "Yes!"

Wei Zihao was puzzled: "There are no these three cargo ships in the original document? And... German friends, thank you very much for your kindness, but... it is useless for us to ask for cargo ships! You know that, we The coastline of China was monitored and blocked by the Japanese navy. Larger tonnage ships would be attacked by Japanese destroyers or submarines. The only way was to drive them into the inner lake of the Yangtze River to protect them. However, the estuary of the Yangtze River is now under the control of the Japanese army. So there's no use for us to keep large ships out in the open..."

The German colonel laughed: "No! These three cargo ships are not real cargo ships, they are warships!"

"A warship?" Both Wei Zihao and Chen Shaokuan were taken aback, "How do you say that?"

The German colonel smiled and said: "You China and Japan are at war. China is a land power with a weak navy. Japan is an island country with a strong navy. Therefore, the situation between China and Japan is very similar to that of our Germany and the United Kingdom. Therefore, China The Japanese naval battle is of great enlightenment and reference value to the German and British naval battle. Therefore, we attach great importance to how your Chinese navy is dealing with the Japanese navy. The valuable experience you have gained through actual combat is very important to us.

How will the German Navy deal with the British Navy and the British Three Islands in the future?We want to learn how you deal with the Japanese navy and the four Japanese islands at this time.

To put it bluntly, the Sino-Japanese battlefield is a test field for our German army's new weapons, new tactics, and new ideas.

Right now, you and we both attach great importance to submarines. The Sino-Japanese naval battle has also proved that this tactic is indeed very effective. Therefore, we have become more and more unswerving in developing submarines.

In addition, submarines need auxiliary warships. Although submarines can travel thousands of miles across the ocean, they need bases for supplies. You have also seen that your naval bases are extremely easy to be blocked by the Japanese Navy. If so, how will your submarines get supplies? ?In the extended waters of the base, there are Japanese warships waiting for a rabbit. Wouldn’t the submarines returning to the base for resupply fall into the trap?Therefore, another method is needed to resupply the submarine, which is the supply ship.

With the supply ship, the scope of activities, activity cycle, and combat time of the submarine can be greatly expanded. However, if our supply ship appears in the warring sea area, wouldn't it become a living target for the enemy warship?Therefore, the supply ship must be armed and equipped, and must be disguised as a civilian merchant ship!"

"I see..." Wei Zihao and Chen Shaokuan suddenly realized.

The German colonel pointed to the three ships that looked like genuine civilian merchant ships moored at the pier: "Our German navy has considered and launched experiments in this area, transforming three civilian ships into submarine supply ships, in order to test the actual combat effect , so they are all sent to China as a gift to you, the only requirement is that you can share combat data and combat intelligence with us.

The three civilian ships are Atlantis, Orion, and Vedel, all of which have a tonnage of more than 15000 tons. They are equipped with naval guns, machine guns, torpedo tubes, mines, seaplanes and seaplane catapults. , The endurance is very strong, it can not only provide supplies for the submarine, but also fight alone.

We present them to you, and hope that you can help us test the feasibility of our new weapons, new tactics, and new ideas in actual combat!" (Note: This kind of ship is the "auxiliary cruiser" used by Germany during World War II , transformed from a large civilian merchant ship/cargo ship, the mission is to disguise as a third-party civilian ship to operate on the high seas, provide supplies for submarines operating in the ocean, attack enemy ships, and destroy the enemy's maritime transportation lines. A total of 11 ships have been built. Generally achieved relatively satisfactory results, sinking and capturing a large number of enemy ships, the most famous of which are the "Penguin" and "Cormorant".

）

"Okay! Thank you! Thank you!" Wei Zihao and Chen Shaokuan excitedly shook hands with each other.

Leaning on two crutches with great difficulty, Zhang Yun limped to the wharf beside the Dashengguan River, staring longingly at the dark Yangtze River under the night.

In the steep river wind, there was a slight sound of motors and the roar of the stirred up river. Zhang Yun was delighted to see two fleets approaching from different directions. One came from the upper reaches of Nanjing City. It consists of more than ten tugboats and barges, one from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, consisting of a destroyer, four gunboats, and more than ten merchant ships and cargo ships.

Both Wuhan and Chongqing have medium-sized shipyards. They cannot build warships, but they can build military boats (torpedo boats, gunboats) and transport ships. The torpedo boats are all of the Wasp class, and the gunboats are all of the Xianning class. The Xianning class gunboats are self-made in China. It has better performance and is very useful in the inner lake of the Yangtze River (there were 4 ships at the beginning, Xianning, Yongsui, Minquan, and Minsheng, all of which had a displacement of more than 400 tons. All four boats were sunk in the Hangzhou Bay naval battle, but The blueprints are still there.

).

"Thank God, it's finally here!" Zhang Yun heaved a sigh of relief. His Dasheng Pass needed reinforcements and assistance too much.

The upstream fleet came from Nanjing, commanded by Ouyang Sihai, fully loaded with personnel, and the downstream fleet from Wuhan, commanded by Yu Shihang, was fully loaded with ammunition. Both fleets were under blackout to prevent the Japanese army from discovering and firing. The two sides met at Dasheng Pass.

"My navy masters! I'm looking forward to you!" Zhang Yun couldn't help but greet him.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and do things!" Ouyang Sihai and Yu Shihang were too lazy to talk, and Ouyang Sihai greeted his fleet: "Those who are ordered to Dasheng Pass, get off the ship!" Yu Shihang said to The people on his fleet greeted: "Hurry up and unload the ammunition!"

Zhang Yun looked overjoyed at the full load of personnel in Ouyang Sihai's fleet and the full load of ammunition in Yu Shihang's fleet: "Brother Wei is so kind to me! He sent so many personnel and ammunition!"

Ouyang Sihai and Yu Shihang scoffed together.

In Ouyang Sihai's fleet, only about a quarter of the personnel disembarked and were incorporated into the Dasheng Pass Guards. Zhang Yun was immediately disappointed: "That's it?" He pointed to a group of soldiers who disembarked, "These are militiamen. Bar?"

The leader of the militia crowd, a young captain full of anger on Facebook, saluted Zhang Yun: "Yu Youhan, captain of the Seventh Militia Battalion of the Nanjing Army, reports to Commander Zhang!"

Zhang Yun looked at Yu Youhan with a look of tasteless eyes: "Are you really militiamen?"

Yu Youhan nodded: "Most of them are students, student soldiers!" He immediately held his head high, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang! Although we are militiamen and student soldiers, our spirit and courage to kill the enemy and serve the country will never lose to the veterans of the regular army Yes! We have all assisted in the war on different positions, seen blood, and many of them killed the Japanese army!"

Zhang Yun said helplessly: "Spirit and courage are not enough, you also need combat skills!" He pulled Ouyang Sihai over, "Brother, what's going on? You have so many people on board, why are you allocating so much to me? Just a thousand people! How is that enough? Also, why are they all militiamen? And student soldiers? I want veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles!"

Ouyang Sihai laughed and said: "You old man, don't be picky eaters. It's not like you don't know that the Nanjing Army has already lost half of its brothers. The manpower is getting smaller and smaller. The defense line is going to be fully contracted. Now they have to prepare for a counterattack. How can there be such a thing?" How many veterans support you? Do you want veterans? Okay, go to the hospital for wounded soldiers, wait patiently for a month or two, and you will be guaranteed that thousands of veterans who have experienced many battles will recover and return to you!"
