At the first moment, Sakuma Zuo Mata naturally thought of the Northwest Army. The Japanese local army mobilized a full mobilization and went to Shandong to fight the Northwest Army to fight the Northwest Army. He knew that the Army Department was preparing to mobilize half of the Taiwan Army's division to increase its strength. Sakuma Zuo Mata refused. As a general who was promoted in 1898, he was absolutely qualified among the old qualifications. Even the orders of the Army Department could be returned. The reason for rejecting the Army Department was very simple. Taiwan is not upset. In fact, now Taiwan has been put down. He has ambition to completely slapped Taiwan, so he chose this, but unexpectedly, he really fought by accident. Somehow, he lost a corps. (.)

The staff and staff below did not agree on this judgment of the Northwest Army, but most of them did not think that the Northwest had come over, because the reason was that the Northwest did not have the conditions and ability to land. Besides, it was really the Northwest who fought. Putting the border, the counties near the coast of Fujian did not fight, but instead attacked Nantou, a place full of mountains and fields, which could not be explained.

In the eyes of the Japanese Army, the Northwest did not have the ability to land in Taiwan. In fact, after the Battle of Shandong, they were all warned and made certain defenses, but they were all in form. They had no idea that the Northwest had secretly sent a team of hundreds of people and dozens of tons of supplies to Taiwan together.

The other side has a very good reason. There is no direct report on the battle between Nantou and Wuzhuang. It is just that the time is roughly known through estimates. However, the battle between Inoue United was real, and he didn't even know where the opponent was. He was so cold-shot. Whose kind of person has such combat power and such combat power in Asia, but the northwest is one of them. He still has direct conflicts with Japan. Now that he has declared war, he has the most reason to attack Taiwan.

I couldn't figure it out, both sides were quite reasonable. No one could convince anyone, but one thing was confirmed, and the other party did not look back too much. The entire meeting was discussed without any result. However, when Hua Ze came back, including the top leaders above the Taiwan Army Corps Commander, they all gathered in the conference room of the Governor's Office. Hua Ze Ze knew very well what Sakuma Zuo Mata was going to do. This time he went to Taichung, not only visited most of the officers and some surviving ones, but basically restored most of the process of this battle.

When Huaze was finished speaking, everyone didn't speak for a long time. It was not until a long time when someone interrupted the calmness of the conference room and said, "It can't be a mob!" Deputy Governor-General and Chief of the Civil Affairs of Taiwan, Matsupita Wu Ze said loudly that he was a civil affairs official but came from the army, and other officers made the same judgment.

"That is to say, it is a regular army, and the closest to Nantou is Wufeng. The Lin family there is very restless recently. Could it be the revolutionary party?"

"It's not the revolutionary party, Luo Fuxing's position in the revolutionary party is far above Lin Zumi. His support disappeared after our protests. This is also the fundamental reason why Luo Fuxing's uprising was so popular in the past two years. But now, there is almost no influence!"

"So it will be the northwest?" Sakuma Zuo Matthew once again proposed the northwest road.

Now, even the most resolute rebuttals in the past were not sure. After glanced around, Sakuma Zuo Mata looked at his subordinates and said indignantly: "It is only them, because their strength is limited and they can only come up with a small force. This is probably a large-scale unfortunately and cannot be allowed to develop them, otherwise, our Taiwan will be completely in chaos."

Sakuma Zuo Matthew's words were recognized by everyone. Most officers felt that this might be the arrival of a small group of elite troops in the northwest. This almost showed the real reason. The northwest attacked the Japanese fleet in Shandong, causing almost most of the naval joint fleet to sink. In addition, three divisions of the army were besieged. The northwest was the biggest enemy for Japan, and even the Taiwanese army also empathized with it.

"I don't care about the Army Department, but Taiwan cannot be lost!" Sakuma Zuo Matho had already set the main tone. Next, he discussed how to deal with the Northwest Army. They didn't know that although the judgment was correct, the data they knew was greatly reduced. They regarded the Northwest Army special forces attacking the Inoue Regiment as the whole of the Northwest Army.

Even with such deviations, Sakuma Zuo Matho was still struggling with a large number of senior officers and formulated a plan to deal with this matter. No matter what, since the Northwest Army came and got along with the Wufeng Army, it would definitely be a big concern. If you are not careful, if you develop it by the other party, the problem would be much bigger.

