    Li Nan did not expect that the mixed formation of the Japanese Fourth Brigade would arrive so quickly. He originally thought that it would take at least half a day for the Japanese army to cross Bagua Mountain and capture Changhua, and it would take at least another day to reach Nantou City, but he  However, the dispatched reconnaissance cavalry came back to report that a Japanese vanguard unit had appeared in Caotun, and Caotun was only half a day away from Nantou. The Japanese attack on Nantou City would be much earlier than he expected.

    But what bothered him more was that the two companies sent outside the city to pursue the hundreds of Japanese troops who fled towards Baiguo Mountain did not come back with any news, as if they had disappeared into the sea, with no trace at all, and he was heading towards Baiguo Mountain  At least four reconnaissance teams were sent to search, but still to no avail. He didn't know what the two companies had encountered.  .

    In fact, if he knew the current location of these two companies, he would probably be surprised, because these two companies chased the fleeing Japanese army all the way to Changhua City.

    When Fushimi Miyazada arrived in Changhua, he actually not only sent out the vanguards along the Caotun Road, but also went over Baiguo Mountain to attack Nantou City from left to right, completely annihilating the Red Label Army stationed in Nantou.  .

    These two companies met the vanguard of the Japanese army in Yuliaomiao, Huatan Township, south of Changhua City. The two armies discovered each other almost at the same time and opened fire at the same time.

    This Japanese vanguard is the size of a brigade, and its number is obviously much larger than the two companies of the Red Label Army. However, because the two sides just came into contact, they could not figure out the other side's situation, and they were also afraid that the other side would figure out their own situation.  They got out of the woods one after another, which prevented the two companies of the Red Label Army from being dealt a devastating blow by the Japanese army at the first opportunity.

    However, listening to the intensive gunfire, the Red Label Army soon discovered that the opponent's number far exceeded its own, and that two Japanese squadrons were outflanking from the left wing to the rear, trying to cut off their own retreat and surround the two companies of the Red Label Army.  Had glutinous rice balls.

    Naturally, the Red Label Army would not let it cut off its retreat so easily. One of its companies rushed out of the woods and fought directly with the two Japanese squadrons.

    When the Japanese army saw the Red Label Army suddenly rushing out of the woods and charging towards them with Mauser rifle bayonets, they hurriedly stopped outflanking them and looked for cover on the spot to shoot. Suddenly, gunshots were everywhere, and the few Red Label soldiers at the front were  The Biao soldiers were knocked to the ground, but the Red Biao soldiers behind them still did not stop attacking. They did not lie down and look for cover until they rushed fifty meters in front of the Japanese formation.

    These Japanese soldiers thought that the Red Label Army would rush in front of them with bayonets in hand. The officers were summoning the soldiers to line up in a horizontal line, preparing to fire a volley at the approaching Red Label Army. But what they didn't expect was that the Red Label Army stopped.  They charged, but did not stop attacking, because for them, the distance of fifty meters was already within the grenade throwing range, and at this time they could use grenades to blow up the enemy.

    As a grenade fell from the sky and blew up the bodies of three Japanese soldiers behind a bunker, the Japanese army realized that their nightmare had begun, because one after another grenades were thrown from the Red Label Army bunker.  Almost without exception, they all exploded where the Japanese troops were hiding, leaving them unable to escape and causing heavy casualties.

    Such a strange fighting method was unheard of and unseen by the Japanese army. When they swept across the entire Liaodong, they had never encountered the Qing army attacking with grenades, and they had never seen the Qing army being so brave under such secretly ordered bullets.  , would rather risk huge casualties and have no intention of retreating. Now when they are being bombarded by grenades, many Japanese soldiers have collapsed mentally, and some have even turned around and fled backwards. After all, humans are made of flesh and blood, how can they resist?  Got the steel bombardment.

    The Japanese camp was blown to pieces, and many Japanese soldiers were wiped out in the fierce and raging explosion flames. By the time the Red Label Army once again picked up their Mauser rifle bayonets and launched the final charge, the Japanese army had lost their fighting spirit and was unable to fight back.  , two squadrons of Japanese troops were defeated by a company of Red Label troops and fled in defeat.

    However, what the Red Label Army did not expect was that after the two Japanese infantry squadrons were defeated, before they could cheer for victory, a group of cavalry suddenly surged out from behind the mound in the northwest corner, holding high their shining sabers.  , charging towards the Red Label Army's position like a whirlwind.

