I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 545

The rapidly attacking Nanjing Army used psychological warfare as its main tactic, constantly capturing prisoners, and then letting the prisoners shout to the U.S. troops who were still resisting.

After being convinced that the Nanjing Army would not harm them, the terrified U.S. prisoners basically chose to "cooperate with the aggressors without spine."

"Guys, surrender! They don't hurt prisoners!" American prisoners shouted to their companions in the battle.

The fighting will of the U.S. military is indeed not as tenacious as that of the Japanese or Soviet troops (in fact, the fighting will of the Soviet army is not so tenacious). Walking out from the resistance with both hands up, the Nanjing Army naturally did not shoot. On the one hand, they treated the injured American troops, and on the other hand, let the uninjured American prisoners also shout at the American troops who were still fighting.

These U.S. troops who had surrendered found that the Nanjing Army did not back down, completely relieved, and also joined the propaganda offensive. Therefore, the Nanjing Army’s offensive can be said to be invincible, and important facilities such as U.S. military airports, barracks, and warehouses fell into the Nanjing Army one after another. In their hands, the Nanjing Army also captured a large number of unarmed U.S. prisoners, because these U.S. troops were on vacation. After receiving the notice from their superiors or knowing the outbreak of the war, they hurried to their combat posts. On the way, they met the Nanjing Army who came to kill them. They were unarmed. I can only raise my hands. Many American prisoners are disheveled or wearing civilian clothes. They look like civilians. They were captured before they participated in the battle. A group of U.S. troops came running. The Nanjing troops were all loaded with live ammunition and neatly armed. They wore field camouflage uniforms, steel helmets, and were covered with weapons. They were fierce and murderous. Not yet tied up, shirtless, bare chested, wearing a straw hat on his head, beach pants on his lower body, flip-flops on his feet, and a fishing rod or surfboard in his hand.

"Fuck!" The Nanjing Army was taken aback by these nondescript American troops.

"Fuck!" The U.S. military was taken aback by the Nanjing Army that descended from heaven.

The two sides stared wide-eyed at first, and then the Nanjing army raised their rifles one after another, and the U.S. army obediently raised their hands and surrendered.

Dong Xianrui, head of the 50st Regiment of the 771th Brigade, led the whole regiment straight to Pearl Harbor without encountering too strong resistance. The whole regiment rushed from the north of the island to the south of the island three hours later in a hurried march. The entire Pearl Harbor It was fully displayed in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the 771st regiment. They saw that this famous military port, which was built in the mountains and water, with a beautiful environment, sea and mountains, and should have been clean and orderly, was now a mess and chaos. The sunny blue sky and white clouds were replaced by black smoke that covered the sky and the sun. From time to time, Japanese military aircraft roared in and out of the clouds of smoke. The land by the port and the water in the port were completely turned into super-large garbage dumps. The fire was raging on the land, the smoke was billowing, and the buildings and the green trees near the buildings were burning. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft dropped a lot of bombs on the buildings and facilities near the port, causing the buildings to collapse. , The dust was flying, and the trees were broken by the explosion shock wave. Shocking large craters were scattered on the land by the port. The surroundings of each crater were full of various car wreckage, building rubble, and machine parts. As well as fragmented human body parts, glaring pools of blood, scuttling flames, flying garbage, and occasionally the wreckage of Japanese aircraft that was shot down, the Americans on the land were running around in panic like frightened chickens and ducks All the while, ambulances, fire engines, and military jeeps were speeding amidst the piercing sirens, and car accidents occurred from time to time. At this time, the Americans, especially the U.S. military, had initially recovered from being caught off guard by surprise attacks. They began to do their best to carry out rescue and combat preparations. The wounded were continuously sent to the hospital, and the corpses of the dead were continuously gathered. When they were salvaged from the water, more than half of the wounded and dead came from Pearl Harbor. Religious people held religious ceremonies beside the pile of dead. The hospitals were overcrowded. There was a sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and rivers of blood flowed on the ground. Doctors, nurses, and wounded were as red as butchers. , the screams were deafening, the ward was full of wounded, with severed limbs and pools of blood everywhere, the doctors and nurses were so busy that they almost collapsed, the corridors and yards were full of wounded, and there were dying people lying here and there under the shade of the trees. The gates were crowded, and more wounded were being brought in. Most of the wounded were burnt or bombed. The wounded, doctors and nurses directly operated on the operating table, hospital bed, and desk. The hysterical screams and grief-stricken cries rang out. A sign is made on the forehead of the wounded, with "c" indicating that there is hope for rescue, "f" indicating that it is hopeless, and "m" indicating that morphine has been injected. This is because there is no room for the wounded in the hospital. Those who have no hope can only inject morphine outside and wait to die under anesthesia. In addition, there are many people queuing up to donate blood. Because the bottles are seriously insufficient, beer bottles washed with alcohol are used as blood bottles.

