I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Zhang Yun became more and more helpless. He looked at Yu Shihang on the side: "Hey! Give me more ammunition! Especially cannons, the more the better!" But he saw that only one-fifth of the ammunition in Yu Shihang's fleet had been unloaded. Dashengguan Wharf couldn't help complaining, "Dude, don't be so stingy, okay? How come the navy is more stingy than the other?"

"Stingy with your size!" Yu Shihang said angrily, "Most of them are going to be sent to the city of Nanjing, but your army needs ammunition? You have unloaded more than 800 million rounds of bullets alone, isn't that enough? People from Wulong Mountain The defenders can only rely on airlifts to drop ammunition by air, and you will not die of hunger or food, you are much happier than others!"

Ouyang Sihai's fleet transported more than 100 people from Nanjing, only [-] people were sent to Dasheng Pass, and more than [-] people were transported out of Nanjing City. Those who were sent to Dasheng Pass were all infantry , militia, and more than [-] artillery gunners were transported out of Nanjing City with experienced armored soldiers, artillery, and elite infantry. A large amount of ammunition was transported, only one-fifth was sent to Dasheng Pass for replenishment, and the rest were transported into Nanjing City and handed over to other units of the Nanjing Army. This move was also a preparation for the launch of a counterattack.

In fact, this is only the first time, and there will be a next time, and the next time.

After the German ammunition was sent, it was roughly divided into three parts. One part was sent to Wuhan to arm the peripheral national army, and two parts were added to the Nanjing Army (these two parts were transported first, because China's transportation was underdeveloped at this time, So the munitions sent to Wuhan are actually still in Fuzhou, Ningbo and other ports), and these two parts are divided into two, half of which are sent to Nanjing by the navy fleet, and half are temporarily placed outside Nanjing. The former is mainly heavy artillery, a weapon for defending the city , the latter is mainly a tank, the king of field battles.

Because there is no point in transporting tanks into the city, the tanks were placed outside the city. At the same time, the fleet transported the armored soldiers of the Nanjing Army out of the city (the Nanjing Army did not have many tanks at this time, and most of the armored soldiers were diverted to artillery or infantry or counterattack. Tank Corps), rebuild armored units outside the city.

Armored soldiers should naturally launch a lightning-fast assault on the field, instead of participating in defensive warfare, positional warfare, and urban warfare.

After unloading personnel and ordnance at Dashengguan, Ouyang Sihai and Yu Shihang were about to leave. Zhang Yun held Yu Shihang, winked and said: "Brother, give me more weapons! Those howitzers are very good, and those flame jets uh..." His greedy eyes lit up.

Yu Shihang threw Zhang Yun away with a smile on his face: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? How much I give you is determined by your superiors. I don't have the right to open the back door for you. Without ammunition, how can I write a report?"

Zhang Yun said: "You said in the report that you were intercepted by a Japanese destroyer, a ship was sunk, and all the munitions on it sank into the Yangtze River. Brother, next time I will also get you a Japanese general-level commander." Officer's saber, or get you a Japanese sissy..."

Yu Shihang was both angry and funny: "Shut your crow's mouth! Don't really encounter a Japanese destroyer..."

"Japanese destroyer!" A gunboat on alert issued an alarm at the top of its lungs.

"Fuck!" Yu Shihang, Ouyang Sihai, Zhang Yun and other officers were stunned together, and then shouted, "Get ready to fight!"

The actions of the Nanjing Army at Dashengguan did not deceive the Japanese army in Wujiang Town on the opposite bank of the Yangtze River and the Japanese troops who besieged Dashengguan. The Japanese Yangtze River Fleet received the report immediately, and a Japanese destroyer of the Bailu class came to check through the Xiaguan Wharf. The sharp searchlight beams shined from the ship, clearly illuminating the Nanjing fleet that was "sneaky and sneaky".

The national army was caught off guard, and the Japanese army was taken aback, and then terrified, because the gunboats and torpedo boats guarding the river surface had swarmed up.

Knowing the attack power of the torpedo boats of the national army, the Japanese destroyer had no intention of fighting, and called for reinforcements while firing guns (did not turn around to escape, because the Yangtze River was too narrow to use it, and once turned around, it would expose the side of the ship to the torpedo shells of the national army ), and soon, the light cruiser Kitakami belonging to the Kuma class came murderously on the waves, and a brief but fierce river battle broke out between the two sides.

