I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 620

Exhausted and with a lingering doubt in his mind, Cheng Yingquan returned to the door of his house. He was only thinking about things, but he didn't realize for a while that his house was a bit strange tonight. The voices of wives, daughters, nurses.

After opening the courtyard door, Cheng Yingquan suddenly saw a man in black standing in the courtyard.

"You are..." Cheng Yingquan was a little surprised.

"Mr. Cheng, you are finally home from work!" The man in black looked at Cheng Yingquan with a strange smile on his face, "As the chief urban planner of the Nanjing reconstruction project, you have worked so hard, I have been waiting for you A full four hours!"

Cheng Yingquan stared blankly at the other party, and an ominous thought slowly surged in his heart.

"First of all, please close the courtyard door and don't disturb the neighbors, and secondly, please do as I say!" The man in black said in a calm but obviously unfriendly tone, "Otherwise, you will never see your daughter and you again." wife!"

Cheng Yingquan suddenly felt as if he was falling into an abyss, and his legs were weak. The extreme fear made him stammer and ask: "What the hell is going on? Do you want... money? You... tied... Kidnapped my wife Female? How much do you want...how much?"

The man in black shook his head: "Mr. Cheng, don't be afraid, your wife and daughter are safe now, but whether they can continue to be safe depends on your attitude.

Come, please follow me!" He walked ahead with ease, as if he was familiar with this place.

Tremblingly, Cheng Yingquan followed the man in black, walked into the living room, and finally arrived at his study.

A dim desk lamp was on in the study, illuminating the three people inside. One was Cheng Yingquan's wife, Lin Zhu, and the other two were also men in black. Obviously, these two men in black were guarding Lin Zhu.

"Ying Quan!" Seeing Cheng Yingquan walking in, Lin Zhu, who was full of tears and trembling, immediately rushed to hug her husband, but the three men in black didn't stop him, but just stood by.

"Don't be afraid, I'm back. By the way, where's the child? Where's Mama Wu?" Cheng Yingquan comforted his wife while suppressing the fear in his heart. He noticed that his daughter and Mama Wu, the nanny, were not in the room.

"They were all taken away..." Lin Zhu cried, "This evening, after I got home from work, these people followed in. They had guns. We were all too scared to shout. There were five of them. , two of them drove away their daughter and Wu Ma, and the other three are here...Ying Quan, what's going on here?"

"I don't know either..." Cheng Yingquan looked up at the three men in black in fear, "Gentlemen, what's going on? What do you want? Why did you kidnap my daughter and my nanny?"

Among the three men in black, the one who was waiting for Cheng Yingquan in the yard just now is obviously the leader. He has already sat on the chair behind Cheng Yingquan's desk, flipping through the various design drawings on the desk: "Tsk tsk tsk, Mr. Cheng is worthy He is a top-notch architect in our country, and he really has sharp eyes and insight, such a small change can be hidden from others, but in the end it cannot be hidden from you!" He held up a design drawing, and the patterns and text on it were all in bold written in Chinese characters, but one of the lines, which looks like an underground pipeline, is surrounded by a red line.

"You really discovered it?" The man in black looked at Cheng Yingquan and smiled slightly.

Cheng Yingquan said nervously: "Nanjing...needs to be fully rebuilt. Due to the severe war damage, the whole city is almost newly built, whether it is surface buildings or underground pipelines. Filling...I also discovered this morning. This pipe seems to be unreasonable. It is very abrupt and incompatible with the original overall design. It looks like a sewer, but it is very unreasonable and redundant in the design of the route. , can be completely removed, but I am worried that this is added by other designers. There is some use that I have not been able to figure out for a while, so I haven't modified it yet, but this pipeline happens to lead to Chiang..."

"Mr. Cheng, let's open the skylight and speak plainly!" The man in black stared at Cheng Yingquan, "This tunnel has its own purpose. As for its purpose, you don't need to worry about it, just pretend it doesn't exist. As the designer, you didn't speak, and the workers naturally didn't understand why.

