I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 488

"Did he escape?" Golikov asked worriedly.

"Absolutely can't run away!" The intelligence officer replied with certainty, "unless reinforcements from that division fly in suddenly!"

"Of course it's impossible!" Golikov rubbed his palms excitedly, "The airport has been completely destroyed, and the pier is also in our hands. Air, water, and land are all impassable.

If we can catch him..." His mind was full of thoughts that were getting more and more exciting.

At the same time, Jiang Weiguo was having a private discussion with Xiao Yao in a side room in the Nanjing Army General Headquarters in the city that had become an isolated island in the vast ocean of the Soviet Army.

Xiao Yao handed a report to Jiang Weiguo: "Chen Wenqi is dead. During the daytime battle, he was hit in the head by a bullet and died on the spot!"

Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao curiously: "I know!"

Xiao Yao delivered another report to Jiang Weiguo: "Coincidentally, Yang Hanzhong also died.

Originally, he was imprisoned in a private house, but a shell hit the private house impartially, blowing him into a pool of rotten meat, and he was completely dead without evidence!"

"You want to say..." Jiang Weiguo seemed to understand Xiao Yao's meaning, "That bullet, that shell...wasn't from the Soviet army?"

"Chen Wenqi was ordered by President Fu to investigate that incident with full authority, and Yang Hanzhong was an important person and clue to that incident. Is it not suspicious that the two died together? How much harm did that incident bring to us! In Su Why did the [-]nd Division last only a day and a half after the army reinforcements arrived? The biggest reason is that there is a serious shortage of ammunition!"

"The water in this matter is indeed very deep and muddy!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "However, military adviser, it's this time, reasoning and solving the case is secondary, right? You know better than me what the urgent task is!"

Xiao Yao nodded, he looked at his watch: "Yes, yes, yes, we should go!"

In the conference room of the general headquarters, Fu Zuoyi, Guo Jiqiao, Zhang Shixi, Zhang Shiguang, Zhong Yi, Peng Shiliang and other senior officers were having a meeting, but no one spoke, as if they were waiting for something. When Jiang Weiguo and Xiao Yao walked into the scene, all Everyone looked at them.

"Sirs, let's leave later!" Xiao Yao cut to the chase.

"Let's go?" Fu Zuoyi was very disapproving, "How? Break through? Forget it! We don't have the ability to break through!" He took a long breath, seemed a little emotional, and seemed a little relieved.

Fu Zuoyi didn't leave because he had made a plan to die here. He didn't leave for two reasons. One was to make amends. He faintly harbored the idea of ​​dying for the country, and the second was that Jiang Weiguo procrastinated and dawdled away.

There is no doubt that Jiang Weiguo's life is "more valuable" than Fu Zuoyi's life. If Jiang Weiguo does not leave, Fu Zuoyi can't leave if he wants to. To put it bluntly, if Fu Zuoyi died in Champion City, Jiang Weiguo can be called "the first push hands".

Jiang Weiguo is the leader of Fu Zuoyi. How can the subordinates leave before the leader leaves?On the other hand, Fu Zuoyi also suspected that Jiang Weiguo was hiding some secret weapon. He was sure that if Jiang Weiguo had a way to leave, he would not leave him behind. He still did not believe that Jiang Weiguo really planned to die in Champion City.

"Could it be that General Feng Zhi'an's reinforcements have arrived?" Guo Jiqiao's eyes lit up.

"No, General Feng Zhi'an's reinforcements are still on the way and will arrive in about two and a half hours!" Xiao Yao unceremoniously rejected Guo Jiqiao's guess, "Far waters cannot save near fires!"

Everyone fell silent again.

Chapter 566 The Horn of Attack (1)

In the silence caused by not knowing what to say, Xiao Yao looked at the crowd and began to speak frankly: "I believe you should have discovered a detail, that is, most of the towns and villages in Soviet North Asia were built with wood. This is very similar to the Japanese.

Both the Japanese and the Soviets in North Asia are keen on building houses with wood. Why?The Japanese do that because earthquakes are very frequent in the Japanese archipelago. If you build a house with bricks and tiles, once an earthquake occurs, people will be crushed to death by the collapsed house. Building a house with wood is cheap and safe. Anyway, there are no Japanese here (Junko I’m not there), I might as well just say that we will meet with the Japanese in the future. Our Air Force bomber fleet bombed the Japanese mainland. I believe that the effect of using incendiary bombs on a large scale will far exceed the use of conventional bombs. Burning the Japanese is worse than bombing The dead Japanese are much more efficient. As for the North Asian Soviets, they built their houses with wood. In addition to the reasons of cheapness and safety, the biggest reason is the lack of building materials.

