Nobuyoshi Tanaka's worries were correct, and Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of the attack on Taiwan, did not forget the 21st Division, an important force defending Taiwan, and although Miao Su, where the 21st Division was located, was not the main direction of attack of the National Defense Army, Bai Chongxi still sent two army infantry divisions that landed behind to deal with them.

And these two armies are not rookie troops, they are the 41st and 42nd infantry divisions of the army that have fought with the Japanese army in China, although they are not as famous as the 101st "Tiger Division" or the 102nd Armored Division, but as one of Su Tong's starting teams, their combat effectiveness is unquestionable. Strictly speaking, in some respects, even the Marines, who are known as the "Dragons of the Sea and the Tigers of the Land", do not dare to boast that they are doing a better job than them.

At present, the 41st Division and the 42nd Division are advancing in unison, beating the 21st Division that is guarding Miaosu to the bitter end. Li Daxi and Huang Jie, the two commanders of the 41st and 42nd Divisions, who were experienced, were keenly aware that Miaosu was a typical mountainous terrain, and the Japanese army hid in the mountains to build multiple defenses, and heavy firepower could not play much role here. Therefore, they did not use the attack method of aircraft and heavy artillery like the Marines not far from them, but decisively dispersed their troops to encircle and infiltrate from both flanks, and used the superiority of infantry and small arms firepower to compress the Japanese army layer by layer, and then launched a general attack on the line after compressing the Japanese army to a certain range.

In a dense jungle flowed a small stream, the only source of water within a radius of thirty miles, which had been occupied by Wehrmacht soldiers three days earlier, and after the Wehrmacht had taken possession of the creek, it sent a company of troops to firmly control the source of the stream, and the company was ordered not to allow himself to take even a drop of water from the creek, and this company did the same. In the past three days, in order to compete with the Chinese National Defense Force for this news, the blood left in this vicinity has dyed this stream red several times.

Lin Fang sat in a foxhole, bored looking at a Japanese corpse a hundred meters away, this is the corpse of a Japanese machine gunner, until he was dying, he still maintained the posture of controlling the machine gun, until this moment his hand was still grasping the trigger of the Type 92 heavy machine gun in front of him, there was no trace of wounds on his body, but his head was removed by a large-caliber machine gun bullet Half of the braincase, and Bai Huahua's brain slurred all over the ground.

The reason why Lin Fang was interested in the Japanese machine gun that was already dead anymore was not complicated, it was simply because everyone was a colleague. Yes, Lin Fang is also a machine gunner, and the machine gun he operates is also a heavy machine gun, but Lin Fang operates an M2 Browning heavy machine gun, the power of this Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun is much stronger than the Type 92 heavy machine gun in the hands of the Japanese himself, so in the confrontation a few days ago Lin Fang laughed to the end, he used the M2 heavy machine gun in his hand to destroy the three machine gun positions of the Japanese army, and was praised by the company commander. Medals and awards will be delivered in two days.

"Hey, Lin Fang" A voice came, it was the voice of Lin Fang's ammunition hand Luo Jiacheng.

"Well, what's the matter." Lin Fang didn't withdraw his gaze, but agreed absentmindedly.

"I said why do you keep looking at that dead devil who has no half-pulled head, what is there to look at him, or does he have a bowl of gold in his head." Luo Jiacheng asked, half jokingly, half seriously.

"Neither, I think he's thinking because I'm thinking about what this kid was thinking when he was dying?" Lin Fang replied in a straight way.

"There's something wrong with you, you dare to be interested in what people think when they die, I think you're really boring."

Lin Fang chuckled and asked, "Okay, then you tell me what I'm going to do now and it's not boring." ”

"Ugh!" Luo Tian was dumb, and the most boring and idle ones were them, guarding a dry stream, and the water of this stream had been soaked by an unknown number of corpses. Except for the Japanese soldiers who could fight with the Japanese soldiers when they came up to fetch water, their company could only pass the time by sleeping. But when I'm idle, I can use the corpse of the little devil to pass the time several times, and even up and down, there is only Lin Fang, a pervert.

"You're alright." Luo Tianfang sighed, patted Lin Fang's shoulder and stopped talking, he knew that Lin Fang's hatred for the day himself was oozing out of his bones, none of the [day] devils who had been killed by him with a machine gun since this kid joined the army could keep the whole body, the only one was the one in front, but it was Lin Fang who saw that the guy's death was more unique and specially used to appreciate it for a while longer.

Miaosu County is a small mountain town, and even its county seat is built on a half-mountainside, where the division headquarters of the 21st Division is located.

At this time, Chihiro Sato, the commander of the 21st Division, was sitting in the command room temporarily converted from the prefectural hall, looking at the distribution map of the defense line placed in front of him, and his stubby eyebrows were almost upside down.

