    When Hu Dongning heard that a squadron of the Guards' vanguard met the Japanese army on a hill at the entrance of the village and defeated them, he was so excited that he almost jumped up. He immediately ordered the entire army to pursue the remaining Japanese soldiers.

    After running for more than ten kilometers, they encountered a large group of Japanese troops who had also received intelligence and came over. The two sides had no time to build positions and started fighting directly.  .

    This time it was also the Guards who opened fire first. When they saw a large group of Japanese troops running towards them, they immediately raised their guns and fired. Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, knocking down the seven or eight Japanese troops running at the front to the ground.

    Because the terrain here is gentle, it is difficult to find shelter. When the Japanese troops heard the gunshots, they had to lie on the ground to fight back. However, because they lacked grenades, they gave the Guards a huge opportunity to take advantage of them.

    Seeing that the Japanese troops were all lying on the ground, the Guardsmen were firing neither close nor fast, so they rushed forward at a fast pace and started throwing grenades fifty meters away.

    When the first grenade exploded among the Japanese troops, many Japanese troops did not know what had happened. Although they had experienced hundreds of battles and had participated in the Weihaiwei offensive, none of the Qing troops they encountered in close combat had any experience.  Using grenades, I was quite unfamiliar with this magical weapon. I had heard colleagues from the Guards Division describe its horror, but had never experienced it personally. I still had no idea at all. When the grenade exploded this time,  Only then did they truly experience its power.

    The first to be blown away were three Japanese soldiers lying in a sunken pit. When they saw the grenades falling from the sky, they didn't even know what was going on until the "ZZZZZZ" white smoke thing rolled to them.  I had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and when I wanted to get out of the pit, the grenade had already exploded, and the three of them were blown out of the pit with a bang, leaving blood and filthy flesh on the ground.

    However, what really frightened the Japanese army was not the explosion of a grenade, but the falling of countless grenades like raindrops. Since the equipment of the Guards was superior to other units of the Red Label Army, especially the grenades were more expensive than other units.  Troops are more equipped, so they are even more skilled at throwing grenades than shooting guns.

    The close combat tactics of the Red Label Army with grenades and bayonets also greatly shocked the soldiers of the Japanese Second Division who saw it for the first time. The Guards charged with Mauser rifles and bayonets while throwing grenades, causing continuous explosions.  The Japanese army could not concentrate on aiming and shooting. Therefore, when the Guards rushed forward, they discovered that the rifle bullets could no longer stop the opponent's tidal charge.

    The first Guardsman to rush up did not use bayonets to challenge the Japanese soldiers. Instead, he threw grenades in one hand to both sides and exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers. The explosions caused the Japanese soldiers to fly bloody and bloody, and their limbs were broken.

    But he soon fell to the ground, because a Japanese soldier got up from the ground and shot him in the chest. The Guardsman screamed and fell to the ground.

    "Break it, you idiot!" Another Guardsman rushed up with a Mauser rifle and a bayonet, and on the spot made a transparent hole in the chest of the Japanese soldier who fired, avenging his comrade.

    Originally, although the Japanese army was staggered by the grenades, they still resisted very tenaciously and fought with the advancing Guards with gritted teeth. However, as more and more Guards rushed up, they continued to attack.  The ground swung grenades at the Japanese troops piled up in the rear, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese troops. In the end, the Japanese troops could no longer hold on and began to retreat.

    Seeing this, Hu Dongning was unwilling to let go. He immediately ordered the troops to pursue him. He also snatched Medellin from a light machine gunner and fired wildly at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" A tongue of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the gun. When it touched the figure of the Japanese soldier, bursts of bloody arrows immediately shot out. The Japanese soldiers screamed and fell down. A Japanese officer held up his command knife and wanted to rush up, but  However, he was hit squarely by the Medellin light machine gun in Hu Dongning's hand. His chest was immediately shot with more than a dozen transparent blood holes. He screamed and fell to the ground, dying.

    A Japanese brigade was defeated by the Guards before they even deployed. Their combat effectiveness was not weak, otherwise they would have beaten the Black Flag Army, the Rebel Army, and even Wu Tangxing's Ninth Regiment to a bloody pulp.  They were defeated and fled all the way, but they had never encountered a close-quarters attack with grenades and bayonets like the Red Label Army. They were defeated in just one encounter and fled.