Finally, after two hours of negotiations, the final result came out. All the Taiwanese troops dispatched 5 companies, 19,000 people, plus tens of thousands of military and police and 20,000 second-line troops. This was almost all the armed forces under the control of Zuo Matthew Sakuma. After being sent out, even near the Governor's Office in Taipei, there were only two small guard forces and some armed expatriates.

The total number of Taiwanese troops has reached 50,000. Such a huge number is definitely the first time in the history of Japan's control of Taiwan. Tens of thousands of troops may have dealt with dozens of people or more than one hundred opponents, this is simply a killer. However, this decision was passed by everyone. No matter how proud the Japanese army is, they would not think that one company can do it well. If one is not good, just like the Inoue Company, it will be defeated by the opponent and may even lose your life.

The Japanese war machine in Taiwan started to move, and he immediately devoted all his power to Taiwan. The only pity is that the incomplete intelligence system and the Japanese control of Taiwan. The Wufeng Army did not know about this. If we knew, if we didn’t talk about Taiwan, the northwest would directly send a fleet from Qingdao to attack Taipei, occupy Taipei, an important port, and lay a good foundation for the liberation of Taiwan.

Later, when everything was settled, I looked through the combat plans of both sides and found such an important opportunity, but that was something I would like to mention later.

Japan has already done its best to suppress all its troops and go all out to deal with the Wufeng Army. Even the entire Taiwan Army has been used. However, Liu Ye is very clear that he annihilated almost one regiment and accumulated more than 3,000 enemies. No occupier would ignore this, let alone the cruel Japanese. It can be imagined that the Japanese will inevitably retaliate, and the degree of revenge will be very tragic.

Not only will it involve the place where Wu Peak is, it will even cause ordinary people to crisis. This can be clearly seen from Luo Fuxing's uprising that when the Japanese cannot catch the rebel army, they will often pour their anger on ordinary people. Perhaps at the beginning, because the Luo Fuxing tribe did not annihilate, they will slightly restrain themselves. However, when the Luo Fuxing tribe gradually declined and there was no power, these Japanese troops showed their fangs. During the two years of uprising, there were more than 30 massacres of all sizes recorded in history. The closest four times are now, the minimum number of massacres was about 1,000, and the maximum number is more than 3,200.

Whether it was the Northwest Army's tips before coming or the Taiwan's bloody lesson, before fighting against Nantou, Liu Ye was mentally prepared for this. The temporary stronghold was in the mountains, but not in the deep mountains in the central mountains. Before the war began, Liu Ye ordered to find a more suitable base, and of course the location was larger, because there would definitely be many people in the past, with high mountains and dense forests. At least, when entering from outside the mountain, it would not be possible to enter quickly. Cannons, machine guns, etc., it was difficult to get in. Third, of course, it was easy to defend and attack.

There must be such places in the mountainous areas in the central part. Take Yushan for example. There are hundreds of kilometers of continuous mountains and forests, and there must be valleys similar to deep mountains and old forests. Even in the history of later generations, after Japan occupied Taiwan for decades, the indigenous people still did not clean it up. There are even hundreds of tribes in the deep mountains and forests. What troubles them is not the area of ​​land, but food.

Is the Wufeng Army short of food now? Even if the entire Wufeng District personnel entered the deep mountains, the food was enough for about 100,000 people to eat for more than half a year. As for half a year, not to mention that there are places where food can be grown in the mountains, it is really short of food. Go down the mountain to grab it. Whether it is the reconnaissance company or special forces, small-scale combat and enemy-behind combat are the places they are best at, the least, and the support of the mainland is Liu Ye and the others, behind him, is the entire northwest.

By the way, Lin Long and the others were also responsible for convincing the people and moving to the mountains and forests together. Near Wu Peak, there were more than 30 villages of all sizes, including dozens of households, more than one hundred people, more than three hundred households, thousands of people, more than 30 villages, and at least more than 30,000 people. Some of these people have close ties with the Lin family, while others have a far-reaching relationship with the Lin family. It is extremely difficult to convince them.

They are all their own compatriots, and in the future, they will become the foundation of the future in Taiwan. They are not only soldiers, but also grassroots workers, but they cannot be slaughtered by the Japanese in vain. The blood of the Chinese has already flowed too much and should not continue to flow.

But even Liu Ye did not expect that the Japanese would react so much and so quickly. From the news of the Inoue Regiment came out, to the Japanese sent troops, including the few days after going to Taichung to confirm the situation of the Inoue Regiment, it took a total of 8 days for the Japanese to send troops. With more than 50,000 troops, they directly overwhelmed Taichung and rushed to Wufeng. (To be continued.)
