Captain Fang Zhiyong did not act rashly, and still let the Atayal commander Jacob lead more than 200 Atayal soldiers to hold their positions, maneuver with the enemy, and drag this enemy. Fang Zhiyong's strength was only a little over a hundred, which was not enough to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, repelling the enemy but allowing the enemy's forces to gather, and the new martial army wanted to kill and wound as many enemies as possible. Lieutenant Colonel Su Yuanchun gave him the task of familiarizing himself with the terrain and trying not to reveal his whereabouts. Waiting for the large army to bring in the mountain-splitting artillery, the first battle will teach the enemy a painful lesson.

The tactics formulated by Li Guolou are different from the previous Qing army, and the new military army infiltrated the territory of the Atayal tribe, which is the Ming Xiu plank road and the dark Chen Cang.

According to the common sense of the Japanese army, the Xinwu army would move northward, first joining up with the Jianwu army in Keelung Port. However, Li Guolou ignored the friendly army, and the suspicious troops moved north, and the main force turned to the east and west, heading straight to Dawu Mountain.

The enemy was swimming on a ridge four or five hundred meters away, a distance that was hand-to-hand for a sharpshooter. But Captain Fang Zhiyong still ordered, "Don't shoot!" ”

The bullet will expose the whereabouts of the new armed forces, Fang Zhiyong is calm-headed and not tempted by a little profit. Fang Zhiyong drew a topographical map and turned back to the cave.

The first post of the ninth battalion marched lightly and did not carry artillery, and each soldier carried a spear, a broadsword, and a dozen grenades, and the weight of ordinary soldiers was more than 40 catties.

The ammunition box was carried by a large man, and the two days and two nights of rapid marching were exhausting enough. But still in accordance with military regulations, the excavation of fortifications. Place grenades in front of the battle and build a turret in a hidden place. Although it was rainy and the ground was wet, the morale of the warriors was high and they had adapted to life in the rainforest.

The beautiful stream, the pure and natural Atayal girl with affectionate eyebrows, the Atayal girl with trembling twin peaks, subconsciously covering her chest with her hands? Admire the tall and burly soldiers of the new armed forces.

The soldiers of the new martial arts army did not dare to be greedy for momentary pleasure, it turned out that the white bone spirit was so lovely, and he reluctantly looked away and looked at the bright moon.

The meandering stream, the full moon floating in the clouds, as if a hand is moving this still life painting. In the towering woods, two red-billed turtledoves poached out of the treetops, and a few white rabbits foraged for grass in the woods under the moonlight.

Dawu Mountain quietly welcomed the defenders of the motherland, and the girls at the east gate of the motherland opened their minds

There are always soldiers of the new armed army who are greedy for a moment of pleasure and fall on the grass with the Atayal girl

"Why are you looking at me like that? Won't it cover up the shyness of your love? More beautiful than anything else! The light pink red lips are even more charming than the burning nudity!

You stared at me so hard that your eyes burned like jewels! Makes it impossible for me to breathe!

We are only one side, but why do you have to drill into my heart like an awl? Beautiful girl, I can throw you off like a burden, why can't I leave you in my heart? Why are you in my eyes.

If it weren't for this military uniform, I would have taken you home and taken you to the far reaches of the world, and stayed with you for the rest of your life!

This is the true love of a warrior, who can understand? There is no more direct love than this! Because the motherland has measured my mind!

Bye! Although I have left you, once you are invaded by the enemy, I will be the first to jump out of the trench and give my life for you! Bless you, beautiful Atayal girl! ”

The soldiers of the new armed forces waved goodbye to the short Atayal girl

The soldiers of the New Armed Forces do not fight with guns, but work silently, and for them, this is war, and the minutiae are the beginning of war.

An Atayal warrior wanted to touch the grenade, but the Xinwu soldier sternly reprimanded him and snatched the grenade to prevent the Atayal warrior from touching the grenade. This is not a big knife, and it is no problem to play a few times. There was a slight conflict between the two armies, which was quickly settled.

The chief of the Xinwu army buried the pot to cook, and the captain put a large iron pot on the simple stove, and the soldiers poured the water from the iron helmet into the iron pot.

Although the water of the stream was crystal clear, according to the military regulations of the Xinwu Army, the soldiers were required to drink boiled water if conditions permitted. The first thing you need to do is drink water.

After the man boiled a pot of boiling water, the soldiers of the Xinwu Army lined up and filled the kettle.

The Atayal warriors looked at the New Martial Army soldiers with strange eyes, what did they want to see the New Martial Army soldiers eat? I also wanted to get a partner, but I saw the soldiers of the new armed forces drinking boiled water.

