On the battlefield, Nogi is an out-and-out fool and a defeated general, but outside the battlefield, he is not a martial artist who only knows how to shout and kill. Although he relied on the trade to obtain the support of the new army of Wuyi, thus ending the crucial battle of the 203rd Highland before Kodama arrived, the overall Japanese army suffered huge casualties, the command was sluggish, and the problems of outdated tactics were also revealed. Nogi understands that his situation is not as safe as Mount Tai, on the contrary, the opponent is inciting some war survivors to personally attack him, if the atmosphere in the court is unfavorable, not only will he have no honor, but even whether he can get out of the country is between the two.

Nogi did not sit still, he secretly contacted some colleagues in the Ministry of War and passed the responsibility for the command mistakes to the chief of staff, Chikosuke Iji, who was soon notified that he was demoted to the commander of the Lushun fortress, and at the same time ordered Nogi Noshinori to lead the Third Army north to reinforce and participate in the battle between the main Japanese army and the main Russian army. Nogi Noshinori was lucky enough to betray his subordinates, and just as he was secretly rejoicing, a thunderbolt from the sky stunned him and his friends.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the 22nd Wing of the 11th Division of our Army and the Volunteers have fought, they have exchanged fire, the Wing Commander has rushed there, but there is no ceasefire."

"Baga, what's the matter, isn't it an order, isn't the Chinese area in Lushun managed by the Volunteers?" Nogi was still in a very comfortable mood just now, and was immediately knocked off the clouds by this news.

"Your Excellency, our troops did not enter the Chinese area, and the exchange of fire took place in the Russian-populated area."

"Huh? That's the case, then you can report the situation in detail. ”

"The 22nd Wing is responsible for clearing the Russian shipyard staff quarters in Longtang today, and there are several hundred Qing slaves working for the Russians in the shipyard. Originally, the wing commander let the squadrons dispose of it on their own, and it went well, but the Kudo squadron drove a part of the Qing slaves to a pond near the Chinese area for assassination training, but I didn't expect those Zhina, oh, those volunteers rushed to hear the news, they shot and killed two of our military Cao, and the Kudo squadron also fired back, but the other side mobilized light machine guns and grenadiers, and the Kudo squadron was forced to retreat to the dormitory area. ”

"So the other side fired first, but how many of them participated in the firefight?" Nogi was also depressed, and was forced to sign a pact with this damned profiteer, advancing the spoils that should have belonged to their Third Army, and now they dared to exchange fire with the Third Army. Kodama Gentaro was also very curious about these mysterious Qing allies, and was surprised to hear that they dared to take the lead in firing, and couldn't help but ask first.

"Well, it looks like there's a squad, no more than fifty people anyway."

"Yaga, there are at least one hundred and fifty people in your squadron, and three times the strength is still being pressed and beaten by the other side, did Kudo Nakama grow up eating grass?" At this moment, even the chief of staff of the Third Army, Chikosuke Iji, who was still relatively reserved, couldn't help it and scolded him. "Go and let your brigade commander Namiya Jiro go to the scene to deal with it, it will simply lose the face of our army."

"Why don't I go to the scene to have a look, after all, it is still relatively rare for Qing people to be able to defeat three with one." Kodama Gentaro is still curious and admired for the Qing Dynasty powerhouse who helped Nogi, a reckless man, get out of trouble.

In the end, we might as well turn the clock forward a bar and a half and look at the scene that happened more than an hour ago. The Wuyi New Army occupied the Chinese area at the foot of the mountain outside the port as agreed, and two outposts of the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Standard set up barricades at the entrance of the Chinese area, on the one hand, to inspect the fleeing Russian troops, and on the other hand, to guard against the Japanese army entering the Chinese area to do evil. However, the Japanese army may have received strict orders from their superiors, and they actually obeyed the agreement after the battle, and drove the remaining hundreds of old and weak people from the surrounding villages into the Chinese area, apparently hoping to occupy this area for a long time.

The soldiers of the second sentry team, who were on duty that day, suddenly heard a cry and wail in Chinese, and they did not notice anything unusual in their precinct, but soon this wailing turned into a terrible scream. The officers and soldiers also found out that the original sound came from the Longtang area where the Russians lived opposite, but because of the barrier of the house, they could not find anything, a non-commissioned officer named Liu Jiaxing climbed a tall elm tree, and then he saw a scene that was still fresh in his memory until he died 60 years later, and clearly recorded in his diary that he saw the tragedy that occurred in a pond in the Russian villa area less than 100 meters away.

