I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Emperor Hirohito was expressionless and silent like an old monk in meditation.

Prince Zairen and General Sugiyama Yuan waited patiently for 5 minutes, and finally asked softly and tentatively: "Your Majesty, the imperial army is ready and ready to go. Just wait for your majesty to open your golden mouth, and it will be a great cause for the empire forever." Further lay the indomitable merits of the world.

The minister waits for His Majesty's permission! "

After a long time, Prince Zaihito and General Sugiyama Genda clearly saw Emperor Hirohito nodded slowly.

With ecstasy, Prince Zaihito and Gendai Sugiyama saluted and bid farewell to Emperor Hirohito.

Obtaining the emperor's "sacred will" is equivalent to obtaining the Shangfang sword. The Japanese Army Headquarters, headed by General Sugiyama Genda, launched comprehensive combat preparations at an unprecedented speed. "Army" was continuously incorporated by elite troops from the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army. When the Second Pingjin Battle officially broke out, the Japanese North China Dispatch Army had two armies, the first and second. Jurisdiction over the 1nd, 2th, and 2th divisions, the second army under the jurisdiction of the 7th, 20th, and 5th divisions, and the independent 10th mixed brigade, temporary aviation regiment, and gendarmerie directly under the headquarters of the dispatched army The ground forces include 14 Class A divisions and 11 independent mixed brigade, with a total strength of 6.

The commander-in-chief of the dispatched army is General Toshida Terauchi, the chief of staff of the dispatched army is Major General Kawabe Shozo who escaped his life in the July [-]th Incident but became the bare commander, the commander of the first army is Lieutenant General Kazuki Kiyoshi, and the commander of the second army The official is Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzao.

The two cities of Pingjin and even the whole of North China are about to usher in a truly brutal and bloody battle.

Chapter 144 Returning to Ning (1)

While the Japanese army was mobilizing on a large scale, the Chinese army was also actively preparing for war against the clock.

After the outbreak of the war, the second city of Pingjin, which was destined to bear the brunt, is building a complete and solid city defense fortification under the sweat of officers and soldiers of the 29th Army and more than 20 local young and middle-aged laborers in Pingjin. Zhangjiakou, Yanqing, Laiyuan, Cangzhou, Tongzhou, Baoding The military bases behind and on the flanks of the two cities of Pingjin also sprung up to build city defenses, and all the cultural relics and national treasures in the Forbidden City were removed and transported to the rear.

Among all the preparations for war, the most troublesome thing is the relocation of the population, especially the more than 200 million residents of the second city of Pingjin.

They had just witnessed the national army wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese troops swiftly and swiftly (the number of Japanese troops wiped out has been exaggerated more and more in the word of mouth of the residents), but now they call themselves to leave their hometowns, implicitly showing that Pingjin What follows is the meaning of being unable to hold on, and the residents have to fall into consternation and a kind of psychological rejection.

Song Zheyuan had no choice but to come forward in person, and at the same time invited a group of celebrities in the Pingjin area, such as Wu Peifu, to mobilize the people to leave the front line of Pingjin, which was about to face a fierce battle, and set an example by example.

But overall, the work has been rough and difficult.

According to Jiang Weiguo's idea, the residents evacuated from Pingjin and northern Hebei will temporarily go to Handan and Xingtai in southern Hebei.

On the morning of July 7, Chiang Kai-shek sent Song Zheyuan a heart-to-heart telegram: "...the central government has determined to use all its strength to resist the war, and would rather break the jade than destroy it, so as to maintain the personality of our country.

...The victory or defeat of North China is all about the agreement of the brothers and the central government. Regardless of the war, it must not be done alone, and the enemy should not be defeated by each of them. The final victory must be determined by our side.

Brother, please persevere to the end, stick to everything, take precautions at all times, and there is no room for retreat.

The only way to deal with the Japanese today is to unite the internal forces, inspire the army, and absolutely stay in line with the central government. If you don’t be bullied by the enemy, you will win!”

