Volume 1 Tigers in Southeast Asia Chapter 38 Killing the Guanghua Pig
Lin Fei's men had made all preparations. At this moment, Chief Karacatu led more than 3,000 Filipinos, armed with machetes, spears, and strong bows, and marched towards the position arranged by Lin Fei.
The envoy who had been humiliated by Lin Fei that day was still chattering to the Karakatu chief about Lin Fei's provocation. The Karakatu chief was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot, his teeth were chattering, and he held the long-handled axe in his hand tightly, as if the axe was Lin Fei and he could crush Lin Fei to pieces.
The breastwork that Lin Fei's men had built with the soil from the trenches was very conspicuous. Chief Karakatu saw it from a distance. He waved his hand and said, "Stop!"
The Filipinos all stood still, and Chief Karakatu had never seen a breastwork, so he pointed to it and said, "Go over there and see what that is?"
A Filipino ran to the breastwork, looked from a distance, and then came back to report: "Chief, that is an earthen wall, and there seems to be someone behind it."
Chief Karakatu asked, "Who's behind?"
The Philippine spy shook his head and replied, "It was too far away, and I couldn't see it clearly."
Chief Karakatu cursed fiercely: "You useless bastard, come back and take a closer look!"
The Philippine spy admitted his mistake repeatedly and ran towards Lin Fei's position again. This time he ran very close. The captain of the first company, Niu Dalong, asked Lin Fei: "Captain Lin, should we fight him?"
Lin Fei thought for a moment and said, "The Filipinos have never seen a gun. They might be scared away when the gun goes off. Let's not shoot them first."
Niu Dalong then whispered, "Brothers, don't shoot!"
At this time, the Filipino spies had come to a few dozen meters in front of the trench. Lin Fei shouted loudly in Filipino : "Don't go forward!"
The Philippine spy stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Fei laughed loudly and said, "We are from Yanhuang City! The ones you want to fight!"
The Filipino spy ran away upon hearing this and reported back to Chief Karakatu: "They are from Yanhuang City!"
Karakatu was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Archers, shoot them to death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of archers came out in unison. One of them drew his bow and shot an arrow into the sky. The arrow drew an arc in the air and landed on the ground two hundred meters in front of Lin Fei's position.
The archer was using an arrow to measure the distance. Karakatu saw that the arrow could not reach Lin Fei, so he swung his axe and shouted, "Forward!"
The archers walked towards the position in unison. Lin Fei used the crosshairs of the LBQ-1 rifle to calculate the distance to the Filipinos. It was 600 meters. Lin Fei thought, "It's impossible to aim accurately at 600 meters, but the Filipinos are so dense that I can kill them without precise aiming."
Lin Fei shouted, "Shoot!" Then he pulled the trigger and fired three shots in a row!
Firing three shots in a row was the signal to launch an attack. The three companies opened fire immediately, and bullets flew towards the Filipinos like raindrops. The Filipino formation was too dense, so despite the long distance, a large number of them were still knocked down, especially the third company on a high ground. Their bullets were more powerful when .
Chief Karakatu was so surprised when he saw the scene that his eyes almost popped out. He thought to himself that the weapons in the hands of the people in Yanhuang City could actually shoot so far, and were much stronger than the bows and arrows under his own men. What on earth were they using?
Just as Chief Karacatu was surprised, he heard a loud "boom" above his head, and then a cloud of air exploded in the team. A group of Filipinos fell to the ground, each with missing arms and legs. Some of the shrapnel produced a cavity effect in the Filipinos' bodies, directly tearing a big hole in the body, and blood and internal organs gushed out. Even the Filipinos who killed people like crazy on a daily basis felt their scalps tingling when seeing this.
The artillery platoon joined the battle and dealt a heavy blow to the Filipinos. The lethality of explosives was far greater than that of bullets. The Filipinos could not bear it after several explosive packs exploded in the crowd. Fear began to spread among the crowd, and everyone retreated involuntarily.
Karakatu also knew that he could not move forward, so he swung his axe backwards and shouted : "Retreat, retreat!" Then he ran backwards. As he ran, one person spread the word to ten people, and ten people spread the word to a hundred people. Everyone followed him and ran backwards until they ran into a woods and stopped when they saw that there were no bullets chasing them.
Chief Karakatu asked his men to count the number of people. He was shocked when he found that in less than ten minutes, more than 600 of his men had died on the spot!
Chief Karakatu was completely confused, thinking to himself: "Where did the people from Yanhuang City come from? Why are they so powerful?"
At this time, the messenger walked up to the leader of the Karakatu tribe and whispered, "Chief, the Huazhu people have a saying, 'Play to your strengths and overcome the enemy's weaknesses.' Our strength is the strong bow, so how can we not use it?"
Chief Karakatu frowned and said, "I want to use it too, but you saw it just now. Before we could pull them into the range of the bows and arrows, they used the mysterious weapons to kill us."
