In December in Taiwan, the sun is shining and the sea breeze is blowing.

On a beach near Changhua, Yamashita Makino saw his subordinates sweating like rain digging communication trenches and trenches, and in the distance the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Although it was all the same as usual, he always felt a little uneasy, as if something was going to happen today.

"Your Excellency, the fortifications here have been built deep enough, why do you continue to dig?" Taro Nakamura is a staff officer who has just graduated from the military academy and has just served in the army. Lacking practical military experience, he was puzzled by the requirements of the group commander to build fortifications far beyond the standards set by the army. Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, he asked his commander a long-suppressed question.

Glancing lightly at the young and immature officer beside him, a little impatience flashed in Yamashita Makino's eyes, but after thinking that this person was entrusted by the brigade commander, he frowned and said: "Nakamura-kun, you just graduated from the military academy, and there are many things that you don't know much about. If this is just ordinary land warfare, then these field fortifications are indeed sufficient. However, what we are about to face now will be a fierce bombardment of the navy's large-caliber naval guns, and even the fortifications we are doing now are probably more useless. ”

"Oh? Is the power of naval artillery really so great? Taro Nakamura asked suspiciously. For him, his knowledge of naval artillery was limited to books and legends, and as for the actual power, he had never seen it.

Yamashita Makino didn't reply, and began to walk towards the high ground in front of him. The Japanese intelligence services were not unaware of the news of the large-scale build-up of Chinese troops along the coast of Fujian. Although the intentions of the Chinese were known, because of the successive defeats of the Japanese navy and army during these days, the country was unable to make effective countermeasures. Therefore, the question of Taiwan's defense can only be pinned on its governor, Kuma Zomathew, or the upcoming negotiations between the two sides in Tianjin, China.

"Captain, will the people of China really land? Can we hold on to Taiwan? Nakamura Taro took two steps and followed, and when he reached the top of the hill, he asked again. Obviously, he hadn't sensed the impatience in the captain's heart.

Yamashita Makino held back his temperament and was about to reply. But he didn't want to, at this time, his eyes that kept turning on the sea suddenly saw that countless ships began to emerge at the intersection of sea and sky in the distance.

"Enemy attack!!"

Yamashita Makino instantly made a judgment of friend and foe, this is the landing force of the Shina people, and this is only the landing force of the Shina people. After all, since the defeat of the Japanese Navy in the naval battle, it has been a long time since the warships of the Japanese Navy appeared in the waters near Taiwan, let alone such a large fleet now.

……

Yamashita Makino's judgment was not wrong, this was indeed a unit of the Chinese army attacking Taiwan, and it was also the 1st Marine Division, the vanguard unit of the attack on Taiwan, which was personally commanded by Lan Tianwei, commander-in-chief of the attack on Taiwan and commander of the East China Military Region. It was led by dozens of warships, followed by countless merchant ships and cargo ships carrying officers, men, and supplies.

On the bridge of the "Huashan", Lan Tianwei looked at the shadowy land in the distance, which had gradually shown its outline, and could not suppress the slightest throbbing in his heart. Taiwan, this wanderer who has been away from the embrace of the motherland for nearly 20 years, is finally coming back today, and he is coming back in his hands.

"Order all ships, targets, and Japanese positions at the landing ground on Changhua Beach in Taiwan, to open fire with all their strength and clear the obstacles for the landing force!" The distance was getting closer and closer, and Lan Tianwei finally gave the order.

According to the old fishermen who were old and familiar with the sea conditions in the vicinity, starting from today, the four days will be a rare good weather, and it will be the best time to attack Taiwan. Lan Tianwei believes that as long as the rhythm is controlled, within four days, with the dozens of ships in his hands, he will be enough to transport all the nearly 100,000 troops attacking Taiwan and most of the supplies to the island. At that time, not to mention the three second-line garrison brigades of the Japanese army on the island, even if there are three more first-line field divisions, then don't want to stop your own footsteps.

Although many places in Taiwan, such as Kaohsiung in the south and Keelung in the north, are suitable for large-scale landfalls, Lantian chose to make landfalls from the vicinity of Changhua in the central part of the country. For no other reason, he just wanted to implement the tactics of starting to break through in the middle and advancing rapidly left and right for the old thing of Kuma Zuo Matthew, and strive to recover Taiwan before the year and present a huge gift to the party and the country.

……

On the beach, the Japanese officers and men who had entered the fortifications in a panic were already stunned by the dense density of ships that were approaching on the sea. They were dazed, they were afraid, they didn't know how to resist these large armies that attacked from the sea with only a thousand or so people on their own.

