() On that day, most of the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion of the Third Regiment of the Mountain Brigade, who were responsible for guarding road construction workers, entered the Mountain Brigade garrison point on the edge of Valencia. This garrison point is the deepest inland among the 11 garrison points.
In the past, due to difficult roads, from here to Davao City
It takes an armored vehicle 7 hours to travel a hundred kilometers and a motorcycle to take 5 hours. Now that the road has been built, once the cement pavement is laid, the time from here to Davao City will be shortened to 3 hours. If the motorcycle drives
If it's faster, 2 hours is not impossible.
Since there had been no attack by the guerrillas for many days, and there was no information about attacks not only on the central route, but also on the west route and the east route. The officers and soldiers of the first battalion and the officers and soldiers of the mountain brigade stationed in the camp relaxed their vigilance.
, not only did they fail to obey the brigade headquarters’ orders and place prisoners and prisoners under guard outside the barbed wire fence, they also sent people to the nearby city of Valencia without authorization to purchase meat, vegetables, fruits and other items, and the locals delivered them to the station.
That night, the first battalion and the station company started a celebration dinner. Except for a few soldiers on duty and officers and soldiers on patrol armored vehicles, most of the remaining more than 400 mountain brigade soldiers developed symptoms of food poisoning in the middle of the night and began to vomit.
Diarrhea. At this moment, groups of people began to appear around the station.
Taking advantage of the night, these figures slowly approached the barbed wire fence of the station, and then dived under the grass outside the range of the searchlight. Soon, they emerged from the ground inside the barbed wire fence. It was obvious that someone had been there beforehand.
Tunnels were dug under the barbed wire fence, and these tunnels happened to pass through two barbed wire fences and directly enter the interior of the station.
Since most of the people were suffering from diarrhea, there was a serious shortage of sentries in the camp. These infiltrators first got into the resting area of the prisoners, released some of the prisoners, and then planned to sneak into a row of barracks. However, due to bad luck, they ran into
He caught two soldiers who were changing guard. With the sound of gunshots, the iron
Hundreds of people rushed out of the grass outside the wire mesh in an instant. They frantically held various wooden boards and wooden stakes and charged towards the barbed wire fence. At this time, the four towers had been occupied by guerrillas who had sneaked in.
The remaining two towers are also in contention, and there is no time to sweep the crowd below.
The guerrillas who charged towards the barbed wire fence used wooden planks and other objects in their hands to cover the barbed wire fence, then stepped on the first barbed wire fence, then took the wooden planks handed by the people behind, and also passed the second barbed wire fence. Soon,
The two barbed wire fences were trampled by wooden planks and crowds to create several passages. Later, large troops came running along these passages towards the mountain brigade station.
In the mountain brigade station, because most of the officers and soldiers were poisoned and lost their combat effectiveness, and the few remaining healthy soldiers did not have officers to command them in time, the equipment and quality advantages of the regular army were not used to fight against the troops rushing in from the tunnels.
The few guerrillas did not take advantage. The rows of barracks near the tunnel were occupied by the guerrillas. The remaining officers and soldiers of the mountain brigade were gradually compressed into the two rows of barracks at the far end.
Various screams soon came from the occupied barracks, and fires broke out from time to time. It was obvious that the guerrillas were massacring the poisoned officers and soldiers of the mountain brigade in the barracks. Dozens of mountain brigade soldiers were compressed in two rows of barracks.
Although the brigade soldiers heard these movements, they could only act anxiously. Because the electricity was destroyed, the camp was dark, and guerrillas rushed in from both sides of the barracks from time to time. They were shot again by these soldiers with rifles and only two light machine guns.
go back.
As more and more guerrillas entered the camp, the fighting in front of the last two rows of barracks became more and more intense. Due to the accurate firepower of the mountain brigade soldiers in the barracks, the guerrillas dropped hundreds of corpses and no one was injured.
After being able to break into the barracks, some guerrillas finally started throwing torches on the roof of the barracks, and the wooden roof of the barracks began to slowly burn.
Dozens of mountain brigade soldiers who were standing in the barracks looked at the flickering fire outside and the actions of the guerrillas. They all knew that the barracks might not be saved. Although a distress telegram had been sent to the brigade headquarters in Davao City, the place could not be saved.
It’s hard to talk if you can’t hold on for more than an hour.