The vast North Asia is a thousand-year-old uninhabited barren land. There is no cement mortar produced locally. Most of the building materials for building houses need to be transported through the Siberian Railway. The transportation capacity of the railway is very precious. Where will it be? Used to transport cement mortar?Anyway, there are virgin forests everywhere in North Asia, so the Soviets in North Asia used local materials to build houses with endless local wood.

For example, most of the buildings in the city we are in, formerly known as Omsk, are made of wood!" Xiao Yao paused, and continued, "A while ago, our army and the Soviet army launched a war in the north of the city. The Soviet army and our army wantonly burned the virgin forest. In order to prevent the forest fire from spreading into the city, our army defended the city and cut down the forest in the north of the city. In the past 30 hours, the 202nd Division fought bloody battles with the Soviet army in the city. The 20th Army launched a breakthrough in the north of the city. The Soviet Army did not stop it. It is estimated that the Soviet Army wished that we could evacuate the city through the north of the city. However, the 20th Army did not evacuate. One, so their task is to move those logs into the city, and cut down a lot of trees. On the surface, we are using those logs to build fortifications and prepare to continue fighting, but in fact, we are seriously short of ammunition and rations , there is no way to fight!"

Fu Zuoyi and others understood it, and Jiang Weiguo also understood it: "You want to set fire?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Well, there are so many logs, if they are set on fire, let the Soviet Army and Champion City live and die together! Anyway, it is not our own city, and there are no Chinese people in the city, so it is no pity to burn it!"

Guo Jiqiao asked thoughtfully: "No wonder you asked the 20th Army to transport and hoard so much wood into the city. It turned out to be for this reason. Then when do you plan to do it?"

Xiao Yao replied, "Now!"

"What? Now?" Everyone was surprised.

Xiao Yao nodded again: "Well, now is the best time.

Gentlemen, a large number of Soviet troops have already gathered in the urban area, and this time is the perfect time to set fire!"

Zhang Shixi, the commander of the 202nd Division, said in shock: "But there are still more than 3000 brothers in our department fighting with the Soviet army everywhere in the city! How do they evacuate?"

"No need to evacuate!" Xiao Yao shook his head.

Zhang Shixi's mind buzzed for a moment, he seemed to understand Xiao Yao's plan, he glared at Xiao Yao: "You want them to die with the Soviet army?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Yes.

Zhang Shizuo, don't get too excited. First, the wounded soldiers and battle flags of your department will be taken away by the 20th Army. Therefore, the 202nd Division is not strictly annihilated. The seeds are still there, and the battle flags are still there. Now, it can be rebuilt; second, those brothers died well, they planned to die here, what is the difference between dying under Soviet bullets and dying in the fire?They are all dead, and dying in the fire can make their death more valuable. Each of them was buried with several Soviet troops; thirdly, this is also the most important point.

Note, please note that there are 10,000+ Soviet troops. If our troops completely withdraw from here, will most of the Soviet troops still be in the city?No, only part of the Soviet army will be in the city, and more troops will be outside the city. Only when the battle is still going on and our army is still in the city, will most of the Soviet army enter the city. The army competed for the city and planned to occupy the whole city.

This is like the indiscriminate artillery coverage that the Soviet army often played. Will our army bombard the Soviet army in vain?Of course not, so the Soviet army deliberately mixed their troops with ours, and then bombarded them indiscriminately, so as to kill our army to the maximum extent, and we are the same now.

We want to burn as many Soviet troops as possible. Therefore, we have to be surrounded by the Soviet troops and fight to the death while being surrounded by the Soviet troops, so as to attract a large number of Soviet troops like a magnet. Under such circumstances, the fire Burn it up, and the effect of killing enemies can be maximized.

Look, we are at our best right now, the Soviets are pouring into the city and surrounding us!"

Zhang Shixi's face turned blue and trembled when he heard this, he admitted that Xiao Yao was right, more than [-] officers and soldiers of his subordinates had already planned to die here, but they died from the battle with the enemy and from being released by their own family. Although they are all dead, there is still a huge difference. There is no essential difference, but only a difference in emotion, which Zhang Shixi finds it extremely difficult to accept.