Compared with the land, the water surface in Pearl Harbor is more messy and chaotic, because the US fleet in Pearl Harbor is the first attack target of the Japanese army, and it is also the key attack target of the Japanese army. Most of the torpedoes and bombs were thrown into Pearl Harbor. , making this military port completely turned into a dump of scrap iron at sea and a grave of warships.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army saw the wreckage of seven large warships at first glance. They were seven US battleships. Afterwards, as a result of the explosion inside the warship, some of the overall structure was still intact, but the superstructure was blown to pieces, the bridge collapsed, the gun turret was blown up or blown away, and the thick main gun was like a twist Distorted and deformed, all kinds of mechanical equipment have become scrap iron garbage that cannot be seen from the original appearance, and some of them have little damage on the surface, but the side of the warship is fragmented, which is the result of being hit by a Japanese torpedo. The torpedoes exploded into shockingly large holes, and the cracks of branches and branches radiated around the big holes. The seawater rushed in and completely submerged the bilge of the warship, making the center of gravity of the warship unbalanced. The belly of the fish turned upside down, or the stern of the ship was raised high, exposing the huge propeller. In the entire Pearl Harbor, not only the seven battleships, but twenty or thirty or more warships were also attacked by Japanese planes. , are eye-catching large warships.

Compared with battleships, these large warships were obviously hit less hard, but the defense of these large warships was not as good as that of battleships, so even though they suffered less torpedo bombs than battleships, they almost turned into piles of waste. Iron, some were broken by bombs, some were completely sunk by torpedoes, some were paralyzed, some capsized, and some disintegrated.

Looking at Pearl Harbor, there are destroyed warships that have turned into steel wreckage, burning fiercely and emitting thick smoke. They are here and there, and there are bursts of explosions from time to time. It should be the ammunition depot in the warship or The oil depot was detonated by the fire, and the water surface was covered with fuel oil, garbage, warship fragments, corpses, etc. The flames ran around along the water surface along with the fuel oil. Blood flowed and corpses were scattered on the destroyed warships. Survivors jumped into In the sea, struggling to swim to the shore or to the lifeboat, the surface of the water is full of floating dead and living people like rice porridge, and the voices of distress, calls, and cries in English rang out together.

In the port, the warships that can still be moved are desperately moving, some want to escape from Pearl Harbor, and some are trying to rescue those who fell into the water and the victims. Hundreds of small boats are constantly flowing between the large ships. Every boat was packed with survivors or packed with victims.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a tragedy!" Dong Xianrui shook his head. He didn't have any sympathy for the Americans. He just regretted that those American warships were so badly bombed by the damn little Japan. It would definitely take a lot of trouble to repair them in the future.

After raising his submachine gun, Dong Xianrui ordered in a loud voice: "Brothers, occupy Pearl Harbor!"

Chapter 629 Fierce Battle in Hawaii (2)

"Those who surrender will not die!"

"Shoot and kill those who resist!"

"We will provide humanitarian treatment to those who surrender and those who are captured!"

Amidst the voices of English shouts and the roar of German submachine guns, the 50th Brigade of the Nanjing Army, which rushed to Pearl Harbor, launched a battle with the goal of fully controlling the port. Translation, and more and more American soldiers who became prisoners of the Nanjing Army.

