I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Tang Shengzhi led a group of staff officers to conduct repeated calculations, researches, estimations, and analyzes, and finally came up with a heavy-hearted statistic: the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in military strength. Any external line of defense in Nanjing City will be broken within 24 hours. If the Japanese army launches a full-scale attack on Nanjing City from all directions (the Japanese army is fully capable of doing this, attacking Nanjing City from all directions, any attack point is a storm), All the external defense lines of Nanjing City will collapse within 24 hours to 72 hours. The next battle mode is no longer positional warfare and trench warfare, but street warfare (mess in the city), assault battle (the offensive and defensive battle of the five Paoshan Mountains), As for how long the Nanjing Army can last after the street fighting and fortified battles start?The answer is: unpredictable.

In terms of military science, when a city defense battle turns into a street battle, 90.00% of the endings are more than five and the attacker will eventually win (except for the Battle of Stalingrad that broke out in the original history).

"Nothing!" Xiao Yao disapproved very much, he comforted Jiang Weiguo with a relaxed face, "Don't forget our ultimate goal.

What is our ultimate goal in fighting this Nanjing campaign?Hold Nanjing?This is not our first purpose at all. Our first purpose is to kill the Japanese army as much as possible.

I estimate that after the Japanese army attacked in an all-round way, relying on the fortifications outside the city, trench positions, and five artillery hills, we could at least kill and injure another 74 to 2 Japanese troops before the city was broken. Our own casualties should be only half of the Japanese army's, that is to say, After the city was broken, we still had 10 troops (including the newly arrived 15th Division, the 20nd Reserve Division, and the militia in Nanjing City) who could fight the Japanese army in street fighting. When all [-] people are dead, at least [-] to [-] Japanese soldiers can be wiped out!" He seemed very open-minded, "It's okay!Attendees, are you still not satisfied? "

"Yes! Yes!" Jiang Weiguo nodded again and again, "This is a good thing! That's right! A good thing! The devils have sent so many troops, which shows that our Nanjing strategy is very successful! Sacrificing an isolated city can kill more than 30 devils , Enough! Enough!" He hurried away while "comforting himself".

"Chan Zuo, you are..." Xiao Yao was puzzled.

"You don't understand!" Jiang Weiguo replied.

Of course Xiao Yao didn't understand, because he was a bachelor, and Jiang Weiguo was a "polygamy". Since Nanjing was doomed to fall, he would definitely send away his wife and children (in his stomach) before the city was destroyed. The level of trouble is simply more than sending the Japanese troops outside the city out of China, because his women are more "disobedient" than one.

"I won't go, I can't go!" Yang Mei shook her head.

"I won't go, I can stay if I want, what's your business? Who are you? What right do you have to order me?" Liu Wugou curled his lips in disdain.

"Has that vixen left?" Shi Liling looked at Jiang Weiguo with contempt.

"Which one?" Jiang Weiguo was sweating profusely.

"Look at you!" Shi Liling said angrily, "You still ask me 'Which'? You mean you raised several vixens? I'm talking about the one surnamed Liu! If she doesn't leave, why should I? She was so jealous that she "loved and hated" Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo was helplessly defeated one by one, and finally just sent Cai Wenna away.

Cai Wenna didn't let Jiang Weiguo spend much time talking, she took the torpedo boat that Jiang Weiguo prepared for her meekly, and before leaving, she touched her stomach and burst into tears, constantly saying, "You must protect yourself and survive." Parting words like "If not for me, but for our children".

Jiang Weiguo hugged Cai Wenna reluctantly, and thought unkindly in his heart: "Among so many girlfriends, she is indeed the most obedient and obedient. It would be great if everyone is so obedient!"

"Seat!" A military vehicle drove to the pier at a high speed, and Liu Qi, the deputy station chief of the Nanjing Station of the Maritime Bureau, jumped out of the vehicle and hurried to Jiang Weiguo with a dusty look and an anxious look.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Weiguo had to let go of Cai Wenna, watched Cai Wenna board the torpedo boat, and then looked at Liu Qi.

