I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"But their strength has changed!" Major General Tsukada Gong said confidently, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I can be sure that their strength is not as good as before. We can take Nanjing!"

Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro nodded silently.

On April 4, the Japanese army captured Hongshan after a day of fierce fighting. More than 28 people were killed in the defense of Nanjing (almost no wounded or captured), and more than 2000 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.

At this time, Nanjing City had already fallen to six important outreach positions.

After resuming the siege, the Japanese army's victories and victories increased their confidence. On the same night when they captured Hongshan, a part of the Japanese army broke into the Xiaobeimen area of ​​the northern urban area of ​​Nanjing from the north of the city, and initially broke out with the Nanjing army. A fierce and brief street battle took place. Although the Japanese army was quickly driven out of the urban area, this battle meant that the Japanese army had the conditions to enter the urban area.

Street fighting has already begun.

Chapter 337 Crazy City (7)

April 29, [-], was an ordinary and extraordinary day.

On this day, the Chinese and Japanese troops officially broke out in the Xuzhou Battle.

Affected by Jiang Weiguo's "butterfly effect", this Xuzhou battle was completely different from the original historical Xuzhou battle in all aspects except for the general battle area. The time was delayed for more than three months. The background, situation, and participating troops of the battle Significant changes have also taken place.

In the south of Xuzhou, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army (which has been greatly strengthened) invaded Huai'an in northern Jiangsu, and fought fierce battles with the troops of the Fifth Theater of the National Army and the breakout troops of the Nanjing Army in Huai'an and Baoying. , the head of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army drove straight in and stormed Linyi and Teng County, the northern barriers of Xuzhou in southern Shandong. Not only that, the Japanese army also had a detachment (the size of a brigade) transported by its naval fleet, and suddenly launched a landing in Lianyungang, thus forming a four-sided attack on Xuzhou and a comprehensive encirclement. Xuzhou suddenly fell into a serious danger.

It is worth mentioning that these deployments of the Japanese army deviated greatly from the "Xuzhou Great Encirclement" plan originally drawn up by the Japanese army, because the Nanjing breakout troops suddenly counterattacked the central and northern Jiangsu, which greatly threatened the strength of the Japanese 9th Division. The rear route forced the Japanese army to hastily launch this plan with insufficient preparation, such as the 14th Division. The Japanese army originally planned to send this division and the 10th Division to attack Xuzhou southward, but due to time constraints, the 14th Division It was difficult to dispatch, so only the 10th Division was dispatched to take the lead.

For a time, wind and rain from all directions gathered in Xuzhou.

Troops from the Fifth Theater of the National Army (Northern Jiangsu Province, Shandong Province), troops from the Sixth Theater (Henan Province, Anhui Province), and troops from the First Theater (Hebei Province, Chahar Province, Pingjin) flocked to Xuzhou to participate in the war .

Before the army was mobilized, Wuhan had contacted the Nanjing Garrison Command: "Xuzhou is in urgent need of troops, so a large part of the troops originally planned to reinforce Nanjing had to be dispatched to Xuzhou. Please understand and persevere!"

The Nanjing Army replied: "It doesn't matter, let the troops go to rescue Xuzhou!"

On the same day, the Tojo Division of the Japanese Army that invaded Shanxi Province fought a battle with the Jinsui Army in Xinkou. At this time, the Japanese Army was only 14 kilometers away from Taiyuan; The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army fought bloody battles, killing nearly ten thousand Japanese troops, but their own losses were three times that of the Japanese army, and the Taihang Mountain defense line was crumbling. With Yan Xishan's consent, Wei Lihuang led the [-]th Army Group into Jin to participate in the war.

Also on the same day, Japan's "Asahi Shimbun", "Mainichi Shimbun", "Yomiuri Shimbun" and other news media reported a shocking news: the imperial army officially invaded Nanjing City!

A photo was published in every major newspaper: Seven or eight Japanese soldiers in ragged clothes and blood stains stood excitedly and ecstatically on an ancient city tower that had been destroyed by war and waved a sun flag, which was faintly visible on the plaque of the ancient city tower. "Xingzhongmen" three Chinese characters.

Xingzhong Gate, namely Yifeng Gate, is one of the thirteen inner city gates of Nanjing Ming City Wall. It is located between the southern foot of Lulong Mountain (Lion Mountain) and Xiuqiu Mountain in the north of Nanjing City. It is the main traffic route leading to the Yangtze River in the north of Nanjing City. , is located between Zhongfumen and Yijiangmen, and stands between the concave parts of the two mountains. Its military position is very important.

Passing through the Xingzhong Gate means that you will directly enter the urban area of ​​Nanjing.

