Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hu Dongning led the first detachment of his Guards and headed straight for Beidou, while Li Nan ordered Xiao Nai's Second Regiment and the First and Second Companies of the First Artillery Battalion to cross the Zhuoshui River from the direction of Jiji and cross the Zhushan Mountain.  To encircle Yunlin in a roundabout way, the 3rd Regiment, the 3rd and 4th Companies of the 1st Artillery Battalion, and the 2nd Cavalry met the frontal enemy from Tiangong. The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 4th Regiment served as the general reserve and swept behind.

    After the order was given, all troops and horses immediately began to mobilize. Because Xiao Nai held the dual positions of the 2nd Army Regiment and the 1st Artillery Battalion, and he recognized the identity of the commander of the 2nd Army Regiment more, as soon as he received the order, he immediately took the  The Second Regiment set out and left the First Artillery Battalion to Li Nan to command.  .

    However, considering that only the 1st and 2nd battalions of the Second Regiment were actually equipped with firearms and weapons, while the 3rd and 4th battalions were only equipped with cold weapons, Xiao Nai asked the 1st and 2nd battalions to be the vanguard, and separated from the 3rd and 4th battalions.  Kilometers away, we marched towards Jiji in waves.

    **Because the Second Regiment took the route upstream of Zhuoshui River, compared to Hu Dongning's Guards and Li Nan's Third Regiment, the advance encountered basically no obstacles, and the march went very smoothly without firing a single shot.  We rushed to the north bank of Zhuoshui River, but after wading to the other side, we decided to cross Data Mountain, pass Meishan, and go straight to Chiayi instead of hitting Yunlin County as before.

    For Xiao Nai, Yunlin County alone cannot fill his stomach. He can only capture Chiayi in one go, cut off the escape route of the Japanese army in Yunlin, and capture Yunlin and Chiayi in one go.  This is what he wants. He has always disapproved of Li Nan's petty ambition and his focus on the small Yunlin County.

    However, if he has to cross Datashan, take Meishan, and attack Chiayi from the flank, this means that his marching route will be greatly extended, and because they are all mountain roads, the time it will take to reach the foot of Yunlin City will be more than twice as long, but given that  The possible results were so huge that Xiao Nai still made up his mind and modified the plan.

    But he is also worried. After all, his Second Regiment is a newly recruited recruit. In addition to some veterans transferred from the First Artillery Battalion to lead them, the overall combat effectiveness has not been tested on the battlefield, and he has no idea in his heart.  At the end, Wu Tangxing's Ninth Regiment was beaten to a pulp by the Japanese army. It can be seen that the current enemy is not a soft persimmon. This time his gamble really put his own wealth and future into it. If the gamble wins, the entire Japanese Second Division may be  The regiment's front was shaken, everything was divided into two, the bet was lost, and his time in the Red Label Army was over.

    When Xiao Nai rushed to the north bank of Zhuoshui River, the first detachment of the Guards led by Hu Dongning was still in Beidou. They happened to encounter a Japanese forward, but the scale was not large, only one squadron.

    The Japanese forwards entered Beidou almost at the same time. The forwards of both sides met on the dirt road in the village. They were all stunned. In the end, the Guards reacted faster and took the lead in firing.

    "What a fool! We meet on a narrow road! Brothers, beat them off!" A Guards squadron leader couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a dozen soldiers wearing dark blue Western-style military uniforms rushing towards the road ahead.  It took him a moment, but he was a veteran after all. He had fought with the Guards Division on bayonets. He immediately recognized the Japanese army with just one glance and hurriedly called on the Red Label troops around him to shoot.

    "Bah, bang, bang!" A burst of gunfire rang out, and the group of Japanese soldiers who were running over were caught off guard. Three or four people fell on the spot. The others were frightened by the sudden gunfire and fled away.  Shot after shot was fired at the Red Labels.

