Chapter 142 Insider?

Fushimi Palace is a prince. He talks about earth in the salon. If he really sees the true chapter, he will be godless. Seeing that the troops were blocked in Chiayi, Fujian Palace frowned all day and had no choice. However, the base camp cannot tolerate the protracted war in Taiwan, and the Southern Army Command is determined to take Tainan within half a month. The Guard Division suffered heavy losses, and Nomu Xidian couldn't sit still. He gave three orders to Fujian Palace in a row, asking him to end the war in Jiayi within three days, cross Jiayi and arrive at Taibao!

Fushimi Palace had no choice but to fight and order the Guards Division to concentrate its forces and launch a more violent siege on Jiayi City. Fushimi Palace had no military talent in the first place. When it encountered a hard bone, the only thing he could think of was a strong attack. As a result, the modern Japanese army actually launched a sea of people tactics under Chiayi City, and the Japanese army suffered even more casualties. However, this sea of people tactics also achieved certain results. The next day, on October 2, the Japanese army on the East Road finally captured the Hongmao Well after paying a heavy price, which was a wedge in the city of Chiayi City.

However, it is extremely difficult to attack further.

Zhang Jun regarded every street and every house as a fortress, hiding in the streets and alleys, and constantly launching a resolute counterattack against the Japanese army. If the Japanese army wants to take a step forward, they have to pay the price of dozens of casualties, and Zhang Jun's counterattack is even more fierce. The Japanese army can defend the only stronghold of Hongmao well, not to mention the attack. Difficult. Several times, Zhang Jun almost drove the Japanese out of the red wool well.

The tenacious resistance of the independent brigade in Chiayi forced Nomu Himian to postpone the battle plan on the southern front. According to the plan, the Kaohsiung Campaign launched by the Southern Army Fleet and the Fourth Mixed Brigade, which was originally scheduled to be launched on October 2, the day after the launch of the Guards Division, echoed the Japanese attack in the north. This is Naoki's proud handwriting and a strange soldier all the way. Once the main force of the Tainan Zhang Army approaches Jiayi, the fourth mixed brigade You can take the plane directly to Tainan.

Now, the Guards Division has been intercepted under Chiayi City and has not been able to open the gap for a long time. Intelligence shows that Zhang Jun's main force is still gathering in the Tainan area, and there is no intention of northern aid. If the mixed fourth brigade lands in Kaohsiung, they will not be strange soldiers, but a death squad! There are only 8,000 people in the mixed brigade, while the main force of Zhang Jun has more than 30,000, which can completely eat the fourth mixed brigade in one bite.

In desperation, on the one hand, Noki Yoshinori strictly ordered the Guards Division to break through Chiayi as soon as possible, and on the other hand, the southern front battle plan was postponed indefinitely.

The two iron fists prepared by Nomu Xidian, one dared not take action, and the other shot, but hit the iron wall, which was painful!

However, the Japanese army has not gained nothing in Chiayi. Zhang Jun's tenacious resistance dispelled the doubts of the Southern Army Command. When Nomu Xidian decided to launch an attack on Tainan, there were also differences within the headquarters. Among them, some staff officers led by Chief of Staff Shenwei Chenguang believed that the Zhang army won the battle of Changhua, but did not take advantage of the victory to launch an attack on the north, which was to inducement of the Japanese army to go to Tainan for a decisive battle. Some people even think that Tainan is a huge trap.

However, the battle in Chiayi shows that Zhangjun's resistance is extremely tenacious, and from the front lines of Chiayi, Taibao, Yizhu and Tainan, Zhangjun's defense and interception step by step is completely a strategy away from the country. This shows that Zhang Jun has no intention of fighting a decisive battle in Tainan. Moreover, intelligence shows that the Tainan region is narrow and has no room for manoeuvre, and it is difficult for Zhang Jun to form a siege against the Japanese army in Tainan.

All signs show that the Battle of Chiayi is a struggle of Zhang Jun's trapped beasts. The more fierce the battle, the more it proves that Zhang Jun can't afford to lose territory, even a small Jiayi!

Once the Japanese army breaks through several defense lines of Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun will be compressed into Nantai City and can no longer be used.

Nogi Xidian ordered to cross Pu Zixi to the whole army of the Second Division and form the top of Mount Tai in Chiayi together with the Guard Division. Naimu Xidian not only quickly captured Chiayi and opened the road to Tainan, but more importantly, he should force the main force of the Tainan Zhang Army to help the north and create conditions for the southern line of the fourth mixed brigade.

After the second division crossed the river, Fushimi Palace, which had been without six gods, also came to the spirit and commanded the Guards Division to launch a more fierce attack on Chiayi.

The battle in Chiayi City has become more and more fierce.

......

At the foot of Yushan Mountain, in front of a stone wall stands a mountain temple.

The mountain temple is not big, only one entry and one exit. The walls are made of blue stone, and the top of the temple is covered with green tiles.

Yushan is the highest peak of Alishan. The whole Alishan area is a residential area of Taiwan's aborigines. These aborigines are said to be ancient Yue people from the mainland, but it is old and difficult to verify.

