After a few days of rest, after the Japanese captured Taipei, they immediately continued to send troops to attack southern Taiwan. And if you want to attack the south of Taiwan, you must pass through Hsinchu County, that is, Hsinchu County, where Wang Guorui serves as the magistrate. The first to be dispatched by the Japanese army was the 5th Brigade of the 4th Wing of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Guards Division. The Japanese troops of these Guards Divisions were troops stationed in Tokyo for a long time to besiege the Japanese Imperial Palace, and they were all close associates of the Japanese emperor from top to bottom. These Guards Divisions are selected from the elite of the country, so they are also very proud. This time, they came to receive Taiwan on behalf of the emperor, and this time they opened up their territory and expanded their territory, but they did a great job! Therefore, they are also working very hard, obviously to strive for meritorious service.

"Captain Matsumoto, as the vanguard of our fifth brigade this time, we will definitely be able to take Hsinchu County, and then fight all the way to Tainan and occupy the whole of Taiwan. At that time, Captain Matsumoto will be the first hero of Japan, so isn't it close to the end of the year? A traitor guide said.

"Yo Xi Yo Xi, you can talk! This time, we have defeated hundreds of thousands of troops from the mainland, so can't we defeat some people in Taiwan? These people haven't been trained much, and we can completely sweep them away. And this time we landed and captured Taipei, and the loss was no more than 100 people. Just lost more than a hundred people to conquer the capital of Taiwan, these Taiwanese troops are simply a mess of combat effectiveness! Captain Matsumoto said.

However, if this Matsumoto knows that in the original history, when the Japanese army landed on Taiwan, almost no losses were lost, and although more than 4,000 people were lost in the entire process of conquering Taiwan, most of them died of disease, and only more than 100 people died in battle. And this time the Japanese army landed, and directly lost a hundred people, which is much better than the original history. This is also the result of Wang Guorui providing those old-fashioned rifles, although those old-fashioned rifles are much worse than the rifles of the Japanese army, but the lethality is still better than that of cold weapons, and the losses of the Japanese army are much greater than in the original history.

"Captain Matsumoto, I heard earlier that it is Hsinchu County, which is located in the throat area from Taipei, Taiwan to Tainan, but it is a very important place. Anyone who wants to get from Taipei to Tainan needs to pass through this Hsinchu County. Hsinchu County is narrow and surrounded by mountains, so it is an important area that guards our Taiwan. As long as Hsinchu County is conquered, then our next attack on Taiwan can be said to be a matter of course. Once Hsinchu County is breached, then we can completely take Taiwan ahead of schedule. The traitor guide said.

The Japanese army's plan was actually very simple, that is, to attack from Taipei to Tainan. After they captured Taipei, they first took a rest, then fought Taoyuan and Hsinchu, and finally fought all the way to Tainan, so as to complete the plan to capture Taiwan. And they all underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Taiwanese army, they think that the combat effectiveness of the Taiwanese army is only so, so naturally they see all the armed forces in Taiwan very clearly.

"Hmph, when we landed, one squadron defeated Taipei, which was defended by thousands of people, but now we have a brigade of 1,000 people, and we can completely defeat tens of thousands of enemies, and our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible!" Captain Matsumoto shouted.

"Yes, yes, the Imperial Japanese Army is invincible!" The traitor guide said.

Soon, in the headquarters of the mountain road next to Hsinchu County, Wang Guorui was waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

"Wang Zhixian, just now there was news from the reconnaissance unit in front that the Japanese army was less than five kilometers away from our ambush circle!" Liu Feng said.

Liu Feng is in charge of intelligence and reconnaissance, so now he takes the initiative to report intelligence to Wang Guorui, and he is also responsible for reconnaissance about the movements of the Japanese army.

"How many of them are there?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Liu Feng immediately said: "They are about 1,000 people, that is, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army." According to the establishment of the Japanese brigade provided by Wang Zhixian, if nothing else, they should have a brigade running squad with two 70 mm caliber brigade guns. As long as we can catch them by surprise, then we can completely make their artillery unable to exert their strength, and our artillery can take the opportunity to bombard them violently, and they will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

This bit of military common sense, Liu Feng has also made up for it during this time, so he probably knows the essence of this operation. This operation is nothing more than a sneak attack, and then the enemy's artillery is unable to exert its power, and then use its own artillery to bombard the opponent so that they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Without the superiority of artillery, the superiority of the Japanese army would be completely gone.