Originally, when Chihiro Sato received the task of the governor guarding Miao Su, she knew that the real purpose of the governor Hasei 11 Kiyoshi to let him guard Miao Su was not for anything else, but to leave a way for himself to retreat. Miaosu itself is a mountainous area and the only transportation artery leading to the port of Hualien, Taitung. As long as Miao Su is defended, then the 70,000 Japanese troops in Taiwan will still have a way back, and if Miao Su is occupied by the Huaxia National Defense Forces, then the only way to wait for them to inject some Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan will be the whole army's jade eleven roads.

Originally, he also meant that with the natural and difficult to defend and difficult to attack terrain of Miao Su, the people of China did not have more than three months to capture it, so he also specially distributed the divisions and regiments in various dangerous mountains and key places for layers of defense, and he himself was ready for long-term resistance, but he calculated one thing less, that is, although Miao Su is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are not many places to get water, and there are only more than ten water sources in the entire Miao Su, which is nothing in normal times. But now he was seized by the cunning Shina people and occupied seven or eight water sources at once, which immediately made Sato Chihiro dumbfounded, if there is no water source, let alone resist the Shina people for three months, it will be difficult to hold on for three days.

"Ito-kun, how many water sources do we have left?" Chihiro Sato asked her staff officer in a deep voice.

Ito Kaneo, the combat staff officer on the side, replied: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we don't have many water sources left, and as of today, we only have three water sources left. ”

"Of the three, there are only three left." As soon as he heard this number, Chihiro Sato couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, he was brutal and liked to slaughter civilians and prisoners of war, but his brain was not stupid, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the commander of the 21st Division. It is simply impossible to rely on three water sources to feed the 20,000 troops of the 21st Division.

"Have you sent troops to grab the water?"

"It's been sent a long time ago." Sato Kinao said with a wry smile: "This time our opponent is not the marines attacking those branches in Taoyuan, but the 41st and 42nd infantry divisions of the China Army. They are very cunning, and never storm our positions, but desperately grab water through water, and even if they can't take it, they will drop poison so that we can't drink it. Some of our soldiers hesitated and drank the water despite the order, and they were all poisoned. ”

Chihiro Sato gritted her teeth and rattled: "Yagayalu!" These people are so cunning that they don't dare to fight hard with our imperial army but resort to such a despicable trick. "Your Excellency Division Commander, let's report our situation to Governor Changgu and ask him to retreat quickly, Taiwan is an island after all, and the resources of fresh water are limited, if the Chinese continue to blockade like this, we don't need the enemy to attack the soldiers, and the soldiers will all die of thirst, and the current three water sources alone cannot guarantee the water supply of our 20,000 troops, if they are occupied by the Chinese people again or the Chinese people simply withdraw the poison, our 21st Division will be completely finished." Ito Kanio persuaded hard.

Chihiro Sato snorted coldly, although he was a little dissatisfied with the pessimistic remarks of Staff Officer Ito, but what Ito said was the truth, as the saying goes, it is easier to destroy than to build. It would take a considerable price to capture a water source, but it would be too easy to destroy them, and firing a few cannonballs with poison would easily do the trick. But these insidious people left several water sources that were not destroyed, but they only sent people to guard the place, and the imperial soldiers were not allowed to leave hundreds of corpses when they went to grab water, they wanted the 21st Division to bleed to death slowly.

"Okay, then you can send a telegram to the Governor of Changgu, saying that my 21st Division will not be able to hold on for too long because the water supply has been cut off, and I hope that His Excellency the Governor will make a decision quickly." Chihiro Sato pondered for a while and finally agreed to Ito Kaneo's sarcasm,

Taro Nakamura sat on a shell box next to a fortification outside the Taipei Governor's Mansion and stared into the distance, although the sound of gunfire had not yet been heard in Taipei, but the news of the tight front line still reached his ears through many soldiers.

"The 20th Division is almost unable to support it, and the people of China are about to fight to Taipei!"

"I heard that Governor Hasei is ready to move to Taitung."

The garrison regiment was originally composed of retired soldiers and soldiers in the townships, and military discipline was not as strict as that of the Japanese field divisions, and the news of the defeat kept coming, which caused the soldiers to panic even more.

"Chief Nakamura, do you know that the 20th Division lost the battle on the front line?" I don't know when Nakamura's military commander Ueno Koichi came to Nakamura's side, grabbed the kettle next to Nakamura Taro, poured a large mouthful of water into his mouth, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve with satisfaction, and asked the newly arrived commander in front of him with a big grin.

Taro Nakamura nodded lightly: "There is an old saying among Chinese people that there is no wind and no waves, since there is this rumor, there is a certain possibility." But if that's the case, we have to be ready to stop the Chinese in Taipei. ”

"If Lou really called, wouldn't we be sent to death with our people?" Ueno Hongichi pursed his lips disdainfully, he knew too well about the combat effectiveness of the garrison regiment, a veteran soldier who had been a soldier for more than ten years.

