Chapter 53 Ambush

Li Huchen was originally a beard, and he didn't know half of the big characters. He didn't know the high-end thing about the map, but fortunately this area is very familiar, and the road is completely imprinted in his heart. He only said: "Walking west from here is Mu Yuzi, then walking forty miles from Mu Yuzi, passing Poplar Peak, and then reaching Pingding Mountain. The Prince River on the other side of Pingding Mountain is you can reach Benxi Lake. You may not know this road. The saddest part of this road is the section from Poplar Peak to Birxi, which is a small road, and the cannon truck is afraid it is difficult to pass."

According to Li Huchen's explanation, Colonel Madlitov finally found such a small path on the map, and while listening to Li Huchen's words, he marked it on the map. Although the Russian army had occupied the Northeast for three or four years since the Gengzi year, he still had no idea about the geography of the Northeast, especially the mountains and forests near the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain. If it weren't for the beard of Li Huchen, they would not have been able to have arrived in Huajianzi Town so smoothly from Nanzamu.

After offering the road, Li Huchen returned to the camp at Colonel Madlitov with enough food and drink. As soon as he entered the door, the brothers in the room asked hurriedly: "Why did you go there for so long? What do you say about the big nose?"

Li Huchen was calm and sat on the tiger chair without any haste. The stone tiger chair was too heavy, and it took four people to lift it, and there were people who had to be replaced within a few miles. However, for the sake of temperament, Li Huchen still asked the boys below to carry the tiger chair, even if it was so heavy.

Li Huchen raised his eyelids and said, "Everyone, what are you doing so anxiously? If you are discovered by your big nose, then our heads will..."

Li Huchen's intimidation made everyone shrink their necks involuntarily. The big nose kills people is not ordinary, especially this Lord Ma. When he was punishing those disobedient wooden handles in the wood company, he killed them for four or five days, and his body floated from the big chestnuts in Linjiang to the mouth of the Yalu River downstream.

Of course, there are also people who are not afraid of evil. Wu Laojian, who came from the south, looked at everyone with contempt. He twisted his sparse beard and said confidently: "The big nose is already a loach in the lane ditch, and he can't make any big waves. The last time in Liaoyang was in 200,000 Japanese people and 300,000 people with big noses, what happened? The big nose has lost. Now the Japanese people are about to be beaten down. At that time, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses are transferred over and the big nose is turned over.

It's not only about the Northeast that I'm here. When I come, Lord Hua has already said that as long as you surrender sincerely, how can you promise everyone with such a big nose? He will double it. Also, this battle will always be over. At that time, everyone will have to make a living. As long as they surrender sincerely, Lord Hua will definitely let the Japanese high-ranking officials say a few good things to the imperial court and let the imperial court bring you all. Then don't wander around the forest anymore..."

Wu Laojian's previous words were useless to mention Li Huchen's interest. To be fair, Lord Ma wanted people to give them to others and guns, which was good for him. But when Mr. Wu Laojian talked about the post-war events, Li Huchen's mind began to become active. Although Lord Ma was nice to him, he never said how to arrange himself in the future. Could it be that the curly beast Tiezi Lin Qi be a general in the future? This is too boring. It is not a way to wander around the forest like this. It is said that the clay pot is inevitable to break the well, and the general is inevitably killed. Beards are a business of carrying on the tip of a knife, and the day is not safe, but as long as they are recruited by the court, they will be considered as a life.

When Wu Laojian saw Li Huchen's appearance, he knew that he was already moved. He stopped talking and just looked at him with a mouse. Li Huchen knew that he was waiting for his own statement. After he hesitating for a while, he finally said, "If I bring my big nose to the Japanese ambush, what price can this Lord Hua pay me?"

Wu Laojian was overjoyed when he heard this and couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the boss really wants to bring these big noses to the Japanese ambush, let's not talk about the rewards, and then he will say that in the future, this official should be the commander of the patrol battalion at least."

Hearing that he could be the commander of the patrol battalion in the future, Li Huchen and his brothers took a breath, and for a moment, the eyes of the rat were all happy. Before surrendering to the big nose, they would not say the patrol battalion, even the county patrol police could chase them like rabbits. If they became the commander of the court in the future, wouldn’t it be a rat turned into a cat? Everyone laughed and thought of becoming the commander in the future. Li Huchen finally made up his mind and said, “If you go back tomorrow, just say the three words 'Pingding Mountain' to you Lord Hua. Brothers will do whatever they should do, but in the future you tell Lord Hua not to forget today.”

Although Wu Laojian didn't know what it meant to be worthy of Pingding Mountain, he knew that it was an important thing, so he just kept it in mind, then took out a stack of white cloth from his arms, and after opening it, it was a Japanese menstruation flag and said, "The boss is the boss, the two armies are fighting without eyes. As long as the boss is hanging this flag on the battlefield, it can keep everyone safe."

