Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The news that Xiao Nai had captured Chiayi soon spread throughout Taiwan. Hu Dongning, who was locked in a bitter battle in Yunlin City, and Li Nan, who was fighting to the death with the vanguard of the Japanese Fourth Brigade in Nantou City, were all in high spirits after hearing the news.  , but compared to the Japanese Second Division, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt. They almost defeated Hu Dongning, the first detachment of the Guards, at the foot of Yunlin City. However, the fall of Chiayi completely blocked their retreat.  Cut off, and the firearms and grain transported from Tainan to Chiayi completely fell into the hands of the Red Label Army, which was a huge shock and blow to the Japanese army.

    Nogi Nogi Nogi is commanding the battle under Yunlin City at this time. He has surrounded the entire Yunlin City, and the Japanese troops in the city are also pressing forward step by step. They will soon eat up Hu Dongning's guards, and not a single one will be missed, but  Now that Chiayi City was lost, the Japanese army was in disarray, and the grumpy Army Lieutenant General was so angry that smoke was coming from his nostrils. The battle situation that had been determined to win suddenly changed drastically. Instead, he was in jail, and the people in the city were  When Hu Dongning received the news that Chiayi had been captured, he rose up even more bravely and launched a counter-attack. He was beaten back step by step, but he actually started to chase the Japanese army and captured several streets in a row, and even almost defeated the Japanese army to the south.  Gate Street.  .

    But what really shocked him was not the fall of Chiayi, but the fall of Tainan.

    When Xiao Nai launched a surprise attack on Chiayi, the Eastern Route Army formed a mixed formation consisting of the 1st Regiment, the 1st Battalion of the Teaching Regiment, the 1st Cavalry Company, the 1st and 2nd Squadron of the Grenadier Battalion, and the Guards following behind.  The second detachment, Lin Qingshu, finally crossed the southern end of the Central Mountains and invaded Tainan City.

    For the Japanese army, this day was simply a nightmare. Less than half a day after the fall of Chiayi City, news of the critical situation in Tainan came again. The East Route Army, led by Yang Bin, stormed Tainan with superior force.  , also caught the Japanese troops stationed in Tainan by surprise. They thought that the Red Label Army would attack from the north gate, so they deployed all their forces to the north of the city, preparing to meet Xiao Nai's troops heading south. However, they did not expect that the Red Label Army would have a group of surprise troops coming from the east.  They came over, and this Red Label Army was like clockwork. In order to capture Tainan, they were like a group of hungry beasts. They rushed over crazily and ferociously, attacking anyone and anything that blocked their way.  , completely destroyed.

    Nogi Nogi's troops left in Tainan also have a temporary reserve infantry regiment. They have just boarded Tainan on a transport ship and are preparing to rest for a day before heading to Yunlin to join the main force of Nogi Nogi's second division, but they are not even able to  Before they had time to leave the city, they suffered a devastating blow from the Red Label Army. In fact, it should be more precise that it was the second detachment of Lin Qingshu's Guards.

    In order to attack, the second detachment of the Guards, which was originally behind Yang Bin and collected various rebels and Qing troops along the way, took a shortcut and overtook Yang Bin's first regiment when crossing the Central Mountains.  Due to the inclusion of many rebels and Qing troops, the second detachment has expanded several times unprecedentedly, with more than 3,000 people, not even inferior to Yang Bin's mixed formation of the Eastern Route Army. Therefore, Lin Qingshu, who was eager to make contributions, did not even  After greeting Yang Bin, he first launched an attack on Tainan.

    Due to the fanatical and ferocious attack of the Guards, the temporary reserve infantry regiment in the city responded hastily. The Japanese army did not even know where the red label troops attacking the city came from and how many troops they had before they were already invaded by Lin Qingshu's Guards.  In the city, fights to the death were carried out on various streets.

