Under the dense artillery, the protection built by the Japanese is almost a joke, the high-explosive shells clear the protection, and the infantry anti-personnel shells follow closely, clearing out most of the living Japanese troops, whether it is houses, bunkers, or those pits that are temporarily dug, maybe it can give the infantry charge some protection, but when it comes to dense artillery, it is a complete joke.

The elite gunners completely took the advantage of the mortar to the extreme, and the mortar was firing at an unimaginable speed, 25 rounds a minute, 50 rounds per gun, and the entire fire coverage lasted for 2 minutes, which was very short, but it was a nightmare of two minutes.

This level of firepower coverage is completely incomparable to the 10,000-gun inspiration of the European theater, with millions of armies pitting against each other, and the number of shells fired every day is almost astronomical. That's a land spanning thousands of kilometers or even longer, the area of the barracks, 2,000 square meters, 3,000 shells down, At least 1.5 rounds per square meter, which is specially designed to deal with high-explosive shells and infantry anti-personnel shells for buildings, especially the latter, when the shells explode in the air, they will form a steel ball covering 20 square meters, and a 50 mm shell has at least 1,200 rounds of steel balls of different sizes, which is the best ratio scheme obtained by the Northwest after careful study and thousands of tests.

There is only a military camp of less than 2,000 square meters, because of the preparation for battle, the layout of the Japanese army is relatively concentrated, and 3,000 shells go down to the Shura field.

Actually, it's pretty much the same, 2 minutes later. Of the barracks that housed at least 1,200 Japanese troops, very few were alive. In a top-secret intelligence report from the Northwest and Taiwan, the results of the battle were recorded. It was only declassified after 100 years, and the final result of this war, only 7 of the Japanese survived, all of them were wounded, almost all of them were bruised, all of them were disabled, and repentance and pain will follow them in the coming decades. Forever.

The first wave of shells fell on the concentrated defensive positions of the Japanese army, because it was necessary to guard against charging from the walls on all sides, this is not the outer city wall, but the double-sided brick wall of the ordinary barracks, as long as a few kilograms of explosives pack, can break through this wall, and then rush in, so their arrangement is based on a few rooms in the center.

Can't say. This arrangement is not good, in the case of the Japanese army, this is the best way to fight to the death, and the walls and entrances on all sides are the places where they defend the most. There are at least 7 Maxims, which can be used to smash any enemies that rush in with crossfire points. In Sakamoto's eyes, even if it is death. It's also definitely necessary to drag a few cushions in.

I'm afraid the only thing Sakamoto didn't expect was artillery. The other side not only carried artillery, but also this kind of curved artillery specially designed to deal with trenches and fortifications, mortars have appeared because of the northwest, and even from Turkey and Germany, displayed in front of the whole world, Britain, France, the United States and other countries, with strong technical reserves, quickly solved the key problem of mortars, their factories are in trial production, and small batches of equipment troops.

Japan, in terms of technical reserves, has a big gap with the countries of the great powers, their advanced weapons research and development capabilities are almost zero, and they are still in the stage of imitation for the time being, and the seamless steel pipe technology used in mortars is also not broken by Japanese steel mills, not even the Guards Division, let alone the Taiwan Army far away in Taiwan, Sakamoto can recognize that this is a curved artillery, which is already good.

One shell after another fell, the intensively defended Japanese army was hit by a huge blow, the confrontation between flesh and steel, flesh and blood is an absolute disadvantage, especially those armed men, looking at their friends and robes, almost flesh and blood died in front of them, this kind of psychological pressure is not ordinarily big, some go crazy, and some surrender directly to their knees.

It's a pity that the artillerymen fixed according to the order, saying that 50 rounds is 50 rounds, saying that a 2-minute fire attack is a 2-minute fire attack, that is, a 2-minute fire attack, and a 100-meter separation, there is still a row of walls that have not collapsed, maybe for the Japanese army, the wall is the safest place, and the high-explosive shells and infantry anti-personnel shells that fall near that are the least, but there is no if, no Japanese has the opportunity to hide anywhere, relying on the defense and the barrier of the house is useless, crossing the distance of tens of meters, Under dense fire, rush to the position of the wall, unless it is Superman, or definitely die halfway through.

Sakamoto died, and the people around him died, and after layers of shells and steel balls made the core area into a sieve, it gradually extended outward, not letting go of any bit.

In the barracks, even the people have been beaten like this, and the capture is almost gone, most of the weapons have been destroyed by intensive artillery fire, by the way, the entire barracks no longer exists, the houses have all collapsed, and only countless bullet craters and bloody steel balls scattered throughout this barracks can describe the cruelty of this battle.

