I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 376

Among the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, the mid-level and lower-level officers and soldiers all cheered and looked joyful, while the high-level officers and generals looked complicated, some were expressionless, some were aggrieved, and some had a forced smile. Looking at the majestic Jiang Weiguo's army with extreme bitterness.

"Mr. Zhang, you've worked hard! You've worked hard!" Jiang Weiguo strode forward, saluted Zhang Xueliang with a smile on his own initiative, and then he was full of praise, "Your actions can be said to be shameless and courageous, and shameful! In the September 30th Incident, you misjudged the situation and made a big mistake that was almost irreversible. The whole country scolded you as a non-resistance general and scolded the Northeast Army for not daring to fight. Now, you and the soldiers of the Northeast Army have proved it with practical actions. I have saved myself and made up for the big mistake I made eight years ago, congratulations!" He looked with satisfaction at the fact that there were only [-] to [-] remnants of the Northeast Army back then.

Zhang Xueliang could hear the sarcasm and warning hidden in Jiang Weiguo's words, he said with difficulty: "The second son has won the prize, these are what I should do, and I should have done it eight years ago!"

"Speaking of which, what you did caught me, my father, and the entire government by surprise!" Jiang Weiguo continued with a harmless smile on his face. , has already committed a big taboo, not to mention, you still did this kind of thing when we cooperated with the Japanese, the negative impact is indeed not small! However, I, my father, and the government all understand you Yes, that's why I didn't declare you as rebels, and I didn't help the Japanese army suppress you, and even supported you secretly.

You did not live up to our expectations, you played well, you played well! "He smiled like a flower.

Zhang Xueliang obviously resisted Jiang Weiguo's condescending, sweet-mouthed way of speaking, he hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Second son, take a step to speak!"

The two walked tens of meters away without any entourage.

Zhang Xueliang lit a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Weiguo. The two smoked together. Zhang Xueliang looked bitter and desolate, while Jiang Weiguo smiled like a smiling tiger.

After smoking half a cigarette, Zhang Xueliang got straight to the point: "You have been using me all this time!"

Jiang Weiguo squinted his eyes at Zhang Xueliang, and then cut to the chase: "Hmm!"

Zhang Xueliang smiled wryly and puffed out a puff of smoke: "I have always been your pawn!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded with a smile, and admitted frankly: "That's right!" He blew out a long smoke ring, "Fill you out of captivity, put your troops in Rehe, next to Liaoning, and put the whole country on the ground." So many Northeast exiles are placed in Rehe, why am I like this? I am not afraid of accidents? Of course not, because I can't ask for more.

You, many senior generals of the Northeast Army, actually don't want to fight. You shout fiercely, but your body is very honest. You don't really want to fight back to the Northeast, because you have no territory, but there are still troops. Fighting back to the Northeast is doomed Will consume the last of your capital.

I put you in Rehe, you can only submit.

Your high-ranking personnel do not want to fight, so I will use the public opinion of the middle and low-level officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and the majority of exiled Northeast people to force you to fight.

Okay, you guys started fighting involuntarily, tsk tsk, right in my arms.

Otherwise, why would I pretend to be confused in the first place?He also asked Yu Xuezhong to mobilize so many weapons and ammunition for you to carry out this battle.

You have messed up the Northeast, and the Japanese have nothing to do. With my pressure, the Japanese will naturally return or part of the Northeast. In addition, it is my fundamental goal that you and the Japanese will lose both.

The Northeast Army is almost dead and injured, and the Northeast Army will naturally belong to me, and the warlord power of the Northeast Army will also be wiped out!" He looked at Zhang Xueliang, and his words were as frank as steel nails and sharp arrows, piercing the opponent's body. Mentally riddled with holes.

Zhang Xueliang looked at Jiang Weiguo with resentment in his eyes: "Jiang Weiguo, you are really poisonous!"

"I'm poisonous?" Jiang Weiguo laughed, contemptuously, "Everything I do is for the country.

Why should I root you out?Because you and your forces are the cancer on this country!It must be eradicated!In fact, Zhang Xueliang, you should thank me, because at least I gave you a chance to pay for your crimes and make meritorious deeds.

Otherwise, you will always be infamous forever!Wouldn't it be best to throw your last pennies into a battle to clear your shame?Zhang Xueliang, you have to understand that your non-resistance back then almost brought disaster to our country!Based on this alone, ten thousand times of your death is not enough to make up for it!So far, what else do you want?Still want to separate one side and split the soil to become king?Hehe, honestly follow your Miss Zhao Si to live a happy life! "He shook off the cigarette butt, and left alone without looking at Zhang Xueliang.

Chapter 451

In Qingdao, the wind is cold and the snow is falling. The whole city is decorated with lanterns and festoons, preparing to welcome the Spring Festival.