    By the time Yang Bin arrived with the First Regiment, the First Brigade of the Teaching Group, the First Cavalry Company, and the First and Second Squadrons of the Grenadier Brigade, most of the city had been captured by the Guards, and their participation was only limited to  It just plays the role of knocking over the last domino.

    Originally, Nogi Xidian under Yunlin City wanted to eliminate Hu Dongning in the city, then return to Chiayi and eliminate Xiao Nan's second and third regiments in one go. However, he never expected that not only did he fail to eliminate the nearby troops in Yunlin City,  The Guards almost drove the opponent out of the city, and Tainan, the supply and logistics base that this battle relied on, fell within half a day, completely putting his second division into a desperate situation. He no longer had any hope.  Hu Dongning, whose thoughts swallowed up Yunlin in one breath, had no choice but to retreat his troops south and advance toward Chiayi City in a hurry.

    For Fushimi Miya Sadai who attacked Nantou City from the direction of Taichung, the successive losses of Chiayi and Tainan were like a bolt from the blue, which shocked him so much that he could not recover for a long time.

    Since defeating the 10th Dongjun Battalion in Taichung, the mixed formation of the Fourth Brigade moved all the way south with high fighting spirit. The two vanguards fought fiercely with Li Nan's Red Label Army. The Japanese vanguard from the Caotun direction had even entered the city.  Another group of Japanese vanguards attacking Nantou from Caowei Ridge in the direction of Huatan almost mounted their artillery on the top of the hill, covering the Red Label Army in the city with artillery fire, completely destroying the entire city.

    ¡°However, the Japanese army¡¯s nightmare also began when Chiayi and Tainan fell one after another. When Li Nan learned about this great news within half a day, he? ordered the entire army to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army at any cost, and the Red Label Army also carried out this order thoroughly, whether in the streets of the city, in the positions on the top of the mountains, or on the banks of the rivers,  On the wasteland outside the city, the charging figure of the Red Label Army can be seen everywhere, and the high-pitched shouts of the Red Label Army can be heard everywhere. They rush towards the enemy like male lions.  As long as they are entangled, they will be torn into pieces.

    And the Red Label Army company that was defeated by the Japanese vanguard in the flower bed and fled to Changhua Fenyuan in Bagua Mountain suddenly appeared in the west of Changhua City, stabbed the Japanese army hard like a sharp knife, and once attacked the West City Gate,  Fushimi Gong Zhenai in the city was so frightened that she thought she was being attacked by another surprise force of the Red Label Army like Chiayi and Tainan, so she ordered the Japanese troops that were rushing towards Nantou City to be transferred back to Changhua City for rescue. However, when this force  When the remnants of the Red Label Army were driven out of the city by the superior force of the Japanese troops in the city, Fushimi Miyazada Ai had not yet come to her senses. She thought this was a tentative attack by the Red Label Army and did not dare to show any signs of neglect.  After packing, they withdrew the headquarters from Changhua and retreated to Taichung.

    The retreat of Fushimi Gong Zhenai also caused the Japanese troops who went south to attack Nantou City to become confused. They no longer had any courage to attack and fled north one after another. Li Nan was a person who liked to beat up drowned dogs. When he saw the fourth Japanese army  The brigade's defense line retreated completely, and they were even more ecstatic, ordering all troops to launch a pursuit and attack on the Japanese army.

    Suddenly, from Nantou to Changhua, and then to Taipei, Japanese troops and Red Label troops could be seen everywhere along the way. Both sides were chasing each other, and the battle lines became wider and wider, and they became more and more scattered.  In the unit, there is me among you, and you among me, intertwined and tolerant of each other.

    In Yuanlin Town, west of Bagua Mountain, a Red Label Army unit of less than one platoon had just entered the town and had just stopped to rest. There was a roar of people outside the town. They had not even understood what was going on.  What happened? A large group of soldiers covered in mud poured into the center of the town like a tide, going from house to house looking for food and drink as if no one was around.

