"Of course!" Jiang Weiguo angrily said, "Do you think that this is the case—the Chinese people are kind and innocent and peace-loving, and the Japanese people are also kind and innocent and peace-loving, but those anti-human beings in the Japanese military In order to start the war, the war elements brainwashed the kind, innocent and peace-loving Japanese people, deceived them, blinded them, made them support the war, and became cannon fodder for the Japanese military and the pawns who invaded China, and became the same as us. 'Victims of war'?"

"Could it be... Isn't it?" Liu Wugou said dumbfoundedly.

"Of course not!" Jiang Weiguo was furious, "Let me tell you, except for a very small number, one in ten thousand Japanese, who really opposed the war or sympathized with China, more than 90.00% of the Japanese expressed their sincerity and sincerity. , fanatical, and fully support war, support their government, support their army to invade us, massacre us, rape us, plunder us, and destroy us! The fact is like this! Those Japanese civilians are not kind at all! They are not innocent at all They don’t love peace at all! They are the most steadfast supporters of the Japanese military, and they are willing to be the accomplices of the Japanese military! In Japan, young men are eager to join the army, and there is a long queue in front of the conscription station every day! They fanatically Shouting to be loyal to their emperor, to conquer our China for their emperor! Thousands of Japanese women are working overtime in military workshops to make bullets for their army to kill us! They don’t even want Work for money! Because they also sincerely support the war! Even, the Japanese army on the front line is hungry and needs women, and a large number of Japanese women are willing to go to the front line to serve as comfort women for the army! Do you think Japanese civilians are really kind? Are they really innocent? When the Japanese army occupied a large area of ​​our country, when the Japanese army slaughtered a large number of our compatriots, when the Japanese army plundered a lot of our wealth, the Japanese civilians applauded after seeing the news reports! Are they kind? Are they innocent? How ridiculous! They deserve the words 'victims of war'? Pooh! If they really perish, they will have to blame themselves! Evil will be rewarded with evil!"

"This...this..." Liu Wugou was quite frightened by Jiang Weiguo's angry expression, "Doesn't this just show how evil the Japanese warlord's brainwashing policy is?"

"You don't want to say 'human nature is good' again, do you?" Jiang Weiguo laughed angrily, "It doesn't matter whether human nature is inherently good or human nature is evil! The important thing is that if you do something wrong or commit a crime, you must be punished! If human nature Ben Shan, what do you need prisons for? What do you need the law for? Let me ask you, a murderer full of crimes, murder, arson and rape, commits all kinds of crimes, so he was executed. Was his death unjust? Of course not! Because he deserved it! He used to be kind like an angel, but since they have committed crimes, they should be punished! The whole Japanese nation is the same way! They all deserve to die! Because almost no Japanese is innocent! The entire Japanese nation is guilty!"

Liu Wugou stopped talking, because on the one hand he was afraid to speak, and on the other hand he was unable to refute.

In the early morning of April 4th, Japanese people in cities such as Fukuoka, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto in the southeastern part of Kyushu Island, Japan, and the vast rural areas fell into shock after getting up and opening their doors. They were all covered with paper like snow.

After picking up these papers in surprise, curiosity and bewilderment, the Japanese saw that the contents on them were shocking photos and lines of words that revealed strong bloody hatred. The photos on it were divided into two categories One is the death scenes of Chinese civilians who were murdered by the Japanese army, or Chinese men who were beheaded and dismembered, or Chinese women who were raped and murdered and then mutilated, or Chinese children who were picked on Japanese bayonets. The other type is the images of the corpses of Japanese soldiers who were shot dead by the Chinese army on the Chinese battlefield and were subjected to corpse abuse revenge, or the corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up on a hill, or the genitals of Japanese soldiers picked on Chinese cavalry sabers, or The rotten meat of the Japanese army crushed into meat by the tank.

Every picture must be filled with mosaics in future generations, because it is too bloody, too terrifying, and too frightening.