Along with this telegram, Chiang Kai-shek also allocated 29 million yuan in military expenses and a batch of weapons and ammunition to the 300th Army.

Song Zheyuan had already made up his mind to fight the war at this time. He immediately sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek vowing to fight the war to the end, and officially released the telegram to defend the soil and fight the enemy that afternoon, saying, "I have a responsibility to defend the soil, and I have to do it rightly." defense".

A full-scale war between China and Japan is imminent and inevitable.

Jiang Weiguo traveled around Pingjin and northern Hebei for several days. Through on-the-spot inspections and personal observations, he found that most of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level in the national army had high morale and were full of enthusiasm. A moment of bloody courage", just like Jiang Weiguo himself, who boldly claimed how many Japanese soldiers he would kill before the war, but when he actually went to the battlefield, his legs immediately became weak. Therefore, the "higher morale" of the national army's troops is actually not Very optimistic, it is estimated that after entering the actual combat, many officers and soldiers will instinctively fear and retreat. In addition, the national army has many weaknesses, one is backward equipment and low firepower, and the other is poor quality of soldiers. Most soldiers not only They have never participated in actual combat, and have not received real, complete, and strict regular military training. As for live ammunition shooting, the per capita shooting is less than ten times (the officers and soldiers of the 918th Regiment averaged more than 1 live ammunition shooting times before participating in the war. , the snipers are as high as 6000 times per capita), the third is that there are many factions within the hundreds of thousands of troops, each with their own ideas, and the fourth is that the command is not smooth, because these hundreds of thousands of troops are a hodgepodge, some are from the Central Army, and some are from the Northwest Some are the Northeast Army, some are the Small Northwest Army, and some are the Jinsui Army. On the surface, they all seem to obey the orders of the central government, but in fact each has its own "master". There are a lot of ugly phenomena of pocketing and corruption in the army, resulting in insufficient funds for grassroots officers and soldiers, and the funds for building fortifications are also embezzled, making the fortifications built are bean curd projects. In addition, many troops are short-lived For example, a division claims to have 4000 soldiers, but the actual number of soldiers is only [-]. In this way, the chief officer of the army can earn [-] more salary funds for nothing.

Not only that, some senior generals were half-hearted, and even secretly communicated with the Japanese about the song.

"There are so many disadvantages! No wonder they played so badly in the original history!" The more Jiang Weiguo discovered the problem, the heavier his heart became.

Jiang Weiguo has been doing his best to improve the Chinese army. Although he has various advantages, he is still unable to cleanse the battered Chinese army from the ashes.

Compared with the Japanese invaders who are about to invade, the national army on the Pingjin front line probably has four advantages: first, they have more people than the Japanese army; second, they have the terrain advantage of mountains and rivers; The fourth is the Air Force.

Jiang Weiguo reckoned that the air power on the North China battlefield would definitely play a more important role than in the previous history. Although it could not bomb the Japanese army indiscriminately, it could at least reduce the number and intensity of the Chinese army being bombarded indiscriminately by Japanese aircraft.

Jiang Weiguo really wanted to stay on the front line in Pingjin and do his best to defend North China, but he really wanted to return to Nanjing. First, he knew very well that the strategic significance of the upcoming East China battlefield was greater than that of the North China battlefield. He needs to use his "superpower" of "foreseeing and predicting things like a god" by himself. Second, his father Chiang Kai-shek has sent seven urging telegrams in a row.

Originally, Chiang Kai-shek asked Jiang Weiguo to return to Nanjing with the 918th Regiment and the 10th Artillery Regiment, but Jiang Weiguo tried his best to argue hard, so Chiang Kai-shek agreed to keep these two troops on the North China battlefield.

It doesn't matter if the troops can't be brought back, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't want Jiang Weiguo not to come back.

Before leaving, Jiang Weiguo did his best to do another good deed to the front line in North China, eliminating a hidden danger.

At noon on July 7, Song Zheyuan invited all the senior generals of the 15th Army to gather at Huairen Hall in Beiping City to discuss the expansion of the 29th Army. The other local armies were combined into the 29st Army.

