"The Governor has arrived, all of them stand!"

Opposite Wang Guorui's army, the head of the Japanese army had already begun to meet, and it was obvious that there was going to be a heavy military operation. The scene of this meeting was solemn, the atmosphere was gloomy as if it was going to rain, and everyone's faces showed a solemn look, which was obviously very heavy.

"Now, we declare that we are ready for a decisive battle against the enemy in front of us! Our Guards Division will have a decisive battle with the enemy in front of us that will determine the fate of our Taiwan, and if we win and completely occupy Taiwan, if we fail, then I don't know what will happen to our imperial army in Taiwan. Therefore, this decisive battle will inevitably be carried out, and we ask you to work together to defeat this enemy in front of us. Do you have any comments? The Taiwanese governor of the Japanese army, Shiki Kayama, said.

But a Japanese soldier came out and said: "Governor, division commander, I will fight a decisive battle with the opposite army now, and now we don't know anything about the opposite army, and we will inevitably suffer a big loss if we rashly fight with them." And they may know us very well, and even know about the establishment of our army and so on, and they are obviously prepared. Therefore, when the enemy understands us but we do not understand the enemy, if we rush to a decisive battle, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Akashi Nakasa, do you have any opinions? What information did the people you sent to investigate find? Shiki Kayama asked.

The Nakasa said with a look of shame: "We haven't found any information yet, and the other party seems to be like a divine help, and all the people we sent to investigate have been found out by them." And none of us were able to break into them, and we didn't know what's going on. ”

These Japanese soldiers did not know that Wang Guorui's military dogs could identify the enemy's ordinary spies, and ordinary spies could not hide from the military dogs. As for the high-level spies, Japan has not been able to send them to investigate Wang Guorui at present, so that the Japanese army's investigation is almost useless, which makes them very depressed.

"I can't wait, I'm not waiting!" Kita-Shirakawa Miyano said.

Next, Shiki Kayama took the initiative to say: "We can't continue to wait, once the time drags on, it will be really very unfavorable to us, and there is even a risk of annihilation." You should probably know that a woman on the other side who doesn't know what it is actually killed more than 700 people of our second wing in one night. More than 700 people died in one night, which is simply a horrific result. They're just one person, one person! How many times can we afford them to do this? If that woman comes again like this, our Guards Division may be wiped out. More than 700 at a time, then more than 20,000 people in our Guards Division, and in more than a month, they wiped out our entire army! So if this delay continues, and they send this evil out again, then we will definitely die more. ”

"So, I have already discussed with His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time we will have a decisive battle. Although this decisive battle looks very bad for us, we can only bite the bullet. The enemy is too terrifying, and the longer we delay, the worse it will be for us. Especially the 'banshee', we don't know how many of them have them, and if they come more, then we are really going to be wiped out. If you die on the battlefield, it's still easier to say. But if they die at the hands of such demons for no reason, then our soldiers are really wronged. Therefore, if you want to curb the combat power of this banshee, you must do your best to conduct a large-scale battle. Only by engaging in a large-scale battle can the banshee be prevented from being dispatched by a hail of bullets. ”

"And we are not without our advantages, although our Guards Division has experienced several blows, we still have more than 20,000 people, and our strength is quite abundant. According to our estimates, our enemies are probably more than 10,000 people, so we don't have to worry too much. At present, our Guards Division originally had 98 artillery pieces in its entire division, but after the destruction of the 1st Wing, the 4th Wing lost a brigade, and finally the demon girl attacked a few days ago, and we lost some artillery. However, our entire division still has seventy-four cannons, so we don't have to worry too much about our enemies. During this time, we found that our enemy should have about eighteen cannons, so we still have an absolute advantage in artillery. In this way, we can gradually use the advantage of artillery fire to strike at the enemy, and we can say that we have the upper hand. ”

Hearing what Kayama Shiki's statement was, everyone was relieved. The artillery on their side is very abundant, and this may be the only "advantage" of the Japanese army. The Japanese division was regularly staffed with an artillery wing with forty-eight cannons. The lower brigade has a mountain artillery squadron and a field artillery squadron, and the lower brigade has a two-gun artillery squadron. If such a Japanese division is established according to the regular formation, theoretically it can have a force of 98 cannons. As Japan's "Imperial Forest Army", the Guards Division is fully equipped with 98 cannons.

