Gathering in Hsinchu County

At the moment of life and death, the Japanese army's reaction speed was still very fast. The entire Japanese army stationed in Taiwan began to operate rapidly and effectively like a huge war machine.

The Ninth Division directly under the 10th Front Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Taiwan, because it is stationed in Taichung, which is the closest to Hsinchu County, has undoubtedly become the main force of the 1st Division of the encirclement and suppression.

After receiving the combat order from the Governor General Ando Jiri, the division commander, Lieutenant General Mori Gang, immediately transferred the 33 and 34 infantry wings under the 9th Division, the cavalry wing directly under the cavalry wing, the two field artillery piles under the field artillery wing, a baggage brigade, and an engineer brigade, totaling more than 9,000 people, under his own command, to rush to Hsinchu County, which had been completely occupied by the ** First Division.

Of course, at the same time as the Japanese army dispatched troops, Li Chengtian, who was directly appointed as the acting commander of the ** First Division by the General Headquarters for the Attack on Taiwan, also began to integrate the limited forces in his hands to prepare for the next battle.

After several days of fighting and constant replenishment, the strength in Rhee's hands has reached an astonishing 5,000 men, including more than 4,500 ordinary infantrymen and more than 500 special combat personnel who have been ordered to gather from various places. As for the equipment of the troops, except for the equipment brought with them by more than 500 special combat personnel, the remaining infantry is all equipped with Japanese-style equipment that has been strengthened by firepower.

After greeting the three regiment commanders and division chief of staff who were the former company commanders of the special operations division in front of him, Li Chengtian did not hide anything and directly stated the current situation in which everyone was found.

"Brothers, we are all old partners from the special operations division, old brothers, I won't say anything false, I will directly introduce to you the current situation that my ** first division is facing."

"According to the latest reconnaissance by carrier-based aviation reconnaissance aircraft, it began this morning. There was a Japanese army with a total strength of 10,000 people, from Taichung. Quickly pounce on my Hsinchu County. According to the speed of the Japanese march and the distance between the enemy and our armies. By tomorrow night at the latest, this force of Japanese troops will be under the city. Let's talk about it, how should we fight this battle? ”

"The enemy is strong and I am weak. More importantly, we have 5,000 troops in our hands. But. Of the more than 5,000 people, besides us, the five hundred. The rest, none of them took part in real battles. So. I mean. In the face of a strong enemy, guerrilla warfare is our best way to fight...."Wen Changtian, a company commander of a special operations division from the old Red Army and now the commander of the first regiment of the ** First Division, opened his mouth to suggest.

As soon as Wen Changtian's suggestion was finished, it was agreed by everyone. After all, guerrilla warfare is the most important magic weapon for our army to win victories step by step from small to large.

Lee Seung-cheon, who is the division commander. Although in my heart, I also agree with the whole style of play. But. Thinking of the combat order that Vice Chairman Liu personally gave him, it was a headache. Then, he shook his head very helplessly and spoke.

"Brethren, guerrilla warfare is good. However, we don't have so much time to consume with little devils. Second, there is not enough strategic space to deal with the enemy. More importantly, the vice chairman repeatedly explained in the telegram that the first battle with the Japanese army could not be cowardly under any circumstances. At the same time, I hope that we will live up to expectations and be able to win the first battle in a short period of time and shoot the first shot at Taiwan's liberation. Because only in this way can we attract the attention of more Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan and reduce the pressure on the main forces attacking Taiwan..."

"Division commander, what do you mean?" asked Chief of Staff Wang Yusheng thoughtfully.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, make good use of our advantages, fight two battles of annihilation in Hsinchu County, and break the heavy encirclement and suppression launched by the Japanese army in one fell swoop..."

Immediately, he ordered Wang Yusheng: "Chief of Staff, you immediately transfer a platoon of scouts from among our old subordinates, ride fast horses, and quickly find out the strength and equipment of the Japanese army." In addition, we should also bring a radio station to monitor and report every move of this Japanese army at any time....A few of us, look at the map, look for favorable terrain, and find a way to fight two battles of annihilation against the little devils..."...,

"Yes, division commander...."

Nearly 10,000 Japanese troops entered the territory of Miaoli County. More than 30 scouts of the special operations division who were galloping in happened to collide head-on.

As a result, one telegram after another about the specific situation of this Japanese army was sent to Rhee Seungtian. At the same time, Li Chengtian and others, who were sticking to the county seat, also found a lot of powerful terrain in Hsinchu County that could be ambushed through the map.

After reading the information in hand, division commander Li Chengtian and chief of staff Wang Yusheng, two special operations masters, almost at the same time, set their eyes on the Xianshan area in Miaoli County, the road that the Japanese army must pass. Then, he said in unison.

"Divisional commander... (Chief of Staff)....I think..."

Hearing each other's voices, the two old partners from a special operations team couldn't help but smile at each other. Division Commander Li Chengtian was the first to speak: "Lao Wang, among our old brothers, you have always been the most strategic, you speak first." “

"Okay, then you're welcome..."

