    Nantou City is located in the central part of Baodao Island, adjacent to 5 counties including Baodao City, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Kaohsiung, and Hualien. It is the only county town on Baodao without a coastline.  It covers an area of ??square kilometers and has a population of only a few hundred thousand.  The county seat is in Nantou City, on the left bank of Maoluo River in the southern part of the Taichung Basin.  Originally an indigenous tribe, the Nantou Society, Sun Moon Lake, which later became famous at home and abroad, is located here.  Yushan, the highest peak of Baodao, the source of Zhuoshui Creek, the longest river, and the geographic center of Baodao are all located in this county.  This county, which usually has a small population and does not need to worry about coastline defense, is the headquarters base used by the rapid counterattack division to sweep through all the counties in Baodao.  When the advance troops of the Assault Department successfully and quickly occupied Nantou City, the Japanese troops on the front line had not yet reacted.  Several rapid airborne landings by the Quick Reaction Division have successfully parachuted the more than 20,000 troops of the Quick Reaction Division to Nantou City.  Those Nantou people who learned that Nantou had been liberated watched as military vehicles and groups of mighty elite troops drove into Nantou City one after another.  Finally know that from today on, they finally don't have to worry about the Japanese counterattack.  With such an elite and powerful force protecting them, they really don't have to endure the grievances of the little devils anymore.  Wu Zhongyuan, who successfully arrived at the Nantou Provisional General Headquarters, explained that the civilians in the city would be dispatched here in the early stage, and intelligence personnel and guerrillas familiar with the local situation would be temporarily in charge.  Immediately ordered the assault brigade to quickly attack Taichung, the important Japanese city near Nantou.  The Japanese troops blocking the attack in Taichung were defeated and the Marines were successfully dispatched to the island.  As for the rest of the troops, they also entered the counties near Nantou in batches to launch blocking and counterattacks.  Try to buy some more valuable time for the Marines who are arriving one after another.  As long as the army troops assembled by the general team successfully land ashore, there will be no easy end for the little devils on Baodao.  Because the militia's raid came so quickly, the Japanese troops in the city didn't even send a telegram, and were caught off guard by the vanguard of the rapid counterattack division that rushed into the city.  So much so that when the Japanese blocking force deployed in Taichung was suddenly attacked by militiamen from the rear.  The troops on the front line still didn't understand what was happening.  Looking at these attacking troops who were obviously from the regular army, the Japanese commander in Taichung immediately sought support from the commander-in-chief of Baodao Prefecture.  He also said that these regular militia troops who suddenly appeared behind them were most likely the militia troops that the Japanese troops in Nantou City had reported landing from the sky.  Because the Kwantung Army suffered losses from rapid counterattacks, the senior generals in the Japanese army all knew about the establishment of the militia corps.  There is an extremely powerful main battle force, and this force completely ignores land blockade.  They can be delivered from the sky to any combat area that their transport aircraft can reach.  The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army who knew the origin of the quick counterattack division.  While ordering the defensive forces in Taichung to resolutely counterattack, they also sent telegrams of support to the Japanese troops in other nearby cities.  However, most of the Japanese troops set up ambush positions facing the sea. When they were attacked by rapid reaction division troops breaking through from the inside.  Taichung fell much faster than the Japanese commander-in-chief of Baodao.  And the remaining Japanese troops in Lincheng who received the order to support received a strong counterattack from the Quick Reaction Division troops before they could move out.  At the same time, they were defeated and defeated. Not to mention supporting the defenders of Taichung, whether they could successfully return to their original city was an issue worth considering.  Although we know that this is a powerful main battle force in the militia corps.  But the Japanese commander of Baodao still did not expect that the strength of this quick counterattack division could be so strong.  Often a regiment of a quick counterattack division can defeat a brigade-level garrison in the city.  To play around with.  Of course, what is also relevant here is that their garrison garrison does not have many actual Japanese soldiers.  And most of them are soldiers from Baodao.  He was forcibly recruited into the army by the Japanese army.  Usually used to suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces on Baodao, these city defense troops had no problem.  Now when we encounter the truly powerful militia regular troops, their strength is simply not enough.  There are some officers and soldiers from Baodao who know that the Japs don¡¯t have much to fight for.  Soon someone surrendered before the battle or was more ambitious, and started to play the trick of turning back before the battle.  When the Japanese city defense officers felt a headache, the assault brigade's attack became much faster.  The people of Baodao, who have always been concerned about this war and have never forgotten their motherland, heard that Nantou was liberated in one day.  When Taichung also fell under the attack of the militia corps, the people on the island who had long been dissatisfied with the domineering Japanese army began to cause trouble for the little devils in groups.  Those officers and soldiers who had children in the city defense army became the source of big trouble for the Japanese troops stationed in the city.  After witnessing the strength of the militia corps, these Taiwanese officers and soldiers who only had food to eat on weekdays quickly launched an uprising in groups.  Or they were simply forcibly called home by the elderly at home, or they refused to cooperate with the Japanese army.Take action, or simply shoot the little devils with black guns in the city.  The Japanese army in Taichung itself lacked effective defenses. Faced with this situation of internal and external troubles, they were quickly defeated by the assault brigade outside the city.  