Nantou City is located in the middle of Baodao Island, adjacent to Baodao City, Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi, Kaohsiung, and Hualien. It is the only county town with no coastline in Baodao Island. It covers an area of ​​square kilometers and has a population of only hundreds of thousands. The county government is located in Nantou City, on the left bank of Maoluo River in the southern Taichung Basin. It was originally an indigenous tribe, Nantou Society. Sun Moon Lake, which is famous at home and abroad, is located here. Yushan, the highest peak in Baodao, the source of Zhuoshui River, the longest river, and the geographical center of Baodao are both located in this county.

This county town, which usually has a small population and does not need to care about coastline defense, is the headquarters base used by the Quick Rebel Division to sweep across the county towns of Baodao. When the advance troops of the Assault Department successfully occupied Nantou City, the Japanese army on the front line had not yet reacted. The several rapid airborne of the Quick Rebel Division had successfully airborne more than 20,000 troops of the Quick Rebel Division to Nantou City.

When the Nantou people who learned that Nantou were liberated watched military vehicles and teams of mighty elite troops heading into Nantou City one after another, they finally knew that from today on, they would finally not have to worry about the Japanese counterattack. With such an elite and powerful force to protect them, they would really no longer have to endure the resentment of the Japanese in the future.

He successfully arrived at the Wuzhongyuan, the temporary command center of Nantou, and told the city that the civil affairs would be dispatched here in the early stage. After intelligence personnel familiar with the local situation and guerrillas were temporarily in charge, he immediately ordered the assault brigade to quickly attack Taichung, a heavy Japanese city near Nantou. The Japanese troops that blocked in Taichung were defeated and successfully responded to the Marine Corps' island.

As for the other troops, they also entered the county towns near Nantou in batches, launched a blocking and counterattack war. They fought for the replacement of the marine troops that arrived one after another, and gained more precious time. As long as the army troops gathered by the corps successfully landed, the Japanese on Baodao would have no good ending.

Because the militia's surprise attack came too quickly, the Japanese army in the city were caught off guard by the vanguard of the Quick Resistance Division who rushed into the city without even sending out a telegram. So much so that when the Japanese blocking troops arranged in Taichung were suddenly attacked by militias launched from the rear, the front line troops did not understand what was going on.

Seeing these attacking troops that were obviously from regular troops, the Japanese commander in Taichung immediately sought support from the commander-in-chief of Baodao Prefecture. He also said that the group of regular militias that suddenly appeared behind them were likely the militia troops that had landed from the sky after reporting to the Japanese army in Nantou City.

Because the Kwantung Army suffered a loss of quick rebels, the senior generals of the Japanese army knew that there was an extremely powerful main combat unit in the militia unit, and this unit was a unit that completely ignored land blocking. They could be dropped from the sky to any combat area where their transport planes could reach.

The Japanese commander-in-chief, who knew the origin of the Quick Rebel Division, ordered the Taichung defensive troops to fight back resolutely, and also sent telegrams of support to the Japanese troops in other nearby cities. However, most of the Japanese troops were ambush positions set up against the sea. When they encountered the Quick Rebel Division troops that broke through from the inside, the fall of Taichung was much faster than the Japanese commander-in-chief of the Treasure Island.

Moreover, the remaining Japanese troops in Lincheng who received the support order were not waiting for them to set off, and they were strongly counterattacked by the Quick Resistance Division. At the same time, they were defeated. Not to mention the defenders supporting Taichung, whether they could return to their original city smoothly was a question worth considering.

Although he knew that this was a powerful main battle unit in the militia corps, the Japanese commander of Kebaodao still did not expect that the strength of this fast-reverse division could be so strong. Often, a regiment of a fast-reverse division could turn their brigade-level defenders in the city.

Of course, there is another problem here. Their city guards are not large in number. And more are soldiers from Treasure Island. They are forced to be recruited by the Japanese army into the troops. The anti-Japanese armed forces used to suppress Treasure Island, but these city defense forces have no problem. Now when they encounter truly powerful regular militia troops, their strength is not enough.

Some of the Japanese soldiers who knew that there were not many good soldiers from Treasure Island who soon surrendered or had a higher ambition and began to play the trick of counterattacking in front of the formation. When the Japanese city defense officers felt a headache, the attack of the assault brigade became much faster.

The people of Baodao who had been caring about this war and never forgot their motherland from the heart. When Nantou was restored within one day, Taichung was also caught in the attack of the militia army, the people of Baodao who had long been disgusted with the Japanese army's dominance began to cause trouble for the Japanese in groups. The officers and soldiers with children in the city defense army became the source of great trouble for the Japanese army stationed in the city.