"You look at the terrain of this area of Xianshan, the whole highway is like a 'several' shape, and this straight line located in the protruding part is about a kilometer away. In addition, at both ends of this straight road, there are hills and mountains with an altitude of more than 200 meters. If we can lay an ambush here, we will definitely be able to catch the little devil by surprise. ”

"In addition, according to intelligence. This Japanese army did not know whether it was too confident or too confident in the combat effectiveness of its own cavalry wing. It turned out that the cavalry wing was ordered to have a strength of less than a thousand people, and the main force was more than five kilometers outstanding. A cavalry team of 1,000 men walked into this section of the road, just filling up this straight road with a length of more than a kilometer. At the same time, it is simply impossible for the main forces of the Japanese army to cross this distance of five kilometers, without an hour ...."

Speaking of this, Chief of Staff Wang Yusheng's face immediately showed a look of expectation. Very decisive suggestion: "Commander, at this time, the little devil gave us a chance to come to the door. In my opinion, we should grasp and eat his cavalry wing first. Let the enemy lose the only force that can move quickly in the next battle..."

"It's feasible..."For his old man's plan, Li Chengtian still trusts him very much. More importantly, this time. The two of them actually thought of going together.

In terms of details, though. Lee Seung-tian, who has already served as the division commander. Or think a little more.

"Lao Wang, don't say anything else, relying on such a good terrain, only a few hundred people from our special operations division. It was enough to completely annihilate the cavalry wing of the Japanese army. So, I think. The commander of our first division must not only achieve an unprecedented victory, but also pass this battle. Raise the morale of the troops hard. Let them know. Even the elite cavalry units of the Japanese army, in front of the weapons in our hands, are also carrying two shoulders and one head...", Lee Seungtian suggested.

"Commander, what do you mean?" asked Wang Yusheng.

"The brethren who came out of the special operations division, except for the fifty people who were left to watch the house, the rest. All under my command, we went to Xianshan to ambush the Japanese cavalry wing. Other than that. Three infantry regiments, each with a battalion drawn from the fighting. As for how this battalion was drawn, the three regiment commanders carried out the summit on their own. However, I only need one result, and after the victory of the battle, the fear of the troops against the Japanese army must be completely eliminated for me? ”

"Tell the three regiment commanders that all the troops must assemble at the city gate within an hour." Rhee ordered decisively.

"Yes, division commander...."

In the scorching sun, more than a thousand commanders and fighters lay in the grass, although there were leaves above their heads to block most of the heat. However, being motionless for a long time still made beads of sweat the size of beans flow on everyone's faces. However, even so, under the supervision and suppression of several hundred special combat personnel, the soldiers in the entire ambush position still did not move. If it weren't for his own people, it would have been impossible to know that in the dense bushes on both sides of the road, there were almost two thousand hunter-like soldiers....... "Boom...."The hours of waiting finally came to fruition. A slight roar slowly reached everyone's ears. Immediately after, the position where everyone was invisible, with the thought of the roar, began to tremble slightly. Obviously, everyone's combat target, that is, the cavalry wing directly under the 9th Division, is close at hand and is about to enter the net ....

"Order everyone, get ready for battle. Without my order, no one is allowed to fire in advance...."Li Chengtian ordered with an expectant expression, and then took out a 'Zhonghua Yi-style' semi-automatic rifle that he had in his hand.

Nearly a thousand little devils appeared at the end of the highway. In less than two minutes, the vanguard cavalry team had already rushed to the other side of the road. And at this moment, half of the entire cavalry wing has broken into this huge pocket.

However, at this moment, thick trees lined the road, blocking the way of the Japanese cavalry squad. The entire cavalry contingent had to crowd the narrow road as the advance of the cavalry vanguard came to a halt.

"Yaga, what's going on in front of you, why did you stop advancing...."Wing Commander Akiyama Osa asked with a frown.

"Report to the wing commander, the road ahead is blocked, and the cavalry vanguard is clearing the road, and it is initially estimated that it will take at least half an hour..."

"Nani, the road is blocked, and it will take half an hour to pass..."Speaking of this, the battle-hardened Akiyama Daisa immediately thought of something. Then, quickly raise the telescope in your hand and start observing the surrounding terrain.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. I saw that on both sides of the entire highway were mountains with an altitude of more than 200 meters, one after the other. After seeing that their cavalry wing, because the speed was too fast, in addition to the sudden halt of the advance of the vanguard squad. Before they could give their orders, the follow-up troops had already rushed into this section of the road, crowded together. The face of Wing Captain Akiyama Daisa immediately turned pale. Then, roaring loudly.

"Yaga, we were fooled. Fast. The rear team becomes the front team, and immediately retreats, exiting this section of the road, there is an ambush...."

"Bang....", however, it is a pity that before Akiyama Daisa's order has been given, his cavalry wing has already been drilled into a few circles. At the same time, the division commander Li Chengtian, who personally aimed at him, had already steadily pulled the trigger of the semi-automatic rifle in his hand....