You must know that for this "first blow", Wang Guorui transferred an infantry regiment and an artillery battalion. The artillery battalion has twelve cannons, and the firepower is more than six times greater than that of the opponent. In addition, ordinary infantry also has a lot of grenadiers and heavy machine guns, which is simply armed to the teeth. And the Japanese army in this period is no better than the Japanese army in World War II. If it was the Japanese army in World War II, then Wang Guorui's army was not too much of an advantage. However, the Japanese army in this era did not have enough machine guns at all, not even grenadiers and light machine guns, and the firepower density was not at all the opponent of Wang Guorui's troops.

And this time, Wang Guorui plans to teach the Japanese army an unforgettable lesson here, first of all, he must eat one of their brigades, so that he can give the Japanese army a "blow to the head" and boost the morale of Taiwan's military and people to resist Japan. After all, at this time, although everyone was agitated, they were still uncertain about the future of the anti-Japanese resistance. Only by making a good start can we boost morale and give soldiers the confidence to carry out the next anti-Japanese war. Morale and confidence are very important, more important than the current weapons and equipment. As long as the soldiers see that the Japanese army has nothing to fear, it will be considered a success.

"Report, the Japanese army is less than two kilometers away from us!" The Scout shouted.

"Probe!" Wang Guorui said.

The scout soon ran away, ready to continue to spy on the Japanese troops. At this time, the Japanese troops were not far from the ambush position, and they were all continuing to advance, apparently not paying attention to the possible enemy in front.

"Captain Matsumoto, the front is Hsinchu County, and there is a mountain range next to it, maybe the enemy will also set up an ambush here, do you want to go and reconnoitre?" A Japanese staff officer said.

But the captain Matsumoto said disdainfully, "What is there to be afraid of? We don't have to worry, our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible. We have even defeated hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, what can a small Taiwan do to us? Even if they were all old rifles from 90 years ago, we wouldn't be afraid. Our weapons are much more advanced than theirs, and we don't have to worry about any enemy weapons at all! ”

The Japanese army still moved forward without the slightest defense, they didn't think how strong the Taiwanese army could be, anyway, even the capital of Taipei had been conquered, so what city could they not be breached? As for this Hsinchu County, they didn't take it seriously. And they also felt it from the weapons of the army in Taipei, although these Taiwanese troops did not know where they got some old rifles, but these old rifles did not pose much threat to them at all. Their rifles have a longer range, greater power, and higher accuracy than those of the Taiwanese army. Therefore, the Taiwan army can only rely on the so-called method of blind men and blind horses to shoot together, and this method is still stuck in the tactics of the era of queuing and shooting, which is not a climate for the Japanese army at all.

"Wang Zhixian, the Japanese army has reached the periphery of our encirclement and is walking into our encirclement!" Liu Feng said.

"Let everyone restrain the troops, don't shoot in advance, if you shoot in advance and alarm the Japanese army, then it will be troublesome! The Japanese are not ordinary people, they are much more powerful than ordinary bandits. If they had fired earlier, they would not have gone any further. Wang Guorui said.

This kind of ambush, the most particular thing is the time to shoot, if the gun is fired early, it will inevitably be discovered by the enemy, unable to achieve the maximum effect, and even expose yourself. Therefore, the soldiers must be restrained from the idea of shooting, otherwise the losses will be very huge. But fortunately, there are many Red Alert soldiers in the army, and they can completely guide the soldiers so that they can shoot in no hurry. Don't look at it as just a move to suppress the idea of shooting, but without regular training and a capable grassroots commander, it can't be done.

When many recruits go to the battlefield, they are often very nervous and will be stimulated to shoot. And Wang Guorui is glad that he has a red police base, and he can get a lot of red police soldiers to serve as grassroots officers, these people are instilled with combat experience, so they can influence and drive the troops to calm down, this is also the role of a veteran, and it is very useful to serve as a grassroots officer.

"The Japanese have reached the center of our ambush circle!" Someone reported.

"The vanguard of the Japanese army is approaching the end of our ambush circle!"

"The vanguard of the Japanese army is ready to come out of the ambush circle!"

When Wang Guorui heard this, he immediately said, "Prepare, give me-"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Wang Guorui hadn't given the order yet, but there was a burst of bean popping sound immediately, obviously someone had shot.

"Bastard, if you don't listen to orders and shoot without permission, I'm going to punish him! Forget it, it's too late to hold you accountable at this time, but fortunately you didn't make too much of a mistake! Artillery give me a quick fire! Wang Guorui said.

"Boom!" The artillery immediately began to fire shells, and then the shells suddenly bombarded the Japanese along the parabola.