This report is no less than a burst of stimulants for the Japanese domestic people.

At the beginning of the Nanjing War, all walks of life in Japan were full of fanatical and violent cheers of "Shoot into Nanjing! Punish China!" But after five months, facing the "beautified" numbers of casualties of the siege Japanese army, the psychological endurance was far inferior to that of the Japanese army. The high-ranking Japanese people are no longer so enthusiastic. Instead, they are shocked, frustrated, and confused. For Japanese people from all walks of life, the word "Nanjing" is not a place that fills them with expectations and passion, but a place that makes them terrified. Terrified "ominous place".

However, at this time, the sudden turn of events made the people of all walks of life in Japan rejoice: "Although the Chinese army resisted tenaciously in Nanjing, they were still defeated by the imperial army!" "Nonsense! No matter how tenacious the Chinese army is, so what How can it compare to the Imperial Army? Our Japanese Imperial Army is the best army in the world!"

Of course, the news did not report that the seven or eight Japanese soldiers who climbed up the Xingzhong Gate all died after taking this photo. A precision mortar shell from the nearby Nanjing Army killed them and a pile of broken bricks and rubble. They exploded together.

The news media in Japan only reported: "On the day of His Majesty's 'Tianchang Festival', the Central China Front Army finally presented a real gift!"

April 4th is the birthday of Emperor Hirohito, Japan's "Tianchang Festival", and it is also the first day when the street fighting in Nanjing broke out.

The main external positions of Nanjing City have lost 6 consecutive positions: Tangshan Town, Longtan Town, Wulong Mountain Fortress, Dashengguan Fortress, Beigu Mountain, and Hongshan Mountain. At this time, there are only 4 left: Zijin Mountain, Mufu Mountain, Yuhuatai, Jiangbei Pukou District.

In the four directions of east, west, southeast and northwest, the Japanese army "opened the net" in the north of the river, so there was no attack. The east of the city was Zijin Mountain, and the Japanese army was still very afraid of it, so they did not attack directly. There was Yuhuatai in the south of the city, but there was no barrier in the north of the city. Since the Japanese army adopted the tactics of "strike steadily and nibble at every step", the Japanese army did not attack from the south of the city and the north of the city at the same time, but only carried out diversionary attacks in the Yuhuatai area in the south of the city, focusing on the north of the city. The 2th Division, these two divisions performed well in the Battle of Dashengguan, so they once again acted as the main force for the siege. In addition, the two division leaders were also extremely eager to participate in the battle, and they both firmly recommended themselves.

Lieutenant General Anan Weiji, the division head of the 2nd Division at this time, has always been a very ordinary person in the Japanese Army, even "a little stupid", because he took the exam four times before being admitted to the military academy, but he has self-knowledge and puts "Diligence can make up for weakness" is his life motto, so he is very diligent, down-to-earth, and hardworking. Before he became the head of the 2nd Division, he was the director of the Personnel Bureau of the Japanese Army Ministry. He climbed to this high position not because of his outstanding ability, but because of his He stood on the right team during the "February 2 Incident", but he didn't want to be this kind of administrative official. He wanted to lead troops to fight in person, so he cherished that he could be the first member of "one of the two major forces of the Japanese Army" at this time. Such a coveted opportunity for the Division Chief of the [-]nd Division.

Generally speaking, Lieutenant General Anan is a somewhat foolish but very practical person. At the same time, his background and experience also give him a major flaw: he is very eager to show his ability, so he is a little eager for quick success.

(It is worth mentioning that Anan was hardly a butcher-type Japanese general. Although he was a staunch militarist, he was very lenient to the Chinese soldiers who fell into his hands on the Chinese battlefield. Chinese soldiers are also buried with ceremonies.

）

As for Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the head of the 6th Division, after the outbreak of the Nanjing War, he has been in a very depressed state, because he missed the opportunity to capture Nanjing in the Nanjing Defense War, and in the following Nanjing War, His troops have been performing poorly, and his son Gu Junfu was also killed on the battlefield (in fact, he was captured by the Nanjing Army), which made him deeply shocked, and fell into extreme guilt, self-blame, and pain. Extricate yourself.

Lieutenant General Okamura encouraged him many times and inspired him to cheer up again, so he strongly recommended him to lead the 6th Division to participate in fierce battles, such as the Battle of Dashengguan, such as the street fighting in the north of Nanjing City at this time, so that he could use the victory to inspire himself.

When the street fighting in Nanjing officially broke out, the area controlled by the Nanjing Army was only about 30% of what it was at the beginning of the war. Except for the few remaining extended main positions, it was basically the urban area, which was roughly dominated by the inner area of ​​the Nanjing Ming City Wall.

