Chapter 882
The Xuebing Army suddenly sent troops to Taiwan, and formed the Taiwan Corps, successfully established a foothold in Tainan and took root, which caught the Japanese by surprise.But when the Japanese reacted and began to attack Taiwan Island to increase their troops, they were a little powerless.

The timing of sending troops to Taiwan was well grasped. No one thought that the Xuebing Army would send out elite troops to raid Taiwan when it launched the Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi campaigns.At this time, Taiwan, under the control of Taiwan's new governor Kobayashi Chinzao, has just begun to promote the removal of Chinese names and de-Sinicization.Don't underestimate the superficial articles made by Kobayashi. In fact, the reason why Taiwan has always been particularly docile during World War II is because of the slavery behavior adopted by the Japanese colonial government.

The student army came a year late, or even a few months, and the plan made by Kobayashi might have been completed.It is really hard to say how many Taiwanese who have changed their names cherish the motherland and regard themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang.

After the Taiwan Corps arrived in Tainan from Ryukyu Island, it immediately began to expand.Under the command of Jiang Dahe, Jiang Chuanjun, Zhang Zhiyong and others, with the help of the Zuo family and the Song family.The Taiwan Corps expanded rapidly, almost sweeping across Tainan like a prairie fire.When Kobayashi Jizao went to "suppress the bandits" in the Taiwan brigade and was hit hard immediately, the old devil realized that this was not a small mess of locals, but a student army across the sea who came to kill him .

The Japanese army immediately began to recruit reserve soldiers in the mainland to form a Taiwan division.At the beginning of May, two divisions of devils went to Taiwan, and then under the command of Kobayashi Chizo, they began to attack the base of the Taiwan Corps.At the same time, the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy began to block the Taiwan Strait, not only blocking the sea route, but also blocking the airspace.

The appearance of the Taiwan Corps made Xiao Lin Zhizao very embarrassed and a little scared at first.As the battle situation began to stabilize, the Taiwan Corps began to be forced to turn to defense. The old devil's self-confidence swelled, and he asserted in a telegram to Yamamoto 56: "As long as the Imperial Navy can block the Taiwan Strait, the Taiwan Corps of the Academy Army will lose support. Under the circumstances, I can’t last for a month. Your Excellency, if there is still a student on Taiwan Island after a month, I will commit suicide and apologize.”

If there is one person who has achieved the "Sink It" action of the Xuebing Army, it is Yamamoto 56.After the "Akagi" and "Hiryu" aircraft carriers were bombed and sunk, Minai Mitsumasa was forced to take the blame and resign, and the only condition for him to agree to resign as Minister of the Navy was that he must retain Narumi Inoue's post, and the only person who could take over his post was It is 56 Yamamoto.As a result, Inoue Narumi failed to keep it, and Yamamoto 56 not only became the Minister of the Navy, but also served as the commander of the combined fleet.

Since the "Sink It" incident, Yamamoto has become more rational in his views on some things.He disagreed with Kobayashi's blind optimism, and said in his reply: "The Xuebing Army is not an ordinary Chinese army. Taiwan's losses are minimized..."

Kobayashi Chizao couldn't listen at all.Although he suffered a loss in the first round of the attack without contact with the Xuebing Army, he blamed the Taiwan brigade for not participating in the war for too long, and the soldiers lacked actual combat experience, so they were caught by the Chinese. I took a bite.This time, the two divisions that were ordered to enter Taiwan recruited veterans with rich combat experience. Kobayashi believes that under his wise leadership, the 6 imperial army will definitely be able to fight in a relatively short period of time. In the future, the criminal Xuebing army will be wiped out.

Kobayashi said to Matsushita Kihide, the military attache of the Governor's Office: "Your Excellency Yamamoto seems to have been discouraged by the Chinese people. What is there to fear from the Chinese people? When we were fighting to the death with the huge polar bear at sea with artillery, They are still wielding iron swords and wooden guns. Panasonic, I will give you a regiment for this encirclement, so don’t embarrass me.”

"Hayi, Your Excellency Governor, please rest assured that I will not let you down."

The Japanese army suffered losses in Kaohsiung, but learned a lot of wisdom. Considering that the Xuebing Army had established a complete military and political system in Tainan, Kobayashi placed the first battle of this offensive in Nantou.

The Japanese came fiercely. A brigade marched along the east coast from Yilan to Hualien County. At the same time, three brigades set off from Taipei on transport ships and marched directly to Dacheng and rural areas.On the western front, the Japanese Suzuki Brigade was divided into three groups, all the way to Changhua, another group launched an attack from Taichung to Ren'ai Township, and another group of troops launched an attack from Taichung to Dali.

