After the Yizhou Army landed in Kaohsiung, the fighting in Taiwan has been smooth sailing, most of the garrison brigades of the Japanese army in Taiwan are second-line troops, and the three divisions of the elite 12th Army were basically disabled when they landed in Kaohsiung, from Tainan to Taichung, and then to Hsinchu and Taoyuan, the 31st Army is invincible, but also defeats countless enemies.

This time, he was blocked at the fortress of Dadongshan in Guishan, and the arrogant commander of the 31st Army, Wu Wei, was a little embarrassed, and he had just promised the commander to attack Taipei within a week, but on the first day, he was blocked by a small hill, and the 93rd Division lost its troops and lost one, and the deputy battalion commander sacrificed one, but he still did not advance an inch.

A phone call came, and Wu Wei scolded Xu Jin, the commander of the 93rd Division, "Is it that without artillery and air force, your 93rd Division will not even fight?" ”

Senior Commander Xu is also very depressed, this broken place is simply a place where a man is in charge, with such a large elevation angle, it is difficult to climb up. It's really not that our army is not strong, it's really ......

But the army commander gave a death order, and the fortress must be taken today, Xu Jin and his chief of staff and several brigade commanders studied and decided to use barrage to advance simultaneously. That is, at the same time as the artillery bombardment, the infantry charged and approached the enemy's position, although accidental injuries were inevitable, but rather than let the troops struggle under the enemy's machine-gun fire, it was better to take Dadongshan in one go.

This time, the scale of the artillery bombardment was larger, the howitzer battalions of the three brigades of the 93rd Division were all arranged in front of the Dadongshan fortress, and closer to the battlefield, the heavy mortar companies attached to the regiment were lined up, and Xu Jin took out almost all the heavy firepower of the 93rd Division to suppress the fortress.

Another battalion of Yizhou troops rushed forward, and the artillery fire was extended in echelons. Seeing that the Han army braved the artillery fire, the Japanese army who wanted to break out of the anti-artillery hole to fight for courage was also directly hit by the mortar tail bomb in the trench. Taking advantage of the situation, the assault forces approached again, and in order to avoid further accidental damage, the howitzers had stopped firing, and only the more accurate mortar groups were still trying to suppress the Japanese in the trenches.

Twenty meters, ten meters, five meters...... Master Xu, who was holding the telescope, waved his arm, "Rush up!" ”

In the trench, it was already a hand-to-hand encounter, although the Japanese army in a desperate fight had a slight upper hand in the bayonet technology, but the DH-37 automatic rifle in the hands of the Han army had more advantages in close combat, and the situation in the trench gradually fell to the Yizhou army, Xu Jin was just about to wave his hand to order the follow-up troops, but the Han soldiers in the dark green military uniform in the trench suddenly fell a large piece, and the Japanese army wearing a khaki military uniform holding a 38 cover suddenly recaptured the position.

Xu Jin was shocked, and the telescope was raised upward, only to find that in the second line of positions on the hillside, a group of people without military uniforms accurately blocked and killed the Han army that rushed to the position when the two sides were scuffling just now.

It's the Takasago Volunteers again, "This group of bastards who have forgotten their ancestors!" Commander Xu stomped his feet hatefully, and paid the price of a battalion that was basically disabled, so he finally rushed to the trench, and was actually destroyed by a group of traitors, or they didn't think they were traitors at all, "You shouldn't be soft when you move the village!" ”

There was another buzzing sound in the sky, and there was a burst of cheers from the Han army, whose morale was somewhat low. At this time, the planes that dared to appear over Taiwan could only be the Royal Air Force of the Han Dynasty, although the soldiers also knew that in this special terrain, the bombers also had no good way to take the position on the steep slope, but they had just experienced a failed attack, and it was good for the air force to bombard those little devils fiercely.

The Howlers came out again, not intending to drop some innocuous ordinary aerial bombs horizontally again. Being scolded by the commander-in-chief, the commander of the Air Force suddenly remembered that there was still a batch of special aerial bombs in the ammunition depot! Although there is an order to avoid the use of such aerial bombs in the Taiwan region as much as possible, that refers to areas with high urban population density, and purely military fortresses such as Dadongshan are not in this case, right?

This kind of special aviation bomb is exactly the napalm that His Majesty the Emperor of Han asked to step up research and development and increase production. Napalm, which translates to napalm in English, was taught by Harvard professor Louis? The research and development of the chemical laboratory led by Fisse is an English mixture of aluminum salt and palmitic acid. When the bomb explodes, it produces a high-temperature flame and contains a gelatinous substance made of gasoline and other chemicals, which splashes out in all directions, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees Celsius, and can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.

In later generations, the use of napalm was considered inhumane, and military powers, including the U.S. military, destroyed large quantities of stockpiles.

But for the Japanese, Zhong Yi did not think that there was anything embarrassing about using such bombs, and the Helleye strategic bomber unit was asked to strengthen its training in throwing napalm bombs and prepare for the bombing of the Japanese mainland. This time, the air force stationed in Taiwan was the first to use it at the Dadongshan fortress. The bombs dropped by the Howler bombers ignited a meter-high blue flame on the stones in front of the fortress.

"The napalm that splashes on people after the napalm explodes is like lard paste, viscous and burn-resistant. If a person uses his hands to slap the fire, the more he shoots, the bigger the fire, and if he rolls on the ground to extinguish the fire, he will get the whole body on fire. And once there is a lot of fire on people, the people on the side should try to stay away from the person on fire. Because of the hard struggle of the person on fire, it is easy to throw the burning oil block on the bystanders, forming a secondary killing effect. If it is for humanitarian reasons, it is advisable to end the life of the person on fire with a gun. Because of the victims of napalm, it can be said that death is the greatest relief. ”

This paragraph is a passage expounded by Division Commander Xu Jin when he reported to the above on the use of incendiary bombs. The chemical reaction between aluminum salts and palmitic acid condenses gasoline into a gelatinous substance, which can ignite a fire when burned on anything, even the surface of water.

The mountain fortress carefully built by the Japanese army, the air defense and anti-artillery, but there is no fire prevention, in fact, it is not without fire prevention, and the bamboo forests on the hillside are all cut down, forming a large open land. However, napalm, which can be burned on stones, can be said to be impossible to prevent, and although the Japanese troops who were caught in the fire were miserable and miserable, they could not escape the ordeal when they hid in the air-raid shelters -- some of the chemicals in the bombs produced a large amount of poisonous smoke when burned, and people would suffocate to death in a short period of time.

The anti-artillery hole carved out in the rocks with great effort became a living coffin for the Japanese army, and it was impossible to run out, and the trench was full of magic fires that could ignite stones, leaving it inside, and the poisonous smoke was increasing, and the Japanese soldiers seemed to have seen the smiling face of death.

Miserable!

A few hours later, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army who climbed Dadong Mountain thought of these four words in unison. The piles of twisted black charcoal, it is impossible to tell that they are the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the poisonous smoke in the anti-artillery hole is even more terrifying, and the hideousness on their faces makes people shudder when they think of their pain before they die. When encountering the wounded Japanese soldiers who were still wailing, you can see the grateful expressions on their faces when they replenish their guns.

Xu Jin did not check the situation in the fortress too much, such a tragic situation would increase the soldiers' fear of war, and ordered the sappers to plant explosives in the anti-artillery holes, and the elevation of Dadong Mountain dropped by tens of meters in the loud rumbling sound.
