Chapter 334: A Trip to Alishan (2)
On February 12, it was the Spring Festival, a traditional Chinese festival once a year, and in the past few days, due to the appearance of Lin Junxiong, the Japanese had to adopt a high-pressure policy, and the people of Taiwan were also shrouded in a bloody terror. But with the advent of the Spring Festival, this atmosphere was slowly replaced by festivities, and the Japanese had to relax some of their vigilance in order to avoid provoking greater public anger.
All kinds of signs show that Lin Junxiong and others have fled to Alishan, and Akai Naomasa wants to mobilize all the nearby troops to encircle and suppress it with all his might, but Ando Rikishi's reminder calms him down. Lin Junxiong caused great damage to the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan, but what is even more fatal is that the anti-Japanese sentiment in various places has revived, and if Alishan is attacked with all his might, there will definitely be instability in the rear.
In a dilemma, Akai Naomasa could only choose to deploy his troops in the county near Alishan, hoping to trap Lin Junxiong and then look for opportunities.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the headquarters of the Volunteer Corps did not have a celebratory atmosphere, but seemed a little nervous. Lin Junxiong was retained by Li Youbang and decided to stay first to help the Volunteer Corps fight the first battle of their comeback.
"There is a continuous jade mountain on the east side of Ali Mountain, it is impossible for devils to venture from the jade mountain, this side is safe. Our battle was mainly concentrated in three directions, the Jianan area west of Alishan, Kaohsiung and Tainan south of Alishan, and Yunlin and Nantou north of Alishan. ”
Lin Junxiong studied the terrain near Alishan for two days and worked out this battle plan, because he didn't know the detailed deployment of the Japanese army everywhere, he could only randomly look for the main attack point, everyone listened carefully to Lin Junxiong's battle plan, and some people seemed to have guessed Lin Junxiong's next arrangement, and began to nod in admiration.
"I think I've guessed my intentions with some slackness, but that's what I've proposed, both true and false, and what is in a strategy. After fifteen detachments on three sides are in place, they will launch an attack on the devil's stronghold or county seat at the same time at 0:00 tonight, but they must not rush forward, they only need to surround but not fight, the main stronghold or county town will be attacked, and if a small group of troops nearby rush to reinforce it, the brothers can practice their hands and destroy them by the way. ”
Li Youbang nodded and said: "This should be a fake in Brother Lin's eight-character strategy, pretending to attack everywhere, so that the devils can't find the direction of our attack, and they don't dare to make rash moves, and by the way, use the devil's reinforcements to let the brothers practice and increase their actual combat experience." ”
"Captain Li is right, that's exactly what it means, the next thing is that the main attack detachment will go all out to take the main attack site, and then withdraw in the direction of the nearest detachment, and at the same time the other detachments will also quickly evacuate, I think the devil found that only one place is the main attack, and the other direction is a feint, and he must be angry and come out to pursue. In this case, it should not be difficult for the main attack detachment to merge with the auxiliary attack detachment to eliminate the pursuing devil troops, and finally all the detachments withdrew to Alishan to wait for the next attack. ”
As soon as Lin Junxiong finished speaking, Li Youbang took the lead in applauding, Lin Junxiong's true and false, and also divided and combined, it is indeed wonderful, so that not only can the surrounding devils be hit hard, but also let the devils have to mobilize troops from other places to come to the vicinity of Alishan, if the devils dare to attack Alishan from one side, we can give the devils a hard blow from other directions, if the devils dare to attack in an all-round way, we can also concentrate all our strength to defeat the devils in one direction. ”
Lin Junxiong smiled and nodded, now that the Japanese army is facing an unfavorable situation everywhere, and Taiwan is making trouble again, Japan, which is already overstretched, will be even worse.
Lian Yue stepped forward gratefully and shook Lin Junxiong's hand and said: "The eight-character strategy of the Northern God of War in Taiwan will reverse the anti-Japanese situation in Taiwan in one fell swoop, we thank you!" ”
Li Youbang also stepped forward with a smile and said: "We want to thank the Japanese for forcing Brother Lin and his party to Alishan, Taiwan's anti-Japanese event can be expected." ”
Lin Junxiong and the two of them said a few polite words, and he was also sure in his heart that if this operation was successful, Taiwan's anti-Japanese situation would enter a new pattern, "Captain Li, even the chief of staff, Junxiong also gave a thin gift this time, the ten elite commandos I brought plus Fang Yun and Da Zhuang, let them lead the team, your nearly 100-person warrior team is divided into twelve teams, I hope that a battle can make your warrior team grow up and become a real sharp knife!" ”
Li Youbang was so excited that he couldn't speak, and stepped forward to grab Lin Junxiong's hand and hold it tightly. In the past two days, he has been shocked to see the elite commandos brought by Lin Junxiong to guide the warriors of the Volunteer Corps, and he has heard Lin Junxiong say this, he knows that his brothers will usher in an opportunity to improve in an all-round way.
