Zhang Wei chose to act with the police regiment, unwilling to influence the command of the front-line unit commander because of himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The 4th Battalion, which is responsible for attacking the police station, is relatively the most relaxed, the police station only has about 500 people, most of them are Chinese, only the officers are Japanese, the Chinese will to fight is no better than the Japanese soldiers, and the equipment is much worse than the regular army.
The 4th Battalion, relying on its superiority in numbers and firepower, directly used mortars to bombard the police station after surrounding it, and set up crane guns on the roof opposite the police station to block the exit of the police station.
More than 20 mortars bombarded the police station, machine guns blocked the gate, surrounded by all sides, weapons could not work, they could not rush out, they could only wait for death, and the people who came to attack the police station must be the rebels, rather than waiting for death, it was better to give it a go, even if they died, they could earn a good reputation, and they did not have to bear the charge of traitors.
The eldest, Qiao Zhide, serves as the team leader, usually takes good care of everyone, and is the most respected by everyone. This time, he encouraged the members of the squad and said: "This time the Japanese will not be able to withstand the attack of the rebels, they have cannons, they have motor guns, we will kill the Japanese, take off the skin of traitors, and then follow the rebels, if you want to, you will follow me, and if you are unwilling, you can shoot at the brothers in the back." ā
Everyone whispered, "Willing to follow the captain!" ā
"Captain, let's do what you say!"
In this case, those soldiers chose to follow Qiao Zhide and began to attack the Japanese officers, and the Japanese killed in the infighting were about the same as the Japanese killed by mortars, and soon more than thirty Japanese officers were cleaned up, and the Chinese policemen chose to surrender.
For the policemen who chose to surrender, the battalion commander classified them, first selected the policemen who killed the Japanese this time, and then went to find out the corpses of the Japanese compared to the bullet marks, so that everyone confirmed, the recognized ones were a type of people, and the battalion commander was ready to report these people who had made meritorious contributions, hoping that after examining whether these people were guilty or not guilty in the past, they could be treated differently.
In the end, 302 police officers were still alive, and 148 police officers were killed, of which 16 were killed in the battle with the Japanese. There were 56 Japanese killed, and 37 Japanese killed as a result of the uprising.
The attack on the city government is very big, there are more than 200 Japanese soldiers guarding it, and the city government building is particularly strong, mortars can do nothing against it, and the regiment commander is unwilling to launch a charge, risking the lives of the soldiers, so he has to choose to surround the building first, and then go to Zhang Wei, hoping to get Zhang Wei's support.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei purchased 3 Type 92 infantry guns and combined them into an infantry artillery platoon to assist in the attack on the city government.
Under the attack of the Type 92 infantry guns, the fire points in the government building were gradually cleared, and the Japanese soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the huge gap in weapons made these Japanese powerless.
The Japanese quickly retreated to the second floor, held the staircase, and shot out of the window.
The mayor is really afraid, he has committed a lot of murders in Taiwan, and if he is caught by these people, he will definitely not end well. He shouted to the Japanese squadron leader: "Matsushima-kun, have you made contact with the wing commander?" ā
"Your Excellency Mayor, we have lost contact with the Wing Commander, the last time there was a huge artillery bombardment on the side of the barracks, it must have been these Zhi Na people attacking the barracks, and it is estimated that the Wing Commander is also more than lucky."
"Have you reported to Your Excellency the Governor? Have you asked for reinforcements from His Excellency Lieutenant General Nobuyi Yamanaka? ā
"Your Excellency the Mayor, it has already been reported, but sending reinforcements from Taipei can't quench the thirst of the near, we can't wait for the reinforcements to come, the attack of the Zhina people is too fierce."
"Matsushima-kun, please, you must resist it!"
The Type 92 infantry gun is a direct-aiming gun, as long as a Japanese shoots out of the window, it is 1 shell, and the Japanese in the house will definitely be reimbursed, and at such a close distance, it is like a bayonet to slaughter the Japanese.
Feeling that there were not many Japanese soldiers in the building, the regimental commander ordered the 1st Company to charge, enter the building, and clear the remaining Japanese.
The will of the Japanese was indeed not covered, or there were less than 10 people left, and they still fought back under the leadership of the squadron leader, but under the blows of many light machine guns, they were quickly cleared, all of them were killed, and no one surrendered. The shooting skills of the Japanese soldiers were very high, and in the end, the Japanese soldiers of less than 10 people still caused more than 10 casualties to the Lan Fang Army.
"Japanese soldiers are crazy!" , this is the parity of the officers and men of the 1 Company against the Japanese soldiers.
Administrative officials, both Japanese and Chinese, were imprisoned and awaiting review and trial.
The regiment commander ordered the hygienists and doctors to treat the wounded quickly, and the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, and at the same time sent people to find Zhang Wei and others to come to the city government to preside over the next step.
Zhang Wei, Zhao Xiaolong and others came to the city government, looked for Xiaolong to enter the role immediately, and issued orders in succession.
"The headquarters of the police division is located in Taichung, and the first regiment of the police division is stationed in Taichung City, and is responsible for the security of Changhua and Yunlin counties; The headquarters of the 2nd Regiment of the Police Division is stationed in Tainan City and is responsible for the security of Kaohsiung, Nanping and Chiayi counties; The 3rd Regiment of the Police Division was stationed in Taoyuan and was responsible for the security of Miaoli and Hsinchu counties; The 4th Regiment of the Police Division is stationed in Taipei and is responsible for law and order in Keelung and the Ryukyus; The 5th Regiment of the Police Division, stationed in Hualien, and was responsible for the security of Tainan, Yilan, Yaeyama Islands, Kokogasawara Islands, and Iwo Jima. ā
"According to the roster, the county administrators immediately contacted the police division and sent a police force to escort everyone to their posts; At the beginning of his tenure, he first eliminated the traitors and their families, arrested all the Japanese, and first concentrated them in detention and awaited processing; Immediately send people to Taichung to transport grain and distribute relief food to all families in need; Then there is the renovation of schools, starting today, all schools will be taught in Mandarin, and those who lack teachers should quickly apply to the provincial government. ā
After the staff officers arranged the radio station, Zhang Wei asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Zheng Daoyou, asking him to declare war on Japan, on the grounds that the Japanese government sent spies to kill the Americans to blame the Lanfang Kingdom, colluded with the Alliance, and plotted against Mongolia; proclaimed the establishment of Taiwan Province of Lan Phuong Kingdom; Let Song Jiaoren issue a telegram, announcing his separation from the League and exposing the traitorous face of the League; and transported a batch of primary, junior high and high school textbooks to Taiwan.
A telegram was sent to Lu Weimin, asking him to quickly transport the mercenaries of the five regiments to Taichung.
In the evening, telegrams were received to occupy Changhua and Yunlin.
Xia Yu said in a timely manner: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, we have a foothold in Taiwan, and the next step is to attract the Japanese to help." ā
"What's your solution?"
"Your Majesty, the situation here must have been reported to Taipei, they won't come to the aid if we attack so fiercely, we have to show weakness to attract them to come to Taiwan's aid."
"Then how do you show weakness?"
"Attacking the Penghu Islands, just sending destroyers and torpedo boats, so that it will be real, proving that our navy is not good, the battleships and battlecruisers have already been sold, and the navy is definitely not the opponent of the Japanese navy, so they will take the bait."
"It's really condescending to let you be the deputy chief of staff of the army, and you should be sent to the navy as the chief of staff."
"Your Majesty is really joking, how can I go to the navy."
"Okay, take your suggestion and go and occupy the Penghu Islands tomorrow." (To be continued.) )