    However, after Hu Dongning chased for a while, he found that the Japanese army was not escaping towards Xiluo, but towards Baiguoshan in the north. He had to order the troops to stop the pursuit, turn around and march towards Xiluo. In fact, he did not know his decision.  Nantou County almost suffered a disaster because the Japanese army group that was beaten and fled was not actually broken up. The overall skeleton of the army was still there. After they fled towards Baiguo Mountain, they saw that the Guards did not  After catching up, they gathered the fleeing soldiers and regrouped.Finally, we turned to Nantou County and marched.

    Xiao Nai himself did not expect that his move of forcibly breaking into the city and moving the garrison and headquarters to Nantou County would cause the third and fourth battalions of the fourth regiment, which were the reserves, to be suddenly attacked by the Japanese brigade.  , with the protection of the county wall, the casualties were greatly reduced, and Li Nan, who stayed in Nantou, escaped.

    After defeating the Japanese brigade, Hu Dongning was able to cross the Zhuoshui River from the direction of Xiluo without any obstruction. When the Japanese army discovered the Red Label Army, they had already appeared under Yunlin City.

    When deputy commander Li Guoliang led the Third Regiment, the Second Cavalry Company, and the Third and Fourth Companies of the First Artillery Battalion to march from the direction of Shoutingangong, they encountered the Japanese vanguard troops on the north bank of Zhuoshui Creek. However, what they encountered was no longer  Instead of one squadron of Japanese troops, there were three squadrons of Japanese troops, and on the south bank of Zhuoshui Creek, there was at least one brigade of Japanese troops preparing to cross the river.

    Seeing that there were only three Japanese squadrons on the north bank of Zhuoshui Creek, Li Guoliang simply asked the third and fourth companies of the First Artillery Battalion to push the field artillery forward, and then violently bombarded the Japanese troops who had just established a bridgehead on the north bank, while he led the three  The regiment and the second company of the cavalry launched an assault on the Japanese troops gathered in the woods north of the river.

    Although the Japanese army knew that the Red Label Army would come to fight, they still didn't expect it to arrive so quickly, and they even brought out artillery. After a dense barrage of artillery shells, the north bank of Zhuoshui River was immediately plunged into a sea of ??flames.

    A Japanese squadron was gathering on the north bank and preparing to move towards Shouting Temple. However, it was blown up by the fierce artillery fire and suffered heavy casualties. One of the artillery shells exploded directly in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, immediately exploding a piece of blood.  Flesh, shrapnel shooting everywhere cut the human body crazily, tearing more than a dozen bodies into messy pieces in just an instant, and a huge scorched pit exploded on the ground, filled with charred corpses.

    The Japanese soldiers were immediately screamed by the sudden artillery fire. They ran away with their heads in their hands and hid in the woods. However, the woods were not big and they were soon crowded with fleeing Japanese troops. The field artillery of the Red Label Army also began to shoot into the woods.  The Japanese troops carried out fierce bombardment. Although the effect was not as good as on the ground, because the Japanese troops were piled up in the forest, almost every artillery shell could explode a bloody streak. The screams of the Japanese troops were accompanied by the roar of the artillery shells, almost  There has been no interruption.

    "Kill!" The Red Label Army held Mauser rifle bayonets and came towards the Japanese troops in the forest like a tide. People kept throwing grenades into the forest. The Japanese troops were blown away again and the counterattack gunfire became sparse.  It was not intense, but the Red Label Army soon rushed into the forest, and the two sides began to fight fiercely in the not-luxurious fir forest.

    "Fuck Lin Niang!" A Red Label soldier rushed into the forest with a bayonet and stabbed the belly of a Japanese soldier who was hurriedly preparing to reload. The soldier fell to the ground, holding his stomach full of blood and crying loudly.  Howling, the Red Label soldier was not polite, and directly hit the opponent's forehead with the butt of his rifle. With just one blow, the Japanese soldier's skull was dented, and blood spurted out from his eyes, nose, and mouth.  , the Japanese soldier yelled and lost his breath.

    "Pa!" A Japanese soldier next to him raised his gun and shot the red-label soldier in the face. Before the red-label soldier had time to avoid it, a bloody hole was immediately punched out of his left eye. He yelled and fell back.  Go and knock the Red Label Army behind to the ground. The Japanese Army rushed over, raised the Murata rifle bayonet and picked the two bodies into gourd strings.

    "What a fool, it's better to be lazy than dead!" The Red Label Army who rushed over from the side cursed loudly, raised his Mauser rifle and fired at the Japanese soldier. However, his marksmanship was so bad that he was actually five meters away.  It didn't hit the opponent, but only scratched a small bloody gash on the Japanese soldier's face.

