I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

In this battle in Xiajiaao, more than 170 officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army Sheng Zhiyong took the initiative to attack more than 200 Japanese troops. Relying on courage, determination, light weapons that had some advantages over the Japanese army, pre-emptive raids, and Japanese misjudgments, he fought hard The Japanese army was defeated, more than 190 Japanese soldiers were eliminated, and more than 140 officers and soldiers were killed or injured.

"Although my company is almost gone, we have made money! And we are worthy of our responsibilities and mission!" Sheng Zhiyong said.

This is a microcosm of the Dashengguan battlefield.

In this Dashengguan counterattack, the defenders of Dashengguan became "outsiders" instead. The 16th Division originally besieged Dashengguan day and night, but right now, the Japanese army cannot protect itself and will definitely not continue to attack Dashengguan. , not only gave up the attack on Dashengguan, but also shrunk the line of defense and switched from offense to defense.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Yun, commander of the Dasheng Guan Shoujun, said angrily: "So many brothers are desperately fighting outside! Can we just do it like this and watch? Brothers, attack! Kill the Japanese!"

"Kill the Japanese!" The earth-shattering roar resounded through the Dashengguan Fortress.

"Bring the seeds, go out with me to kill the Japanese!" Deputy Commander Wu Junyi shouted.

The officers and soldiers responded like a cloud, shouting angrily: "Attack! Kill the Japanese!"

Qi Zeyuan, chief of staff of the fortress, said to Zhang Yun and Wu Junyi: "We are short of troops now, and we may be able to get some results by taking the initiative to attack, but we must also consider the defense of the fortress, and we must leave some troops behind!"

Zhang Yun agreed with Qi Zeyuan's opinion. He left a thousand militiamen behind, and then he and Wu Junyi personally led more than two thousand officers and soldiers out of the fortress, and threw themselves into the battle without hesitation.

The bloody battle lasted all night. At dawn, the southern battlefield was littered with corpses. The total strength of the 16th Division in the encirclement had dropped from 4000 to more than 16. More than [-] Japanese troops were captured by the Nanjing Army before dawn. Killed, wounded, and scattered, but the mood of Jiang Weiguo and other high-level officials fell to the bottom at dawn, because the weather in Nanjing changed from light rain at night to heavy rain during the day, Jiang Weiguo carefully prepared for the [-]th Division. The bomber was suddenly unable to dispatch.

Chapter 313 Iron Counterattack (10)

"The sky is not beautiful!" Huang Wei slapped the table fiercely and resentfully. He looked at the pouring rain outside the headquarters with a heartbroken heart.

Jiang Weiguo was smoking a cigarette, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. He really wanted to yell at God: "What are you doing? Why are you raining so much? Are you the God of China or the God of Japan? You enjoy it on the land of China. The incense offerings of the Chinese, how come they help the Japanese at the critical moment? Can’t you delay the rain for two days? I’ll go to your uncle!” But his heart was still more painful and anxious, and it started to rain heavily The hundreds of bombers of the National Army Air Force could no longer bombard the Japanese army indiscriminately. It rained heavily, and the ground was full of muddy puddles.

The two major advantages of the Nanjing Army were lost with this heavy rain, and the difficulty of gathering and annihilating the 16th Division will naturally be made worse.

"Jian pickaxe!" Huang Weike suppressed the regret and unwillingness in his heart. He looked at Jiang Weiguo, his tone and expression were very eager, "According to our original battle plan, we will use tank groups to tear apart the second half of the night in the second half of yesterday and the first half of today. The defense area of ​​the 16th Division, at the same time dispatched the 417th Special Operations Battalion to destroy the division headquarters of Nakajima, and now dispatched the air force bomber group to carry out high-intensity air strikes against the chaotic Nakajima Division, three-pronged, quick battle It is very safe to kill the Nakajima Division quickly, but it is a pity that people are not as good as God! It is raining heavily now, and according to this trend, it will not stop until the next day and night. Our tanks are now mired in muddy water. The bombers are lying on the airport and cannot be dispatched. If we continue to fight, we can only use infantry to fight recklessly. However, our purpose of this battle is to fight quickly. If we fight recklessly or fight a war of attrition, it will be very harmful to us. Don't Forget, our gathering and annihilating the Nakajima Division is a field battle. In a field battle, we can only fight one-to-one with the Japanese army, which is not worthwhile! And we have already lost half of our troops, and there are not many mobile troops. After all, we still have We must retain the main force to defend Nanjing City!"

