The time is very fast, it has come to February 12, 1896 AD, and today is Chinese New Year's Eve. Originally, on this day of the reunion of thousands of families, but now in Taiwan, Wang Guorui, the leader of Taiwan's anti-Japanese resistance, and ordinary soldiers and civilians in Taiwan, can't laugh. Because according to the news, a large force of the Japanese army will soon come, and it is said that there are hundreds of ships, which is simply covering the sky and the sun. And now that the Japanese army is obviously about to land, their thoughts on Taiwan are still immortal.

"Damn, it's not going to be a good New Year, these devils are really bastards!" Wang Guorui scolded secretly.

In Keelung, Taipei, hundreds of Japanese ships came to Keelung, Taipei, waiting to continue the landing. And because most of the combined fleet troops went to the coast of the mainland, it increased the pressure on the Manchu government, so that the Manchu government did not dare to continue to abolish the Treaty of Shimonoseki. The Manchu government was also frightened by the Japanese warships, so they did not dare to come to Taiwan to fight. However, even without the cover of the large forces of the Combined Fleet, the Japanese only sent some old ships to cover the landing of the army. However, with the fact that Taiwan does not have a navy, it cannot prevent the Japanese army from continuing to land on Taiwan.

On the bridge of an old Japanese warship, Lieutenant General Kawakami Caoroku, commander-in-chief of the Japanese attack on Taiwan, was directing the Japanese army to prepare for landing in the bridge.

"Your Excellency Commander, our troops are ready to start the landing, and our navy can cover the landing of the army at any time!" A Japanese Navy Commander said.

And Kawakami Caoliu immediately said: "Give me landing, if anyone wants to attack halfway." Then the navy will give me artillery cover! In this era, the tactics of half-crossing were almost useless, especially for landing at sea. We have warships to use as cover. None of them were able to make a half-cross attack. They don't have a navy, we can easily let the navy cover the land to land, and then they can only watch us land! ”

Kawakami Caoliu was not worried that Wang Guorui would send troops to stop them from landing, because blocking them was useless, it was just a waste of the lives of his soldiers. Because they have a navy, although these warship models are very old, but they also represent warships! The power of a warship's naval guns is not comparable to that of ordinary army guns. Wang Guorui's current largest caliber artillery is the shore artillery in Tainan, but that is a shore artillery, something that cannot be moved. And the army artillery that is able to move. The maximum caliber is only 105 mm, and there are not many such artillery, that is, a heavy artillery regiment directly under the command of Wang Guorui. However, each of the Japanese naval guns started at 100 millimeters, which is the gap.

"Lord Wang. Do you want Miss Tanya to blow up and sink those warships? Isn't Miss Tanya able to blow up and sink a ship with a bag of explosives? Chen Liyan asked.

But Wang Guorui said: "No. It's too late. The Japanese army probably had hundreds of troop carriers, and it was not bad that each ship could have 500 people. Although Miss Tanya can swim to blow up Japanese ships, Miss Tanya can only carry five explosive bags at a time, otherwise he can't do much in the sea. If you carry too much, then I am afraid that Miss Tanya will overwhelm the sea water and will not be able to float. And only five at a time, which means that you can only sink up to five ships at a time. That's a maximum of 2,500 casualties. And then Miss Tanya ran from us to Taipei to stop the other party from landing, which took two hours at a time. Two hours. It was enough for the Japanese army to make the first landings. So we can only kill more than 2,000 of them at a time. ”

"Of course, the main thing is that we don't want to expose Miss Tanya's card. Although the Japanese army knew that Miss Tanya was very strong in land warfare. But I didn't know that her kung fu on the water was also very good. If we expose it in advance for more than 2,000 Japanese troops, then I'm afraid this method will not work next time. The Japanese army is not stupid, the probability that they have the preparation to succeed is too low! ”

The reason why Wang Guorui will not let Tanya stop the Japanese army from landing is that it is actually more meaningless, because Tanya can only dispatch at most once, and it is more than 2,000 Japanese troops at a time, not even yet. Because if the warship is blown up and sunk, the ship next to it can be rescued quickly, so it doesn't mean much. But the price, that is, Tanya's water warfare ability, will also be exposed, and then other warships of the Japanese army will also be on guard, and it will be useless. In general, it is difficult for the same means to have a second chance to work. If you use it this time. The next time the Japanese army will not be fooled, it will be a loss. Instead of exposing Tanya for more than 2,000 ordinary Japanese infantry, it is better to use good steel on the blade and use it to blow up Japanese warships to make money. An advanced warship is more valuable than more than 2,000 infantry, and a warship is bigger than a Japanese wing for Wang Guorui's danger. So on the whole, it is better not to prevent the Japanese army from landing.

