At the beginning of last year (1936), the high-level officials in Tokyo raised the specifications of the North China Garrison to the same level as the Kwantung Army. At that time, the total strength of the North China Garrison was more than 1700, and it increased to more than 5700 in May (the actual strength was 1.4. multiple people).

The intention of the Japanese to covet North China is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it, and since the end of April, the North China Garrison has frequently conducted live-fire exercises in the suburbs of Pingjin.

Although the Japanese have hidden swords in their smiles and honeyed belly swords, the Japanese are still "goodwill" like tigers with smiles on their faces, and they repeatedly use the excuse of "economic support" to trouble Song Zheyuan. Annoyed, he returned to his hometown in Leling County, Shandong Province under the pretext of repairing his father's tomb to avoid Japanese harassment (at this time, Song Zheyuan hadn't realized that the Japanese were preparing to launch armed aggression with real swords and guns), and the two cities of Pingjin and Hebei Province Military and political affairs were handed over to Lieutenant General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Lieutenant General Qin Dechun, the mayor of Beiping and deputy commander of the 29th Army (the 29th Army had two deputy commanders).

Knowing that the Central Army was going to send a regiment to the Pingjin frontier, Tong Linge and Qin Dechun welcomed it very much.

The situation in Hebei Province (including the two cities of Pingjin) at this time is as follows: the Japanese are constantly approaching, and the Chinese army in Hebei Province is the 29th Army, which is the remnant of the Northwest Army. Song Zheyuan, the commander of the army, is loyal to Feng Yuxiang, so After the Northwest Army was disintegrated, he was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek and hoped to "keep the seeds of the Northwest Army" and made Hebei Province the private territory of the 29th Army, the remnant of the Northwest Army. So even though Song Zheyuan was under tremendous pressure from the Japanese, he It is also not very willing for the central army to enter Hebei Province on a large scale.

There is no central army in Hebei Province. For Song Zheyuan, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that Hebei Province will not be infiltrated by Chiang Kai-shek. The disadvantage is that if something happens, the 29th Army will take the blame and become a scapegoat for losing the country.

Therefore, when the Central Army sent a regiment, Song Zheyuan agreed to put the Central Army regiment at the forefront. When the time comes, it will be unable to hold on. There is also an excuse, "The Central Army retreats first, and our local army has to retreat together", and The Central Army only sent a mere "regiment", and the 29-strong army of the [-]th Army would definitely not be able to deal with it. I am not afraid that the Central Army regiment will turn against the enemy in Hebei Province.

Of course, Song Zheyuan never dreamed that Jiang Weiguo's "regiment" was not a normal regiment at all. Both of Jiang Weiguo's regiments were the same-the regiment's designation, brigade organization, division number, and army firepower.

In the joint headquarters of the 918th Regiment and the 128th Regiment at the northern foot of Zijin Mountain, Jiang Weiguo first read out Chiang Kai-shek’s order, and then looked at Du Yuming, the head of the 918th Regiment, Sun Liren, the deputy head of the 918th Regiment, Qi Xueqi, the chief of staff, and Liao Yaoxiang, the deputy chief of staff. , with solemn and sincere eyes: "The Military Commission intends to transfer a regiment from our two regiments to the Pingjin area, and I recommended our [-]th regiment.

Because North China is mostly plain terrain, and there are few rivers and lakes, it is suitable for mechanized troops to fight, and the mechanization level of the 918th Regiment is higher than that of the 128th Regiment!" The 918th Regiment is currently an out-and-out armored regiment, and the 128th Regiment It is the Mechanized Infantry Regiment.

Zheng Dongguo, the head of the 128th Regiment, had participated in the Great Wall War of Resistance four years ago and had actual combat experience in fighting the enemy in the north. Jiang Weiguo originally planned to recommend Zheng Dongguo's 128th Regiment, but after repeated consideration, he felt that the 918th Regiment was more suitable.

"Understood!" Du Yuming's eyes sparkled, his expression was excited, and his whole body trembled slightly.

Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, and Liao Yaoxiang were also very excited.