Jiang Weiguo smoked fiercely, he knew what Huang Wei meant.

First of all, the Nanjing Army has 5 dead soldiers, and now has more than 20 casualties. Although more than half of the wounded officers and soldiers can recover before participating in the war, it takes a long time to recuperate. Therefore, the Nanjing Army currently has only 16 regular troops, and its strength is obvious. Not enough, the siege Japanese army has about [-] combatable soldiers at this time; secondly, in terms of combat mode, the Nanjing army is fighting defensive warfare, relying on the advantages of permanent concrete fortifications, artillery mountains, and light weapons, it must be the most cost-effective , basically it can be a one-to-three fight, killing three enemies and self-defeating one. If you fight in the field, you have to leave the fortifications. It is no longer a defensive battle, but a diplomatic battle in the wild. Compared with one, killing one enemy and harming one person, this kind of one-to-one exchange is obviously unfavorable when the Nanjing Army is currently insufficient in strength and far inferior to the Japanese Army; Not enough, the overall front line will shrink. For example, the Wulong Mountain Fortress was voluntarily abandoned due to insufficient troops. It is not easy to squeeze some elite soldiers out of the city to fight in the field, so it is impossible to squeeze out too many troops to go out of the city to fight in the field, so Therefore, if the [-]th Division needs to increase its troops, the Nanjing Army will not be able to squeeze it out.

The Nanjing Army cannot disregard Nanjing City in order to wipe out the 16th Division, and cannot throw all their money into it.

"Jianhao, we have invested almost [-] troops to gather and wipe out the Nakajima Division!" Huang Wei looked at Jiang Weiguo with a sincere expression, "And most of them are veterans and elite soldiers, and a few are recruits and militiamen. The limit can't be squeezed anymore.

I'm worried that with this heavy rain, more troops will be needed to achieve the combat objectives in the Dashengguan Jujuan Battle, but we can't squeeze it out!In addition, the [-] troops are our precious vital forces. If we hadn’t gathered and wiped out the Nakajima Division, and had launched an inescapable war of attrition with the main force of the Japanese reinforcements, and were held back by the Japanese army, then we would have lost a large number of vital forces in vain. The loss outweighs the gain! "

Jiang Weiguo looked at Huang Wei: "Master, you mean..." Huang Wei is the lieutenant general and commander of the 77th Division, and Jiang Weiguo is the colonel and chief of staff of the 77th Division, but everyone knows that the 77th Division's real " The master" is Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo is actually the "teacher commander", and Huang Wei is the chief of staff, because Huang Wei is responsible for leading a group of staff officers to formulate combat plans. and baggage management).

However, Jiang Weiguo respected Huang Wei more. Huang Wei also knew his true identity, and he had no honesty in his heart. He just did his job well without complaint.

"Don't stop, don't accept the chaos!" Huang Wei sighed, "Give up! Give up the battle plan decisively before the troops out of the city and the Japanese army are completely entangled, and withdraw all the troops. At least a large number of troops can be saved. And, The record in this battle is still very satisfactory. You see, the division headquarters of the Nakajima Division was destroyed by Lu Xinrong and the others, and the Nakajima Division was also hit hard. 6000 people is already a great victory worth celebrating!"

"After spending so much money, it's anticlimactic?" Jiang Weiguo clenched his fists, "Master, I can't accept it..."

Huang Wei put his hands on Jiang Weiguo's shoulders with great sympathy: "I understand, but...as an army commander, you must have the decisiveness to give up when you should give up, and you can't use emotions!" He said more and more earnestly. Said, "Jian Hao, let me settle the score for you.