Next, the man cooks the rice, first chops a piece of pickled wild boar meat, puts it in water, cooks it until it is half-cooked, and then pours the wild vegetables and rice into the pot. After a while, the aroma of a large pot of wild boar meat rice wafted all around.

The aroma can even be smelled by the enemy on another mountain, making the enemy salivate, when will the Atayal warriors be willing to eat rice?

The Atayal warriors and the soldiers of the Xinwu Army eat the same meal, and there are the same amounts, one bowl per person, fair and open, and the officers of the New Armed Army also eat the same bowl of rice. Only the strong man who carried the ammunition box happily ate half a bowl of rice.

The Japanese prisoner of war Yokohiku Goro was thrown in the corner of a tunnel, he didn't eat breakfast, and he wanted to kill Shengren and be a hero.

Goro Yokochi's snort smelled the scent of pork, his stomach growled with hunger, his mouth was full of relish, and his thoughts were struggling. Repeatedly admonished yourself to hold back and not to be tempted by the enemy's small favors.

Xu Zhong took a bowl of rice and asked kindly, "Have the Japanese eaten?" ”

Goro Yokochi twisted his head, pretending not to see it, starving to death and not eating the enemy's food.

Xu Zhong smiled slightly, put the copper jar at the feet of the Japanese prisoners of war, and said, "If you want to eat, you can eat it, if you don't eat it, I can still feed the dogs." ”

Gorou Yokoriku's head slowly turned back, staring at the bowl of vegetables and rice, and finally stretched out his two hands, preferring to be a full dead ghost and reincarnate as soon as possible.

The Japanese prisoner of war Yokoryō Goro ate pork and vegetables, had a great appetite, and wiped his mouth with great satisfaction. Determined to live well, he gestured to Xu Zhong and said that he wanted to add a little pork and rice, and Goro Yokoriku began to communicate with Xu Zhong with gestures

The captured Japanese prisoner of war was a native of Yokohama, who claimed to be Yokoloku Goro, and ate a pork vegetable meal, and at noon, Yokoriku Goro was willing to communicate with Xu Zhong with a pen.

The people of Yokohama are outliers among the Japanese, mavericks, and do not have the spirit of respecting the emperor, and in several peasant uprisings in Japan, there are people in Yokohama who make trouble, although the people of Yokohama respect the spirit of bushido, but they respect the strong and are willing to submit to the feet of the strong.

Although Goro Yokochi refused to reveal the military situation of the Japanese army, he had a good attitude, kept bowing, apologized to the people of Taiwan, and admitted that the Japanese army was an aggressor and had no tendency to commit suicide.

Xu Zhong patiently did the ideological work, and asked repeatedly. Goro Yokoriku wrote the word "pick" on the paper, which meant that there were ten Japanese advisers on the other side of the ridge. The military information that Goro Yokoshiku is willing to confide in,That's the only point.,Don't say anything else.。

In the afternoon, the prisoner of war was escorted to the rear, and Yokolu Goro became the second Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Xinwu Army, and after that, he was imprisoned with the first prisoner of war with the military monk.

Su Yuanchun led more than 700 soldiers of the Xinwu Army to the forward position, carrying 20 mountain-splitting cannons.

This kind of small mountain-splitting cannon is a cannon made by the Qing Dynasty itself, with a caliber of 180 mm, huge power, and a weight of 100 catties, but the disadvantage is that the firing range is short, less than 1000 meters. However, after the small mountain splitting cannon is disassembled, it can be carried on the shoulder, and it is very convenient to carry it by mules and horses.

There were also thirty small steel cannons, which were lighter and could be carried by one person, and were the new weapons of Prussia. Different from the mountain-splitting cannon, the small steel cannon is a front-mounted artillery, which is not very powerful, but it is easy to carry, can be used on any terrain, and can achieve accurate strikes within three or four hundred meters.

The foothills are rugged, and along the way are the people of the Atayal tribe who carry burdens, they are the transport brigade of the Xinwu Army, and even the women carry bamboo baskets with grenades in them.

More than 2,000 people of the Atayal tribe are carrying weapons and ammunition for the Xinwu Army, and the Xinwu Army is fighting with the support of the people of the Atayal people. The Atayal people are all soldiers, supporting the Qing army to fight, and the people of the ethnic minorities are simple-minded and absolutely obey the tribal leaders.

Su Yuanchun inspected the terrain, four or five hundred Beidong warriors occupied a hill, although the enemy did not fall into a pocket trap, but the height of the hill is only more than 400 meters high, the slope is not steep, the entire hill is within the range of artillery.