In the National Army Fleet, four gunboats and more than a dozen torpedo boats charged forward courageously, attracting the attention of the Japanese ships while bursting into thunder and firing thunderbolts, and the transport ships withdrew one after another. , the torpedo tube launched two torpedoes fiercely, hitting the bow of the Kitakami. In an instant, the steel body of the Kitakami was lightning, thunder, and flames shot into the sky. Two huge holes were blasted into the main armor belt, and the river seemed to be running loose Roaring like a herd of wild horses, the tortoise shell-like cracks radiated out with the explosion hole as the center, almost shattering Kitakami's bow.

Seeing this scene, Yu Shihang, Ouyang Sihai and other national army officers and soldiers were surprised and delighted: "Damn it! The torpedo of the little devil really lives up to its reputation! It's so powerful!"

The heavily damaged Kitakami struggled in a dizzy state while trying its best to fire and launch torpedoes at the Weiguo that was attacking it. Due to the haste, the first wave of main artillery shells all missed, passed over the Weiguo, and all fell on the ground. On the Dashengguan position, hundreds of defenders were killed and wounded, and the four torpedoes fired were not adjusted due to panic. One was missing, and the other accidentally hit the transport ship Mingui behind the Weiguo (the ship belonged to the Minsheng Shipping Company), and the powerful oxygen torpedo immediately blew up the Mingui. Fortunately, the munitions carried on the ship have basically been unloaded to Dashengguan, without causing too many losses and casualties.

During the fierce battle, Yu Shihang ordered the radio communication soldiers on the ship: "Send a telegram to the Zijin Mountain artillery group immediately! The artillery fire covers here! Damn it! The devil's cruiser seems to be unable to move much, hit it hard!"

Because the bow of the Kitakami was blown apart by a torpedo, the navigation of the Kitakami was greatly affected. Once it started to move rapidly, the river water pouring into the ship would become more and more violent, so it had to turn back slowly.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Yecheng, the commander of the Tianbaoshan artillery group in Zijin Mountain, has received an urgent call from Yu Shihang. He hastily mobilized the two 330mm naval guns on Tianbaoshan to start blasting. Five rounds of continuous bombardment, four of the ten shells hit the Kitakami, blasting four earth-shattering lightning fireballs, the first shell blew up the No. [-] chimney of the Kitakami, and the whole ship was billowing with thick smoke and black fog , the second shell destroyed the bridge located in the middle and front, and the flesh and blood flew all over the place. The third shell blew up a main ship turret to the river surface dozens of meters away, and the fourth shell hit the bridge at the rear. Seaplane catapult.

Kitakami was full of fire and black smoke, the hull fell apart, and the fire spread out of control. Due to the raging fire on the ship, it was very eye-catching in the dark night at this time. The bombardment shells completely blew it into a ball of burning scrap iron floating on the Yangtze River, and did not sink into the Yangtze River until the next morning. The three Japanese destroyers participating in the battle at the same time had to give up the battle and fled back upstream in fear.

"We lost 3 torpedo boats and 2 gunboats, and replaced them with 1 light cruiser for the Devils. It's a huge profit!" After counting the losses and results, both Yu Shihang and Ouyang Sihai were extremely proud.

Due to the outstanding performance of the national army and the navy, the Japanese army knew that the Nanjing army was receiving blood transfusions, but basically had nothing to do with it.

After the equipment and personnel were in place, the "steel counterattack" planned by Jiang Weiguo officially kicked off.

Chapter 306 Iron Counterattack (3)

"Is this still the front line? It's almost becoming a nursing home, a nursery, and a daughter's country!" Standing on the tower of Guanghua Gate in the southeast of Nanjing City, Jiang Weiguo sighed with a wry smile.

On the road to Guanghuamen, several teams of military police from the Nanjing Military Police Corps are arranging for a group of civilians to enter the city in order. The total number of people is no less than 5000. Children under the age of 60 (male and female), the other half are basically women, ranging from young girls to young women, from girls to aunts, there are almost no young and middle-aged men, so rare that even if there are, they are missing arms and legs handicapped.

The matter is not complicated. These old and weak women and children were all captured and collected by the Japanese army from various places in southern Jiangsu, and then stuffed into Nanjing City, thereby consuming the food, medicine and other daily necessities of the Nanjing Army.

The Japanese army was already familiar with and experienced in doing this. These old and weak women and children were sent to Nanjing in the name of "voluntary repatriation", and they starved deliberately and maliciously for a day or two before rushing to the confrontation between the Nanjing army and the Japanese army. After finishing the work in the zone, although they didn't fight or scold, they put on a posture of letting them fend for themselves.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army were fully aware of the sinister and despicable intentions of the Japanese army, but there was nothing they could do.

