Because there was no snow and the ground was frozen strong, and the cavalry had already explored the way yesterday, and the troops were moving very fast. At 11 o'clock in the evening, they arrived at the designated camp. Most of the companies were waiting outside the camp and only sent a squad to carry the flag to plan the camp. When the flags were coming down, each company would follow the previous training. While each company set up camp, the outer guard positions began to be arranged, and the cooking squad began to take ice and fire to cook. It consumed energy when marching in the snow, so it was necessary to ensure that no one had a bowl of broth, two steamed buns, and a small pot of hot feet.

On the second day, it was dark and it started to march after six o'clock, but the road this time was not as smooth as before. The Hun River in this area always collapsed during the rainy season, and both sides of the river were bumpy. The Qibei Village area is a highland. Usually, floods cannot rush up, but it is difficult to get from the high river bank to the frozen river surface. During the day, although the engineers made a lot of wood in Qibei Village and made several simple wooden bridges, there were still many pack horses breaking their legs and crying under the bridge when they crossed the wooden bridge.

After getting down the river bank, the ground was a little flat, but this flatness was also relatively flat. As you walk, you would fall from time to time, or you would trip up by the protruding earth ridge as you walk. After all, the road was too difficult to see clearly under the moonlight, and it was all white, and it was difficult to see clearly wherever you were high or low. Fortunately, considering the road surface problem, there were no mountain cannons or field cannons, otherwise they would have to be spent on this ice field overnight.

This time the march did not arrive until two o'clock in the morning. Lu Mengxiong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had arrived on time. According to his understanding of the Russian army, they would fire fires hard once they attacked. Once the Russian army fired fires, the Japanese army on the entire front would be disturbed.

He quickly summoned the officers of each battalion and artillery team. "Now there is the defense line of the Japanese, from north to south, the top is the top. Then there are Wujiazi, Beituozi, and the bottom is Bahuang. These strongholds are mainly for alertness. There are very few Japanese inside, mostly in a row and fewer in a squad. Now the first battalion is responsible for two places, the head pao and Wujiazi, and if they occupy any of them, they will quickly advance towards Suma Fort. The Japanese in Suma Fort were destroyed; the second battalion is responsible for two places, Beituozi and Bahuang, and they will also occupy any place and advance towards Sanjianba, trying every means to capture Sanjianba; the third battalion is a reserve team, ready to support at any time. The attack time of the first and second battalion is roughly at 6 o'clock in the dawn. The machine gun company and artillery team pay attention to supporting and cooperating with the infantry attack, and the engineer pay attention to preparing ladders."

The number of heavy machine guns is limited, and Russian talents are dozens. So one is not given to the Independent Army. Yang Rui's troops are now using Danish machine guns. Although Yu Zixun tried hard to buy them, the supply was tight due to the Russian order and the Russian-Japanese war. He only got 60, and the Second Brigade divided the forty. Although these machine guns are air-cooled, the barrel will heat up before it takes a long time. It is really not like it, but if you don't like it, it's better than not having a machine gun. Moreover, the price of this gun is cheap, each of which includes eight magazines, each box has 25 rounds of ammunition, totaling 200 rounds of bullets and accessories, which only costs 800 taels. For Maxim, the price of naked guns is about 1,500 taels. If you want to add push wheels, baffles, tripods and other accessories, you need another 400 taels. Two guns are still OK to push one shot, especially its weight is only ten kilograms, which is easy to carry by the commando.

At dawn, Zhao Dawang, deputy commander of the 1st Company of the Second Battalion, had already brought people to the entrance of Beituozizhuang. He and the soldiers were crawling on the cold ice ground, moving forward against the ground. Although they were separated by cotton coats, he could still feel the coldness on the ground. The moon had already gone down. The night suddenly darkened, and the arrangement of the enemy's positions could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and he could only vaguely see the faint light of fire from the Zhuangzi.

