I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

The sky of Nanjing City is like red dark clouds shining with lightning under the reflection of artillery fire and flares.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't see the miserable appearance of the Japanese army in the area covered by artillery fire, and of course he couldn't hear it, but he imagined that he must have fallen into hell.

This heavy shelling and bombing lasted for more than half an hour. After the end, the "artificial earthquake" in Nanjing finally stopped slowly. Unable to see, gunpowder smoke like black clouds and dust like sandstorms hang over the shelled and bombed areas.

Amidst the black clouds and sandstorms, there was a loud cry of killing comparable to the shelling and bombing just now, and the Nanjing army launched a big counterattack. Amidst the burning ruins, the infantry roared towards the Japanese army with overwhelming momentum.

In order to obtain the greatest results, the Nanjing Army invested all its troops in this counterattack. More than [-] elite veterans and more than [-] militiamen rushed to the Japanese army that had already broken into the city amidst the roar of anger.

The anger that the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle had already suppressed to the point of exploding erupted completely at this moment like a volcanic eruption.

"Chinese Heroes Daily" described: "...Our army's morale is like a rainbow, no one does not chew their teeth and bleeds, fight back desperately, fight for size, fight fiercely everywhere, the roar of killing thieves resounds all over the field, the enemy and us desperately fight, the mountains and rivers Shocked, the sound moved the rivers and rivers, the momentum was like thunder and lightning, corpses filled the streets and alleys, blood filled the city walls!"

There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

When Jiang Weiguo went to find Xiao Yao, he found that Xiao Yao was curled up on a chair in the combat room and taking a nap. After Jiang Weiguo woke him up, he said disapprovingly, "Why don't you take a rest? Anyway, we have already won!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled heartily.

Xiao Yao thought for a while, and thought of something: "By the way, the specific number of enemies wiped out is still unclear, and the battle is still going on, but the consumption of ammunition has been calculated.

Our army has consumed more than 2 rounds of various types of shells, including about 800 rounds of large-caliber heavy artillery shells, and the air force fleet dropped more than [-] tons of bombs!"

Jiang Weiguo suddenly felt as if his heart was being put into the best old Shanxi vinegar, and he was heartbroken: "Damn it! It cost too much! Damn Yankee, he can fight like this in every battle!" Rich, Yankees are so fucking rich!"

The northern urban area of ​​Nanjing City is already a huge ruin "mixed with a lot of rubble, a lot of smoke, a lot of blood, and a lot of smashed and smashed human body fragments that can't be seen in their original form". More than 5000 houses have been razed to the ground , the urban area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers disappeared, completely reduced to scorched earth.

The counterattacking Nanjing Army managed to recapture the above urban areas almost effortlessly. The reason is very simple. There was no resistance at all. The Japanese soldiers in these urban areas were almost dead, or were smeared all over the ground, or rotten enough to splash a wall. "There are grotesque corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. Hands, feet, heads, bodies that look like they have been disembowelled by a butcher, mixed with a lot of weapon fragments, scattered in front of us!" A company commander of the Nanjing Army described, "How should I put it? It's like stuffing this city and the ghost soldiers inside into a shredder, and then putting it back where it was, and it becomes the picture before us, with a pool of blood on the left and a mass of rotten meat on the right. One leg in the front and one hand in the back. Looking up, there are red and black mixed colors everywhere. The devils that were completely blown up must be near the bombing point. Many devils look intact. Go up With a kick, the eyes, mouth, ears, and nose flow out of purple-black blood and then fall down. They are shocked to death. Occasionally, you can encounter devil soldiers who are not dead. There are two types of devil soldiers. One is to resist in a dying struggle , the other is standing staggeringly, looking very strange, with a dull expression, dull eyes, confused, some crying and laughing, some looking at us stupidly, not resisting at all, this is a shock. Bad-brained or frightened ghost soldiers turned into idiots.

Some devil soldiers surrendered to us!That's right!Some devil soldiers surrendered to us!In twos and threes, not many, but a lot, we were so proud to find out!Damn, the ghost soldiers who have always been like animals who are not afraid of death and would rather die than surrender have surrendered to us!They were scared by us!These ghost soldiers were all disheveled, ragged, and terrified and trembling like mice, with their hands raised high and small white cloths standing upright.

Oh, of course we didn't catch them, the ghost knows if they are playing tricks, not to mention, the brothers are all red-eyed, seeing that the living devils are all shot, and they don't want to accept the surrender of the devils at all.

