Liu Yongfu said: "Brother Chuanqing, now that Chiayi City has been taken down by us, what are you going to do next?" ”

Ling Chuanqing's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Gather the army, let's rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow in Taichung!" ”

Liu Yongfu was taken aback and asked, "Attack Taichung?" Do we have enough troops? After all, we were caught off guard by the Japanese army, and now that the Japanese army has lost Chiayi, it will definitely deploy heavy troops in Taichung. ”

Ling Chuanqing said with a smile: "Old general, I know, and I think that within two days, the latest report of the Japanese army will arrive at the base camp of Japan, but I am afraid that it will not be long, and the Japanese army will be going to our Taiwan, and at that time, the Japanese army in Taiwan will have 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is definitely not comparable to our current strength." ”

Liu Yongfu hurriedly said: "Brother Chuanqing, what you said is not true, if the Japanese army comes with another 20,000 or 30,000 people, then we will still have a fart in this battle, and all our troops together will be less than 20,000; ”

Ling Chuanqing sighed and said, "Old general, as the saying goes, if the skin does not have hair, it will be attached? Now you have also seen that the imperial court signed the "Baoding Treaty" with Tsarist Russia, and handed over the entire three eastern provinces and Mongolia to Tsarist Russia, and now the entire eastern three provinces are facing the attack of Tsarist Russia and Japan, Tsarist Russia has no less than 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers in Heilongjiang, and now there are 30,000 Japanese troops in Jilin, and then to the south, on the border of China and North Korea, there are now four divisions of the Japanese army 670,000 people are fighting fiercely with the third and fourth divisions of Fengtian, and in Shanhaiguan, there are more than 30,000 Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry, who are fighting with the commander of the Bagen division. The three eastern provinces are facing the threat of the four battlefields of Russia and Japan, and the pressure is too great, and if Japan wants to increase its troops in Korea, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the three eastern provinces to support it. After all, most of Taiwan is now occupied by the Japanese army, and they will definitely not be willing to let us occupy it, and increasing troops is an inevitable trend. Only by reducing the military pressure on the three eastern provinces, and then defeating Japan and Russia, can we have enough ability to expel Japan and recover Taiwan! Otherwise, everything is empty talk, and it is simply unrealistic to rely on 20,000 people to defeat Japan's 100,000 elite soldiers. ”

Liu Yongfu gasped, there was still so much thought in it, he also knew that the situation facing the three eastern provinces was very grim now, but he didn't expect it to be so grim, the combined strength of Russia and Japan has almost exceeded 200,000, and the three eastern provinces can only compete with these tens of thousands of troops?

Liu Yongfu thought of Ling Chuanqing's words to attract Japanese troops to Taiwan, his face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Brother Chuanqing, do you want to use these 20,000 Black Flag troops as bait to attract the Japanese army's follow-up troops to Korea?" This, this, how many people will my Black Flag Army soldiers sacrifice; ”

Ling Chuanqing sighed and said, "Old general, think about it, if there is no general in us, can you hold Taiwan just by relying on your strength?" Now, as long as we can contain a certain number of Japanese troops for Mukden, and our generals can defeat or repel the invasion of Russia and Japan, a small Taiwan, can we still not hold it, big deal, we mobilize 20,000 elites to come over, I don't believe that with the help of the people of Taiwan, we can't drive away the Japanese army? ”

Liu Yongfu lowered his head gloomily, yes, he felt sorry for his subordinates, but think about it, without Zhang Yi's generous help, his Black Flag Army would have become history long ago, this war, if Zhang Yi can really help with all his strength and recover Taiwan, it is definitely not a dream, what is the dream of the Black Flag Army, the Black Flag Army, the Black Flag Army, isn't it to defend Taiwan and repel the Japanese invaders, for the sake of Taiwan's long-term peace, the loss will be lost, and it will be ten times more than a hundred times to the Japanese army in the future!

Liu Yongfu gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Brother Chuanqing, the old man will support you in this battle, and I will put all my value on you;!" In the future, you don't want to be cannon fodder in Fengtian and ignore Taiwan. ”

Ling Chuanqing laughed and said: "Old general, what did you say, if that's the case, how good it would be that I didn't come to Taiwan at the beginning, but I am also a brigade commander, with five or six thousand brothers under my command, and now Mukden is forming the seventh and eighth divisions, if I am in Mukden, the position of this division commander, I hold it firmly in my hands, ask why I came here, not for Taiwan, for us Chinese not to be enslaved and humiliated by Japan?" Lao Tzu will not take back Taiwan, and he will definitely not leave here! ”

Subsequently, Ling Chuanqing led the army to attack Taichung, and the entire Taichung and Taipei were shaken, and the Japanese army in Taiwan now has only about 10,000 people, and it is still necessary to leave a part of the uprising in Taiwan to suppress the local uprising, which can be used to defend Taichung, only four or five thousand people, and the situation in Taichung is becoming more and more critical.

One after another, the Japanese army's telegrams were waved to the base camp, asking the base camp to mobilize a large army to come, otherwise, Taiwan may really not be able to hold it.

Tokyo, Japan, base camp.

In the past few days, there has been news of the assassination of high-ranking military officials, two high-ranking officials have been killed, and two or three have been injured, and the entire military community in Tokyo has been panicked, and the military department has mobilized a large number of people to hunt down the assassins, but there is still no news.

At this time, there was another accident in Taiwan, and in three days, the Japanese base camp had already received three or four telegrams from Taipei, first of all, the attack on Shiki Kayama, the death and wounding of a number of high-ranking Japanese soldiers in Taiwan, and the Japanese army in Taiwan had no leader, and it had become a pot of porridge; Immediately after the second telegram, the Black Flag Army attacked Chiayi, and the Hatoyama Jun Brigade suffered heavy casualties, its vitality was greatly damaged, Chiayi fell, and the arms base in Zhujieshan was lost; Later, the Black Flag Army besieged Taichung, and both telegrams were urgent telegrams from Taichung, and Taiwan has now become a hot potato;

Youpeng in Shanxian asked: "Gentlemen, let's talk about it, what should we do?" ”

Dashan Yan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Prime Minister, I suggest that all the two divisions that need to be filmed in North Korea be sent to Taiwan, after all, Taiwan's status is too important, we must not lose, as for North Korea, there is a Li Jian Shangwen in charge, there are now *** million people, even if the front war is unfavorable and the attack is blocked, it will not be a big deal, at most we will withdraw to North Korea, the attack will not work, and there is still no problem for *** 10,000 people to defend North Korea." Shan Shan Youpeng nodded and looked at the others. Okumiya Bao on the side also said: "What Oyama Iwakun said is reasonable, we must not lose Taiwan, where there are rich resources, and it can also become the most important springboard for us to attack South China from the sea in the future, now North Korea has nearly 100,000 troops, which is enough to ensure the security of North Korea, we must mobilize a large army to rush to Taiwan, annihilate the Black Flag Army, and stabilize the situation in Taiwan!"
