This is the first time that these people in the special operations unit have encountered such a pre-war prayer ceremony. Whether it was the Ming Dynasty, Annam, Champang, Portugal, the Dutch, or even the Eighteen Zhi pirates, no one in the past had ever had the leisure to play such a trick when they were in battle. However, these pretending to be ghosts will not bring any mental pressure to the Haihan soldiers, after victory after victory, the soldiers firmly believe that the weapons in their hands and the comrades around them are the most reliable things on the battlefield, and the victory of the Haihan militia has never relied on tricks such as jumping gods.

After a long wait, the natives finally ended their mystical ritual and began to slowly assemble at the edge of the forest. At this time, Qian Tiandun held the telescope and observed the opponent's movements on the lookout platform built in the middle of the camp.

Due to the limited conditions, it is unlikely that the militia troops going deep into the interior will be able to erect strong fortifications, and the current defense measures on the perimeter of the camp are mainly composed of various horses and deer barbs made of wood and bamboo, and there is a barbed wire fence on the periphery of the snake. In order to ensure a relatively wide field of sight, the perimeter of the camp in the west and south directions was cleared, and there were basically no obvious obstacles within 100 paces. The east and north directions are backed by the two water veins of Turbidity Creek and Qingshui Creek, so there is no need to worry too much about the opponent attacking from the water.

Qian Tiandun could clearly see the weapons equipped by the opposing soldiers from the telescope, although many people carried bows and arrows on their backs, but they were very simple in appearance, far from being comparable with the standard bows and arrows equipped by the regular army in this era. This kind of bamboo bow and arrow may be able to make do with shooting rabbits, birds, hunting sambar deer or something, but when it comes to using this thing on the battlefield, its range and power are very worrying. Although the rifles used by the special operations forces have a shorter range than the standard models, they are certainly far above this kind of earthen bow and arrow, and if the natives want to use this weapon to achieve a long-range attack on the Haihan camp, then they are afraid that they will soon be disappointed after the war.

After the natives assembled, they slowly walked out of the mountains and forests in the form of a long snake formation, with warriors armed with melee weapons such as bamboo spears, machetes, and hunting forks in the front row, and archers with bows and arrows in the back row. Qian Tiandun made a rough estimate that the other party had invested about 200 people in this wave of offensive, and it seemed that when they held a mysterious ceremony just now, someone rushed to ●dǐng●diǎn●小●said,.≥.¢os_(); Arrived and joined in. However, if the Turen wanted to use this diǎn force to break through the defense line of the Haihan camp, it was obviously far from enough.

When the other side marched to a distance of about 300 meters, Takahashi Minami asked the soldiers around him to shoot symbolically with warning. However, perhaps due to the blessing of the mysterious ritual just now, the natives obviously did not stop their progress after being warned, but gradually increased the speed of their march, apparently hoping to attack the defense line of the Haihan camp with a rapid impact.

"Raise your gun!" Takahashi Minami ordered, and the soldiers who had already lined up on the defensive line immediately raised their rifles that had already been loaded. The soldiers in the first row raised their guns flat, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the natives who were trotting forward in the distance.

With the sharp whistle, the soldiers pulled the trigger in unison, and the discharged projectiles pierced the air with a hot temperature, knocking down several natives who rushed to the front a hundred meters away. One of the unlucky ghosts didn't even have time to scream before the bullet lifted off half of the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

The soldiers who had finished shooting did not stop to see if they had hit the target, and immediately put away their guns and retreated to the back, while the soldiers in the second row stepped forward, raised their guns, aimed, and pulled the trigger at the commander's whistle. Takahashi Minami arranged two platoons of troops to shoot on the defensive line, and when all the participants had completed the first round of shooting, the natives had already given up the charge and turned to flee back.

The archers in the distance had already stopped when they saw that the situation was not good, and after the bows and arrows they shot fell crookedly from the air, they were all stuck on the ground outside the defensive line, and the nearest landing diǎn of the Haihan soldiers was at least ten meters away, and they did not pose any actual threat at all.

"That's all?" Takahashi Nan looked at the natives who were running back with their feet scattered, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Scum!"

Naturally, the offensive of the natives with eggs and stones could not create real trouble for the Haihan militia, which was waiting with live ammunition and serious ammunition, and the huge gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides made the indigenous tribe side not even have a glimmer of hope for victory, and it was already completely defeated and retreated under the suppression of Haihan's long-range firepower. And the battle was so short that the excitement of the recruits who watched the battle was over before they had time to calm down.

"This ...... Is this the end of the fight?" Sun Zhen and his comrades-in-arms heard the start of the battle and entered the reserve position, just in time to see the veterans making their last shot. From the time he heard the first gunshot to the end of the battle, Sun Zhen counted very clearly, the participating troops on Haihan's side had only fired five salvos in total, and the menacing opponent had already retreated.

As a veteran, Wu Qin was very calm about this: "Even if these mountain monkeys run fast! If they dare to continue to rush forward with their heads stuffed, they all have to die here!"

Although the firing surface of the platoon was not too large, the frequency of the fire was enough that the opponent could not charge in front of the defensive line, and at least thirty to forty percent of the natives fell in five rounds of fire, and the opponent obviously chose to retreat decisively because he could not bear such heavy casualties, or it would be more accurate to escape. If it weren't for the fact that the Turen had too few troops and the distance between them was loose enough, the casualties caused by the five rounds of shooting just now would have been even greater. They would have to endure at least two rounds of fire if they were to rush to the front line, and their hit rate would be greatly improved as the distance was shortened, and these two rounds of gunfire at close range would be enough to cost them a lot of money. In addition, there is a combination of barbed wire and barricades on the outskirts of the camp that does not look so conspicuous but has a very large deterrent effect, which is enough to keep the native warriors out of the line and withstand two more rounds of fire, and this distance is basically similar to shooting directly at the head of the muzzle, and not continuing to rush forward is indeed the most correct choice for those survivors.

"This ...... It's too easy!"

The thoughts that swirled through the recruits' minds were almost identical, and they were all worried about the safety of themselves and the army before the battle, after all, this was a completely unfamiliar environment for the Haihan militia, and the enemies they were about to face were also strange people who had never dealt with before. Moreover, Fengrong Village, which I passed through earlier, has been oppressed by the natives for a long time, so it must be that the natives are not so easy to deal with. But none of the recruits could have imagined that the natives, who had spent a lot of time on rituals before the battle, would be completely defeated in the first round of the battle. While defeating the enemy was something to celebrate, the process of victory was so easy that the recruits always felt inexplicably disappointed.

There were no imaginary hand-to-hand combat, no grappling, no comrades lying in pools of blood, and they didn't even remember to see the faces of any of the enemy, and the battle was already over. Thinking that they were nervous about such a thing just now, the recruits felt a little ashamed. Sun Zhen also seems to have understood why officers at all levels like to claim that their unit is "invincible" when preaching, and judging from the situation of the battle just now, I am afraid that it is indeed difficult for any force to compete with the Haihan militia when the forces are equal.

After all the enemies fled into the mountains and forests, Haihan's side waited for a while, and after making sure that the other party had no intention of launching a second wave of offensive for the time being, he sent people out of the camp to begin to clear the results of the killing and wounding just now. The so-called three hours of charging and five minutes of talking could not be more apt to describe this short battle.

The five rounds of fire just now killed nine natives on the spot, and more than 30 wounded who failed to escape the battlefield, most of them seriously, and Haihan did not intend to spend limited resources to rescue these captives. Although some of the wounded managed to escape the battlefield, some of them probably eventually died from various complications caused by trauma, given the medical environment in which the indigenous tribes still relied on witch doctors.

After clearing the battlefield, the soldiers brought back only a few wounded prisoners in good health for interrogation, while the others were left to fend for themselves. However, this kind of interrogation is actually of little significance, even if the situation of the other tribe is clarified, it is unlikely that Haihan will send troops to conquer in the short term.