Mr. Cheng, this matter has nothing to do with you, there is no need for you to intervene, otherwise, you will pay a price that you cannot bear!" The tone of his last sentence can already be described as austere.

Although Cheng Yingquan didn't know exactly what happened, he already realized that he and his family were drawn into a terrible whirlpool.

"Where is my child?" Lin Zhu asked weepingly.

The man in black smiled: "We have settled your child somewhere outside Nanjing. She is safe now. The reason why we took your nanny away with the child is so that the nanny can continue to take care of her." child life.

Mr. Cheng and Ms. Lin, I would like to trouble you to go to your child’s school tomorrow to ask for a long vacation for your child, and then continue doing what you should do!”

"When will you let my child go?" Lin Zhu burst into tears, she could hardly stand up.

"It's just a few days, don't worry, it's fine!" The man in black said, taking out a check from his pocket, "This is a 10 yuan check from the Bank of Communications, as a little apology for surprising you, It is also your reward for cooperating with us.

Mr. Cheng and Ms. Lin, remember my instructions. Tomorrow, you go to school to take a long vacation for your children, and then you continue to do what you should do. After a few days, your children will come back safe and sound, and you can still get the 10 ten thousand yuan.

Of course, if you don't cooperate, I don't need to say the result, right? "

Cheng Yingquan and Lin Zhu stared blankly at the 10 yuan check, their minds went blank.

Chapter 712 The Death of Jiang Weiguo (12)

New Year's Day, after four o'clock in the morning, in the sea area outside Shanghai.

On the rough sea, two brightly lit fleets were sailing in opposite directions, like two moving towns on the sea, but there was a huge difference between the two. The fleet that was sailing from south to north was the 12th Transport Fleet. The fleet consists of one heavy cruiser, four destroyers, and ten transport ships. The fleet that is traveling from north to south is the 1st Task Force of the 1st Fleet. This fleet includes many battleships, heavy cruisers, and the "Nanjing" heavy aircraft carrier.

In the command room of the "Nanjing", the fleet commander Zeng Yiding picked up the radio walkie-talkie: "It's me!"

The voice of Ouyang Sihai, commander of the 12th Transport Fleet, quickly came from the intercom: "It's me!"

Zeng Yiding smiled: "The tiger father has no dogs, Ouyang Sihai, you are really capable!"

Ouyang Sihai also laughed: "Mr. Zeng, we are in a hurry, so let's talk quickly!"

Zeng Yiding: "Ouyang Sihai, you know that as long as I give an order now, my fleet can destroy your fleet immediately. Although the Chinese navy's civil war is heartbreaking, it consumes all the resources of the Chinese navy. Strength and vitality, but there is no way, because you are already rebels who endanger the country!"

Ouyang Sihai: "Mr. Zeng, how powerful you are now, with both aircraft carriers and battleships under your command, even the tone of your speech is very different from before.

It's just that you seem to have forgotten who got you these warships under your command, without him, you are now at most commanding a few old-fashioned gunboats and gunboats!"

Zeng Yiding: "This is also the reason why I haven't ordered to open fire until now.

Ouyang Sihai, listen to my advice, it’s not too late to stop now, let us all pretend that this has never happened, otherwise, you and your companions will really be doomed!”

Ouyang Sihai: "For the sake of not being lost forever, do you just sit back and watch him lose everything? Mr. Zeng, you are Mr. Chen (Chen Shaokuan)'s right-hand man, and I am Ouyang Ge's son. The two factions in the navy are fighting each other. It's no secret, but whether it's you and me, or Chief Chen and my father, both factions have a common benefactor, and that's him.

Think about it, what was the Chinese navy like seven years ago?Commander Chen is commanding a dozen or so old-fashioned warships from the late Qing Dynasty, and my father is commanding dozens of old-fashioned torpedo boats. What about now?What a difference!Aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines...everything, whether it is the faction of Chief Chen or my father's faction, our common dream of a powerful navy has been realized because of him.

