c_t; Zhang Zuoxiang on the side said worriedly: "Division commander, if we retreat now, the first division is only more than 30 miles away from us now, and they can catch up with us before we arrive in Taipei, with their marching speed, they can catch up with us before we arrive in Taipei, this is just Jiang Baili's trick, he wants to take us out of Hsinchu and pursue us all the way, in this case, I am afraid that it is not a good thing for us......"

Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and said: "Big brother, the possibility of this problem is not low, but do we have any other way, before our reinforcements arrive in Taiwan, we can delay one more day is one day, but in Hsinchu, it will definitely not be able to hold, only Taipei is our real safe place, and even if the first division wants to pursue us, will it definitely be able to pursue it?" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang asked: "Teacher, do you have other preparations?" ”

Zhang Zuolin sneered: "Don't forget, there are still thousands of mines in our army, let's retreat all the way, leaving the engineer battalion to lay a minefield behind!" They want to pass through our minefield, how easy is it, as long as these mines can delay them for more than half a day, we can arrive in Taipei safely, and when the time comes, we will hold on for half a month, and there will be no problem! ”

Ji Jincun said in a deep voice: "Division commander, I'm afraid, the first division left an ambush in front, in that case, if we can't break through the ambush defense in a short time, I'm afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to us."

Tang Yulin replied on the side: "It's okay, Lao Ji, we have sent two groups of cavalry scouts in a row to conduct detailed reconnaissance, and there are no more than 15,000 people stationed in the south of the city, which is almost the entire strength of the first division, you must know that the first division only has a total of 18,000 people, and their casualties are not small in successive battles. Even if there were, hundreds of people wouldn't be able to stop us at all! ”

Zhang Zuolin said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't say more, immediately assemble the army, go out of the city in an hour and a half, and march towards Taipei with all our might, we will arrive in Taipei in the shortest possible time;!" ”

Shortly after Zhang Zuolin led more than 10,000 Taiwanese troops to leave Hsinchu, Jiang Baili, who got the news from the south of the city, gave an order, and the army chased down from behind. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow] (Just Love)

Just past Hsinchu City, the revolutionary army soldiers in front of him were shocked and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on in front?" ”

The soldiers in front urged their horses to run over, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, a minefield has been found in the front, it should have been laid when the Taiwan army left, the number is unknown, and dozens of brothers were killed or injured by the explosion!" ”

Jiang Baili was anxious in his heart, mines, if a large number of mines were laid in front, I am afraid that the army would have to make a detour, which would delay a lot of time.

Jiang Baili was about to drive to the front to inspect, Guo Ye rushed over from the front and said loudly: "Division commander, the mine area in front is at least tens of meters, and we won't be able to clear this mine in a short time!" ”

Jiang Baili Chen shouted: "Then give me a detour, pursue with all my might, and go around this minefield!" ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, I'm afraid that there will be other mines in other areas ahead, even if we bypass this area, it will be difficult for us to pursue them smoothly!" ”

Jiang Baili turned around and pulled the map over, pointed to another big road, and said: "This road, this road is the direction of the second brigade's march, let's march along this road, as long as the second brigade intercepts the Taiwan army, they can't fly back if they want to, give an order, the whole army marches at full speed, chase me!" ”

More than 10,000 men of the First Division began to pursue the Taiwan Army along the road on the east side.

However, at this time, Zhang Zuolin had already left Hsinchu for nearly 50 miles, and it was undoubtedly impossible to catch up before they arrived in Taipei, after all, it was only more than 100 miles from Hsinchu to Taipei.

Fortunately, the Second Brigade had already rushed over before Zhang Zuolin set off, and the Second Brigade set off six or seven hours earlier than them, and six or seven hours was enough time for the Second Brigade to run a hundred miles.

Before dusk, the Second Brigade had already arrived at Lingque Mountain, which was less than 40 miles away from Taipei, saying that it was a mountain, but in fact it was just a huge hill, and it was all hilly here, and it was undoubtedly very difficult to set up an ambush, but if it was blocked, it would undoubtedly be condescending, and with the advantage of firepower, the officers and men of the Second Brigade still had full confidence.

After the commander of the Second Brigade, Xin Dapeng, arrived, he immediately ordered the construction of fortifications, the arrangement of minefields, the heavy artillery was all pulled up the mountainside, and a heavy machine gun was quickly erected.

This is the closest route for Zhang Zuolin's Taiwan army to Taipei, and it is the only way for them to pass.

Until dawn, the tired Taiwanese army rushed all the way to Lingque Mountain, at this time the sky has not yet brightened, Zhang Zuolin, who was anxious to march, ordered the soldiers to continue to hurry, now it is less than forty miles from Taipei, after Lingque Mountain, there are three hours to reach Taipei City, whether it is life or death, it is in these three hours!

As soon as he entered the vicinity of Lingque Mountain, the sound of explosions in front of him came, Zhang Zuolin was shocked, where did the explosion sound come from?

Before Zhang Zuolin could order someone to inspect it, Ji Jincun in front had already run over: "Division commander, a minefield has been found in front, and dozens of our brothers have been killed!" ”

Zhang Zuolin shouted: "What's the matter? How can there be a minefield here? ”

Before Ji Jincun could reply, the heavy artillery of the second brigade on Lingque Mountain rang out, and a brigade and two artillery battalions launched a fierce artillery bombardment against the Taiwan army.

Hundreds of artillery shells, towards the Taiwan army under the mountain desperately hit, at this time the Taiwan army has already been exhausted to the extreme, the vigilance has also been reduced to the minimum, a ** shell fell in the ranks, causing great casualties to the Taiwan army, in the Taiwan army, countless casualties, mourning all over the field!

Not only the shells, but also the heavy machine guns on the mountainside began to spit out tongues of fire, and the bullets rained down, completely covering the area near Lingque Mountain! The Taiwanese army simply has no escape!

Zhang Zuolin yelled: "What's the matter? How could there be a Chinese Revolutionary Army here? , what the hell is going on? ”

Tang Yulin on the side was also shocked and shouted: "Impossible, impossible!" The forces of the 1st Division were all gathered in the south of the city at that time, and it was impossible to send such a powerful artillery team to intercept us! ”

Zhang Zuolin kicked Tang Yulin to the side, and said angrily: "Bastard, didn't you say that there are fourteen or five thousand troops gathered in the south of Hsinchu City, if there are so many troops, is the revolutionary army here flying over?" Listening to the voice, there are at least 4,000 people, ******, you sent Lao Tzu's more than 10,000 people to the fire pit! ”
