I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"They're in the water!" The Japanese cavalry shouted, raising their carbine guns and aiming at the blood-stained place.

Chen Ming and Sun Jian immediately emerged from the lake with the guards: "Damn it! Fight it!" They roared and fired at the Japanese cavalry by the lake with their submachine guns. A dozen Japanese cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and the rest of the Japanese cavalry opened fire one after another. Immediately, a guard was shot in the lake, spraying blood mist on his body, staining the lake surface red.

"Dead!" Jiang Weiguo was terrified, feeling that the blood all over his body was frozen.

The roar of Chinese and the sound of rain-like bullets sounded behind the Japanese cavalry. The Japanese cavalry who were caught off guard were shot and fell to their deaths. Behind is Du Yuming's troops.

Du Yuming didn't know Jiang Weiguo's whereabouts at first, but he was not idle in the middle of the night, and sent Liao Yaoxiang with an elite reinforcement battalion to search in Laoshan.

Liao Yaoxiang was very shrewd. He led his troops to follow the gunshots and flames in the forest to search all the way. At any rate, he arrived when Jiang Weiguo was almost dead.

"How is it like acting in a TV series!" Jiang Weiguo thought to himself, and then climbed ashore from the lake in embarrassment.

"Jianhao!" After seeing Jiang Weiguo, Liao Yaoxiang almost cried with joy, "Thank God you are fine!"

The Japanese cavalry had been driven back by Liao Yaoxiang. Seeing that the surroundings were safe, Jiang Weiguo hurried to find Yang Mei: "What happened just now? Who are those two people?"

Yang Mei was helping a person from the lake, while Chen Ming and Sun Jian were picking up a person from the lake at the same time.

Jiang Weiguo was stunned at the first glance: "Fang Bingbing? Cheng Jinguan?"

Fang Bingbing had a terrible knife wound on her left arm. Her skin was torn apart and dripping with blood. She was stabbed by Cheng Jinguan in the lake. Cheng Jinguan stabbed her in the chest. Fang Bingbing blocked it with his left arm. As for Cheng Jinguan himself , was already dead, his eyes were wide open, and he was stabbed in the abdomen by Yangmei.

Jiang Weiguo saw two people fighting just now, namely Cheng Jinguan and Fang Bingbing. Cheng Jinguan stabbed Fang Bingbing with a knife and dragged Fang Bingbing to the bottom of the lake, almost causing Fang Bingbing to die of bleeding or drowning. He took away Cheng Jinguan's dagger and killed him with one knife.

"Cheng Jinguan..." Fang Bingbing looked at Jiang Weiguo in shock, "I'm going to shoot you...I saw it, so I stopped it. I snatched his pistol, and he pulled out the knife..." She hurt A pretty face was deformed.

"It can't kill you, but the sound of gunfire can also attract the attention of the Japanese army by the lake!" Yang Mei bandaged Fang Bingbing's wound, "The radio station...it must have been broken by Cheng Jinguan himself!" She raised her head and gave Jiang Weiguo a look. "Tell you to steal someone's wife!"

"I..." Jiang Weiguo was speechless. He looked at Cheng Jinguan's body next to him. Cheng Jinguan was dying. Although his eyes had lost their luster and luster, Jiang Weiguo shuddered. "Brother, why are you doing this... "He sighed a long time, he seemed to understand that the person who leaked his route and time was Cheng Jinguan.

Full of deep thoughts, Jiang Weiguo crossed Laoshan under the protection of Liao Yaoxiang, and evacuated Nanjing during the day.

Chapter 377 Armistice

After initially regaining consciousness, Sheng Zhiyong felt a splitting headache. With difficulty, he pushed away four or five corpses pressing down on him, staggered and staggered to his feet, knelt down and coughed loudly before he could take a step. The smoke was so thick it was almost suffocating.