, once the barracks are burned, these soldiers can only go out to the open space to fight the guerrillas, and they can't take advantage of the weapons. More and more guerrillas have picked up the killed soldiers of the mountain brigade.
semi-automatic rifle and began to learn to master this new weapon.
Just when the soldiers in the barracks were about to rush out of the barracks and fight the guerrillas for the last time, a familiar "chunk" sound sounded. The soldiers in the mountain brigade quickly fell to the ground like a reflex, and a very dense crowd
The guerrillas standing outside the barracks were interrupted, knocked down, and broken into pieces as if they were struck by an invisible long knife.
"It's our armored vehicle! Don't raise your head. Let's wait until the heavy machine gun sweeps past it before we go out." The mountain brigade soldiers in the barracks whispered to each other.
Behind the two rows of barracks, two armored vehicles, one large and one small, were parked side by side 100 meters away. The three heavy machine guns on the roofs sprayed flames more than half a meter long, sweeping at the guerrillas near the barracks.
Shed, the more people there, the muzzle of the gun would turn, and then everything would be calm.
These two armored vehicles were patrol vehicles in the station. Since most of the soldiers and officers were holding a banquet that night, the number of sentries had been reduced to the minimum. However, the battalion commander and the company commander of the station were not confused.
An order was issued to stop even the armored vehicles from duty, so the two armored vehicles teamed up and began routine patrols on the outside of the camp.
As the officers began to relax, the soldiers followed suit. The two armored vehicles did not follow the regulations and move in irregular circles with the camp as the center. Instead, they only turned half a circle and drove onto the newly repaired
Roadbed, intending to be the first driver to drive on the new road. Just as eight people in two cars were running and playing, someone in the car suddenly heard gunshots coming from the direction of the station. After confirmation, the two cars hurriedly
After running desperately back, he saved dozens of soldiers in these two rows of barracks.
With the suppression of the heavy machine guns, all the guerrillas near the barracks had been killed or far away. Dozens of soldiers in the barracks rushed out of the barracks that had begun to burn and gathered next to the armored vehicles. After a rough count, they calculated
There were 8 people in the armored vehicle, leaving a total of 71 people left, 12 of whom were injured to varying degrees.
As the highest-ranking officer among the 71 people, the driver of the Badger armored vehicle became the temporary commander of the remnant soldier. Under the command of the deputy platoon leader, the more seriously injured soldiers were carried onto the Badger armored vehicle, and the remaining
The wounded who are able to move move with the troops.
Under the command of the temporary commander, this team was led by the Rat armored vehicle. After the Badger armored vehicle was broken up, the remaining infantry relied on the two armored vehicles as bunkers and advanced towards the road.
The guerrillas who came to attack the camp this time were not the guerrillas operating near the city of Valencia. The majority of the guerrillas who came this time were withdrawn from the entire southern part of Mindanao to the north. As the mountain brigade built roads and began to clean up the area around the roads,
The rainforests and villages and towns of
The guerrillas who are familiar with dealing with the US military are gradually losing their patience. In order to destroy the construction of these roads, Caputinan senior officials decided to comprehensively attack the teams building the roads and try to kill more Taiwanese soldiers. In this way, the roads will be destroyed due to cost.
It was too high and construction was stopped.
Who knew that the Taiwan Army was planning to use the attackers as laborers. Not only did these attacks not cause heavy losses to the mountain brigades, but they also seriously injured the guerrillas in southern Mindanao. Many team members were captured and shackled with handcuffs and ankles.
Hard labor was done on the construction site, but the construction of the road went faster.
Seeing that they could not stop the mountain brigade from building roads, the senior leaders of the Caputinan organization simply withdrew all the guerrillas remaining in southern Mindanao to the north. The area north of Valencia was exactly where these guerrillas had withdrawn from the south.
temporary assembly area.
When Captinan, the person in charge of the strategic retreat of the guerrillas, learned from an insider in the city of Valencia that the mountain brigade troops building the central highway and the mountain brigade troops stationed on the outskirts of Valencia were purchasing goods in Valencia.
All kinds of food, it seemed that when a banquet was about to be held, the person in charge immediately had a bold idea. He planned to teach these hateful Taiwanese troops a profound lesson on the way to retreat, so as to alleviate the guerrillas' hatred of the Taiwanese troops.