If we simply fight defensively, we can basically achieve a one-to-two, one-to-three, or even one-to-four result. To gather and annihilate the Nakajima Division is a field battle, and the brothers can only fight one-to-one or one-to-one. , before the outbreak of this battle, the Nakajima Division had about 1.8 people. If our plan goes well and we give full play to our army’s advantages in tanks and aircraft, our army will need to pay about 1 casualties to gather and annihilate the Nakajima Division. The ratio is 5:1. However, the political, propaganda, and diplomatic significance of gathering and annihilating one division of the Japanese army can be regarded as the sporadic elimination of two divisions of the Japanese army, that is, 5 Ten thousand people, well, our army has [-] casualties and wiped out [-] Japanese troops. The ratio is as high as one to five, which is very cost-effective, but ah, look at it now, it’s raining heavily, and our tanks and aircraft advantages can’t be used. As time drags on, the Japanese reinforcements will continue to be thrown into the battle, but our strength is tight and we cannot continue to increase our troops. Therefore, it is difficult to gather and annihilate the Nakajima Division, and it is impossible for the [-] troops we have already put into the battle to be completely defeated. Return.

Therefore..." He looked at Jiang Weiguo more and more sincerely, "Jianhao, don't feel uncomfortable, don't be reconciled, give up the plan decisively, and retreat the whole army! "

Jiang Weiguo felt as if he had knocked over the bottle of five flavors. He knew that what Huang Wei said was right, but he really couldn't accept it.

"Ask the brothers at the front line what they mean!" Xiao Yao said, he was giving a compromise path, because he also understood Jiang Weiguo's pain, in fact, he was equally sad.

Speaking of it, this heavy rain was very unfortunate, but there was actually a reason for it, because the timing of the attack was not decided by Jiang Weiguo or Xiao Yao, but by Yao Zhongying.

Xiao Yao needed to use the corpse of a high-ranking officer to "deliver false information to the Japanese army". Naturally, this corpse had to be "fresh" and had just died. If it had been dead for more than ten hours, the corpse would become ossified , the Japanese will definitely see the flaws when they get it.

Therefore, when a high-ranking officer dies on the Nanjing battlefield, the counterattack will start a few hours later. Yao Zhongying died in battle "unfortunately". The method, he can't pick and choose, "wait for the next senior officer who dies at the right time", at that time the arrow was on the string, so he had to send it.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Weiguo sent more than a dozen telegrams to the main commanders on the southern battlefield.

The responses of the officers were surprisingly unanimous, and they all demanded to continue the fight, never to die, to be victorious.

Zhong Song replied: "This group of criminals and blood-debt beast soldiers are already in our encirclement. Is there any reason to retreat without annihilating them all?"

Zheng Dongguo replied: "Masters, attendees, don't worry! We have already bit the Nakajima Division in our mouths, and the next thing we need to do is to chew them up and swallow them, we can do it! Brothers are full of morale and fighting spirit , It’s a pity to abandon the battle plan! Brothers will regret it, and we will also hate it!”

Xie Gangzhe replied: "If you have to retreat because of the overall situation, then you should retreat, but our Marine Corps will fight the Japanese army to the end.

The Anti-Japanese War lasted for more than half a year. The army and air force had impressive records. The navy's fleet, torpedo boats, submarines, and mine-laying troops also performed well. Only our Marine Corps has never been able to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. We are determined not to withdraw! "

Zhao Zhihua replied: "No withdrawal! We must kill the Nakajima Division! Even if we cannot withdraw to the city in the end, we will have no regrets! Soldiers, you should be ready to serve the country anytime and anywhere! Japanese reinforcements come So what? Who is afraid of whom!"

After Huang Wei saw these replies, he couldn't stop smiling wryly. He was a high-ranking man who could "overlook the entire battlefield from a commanding height", so he considered more than the front-line commanders and understood the seriousness of the problem better. Among them, it is implicit that "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear".

"Jianhao, what do you think?" Huang Wei asked Jiang Weiguo helplessly, "I still stick to my opinion!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette again, and after smoking in a muffled voice, he threw away the cigarette butt: "Continue with the battle plan!"

