The news of the 117th Wing, which will be destroyed without attacking from the northwest, quickly spread from Liu Ye to other positions, dealing with the two brigades, the Wufeng Army is evenly distributed with troops, dividing most of the remaining troops into two parts, and also considering the matter of the 117th Wing, after all, there is also a wing of regular Japanese troops, which have not been all killed, in case they rush out, it will be troublesome.

Even if Liu Ye swore here that he would definitely be able to block the 117th Wing inside, who would dare to guarantee that there was no one in case, the army was like this, and with this idea in his heart, he naturally did not go all out in terms of arrangement.

But now, after getting the news that the 117th Wing has been annihilated, the two parts began to increase their efforts, the artillery on the flat-topped mountain, no longer retained, 12 aimed at a brigade to beat hard, the new 108 in the northwest, referring to Krupp's new 108, and added the materials in the northwest, semi-loading and pipe retreat system, whether it is the rate of fire, or the firing range, it is a certain improvement compared with the world's first-class, he is almost equivalent to 155, in the mountains and forests, unprotected infantry, facing such artillery, Together with 600 troops and more than 60 mortars, the average artillery density is extremely high.

The difference between the second-line troops and the first-line troops is that hard power is on the one hand, and soft power is greater, and without systematic training, perhaps in downwind warfare and following the charge, it may not be much worse than the first-line troops, but in the face of artillery bombardment, if you choose an appropriate position and reduce the casualty rate, these second-line troops are far behind.

Itself, when the heavy artillery is not all aimed at them, and the mortars are not at full fire. They were very stressed, and they could barely block the impact of the Fog Peak Army. Now the whole heavy fire is tilted to this side. Coupled with the full firepower of the Wufeng Army, they couldn't stop it at all.

Under the strong pressure of the Wufeng Army, the most concentrated part of 3,000 people was directly annihilated, and most of the rest were not formed. Never give up, this second-line unit has endured such a powerful attack, the heavy artillery came over and did not lie on the ground to prevent fragments, but ran around in a panic like a headless fly, and finally the number of dead and wounded skyrocketed.

wanted to run out, but was blocked by the Wufeng Army, and in just 3 days, hundreds of battles of all sizes took place. And the special forces are like fish in water, in the mountains, constantly fighting guerrilla warfare and shooting cold guns. This brigade that was attacked by a heavy attack, where it was able to block such an all-round blow, in the end. In the case of escaping, he went deeper and deeper into the mountains.

Central Mountains. It is huge and long, and there are more than 20 main peaks above 3,000 meters above sea level. The most important thing is that this has never been the scope of the Japanese army, and even the plains have not been fully controlled by the Taiwan government, and the mountainous areas are forbidden lands, and here is the territory of the aborigines.

Japan spared no effort to suppress Taiwan, not only for the Han people, but also for the aborigines, the previous Inoue United, stayed in Nantou for a long time, in order to clear the aborigines, there are also more than a dozen tribes, by his purge, the hatred between the aborigines and the Japanese, the three rivers and five seas are inexhaustible, these fled in a hurry, some brought guns, but did not bring bullets, some brought bullets without guns, some simply did not bring anything, and even lost their military uniforms.

Such a rout, scattered in the mountains for hundreds of kilometers, is not all the food of the aborigines.

In fact, in the next few months, the aborigines annihilated more than 2,000 Japanese troops, seized all kinds of property and materials, as for the 198 brigade, in the end, escaped and successfully returned to Taipei, only 78 people, and more than half of them were wounded.

A brigade of more than 7,000 people, only 78 people remained, which is already considered an extremely clean total annihilation, and the attack on the 199 brigade of another brigade is also very fierce, but there is no cooperation of heavy artillery, but it was defeated, and more than 2,000 people were annihilated on the spot, and the rest began to flee, Wei Ming led the troops, and chased after them for 7 days, biting off their strength like wolves, especially on the seventh day, the combat mission of the 198 brigade has been completed, More than 400 soldiers in relatively good condition were dispatched, and the remnants of the 199 Brigade were successfully outflanked and blocked the remnants of the 199 Brigade in the place where Nantou entered the central mountain range, leaving less than 3,000 Japanese troops scattered in a hurry, half of them were completely annihilated, and the rest either hid in the mountains, or ran out and ran to Nantou.

Compared with the 198 Brigade, the 199 Brigade ended a little better, most of the cadres were annihilated, most of the personnel were lost, and finally more than 800 people ran back to Nantou, ten times that of 198, but compared with the original establishment, there was almost no one in ten.

In such a situation, a battle with a time span of nearly 20 days, with a cumulative battle of more than 700 times, the Wufeng Army was equivalent to annihilating 17,000 Japanese troops again, and the Japanese sent to Nantou, led by the 117th Wing, only the remnants of the defeated generals remained, and they were almost cleaned up as a system.