This is the style of the Northwest, those who can be on the weapon, absolutely not people, if it is replaced by other opponents, maybe the Northwest will also consider whether it is too ruthless, for Japan, it is not necessary, from 1895 for almost 20 years, the Japanese owe Taiwan a lot of blood debts, and they have repaid.

Liu Ye is afraid that the only regret is that this time the investment is a little larger, and the mortar shells are consumed a little more, but at least hundreds of casualties can be reduced, especially the Northwest Army, a total of 300 people, one wounded and one killed, which is a huge price.

The Japanese-occupied Taiwan is very unpopular, except for a few traitors who defected to the Japanese, the rest of the people, the anti-Japanese sentiment is very high, this is a place worth using for the northwest, relying on these northwest armies as seeds, as quickly as possible to expand the strength of the Wufeng army.

At about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, the last gunshots are over, the circumference of the county is no more than 5 miles, and how big the area can be, the city wall provides protection for Nantou County, but to a certain extent, it is imprisoned, in the battle opened, the miserable Japanese who were beaten did not think of jumping over the wall through the city wall to run, the inertia of thinking, let them rush to the city gate, compared to the vast city wall, the city gate is the best to seal, as soon as the machine gun is stopped, the city gate is sealed, and those who escape from there are either knocked to the ground by the machine gun, or raise their hands to surrender.

From 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock, the two hours of fierce fighting, almost the entire battle, were fought by the Northwest Army, 400 people from the Wufeng Army, just guarding the main road, cleaning up the fish that slipped through the net, and later took over, even if it was a little battle, with the attack intensity of the Northwest Army, it was really difficult to catch the fish that slipped through the net, and the ones that didn't have long eyes were all gone, and the rest were like birds with a frightened bow, facing the attack of the Wufeng Army, they surrendered almost immediately.

The soldiers of the Wufeng Army, looking at these Japanese under their command, this is still the main force of Japan, and those armed ronins and policemen go without saying, but those guys who are obviously wearing Japanese army uniforms and look well-trained, but they are timidly trembling with their hands holding their guns above their heads, how do you look at it, it's not that the police are wearing Japanese military uniforms.

Looking at them like rabbits, but being chased by the Northwest Army and beaten like rabbits, this psychological gap made the members of the Wufeng Army a little unacceptable, they had long known that the Northwest Army was very strong, but how strong it was, they couldn't tell, these Japanese military uniforms in front of them proved that they were Japanese regular troops, and the Japanese army that was as strong as the gods a few days ago was abused by the Northwest Army, and the strength of the Northwest Army could really be so different.

The battle only lasted for 2 hours and ended, in fact, it was not completely over, sporadic battles were still going on, mostly some fish that slipped through the net or armed expatriates, there were very few Chinese in the county, except for some big traitors who were some rich businessmen who defected to Japan, these were the objects of the dictatorship, and after controlling the situation, the Wufeng Army began to screen and arrest them.

The previous preparations were very in place, and when the special combat team investigated the situation in Nantou County, they also investigated the basic situation incidentally, and the entire county town, except for the Japanese military camp and Japanese expatriates, there were very few Chinese, a total of more than 5,000 people, of which, the landlords who defected to the Japanese accounted for more than half of the 2,500 people, and the rest were ordinary servants, long-term followers and guys working in the store, the latter did not dare to come out during the battle, until after the war, when the Wufeng Army began to screen, it did not appear.

Together with the Japanese prisoners, Japanese expatriates, big traitors, etc., a total of more than 12,000 prisoners were captured, and more than 2,000 Chinese, which is already all that is left in the county, first settled them, classified them, young and middle-aged men are listed separately, there are about 6,000 people, and the rest are the elderly, children, women and children, who are also detained.

Lin Hu sat in the Nantou County Headquarters, where there were still traces of gunsmoke and bullets, but his heart still did not calm down, it was as simple as that, and the county town with 1,100 regular soldiers and two thousand armed men was solved, even if it was a police sub-office, it was an unconquerable object in their eyes, and they could only take the lone Japanese and remote police stations to start, and it was so simple to solve, although the casualty figures did not burst out, but Lin Hu, who personally participated in the battle, knew very well that the damage to the Northwest Army was very small, There is not even a broken foot, the strong combat effectiveness is undoubtedly displayed, and when his subordinates, the carefully selected Wufeng Army, there are dozens of feet, and the gap between strict training and Tutaizi is obvious, and this gap is obvious.

Liu Ye came in from the outside, he just went to check on the wounded, he was very satisfied, there was only one seriously injured in the northwest, and there were more than a dozen lightly injured, there were a lot of Wufeng troops at that time, looking at Lin Hu who was still staying, he lined up his shoulders and said: "The battle is over, it's time to clean up the battlefield!" ”

Lin Hu, who was originally confused, finally let his pupils regain focus, looked at Liu Ye with a straight face, and said, "It's over!" (To be continued......)
