As the seat of the Japanese Governor-General's Office, Taipei's defense strength is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even when its own troops are seriously insufficient, the 62nd Division of the Front Army responsible for city defense has not made any adjustments. In addition, Hsinchu
Several infantry regiments and Taipei garrison divisions quickly retreated from the area. The entire county, in a short period of time, accumulated a total of 40,000 Japanese troops. However, even under the protection of 40,000 heavy troops, the entire city of Taipei was free from
After the news of the landing of Chinese troops attacking Taiwan, the atmosphere was immediately shrouded in chaos and pessimism.
In the county town of Nuoda, the most solemn atmosphere is not elsewhere, but on the entire island of Taiwan, the place that the Japanese army respects most: the Taiwan Governor's Mansion, which is the headquarters of the Japanese Tenth Front Army.
"Your Majesty the Governor, a farewell telegram has been sent from the Fulu Mountain position. The offensive of the Chinese ** Corps is too fierce, and our defenders are no longer able to hold on. We have sent a farewell telegram. We will live or die on the position and we will fight to the death to hold off the attack of the Chinese ** Corps.
pace…."
"Your Majesty the Governor, air force reconnaissance shows that our imperial troops stationed at the Fulu Mountain position suffered a large-scale rout under the fierce attack of the Chinese Army. The entire position has changed hands... At present, the Chinese offensive troops are following our rout.
Behind us, attack our city of Taipei..."
"Your Majesty the Governor, according to the latest reconnaissance information, the Chinese offensive troops will arrive at our gates in Taipei within ten hours at the latest..."
"Your Majesty the Governor,...a farewell telegram was sent from the battlefield, and all the defenders were killed..."
"Your Majesty the Governor..."
As reports came one after another in the war room, on the huge combat sandbox, the Chinese Taiwan attacking troops were like three indestructible sharp knives. In less than a day, they occupied almost one-fifth of the entire island of Taiwan.
strategic location.
Especially under the offensive of China's three-pronged army attacking Taiwan, which is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Taipei City, where the Governor's Office is located, has vaguely become a prominent point in the Japanese army's sphere of influence on the island... In other words, if one's own troops.
Still unable to block the advance of these three armies, Taipei City, the seat of the Japanese Governor-General's Office in Taiwan, will be surrounded by Chinese troops and become a completely isolated city.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I humbly recommend that the Governor's Palace be transferred to Tainan City immediately. Continue to direct the battle. It is too dangerous here..." Seeing the Chinese offensive force on the sand table, which is about to form a siege on Taipei City. Chief of Staff Haruki Isayama
While worried, he quickly spoke up and suggested.
"Your Excellency, the Governor, I and others fully support the Chief of Staff's suggestion to transfer the headquarters to Tainan to continue commanding the battle..." A group of combat staff spoke in unison at the look of Lieutenant General Isayama Haruki.
Of course, the words of dozens of staff officers are all the same. However, from their facial expressions at this moment, General Yoshiki Ando, as the governor, can clearly see that among these dozen people, there is someone who truly cares about his own safety. It has a bearing on the entire
In the Tenth Front Army, there were also those who were afraid of death when faced with the heavy encirclement and suppression by the squadron.
However, at this critical moment, even if General Yoshiki Ando knew clearly, he would not make such a stupid move as killing generals before the war. However, regarding the bad situation currently faced by his headquarters, General Yoshiki Ando's heart
, is still very clear.
As soon as everyone finished speaking, a helpless smile appeared on his face. Under everyone's gaze, he said: "Everyone, I also want to retreat. However, judging from the current situation, even if we
Even if I want to retreat, I can’t.”
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, General Yoshiki Ando pointed to the huge combat sandbox in front of him and said: "Don't forget, everyone, if you want to successfully retreat to the Tainan area, you must pass through the Hsinchu area controlled by the Chinese First Division.
Do you think that with our current strength, we can break through the defense zone of the ** First Division in just about ten hours?"
In an instant, everyone's faces were shrouded in solemn expressions. Because just two days ago, four well-equipped field infantry regiments of the Imperial Army were blocked by the First Division of the Chinese Army for a whole day.
It took two days to break through the defense line of the ** First Division and return to Taipei. Although I now have more troops, my requirements for various terrains and roads are relatively higher. Faced with such a situation, I want to
To break through within ten hours**

The first division defense area is almost an impossible task.
Rather than being exposed in the wild and fighting a field battle with no chance of victory against China's superior forces, it is better to rely on Taipei City's solid fortifications to engage in a refreshing positional battle to increase one's own advantages...
After figuring out the key, the chief of staff who had just suggested retreat immediately showed a look of despair on his face. He faced Ando Yoshiki in front of him and said: "Your Majesty the Governor, I completely agree with your opinion. Stick to Taipei.
I vow to live and die with Taipei."
The resolution of the Governor's Mansion has improved the morale of the entire city defense force to a certain extent. However, what General Ando Yoshiki did not expect was that his decision, to a certain extent, actually helped the guard column that rushed towards Taipei City.
The guard column was able to sweep away the highest command system of the Japanese army.
