    When Li Guoliang's troops were fighting fierce battles with the Japanese troops on both sides of the Zhuoshui River, Xiao Nai's Second Regiment had already crossed the Zhushan Mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain, one could clearly see the plains of Yunlin County below the mountain, and at the same time, the guards could also be seen.  Hu Dongning, the first detachment of the army, launched an attack on the flank of Yunlin City.

    He stood on the top of the mountain and observed with a telescope for a while, and then decided to give up the attack on Yunlin City because he found that Japanese troops coming from the direction of Chiayi were pouring into Yunlin City. Through the telescope, he saw at least one Japanese infantry regiment.  They have arrived at Yunlin City from the south, and the size of the Japanese army in the city is more than one brigade.  .

    Hu Dongning's detachment of nearly a thousand Guardsmen alone would not be able to capture Yunlin. If his Second Regiment were to attack Yunlin City, although it would be possible to break into Yunlin City, it would be extremely easy for him to fall into an encirclement by the superior Japanese troops.  After all, there are two brigades of Japanese troops confronting Li Guoliang on the south bank of the Zhuoshui River. If they drive Li Guoliang's forwards back to the north of the stream and blow up the bridge, they can turn back and outflank their own troops, and in the end they will be annihilated.  middle.

    He would never put his newly founded Second Regiment in danger, so he set his sights on Chiayi. At this time, the Japanese army in Chiayi had already moved out to reinforce the Japanese army in Yunlin. If he came at this time  A single black tiger can disrupt the entire deployment of the Japanese army and annihilate at least two regiments of Japanese troops in one fell swoop.

    Of course, although the results were great, the risks involved were also great, because his glutinous rice dumplings were too big, and there were too many Japanese troops surrounded by him. If something went wrong in one direction, and the Japanese troops broke through at one point, the whole army would be full.  They lost all the games, and in turn were defeated by the Japanese army one by one, and they were made into glutinous rice dumplings.

    This is a huge bet, but at this time he has no better choice. Rather than placing all his bets on Yunlin City, he might as well go all out and put his money on both Yunlin and Chiayi cities.

    "Pass the order, the whole army marches quickly, walk across Meishan Mountain, and march straight to Chiayi!" He said to the messengers beside him, "If Chiayi is captured, we will win this battle. If Chiayi cannot be captured, everyone will  Don¡¯t expect to come back alive!¡±

    After giving the order, the soldiers of the Second Regiment started to move and hurried on. Some officers thought the soldiers were running too slowly and would kick their butts. No one wanted to miss Chiayi and end up failing to capture Chiayi.  No one can go back alive.

    Xiao Nai's bet this time was really too big. The fighter planes on the battlefield were unpredictable. Of course, he would not have thought that the biggest variable in his plan to attack Chiayi would be the Japanese soldier that Hu Dongning missed and fled towards Baiguoshan.  At this time, Hu Dongning fought at the foot of Yunlin City. Although the Japanese brigade that fled to Baiguoshan only gathered two squadrons of soldiers, they still maintained a strong combat effectiveness. When they appeared at the foot of Nantou County  , which almost surprised Li Nan, who stayed in Nantou.

    Fortunately, Xiao Nai moved the garrison to Nantou City at that time, which saved the Red Label Army from great losses. However, even so, the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 4th Regiment that remained in Nantou County as the general reserve force still suffered considerable losses.  degree of loss.

    The Japanese army entered from the west gate of Nantou County. The gate was guarded by the fourth regiment, four battalions, three companies and one platoon. They never expected that the Japanese army would suddenly appear at the gate, because the three-pronged army sent by Li Nan was crossing the turbid water.  News of success came one after another in front of the stream, so the Red Label troops guarding the city relaxed their vigilance. When the Japanese army came into the city, they woke up like a dream and their hands and feet were in chaos.

    News of the fall of Ximen reached the county government office. Li Nan almost jumped up from his chair. The gunshots coming from Ximen became fiercer and fiercer. The whole city was shaken. The messengers who came to report even attacked.  We don't know how many enemies there are in the city. We only know that after the west gate was breached, the Japanese army marched straight towards the county government along West Street, obviously wanting to kill all the Red Label Army's front fingers.