The night in Manchuria was extremely cold. Asano Taro, who was in the trenches, was roasting fire in the trenches while stomping his cold feet. He was from Kawasaki Prefecture. Because he was older, he was a troops transferred later, so he did not catch up with the battles of Liaoyang and Shahe. When he arrived in Manchuria, the war had been stalemate. Since the end of the Battle of Shahe in October, the Russian army has not launched another attack. Perhaps it was because of age and family relationships, unlike the young soldiers of the cavalry unit. Asano Taro was secretly pleased with such a stalemate. He only hoped that the war would be stalemate until the end of the war, and then he could return to his hometown. However, the reality was not as beautiful as imagined. A few days ago, Sadada farmed at Nakazu ordered the contraction of defense to prevent the attack of the Luguo army. It turned out that the two teams stationed in Tou Pao were transferred away, and there were only more than twenty people left.

It was dim, and just as Taro Asano was thanking Amaterasu for making the world peaceful for another day, waves of "swoosh, swoosh, swoosh" sounds came from the air. Before everyone could look up, the shells exploded "boom, swoosh, swoosh" a few dozen meters away. He suddenly had a bad premonition and quickly wanted to put out the fire, but before the fire was put out, the second round of shells came. With a "boom", he only felt that he seemed to fly up and never landed again.

The artillery first ravaged the enemy's front that could be seen for several rounds, then slowly moved towards the breakthrough, blowing up the low walls and deer antlers there. When the barriers were almost cleared, the artillery was transferred to the enemy's front again.

According to previous training, the first company commander Chen Changgeng jumped up from the ground as soon as the shells moved inward and shouted: "Roar!Roar!Roar!" After that, he waved his hands and shouted, "Roar!Roar!" The engineers carried the ladder and ran forward.

The five-meter-long ladder was made of fir trees and was not too heavy. Two soldiers could run by carrying it. They could reach it in half a minute without having to reach it for more than 100 meters. However, Qian Laogen, the engineer who carried the ladder, felt that something was about to jump out of his chest. The ladder was mounted on the trench outside the village, and he lay on the ground and couldn't move.

With a ladder, the commando immediately ran into the village. After a few sounds of shotguns and grenades, the Japanese resistance stopped. Company commander Chen Changgeng looked at the Japanese who were kneeling on the ground and holding guns with his hands. Damn, didn’t it say that the little nose never surrendered? Why did he kneel down to himself? It’s okay to kneel down, there are more people, just about ten people, what’s the point of just a dozen? Thinking about the dozens of shells he had just shot, he spitted on a small nose face and cursed: “Damn, it’s really not worth it!”

When Chen Changgeng said it was not worth it, Deputy Company Commander Zhao Dawang also said it was not worth it. His previous arrangement was like this. Chen Changgeng led two rows to rush into the Zhuangzi, and he led one to ambush behind the Zhuangzi, hoping to wrap the Japanese who retreated from the Zhuangzi. Although he knew that even a single Japanese from his grandmother had not come out, he made him wait for a long time in vain.

The second battalion commander Zhang Changguo didn't know how many Japanese troops were in Zhuangzi. He thought that if the first round could not be captured, would he have to press the second company up in the next round? Who knew that after a few gunshots in one line, there would be no sound. The matter was so strange that his heart was in his throat, and he just waited to let the second company go in to rescue him immediately. At this time, the correspondent of the first company reported that the Zhuangzi had taken it and captured the Japanese.

Zhang Changguo was stunned for a while before saying, "Is it true?"

The orderlyman looked at the battalion commander with some surprise and nodded, "Report to the battalion commander, it's true!"

Zhang Changguo felt a cold sweat, and he came back to his senses. He said seriously: "Cleaning the battlefield immediately, target Sanjianbubble."

The Sanjian Basket in the five families had four miles of road. The first battalion wanted to take advantage of the entire outpost to attack and catch Sanjian Basket off guard. Who knew that before he arrived at Sanjian Basket, he encountered the Japanese cavalry who came to check. It was snowing at this time, and the visibility was too low. Both sides knew the identity of the other party. When they were taken to more than 100 meters, they found that it was Japanese cavalry. After a gun, the accompanying cavalry company immediately chased them like a rabbit, but they still ran away for the bastards. When Zhang Changguo was taken to Sanjian Basket, the Japanese army in the village were already ready.