It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been more than eight hours since Japanese planes dropped bombs and launched torpedoes over Pearl Harbor. Most Americans in Hawaii had come to their senses and knew that it was the Japanese army that attacked them. The Americans did not know that it was actually Chinese soldiers who landed on Oahu and were attacking and killing them. After all, in the eyes of the Americans, the Chinese and the Japanese looked similar. I don’t know the difference between Americans and Germans. They are all European and American Caucasians anyway. Therefore, the American soldiers who encountered the Nanjing Army and the local residents took it for granted that these eastern soldiers with yellow skin, black eyes, and black hair were “damn Japanese soldiers.” Devils", in fact, the Nanjing Army did not deliberately identify themselves in this battle, coupled with the language barrier, so most officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army did not know that they were regarded as Japanese soldiers by the Americans.

The 50th Brigade of the Nanjing Army and the 1st Marine Brigade of the Navy, who landed on Oahu Island, rushed to various predetermined targets in batches with the cooperation of the fleet: airports, barracks, warehouses, air defense positions, commanding heights, and transportation stations. Among them, Pearl The urban area of ​​Honolulu by the port, the U.S. heavy oil storage base in the mountains near Pearl Harbor (storing up to 450 million tons of heavy oil), and Pearl Harbor itself are the three most important targets.

After the 50th Brigade launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, the area around the port was full of officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army running fast, brandishing weapons. Some of the teams belonged to the coast guard, some were pilots, some were sailors, and some were air defense forces. The organization and order were completely in chaos, and there was a hail of bullets everywhere. To aid the Nanjing Army (the ground troops of the Nanjing Army and the Japanese pilots cannot communicate by radio), but to observe the ground engagement situation, or search for US military targets with strike value.

Faced with the menacing Nanjing Army, most of the U.S. troops were dumbfounded and at a loss, because they subconsciously believed that "the Japanese devils are in the sky." Create a sense of unreality.

Some U.S. troops panicked to resist and fought fiercely with the Nanjing Army.

In the rain of bullets like lightning migrating locusts, the Nanjing Army, which is completely a "battlefield veteran", beat these completely "battlefield novice" U.S. troops to no avail. .

"Just kidding! Lao Tzu's brothers were all killed from the dead, and they all killed people with real swords and guns. How can you recruits who have never seen blood on the battlefield be their opponents?" Dong Xianrui watched with pride as his brothers chased and killed the U.S. troops on land around Pearl Harbor like wolves into sheep.

During the battle, the Nanjing Army's tactics were sophisticated. When launching a frontal attack, the troops on both wings made a detour at the same time, piercing behind the U.S. troops. Raising hands and surrendering made the Nanjing army continuously capture a large number of prisoners.

In the one-sided battle, batch after batch of U.S. troops were turned into corpses, wounded soldiers, and prisoners by the Nanjing Army, and land areas around Pearl Harbor were captured one after another.

"Surrenders who are not injured, hand over your weapons, and then go to our designated place. We will provide humanitarian treatment, but you must not resist, and any act of resistance will be shot to death! The injured go to the hospital for treatment, and the hospital is already in our hospital. It is under control, but we will not interfere with the hospital's treatment of the wounded; in addition, under our arrangement, you can go to collect the bodies of the victims, carry the injured, salvage those who fell into the water and the dead in the water, rescue supplies, put out fires, and clean up and other activities.

We will not kill, abuse, or humiliate you, but you should also not act irrationally and seek your own death!" The translation officers of the Nanjing Army explained to the American prisoners with serious expressions, "Are you all clear?"

"Yes! Yes!" The prisoners nodded repeatedly.

In the area captured and controlled by the Nanjing Army, the aftermath activities were carried out in an orderly manner.

Batch after batch of uninjured U.S. prisoners were detained in an open space with a wide view. The soldiers of the Nanjing Army who were in charge of guarding them watched them vigilantly with guns. They just confiscated their weapons. If any captive tried to escape or resist, the first shot would be shot in the leg, and the second shot would be shot in the head.

In fact, the U.S. soldiers who became captives did not show any shame or remorse. Most of them went with the situation, or looked at the Nanjing Army anxiously, fearing that the Nanjing Army would backtrack, or sat on the ground exhausted, smoking and chatting, or used numb and dazed expressions. Staring at Pearl Harbor, which suffered unprecedented blows and losses, and the devastated Pacific Fleet inside; many of the U.S. prisoners went to participate in rescue activities on a voluntary basis at the request of the Nanjing Army. Dead or floating on the water in the harbor dying.

