1548.Chapter 1548: Surprise attack on Kaohsiung


The strength of the Japanese army in Taiwan is, in general, divided into three parts.The Plateau Division was stationed in the Kaohsiung area, the Qichuan Division was stationed in the Keelung area of Taipei, and the last miscellaneous unit, the Hexia Brigade, was stationed in the Taoyuan area.The Japanese have occupied Taiwan for nearly half a century, from the initial deterrence of killings to the current use of local police to maintain order.Their forces have been centrally managed and are no longer scattered in various places.The law and order in various places is managed by ordinary policemen.Gao Dong looked at the information in his hand and generally had a certain understanding of the opponent he was about to face.The information in his hand was provided by the Americans, and before this landing, American spies had already infiltrated Taiwan and found out the movements of the Japanese.It can be said that the Plateau Division stationed in Kaohsiung has been here since the first occupation of Taiwan.And many of them got married and had children locally, and even their grandchildren were already very large.The Takahara Division has been replenished many times from within Japan, but American intelligence says that the average age of this unit is over 35, and there are no new forces.Because they are like natives of this land, the minimum length of service of the soldiers has exceeded thirteen years, and some have even been here from the age of twenty to the age of seventy now, and they are still serving in the army.The combat capability of such a unit can be imagined."

Is it just a bunch of Japanese old soldiers?"

Hu Xinghan said disdainfully after reading the information.Gao Dong also laughed: "It is indeed an old man's army, not to mention their age, in terms of their combat level, it is a question whether there is still one."

After all, we haven't fought in fifty years, can we still fight?"

At this moment, a team of people and horses rushed towards Gaodong at high speed.Zhang Huilong took the lead, walked in front of Gao Dong and reported: "Captain, I met two towns in front.There are puppet troops guarding it, and it has been controlled by us" Along the way, we have encountered three towns in a row.However, in the end, they were surrounded by the First Legion, and then completely destroyed with the power of thunder.The purpose of this is to prevent the puppet army in the town from reporting like the Japanese."

How far is it from Kaohsiung?"

asked Gao Dong."

There are still 30 kilometers to be reconnoitred, and most of the Japanese are cowering in coastal defense positions and outside Kaohsiung, and they have no defense against us," Zhang Huilong said."

Very good" Gao Dong nodded: "Then follow the old method and kill the puppet army in the town" "Yes" Zhang Huilong turned around and left with his men."

Lao Hu, it's very close to Kaohsiung.At this time, we must not be discovered by the enemy.Now order the troops to speed up the march, and be sure to take the enemy by surprise before they react," Gao Dong turned to Hu Xinghan and said.Hu Xinghan nodded, and immediately strode to convey Gao Dong's order.At the moment, inside the city of Kaohsiung.At the headquarters of the Plateau Division, the commander of the division, Kazuo Takahara, was commanding his subordinates and wanted to move the headquarters outside the city, close to the coastal defense position.Not long ago, he had just received an order from the garrison headquarters to take strict precautions and absolutely not allow the enemy troops to land in the vicinity of Kaohsiung.Kazuo Takahara attached great importance to it and immediately ordered the whole army to enter combat preparation.And in order to better command the troops, he decided to go to the front line and live and die with the soldiers."

Sir, do you want to leave some people in the city to deal with related affairs" An elderly staff officer ran over.Kazuo Gao shook his head: "Our strength is limited, although we are a division, but it is less than the normal establishment of four thousand people.Now we must put all those who can be mobilized into the position, and we must not waste one. ”"Leave the city to the gendarmes and police, as long as the enemy army cannot land, there will be no chaos in Kaohsiung," Kazuo Takahara said confidently.The entire headquarters was moving rapidly, and a large number of military vehicles were moving quickly and driving out of the city.The people of Kaohsiung watched the devil's actions, and they didn't know and thought that the devil was trying to escape, otherwise why did they travel in such a hurry.Kazuo Takahara placed the main forces of his troops on the long coastal defense positions, leaving only the reserves under his personal command.Now, they just wait for the enemy to land on the beach they are stationed on, and then fight the enemy to the death.And at this moment, it is less than ten kilometers away from Kaohsiung.The main force of the First Army and the main force of the armored forces are rapidly advancing towards Kaohsiung."

Chief of Staff, it's only nine kilometers away from Kaohsiung, do you want to attack" Hu Xinghan, who had just finished listening to the scout's report, immediately turned his head and asked Gao Dong."

Is the road easy to walk," Gao Dong immediately asked."

It's a good fit for armored forces to charge."

Hu Xinghan nodded immediately.Gao Dong looked at his watch, then looked up and said, "Order the first division, follow behind the armored troops."