"Is it finally about to start?" Zheng Dongguo and other officers of the 128th Regiment also felt excited and excited, and the atmosphere of tension and anticipation of the imminent battle enveloped the scene.

Although war is cruel, and it is irrational to look forward to war, China can no longer avoid war. Foreign enemies are overwhelming and there is no way out. A patriotic Chinese soldier is eager to see through the war, eager to kill the enemy bravely in the war, wash away the national humiliation, and repay the country, also to prove himself.

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo's eyes were bright, "It's about to start!" He opened a map of Pingjin, pointed and said, "Tuan Zuo, I have already called Deputy Commander Tong. When our regiment arrives in Pingjin, we will be deployed to the easiest The place where the conflict with the Japanese occurred, here, Wanping City, east of Lugou Bridge in the southern suburbs of Beiping City (Fengtai District).

After you bring your troops to Wanping City, remember that you must race against time to accumulate food, build walls high, and dig holes deep. I will allocate you 200 million French currency funds, and you will do your best to buy food, medicines and other supplies locally. Reserve as much as possible, and concentrate on preparing for war.

Don't think otherwise!Just figure out how to defend Lugou Bridge and Wanping City!How to annihilate the Japanese invaders in the upcoming battle! "

"Understood!" Du Yuming's eyes were as hot as coal fire.

"Jianhao," Sun Liren was quite surprised, "won't you go to Peiping with us?" After all, Jiang Weiguo was the commander of the 918st Armored Battalion of the 1th Regiment.

"I still have something to do here in Nanjing!" Jiang Weiguo said. Although he is the commander of the 918st Armored Battalion of the 1th Regiment, he has too many things to worry about. He looked at Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, and Liao Yaoxiang: " Sub-team, attendant, and deputy attendant, I'm counting on you too!"

"The duty of a soldier is here! It is a duty!" The three of Sun Liren stood in awe.

蒋纬国又道:“我马上打电话给温营长(第918团第8步兵营营长温应星)、王营长(第918团第9步兵营营长王庚)、赵营长(第918团第10步兵营营长赵君迈),让他们从三营抽调部队补充进主力,让前往北平的第918团实际兵力突破1万人,毕竟,战争真的要来了!”他言语间有股唏嘘感慨。

Du Yuming smiled and said: "Brothers have been holding back for more than half a year, and I can't wait to beat the devil!" Spending money like land to build these two regiments, the weapons and equipment are top-notch, among other things, each ordinary soldier in the two regiments has two guns, one rifle and one pistol, with 1936 rounds of bullets per capita, and the number of live ammunition training The strength and strength are beyond the reach of other troops. The salary is twice that of other direct troops of the Central Army. Moreover, Jiang Weiguo, the little god of wealth, also spends a lot of money from time to time to distribute various welfare subsidies to the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers who have received the "gracious kindness" of the second son of Jiang are all grateful and grateful. They sleep day and night, train hard, and hope to kill the enemy as soon as possible in return. The morale and fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers have already boiled to explode.

"Jianhao!" Sun Liren looked at Jiang Weiguo, "You just said that our regiment will be sent to the place where it is most likely to conflict with the Japanese!"

"Well, what then?" Jiang Weiguo also looked at Sun Liren.

"The Japanese are deliberately finding fault with us to provoke us, what should we do?"

"Go back ten times!" Jiang Weiguo did not hesitate, and his attitude was as strong as iron. "If you scold you, then you will scold you back ten times; if you hit you, you will beat you back ten times! They beat you with your fists, and you use your fists." Pay them back with your fists! They hit with bullets, so you pay them back with bullets!" He looked at Sun Liren and the others sharply, "Don't have any mental burden! Don't wait for some order, as long as the Japanese make trouble, give me ruthless Beat them hard! Beat them to death! If you don’t attack me, I won’t attack you! If someone attacks me, I’ll kill his whole family! Don’t worry! I’ll take care of you when the sky falls!” His last words were heart-wrenching, because he He is the son of Chiang Kai-shek, and he was born with the "gold medal for avoiding death".

"Understood!" Sun Liren's eyes were not only fiery, but also bright, looking at Jiang Weiguo with appreciation and respect.