As for the text on the leaflet, it is a very short paragraph:

The Japanese are optimistic!Look at the outrageous crimes your troops have committed on our soil!Look at their sad end!They deserve it!You, too, will get what you deserve!You started this war, so you will eat the bitter fruit of your own making!You invade us, we will accompany you to the end!We are very sure of two things, first, you will never destroy us, and second, when we counterattack your homeland, we will pay back with blood!And it will be repaid to you ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times and a thousand times!Let your country perish!Let you never recover!May you never be reborn!Until then, don't cry, because crying is useless!You don't ask for mercy, because begging for mercy is useless!Don't be angry, because anger is useless!This is what you asked for!Wait!You will definitely see that day coming!You are sure to see the end of the day on the Japanese mainland!Because of what you are doing at this time, Japan will become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in the not-too-distant future!Become a hell on earth!Our purpose is definitely not to make you wake up or intimidate you, because it is meaningless at all. Our purpose is to tell you that we will take revenge on you!

The content of this leaflet is completely different from that of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's is "persuasion", while Jiang Weiguo's is a naked declaration of revenge.

Jiang Weiguo did not want to "persuade" the Japanese at all. First, he knew that it would be useless. Second, the crimes of the Japanese had made them ineligible to be forgiven. Third, Jiang Weiguo's goal was to destroy Japan.

This "paper bombing" air raid on the Japanese mainland was a complete success. Four Ju-88 bombers dropped more than 300 million leaflets in the southeastern and southern regions of Kyushu Island, Japan, and flew nearly three million leaflets over the Japanese mainland. Within hours, all four bombers returned safely without any damage.

During the air strike (or airdrop), wherever the fleet went, the ground was in chaos, papers were flying in the air, people on the ground were noisy, the city lights were turned off in a hurry, the searchlights of the Japanese air defense forces shone indiscriminately in the sky, and the anti-aircraft guns beat indiscriminately, but the fleet was safe and sound. , leaving smoothly after completing the task.

Because this is the first time in history that Japan has been attacked by air, there is no psychological preparation at all.

The next day, that is, in the morning of May 5, four Chinese bombers that had gone on an expedition to the mainland of Japan returned home successfully in the bright rays of the rising sun. They first arrived in Ningbo, and then went directly to Hankou Airport in Wuhan. The scene was welcomed by tens of thousands of people.

Chiang Kai-shek was unable to appear in person because he was "healing his wounds". General He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and a group of senior military generals, as well as tens of thousands of representatives from all walks of life in Wuhan, and the people warmly welcomed the Chinese Air Force warriors who had returned in triumph at the airport. Firecrackers are deafening.

He Yingqin was originally happy, but when he learned that the flyer for the plane had been transferred by Jiang Weiguo, he immediately complained.

This feat of the Chinese Air Force has caused an extremely huge uproar at home and abroad. The pro-China German media commented: "The Chinese Air Force bomber formation expedition to the Japanese mainland was a complete success, which once again discredited the Japanese and made the Chinese proud again. The significance of this feat is no less than that another division of the Japanese army was wiped out by the Chinese army.

The Chinese government and the Chinese army also demonstrated to the world their courage without fear of Japan, their determination to fight the war to the end, their confidence in victory, and their strength to win, plus their heroic demeanor.

And the most important thing is that the first time in history that Japan was attacked by foreign planes happened on the Emperor's "Tianchang Festival", which is equivalent to a loud slap in the face of the Emperor of Japan!"

After Chiang Kai-shek knew what Jiang Weiguo had done in this matter, although he was very surprised and displeased, he had nothing to do with Jiang Weiguo. , at most it is a reprimand by sending a telegram.

The "Declaration of Revenge" that Jiang Weiguo airdropped to Japan did indeed play a certain role.

For a long time, the news media in Japan has been strictly controlled by the government and the military. "Only good news is allowed, not bad news." Bad things are called good things, and good things are whitewashed and even exaggerated.

Objectively speaking, the common people in Japan are really not very clear about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in China (it is another matter to sympathize with China after they are clear), because the high-level Japanese army also knows that evil things cannot be done with great fanfare. Some of the tragedies on the battlefield in China were also blocked, and the photos taken by front-line war reporters were full of "do not publish" stamps and annotations.

