Keelung Port is located in Keelung City at the northern end of Wanwan Island and is the maritime gateway to the north of Wanwan Bay.

There are now more than 20 deep-water berths, which can accommodate 30,000-ton battleships.

Therefore, the Japanese army could only log in at Keelung Port.

In terms of the army this time, Japan has lined up more than 90,000 people from the 18th Division and the 12th Division to be responsible for the ground attack.

Compared with attacking the Germans, they sent twice as many troops, which shows the anger towards the Japanese after taking Wanwan.

Hundreds of thousands of people landed on the island, and even with the addition of heavy weapons, the speed was still very slow.

They all waited until the sun set in the west and the sky gradually dimmed before they all landed on the island.

Seeing this, Army Commander-in-Chief Lieutenant General Shiba Goro directly ordered the troops to stay where they were.

At night, it was not convenient to march, and Shibagoro could not attack rashly, so he had no choice but to stop advancing.

When Chu Yunfei learned that the Japanese troops had landed on the island, he stopped advancing and chose to station himself near Keelung Port, leaving him speechless.

This gave him a rough estimate of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. The military quality was similar to that of the Beiyang elites, but a little worse than the elites he brought.

According to Chu Yunfei's calculations, the Japanese army moved well and could at least rush ten miles before dark.

Obviously, Chu Yunfei overestimated the strength of the Japanese army.

A master can feel the opponent's strength from just one point.

Shen Hao once said before that the Japanese army during this period was average.

The Japanese Army during World War I only had more than 300,000 troops, and it did not have the ability to mobilize millions of troops to participate in the war like the European and American powers in 2005.

In addition, the quality and quantity of Japanese soldiers are also inferior to those of European and American armies.

The only one that can take action is the navy. Both the source of troops and the quality of individual soldiers are far behind.

Chu Yunfei and others were still skeptical about Shen Hao's statement. After all, he must be somewhat capable of intimidating Beiyang.

However, during the Battle of Qingdao, Chu Yunfei and others also understood that the strength of the Japanese army was indeed not good.

In the Battle of Qingdao, nearly 50,000 Japanese troops were unable to defeat the 6,000 German defenders in Qingdao. In the end, with the help of the British army, the Germans were defeated with great effort.

In this battle, only more than a hundred German soldiers died in Qingdao. In the end, the German soldiers surrendered and were brought back to the country by Japan and became guests of honor.

In fact, until World War II, Japan's army level barely reached the level of Germany during World War I.

At present, the only thing that Japan can put on the table is its navy. However, at this time, the Japanese navy is not enough to challenge the naval powers such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States. Any one of Britain and Germany can beat the Japanese navy.

Chu Yunfei originally thought that the Japanese army would abandon the artillery brigade and directly go into battle with light troops and rush to Keelung City overnight to station.

Obviously, Japan is still very cautious.

This was a pity for Chu Yunfei. The distance was too far. If he were closer, he could just wait for a while and fight a night battle.

However, this equipment is not good now, it is not a mechanized force.

75mm guns, field guns, and 150mm heavy howitzers are simply unable to move on a large scale.

Nowadays, there are no roads and it is difficult to walk at night.

If there were a few trucks, Chu Yunfei would now dare to sneak attack the Japanese camp.

The mechanized troops studied at Qingyuan Military Academy focused on mobility.

That's all based on trucks.

The Japanese army would not have thought that an army would suddenly appear in front of them.

Such a good opportunity can only be missed.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei realized the benefits of mechanized troops.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei looked forward to the mechanized troops advocated by Shen Hao and the army's overlord tanks.

If there was such a weapon, it would be great to just push across.

Since night battles were not possible, Chu Yunfei summoned all the generals for a meeting overnight.

"The Japanese army has now landed on the island.

They are less than fifty miles away from us, and they will probably meet us tomorrow afternoon.

Therefore, we must be prepared to face the enemy before that"

""Commander Chu, why don't you attack overnight?"

Chu Yunfei said,"With the quality of our current soldiers, we simply don't have the ability to fight at night."

