Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the wilderness of northern Taiwan, a force headed by more than a dozen tanks is moving northward quickly. This is an assault force of the 500th Army. In the middle of the team, sitting on an American military jeep, is a member of the 500th Army.  General Gao Quan.  .

    On July 26, China, the United States and Britain jointly issued the "Potsdam Declaration", urging Japan to surrender unconditionally, otherwise it would deal a "final blow" to Japan. The issuance of the "Potsdam Declaration" heralded that the war of resistance had entered the final moment, said  The days of the fascists doing evil and harming the Chinese people are numbered, and the surrender of the Japanese is only a matter of ten days.

    The very next day, July 27, the Chinese National Revolutionary Army led by Army Commander-in-Chief General He Yingqin successfully recaptured Guilin. The counterattack had begun. The enthusiasm of the people of all ethnic groups in the country for the war of resistance was unprecedentedly high. It was the end of the Japanese army.  It is coming soon, and now is the time to reap the fruits of victory. After eight years of arduous war of resistance, the Chinese people, who have suffered so much, are finally about to usher in the greatest victory in history.

    At such a moment when victory is imminent, Gao Quan and his 500 troops certainly cannot remain idle. While they are waiting for the Emperor of Japan to read out the surrender edict and then go to successfully take over the city, they should use the last few days to fight the Japanese again.  On these two roads, the three top commanders of the 500 Army quickly reached an agreement. They must not wait for victory. They must make the brutal Japanese pirates pay the price for everything they have done to the Chinese people for hundreds of years.

    The officers and soldiers of the 500th Army immediately launched an all-out counterattack against the Japanese troops on the front. Gao Quan lined up his three divisions and concentrated all the artillery in the army to conduct a saturated bombardment of the Japanese positions for an hour.  More than 20,000 officers and soldiers from three divisions blew the charge horn and launched a full-line attack on the Japanese army, which had been disrupted by our artillery shelling.

    The frontline commander of the Japanese army, Tasaka Hachiba, mobilized all active Japanese troops to pick up their guns and rush to the battlefield, desperately trying to hold on to their last position. Once his army was defeated and Taichung fell, the next step would be a flat plain.  The Japanese army no longer has a solid line of defense to defend, and the 500-strong army will unstoppably rush directly to Taipei, where the Taiwan Governor-General's Office is located.

    But now, Taiwan's sea and air routes of retreat have been cut off, and the sea and air are all within the sphere of influence of the Americans. Once Taipei is captured, the tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the island will be trapped in a dead end with no way to the sky and no way to escape. In order to survive,  , the Japanese will also fight to the death.

    Gao Quan commanded the troops to attack for three days. Although he pushed the front a little further and annihilated countless Japanese soldiers, he did not achieve any decisive victory. The attack was too difficult and the casualties among the soldiers were too great. The Japanese soldiers were desperate.  We would rather die in battle than surrender. Every step our army takes is passing through the corpses of countless Japanese soldiers.

    On the fourth day of the battle, Gao Quan was looking at the map in the headquarters and considering strategies to defeat the enemy. Suddenly, he saw Keelung, the last fully formed infantry regiment of the Japanese Ninth Division. The 19th Regiment also  They are stationed there. I don't know what the Japanese think. Even with the war going so far, they still haven't mobilized this main infantry unit.

    Gao Quan's biggest purpose in fighting in Taiwan was to kill this butcher unit that had participated in the Nanjing Massacre. The division's artillery, engineers, and heavy supply units had all rushed to the front line in Taichung. It was this main infantry unit that actually  Hiding away from the flames of the war, do they want to wait for the surrender order to be issued, and then surrender without incident? Gao Quan will never tolerate this happening while dreaming in the day.

    On the same day, Army Commander Gao Quan convened a military meeting with the Secretary General, Deputy Army Commander, and the reading brigade, armored corps, special service regiment, baggage regiment, reconnaissance regiment, etc. At this temporary meeting, Gao Quan announced that he would  Forming a rapid assault force to bypass the current battlefield and attack the 19th Regiment of the 9th Division stationed in Keelung, Gao Quan must annihilate this group of heinous devils before August 15th.

    Needless to say, the military meetings held by the 500 Army are Gao Quan¡¯s official forum. Most of the meetings chaired by Commander Gao are used to convey his tactical thoughts and assign combat tasks. The officers of the 500 Army have long been accustomed to this, including  Wu Guangxing and Xie Zhongming were not surprised by this situation. They just wanted to lead a small force to carry out sneak attacks, which they usually did. The Secretary General and Deputy Army Commander just nodded to this, indicating that they already knew and wanted to  Just go ahead and do it, we won't interfere.

    The secretary-general and deputy commander agreed, and the remaining officers attending the meeting were all here to accept combat missions. Commander Gao ordered: The reading brigade and the special agent regiment will be the main force of the raid; the mobile detachment will deploy half a battalion to assist in the attack; reconnaissance  The regiment sent out a battalion to assist in reconnaissance; the baggage regiment sent all the baggage trucks as troop transport vehicles to ensure the mobility of the raiding force.

    Commander Gao will lead this mechanized force to bypass the current combat zone to sneak attack Keelung and eliminate the 19th Regiment. As for the command of the frontal battlefield, according to previous practice, it will be jointly commanded by the Secretary General and the Deputy Commander.?.

    The troops were very fast. The commanders of the various armies who received the battle order immediately went back to assemble their troops and prepare for the attack. On the same day, the assault force of the 500th Army set off from the front line of Taichung. With the Taiwanese Volunteer Army acting as a guide, the assault detachment successfully bypassed the noisy artillery fire.  The main battlefield was towards Keelung, the northern port of Baodao, at an average speed of thirty kilometers per hour.

    With such a small-scale force marching mechanized, it is impossible to say that they did not encounter a single Japs along the way. After all, the Japs are still dominant in Taiwan.

    The Japs were fighting on the front line, transporting ammunition, food and grass, and logistics troops one after another were moving towards Taichung. The Japs were heading south, and the 500 Army assault troops were heading north. It was normal for the two to meet.  On the road, the attack force encountered the Japanese transport force more than once. The two sides fought when they met. The brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. There is nothing to say. Gao Quan put a dozen tanks of the Armored Corps in front to open the way.

    As soon as a Japanese transport team is discovered in front of them, whether it is a truck convoy or a large convoy, or whether the Japanese transport ammunition or food and grass, the tanks will fire from a distance, and a round of random artillery will disrupt the Japanese transport team and attack the troops.  The car continued to move forward without turning off the engine. They were in a hurry. Sometimes they encountered a rather naughty Japanese who insisted on coming over to take action. More than a dozen tanks would swarm up, firing machine guns and pressing down on their tracks. They would kill the screaming Japanese in an instant.  Crushed into mud.

    "Reporting to the military, our army is still ten miles away from Keelung." The voice of Yi Chengxiang, the battalion commander of the armored corps in front, came from the wireless phone. When the 500th Army used to sneak attack the Japanese, they often took a rest before approaching the enemy.  For more than ten minutes and half an hour, Yi Chengxiang was asking the military commander if he needed to rest before he could charge again.

    "Keep moving forward. If you find the Japanese army, attack immediately." Gao Quan calmly gave the attack order to Yi Chengxiang on the other end of the microphone. In the past, the attack battle was carried out by running on two legs. Of course, you had to rest when you got there;  Today everyone is traveling by car, and tanks and trucks are not tiring. There is no need to be polite with the Japanese, just fight directly.