"You tried your best to persuade the second son to stay here for this purpose?" Fu Zuoyi vaguely understood one thing.

Xiao Yao laughed: "Yes!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "He is an important symbol, very important.

If he leaves, the Soviet army will understand that we are already planning to abandon Champion City, so the Soviet army does not need to put the maximum force into battle. If he is still there, the Soviet army will understand that we intend to continue to fight with them in Champion City After fighting to the end, they will put their maximum strength into the battle and into the city, so that it will be convenient for us to set fire to the city.

Of course, a fire alone is not enough to cause real serious damage to the Soviet army. The fire is a signal. The fire can make Champion City extremely eye-catching at night and in the light snow cloudy sky at this time. Our bomber fleet also You can see it clearly!"

Fu Zuoyi's heart moved: "In the three cities in the northeast of Kazakhstan, are our bombers ready?"

Xiao Yao nodded: "Well, not only our bombers, but also Japanese bombers.

Speaking of which, we also have to thank the Japanese. The Japanese were passive and sabotaged a while ago, making the Soviet army mistakenly believe that we do not have a strong air strike force. Now, it is time for us to surprise the Soviet army.

The whole city is burning, and our army's bomber fleet is in the night sky. It can be said that we can see it clearly! "

Guo Jiqiao thought of a strange place: "Why would the Soviets know why the second son is here or if he leaves here?"

Xiao Yao smiled: "It's not important!"

Fu Zuoyi looked at Xiao Yao: "We have a way to get out of here, right?" He didn't believe that Jiang Wei would let himself be buried in a sea of ​​flames in order to "lure the enemy with his body".

"Coming soon!" Xiao Yao nodded, then walked out of the basement and looked towards the sky.

At about 3 a.m. on March 8, the Nanjing Army in Champion City launched the "Jade and Stone Burning" plan. The code name of the plan is "Jade and Stone Burning", because this word is true and appropriate, and the Nanjing Army is going to set fire to it.

At this time, there were more than 13 Soviet troops on the battlefield in Champion City, only more than 20 troops from the Nanjing Army, and more than 8000 officers and soldiers from the [-]th Army to assist in the battle. Tactics to achieve the purpose of killing the Soviet army to the maximum extent.

When the time for action arrived, following Jiang Weiguo's order, hundreds of officers and soldiers located in the northern part of the city worked together and ignited piles of timber hills poured with gasoline, and fire dragons immediately sprang up from the ground, and then in the north wind Rolling all the way to the south under the whistling roar, and then diffused, spread, and swept away uncontrollably, the dancing fire dragon rapidly expanded unstoppably, fused and entangled with each other, forming waves of flames and even a wave of flames. Bobo broke the embankment and flooded the city, and the champion city, which had become devastated in the fierce battle, was soon covered with blood and smoke, and the sky was dimmed. The fire was like a burning and moving Great Wall, billowing thick smoke Soaring into the sky, gathered into overwhelming dark clouds, the whole sky was covered by dark cloud-like black smoke, and the cloud smoke was reflected blood red by the fire. The air was melted by hot air and black smoke. After the fire, there was a piece of ashes and scorched earth. Above the fire, there was a cloud of smoke covering the sky. Before the fire, there was a surging heat wave. The boa constrictor licked the sky in faith.

The Soviet army who attacked the city did not expect that the Nanjing Army would do such a "crazy thing". The biggest reason was that there were still thousands of Nanjing troops in the city who persisted in resisting and fighting, and the few senior officers such as Golikov were still there. Having mastered the top-secret information that "Jiang Weiguo has always been in the urban area", the Soviet army never dreamed that the Nanjing Army would set fire to the city. Golikov filled a large number of troops into the urban area. One is to win the champion city before the reinforcements of the Nanjing Army arrive, and the other is to send good news to Stalin earlier, which makes the number of Soviet troops in the city extremely large and the density is extremely high. Golikov also considered the use of artillery groups by the Nanjing Army to attack The Soviet Army carried out artillery coverage, but the Nanjing Army did not have that many artillery at all. As for the bombers, Golikov also ruled it out. He never expected that the Nanjing Army would have thousands of its own people and Jiang Weiguo himself in the city. He was set on fire, which made him extremely caught off guard, and even panicked. The supreme commander's bewilderment caused the majority of grassroots officers and soldiers of the Soviet army to quickly fall into extreme chaos.