In Nantou County, with the frequent appearance of Japanese reconnaissance planes, the atmosphere gradually became tense.Some people began to flee in full dress, but the direction of their escape was quite difficult to think about. Most of them fled to the north, and only a small part fled to the south.

Nantou Western Suburbs Barracks.This used to be the garrison of the Japanese army. After being captured by the 101st Division of the Taiwan Corps of the Xuebing Army, it became the garrison of the 101st Division.Around the barracks, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were everywhere. At the same time, teams of infantrymen ran in and out carrying various firearms, giving people the illusion that they did not know how many soldiers were stationed here.

In the basement of the only two-story building in the barracks, the headquarters of the 101st Division is located here. At this time, Zhang Zhengyong was having a pre-war meeting with several regiment leaders around a map.

"It seems that Nantou can't be defended, and there is no need to defend it. However, if the link of not letting go is given to the little devil, it will definitely affect the morale of the people behind, so the headquarters means to fight a big fight , but the casualties must be controlled," Zhang Zhengyong said while pointing his finger at Caotun Township.There was a big fight and casualties had to be controlled. This battle had a high technical content. The four regiment leaders under the 101st Division looked at the map and were silent.

Among the four group leaders, the only Taiwanese native was Xie Changan, who was a fisherman a few months ago.The third father and son of the Xie family were the fishermen's family who saved Chen Long. Although this Xie Chang'an was usually taciturn, his determination and courage to fight against Japan were much stronger than his younger brother who was nagging all day long and who didn't know how good he was on the outside.In just three months, he has grown from a recruit to a regiment commander, which shows Xie Changan's military talent.

"My idea is this. Although a big fight alone can deceive the common people, it has no practical significance at all. Therefore, we have to give the little devil some ruthlessness. Now the little devil's reconnaissance machine is running very frequently. , they must have seen the current movement of our army. Let's do the opposite. They thought we were going to retreat to the south, but we went to the north. Now, I need a regiment to act as a bait, that is, a superficial sniper Troops, who is willing to take on this most dangerous task?" Zhang Zhengyong finished speaking and looked up at the crowd.

Hua Minjun, the leader of the first regiment, immediately stood up and said, "Master, leave this task to our regiment."

Hua Minjun is eager to make meritorious service.Hua Minjun was the head of the regiment before he came to Taiwan. However, because he committed a capital crime for molesting a woman not long after arriving in Taiwan, although he was saved from death under the explanation of the local elders, he was also recorded as a major demerit He was downgraded three levels in a row, which led to him still being the head of the regiment today.

Lin Xiaoyu, the head of the second regiment, was only a company commander under Hua Minjun three months ago. He also stood up at this time and said: "Master, let our regiment stay and attack. The combat effectiveness of the first regiment is the strongest in the whole division." Strong, they are indispensable in an ambush."

Lin Xiaoyu, both public and private, would not stand up and fight for this task, and once he spoke up, Zhang Yishu, the leader of the third regiment, and Xie Changan, the leader of the fourth regiment, also stood up and unanimously demanded that our regiment take on this task .

In fact, Zhang Zhengyong already had a favorite target in his heart, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down, let the Fourth Regiment take on this task." He looked at Xie Chang'an and said, "Chang'an, your regiment has more local soldiers. Let me make a request, as long as you feel that you can't bear it, I allow the soldiers to freely choose the way to escape. But you should pay attention to one thing, if some people really want to take the opportunity to leave the army, the equipment must be kept. You know Do I mean?"

Xie Chang'an just felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, there was something in the teacher's words, obviously he didn't believe Situan.And he chewed carefully, and immediately figured it out.He said: "Master, are you afraid that our defeat is not miserable enough? Don't worry, I promise to complete the task, and after the battle, I will try my best to bring everyone back."

"Very good. Lao Hua, this time the main force of the ambush is still your group. Your ambush is here. Your mission is a bit heavy. I thought that once the ambush turned into a sniper war, you would be responsible for ensuring the safety of the entire army. Retreat—can it be done?"

Hua Minjun stood up, stood at attention and saluted loudly, "Master, I promise to complete the task."

"Xiao Yu, you are in charge of the first round of ambushes. I don't ask you to wipe out too many devils in this round of ambushes, but there is one thing, you Yao fight hard and fast, and you must kill the little devils in the shortest time. Retreat in this direction as quickly as possible."

Zhang Zhengyong's tactics have been arranged here, and his combat intention has been revealed.Of course Lin Xiaoyu had no objection, he said: "Understood, beat them hard, teach the little devils a painful lesson, beat out their hatred, and then run away quickly to lead them to the next ambush point."

"Yes, the next thing is a bunch of things. One bunch, I don't have any special requirements for you, just do what you usually do in training, but don't drag your feet. Once you find that you can't hold it, evacuate immediately."
