Chapter 948: Blowing the Funeral Song
Arrived at the Valley of Happiness, the soldiers from the northwest had 3 days of rest, while the original reconnaissance company was concentrated, through reconnaissance, the 117th Wing was near the Yushan Mountains in Nantou, and they needed to take the initiative to introduce the other party into the mountains.
In fact, at this time, Okazaki also received the upper hand, his actions were too much, although after the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, the Japanese high-level did not take Taiwan's Chinese very seriously, just as a tool for bullying and oppression, but millions of manpower, still cannot be ignored, Taiwan has a large number of precious wood, some gold, silver and gem mines, these things, must be mined by manpower, people are killed, is it difficult to let the soldiers to mine.
On the Wufeng side, it is the place where the Wufeng Army started, and it is normal to burn, kill and loot, but if it involves Nantou, and even makes the entire central Taiwan panic, it will be a bit too much, according to the Minister of General Affairs, Changhua, Yunlin and Nantou, plus those who ran into the mountains and forcibly crossed the sea, at least one million people fled, and if this sign spreads to Tainan and Taichung, it will be really troublesome.
Even if Okazaki's hands were bloody, he didn't dare to disobey the order of the upper hand, not to mention that the remaining 4 wings had already been stationed in Wufeng and Nantou, and he couldn't go backwards, he could only move forward.
Liu Ye didn't know anything about these situations, the Northwest Intelligence Agency, perhaps in China, in the whole of Europe, or even in the Americas, had a certain foundation, with the help of the previous arrangement and a large amount of funds, there were certain intelligence channels, but in Japan, they could only rely on the channels of the Lin family.
Since the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, Japan has become the master of Taiwan, everything has begun to be dominated by Japan, and the Chinese's voice and influence can only be at the bottom, in this case, unless a few Japanese are developed as intelligence officers. Otherwise, it is basically impossible to know the situation in Taiwan, and the northwest has Japanese intelligence officers, but compared with the more important Japanese mainland, Taiwan is still not important, that is, after the Taiwan strategy is opened. In order to avoid the exposure of intelligence personnel, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to come to Taiwan, which creates a vacuum, what Liu Ye can do is to rely on the channels of the Lin family. Knowing some low-level, superficial information, or aggregated information seen by intelligence officers and investigators, can only know what is on the surface, and it is almost impossible to know the deep, which also makes the formulation of the battle plan have a lot of uncertainty.
Liu Ye didn't know. Okazaki was already preparing to go deep into the mountains to look for them, and instead sent out a reconnaissance company. Taking advantage of the night, near the mountainous area, the 117th Wing was attacked, because the defense of this wing was relatively tight, and the reconnaissance company only stopped at a superficial level and kept in a state of contact. Led the other party into the mountains.
Okazaki plunged headlong into the mountains, and although for three or four days, he was only active on the periphery of the mountains, but even if the investigators were not attracted, he did not leave the mountains. The determination was very strong, which made Liu Ye feel a little relieved, and his eyes fell on the battle plan again, the staff officers spent a few years to formulate 5 plans, and he had to choose one from the middle.
Among them, Liu Ye has PASSED 2, and there are three, each with its own advantages and strategies, unable to choose, at this time, the staff officers sent Liu Ye another intelligence, which is also the intelligence that Liu Ye has been urging, basically the Lin family's channels, the intelligence personnel and special forces scattered in the northwest The purpose of reconnaissance is this, through calculation and summary, I understand that the total number of troops used by Japan has reached an astonishing 60,000 people, which is about the same as the number of personnel who originally entered the Valley of Happiness, almost the entire Taiwan, The troops and armed forces that can be mobilized have been obtained, and some large cities have even been emptied.
At this time, if you can annihilate the Japanese army that has entered the mountain, and Nantou, and Wufeng, the whole Taiwan will be completely empty, and the victory or defeat will be decided in this war, but it is almost impossible, the Japanese seem to be very cautious, and did not put all their forces into the mountain, at present, the regular army into the mountain has only one wing, 117 wings, and the rest are Xi'an troops, adding up to almost 20,000 people, and the rest are stationed in Nantou and Wufeng, which are the size of 2 wings, plus the second-line troops, That's almost 20,000 people.
Among the last three plans, the first is to wait, to the strength of the strong, before launching an attack, of course, to use this part of the force, directly attack the 117th Wing, in the case of preserving itself, to inflict heavy losses on the 117th Wing, and strive to annihilate 50% of his troops.