    Perhaps for infantry, the power of grenades is very shocking, but for the extremely fast cavalry, grenades are not even as effective as rifles. Often, before a grenade has even landed, the cavalry has already rushed over quickly, even before the grenade hits the ground.  Before the grenade exploded, he had already slashed the opponent's face with his saber.

    "The cavalry, they are the cavalry of the Dog Day!" A red-labeled soldier stood up from behind the soil bag and looked at the Japanese cavalry in sharp knife formation in front of the position in surprise. He waved his saber fiercely towards them and couldn't help shouting.  , "They came so fast!"

    "Orochi Army, Signe!" A Japanese cavalry officer took the lead.??Fanatically waving the saber in his hand, even though the Red Standard Army aimed their guns at him, and some even threw grenades at him, due to the low shooting level of the Red Standard Army, not a single shot hit him or his saber.  The grenade fell on the horse's back without even being blown up, which made the fighting spirit even higher. It roared like lightning and rushed into the Red Label Army's position. With one blow, a red label who was about to change ammunition was killed.  Biaojun's head was chopped off.

    "Onboard!" Upon seeing this, the Japanese cavalry behind couldn't help but cheer excitedly. Like a fierce surging wave, they rushed towards the Red Label Army with an even more fanatical and ferocious momentum. In just a few seconds, like a wave of waves,  The shrill electric light tore the Red Label Army's position into pieces. As the sabers were raised in the air and fell heavily, blood sprayed everywhere like arrows. The Red Label Army fell one after another amidst screams.  .

    "Brothers, put on your bayonets and fight with these idiots!" An officer of the Red Standard Army saw his companions around him falling in a pool of blood. Some never got up after falling, and some were already dying.  , stared helplessly at the sky with red eyes, and some rolled on the ground in agony holding their severed limbs. Seeing all this, he almost went crazy with anger, raised his Mauser rifle bayonet and struck fiercely.  He stabbed a Japanese cavalryman in the waist as he passed by.

    With a "pop" sound, the sharp bayonet pierced the waist and abdomen of the Japanese cavalryman. Blood shot out like a fountain, splashing all over his face and blurring his eyes. However, when he turned his face  When the blood stains on his body were wiped off, he was horrified to find that the Japanese cavalryman on the horse had turned around, stared with extremely ferocious eyes, raised his blood-stained saber, and slashed hard at his face.

    With a "swish" sound, the saber cut a deep and long wound on the face of the Red Label Army officer, almost tearing half of his face open. He stumbled back holding his face full of blood.  One of them couldn't stand still, so he was shaken by the corpse under his feet, and fell to the ground with a "plop". He tried hard to get up from the ground, but another Japanese cavalry had already rushed over with a "tap-tap-tap".  In a matter of seconds, the iron hooves spreading in all directions had trampled his body into a bloody corpse.

    "Slave of the Qing Dynasty, Xinie (go to hell)!" The Japanese cavalryman whose waist and abdomen was penetrated by a bayonet covered the wound with one hand and held the saber in the other hand. He drove the horse forward slowly, and he was cutting down another red soldier.  After the Red Standard Army, he finally fell off his horse due to his serious injuries. He fell to the ground and never got up again, because the two Red Standard Army soldiers on the side had already pounced on him like hungry wolves and shoveled his face with engineering shovels.  It was chopped into a blurry mess and was too horrible to look at.

    The company of the Red Label Army that rushed out of the woods was quickly wiped out. The two Japanese infantry squadrons that had just been defeated saw that the cavalry had overwhelmed the Red Label Army's camp, so they immediately turned around and fought back. They were already exhausted.  How could the exhausted Red Label Army resist? After holding on for a few minutes, the already riddled defense line completely collapsed. Many people either fell to the swords of the cavalry or died from the bayonets of the Japanese troops that rushed forward.  Down.

    Another Red Label company hidden in the woods was holding the main force of the Japanese brigade to the north. They saw that the friendly forces were defeated by the Japanese cavalry in such a short period of time, and only a few people even escaped. Many people  Halfway through, he fell under the sword of the Japanese cavalry. He was shocked to know that this time he encountered a large group of Japanese troops.