Ueno Hongichi said to Nakamura again: "But Chief Nakamura, as a veteran, I have to give you a reminder, you have to change your habit of calling the Shina people that Huaxia, usually I just listen to it, if you say the same thing to other chiefs, it may cause you trouble." After so many days of getting along, Ueno Hongichi also has a good impression of Nakamura's young boss, this boss who is about the same age as his son is not only a high-achieving student who graduated from the famous school of the University of Tokyo, but also a very humble person, without the frame of a chief, and treats a few military officers well Ueno Hongichi has a good impression of Nakamura, so he specially reminded him. But I didn't expect Nakamura to smile faintly after hearing this.

"Ueno-kun, thank you for the reminder, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the word Zhina, which is just a contempt that we ourselves have put on the heads of the Chinese people. Whether a nation is superior to another nation or not cannot be solved by a mere contempt, and we ourselves often habitually regard the Chinese people as inferior nations, but is this actually the case? As far as I know, more than 1,000 years ago, our crown prince came to the Tang Dynasty at that time to humbly ask for advice from the Chinese people and learn their advanced technology and knowledge. If the Chinese people are an inferior nation, then what kind of nation should we be who have been beaten and retreated by others? ”

“

Ueno Hiroshi was stunned for a moment, he hadn't read any books, but he also felt that what Chief Nakamura said seemed to make sense.

Now that I've been beaten by others, I'm still screaming at that person, isn't that a dead duck with a hard mouth? Ueno Hiroichi is already almost forty years old, and his heart naturally will not be like those hot-blooded young people who have been instigated by the Japanese government, and the Yamato nation is the best nation in the world, and sooner or later he will be the master of Asia and even the whole world, and he will not hesitate to give the young people who have been fooled so fanatical about the holy war. In his opinion, it was just a lie by the Japanese government to fool young people into cannon fodder. However, limited by the shortcomings of knowledge theory, although he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't say anything, but now Ichitong Nakamura Taro seems to understand a little bit when he says this.

"But...... Chief Nakamura, people say that, if we don't follow them, we will be beaten into an outlier. After thinking about it for a while, no Hongichi held back such a sentence.

Xinluo hummed" Nakamura Taro snorted lightly twice before he said coldly: "But when they go to die, do you also follow them to die?" Now that the Huaxia people are about to fight, don't you want to leave yourself a way back? ”

"What, back road! Sir, do you want to" Ueno Hiroichi looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even notice that the water in the kettle in his hand was slowly spilling to the ground.

"Yes, now that the Huaxia people have called, we can't follow them stupidly to death anymore. Since they don't want to live, then we have to find a way to live on our own. Nakamura Taro said as he stared at the commander in front of him viciously.

At this time, Nakamura knew that he had no time to slowly win over this subordinate, and the Huaxia people could hit Taipei at any time, and if he didn't hurry up, it would be too late. Do you want to follow the 11th Qing of Haseki to accompany the funeral? Nakamura never thought about this question, or did he obediently raise his hand and surrender as a prisoner when the Huaxia army came, and go to the mountains of China to mine and build railways? That's not what a high-achieving student who graduated from the University of Tokyo should do.,Since the government of the Japanese has to separate himself from his lover and send himself to this damn place to die.,Then don't blame yourself for being unkind.,In order to be able to go back and see the beautiful Cangyi, he can only let it go.。

"Ueno-kun, do you want to return to the Japanese book safely, and still be promoted and make a fortune?" Nakamura looked at the Ueno Juncao in front of him, and his eyes exuded a hot brilliance: "As long as you are willing to fight with me, if you can succeed, you and I will not have to die and return to the capital of Japan in a beautiful manner, maybe you can buy dozens of acres of land and become a farmer who is envied by others!" ”

"Chief Nakamura, do you want to marry you" Rao is Ueno Hiroichi has eaten more than ten years more than Nakamura, and he was also stunned by Nakamura's words.

"Ueno-kun, I have decided, I want to take refuge in the Huaxia people on the other side, I believe that they will definitely need people like us to serve them! Are you willing to support me? Nakamura's gaze on Ueno Koichi did not deviate for a moment, and he said word by word, his voice full of determination.

Nakamura Taro also knows that it is not enough to rely on himself to achieve his goal, he must unite some people to achieve his goal, and the Ueno Hongichi in front of him, who is full of the smell of veteran oil, is the first person he wants to woo, but if Ueno Hongichi disagrees, then don't blame yourself for being unkind.

"I, I, I'm willing, Lou is willing to follow the chief!" Looking at the fierce light in Nakamura Taro's eyes, this kind of look Ueno Hongichi, who has been a soldier for so many years, has seen too much, he can be sure that if he dares to say half a word, the warrant officer in front of him, who usually looks kind, will definitely unceremoniously take out the Wang Ba box in his waist and give himself such a shot. Although this gun was evaluated by the Chinese as the worst pistol in the history of the world, there was no one. But no matter how bad the pistol is, it can still kill its own flesh and blood.

After hearing Ueno's promise, Taro Nakamura finally had a smile on his face, "Yo Nishi, Ueno-kun, congratulations on making a wise decision." “！。