    The Japanese soldier was also frightened, turned around and shouted at the Red Label soldier: "Qing slave, Xinie (go to hell)!" As he said that, he raised his gun and prepared to shoot at the opponent, but just then  At this time, a Red Label soldier rushed up behind him and hit his head hard with an engineer shovel. With a "snap", half of the back of his head was cut off. The Japanese soldier screamed in pain and held up his head.  The head gushing white brain matter fell to the ground, and his hands and feet twitched for a while, then stopped moving.

    A red-labeled soldier with a Medellin light machine gun rushed into the forest and opened fire violently at several Japanese soldiers who were shouting to kill them. Bullets hit the Japanese soldiers one after another, and blood arrows were immediately fired out.  The three Japanese soldiers soon fell to the ground, and the two Japanese soldiers behind were wounded. They hid behind a big tree, roared at the top of their lungs, and fired at the Red Label soldiers. One of the Japanese soldiers just stuck his head out.  The tree trunk was immediately hit by machine gun bullets, and brains and blood were sprayed all over the ground.

    However, another Japanese soldier raised his gun and shot, piercing the neck of the Red Label machine gunner. After the trachea was penetrated, the Red Label soldier fell to the ground with his bloody neck and struggled in pain. After a few minutes, he died  died, but his light machine gun was hit by another red markThe soldier picked it up, rushed behind the tree trunk, and shot directly at the Japanese soldier who was hiding behind the tree and preparing to change his ammunition.

    "Ta-ta-ta" a string of fiery tongues all licked the Japanese soldier's forehead, and his whole head was beaten to pieces. The Japanese soldier didn't even scream, so he tilted his body and fell to the ground.

    The Japanese troops were quickly driven out of the cedar forest by the Red Label Army. They rushed to the bank of Zhuoshui Creek and tried to cross the river to escape to the south bank. However, at this time, the Red Label Army's cavalry suddenly rushed out and rushed in brandishing their sabers.  Among the crowd of Japanese soldiers, they were hacking and killing like crazy. The Japanese soldiers could not resist the cavalry coming in like a wave. Many people did not even have time to resist, and were chopped into pieces and fell to the ground.

    The fierce battle spread from the woods to the stream, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were everywhere. The blood gathered into streams and gurgled, and accumulated in the lower areas to form pools of blood one after another. It was even possible to step on them to reach the ankles, which shows how fierce the battle was.  The severity of the tragedy.

    The Japanese soldiers did not expect that they would be defeated by this extremely ferocious army the moment they met. Their previous complete victory over the Black Flag Army and the Rebel Army made them despise any Qing army, but now they have just  Discovering that the terrifying Orochi Army is really his nightmare.

    There was only one wooden bridge on the river leading to the south bank. The Japanese soldiers rushed to the wooden bridge, but soon the bridge was crowded with people. Some people were even pushed off the bridge and were washed away by the rapid stream.  Without a trace, some Japanese soldiers simply jumped into the river, relying on the water's properties to swim across the Zhuoshui River. Although many people did escape to the south bank in this way, more people were not washed up on the shore.  The soldiers shot and killed them one by one, only to be washed away by the rushing stream. The river was soon covered with corpses, and even the stream was dyed red.

    When a large number of Red Label troops rushed out of the woods and rushed to the river, the battle on the north bank of Zhuoshui River was almost over. Most of the Japanese troops in the three squadrons were defeated by the Red Label troops with powerful firepower and overwhelming numbers.  After being annihilated, the number of Japanese troops who actually escaped to the south bank was only a small group, and many of them were scarred, exhausted, terrified, and completely lost their fighting spirit.

    Li Guoliang stood by the stream on the north bank and looked towards the south bank. He saw a large number of Japanese troops coming in a hurry. The number exceeded the size of the two brigades. It was obvious that the Japanese troops were attacked from the north bank by the violent storm of the Red Label Army.  After retreating to the south bank, they couldn't help but blush, preparing to retake the bridgehead position on the north bank.

    "One battalion and one company immediately rushed to the other side and built a blocking position at the bridgehead before the Japanese army!" Li Guoliang found that the number of Japanese troops was increasing, and hurriedly ordered the third regiment, one battalion and one company who were the first to rush to the stream to rush across the wooden bridge.  , ordered loudly, "Be sure to prevent the enemy from blowing up the bridge!"