Li Huchen felt a little disdainful, saying that he was hanging the flag to ensure safety, but he was asking him to accept the letter of fame. When he hung the flag on the position, he would ensure that the big nose guns and cannons were first pointed at him and then against the Japanese. But when he thought that the big nose was indeed the grasshopper after autumn, he stopped muttering in his heart, signaling someone to pick up the flag, and then talked with Wu Laojian for a moment, and then sent him away after sending him away.

After three days of procrastination, the Russian army finally arrived at the place called Pingding Mountain. The road led by Li Huchen was very hidden. After passing Muyuzi, there was no one on the way. Fortunately, although this road was hidden, it was not difficult to walk. The most dangerous cannon cart of the poplar wood was easily passed. Under the autumn sun, Colonel Madlitov rode on his horse, standing on a small hillside, and looked helplessly at the sparse infantry team. The more than 20 Russian miles could be completed in two days as planned, but the morale of the troops was too low, and he could only walk less than six Russian miles a day. I really don’t know what these soldiers thought. Can you survive by walking slowly? The slower you walk, the higher the probability of being discovered by the Japanese army. The more dangerous it will be.

Colonel Madlitov turned to look at the valley in front, and walked a little further forward to Pingding Mountain. Arriving at Pingding Mountain means reaching the Prince River. At that time, you can unexpectedly follow the valley and go westward into the Japanese logistics warehouse in Benxi Lake. It is said that the warehouse has stored food supplies for the entire Japanese Manchu army. As long as this warehouse is destroyed, the Japanese army will definitely retreat, and it will be a matter of time to drive them, these thin monkeys, into the sea.

When Colonel Madlitov was imagining, the troops finally arrived at the reserved camping site. The Cossack cavalry had already arranged to set up a tent here, and perhaps had dinner. Leonid twisted and sat on the saddle, which was already a little numb, cursed: "Why do these damn Cossack bastards set up their camping site so far? Ivan..."

Just as he raised his voice to greet the orderly soldiers, a shell exploded on the outside of the camp. The shell exploded into a large mud pit and the gunshots also sounded. Leonid's voice suddenly stopped. Soon, shortly after the first shell fell, more shells fell into the camp. The gray animals who had been tired for a day immediately struggled to get up and looked for cover in chaos.

Colonel Madlitov ran out of the tent when he heard the first sound of cannons, and then grabbed Major Zahar, the commander of the Cossack cavalry, who followed him, shouted. "Japanese, where did the Japanese come from? How did you reconnaise? How many Japanese are there?" As if he had heard Colonel Madlitov's question, Major Zahar had not answered this question yet, and all the Japanese soldiers hiding in the mountains in advance emerged. It was so dense that he could not see how many people were.

Pingdingshan Village is located at the corner of the Taizi River turning from north to west, including the Russian army's origin in the east and the Alkalichanggou in the south. This place seems to be a crossroads. Now the Russian army is in the middle of this crossroads. The only high ground on all sides have been occupied by the Japanese army. The Russian army is in the crossfire and seems to be about to die out. The Huabang Li Huchen tribe, who had been highly anticipated before, had already run away to the west of Pingdingshan with a Japanese flag. After entering the Japanese position, he turned his gun and began to aim at the Russian army.

If ordinary people had been facing such a situation, they would have long raised their hands to surrender or take the opportunity to escape. However, Colonel Madlitov was a member of the Russian Holy Regiment and a military talent who was personally attracted by the former Minister Bezobrazov. He turned his head and looked at the sun slightly to the west, then grabbed Major Zahar, pointed to Pingdingshan Village to the north and the high ground to the west of the village and said loudly: "Let the artillery bombard these two high grounds and bombard these two high grounds..." Major Zahar was shaken by him a few times, and only after he said it for the third time, he understood the order, and hurriedly bent down and ran to the artillery company to command it himself.

The Russian army was surrounded at this intersection. If you want to break through, you can only go east or north. As for the south and west, it is not within the scope of Colonel Madlitov's considerations, compared with the east where the gunfire was chatting, he decided to break through to the north with fierce firepower. This is not reasonable. People like to choose places they are familiar with when they are in crisis. Now the east is the Russian army. It is normal for them to go back to escape when they run back, but how can they not know that the Japanese army is waiting on the way to the east?

Although I haven't walked to the north and I don't know whether it's a way to live or a dead end, since the north is the Taizi River, it can still be connected along the river valley. Even if I have no way to go to the source of the Taizi River, then if I go straight north, I can still reach the official road from Nanzamu to Huajianzi Town before. According to the map, Pingding Mountain is only more than ten miles away from the official road from Huajianzi Town to the north. minus the length of the Taizi River valley, it is estimated that the distance to cross mountains and ridges should be only a few miles, and the chance of escaping this road is the highest. However, when crossing the mountains and forests, all the baggage must be abandoned, but in the choice of life and baggage, Colonel Madlitov will undoubtedly choose the former.

