It turned out that after Bai Fei successfully landed in Hainan and obtained the latest information of the Japanese army, he discussed with Wang Weiguo, Li Shuyang and others a plan to divide the troops into three routes and form an encirclement of the Japanese army south of Danzhou.

The plan was to first use the troops led by Bai Fei as the main force against the enemy, attract the attention of the Japanese army, and cover Wang Weiguo and Li Shuyang. Wang and Li respectively led their troops to make a detour to the southeast flank of the camp of the Japanese Taiwanese mixed brigade that was attacking Danzhou and surrounded it.

Due to the loss of a large group of troops in the area of Jiaheli, although Iida Shojiro, the commander of the Japanese mixed brigade, was a little vigilant, he only thought that there was a mistake in the navy's intelligence and passed the information to the headquarters in Sanya, but in fact he did not pay enough attention to it, but ordered the commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing of Taiwan under the mixed brigade to continue to send additional troops to block the Chinese reinforcements coming from Jiaheli, so as to ensure the safety of the flank of the 1st Infantry Wing of Taiwan that was attacking Danzhou. For this reason, Iida Shojiro also specially allocated more than half of his mountain artillery wing to Hirata's masasurance.

Moreover, since the Japanese army attacked Danzhou yesterday, although it was not able to completely take Danzhou, it also swept away many strongholds and pillboxes of the defenders on the periphery, and the continuous attacks made the defenders of Danzhou unable to rest at all, and the defenders were very tired. In Iida Shojiro's view, the defenders of Danzhou are already overwhelmed at present, and they only need to hold on for a moment and a half, and the defense of Danzhou will inevitably collapse.

Under his arrangement, the 1st Infantry Brigade continued its attack on Danzhou, while the 2nd Infantry Brigade was all assembled and headed for Jiaheli at the request of Hirata Masa.

Hirata Masashi carried more than 3,000 infantry this time, especially the mountain artillery unit of most of the company was mobilized to follow, which can be described as a strong soldier. Although he had sent out two brigades earlier, one of them escaped and the other was annihilated, but, like Iida Shojiro, this did not attract enough attention from Hirata, who simply believed that the previous defeat was due to the enemy's artillery and they did not.

And this time, they carried so many mountain artillery, under normal circumstances, even if they encountered a brigade or even a division of the Chinese army in the field, it would be a sure victory.

Therefore, along the way, Hirata did not have too many worries and doubts, and only urged his subordinates to march quickly. He did not expect that this time he would face a regiment directly under the gendarmerie that was more than a step superior to him in terms of firepower.

Sure enough, when Hirata Masashi led his troops to the Gaotianpo area between Jiaheli and Danzhou, they bumped into Bai Fei and others who came out of Jiaheli head-on.

Due to insufficient preparation, when the two armies met, the two sides had gathered less than 3 kilometers, Hirata Masa hurriedly ordered his subordinates to set up defenses, but where was there still time, not waiting for him to deploy the artillery unit, only to hear a tsunami from the opposite side, hundreds of shells in the air had already flown from the opposite side, Hirata was shocked, and before he could react, the cluster bombing that covered the sky and the sun had already occurred, and the violent explosion suddenly made the entire area like an earthquake, and even the ground trembled.

After the explosion, Hirata Masashi got up from the ground in disgrace and hurriedly inquired about the damage, and when he learned that not only more than 600 of his subordinates had been killed, but even more than 20 mountain cannons he had brought were also destroyed, Hirata's whole heart was cold.

He knew that he was not an opponent, so he quickly gathered his troops and turned around and retreated in a hurry, and when he ran back to the outside of Danzhou City, Bai Fei led the troops to chase the area of the Walking Ridge on the west side of Danzhou City.

Iida Shojiro, the commander of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, learned that Hirata had failed miserably, especially since he had not even really fought with the other party, so he ran away because he was afraid of the enemy, and he was speechless for a while, thinking that he had insulted the majesty of the Japanese Imperial Army.

Hirata Shojiro heard that he had lost more than a dozen artillery pieces, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "You are really a stupid pig..."

Just then, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the headquarters has an urgent telegram. ”

This telegram was sent by Anten Riji and Nobutake Kondo after analyzing the debate. In the telegram, Aitengriji highlighted the suspicion that the Chinese reinforcements who came across the sea might be "regiments directly under the gendarmerie", and ordered Shojiro Iida to be careful and not to be careless.

After reading the telegram, Shojiro Iida's heart sank, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. Iida Shojiro naturally knew about the unit directly under the Chinese military police, and not only him, but all the officers of a certain level in the Japanese army did not know. Moreover, Bai Fei and his troops, to a certain extent, have become a nightmare for the Japanese army, and there is no one who does not have a headache for them.

Shojiro Iida is naturally no exception.

Thinking of the rumored terrifying combat power of the other party and the fiasco that had just happened in front of him, Iida Shojiro was full of sorrow. If there are doubts in Antengriji's telegram but no confirmation, then Iida Shojiro can now be 100% sure that this Chinese reinforcement is the "regiment directly under the Chinese military police".

Just as he was thinking about informing the Sanya Command of the latest news, another herald suddenly came in and reported: "Your Excellency, Major General, the Wing Commander of the 1st Infantry Wing, Ishimoto Sada, has just reported that the defensive strength in Danzhou City has suddenly been strengthened, and someone on the other side is shouting in Japanese and Taiwanese in an attempt to rebel against the Taiwanese soldiers below..."

Iida Shojiro was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did they shout?" ”

The herald hesitated and said, "The other party shouts, we are surrounded, lay down your arms and surrender... And to say, Taiwan is... An integral part of China, the Taiwanese are also Chinese ... The Chinese do not fight the Chinese ... To be consistent with the outside world... And also... And..."

The herald didn't dare to say any more.

Iida Shojiro was actually angry, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "What else, go on..."

The herald glanced at Shojiro Iida's face, and then continued: "The other party also instigated the Taiwanese soldiers below to attack the Japanese in the team, saying... Say... As long as you kill a Japanese, you can get 5 oceans with your head, and you will never break your promise..."

"Yaga Duck Road!"

Shojiro Iida's chest exploded, and he slapped the herald in the face, knocking the herald to the ground and almost fainting.

"Too much deception, too much deception!" Iida Shojiro took two steps back and forth, slowly calmed down, and then he said to the attendant officer: "Immediately give an order to Ishimoto Sadanao, so that he must take Danzhou within an hour at all costs, and after the city is broken, he can let the soldiers rob for a day and relax..."

It turned out that Iida Shojiro was also afraid that the Taiwanese soldiers under him would be really agitated, and in the event of a large-scale rebellion, he would be helpless even if he had three heads and six arms. It is really that there are too many Taiwanese in this army, accounting for almost eighty and a half of them. Therefore, he wanted to use money and beauty to lure and encourage the Taiwan soldiers at the bottom to continue to strengthen their will to fight.

Iida Shojiro had a good plan, but before the order could be passed on, a sudden message made him completely confused.