When the meeting was adjourned, Jiang Weiguo let out a long sigh: "It's really fucking about to start! The one-year countdown is about to return to zero!" He then called Zhou Zhirou and asked the Air Force to strengthen the air force at Baoding Airport .

Zhou Zhirou readily agreed.

On the morning of the third day, the 918th regiment began to move collectively. The whole regiment first went to the Navy Pier in Xiaguan District in batches, then drove to Pukou District on the north bank of the Jiangbei River in Nanjing City, and finally took the train along the Jinpu Line (Tianjin to Pukou), Arriving at the forefront of Pingjin, there are also a large number of weapons and equipment, ordnance and ammunition, military supplies, etc. Not only that, there is also a regiment that will go to Pingjin with the 918th regiment. It is an artillery regiment. Chiang Weiguo won it over from Chiang Kai-shek. , The designation of this regiment is "Army 10th Artillery Regiment", which is the first mechanized heavy artillery regiment of the national army.

At the beginning, Jiang Weiguo asked Hitler for 50 large-caliber heavy artillery, all of which were K16 150mm heavy howitzers. Some of them were supplemented by the 10th Artillery Regiment, which had three artillery battalions, an infantry battalion, a supply battalion, and a regiment. The Ministry is directly under the artillery company. Each artillery battalion has three artillery companies under its jurisdiction. Each artillery company is equipped with 4 K16 heavy artillery. The whole regiment has a total of 40 K16 heavy artillery and 2800 rounds of ammunition. The firepower is strong. The head of the regiment is the fifth in the Huangpu Military Academy Colonel Peng Mengji, a graduate.

"Jianhao, everyone!" On the platform of the train station, Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, and Liao Yaoxiang all looked at Jiang Weiguo, Zheng Dongguo, Qiu Zhiji, Huang Baitao, and Zhang Lingfu emotionally, "Let's go!"

"Brothers, come on!" "Take care of yourself!" Two groups of soldiers who were not brothers but brothers saluted and hugged each other.

Looking at the military column that was slowly accelerating and leaving, Jiang Weiguo suddenly felt empty in his heart.

"Brothers, sing!" Du Yuming on the train suddenly yelled, "The river is like a dragon, the mountains are like a tiger, roaring to the sky, and singing for a long time..." The officers and soldiers of the 918th Regiment on the train sang heartily together "... The dragon coils and the tiger crouches, there are bells and drums, dragons soar and tigers leap, there are literature and martial arts; a sword pierces the sky, and a cavity of blood annotates the history books for thousands of years..." The singing can be described as magnificent and powerful.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but burst into tears. He knew that the final moment he had been waiting for for a long time was coming.

After seeing off the 918th Regiment, Jiang Weiguo welcomed a group of acquaintances at the Xiaguan Wharf.

"Second son! Long time no see!" On a slowly approaching German cargo ship, twenty or thirty young officers in German military uniforms greeted Jiang Weiguo on the shore cheerfully.

Jiang Weiguo took a closer look and was overjoyed: "Brother Qiu, it's you!"

After the ship docked, this group of officers got off the ship impatiently and walked towards Jiang Weiguo. Qiu Qingquan, the leader, smiled and said, "Yes! We have graduated and returned to China!" Long Yunfeng followed behind him , Chu Qiming, Xu Yuwei, Zhang Zigeng and other German military officers.

"Great! Welcome to my army!" Jiang Weiguo couldn't help being overjoyed, "I'm short of professional armored officers!"

Qiu Qingquan smiled apologetically: "Sorry, second son, Gui Suithen (Gui Yongqing) has invited me to teach the corps as the chief of staff!"

Jiang Weiguo was a little disappointed, but he also expressed his understanding: "It doesn't matter, it's all the national army anyway!"

Long Yunfeng and others all chose to join Jiang Weiguo's army. The logic is of course ready-made: Jiang Weiguo is Jiang's second son, and he must have a bright future if he hangs out with him; He works there, how can there be a tank?In fact, Qiu Qingquan also wanted to join Jiang Weiguo's army, but Gui Yongqing had already sent an invitation, which made it difficult for him to refuse (Gui Yongqing and Qiu Qingquan are good friends).