Within ten minutes, he rushed to Kaohsiung and caught the devil off guard" "Yes" Hu Xinghan yelled and turned around to convey the order.Soon, the armored forces that received the order, as well as the 1st Division, set off first.The armor roared, and the sound of the car's engine resounded through the sky.Dust rose into the sky, and the 1st Army launched a general attack on Kaohsiung.The distance of more than nine kilometers is almost in the blink of an eye for the armored units that are impacting at full speed.Soon, the armored troops took the lead in the city.And what made them feel strange was that they had been killed all the way to the periphery of the city, and they didn't encounter a single devil who resisted."

There's a devil running away from there," Suddenly, there was a rapid roar over the radio.He Sheng climbed out of the tank directly and looked into the distance.I saw dozens of devils fleeing from the city like lost dogs, and then ran towards the coastal area with their lives.He Sheng was amused by these devils, got back into the tank, picked up the radio and said: "Don't worry about them, let's go into the city" The tank troops drove into Kaohsiung from all directions, the city was like an empty city, and there was no resistance at all.drove all the way to the military police headquarters of the devils, and only then did I catch a few devils who didn't have time to escape.These devils are already very old, and the reason why they didn't run away is even more ridiculous, because they can't run."

Where did the Japanese troops in this city go?"

asked a tank officer, grabbing an old devil."

They, they all went to the coastal defense position" The old devil's eyes were full of fear."

Did you go to the coastal defense position" After He Sheng heard this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's just right, drive them all to the sea to feed the fish." ”It didn't take long for the news that Kaohsiung had been recovered by the First Army to spread to the coastal defense position.Kazuo Takahara jumped up from his chair in surprise and looked at his men who had escaped from the city in disbelief."

This, how is this possible, are you sure you are not mistaken," Takahara yelled anxiously."

It's impossible to mistake that they have tanks, and the tanks went straight into Kaohsiung.If we had run slowly, we would have all died by now," said one of the lieutenants of the military police, with a sad face.Kazuo Plateau's face turned pale: "Damn, where did they land from" "Sir, now we have no point in defending here The enemy army has tanks, but we don't even have more than 100 artillery pieces, and the difference in firepower is too great" A devil officer stepped forward and said eagerly: "We must get out of here quickly, otherwise, we may be wiped out" After listening to the words of his subordinates, Kazuo Takahara also realized that the situation was wrong.Although he was a division commander, he never fought.I sat in the position of the commander of this division for fifteen years, but I didn't expect that the first time I fought a war, I would have to decide life and death."

Immediately order all troops to move, and move quickly" Before he could finish his words, a sudden explosion was heard.Countless shells roared and fell, and his reserve was suddenly overturned by the bombers, and many supplies were ignited by the raging fire.Kazuo Takahara was shaken back by the blast current, his eyes now filled with fiery red light.The terrible war made him tremble, and the sound of death passing by at close range made him even more frightened from his heart."

Ah" screams came and went, and the sudden bombardment had already blown the reserve he led to pieces."

Retreat, retreat, retreat" At this moment, this is the only word that Kazuo Takahara can shout.He immediately began to retreat with his guards, and the reserves followed behind them.They didn't even want ammunition and supplies, not to mention the heavy supplies, they were only trying to flee for their lives under the bombardment of artillery fire in the sky at the moment.But maybe they were blown unconscious, or maybe they were panicked.The road on which Kazuo Tahara led his troops to retreat turned out to be a direct lead to his coastal defense position by the sea.At this moment, a large number of tanks are coming back quickly from the direction of Kaohsiung.A regiment of self-propelled artillery covered them behind, and the tank troops, like soldiers in steel armor, angrily launched the furious charge against the invaders.The fleeing enemy was already screaming in fright just by seeing the tank charge.Many were so frightened that they threw away their weapons, because the guns in their hands were simply insignificant in front of the tanks.Not only will they not be able to move the tank, but it will also affect their speed of escape.The tanks pursued all the way, and the 1st Division, which followed closely, also arrived at this time.Yang Fei immediately ordered the 1st Division to follow closely behind the tanks and shoot the fleeing enemy from a long distance.Kazuo Takahara and his remnants of the defeated army ran wildly towards the coastline, and people fell under gunfire along the way.By the time he fled with his troops to the area of the coastal defense positions, the strength of the reserve was reduced by at least half.The rest of the people were all pale and looked as if they had been greatly frightened.This is also understandable, as long as they are normal people, they will behave like them when they are chased by tanks."

Sir, we have no way to retreat" It wasn't until they ran to the coastal defense position that the devils found that there was the sea behind them, and there was nowhere to escape.Kazuo Takahara looked back at the rushing tanks and yelled as if he had let out."

Fight with them" aa2705221:
