I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Although he found that the strength of the Chinese army on the opposite side was far superior to his own, Mutaguchi Ren did not have any intention of retreating at all. He was just a little surprised, that's all.

Ren Mutaguchi also decided to continue the offensive plan. First, the Chinese army’s compromises and concessions in the past have made Japanese soldiers like him completely ignore the Chinese army. He even gave the Chinese army very imaginatively. The nickname "Scarecrow", a scarecrow covered with weapons, looks really scary, but a scarecrow is a scarecrow after all, it can only scare people, not beat people, let alone kill people; There is no way to retreat, he can't come here with a murderous look and come back in despair, can he? "Being scared away by the China Army" is something Mutaguchi Ren would never do. This is something his "proud imperial warrior heart" would rather die than accept. Moreover, "Even if the Imperial Japanese Army faces Mountains of swords and seas of fire will continue without hesitation." Moreover, the opposite side is not a sea of ​​swords and fires, but a group of "scarecrows"; third, capturing Wanping City is not the fundamental purpose of Renya Mutaguchi. It got out of hand.

"Ready to attack!" Riding on a tall horse, Mutaguchi Ren also pulled out his saber and howled like a wolf.

The Japanese army that swept towards Wanping City was divided into three groups in the billowing wind and dust. The three groups flocked to Wanping City from the north, east and south respectively. The Chinese army is already in a last stand.

In the former enemy headquarters on the tower of Shunzhi Gate, senior officers such as Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, Liao Yaoxiang, Peng Mengji and other senior officers held up binoculars while pointing at the map, and had a tense discussion: "Once a war starts, the artillery group will first concentrate their firepower on the sand hills and attack the sand hills. Destroy the artillery positions of the Japanese army, and then extend the bombardment, cover the rear of the Japanese army with artillery fire, and block the Japanese army's retreat path..." "The tank army launched an attack, and the infantry army needs to be divided into three parts. One part sticks to the trench fortifications, and the other part sticks to Wanping City, Lugou Bridge, Changxindian, and some of them are mechanized infantry, which launched an attack with the tank troops..." "The terrain is more favorable for us. There are open areas within a radius of five kilometers, which is suitable for the tank group to attack the Japanese army with all its strength..." "If the Japanese army retreats into the city of Beiping What should we do? Is it possible to start street fighting?" "General Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division should have received an order to blockade Beiping City, right?" In fact, we and the 29th Army are two systems. If the 29th Army joins the war or not, we have to wait for Song Zheyuan's order. Song Zheyuan is now in his hometown in Shandong, and he doesn't know the situation here at all, so he can't make an accurate judgment at all. What's more, He has the idea of ​​​​preserving strength. Maybe the 29th Army will stand by and watch us one-on-one with the Japanese army!" "Without the assistance and cooperation of the 29th Army, we can rely on our two regiments, okay? Maybe we will be isolated There is no help!" "Impossible! The fight has really started, and the whole country is excited. How can the 29th Army watch the fire from the other side? I think Mayor Qin, Deputy Tong, General Feng, and General Zhang are all loyal and patriotic soldiers. Even if Song Zheyuan disagrees, they will attack decisively!" "Although that is the case, we must also prepare for the worst!" "Whether we will fight or not is not certain!"

Jiang Weiguo did not participate in the discussion. He was smoking a cigarette beside him while looking around restlessly. He was not flustered, but nervous. Struggling for 150 points for a semester, and finally got 150 points as I wished, and then...then what?Once the goal is reached, it will fall into confusion.

At this time, Jiang Weiguo was in such a sad state of mind. The July [-]th Incident was the starting point of his new journey and the end of the year of pre-war preparations.

In addition to the Japanese army, there were a large number of Chinese people around Wanping City. The Changxindian area on the other side of the Yongding River was even more crowded. The troops had blocked the Lugou Bridge, otherwise the people on the other side of the river would have crossed the bridge.

Seeing their country's army lined up with the Japanese army, the common people were very excited and excited:

"The national army is going to fight the Japanese!"

"Brothers of the national army! Do it well! Beat it hard!"

"Which part of this national army belongs to? The weapons and equipment are really excellent! It must be able to beat the Japanese hard!"

"Come on, the national army!" More and more ordinary people flocked to the Yongding River excitedly, standing by the river and cheering for the garrison of Wanping City on the opposite bank. Condolences are piled up into hills by the Yongding River.

"Folks! Compatriots! Get out of here!" The officers and soldiers maintaining order were sweating profusely. "Bullets don't have eyes! Don't stay here!"

The residents of Beiping City moved back a little while loudly cheering the officers and soldiers, but they all stayed where they could see Wanping City.

It didn't take long for the entire city of Beiping to be in a commotion. Tens of thousands or even more residents of Peiping rushed over to give condolences and money, shouting and applauding.

In the headquarters in Wanping City, Liu Fengling, the director of the staff office of the First Battalion, rushed to Jiang Weiguo's side in a hurry: "The camp, the chairman's telegram!"

"My father's telegram?" Jiang Weiguo hurriedly took it.

After learning that the Japanese army had marched heavily into Wanping City, Qin Dechun, Tong Linge and other high-level officials of the 29th Army realized that this matter could no longer be reduced to a minor one, and it was much more serious than they had imagined. Moreover, Wanping City The presence of Chiang Kai-shek's son Jiang Weiguo in the garrison made this matter even more serious, so Qin Dechun sent a telegram to Song Zheyuan and Chiang Kai-shek, reporting today's "Wanping Incident (balloon incident)".

Both Song Zheyuan and Chiang Kai-shek were taken aback. Song Zheyuan was in his hometown in Shandong, and Chiang Kai-shek was in Lushan, busy discussing with CCP representative Zhou Enlai about the reorganization of the Red regime and the Red Army.

After learning of this incident, Chiang Kai-shek was very shocked. On the one hand, he was shocked by the incident itself, and on the other hand, he was extremely worried about Jiang Weiguo.

The telegram sent by Chiang Kai-shek to Chiang Weiguo is as follows:

My son in Weiguo, I have already heard about the Wanping incident. Wanping is our country's territory, and it is the important place in the north that guards Beiping's traffic throat. This is a very important matter that cannot be ignored. To defend the country, if the battle has not started, the national army must "respond to the war and not seek a war." In addition, the battle is dangerous and life is fleeting. My son must remember, don't be rash and reckless.

Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's telegram, Jiang Weiguo knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek said two things in this telegram. One was his attitude towards the Beiping War, "to fight the war instead of seeking war." Objectively speaking, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very correct. He neither tolerated nor flinched. After all, he did not say "avoid war". Second, as a father, he told his son that he asked Jiang Weiguo to "don't act like a hero and end his life."

"The principal's meaning is very clear!" Du Yuming took the telegram from Jiang Weiguo and looked at it, "'Fight the war and not seek the war', the principal is right, it is really time to retreat, we can only fight, but If things turn around, we will not take the initiative to seek war!"

"Report!" Zhao Zhihua hurried over, "Regiment seat, camp seat, the Japanese army sent envoys!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo and Du Yuming were both surprised, "Blindfolded and brought in!"

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man with roe-headed mouse eyes and eyes covered by black cloth was brought into the command post in the basement where Jiang Weiguo and Du Yuming were located by several soldiers.

The reason for blindfolding is to prevent this person from spying on the situation in Wanping City.

"Who are you?" Jiang Weiguo looked at the man whose black cloth had been removed.

"I am Chi Zongmo, secretary-general of the 'Eastern Hebei Anti-Communist Autonomous Government'!" the man replied.

"Why are you here?" Du Yuming asked coldly, because the person in front of him was a traitor.

The so-called "Jidong Anti-Communist Autonomous Government" was a puppet regime established by the Japanese at the end of 1935. This regime controlled about [-] counties in the eastern part of Hebei Province (Hebei Province at this time and later Hebei Province were on the territory of There are some differences. At this time, the eastern part of Hebei Province is roughly the northeastern part of Hebei Province in later generations). On the surface, these places are "autonomous" and their sovereignty still belongs to China. In fact, these places are a small version of "Manchuria" controlled by the Japanese. "The above areas are no longer under the actual jurisdiction of the Chinese government, and being occupied by the Japanese is tantamount to falling.

There is no doubt that the leaders of the puppet government are all traitors, including this Chi Zongmo.

"I am ordered by the imperial army to come here to deliver a message!" Chi Zongmo's face was filled with arrogance that he felt superior to others. , that is, before dark at six o'clock, you must withdraw from Wanping City and all retreat to the west bank of Yongding River!"

"What if we don't withdraw?" Du Yuming asked angrily.

Chi Zongmo sneered: "Then the imperial army will attack the city with cannons!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Chi Zongmo calmly: "Your Excellency speaks fluent Chinese, it seems that you are also Chinese!"

Chi Zongmo's face changed. No matter how powerful a dog is, it is difficult to directly face the reality that he is a dog.

Jiang Weiguo sneered and said: "Compared to the Japanese, I hate traitors more! Come on, take this dog down for me, and use a knife to carve a Chinese character on his left face, and another on his right face." The word 'treacherous' is painted in ink so that he can't wash it off for the rest of his life, anyway, he is already shameless! By the way, after engraving the words, give him another thirty lashes, and finally drive him out!"