After bringing Long Yunfeng and other German officers back to the army and arranging suitable positions, Jiang Weiguo "slipped away" to the city of Nanjing in the evening, and did not bring Yangmei, because he was "hidden in the golden house" in Nanjing.

Next to Mochou Lake, Jiang Weiguo rented a villa where Cai Wenna and Yang Xiaojie lived (Jiang Weiguo did not buy this villa, although he was rich, but a fool would buy a house in Nanjing in 1937).

Seeing Jiang Weiguo approaching, Cai Wenna burst into tears of joy, and threw herself into Jiang Weiguo's arms like a lost deer.

"You two can't live in Nanjing anymore!" Although Jiang Weiguo was "itchy" because of a beautiful woman in his arms, and his hands had begun to be dishonest, he did not forget the business, "Move to Chongqing! I will be here Chongqing will find you a new residence!"

"Chongqing?" Cai Wenna widened her eyes, looking very nervous.

Jiang Weiguo felt strange at first, and then realized that Cai Wenna's ex-husband Yang Sen was in the east of Sichuan, which was adjacent to Chongqing. Cai Wenna was very afraid of Yang Sen, so she dared not go to Chongqing.

"Then let's go to Wuhan!" Jiang Weiguo changed his words, "Anyway, we can't live in Nanjing!"

Cai Wenna nodded meekly, then lowered her head and whispered, "Stay here for dinner..."

Facing Cai Wenna's request with a clear meaning, Jiang Weiguo will certainly not continue to carry forward the spirit of serving the people as a public servant of the people who is "loyalty to the country, selflessness, selflessness, and the world for the public". That night, he resolutely Did not return to the army.

Since mid-May, Jiang Weiguo has been living in a "drunk life, dreaming and dying". The next day, he took Cai Wenna and Yang Xiaojie to Wuhan, bought a villa in Wuhan's most famous East Lake Scenic Area, and settled the mother and daughter. He was not in a hurry to go back to Nanjing to "work on state affairs", and lived a happy life like a family of three with Cai Wenna and Yang Xiaojie.

At the end of April, the Japanese army stationed in North China held a large-scale exercise in the suburbs of Pingjin;

At the end of May, the Kuomintang Central Committee visited Yan'an;

On June [-], the Nationalist government requested the Japanese side to dismantle the military radio station set up by the Japanese army in Tianjin, but was rejected;

In the first ten days of June, Chiang Kai-shek went to Lushan to start negotiations with CCP representative Zhou Enlai;

In mid-June, the Japanese army stationed in North China began a military exercise aimed at attacking Lugou Bridge and capturing Wanping City;

In late June, the Japanese North China Garrison established a temporary combat department, which was responsible for formulating combat plans;

At the end of June, the radio station between Nanjing and Yan'an was officially connected.

Jiang Weiguo's "corrupt life" in June can be said to have intensified. During this month, he "traveled in two places", sometimes living in Nanjing and sometimes living in Wuhan. There are his women everywhere, he is purely "the spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on".

Jiang Weiguo has already discovered that as time goes by, his physical condition becomes more and more wrong, and a strange feeling begins to appear in his body. Walking is as light as stepping on cotton, and his thighs often tremble uncontrollably The ground is trembling, the brain is in a state of high excitement, the heart is always beating faster and faster suddenly, and the energy is very good. I can stay up all day and night but still be full of energy, and I can suddenly feel a burst of inexplicable heart palpitations when I fall asleep. wake up.

People around are very strange, especially Yangmei and Cai Wenna, because they are "victims of Jiang Weiguo's mental disorder", Jiang Weiguo can't sleep at night, in Nanjing, he "torses" Yangmei at night, in Wuhan, he "torses" Cai Wenna, And toss endlessly, toss from dark to dawn, and the spirit is as excited as smoking opium or chicken blood.

One morning, Yang Mei, who had been "tossed" by Jiang Weiguo for several consecutive nights without a sound sleep, kicked him out of bed in a rage.