Without trucks or cavalry, how could they surprise the Japanese army?

With the quality of soldiers like you, you are as tired as a dead dog even after running for 50 miles, so how can you fight?

Moreover, if you want to surprise the Japanese army at night, you cannot carry heavy weapons and artillery. Once you carry heavy weapons, you will not be able to run away until dawn.

Once we meet the Japanese army, we will be exposed to the bombardment range of the Japanese warships.

Isn't this a clear plan to let the Japanese ships bombard us?

Stupid or not?"

"The initiative is now in our hands and we must use our own advantages.

There are more than 40 150mm heavy howitzers and more than a hundred 75mm mountain guns and field guns.

Why give up such an advantage and attack the enemy instead?"

"Now, Japan is more anxious than us. We can just hold on to the bend, but the first step is to hide our artillery so that they don't know our specific strength.

Once we want to fight, we must fight hard and bomb continuously.

Take down Japan's 100,000-strong army. Once these Japanese troops are eliminated, Japan's army will be directly reduced by one-third. How can they dare to be arrogant again?"

At this point, Chu Yunfei's eyes flashed fiercely. He has never been interested in fighting the Japanese. No mercy

""It's Commander Chu."

Immediately, Chu Yunfei looked at Yu Qingfeng and said,"Have the trenches been built?""

"Commander Chu, we have built three trenches in steps of one kilometer in accordance with your request."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Chu Yunfei said with satisfaction:"That's OK. This time we will use the same tactics to lure the enemy deeper, block them in stages, and let them continue to penetrate deeper, in batches."Annihilate the enemy."

A regimental commander promoted by Wanwan wondered:"Commander Chu, why don't you just fight them in a positional battle? Our weapons are not bad. With so many weapons, we can directly fight them head-on." Chu

Yunfei He said:"Why do you have to fight them head-on?

The goal of fighting a war is to win, not to waste ammunition and soldiers in vain."

"Now that the morale of the Japanese army is high, and their equipment is not weak, and there are more than a thousand cavalry, it is not appropriate for us to face hard steel.

We must fight slowly, drag them to death, cut off their rear supply lines, and rub their energy."

"It doesn't matter if we go all out in one go, then weaken again, or be exhausted in three rounds; we will snipe in three sections, fight in one section and retreat in another section, and then we will stop at the Dutchtown Heights.

Once their morale is low, we can counterattack.

Holland City Highlands is where they will die. The terrain here is high and the ground is flat. If the Japanese army can catch up here, it will definitely be a 020 emergency march and they will not carry artillery. When the time comes, Holland City here will be their death place."

"Where is Holland City? Wasp wondered;

Yu Qingfeng explained:"Keelung has a lot of rainy weather. Keelung is also called"Rain Harbor", and it is rich in materials, and coal mines and fisheries are very developed.

Keelung has been a military fortress since ancient times and has good port conditions.

In addition, the rich natural resources always attract enemies to covet this place, so anyone who occupies this place must build a fort..

Taking a closer look at history, no place on Wanwan Island has been invaded by foreign invaders as many times as Keelung.

And this"Dutch City" is also called Baimiweng Fort.

Since the Dutch had built fortress-like structures when they occupied Wanwan Island, the Baimi Weng Fort is also called the"Dutch City Fort". The

Baimi Weng Fort is located to the west of Keelung Port and is located on a highland of nearly 70 meters above sea level. There are hills on both sides, forming a barrier that serves as a defensive line on the west bank of the port.

After passing"Dutch City", you enter the city.

General Chu meant that as long as he ambush in the hills on both sides, he could annihilate the Japanese army."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, feeling that this method was feasible.

Soon, everyone analyzed the tactical essentials in detail again.

After everyone dispersed, Yun Fei left the Wasp alone.

He said to the Wasp:"Tomorrow, Once the Japanese Army starts chasing us, their artillery will definitely not be able to keep up.

At that time, there is an opportunity. You take advantage of the opportunity and destroy their artillery first.

Once we take down the Japanese artillery, we can bombard them in both directions, making it impossible for them to come back."