Qian Tiandun did not express any joy when he heard the statistics of the battle results, and this was just an armed conflict that could not be smaller and more ordinary than ordinary for the special operations forces. Of course, perhaps a few years later, in the historical materials recorded by later generations, this battle will be listed as "the first battle of the Haihan to conquer the island of Taiwan", giving it more historical value. But for now, Qian Tiandun will only think about how to clean up the beginning and end of this matter, and be able to give a reasonable explanation to the executive committee.

After face-to-face encounters with indigenous tribes, the goals of the Haihan militia have basically been achieved. Due to the limited amount of supplies carried by the Haihan militia, it is not practical to continue to stay here, and it is time to consider withdrawing from this sensitive area. However, this confrontation took more than half a day from the beginning to the end, and it was not appropriate to evacuate in the direction of the coast at this time, and he had to stop and camp again after walking far, so Qian Tiandun decided to stay here for another night.

Qian Tiandun would not be carried away by the victory just now, and still carefully deployed the sentry post to prevent the indigenous tribes from launching a sneak attack at night. And the recruits were finally assigned regular tasks other than carrying water and chopping wood, and could be on duty at the sentry post for the night - of course, this must be under the premise of being equipped with veterans.

Sun Zhen was in charge of the second half of the night, and after dinner, he was driven into the tent and hurried to sleep. He was woken up at midnight and then went to the defensive post to change his shift. The post he was in charge of was located on the bank of the Muddy Water Creek, and there was a fire in the open space about twenty meters outside the defense line to prevent anyone from touching the sentry.

The post was not illuminated, it was a pit covered by a bush, and one could see the scene outside, but it was difficult to see that there was an ambush on the other side. Sun Zhen checked his rifle and the brass whistle around his neck before cautiously entering the sentry post.

The veteran who partnered with Sun Zhen was also of Annan descent, but his Mandarin was far less good than Wu Qin's, with a strong Liangguang vernacular accent, Sun Zhen, a northerner, basically couldn't understand what he was saying, so the two fell into silence after a brief greeting.

It was soon morning, and there was nothing wrong with it that night, except for a deer that had broken through the line by mistake, and it seemed that the indigenous tribe had indeed been badly wounded by yesterday's battle, and had no intention of continuing the fight.

However, the natives did not completely leave their compatriots behind, and the patrol team that went out of the camp early in the morning found that the corpses and wounded who had been outside the camp yesterday had disappeared today, and most of them had been quietly transferred by the natives in the middle of the night.

After breakfast, everyone packed up and evacuated the makeshift camp. Prior to this, Qian Tiandun used a telescope to find that there were still sporadic natives in the mountains and forests in the distance, but he did not show up to block the actions of the militia army during the evacuation. The only thing that I still feel unfulfilled is probably Minami Takahashi, who takes fighting as the greatest pleasure in his life, and yesterday's battle ended before it even failed to reach Cheng Dù, which made him excited. If he commanded this force, even if he didn't go into the mountains to attack the natives' lair, he would at least stay in the temporary camp for another two or three days to see if there was a chance to do it again.

Most of the recruits are glad to be able to leave here safely. Only a very small number of people like Sun Zhen would think about how they could ensure that they could survive safely on the territory of the natives if the next wilderness survival training was really carried out in this environment.

While passing through the village of Fengrong, the two guides were paid before leaving. Qian Tiandun told them very sternly not to spread the experience of the past few days in the village, because the natives in the mountains would come out sooner or later, and if they learned that the people of Fengrong Village participated in yesterday's battle, it was very likely that the account would be directly counted on the head of Fengrong Village. As for the guide who participated in the negotiations between the Haihan and the Turen for the silver, Qian Tiandun Jian yì left Fengrong Village temporarily, either to follow his troops to Penghu, or to take refuge in the Bengang area in the south for a while.

They came back and forth and left in just two days before returning to their camp by the sea.
