War focuses on the results, not the process! The law of the jungle is like a tiger killing a rabbit, but it will not feel the slightest sense of guilt! ————"Kongchen Quotations"
Hsinchu County was not peaceful that night. The sudden gunshots woke up many people who had already fallen asleep. The honest people could only hide in fear.
The gunfire started suddenly and the process was very short. Under the gradually calm night, only sporadic gunshots remained.
The outcome was doomed from the beginning. A squadron of regular Japanese troops was quietly eliminated by special forces soldiers. As for the Japanese expatriate armed forces, they were not a threat at all. After the guerrillas led by Mu Huaiqiang entered the city, they surrounded and annihilated them in the camp.
.
Perhaps the people of Hsinchu County, who are hiding at home and full of anxiety about tomorrow, don't know that on this night, Hsinchu County has changed to a new owner.
————【Sleepless Night, Sunrise】————
The next day, Wu Qiang and others who successfully occupied Hsinchu County began to get busy. Due to the lack of professional logistics personnel, various problems, large and small, piled up in front of Wu Qiang.
However, Wu Qiang, who was very good at killing Japanese soldiers in battles, was instantly blinded when it came to receiving captured supplies, tallying battle results, and recruiting soldiers.
And this depends precisely on the elite troop policy that the special forces have always implemented. The special forces' strict requirements for soldiers and the extremely high elimination rate have meant that the Hainan Army's Langya Special Forces currently has less than a hundred official members.
The most he had ever commanded was a team of dozens of people. But now he was suddenly given the management of a county with tens of thousands of people, which suddenly made him unable to adapt.
As for the original magistrate of Hsinchu County, he was a traitor who collaborated with the Japanese and was shot and beaten into a honeycomb by the guerrilla fighters who eliminated the remaining enemies.
The symbols for data units and all kinds of trivial things all add up to a mess, making Wu Qiang's head even more confusing.
However, fortunately, Wu Qiang quickly found a good helper, the captain of the guerrillas Mu Huaiqiang.
Mu Huaiqiang joined the guerrilla team alone two years ago. Until now, he has led hundreds of people to fight guerrilla wars with the Japs. If he said he didn't have any real ability, no one would believe it.
Therefore, Wu Qiang simply left all government affairs issues to Mu Huaiqiang. After he was out of trouble, he took several of his team members to the school grounds to take charge of the training of new recruits.
"Captain! Xiao Cao said that the radio station has been repaired!" A special operations team member found Wu Qiang who was busy on the school field and reported.
"Really? This is definitely the best news I heard today!" Wu Qiang said in surprise, not even bothering to wipe the water off his forehead.
There is a radio station that can contact the Hainan Army headquarters outside, which is very convenient for Wu Qiang and others to provide help in times of need, such as calling for support and delivering supplies.
This operation was an airborne operation behind enemy lines. Considering the influence of the ocean monsoon wind direction, the parachute locations were relatively scattered, so no radio was carried to prevent the password of the military radio from being obtained by the Japanese.
After capturing Hsinchu County, they unexpectedly found a radio station at the Japanese military camp headquarters. However, the Japanese military communications troops were preparing to destroy the radio station at that time. Although everyone rescued it in time, the radio station still had some malfunctions.
After a night of emergency repairs by special forces member Xiao Cao, he managed to repair the captured radio station by dismantling many large radios.
Because this radio station is Japanese-made, it is very different from the general radio station of the Hainan Army and is easy to distinguish. Therefore, Wu Qiang and others need to contact the Hainan Army with a password and have to accept tedious questions such as identity verification.
On the other hand, in just one day, Hsinchu County became more orderly under Mu Huaiqiang's governance, and the chaotic situation in the city in the morning also improved.
The reorganization of the original assisting defense regiment and the recruitment of new soldiers were also carried out smoothly. After eliminating the old, weak, smokers and gangsters, and using special forces members to serve as squad and platoon leaders, a force of almost a thousand people was gathered.
The main force of these 1,000 people are former guerrilla fighters, soldiers from the defense regiment who abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, as well as local children from Orions. They have some experience with guns, so they are better than those peasants who know nothing.
As for the weapons and equipment seized from the county warehouses, these thousand soldiers were also trained in a decent manner on the school grounds.
Soon, Wu Qiang and others used the radio to confirm the identity of the Hainan Army Headquarters. The news of the successful occupation of Hsinchu County was also transmitted to the Hainan Army Headquarters along with the radio signal.
————————[Boundary Line]————————
Hainan Island, military and administrative building.
Within the Hainan Army Combat Command, more than a dozen senior staff officers are discussing the second phase of the "Xizhu" plan.
Commanding operations is never a step-by-step plan, but requires constant fine-tuning based on the actual situation to maximize victory.