The Nanjing Army did not treat the U.S. captives viciously, but also allowed and organized U.S. captives to search and rescue U.S. wounded soldiers and those who fell into the water, and collect dead U.S. corpses. All these measures made the U.S. captives further believe that "these Japanese are indeed humanitarian." , so that there is no will to resist.

The Nanking Army fought smoothly on land around Pearl Harbor, but was powerless against targets and threats at sea.

When being attacked by the Japanese army, the U.S. military had more than 70 large and small warships and ships in Pearl Harbor (excluding those small tonnage boats). The explosion left seven or eight broken, and a few destroyers and other small and medium-sized ships were damaged and injured. Therefore, after the Japanese air raid ended, there were still three or four American cruisers and almost twenty destroyers in Pearl Harbor that were intact or basically intact. At that time, about one-third of these warships that were still able to start and fight had already broken out of Pearl Harbor, and about two-thirds were still in Pearl Harbor.

Pearl Harbor has a "big belly and a small mouth", and there is only one dredged waterway with a depth of less than 14 meters (the wooden fin torpedo of the Japanese army was specially invented for this waterway) to enter and leave the port. The warships came in and out, because two of the seven U.S. battleships that were sunk just blocked more than half of the waterway, so that the destroyers could barely get in and out, and the cruisers could not go in and out, so not all the intact U.S. warships escaped, and half of the destroyers rushed After leaving Pearl Harbor, the other half of the destroyers and all the cruisers were still in Pearl Harbor. These warships were preparing for the battle while rescuing those who fell into the water.

After the 50th Brigade of the Nanjing Army launched an attack on the land area around Pearl Harbor, the U.S. warships in the port also participated in the battle after recovering, bombarding the Nanjing Army on land with naval artillery.

In the chaos, a battalion of the 50st Regiment of the 771th Brigade was hit by a main ship gun shell from a US light cruiser. In an instant, the whole battalion was blown to pieces, and more than 250 people including the battalion commander died. Officers and soldiers, this is the single attack by the U.S. Army with the heaviest casualties suffered by the Nanjing Army on Oahu Island.

Fortunately, the Nanjing Army on the shore mixed with the U.S. troops, U.S. captives, and local residents. The U.S. warships were afraid of accidentally injuring their own personnel, so they did not dare to use naval guns to bombard them. Otherwise, the U.S. warships still fighting in Pearl Harbor at this time would continue to The salvo of guns from the ground and naval ships was enough to blow up the 50th Brigade of the Nanjing Army into minced meat.

"Damn it!" Dong Xianrui was very annoyed. He looked at these American warships circling on the water in the harbor in front of him with hatred. The other party was clearly a turtle in the urn and was very close to him, but he couldn't do anything about it. The other party even has to bear the huge threat brought by the other party.

"Sir, do you want the Japanese to blow up and sink these hateful US warships?" Dong Xianrui suggested to the division chief of staff Sheng Wen who came after hearing the news.

Sheng Wen scolded: "Stupid! Our navy urgently needs warships. Wouldn't it be a great thing if we could capture these warships? It would be a pity to let the Japanese bomb and sink them!"

Dong Xianrui said helplessly: "How can we capture them?"

Sheng Wen said: "As long as their commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet gives them an order to surrender!"

At this time, Admiral Husband Kimmel was in his office. He refused to meet any of his subordinates and locked himself in the office alone.

When the Japanese fleet appeared over Hawaii, Admiral Kimmel was extremely shocked and extremely unbelievable. When the Japanese fleet slaughtered his fleet, his mood was pierced by thousands of arrows. As well as utter pain and despair, he knew that the Pacific Fleet had suffered unprecedented heavy damage and losses, a large number of warships were smashed into the sand and destroyed, and thousands of his subordinates died because of this. As a result, military strength, strategic dominance, and dominance of the situation fell to the bottom. In addition, his own future, honor, and reputation were all over, all wiped out with the biggest defeat in the history of the US Navy.

After the pain and despair, Admiral Kimmel had lost all hope.