The brothers passed through the city that had completely turned into scorched earth, and finally encountered a large number of devils. Some of these devils were not destroyed because they were on the edge of the area covered by artillery fire, and some came to respond. When the brothers saw the devils, they were all excited. With red eyes, screaming and rushing forward, they pressed the Japanese army firmly like a bulldozer, and the Japanese army was indeed on the verge of collapse, because they suffered heavy losses and had no fighting spirit. They were chased and beaten by their brothers, and they did not even fight back courage.

The brothers chased and fought fiercely in the hearty joy, and killed the Japanese soldiers. They screamed at the sky and grabbed the ground where they were, but we killed them one by one like chickens.

This battle was fought with great joy and hatred!"

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in this battle.

Xuanwu Lake is located in the northern urban area. After the bombardment and bombing began, a large number of Japanese troops who had been bombed to the sky and had no way to enter the ground jumped into Xuanwu Lake in a panic to avoid the artillery fire. The Nanjing Army on the five continents in the lake immediately used The machine guns fired violently at the surface of the lake, causing blood to splash and rippling on the surface of the lake. A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed in the lake. After dawn, the defenders of Xuanwu Lake Wuzhou discovered that the entire lake water of Xuanwu Lake was dyed pink. The densely packed corpses of Japanese soldiers were floating in the lake.

According to statistics, in the entire counterattack of the Nanjing Army, the Japanese army killed and injured a total of 2 people, and more than 1.5 people died. The infantry units were killed or wounded in the counterattack.

In the front-line headquarters of the Central China Front Army of the Japanese Army, looking at the casualty and loss statistics report sent to him, Lieutenant General Hata Shunliu's hands trembled violently as if he had chicken claws.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro muttered to himself, "How should I explain to His Majesty the Emperor? I lost so many soldiers all at once..."

Everyone at the scene didn't say a word, because they didn't dare to speak, all of them turned pale and looked at each other, seeing extreme shock and completely unconcealable horror in each other's eyes.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!" Lieutenant General Okamura stepped forward, "Please don't be discouraged, we still have a way!"

"Is there any other way?" Lieutenant General Hata Toshiro asked with a wry smile.

Lieutenant General Okamura stepped forward again, and said in a low voice: "The tunnel is about to be dug!"

Tangshan Town was the first extended main position of the Nanjing Army captured by the Japanese army on the Nanjing battlefield. After the Japanese army officially occupied it, it was apparently built as the most advanced material base and front-line headquarters of the Japanese army on the Nanjing battlefield. In fact, the project of excavating the tunnel is being carried out secretly.

Because Tangshan Town is the most advanced material base and front-line general headquarters of the Japanese army on the Nanjing battlefield, the Japanese army has carried out very strict guards here. Almost a division of troops has been stationed here for a long time. In advance, the special forces and scouts of the Nanjing Army tried many times to spy on the situation here, but all ended in failure.

It can be said that Lieutenant General Okamura took great pains to keep it secret. Once such an incident happened, he deliberately asked another division commander to draw a detachment from that division, disguised as "Japanese soldiers disguised as Chinese soldiers" to pass A checkpoint in Tangshan Town, this Japanese army unit was exactly the same as the Japanese army except that they could not answer the export orders (it was originally a Japanese army). The Japanese squadron guarding that checkpoint did not stop them. After knowing the password of the night, "the detachment" was released. In the end, Lieutenant General Okamura notified the whole army of the incident. The squadron leader was executed because of negligence of duty, and the three squad leaders were executed because they "failed to advise and stop the chief when he violated the regulations."

After the incident was notified to the entire army, the Japanese troops in Tangshan Town were all awed by it, and they strictly carried out Lieutenant General Okamura's order, making it impossible for the Nanjing Army to investigate the situation in Tangshan Town.

In Tangshan Town, the three Korean divisions of the Japanese army were digging tunnels day and night, leading from Tangshan Town to Zijin Mountain and Nanjing City.

This is a very large project. First of all, digging one or several tunnels is definitely not enough, so the Japanese army dug dozens of tunnels, half of which were real and half of which were fake, in order to confuse the Nanjing army; secondly, the Nanjing area is adjacent to the Yangtze River. , the groundwater is very rich, and the Japanese army can’t dig a few meters, and the soil layer will seep, so the engineering of digging the tunnel is relatively difficult, and the Japanese army has to do everything possible to keep it secret. Naturally, the progress of the Japanese army is relatively slow, but they have been very firm. In progress.

It was the three North Korean divisions (27th, 28th, and 29th divisions) who did this, because if the Japanese army dug their own tunnels, it would definitely cost soldiers and manpower. He is the most ideal candidate. The North Korean division once fought against the Nanjing Army on the Nanjing battlefield, and the result was that it was defeated at the first touch, and then became a "chicken rib" in the eyes of the Japanese military high-level. It was useless, and it was a waste of food. Migrant workers, of course, couldn't be more suitable.