Su Yuanchun spent a lot of money to transport fifty artillery pieces to the front line, fighting a war is to burn money, and being brave also requires financial support. The new armed forces have a full understanding of the enemy, and this is not a war of bravery, but a competition of whose strength is strong.

The Beidong people did not have artillery, and this loophole was seized by the Xinwu army. The task given to Su Yuanchun by Li Guolou was to win a small-scale battle to inspire the people. But Su Yuanchun has two battalions of troops, how can he aim to repel the enemy, Su Yuanchun has a great appetite, and the four or five hundred Beidong warriors in front of him are his first target, and he wants to break the situation that the enemy in Dawu Mountain is strong and I am weak.

Su Yuanchun said to Hu Hanping, the lieutenant colonel of the eighth battalion beside him: "Xiao Hu, this battle is all up to you, how many shells do you want to destroy the enemy's position?" ”

"This kind of rudimentary fortification is not easy to attack, and I think a hundred shells are enough." Hu Hanping is the lieutenant colonel of the eighth battalion, the first batch of students of Xinwutang, and debuted with Su Yuanchun.

Hu Hanping and Su Yuanchun have the same rank, but Su Yuanchun is already a backup lieutenant colonel and has become his commander. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he still obeyed Su Yuanchun's leadership.

"One hundred rounds! Are you mistaken, there are only so many enemies, I want a targeted killing, and I will use a maximum of eighty shells for you. "Su Yuanchun felt a pain in his flesh, shells are the lifeblood of the Xinwu Army, how can they be wasted on a hill, and they are useless Beidong people.

"Well, let me do the math, one shell kills three enemies, and eighty shells can only cripple the enemy, but I still insist on using a hundred shells, so that I can destroy the enemy's defense system in one fell swoop and capture the first hill." Hu Hanping knew the importance of artillery, and the Xinwu army wanted to reduce casualties, so it could only destroy the enemy by firepower.

The bargaining between the two commanders is like doing business, and for them, the victory or defeat of the war can already be turned into tactical figures, and the resources in their hands can be used rationally, so that they cannot waste it, and they must also achieve the goal of a decisive battle.

The officers of the two battalions of the battalion headquarters held a military meeting, and the officers in the cave gathered together to study the enemy situation and the battle for tomorrow. None of the arrogant soldiers paid attention to the enemy on the hill, and they were all talking about capturing a few Japanese advisers alive.

Although Su Yuanchun constantly sounded the alarm bell to his officers, he repeatedly said, "The Beidong soldiers are very brave and have a high military quality. "In fact, I also look down on the Beidong warriors in my heart, the Beidong warriors are like the old-fashioned Eight Banners soldiers, the army that can't fight modern wars, where is the opponent of the new martial army?

The height of the Atayal comrades-in-arms is about 1.5 meters, just like monkeys, and so on, the Beidong people are also similar, and the bravery of the ethnic minorities is relatively speaking, hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers of the new armed forces fight two people alone.

Su Yuanchun boosted morale, made a general mobilization before the war, and said: "This attack on No. 1 Hill is the first battle of our new armed forces in Taiwan, and we must fight it well, build the confidence of the Taiwan people, and let more ethnic minorities support us." Receiving a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Li, he asked us to take the No. 1 hill at any cost, clear the enemy of Dawu Mountain, and attack the Taitung Plain like a tiger. Defeat the arrogance of the Beidong people, and if the enemy refuses to surrender, they will be completely destroyed. I command! ”

"Smack!" The officers in the cave all stood upright, with expressions of death as if they were at home. When you came to Taiwan, you didn't want to go back alive, and you buried your loyal bones in Qingshan? Leave a good name in the world.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock sharp, we will attack the enemy's No. 1 hill, and in a battle, we will destroy the enemy's morale and give the enemy no chance to resist. The pursuit battle was handed over to the Atayal warriors, and the prisoners of war were handed over to Jacob, and our army had no place to replenish the supply of troops for a while, so we had to minimize the casualties of our army. Su Yuanchun understood the deep meaning of the governor Li Guolou, and to deal with the rebellious ethnic minorities, he had to use brutal massacre tactics.

The Beidong people had only two options, either surrender on their knees or exterminate them.

The Xinwu army wanted to kill the enemy to the ground and severely punish the Beidong people who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty.

Influenced by Confucian culture, the Chinese nation will show favors to the invading foreign nations, and will treat the invading prisoners of war well in order to break the enemy's military morale. On the contrary, he took cruel revenge on the traitors of his own nation, and settled old accounts after the autumn.