    "Come on, the first team, you lead your people to bypass those houses and outflank them from the left wing. The second team, you take your people to outflank the right wing of the field behind the village. The other teams follow me and attack from the front.  Only advance, no retreat!" When the Guards squadron leader saw the enemy, he was like a wild beast seeing blood. His eyes were shining with excitement, and he said, "Fix your fucking bayonets and prepare to fight.  Hand-to-hand combat!¡±

    After hearing the order, the entire forward squadron was gearing up and eager to try. The Guards troops of the first and second squads received the order and immediately circled from the left and right flanks to flank the Japanese army, while the squadron leader led the third and fourth squads to fight head-on.  These invading Japanese troops.

    In fact, more than half of the Japanese troops who entered Beidou were still outside the village. Only the dozen or so people who were on the outpost entered the village to observe the movement, but what they encountered was the full-strength Guards squadron forward, and they understood that it was  What's going on, I made glutinous rice balls at once.

    The first ones to attack were not the third and fourth squadrons led by the squadron leader, but the Guardsmen from the left wing squadron. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they quickly climbed over several houses and appeared at the only  A squad of Japanese flankers caught them off guard again.

    "Papa!" Two Japanese soldiers discovered that several figures suddenly appeared in the private houses on the flanks. They were about to call their companions to pay attention, but the other party had already opened fire. They beat the two men covered in blood on the spot and fell to the ground to die.

    ?"Grenade, use a grenade to blow up the fucking idiot!" The team leader threw the grenade first, and it exploded in the bunker where the Japanese troops were hiding.

    There was a loud "boom", and the three Japanese soldiers were blown up on the spot. Their broken limbs and arms were thrown like rotten branches like raindrops. Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers screamed, and several other Japanese soldiers who were injured began to  He held his head and fled outside the village.

    "Cao Lin Niang, you idiots are about to escape!" The people from the second team had just outflanked the right wing of the field behind the village. Seeing that the remaining seven or eight Japanese soldiers were about to escape from the village, they couldn't help but blush.  If you want to shoot, you might as well rush forward with bayonets in hand to stop these Japanese soldiers from fighting for their bayonets.

    "Fuck you!" A Guardsman held a Mauser rifle bayonet like a tiger descending the mountain. He suddenly rushed to the front of a Japanese soldier, picked up the bayonet, and pierced the opponent's chest, but he  He didn't have time to pull out his bayonet, because he saw that another Japanese soldier next to him was about to escape from him, so he pulled out the engineering shovel from behind, swung it in a huge arc, and with a "pop" sound, the Japanese soldier's Tianling Cap was brought to life.  Cut it off.

    The Japanese soldier held the head spewing white brains and screamed miserably while running for more than ten steps. Finally, he knocked his comrade who was stumbling away in front of him to the ground. He fell headfirst on the ground and lay on top of his comrade.  On his body, he was clutching his companion's arm tightly before he died, but he couldn't even break free.

    Other guards rushed up, but regardless of whether the two men were dead or alive, they directly stabbed their bodies with bayonets like blood hedgehogs until their bodies were covered with blood and stopped moving.

    The last two Japanese soldiers escaped from the village entrance with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Less than fifty meters away, they were blown up by grenades thrown by the Guards behind them, and their bodies were blown up by the powerful shock wave.  He was shaken five or six meters away and fell to the ground in a bloody mess, like a pool of mud and no longer breathing.

    The Japanese soldiers outside the village couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the fierce fighting in the village. Especially when they saw that the two companions who had escaped were blown away by grenades, they couldn't help but feel quite shocked, because they had never seen Qing soldiers.  The army had used hand grenades, and they had exploded so accurately. Knowing that they had encountered a powerful enemy, they did not dare to attack rashly. Instead, they retreated to a small hill outside the village and prepared to build a blocking position.

    The Guards gave them no time to build a blocking position. As soon as they saw the Japanese forward squadron retreating, they immediately gathered their troops and came straight out of the village to kill the enemy in front of them with ferocity.

    The number of people in a squadron of the Japanese army is twice that of a squadron of the Guards. In other words, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. In this case, it is the Guards who should retreat and build a position, but now it is reversed.  An outpost squad of the Japanese army suffered a heavy loss in the village. They were all wiped out by the Guards. In addition, the Guards rushed out of the village with murderous intent. They had no idea how many people there were on the other side and thought they were being attacked by the main force of the Red Label Army.  The troops attacked, but they couldn't help but panic, and started to retreat before they could fight. When they climbed up the hill, the Guards also chased after them, and the two sides fought in a mass on the half slope of the hill.