After receiving Song Zheyuan's invitation, all the division and brigade-level generals of the 29th Army came to Huairentang happily. Waiting for others, the division commander will become the army commander, and the brigade commander will become the division commander. Since the promotion is a good thing, of course it is not sensitive to thank you.

But at the meeting, Jiang Weiguo, who attended the meeting, suddenly took out an order and pointed to a lieutenant general among the crowd: "General Shi, according to the reliable information obtained by the Military Commission, it is conclusively proved that you secretly contacted the Japanese invaders and conspired against the country. Surrender to the enemy, so the Military Commission ordered you to be arrested!"

Sun Tao and others who had been disguised as guards outside Huairen Hall for a long time rushed in with bullets loaded and arrested the lieutenant general named by Jiang Weiguo.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Lieutenant General Shi Yousan, Commander of the Northern Hebei Security Army and Commander of the 181st Division, was arrested under Jiang Weiguo's order.

Shi Yousan was dumbfounded, overwhelmed by this sudden turn of events, and at the same time horrified. He really wanted to contact the Japanese in secret, but before he took action, he was "seen through" by Jiang Weiguo, which made him extremely horrified.

After regaining his senses, Shi Yousan shouted in panic, "I'm wronged!"

Jiang Weiguo was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just waved his hand. Sun Tao and the others pointed guns at Shi Yousan, and at the same time took out a rope to tie him up.

"Second son, this..." Song Zheyuan and others looked at Jiang Weiguo in amazement. At the same time, Song Zheyuan suddenly realized that he had been "used" by Jiang Weiguo. He held this meeting by himself, which actually made Jiang Weiguo use it as a grand banquet.

"Sirs, please don't worry!" Jiang Weiguo said with a smile on his face, "Shi Yousan secretly contacted the Japanese invaders and conspired to commit treason and surrender to the enemy. The evidence is solid and ironclad, so the Military Commission had to arrest him!"

Song Zheyuan and the others nodded, but they didn't have much emotional fluctuations. First of all, since Shi Yousan is a ticking time bomb, if he suddenly quits and surrenders to the enemy in the following Pingjin war, the harm it will bring will be immeasurable Second, Song Zheyuan and others didn't have a good impression of Shi Yousan.

Shi Yousan was treacherous, untrustworthy, and capricious. He had defected to Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei, and Zhang Xueliang (later, there were Japanese and the CCP) many times, but he turned his face and betrayed one after another. .

During the Central Plains War, Shi Yousan was originally on Feng Yuxiang's side (Shi Yousan was originally the backbone general of the Northwest Army, but he had betrayed Feng Yuxiang twice), after Zhang Xueliang sent troops to help Chiang, Shi Yousan immediately took refuge in Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang. He obtained a large territory in southern Hebei and northern Henan, but he was not greedy enough. He betrayed Zhang Xueliang two months before the September 181th Incident. As a result, he was jointly suppressed by Zhang Xueliang and Chiang Kai-shek and his entire army was wiped out. Then, with the support of the Japanese and taking advantage of the complicated situation in North China, he transformed himself into the "Commander of the North Hebei Security Army" who secretly obeyed the Japanese. After the July 29th Incident broke out, his troops were reorganized into the [-]st Division. The sequence of the [-]th Army, but temporarily under the command of Song Zheyuan.

Before the Huairentang meeting, Shi Yousan received an invitation from Song Zheyuan and disclosed the expansion of the army. He was eager to expand his power and immediately came forward to throw himself into the trap (in the original history, Shi Yousan's 181st Division was expanded into the 69th Army). The result was solved by Jiang Weiguo.

The reason why Jiang Weiguo solved Shi Yousan is needless to say, to eradicate a hidden danger in the North China battlefield.

Five days later, Shi Yousan, who was taken on a train to Nanjing, "was shot by a guard's gun in the confusion because he intended to jump out of the train to escape and snatched the guard's gun, and died of serious injuries."