"Okay!" Sun Tao immediately took Weng Yong and others, and stepped forward to drag Chi Zongmo down.

"You dare! If you treat me like this, the imperial army will not let you go!" Chi Zongmo shouted distraughtly.

"Cut off his ears again!" Jiang Weiguo said angrily, "What!"

Soon, outside the regiment headquarters, the sound of Chi Zongmo being whipped and his ears cut was heard.

Du Yuming and other senior military officers hurriedly got together to discuss the latest situation.

"What should we do now?" The officers looked at Jiang Weiguo together.

"Still asking?" Jiang Weiguo gritted his teeth, "Little Japan has given us an ultimatum!"

"For today's plan, we must take the initiative to attack!" Xiao Yao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Take the initiative?" Du Yuming was taken aback, "The principal gave us an order to 'take the fight and not ask for it'!"

"We didn't ask for a fight!" Xiao Yao said expressionlessly, "We are fighting, and we are fighting first.

First of all, since the Japanese army has issued an ultimatum, it is not a bluff. Even for the so-called face, the Japanese will attack us at dark; second, if we do not preemptively strike, we will be passively beaten.

Ladies and gentlemen, please think about it, is it beneficial to us if time drags on?Let's start the battle now, all advantages are on our side, and after dark, we will be at a disadvantage.

First, our position is fixed, because the position of Wanping City does not move, and the Japanese army can change positions. Both sides fired artillery. The Japanese army can accurately bombard us, but our eyes are blackened; second, after dark, our tanks The troops could not pursue the Japanese army as much as they wanted, and we could not give full play to another major advantage because of this; third, the attitude of the 29th Army was unclear, and the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army may be constantly coming.

So, everyone, if we don't do anything now, we will miss the opportunity, or even sit and wait for death! "

"At this moment, our offensive conditions are so good, it would be a pity not to attack decisively!" Sun Liren's attitude was clear.

"Looking forward and looking backward, fearing what to do and what to do, is a big taboo for military strategists!" Qi Xueqi also expressed his support.

"Let's do it when it's time to do it!" Liao Yaoxiang said excitedly, "Hit the Japanese invaders hard! Hit their arrogance! Besides, on the other side of the Yongding River, how many people in Peiping are looking at us? We fled without a fight, how could we be worthy of them?" ?” He looked resolute.

Du Yuming took a deep breath: "Once the action is taken, the matter will not end well! It is easy to start a war, but how can we stop it? Everyone, we may start a war! All-out war between China and Japan! We can bear this responsibility ?"

"Brother Guangting!" Jiang Weiguo looked at Du Yuming, "We didn't start the war, it was the Japanese! It was the Japanese!"

Du Yuming nodded: "Then how do we explain to the principal and the 29th Army?"

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while, and said: "Send a telegram to my father, Mayor Qin, Vice President Tong, General Feng (Feng Zhi'an), General Zhang (Zhang Zizhong), General Zhao (Zhao Dengyu) ... and Song Zheyuan, and say The Japanese army issued an ultimatum to our troops, preparing to attack the city in the dark. Our troops have no way to retreat. In order to defend the country, sovereignty, national dignity, and national dignity, we can only do our duty as a soldier and launch a counterattack! My father will definitely support us, Song Zheyuan's attitude is hard to say, as for Mayor Qin and the others, tell them, let them figure it out! Either join us in killing the enemy and serve the country, or sit on the sidelines and watch our soldiers fight to the last man and shed the last drop of blood!"

"Understood!" The officers all looked awe-inspiring.

蒋纬国看了看手表：1937年7月7日下午2时50分。

"Fuck it!" Jiang Weiguo gritted his teeth, "The time to make history has come!" He looked at Du Yuming and the others with blazing eyes, "In 10 minutes, at three o'clock, we will launch a full-scale attack!"

"Jianhao!" Du Yuming spoke again.

"Brother Guangting..." Jiang Weiguo said teasingly, "You don't want to persuade me to calm down for the last time, do you?"

Du Yuming shook his head with a solemn expression: "I want to ask, what kind of battle are you planning to fight? What kind of result do you want to achieve against the Japanese army outside? Repulse? Defeat? Or..."

"Together and annihilate!" Jiang Weiguo almost popped out these two words from his teeth, "Since it is a battle, why don't we go all out? Annihilate them all! Kill them all! Let them pay enough for their arrogance and arrogance The price! Jujian! What I want is Jujian!"

"Understood!" Du Yuming's eyes were bright and sharp.