    Although the Red Label Army in the city has two battalions with more than 1,000 people, they are all distributed in every corner of the city and cannot be summoned at once. In addition, the enemy's situation is unknown, so each battalion and company sticks to their posts and dare not attack without orders.  He could dispatch them at will, so the only ones Li Nan could really use were the two companies near the front finger. When the two squadrons of the Japanese army entered the city, they were the first to encounter them. The fierce battle between the two sides extended from West Street to the camp.  Department, and finally went all the way to Jiangshi Bureau Street, which was only one street away from the front finger of the county government office.

    "Papa!" The Japanese army braved the hail of bullets, charging and shooting at the same time. Their shooting level was much higher than that of the Red Label Army. As soon as these two shots were fired, a Red Label Army standing on the street fell to the ground.  .

    "Onboard, onboard!" When the Japanese army saw the Red Label Army retreating behind the street intersection, they couldn't help but cheered excitedly, and rushed towards the intersection along both sides of the street.

    But just when they were about to rush to the intersection, a Red Label soldier suddenly stood up from behind the sandbag bunker on the opposite street, threw the grenade vigorously, and then fell into the sky.There was an explosion in the middle, and there was a "boom". Two Japanese soldiers were blown away on the spot. Their bodies fell against the wall and then fell upside down to the ground, leaving a pool of thick and pungent blood.

    "Tou Le!" the Japanese officer shouted wildly, waving his command knife, and the Japanese soldiers raised their guns and fired. The Red Label Army had no time to hide back in the bunker, and was hit by a burst of gunfire with holes all over his body. He lay on the bunker and died.

    "Hey! Come on! Come on!" Seeing that the gunshots fired by the Red Label Army were not intensive, the Japanese military officer ordered the soldiers to launch an onboard charge, trying to reach the opposite intersection with one force and temporarily defeat the Red Label Army.  The blocking position constructed was captured.

    A dozen Japanese soldiers with white cloth strips tied on their heads took the lead and rushed out with Murata rifle bayonets. They rushed over in less than ten seconds from a distance of 30 meters. The Red Label Army fired to stop them, but only two of them were killed.  One Japanese soldier was shot to the ground. When other Japanese soldiers rushed over, at least five Red Label soldiers had no time to pick up their bayonets and were picked to death on the bunker.

    When the Japanese troops behind saw that the Red Label Army's temporary position had been captured, they cheered like thunder and rushed over like a tide with bayonets raised. They fought with the Red Label Army with bayonets. Many Red Label Army were swarmed by the Japanese army and used random swordsmanship.  The hand-to-hand combat lasted less than ten minutes, and the entire street of the Artisan Service Bureau was covered with the corpses of the Red Label Army.

    Seeing the Red Label Army retreating like a tide, Li Nan personally stood in front of the gate of the county government office, holding a Mauser pistol in his hand, pointing it at the two company commanders and shouting: "Fuck it, you guys are going to be fucked."  If you take one fucking step to reach our street, you two will stop fighting. Not only will I remove you from your posts, but I will also strip off your military uniforms!"

    When they heard that they were about to take off their military uniforms, the company commanders of the two companies couldn't help but change their expressions. When they saw the anger in Li Nan's eyes, they knew that he was really angry. They hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, shouting loudly at the top of their lungs:  "Yes, if we can't complete the task, we will come to see you!"

    After receiving the order, as soon as the two company commanders returned to their own units, they also gave death orders to each platoon, and each platoon gave death orders to each squad. In the end, everyone from the soldiers to the company commanders became excited.  It was as if he was a different person. He was chased and beaten by the Japanese army at first, but later he launched a counterattack against the Japanese army without his life.

    Although the Red Standard Army's guns were not as good as the Japanese army, they could throw more grenades than the Japanese army. When the Red Standard Army rushed out from all over the streets, throwing grenades while rushing, the Japanese army's ferocious offensive was immediately affected.  The heavy setback was like hitting a wall and being bounced back.