At ten o'clock in the evening, under the leadership of Fang Yun, Da Zhuang and the elite commando, and with the assistance of the scouts on the periphery of the Volunteer Corps, the various detachments of the warrior team quickly destroyed the monitoring troops on the periphery of the devils.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the detachments of the Warriors arrived at the planned attack sites, and after some reconnaissance, they determined the important military installations to be attacked.
The sky is beautiful, and a cold crescent moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling bright colors on the earth, so that the detachments of the Volunteer Corps can take advantage of the night to advance.
The bell rang at zero o'clock, and the people were immersed in the jubilant sound of the old and the new firecrackers, but the explosion of the firecrackers was mixed with some imperceptible loud noises, and some screams were covered by the louder jubilation, until the gunshots rang out, and the angry devils strafed the gathered crowd, and the people hid back to their homes in panic.
After the work of the underground party was completed, the people took to the streets to celebrate the arrival of the new year with joy, disrupting the arming of the devils, and when they found the dense gunfire outside the city, they hurried to the fortifications.
Akai Naomasa had prayed that the bad luck of the old year would soon dissipate and the good fortune of the new year would continue, but the cruel truth made him feel terrible, and fifteen places in the northwest and south of Alishan were attacked at the same time, and each place claimed to have encountered the main force of the anti-Japanese forces, numbering no less than 2,000 people.
He was shocked and frustrated, and couldn't figure out where this anti-Japanese army of no less than 30,000 people suddenly appeared, originally thought that the anti-Japanese troops in Alishan had already been wiped out, and he had relaxed his vigilance in the past two years, but he didn't expect that someone would silently organize such a large team in Alishan.
What to do? Honest reporting upwards? Ando Toshikichi's army general won because he wiped out Taiwan's anti-Japanese forces and controlled the situation in Taiwan relatively well; if he reported it truthfully, it would be equivalent to Ando Toshikichi slapping himself in the face, and if the military department knew about it, Ando Toshikichi might even be punished.
What about yourself? In the past two years, he has reported to Ando Toshikichi that he has been singing and dancing everywhere, and if there are really so many anti-Japanese troops, and he has not been aware of it, then he can imagine his tragic fate.
Akai Naomasa's chaotic thoughts struggled for a long time, and only then did he clench his fists and make up his mind, temporarily conceal the situation here, immediately mobilize more troops, and in the name of encircling and suppressing Lin Junxiong and others, all the anti-Japanese forces in Alishan were wiped out.
Everywhere was attacked, but the other side didn't seem to have any intention of storming or occupying these important positions, Akai Naomasa was puzzled, praying that he would hold on everywhere and wait for reinforcements to arrive, so that he could destroy the attacking troops, but his luck was really bad, and everything went in the opposite direction of him.
First, some troops near the attacked strongholds went to reinforce them, but they were routed and even wiped out in several places; Immediately afterwards, one of the three sides of the north, south, and west was violently attacked, and the strongholds were occupied, and only a small number of troops escaped in all three places, and in less than an hour, the Japanese troops near Alishan suffered nearly 5,000 casualties.
Akai Naomasa spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in a hurry, fainted, everyone at the scene was in a panic, and the continuous instructions sent from everywhere made the officers not know how to respond, and they were forced to be anxious, the chief of staff of the 322nd Division ordered all the places to attack, he did not believe that there would really be so many anti-Japanese troops.
At 1:45 a.m. on February 13, when three troops were reported to be ambushed and asked for reinforcements, the chief of staff first ordered nearby troops to rush to reinforcements, and then sat down in disbelief, and his own disbelief put the three troops in a desperate situation.
Not long after, the news of the elimination of the three troops came, and Akai Naomasa slowly woke up under the rescue of the doctor, although the doctor told him not to be stimulated again, but such a big thing happened, coupled with the continued pursuit of troops everywhere, I don't know if there will be a danger of being annihilated, several officers discussed it or decided to tell him about it.
After listening to the current situation, Akai Naomasa walked up to the chief of staff with blood-red eyes, took out a pistol and shot him dead, and then ordered the troops everywhere to return to their respective defensive positions.
On February 13, when the first dawn shone on Alishan, all the detachments of the Volunteer Corps returned to Alishan with joy, and the cheers echoed throughout Alishan.
The Volunteer Corps annihilated nearly 10,000 devils in the first battle, but lost less than 500 people, and this brilliant victory is enough to be recorded in the history of Taiwan's resistance against Japan. When the underground party comrades heard the news that Akai Naomasa had been angry to death, Lin Junxiong, Li Youbang and others discussed for a while and decided to take advantage of the enemy's panic to pursue the victory.
In the next two days, the artillery fire of the Japanese stronghold near Alishan continued, and more than 10,000 devils were eliminated.
When Lao Chiang questioned Li Youbang, Li Youbang frankly admitted that he was a member of the Communist Party and that the Volunteer Corps was a unit led by the Chinese Communist Party.
When the Volunteer Corps was renamed the Taiwan Column of the New Fourth Army according to the instructions of the Party Central Committee, Hayashi Junxiong and his brothers embarked on the return journey back to the Ryukyus.