"I climbed up the big tree and immediately saw a pond not far from me, surrounded by two-story bungalows. There were many Japanese soldiers in black uniforms standing by the pond, and they had driven a group of refugees into the pond, and an old lady who did not want to go into the water was cut off with a long knife by a Cao Chang on the spot, and fell to the ground and immediately remained motionless. Soon the pond was filled with people. Seeing the refugees in the water, they already knew that a catastrophe was coming, but they were still begging the Japanese army to let them go. The Japanese soldiers by the pond walked around very casually, some with guns, some with bayonets on guns, and in a short time killed seven or eight civilians. Soon they seemed to be going to allow some people to go ashore, and a few strong men dragged their families to squeeze away from the others, and hurriedly climbed up the gentle slope left by the Japanese, and did not stop nodding to the Japanese soldiers. But the Japanese soldiers did not say anything, just drove them to the willow tree by the pond with the butt of the gun, and then hit the ground with the butt of the gun, dragged up and tied to the willow tree one by one, and then several Japanese soldiers who looked like new soldiers began to stab those strong men according to the stabbing action under the guidance of the military Cao, and the men who could not die for a while struggled desperately, but were soon stabbed to death. Their family was surrounded by a group of soldiers, stabbed with bayonets, and fell to the ground covered in blood before being kicked back into the pond. From time to time, several men and women in the prime of life were dragged out of the pond and fell to their knees on the edge of the pond, and an officer seemed to show his sword book, and cut off the heads of these civilians one by one, and the heads were grunted all over the ground, and the corpses were picked up by the soldiers with bayonets and thrown back into the pond. In the pond, the severed heads, the bullets, the knife wounds, the abdomen were broken, and the water turned red. The Japanese soldiers were laughing and shouting on the sidelines, and they were very happy. Soon only a few living people remained in the pond, crawling over the dead bodies, covered in blood. One of the women, holding a small child in her arms, surfaced and made a poignant plea to the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers on the shore actually stabbed them with bayonets and pierced them in the chest. The second time he stabbed the child, and with a bayonet, the child was stabbed against the bayonet, and he raised his gun high and shook it a few times, as if it were something to play with. The woman had collapsed in the pond, not yet stabbed to death, and she wanted to get up and look at the child, but she struggled a little and then fell down again. The Japanese soldiers dragged the woman up and cut her into several pieces, as they had done to slaughter others, and her child had already been removed from the bayonet, beheaded, and thrown to the other side of the pond. ”

Liu Jiaxing, who couldn't bear it anymore, picked up his beloved "precision Qin crossbow" and put the Japanese officer who was holding a long knife and cut off people's heads into the cross mirror, and finally the moment he wiped the blade, a steel-core bullet was instantly discharged, penetrating his bald head, and a beautiful blood flower burst out from the temple on the other side, and half of the skull and red and white contents that exploded in an instant splashed on the land that had just been stained red by the blood of the common people. Several Japanese soldiers noticed the officer's abnormality, and then they began to look for a target, and Liu Jiaxing, who slipped down the tree after shooting, dodged several bullets that passed by. The New Army soldiers at their outpost found out about the situation, and the sentry commander ordered everyone to hurry into the fortifications, and the machine guns and grenadiers were quickly put into position. As soon as Liu Jiaxing came and said a few words to the sentry commander, he had just seen the Japanese army abusing and killing the civilians, and the Japanese soldiers of the squadron rushed out of the villa area, and without saying a word, they began to shoot the new troops in the fortifications.

The sentry commander Meng Qingfeng did not hesitate to order the soldiers to return fire, the Japanese army thought that these Qing people did not dare to fight back, but they were caught off guard, in front of the combination of grenadiers and machine guns, the Japanese soldiers with only golden hook rifles obviously did not have much chance of winning. The suppressed Japanese army hurriedly called other soldiers of the same squadron, and the first battalion of the C post was patrolling, the commander of the C post quickly gathered his troops and sent the soldiers to inform the general seat, seeing their own casualties of the soldiers, it was easy to arouse the same hatred of the enemy, the two sides quickly turned from barge fire to street fighting, if it was not for the Japanese side of the joint commander to stop it, the bold lieutenants had even dragged two 75 mountain guns, intending to storm the checkpoint in the Chinese area.

Meng Qingfeng discussed with the commander of the C post, and solemnly arranged the tactics, the first post continued to hold the position, and the C post took advantage of the main force of the Japanese army to be attracted to the checkpoint, punched holes from the wall, bypassed the pond, on the one hand, to see if there was a live mouth that could be saved, on the other hand, occupied those villas, fired from the commanding heights on the side, formed crossfire, and strangled the Japanese army that was constantly increasing. Perhaps carried away by hatred, the Japanese squadron never found that a group of Chinese ** people detoured their flanks and used the Japanese army's habitual roundabout attack tactics to pay tribute to the opponent. Although seventy or eighty people in the pond had died on the spot, a girl who had died was only hit by a bullet in the shoulder and fainted under the body of an adult, and in the shallow water on the shore, she was still breathing and was found and rescued by the soldiers, becoming the only survivor of the Longtang tragedy.

The relenting Sentry quickly occupied three villas near the main road, machine guns, rifles, and grenadiers, and the Japanese were also blessed. Facts have proved that the treatment that Lao Maozi can't enjoy is given in vain like a little devil, and the Japanese troops of a squadron were beaten with all kinds of meat and eight vegetarians, and the remaining arms and legs were relatively alive and quickly retreated, occupied several Russian western-style buildings and began to shoot at the Wuyi New Army, and in the absence of sniper rifles and grenadiers, it was obviously a loss to shoot at the Wuyi New Army, or the Japanese officers would not have forcibly pulled out the mountain artillery of the wing artillery in the case of superior forces, and planned to carry out a strong artillery attack, but they did not know that the new army did not suffer a lossThe four infantry guns of the battalion machine gun team were also pulled into the villa area and ambushed, once the Japanese opened fire, these four guns would definitely be able to violently dismantle the two mountain guns.

The commanders and soldiers on both sides are rushing to the area where the fire is exchanged, and it seems that a Sino-Japanese war is imminent, but the lives of the more than 10,000 ordinary people gathered in the Chinese area are innocent.