In the temporary headquarters of the guard column, the communications staff officer rushed in with excitement as if he had eaten a peach.
"Commander, **1st Division telegram: Taipei Japanese city defense forces, including the entire front army headquarters and their Governor's Mansion, did not retreat in the face of our army's pressure on the border. They are preparing to rely on solid city defenses to defend...
"
"This is really good news...Political Commissar, now I, Bruce Lee, can confidently say that as long as the enemy does not escape, with the combat effectiveness of my guard column, even if he is given another 40,000 people, he will be unable to fly..." has been worried about the Japanese command.
Bruce Lee, who abandoned the city and fled, unable to complete the task of destroying the Japanese military headquarters, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief and spoke confidently to the political commissar beside him.
"With our combat effectiveness, it is impossible to annihilate all 40,000 Japs. However, as the last battle in China, what we have to do is to control the casualties of the troops as much as possible... Otherwise, let the Vice Chairman know, even if we fight
Even if we win the battle, we won't get any benefits..." Political commissar Chen Zhengxiang was proud, but he did not forget to give his partner a kind reminder.
"Political Commissar, don't worry. I don't want to be scolded by the Vice Chairman... As for the specific method of attack, my opinion is to surround three and miss one. While shaking the morale of the Japanese army, use superior firepower to launch a fierce attack on Taipei City...
"
"Although the Taipei garrison claims to have 40,000 troops, judging from this day's battle, recruits must account for a large proportion of them. By encircling three and missing one, coupled with our army's fierce offensive, it will definitely be possible.
In a short period of time, it can disintegrate the will of resistance of the Japanese troops in the city, or at least the will of resistance of the new recruits..." Political Commissar Chen Zhengxiang analyzed with approval.
With the approval of the political commissar, the entire combat plan was quickly distributed to the heads of each regiment.
The 1st Guard Division, the 2nd Guard Division, and the 3rd Guard Division launched attacks on Taipei from three directions: east, west, north, and west. The south direction of Taipei City served as a gap to break the Japanese army's will to resist. Although no offensive troops were explicitly deployed. However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from really
To break through, the column was directly under the Guards Regiment. The ** First Division, with a total of nearly 10,000 troops, secretly deployed a huge pocket formation outside the city, waiting for Japanese troops who might abandon the city and break out.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The gunfire of the guard column heralded the beginning of this critical battle. Facing the bombardment of more than a hundred artillery pieces with a caliber of 75 mm or above, coupled with the continuous bombing of an entire bomber regiment, the garrison in Taipei City
The defensive pressure of the Japanese troops is self-evident.
Especially in order to capture Taipei City, Bruce Lee used two-thirds of the guard column's artillery shell reserves, totaling hundreds of tons of artillery shells of various calibers.
"Baga, don't the Chinese artillery shells cost money? It's been half an hour, why hasn't the bombardment stopped yet..." In the cannon-proof hole in the city wall that was completely shrouded in artillery fire, a captain of the regiment felt the constant trembling of the earth.
, roared with a hint of horror.
You know, for decades, even the field troops stationed on Taiwan Island have not experienced any real war. As for the shelling that I have experienced, the largest scale is only a dozen artillery bombardments for several minutes.
But in front of them, the Chinese ** team actually used more than a hundred large-caliber artillery pieces that were rarely equipped by their own divisions, and they continued bombarding for an hour without any intention of stopping.
"Captain, the Chinese are fighting across the sea. They cannot carry too many artillery shells. If nothing else happens, the bombardment will soon stop..." the chief of staff replied.
What the Japanese Chief of Staff said was correct. During the hour-long shelling, almost all the artillery shells that the guard column could use were fired into the Japanese positions. However, what the Japanese Chief of Staff did not expect was that just this one-hour shelling, enough
It caused more than one-third of the casualties to the defending troops.
At the same time, the solid city wall fortifications were blown open one after another amidst the rumbling sound of cannons. Various machine gun bunkers and concrete bunkers were all bombed into ruins without exception...
After the shelling ended, the stunned Japanese troops had just gotten out of the shell-proof hole and had not yet reacted to the shock. With the cover of the shelling, the guard troops had secretly moved to a position less than a hundred meters away from the city wall. They were already firing light and heavy machine guns behind them.
Under cover, like a galloping leopard, he quickly pounced towards the gap in the city wall...
"Baga, what are you still doing in a daze? Counterattack, counterattack immediately, block the attack of the Chinese Army, quickly, counterattack..." The Japanese commander waved the command knife in his hand, scurrying back and forth, facing the subordinates who were still in a daze,
Roared loudly.
However, on the city wall that had been completely turned into ruins, their roars not only received no response from their subordinates, but instead fired deadly sniper bullets...
Japanese commanders, big and small, were killed one after another under the gunfire of nearly a hundred snipers in the guard column. The Japanese army's position, which was originally in chaos due to fear, was accompanied by the death of a large number of commanders. The entire command system collapsed and fell into complete chaos. Some of them are already ready to escape.
As for the guard column outside the city, they did not miss this good opportunity. Amidst the loud blasts of the charge, they rushed towards the gap, rushed into the city, and completely strangled the chaotic Japanese army...