Barely taking a breath, Sheng Zhiyong stood up dizzily, with sore eyes wide open, he saw the black glue-like gunpowder smoke floating in the air, everything was quiet, the sound of guns and explosions disappeared, and the sound of fighting No more, standing on a position in Zijin Mountain, he looked around, Zijin Mountain was completely a pile of scorched earth riddled with holes and beyond recognition. Although it was midsummer at this time, there was no life, no green on the mountain, only shocking The black scorched earth, large groups of purple blood stains, the gray uniforms of the Nanjing Army's dead, and the yellow uniforms of the Japanese Army's dead were piled up all over the surface of the mountain. The whole mountain was not only lifeless but also ugly, and the Nanjing Army went crazy. The trenches, trenches, and traffic trenches dug out like a net made the surface of the mountain like a net, and the shells fired by the Japanese army like crazy bombed the mountains and fields with dense, layered bomb craters, turning vegetation into ashes and human flesh into mud.

Sheng Zhiyong felt that Zijin Mountain was more like a large graveyard, a huge mass grave where tens of thousands of Chinese and Japanese soldiers were buried. He raised his legs with difficulty and took the first step. Into the knee-deep loose soil and gravel, the Japanese artillery shells blew up the soil and rocks on the surface of Zijin Mountain almost into powder and slag. Walking on it is like walking on the beach. The crushed soil and rocks are mixed with human flesh and blood, forming a Sticky, bright red bloody lumps.

The red mud powder is full of corpses of dead people, some are complete or almost complete, and most of them are decapitated, torn apart, and countless bullet casings, shell fragments, weapon wreckage, and military uniform fragments.

"Where are the brothers?" Sheng Zhiyong felt panic, and then he felt even more confused, "Where are the Japanese soldiers?" He looked around desperately, and there were only dead Japanese soldiers on Zijin Mountain, no living Japanese soldiers, and no more locust-like soldiers. The scene where the Japanese army kept rushing, and there were no Japanese troops in the nearby city of Nanjing, leaving only endless ruins, rubble, dead people, and all kinds of garbage.

"The Japanese army is retreating!" In a nearby position, a low-level officer of the Nanjing Army shouted hoarsely, "Brothers! The Japanese army is retreating! The devils are retreating!"

"What?" Sheng Zhiyong was taken aback, his mind was buzzing, "The Japanese army retreated? Why did they retreat?"

"Retreat! They are retreating!" the officer shouted, and suddenly burst into tears, "We have won the battle! Nanjing is not lost! The Japanese army has been repulsed by us! Brothers, open your eyes and take a look!" ! We won the battle!" He knelt down, facing the mountains of corpses on the battlefield, and wailed almost tragically.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who were waiting for a new round of Japanese attack came out of the trenches, trenches, and tunnels on the Zijin Mountain position where the smoldering flames were rising, and they discovered inconceivably that the Japanese army had completely withdrawn.

"The Japanese army has retreated! The devils have retreated!" "We have won the battle! Nanjing is not lost!" More and more officers and soldiers cheered bitterly and weeping.

Almost frenzied cries and cheers resounded through Zijin Mountain and Nanjing City.

On September 1938, 9, the third day after Jiang Weiguo left Nanjing, the Japanese troops who attacked Nanjing retreated across the board, completely giving up their attack on Nanjing.

This day is the 277th day of the Battle of Nanjing.

Nanjing held on for nine months and four days. The Japanese army captured more than seven-tenths of Nanjing's area to the greatest extent, but they still failed to fully capture Nanjing.

The entire battle of Nanjing lasted 277 days. The Chinese army successively invested about 25 troops (including the militia) and the Japanese army successively invested about 50 troops. In the end, the Chinese army won and successfully held Nanjing. During the battle , The cumulative casualties of the Japanese army were about 35, of which about 20 were killed, and the cumulative casualties of the Chinese army were about 17, of which about 8 were killed.

