The 1st Squadron of the 5th Cavalry Brigade under Kimura Shige's command was first ambushed by the anti-Japanese army at Dongxian Ridge and ate up nearly half of the squadron's strength.

Then, on the opposite bank of the upper reaches of Hushan on the Yalu River, a cavalry squad was defeated by the anti-Japanese army.

The team of 200 cavalry of the 1st Squadron was beaten to only 60 horsemen, which can be said to have been completely disabled.

What a blood feud!

Afterwards, in the Xiuyan Annihilation Battle, the Japanese army captured a large number of bannermen and horses, and reorganized the first squadron to full capacity.

The 5th Cavalry Brigade regained three full squadrons of nearly 600 cavalry.

Then from Xiuyan to Liaoyang, Mukden, and then to Shanhaiguan, this road was a smooth battle, and the three cavalry squadrons in Kimura's heavy hands were also repeatedly reduced to nearly 400 cavalry.

In the Battle of the Yalu River, when crossing the middle river of Hushan at night, the Ohara Yoshijiro Division of the Awaihara Changyo 2nd Brigade was raided by the anti-Japanese army in fog, and the bridge was blown up and blocked on the north bank.

Not only did the entire plan to cross the river fail, but 500 troops were eaten.

Afterwards, the 2nd Brigade of the Wing, like the 9th Brigade of Oshima Yoshimasa, was shamefully reduced to a second-line defender.

Including this attack at Shanhaiguan, the various wings either waited for a general attack in front of Shanhaiguan, or General Limi's 12th Wing served as a more urgent and arduous flank attack on the detour.

The 19th Wing of the Rice Plains and the 5th Cavalry Brigade, which had also been attacked by the Anti-Japanese Army, were sent to the mountains to 'suppress bandits'.

This kind of marginalized humiliation, how can it not make the two full of resentment against the Japanese army!

"Don't care about the left side, see that the general will deal with it; The whole army sped up, caught the mountain rats, and exterminated them! ”

With the roar of Su Iihara, the advance pace of the troops suddenly accelerated, and the nearly 100 Japanese cavalry troops of the 1st Cavalry Squadron were clamping the belly of the horses and leading the pioneer horses to gallop away.

"Boom, boom, boom-"

More than 130 war horses, stepping on the surface of the Jiujiang River, like a fierce beast of the river and the sea going upstream, pounced on Qiupi Lake.

Lake Qiupi, South Estuary.

To the east of the mouth of the Chuhu River, nearly 60 meters high Cockscomb Mountain, like a round big steamed bun, sits on the riverside.

The second company of the independent battalion, plus a platoon of the third company, and half a guard platoon, a total of more than 330 soldiers, are desperately building a defense site on Jiguan Mountain to prevent the Japanese army from entering Qiupi Lake.

The mountain is densely covered with jungles and towering trees, which is very suitable for hiding soldiers.

It's just that the frozen soil is like iron, and it is impossible to dig trenches, so we have to cut down trees, sawn up and stack, and build simple bomb shelters in the city.

The rest of the independent battalion was still urgently transporting the stored grain, guns, ammunition, drought mines, spare cotton jackets, medicinal herbs, and other materials to the east of the Pine Ridge area.

"Deputy battalion commander, what if the Japanese army ignores us, or only sends a force to besiege us, and the rest continue to rush into Qiupi Lake?"

When the Austro-Hungarian officer training team returned to Shanhaiguan, they took all the staff officers with them, and only You Dajiang, who had no staff officers, was left behind to become the acting deputy company commander of the second infantry company.

At this time, this tall Nanyang man, holding a hacksaw, sweating profusely, carried forward his failed staff instinct and guessed the actions of the Japanese army

Huang Bojie hesitated slightly, and ordered loudly: "I don't believe the corpses of those five Japanese scouts hanging on the tree, so they won't fight!" ”

"Boom, boom, boom-"

Not long after the bodies of the five Japanese scouts were hung from a few large trees on the hillside near the river, the roar of horses' hooves hitting the river was heard in the south.

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, the hearts of the more than 300 anti-Japanese soldiers who were in charge of the blocking mission jumped violently.

"All the ministries are in place!"

"All the ministries are in place!"