The indigenous people in Alishan area are actually very complex, with many ethnic groups and different language customs. It's hard to say that they originated from the same ancestor. However, compared with the Hakka Han people in the plains, they are collectively known as Zou people.

Most of the Zou people in the Alishan area make a living by hunting, with grass as their rooms and villages. Therefore, most of the villages of the Zou people are thatched huts, built on the mountain and stacked.

However, this small mountain temple is a blue stone and blue tile building. The eaves of the temple are also decorated with the flying eaves that are often found in Fujian residential buildings, which is very different from the houses of the Zou people and looks very abrupt.

What's more surprising is that the clay mountain gods in the temple, whether in appearance or clothing, are very different from the gods believed in by the Zou people. In other places, the statue of the temple is fierce, with bare breasts and back, and the head mountain wears an iron crown symbolizing the supreme authority of the Zou people. The statue here is a handsome white-faced scholar with a long whipped head, wearing a robe and a felt hat, like an old Taoist priest or a rich Confucian.

Therefore, as soon as Guo Erzhuan, the commander of the independent brigade, kowtowed as soon as he entered the small temple. He thought that it was the emperor who worshipped. His wife Yao Xiaofeng believed in Taoism. When she was in Shanghai, she often went to the City God Temple to burn incense, and Guo Erzhu also followed her several times. Now she saw a statue similar to City God. She quickly learned from Yao Xiaofeng's appearance, bowed a few heads respectfully, and secretly prayed to the gods to bless Yao Xiaofeng's mother and daughter safe. Guo Er pole is also a person with a personality. He is usually careless and becomes particularly careless when he meets his favorite woman.

Guo Erbao followed Zhou Charter and, together with the special forces, after the surprise attack on the forest, he quickly turned to Alishan and stood in front of the independent brigade led by Yan Qionglin.

The transfer of the independent brigade into Alishan is a key part of Zhou Charter's battle. Zhou Charter is ready to use Tainan as bait to induce the Japanese army to fight a decisive battle in the Tainan area. However, the Tainan area is narrow and dangerous, and it is difficult for large troops to circle. It is difficult to form a siege against the Japanese. On the contrary, it is easy to be defeated by the Japanese army. Zhou Charter set his sights on the Alishan area in the northeast of Tainan.

Ali Mountain is high and dense, and the territory is vast and dangerous, which can accommodate thousands of troops and horses, which is conducive to the joint attack of large troops. So a huge circle appeared in Zhou Charter's mind.

In the eyes of general commanders, the Tainan area defended by Zhang Jun, including Jiayi, Taibao, Yizhu and Kaohsiung, is the inner line of Zhang Jun. If he wants to surround the Japanese army inside, Zhang Jun can only do something in this narrow area.

However, Zhou Charter broke the routine and included the vast Alishan area into the inner line of Zhangjun.

Zhang Jun did not station troops in the Alishan area, and the Japanese did not enter this area. The important reason is that the whole Alishan area is regarded as a barren place. Although the area is vast, it is sparsely populated and material, making it difficult to support the battle of large troops.

More importantly, the Zou people in Alishan area are very repulsive to foreigners, whether they are Hakka Han or Japanese. In their view, whether they are Hakka from the mainland or Japanese, they are foreign invaders! The Zou people will never accept the Japanese, but they will not accept Zhang Jun. Alishan is an independent kingdom. The Zou people in the kingdom do not welcome any foreigners to break their peaceful life.

Therefore, after the Japanese army launched the Yiwei War, they did not regard the Alishan area as a war zone. The Japanese's intention was to conquer the plains by force. For the indigenous people in the mountainous areas, they would implement Huairou or crusade strategies according to the situation. For the conquest of the Zou people, it was not within the scope of the war.

Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Alishan area is neither the insider of the Japanese army nor the insider of Zhangjun.

However, under the strong pressure of the Japanese army, Zhou Charter's troops are limited to a corner of Tainan, and the situation is at an absolute disadvantage. Even if you can take advantage of local battles, it is difficult to hold up in Tainan for too long from the overall situation.

Zhou Charter wants to find ways to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army as soon as possible, and the only way to have a decisive battle on the inside is to include the vast Alishan area into the Zhang army's inside line.

This is an extremely risky strategy.

Zhang Jun is completely unfamiliar with the Alishan region. He is not only not familiar with the terrain, but also not familiar with the folk customs. The Zou people in Alishan area have inherent hostility to the Han people. In the past, they did not obey the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. Now, the local government of the Qing Dynasty has collapsed, and the Zou people in Alishan are even more self-made. One. Zhang Jun rashly entered the mountainous area and couldn't stand up. Instead, he would be driven out by the Zou people.

However, Zhou Charter still intends to take a risk. The reason is very simple. Although the Zou people may not be friendly to Zhang Jun, they are not interested in the Japanese. Anyway, this area is not Zhang Jun's or Japanese. The Zou people are in a crack, and it is impossible to remain neutral at all. They always have to choose the side, no Zhangjun will choose the Japanese. Zhangjun might as well enter this area earlier and win the support of the Zou people. If it is a step late and let the Japanese stand first, it will be too late to regret!
