Chapter 98: Closure

"Commander, we are incompetent and have not been able to seize Keelung in time, and the port of Keelung has been occupied by the Chinese people. And when I returned just now, I had already seen that the people of China were going to Keelung to support, and we couldn't occupy Keelung! The Japanese captain said.

And Kawakami fucked Liuyi's ass and sat on the chair, of course he knew what it would mean once Wang Guorui occupied Keelung. At present, the battlefield between Wang Guorui and the Japanese army has been maintained in Taipei for a generation, and the Taipei area has become the core of the war between the two armies in Taiwan. And both sides formed a long snake formation along a straight line, forming a group of trenches. And the Japanese originally thought that their firepower was enough, and Wang Guorui could not break through at all. But now Wang Guorui broke through from the 6th Division on the flank, opened a gap with advanced tactics, and wiped out the 6th Division. The destruction of the 6th Division means that there has been a huge gap in the flank of the Japanese army on a line, and a large number of Taiwanese troops began to pour into this gap, and then plunged into the rear of Taipei.

And Kawakami Caoliu certainly knows what it means, there is not much plain behind Taipei, that is, it is just a road. The road led to Keelung, and the port of Keelung was the only way for Taiwan to transport supplies from the sea, as well as for the retreat of Japanese troops from the sea. But now that Keelung Port is occupied, their retreat is also full of Wang Guorui's army, so Wang Guorui's army has already semi-surrounded them, so it can be equivalent to a full encirclement. Because the other direction is full of seawater, as long as it can be semi-surrounded, it can also ensure that the Japanese army will not be able to escape. The Japanese army is an army, so naturally it cannot go to the sea.

The reason why Kawakami Caoliu wanted to ensure the safety of Keelung Port just now was that he hoped that even if something really couldn't be done, he would be able to make more than 100,000 troops retreat. But now Wang Guorui is a step ahead, and while annihilating the Sixth Division, he also sent a special combat team to seize Keelung Port. In this way, the supply of the Japanese army, as well as the retreat route, were completely cut off. And this is obviously very dangerous for the Japanese army.

"Lord Wang. Now Zhao Xi's third division, Zhu Yuan's fourth division, has begun to enter the rear of Taipei, has begun to dig trenches, ready to stay and defend the Japanese army at any time. The Japanese army wants to break through, this is simply impossible. We have cut off the rear of the Japanese army, and we have formed a large encirclement. Strategically, it has taken the absolute initiative. The Japanese did not expect that our general offensive would come so quickly, so that they could not make adjustments in time. And the next thing we do is to hold this encirclement in time, and then the Japanese army will be starved to death sooner or later. They only have one Taipei City, and our people have been evacuated, they simply can't come up with any useful hostages to threaten! Hu Wei said.

Wang Guorui smiled, because he had exchanged 10,000 Japanese prisoners for 50,000 people in Taipei. And the Japanese army has no place to threaten Wang Guorui, anyway, Taipei is already an empty city, and Wang Guorui can bomb at will. Don't be afraid of anything that accidentally hurts your own people. As for the real estate of those people, then this is another matter, anyway, if the Japanese army is not annihilated, then Wang Guorui will not be able to occupy Taiwan at all, so some real estate matters will be said separately. After all, Wang Guorui's resistance to Japan was also for the good of the people of Taiwan, not some reactionary who wanted to prevent the people of Taiwan from living a good life.

The Japanese army no longer had anything to threaten them, they no longer had hostages. That Wang Guorui can let go of his hands and feet to fight. However, the situation of the Japanese army was now very unfavorable, and the supply of ammunition transported by ships in the rear had been interrupted. One bullet shell is one less. Wang Guorui has an advantage, that is, the Red Alert base can be produced at any time, and it is in Taiwan, and it does not need to be transported from overseas. In this way, Japan's long-distance transportation would be fatal if the supply line was cut off. As for the next, the Japanese army has to live with their fingers crossed. Apparently bullets and shells are scarce.

And Wang Guorui didn't need to do anything else next, just to intercept the Japanese army's breakthrough, and then slowly consume the Japanese army's ammunition, food and energy. Even, if they don't come out, they will either be forced to break through. Or starve to death. Of course, another option is to surrender to Wang Guorui. However, once the more than 100,000 Japanese troops surrendered, I am afraid that Japan's plan to invade and occupy Taiwan this time will be completely aborted.