Jiang Weiguo showed the Japanese civilians the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and the tragic situation after the Japanese army was retaliated, which naturally greatly shocked the Japanese civilians. "The tragedy shocked them even more.

In the impression of Japanese civilians, "The Imperial Japanese Army is a division of civilization, benevolence and righteousness, iron and blood, and invincible". At this time, they understood the true face of the Japanese army and the true nature of the Japanese army. situation.

The Japanese civilians' active support for the army and fanatical support for the war have been poured with cold water. Not only that, in the face of the Chinese army's "revenge declaration", although more Japanese civilians sneered or further clamored, there were also some Some Japanese civilians feel apprehensive, even fearful.

Taiyuan, Xuzhou, Nanjing... The extremely fierce war is still going on day and night.

Among the three major battles, Nanjing is still the most tragic.

With the outbreak of street fighting, the intensity of the fighting has intensified day by day.

At the three major city gates in the north of the city, the battle at Shence Gate was the most intense. During the frenzied fighting between the two sides, the city gate and the city wall were crumbled to pieces, and the ancient bricks and tiles were splashed with blood all over the wall. The commander-in-chief of the defenders was Major General Li Lanchi, who was born in the Northeast Army, led more than [-] officers and soldiers to guard the Shence Gate. The veterans among the officers and soldiers were basically from the Northeast Army (after the Xi’an Incident, the Northeast Army split internally, and some officers and soldiers who were pro-Central Army were incorporated into the Central Army), and the militiamen among the officers and soldiers are basically exiled people from the Northeast. Before the battle, Li Lanchi said with tears in his eyes: "Among the soldiers in the whole country, the soldiers in the Northeast are the ones who should resist Japan the most! We have neither defended the country nor Without defending our hometown, our family members are either wandering or under Japanese slavery, and it is a shame for us to survive until now!" All the officers and soldiers burst into tears, and then fought bravely.

After the fierce battle broke out, Li Lanchi ordered the troops to retreat while fighting, and lured six or seven hundred Japanese soldiers into the Wengcheng of Shence Gate, and then used explosives to blow up the city gate. , killing ghosts and wolves in the Wengcheng, blood and flesh flying everywhere, all the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the Wengcheng died tragically inside, and then the Japanese army attacked the city crazily. Amidst the thunder, the entire Shence Gate was blown to pieces. The Japanese soldiers who attacked the city but were killed piled up hills outside the wall, and blood flowed into rivers under the pile of dead people. Several piles of dead people were even as high as the city wall five or six meters high. On the other hand, the Japanese troops who continued to attack climbed over the pile of dead people and set foot on the city wall like locusts, and more Japanese troops swarmed in from the incomplete part of the city wall, and the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who were guarding the Shence Gate broke out in a bloody battle. melee.

After two days and one night of bloody battles, Shence Gate fell, and more than 800 officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army were all killed. No one was captured, no one surrendered, and no one escaped. There were four wounded soldiers, all seriously wounded, because almost all the lightly wounded had perished with the Japanese army in battle with grenades or dynamite packs.

When the Japanese army surrounded the military hospital where the wounded soldiers of the Nanjing Army were located, Li Lanchi, who was also seriously wounded because he was blinded in the battle and refused to leave the Shence Gate, said to the wounded soldiers: " Brothers, it’s time for us to go home!” His blind eyes were bleeding and weeping, “Go back to our Northeast, back to that black land, back to our parents.

Brothers, come home, we're home..."

"Go home! We're going home!" the wounded soldiers cried and cheered.

The Japanese soldiers who surrounded the military hospital were shocked to find that the military hospital was shrouded in fire, and the wounded soldiers of the Nanjing Army inside were doused with gasoline and set on fire.

More than 800 people calmly set themselves on fire collectively.