"You, hurry to Taichung, report the situation here to His Excellency the brigade commander, and ask him to come for reinforcements quickly." Yamashita Makino pulled Nakamura Taro beside him and ordered viciously.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

A huge explosion sounded on the beach in an instant, and the Japanese positions on the beachhead were immediately plunged into a sea of fire. Yamashita Makino was shocked, and while secretly exclaiming that something was wrong, he immediately pulled Taro Nakamura, who was already trembling, and rolled into a trench next to him.

For a full twenty minutes, when the artillery fire had completely stopped, Yamashita Makino raised his head. At this time, the whole beach was full of bomb craters, the pillboxes and fortifications that had been repaired before had been completely reduced to ruins, and many of the soldiers who were sweating not long ago had disappeared.

Yamashita Makino knew that what he was most worried about, what he was most afraid of, had finally come. The troop carriers on the sea sailed offshore, and the small boats full of Chinese soldiers seemed to have spread all over the sea. He crawled to the only two 75mm guns in the whole brigade and shouted: "Baga! Fire, according to the pre-calibration, quickly fire at me! ”

The Japanese artillerymen, who were panicked and at a loss, immediately corrected their targets and pulled the bolts after hearing the order of the brigade commander. Accompanied by two "Tom! Tong! The sharp shells continued to pierce the air, emitting a piercing roar, and began to smash quickly into the Chinese army boats in the demarcated sea area.

The sudden explosion soon sounded three or four kilometers offshore. Although the Japanese artillery fire was very sparse, due to the very dense formation of the Chinese army's landing boats at this time, there was still an unlucky boat that was smashed by the shells. The 75mm caliber shells gave full play to their power at this time, and in the sound of explosions, the more than 10 officers and men on the entire boat who were preparing to carry out the first batch of landing operations disappeared into the sea in an instant.

After discovering the firing point on the beachhead, the Chinese destroyers cruising nearby did not hesitate to counterattack.

It should be said that Yamashita Makino and his artillery subordinates were lucky, because they survived the hellish fire. But Yamashita Makino was unfortunate again, because as the first point of fire, they were soon given special care by the fire of several destroyers. It is conceivable what the final outcome will be for them, who only have sandbags as shelter positions, in this kind of luck and unluck.

The encounter of the artillery fire point naturally could not be hidden from the eyes of everyone on the battlefield. Seeing this, one of the several trenches near the left and right suddenly erupted into a crazy howl. A Japanese soldier ran out of it dancing, throwing away the rifle in his hand as he ran, apparently really having a nervous breakdown.

Emotions can be contagious, especially in this case. So much so that later, in the trenches that had been preserved under the artillery fire, people began to run further to the rear.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Gradually, shouts of killing rang out from all over the beach. The officers and men of the vanguard of the 1st Marine Division, which had successfully landed, were constantly advancing in order to expand the area of the landing ground. On the beach behind, there were also officers and men who had been successfully rushing the beach, and according to the arrangements of their respective commanders, they were waving red flags, charging and charging, carrying machine guns, and carrying mortar parts. A few larger landing craft in the back were even carried out by several fighters with parts of 75mm caliber field guns.

On the beach at this moment, except for sporadic gunfire in the distance, the expected frenzied counterattack of the Chinese and Japanese troops did not appear. In less than 20 minutes, the entire two-kilometer-long beach was already full of personnel and supplies of the Chinese army.

After Zhang Shifa, the commander of the 1st Marine Division, took the division headquarters out of the boat, stood on top of a large rock reef and began to observe the beach with a telescope, and suddenly laughed when he looked at him: "Haha, comrades, give me a good fight!" We didn't catch up with the Korean battlefield, but now the Taiwan battlefield, we have all covered. ”

"Order the vanguard, in accordance with the established battle plan, to accelerate the offensive. After occupying the favorable terrain, we will actively attack, and strive to take Changhua County and hold it before the reinforcements arrive. Tell those turtles in the army behind, land warfare, our navy is good at it! ”

From the beach to Changhua, it is only a few kilometers away. The attack of the vanguard team was very smooth, and along the way, there was basically no resistance from a large number of enemies, and even more than thirty prisoners were captured. Constant attacks, continuous breakthroughs, only three hours after the landing, the Chinese army chased the defeated Japanese army into Changhua County.

On the "Huashan", Lan Tianwei, who was still in command, was overjoyed when he got the news of Changhua's arrival, and immediately sent a telegram to China: On December 20, 1913, the vanguard of our attack on Taiwan successfully landed in Taiwan!