These soldiers from Treasure Island who usually only want to have some food, soon launched an uprising in groups in front of the militia, or were forced to be called home by the elderly at home, either without cooperating with the Japanese army's actions or simply shooting the Japanese's black guns in the city.

The Japanese army in Taichung, who lacked effective fortifications, was soon attacked by the assault brigade outside the city in the face of such internal and external troubles. When the first assault squad successfully rushed into the Japanese command post in the city and dragged the Japanese commander who was preparing to commit suicide out of the command center. The people of Taichung who followed the advance squad all the way to the city, saw that the Japanese officer who was usually domineering on their heads became so embarrassed, they couldn't help but applaud.

After seeing the quick-rebel soldiers rushing into the city one after another, starting to search for the remaining soldiers in the city and the port, many ordinary people who were usually resentful of the Japanese acted as guides and eyeliners for these search troops. They pulled the Japanese officers and soldiers who were frightened and ran around from all corners of Taichung until the situation in the city was controlled. When the two flags representing China and militia were raised, the people of Taichung also became excited.

After recapturing Taichung, the officers of the Quick Rebel Division who led the team to attack Taichung quickly sent a telegram to the headquarters. Wu Zhongyuan, who was the command center of the town of Nantou, soon sent a telegram to the naval transport ship on standby on the sea, telling them that they could carry out landing operations from the Taichung direction.

Some people living in the ports seemed to have no eyes when they saw a large-scale transportation supply ship appearing at the dock. Especially when they saw large tank and armored vehicles that the Japanese army rarely saw on the treasure island, the people on the treasure island suddenly felt that when did China have such a powerful regular army?

If it weren't for the familiar skin color and accent of the soldiers, these people would have thought that they would be reinforcements from the Japanese army again. After seeing these soldiers landing, they unsteadily launched their defense and repairing port operations. The people living at the dock also spontaneously formed people to help. You know, this is the long-awaited relatives' troops!

The landing troops themselves do need some manpower. After learning about the enthusiasm of the people, they did not agree to the enthusiasm of the people to help for free. On the contrary, these people were asked to select a few leaders and select a group of energetic young and middle-aged people to do some hard work for the troops. The militia forces paid a certain fee to these people according to regulations.

When I heard that I had money to pay for my work and was in charge of food, the people of the docks who were usually forced to recruit coolies by the Japanese army. I felt that the atmosphere of this army was really unique. It was just that they were often more influential about China's affairs.

Therefore, many people at the dock did not know that the troops in front of them were from militia units. It was not until the government officials who went ashore began to publicize the situation in China and the origin and background of the militia unit to the people of Taichung that they knew that this was a truly soldiers for the country and the people.

As the reinforcements of the naval forces continued to go ashore to various cities in Baodao, the Japanese commanders stationed in Baodao Mansion were completely panicked. However, at this time, they had no chance to escape. Even if some people planned to take off their military uniforms and take them on steamers and sneak away, the warships that were cruising on the sea would take all the Japanese and traitors who were dressed up and prepared to escape back to Baodao for trial.

Seven days later, the treasure island had almost been fully recovered, and the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet, which suffered heavy losses in combat with the large American Lijian aircraft carrier fleet, was ambushed by Chinese submarines when they entered the Chinese waters and were preparing to march towards the treasure island.

Looking at the warships that also lost only one ship, the Japanese Navy that came to help undoubtedly seemed to be full of soldiers when they started. Just when they were still trying to move forward, the rushing militia and air force completely forced these Japanese Navy, which could no longer be lost, to go home.

The most important thing is that as the last captured Baodao Mansion, it was completely eliminated by the Marine Corps who attacked here at this time. When the plaster flag on the top of the city was torn off by the militia officers and soldiers and replaced it with the flag representing the Huaxia and the Militia Corps, Wu Zhongyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Baodao operation, also breathed a sigh of relief and sent a telegram to Deng Chenggong, who was also looking forward to good news.

When Deng Chenggong learned that Baodao was finally taken down, he cheered happily like a child for the first time when he received the telegram. You must know that this Baodao, which was still struggling to make an independent life, will never wander again in this life. He told Wu Zhongyuan to temporarily serve as the chairman of the military government of Baodao, Deng Chenggong happily ordered the telegraph department of the militia.

The military and civilians of the War of Resistance Against China and the whole world announced that the treasure island, which had been occupied by the Japanese army for nearly half a century, returned to China's embrace. From then on, this southeastern pearl will truly become a member of China. Once the news came out, the Chinese army, which was fighting desperately with the Japanese army in the south, also launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in front of them with increasing morale.

Faced with the fall of Treasure Island, their navy also suffered heavy losses in previous battles. Now that they can't support them in time, local Japanese officials began to consider whether they could negotiate with China to see if they had the opportunity to gain some time.