More than a dozen large German ocean-going cargo ships flying the Iron Cross flag slowly entered Qingdao Port. Each ship had a deep draft, and it was obvious that the ship was full of heavy supplies.

A small group of senior officers of the Nanjing Army was already waiting by the pier. The leader was Jiang Weiguo. He looked at the German fleet that was docking with a smile on his face, and then looked happily at the German weapons loaded on board.

Arming ten divisions of the Nanjing Army and more than 30 Chinese soldiers with German weapons is an important part of the Sino-German cooperation agreement.

More than 30 Chinese soldiers armed with German weapons are completely "black-eyed, black-haired, and yellow-skinned German soldiers." During the Soviet War that broke out shortly afterwards, they became an important help for the German army to defeat the Soviet Union.

This is a wonderful move, and it is also a brilliant strategy for mutual benefit and win-win between China and Germany.

Neatly stacked 98k rifles, mp-28/38 submachine guns, mg-34 general-purpose machine guns, mortars, [-] anti-aircraft guns, anti-war guns, anti-tank guns, howitzers, No. [-] and No. [-] tanks...see Jiang Weiguo couldn't agree with each other. In addition to weapons and equipment, there are also a large number of machinery and equipment. As the saying goes, "Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish." The Chinese army always reaching out to Germany is definitely not a long-term solution, so Germany has also shipped a lot of military industry. The production line allows the Chinese army to manufacture German weapons, heavy weapons such as cannons and tanks. At the very least, "gadgets" such as firearms, bullets, and grenades can quickly realize the localization of German weapons in China.

Several senior German officers got off the boat, the leader was a lieutenant general, and he walked towards Jiang Weiguo with a smile on his face: "General Jiang, hello, I am Fritz Ery, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the German Army. Schie von Manstein, in charge of the escort and delivery of the ordnance machinery that we support your side!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback. He saluted and only shook hands with Manstein in surprise and admiration, because he knew that Manstein was not an idler, he was a famous military strategist. , Strategist, and tactician, together with Guderian and Rommel in the original history, were known as the "Three Great German Generals of World War II".

"General Manstein, I have admired his name for a long time. I am lucky to see you today!" Jiang Weiguo greeted Manstein with a smile on his face.

Manstein certainly didn't understand Jiang Weiguo's words. After all, he hadn't really made his mark on the stage of the world war, so he took Jiang Weiguo's sincere words as polite words.

"General Jiang, I am here as the envoy representative of Hitler and the German military, let's take a step to speak!" Manstein looked serious and serious.

Jiang Weiguo understood.

In the reception room of a bungalow by the pier, Jiang Weiguo and Manstein had a private talk, and Liu Fengling served as the interpreter.

"Hitler and we are both deeply satisfied with this war in the Far East!" Manstein went straight to the point, "On the one hand, this war proved China and Japan's tough attitude towards the Soviet Union. Undoubtedly, the facts have proved that Both China and Japan firmly hold a war attitude towards the Soviet Union, and they are Germany's staunch allies in the next war against the Soviet Union. We have no doubts about this; on the other hand, this battle has proved that the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is Very strong, although China's national strength is still very weak, the Chinese army was a relatively primitive army two or three years ago, but the progress of the Chinese army has a strong acceleration, we are now very optimistic about the Chinese army and have full confidence in it, On the whole, the Chinese army is already a powerful army of a major power, and it can fully undertake the war mission of cooperating with the German army to fight against the Soviet Union.

Take a step back and say that the Soviet Union has suffered a great loss from you. After the war between Germany and the Soviet Union, even if you do not participate in the war, the Soviet Union must at least mobilize more than 100 million troops to guard against you in the Far East. This alone is of great help to the German army. Auxiliary role!"

Jiang Weiguo's heart suddenly moved. He lit a cigarette and looked at Manstein closely: "General Manstein, Hitler...are you ready to start a war against the Soviet Union?"

Manstein nodded lightly: "In the past, because of the Soviet Union's special political system and blockade methods, we didn't know much about the Soviet Union, and we didn't know much about the Soviet Union's national and military strength, because it was really not easy to get detailed information, but after this In the Far East War, the Soviet Union and the Soviet army’s foreign strength and middle-ranking cadres have been fully exposed. This should be the direct result of the great purge movement. With the passage of time, the Soviet Union and the Soviet army will surely recover slowly. In addition, through this Far East War, the top Soviet commanders will also discover their various shortcomings, defects, and shortcomings, and then improve, correct, and make up for them.

Therefore, the current Soviet Union is in its weakest state, and it is the best time for us to launch a thunderous blow against it!If it continues to drag on, the war will not be easy to fight.

We must be prepared for a protracted war against the Soviet Union, but we must not procrastinate and delay the solution, we must fight a 'quick and protracted war'!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded, "Quick battles and protracted battles", this sentence seems to be contradictory, but it is actually a very clever foresight.

