Chapter 919: The Battle of Nantou (1)

The Wufeng Army finally set off, a team of 700 people, of which 400 people are newly joined, these people have been tortured by blood and fire, this is what stands out, in addition to the most basic training, they can still do anything else, at least in obeying orders and listening to commands, it should be possible, the rest, are all tried and tested, well-trained soldiers, in a little determined the direction, under the command of the guide sent by the Lin family, went to Nantou County, where the Japanese army was stationed.

The reconnaissance company and the special forces have investigated the situation around the county town clearly, and even formed a military map, but for a long-distance march, you can't just use a map, a local guide is a must, a team of 700 people needs to be divided into several different teams, and after nightfall, quickly go to the county seat, which requires a strong timeliness.

At the beginning of the 20th century, not to mention in China, even in the countryside of the great powers, it was dark, let alone in China, perhaps in the mainland, because of the emergence of the northwest, electricity began to spread, huge hydropower projects and thermal power stations, with the support of northwest technology, all over the north and south of China, the strong manufacturing industry, is under the support of electricity, only gradually developed, electricity has become a more popular thing.

In Taiwan, Japan, as an occupier, only regarded Taiwan as a place of plunder, with very little industry, a few still handicrafts and mining, and most of them were only agriculture, so at night, it was still pitch black, in this case, relying solely on military maps was unreliable, and it was easy to cover up some eye-catching references at night, making it difficult for people to see what was around. But for the locals who were born and grew up here, day and night. There isn't much of a difference.

There were no accidents along the way, almost two and a half hours later, that is, at more than 8 o'clock in the night, the Wufeng army came to the surrounding of the county seat, Nantou County is very large, it is the only inland county in central Taiwan, and there are many mountain ranges. The land is huge, but the county seat of Nantou is very small, and the county seat is walled. Indeed, hundreds of years ago, when the Qing government conquered Taiwan, it built a small city with a radius of less than 5 miles, and the city wall was a little more than 4 miles at most. Not a special rule yet. is an irregular shape.

Perhaps it was the protection of the city wall that gave the Japanese army a sense of security, only less than 300 second-line soldiers guarded the city wall, at most, it was four city gates, not the city wall itself, and there were obvious gaps in some dilapidated city walls. Even two people can get in by taking the human ladder. Under the power of time, the walls were also dilapidated.

The night is getting deeper, most of the soldiers, are seizing the time to rest, the era of thermal weapons, physical strength is also more important, not enough physical strength, on the battlefield, a lot of actions can not be done, and when the war comes, the result is death and defeat, this elite soldiers know that the soldiers of the Northwest Army are all resting, and the personnel belonging to the Wufeng Army next to them are doing the same, sitting on the ground, recovering their physical strength.

Liu Ye, Lin Hu, Wei Ming and several other leaders of the Wufeng Army, using the special night vision telescope in the northwest, looked at the county seat not far away, although at night, the night vision low-light telescope still can't see clearly, not far, but compared to reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, I don't know where it is better, at least, under the faint light, on the city wall of the entire county, what is the movement, almost clear.

At this time, the county seat was heavily guarded, but it was not strict to a certain extent, after all, there was no sign of enemy activity for dozens of kilometers around, when the regular soldiers of a wing appeared, the Lin family fled, and the Japanese army searched and arrested all over the mountains, and suffered a lot, and there were not many real battles, they were just in accordance with the regulations, stabilizing the situation, and the rest was nothing.

One by one, the firepower points and sentry posts entered Liu Ye's field of vision, and then used a faint flashlight to compare with the military map, next, you need to sneak into the county seat, you must ensure that nothing goes wrong, at this time it is only 9 o'clock, people in this era sleep relatively early, but according to the research results of the Northwest Military Academy, between 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock, is the most tired moment for people. Doing it at the most exhausting moment is not only very safe, but also easy to achieve sustained results, which is the only way to operate in the Northwest Special Operation.

Although Nantou County is at the forefront of the Japanese army, it is not at the forefront, the strong county town and the army that has been scattered out ensure the safety here, the strong city wall is defended by troops, and the ammunition depot is the second insurance, which naturally produces inertia. This inertia was based on Japan's occupation of Taiwan and on a long period of comfort, but today, officially this inertia has killed more than 1,500 armed men in the Sakamoto Brigade and Nantou County.