In the raging fire, the wounded soldiers of the Nanjing Army were engulfed by the flames one after another, and at the same time there were bursts of mournful singing in the sea of ​​flames:

"My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast, where there are forests and coal mines, and there are soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains,

My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast, where I have my compatriots and my aging parents;

September [-], September [-], from which tragic moment, I left my hometown, wandering, wandering! ..."

The Japanese soldiers watched this scene dumbfounded and listened to this song that they could not understand but could understand.

After Lieutenant General Anan understood the singing of the wounded soldiers of the Nanjing Army who set themselves on fire through an interpreter, his expression was solemn. After a long silence, he looked at Lieutenant General Gu Hisao beside him: "Mr. Many military reports were sent back to Tokyo. At that time, I could not believe that the Chinese people would be so tenacious and not afraid of death. Now, I have to believe it!"

Lieutenant General Gu Hisao smiled wryly: "Otherwise, how could we fight so hard?"

"Is it difficult, or is it too slow!" Lieutenant General Anan looked at the Shence Gate, which had been turned into bloody ruins, with some irritability, "Mr. Gu, attacking the Shence Gate, you firmly advocate not investing more than one alliance at a time." Troop strength, look, we have accumulatively lost more than 600 Imperial Army soldiers, and the price is a bit high.

One team is on the ground, the other is damaged, and the other is replenished. Isn't this the most inferior "refueling tactic"?Wouldn't it be convenient for the Chinese army to attack and counterattack us?In my opinion, in the future, one brigade can be invested at one time, and even a division can be suppressed!With the momentum of Mount Tai, crush the enemy's blocking defense! "

"No!" Lieutenant General Gu Hisao was taken aback, and then urged eagerly, "Anan-kun, you can't do this.

We have already suffered a lot of this kind of loss. Once the number and density of troops are too large, it is very easy to be covered by the firepower of the enemy artillery group!It is precisely because of the lessons learned many times that I advocate that only one regiment can be deployed at a time, and it is safest to spread the troops to attack! "

"Mr. Gu!" Lieutenant General Anan changed from irritability to anxiety, "I understand your worries, but the war is happening now and then! Previously, it is true that you have had enough of the hardships of the Chinese army's mountaintop artillery group, but now, they I no longer have this ability. A large number of Nanjing Chinese Army elites and heavy weapons have already broken out of Nanjing City. Although it is a good thing to be cautious, it is not "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes." Excessive caution is mediocrity. up.

You see, during the battle of Shence Gate, the Chinese Army did not have heavy firepower!"

"But..." Lieutenant General Tani Hisao hesitated to speak.

"Mr. Gu!" Lieutenant General Anan looked smug, "The time has come to take Nanjing quickly! We should push forward decisively!" He waved his hand, "We have already entered the city of Nanjing! We shouldn't wait any longer. Got it!"

"Mr. Xiao!" Wang Yecheng, commander of the artillery group in the Tianbao Mountain artillery group in Zijin Mountain, looked tearfully at Xiao Yao who was holding a binoculars beside him, "Did you see that? Those brothers all... Self-immolation!"

"I saw it!" Xiao Yao's tone was calm as always, but there was a bit of unbearable expression on his face.

"Why didn't you fire?" Wang Yecheng was almost irritable, "Dashengguan was lost, we didn't fire, Beigu Mountain was lost, we didn't fire, Hongshan was lost, we didn't fire, now, Shence Gate is lost, we still What are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for the best opportunity!" Xiao Yao said decisively, "If you fire the cannon now, you can only kill a few thousand Japanese soldiers at most, but if you fire later, you can even kill tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers! We will not let the blood of those brothers be in vain. Fuck! I won’t let them die in peace! Next, the real street fighting will begin! Just wait!”

Chapter 339 Crazy City (9)

"After officially breaking through the Nanjing Army's outer defense line, the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere that had suppressed the hearts of the troops for a long time seemed to be blown by a strong wind. Although it can't be said to have disappeared, it is indeed far less dead than before, full of a lot of hope.

Many people began to talk loudly again, blaming Fang Qiu at the city of Nanjing, talking and laughing happily. Obviously, they have regained their confidence, and the facts seem to prove this point.

