In fact, the original intention of the Japanese to establish the Taiwan Wing was not to attack China, but because since the Japanese occupation of Taiwan in 1895, the Taiwanese people, including the Han Chinese, the Min people and the indigenous people of Fanshe, have continuously resisted Japanese rule, and Japan has sent four divisions and regiments to gradually quell the large resistance after ten years at the cost of 32,000 casualties, and the small resistance is still continuing.

After the fourth governor of Taiwan, Kodama Gentaro took office, he discussed with his staff Goto Shinpei that at present, relying on the Japanese to forcibly rule Taiwan by force, Japan needs to spend too much manpower and material resources, so Goto Shinpei put forward the concept of governing Taiwan with Taiwan, that is, on the one hand, to carry out Japanization and de-sinicization in Taiwan, on the other hand, to attract the Fanshe natives and the Fujian people who immigrated from the Ming Dynasty to fight the Han people who immigrated to Taiwan from Fujian in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and in terms of governing the people, he absorbed the Yuan Dynasty's armor protection system and the joint sitting system, and brutally suppressed the Taiwanese people. Eventually, he established a Taiwanese wing, mainly Tu and Min people, to suppress the Xiao Gu resistance, and after these men had killed the Han Chinese, they would have to continue to massacre the Han Chinese, thus developing the forces that had been fighting against Japan into armed forces to help Japan.

Gentaro Kodama's plan was supported by Emperor Meiji, who was given more important powers and was responsible for directing the war against Tsarist Russia, thus dominating the Russo-Japanese War. Before Gentaro Kodama resigned from the position of governor of Taiwan, he promoted Goto Shinpei to be the chief of civil affairs of Taiwan, and after the arrival of the fifth governor of Taiwan, Sakuma Zomathei, he fully trusted Goto Shinpei, and after three years of cooperation, Goto Shinpei became the chairman of the Manchurian Railway Company.

Sakuma did not change Kodama Gentaro's policy during his rule in Taiwan, he carried out the de-sinicization movement of Taiwan more vigorously, and for the first time put forward the concept that Taiwanese are not Chinese, and he also proposed that the Japanese should marry Taiwanese women, and wait until more than a decade later, these mixed-race people will become Taiwanese, thus de-sinicizing the bloodline.

As for the construction of the Taiwan Wing, Sakuma Zuo Matthew appointed Yokota Yujiro as the commander of the Wing, increasing the number of troops in the Taiwan Wing, and a large number of Fanshe natives joined the army, and after more than ten years of brainwashing, many Fujian people also forgot their identity as descendants of the Han people, and turned to think that they were Taiwanese under Japan. After Yokota Hajiro became the captain of the wing, he paid more attention to cultivating the hatred between the soldiers of the Taiwanese wing and the Han Chinese, and arranged for the team members to kill the Taiwanese rebels, forcing them to have no way out and could only rely on the Japanese. After their hands were stained with the blood of the Han Chinese, these Taiwanese soldiers gradually forgot for a moment that they were once Chinese.

But this time to attack China, the soldiers of the Taiwan Wing still have some fears in their hearts, first, their opponents are not the isolated Han rebels on the island of Taiwan, but the regular Chinese army, and secondly, despite the Japanese enslavement, the Fujian people forget that they were once Chinese, although the ancestors of these Fujian people came to Taiwan from the Ming Dynasty, although they said that they were not Han people or Chinese, but after all, their parents taught them to write Chinese characters and speak Chinese since they were children. The affection for China in their bones made their emotions gradually complicated. Therefore, after landing in Nantong, a very strange mood lingered among the soldiers of the Taiwan Wing, and it could not be said whether they were war-weary or afraid, and their emotions were very complicated.

The Japanese officers realized the strange atmosphere in the Taiwan Wing, after all, there was no noise and nonsense in the past, but they simply thought that the soldiers of the Taiwan Wing were afraid when facing the regular army, so the military Cao and the instructors were how weak, cowardly, and war-weary the Chinese soldiers were, especially the disgust with the Qing government, so that most of them chose to fight back when facing foreign troops, so there is no need to be afraid of Yunyun.

However, a day later, the teachings of the military caopers were broken by a soldier named Lao Ma, who had caught a Chinese soldier who had come to reconnoiter a few days earlier, and could not torture him with anything but knowing that the soldier's name was Lao Ma.

In order to boost morale, the soldiers of the Chinese wing pulled the old horse to the Taiwan wing, ready to insult the Chinese soldier in public.

The Japanese soldier asked the old horse to kneel on the ground, but the forty-year-old veteran named Lao Ma smiled contemptuously, scolded loudly with his neck stalked: "I'm your Japanese dog emperor!" ”

"Yaga!"

The Japanese soldier was furious, went up and slapped him on the ground twice, and was about to draw his sword and hack him to death, when a military Cao group stopped him, turned around and asked: "If you say that I am willing to be Japanese, we will not kill you." ”

The Chinese soldier sneered: "Lao Tzu is born as a Chinese, and death is a Chinese ghost!" Let me be you little devil, let me kneel in front of you, I bah! ”

"You're not afraid of death?" The soldier was furious.

The old horse sighed, "Do you know why I was caught by you? ”

"Why?"

"You killed more than 100 people in the riverside fishing village, the old man, the children, and the women?" The old horse roared with red eyes, "I'm your grandma's little devil, you killed my whole family, I can't wait to eat your flesh, pick your skin, drink your blood, I'll you devil dog emperor!" ”

Jun Cao cut off the old horse's head with a knife and left without saying a word, and this time, instead of making the soldiers of the Taiwan Wing feel that the Chinese army is weak, they feel that they should re-understand the Chinese army and the Chinese soldiers.

The captain of the first brigade, Kurosaki Hadan, was very dissatisfied with the torture and killing of Chinese prisoners of war this time, and he found Yokota Hajiro and expressed his concerns, but although Yokota Hajiro respected his predecessor Suzuki Thirty-two, he did not respect the Taiwanese at all, so he said contemptuously: "These Taiwanese fools are cranky, let them be cranky, as long as they pick up their weapons and rush to the enemy's camp during the battle, they are swimming Taiwanese, if they don't advance, then they will all be killed." ”

"When we train one Taiwanese soldier, we have the energy to train six Japanese soldiers." Kurosaki Yudan smiled bitterly.

"None of this matters, the fighters have to go through the war to grow, they haven't experienced the war yet, and after this war against China, they will get used to it." Hajiro Yokota said with a smile.

At the same time as the Japanese army was increasing, the Chinese defenders in Jiangbei were also increasing, and the first to arrive in Nantong was Gong Xuewen's Ninth Division, which suffered heavy casualties in the battle against Feng Guozhang's army and still has not yet recovered. After learning about the situation of the Ninth Division, Li Shirui arranged for them to be used as a reserve force in Rugao County. The defenders stationed in Nantong were the Sixth and Seventh Divisions, and two days later the Second Division and the Third Division also arrived in Nantong, and Wang Yongan mobilized six reserve regiments from various places and was also urgently dispatched to Nantong, and the number of Chinese defenders reached as many as 100,000, which was a resounding slap in the face to the originally confident and contented Japanese.
