Chapter 925: Choose One of the Two

The rough and simple map, partly relying on the impression of the locals, is replaced by the military map dialogue of the Northwest Army, which is absolutely not up to standard, but now it has just arrived in Taiwan, and it can only be used improvised, even the general topographic map of Taiwan is not clear, let alone the detailed map of villages and towns.

The map is simple and improvised, but there are a lot of things recorded in the map, many things are explored by special forces, and combined with the rudimentary map, it can barely be used for combat.

In this sketch map, in addition to the situation of the two sides, the location of Nantou County is exactly in the center, the enemy has a wing of 3,800 people, removing a brigade of almost 1,100 people, and there are two brigades and a wing headquarters, they are divided into two directions, one facing the northeast and the other facing the northwest, all of which are in the denser mountains and forests of Nantou County.

Yushan, stretching for more than 300 kilometers, stands in the middle of Taiwan, the highest main peak is as high as 3952 meters, not only the highest peak in Taiwan, but also the highest peak in the entire east, different from the Bagua Mountain is only a few tens of meters high, it can be said that it is a real deep mountain old forest, the forest is deep and dense, and the animal and plant resources are extremely rich.

In the vicinity of Nantou County, it is only a part of Yushan, but not to mention a wing, even if it is a few divisions and regiments, scattered into the mountains and forests, it will disappear in an instant, and the dense woodland that cannot be seen at a glance is enough to cover everything, no matter how bold this wing is. I didn't dare to put all my troops in the deep mountains and old forests.

Liu Ye et al. If you want to continue attacking, the best option is to take it all two. After careful consideration, for them, they can only deal with one of them, which is different from the sneak attack war in the county town, this is a field battle, there is no barrier of the city wall, even if it is several times more than the force, don't think about annihilation, as long as one person escapes. For the Fog Peak Army, there is no way to end it.

Taiwan is still in the hands of the Japanese, as long as they get the news of the Wufeng Army, 7 days is enough time for them to react, and then notify them downward, not to mention one northeast and one southeast, and the distance between them is only about 70 kilometers. If you sneak up on one of them, you can't deal with the other, whether it's a flare or a wolf smoke. Even if you send someone, you can always notify the other party.

One is fine, you can't eat a fat person in one bite. The whole of Taiwan is nothing more than a division stationed. Less than 25,000 people, plus some reserves. The police force and armed expatriates will not exceed 60,000 people, and they will eat a bite today and a bite tomorrow, and in the process of capturing and fighting, they will continue to expand their strength, which is tactically possible, and this is also the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Knowing this, but to do it, it takes continuous efforts, and now it is just a Nantou that has just been won, and there are a lot of materials, but the roots are not really deeply rooted, and it must be slowly figured out. Liu Ye cleaned up the thoughts that kept germinating in his heart, his eyes fell on the map, on one side was a complete brigade, on the other side, there was a wing headquarters and the most powerful brigade, after weighing for a long time, they chose the Okada brigade in the west, which is the weaker one among the three brigades in the wing, Okada Murafu graduated from Lu Shi, but his grades are only average, and his age is also the largest of the three captains, even older than the wing captain Inoue Murano, because of the limited intelligence, Only a little bit of the available information can be separated, and that's it.

Okada Murafu is in charge of this piece of mountainous area of about 40 square kilometers or so, and his brigade headquarters is stationed in Wujia Village, and the personnel under his command are all scattered, with the squadron as a unit, all over the vast mountainous area of more than 40 square kilometers, and there is no concentration at present, and the smallest unit is only a squad. Relatively speaking, the Inoue Wing, on the other hand, seems to have completed the search for the nearby mountain area, has been assembled, and stays where it is, and may go in the direction of the arsenal at any time. ,

Concentration is one aspect, the brigade directly under the wing must be the strongest in the whole wing, they are also combined into a camp, if they are not a company, but a battalion, they will definitely dare to fight with him, now, or find a soft persimmon pinch.

Left the special forces, 36 special forces were the first to be separated, but they were the first to come back, they have gone through a 24-hour rest, they are in good spirits, although it is said that blocking a brigade, but not in a fixed location, in a fixed position, but in a minimum of 100 kilometers, or even more than 170 kilometers of long and complex mountainous areas, and Liu Ye also left them about 100 assistants, although they are all ordinary young and strong in the Wufeng Army, but they can do something that only takes effort, For example, digging traps, laying mines, etc., the special forces can focus on how to kill the enemy.