The Japanese army retreated across the board and completely gave up the attack on Nanjing. There were many reasons. For example, Zhang Fakui’s 8th Army was outflanking the Japanese army’s rear. Financial resources have been completely exhausted, and they are unable to continue the campaign. The Japanese army still needs to consider the Battle of Xuzhou, etc., which also involves international political mediation and so on.

At the secret negotiation meeting between China and Japan, Xu Mo, the Chinese representative and deputy foreign minister of the Nationalist Government, showed a top-secret document to the Japanese side: "The Soviet authorities secretly proposed to us a new solution to the Sino-Japanese dispute, that is, , the Soviet Union directly sent troops to participate in the Sino-Japanese War!"

The representatives of the Japanese side were all shocked, and the Japanese ambassador to China Kawagoe Shigeru said in shock: "The Soviet Union sent troops directly? It is simply a fantasy! How did the Soviets send troops? They sent troops without a name!"

Xu Mo said: "China and the Soviet Union have signed a non-aggression treaty, the Soviet Union can send troops, but not in the name of the Soviet state, but in the name of the 'Soviet Aid China Volunteers'.

What the Soviet authorities meant was that the Soviet Far East Army dispatched more than [-] mechanized troops to attack the Japanese troops in Northeast China with lightning speed, and assist our army to drive your Japanese troops out of China. Mongolia and Xinjiang are included in the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union!" He looked at the Japanese representative sharply, "Although accepting this plan of the Soviets is a loss of power and humiliation for us, and it will also plant the scourge of attracting wolves into the house, but we With no other choice, we have to consider this point. Anyway, the Northern Manchuria, Outer Mongolia, and Xinjiang that were handed over to the Soviets are not under the direct control of the central government of our country. On the contrary, we can still rely on the help of the Soviets. strength, to regain North China and southern Manchuria, which were illegally occupied by your Japanese army, it can be said that we will gain nothing if we accept the terms of the Soviets.

If we feel that the threat from Japan has surpassed that from the Soviet Union, then we will accept this plan of the Soviets!"

"Gentlemen!" The German ambassador to China who presided over the meeting, Tautman, lost no time in looking at Shigeru Kawagoe and other Japanese representatives. To the north is the Soviet Union, and both China and Japan are threatened by the Soviet Union.

China and Japan were dragged down by the war together, and were dragged down by the war. Didn't the Soviets get an opportunity to take advantage of it?Are you really willing to do that?You are fighting inextricably, but the Soviets are snickering and reaping the benefits! "

Suspicion that the Soviet Union was preparing to intervene or that China and the Soviet Union would partner to deal with Japan was one of the main reasons why Japan's top leaders finally made up their minds to end the war.

Among the high-level Japanese, the emperor and the government have no intention of continuing to fight, and the navy is also opposed. Only the army is the most resolute, but the major defeats on the battlefield have made the army's right to speak less and less, and the Japanese army desperately wants to Allied with Germany, so the attitude of the Japanese army towards China was deeply constrained by Germany, which made Germany's final mediation achieve the result Hitler dreamed of Germany had already begun to mediate the Sino-Japanese war. At that time, Japan proposed seven conditions to China, none of which were very harsh, which made Chiang Kai-shek very excited. Laying down greatly stimulated and inflated the main combat faction in Japan's high-level leadership, and set out four new conditions, all of which were very harsh, and were rejected by Chiang Kai-shek, which made Germany's mediation of the Sino-Japanese war a failure. .

).

In early September, major changes took place in the Sino-Japanese war situation.

First of all, the Japanese army completely gave up attacking Nanjing, retreated across the board, and reduced its forces to Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, and Hangzhou, and turned from offensive to defensive. The battle of Nanjing ended with the Chinese army's final victory; The 10th Division broke through, and there were 20 remnants left in the division. They suffered a devastating blow, but they were not completely wiped out by the Chinese army. The recovery cut off the possibility of the Japanese army regaining Jinan. In addition, the fifth war zone of the national army shrank its troops to Xuzhou and prepared to launch a defense battle for Xuzhou. The battle finally ended with the victory of the Chinese army defending Xuzhou and recovering Jinan.