Admiral Kimmel was sitting behind his desk, with a stiff expression, numb expression, dull eyes, and motionless, like a wooden sculpture of clay. He held a loaded pistol in his right hand, as if he was waiting for something.

Not long after, noisy and chaotic sounds began to come from outside the door, including heavy footsteps, English panic shouts, various firearms firing, English screams, and a kind of sound that Admiral Kimmel felt The roar of an oriental language with a very strange tone (Admiral Kimmel couldn't distinguish between Japanese and Chinese), the voice was getting closer and closer outside the door, and finally gradually stopped at the door of the office.

In the silence, Admiral Kimmel raised his head and looked at the door of the office calmly and emptily.

The door of the room was kicked open with a "bang", and two soldiers of the Nanjing Army came in cautiously with submachine guns in hand. They first scanned the room to make sure that Admiral Kimmel was the only one in the room, and pointed their guns vigilantly. Following Admiral Kimmel, an officer who smelled of gunpowder smoke and blood strode in, and it was Tang Renbin who led the team.

"General!" Tang Renbin looked at the sitting general Kimmel with sympathetic eyes, "Please surrender!"

Admiral Kimmel glanced at Tang Renbin expressionlessly, put the muzzle of the pistol to his temple without saying a word, and pulled the trigger.

Tang Renbin didn't have time to stop him, and watched as Admiral Kimmel's head exploded, his brains splashed, and then he fell down.

Admiral Kimmel is not a mediocre person. He has made great achievements in the development of the surface fleet. or superiors to communicate.

Being a prisoner is unacceptable to the fierce General Kimmel. He knows that he has made an irreparable mistake. If he is still obediently captured by the enemy under such circumstances, his reputation will be completely destroyed There was no cure, so he chose to commit suicide.

Looking at the body of Admiral Kimmel lying on the ground, Tang Renbin was very annoyed and depressed. It was a great contribution to capture the commander-in-chief of the US Navy's Pacific Fleet alive, but the cooked duck just flew away, not to mention that Jiang Weiguo had already confessed , capture more US prisoners, the more the better, the higher the "grade" the better, so that the US government can be severely blackmailed (at this time there are still millions of Chinese and overseas Chinese in the US, Jiang Weiguo intends to use US prisoners , U.S. civilian captives exchange overseas Chinese with the U.S. government, so as to prevent overseas Chinese from being persecuted in the U.S.), if Admiral Kimmel can be captured alive, he will definitely be able to exchange a lot of things with the U.S. government, but unfortunately, this idea has turned into In vain, a dead body is definitely not worth more than a living person.

Although Admiral Kimmel committed suicide, Lieutenant General Walter Short, Commander of the U.S. Army Forces in Hawaii, and Ingram Steinback, the U.S. Governor of Hawaii, who were still playing golf with him this morning, passed away unscathed. Army prisoners.

When Lieutenant General Short and Governor Steinback surrendered to the Nanjing Army, they begged: "I hope you will abide by the international law of war and treat the surrendered officers and soldiers of our army and the American citizens on the island with a humanitarian spirit!"

Fang Xianjue, who accepted the surrender of Lieutenant General Short and Governor Steinbuck, said solemnly: "Please rest assured that we are a civilized army, and it is absolutely impossible to massacre or abuse captives, let alone mutilate and loot civilians, but only if you No act of resistance is allowed!"

Both Lieutenant General Short and Governor Steinback pledged that no revolt would be organized.

Lieutenant General Short then issued a surrender order to the US Army officers and soldiers in Hawaii, but the Pacific Fleet is not under his jurisdiction, so he has no right to issue a surrender order to the remaining US warships.

Upon learning of this, Sheng Wen became very anxious. He looked at the U.S. warships still fighting in the harbor, and made up his mind: "Get me a lifeboat!"

Dong Xianrui said in surprise: "Seat, what do you want to do?"

Sheng Wen looked serious: "Persuade to surrender!"

Dong Xianrui was taken aback: "Sit here, it's too dangerous!"