"Something may have happened!" Liu Qi seemed very disturbed and handed Jiang Weiguo a document, "The Tianjin Station of the Maritime Bureau has just obtained a piece of Japanese military information. Oh, there are a few special agents at the Tianjin Station who pretended to be migrant workers. The Japanese army unloaded the cargo, because they were proficient in Japanese, so they could understand what the Japanese army said.

An hour ago, the brothers at Tianjin Station overheard some Japanese soldiers who had just arrived in Tianjin talking to each other, and they were very surprised to hear that they mentioned that the number of their unit was '123rd Infantry Regiment'!"

"The 123rd Infantry Regiment?" Jiang Weiguo didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

"The seat!" Liu Qi eagerly explained, "The 123rd Japanese Infantry Regiment belongs to the 106th Brigade of the 136th Division of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the regiment is Kasao Kijima.

However, isn't the 106th Division of the Japanese Army part of the newly-built Sixth Army of the Central China Front Army of the Japanese Army?According to the information we originally obtained, the Japanese Sixth Army was on the battlefield in the west of Nanjing City, that is, in the Ma'anshan area. , Why did the 6rd Infantry Regiment belonging to the division appear in Tianjin thousands of miles away? "

Jiang Weiguo faintly felt that this matter was very strange: "Are you sure?"

"One of the brothers at Tianjin Station had studied in Japan before the war!" Liu Qi said, "He is very sure that the Japanese accents of those Japanese soldiers are indeed from Kumamoto County, Kyushu Island!" The 106th Division of the Japanese Army The regiment was formed with the reserve soldiers of the 6th Division, so the division and the 6th Division have the same origin, and the soldiers are all from the Kumamoto Prefecture area of ​​Japan.

Jiang Weiguo also felt uneasy and even ominous in his heart.

"Station Master Liu (Nanjing Station Chief Liu Qihu) and the others are urgently analyzing the information!" Liu Qi added, "But it can be judged that there is no problem with the information sent by Tianjin Station.

Bureau seat... We can't take it lightly. Stationmaster Yang (Yang Jiang) of Shanghai Railway Station has also sent some very strange information in the past two days. Some of them are lurking in several ports in Shanghai, and they found it here and there. A strange thing happened. The Japanese army’s troop carrier sailed into the Yangtze River in mighty force, sailed along the Yangtze River from Shanghai to Nanjing, and then returned, but it was at night when it returned. There was moonlight the night before, and a brother at the Shanghai station was very surprised to see A Japanese troop carrier actually returned with a full load, and that troop carrier sailed from Shanghai to Nanjing with a full load of thousands of Japanese troops, but when it returned to Shanghai from Nanjing, it was still full of thousands of Japanese troops, either wounded soldiers or soldiers with live ammunition!"

"What?" Jiang Weiguo became more and more surprised and disturbed.

"Boss, look again!" Liu Qi took out two photos, both of which showed a Japanese ship sailing in the Yangtze River, "The ship in these two photos is the same ship, although the Japanese deliberately covered it up." The name on the ship, but from the appearance analysis, it is indeed the same ship. The first photo was secretly taken by the brothers at the Shanghai station when the ship sailed from Shanghai to Nanjing, and the second photo was secretly taken by the brothers at the Shanghai station when the ship sailed from Nanjing to Shanghai. , The strange thing is here!" He pointed to the photo, "When the ship sailed from Shanghai to Nanjing, the draft was about three meters, but when the ship sailed from Nanjing back to Shanghai, the draft was actually four and a half meters.

Bureau seat, you should be able to imagine where the strange place is!"

"What the hell is the little devil doing?" Jiang Weiguo was puzzled.

Chapter 322

Throughout mid-to-late February, the Japanese army on the Nanjing battlefield only did two things. One was to increase troops and transport materials to Nanjing on a large scale, and the other was to drive people into the city.