Of course, after the previous battles, the Japanese artillery also suffered certain losses, and now only seventy-four cannons remain. However, seventy-four cannons is still a formidable number, and if it is based on the firepower situation, it can completely suppress Wang Guorui's army.

"Gentlemen, let's work together to destroy this enemy in front of us, and then work together to expand the territory for His Majesty the Emperor!" Shiki Kayama said.

"Hey!" The Japanese officers said together.

On the other side, Wang Guorui also began to explain the situation to everyone.

"After Tanya takes the initiative to make trouble, I'm afraid the Japanese army will prepare for a decisive battle with us. Because Tanya is so powerful, the Japanese army will probably be afraid. If Miss Tanya goes to make trouble a few more times, then maybe the Japanese army will be wiped out. So as long as the Japanese army is not stupid, they will inevitably have a decisive battle with us. The Japanese army now has 20,000 men, and their first wing has been completely annihilated by us, and the first wing that has been formed now is all transferred from different units, and it has not been clearly run in in a short period of time, and it cannot fight us. At present, the Japanese army theoretically has four wings, and our enemy is the second, third, and fourth wings, and they are still complete except for the third wing, and the other wings have been cleaned up by us. Therefore, many of their troops are lacking. ”

"As for their other troops, there are probably four technical arms wings, namely the four wings of the engineer, cavalry, and artillery teams. They have only about a thousand engineers, and they don't have too many weapons to fight, so they can be ignored. And the baggage wing, more than 3,000 people, almost no combat effectiveness, so it can also be ignored. As for the cavalry wing, there are about 1,400 people, and Taiwan has many mountains, so it is not suitable for cavalry combat, and the cavalry can be ignored for the time being. And the only thing we were afraid of was the artillery, the Japanese artillery wing plus the artillery under our command added up to 98 cannons, and we were beaten by only about 70 cannons. ”

"On the other hand, we are currently proficient in operating artillery, that is, only the artillery regiment under Commander Chen Liyan. In the rear, only one battalion of artillery can be used, so that all the artillery that we can use is about seventy-four guns, no more, no less, just like the Japanese army. Judging by the number of artillery, no one has an advantage and is not too disadvantaged. ”

"However, you should note that we have one more advantage. That's why we have grenadiers. Our grenadiers have a maximum range of 500 meters, and if they are densely packed, they can be used as a light artillery. And our Maxine machine guns are also very numerous, and the firepower of ordinary infantry is much stronger than that of the Japanese army. So, you don't have to worry about our numerical disadvantage at all. Although we are outnumbered, our weapons are more dense than the other side, so we don't have to fear anything. ”

And all the officers under Wang Guorui were relieved when they heard this. The superiority in artillery is equal, but the infantry is much better than the opponent in terms of weapons, so it seems that this battle is not impossible to fight. This time it was a decisive battle, and everyone was relieved.

And Wang Guorui saw everyone like this, and they all began to feel a little relieved. This time is actually a decisive battle, as long as the Japanese army is defeated, it can be exchanged for about half a year of stable development period in Taiwan. Wang Guorui can be sure that the Japanese army will not abandon Taiwan because of the defeat of the Guards Division. And then the defeat of the Guards Division entered the next situation, that is, the strategic stalemate. At that time, a large number of Wang Guorui's troops began to complete the "riot", so that Wang Guorui's army was not much different from the Japanese army. Unless the Japanese army is willing to come to a war that is a hundred times more tragic than the First Sino-Japanese War, then they may not be able to occupy Taiwan at all.

And in fact, the main core of this battle is to train these officers. If they had been fighting on the superiority of their weapons, the officers under these men would not have been able to get training at all. If a country's army only relies on its superiority in weapons to fight without any strategic and tactical capabilities, it will one day fail. The advantage of weapons, one day the enemy will also catch up, and then it will depend on the ability of soldiers and officers. Therefore, the superiority of weapons can be relied on, but it cannot be relied on. Now this decisive battle is the time to test the combat level of both sides, as long as this battle is won, then Wang Guorui's army can really be regarded as a "finished army"!