With the shouting of the platoon leader of the troop company, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army entered the position one after another, holding their guns and looking at the river below.

With 251 soldiers in the second infantry company, 53 soldiers in the fourth platoon of the third company, and 23 people in half a guard platoon led by Huang Bojie, they hurriedly built a simple line to block the enemy with the west slope of the Jiguan Mountain Linhe River as the main blocking point and the other three slopes as the flanks.

Originally, Luo Minglei was still counting on Shi Weiyuan, a 'smart star', to provide a plan to destroy the enemy with less and more with less.

In the thoughts of Luo Minglei and a group of officers of the independent battalion, it was nothing more than to use the mountains and jungles to fight guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army, and they kept stopping and stopping to lead the Japanese army in circles, dragging them down little by little, and eating away at the nearly 2,000 Japanese troops.

However, they obviously forgot that Shi Weiyuan, a fake showman, is a staff officer who is unwilling to be a 'unhappy and profitable', but willing to be a soldier on the battlefield and fighting to the death.

Underneath his crepe sourness, there is a wild and uninhibited iron-blooded heart with the tip of a gun against a sword.

Shi Weiyuan's plan was simple, straightforward and crude.

It was with the dense jungle of Jiguan Mountain that they stubbornly defended the attack, while the rest of the troops were wandering around the periphery to contain it, and at the mouth of the Qiupi River, they fought a decisive battle with the Japanese army Kurihanhara.

Originally, Luo Minglei and Huang Bojie were still a little hesitant, afraid that the Japanese army would reinforce them, or directly pull in deadly artillery to bombard Jiguan Mountain.

was easily dispelled by Shi Weicheng in a few words: "The Japanese army captured the Nine Gates and Shimen Village, and the next step is to attack Shanhaiguan in general, and then directly attack Yanjing, how can there be any artillery and reinforcements to come here for nothing?" Now our independent battalion is racing against time, and we can defeat this group of tails as soon as possible in order to assist the main force of the North Wing City; Turn the ravine, then go to that year and month? ”

The young man's bloody and sharp nature made the generals of the independent battalion finally choose Shi Weicheng's unbelievable combat plan, which seemed to be a needle-to-needle and a tough one.

"Boom, boom, boom-"

The sound of horses' hooves roared gradually from far to near, and soon, at the bend of the river about a mile ahead, a group of Japanese cavalry drove their horses forward.

"Yu—"

"Qing Army! It is the banner of the Qing army! ”

"Yaga, finally caught them! See where they want to flee this time? ”

From a distance, I saw that on the hill near the mouth of the river in front, an eye-catching red flag was tied high on the top of the mountaintop tree, waving in the wind.

The Japanese cavalry pulled their armistice horses one after another, and their mouths were full of excited shouts.

On this cold day, he was driven to the deep mountains and old forests to eat and sleep in the open air, which is not a stomach of resentment, and now he sees the scarlet banner of the anti-Japanese army, and suddenly has a hope of seeing out of the sea of suffering.

"Look——, what's that? Yaga! ”

Suddenly, a Japanese cavalryman pointed to the mountainside to the west of the river and shouted angrily, "These bastards! ”

The Japanese cavalry on the river, looking in the direction of the finger of the scolding cavalryman, saw the corpses of five imperial soldiers, which were erected on the branches of the big trees on the mountainside near the river.

"Yaga, a soldier of the Empire! This group of clear dogs, all damn it! ”

"Baga, you must disembowel them all and throw them on the mountain to feed the wild wolves!"

"Snow shame!"

All the Japanese cavalry changed color one after another, and they cursed loudly in their mouths.

"These clear dogs, they must be broken into pieces!"

Captain Tatsunosuke Kobayashi, the leader of the 1st Cavalry Squadron, pulled the war horse, and the new hatred and old hatred and the humiliation in front of him all came to his heart, and his eyes were blood-red like a wild dog that had gone crazy.

"Captain, go and destroy this group of clear dogs; Please give it an order! ”

Second Lieutenant Genichiro Minami, the leader of the third cavalry squad, took out the oriental sword that had been handed down from his waist, rode on the war horse in anger, and roared with his sword.

"Captain, please order!"

More than 130 soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Squadron of the Japanese Army raised their rifles in their hands with blood-red eyes.