In the Nanjing Army's counterattack, the Japanese army, which wiped out a division and lost more than [-] soldiers, changed its fierce and narrow-mindedness in the past, and became cautious, calm and conservative, and only concentrated on doing these two things. Except for more than a dozen raids, probing, and encounters, the Japanese army did not launch an offensive at the wing level or above the Nanjing Army.

As of March 3, excluding those who were sent out of Nanjing City and those who died, there were a total of about 1 people in Nanjing City at this time. Division), more than 29 militiamen, more than 7 young and middle-aged migrant workers (most of them can be converted into militiamen), more than 74 wounded (basically wounded soldiers, 2 people have been sent away, all of whom are seriously wounded) or the disabled, of the remaining 4 wounded, more than 3 are mildly or moderately injured who can recover), and more than 4 are elderly, weak, women, children and civilians (more than 6000 have been sent away) .

The number of elderly, weak, women and children driven into Nanjing by the Japanese army is increasing at an average rate of 5000 per day.

Nanjing had nothing to do about it. It was impossible not to accept it. It would be very difficult to transfer it after accepting it. More than 20 before the war did not decrease but increased, and the "popularity is becoming more and more exuberant" in the city. White-haired, aging sixtieth old people can be seen everywhere, children who are babbling, ignorant, and all age groups from girls to young women, from girls to aunts There are women.

The Nanjing Army defended the city of Nanjing for three months, which bought three months of precious time for the main force of the national army on the outskirts. Rebuild the troops.

After three months of busy work, the national army barely recovered from the heavy losses, chaotic organizational structure, and disordered command at the beginning of the war, and a lot of work was resumed.

There are currently seven theaters of the national army, namely:

The first theater (Hebei Province, Chahar Province, Pingjin), Commander Song Zheyuan, Deputy Commander Lu Zhonglin;

The Second Theater (Shanxi Province, Suiyuan Province), Commander Yan Xishan, Deputy Commander Zhu De;

The third theater (Southern Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province), Commander Gu Zhutong, Deputy Commander Zhang Fakui;

Fourth Theater (Fujian Province, Guangdong Province), Commander Chen Shaokuan, Deputy Commander Yu Hanmou;

The Fifth Theater (Northern Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province), Commander Li Zongren, Deputy Commander Han Fuju;

The Sixth Theater (Henan Province, Anhui Province), Commander Liu Zhi, Deputy Commander Jiang Dingwen;

The Seventh Theater (Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Jiangxi Province), Commander Liu Xiang, Deputy Commander Chen Cheng.

Excluding the Nanjing Army, the reorganized and expanded National Army (including the Central Army, Local Army, and Communist Party Army) was now organized into 30 group armies and 30 legions, with a total strength of more than 300 million.

The national army of more than 300 million is indeed huge in scale, but the actual combat effectiveness is difficult to be optimistic.

At this time, the "strength" of China's national defense can be described as such: the capital, Nanjing, is a walnut; otherwise, the rest of China is basically tofu.

The city of Nanjing was a huge magnet, attracting hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers, but the Nanjing Army was also a "vampire" who absorbed a lot of "nutrition" from the Chinese army, including a large number of experienced and well-qualified veterans and a large number of ordnance heavy weapons.

In the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, Jiang Weiguo passed the scattered information collected by the Maritime Administration to Xiao Yao. After reading it, Xiao Yao looked dignified. After pondering for a long time, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the Japanese are playing with the Mingxiu plank road?" , secretly plotting Chen Cang's tricks?"

"Brother Haoran, what do you mean..." Jiang Weiguo was a little uneasy.