These refugees were driven by the Japanese army to the confrontation zone between the two armies. They were shivering and miserable. They were extremely miserable because of the hunger and cold. The front was the national army camp, and the back was the Japanese army camp. There was no third way. The refugees naturally flocked to the country. Originally, some troops were hard-hearted and refused to accept them, but the refugees cried loudly in the cold, wind and snow, mourning everywhere, and were extremely miserable. They were cold, hungry, fearful and desperate. In order to find a way out, the refugees People knelt down and cried and begged all over the mountains and plains, especially those women with children in their arms and frightened children, who were drenched in the cold, rain and snow, their faces were blue with cold, and they were shaking with hunger. It is also difficult for soldiers to accept this picture, so they have to accept it.

As a result, the refugees driven by the Japanese army poured into the city of Nanjing with the momentum of breaking the embankment and flooding. Every day, there are as few as 3000 to [-], and some as many as [-] to [-]. mouths to eat, and the number is increasing day by day.

In the city of Nanjing, you can see gray-haired, senile old people in their sixties everywhere, babbling, ignorant children, and women of all ages. As Jiang Weiguo said, "Where Nanjing is still a battlefield, it will soon become a nursing home. Nursery school, daughter's country."

Jiang Weiguo had nothing to do about the Japanese army's conspiracy. It was impossible for him to stand idly by and watch the suffering of his compatriots.

Although the Yangtze River Fleet of the Navy can transport civilians out of Nanjing, the fleet needs to transport soldiers, munitions, and supplies to the army, and there is no spare capacity to transport civilians.

Putting away his annoyance and resentment, Jiang Weiguo took Xiao Yao, Huang Wei, Du Yuming, Zheng Dongguo, Liu Fengling, Yi Shuihan and other officers to Jinchuan Gate in the north of Nanjing City to inspect the reorganized 77th Division's armored troops. On an open field near the Jinchuan Gate, hundreds of tanks were neatly parked, all covered with white cloth or straw to prevent Japanese aircraft from finding out. Snow crushed ice, flying sand and rocks, which made the officers who saw this scene feel refreshed and proud.

"Finally there are tanks again!" Du Yuming sighed.

"With so many tanks, it's enough for the Japanese to have a good drink!" Zheng Dongguo was very excited.

"It's a pity, we can't produce tanks by ourselves now!" Liu Fengling said regretfully, "We have to rely on the blood transfusions from the Germans. Once the blood transfusion vessels are cut off by the little devils, we will be in trouble!"

"Don't worry! It's coming soon!" Jiang Weiguo said with a smile, "Our domestic tanks will come out soon!"

"Oh? Really?" The officers were all excited.

Huang Wei sighed: "After the next counterattack, I really don't know how many of these tanks will be left!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo and smiled wryly, "Jianhao, you, everything is good, but it's too profligate. No matter the cost, the war will be extravagant!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Master, war is a waste of money! How can you beat the enemy if you don't want to part with your money?" He knew well that the reason why his troops were able to achieve brilliant results in the war against Japan was a big reason for their wealth and wealth. The reason is that if it is millet plus a rifle, Jiang Weiguo really has no confidence in winning the battle.

Although the theory of only weapons is wrong, without good guns and enough ammunition, it is really difficult to win a battle, let alone win a big battle.

After the inspection, Jiang Weiguo left with everyone, and then went to his office with Xiao Yao to study the battle plan. Half an hour later, Liu Qihu, the station chief of the Nanjing Station of the Maritime Bureau, hurried to the door of Jiang Weiguo's office, knocked on the door and pushed the door away. Entry: "Secretary! The 'something' requested by the vice-counselor is here!" He paused, and added, "It happened 10 minutes ago!"

Jiang Weiguo's face suddenly became gloomy and unbearable, while Xiao Yao nodded calmly: "The specific situation!"

Liu Qihu reported: "The deceased Yao Zhongying, a major general, served as the deputy commander of the major general of the 88st Brigade of the 201th Division of the Nanjing Army. Ten minutes ago..." He looked at his watch, "February 10 at 2:9 p.m. They died for the country on the Longwang Mountain position in the east of Zijin Mountain.

目前，已知道姚将军殉国一事者只有第88师师长宋希濂、第201旅旅长高致嵩、第201旅第211团团长潘裕昆，以及姚将军当时身边的3名参谋军官、2名副官、11名卫兵!”