Wait patiently, this patience, every commander in the northwest has it, Lin Hu is different, a little anxious, but the calm Liu Ye and Wei Ming calmed down his anxious mentality, maybe it was during this time, the strength shown by the Northwest reconnaissance company made him admire, or maybe it was the special fighters who entered the Nantou and entered the realm of no one, which gave him confidence, and the Japanese army that he was looking up to became less powerful.

Time flows like water, all the warriors, in the woods less than 300 meters away from the county seat, the county town that closed the city gate at night, just like a black monster, after entering 9 o'clock, the light in the county town slowly disappeared, and one by one places began to enter the darkness, only the sentry near the city gate, there were a few burning torches, illuminating the surrounding space.

Finally, sitting cross-legged on the ground, Liu Ye moved calmly, on the fluorescent watch, flashing time, and the time to attack finally came. At about 12 o'clock, the attack began, first, 36 figures, quickly from all directions, pounced on the city wall, with such and such tools, smoothly climbed the city wall, and then, began to clean up the soldiers on the city wall, 300 to 36, to be exact, it should be 144 to 36, only half of the defenders were on the city, the rest, or on vacation, or sleeping in the barracks.

Professional meets amateur, special meets ordinary, this is a completely asymmetrical battle, these soldiers in the city, that is, a little stronger than ordinary Wufeng soldiers, just like the military training of later generations, military training students who have received a little military training, they can only bully the rebels, and they don't even realize that the danger has come, when 36 special forces, through various ways, go up from the city wall, the outcome of the war is already doomed.

After 36 special forces used cold weapons to kill all the soldiers on the city wall, the entire Nantou county became an undefended existence, and the first platoon, following the special forces on the city wall, quietly opened the east gate of Nantou County, and then, more than 700 people, quietly entered the east gate and stationed down.

The reason why the east gate was chosen, the reason is very simple, within the east gate, it is an open field, this was originally a drying field, and half of the houses were taken up behind, as long as the Wufeng army entered, with the help of some temporary defenses and city walls, it could form a relatively stable line of defense in a short period of time, if it was really discovered by the Japanese army, relying on the support of many automatic firearms in the northwest and some artillery, it should be possible to take the other party.

In terms of victory and defeat, if you don't even consider this most basic thing, it is not a stable attack, but a risk, although Liu Ye is a radical, but this kind of caution in the northwest is engraved in his bones.

More than 700 people, not all entered, and more than 200 people, guarding the outer side of Nantou County, on the one hand, they stabilized the outer defense line, leaving a little retreat for the Wufeng army, on the other hand, for the next battle, arrange a line of defense, those who escaped from the city, they will kill them.

The rest of the people, using local materials, took down some things on the city wall and formed a position, which took more than half an hour, when this position was basically completed, Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes turned to the west, although the place he chose to enter was at the east gate, but the arsenal was near the west gate, although for a small city with a radius of only 2 miles, from east to west, it didn't take much time, but the inexplicable worry still kept rising, this was worry, worry was not going well.

On the battlefield, it may be the most complicated place, all kinds of things can happen, there are too many problems that may be encountered, the strength of the special forces is trustworthy, but sometimes, the slightest mistake will make a huge change in the situation of the carefully prepared battle. The Sakamoto Brigade, no matter how it is said, is a full formation brigade of 1,100 people, the number of personnel is too large, the positions are also numerous, coupled with the strict protection, the training of the regular army, it is fully displayed here, in case any of them are not careful, or it is a mistake, and they are awakened, the entire battle situation will change from a sneak attack of special operations to a head-on duel, and the weakness of the Wufeng Army's fewer professional soldiers may be fully revealed.

The role of the three groups of special forces is to infiltrate into the county seat, fight for the arsenal of the county, snatch the arsenal into their hands, and continue to expand the results of the battle under the premise of ensuring the safety of the arsenal.

The line has already been stepped on, and there are some streets in the small county town, and they must avoid some of the more lively ones, and even pass through the eaves or over the wall to ensure absolute safety and secrecy.

This is the third time Liu Ye has looked at the watch, it is 12:20, how is the progress of the special forces, the time is about the same, but be patient, according to the agreement with the special forces, after 40 minutes, no matter where the special forces have a signal, Liu Ye must take action and take Nantou County by surprise attack, regardless of the cost.