In the modern iron and blood fight, the ancient Nanjing Ming City Wall has become an important line of defense for the Nanjing Army to defend Nanjing.

The Nanjing Ming City Wall was first built in the early Ming Dynasty. It took 27 years and employed 28 migrant workers. It cost a total of 5000 million bricks and eventually became the largest city wall in the world.

Nanjing Ming City Wall is divided into inner and outer roads. The inner road guards the main urban area of ​​Nanjing and is more than 35 kilometers long. The outer road includes Zijin Mountain, Xuanwu Lake and other large mountains and lakes in Nanjing. It is more than 60 kilometers long and is the largest in the world. The city wall, the historical significance and military value of this project is second only to the Great Wall, making Nanjing City a solid military fortress during the cold war period, with eighteen gates on the outer wall and thirteen gates on the inner wall (the distribution pattern of the thirteen city gates is The exquisite ones in Feng Shui represent the "Six Stars of the Southern Dipper" and the "Seven Stars of the Big Dipper").

In the current Nanjing War, the Nanjing Ming City Wall still played a major role.

By this time of the war, the Japanese army had broken through nine outer city gates, namely Guanyin Gate, Yaohua Gate, Xianhe Gate, Qilin Gate, Cangbo Gate, Gaoqiao Gate, Shangfang Gate, Jiagang Gate and Fengtai Gate. The entire outer wall almost fell apart in the desperate struggle between the Nanjing army and the Japanese army. Right now, the Japanese army is storming the Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate in the north of the inner wall of Nanjing City.

The fierce street fighting in Nanjing at this time was concentrated at these three gates.

Before the fierce battle in the north of the city began, Jiang Weiguo held a grand ceremony in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty: offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Jiang Weiguo sacrificed none other than Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu who established his capital in Nanjing, established the Ming Dynasty, and was buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty.

At noon, in the sky tomorrow, when the northern outreach troops quickly reported that "a large number of Japanese troops are approaching the inner wall through the Yaohua Gate of the outer wall" and started fighting with them, amidst the sound of rumbling guns, tens of thousands of Nanjing soldiers and civilians gathered at the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. A neat team lined up under the steps, collectively participated in an ancestor worship ceremony that made the whole of China gnash their teeth and shed tears.

"Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty! My descendants, with sincerity, pray for the announcement and worship the spirits of our ancestors.

Back in the day, when the Song dynasty fell, the Hu and Yuan ravages, the glorious Han Dynasty, and the bloodlines did not exist, His Majesty rose from the commoner but set his sights on the world, driving out the barbarians, and restoring China!Rejuvenated and divine, it is still present in the past and present!The Ming Dynasty has no relatives outside the Han Dynasty, no vassal towns of the Tang Dynasty, no coins of the Song Dynasty, the emperor personally guards the gates of the country, the king dies to the death of the country, and the iron bones of China are nothing like this!We and other descendants of the Chinese people often think about it, are fascinated, and swear to pass it on with tears.

To this day, Dongying is rampant and Japanese slaves are rampant in China. I am a majestic Chinese king, a fierce descendant of Yanhuang, defending the land that my ancestors worked hard to leave us.

There are clear instructions in ancient times that Han and thieves are not independent;

Barbarian bandits come to attack, only to fight!I wait for the younger generation, worthy of the ancestors, the spirit of the ancestors, blood will not be shed, and death will not stop fighting!Never die, never stop, never return!Live as a person of Great China, die as the soul of Great China!The heavens and the earth are destroyed, but I am the only one who will live forever in Great China! "

When Jiang Weiguo finished the sacrificial oration piously and aloud, he was already in tears before he knew it.

"No bleeding! No truce!"

"Life is a person of Great China, and death is the soul of Great China!"

"Heaven and earth are destroyed, but I am the only one who will live forever in Great China!"

The roar of the changing color of mountains and rivers resounded over the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, and echoed over the city of Nanjing.

Jiang Weiguo's oath may seem narrow or even extreme to some defenders or philanthropists, but who dares to say that it is a word uttered with the voices, feelings, and hearts of all people? Doesn't every word represent their utter hatred for the Japanese, or the patriotic sincerity of these Chinese descendants?

The battles at Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate were undoubtedly bloody battles, bloody battles, bloody battles, extremely bloody, extremely cruel, and completely inhuman bloody battles. They are basically militiamen, and only a few veterans serve as mid-level and low-level officers such as squad leaders and platoon leaders. However, the Japanese army firmly believes that those who guard these three gates are regular army veterans of the Nanjing Army, because these soldiers are all wearing regular army uniforms imitating German style. Military uniforms, holding German-made weapons, and most importantly, these militiamen wearing veteran military uniforms and holding veteran weapons are exactly like veterans, extremely tenacious and brave.

