Chapter 310: The Great Defeat of Saigo
Nishikanjiro saw a Satsuma samurai swing his sword and cut off a Shoban's arm holding a rifle, and the Shoban fell to the ground with a broken arm, screaming loudly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw such a scene, and until now, not a single enemy had hit him, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
But the next scene made his heart fall into the ice cave again.
At about the same time, a rifle with a bayonet flew over and stabbed the Satsuma samurai in half!
The Satsuma samurai couldn't believe he was being stabbed like this, he stared blankly at the rifle stuck in his chest, and his body was about to fall, he tried to hold himself on the ground with his katana, but before he could stand firmly, a shoban had already rushed up, pulled out the rifle stuck in his chest, and then flew up and kicked him into the trap.
The boy held a rifle with a bayonet, but instead of smashing a bayonet, he stabbed another Japanese soldier to death in a strange position like a primitive man using a spear. At the same time as he quickly drew his bayonet, he fired another shot at the charging Japanese troops.
It may be that the Japanese stormtroopers are too dense, and Nishikanjiro couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that two Japanese soldiers fell screaming.
At this time, the right flank of the Japanese army was also attacked, and countless bullets flew in, and Nishikanjiro turned his head and immediately saw about 100 people, and these people also held real rifles in their hands!
Suddenly, there was also a gunshot above Nishikuan Jiro's head, and he raised his head and found that there were a few more students on the big tree!
Ikuban in the tree threw away the camouflage on his body, raised his rifle and began to shoot downward, and the Japanese who were caught off guard were suddenly hit by such a terrible blow, and the team immediately fell into chaos.
Nishikanjiro threw away the rifle that was already empty in his hand, pulled out the revolver on his waist, and fired at the raw fan on the tree, probably because of panic, his first shot did not hit the other party, and the other party was reminded by his gunshot, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at him.
At this time, Nishikanjiro had no time to dodge, he gritted his teeth and fired again, and at about the same time, Shengban's gun also rang out.
Nishikanjiro saw the bullet from his pistol hit the other man's chest, and the Ikuban glared at him fiercely for a moment, and fell headlong from the tree.
Seeing that he finally had the results of the battle, there was no trace of excitement in Nishikanjiro's heart, and he just wanted to continue aiming, but suddenly found that his arm did not obey the call.
Xikuan Jiro looked down, only to realize that the other party's shot just now actually broke his right arm!
After the first round of shooting, the students who hid in the tree jumped from the tree one after another, and slashed the Japanese soldiers with their knives, although many Japanese soldiers died under the knife of the students, but because of their participation, the students on the periphery were afraid of hurting their own people, so they stopped shooting one after another, but stepped forward to start a melee battle with the Japanese, which invisibly reduced the pressure on the Japanese.
By now, Nishikanjiro had clearly known that there was only one way out in front of him, and that was to take advantage of the current opportunity to retreat quickly. So, he led his subordinates to start fighting and retreating. At this time, he could no longer fight, and more than half of the Japanese soldiers were either killed or wounded, and the death of a large number of brave Satsuma samurai made the Japanese soldiers feel the horror of their fighting power, they had lost their fighting spirit, and now they were purely fighting for their lives!
I don't know how long later, when Nishikanjiro saw the river in front of him, he realized that he had escaped from the forest that represented death.
Nishikuan Erlang looked back, and there were still gunshots and screams and shouts from time to time in the forest in the distance, and there were only a few dozen people who escaped with him!
And these people who escaped by luck were full of fear written on their faces.
For them, they may only have encountered such a fierce battle once in their lives!
Nishikanjiro was supported by one of his subordinates, and finally crossed the river, when he felt a sharp pain in his intestines begin to ache again, and he almost couldn't stand. He gritted his teeth and persevered, trying to move his steps so that he would not stop.
He knew that as long as he stopped, he would never get out of here again.
After walking for a while, when Nishikanjiro finally saw his own people in the brigade who appeared in front of him, his feet were weak, he could no longer stand, fell to the ground, and fainted.
When Nishikanjiro woke up, he found that he was already lying on a stretcher, and what was shaking in front of him was the face of Lieutenant General Saigo Congdao, the supreme commander of the "Taiwan Troops" operation.
"General! I ......"
"You've done a great job! Rest well! Contrary to Nishikanjiro's expectations, Saigo didn't blame him.
After Saigo finished speaking, he walked away. Nishikuan Jiro looked around, only to realize that the place where he was turned out to be a living village!
