    When the Japanese troops coming from the direction of Caotun entered the north gate of Nantou City, another Japanese vanguard had already crossed the Bagua Mountains and violently attacked Caowei Ridge to the west of Nantou City. The two companies guarding the top of the mountain were facing an entire Japanese army.  The crazy attack of a large group, the disparity in strength and the huge pressure have already made the Red Label Army guarding here feel very strenuous. However, they did not receive the order to retreat, and no one chose to retreat, because Nantou City was behind them.  Without the grass tail, the Japanese artillery can be set up on the top of the mountain and bombard any target in Nantou City indiscriminately, which will mean the end of Nantou City.

    Li Nan was on the tower in the north of the city, using his telescope to see the fierce battle breaking out at Caowei Ridge to the west. Compared to the north of the city, the battle at Caowei Ridge was more intense, because the gain or loss at Caowei Ridge meant the gain or loss for the entire Nantou City.  Both sides were obviously aware of this. In order to win, they all invested their troops crazily and won the final victory at all costs.  .

    After the gate to the north of the city was blasted open by the Japanese field artillery, no matter how many troops the Red Label Army threw into the gap, it was of no avail. It was like a big ship that had leaked its bottom, unable to stop the influx of enemies.

    If the officer hadn't dragged Li Nan down from the northern wall of the city, I'm afraid he would have continued to stand at the top of the city and command the battle. After all, he could only watch the wall he was guarding being lost in front of his eyes. With his pride,  It is simply difficult to accept such a defeat, but after all, the situation is stronger than the people. The Japanese army attacked the city with superior force and accompanied the field artillery bombardment into the city. Under such a situation, the defenders in the city were able to persist in fighting instead of being defeated. Compared with  Compared with the Qing army and the ragtag rebel army, it was already much stronger.

    However, after Li Nan withdrew from the streets in the north of the city, the Red Label Army's counterattack began. Since the 1st and 2nd companies of the 1st Artillery Battalion were taken away by Xiao Nai and were rushing to Chiayi at the moment, the 3rd and 4th companies, although Li Guoliang had ordered them to leave Zhuo  The troops on the south bank of the Shui River withdrew and rushed to Nantou City for reinforcements. However, the artillery company's marching speed was much slower than that of Li Guoliang's light army. At this moment, they had only reached Tianliao, which was still far away from the south of the city.  Far water cannot quench the near thirst, and the defenders in the city cannot count on them. Now they mainly rely on light mortars brought from Taipei.

    In order to prevent the possibility of losing the city north, Li Nan specially deployed seven or eight mortars in the north area. He originally hoped that these mortars could be used on the city towers to carry out artillery fire on the Japanese troops below the city, but he did not expect that the Japanese troops would use  After the field artillery broke through the city wall, groups of Japanese troops rushed in like madmen, unable to stop him at all. And he was trapped on the north wall of the city, which made the defenders dare not bombard them with mortars, causing the situation in the north of the city to become increasingly worse.  severe.

    Now when he retreated from the north of the city to a safe neighborhood, the Red Label Army let go and concentrated all their mortars on the gap where the Japanese troops poured in in the north of the city to bombard them with artillery fire and grenades.

    "Boom, boom, boom" exploded several times in succession. Before the Japanese troops who rushed into the streets in the north of the city understood what was going on, they were blown to pieces by mortar bombs falling from the sky. Corpses were everywhere on the ground, and patches of Japanese troops were killed.  It was blown up like a watermelon that fell to the ground, and was blown to pieces. Many people rolled in the pile of dead bodies with severed hands and feet, wailing and crying in pain. The whole scene was as bloody and terrifying as hell.

    Of course, the Japanese army was determined to capture Nantou City, no matter how heavy the casualties were, and the battle in the direction of Caowei Ridge had already begun. If their side finally entered the city but was driven out, not only  So many people died in vain, and the fruits of victory were taken away by friendly forces. It was a great shame for them. Therefore, even if the Japanese officers saw their subordinates falling continuously, they would never allow them to take a step back and fight desperately.  Waving the command sword, he drove the soldiers to rush into the city.

    The Japanese army's madness and persistence were indeed beyond Li Nan's expectation. Despite the huge casualties, the Japanese army was able to continuously advance the front line into the city despite the overwhelming numbers of people and sharp artillery fire.  Artillery shells and grenades caused them great casualties, but their field artillery indiscriminately bombarded the buildings in the city, which also caused terrible casualties to the Red Label Army. Many Red Label Army were not killed by artillery fire, but  He was crushed to death by the collapsed house.