"Ah..." Huang Wei looked at Jiang Weiguo in surprise.

"Three reasons!" Jiang Weiguo said frankly and solemnly, "First, it's a pity to give up; second, I believe in the front-line brothers, if they say they can do it, they will definitely do it; third, once they encounter a strong enemy or face an unfavorable situation It may be wise to retreat immediately, but it will not allow our army to have a real military spirit, that is, the spirit of bravely shining the sword in the face of the enemy!"

"Bright sword?" Huang Wei was puzzled, for him, this was a new word.

Jiang Weiguo thought of the famous novel "Bright Sword" in later generations. Although the story in it is fictitious, many things are indeed worth learning and referring to. , but he has already made the decision of "the devils come to a small team and let's shine the sword, and the devils come to a large team and we will still shine the sword".

Obviously, if the Japanese army came with a small team, Li Yunlong would undoubtedly win and would definitely attack. If the Japanese army came with a large team, Li Yunlong would definitely die if he attacked, but he still wanted to attack. This is Li Yunlong's "spirit of bright sword".

Maybe, this kind of behavior is a little unreasonable, knowing that you are dead, but still attacking?Isn't this the behavior of a fool?However, this kind of suicidal attack is worthwhile, because it will make the army develop a spirit that is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and goes forward bravely.

If you immediately retreat when encountering a strong enemy or a dangerous situation, then this army can only fight smooth battles, and cannot fight really bad battles.

Jiang Weiguo's decision to continue the campaign to gather and annihilate the 16th Division was more about taking this into consideration.

The Nanjing Army should not retreat.

If even the Nanjing Army retreated on the battlefield, which army in China did not retreat?Because the Nanjing Army is the most powerful force in the Chinese army, it is also the collective example of the Chinese army, and it is also the seed of Jiang Weiguo's "direct line army".

After listening to Jiang Weiguo's explanation, Huang Wei was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement and put on his military cap: "I'm going to win the Guandu War!" Make your own contribution.

Jiang Weiguo's heart warmed: "Master, I will go with you!"

Under the dark and rolling dark clouds, the wind and rain were like darkness, and there were thunder and lightning. There is no thunder in winter. At this time, the thunder and lightning on the Dashengguan battlefield came from the ground. They rushed towards each other over and over again in the swampy mud, and the color-changing shouts of the mountains and rivers almost overwhelmed the wind and rain in the sky and the thunder and lightning on the ground.

Sanshanji, Lianhua Lake, Dajing Village, Xiaoniu Mountain, Tianbao Bridge, Guanzi Mountain... Various positions and strongholds in the 16th Division's control area were bloodied in the repeated attacks of the Nanjing Army.

"The real blood flows like a river!" Liu Wugou reported in the "Chinese Heroes Daily" that day, "The idiom "blood flows into a river" is exaggerated almost all the time, but it is true only in the current battlefield in southern Nanjing. Realistic words.

The Nakajima Division was torn apart by the impact of our army's mechanized troops overnight. The division was cut into several large pieces and dozens of small pieces, and a certain unit of our army successfully destroyed the Nakajima Division's divisions Although he failed to kill the commander of Nakajima Kinzao, who was so heinously sinful and unreasonable, he also succeeded in killing the chief of staff of his division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, and caused the division's divisions to fall into a situation where there was no command. The loss of control and the resulting chaos of fighting each other are all factors that are beneficial to our army's victory. All the soldiers of our army will give up their lives and attack bravely.

In the heavy rain, mud and water flowed across the ground, and the officers and soldiers of the enemy and the enemy fought desperately. Every second, people fell into the mud and rain everywhere, and blood flowed. The fallen soldier is the center of the circle, and the blood is constantly diluting and spreading in the muddy water, thus converging into one piece after another of pink puddles, ponds, and pools of water. When you look up, you can see mountains and plains everywhere "Ocean of blood" is a real river of blood, mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Such a shocking scene is creepy, but our soldiers have no fear. Send group after group of wicked devil soldiers to hell.