This plan is the safest, and it is also the deduced by the staff officers, the smallest one in the ratio of enemy to enemy losses, the annihilation of about 2,000 people in the 117th Wing, and their own losses will not exceed 50.
The reason for Liu Ye's hesitation lies in the uncertainty, if the commander of the other party is a decisive type, maybe in the case of losing most of the brigade, the other party forcibly disengages, and with the help of the other two second-line brigades, he will escape, in this way, the total number of enemies destroyed will not change much, and the plan of consuming half of the 117 brigade will come to naught.
It was the arrival of this piece of information that made Liu Ye decide to use the No. 4 plan, a plan that could completely annihilate the 117th Wing, or even most of the other auxiliary brigades, but to complete it, it not only required the cooperation of luck, but also the spirit of fearless sacrifice.
With the current power controlled by Liu Ye, he may be able to deal with the enemy in the mountain, but if the other party does not enter the mountain, if he is outside, the other party who shrinks into a hedgehog will not be able to gnaw down in the northwest, and Liu Ye has no plan to solve Japan in one fell swoop, in a sense, it is unrealistic, it has only been more than a month, and the northwest has shipped up almost 1300 people, step by step, if there are more, it will naturally be possible to start with Taiwan, and it will only take three or four months to work around the left and right, and it should be the best to wait, but unfortunately now, Immediately following the reconnaissance company into the Central Mountains was the 117th Wing.
For the 117th Wing, Liu Ye is absolutely hated, the massacre of the entire Wufeng, and even the subsequent Nantou massacre, the executioner of the blood of tens of thousands of Chinese, originally, with Liu Ye's strength, there is no way to deal with him alone, 1000 well-trained Northwest Army soldiers, in any environment, are at least equivalent to more than 2 times that of other regular armies, so is Russia, so is Japan, Liu Ye briefly touched his head with the reinforcements, and when the reconnaissance company attacked, let 1000 soldiers rest, Senior officers and staff officers were called together to study the No. 4 battle plan.
Just arrived in Taiwan, without even any stop, they entered the Valley of Happiness, for the current situation in Taiwan is still confused by the people, listening to Liu Ye's narration from beginning to end, slightly surprised, there are less than 2,000 people, only 1,500 people can be used, and they are actually ambitious to annihilate a full formation of 3,800 people, and the most important thing is that there are 14,000 armed forces around this wing.
The intelligence says that the armed forces are only Japan's second-line troops, so there is nothing to worry about, but no matter how you say it, it is also a team of more than 10,000 armed men and tens of thousands of guns, and has organizational capabilities, can these be ignored?
Fortunately, Liu Ye's plan is quite perfect, in addition to explaining the whole process and the advantages and disadvantages clearly, all the members who come are members of the Northwest Field Army, even if the Northwest is now expanded to 2 million, but every soldier and officer of the Field Army has finally come out after strict training, they have at least judgment, as far as the current situation is concerned, according to Liu Ye's plan, after the implementation, the possibility of success is very high.
Operation, it is impossible to be a successful package, that direct plan, to soldiers, what to do with officers, there is a certain advantage, almost sixty or seventy percent, this battle plan can be implemented, the only thing that cannot be reduced is the casualty rate, the chance of victory in this battle is very great, the probability of the 117th Wing is also more than 75%, but the casualty rate can not be completely controlled, it may cause up to 30% casualties, which is unacceptable to all officers, they are all soldiers under their hands, years of training robes, so many casualties, Emotions can't be accepted, let alone evaluated from above.
A company commander directly pointed out this point, and specifically pointed out that if they can wait, the transport submarine will come again in half a month, at most 20 days, even if there are 1,000 more people, they will not hesitate to implement this plan, and the number of personnel that can be used will reach 3,500, or even more, and the casualty rate will be greatly reduced if it is on the same level as the other side.
"If it were any other Japanese wing, maybe I would have considered Plan 2, but he was 117!" Liu Ye almost held back his monstrous anger, and retold what the 117th Wing did in the whole of Taiwan, without any emotion, and after telling it fairly and objectively, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
A few years ago, almost all the officers here were poor, coming from the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, and the humiliation that used to exist because of the emergence of the northwest, but now, in this island country that was once Chinese territory, the people are suffering such oppression, and the blood of more than 10,000 compatriots is afraid to spread to the whole of Taiwan, and the 117 Wing, which has a lot of blood debts, is a guy who must not let go.
All officers will do a good job of pacifying and educating the soldiers, and the target is this 117 Wing, and they will cooperate with Liu Ye and use their best efforts to completely bury this wing stained with Chinese blood. (To be continued......)