    The Guards, relying on their high momentum and high fighting spirit, swallowed up a Japanese squadron behind a small hill with just one encounter, because everyone in the Guardsmen carried grenades and they were chasing them.  Before joining the Japanese army, they threw grenades one after another. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen grenades exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, knocking the team staggering on the spot and causing heavy casualties.

    "Toure!" A Japanese officer was blown up, his face covered with blood. He staggered up from the ground, waved his command knife and roared loudly at the overcoming Guards, but no one around the Japanese army responded to his order.  They raised their guns and fired, because grenades exploded all around them like raindrops, causing their ears to go deaf, and they were in a daze, and they couldn't recover for a long time.

    "Mother Selin, you bitch, what are you howling?" A Guardsman rushed in front of the Japanese officer with a bayonet, stabbed through the opponent's neck with one blow, and then kicked him  He fell to the ground and cursed fiercely, "Go to hell, it's better to be lazy than chicken!"

    Other Guardsmen also rushed forward and killed the other Japanese troops one by one.

    One of the Japanese soldiers' arms was broken by a grenade. He supported the ground with his other hand and tried to stand up unsteadily, but a Guardsman who rushed up directly raised his bayonet and stabbed a transparent hole in his chest.  The whole person was crucified to the ground alive.

    Another Japanese soldier hugged the Guardsman's waist from behind, violently threw him aside, then picked up a bayonet on the ground and prepared to stab him to death, but there was a "pop" shot and someone ran behind him.  A Red Label soldier who came over almost pointed the muzzle of his gun at the back of his head and shot half of his head off with one shot. The Japanese soldier let out a scream and fell to the ground.

      The Japanese forward team below the hill was quickly bitten into pieces by the wolf-like Guards squadron. The Japanese troops who climbed up the hill couldn't help but be surprised to see how ferocious the enemy chasing them was. They originally wanted to  They built a position on the hill and shot down the Guardsmen halfway up the hillside. However, they saw that their comrades in the rear were killed in pieces and there was no time to build a position. Moreover, shooting down from the hill would accidentally injure their comrades in the rear, so they simply  Then he held the bayonet and killed him from the hill.

    The Guardsmen saw that the half-slope of the hill was crowded with Japanese troops. They were shouting and killing each other, and the tide surged towards the bottom of the hill. A Guards squad leader couldn't help shouting excitedly, and loudly said: "Hey, everyone  Throw out all the grenades and kill these idiots!"

    Soon, grenades were thrown towards the Japanese troops on the hillside like raindrops. This time there were more grenades thrown than before. Some Guardsmen simply bundled two grenades into a bunch and threw them out, so their damage was  The strength is much greater than before.

    "Boom, boom, boom" a series of grenade explosions sounded. In just a few minutes, a sea of ??fire spread out on the hillside, shattering the Japanese soldiers who rushed down the hill.

    The Japanese troops of the Second Division had never seen such a scene before. They were stunned by the bombing. After the smoke from the grenades dissipated, the hillside was covered with the corpses and wounded soldiers of the Japanese troops. Those who could survive and rush down with bayonets were killed again.  The Guards used volleys of guns to create a hornet's nest and fell in the muddy and bloody field. For a moment, the original numerical advantage of the Japanese army was completely reversed by the wave of grenade explosions. Instead, they were not as numerous as the Guards.

    "Kill, kill all these bastards!" The Guards raised their bayonets and let out fierce and high-spirited killing shouts one after another, and charged towards the remaining Japanese troops on the hill.

    Seeing the Guards killing so fiercely, the Japanese squadron leader couldn't help but feel timid. In addition, the soldiers had already scattered, so he had to order a retreat, climbed down the hill, and fled to the rear with the remaining dozen soldiers.  Almost all the people intercepted by the Guards were killed. The corpses covered the entire hill, and the bright red blood dyed the battlefield blood red.  [(m) No pop-up window reading]