    The loss of Shuiwei forced the Red Label Army to retreat to the middle of the mountain. The loss of the middle of the mountain would mean that one-third of Nantou City had fallen. The county government at the core of the hub would directly face bullet attacks from the Japanese army, and the situation would become even more serious.  .

    "Kill, take Shuiwei back from the hands of the stupid chickens!" A Red Label Army officer excitedly raised the bayonet of his Mauser rifle and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Use the bayonet when you run out of bullets.  , if the bayonet is broken, use your hands and your teeth to destroy the enemy!"

    "Long live, long live the Red Label Army, long live the leader!" The Red Label Army, who were already red-eyed, raised their bayonets and fired in the air.?? waved wildly, followed the officer, and rushed towards the Japanese army charging fiercely across the street. The two sides soon collided, as if two waves running in opposite directions collided with each other, and there was a "boom"  A piece of burning flesh and blood was stirred up.

    Before a Red Label soldier rushed in front of the Japanese army, he raised his gun and fired at the dark crowd on the opposite side. Someone among the Japanese soldiers immediately screamed and fell to the ground, but the people behind him rushed over even more crazily.  As soon as the Red Label Army picked up the bayonet, two Japanese soldiers rushed over from the opposite side and plunged the bayonet into his chest. When he pulled it out, he had fallen into a pool of blood and was surrounded by countless pairs of soldiers who could not tell the difference between the enemy and ourselves.  The leather boots turned into flesh.

    "Grenade, fuck, whoever has a grenade, throw it over to me!" After stabbing the enemy in front of him, a Red Label soldier turned around and shouted to his companions behind him, "Blow up the Japanese ghost who killed the dog!  Explode!" As soon as he finished speaking, another Japanese soldier who rushed over had pierced his throat with a bayonet. He screamed in pain, pulled out the engineer shovel from behind, swung it fiercely, and chopped it off.  One of the opponent's wrists.

    The Japanese soldier held his severed hand and took a few steps back with a pale face. He stared with horrified eyes at the Red Label soldier whose throat was bleeding, and kept wailing. The Red Label soldier covered his neck with one hand and supported it with the other.  He landed on the ground, staring at him with the same eyes. If he still had the strength, he would have pounced on him like a tiger, but now all the blood and strength flowed out from the hole in his throat, and he finally fell powerlessly among the dead bodies.  .

    "I'm going to fuck you up!" A comrade behind the Red Flag Army saw this and couldn't help but became furious. He rushed forward with a bayonet and stabbed the severed hand crazily with the sharp blade.  The abdomen of the Japanese soldier was stabbed until it was bloody and bloody, and his intestines were broken.

    There was a "boom" explosion. This was a grenade thrown by a Red Label soldier. It exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers. It knocked over several Japanese soldiers at once. More people were injured. Many people were covered in blood, holding hands.  Howling in pain from wounds ripped open by shrapnel.

    "Slave of the Qing Dynasty, Signe (go to hell)!" The Japanese army was like an enraged beast. Although they were covered with bruises, they looked more ferocious and ferocious. They held bayonets and fought in a melee with the Red Label Army to avoid being overly concentrated and being attacked.  Red Label grenade attack.

    "Boom!" A cannonball suddenly landed at the street corner. When it exploded, a huge scorch pit immediately appeared on the ground. The Red Label troops piled up around them were already overwhelmed before they could understand what was going on.  It was blown to pieces and torn apart, and the body was even thrown high into the air and landed on the roof. It was so powerful that even people a few streets away felt their livers bursting with fear.

    "Field artillery, it's a field artillery!" A Red Label Army soldier dragged his leg that was blown off and crawled out of the collapsed ruins with difficulty. Half of his face had been burnt by gunfire, and his whole body was covered in blood. He leaned against the broken ruins.  There was blood and water constantly vomiting on the wall, and he was already dying.

    Yes, that is the power of the Japanese field artillery. The Japanese army has pushed the field artillery into the city and bombarded the Red Label Army from high ground. Its lethality is much greater than that of mortar shells and hand grenades.  The shrapnel, which is as sharp as a knife, cuts through human skin and flesh at extremely fast speeds, and can easily cut off bones and limbs. In front of steel, the fragility of the human body is completely visible.