    The two companies were simply fighting against each other head-on. In view of the excessive disparity in strength, they had to evacuate. However, in order not to leave behind the crumbling friendly forces, they specifically left behind one person when they withdrew to Fenyuan Township in Bagua Mountain in the southeast direction.  After the platoon's troops broke off, they specially gathered the skirmishers, which also allowed the defeated company to retain some vitality and not be completely destroyed by the Japanese army's butcher knife.

    However, when they fled to the Bagua Mountains, they finally escaped the Japanese pursuit after all the hardships. However, their escape route had also been cut off, because the Japanese army troops were continuously advancing southward along the foot of the Bagua Mountains, obviously preparing to  Together with another Japanese vanguard in the direction of Caotun, they surrounded Nantou City on the left and right. However, they were trapped in the Bagua Mountain, with Japanese troops everywhere, and there was no shortcut back to Nantou.

    "Company commander, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch helpless chickens plunder their feathers from under our noses and kill them all the way to Nantou City?" A platoon leader asked their company commander loudly with red eyes.  Pointing to the densely packed Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the mountain who were rushing southward like rushing waves, he shouted loudly, "To the east of the mountain is Caotun, which is full of Japanese ghosts. Anyway, there are enemies everywhere. Company commander, just  Let¡¯s choose an enemy and fuck him hard!¡±

    "Fuck you!" The company commander raised his foot and kicked the platoon leader. His eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted angrily, "How many of us are there, how many of these Japanese ghosts are there, you don't have one?"  See? Give them a fuck?Should we be fucked by them?  "

    "Company Commander, are you afraid of death?" Another platoon leader also glared at the company commander angrily and said loudly, "So many brothers have died. If we just escape back in despair, what will happen to us in the future?"  How can the company hold its head up? Company commander, since everyone participated in the Red Label Army's dog-fighting day, we are not prepared to go back alive. Anyway, it is a matter of dying early and dying late, so let us go back and start again  Let¡¯s fight the Japanese ghosts, even if we die, our blood will not be shed in vain. At least we can help Commander Li lead some of the Japanese ghosts and reduce the pressure on Nantou City!¡±

    "Fuck, do you really think I'm a fearful person? Since I joined our Red Standard Army, I have already put life and death aside. If I die, I will be a bird. At worst, I will be a good man again twenty years later!" The company commander  He couldn't help but get excited and roared loudly, "But I can't let my brothers die needlessly. They are all going to die anyway, and they have to die more meaningfully no matter what! Listen carefully and are willing to follow me."  Are you going to attack Taichung City? It¡¯s just us people and our guns. Is there anyone willing to go with me?¡±

    When they heard that they were going to attack Taichung City, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They thought that if the company commander showed off his talent again, he would hit Changhua City with an egg against a stone, but they didn't expect that the company commander thought further and actually wanted to attack Taichung City. And now Taichung  The Japanese troops in the city were probably more than one brigade. They could defeat the Tenth Battalion of the Dongjun Army. There were at least several regiments gathered there, and the company commander had to fight with a half-broken company of less than a hundred people.  Fighting in Taichung is like a moth rushing to a flame, never to return.

    Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all stared blankly at the ferocious-looking company commander. Some people might have responded to the attack in Changhua, but the attack in Taichung left everyone stunned for a long time.

    "The bastard Fushimi Miya Sadai may be in Taichung City right now. As long as the leader of the cock-breaking brigade can be killed, the brothers' deaths will not be in vain. Don't you fucking understand?" That company  The leader yelled viciously, "Whoever doesn't want to fucking go, bring it up now as early as possible. The legs will grow on you. I won't leave anyone behind wherever you want to go. But if you choose to fight Taichung with me, you will fight Dog Day."  Fushimi Miyazada Ai, whoever dares to be so damn cowardly, I will kill him first!"

    "Okay, I am willing. I am willing to go with the company commander to fight against Taichung and fight against Fushimi Miya Sadai!"

    ¡°I fucking do it too!¡±

    "Do it, at worst, I will be a good man again in twenty years, and I am willing to do it!"

    ¡°Company Commander, we¡¯re coming with you, we¡¯ll hit wherever you say, and we¡¯ll beat the shit out of anyone who dares to talk nonsense!¡±

    "If I can beat Taichung to death, Fushimi Miyazada, I will die in peace!"

    Everyone was excited and cheering. Everyone volunteered to follow the company commander to fight in Taichung. No one chose to run away from the battle, and no one raised any objections. On the contrary, everyone seemed particularly excited and proud because of their choice.  [(m) No pop-up window reading]
