Chapter 921 The Battle of Nantou (3)
The Wufeng Army can really ensure that these Japanese troops cannot get out. Light machine guns were arranged around the outer military camps, and the covers around the military camps were all cleared at designated locations. Even some obstructed houses were blown up by explosives. It can be said that there was no obstruction within the 40-meter range.
The purpose of Plan a is to concentrate the remaining most of the Japanese soldiers in a relatively strong place in the military camp. When encountering a sudden attack and the attack intensity is strong and weak, it will naturally run towards the weak direction. In addition, the direction of the attack weak is the military camp. The strong defense and firepower points ensure their safety, so that there will be more concentrated people.
The idea of raising the group is undoubtedly revealed here. One side takes the initiative and the other side pursues the last straw. In the end, when the battle in Nantou County is about to go on and the gunfire gradually becomes sparse, the last battle against Nantou is about to begin.
Sakamoto's face was gloomy. He had basically confirmed that the other party's actions were intentional. He was not clear about why they did this. There were so many people gathered in groups and had such a long time to prepare. Why did the other party feel fearless and it was not easy to deal with when there were too many people. This is recognized.
A little worry in his heart made Sakamoto irritable. He looked at his stunned subordinates and shouted loudly: "Dig it quickly, wait for death!"
Sakamoto ordered his men to dig some protective pits for individual soldiers, which was the only thing they could do. The solid soil in the military camp made the excavation particularly unsuccessful. They were just a few shovels, hoes, etc., and the rest were replaced by wooden sticks, branches, etc. The excavation speed could be imagined. It was very slow.
The time was too little, and the gunshots became increasingly sparse. Sakamoto couldn't care about much, so he forced the troops to be distributed around him to arrange a stable position to prevent the troops from attacking suddenly. Next, he left the fate.
In fact, when they were forced into the military camp, the only way was to break out while the Wufeng Army cleared the remaining forces around them. In this case, there might be a glimmer of hope. Now, when the Wufeng Army completely pulled back its hands and prepared to clear such a last stronghold, the battle was over. Yes, this is the most exquisite part of Plan A.
If it were other Chinese troops, or even some elite Japanese troops, it would be difficult to take down the military camp without paying half or even the same amount of sacrifice when attacking the remnants of Sakamoto who had a stable military camp and was preparing to attack the desperately.
But this is Sakamoto's perspective, the perspective of the army except the northwest, not the Northwest Army. In a sense, the strength of the Northwest Army has surpassed the Asian army, even an army with only 300 people. With artillery, they have absolutely strong offensive capabilities. Not to mention a stable military camp, even if they are carefully constructed positions, as long as they are not permanent positions with reinforced concrete structures, they cannot resist the attack from the Northwest.
Dozens of artillery, followed them and arrived outside the county town, and were not brought in because during the night battle, artillery can be used in a small number of places, and there is also the risk of accidental injury. There are snipers of special forces, and there is no need to consider the opponent's firepower point. Even if the mortar is light, it is heavier than ordinary firearms, not to mention the shells. The shells of each artillery are added together, not a small number.
These artillery were placed outside and taken care of by the outside personnel. Now, except for a small number of people guarding the surroundings of the military camp to prevent these Japanese soldiers from running out, the rest are clearing out the Japanese armed forces inside the county town, and are also approaching the end of the battle, responsible for guarding the soldiers around the military camp, and by the way, they wait for artillery.
Liu Ye also returned to the side of the military camp. The black military camp was not clear with the naked eye, but in Liu Ye's eyes, these people were dead. The troops scattered into Nantou have begun to tighten the military camp. Some less important places have been handed over to the Wufeng Army. The overall situation has been controlled. There is no need to be on the periphery. It is only necessary to protect several cities. Even if it is a surprise attack, it is impossible to wipe out all of them. Running a few will not damage the final results. Moreover, according to the current situation, there is almost no escape.
The 200 guards the Wufeng Army outside, leaving about 60 people, responsible for the four city gates of the card owner, the remaining ones carried mortars and entered the city. The mortars placed in special boxes were also placed in special boxes. Under the control of skilled gunners, all preparations were completed in less than 10 minutes, three types of mortars were arranged, and 6 positions were arranged, with a total of 60 artillery aimed at the military camp.
Mortar operators range from 2 people to 5 people. The Wufeng Army is not able to prepare fully, with an average of 3 people per gun. Except for the elite gunners who come from the northwest, the rest are all from the Wufeng Army who are trained in urgently. Fortunately, the aiming and most of the operations are done by veterans from the northwest, and the hit rate and firing rate are not low.