Right now, the tunnel is almost dug.

Lieutenant General Okamura’s plan was: to dig a part of the tunnels into the Nanjing Army’s tunnel network, thereby capturing the Nanjing Army’s tunnels and entering into the Nanjing Army’s interior through the Nanjing Army’s tunnels; Dynamite blasts.

A two-pronged approach to break through the defense line of the Nanjing Army, especially the removal of Zijin Mountain, which overlooks the entire Nanjing city, and the heavy artillery group on the top of the mountain covers almost the entire Nanjing battlefield. If the Japanese army controls the Zijin Mountain heavy artillery group, even if it cannot be destroyed, the meaning All great.

Lieutenant General Okamura's view on the steps of the Battle of Nanjing is: If you want to win Nanjing City, you must first win Zijin Mountain.

It would be almost impossible to win Nanjing City without taking Zijin Mountain.

So he strongly opposed directly entering the urban area, but Lieutenant General Anan and others were eager for quick success and did not listen to his earnest words. As a result, they suffered an extremely disastrous defeat. The 2nd Division was almost disabled, and the 6th Division and other departments were also vigorous He was so badly injured that he almost couldn't recover after a setback.

There is an important key to tunneling: the precise location of the target.

If the Japanese army didn't know the location of the Nanjing Army's tunnel network, the Japanese army could only dig around like earthworms, which is obviously impossible.

Lieutenant General Okamura has no problem with this, because he has a full set of drawings of the Nanjing Army's tunnel network branch in his hand.

Rewind the time to a certain late night more than a month ago, in a room in a large public basement in Nanjing.

In a certain workshop, the desk lamp was dimly lit, and two people were "fighting" beside the desk lamp.

"Why are you here? Don't bother me! I'm writing a manuscript!" A woman said angrily, it was Liu Wugou's voice.

"It's nothing, I miss you!" A man giggled casually, and it was Jiang Weiguo's voice.

"Don't come here! Hey! You are here again...I hit you! What are you doing? Jiang Weiguo! Why are you so obscene?"

"Nonsense! Do I want to sit still like Liu Xiahui in front of my wife?"

"Who is your wife? Did we get the certificate? You... bastard! Are you crazy? What if someone comes?"

"It's okay! I asked Sun Tao and the others to watch outside! No one will disturb us..."

The two were "fighting and fighting", and soon became a "ball". Immediately, there was a gasp that was not suitable for children in the room.

More than half an hour later, the two left the room holding hands while bickering as usual.

In the quiet room, a cabinet was opened, and a person who had been hiding in it sneaked out quietly. This person went to the workshop where Jiang Weiguo and Liu Wugou were "doing things that are not suitable for children" just now, and picked up a file package. And opened it, the person's pupils constricted immediately: "This bastard, you've lost your head when you're a woman, and you left such an important thing here! It's really great!"

Chapter 341 Liecheng (1)

On May 159, [-], the [-]th day of the Battle of Nanjing.

This day is this year's Mother's Day. On this day, many mothers in China and Japan have received notices of their sons' death in battle.

A quarter of the urban area has been reduced to ruins, and another three-quarters of the urban area has been riddled with holes. On the battlefield of Nanjing City, the endless fierce battles are still going on, and Chinese and Japanese soldiers fall on the rubble every moment. In a room, in a pool of blood, on a pile of dead people.

After being severely injured by the "Fire Storm" of the Nanjing Army, the Japanese army did not dare to attack on a large scale, and instead adopted the tactics of "dispersing troops and advancing in multiple directions".

In fact, the Nanjing Army could not afford the second "Sea of ​​Fire Storm". After all, capital was limited. The "Sea of ​​Fire Storm" that killed and injured 2 Japanese troops cost almost three-fifths of the Nanjing Army. ammunition stockpile.

Despite this, the Japanese army has been beaten into a frightened bird. However, the Japanese army, who was unable to get off the tiger or had other plans, did not give up continuing to attack the city, but instead used the method of "nibbling step by step" to swallow the control of the Nanjing Army bit by bit. district.

Although such tactics are cautious, calm, and safe, to avoid a large number of casualties due to shelling and bombing again, the essence is actually just changing from "tens of thousands of deaths at once" to "slowly accumulating tens of thousands of deaths".

In fact, the Japanese army wanted to fight in the streets, and the Nanjing army was well prepared and could not wait for it.