When the fire wave swept from north to south, there were at least [-] Soviet troops in the city, and it was horrible. Seeing the roaring fire, the Soviet troops who were first threatened by the fire panicked and hurriedly wanted to escape or give way, but There were too many Soviet troops in the city, and the density was too high. There was a big chaos like a big collapse. The Soviet troops who were eager to escape and the Soviet troops who blocked the road were overcrowded, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties. Infected each other rapidly, and the situation was completely out of control. Amidst the extremely diverse and deafening shouts, roars, and curses, the Soviet army pushed, crowded, and trampled each other like ants on a hot pot, and even broke out into groups. Fighting and firing at each other, seeing the fire is about to burn, some Soviet troops were desperate and shouted for the sky, and some Soviet troops were red-eyed and shot at their accomplices around them, killing a bloody road to escape. Tens of thousands of people were like boiling rice They collided with each other like porridge, and people kept being squeezed to the ground, and then they were trampled to death by their accomplices when they couldn't stand up at all. There were bloody and dying Soviet soldiers trampled by their accomplices everywhere.

In the extreme chaos, the fire continued to approach calmly and began to devour the Soviet troops one by one. In fact, before the fire arrived, the thick smoke and lack of oxygen suffocation had killed a large number of Soviet troops. , the air was scalding like boiling water, and the billowing smoke and fire consumed the oxygen, causing the Soviet soldiers to cough violently, and fell down one after another in the suffocation and dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen, and finally came roaring The fire was submerged and turned into charred corpses or human candles.

The area where the General Command of the Nanjing Army is located is rapidly changing from a small island in the vast ocean of the Soviet Army to a small island in the sea of ​​fire. Jiang Weiguo, Xiao Yao, Fu Zuoyi, Guo Jiqiao, Zhang Shixi, Zhang Shiguang, Zhong Yi, Peng Shiliang Waiting for senior officers and guards to run out of the basement wearing gas masks, looking up at the night sky like sunset clouds burning clouds.

In the night sky, there was a loud roar, and a large number of Chinese and Japanese bombers were coming from the sky.

What Jiang Weiguo and others are waiting for is definitely not these bombers, but another kind of aircraft.

Looking forward to it, five night elf-like aircraft descended from the sky swiftly and steadily. Fu Zuoyi and others were all wide-eyed and deeply surprised, because this aircraft was something they had never heard of or seen, although it was also a kind of aircraft. But it is fundamentally different from the most common and only fixed-wing aircraft at this time. The propeller of this aircraft is large and long, and it is on the top of the cabin instead of the front end. The performance of the aircraft is even more amazing. Freely and deftly hover up and down.

"This is a helicopter!" Jiang Weiguo introduced to Fu Zuoyi and others, "A new type of aircraft that does not need a runway.

Let's go! "

Fu Zuoyi, Guo Jiqiao and the others hurriedly climbed up to the helicopter that landed while amazed. Fu and Guo looked at each other, and they both saw each other's tacit eyes: this little second Jiang!Sure enough, he had secretly prepared a secret weapon to escape!

The hatch of the first helicopter was opened, and Jiang Weiguo was surprised to see a colonel: "Mr. Zhu?"

It was Zhu Jiaren, the pioneer of China’s helicopter aviation industry, outstanding aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer who drove the first helicopter. He looked at Jiang Weiguo with a happy smile: "Haha! Second son, I finally showed you our achievements! And it seems that It's a godsend time! Without our helicopter, you really can't escape!"

Jiang Weiguo laughed: "Yes! Whether I can escape now depends on your helicopter!"

Helicopters, a new type of aircraft, have been studied by the major powers long ago, but they are basically the private activities of scientists and have not received official support from the government. Among them, Germany started a little late, but its technological level is at the forefront of the world. Germany's Aeronautical scientists such as Anton Fleitner, Heinrich Falk, Georg Wolff, and R. Schmidt have all made major breakthroughs in this matter, but the German military is not very interested in this because the helicopter At this time, it is in a primitive state, with a lot of shortcomings (mainly that it is difficult to use it as a weapon quickly). In addition, China, whose scientific level and industrial level are very different from those of the United States, Britain, France and Germany, is not too far behind in this matter. Among them, Zhu Jiaren is the most outstanding representative. Zhu Jiaren has long been interested in helicopters and has a lot of research.

As early as before the Battle of Nanjing, Jiang Weiguo commissioned Zhu Jiaren to carry out special research on helicopters, and invited a large number of helicopter experts and technicians from Germany. After more than three years, Zhu Jiaren and other Chinese and German scientists produced the final results, namely Zhu Jiaren At this time, the transport helicopter named "Hummingbird A" was being driven.

