Chapter 148: Pingpu Fight (1)
"This battle in Pingpu must be a battle in which our brigade shows off its power!"
The Ninth Master was well versed in military tactics and was very important to know morale in the army. He also witnessed the incident of the Chongsun's military administration, so he encouraged the officers and soldiers several times during the march.
The old man was full of energy and his voice was loud. Everyone was excited when he heard the officers and soldiers. If he thought that the enemy was just a native of Taiwan, destroying them was like killing chickens and having great military achievements, so all the troops accelerated their march and wanted to make some achievements in the subsequent battles.
"At this speed, you can reach Jinpingpufan before dawn!"
The spiritual leader of the officers and soldiers made the Ninth Grandpa very happy. He knocked the big puddle specially sent by his nephew and great-grandson on the tree. The combat staff next to him were very clever. Seeing this, he quickly packed tobacco leaves for the brigade commander and lit it.
After taking a few "ba-da" sips, the ninth Grandpa was more energetic. He actually didn't like the choking tobacco leaves, but his great-grandson specially gave him a cigarette pipe, and if he didn't smoke, he wasted his great-grandson's intention.
"Please rest assured. According to the information, Pingpu people are born. Their weapons are very poor, most of them are bamboo guns and bamboo arrows. The leader Aganon is also a reckless man who looks at the sky in a well, and there is no need to worry about it."
The person who spoke was Matsumoto Okamaki, the captain of the Second Infantry Battalion. He and Yukiji Yamamoto, who had been promoted to the captain of the Fourth Infantry Battalion, were from his hometown, but he was ten years older than Yuki Yamamoto, and he was 49 years old this year.
Since joining the Imperial Army, what Matsumoto Okazu has never forgotten is returning to his hometown Kaga, but he knew very well that if he returned to his hometown as a prisoner, it would be better to stay in the Ming Dynasty as a hard laborer.
Therefore, he must seize the opportunity now and work hard to kill the enemy and become an outstanding general of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, so that he can return to his hometown with dignity and revenge the reactionary groups that forced them, such as the poor, to leave their hometowns and fight in a foreign country.
Matsumoto Okazu was very optimistic about the elimination of the Heibofan and also supported the combat plan of the brigade commander. He believed that the combat plan formulated by the Chief of Staff was too conservative and did not conform to the usual brave style of the Imperial Army in combat.
Captain Matsumoto's opinion really came to the heart of Master Ninth. He smiled and nodded to show his appreciation. He was about to say a few more words, but his stomach became "gurgled". In the blink of an eye, Master Ninth's forehead actually oozed sweat.
Baga!
The Ninth Master cursed inwardly, not sure if it was because of the unacceptable environment or some reason, but he actually got upset at this critical moment.
"Your Mightiness!"
"Sixth uncle!"
Captain Matsumoto and Wei Dayuan, who was the combat staff, shouted in a low voice at the same time.
"Um!..."
The ninth master's face turned red and his legs were tightly closed. He signaled Matsumoto and Dayuan not to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers who were marching. Then he panickedly pulled out a stack of toilet paper specially provided by the Baochaosi to the Imperial Army from Dayuan's backpack. He looked around and found that he could not see his fingers in the wilderness. Where could he find a toilet?
"Go there, Your Excellency!"
Captain Matsumoto realized that there was an emergency problem with the brigade commander, so he stepped forward and helped the brigade commander not far away.
"Your Excellency, follow the power of things urgently. Don't have any hurdles, just be here!"
Captain Matsumoto looked loyal and concerned.
"Um..."
The Ninth Master said nothing about anything else now. He unbuttoned his belt and squatted down, then heard a dull sound, and then a long sound.
Before he had time to avoid him, Matsumoto felt a stream of gas spraying on the surface, making his pores look like a picture: This is really a noble smell!
"call!"
The Ninth Master, who was relieved, raised his pants easily and looked around. It seemed like a sugar cane forest. Looking back at Matsumoto, he stood silently on the side, and couldn't help but be moved.
I wanted to say a few words, but I felt that the occasion was not right, so I kept saying that Matsumoto is a good person, really good.
As soon as the Ninth Master returned to the roadside, Dayuan came up: "Sixth Master, the First Squadron reported urgently that they had arrived in Jinpingpufan and asked whether to attack!"
"oh?!"
When he heard that the enemy had been discovered, the Ninth Master immediately became excited again. He pointed his puddle forward and ordered Lu Jianrong, the chief of staff of the brigade who was operating with the First Battalion, to immediately deploy combat preparations and launch an attack when the old man arrived.
.........
When Captain Kumamoto received the order from his superiors, he had led the first squadron to lurk in a place less than four miles southwest of Pingpu Ren Village.
The villages in Pingpu people here are all plain terrain, with mountains and forests only a dozen miles southeast. According to pre-war information, the Pingpu people did not farm like Han people, but made a living by hunting and headhunting.
Hunting naturally hunts animals as a source of food. Headhunting is an almost barbaric act. Pingpu people occasionally invade the surrounding Han people and "cooked people" from time to time, and kidnap them while robbing them, and then demand ransom and food. After the request cannot be met, they will cut off the hostage's head and stand them in an open area, giving the surrounding Han people a psychological terror effect.
Pingpu people did not settle in the same place. Their villages usually change to another place in three to five months, but generally they will not leave the area of Taipei's abdomen. In a form, the Pingpu people are very similar to the nomadic peoples in the northern Ming Dynasty, except that one has a horse and the other has no horse.
This time, the villages of Pingpu people were able to discover so quickly were also due to the oppression of the "familiar" people in Pingpu people, that is, the new Han people who had just become members of the Ming Dynasty.
Without the assistance and guidance of the Xinsanxiang and Xinsixiang Public Security Teams, it would be impossible for the First Brigade to discover Pingpu people in areas where they are unfamiliar with their lives and the overall environment is almost primitive.
As the commander of the brigade, the Ninth Master has a Qianlijing. In the Qianlijing, the villages of Pingpu people are quite large, and it is very difficult to encircle them. However, it may be because they are the "overlord" of this area on weekdays. In addition to the continuous migration, the villages of Pingpu people are very simple to build, and they cannot even be called any defensive measures.
Chief of Staff Lu Jianrong also discovered the fatal weakness of the Pingpu people and quickly formulated a frontal attack plan with the First Infantry Battalion as the main body and the Second Infantry Battalion following closely behind.
The Ninth Master approved the combat plan. After receiving the order, Xu Xing of the First Infantry Brigade received the order, he quickly summoned the squadron leader to convey the combat order.
At about the hour of Mao, the battle began.
The first infantry squadron, which inherited the spirit of "Wind Forest Volcano", jumped up from the hiding place under the leadership of the squadron leader Kumamoto, and stabbed the people of Pingpu like a sharp knife.
The sound of guns and the shouts of killing quickly woke the Pingpu people in the village from their dreams. The leader Aganon took a long knife stolen from his wife and rushed out of the house while dressing.