"Let our troops retreat from the vicinity of Taipei!" Wang Guorui said.

"Retreat?" Hu Wei asked.

Wang Guorui said helplessly: "We must retreat, leave some space, we can't be too far from the shore." The Japanese warships are not vegetarians, and we can only retreat in this situation, otherwise the Japanese warships can support at any time, and our department will suffer a lot. We can't afford to mess with it, we can only dodge! Although Miss Tanya can blow up the warship, it is better not to use it. At present, the warships of the Japanese army are all old models, and it is not worth it for them. If you want to bomb, you will also bomb the most important combined fleet of the Japanese army, and don't waste the opportunity on these rags. ”

With Wang Guorui's order, the Japanese troops who had already landed soon began to attack in the direction of Taipei. The siege of Taipei City has been abandoned by Wang Guorui, and the Japanese troops of the Guards Division in Taipei City soon felt that they had encountered a savior, and their domestic support troops finally came.

"Lieutenant General Kawakami Cao, I want to kill you!" Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu said with a full face.

And a staff officer next to Kawakami Caoliu immediately snorted: "Your Royal Highness, you have been defeated this time, and you have lost almost the entire Guards Division, what should you be guilty of?" You actually lost to the militia forces of the Shina people, what a shame for our entire Japanese Empire! ”

After a long time in this battle, it can be said that the North Shirakawa Palace has lost to the bones, and if it weren't for the identity of a prince, I'm afraid it would have been pulled back to the country for trial. And people at home also looked down on him, so a Japanese staff officer dared to be so unkind to him.

Kita-Shirakawa said bitterly: "Where are they militia, they are more powerful than the German army!" ”

"Hmph, it's Your Excellency the Prince, you're incompetent, aren't you?" The staff officer snorted.

"Smack!" Kawakami Caoliu slapped the staff officer in the face and said angrily: "Your Excellency Noh Kushi's identity is also the prince of the imperial family of our Great Japanese Empire, and he is also a lieutenant general in terms of military rank, no matter what, it is not you who can speak like this!" ”

"Hey!" The staff officer said.

And Kawakami Caoroku immediately said, "Your Excellency, can you introduce me to this enemy?" You say they are better than the German army, what's going on? ”

After a long while, Kawakami Caoliu finally listened to what Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nohō said, and he also had a preliminary understanding of Wang Guorui's army. And then, Kawakami Koroku also began to look at the map of Taiwan. And Kawakami Caoroku is not a person who underestimates the enemy, and anyone who underestimates the enemy can never become a high-ranking officer. Even if they will be a little underestimated at first, they will definitely pay attention to it once they suffer hardship. If you keep underestimating the enemy, then no one will be able to go to the top. Kawakami had commanded the entire Japanese army against China before, and it can be said that he was the de facto chief planner of the Japanese side of the First Sino-Japanese War. He will definitely not despise China, let alone any enemy. Before, Kita-Shirakawa Palace was able to lead the Guards Division to lose miserably here, so he naturally didn't think it was accidental. If there is such a coincidence in this world, then Kawakami Caoliu will definitely not believe it.

"I'm ashamed to say that if I hadn't learned the tactics of the other side, we would have perished much earlier. Their trench warfare, as well as artillery suppression, artillery preparation, these tactics are all learned from them. It's a pity that I wouldn't have lost without their good conditions. Because I don't have as much firepower as theirs, I'm not going to be an anti-dog! Kita-Shirakawa Miya can be very direct "self-criticism" for a long time.

"Your Excellency, you still have to learn the tactics of the Zhina?" Someone asked disdainfully.

"Smack!" Kawakami slammed the table again and said, "What about learning the enemy's tactics?" We, the Empire of Japan, will still conquer the world in the future, and the Germans are also among the goals we want to conquer! But aren't we going to learn from the Germans now? Learn from the enemy, there is no shame in this! If we don't learn from the enemy, we will all perish sooner or later. ”

Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nohku showed a grateful look to Kawakami Caoliu, after all, Kita-Shirakawa Palace Nengjiu was excusing him. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Kita-Shirakawa Palace had the identity of a prince for a long time, Kawakami Caoliu would not have exonerated him.

"Now no matter what, our enemies are not weak. They have more firepower than we have, more advanced tactics, so we have to be cautious. They will be the toughest opponents of our Imperial Japan! We have to defeat them, or we won't even talk about occupying Taiwan. If they merge with the mainland government of the Shina people, then we in Japan will be in danger. Kawakami said.