"As the city of Nanjing is about to fall, the Chinese army in Nanjing is fighting desperately like desperadoes.

...The imperial army had to go through fierce and bitter battles at every step, with corpses paving the way and blood staining the scorched earth. Said, "I have to admit that the Nanjing City China Army is indeed qualified to be the opponent of the Imperial Army. Compared with the Imperial Army, they are also extremely loyal, resigned to death, and more cunning than the Imperial Army!"

The "cunning" of the Nanjing Army is actually flexibility. The Nanjing Army is not afraid of death just like the Japanese Army, but it is more flexible than the Japanese Army, and it is by no means as rigid as the Japanese Army.

The rigidity of the Japanese army has almost reached the point of ignorance. For example, during the Battle of Iwo Jima in the original history, a certain Japanese army position was captured by the US military. More than 1000 Japanese soldiers guarding that position saw that they could not regain the position, so they collectively committed suicide.

In the eyes of the Chinese, this is simply ignorance. Even if you want to die, you should try to drag an enemy soldier to die together instead of committing suicide in vain. But this is the case with Japanese soldiers, not to mention the Japanese army, which is more "civilized" "Suicide is common" in the Japanese Navy. A large number of outstanding Japanese captains and mid-level commanders chose to commit suicide after defeating the battle, wasting the country's cultivation.

On this night, Jiang Weiguo also went to deal with a major event.

Today, April 4th, is the 29th birthday of Emperor Hirohito, and it is also the so-called "Tianchang Festival" by the Japanese.

As the Japanese army had won a series of major victories on the Chinese battlefield, in order to combat Japan's arrogance, Chiang Kai-shek approved the "bombing of Japan's mainland" combat plan drawn up by the Chinese Air Force, and specially chose the day of "Sky Long Festival" to make the bombing Actions are more meaningful and have more psychological impact on the Japanese.

The current fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force are basically the bf-109. However, the range of this aircraft is not large ("short legs" is a major disadvantage of the bf-109), so the bombers going to Japan to launch this bombing are not escorted by fighter jets , once discovered by the Japanese army, it will be more or less fatal, close to death, or even never return; There are many, only a hundred, and they are too stretched to fight against the Japanese on the Chinese battlefield, and they cannot afford to lose them. Naturally, since the bombers sent to carry out the mission are ready to be lost, there must not be many of them. Think about it. , determine to send four.

Four bombers, the amount of bombs can be imagined, unless they carry atomic bombs (ju-88 can't actually hold atomic bombs), otherwise, even if they are full of bombs, they can only bring a little bit of damage to the Japanese Empire, so Chiang Kai-shek decided to fly Install leaflets and carry out a "humanitarian bombing" of the Japanese mainland.

This was Chiang Kai-shek's decision, and Chiang Weiguo could not change it, he could not exchange leaflets for bombs, and he could not engage in the trick of "exchanging civet cats for princes".

The four bombers departed from the Ming Palace Airport in Nanjing, transferred to Ningbo, and then flew to Japan's Kyushu Island.

Planes will depart in the evening and fly at night to minimize exposure.

This is a night bombing. Of course, the Chinese Air Force does not have this capability, let alone long-range bombing. But the situation is different. The target of the bombing is not specific. Just fly to the sky above Kyushu Island in Japan and see brightly lit places (cities). Yes, so it is theoretically possible, and requires the superb skills of excellent pilots. Xu Huansheng, Tong Yanbo, Liu Cuigang, and Li Guidan, who lead the team, are all ace pilots in the Chinese Air Force.

"Let me see, what is written on this leaflet?" At the airport, Jiang Weiguo reached out and took out a leaflet that was being prepared to be loaded into the plane by the ground crew.

After reading it, Jiang Weiguo wanted to laugh: "What bullshit! It's so sour! Change it for me!" He beckoned, and Liu Qi, the deputy station chief of the Nanjing Station of the Maritime Statistics Bureau, who was on standby at the airport, immediately took seven or eight vehicles with him. Big trucks came with fresh leaflets.

Seeing these new leaflets printed by Jiang Weiguo, Xu Huansheng and other pilots were all taken aback: "Is the wording too harsh? Also, how can it be replaced temporarily? Has the chairman agreed?"

"My father only said that leaflets cannot be replaced with bombs, but he didn't say that leaflets cannot be replaced with leaflets!" Jiang Weiguo blinked slyly.