The Soviet Union, because it is too huge, is destined to be impossible to defeat at once, but it must be fatally injured at once when it is weakest, and then slowly and completely eat it.

To kill a mouse you can crush it with one foot, but to kill a bear you can't crush it with one foot, but to break its backbone in the first blow so that it Falling into paralysis of the whole body, it can only struggle to the death and cannot make a comeback, and then slaughters it one by one until it is completely killed.

"When?" Jiang Weiguo puffed out a puff of smoke and asked in a low voice.

Manstein paused, and said in a low voice: "It should be the spring and summer of this year (1940).

We will strive to eliminate or deal a fatal blow to the Soviet Union before the Russian winter arrives.

From spring and summer to winter, we have more than half a year to do this, which should be quite sufficient.

To be honest, I am already the chief of staff of the German Army Group South!"

"Oh? Southern Army Group?" Jiang Weiguo looked at Manstein.

Manstein nodded: "There is also an 'Army Group North'.

After the outbreak of the war, the Southern Army Group will pass through Hungary and Romania and invade the southern part of Eastern Europe of the Soviet Union, first attack Ukraine, then the Don River Basin, and finally enter the Caucasus; the Northern Army Group will first gather in northeastern Germany. If Poland joins the Quadruple Alliance And let go of the road, the Northern Army Group will pass through Poland, attack the Leningrad region in the northwest of the Soviet Union, block the Soviet Union's Northwest Arctic Ocean and the northern Atlantic Ocean, and cut off the Soviet Union's access to external aid.

In the Far East, because the Soviet Union has been forced to return the Northeast of China to China, Vladivostok, an ice-free port in the Far East, is already Chinese territory, and the Far Eastern part of the Siberian Railway has been interrupted, so the Soviet Union has lost access to the sea and external access in the Far East. A channel for aid!" He smiled slightly, "Although the Soviet Union is big, it is completely a 'landlocked country'!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded again, smoking deeply: "Very good war plan!"

Manstein continued: "In dealing with the Soviet Union, in addition to Italy, Spain, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Poland, Germany will also receive assistance from Finland and the three Baltic states.

Finland and the three Baltic countries have also fallen to us!"

Jiang Weiguo smiled: "If you get the right way, you will get help, but if you lose the way, you will get little help.

Really! "

Germany was indeed "a lot of help" in dealing with the Soviet Union. None of the Soviet Union's neighbors did not have a bad relationship with the Soviet Union. China and Japan in the Far East, Poland, Romania, Finland, and the three Baltic countries in Europe were all the same. ".

Needless to say, Poland and Romania, as for Finland, in the original history, the Soviet Union invaded Finland and broke out the "Soviet-Finnish War (Winter War)". The indifference and hostility of Su-Fen relations.

The relationship between Germany and Finland has always been close, while the relationship between the Soviet Union and Finland has always been cold. The Soviet Union has long instigated the Communist Party of Finland to carry out an "armed revolution" in Finland, and also fostered a "People's Republic of Finland" that is completely obedient to Moscow and tries to replace the legal government of Finland. The puppet regime, and Finland also intervened during the Soviet-Russian civil war, making the relationship between the two countries always at a freezing point. Finland always regards the Soviet Union as an old enemy. As early as the spring of 1939, the Soviet Union tested Finland and asked Finland to cede part of its territory to the Soviet Union "so as to consolidate the security of the Soviet Union's northwest border area." At the same time, the Soviet Union would compensate Finland for some land, but the Soviet Union wanted Finland to cede the land It is a key area in southeastern Finland, so Finland categorically rejected the Soviet Union's proposal.

In this regard, the Soviet authorities were very angry. In the original history, the Soviet Union launched the Soviet-Finnish War and aggressively invaded Finland.

But at the moment, the Soviet Union suffered a disastrous defeat in the Far East War and had to temporarily give up its war attempt against Finland, but Finland's hatred of the Soviet Union remains unchanged.

When Germany and the Soviet Union signed the non-aggression pact, they divided each other's spheres of influence. Finland was included in the Soviet sphere of influence. Germany turned around and showed the treaty to the Finns (and also to the Poles). The Finnish high-level officials were shocked And resentment, completely fell to Germany.

As for the three Baltic countries, the situation is exactly the same as that of Finland. These three small countries lived in the red shadow of the Soviet Union for a long time. They feared and hated the Soviet Union. In the original history, the three Baltic countries were annexed by the Soviet Union before the German-Soviet War, and when the German army entered the three Baltic countries, they were welcomed by the local people).

"How many troops is Germany going to dispatch?" Jiang Weiguo asked Manstein.

Manstein replied: "It should be around 250 million.

On the one hand, we have reduced more than 50 troops to arm the Chinese army. On the other hand, we have to mobilize more than 100 million troops to defend against Britain and France in western Germany.