Would all this be possible without him?How can we be ungrateful?The Navy, if not on his side, has to be neutral, right? "

Zeng Yiding didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he sighed: "Forget it, I don't know anything!"

The two fleets passed each other innocently at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Jiang Weiguo's marriage is doomed to be "yellow".

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the joyous atmosphere in Nanjing is getting hotter and hotter like the rising sun. The whole city can be called an empty alley, especially from Jianye District, Gulou District, Xuanwu District to They finally arrived at the main street by the Xuanwu Lake. The two sides of the road were even more crowded and overcrowded. If there were not two divisions of soldiers maintaining law and order, the social order in the city would have fallen into chaos long ago.

According to the wedding schedule, the groom, Jiang Wei, will first go to Pukou District to meet the bride from his newlywed house on the shore of Xuanwu Lake. The bride and a delegation from her family will be waiting in Pukou District. Then, the couple will return to the shore of Xuanwu Lake new house, hold a wedding ceremony.

Naturally, the citizens of Nanjing and a large number of people who came from other places or even abroad are all eagerly looking forward to seeing the newcomer's demeanor. Outside the border of the army, there are crowds and voices. Pukou District, both sides of the Yangtze River Bridge, Jianye District, Gulou District, Xuanwu District...where there are people wearing clothes and spectators like a city, the adults are smiling and full of interest, and the children are very happy and excited, clapping their hands while running and shouting "Mr. Jiang is getting married" and "Look at the bride." "I want wedding candy", the smiling emcee staff enthusiastically handed out wedding candy to the children on the street.

Jiang Weiguo’s wedding house is on the shore of Xuanwu Lake, with a beautiful view. This house was built by Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling as their parents. It is a villa with a mixture of Chinese and Japanese styles. One is the festive meaning of "phoenix seeking phoenix", and the other is that Jiang Weiguo can be called "dragon and phoenix among people", and the place where he lives is well deserved.

The woman sees off her relatives, and the man welcomes them.

When Jiang Weiguo got married, the man had a lot of relatives and friends. The two parents of the man were Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling. Chiang Kai-shek did not wear a long mandarin jacket today, but a Tang suit. Dressed very carefully, wearing warm clothes and warm trousers inside, and a special cheongsam outside, looking graceful, gorgeous, elegant and noble. In addition to Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, there is another "parent" of Jiang Weiguo who has worked hard to bring him up from an early age. Mrs. Yao Yecheng, Mrs. Yao, compared to Soong Meiling's brilliance, Mrs. Yao is a bit "rustic", but Mrs. Yao is much more excited than Soong Meiling today, she kept wiping her tears. After all, Mrs. Yao is Jiang Weiguo's adoptive mother, and Soong Meiling is Jiang Weiguo's stepmother, the adoptive mother's affection for the child is more than that of the stepmother.

When Jiang Weiguo got married, Mrs. Yao was excited, but also a little annoyed, because she "unscrupulously" wanted to match Jiang Weiguo and Shi Liling back then. Unexpectedly, Jiang Weiguo "did not reject Shi Liling" and married someone else Mrs. Yao was naturally a little unhappy in her heart; apart from the three "parents", there were hundreds of people in Jiang Weiguo's "welcoming group", and Jiang Jingguo and the other eight brothers who swore must be quite a few of them, and they were all beaming.

There were hundreds of Chinese and foreign guests gathered in the area of ​​Phoenix Cottage, all languages ​​intertwined, bustling and bustling.

Because there were too many people, the "elders" represented by Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling were all in Meiling Palace, while Jiang Weiguo and his relatives and friends who were about his age were in Phoenix House.

"Life is like a dream!" Jiang Weiguo, who was wearing a Chinese dress, was full of emotion.

"Okay, don't be emotional, go pick up the bride!" Jiang Jingguo smiled from ear to ear, "According to my understanding, some members of the man's wedding delegation should go to the woman's place first, Wei Guo, as the eldest brother of the groom, I Let's go first, I'll wait for you there!"

"Okay, I'll trouble you, brother!" Jiang Weiguo nodded with a smile.

