Chapter 77: The Jacques Army Sneaks Up Again

After the battle of Lager Town, Dagaan fled back to the Yak Princely State, and the Huaxia Army, led by the Chief of the General Staff Su Wenzhen and others, divided their ways and swept away the tribes of the Yak Princely State.

At this time, after the first battle of the town of Lag, all the natives of the Yak princely state had lost their fear, and did not dare to fight the Huaxia army head-on, as soon as the Huaxia army arrived, they retreated and scattered to hide in the jungle.

Faced with this situation, Hu Zhen issued an order to all detachments, demanding that they be dispersed for dispersed, and the Huaxia Army was also divided into pieces to pursue and kill the enemy and search and rescue the Chinese.

This measure was really effective, and the various departments of the Yak Princely State were immediately shattered by the Huaxia army.

The Chinese army marched forward in all directions and searched and rescued more than 100,000 Chinese in the central area of Borneo. The five detachments of the Huaxia Army quickly expanded to more than 20,000 people, but due to the rapid expansion of the territory area, each detachment had to be dispersed and stationed in various places, training new recruits while searching for the remnants of the Jacques Army.

In the face of heavy losses, how could Dagaan, lord of the princely state of Jacques, stop there?

He got a large number of European-made single-shot rifles from the outside world, and suddenly cobbled together more than 20,000 men and horses when the Chinese army was scattered, but he did not dare to attack the town of Lag again, with its high smoke windows and the monsters of steam locomotives on railroad tracks, but personally led the raid on Tiecheng Mountain, which had few troops and not so many strange things.

Because, the Jacques army is very familiar with the terrain of Tiecheng Mountain, and the most terrible thing is that the distance from Tiecheng Mountain to Lag Town is more than 200 kilometers, and according to the traditional way of marching, it generally takes at least three days, even if it is two days at the earliest.

But this time, Dagaan did not attack violently at the beginning, but used the method of sneak attack.

After the Huaxia Army captured Tiecheng Mountain, Jiang Yunfeng's three detachments were responsible for garrisoning and sweeping away the surrounding hostile tribal forces. At the time of the decisive battle of Lage Town, Hu Zhen ordered three detachments to rush to participate in the decisive battle, and left a battalion in the decisive battle, and the decisive battle of Lage Town was a great victory, and even the main force of the Huaxia Army of this battalion was sent out to pursue and sweep the Yak Army, leaving only a company of more than 130 people and more than 1,000 Chinese militia to garrison.

The company commander of the Huaxia Army stationed at Tiecheng Mountain was He Pingxiong.

He Pingxiong was originally the platoon commander of the second detachment, but due to the rapid expansion of the Huaxia Army, He Pingxiong was quickly transferred to the third detachment and promoted to company commander, and was arranged to lead his troops to garrison Tiecheng Mountain.

Because he did not participate in the Battle of Lag Town, let alone the pursuit of the remnants of the Jacques Army, He Pingxiong's company was almost unsuccessful, and the veterans were very depressed when they saw other companies winning awards for meritorious service.

But He Pingxiong was very calm about this, almost as if nothing had happened, and led the company soldiers and militiamen to conduct rigorous training day after day.

That night, the defenders of Tiecheng Mountain, who had been tired all day, rested at the specified time after studying the cultural class according to Hu Zhen's request.

He Pingxiong, who was also exhausted, slept until midnight, got up and dressed neatly, and took a communications soldier carrying two light machine guns to inspect various sentry posts.

He Pingxiong did not dare to be a little careless about such an important strategic point that he was responsible for guarding the Huaxia Army, given that the Huaxia Army was secretly attacking and conquering Tiecheng Mountain, these days, he has developed a habit of patrolling after the second half of the night.

The sentry at the entrance of Tiecheng Mountain didn't find anything unusual, and He Pingxiong turned to the sentry on the mountain.

Since the outside of the mountain is full of cliffs, and there are only five sentry posts on the mountain several kilometers long, He Pingxiong was worried that the sentry personnel would be relatively lax, so he simply did not light torches, and groped his way forward on the path with the signal soldiers in the hazy moonlight.

After looking at the four sentry posts on the mountain, there was no problem, and it was close to Foxiao at this time, and the very sleepy communication soldier muttered: "There is nothing to do, it is no problem whether to go to the fifth sentry or not, right?" ”

"No, why don't you get it done." He Pingxiong flatly rejected him and continued to move forward.

The communication soldier just saw He Pingxiong patrolling in the dark night and night but didn't find any problems, and just complained, but where he dared to disobey the order, he could only obediently follow.

As we reached the position of the fifth sentry, something unusual happened.

He Pingxiong and the communications soldiers heard a boom, and it looked like a human body had fallen to the ground.

He Pingxiong motioned to the communications soldiers to stop quickly, and asked, "What's going on ahead?" ”

But He Pingxiong asked twice in succession, but no one answered.

Odd? According to the infantry code of the Huaxia Army, when setting up a sentry post, it is necessary to set up a double sentry post, that is, a heavy open post and a heavy dark sentry. But at this time, the bright whistle did not answer, and the dark whistle did not answer.

"Get down on your stomach and set up your machine gun!" He Pingxiong snapped and lay down on the spot in a standard posture.

But the signal soldier moved a little slower, and a dozen crossbow arrows whizzed through the air, stuck in his chest, and died on the spot.

In an instant, He Pingxiong set up a light machine gun on the spot, aimed at several black shadows shot by crossbow arrows, and suddenly fired a succession, knocking them all down.

Who knows, more black shadows jumped in the surrounding grass and rushed towards He Pingxiong's position.

He Pingxiong opened fire violently, knocking down the black shadows, and when the bullets were finished, he did not change the magazine, turned over and rolled, rolled to the side of the corpse of the signal soldier, picked up the light machine gun he carried, opened the bolt safety and opened fire violently.

The black shadows didn't expect that there was only one person on the other side but there was such a fierce and violent firepower, all the people who rushed in front were knocked down, and the ones behind were not shot, and they were so frightened that they immediately lay down and never dared to look up again.

He Pingxiong finished the bullets in the magazines of the two light machine guns in one go, took out two grenades from his waist and threw them over.

The sound of a booming explosion suddenly resounded through the mountains.

This woke up all the Chinese soldiers and Chinese stationed on Tiecheng Mountain.

It also woke up the Jacques army who were still trying to sneak attack.

Daga Angui is the king of the Jacques Tugang, of course, he did not climb the mountain with the sneak attack team, but his henchmen led the team to climb the cliff and sneak attack.

Seeing that the sneak attack was exposed, Dajia Anxin no longer concealed it, but ordered his subordinates to rely on the strength of the crowd to launch a strong attack on He Pingxiong alone.

With this style of fighting, the armies of the indigenous tribes and the armies of the European powers guarding Tiecheng Mountain have all been captured by the Jacques army.

But Da Jia'an and the Jacques army had bad luck and ran into the Huaxia army and a cautious He Pingxiong.

He Pingxiong took advantage of the short time of the grenade explosion to load the light machine gun with a new magazine, and blocked the steady stream of Yak troops with a heavy rain of bullets.

He Pingxiong's two light machine guns kept firing alternately, knocking down pieces of the Yak army and blocking the way of the Yak army.

The sneak attack of the Jacques army could not pass, only hoping that the three ropes behind would climb up more people, at this time there were two or three hundred Jacques troops who had climbed to the top of the Iron City, desperately rushing to try to break away from He Pingxiong's blockage.