Sun Liren said in an orderly manner: "If you want to gather and annihilate them, firstly, the first and second armored battalions must split into two groups, outflank the Japanese troops on the two wings, and drive the Japanese troops on the two wings to Wanping City. Second, the artillery units must destroy the Japanese artillery positions. Extended bombardment of the follow-up area of ​​the Japanese army cut off the retreat of the frontal troops of the Japanese army; at the same time, the armored forces launched attacks and oppression on the outskirts of the Japanese army, driving the Japanese troops on three sides to Wanping City itself. When the Japanese army captured Wanping, the armored and infantry units attacked back and forth, and the Japanese army could be wiped out on the field outside the city. The artillery unit provided fire cover for the armored and infantry units at any time. If the Japanese army tried to break out from a certain point, it would be covered by artillery fire immediately! "

"Very good! Just do it!" Jiang Weiguo slammed his fist on the military map on the table.

"We must end the battle before dark!" Sun Liren added, "Once it gets dark, if the Japanese army breaks through with a large group of troops, it will be more difficult for us to pursue them.

Guys, we only have three hours! "

Jiang Weiguo lit a cigarette and took a deep puff: "Everyone, let's start!" He was in a fiery mood, but his heart was calm, because he no longer had any distracting thoughts in his mind, only the belief of killing the Japanese.

If the commander of the national army in this battle of Wanping City was replaced by someone else, he would definitely not be the one commanded by Jiang Weiguo.

First of all, Jiang Weiguo has no scruples. He is determined to kill the Japanese, and he is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn calf. He has no fear, concern, or fear of the Japanese. Others are different. Others will more or less because of various reasons. It is no exaggeration to say that Jiang Weihui is the only one in China who is so "daring" because he has the number one father in the country, and his ideas come from later generations.

To give a simple example, in the situation in North China, China is like a simple farmer, industrious, kind, honest, cowardly, timid, and fearful. He will swallow his anger when he is bullied, although he will resist when he is pushed. , but before that, endure as much as you can, and let as much as you can; Japan is like a big-armed hooligan, who has strength but no bottom line, bullying China, the "peasant" again and again.

The farmer got annoyed, and first retorted, then cursed, and then symbolically waved his fist, at most two punches with his fist, making the ruffian more and more unscrupulous.

This is a very simple truth. As long as an honest farmer is not forced to the edge of a cliff, it is impossible to work hard.

If a farmer really wants to fight a ruffian, he will have many scruples: "What should I do if I really scare him? What if things don't work out? How will I get along with him in the future? What if others laugh at me? My wife What about the child?" So, if it was Song Zheyuan, he would only use his fists and "lightly" hit the Japanese with one tenth of his strength, because he had to consider the way out, but it was completely different when it was Jiang Weiguo. He didn't use fists at all, he just took out a knife, which killed the gangster with one blow. Secondly, Song Zheyuan's "strength" was not as great as that of Jiang Weiguo. Jiang Weiguo's army was the strongest in the country.

So to put it bluntly, Song Zheyuan commanded the battle of Wanping City, "like a woman gently beating a ruffian with her fist." "It's like a burly man slashing a ruffian with a butcher's knife."

Ren Mutaguchi also paid an irreparable price for his ignorance in the first second of the war.

When Chi Zongmo, who was sent to Wanping City to issue an ultimatum, ran back to the Japanese army headquarters with his bloody buttocks battered with whips and his earless head carved with bayonets. Furious, on the one hand, although this Chi Zongmo is just a traitor, an out-and-out dog, not Japanese, but beating a dog depends on the owner, "How could the Chinese army in Wanping City humiliate the imperial army so much?" What is this not a naked provocation? Where is the national prestige of the Great Japanese Empire and the military prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army?" On the other hand, Chi Zongmo added fuel to the flames when crying about the "inhuman atrocities" he suffered, claiming that The "China Army" in Wanping City is so arrogant and arrogant, how much they don't pay attention to the Great Japanese Empire and the Great Japanese Imperial Army, and even uttered wild words, "I want to cut off your head, Mr. Mutaguchi, Hang it on the tower to show the public."

It can be said that this Chi Zongmo played a "significant role in promoting" the battle of Wanping City and the official start of war between China and Japan.

Chapter 122 Start the War (2)

Driven by the hand of God, the July [-]th Incident finally broke out as scheduled, but the July [-]th Incident in the original history was also called the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident", while the July [-]th Incident at this time was also called the "Wanwan Incident". Heijo Incident", but the essence is the same.

"Baga!" Mutaguchi Lian also waved his saber furiously, "Order the artillery squadron to fire!" He didn't intend to really attack the city, but just wanted to use artillery shells to demonstrate well and intimidate the Chinese army in Wanping City who knew nothing about the sky and the earth.