    At first, the Japanese army used fierce gunfire to knock the repulsing Red Label troops off their feet. However, as more and more enthusiastic and angry Red Label troops stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to advance forward, the Japanese army began to be unable to resist them.  .

    "Bang!" The moment a Red Label soldier was shot in the neck, he had already thrown the grenade in his hand. When he fell to the ground, the grenade also exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers with a "boom".  The four Japanese soldiers were blown up, and their broken limbs were thrown everywhere like broken branches. Many Japanese soldiers around were scratched by the flying grenade shrapnel, and their bodies were covered in blood.

    The nightmare of the Japanese army was staged again with the explosion of the grenade. The Red Label Army rushed to the intersection and threw grenades over one after another. Because the Japanese army was restricted by the narrow streets and could not deploy its troops, many soldiers were crowded together, so the Red Label Army  The hand grenades of the Biao Army were also thrown extremely concentrated, and their lethality and destructive power were much greater than those in the open space.

    "Boom boom boom!" Several consecutive grenade explosions exploded back and forth in the straight street. Almost every Japanese soldier was affected by shrapnel. Some people were even hit by shrapnel from three grenades at the same time, and their bodies were blown away by the shock wave.  It danced back and forth in the air and became a burnt blur when it fell to the ground.

    "Kill!" The Red Label troops rushed out from every corner of the street, holding Mauser rifle bayonets and rushing over to the Japanese soldiers who had been staggered and lying on the ground unable to get up. They picked up the dying Japanese soldiers one by one with their bayonets.  Death, the battle was completely one-sided.

    The Japanese army began to retreat, but they had not yet completely withdrawn from the streets of the Craftsman Bureau. The Red Label Army coming from all over the city had divided them into several main streets, and then used grenades to force them into a blind corner.  The Japanese soldiers who had piled up in a group were blown up one by one, and those who were not killed were swarmed by the Red Label Army and stabbed into a hornet's nest with knives.

    The Japanese troops who entered Nantou County did not expect that there were so many Red Label troops in the city. They originally thought that the main force of the Red Label Army had already rushed out. This time, they were prepared to kill the Red Label Army by surprise, but they did not expect that they would touch the eggs.  The stone hit my head and caused bleeding.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese troops had to withdraw from the city. Since the west gate was still under the control of the Japanese troops, the Japanese troops who escaped from the city successfully escaped from Nantou County through the west gate.??However, due to the heavy casualties in this battle, less than a hundred Japanese soldiers from the two squadrons left Nantou alive. Two-thirds of them turned into corpses and covered the streets of the county town. The remaining people went to Baiguo.  The mountain fled.

    Naturally, Li Nan would not make Hu Dongning's mistake again. After receiving the battle report, the remaining 100 Japanese troops fled out of the city and fled towards Baiguo Mountain. He ordered the two companies to continue the pursuit of victory and be sure to annihilate the remaining Japanese troops in this unit.

    The danger in Nantou County came and went quickly. Although there was no danger, it still scared Li Nan into a cold sweat. If the former enemy headquarters was not located in the county government office in the city, the Japanese army would have to cross several streets to reach it.  Fight in, otherwise this sudden Japanese army will destroy the headquarters in one fell swoop. I am afraid that not only the whole city will fall into chaos, but even the three groups of people sent out may be at a loss because of the loss of command, unable to look at each other, and finally fall into chaos.  , leading to the destruction of the entire mixed formation of the West Route Army.

    After the Japanese troops were driven away, he issued three orders in succession. The first was to strictly guard the gates of Nantou County. The second was to expand the security cordon of Nantou City to 20 kilometers.  They also sent reconnaissance cavalry to patrol back and forth, and finally deployed four guard companies around the county government office, completely protecting the former enemy headquarters seamlessly.

    But just when he had arranged everything properly and was about to sit down and take a breath, the telegraph officer suddenly brought an urgent military intelligence telegram from Taipei. As soon as he saw the telegram on it, his expression changed drastically.  His face was ashen.  [(m) No pop-up window reading]
