When Ye Chen charged desperately, Obai was not idle either.
As a fighting maniac, Obai wanted to fight with the National Defense Forces.
He lost to Wang Siyi in Hebei, which has always made Ao Bai resentful and always thinking about revenge.
Now that he finally faced off against the National Defense Forces again, he decided to soak the sword in his hand with blood.
The more than 10,000 infantrymen he led used the terrain to swarm into the mountains on both sides.
As internal and external rivers and mountains, terrain is definitely an important consideration when fighting in Shanxi.
Whoever can occupy the high point can take the initiative on the battlefield.
Obai knew that as long as the commanding heights on both sides of the valley were captured, victory would belong to the Qing army.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Be careful to avoid the Han people's muskets, they don't recognize people."
He didn't need to remind him that the Qing army was already very careful.
All soldiers take three steps forward before looking for a bunker. At the same time, he carefully observed and tried not to give the Wehrmacht soldiers a chance to shoot.
The 13th Regiment deployed five hundred men on the top of the mountains on both sides.
This is already the limit, and there really can't be too many troops.
Facing tens of thousands of Qing troops, these five hundred soldiers fell into a bitter battle from the beginning.
The rugged terrain was too restrictive for musketry. Before the soldiers could take aim, the Qing army rolled and crawled and hid in a blind corner.
"Free fire, no need to wait for orders."
Forced by desperation, Geng Jiaxiu, commander of the 13th Regiment, issued the order again.
It is simply impossible to conduct volley shooting in this kind of terrain.
The Wehrmacht soldiers had no way to form a musket array, and the actions of the Qing army also made it impossible to line up and shoot.
Fortunately, free shooting is also a necessary subject during the training of the National Defense Forces.
The soldiers who received the order began to look for opportunities on their own.
They were condescending and had an advantage over the Qing army. Whenever a Qing soldier was accidentally exposed, several muskets were immediately aimed at him.
Amidst the banging and banging of gunfire, even the Qing soldiers wearing three layers of armor were useless and turned into blood gourds on the spot.
Seeing the tragic situation of the friendly forces, the remaining Qing soldiers became more and more frightened and paid more attention to hiding.
The two sides kept testing like a hide-and-seek, and the Qing army advanced faster and faster.
Finally they got within fifty meters.
At this distance, the Qing army's archers could finally take action.
They stretched their bows and drew their strings, their eyes fixed on the sky. When a National Defense Force soldier sticks his head out and shoots, he immediately fires back.

The soldiers of the National Defense Force had just shot and killed an enemy. They suddenly felt something was wrong and it was too late to squat down. He simply lowered his head and caught the arrow with the steel helmet on his head.
The sharp arrows caused friction with the slope of the helmet, and with a loud clang, the helmet was lifted off on the spot.
But in this way, the lives of the Wehrmacht soldiers were saved.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid, his heart pounding, and he finally had an intuitive understanding of the dangers of the battlefield.
The Qing army had too many people, and shooting with bows and arrows was more convenient than muskets.
Seeing that the National Defense Forces overhead were somewhat suppressed, Obai was overjoyed and immediately gave the order.
"Form a shield formation and charge forward."
The elite soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner quickly put all the big shields together, and the soldiers hid underneath and rushed up along the narrow path.
At a distance of fifty meters, it might only take a few breaths to pounce on him.
But how could the Wehrmacht soldiers give them this opportunity? Several grenades were thrown down on the spot.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, all these elite members of Zhenghuang Banner were killed on the spot, and their shields were scattered on the ground.
But when the Wehrmacht soldiers leaned out to throw grenades, they also became targets of Qing army archers.
Hundreds of sharp arrows were shot up, hitting more than 20 soldiers.
A fire vacuum quickly appeared in this area, and Obai caught him on the spot.
He burst out with a loud roar and rushed forward himself.
With him taking the lead, the rest of the Qing soldiers followed bravely.
By the time the rest of the National Defense Forces soldiers came to take up their positions, Obai had already stood on the National Defense Forces' position.
Three bayonets came towards him, but Obai was not afraid. After knocking the three bayonets away with one round of his sword, he jumped up in the air condescendingly. With a flying kick in mid-air, he knocked down all three National Defense Force soldiers.
With him opening the way, the following Qing soldiers also rushed forward.
Seeing the Qing army rushing into the position, the soldiers of the National Defense Force turned their guns one after another and beat them randomly, causing a lot of casualties.
But Obai rolled continuously without any injuries, and even took the opportunity to kill a Wehrmacht soldier.
Just as he was about to pounce on the second man, a gunshot rang out from the side.
Fortunately, he was alert enough and dodged. The bullet hit the ground, and the mud that bounced up caused pain all over his face.
The second Wehrmacht soldier's eyes were red, and he stabbed him with his bayonet.
Obai squatted on the ground, unable to swing the sword away, so he simply used the arm armor of his left arm to block the sword. At the same time, he took half a step back, gathered strength in his waist, and thrust his weapon straight out.
The soldiers of the National Defense Force were also smart. They missed a single hit and quickly retreated according to the instructions, leaving Obai free.
In just one confrontation, Obai was shocked.
He could clearly feel that he was facing a new recruit, because he seemed quite unfamiliar in many aspects during the fight.
But it was such a new recruit who actually made his killing blow miss.
If all the soldiers of the National Defense Force were like this, would the Qing army still have hope of victory?
Seeing that one position was broken through by the Qing army, the National Defense Forces in other places launched desperate attacks, regardless of casualties.
Their attack effectively hit the subsequent Qing troops, making those who broke into the position unable to stand.
Obai tried several times, but was beaten so hard that he couldn't lift his head, so he had to jump down again.
Wehrmacht soldiers quickly restored their lines, rescued the wounded and sent them to the rear.
When Obai returned to his own formation, he was very unwilling and punched and kicked several generals.
"Why don't you follow?"
Mandarhan was full of resentment, but he did not dare to show off.
"Many of my men were shot and couldn't get up at all. It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death."
Obai grabbed him by the collar with a dangerous look in his eyes.
"Since you are not afraid of death, just follow. Don't think that you can survive because you are from the Hada tribe. It is not yet known how the queen will treat the traitor."
Mandarhan was very ashamed.
"Since I have pledged allegiance to the Qing Dynasty, I am a member of the Qing Dynasty in life and a ghost of the Qing Dynasty in death, why would the general insult me? Well, this time I will be the vanguard. Let the general take a good look, you are not the only warrior of the Qing Dynasty."
Mandarhan broke away from Obai and shouted to his subordinates: "Follow me all and fight your way out."
The soldiers from the fourth commander of the Zhenghuang Banner followed suit.
The second wave of Qing attacks came quickly, giving the 13th Regiment no chance to breathe.
