Zhuge Qing used the fleet's firepower to block the reinforcements from the north, east, and south while reorganizing the Heavenly God Army and establishing a modern military system.
He divided the First Army into two divisions, each with 11000 soldiers. Below the division level, there were six combat units, namely, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon, and squad. He established strict military discipline to ensure that he had absolute command over the army!
After the situation in Gao Xiong stabilized, Zhuge Qing immediately commanded the Divine Army to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army that had come from Pingdong in the south. Relying on their insane firepower and absolute advantage in numbers, the Heavenly God Army was able to destroy a regiment of the Japanese army.
Immediately after, Zhuge Qing ordered the Divine Army to advance eastward and launch a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army that came from Tai Dong. After an intense battle, the Heavenly God Army wiped out another regiment of the Japanese army, obtaining consecutive victories.
After dealing with the threats from the south and east, Zhuge Qing led the army north. With the support of the 20,000 soldiers of the Heavenly God Army and the firepower of dozens of warships, they instantly defeated the Japanese army from Tai Nan and occupied Tai Nan in one go.
Just like that, Zhuge Qing had basically resolved the threats around her and completely gained a firm foothold in Bay Island!
After that, Zhuge Qing did not get carried away by the victory and rashly led the army north. Instead, she focused on consolidating her victory. He first ordered the Heavenly God Army to wipe out the remaining Japanese troops in Pingdong, Taidong, and Tainan, completely eliminating the potential threats. Then, he launched a land reform movement in four places, distributing the land equally to the local people according to the population.
These actions immediately caused Zhuge Qing's personal prestige to reach an unprecedented peak. Not only did he obtain another 8482000 resources, but the number of soldiers in the Celestial Army also soared to more than 60000!
……
Tai Bei City, East Ocean Country's Bay Island Army Headquarters.
"How…how is this possible? How is this possible?" Major General Tanaka's face was as pale as paper as he said in disbelief.
Not long ago, he received a shocking piece of bad news. Gao Xiong was attacked by an army of unknown origins. The army of unknown origin was extremely powerful. They had a powerful naval fleet and defeated the imperial army guarding Gao Xiong overnight.
Then, the army of unknown origins used Gaoxiong as their base and defeated the Empire's troops in Pingdong, Taidong, and Tainan, taking all three places for themselves.
According to the latest news they had received, the army of unknown origin had used the hatred of the Bay Islanders for the Imperium to expand their army. They could go north at any time and threaten the foundation of the Imperium's rule over Bay Island!
"Lord Major General, according to the information we received, the leader of that army calls himself Lord Heavenly God.”A middle-aged officer in his forties said. "If we don't take immediate action and allow him to grow, I'm afraid it will threaten the Empire's rule over Bay Island.”
"Yes, Major General. We must take immediate action to kill them in the cradle.”Another officer in his fifties echoed. "The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”
"Major General…"
"Alright, stop talking.”Major General Tanaka waved his hand and said. "Bay Island is the spoils of war that our Great East Ocean Empire had sacrificed tens of thousands of soldiers to obtain from the Di Empire. No matter who it is that threatens our rule over Bay Island, we will absolutely not tolerate it.”
"I have decided to immediately mobilize the army to attack the south and destroy them all in one fell swoop!”
According to their repeated discussions, they decided to mobilize half of the troops from Taibei, Keelung, and Danshui, and all of the troops from Hualien, Taizhong, Changhua, and Nantou. A total of about 30,000 people would be mobilized to march south!
The battle broke out without any warning. On the front line that was tens of kilometers long, the Japanese army relied on their superior equipment to launch a fierce attack on the Heavenly God Army.
Japan's army was made up of the most elite troops of the land army. They were well-equipped, well-trained, and had very strong combat strength. On the other hand, the Heavenly God Army was made up of ordinary farmers and fishermen. In terms of military accomplishments, they were far inferior to the Japanese army. However, their morale was high, and they did not retreat. With their hatred for the Japanese, they exploded with shocking combat strength and actually blocked the Japanese army's attack.
The battle was particularly bloody and tragic. On the front line that was dozens of kilometers long, there were corpses everywhere. It was like hell on earth!
"Lord Heavenly God, the Japanese bastards are extremely powerful. Our Heavenly God Army relied on our numbers and high morale to temporarily block their attacks, but we suffered heavy casualties. If nothing goes wrong, our defense line will be broken in three days!”Jian Jinghua reported to Zhuge Qing anxiously.
"Three days? Three days is enough." Zhuge Qing said indifferently. "Jian Jinghua, take out the 1st and 2nd divisions of the 1st division of the Celestial Army and follow me north.”
"Lord Heavenly God, what…what do you want to do?”Jian Jinghua widened his eyes and said in disbelief.
Now that the war was tense, and the First and Second Divisions of the First Army were the strongest, wasn't the God afraid that the defense line would collapse if he took them away?
"What do I want to do? Haha, of course we'll go straight to the nest." Zhuge Qing chuckled and said. "Now that the main force of the Japanese army is heading south, their base in the north is naturally defenseless. We can take this opportunity to take down their base and recover Tai Bei.”
"Take the opportunity to attack their nest…Good plan! What a great plan!" Jian Jinghua thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said. "As expected of Lord Heavenly God! He's too powerful!"
"Don't flatter me. Whether or not this plan succeeds depends on whether or not you can stop the Japanese army.”Zhuge Qing said. "Jian Jinghua, I'll give you this difficult task. Are you willing?”