The fortifications, bunkers, tunnels, strongholds, and firepower points all over the city made the city of Nanjing look like a piece of fat stuffed with a lot of thumbtacks.

In the words of Lieutenant General Hata Jun-liu, "Nanjing City has become a huge wound of the imperial army that bleeds continuously day and night." "Facts have thoroughly proved that the decision to attack Nanjing was a major tactical and even strategic mistake. And the most distressing thing is that there is no way to correct this great mistake after it was committed."

The battle was as fierce, brutal, and bloody as ever, and what made the Japanese army even more desperate than this was that there was almost no hope of victory, and the day of victory was nowhere in sight.

Even the most hard-headed Japanese officers and soldiers at the grassroots level have realized this and are deeply immersed in the despair brought about by this point. The proportion of "disapproved" letters written by Japanese officers and soldiers to their families and sent back to China is increasing day by day, because More and more, nearly half of the letters from the Japanese army revealed "decadent remarks" that "leaked military secrets and affected the national spirit", such as: "The imperial army may not be able to defeat Nanjing at all. Yes, our loss is very heavy." "I'm really scared, so many comrades have died, I don't know if I can leave the Nanjing battlefield alive." "I'm tired, I don't want to fight anymore" and so on. Letters from the Japanese army were subject to review before being mailed back to China, and letters found to have the above "decadent remarks" were directly not allowed to be mailed back to China.

Yukio Komata, a well-known Japanese war correspondent, wrote a report on the battlefield, but he was ordered not to publish it. He had no choice but to write the report in his diary. The general content is as follows: "...This afternoon, Kudo Dazuo (Major Kudo Shintaka, commander of the 108th Regiment of the 104th Brigade of the 105th Division of the Japanese Army) reported an incident to Maj. I was interviewing Major General Tomyede, only to see that Major General Tomyede's face turned pale first and then livid. He stood up furiously and cursed, "This is a disgrace to the 108th Brigade! It is even more a disgrace to the 104th Division! Even the entire University Disgrace to the Japanese Imperial Army! How could this happen? Never forgive!' He looked at Kudo Colonel 'Where are those three cowardly bastards?' and learned that 'those three cowardly bastards' were in the brigade hospital for wounded soldiers Afterwards, Major General Tommidi rushed over angrily and murderously, and personally dragged the three wounded soldiers from the hospital bed to the outside of the hospital. One of the three wounded soldiers was shot in the leg, one in the arm, and one in the foot. Seeing the head of the brigade with fierce eyes, the three wounded soldiers were all out of their wits, begging for mercy desperately.

Major General Tomidi looked at the other people at the scene with a stern voice, and said loudly, "Do you know what these three cowards are doing?"Their injuries were self-inflicted!They secretly shot at each other in places where they weren't vital, trying to escape the fight!As a soldier of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, he was greatly favored by the emperor, and it is only natural to serve the empire and be loyal to the emperor through life and death!Such shameful behavior is absolutely not allowed!Anyone who does this will end up just like them! After finishing speaking, he suddenly pulled out his saber and chopped off the heads of three wounded soldiers one by one.

...I suddenly felt very unbearable, and at the same time very disturbed, because I noticed that the morale of the imperial army on the Nanjing battlefield was in an unprecedented depression and decadence.

... "

Compared with the sluggish morale and low fighting spirit of the Japanese army, the Nanjing Army was just the opposite.

Although the Nanjing Army's control area at this time is less than half of what it was at the beginning of the war, the density of troops in the Nanjing Army's defense area has not decreased, and the continuous stage victories have stimulated the officers and soldiers to fight without forgetting themselves, and the street fighting fortifications have also It is very complete and complete, so the officers and soldiers scrambled to be the first to kill the enemy bravely, and the intensity of the battle did not decrease but increased.

By this point in the war, the Japanese army had indeed broken through a large part of the Nanjing Army's defenses outside the city, poured into the city, and officially started street fighting. The final victory was not far away, but almost none of the senior Japanese generals thought so, because the intensity of street fighting in Nanjing was no less intense than that of the outer positions, and it was even more unbearable for the Japanese army. Among them, the street fighting in the vicinity of the Ministry of Railways building was the most Intense and typical.

The Ministry of Railways Building, located in the northwest of Nanjing City and south of Jinchuan Gate, is where the Nanjing Garrison Command is located. After the Japanese army launched street fighting, it has always been the focus of attack. The reason is needless to say, but the Ministry of Railways building is completely a big blockhouse. The former Military and Political Department building and the former Agricultural College building adjacent to it are also large three-dimensional blockhouses, and hundreds of private houses around them have also been transformed into hundreds of small blockhouses, dotted with stars and covering each other, surrounded by stars and moons surrounding the Ministry of Railways The building, the building of the Military and Political Department, and the building of the Agricultural College are completely a series of bunkers, connected to each other like a spider's web through trenches, trenches, traffic trenches, and tunnels.

