493 Night Battle

The darkness of the night gave the new army of the Ryukyus a rare respite, and under the cover of the night, a large number of civilians were evacuated from the city, and the whole of Naha was already empty, except for those poor people trapped in the French-occupied area.

It was under the cover of darkness that the Forces nouvelles and militias were given precious time to rebuild, and muffled passwords were heard from every col and every hidden refugee camp.

"Which unit are you from...... Oh, one battalion and five companies, don't look for it, your company commander has already died...... Soldier sue me for your position?"

"Squad leader? I am the deputy company commander of the second battalion and the third company, and from now on you will join my formation...... I have appointed you as a platoon commander on the other hand, and there is a small village on the left side of the ridge in front of you, and you go and collect the scattered soldiers and militias, and in half an hour you will assemble here......"

"Remember my name, my name is Lu Ying...... From this moment on, the number of our company is the new third company, and now everyone is familiar with your comrades-in-arms and superiors, and I will take you to receive weapons and ammunition later......"

"You, you...... How did you guys get into the military uniforms? You didn't even get into the militia uniforms? And you...... Holy, you're a woman... Get out, get out of the fight, you women don't have ......"

The same scene was repeated in the depths of the mountains in the dark night, and in order to prevent the bombardment of warships on the sea, all the work of rebuilding was done in the dim light of oil lamps and dancing torches, and the soldiers did not dare to light even a bonfire.

Everyone was looking for their comrades-in-arms and superiors, and if they didn't find them, they immediately looked for high-ranking officers nearby, and the broken formation was actually restored little by little, and the most basic formations of the squad and platoon companies were quickly restored, not only that, after nine o'clock, the wounded General Liang Kun actually gathered six companies of formed troops.

The guards helped the wounded Liang Kun to remove from the gun emplacement, and the scene he saw along the way completely stunned the veteran of the Heavenly Kingdom.

There has never been such an army in East Asia, and they have all been completely dispersed by the enemy, but the soldiers at the grassroots level have not fled, but have adhered to their own discipline and stubbornly searched for comrades and officers.

Liang Kun looked at this group of sturdy young men with injuries all over his body, don't look at his military rank is the highest here, but a trace of fear actually appeared in his heart.

Everyone says that the prime minister's new army is strong, and I know that the new army is strong, but it is really beyond my imagination to be strong at this level. If in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or in the Kingdom of Heaven, after a great defeat, the defeated soldiers either fled back to their hometowns or bullied the people as bandits, and there was never a great defeat after not disturbing the people and protecting the people.

How much this group of people love the identity of soldiers, none of them even thought of escaping, and they actually have to return to the establishment and fight the enemy, this terrible spirit is where the strength of the new army lies.

"Report to the general, the new third company of the second battalion...... The new third company was completed, and the 300 people of the company were waiting for the general's orders..."Lu Ying was the first officer to complete the company-level formation, and he was also the first to report to Liang Kun.

But this sentence choked Liang Kun and spewed out all the spring water: "What? Lu Ying, I remember you, didn't you also bring it out by Luo Huo? Okay, just like that, you brought me a reinforcement company of more than 300 people?"

"Stinky boy, if you want to be promoted, just say it..."Liang Kun scolded in his mouth, but the praise in his eyes can't deceive people, this is the material for being born to be a soldier, the more dangerous it is, the more you can see your ability.

"Good boy, I, Liang Kun, don't have much power, but it's a time of war, and I can't be considered to be exempt from military orders abroad...... I appoint you as the commander of the new battalion, of course, temporarily, and the time limit will be the moment the prime minister returns......"

"It's... The general ...... "Lu Yingli saluted, he can be regarded as having completely crossed the Ming Road, and the three hundred people under his command finally have an official identity."

"Lu Ying, I just broke out of the fort, and now except for the Shuri fort that can still hold on, the rest of the forts can't hold on, how are you doing here?

There were no kind words on the battlefield, Lu Ying can be regarded as Xiao Letian's old veteran, in a sense, Lu Ying's identity is not under Liang Kun, and he is not polite to take a bowl of mountain spring water and drink it with his head up.

"General, I have three opinions that you need to decide...... First, our new army has just been reorganized, and it is really a bit chaotic, and the soldiers and officers are not familiar with each other, so we must make a visual distinction...... That's right, it's the military rank system that the prime minister said..."

"General, there is a warehouse left behind us by a cloth village, there is a large amount of red cloth in it, I will divide the red cloth, one red cloth on the shoulder is the squad leader, two are the platoon commander, three are the company commander, the one with the red cloth on the head is the battalion commander, ......and so on."

"In a chaotic battlefield, especially in night battles, with eye-catching signs, soldiers will not be chaotic and orders can be effectively communicated......"

