The news that the 117th Regiment was destroyed without a northwest attack was soon transmitted from Liu Ye to another position to deal with the two brigades. The Wufeng Army distributed its troops equally and divided most of the remaining troops into two parts. The matter of the 117th Regiment also had to be considered. After all, there was a regular Japanese army in the regiment that had not been killed all of them. If they rushed out, it would be troublesome.

Even if Liu Ye said confidently that he could block the 117th Regiment, but who can guarantee that there is no such thing as the army, and if this idea is in mind, it is natural that he does not give his all in the arrangement.

But now, after getting the news that the 117th Regiment had been annihilated, the two parts began to increase their strength, and the artillery on Pingding Mountain was no longer retained. The 12 guns aimed at a brigade and beat them hard. The new 108 in the northwest was referenced by Krupp's new 108, and the materials from the northwest were added, semi-loading and pipe retreat systems, both in terms of firing rate and range, were improved by a certain level than the world's first-class one. It was almost equivalent to 155. In the mountains and forests, the unprotected infantry faced such artillery, plus a unit of 600 people, and more than 60 mortars, the average artillery density was extremely high.

The difference between the second-line troops and the front-line troops is hard power, and the soft power is greater. Without systematic training, perhaps in the face of the wind, following the charge may not be much worse than the front-line troops. However, when facing artillery attacks, if you choose the appropriate position to reduce the casualty rate, these second-line troops are far behind.

In itself, when the heavy artillery was not aimed at them all and the mortars were not fully fired, they were under great pressure and could hardly stop the impact of the Wufeng Army. Now, the entire heavy firepower was tilted towards this side, and with the Wufeng Army's firepower was fully fired, they could not stop them at all.

Under the strong pressure of the Wufeng Army, the most concentrated part of the 3,000 people were directly wiped out, and most of the remaining ones were defeated. The northwest was ruthless in the northwest, chasing the butt and beating it without a single result, and never giving up. This second-line army had withstood such a powerful attack. The heavy artillery came over and did not lie on the ground to prevent fragmentation, but to run around like a headless fly, and the number of casualties soared.

I wanted to run out, but was blocked by the Wufeng Army. In just three days, battles of all sizes occurred hundreds of times, and the special forces were like fish in water, constantly fighting guerrillas in the mountains. They fired cold guns. This brigade that was attacked was blocked in such a comprehensive attack. In the end, as they fled, they went deeper and deeper into the mountains.

The central mountain range is huge and long, but there are more than 20 main peaks with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The most important thing is that this place has never been the scope of the Japanese army. Even the plains have not been completely controlled by the Taiwan government. The mountainous areas are forbidden areas, and this place belongs to the territory of the indigenous people.

Japan spared no effort to suppress Taiwan. It not only targeted the Han people, but also targeted the indigenous people. The former Inoue Regiment stayed in Nantou for a long time to clear out the indigenous people. There were also more than a dozen tribes who were wiped out by him. The hatred between the indigenous people and the Japanese was poured out in all directions. These fled in a hurry, some with guns, some with bullets, some with bullets, some with guns, some with nothing, and even threw down their military uniforms.

Such defeated troops were scattered into the mountains hundreds of kilometers, and were not all the dishes of the indigenous people.

In fact, in the next few months, the indigenous people wiped out more than 2,000 Japanese troops and seized various property and supplies. As for the 198th Brigade, they finally escaped and successfully returned to Taipei, with only 78 people, and more than half were injured.

A brigade with more than 7,000 people was left, which was considered to be extremely clean and completely wiped out. The attack on the 199th Brigade of another brigade was also very fierce. However, without the cooperation of heavy artillery, it was defeated and the more than 2,000 people were wiped out on the spot. The rest began to escape. Wei Ming led his troops to chase after him for 7 days, biting off their strength bit by bit like a wolf. Especially on the seventh day, he had completed the combat mission against the 198th Brigade, and transferred more than 400 soldiers in good condition, successfully encircled the remnants of the 199th Brigade in the place where Nantou entered the Central Mountains. Less than 3,000 Japanese troops scattered, half of which were completely wiped out, and the rest, either hid in the mountains, ran out and ran to Nantou.

Compared with the 198th Brigade, the ending of the 199th Brigade was a little better. Most of the cadres were annihilated and most of the personnel lost. In the end, more than 800 people returned to Nantou, ten times that of 198, but compared with the original staffing, almost one out of ten was left.

Under such circumstances, a battle with a time span of nearly 20 days, with more than 700 battles accumulated. The Wufeng Army once again wiped out 17,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese sent the vanguard force headed by the 117th Regiment, and only the remaining defeated soldiers were left, and they were almost cleaned up in an organization.