Chapter 338 Crazy City (8)

The content of the leaflet approved by Chiang Kai-shek to be airdropped to the Japanese mainland is as follows:

Letter to the Gentlemen of the People of Japan

We are the Air Force of the Republic of China, and we are now flying over your country. Our purpose is not to harm the lives and properties of the people of your country. Our mission is to explain to you the crimes of your country’s warlords, and to release the Chinese government and the Chinese people for their crimes against you. Your kindness.

...Japanese citizens, China and Japan are separated by a strip of water, have the same language, and are of the same race. They should be countries of brothers and should not fight each other.

In this war launched by the Japanese warlords, the victims are not only Chinese nationals, but also you Japanese nationals.

Please see reality!The war has begun, what do you get?Countless Japanese youths died in the wilderness on the land of China far away from their hometown, or returned to Japan with lifelong disabilities. One by one, fresh lives were lost, leaving only death notices and indelible pain to their families. Not only that, in order to maintain this militaristic war, the Japanese warlords also exploited and squeezed you, making you live in dire straits and poverty.

To put it a little farther away, since Showa [-], the warlord group in your country has carried out such lies and propaganda to you. They pretended that "Manchuria belonging to China is the lifeline of Japan. As long as Manchuria is in hand, Japan can strengthen the country and make the people rich." However, it has been seven years since the Japanese warlords occupied Manchuria. During these seven years, apart from the fact that the people in the military department became high-ranking officials and became upstarts, what have the Japanese people gained?There are only heavy taxes, high prices, poverty and hunger, disease and death.

...Brothers in Japan, many of you have always opposed war and insisted on ideals and peace. This is great. Some of you were deceived by the Japanese warlords and shouted for war. Because the Japanese warlords not only brought great pain and disaster to China and the Chinese people, but also brought great pain and disaster to Japan and the Japanese people.

Peace-loving Japanese citizens, please see the reality clearly!You are innocent, you are victims of war just like us, Japan and China are not enemies, neither are the Japanese people and the Chinese people, the real and common enemy of Japan and China, the Japanese people and the Chinese people is the occupation of Japan The warlord group of national power, let us unite and defeat them together!For the sake of peace between China and Japan, for the long-standing friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples and the mutual benefit and win-win well-being, and for the bright future in which the two countries and the two peoples advance hand in hand, defeat the evil Japanese warlords!Long live the friendship between China and Japan!Long live the friendship between the Chinese people and the Japanese people!

"What kind of bullshit is it written!" Jiang Weiguo was annoyed, funny, and even angry after reading it, "Who is brother to those Japanese bastards? Who is the same as those Japanese bastards? Who has friendship with those Japanese bastards? Japan Bastards are war victims too? Shit! Shit! Shit doesn't make sense!"

In Jiang Weiguo's view, the person who wrote these words is simply lowly, using his hot face to stick to the cold ass of the Japanese, and these words are simply humble and begging for mercy.

The Japanese are obviously doing everything possible to carry out practical actions to destroy China, and the Chinese are still displaying a ridiculous mind of "fraternity", and even "associating with the Japanese" and saying "same language, same species", "same clothes and water" and so on. The cliché made Jiang Weiguo disgusted and hated. He felt that China was like a little girl who was being bullied wantonly by the villain Japan. It's a relative, you hurt me, and you are not good to you" nonsense, how can it be "cheap".

Therefore, Jiang Weiguo specially prepared another batch of leaflets in advance. The text and pictures on the leaflets were made by Jiang Weiguo himself. Liu Wugou, who helped him with this matter, was also very surprised after reading it. She said in surprise: "This is not good. Right? Too harsh!"

"Is it severe?" Jiang Weiguo sneered, "The Japanese are invading us, slaughtering us, raping us, plundering us, and destroying us! This is our normal reaction! Any nation with a truly iron-blooded soul will retaliate with teeth, Blood for blood! Anyone who dares not hate their enemies is a fucking coward! A nation that dares not hate their enemies is a fucking inferior nation!"

Although Liu Wugou's thinking has been "reformed" by Jiang Weiguo at this time, she still hesitates: "That being said, but...the Japanese civilians are indeed innocent, they are also victims of the war, they were just deceived , was deceived..."

"Fart! Fart! Shit!" Jiang Weiguo was almost furious.

Liu Wugou was immediately taken aback by Jiang Weiguo, because Jiang Weiguo had always been "weak and bully" to her, and he was often "bullied" by her but never fought back.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Weiguo, who was "soft-tempered and good-tempered", throwing a tantrum in front of her for the first time, Liu Wugou couldn't help being taken aback. She asked cautiously, "Is it really wrong?"
