Chapter 148: Pingpu Annihilation Battle (1)

"This battle of Pingpu must be a battle for my brigade to show off its might!"

The Ninth Master is well versed in the art of war, knows that morale is very important to the army, and has witnessed the great-grandson's management of the army, so he cheered for the officers and soldiers several times during the march.

He was full of anger and a loud voice, and everyone was excited to hear it in the ears of the officers and men. Thinking that the enemy is just the indigenous people of Taiwan, and destroying them is simply a knife to kill a chicken, and the battle is great, so all the departments have accelerated their march, and they all want to gain something in the subsequent battle.

"At this rate, you will be able to reach Pingpu before dawn!"

The spiritual leader of the officers and soldiers made the ninth master very happy, and knocked on the tree the big tobacco pouch specially sent by his great-nephew and great-grandson in his hand.

"Let's go" took a few puffs, the ninth master was more energetic, his old man actually didn't like this choking tobacco leaves, but the great-grandson specially gave him a cigarette pouch, and if he didn't smoke, he wasted a piece of his great-grandson's mind.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, according to the intelligence, the people of Pingpu are shengfan, their weapons are very poor, most of them are bamboo guns and arrows, and their leader Aganon is also a reckless man who sits in a well and watches the sky, so there is no need to worry at all."

It was Matsumoto Oka, the captain of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, who was a fellow villager with Koji Yamamoto, who had been promoted to the rank of captain of the 4th Guards Infantry Wing, but he was ten years older than Yuki Yamamoto, and he was already 49 years old this year.

Since joining the Imperial Army, Matsumotooka has never forgotten to return to his hometown of Kaga, but he knows that if he returns to his hometown as a prisoner, it is better to stay in Daming as a hard laborer.

Therefore, he must grasp the present opportunity and work hard to kill the enemy and become an excellent general of the Ming Imperial Army, so that he can return to his hometown with dignity and take revenge on the reactionary group that forced them to leave their hometown and fight in a foreign land.

Matsumotooka was very optimistic about the elimination of Pingpu and supported the battle plan of His Excellency the Brigade Commander. He believed that the battle plan drawn up by the chief of staff was too conservative and did not conform to the heroic style of the imperial army.

Captain Matsumoto's opinion really reached the heart of the Ninth Prince, he smiled and nodded to show his appreciation, and was about to say a few more words, but his stomach was "gurgling", and in the blink of an eye, sweat oozed from the Ninth Lord's forehead.

Yaga!

The Ninth Master scolded secretly, I don't know if it was because of the unsuitability or what the reason, his old man actually had a stomach trouble at this critical time.

"Your Excellency!"

"Six masters!"

Captain Matsumoto and Wei Dayuan, who served as an operational staff officer, whispered with concern at the same time.

"Hmmm! ...”

The ninth master's face was flushed, and his legs were also tightly together, he motioned to Matsumoto and Da Yuan not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers who were marching, and then in a panic took out a stack of toilet paper specially provided by the treasure money division for the imperial army from Da Yuan's backpack, and looked around.

"Your Excellency, get there!"

Captain Matsumoto realized that there was an urgent problem with His Excellency the Brigade Commander, and he stepped forward to help His Excellency the Brigade Commander not far away.

"Your Excellency, do not shy away from anything, just here!"

Captain Matsumoto looked loyal and concerned.

"Hmm..."

The Ninth Master said anything else, unbuckled his belt and squatted down, and then heard a muffled sound, followed by a long sound.

Matsumoto, who hadn't had time to avoid the side, felt a spray of gas coming from his face, making his pores open: This is really the taste of nobles!

"Whew!"

The relieved Ninth Master finished his business, lifted his pants easily, and looked around, as if it was a sugarcane forest. Looking back at Matsumoto, he stood silently to the side, and couldn't help but be moved.

I wanted to say a few words, but I felt that the occasion was not quite right, so I put a thousand words in my heart, and I couldn't help but think in my heart that Matsumoto was a good person, it was really good.

As soon as the ninth master returned to the side of the road, Da Yuan came up: "Sixth master, the first squadron has reported urgently, they have arrived in Pingpufan, asking whether to attack!" ”

"Oh?!"

As soon as he heard that the enemy had been discovered, the Ninth Master's emotions immediately became agitated again, and he pointed his big cigarette pouch forward, and ordered Lu Jianrong, the chief of staff of the brigade and regiment who was operating with the First Brigade, to immediately deploy combat preparations and launch an attack when his old man arrived.

.........

When Squadron Leader Kumamoto received the order from his superiors, he had already led the 1st Squadron to lurk in a place less than four miles southwest of the Pingpu village.

The villages of the Pingpu people here are all plain terrain, and there are mountains and forests only a dozen miles to the southeast. According to pre-war intelligence, the Pingpu people did not farm like the Han people, but made a living by hunting and headhunting.

Hunting is the hunting of animals as a source of food. Headhunting is an act that borders on barbarism. From time to time, the Pingpu people invaded the surrounding Han people and "familiar fans", robbed and kidnapped at the same time, and then demanded ransom and food. When the demands could not be met, they would cut off the heads of the hostages and erect them in an open area with bamboo, giving the surrounding acquaintances and Hermes-Epitek a kind of psychological terror.

The Pingpu people do not settle in one place, and their villages usually change places every three to five months, but in general they do not leave this area in the heart of Taipei. In a way, the Pingpu people are very similar to the nomads in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, except that one has horses and the other does not.

This time, the village of the Pingpu people was discovered so quickly, and it was also due to the oppression of the Pingpu people on weekdays by the "familiar fan", that is, the new Han people who had just become a member of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the assistance of the security teams of Xinsanxiang and Xinsixiang, it would have been impossible for the First Brigade to find the Pingpu people in an area where they were unfamiliar and the overall environment was almost primitive.

As the commander of the brigade, the ninth master has a clairvoyant mirror. In the clairglass mirror, the Pingpu people's villages are all over the area, and it is very difficult to enclose them. However, it may be the reason why they are the "hegemon" of this area on weekdays, and because of the continuous migration, the villages of the Pingpu people are very poorly built, and they can't even be called any defensive measures.

Chief of Staff Lu Jianrong also discovered the Achilles' heel of the Pingpu people, and quickly formulated a frontal assault plan with the First Infantry Brigade as the main force and the Second Infantry Brigade following closely behind.

The Ninth Master approved the battle plan, and Xu Xing, the brigade of the First Infantry Brigade, quickly summoned the squadron leader to convey the battle order.

At about a moment's notice, the battle began.

The 1st Infantry Squadron, which inherited the spirit of "Wind Forest Volcano", under the leadership of squadron leader Kumamoto, jumped up from its hiding place and stabbed at the Pingpu people like a sharp knife.

The sound of guns and shouts of killing soon woke the Pingpu people in the village from their dreams, and their leader, Aganon, took a long knife from his wife while dressing, and quickly rushed out of the house.

The men in the stockade are holding all kinds of weapons and are gathering in a panic to the side where the head man is, and he heard from a distance that someone is shouting that the Ming people are coming, Aganon can't help but be angry, in his opinion, what Ming country, what Han people have nothing to do with their Pingpu people, those Ming troops came to the island absolutely not well, they just want to turn the Pingpu people into their slaves, so he ignored the notice of the Ming army, and killed the familiar fan who passed the word for the Ming people.