The Russian army was constantly dying in the confrontation with the Japanese army. Finally, the Russian cannons began to sound amid the prayer of Colonel Madlitov. It has to be said that the Cossack Artillery Company was well-trained. In the second round of artillery attacks, one of the machine gun positions arranged in Pingdingshan Village was bombed. When the third round of artillery attacks, the machine gun positions on the high ground west of the village were also silent. Of course, the Cossack Artillery Company also paid the price for this. After discovering the Russian artillery, the Japanese artillery moved the bullet point to the Russian artillery position. After several calibrations, when the Russian army launched the third round, two shells finally hit the position, and two mountain cannons were overturned. The nearby artillery was killed and injured.

Just when the Russian artillery bombarded Pingdingshan Village, the Japanese commander Hanada Nakanosuke Nakasa, who was on the west side of the battlefield, saw that the Russian army was not bombarding his own artillery positions, but bombarding the villages in the north, he knew the Russian commander's plan. He immediately asked the messenger to convey orders to the artillery, abandoning the Russian infantry to turn the gun mouth and destroying the Russian artillery first. However, his artillery was too inferior. To be precise, the 1898 Arisak rapid-fire cannons were too inferior. This kind of artillery cannon can only fire three shells per minute, so it took a lot of time to hit the Russian artillery positions.

The ambushing of Madlitov's troops in Pingding Mountain was a temporary decision. After receiving information from Wu Laojian, Major Hanada immediately reported the ambush to General Kuroki, the first army. Although the operation was quickly passed, the heavy firepower required for the ambush was extremely limited, and there was no mountain cannon. Six rapid-fire cannons and machine guns were each assigned, and the personnel were extremely limited. In addition to the hundreds of Manchu rebels, there were only more than two brigades of troops, which was more like an ambush than an ambush. Now, the two machine guns arranged in the north were bombarded by the cannons, because the Russian army did not retreat eastward as speculated, so the half brigade and two machine guns arranged there were completely useless. Only two machine guns were still firing at the west gate and south.

Seeing that the machine gun in the north was swept away by the Russian artillery, the Russian army was about to break north, Hanada Nakasa couldn't help but jump out of the trenches, stood in front of the trenches and pulled out the command knife, and then shouted heart-wrenchingly: "Ha Deyi..." As Huada's shouting, a large group of Japanese troops jumped out of the trenches. He picked up the bayonet and stood up fearlessly to the Russian camp. Behind the Japanese army, Li Huchen, who had just surrendered, also bit his teeth and rushed up with the Japanese in the shadow of the supervision team behind.

The infantry commander Lieutenant Colonel Leonid was originally ambushed by the Japanese army in this ravine. Now, seeing a dark and shaky bayonet rushing towards the front of the position, he immediately lost all his courage. He bent and retreated for a while. He turned around and ran for less than two steps, and only heard two gunshots of "pa, pa". His fat body was as if he had been hammered by a hammer. After shaking twice, he collapsed on the ground like a dog.

After shooting Leonid, Colonel Madlitov threw the revolver that was still smoking to his adjutant, then pulled out his command knife, and stood on the position and roared like a black bear: "Ula, my emperor Ula, Ula..." Suddenly, nearly a thousand Russian soldiers in the western position also roared, shouting "Ula" wildly, and went west to meet. Only by repelling this Japanese attack can the Russian army retreat safely. This is what Colonel Madlitov thought before charging.

Nearly a thousand Russian soldiers trapped in the Jedi met more than a thousand Japanese soldiers in the west river valley. As soon as they came into contact with the front row of Japanese soldiers, they were overthrown by Russian soldiers. Compared with the tall Russians, the Japanese were indeed too short, but before the first row of Russian soldiers drew bayonets and killed the Japanese on the ground, the second row of Japanese bayonets stabbed over. With a sound of wow, the gray line rushing in the front was overwhelmed by a blue line hedged, and then the gray and blue colors were mixed together.

Unlike the tall and large Tsarist Russian soldiers, the Japanese army was small, but they were more powerful in fighting bayonets. They were not like the Russian army, and they were scattered and fought with big and big sides. Instead, they were scattered and fought with each other, and they were guarding the door. They suddenly stepped on a slash when they had the chance. After stabbing, they took back the knife before they were not at the bottom, preparing for the next sprint. After several bloody battles, these Japanese veterans on the battlefield completely abandoned the fancy and complex bayonet skills they had learned from Europe and began to become flexible and tricky. But even so, the combat losses ratio with the Russian army was still outrageous. Fortunately, the terrain of the valley was narrow and more than two thousand people were piled up here. The Russian army could not use it at all.

The gray line on the front two layers was soon swallowed by the blue, but the valley was narrow but still one kilometer wide. The Russian army, which had too many people, began their unique way of fighting with the death of the two teams in front of them, and after the death of the two teams in front, they began to fight with their unique way of opening and closing. After the Japanese army was not strong enough to fight, they were inevitably exhausted after the fierce battle. They were suppressed and beaten by the Russian army for a while. Seeing that the Japanese army could not hold on, Li Huchen's troops, who had previously been huddled behind, joined the army. Although these Hu bandits were not used to using awkward guns to kill, the joining of the thousand people still slowed down the Russian offensive.