When the first assault team successfully rushed into the Japanese command post in the city and dragged the Japanese commander who was about to commit suicide out of the command post.  The people of Taichung who followed the advance team all the way into the city couldn't help but clapped their hands and applauded when they saw that the Japanese officer who usually bullied them became so embarrassed.  After seeing the officers and soldiers of the Quick Reaction Division rushing into the city one after another and starting to search for the remaining soldiers in the city and the port, many ordinary people who usually resented the Japs acted as guides and informants for these search troops.  The frightened Japanese officers and soldiers who were running around with their heads in their hands were picked up from all corners of Taichung until the situation in the city was under control.  When the two big flags representing China and the militia were raised, the people in Taichung became excited.  After recapturing Taichung, the officers of the Quick Reaction Division who led the attack on Taichung quickly sent a telegram to the headquarters.  As for Wu Zhongyuan, who was in command of Zhennantou, the naval transport ship on standby at sea soon sent a telegram telling them that they could carry out landing operations from the direction of Taichung.  Some Baodao people living in the port seemed a little short-sighted when they saw a large transport and supply ship appearing at the dock.  Especially when they saw those large tanks and armored vehicles that the Japanese army rarely saw in Baodao, the people of Baodao suddenly felt that when did China have such a powerful regular army?  "If it weren't for the familiar skin color and accent of those soldiers, these people would have thought that they were reinforcements from the Japanese army again.  After seeing these soldiers coming ashore, they started to defend and repair the port in an orderly and steady manner.  The people living at the dock also spontaneously organized people to help.  You know, this is the family unit they have been waiting for for a long time!  The landing force itself did need some manpower. After learning about the enthusiasm of the people, it did not agree with the people's enthusiasm for free help.  Instead, let the common people elect a few leaders and select a group of energetic young and middle-aged people to do some hard work for the army.  According to regulations, the militia forces pay certain fees to these people. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wearing that we can still get paid for our work and take care of our meals, these dock people who were usually forced to work as coolies by the Japanese army.  For a moment, I felt that the atmosphere of this army was really different.  It's just that they are usually less concerned about China's affairs being controlled by the Japanese army.  Therefore, many people at the dock do not know that the unit in front of them is from the militia.  It was not until the government officials who came ashore later began to publicize the situation in China and the origin and background of the militia corps to the people in Taichung that they realized that this was a military force that truly served the country and the people.  As the naval reinforcements continued to come ashore and headed to the cities of Baodao, the Japanese commander stationed in Baodao Mansion was completely panicked.  But at this time, they didn't even have a chance to escape.  Even if some people plan to take off their military uniforms and sneak away on ships, the warships cruising on the sea from time to time will escort all the Japanese soldiers and traitors who are disguised and ready to escape back to the treasure island to face the people's trial.  By seven days later, the treasure island had been almost completely recovered, and the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet suffered heavy losses in the battle with the large American aircraft carrier fleet.  When they entered the Chinese waters and prepared to head towards the treasure island, they were ambushed by Chinese submarines one after another.  Looking at the same loss of warships one by one, the Japanese navy that came to the rescue undoubtedly seemed to be full of troops when it launched.  Just when they wanted to move forward, the swarming militia air force completely forced the Japanese navy, which could not afford any more losses, to return home.  The most important thing is that Baodao Mansion, which was the last to be captured, had been completely wiped out by the Marine Corps attacking here at this time.  When the plaster flag at the top of the city was torn down by the militia officers and soldiers, it was replaced by the flag representing China and the militia corps.  Wu Zhongyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Baodao operation, also breathed a long sigh of relief and sent a telegram to Deng Chenggong, who was also looking forward to good news, announcing the recovery of the entire Baodao.  When he learned that Treasure Island had finally been captured and Deng successfully got the telegram, he cheered happily like a child for the first time.  You know, this treasure island that later generations still insists on being independent will finally no longer wander around in this life.  In addition to asking Wu Zhongyuan to temporarily serve as chairman of the military government of Baodao, Deng Chenggong was happy to order the telegraph department of the militia.  Announce to China¡¯s anti-Japanese war soldiers and civilians, as well as the whole world, that the treasure island occupied by the Japanese army for nearly half a century has once again returned to the embrace of China.  From now on, this pearl in the southeast will truly become a member of China.  As soon as the news came out, the Chinese army, which was engaged in a desperate fight with the Japanese army in the south, became more morale and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in front of them.  Facing the fall of the treasure island, their navy also suffered losses in previous battles.The loss was heavy.  Now that there is no way to support them in time, Japan's local senior officials began to consider whether they could negotiate with China to see if there was a chance to buy some time.  Without naval support, the Japanese army in the south will most likely face an isolated and helpless situation.  Therefore, at this time, they are no longer worried about not being able to eat the fat meat of China, but they have to consider how to bring these troops back safely.  The war of aggression against China they launched was considered a complete failure when the treasure island was captured.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
