Soon, some Mexicans who pretended to be dead really became dead, because of the night battle, the Mexicans did not know the situation outside, they could only hear the sound of banging gunshots, they did not dare to raise their heads and did not dare to move, which allowed Liu Enbo and Tu Gui to succeed The two brothers killed more than 30 Mexicans who pretended to be dead silently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, when they killed the second person who pretended to be dead, Liu Enbo and Tu Gui already sensed that some people were playing dead, and at the same time, they were very afraid that the Mexicans who were pretending to be dead would storm and attack them. But their worries were unnecessary, because the other party did not do this, but was honestly slaughtered by them one by one. Then the two became more and more bold, and they became more and more comfortable with killing, and they took a break from time to time.

After a while, I saw that the army in the direction of formation began to retreat, and saw my comrade-in-arms Wen Ju running back with a comrade-in-arms on his back, shouting: "The Mexicans have counterattacked, retreat." ”

"What's going on?" Liu Enbo asked hurriedly.

Wen Juju gasped and said: "There are too many enemies, their main elite counterattack, the barbarian battalion can't resist it, and is slowly retreating. What are you doing? ”

"There are a lot of people who pretend to be dead hidden here, and they were slaughtered by the two of us."

"If you have you, let's go first, it's too dark, if you fight with bayonets, we won't have an advantage."

"Okay."

The 9th and 7th Battalions then withdrew from the city of Irapuato, and then the 2nd and 4th Battalions also withdrew, and the fiercest fighting was in the north of the city, with the 1st and 3rd Battalions as the main force of the Protector Army, after fighting during the day, continuing the onslaught at night, capturing a fifth of the city and occupying many dangerous places.

However, the main elite of the Mexican People's Army quickly counterattacked, also occupied the dangerous area, and quickly built machine gun bunkers, etc., and the two sides reached a tug-of-war. After the Mexicans were returned to the south and east sides one after another, the main attack direction on the north side achieved such a result, which made Wang Yongan and Fang Xianwu and others breathe a sigh of relief. Later, they learned that Gong Wuyuan had suffered some minor injuries, but the problem was not great, and they promised that they would never lose their positions, and that the Mexicans had left no less than 2,000 corpses in front of their positions.

Of course, there were not 2,000 Mexican soldiers who actually fell in front of Gong Wuyuan's position, but one corpse after another in the dark night, which made people look a little creepy.

Early the next morning, the whole city was still fighting, and the Mexican Perez, in order to wear down the opponent, used his most elite henchmen as a general reserve, which led to the defense of the front line being quickly broken, but it was able to give the Protector a great impact when counterattacking, and the two feints were repulsed separately.

But in the face of the defense line formed by the first and third battalions of the Overseas Chinese Protector Army, they helplessly found that the opponent was more tenacious and resolute than themselves, and the opponent was equipped with a large number of Makqin heavy machine guns, and more than 1,000 people had died under the Makqin heavy machine guns.

"Keep the onslaught, drive the Chinese out of the city for me!" Perez shouted, wielding a Western Tooth Sabre command knife.

Despite the courage and tenacity of the Mexicans, many Mexicans turned and fled in the face of heavy machine gun fire. There was no point in continuing the offensive, the Mexican People's Army was extremely disorganized, and Pérez no longer ordered the army to attack in order to regroup. But with the attack of Chinese soldiers with heavy machine guns, grenades, rifles and bayonets, the Mexicans were defeated one by one, and soon the entire residential area on the north side of Irapuato was captured. However, because the northern area was too large and the Chinese were insufficient, they had no choice but to hold on and wait until dawn.

A large number of wounded soldiers and dead soldiers were pulled back from the front line, in order to consolidate the position in the north of the city, Wang Yongan put the sixth battalion of the baggage battalion into it, and let the second and ninth battalions continue to attack the south and east of the city, in order to contain the enemy, the fourth battalion began guerrilla operations, the artillery battalion provided fire support for the north of the city, everything was given priority to the north of the city, and the city of Ilapuato was also ruined because of the long fierce battle.

At noon the next day, at the suggestion of Fang Xianwu, the 1st and 3rd Battalions were replaced by the 2nd, 9th, and 7th Battalions, while the 1st and 3rd Battalions rested in the rear, and the 10th Battalion, formed by the Americans, continued to harass and attack.

In the respite of rest, Li Shirui, commander of the third battalion, took the opportunity to make a suggestion: "The east of the city has not been attacked by us, and I think we should try to attack from the east of the city tonight." ”

"Pay attention to the casualties, we have nothing to add." Wang Yongan commanded.

Shortly after the departure of the Third Battalion, someone suddenly reported that more than 100 young Chinese people had come to join the army, and these people reported that in order to support the Overseas Chinese Protector Army, bloody Chinese youths from all over the Americas had gone from all over the country. After hearing this, Wang Yongan acted in a big way, and added the Chinese youth to the baggage battalion, and then transferred soldiers from the baggage battalion to supplement the main force.

The sudden attack of the 3rd Battalion on the east side caused great trouble for the Mexicans, because there were a large number of factories and banks on the east side of the East Gate Irapuato, and although the attack of the 3rd Battalion was repelled by the Mexicans, Li Shirui set a fire when he left, burning almost all the factories and banks, as well as government offices such as the telegraph office. Had it not been for the preparations of Perez, the commander of the Irapuato garrison of the Mexican People's Army, their ammunition depots and granaries would have been burned down by the Chinese.

On the second day, the two sides fought for each other in the north of the city, and in order to facilitate command and dispatch, Wang Yongan set up the headquarters in the north of the city, and the field hospital, prisoner of war camp, baggage, and logistics were all placed here. Many of the student battalion soldiers were transferred, and the remaining and wounded were responsible for guarding the prisoners of war, and because of the sacrifice of many comrades, the attitude towards the prisoners of war was very poor. In this era, there was no so-called three disciplines and eight points of attention, and the Qing Dynasty did not participate in any Geneva Prisoners of War Convention, so these prisoners of war were ruthlessly killed if they resisted a little, and a large number of prisoners of war and wounded also died, and at least thirty or forty people were taken from the prisoner of war camp every day and hurriedly buried.

After three days of day and night onslaught, the Mexicans suffered heavy losses, and the Mexicans gradually adapted to night fighting, and although they were not good at night fighting, they were good at learning. Gradually, the Protectors found that the Mexicans were resisting more and more resolutely, and of course the Mexicans were being killed and wounded more and more, and the entire city was almost empty, with corpses scattered all over the streets.

In the summer city, the corpses decompose quickly, the city is full of blood and the smell of corpses, and the soldiers on both sides are fighting to the death in this place full of corpses.

The resistance of the Mexicans was far more fierce than expected, and perhaps they were not formally trained, but they did not lack courage.