Sheng Wen said firmly: "First, we have no other choice; second, we are running out of time, the Japanese have already landed on the other seven Hawaiian islands, if we don't swallow what we can, the Japanese will come Third, don't worry, I'm safe, Yankees are not as cruel and barbaric as little Japanese or old Maozi, they won't hurt me, besides, we still have so many American prisoners in our hands, if they dare to hurt Am I not afraid of our revenge?"

As Sheng Wen said, the Nanjing Army has no other choice. The ground artillery of the Nanjing Army cannot deal with the U.S. warships. U.S. warships, otherwise, let the Japanese "help" solve it with bombs and torpedoes; snatching is also not feasible. It is daytime, and the Nanjing Army will be attacked by the other side no matter whether they swim or take the captured U.S. ships. To resist, therefore, the only way is to persuade them to surrender.

Dong Xianrui had no choice but to express his agreement anxiously: "Sit, be careful!"

Sheng Wen nodded. He called a few American captives and asked them to drive a U.S. lifeboat captured by the Nanjing Army into Pearl Harbor and head for the nearest heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis. The 12800-ton warship is basically intact. The nine 9mm main ship guns on the ship are strictly pointed at the nearby land, and they will burst into flames at any time, blowing a large number of Nanjing troops into ashes.

Sheng Wen's lifeboat was flying a white flag. After approaching, the American soldiers on the USS Indianapolis did not fire, but lowered a gangway, allowing Sheng Wen to board it smoothly.

Immediately after boarding the USS Indianapolis, Sheng Wen was pointed at by dozens of guns of various models. All of them were ashamed, and all of them were covered with gunpowder smoke and dirt.

"I'm a military envoy, I request your captain to meet me!" Sheng Wen said calmly.

A burly US Navy lieutenant colonel with a tired face came over: "I am Captain Charles McVeigh!"

Sheng Wen nodded: "Mr. Captain, the current situation is very clear, you have been trapped in the port with nowhere to go, our fleet is cruising outside the port, blocking your way out, and we have With air supremacy, as long as we are willing, our warships and carrier-based aircraft can immediately and completely destroy you.

Now, you have only two choices, one is to continue to resist, and then wait for our planes to bomb and torpedo your warship and everyone on the warship to pieces, the other is to give up resistance and surrender to us, you and Your subordinates will receive humanitarian treatment, and we make the above promise to you with military honor!"

McVeigh sneered: "Is there any honor for the army who did such a despicable and shameless thing as a sneak attack?"

Sheng Wen laughed: "Mr. Captain, you may not know that the fleet on the sea outside and the planes in the sky are all Japanese, but we who landed on Oahu Island are not Japanese, we are Chinese.

Please don't confuse us with the Japanese!"

McVeigh was taken aback, he felt completely unable to turn his head: "What? You are... Chinese? The Japanese who attacked us are the Japanese? What is going on? What tricks are you playing? Are you Japanese or Chinese? ?”

Sheng Wen smiled: "It sounds a bit complicated, but I can explain it slowly.

However, time is tight and there is not much time to waste.

Mr. Captain, I have made it very clear that you have only two choices.

Please think carefully about your subordinates!They can live, you don't have to let them die here with you and this warship, they are still young!When they become our captives, and there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese in the United States, our government will exchange personnel with the US government, and they can go home safely.

In addition, this warship could have been our spoils of war intact, but if you insist on resisting stubbornly and force us to destroy it, then your actions have caused us great damage objectively. loss of property, for which we regretfully have to retaliate, in order to prevent other US Navy captains from doing the same thing, our retaliation will not be to your wounded men, nor to your captured Humane treatment by your subordinates, they will be abused, tortured, executed, but please don't blame us, because this is a disaster you have brought to them!"

McVeigh could hear Sheng Wen threatening him. He was furious, but at the same time his heart was touched. He looked at the subordinates around him, looking at the young faces full of fear. He really couldn't bear to let his subordinates all He died here, so he sighed long, with tears in his eyes, and said in a sad voice: "Okay, I give up resistance, and the USS Indianapolis surrenders to you!"

Sheng Wen smiled knowingly: "Mr. Captain, don't worry, we will keep our word.

In fact, you should be glad that we captured you and not the Japanese!"

After lobbying to persuade them to surrender, about two-thirds of the US warships trapped in Pearl Harbor chose to surrender, and another third refused to surrender.