"Director..." Xiao Yao walked to Jiang Weiguo's side calmly, "There are so many people in Nanjing City today, it's such a good opportunity!" He handed Jiang Weiguo a piece of clothing, "It's really cold, add another piece of clothing Bar!"

Jiang Weiguo got married in Nanjing. It is impossible for no one to sabotage. The military police officers and plainclothes all over the city arrested more than a dozen groups of suspicious elements who tried to sabotage. The identities, methods, origins, and The purpose was different. More than half wanted to assassinate Jiang Weiguo, and some wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate the high-level military and political leaders of the Nationalist Government gathered in Nanjing (Chiang Kai-shek was the second target after Jiang Weiguo). Holding up the Taeji flag while trying to detonate the bombs disguised as kettles or other items, while shouting slogans such as "Long live the liberation of South Korea", "Koreans will never surrender", "Jiang Weiguo betrayed South Korea", it is certain that these suspicious elements are The fanatical extremists in the South Korean revival forces wanted to assassinate Jiang Weiguo because they hated Jiang Weiguo for "selling out South Korea".

Speaking of it, the assassination similar to a terrorist attack can be regarded as a major feature and a major specialty of the South Korean restoration forces.

After South Korea was destroyed by Japan, the Koreans who tried to restore the country took the political line on the one hand, that is, sought the help of the big powers, and on the other hand took the military line to resist Japan by force. However, the South Korean restoration forces did not have the objective conditions to form an army (they It is certainly impossible to form an army in Japan-occupied South Korea, and it is also difficult to be allowed to form an army in a foreign country), so their "military struggle" and "armed resistance against Japan" are assassinations. For example, in 1910, Korean Ahn Jung-geun successfully assassinated Japanese Prime Minister Ito Bowen, in 1932, Korean Yoon Bong-gil successfully assassinated Japanese Army General Shirakawa Yoshinori, and in the same year, Korean Lee Bong-chang failed to assassinate the Japanese Emperor. The above three assassinations were very influential, as for the influence of the Koreans. There are hundreds of assassinations.

In the past, the Koreans specifically assassinated the Japanese, which made Japanese people terrified. The Chinese naturally "loved it" and secretly assisted them (in the three assassinations, the Chinese government or Chinese civil forces basically assisted the Koreans). The Chinese and the Japanese were the target of the assassination together, which had to make Jiang Weiguo and Chiang Kai-shek feel scalp numb.

Fortunately, the Chinese are "very familiar" with the Koreans and are very aware of their hobbies for assassination, so they are fully prepared. The entire Nanjing city is heavily guarded and "one in ten people is plainclothes."

In the open space in front of Meiling Palace, dozens of high-ranking military and political officials of the Nationalist Government were chatting and laughing.

At this time, a major general walked quickly into the crowd with a dignified expression. This person was Yue Xingming, Chief of Staff of the East China Military Region.

Yue Xingming looked at the crowd, and walked straight to his superior, Gu Zhutong, commander of the East China Military Region.

"Mr. Gu, Commander of the Shanghai Garrison Shangguan (Shangguan Yunxiang) just called you an emergency call!" Yue Xingming whispered the report in Gu Zhutong's ear.

"Oh?" Gu Zhutong shook his head, looked around, and quietly withdrew from the crowd, walked to the corner of the open space, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Yue Xingming said a little nervously: "More than two hours ago, the Shanghai Garrison discovered that the No. 12 Navy transport fleet that arrived in Shanghai did not dock at Wusongkou Wharf as originally planned, but sailed directly into the Yangtze River and headed upstream. Shangguan The officer immediately contacted the fleet commander, Ouyang Sihai. Ouyang Sihai claimed that they had temporarily received a new order from the Navy General Headquarters, not to dock in Shanghai, but to go to Zhenjiang to dock. You know, Mr. Gu, that Ouyang Sihai is the deputy of the navy. The son of Commander-in-Chief Ouyang Ge, Shangguan was inconvenient to stop him, so he contacted the Navy Command, but got an ambiguous reply. The headquarters said that the two officers had gone to Nanjing by plane, and they needed time to contact and confirm.