... Both Chief Huang and Jiang Weiguo personally went to Dashengguan to supervise the battle to boost morale and inspire the army. In an open space in the Dashengguan fortress, the scene was extremely bloody and horrifying, because piles of human heads were piled everywhere. They are all from the Japanese army, and they are the "proof of killing the enemy" of all the troops participating in the war. All the troops fought bravely and took pride in killing the most and more Japanese troops. Send it to Dashengguan, hand it in and accept the statistics.

The officers of the fortress counted them very carefully, and there was a wooden sign in front of each pile of heads, which said "the record of a certain regiment and a certain battalion", with numbers below the words, and the most was the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment. In the infantry battalion, there are more than 2000 people who have killed the enemy so far. More than [-] grinning heads with torn wounds are almost piled up into a hill. Looking at it has to be frightening.

Amidst the whistling sound, one after another trucks kept coming in, all delivering evidence of enemy annihilation, and there were bloody heads on the trucks. Immediately there were cheers, applause, congratulations, and noisy noises in the fortress. The bloody battalion commander was shouting in dissatisfaction, 'Did you miscalculate?The pile of heads in our battalion is already higher than the second regiment and second battalion, but not as many as them? An officer in charge of statistics explained, "The Second Battalion of the Second Regiment just killed a captain of the Japanese army. According to regulations, the head of a captain of the Japanese army is worth [-] ordinary devil soldiers. Although the number of devils is higher than that of the Second Regiment and the Second Battalion, the Second Regiment and the Second Battalion plus the captain of the General Commander still surpass you. The battalion commander cursed and said, "Damn it!"Let me go and chop off the head of the brigade commander of the devil major general now."

Amidst the roar of war horses, a team of ragged but excited cavalry roared in, everyone brandishing a bloody saber with strings of 'that thing' on the saber, 'Quickly keep an account! 320 Batiao Devil's Lifeblood! ’ The cavalry captain at the head looked shiny and shouted loudly, ‘We are the third battalion of the cavalry regiment!damn it!The Second Battalion almost caught up! The officer next to him deliberately joked, "Have you gone to kill the devil's heavy soldiers again?"The second battalion killed all genuine devil infantry, and your third battalion is just pretending! 'The cavalry captain said angrily,' What?The devil's heavy soldiers are not devil soldiers?Why don't you offer us your head without us chopping it with a knife?Don't you fucking fart lightly here! '...The fortress filled with the pungent bloody smell is full of a lively atmosphere like a New Year's market.

...Actually, the real fierce battle is not on the battlefield where the Nakajima Division is gathered and wiped out, but on the periphery of the encirclement!"

As Liu Wugou said, within the encirclement, the 16th Division has been collectively sent to hell, and the real fierce battle is outside the encirclement, because a large number of Japanese troops are madly attacking the encirclement of the Nanjing Army, thinking about it at all costs. To rescue the 16th Division, which has become a turtle in a urn, the troops of the Nanjing Army who stick to the encirclement are more bloody than the troops that slaughtered the Japanese army in the encirclement.

Chapter 314 Iron Counterattack (11)

Misty rain, people shouting horse neighing.

"One! Two! Three! Hey!" The roaring chant resounded through the wind and rain. Groups of officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army and horses were struggling to pull the cable like trackers on the Volga River, dragging a The heavy artillery at the door moved forward slowly, leaving a series of deep footprints in the mud. The officers and soldiers were soaked and had a clear division of labor. Some officers and soldiers and horses dragged the artillery, and some officers and soldiers paved the road with straw and wood in front. Some officers and soldiers continued to carry up the straw and wood from the rear.

"Damn! If you let my cavalry do this kind of thing, my horse will be scrapped! The intensity is too great!" Luo Youlun, the head of the cavalry regiment, was heartbroken. Peng Mengji protested angrily.

"If it's scrapped, just scrap it!" Peng Mengji was in a hurry, "As much as you die, the second son will give you more! I need my cannons outside the encirclement! Hurry up! You all hurry up!" He roared hoarsely said, "Didn't you eat?"