As long as Wang Guorui surrounds the Japanese army to the death and does not let the Japanese army break through, then the next situation is what Wang Guorui said. At that time, Wang Guorui can rely on this more than 100,000 "hostages" to threaten Japan, so does Japan choose to want the lives of these more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers, or does it continue to let Wang Guorui annihilate them?

Wang Guorui believed that Japan would soon admit defeat, and the war would soon be over. After all, there was no qualified army in Japan, and Japan had only trained seven divisions and regiments, that is, the six divisions numbered first to sixth, plus the Guards Division. Now the Guards Division was almost completely annihilated, the 4th Division was annihilated by 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 people surrendered as a whole. The 6th Division was wiped out except for the cavalry wing. In this way, Japan had lost 70,000 troops, and 60,000 were killed in battle. In this way, the Japanese army has lost 60,000 troops in Taiwan, which is almost one-third of the total Japanese army, which is very dangerous.

Once the remaining 100,000-odd troops are lost in Taiwan again, Japan will find itself in a situation where "a big country has no troops." Japan has already sent all the trained units to Taiwan, and the newly formed units in the country are all new recruits and do not have any combat effectiveness. Once more than 100,000 troops are annihilated in Taiwan, all kinds of opposition forces in Japan, and even foreign forces in various countries, will once again frantically destroy Japan. At that time, the results of decades of Meiji Restoration will be ruined. These more than 100,000 Japanese troops, which are the backbone of Japan now, will be in danger once they are lost.

Therefore, Japan will inevitably choose to end the war rather than continue to fight. Although Taiwan is important and an important means of containing China, it is insignificant compared to its entire national security. Even if you can't keep your own country, are you still thinking about how to expand? Therefore, once Japan finds that these more than 100,000 soldiers are surrounded and even in danger of being destroyed, it will most likely choose to end the war.

"This war may soon be over! As long as we and Japan are willing to take a step back, it may not be difficult to end. Wang Guorui said.

And Hu Wei immediately asked: "Will Japan accept defeat?" ”

"Hu Wei, you can't just look at us in Taiwan, but also look at the situation that Japan is facing now. We should treat the world as a whole, not just look at our own one-third of an acre. Now that the time has come to this era, we can't just focus on ourselves. You have to have an international perspective so that you can really see something. Although I don't want to admit this, Japan has done a better job than us, and they have seized the opportunity to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and even defeated our mainland. If it weren't for me, if it wasn't for me having some special means, then we would all have lost. If we don't work hard, we're probably going to lag behind Japan all the time. At that time, we will be looked down upon by our words, and it will be really a shame and a big loss. Wang Guorui said.

"Next, I will give you some information about the current economic situation in Japan, as well as Japan's fiscal revenue. How has Japan been able to accumulate power over the past few decades and then develop to a situation where it can defeat us? You may be able to analyze this and then you can come to the reason why we were able to end the war so quickly. We may not be strong enough now to compromise with Japan, and then take a step back and choose a temporary peaceful ending. ”

And Hu Wei immediately asked: "Did we just let Japan go like this?" ”

"Of course not, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, we still have a chance! Even if we annihilate more than 100,000 Japanese troops now, what can we do? Our Taiwan is still Taiwan, but Japan completely hates us. On the contrary, we have not been able to lift the state of war. ”

"We Taiwan is an isolated island, and we can never leave the support of the mainland. If we are in a state of war with Japan all the time, then the Japanese warships can blockade us at any time, then we have no development ability in an isolated island. That's why we have to compromise with the Japanese, and we have to end the state of war so that we can communicate with the outside world and develop. We suffer a loss, which means that without a navy, we cannot guarantee the security of our own maritime frontiers, so we have to compromise. ”

"Therefore, we must stop the state of war in the future, and then work hard to develop our own navy, so that we can really survive independently in this world, and we can really develop steadily!"

Wang Guorui actually wants to compromise, but if the problem of the navy is not solved for a day, then it will be blocked by Japan and unable to get out. In the army, he may have an absolute advantage, but in the navy, he is not a fart. So once Japan blocks itself, then it really can't get out, and it will be troublesome. The best way is to use these more than 100,000 Japanese troops as a threat to get Japan to end the war, so that each other can take a step back and gain peace for a period of time. And Wang Guorui can develop and prepare to build his own navy, so that the next time the war begins, he will not be afraid of the Japanese. (To be continued......)