Zhang Changguo circled around the village and selected a position to tell him, "Let a few Japanese soldiers go to persuade them to surrender."

Unexpectedly, this baby battalion commander had to play with the Three Kingdoms tune. The first company commander Chen Changgeng said, "Battery Commander. We don't understand Japanese."

"Oh, you don't understand. I understand! Bring people up." Zhang Changguo is an outstanding graduate of the fourth phase of the Military Academy. He attended the Revival Society in Tokyo. He knew a few Japanese words and was very soft in his work, and he looked like a good student.

Chen Changgeng, who was a hawker, was very smart and deliberately grabbed four or five injured noses. He thought to himself that even if I persuaded surrender, I would not give you any benefits.

When Zhang Changguo saw several Japanese soldiers coming, he quickly bowed and said, "Ah. I'm so sorry!"

Several Japanese were shocked by his behavior and did not dare to speak. Zhang Zongchang stood up and saw the Japanese soldiers, and was very surprised and didn't care. He continued, "Ah! I am from the Qing Dynasty. I have studied in Tokyo and studied at Chengcheng School. This is my student ID," Zhang Changguo handed over a blue notebook, "I really miss everything there. I am now on the battlefield and I can't help myself."

The Japanese soldier was inexplicably made by him. Finally, a military officer like a military officer took the certificate. After reading it, he finally said, "Then why do you still attack us? Our Japanese army is going to help you drive away the people of the country."

Zhang Changguo seemed to be very happy and lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'm really ashamed!" Another bow, "My father is a horse thief. He chose to surrender to the people of Lu, so I have no choice. Sorry! You guys." After that, he bowed deeply again!

Now the Japanese soldiers finally reacted, filial sons, and they bowed as well. When Zhang Changguo saw them bow, he was delighted and said, "It's so regrettable that Luguo's large-scale attack this time. Under the order of my father, I have to attack the village you defend. However, I don't want to fight against Japan. Please, please return to the village and tell the officers inside that I will only surround here and only shoot at the sky. As long as Luguo's army does not come, we will definitely not attack you."

I really didn't expect that the enemy's commander turned out to be a Japanese fan. Several Japanese soldiers were excited and all bowed to Zhang Changguo and said, "I feel wronged. Great Japan will definitely thank you."

Zhang Changguo bowed and returned the gift, and said, "I'm so sorry! Eight Japanese soldiers were injured by accident. You should take their bodies back. They are all warriors of the Japanese!" After that, Zhang Changguo seemed to cry, and several Japanese soldiers were deeply moved. Finally, under Zhang Changguo's gift, he drove a sun flag and drove a mule cart carrying a body to the village.

As soon as the Japanese left, the second company commander Lu Wangcai jumped out and pointed at Zhang Changguo and shouted, "Battery Commander, you are a cheap little nose..."

Chen Changgeng ignored Lu Wangcai and just cursed: "What a stupid donkey!" and ran out.

Seeing that someone was scolded by someone, Lu Wangcai was about to fight back, but Chen Changgeng disappeared. In addition, Zhang Changguo ignored him, so he had to sit on the ground without saying a word. The wind and snow outside the house were even more anxious. Zhang Changguo asked the cannon company, "Is it possible to hit such a strong wind?"

The company commander of the artillery company is also a military academy student. His skills are quite good. The artillery bombardment just now was quite accurate. But it didn't work. He didn't think so wrongly when he saw the battalion commander's style. Now he asked the battalion commander and said, "The wind is probably five or six junctures, and it's still very unstable. It's a bit difficult to hit. It's estimated that 30% more shells."

"It's good if you hit it. I'm afraid you won't hit it." Zhang Changguo said, and after that, he went to the prisoner.

At this time, Chen Changgeng, who had just left, came back. As soon as he arrived, he arrived: "Damn, the little nose inside is quite evil. It seems that he left his way to live in the north of Zhuangzi." He didn't see the battalion commander, and asked: "Where is the battalion commander?"