There are about 10 doors in each place, and the portability and universality of the mortars are undoubtedly displayed. As long as there is a small yard, the 10 cannons can be placed, and the rest are to prepare for attack signals.
The 60 guns, including 20 mortars of each type, have a total of 3,000 shells, which is equivalent to 50 rounds of each gun. Such an attack intensity can also be attacked, not to mention a small military camp, a fortress guarded by heavy troops. Not to mention a temporary construction and low defense, more than 1,200 armed personnel gathered in less than 2,000 square meters. With such a density of 2 square meters, isn’t it a place where artillery rage?
The 60 guns were arranged in different directions of the military camp. The farthest distance was only more than 200 meters, and the closest was only about 120 meters. The curved trajectory of the mortar allowed it to launch an attack at a close range. 200 meters was the best. The opponent even had few machine guns. The tall outer wall of the military camp covered the shooting range of machine guns and rifles. In addition, the carefully designed positions and the blocked houses, the Japanese army inside had to go up to the wall if they wanted to threaten the Wufeng Army on the periphery.
This is the only choice, and the most unselectable one. It really needs to be put on the wall. When the special forces in the northwest are decorations and the solid exterior walls can be put on people, it is a bit difficult to stand, let alone set up firepower points. The weakness of the Japanese military camp design was perfectly controlled by the northwest, and what awaited them was destruction.
Looking down at the watch, Liu Ye nodded slightly: "Time is up!"
That's right, the time has come, and it's time to harvest these tyrants. Although the Japanese army stationed in Taiwan was just a division with more than 20,000 people, each of them was covered with the blood of the Taiwanese people. If it is not completely counted, since Japan occupied Taiwan in 1895, Taiwan's resistance has never stopped. Not to mention the uprising of this massive Luo Fuxing and Wufeng Army, just talk about the great uprising of the three major anti-Japanese righteous men, starting from 1895, the massive uprising of Japan made Japan's rule in Taiwan exhausted, and even gave up Taiwan for money.
100 million yen is a huge wealth for individuals, but for countries, it is not too much for Japan or France.
It is precisely because of Taiwan's turmoil that since the Japanese occupation of Taiwan, Taiwan's rule was militarized management. Taiwan's executives were also the supreme leader of the military. Any disturbance and resistance was the most violent means. Incomplete statistics, there were hundreds of large-scale massacres recorded in history, with a total of as many as 600,000, but unknown and unknown to the Japanese side.
Because of this, when facing the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan, after knowing some of the secret texts from Taiwan through special channels, Liu Ye chose the most cruel method, and did not accept prisoners as much as possible, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood.
The adjutant behind him took out a pistol, a special pistol equipped with a large-caliber signal flare, and fired three shots in a row at the sky.
Against the dark night sky, it looked particularly charming. Three red signal flares, like bright stars, illuminated the night sky, as if they were a sad and beautiful scroll. The sudden appearance of the red signal flares also trembled Sakamoto's heart. He knew that it might be the other party's attack horn, so he had time to give him a command: "Everyone is on guard and prepare to charge!" But next, what they greeted was not the soldiers charging forward, but the whistling shells.
There is always such an inequality between people and steel. It is distributed around the military camp, with 6 artillery positions. When I saw the blood-red and blood-red signal flares in the sky, the commander ordered at one time: "Everyone has it, prepare, release!"
Accompanied by the officer's order, 60 mortars almost sprayed flames together. When skilled gunners operated the mortars, they could reach a distance of more than 25 rounds per minute and 200 meters. When aiming at the shooting elements, they could freely play and the speed was faster.
In the dark night, the Japanese army seemed to hear a strange whooshing sound. Cannons? But can artillery be fired at such a close distance? The sound seemed too small. Even they were not equipped with artillery. Could these Taiwanese mobs be?
The distance of 200 meters can be reached in almost a few seconds for the mortar. When the first shell fell, blood and fire kept rising in the military camp, screams one after another.
The barracks locked the scene inside and isolated most of the screams. With the bombardment of artillery, the screams became less and less. However, the gunners still fired shells again and again according to the plan and orders. The dense artillery fire was set up. Even if the area was already set, there were too many in a short time and too concentrated artillery fire, and even shells collided in the air. However, more shells hit the barracks.
The gunners could not hear the sound more than a hundred meters away, nor could they see the scene inside. Even if they heard it, the strict training allowed them to ignore this point. They mechanically followed the established plan and shot the shells into the military camp from different angles and directions. The last battle to attack Nantou was destined to end from the beginning. (To be continued...)