Jiang Weiguo sighed, "How did General Yao die in battle?"

Liu Qihu reported: "When General Yao went to inspect the Longwangshan position, he happened to encounter the 18th Regiment of the 55th Division of the Japanese Army launching an attack. Pan Tuanzuo sent someone to escort General Yao to evacuate. General Yao sternly refused, and he went to the first line of fire He supervised the battle to boost morale, and even led the guard platoon to engage in close combat and hand-to-hand combat with a group of Japanese soldiers who broke into the position, and personally killed two Japanese soldiers. As a result...Because they were too close, General Yao was hit by a Japanese machine gun bullet, He was shot five times, one of which was hit in the head, and died for the country on the spot!"

Jiang Weiguo was very sad: "Where is General Yao from?"

Liu Qihu said: "General Yao is a native of Pingyuan County, Guangdong Province, the second phase of Huangpu. He participated in the Eastern Expedition and Northern Expedition. He is 41 years old this year!"

Jiang Weiguo became more and more sad: "I must send General Yao's body to his hometown for a proper burial, so that the fathers and villagers in Pingyuan County will remember their hero!"

"Before sending General Yao's body back to his hometown for burial, let's make full use of it first!" Xiao Yao said in a strange tone, and looked at Liu Qihu, "How is the secrecy work done?"

Liu Qihu immediately reported: "Song Shizuo, Gaoluzuo, and Pan Tuanzuo have all received our notice and will strictly not disclose the news that General Yao has died in battle. General Yao originally had 5 staff officers and 3 The adjutant, 28 guards, and 2 staff officers, 1 adjutant, and 17 guards were all martyred in the fierce battle, and the remaining 16 were gathered by us to prevent them from communicating with the outside world.

Right now, only Song Shizuo, Gao Luzuo, Pan Tuanzuo, 16 people around General Yao, myself, and my 8 reliable confidantes are the only ones who know about this matter. You!"

"Where are the Japanese?" Xiao Yao asked calmly.

Liu Qihu replied: "General Yao had already taken off his major general's uniform when he went to the front line of Longwang Mountain, and changed into a captain's uniform. There were 37 Japanese soldiers in that group, and after inspection, all 37 Japanese soldiers died in the trench where General Yao died for his country!"

Xiao Yao looked at Liu Qihu: "What I want is 'drip-tight'!"

Liu Qihu solemnly said: "I dare to use my head to guarantee that this matter will be 'watertight'!"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Very good.

If this counterattack is successful, you and the Nanjing Station of the Maritime Bureau will make the first contribution!"

After deciding to launch a "medium-scale, high-intensity, mechanized local counterattack" on the Nanjing battlefield, Xiao Yao immediately found Liu Qihu and gave him an unimaginable task: "I need a corpse, a fresh one that has just died. Corpse, the higher the rank the better, the lowest colonel, the better the major general, the better the lieutenant general!"

Liu Qihu was sweating hotly when he heard it: "I know!"

Xiao Yao instructed: "Any more officers of the rank of colonel or above are killed on the Nanjing battlefield, immediately seal the news to me and never let it out, and transport the corpses to me immediately without stopping!"

Liu Qihu was in a cold sweat when he heard it: "Okay, I got it!"

Right now, Liu Qihu finally successfully and perfectly completed the task assigned to him by Xiao Yao.

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Weiguo, Xiao Yao, and Liu Qihu came to a private house closely guarded by agents of the Maritime Administration in the area controlled by the National Army near Longwangshan. The 15 staff officers, 3 adjutants, 2 guards, and 11 people were extremely angry.

After seeing Jiang Weiguo's arrival, although the 16 people remained polite, they were all furious.

Jiang Weiguo looked very sad. He saw that Yao Zhongying's military uniform was full of shocking bullet holes, bloodstained, and his flesh turned out. Looking at Yao Zhongying's remains, his eyes were closed and his face was pale. People who lost too much blood were covered with skin after death. Pale as paper.

Jiang Weiguo stood at attention solemnly, saluted Yao Zhongying's body, and then bowed: "General Yao, you can go! Your blood will not be shed in vain. Your blood will be poured together with the blood of countless martyrs like you, and finally become ours. victory.

General Yao, on the day Japan surrenders, I will give you the victory news in front of your grave. You can wait for it with peace of mind! "

After all, tears filled Jiang Weiguo's eyes, he was definitely not acting, he was expressing his true feelings from the bottom of his heart.