The village was large, mostly made of thatch and bamboo, and Saigo walked from the road to a hut, and Nishikanjiro noticed that the door of the hut was guarded by guards and a sun flag was planted on the roof.
Could it be that this is the old nest of Shengfan? Shengban has been defeated?
Thinking of this, Nishikanjiro became excited again.
At this time, the trainee staff officer Kunitabu Hiko Qi came to visit him, and Nishikuan Jiro immediately asked him about the situation: "What kind of place is this?" ”
"This is a village in Shengfan, Xikuanjun." Kunitabu Hikochi replied, "Right in front of the forest where you and the vanguard fought with the vanguard just now. ”
"Have you killed all the students?" Nishikanjiro asked with some eagerness as he remembered the fierce battle that took place in the forest.
"We killed about fifty of them and captured about a dozen wounded." Kunitabu Hikochi looked around and replied, "However, this village was abandoned by them before we arrived, because we didn't see a single person when we first entered the village. ”
"How many casualties do we have?" Nishikanjiro asked again.
"About three hundred people were killed and about two hundred wounded." Kunita Hikochi remembered the battle just now, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "These people are really fierce!" ”
"Ikuban left the village, where did he go?" Nishikanjiro then asked.
"I guess I went to their lair." Kunitabu Hikochi pointed to a few peaks in the distance and said, "Their nest is built on the mountain. ”
"Why don't we immediately pursue and attack their lair?" Nishikanjiro asked a little strangely.
"The road to get there, it's very steep, and it's built into a cliff." "And there are many forks in the road, and you can't get in and out without a guide." The general is arranging the search for a guide. ”
"I see." Nishikanjiro sighed and didn't ask again.
Soon after, Saigo, who had finished the military meeting, walked out of the hut from Michi, followed by army generals such as Gu Gancheng and several Americans such as Lee Sende Jackman.
The figure of Mizuno appeared at the door, and next to him was the military reporter Kishida Ginka. Behind the two of them, there was a student.
This Shengban is not the same as the Shengban that Nishikuanjiro saw before, he is also wearing a white cloth coat, barefoot, and an open placket, but he wears a white turban, and the tattoos on his face are different from the ones that Nishikuan Jiro saw just now, and he is also carrying a rifle in his hand, but it is not the style used by those Shengban just now, but an American rifle.
"Mizuno-kun has found a guide!" Kunita Hikochi said happily.
Just as Kunitabu Hikochi said, Mizuno found a guide, this guide is also a local student, but he is a member of the Lion's Head Society who was originally hostile to the Peony Society, and he has accepted money and goods from the Japanese before, and worked for the Japanese, but he was hidden deep and was not discovered by the Peony Society.
Nishikanjiro saw Saigo Congdao come to Mizuno and the guide, Mizuno Mizuno gave an introduction to the two, and bowed to the guide Saigo Congdao, Saigo Congdao nodded, comforted the guide, and then ordered the troops to set off.
"You're going to be sent to the infirmary on the beach, Nishikuan-kun!" Kunitabu Hikochi got up and said goodbye to Nishikanjiro, "Take care of your injuries!" We'll take care of the rest! ”
"Are we going to give up occupying this village?" Nishikanjiro asked a little strangely.
"It's easy to attack after dark, and you know our enemies are very good at night fighting." "On the beach, we can have naval fire as protection, but here, if we are attacked by the enemy, it is very difficult to get support. The general said that the wounded must be moved to the safest place. ”
"What about the fallen soldiers?" Thinking of the many subordinates who had died, Nishikanjiro sighed and asked.
"The dead may have to be cremated here." Kunita Hikochi also sighed and said.
"Cremated here?" Nishikanjiro couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Kunita Hikoshichi's answer.
Kunitabu Hikochi didn't say anything more, but said goodbye to him and left. After a while, two soldiers carried the stretcher where Nishikanjiro was and joined the stretcher team that was transferring the wounded.
When the stretcher team was escorted to the beach by a group of soldiers, Nishikanjiro saw the Japanese soldiers holding torches and began to set fire from house to house, and in a short time, the whole village was on fire.
"Let's go!" Saigo, who was riding on a horse, looked at the raging firelight, sneered, and ordered loudly.
"Here they are."
Alugu took an old-fashioned brass telescope from his son Erlan (one of the gifts that Lin Yizhe gave to the various leaders of the Fanmin) and looked at it carefully.