During the offensives at the main positions of the Nanjing Army, such as Dasheng Pass, Beigu Mountain, Hongshan, Shence Gate, etc., the performance of the Nanjing Army was not as good as before. Although the spirit was still extremely tenacious, the combat effectiveness and firepower were obviously inferior to the previous ones. , which reduced the difficulty of our army's attack by more than half, and the ratio of casualties between the enemy and the enemy has slightly exceeded one to one.

This is indeed very gratifying, but my intuition tells me that things may not be so simple. The Nanjing Army may be preserving its strength, waiting for an opportunity, and preparing for a counterattack.

I solemnly told Anan, the head of the Second Division, and others of my views, and repeatedly reminded them not to be careless or careless. On the surface, they nodded in agreement, but in fact they didn't take it seriously, and even secretly made fun of me for worrying.

They can't wait, they can't wait to capture Nanjing, a fortified city that has proven to be much more difficult than Lushun, and capture this city that is already a symbol of China's anti-Japanese spirit and the capital of China, so they are becoming less and less cautious and scrambling for the first China is more and more eager for quick success.

Sure enough, something painful and regretful happened, and my guess without evidence proved to be correct!Nanjing Army!Nanjing Army!This army is really hard to deal with!I didn't dare to despise this army at first, then I deeply valued this army, and later, I both respected and hated this army. Feeling afraid, I have to admit, this army is too powerful!It has almost all the advantages and specialties that the army should have.

Originally, many people estimated that Nanjing would be officially captured in one month or even half a month. After all, this long and cruel battle has made us tired. The end of the Battle of Nanjing, which is coming to an end, is still almost hopelessly far away.

We broke through the outer line of defense of the Nanjing Army, and did not open the door to victory, on the contrary, we actually opened the door to the No.17 Hell from the No.18 Hell!" - Excerpted from Neiji Okamura The Lieutenant General's Field Diary.

截至1938年5月1日,日军在南京战场上累计伤亡24.8万人,其中死亡14.4万人;

截至1938年5月2日,日军在南京战场上累计伤亡26.8万人,其中死亡15.9万人。

In just one day and one night, the Japanese army suffered a heavy price of 2 casualties, of which 1.5 died, setting an almost unbelievable record for the speed of troop loss.

After the statistical report came out, Lieutenant General Hata Jun-liu and other high-level Japanese troops were put into a state of petrification.

The reason why the Japanese army lost so many soldiers at once is very simple. The Nanjing army is "getting serious".

Watching teams of militiamen put on regular army uniforms, pick up regular army weapons, "pretend" regular army, pass in front of me, and stand in front of me, and listen to the solemn sentence before they leave with a smile, "Don't let our blood down!" "; Watching teams of militiamen flying blood and flesh in the crazy attack of the Japanese army but would rather die than retreat, fighting hard until the last drop of blood and finally turning into torn apart, messy remains, all kinds of things... let the Nanjing Army The veterans of the regular army have long been gnashing their teeth with resentment, heartbroken with grief, and burning with anxiety. The "Chinese Heroes Daily" described: "Everyone is angry, their eyes are red, tears are like weeping blood, and their angry eyes are like fire. ", "Tens of thousands of soldiers are bleeding from the eyes, clenched their fists, nails into the flesh, just waiting for the order to fight back."

Xiao Yao's actions aroused great "public indignation". Seven or eight military officers came to him and questioned him:

"Why let the militia stand in front of the regular army?"

Xiao Yao calmly replied almost indifferently: "In order to make it easier for the Japanese army to attack and kill them, so as to paralyze the Japanese army!"

"Why only [-] rounds of ammunition are given to each of the militiamen? There are still a large number of ammunition in the ammunition depot!"

"In order to make it easier for the Japanese army to attack and kill them, so as to paralyze the Japanese army!"

"Why are half the machine guns, mortars, grenadiers, infantry artillery removed from the militia?"

"In order to make it easier for the Japanese army to attack and kill them, so as to paralyze the Japanese army!"