In the battle of mountains and forests, hundreds of people escaped the disaster and escaped. The core 117th Regiment did not run out, and the second-line 199 ran out the most. They told the combat effectiveness of the Wufeng Army. From then on, the Wufeng Army made a statement in the Taiwan Army that it was tremendous. Even the news that the Wufeng Army had heavy artillery spread.

Heavy artillery, especially heavy artillery over 100 mm, has a very obvious effect on the army's lifting effect. Whether there is or not, these are completely different concepts. If we said that the Wufeng Army was a mob, at most a small group of regular troops, they were moving in the mountains and it was difficult to cross the mountains and enter the outside. However, now it seems that with unknown amounts of heavy artillery, plus the people who migrated from Nantou and Wufeng, as long as they train a little, a combat force comparable to the Japanese military brigade or even divisions will appear.

There are several categories of Japanese divisions, including Guard Division, main division, second-line division and colonial division. Among them, the colonial division is the weakest. Although it occupies Japan's permanent organization, it is very different from the ones in front of them, from weapons, personnel, and even the combat allocations of the division itself.

There were 18,000 people, and there was not much time, almost all of them were wiped out. None of the 117th Regiment ran out. The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, so they could not stay here for more.

The direct result was that the two wings stationed in Nantou and some second- and third-tier troops immediately began to shrink and returned to Wufeng. They met with the two wings that were originally left here, forming a 38,000 armed force, and the regular Japanese army had more than 15,000 military forces. They also sent a message of help to Taipei through the fixed telegram line on Wufeng, demanding to return to Taichung.

Taichung is the base camp in the central region. In a sense, the protection is more tight and there are a lot of support from other forces. Unlike here, Wufeng and Nantou, even the people have run away, let alone the direct support force.

The telegram from Nantou was sent directly to the Governor General's Office of Taiwan, which immediately caused a sensation. The previous Inoue Regiment was annihilated, which had already caused the entire Taiwan army to chaos. For this reason, the Governor of Taiwan chose to use thunder to directly attack Nantou, attack Wufeng, and strive to kill Wufeng's army. However, the five regiments and more than 60,000 armed forces went to the central part, but there were even greater bad news. Now it is not only the 117th Regiment that has problems, but the two second-tier brigades that have followed him have also had problems.

18,000 people, which is almost one-third of Taiwan's existing armed forces. They were all killed in less than 20 days. There were even heavy artillery on the Wufeng Army. What does this mean? The Governor had suspected that the uprising in Taiwan was not so large in scale and not so strong in combat. How could a regular wing like the Inoue United, which had nearly 4,000 people, be killed by the Wufeng Army so easily?

The incident of the 117th Regiment this time proves this. In the entire Asia, those who have the ability to launch heavy artillery of more than 100 mm to Taiwan are the UK, France, the United States and other countries. In principle, these countries support Japan. Britain, France and Japan are alliances of the Allies. As for the United States, their views and tendencies are more inclined to the Allies.

After weighing the trade-offs, the great powers had no reason to support the Taiwan uprising, so there was only one possibility. They were declaring war on Japan, forming a direct Northwest Army in Shandong, and a relationship with Japan was declared war with Japan. He was very likely to draw forces and enter Taiwan from Fujian.

Then, it is very likely that the regular army of the Northwest Army will land on Taiwan. What does this mean? It represents the loophole in Taiwan. There are only one or two thousand people now, and maybe ten or two thousand people in the future. The governor is very clear about how much combat effectiveness the Taiwan Army has. He doesn’t know much about the Northwest Army, so he can make the local troops devote all the entire Army’s standing division. The Northwest Army has no choice but to fight. Their combat effectiveness is above them.

The governor directly agreed, and the return of the remaining four regiments, even the second-tier troops were no exception. All returned to Taichung, leaving a small number of the second-tier troops to protect Taichung, and the rest returned to Taipei urgently. On the other hand, he opened the armory and recruited personnel in a large manner.

After Japan occupied Taiwan, Taiwan has always been militarized and managed, and high-pressure policies have been adopted in terms of policies. The firearms replaced over the years and the firearms transported from the country have been piled up in the armory except for replacements. Now they have been all released. A large number of Japanese expatriates have been recruited from the Japanese expatriates, and a team of at least 40,000 people have been temporarily raised.

While pulling the team, by the way, ask for help from the local government. For the governor of Taiwan, when the Northwest intervenes in it, this is no longer a matter of the Taiwan army, but a matter of the entire Japanese government. (To be continued.)