The 108th Division of the Japanese Army was ordered to attack here, because the original main force of the 2nd and 6th Divisions had been disabled. Soon, the 108th Division was the same as the 2nd and 6th Divisions. The birthplace was maimed.

Amidst the dark clouds of gunpowder smoke, a large number of Japanese troops stepped on the rubble everywhere amidst the howls of officers, and rushed towards the building of the Ministry of Railways. Four extremely expensive Type [-] tanks slowly advanced in front of the infantry crowd for fire reinforcement. Mortarists and grenadiers in the rear began to cover the infantry with sparse, intermittent fire.

The deeper the Japanese artillery went into the city, the less they dared to let go of the Japanese artillery. Whether it was a howitzer or a mortar, if they fixed a continuous bombardment in a certain place or formed an artillery position with multiple artillery pieces, they would almost 5% be under artillery fire from the Nanjing Army within [-] minutes. The suppression mainly came from Zijin Mountain and Mufu Mountain. The urban area of ​​Nanjing is completely within the artillery range of these two mountains. The artillery is almost "pointing and hitting". Zijin Mountain and Shogun Mountain had no power to fight back, because the cannons on the mountain were in the tunnel fortifications, and the shells had almost no destructive power when fired. Therefore, the Japanese army who started the street fighting had almost no real artillery cover. The Japanese army's infantry artillery, mountain artillery, mortars, and grenades had to be used scatteredly, resulting in little damage to the Nanjing Army's street fighting fortifications, which in turn led to the Japanese army having to use their flesh and blood to fight head-to-head.

Lieutenant General Shimomoto Kumaya, the head of the 108th Division who personally supervised the battle, raised his binoculars at the edge of the battle area.

"Boom!" A scream of "ah" sounded, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground in a thunderbolt, blood splattered everywhere, and then screamed and rolled, one of his feet was missing, The crotch and thighs were bloody, because I stepped on a landmine.

The Nanjing army planted almost countless landmines in the city, all of which could be called "wicked" landmines. Basically, they couldn't kill people, but they could blow up a foot, creating a large number of disabled and wounded soldiers for the Japanese army.

The Japanese army suffered a lot, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were disabled as a result.

From time to time, some people in the groping Japanese army stepped on landmines, and then there was a muffled sound of "boom!", and a Japanese Type [-] tank that was driving slowly on the stone road and was responsible for leading the way suddenly collapsed like an elevator, and the dust was flying , Gravel flurry.

General Xia Yuanzhong felt a pain in his heart and was very angry at the same time, because the Type [-] tank drove into a trap set by the Nanjing Army. Under the road, engineers from the Nanjing Army had dug a square pit in advance. It was more than five meters deep and filled with mud and sewage. It is very strong, Japanese infantry walked on it, and Japanese cars drove on it, but the Japanese tanks crushed the stone slabs instantly because of their heavy weight, and fell straight into the trap and could not extricate themselves.

There are such traps everywhere in Nanjing City, scattered on various roads.

Of course, the Nanjing army knew the location of the trap, but the Japanese army didn't know it, so they frequently fell for it.

"Baga! Rescue the chariot!" An infantry squadron leader next to the Type [-] tank commanded hoarsely.

The Japanese soldiers rushed to rescue them. Some drove trucks to tow the tanks, some picked up cables to tow the tanks, and some picked up engineering shovels, engineering picks and other tools to dig out the trap. Tanks can be rescued by towing.

But in the next second, a piercing scream sounded like tearing linen. It was the roar of the German-made mg-34 general-purpose machine gun unique to the Nanjing Army. Dancing in the screams and splashing blood, more than three mg-34 machine guns from the Nanjing Army "take advantage of the danger" to shoot at the Japanese troops. The positions of the three machine guns are very clever. The ones protruded from the unremarkable ruins, one protruded from an ordinary house, and the other even protruded from the dog hole of a house, and a bunch of flowers were placed outside the dog hole. Completely conceals the machine gun inside.

In just 30 seconds, dozens of Japanese soldiers who were preparing to rescue the Type [-] tank by the trap were all shot to death in a pool of blood, and even a few mortar shells and grenadier shells from the Nanjing Army roared over. , and exploded a mass of flying flesh and blood, which was sure to make the Japanese army shudder.