The messenger smiled and said, "I have an idea."
Chief Karakatu asked hurriedly: "What's the idea? Tell me quickly!"
The messenger said: "The weapon used by the people of Yanhuang City is called a 'gun'. I have heard of this thing before. This thing has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the firing speed is very slow, so we have plenty of time to approach them. Why don't we use the fastest speed to pull them into our range and then kill them with arrows?"
Chief Karakatu's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea. Come on!" Chief Karakatu called the archers together again and told them the envoy's method. Everyone nodded in agreement. Chief Karakatu swung the axe in his hand and shouted, "Let's go and kill the Guanghua pigs!"
The archers rushed out of the woods with strange cries and rushed towards the position of Lin Fei's subordinates. This time they no longer formed the previous dense formation. This time the formation was quite loose, and everyone was running fast.
Lin Fei saw the change in the Filipinos' formation at a glance, and laughed in his heart: "Do the Filipinos want to rush through our defense line with their flesh and blood? We are equipped with automatic rifles, which have a built-in 30-round magazine and the fastest firing rate in the world. Do you think you can rush over?"
Lin Fei then said, "Pass on my order. Everyone, wait until the enemy gets closer before shooting."
The Filipinos quickly approached to within 400 meters of Lin Fei's position. They took out their compound bows, put arrows on them, and shot at the position of Lin Fei's subordinates. The arrows flew like raindrops. At this time, the trench designed by Lin Fei came in handy. The angle of the arrows could not penetrate the trench at all, and they all fell in front and behind the trench.
Lin Fei waited until the Filipinos approached about 200 meters before he gave the order to open fire. 200 meters is a common firing distance for infantry, because a human body 200 meters away is just a small dot in the eyes, and it is not easy to hit it.
Automatic rifles fired bullets, forming a huge death net in front of the Filipinos. As long as the Filipinos hit this net, they would be knocked to the ground by the bullets and die.
The Filipinos also shot arrows at the heights on both wings, but the height of the heights was far beyond the shooting height of the Filipino bows and arrows. The arrows only flew halfway before falling down, while the bullets on the heights could kill the Filipinos at will. After a while, the first batch of more than 200 Filipino archers were all dead on the ground.
Chief Karakatu was furious and roared: "Can't we defeat a group of Hua pigs? Where are the bows? Give them to me, I will do it myself!"
The messenger hurriedly grabbed the Karakatu tribe leader and advised: "Chief, don't do this. The Huazhu people's spears are very powerful. If you rush forward like this, you will definitely suffer!"
Chief Karakatu frowned and said angrily: "What should we do? Should we let the Chinese pigs go?"
The messenger pointed to the high ground and said with a smile: "Look at the high ground on both sides. If we can occupy the high ground and shoot arrows from above, wouldn't it be easy to kill the Guanghua pig?"
Chief Karakatu said angrily: "Asshole, do you think I haven't thought of this method? Don't you see how steep the slope is on our side? Can our people climb up?"
The messenger smiled and said, "Although the slope is steep, there are many warriors in our tribe who are good at climbing. It is easy to climb up this high slope. Why don't we wait until dark and send out hundreds of warriors with sharp blades to climb up. We will definitely be able to occupy the high ground in one fell swoop."
Chief Karakatu's eyes lit up and he said "yes" three times. He called his subordinates and told them the envoy's idea, and everyone started to prepare.
It soon became dark. More than a hundred Filipinos, with daggers on their waists and ropes on their shoulders, quietly emerged from the woods, slowly approached the hillside, and began to climb up by grabbing rocks. These Filipinos were all agile and soon climbed to the halfway point of the mountain. But at this moment, a fire suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain.
The chief of the Karacatu tribe, the messenger, and the Filipinos who were climbing up the cliff were all terrified, thinking, have we been discovered? At this moment, gunshots rang out on the top of the mountain, and bullets flew one after another towards the Filipinos clinging to the cliff. People on the cliff were restricted in their movements, so how could they avoid the bullets? So the Filipinos were shot down one after another, and their bodies were smashed into piles of rotten meat.
Taking advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack by climbing is a common tactic for attacking high ground. How could Lin Fei not know that the Filipinos actually wanted to use this method to attack Lin Fei's subordinates. It was really like showing off a big axe in front of Lu Ban's gate and waving a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate.
Seeing that the attack had failed again, Chief Karakatu was dejected and the messenger was at a loss. It was already late at night, so Chief Karakatu asked everyone to rest and fight again tomorrow.
The Filipinos were scattered in the woods and camping. Chief Karakatu fell asleep thinking about the beautiful and fragrant body of the Chinese girl. But at this moment, he suddenly felt someone flipping him over. Chief Karakatu cursed, "Who is that bastard?"
A voice sounded: "My name is Lin Fei, I have something to discuss with you."