Both China and Japan are exhausted on the battlefield, and it is a matter of course to negotiate a truce.

Regarding the conditions for negotiating an armistice, there is a big gap between China and Japan, which is also the root cause of the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides. China’s condition is: to restore the situation before the July [-]th Incident, and Japan’s influence in China can only be retained in Taiwan and Northeast China. For the four provinces, China will not recognize "Manchukuo", but it can temporarily acquiesce that the four northeastern provinces are under the substantial control of Japan. Regarding the four northeastern provinces, China's plan is that the four provinces "sovereignty belongs to China, and governance belongs to Japan." , pending discussion.

Japan's condition is: the four northeastern provinces continue to be substantially controlled by Japan. In addition, Japan also needs to get Chahar Province, Suiyuan Province, Shanxi Province, Shandong Province, Hebei Province, Beiping City, Tianjin City, Shanghai City, a total of five provinces and three cities, all the Japanese occupied areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces can be completely returned to the national government (the Japanese know that Chiang Kai-shek’s foundation is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Chiang Kai-shek could not agree that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were taken over by the Japanese However, as a matter of "sincerity", the Japanese side will "give up" one more province to the national government in the above five provinces and three cities.

One province is obviously too small, and China is very dissatisfied with this. In other words, except Jiangsu and Zhejiang, China requires the Japanese to give up all five provinces and three cities. Japan is only willing to give up one province. The gap between the two sides is too great.

At the beginning, the two sides were at a stalemate, but as the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou ended with Chinese victories, coupled with the pressure of the Germans, Japan had to make a certain "regression" again and agreed to give up two provinces or one province and one province. city ​​to China.

On September 9, Jiang Weiguo returned to Wuhan and met Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling who had been away for more than half a year.

When the family of three reunited, there was no need to talk about family affection when they met. After a sumptuous and warm dinner, Jiang Weiguo was called into the study by Chiang Kai-shek to discuss state affairs. The talk must be the current Sino-Japanese peace talks.

For this Sino-Japanese peace negotiation, Jiang Weiguo instinctively disliked it. His goal was to defeat and destroy Japan, not to "turn enemies into friends" with Japan. Taiwan also wants to take it back, even the Korean Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands, and all the things that belong to China that the Japanese robbed, and take it back with interest. However, Jiang Weiguo is also very clear at this time, China is currently unable to get back all the things.

Although the peace talks and armistice gave the Japanese a chance to breathe, China also gained a much-needed breathing space.

Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. It is currently the most suitable path for China to fight against Japan after two or three years of construction and development.

Therefore, although he was unwilling, Jiang Weiguo also recognized it, and the top priority is to try his best to get back more land from the Japanese.

"Brother Wei, don't be reconciled!" Chiang Kai-shek saw through Jiang Weiguo's inner activities at a glance, "Negotiating peace is beneficial to us and the central government.

There is no need to talk about the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Japanese will definitely return them to us. As for the five provinces and three cities, to be honest, only Shanghai was previously controlled by the central government. Among the other five provinces and two cities, Chahar Province, Hebei Province Province, Beiping City, and Tianjin City used to be Song Zheyuan's territory, Shanxi Province and Suiyuan Province were both Yan Xishan's territory, and Shandong Province was Han Fuju's territory.

Before the war, these places were not in the hands of the central government. Now that there are peace talks, the central government can take the opportunity to recover some of them.To put it bluntly, we should thank the Japanese for helping us eradicate the private armies of Song Zheyuan, Yan Xishan, and Han Fuju!" Chiang Kai-shek seemed very emotional, "In fact, I know very well that it is very difficult to return to the situation before the July 10th Incident. Well, the Japanese killed so many people on the battlefield, spent so much money and supplies, and didn't make a lot of money, how could they just let go?The July [-]th Incident was the situation before the war started, and the July [-]th Incident was still the situation when the war ended. After fighting for more than a year, the Japanese stood still, but killed tens of thousands of people and cost billions of dollars. Are they willing? "

Jiang Weiguo was silent for a while, and asked, "What's your father's plan?"