This kick made Jiang Weiguo calm down immediately: "Jiang Weiguo, Jiang Weiguo, what's wrong with you? The War of Resistance is about to begin. Instead of going to the frontline troops, you spend all day surrounded by women. You are really useless!" After deeply reflecting on his absurd behavior, Jiang Weiguo put his thoughts back on the right track while climbing into bed.

Jiang Weiguo knew why he was like this, because he was so excited.

This "excitement" does not mean being happy. It includes fanatical excitement, anticipation, complacency, and readiness to go, as well as inexplicable nervousness, anxiety, worry about gains and losses, and hesitation. In the center, in a dreamlike mist.

The eight-year war of resistance is finally approaching, and Jiang Weiguo is finally about to go to the battlefield. He is a hundred times more serious than the special emotions that later generations of senior high school students feel when they see the upcoming college entrance examination date.

In the past ten months, Jiang Weiguo has been doing his best and doing his best to make his greatest contribution to the motherland that is about to usher in a millennium catastrophe, hoping to improve the difficult situation of the motherland during the eight-year war of resistance Let the Japanese pirates who invaded China pay a heavier price.

What exactly did Jiang Weiguo do?

First of all, Jiang Weiguo's visit to Germany successfully dismantled the German-Japanese alliance, and strengthened the Sino-German cooperation and mutual assistance unprecedentedly (there is no alliance between China and Germany), and conducted various "guidance" on Germany, which produced great significance and The historical influence is incalculable, and at the same time, he has gained a huge amount of benefits from Germany; then, Jiang Weiguo contacted and managed overseas Chinese one step ahead of schedule, opened up the Golden Triangle drug base, and opened up many important overseas sources of income; and then , Jiang Weiguo returned to China, reorganized the navy, reorganized the air force, formed the elite 918th Regiment and 128th Regiment, the only mechanized units in the Chinese army, expanded the local military industry, built a number of new arsenals, and developed the Yumen Oil Mine. , Panzhihua Iron Mine, and Liupanshui Coal Mine, contacted the Jews, gained the support of the Jews, formed the reserve army and reserve army of the Chinese army, and launched the great migration to the east in advance;... Jiang Weiguo made many, very, very many For important contributions, it can be said that he has done everything that can be done.

After the system was established, things went on the right track, and Jiang Weiguo didn't need to do it himself, so Jiang Weiguo had nothing to do in the month before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, just like a company boss who had to do everything himself when he was struggling to start a business. Now, on the right track, the boss only needs to count the money, and if he has something to do, the secretary will do it, and if he has nothing to do... the same reason.

Jiang Weiguo knew that after the official outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the first flame of war was ignited in Pingjin, and the second flame of war was ignited in Shanghai; In this way, the 918th regiment has already gone to Beiping, Lugou Bridge, and Wanping City. Logically, Jiang Weiguo should go to the 918th regiment immediately, but he has not left for the north for a long time.

Jiang Weiguo did not go to the front line of Beiping, of course not because he was indulging in the gentle hometown of women and forgot about national affairs and the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War, but because of a special feeling of "being closer to the hometown and more timid".

"Day! It's really going to be fought! This day is really coming!" Jiang Weiguo felt that everything was unreal when he thought of this. He was not afraid or flinched, but because of this "native feeling makes him more timid", That's why I "did not dare" to go to Peiping, so I was upset, so I got into the crowd of women.

Chapter 114 Countdown (2)

On July 1937, 7, there were still six days before the July 1th Incident.

At two o'clock in the morning, Wuhan, East Lake.

The trees here are shady, the environment is quiet, and the air is cool. All visitors here are refreshed, let alone living here.

In midsummer, the three towns of Wuhan have already been scorching heat waves and the heat is overwhelming, while the East Lake, with a water area of ​​33 square kilometers, sends out gusts of cool wind, making it a rare summer resort in the three towns of Wuhan. Rare than pandas.

After Jiang Weiguo decided to settle Cai Wenna in Wuhan, he specially bought a lakeside villa here based on the principle of "compassion for the fragrance and cherish the jade".