Because China's victory in the Anti-Japanese War relied on the blood of countless true patriots like Yao Zhongying who went on and on and regarded death as home.

A major with the highest rank among the 16 people at the scene couldn't bear it and said: "Deputy Jiang, what is going on? Why was General Yao transported here instead of collecting his body and holding a funeral? Even his The military uniform that has been smashed by the devil's machine gun, full of blood and bullet holes will not be replaced by him! Also, why are we inexplicably disarmed and imprisoned here?" He said, glaring at the person who did it Liu Qihu and the other 15 people also glared at Liu Qihu.

"Because there is an extremely important task to be entrusted to you!" Xiao Yao said, his tone was flat but very heavy, and he looked at the major and other 16 people in a meaningful tone, "Since you are members of the Nanjing Army, you should Do you still remember the special nature of this unit of the Nanjing Army?"

"Of course I remember!" The major said solemnly, "We are dead soldiers, the army that will die in Nanjing!"

"Very good!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Now, the time has come for you to die for your country.

Please rest assured that your death will be very valuable and meaningful. Each of you will be buried with at least [-] Japanese people, and each of your families will receive your two-year salary as a special subsidy and pension.

have you understood?Anyone willing to join please let me know!"

Jiang Weiguo hardly dared to look up at the sixteen people. He just heard sixteen voices of "I am willing", "I understand" and "I join" after ten seconds of silence.

More than 40 minutes later, at 5 o'clock in the evening, Liyu Mountain, one kilometer south of Qixia Mountain, was the see-saw area between the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army.

After capturing Longtan Town, the 5th Division of the Japanese Army moved west quickly, trying to seize several important strongholds in the north of Nanjing City, but was immediately intercepted by the 99nd Brigade of the 2th Division of the Nanjing Army at Qixia Mountain. Both the tank unit and the mechanized supply unit were destroyed by the Wulong Mountain Fort, so the Japanese army only captured Liyu Mountain, a small hill near Qixia Mountain, as a bridgehead, and failed to really kill the northern part of Nanjing City. Right now, between Qixia Mountain and Liyu Mountain This one-kilometer area became a place where the two armies saw, competed, and confronted. Because Liyu Mountain was very important to the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro specially sent a reinforced infantry brigade and an artillery brigade to stand here. In addition, the 5th Cavalry Regiment of the division was also transferred to Liyu Mountain for mobile cruising to assist in operations.

Amidst the dense and deep sound of horseshoes, the captain of the 5th Cavalry Regiment, Kobori Shishige, was leading more than 600 cavalry from his regiment to patrol around Liyu Mountain.

The Japanese cavalry in the team are all short in stature, but the horses under their crotch are mighty and powerful, because the Japanese army attaches great importance to cavalry, and the horses are all Oriental horses that have been improved after introducing excellent horse breeds from the West and the Middle East. In the Japanese army, the "noble status" of the cavalry is second only to aviation pilots. According to the establishment, a cavalry regiment of the Japanese army generally has 4 cavalry squadrons and 1 machine gun squadron, with a total of 1400 people, but in fact it is far from The 5th Cavalry Regiment originally had more than 800 cavalry before entering the war, and there are still more than 600 at this time, which is already very full in terms of establishment.

"Cheer up!" Kobori Dazuo saw that the cavalry in the team were already showing signs of fatigue, and shouted loudly, "In half an hour, it will be dark, and the Chinese Army is likely to launch a sneak attack under the cover of night! Carp The mountain is very important, if it is lost, the Chinese army in Qixia Mountain can help Wulong Mountain, once Wulong Mountain receives great assistance, our entire division may be expelled from Longtan Town again!" He said, using a little He said in a calm tone, "I know that everyone is very tired. In fact, every soldier of the imperial army on the Nanjing battlefield is very tired. We must grit our teeth, overcome difficulties, and overcome exhaustion!"

"Hay!" There was a loud response from the team.

A low-pitched car roar suddenly came from not far away. Kobori was taken aback. He immediately looked with wide eyes. He saw a pile of small dirt slopes in front of him and suddenly turned around. They looked at each other more than 300 meters away, and then the two military vehicles turned around like crazy and drove away.

"It's the car of the Chinese Army!" Kobori Dazuo's heart skipped a beat, because he saw the military emblem sprayed on the military car, and he shouted sharply in a flash of inspiration, "Catch up! The machine gun fires!"