Inspired by Wu Qiang and others' successful capture of the county seat, the staff deduced that the Japanese army in the center of Taiwan Island was likely to have lax defenses.
This further led to disagreements among the staff on the Phase 2 plan, and two completely different ideas emerged.
One of them is, of course, to continue the original strategic plan, use small groups of troops to penetrate behind enemy lines, carry out raids behind enemy lines, guerrilla warfare, etc., to create chaos behind enemy lines.
Although this combat plan had little effect on the main battlefield and could only attract the Japanese army's attention to a limited extent, this plan was more reliable.
In contrast, another emerging combat idea is undoubtedly more offensive and subjective.
Since Wu Qiang and others were able to capture Hsinchu County easily, and instigated an uprising by the local defense group, and formed an armed force of 1,000 people in a short period of time.
Does that mean that other counties in the mainland of Taiwan Island are also like this? As long as it is implemented properly, "Hsinchu County" can appear one after another.
A single spark can start a prairie fire! When the guerrilla forces in various places grow stronger, even if the Japanese react, they will no longer be able to stop them.
However, this radical combat plan is not without its shortcomings. Although the combat effect seems to be very good, it will increase the pressure faced by the infiltration troops and increase casualties to a certain extent.
You must know that the support the Hainan Army Headquarters can give them is limited after all. Once they are trapped by the Japanese army and lose a large number of elite soldiers, this will be a serious injury to the Langya troops.
The debate still didn't stop. Li Weidong left the red-eared staff of the two groups behind and went to Ge Changming, the chief of the general staff, to ask for his opinion.
"Lao Ge, what do you think of the two plans they mentioned?" Li Weidong asked.
Hearing this, Ge Changming took a leisurely puff of his cigarette pot before replying: "General! Both options have their own merits, but personally, I still favor the second option!"
"Well, why?" Li Weidong looked at Ge Changming's smile and understood a little bit what he meant.
"The first option is too conservative. It is okay if it is a small or medium-sized island, but it is difficult to have any effective effect on a large island like Taiwan. And if we attack Taiwan from the front, the casualties we have to endure are still relatively large.
Yes." Ge Changming's answer hit Li Weidong's heart.
The reason why Li Weidong still has not made up his mind to attack Taiwan is because he is worried about casualties. Landing operations are already difficult, and they have to face nearly 300,000 Japanese defense troops, which is no less than dancing on a wire rope. It is even more difficult.
Subsequently, Li Weidong personally made the final decision on the second phase of the "Xizhu" plan.
In less than half a day, an urgent telegram from the commander-in-chief was delivered to Wu Qiang at the Hsinchu County Headquarters.
"Special order to establish the first guerrilla detachment...!"
After hearing this paragraph in the telegram, Mu Huaiqiang's face immediately burst into a smile. Although he didn't know much about this unit number, in any case he and his brothers were considered to be true Hainan Army soldiers.
.
To put it in current terms, it was hard to find the organization.
Wu Qiang was a little puzzled because this was extremely inconsistent with the previous orders of the headquarters. Before departure, his superiors clearly told him that their mission was to sabotage behind enemy lines and disrupt the deployment of Japanese troops.
But now it is to assist the guerrillas in combat, expand the troops as much as possible, and deal with the local Japanese garrison troops in the occupied areas behind enemy lines.
As for why the first guerrilla detachment is given a number, it is because such an independent unit will definitely be dismantled and reorganized in the future. And for the convenience of this unit, the detachment number does not limit the number of troops.
In other words, they can recruit as many people as they can.
As for worrying that the guerrilla detachment will be unable to get rid of the tail in the future? That’s not true. Let’s not mention that the officers of the guerrilla detachment are basically special operations personnel. Even with the powerful force of the Hainan Army, we are not afraid of what tricks they will play!
After receiving the specific combat order, Wu Qiang ordered the reorganized First Guerrilla Detachment to be organized into units of 200 people that day, armed with heavy weapons, to clean up Japanese outposts in various townships in Hsinchu County along the way, and completely wipe out the entire Hsinchu County.
Classified as a liberation base area.
The news from Hsinchu County eventually reached the ears of the Japanese Governor in Taiwan, Ando Toshiyoshi.
However, General Ando Rikichi, as the governor of Taiwan, was very busy and did not take it too seriously at first, thinking it was a simple rebellion.
When I have my hands free, I can just send out a random army and quickly recapture Hsinchu County and wipe out all the Chinese who participated in the rebellion.
However, as the soldiers of Hsinchu County's First Guerrilla Detachment attacked everywhere, their strength continued to grow like a snowball, and the war even began to spread to other counties.
At this time, Ando Rikichi felt that the situation might be bad, and had to start paying attention to the First Guerrilla Detachment, which he had previously looked down upon.