At the end of the meeting, Jiang Weiguo quietly found Tong Linge, Feng Zhian, Zhang Zizhong and other generals of the 29th Army who were determined to resist the Japanese War, and reminded them in a low voice and solemnly: "Zheng Dazhang, commander of the 9th Cavalry Division, and Sun Dianying, commander of the 'Chabei Security Army' The two are also a little unstable, you must keep an eye on these two!"

Tong Linge and the others were shocked, but they were sure that Jiang Weiguo's words were not groundless, so they all nodded: "We know it well, Second Young Master, thank you for your reminder!"

On the afternoon of July 7, with all kinds of complicated thoughts, Jiang Weiguo took Yang Mei, Xiao Yao, Sun Tao and others, boarded the train from Peiping to Nanjing, and was about to leave the front line in North China, return to Nanjing, and join the upcoming battlefield in East China.

On the platform, Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, Liao Yaoxiang, Zhao Zhihua, Peng Mengji and other military officers all reluctantly bid farewell to Jiang Weiguo.

Everyone was very sad, because this kind of parting was different from the past. Firstly, it was a time of war, and secondly, everyone was a soldier. This kind of parting might be a life-and-death parting. Maybe this time we can talk and laugh happily. Next time Yin and Yang have been separated.

"Take care, everyone!" Jiang Weiguo said emotionally, "Next time we meet, I hope everyone will be a lot. After defeating the Japanese, we will go to Japan to enjoy cherry blossoms, drink sake, and climb Mount Fuji together!"

Du Yuming and others all smiled bitterly. Jiang Weiguo's words were a bit "outrageous", but it was also in line with his style.

"Jianhao..." Du Yuming didn't say any polite words, he went straight to the point, "When will our two groups return to Nanjing?"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Du Yuming.

The 918th Regiment and the 10th Artillery Regiment are currently under the command of Song Zheyuan in name, and will be under the command of Xue Yue in the future, but whether it is Song Zheyuan or Xue Yue, the real master of these two regiments is Jiang Weiguo. When will these two regiments withdraw from Pingjin? On the battlefield, it is not Song Zheyuan or Xue Yue who has the final say, but Chiang Kai-shek or Jiang Weiguo, which is mainly Jiang Weiguo's attitude.

Even if Song Zheyuan or Xue Yue issued 1 death orders and Jiang Weiguo moved his lips, these two regiments would withdraw.

"Brother Guangting, everyone..." Jiang Weiguo seemed very frank, "We are soldiers, and our duty is to kill the enemy and defend the country, so just do our duty, and I hope to wait for your triumphant return in Nanjing!"

Du Yuming smiled wryly: "Triumph? In fact, we all know very well that Pingjin will definitely not be able to hold on.

That's all! He sighed, "Anyway, you created the 918th Regiment, and if I wiped it out, it's just giving you back what you gave me!"Jianhao, let me put it bluntly, the 918th Regiment is really on the front lines in Pingjin, don't blame me, don't blame us!"

"You can't say that, if you wiped out the 1th Regiment without killing 918 little devils, I will blame you severely!" Jiang Weiguo half-jokingly half-seriously.

"We will work hard!" Qi Xueqi looked very excited, "Jianhao, take care of yourself too!"

Du Yuming was still relentless: "Jian Hao, just tell me the truth! When the casualty rate reaches the number of troops, we can retreat?"

Jiang Weiguo pondered deeply, and finally gave a very tragic figure: "When it reaches [-]%!"

Du Yuming, Sun Liren, Qi Xueqi, Liao Yaoxiang and others all looked solemn and decisive: "We understand!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Okay, I will send you off for thousands of miles, and I will have to say goodbye at the end.

Everyone, I'm leaving! "

With Du Yuming and others waving frequently, Jiang Weiguo embarked on the road back to Nanjing.

When the train started, Jiang Weiguo's mind flashed an emoji of later generation's internet cheapness: "Run after installing X, it's so f*cking exciting!" Jiang Weiguo secretly smiled wryly, "I really did. The fierce battle is coming, but I ran away alone! However, I didn’t really run away, the battle in Songhu is much more fierce than the battle in Pingjin! Alas! A great mission from heaven!”