Liang Kun understood as soon as he heard it, "Okay, you mention yì good... Isn't this the military rank system that the prime minister wanted to do in the past? Let's just do it...... What's the best way to do it?"

"Yes, of course...... It's dark now, it's very beneficial to us, I've built a unit to break it into pieces, take five or six people as a group, infiltrate the enemy, throw cold guns and throw grenades, and kill a few count, even if we can't kill a few, we can let them rest well......"

"That's right, this is also a good way, let's fight until now, who has no relatives to die at the hands of the enemy? How many dead soldiers...... You go on to say..."

"The other one is Guotou Village, General, have you forgotten it? Where is Guotou Village, where do we still have a formed army of nearly 2,000 people, which is in the hands of Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey...... They helped us contain more than 1,000 French troops, and we can't forget them......"

"Yes, of course I know about them, but we really can't help them now, and I can't help them anymore if we don't ask for soldiers, and I don't have supplies...... Liang Kun said regretfully.

"No, there is a way... Generals can be appointed to official positions in wartime... I can be the battalion commander with these two knives, Chu Zhao and they have been fighting to the death for so many days, and there are two thousand soldiers in his hands who have been run-in, why can't he be a regiment commander? The general immediately sealed the official, Chu Zhao and Luo Monkey may not care, but the morale of their subordinates is inspired......

There was a snap, "Oops...", it turned out to be that Liang Kun, who was excited, slapped his injured leg, "You have a smart brain, you are worthy of being the prime minister of the old man, just follow your ......"

Liang Kun, as a veteran of the Heavenly Kingdom adopted by Xiao Letian, his ability is actually at the level of a fierce general, but he has one of his biggest advantages is that he is very good at listening to other people's opinions, and he has a strong sense of right and wrong, and he will take the initiative to admit his mistakes if he is wrong, which is also the main reason why Xiao Letian entrusted the army to him.

In the darkness of the night, General Liang Kun hid in the mountains and finally regained his command, and one after another troops were drawn under his orders, gradually forming an encirclement posture in the city of Naha, and groups of dead soldiers began to infiltrate the city, and the brutal late-night street fighting was about to begin.

In the darkness, there were not only dead soldiers sneaking into the city, but also countless heralds running wildly in the mountains, and these indigenous soldiers who were familiar with the terrain walked through the mountains and mountains, and it was their legs that brought the resistance of the entire Ryukyu Island together.

The military boots were worn out, and the straw sandals of the mountain people, the straw shoes were crushed, and there were fleshy feet, even if the soles of the feet had been cut and drenched in blood, they still had a tenacious will and the flame of revenge in their hearts.

The panting herald had already seen the light on the Beishan defense line, and he even followed the light of the torches to see countless soldiers waving shovels, the Beishan defense line was still there, and the Beishan defense line was still growing slowly.

The herald knelt on the ground, put his head to the eye of a mountain spring, and drank two sips of spring water, the cold spring water gave him the motivation to move forward. Then he shook off his bloody footboard and rushed forward.

"General Liang Kun's order...... All the soldiers of the Beishan defense line and the militia regiment were upgraded to a new regiment, with Chu Zhao as the regiment commander and Luo Monkey as the deputy regiment commander...... Brothers, don't shoot, I'm the general's herald......"

In the light of the beating torches, the exhausted herald fell to the ground, and countless soldiers helped him into the trench, and within ten minutes, the entire Beishan defense line was jubilant.

"Hooray...... Long live the new regiment...... Lao Tzu is no longer a militia group, and Lao Tzu is also a new army this time......"

"I'm the head of the regiment, Chu Zhao...... Pass my order, the whole regiment selects death squads and prepares for a night attack... You must not let these eight lambs sleep well......"

The Kitayama defense line has gone crazy, and just when everyone is feverishly preparing for the battle, the street battle in the city of Naha has also begun.

"Brothers, take revenge... Blowing up this group of foreign devils...... "The dead soldiers lurking in the dark pulled grenades and threw them at the defending French troops, and some soldiers even rushed up with explosives bags strapped to their waists.

The tranquility of the entire city was suddenly broken, and the positions and houses of the French army in the south, south, and west became battlefields. The sound of explosions and gunfire rang out, and the warships on Shurijo Castle and the sea were on high alert.

"Shoot, shoot these madmen...... These barbarians are all madmen, all madmen......" The French army finally became frightened in the face of these fierce dead soldiers, and for the first time they flinched.

However, there was another group of hiddenrs in the dark, and after the initial panic of countless French soldiers, they suddenly discovered that this group of Asians was not united, and there were actually people helping them in the dark.

"Be careful...... There are sneak attackers, there are dead soldiers......" The Chinese French could not understand, but the fireworks that flew out with the shouting lit up a qiē, and this is how the sneak attack teams were exposed in the dark long street.

"God bless France... The group of Chinese is infighting...... Hooray..."