Although Britain and France are very happy to see us fight with the Soviet Union, in order to avoid being robbed by them, we have to mobilize heavy troops to guard against them!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded gently, 250 million German troops, much less than in the original history, when Germany attacked the Soviet Union in the original history, it dispatched more than 500 million troops at once (including many troops from the German slave countries, but the German soldiers were not less than 400 million), the sharp drop at the moment is naturally affected by the "butterfly effect".

However, there are fewer people. If the strategy is completely correct, Germany's victory will not decrease but increase.

Analyzing from a macro perspective, Germany's war against the Soviet Union at this time is actually much more beneficial than in the original history.

Manstein finally said: "We don't ask the Chinese army to fight with the German army at that time. After all, you are not fully ready. We can give you a little time for buffering. However, after Germany launched a war against the Soviet Union, three Within a month, you must also go to war!"

Jiang Weiguo thought about it. According to Germany's war plan, Germany will officially launch an all-out war against the Soviet Union in the spring and summer of this year. Three months later, it will be autumn. The Chinese army still has more than half a year to prepare.

"I see!" Jiang Weiguo nodded solemnly, "General Manstein, please tell Führer Hitler that I, China, and the Chinese army will not let him, Germany, or the German army down!"

Manstein laughed: "Of course, we firmly believe that!"

After Manstein left, Liu Fengling looked at Jiang Weiguo with complicated eyes: "There will be another war soon!"

"Yes!" Jiang Weiguo sighed, "And it is a world war of unprecedented scale!" He stood up, "Let's go! We are running out of time, and there are still many things to do!"

The war in the Far East has been completely over, but there are still some wars taking place intermittently, all of which are in the country, all of which are civil wars.

At this time, China cannot continue to fall into division, and local warlords cannot continue to exist, and they must be wiped out.

In fact, this is what Chiang Kai-shek has long wanted to do, but he has been unable to do so. Now, he has the hand of Jiang Weiguo, and China's "substantial unification" has also ushered in the last and best historical moment .

If we say that when the Northern Expedition ended in 1928, Chiang Kai-shek completed the unification of China in name, then at the beginning of 1940 at this time, Jiang Weiguo had substantially completed the unification of China.

Relying on the means of driving away tigers and wolves and killing people with knives, Jiang Weiguo eradicated the factions of the Northeast Army, and wiped out the Qiaobashan forces in Outer Mongolia and the Sheng Shicai forces in Xinjiang in the Far East War. The few warlords who have already carried out the final settlement after autumn.

The Nanjing Army’s use of troops in Xinjiang passed through the three northwestern provinces and cooperated with the Majia Army in the Northwest. Among the three northwestern provinces, Gansu Province is the most important, because Gansu Province directly connects Shaanxi Province and Xinjiang Province, and the important Hexi Corridor is within the territory of Gansu Province.

After fighting Xinjiang, Jiang Weiguo unequivocally attacked the Majia Army in the Northwest.

Four miles to the northwest, Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing occupy Qinghai Province (Ma Bufang is a powerful figure, and Ma Buqing is completely emptied by Ma Bufang), Ma Hongkui occupies Ningxia Province, and Ma Hongbin occupies Gansu Province, but Gansu Province is not entirely Ma Hongbin's territory. Gansu Province occupies the main ruling power, and Ma Hongbin only takes a share of it. Part of his power is also in Ningxia Province, but he is excluded by Ma Hongkui.

After seeing the strength of the Nanjing Army with his own eyes, Ma Hongbin had the idea of ​​"surrendering" because he had no real independent territory, and his strength was not as good as that of Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui (in the original historical liberation war, Simali in the Northwest Only Ma Hongbin surrendered to the CCP, and the other three horses resisted to the end), so after Jiang Weiguo's coercion and temptation, Ma Hongbin chose to abandon the dark and turn to the open, and Gansu Province was taken by Jiang Weiguo without bloodshed.

After Gansu Province was captured by Jiang Weiguo, Ningxia in the north of Gansu and Qinghai in the south of Gansu were in a state of separation. Ma Bufang and Ma Hongkui could not help each other, and were then defeated one by one by Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo first attacked Ma Hongkui, who was not as strong as Ma Bufang. The 123rd Division of the Nanjing Army marched into Ningxia Province, and fought several fierce battles with Ma Hongbin's troops, which severely damaged Ma Hongbin's troops. Therefore, it was also taken by Jiang Weiguo.

The two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia were successively taken by Jiang Weiguo, leaving only Ma Bufang, the strongest in Qinghai, left in the Majiajun Group.

Regarding Ma Bufang, Jiang Weiguo was not in a hurry, anyway, taking Qinghai was not imminent, so he dumped this burden on Chiang Kai-shek.