The officers and soldiers were drenched, sweating as much as rain, and blood bubbles and cracks were worn out on the hands of each officer and soldier. The horses were even more exhausted, with trembling hoofs, snorting and shaking non-stop. ear.

The whole team is as slow as a tortoise and a snail. Although it is slow, it is extremely firm.

Amidst the weird low neighing, a war horse in the team collapsed with limbs limp due to overwork, and a cavalryman in the crowd immediately rushed forward with tears streaming down his face and kept stroking his beloved horse.

"Drag this one!" Peng Mengji yelled without feeling sorry for him, "Let another one make up for it!" Of course he didn't feel bad. As the commander of the artillery regiment, he only cared about his cannons, not the cavalry regiment at all. war horse.

"These artillery bastards!" The cavalry gritted their teeth and cursed, but they still led a horse to make up for it.

Near the struggling artillery team, a tank team is also advancing with difficulty. The situation is similar to that of the artillery team, but it does not need to be dragged by horses. The armored soldiers and infantry use straw and wood to pave the mud and let the tanks line up on it. Advance 1.1 meters, like laying a "railway" temporarily.

The reason why the artillery, armored soldiers, cavalry, and infantry are so hard-working is naturally the reason for the heavy rain. Inside the encirclement, the Japanese soldiers of the 16th Division are being sent to hell in batches, eating up the 16th Division. The focus of the division's battle is not within the encirclement, but outside the encirclement. Only by blocking the Japanese reinforcements can the 16th Division be successfully eaten.

The blocking battle on the edge of the encirclement was extremely difficult and required the support of artillery and tanks. However, the heavy rain made the ground muddy, and the artillery and tanks were stuck in mud. They moved very slowly and could only rely on manpower and horsepower to move forward.

Guanzi Mountain, Jianduan Mountain, and Ergang are the three main positions outside the encirclement. These three hills are the same as the hills and hills around Nanjing. They are called mountains or hills, but they are actually small hills tens of meters long. Because these three hills were not originally the positions of the Nanjing Army, there were no fortifications on the hills. The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army guarding here were on the mountainside, in the woods, shrubs, and mud on the hills, desperately blocking the flood of Japanese reinforcements.

The battle was extremely unfavorable to the Nanjing Army. The only thing that can be regarded as "good news" is that the heavy rain also caused great trouble to the Japanese heavy artillery units. Only light infantry weapons can be used.

"Fengtian kill the thief!" The roar of Chinese and the roar of mortars resounded on the top of the mountain, the screams of Japanese were resounding at the foot of the mountain, and the shouts of killing mixed with Chinese and Japanese resounded on the mountainside, and guns clashed. The sound of shooting, the metal sound of cold weapons colliding.

The killed Nanjing Army officers and soldiers fell down in the pink mud, the wounded Nanjing Army officers and soldiers continued to fight, and the killed and wounded Japanese soldiers rolled down the hillside like salted fish wrapped in black flour, covered in mud and blood. The dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers lay scattered on the hillside, and the wounded soldiers struggled and wailed among the dead. The Japanese soldiers continued to climb up the corpses of their accomplices, and then rolled down the hillside again under the rain of bullets, artillery shells, and grenades. Layer upon layer, messy wilderness.

On the Ergang battlefield, "It would be great if there were cannons! One shelling would wipe out this small hillside! Why should my alliance spend such a big deal!" The Japanese army who was ordered to attack Ergang Deputy Commander Ye Changde of the 18th Regiment of the 23rd Brigade of the 55th Division looked at the hillside with red eyes at the 50-meter-high hill in front of him. The alliance has killed and injured more than 1000 people, but they just can't cross the hillside of this iron city.

"Deputy Lieutenant Captain! Have you captured Ergang yet?" The brigade commander, Major General Ueno Kamebo, called.

"Not...not yet..." Deputy Colonel Ye replied with a guilty conscience.

"How tall is Ergang?"

"About...about 50 meters..."