    "Spread out, spread out!" Li Nan couldn't help but feel nervous when he discovered that the Japanese field artillery had been pushed into the city. With the help of field artillery, it was impossible to withstand the madness of the Japanese army with only mortars and grenades.  If they were allowed to fight all the way through the mountain and enter the core area of ??the county, the destruction of Nantou City would not be far away.

    Although the Red Label Army dispersed to both sides of the street, the casualties still did not stop. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Red Label Army, the Japanese infantry pressed forward step by step, and even more excitedly launched an attack on the Red Label Army along the street. Many of them  The Japanese army even risked being affected by their own artillery fire, fighting with the Red Label Army and rolling on the ground, destroying each other with hand-to-hand combat.

    "Pa!" A Red Label soldier raised his gun and shot a Japanese soldier in the face. The Japanese soldier suddenly yelled, and a terrifying big hole opened in his face, and blood and brains spurted out from inside.  , but what the Red Label Army did not expect was that the Japanese Army did not fall, but rushed over with a more ferocious posture, raised the bayonet and pierced his chest with one blow, and the two men fell to the ground holding each other in pain.  Trembling unbearably, the Japanese soldier finally stopped struggling. The Red Label Army wanted to overturn the corpse on top of him, but he quickly lowered his head feebly and stopped moving. The bayonet piercing his chest completely stabbed the life in his body.  Wearing it, he was no longer able to get up from the ground.

    "Death to Kuru! Slave of the Qing Dynasty, death to Kuru!" Seeing that the Red Label troops were unable to support themselves, a Japanese officer fell to the bayonet one after another. He could not help but excitedly waved his command knife and shouted loudly, "Kill all the Chinese people, kill all the pig-tailed people."  !¡±

    "Onboard!"Download!  "The Japanese troops let out wave after wave of thunderous cheers, rolling in like waves. For a moment, the Red Label Army could hardly lift their heads. They were either killed by gunfire or fell under the bayonet.  .

    Li Nan was about to order the soldiers to fight to the death, live and die with Nantou, and desperately block this crazy Japanese offensive. But at this moment, a thunderous cry of killing suddenly came from the direction of Dongcheng, and at the same time, there were constant bombs of grenades.  Explosions and dense gunfire came from that direction. He couldn't see clearly which group of people came to kill them, but they were obviously not the defenders in the city. He couldn't help shouting anxiously, and asked the subordinates around him, "Yes."  Who came to kill? Who came to kill?"

    After asking for a long time, no one knew. Everyone shook their heads in confusion, and one of them said in a trembling voice: "It's not a stupid Japanese ghost who came to kill from Dongcheng, is it?"

    Hearing this, everyone, including Li Nan, couldn't help but change their expressions. If another Japanese army made a surprise attack from the direction of Dongcheng, the Red Label Army in the city would face annihilation. It would be impossible to deal with two enemies at the same time. It is very likely that  It will be a complete failure.

    "It's Deputy Regiment Li, it's Deputy Regiment Li!" A Red Label Army soldier running from the street in the direction of Dongcheng, waving his arms desperately and shouting excitedly, "Deputy Regiment Li is coming from Dongcheng, come on  Reinforce us, we are saved, we are saved!"

    Hearing this, all the Red Label troops couldn't help but fall into a carnival. Everyone's spirits were lifted, as if their whole bodies were injected with vitality in an instant. Even Li Nan, who was already feeling a little desperate, also felt a little desperate at that moment.  Suddenly regaining his confidence and self-confidence, he suddenly raised his right arm and issued an order to the Japanese troops rolling towards the streets to the north: "Glorious and heroic Red Label Army soldiers, I order you to use fearless spirit to destroy the enemy and retake the North City.  , Take back every place occupied by the stubborn Japanese ghosts!"

    "Long live, long live the Red Label Army, long live the leader!" At Li Nan's order, the Red Label Army raised their bayonets one after another, turned around, and counterattacked violently like a roaring wave toward the charging Japanese troops.  In the past, they had no choice but to retreat and escape. If they could not defeat each other in terms of momentum and momentum, then the fall of Nantou City would not be reversed.

    "Kill!" Fierce and high-spirited shouts of killing erupted around Li Nan. The fiercest battle had just begun. For victory and glory, all the Red Label Army will go all out.  Fight bravely and destroy the enemy.  [(m) No pop-up window reading]