Xiao Yao walked to the map on the wall: "Sir, if the information provided by the Maritime Statistics Bureau is correct, then we have to think about a very frightening possibility. The Japanese are pretending to attack Nanjing with all their strength. In fact, they are sharpening their knives and preparing to attack North China! The 123rd Japanese Infantry Regiment belongs to the 106th Division of the Japanese Army. The division should be located in the Ma'anshan area in the west of Nanjing City, but the soldiers of the regiment appeared in the Tianjin, which is thousands of miles away, what does this mean? It means that the 106th Division on the Nanjing battlefield may be just a sham, or that the main force of the division has been secretly transferred to North China.

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army has a full staff of 5000 people. It can be set up. The 106th Division on the Nanjing battlefield may actually have only one or two regiments and 5000 people. At the same time, the 106 people who disappeared were secretly transported to North China. Therefore, only a small part of the 2th Division was in Nanjing, and the main force was actually in North China.

By analogy, this is the case for the 106th Division, but what about the other divisions on the Nanjing battlefield?Maybe that's all the case!"

Jiang Weiguo shuddered faintly, he seemed to understand something.

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes: "There is also the situation discovered by the Shanghai Station of the Maritime Statistics Bureau, which seems to be a kind of evidence.

The Japanese army is swaggeringly increasing its troops to Nanjing, and at the same time playing the trick of "blossoming on the tree", increasing obviously and decreasingly.

What's the meaning?It can be assumed that the Japanese army sent an additional 1 horses to Nanjing during the day, but at night they secretly transported the 1 horses back, or even more, [-] and [-], so their Only transport ships have a strange situation with a draft of three meters during the day and four and a half meters at night!"

"You mean..." Jiang Weiguo looked closely at Xiao Yao, "Currently, in the entire East China region including the Nanjing battlefield, the Japanese Central China Front now has 25 divisions, 3 heavy artillery brigades, and 2 mixed The brigade looks huge, but in fact...all fake?"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "You can't say 'all are false', it should be said that there are true and false, there is false in the true, and there is true in the false.

With so many troops in the Japanese army, it is definitely impossible for our intelligence department to find out the details of every division and brigade. Therefore, the Japanese are playing tricks of pretending to be fakes and stealing the sky, and some troops are genuinely fully equipped. It is full, and some units are just empty shelves, mixed with true and false, and we want to find out, it is as difficult as heaven.

We can only draw one conclusion. The 50 Japanese army on the East China battlefield was actually not that many, maybe only 30 or even 20. The missing troops were actually secretly smuggled to North China by the Japanese.

Attendees, the Japanese army is strong, and there is no problem of neglecting the other, they can completely fight on two fronts!"

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette with slightly trembling hands. He felt extremely nervous, uneasy, and anxious. This made him feel more nervous, uneasy, and anxious than the 50 Japanese troops attacking Nanjing.

The 50 Japanese troops originally thought they were all here to attack Nanjing. In fact, only 20 million Japanese troops actually attacked Nanjing, and the 30 million who "disappeared" went to North China.

What would happen if 30 or [-] Japanese troops appeared on the battlefield in North China?Jiang Weiguo's scalp tingles just thinking about it.

On the surface, the Japanese army that is invading China is divided into two major military groups (excluding the Kwantung Army and the Taiwan Army): the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army. With only four divisions, the Japanese Army's North China Front currently looks like this:

Commander-in-Chief of the Front Army, General Terauchi Shou, and Chief of Staff, Major General Kawabe Masa;

The 1st Army of the Front Army, Commander Lieutenant General Xiangyueqing Division, under the jurisdiction of the 7th and 26th Divisions;

The 2nd Army of the Front Army, Commander Lieutenant General Nishio Hisao, under the jurisdiction of the 10th and 14th Divisions;

The units directly under the Front Army include aviation units, gendarmerie units, artillery units, etc.;

The total strength of the entire front army is more than 11, and there are more than 10 puppet troops to assist in combat.

Obviously, the size, strength, and threat of the North China Front Army are far inferior to those of the Central China Front Army. Therefore, the high-level national army believes that "there is no big problem in North China" and "although the National Army cannot counterattack North China right now, it is more than enough to stabilize North China."