In the mountains and forests, it is impossible to annihilate them all, among the 18,000, there are still hundreds of people who escaped the catastrophe and escaped, none of the core 117 Wing ran out, and the 199 of the second line ran out the most, they told the combat effectiveness of the Wufeng Army, and the Wufeng Army has since declared a great earthquake in the Taiwan Army, and even the news that the Wufeng Army has heavy artillery has also spread.

Heavy artillery, especially more than 100 mm heavy artillery, for the promotion of the army is very obvious, there is and no, this is completely a matter of two concepts, if you feel before, the Wufeng Army is a rabble, at most a small group of regular troops to promote, they are also active in the mountains, it is difficult to cross the mountains into the outside, but now it seems that there is an unknown number of heavy artillery, plus the people who migrated from Nantou and Wufeng, as long as they are trained a little, A combat force comparable to the Japanese brigade and even the division will appear.

Among the Japanese divisions, there are also several categories, the Guards Division, the Main Division, the Second Line Division and the Colonial Division, among which, the colonial division is the weakest, although it occupies the permanent establishment of Japan, but from weapons, to personnel, and even the combat allocation of the division itself, there is a huge difference from the previous one.

18,000 people, not much time, almost all annihilated, none of the 117 Wing escaped, the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, they could not stay here longer.

As a direct result, the two wings stationed in Nantou and some of the troops of the second and third lines immediately began to shrink, returned to Wufeng, and joined up with the two wings that originally stayed here, forming an armed force of 38,000, and the regular Japanese army exceeded 15,000 military forces, and through the fixed telegraph line on Wufeng's side, they directly sent a distress message to Taipei, demanding to return to Taichung.

Taichung is the base camp in the central part of the country, in a sense, the protection is more tight, and there are quite a lot of other forces to support, unlike this, Wufeng and Nantou, and even the people have run out, let alone direct support forces.

The telegram of the first battle of Nantou was directly sent to the Taiwan Governor's Palace, and immediately caused an uproar at the first time, and the previous Inoue Wing was annihilated, which has made the entire Taiwan army chaotic, so the Governor of Taiwan chose to use thunder means to directly attack Nantou, attack Wufeng, and strive to kill the Wufeng Army, but 5 wings, more than 60,000 armed forces went to the central part, but ushered in greater bad news, and now not only the 117th Wing has a problem, but the two second-line brigades that follow him are also in trouble.

18,000 people, which is almost one-third of Taiwan's existing armed forces, were all killed in less than 20 days, and even on the body of the Wufeng Army, there are also heavy artillery, what does this mean, the governor was suspicious before, the scale of the uprising in Taiwan is not so large, the combat effectiveness is not so strong, how can a regular wing of nearly 4,000 people like the Inoue Wing be killed by the Wufeng Army so easily.

This time, the incident of the 117th Wing proves this point, and in the entire Asian periphery, those who have the ability to drop more than 100 mm heavy artillery on Taiwan are Britain, France, the United States, and other countries, which in principle support Japan, and Britain and France are allies with Japan as allies of the Entente Powers, and as for the United States, their views and tendencies are also more inclined to the Entente Powers.

After weighing the circle, the great powers have no reason to support the Taiwan uprising, so there is only one possibility, they are declaring war on Japan, and Japan has formed a direct confrontation with the Northwest Army in the Shandong region, and the relationship between Japan is a declaration of war, and it is very likely that he will draw forces from Fujian to Taiwan.

Then, there is a great possibility that the regular army of the Northwest Army will land on Taiwan, what does this mean, it represents Taiwan's loopholes, there are only one or two thousand people now, and maybe one or two thousand people in the future, how much combat strength the Taiwan Army has, the governor knows very well, he does not know much about the northwest, but he can let the local troops, all the army standing divisions and regiments, there is no way to do the Northwest Army, their combat effectiveness is above them.

The governor directly agreed, and the return of the remaining four wings, even the second-line troops, all returned to Taichung, leaving a small number of second-line troops to protect Taichung, and the rest urgently returned to Taipei, while on the other hand, he opened the armory and recruited people on a large scale.

After Japan's occupation of Taiwan, Taiwan has always been under militarized management, and a high-pressure policy has been adopted in terms of policy, and the guns that have been replaced over the years and those shipped from the country have been piled up in the armory in addition to being replaced, and now they are all opened, and a large number of Japanese expatriates have been recruited from among the Japanese expatriates, and a contingent of at least 40,000 people has been temporarily raised.

As far as the governor of Taiwan is concerned, when the northwest intervenes in it, this is no longer a matter for the Taiwan army alone, but a matter related to the entire Japanese government. (To be continued......)
