As the last Japanese plane over Taiwan was shot down, the Japanese army in Ryukyu stopped air reinforcements to the Japanese army in Taipei, and the air supremacy over Taiwan completely fell into the hands of the Tang army.

The sky is clear and it is another good weather, but for the Japanese army in Taipei, such weather is their nightmare. The Tang army's bombers and fighter planes are unscrupulous and bombard the Japanese positions, causing huge casualties to the Japanese personnel.

At this time, there were less than 5,000 Japanese troops in Taipei City, and most of them were injured. Less than 2,000 people were able to participate in the battle. The ammunition was seriously insufficient, and various supplies had long been interrupted.

"Boom boom boom!"

Aerial bombs fell and exploded on the Japanese position. Earth and rocks splashed and smoke filled the sky. The Japanese army grabbed the sandbags in the trench tightly to prevent themselves from being blown away by the explosion air waves, and soon they were buried in the sand.

In the sky, the Tang army's planes were roaring and roaring, and the Tang army attacking troops on the ground were also prepared for the general attack, and they wanted to completely eliminate Taipei and liberate Taiwan with thunder.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Four heavy howitzers of the Tang army located under the mountainside gathered 216 155mm heavy howitzers to carry out saturated artillery shelling on the Japanese positions in Taipei.

In an instant, the earth shook, the mountains swayed, and large-caliber grenades, with the power of destroying the world, sorting out the Japanese positions over and over again like plowing the ground.

At the same time, the Tang Marine Corps gathered a hundred Tiger King main battle tanks to launch an attack while taking advantage of the cover of artillery fire. The Tang army's attacking troops followed up and wanted to break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop.

At this time, the Japanese army had already lost resistance to the armored forces of the Tang army. Their firepower was suppressed, and the deployed defensive mines were removed one by one by the Tang army because there was no subsequent substitute. Anti-tank barriers were also destroyed by the fierce artillery attacks of the Tang army.

When the artillery fire of the Tang army began to extend, the Japanese army drilled out of the soil one by one. Before they could gather in time, the armored tanks of the Tang army broke through their defense line.

The remaining machine gun castle was destroyed by the 88mm tank artillery of the Tiger King's main battle tank. The Japanese army scattered on the outside were also fired by the m2 heavy machine guns on the vehicle. Occasionally, a few crazy Japanese soldiers were wrapped in explosives and wanted to come up with the Tang army's tanks. However, the Tang army was prepared for their mistakes and shot the Japanese soldiers who had committed suicide and attacked them one by one.

Although it was the second Tang-Japanese War, in the eyes of the Japanese army, they did not admit that the Tang army was stronger than them. They always believed that they were the most powerful army unit in the world. Therefore, in front of the Tang army, the Japanese army, who were desperate to save face, would never compromise and surrender. They could not break the Tang army's iron-shelled chariots, nor could they fight against the Tang army's heavy machine guns. They simply hid in the underground tunnel and couldn't come out, waiting to kill the Tang army soldiers who rushed to the rashly.

However, they were disappointed, so the Tang soldiers would not be too stupid to rush into the tunnel to fight with the Japanese army for bayonets. They immediately called the fire spitting team to support them. When fire dragons rushed into the Japanese underground tunnel, the Japanese army was suddenly desperate. Screams came out. The Japanese army, who could not stand the smell of being burned by fire, rushed out of the tunnel. The Tang soldiers who had already guarded outside the tunnel immediately opened fire and turned them into hornet's nests.

This day was the most tragic. The Japanese army was trapped in beasts, and the Tang army was the last attack. The fire between the two sides continued until midnight, from the Japanese trench positions outside the city to the Japanese headquarters in the city. The street battle was fought every inch of land and blood, and the Tang army advanced along countless Japanese corpses and blood.

In such a fierce battle, less than a hundred casualties in the Tang army were inadvertently caused by the Japanese army hiding in nearby houses. Only a small number of them were actually injured on the battlefield. It can be seen how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is. This is also the generous reward brought by the Tang army's continued route of elite troops.

After sending the last telegram to the Japanese base camp, Shinto Okada committed suicide by cutting his caesarean section in front of the emperor's statue. Then the Tang army captured the Japanese headquarters, lowered the Japanese plaster flag, and raised the Tang army's Blue Eagle Battle Flag.

The news of Taiwan's liberation spread all over the world, not only the Tang people celebrated, but also the Chinese were also excited. The morale of the National Revolutionary Army, who was fighting with the Japanese army on the battlefield in North China, increased greatly. It was originally defeated by the Japanese army, but at this time it was able to stubbornly block the Japanese army's attack, stabilize the front line, and even fight one or two counterattacks and regain some lost ground. This is absolutely unimaginable.

Of course, this is also because the Japanese army knew that Taiwan was a little depressed after losing it. At the same time, the National Revolutionary Army on the front line successively added advanced Tang weapons and equipment assisted by the Tang Empire. Most of these Tang equipment suppressed the Japanese firepower. The m1 submachine gun specifically defeated the Japanese 38 rifles. The Tiger King tank could smash the Japanese tanks with one shot. The m2 heavy machine gun with a caliber of 50 even suppressed the Japanese Type 97 heavy machine gun. In the past, the National Revolutionary Army never imagined that their artillery could be able to counterattack. Now, after receiving the heavy howitzers assisted by the Tang Dynasty, they could even engage in a even-match artillery battle with the Japanese army, which was absolutely unimaginable before.

However, if the military equipment of other countries was equipped with such powerful Tang weapons and equipment, the Japanese army would have been beaten to cry and call their parents. Unfortunately, the National Revolutionary Army had poor combat quality. Except for the Huangpu Central Army, which was also considered to be on the table, the other troops were all adapted from the former landlord armed forces, warlord troops, security groups, and even bandits, and they were able to steal guns. It would be difficult for the people to actually go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army, so it would be considered a burning incense to be able to fight with the Japanese army.

The Japanese army originally planned to destroy China in three months, but unfortunately they fought on the battlefield in North China for half a year. They originally planned to land in Shanghai and quickly conquered Nanjing to force the Kuomintang to surrender. Unfortunately, because Taiwan was lost, the Tang Dynasty navy reached the estuary of the Yangtze River and had to give up.

Facing the military pressure of the Tang Empire, Japan had to adjust its combat policies and prepare for full defense, which also weakened the attack operations of the Japanese army on the battlefield in North China.

However, Japan had an abacus, which was to take advantage of the alliance with France and take advantage of the opportunity of France's declaration of war on Germany and Italy, and Japan also declared war on Germany and Italy, forcing France to completely break up with the Tang Empire, and even pushed Britain to the opposite side of the Tang Empire in advance, which was a small victory.

On November 23, 1937, the declaration of war was drafted by the Shangshu Province of the Tang Empire by Zhang Meng to officially announce the world. On this day, the Tang Empire declared war on Britain and France at the same time. The next day, Britain and France declared war on the Tang Empire one after another.

Three days later, after weighing the pros and cons, the Nanjing government in China declared war on Britain and France. The reason why the National Government made this decision was, on the one hand, because there were alliance treaties and agreements on joint war against Japan between the Middle Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, the National Government had been working hard to negotiate with the great powers of various countries to abolish a series of unequal treaties and take back the concessions, etc., but they were all rejected by Britain and France. At this time, it was just a matter of using the opportunity of war to abolish these unequal treaties to appease the people.