"Mr. Zhu, why did you fly the plane yourself?" Jiang Weiguo climbed into the helicopter, feeling very puzzled.

Zhu Jiaren smiled wryly and signaled Liang Fei, the captain of the Special Forces Corps in the co-pilot seat beside him: "No way! This Chief Liang is worried about the quality of the plane, and he is afraid that I will play tricks, so he forced me to fly the plane himself with a gun!"

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help laughing.

The crowd climbed onto the five helicopters in a single file, but there were so many people that the helicopters were seriously overloaded.

When everyone climbed into the helicopter, only Zhang Shixi, the commander of the 202nd Division, stood outside, even though the helicopter's propeller whirlwind made his clothes rustle and slapped.

"Mr. Zhang, get on the plane quickly! There is no time!" Jiang Weiguo greeted.

Zhang Shixi showed a miserable look, with tears in his eyes: "I am the teacher, but I still have more than 3000 brothers in the city! They are being burned to death! My teacher abandoned them at a critical moment and ran away alone? How can I feel sorry for them? I and They said, live and die together!"

"Mr. Zhang..." Everyone felt bad.

Zhang Shixi picked up a submachine gun: "Let's go! I want to die with my brothers!" He roared again, "Who else wants to die here with me?"

The 202nd brigade commander Zhang Shiguang, the deputy brigade commander Zhong Yi, and the 222nd brigade commander Peng Shiliang were all about to get off the plane. Jiang Weiguo shouted anxiously: "You are all dead, how can I rebuild the [-]nd division? Come up for me! "

Zhu Jiaren shouted: "There is no time! The fire is coming!"

Zhang Shixi sternly said: "Brigade Commander Zhang, Deputy Brigadier Zhong, and Brigadier Peng, I order you to survive and rebuild our [-]nd Division!" He raised his right fist, "Beiwei! Long live!"

The three of Zhang Shiguang raised their right fists together with tears in their eyes: "Beiwei! Long live!"

More than a dozen mid-level and low-level officers and division guards belonging to the 202nd Division jumped out of the helicopter and followed the division commander Zhang Shixi into the battlefield. Jiang Weiguo saluted them with tears in his eyes: "Go well!"

The helicopter climbed steadily and flew over the sea of ​​flames. The heat waves surged upwards, scorching the aluminum skin and wood shell of the helicopter to heat up rapidly.

On the plane, Jiang Weiguo looked down at the scenes in the sea of ​​flames below. The whole city was like a mountain where magma flowed horizontally after a volcanic eruption. He clearly saw groups of people covered in fire rolling around desperately on the ground, trying in vain to extinguish the flames on their bodies. The cries and howls of ghosts and wolves struggling to die were covered by the huge burning sound of the fire. The place where the fire hit was also a piece of scorched earth. The desperate crowd wailed and cried loudly, and the small rivers in the city were instantly dried up by the high temperature of the fire and boiled. The river water became boiling water, scalding water. In the steam, the people rushing to jump into the river to escape the fire were immediately scalded to death, boiled, and steamed to pieces like fish in a pot. The flesh was rotten, and the corpses that died in the river and on the bank were intertwined, all showing separated corpses and bones, because the flesh on the body was scalded by the boiling water.

Thick smoke billowed and black clouds overwhelmed the city. Countless people were suffocated by the thick smoke and fell unconscious while fleeing, and then were swallowed by the raging fire.

Jiang Weiguo knew that the vast majority of those who died in the sea of ​​fire and smoke were Soviet soldiers, but there were also [-] of his own brothers. They died on the battlefield, but they died from the fire set by their own people and the bombs dropped.

Above the helicopter, waves of bombers are coming from the sky, with the blue sky and white sun military emblem or the rising sun logo sprayed on the fuselage. The Chinese and Japanese air forces assembled in the three cities in the northeast of Kazakhstan are all going all out under the order of Jiang Weiguo. Participated in this battle, with a total of more than 800 Japanese Type 400 bombers and more than 1000 Chinese Air Force bombers, including nearly a hundred "Panda" strategic bombers. The intensity is unprecedented, and even because of the large number of aircraft and the high density, there have been more than a dozen aircraft collisions and crashes in the air. More than 2000 Chinese and Japanese bombers carried more than [-] tons of bombs at one time, and most of them were incendiary bombs. .