When Jiang Weiguo returned to Nanjing from the Pingjin front line, on the same day, Chiang Kai-shek officially delivered the famous "Last Moment" public speech and solemn statement on Lushan Mountain: "...There is no chance for compromise. If you give up size, land and sovereignty, you will be the Chinese nation. Sinner.

If the war starts, there will be no distinction between the north and the south, and no distinction between people, old or young. No matter who they are, they all have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war, and they must be determined to sacrifice all wisdom.

Only by sacrificing to the end, fighting to the end, and only with the determination to sacrifice can we win the final victory.

..." On behalf of the Nationalist Government, it officially stated its readiness to start a full-scale war against Japan.

"Japanese, I will make you regret launching this war!" Jiang Weiguo vowed firmly in his heart.

Chapter 145 Returning to Ning (2)

On the morning of July [-], [-], Nanjing, the capital of China, ushered in a group of soldiers who had just returned from the front line and made the whole city of Jinling boil.

Before seven o'clock in the morning, many citizens who got news from various channels waited eagerly on the main street of Nanjing City for the heroic troops who had just killed countless enemies on the front lines of Pingjin and returned triumphantly. The news has spread all over the city of Nanjing. Naturally, the people in the city will not miss this opportunity, not to mention the rumors that there are captured, living Japanese soldiers who are as rare as giant pandas. At one o'clock, Nanjing was crowded with crowds of people, and the alleys were empty.

At ten o'clock, among the hundreds of thousands of Nanjing citizens who "came out after long-awaited calls", a team of more than a hundred military trucks slowly entered the urban area from Guanghua Gate in the southeast of Nanjing. Suddenly, the whole city boiled instantly .

Among the more than one hundred trucks, about half of them were wounded soldiers of the national army with bandages on different parts of their bodies. Among the remaining fifty or sixty vehicles, forty or fifty were loaded with all kinds of spoils, which made people dazzled. The Japanese army's weapons were piled up on the car: [-]-type rifles, [-]-type light machine guns, [-]-type heavy machine guns, [-]-type grenades, [-]-type mortars, [-]-type infantry guns, etc. There are many very eye-catching sun flags, Japanese sabers, and even seven or eight Japanese Type [-] tanks that have been scrapped and dragged into the city by cars. These have already made the citizens of Nanjing cheer and excited. What made the citizens even more ecstatic was the last dozen or so cars in the convoy. In the carriages stood one by one armed and mighty Chinese soldiers, with bayonets in their hands, guarding the dejected, numb faces, and tied up with ropes. Hands and feet of Japanese prisoners.

"Long live the national army! The national army must win!"

"The War of Resistance to the End! Recover the Lost Lands!"

"China must win! Japan must lose!"

The deafening and ecstatic slogans resounded through the whole city of Nanjing in an instant. The Nanjing citizens on both sides of the road were all excited and shouted slogans, and many of them even cried with joy.

This is actually not surprising. After the July [-]th Incident broke out, the Japanese capital Tokyo was full of shouts and screams, and the Chinese capital Nanjing was also full of excitement and enthusiasm. The heart-to-heart situation strongly urges the government to go to war against Japan, wash away the national humiliation, and regain the lost land.

As the capital of China, the anti-war atmosphere in Nanjing is no less than that of Beiping and Tianjin, which were at the forefront. There are large-scale public petitions and demonstrations every day.

On the other hand, people with a little brain in all walks of life in Nanjing know that if China and Japan go to war, Nanjing, which is not geographically inland, is likely to become the target of the Japanese army's attack. Longing for the country to go to war against Japan, on the one hand, it is also very urgent to hope that its own army can win steadily, not only for the country, but also for its own safety.

To put it bluntly, the citizens of Tokyo and Nanjing both demand war, but they certainly don't want enemy planes to drop bombs on their heads, and they only hope that the war will be far away from them.