"Why doesn't our mountaintop heavy artillery group fire to reinforce the militia?"

Xiao Yao is like a repeater, not only the words are the same, but also the expression and tone are unchanged: "In order to make it easier for the Japanese army to attack and kill them, so as to paralyze the Japanese army!"

"What is the purpose of paralyzing the Japanese army?"

"In order to make it easier for you to attack and kill the Japanese army!" Xiao Yao suddenly said in a stern tone, "We are all people who are going to die in Nanjing! What's the difference if we die early or die later? If we can kill the Japanese army better, why not change the order? ? What you have to do is to wait for orders! Prepare to fight back! Just don’t let down the blood of those militiamen! Do you understand?”

The officers all shed tears: "Understood!"

Xiao Yao looked at these officers: "Before the counterattack started, you were all locked up!"

The officers were very surprised: "Why?"

Xiao Yao replied coldly: "How do I know if there are any Japanese spies among you?"

On the night of May 5, tens of thousands of Japanese troops with the 1nd Division as the main force passed through the gap of the occupied Shence Gate and flooded into Guangdong Road, which is just north of Nanjing City, and then roared and flooded Guangdong Mountain Villa, Wanfo Temple, Tongji Temple, etc. Around the home alley.

In this regard, Lieutenant Generals Okamura and Lieutenant General Tani Hisao advised Lieutenant General Anan to "don't act too hastily" and "it's dark, and night battles are too threatening", but Lieutenant General Anan turned a deaf ear to him. The victory, the morale is boosted, the enemy is exhausted, and the combat power is sluggish. Now is the opportunity for our army to make persistent efforts and go all out! We must seize every minute of the time! Do our best to expand the results of the battle so that the overall situation will completely fall to us Army! It’s getting dark, which is indeed beneficial to the enemy’s defense, but it is even more conducive to our army’s attack!” In fact, Lieutenant General Anan’s "decisive attack" did achieve great results. Most of the night, the 1nd Division From Shence Gate all the way to Xuanwu Gate, it was not until they encountered the building of the former Kuomintang Central Party Headquarters near Xuanwu Gate that its unstoppable offensive was contained. The Central Party Headquarters Building was built by the Nanjing Army into a nearly fortress The big blockhouse frustrated the offensive of the 2nd Division. Despite this, the 2nd Division still achieved major results, eating about one-fifteenth of the area of ​​Nanjing's inner city for most of the night, and even the 2th Brigade of the division Part of the 15th Regiment reached Louzi Lane west of Guangdong Road, only 30 meters away from the Ministry of Railways building where the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters is located. Although it was immediately repelled, this major breakthrough still excited the Japanese army.

"Anan Jun is really a tiger general of the imperial army! After breaking into the city, the momentum is like a broken bamboo. The Second Division really deserves to be the Second Division!"

"Yeah, compared to Ananjun's daring to fight, we really seem too timid and timid!"

"Gentlemen, what are we waiting for? Why don't we launch a strong attack with the Second Division?"

"Anan-kun has set an example for us! If all of us are like Anan-kun, and every unit is like the second division, we will surely achieve more fruitful results!"

The success of the 2nd Division frequently made the other division heads of the Japanese army unable to sit still, and then asked Lieutenant General Hata Toshi-six to participate in the "assault" in the urban area.

Lieutenant General Hata Jun 2 acquiesced in the beginning that the 2nd Division's fierce rush was actually asking for directions. He wanted to use the [-]nd Division to test the depth of the water in the city. Finally, the inside was full of soft flesh. However, Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro remained calm and cautious. He ordered several division heads who volunteered to join the battle formation to "use at most one reinforced regiment to enter the city."

It should be said that Lieutenant General Hata Shun-liu's order was very comprehensive, but he forgot a tradition in the Japanese army, which is "deceitful and self-assertive". The order adopted an attitude of obedience and injustice. The "reinforced alliance" they used was actually at the brigade level, and even a brigade was only participating in the war in the name of the alliance.