Chiang Kai-shek said: "The Japanese offered two plans, one is to return two provinces, and the other is to return one province and one city.

Originally, the Japanese were unwilling to return Shanghai, but because the national army won the battles in Nanjing and Xuzhou, and the Germans also put a lot of pressure on the Japanese, the Japanese planned to return Shanghai.

I plan to go back to Shandong Province and Shanghai, you know why!"

"Father, if it's me!" Jiang Weiguo said, "I would rather choose the first option, and I want to go back to two provinces. I think I should go back to Shandong Province and Shanxi Province!"

"Do you think Shanxi Province is more important than Shanghai?" Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "If I have to choose between Shanxi and Shanghai, I would rather have Shanxi.

But..." He became angry, "Father, what we got is still too little! "

Chiang Kai-shek shook his head and smiled wryly: "Wei'er, that's enough!"

"We are no different from the defeated country!" Jiang Weiguo became more and more angry, "We are forced to seek peace in humiliation, no, it is to cede territory and seek peace, which is a loss of power and humiliation to the country! What about domestic public opinion? Where does the dignity go?"

Chiang Kai-shek sighed, "I've thought about this too.

But, in fact, this is indeed the best ending!"

Jiang Weiguo lowered his head and remained silent again. After a long while, he looked at Chiang Kai-shek: "Father, Shandong Province was originally Han Fuju's territory, and Shanxi Province was originally Yan Xishan's territory. Now, after the national army regained these two provinces, there is no reason to say anything. The property has been returned to its original owner. Moreover, these two provinces are the country's territory, not someone's private territory.

Father, I want to take troops to Shandong and Shanxi provinces!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo with meaningful eyes and expressions, because he saw something in Jiang Weiguo's eyes that did not make him feel strange and unexpected at all, a hot and shiny thing, this kind of thing is called "ambition" , To put it bluntly, it is "ambition".

Chiang Kai-shek immediately understood Jiang Weiguo's plan, and he nodded: "Wei'er, you have such aspirations, and I will definitely support you father. Since the war of resistance for one year and two months, you have made so many great achievements, and I should reward you well, father." of.

You are now a colonel, well, you can be promoted to major general.

Shandong, Shanxi, where do you want to go?Yes, of course no problem!"

In late September, under the mediation of Germany, China and Japan formally signed an armistice agreement.

According to this agreement:

15. The issue of the four northeastern provinces has been put on hold for discussion, and [-]% of the annual fiscal revenue of the four northeastern provinces will be transferred to the national government;

[-]. Japanese troops withdrew from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shanxi provinces;

30. The sovereignty of Hebei Province, Chahar Province, Suiyuan Province, Shanghai City, Beiping City, and Tianjin City belongs to China, and the governance power temporarily belongs to Japan. [-]% of the annual financial recovery of the above three provinces and cities is transferred to the National Government;

Fourth, when Japan acquires new land through the cooperation between Germany, China and Japan, return all the occupied areas in China to China.

The agreement is for a period of five years.

Excluding the four northeastern provinces and Taiwan, China once again lost the substantive sovereignty of three provinces and three cities after the July 30th Incident. At the same time, it successfully recovered two-thirds of the fallen Jiangsu Province, four One-third of the occupied Zhejiang Province, three-quarters of the occupied Shanxi Province, and nine-tenths of the occupied Shandong Province have recovered a total area of ​​about [-] square kilometers in the occupied areas (objectively speaking, if the Japanese do not give up these areas However, if the national army counterattacks by force, it will be more difficult to recover.

).

Because of Jiang Weiguo's interference in history, the "butterfly effect" has become more and more serious, and history has therefore embarked on a completely different path from the original history.

History slowly turned a new page.