For such a blocking mission, the special forces always do the best, the complex mountains and forests in central Taiwan, the surrounding more than 40 square kilometers, in the three-day time meeting, has been under the guidance of the guide, all over, the special forces can use the complex environment, special weapons, to give these Japanese troops a great blow, not to mention more, to buy them three days, the main force of the other side, into another direction, as for the annihilation of the enemy, that is secondary.

In this regard, the special forces were very satisfied, the captain patted his chest and promised, giving them 3-5 days to buy, and then they went to prepare, the Inoue United team headquarters is still more than 40 kilometers away, in that piece of mountain, but there are many suitable for ambush and blocking, rational use, don't look at only 36 people, the results produced are definitely the strongest.

The special forces are out, and the rest of the troops are ready to go at any time, and the special forces buy them time, in this case, they have as little as 4 days and as much as 7 days, which is enough for the Okada brigade.

When all assembled, nearly 1,800 people stood neatly outside Nantou County, the whole atmosphere was solemn, in front of everyone, Liu Ye put forward this plan, except for the reconnaissance company of the Northwest Army that had long been known, the remaining soldiers who had newly joined the Northwest Army were immediately stunned, even if they had participated in the Battle of Nantou Wufeng Army. Attacking the county town and taking the arsenal before had already surprised them, and now they are going to attack the Japanese field brigade, is it possible that the Japanese are all rabbits, and they were killed one by one, this is a field war.

Fortunately, a few days of simple training, coupled with the glory of the previous battle of Nantou, made these soldiers not take the initiative to refute, which made Liu Ye more satisfied, afraid of nonsense, besides, for the last brigade, the main force is still 600 people before, the battle of Nantou caused 100 casualties, although some were slightly injured, but they could not participate in this battle, 600 people are only half of the opponent's brigade, in his opinion it is enough, the remaining 1200 people can stay in the rear as a general reserve, and will not shoot until the critical moment.

After announcing that only 600 people would go on the expedition, the remaining 1,200 people would escort the last batch of supplies back, and they would build a complete defense line near the central mountainous area, looking for a solid base to deal with the gradual and strong counterattack and attack of the Japanese.

Soon, the team formed two directions, one to the west and the other to the east, and broke up in Nantou County, and when the winding team went deep into the mountains, 12 teams quietly integrated into the mountains and forests.

A platoon of the reconnaissance company, this is reintegration, a platoon of more than 60 people, divided into 12 squads, according to the plan formulated before, into a wide range, the most important aspect of field battles, is intelligence, with the support of intelligence, many combat plans are logical, without the support of intelligence, even if the victory is achieved, the price will be very large, that is absolutely hard.

On the frontal battlefield, unless it is an untrained farmer, any regular army has trained attack routines and fought positional warfare.

The reconnaissance company is doing this, the dense forest and the complex terrain give them enough protection, and when they go deep into the dense forest, they know that there is something that can be passed through, there is something that can be hidden, by the way, and then accurately investigate the situation of the Okada brigade.

Liu Ye is very careful, the special forces are carrying out more important tasks, there are special combat team members before, and they can create a good environment for the troops, even if they are hard-hitting, they can also be eliminated by sniping and long-distance fixed-point killings to establish an advantage for them. Now, the special combat personnel must be in the rear, resisting the attack of the wing headquarters and the strongest brigade, in this case, they have no way at all, without the special combat personnel, the reconnaissance company, a unit whose strength is far stronger than ordinary soldiers, it is impossible to rashly run into the opponent's defense line, and must do a good job of reconnaissance.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance company, the reconnaissance company, itself does this, under the guidance of 12 guides who are familiar with the surrounding environment, they go to the place of the Okada brigade to investigate, and the rest of the troops will be a little slower, these soldiers with excellent spirits clenched the guns in their hands slightly nervously.

Compared with the well-trained Northwest Army, these people are much worse, the battle of Nantou, they are more of a sweeping work, did not directly participate in the battle, now it is a field battle, there is no danger to defend, to fight less and more, they will inevitably go to the battlefield, they have the courage to fight the Japanese army head-on, but they do not have enough confidence, this is the difference between training and no training.

Along the rugged mountain road, under the guidance of the map, step by step, a distance of 30 kilometers, with a rapid march, at most half a day, can be reached, and the battle will start today. (To be continued......)