Shangguan waited for nearly two hours but still did not get a reply from the Navy General Headquarters. As long as he contacted the 1st Fleet of the Navy, which was in the outer sea area of ​​Shanghai, the fleet commander Zeng Yiding said that he did not know.

About 10 minutes ago, Chief Shangguan contacted the Zhenjiang garrison and learned that the No.12 transport fleet did not dock in Zhenjiang, but passed through Zhenjiang and continued to move forward. It is estimated that the fleet will arrive in Nanjing soon!"

"What?" Gu Zhutong was taken aback, "What the hell happened? Where did this No.12 transport fleet come back to Shanghai? What's on board?"

"This No.12 transport fleet returned to the mainland from South Africa. The ship carried the 17th Brigade of the 18th Division originally stationed in South Africa. According to the original plan, the brigade was going to return to the mainland to accept the Army's fourth major mission. Rectify!" Yue Xingming said.

"You mean, this transport fleet carried a whole brigade? Or the troops of the Nanjing Army?" Gu Zhutong stared at Yue Xingming dumbfounded.

"Yes, Chief Gu, look..."

"No! This is about to happen!" Gu Zhutong's face turned pale, and he secretly groaned, "Quick! Report this to Mr. He!"

At about 1944 am on January 1, 1, the "Nanjing New Year's Day Incident" (or "Nanjing Coup", "New Year's Day Coup", "Nanjing Mutiny" and "New Year's Day Mutiny") broke out, which shocked the world. It is on the bank of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, so the Japanese officials gave this event a rather meaningful name - "Change of Xuanwu Lake".

There is a one-letter difference between Xuanwu Lake Change and Xuanwu Gate Change. The Japanese chose such an ingenious name for this change, and its intention has to be said to be very interesting.

发动这场事变的部队是中国军队（南京军）第17师第18旅大部分官兵以及（南京军）第180师第180旅的部分官兵，总计约1.3万兵力，装备精良、弹药充足。

The rebels (let’s call them “rebels”) obviously went through detailed and careful planning. After launching the incident, they were divided into multiple groups. Some rebels took speedboats and arrived at Dashengguan in the upper reaches of the Nanjing River section one step ahead. , landed directly at Dashengguan, and then went roundabout to the southern end of the Yangtze River Bridge, cutting off the land passages to the west and north of Nanjing; They rushed forward along the Nanjing city, all the way to Zijin Mountain in the southeast of Nanjing, cutting off the land passage to the east and southeast of Nanjing; Nanjing's waterway channel.

It can be said that the rebels put on a posture of encircling Nanjing from the very beginning, and then encircled the urban area of ​​Nanjing and advanced into the urban area.

The first to exchange fire with the rebels was a battalion of the Fifth Division of the Eighth Army stationed at Dasheng Pass.

The officers and soldiers of the battalion didn't react when they saw a group of soldiers from other troops landing on the Dasheng Pass in an open and calm manner, and they didn't even think that the other party was a rebel army, so they greeted and asked the other party unpreparedly, and the answers they got It was "we came to change shifts to take over the defense". The officers and soldiers of the battalion were all confused and confused until the opponent approached and suddenly raised their weapons and shouted "surrender will not die", most of the officers and soldiers of the battalion were still at a loss. I was at a loss, because I never thought that the opponents were all rebels. They didn't wake up one after another until they were disarmed. Among them, a small group of officers and soldiers of the battalion resisted, but they were shot and killed by the rebels unceremoniously.

Since the end of the melee between warlords before the Sino-Japanese War, for the first time in eight years, the Chinese army has experienced internal fratricide.

Such things happened one after another around the city of Nanjing, and the first batch of Nanjing garrisons who encountered the rebels were controlled or defeated unprepared.

"Dashengguan! Dashengguan! I'm back again!" Standing on the Dashengguan where things are changing and people are changing, Zhang Yun was filled with emotion.