At present, the troops defending against the Japanese army in North China include four major parts: The first is the 1st Group Army of the Song Zheyuan Division that retreated to the southern part of Hebei Province. This division belongs to the remaining line of the Great Northwest Army. The Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing did not continue to kill them all, so after several months of rest in southern Hebei, the Ministry recovered a lot of vitality. At this time, the total strength of the whole group army was more than 10; Yan Xishan's Shanxi-Sui Army, including the 6th, 7th, and 13th Army Groups (and the 18th Army Group, which nominally obeyed Yan Xishan's orders), since Shanxi Province had not yet suffered a real large-scale attack by the Japanese army after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Suiyuan Province, which was attacked on a small scale by the Japanese army and occupied many areas, was only a secondary area in the territory of the Jinsui Army. Therefore, the Jinsui Army was well organized and expanded under the stimulation of the Japanese army's intimidation. At this time, the total strength was about 20. The third is the Lu Army of Han Fuju in Shandong Province, mainly the 3rd Army, with a total strength of about 10. In addition, the 11th Army of the Gui Army retreated from the Songhu battlefield to the north of Jiangsu Province for rest, and the 21th Army of the Gui Army from Songhu On the battlefield, the 8st Army of the Gui Army retreated to the north of Anhui Province for rest and reorganization to assist in the battle. These two armies suffered a lot on the Shanghai battlefield and it was not convenient to recruit troops outside Guangxi Province. Therefore, the total force at this time was about 2; The central army units in Henan Province are mainly Liu Zhi's 4nd Army, Jiang Dingwen's 14th Army, Wei Lihuang's 20th Army, etc. The total strength of these three armies exceeds [-].

In addition, on the North China battlefield, there were also local armies such as the former Northeast Army and the former Small Northwest Army, which were jointly organized into the 20th and 24th Army Groups. The total strength of these two Army Groups exceeded 15.

All together, the Chinese army on the North China battlefield is as high as about 100 million, and the Japanese army in North China only has more than 11. That's why the high-level national army thinks that "there is no big problem in North China" and "Although the national army cannot counterattack North China at the moment, it is stable." There is more than enough in North China."

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help thinking of the Normandy landing in the original history. In order to deceive the German army before the war, the Allied forces specially prepared a plan to deceive the enemy called "Battle of Resoluteness" in order to deceive the German army and achieve the goal of "strike the east and attack the west, and divert the tiger away from the mountain". They set up a fake 1st Army of the U.S. Army, built fake buildings, placed fake equipment, sent out fake wireless telegrams, and falsely claimed that General Patton was the 1st Army. The commander finally succeeded in deceiving the German army, so that the German army misjudged the landing place of the Allied forces.

When millions of Allied troops landed in Normandy, France, hundreds of thousands of the main force of the German army were foolishly waiting in the Calais area, waiting for the Allied landing forces that would never appear there.

"Could it be that the Japanese are also playing this trick?" The more Jiang Weiguo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt "terrified" because if it was true, the situation on the Sino-Japanese battlefield would undergo tremendous changes. .

"Brother Haoran!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao eagerly, "What should we do?"

Xiao Yao showed a sad look: "I can't do anything.

The Nanjing Army only has a strength of more than 10 troops, and the defense of the city is still supportive. It is really impossible to counterattack. If the Japanese want to attack North China, we have no way to rush to rescue North China.

The plan for now is to remind the North China National Army to strengthen their defenses and prepare for battle!"

Jiang Weiguo felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. He could only nod his head, and then sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, asking Chiang Kai-shek to send a telegram to Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, Han Fuju, Liu Zhi, Jiang Dingwen and other North China National Army chiefs, Remind them, "The Japanese army is secretly gathering heavy troops to North China on a large scale. It is expected that it will most likely launch a large-scale attack on North China in the near future, so we must be more vigilant."