    The platoon leader curiously pulled one of the soldiers aside. When he asked which unit the other party belonged to, he realized that the soldiers in front of him were Japanese soldiers fleeing north. Both sides were shocked.

    "It's a stupid Japanese ghost!" The platoon leader reacted faster. While alerting the surrounding men, he pulled out the engineer shovel on his back and slashed open the opponent's face with a knife. As soon as the Japanese soldier picked up the bayonet, he was painfully  He yelled and fell to the ground.

    Hearing the screams, everyone in the town was stunned. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Finally, a Japanese soldier shouted heartbreakingly: "The Orochi Army, they are the Orochi Army!"

    There was a burst of gunfire, and no one knew who fired the first shot. Almost everyone who entered the town raised their guns to shoot, and they all shot at the person closest to them.

    After the gunfire, there were bursts of painful howls. Many people who were shot fell to the ground almost at the same time, covered in blood. Some people closed their eyes forever, and some were dying, but  Still staring with dying eyes at the person who shot them, some struggled to get up from the ground, picked up the bayonets on the ground and rushed toward the opponent.

    A Red Label soldier was shot in the face and his entire jaw was knocked off by the bullet. He fell to the ground. Seeing that he was not dead yet, the Japanese soldier who fired the gun pulled the bolt and prepared to shoot again, but  However, another Red Label soldier behind him hit him hard on the back of the head with a rifle butt, smashing his skull into pieces. He screamed and fell to the ground.

    The Red Label soldier who smashed the Japanese soldier's head with the butt of his rifle soon let out a scream. At some point, a bayonet blade protruded from his chest. A Japanese soldier suddenly stabbed him from behind. He waited for the Japanese soldier to pull out the bayonet.  When he came out, he also fell to the ground.

    However, the Red Label soldier whose jaw had been knocked off had already climbed up from the ground. He raised his Mauser rifle and shot directly into the face of the Japanese soldier who was sneaking up from behind. The bullet entered through the eye and penetrated through the back of the head. In an instant,  He took his life.

    A Red Label soldier simply pulled a bundle of three grenades in his arms, rushed towards the Japanese soldiers who were gathered together, and then blew them all into the sky. The whole battle was bloody and tragic. After everyone woke up, they all  He rushed towards the opponent like crazy, as if he would not stop until he killed the opponent.

    The melee in Yuanlin Town lasted for half an hour and ended. Except for a few Japanese soldiers who fled the town in panic, all other Japanese soldiers were killed by the Red Label Army. However, the price paid by the Red Label Army was also extremely heavy. Most of them  In the end, only less than ten people in the platoon were still breathing, and the rest fell into a pool of blood.

    But even so, the remaining ten people still reorganized into a formation, cleared the battlefield, and then continued to pursue north. This kind of battle isThe next few days frequently took place in various towns and villages from Nantou to Changhua and to Taichung. For the Red Label Army, this was a thrilling pursuit, and for the Japanese troops of the Fourth Brigade,  To me, it was simply a hellish nightmare.

    However, for Fushimi Gong Zhenai, who has just retreated to Taichung and has not yet taken a breath, the nightmare has just begun, because Xu Xiang's troops of the 7th Regiment, which went south for reinforcements, have crossed Da'an River and launched an attack on Taichung City, and Qiu Debiao led  The mixed formation composed of the Third Regiment, the Eighth Regiment and the Third Detachment of the Guards had arrived at Tongluo Township south of Miaoli County after marching under the stars and moon for several days and nights. They could even hear Xu Xiang launching a counterattack.  The sound of gunfire from the Taichung attack.

    The big net cast by Yu Xiaocheng also began to gradually tighten at this moment, whether it was Nogi Nogi's second division, Fushimi Miya Sadai's fourth brigade mixed formation, or the Huashan who had just landed in Tainan  The troops under the direct control of the Governor-General's Palace have all become fishes in a big net. No matter how hard they try to jump, they can't break free.  [(m) No pop-up window reading]