The commander of the cannon company pursed his lips and said, "Go to the prisoner's side. You will know by listening to the sound."

Chen Changgeng heard the ears and heard the screams from the wind and snow, as if there was a battalion commander's scolding: "I asked you to collect food expenses randomly, so that you would not teach real things, so that you would not shoot me..."

After a while, Zhang Changguo came back with a sweat on his head. Chen Changgeng immediately stood at attention and said, "Battery Commander. The Japanese went to the north of Zhuangzi. It seems that there is the road there. The road to the west is probably a trap." He asked again, "Have the Japanese said it?"

"No, I'm so hard. No matter how he is, they are like this." Zhang Chang Guodao saw Chen Changgeng saying that he had found out the direction, and then said, "Since we know the direction of the main attack, but we don't know the number of people. Then we will use all the troops. After two platoons are left at the command center, everyone will be transferred to the north of the Zhuangzi to stand by. The Japanese will come and say back and forth. Wait for my order to fire again. Remember! As soon as the artillery opened the gap, they rushed in and poured everyone in me. Explain to each platoon and company that they were fighting Japanese reserve soldiers just now, and now there are Japanese regular soldiers in the Zhuangzi, so don't be careless. In the end, the platoon leader and squad leader are important to the street fighting. Whoever forgets the military law dealt with it!"

When Zhang Changguo shouted, the company commanders were filled with trouble and hurriedly said, "Yes!" and then they arranged for each to go.

Swordsman Ichiro Sakamoto drove a mule cart and walked towards the entrance of the village with the sun flag. He walked a few hundred meters away and was rarely entangled. Looking at the dead body on the mule cart that had not been frozen and frozen, he felt happy, but when he thought of his once captured, he felt palpitations again. How to explain this matter? He looked at the other people, wanted to say something but didn't say it. The car soon arrived at the entrance. The village was already heavily guarded. Before they could approach the trench, a sound rang out, "Who is it?" Then there was a sound of gunbolts.

Ichiro Sakamoto was nervous and shouted quickly, "It's us... don't shoot! Don't shoot! It's us!"

Seeing that it was a familiar person, the gun opposite him was immediately put down. As soon as they approached, they were shocked. Sakamoto ignored their fright, but just grabbed a Cao Chang and said, "Take me to see the Grand Master, I want to see the Grand Master..."

The Farming Brigade defended the far left-wing of Japan, but it only had two short-term cavalry corpses, a reserve infantry squadron and two machine guns. Originally, the seven or eight small strongholds in front generally had about one squad, and the two large strongholds of Heigou and Sanjianpao had slightly more troops, and a cavalry corps were arranged respectively. However, with the order of Akiyama Yogu, the troops of Heigou as the key defensive stronghold were strengthened. Only 94 cavalry of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment and 223 infantry of the Second Reservoi Regiment were left on the Sanjianpao side. As for the original machine gun, the defense of Sanjianpao was also transferred away. At the same time, strengthening Sanjianpao's defense, he could only draw half of the troops of the four strongholds in front of Sanjianpao, so that Sanjianpao had about one squadron.

At dawn, gunfire sounds came from the north and west at the same time. The commander of the detachment, Grand Secretary Fujita, ordered the cavalry to go to the north and west to reconnaise. The reconnaissance resulted in shocking the Japanese army in the village. The enemy actually attacked. Grand Secretary Fujita immediately issued a combat order and then called the brigade headquarters to report, but the phone number was blocked. At this moment, there was a noise outside the house, and a voice shouted, "I want to see Grand Master, I want to see Grand Master."

It was actually the Qing horse bandits attacking us! The Qing horse bandits were actually in the enemy camp and their hearts were...Sun!

After Ichiro Sakamoto made this news, Major Fujita and the captains of the two cavalry squads were shocked. The captain of Okamura looked excited and said, "Promise him immediately! Master Grandpa, we also need to send someone to contact him to obtain offensive information from the Luguo army, and then report it to the headquarters..."
Chapter completed!
