In the early morning of the next day, the area around Lianshan was filled with fog, and in the vast white fog, the westward allied forces began to burn fires and cook. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than 30 scouts from the first, second, and fourth squads of the regiment's reconnaissance platoon had already ridden mules and horses pulling carts early and were disguised in the homespun clothes of the common people, and moved in the direction of Pulandian to reconnoitre.

And it was also in the early morning that the Japanese Second Army's Mountain Yuanzhi Division, with more than 15,000 troops, left Piziwo and went straight to Jinzhou City.

The captain of the 1st Brigade of the Tokyo Cavalry, Akiyama Yoshiya Shaosa, led a cavalry squadron and an infantry squadron, with a northward detachment of more than 400 troops, marching towards Pulandian, an important town on Fuzhou Avenue on the shore of Bohai Bay.

They will build a 'north' cordon and defense line there to block the Qing army that may be reinforced from Fuzhou and Yingkou.

At noon on the same day, the Qiushan detachment arrived at Tangjiabao on the east bank of the Dasha River, 40 miles northwest of Piziwo, and fetched water by the river for cooking and resting temporarily.

In the middle reaches of the Dasha River, the river is wide and shallow, and you can directly wade across the river without boats.

"Qing Army!"

At this time, the Japanese detachment, which was drinking horses and cooking by the river, suddenly saw a group of Qing troops wearing red training uniforms riding out from the bend of the hill on the opposite bank.

The Japanese troops in the east of the river shouted in shock as they rushed towards the pile of Murata rifles stacked together.

"Waiyi, Waiyi!"

The Qing cavalry on the other bank, and at the same time saw a large area of Japanese infantry on the left bank of the river, all shouting and losing their faces.

"Bang, bang—"

Across the Dasha River, which is 60 or 70 meters wide and about 1 meter deep, gunfire erupted from both sides of the Dasha River.

"Infantry cross the river and attack, annihilate them!"

Seeing that there were only a dozen cavalry soldiers on the other side of the river, Akiyama Yoshiya immediately drew the Oriental sword on his waist and ordered the infantry to wade across the river to attack.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Zhao Huaiye, the cavalry team responsible for advancing eastward to find the main force of the reinforcement army, saw that the Japanese army was strong, and immediately issued an order to retreat, fleeing in the direction of Jinzhou in the west.

In the Akiyama Valley on the east bank of the Dasha River, seeing this group of Qing troops fleeing on horseback, they were suffering from the fact that their cavalry had not crossed the river, so they had to order the Japanese infantry who had already crossed the river to stop the pursuit and burn a fire on the opposite bank to cook.

"There's a war!"

At the bend of the Qilijia River in the east of Tangjiabao, several vanguard soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the Korean reinforcement army were hurrying away on mules and horses in pairs of horses, when they heard a gunshot in front of them.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon were all taken aback, and then they were overjoyed and drove their mules and horses to speed up towards the Dasha River.

-- Everyone has been running hard for seven or eight days, and the soles of their feet are full of big blisters, and I can be regarded as meeting you today.

After having lunch on the banks of the Dasha River and resting for a while, the cavalry squadron found a shallow place to cross the Dasha River.

Then the whole army marched up the west bank of the river, aiming at the town of Pulandian, sixty miles to the northwest, on the east bank of the Bohai Bay.

After a forced march of nearly six hours, the Akiyama detachment bypassed Erlong Mountain at eight o'clock in the evening.

Ten miles to the north, Pulandian is bathed in a quiet night, with only sporadic lights and the faint barking of dogs.

The Bohai Pulandian Bay in the west of Pulandian is sparkling in the moonlight, like endless snowflakes and broken silver.

Akiyama Haogu stood on a high slope and watched for a while, a gust of west wind blew, and the wind carried the slightly fishy smell of Bohai Bay in the Qing Inland Sea, which fascinated Akiyama Haogu.

"The whole army stopped and camped, and the fire was forbidden, and the silence was silenced; At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will storm the Pulan shop. ”

Akiyama Yoshiya didn't know if there were Qing troops in Pulandian Town, and how many Qing troops there were, but none of this was within his consideration.

Because in Akiyama Yoshiya's opinion, since the Imperial Army of Pulandian is bound to win, then tomorrow morning, the banner of the Empire will inevitably be planted on the low lump city wall of Pulandian.

At this time, in the thick night, the Hao Tiansheng battalion of the Korean army, the cavalry team of the Guards, the Yin Desheng battalion of the Renzi army, the Shengjun Qu Decheng a sentry horse team, plus two Shengjun cavalry battalions, the whole army has a total of more than 1,700 troops, holding torches high, and went straight to Pulandian non-stop.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after the troops arrived at Tang's house, they rested for a while, and then split into two.

The infantry continued to march north along the east bank of the Dasha River, where they would cross the river at Jing'ergou upstream, then move westward, cross the Anzi River, and stealthily enter the fortified city through the north gate of Pulandian.

The cavalry marched overnight to Longtan Temple, ten miles east of Erlong Mountain, and quietly lurked, waiting to be stabbed in the back from the Japanese army.

The engineering squadron and science and technology section of the Korean aid army rode more than 70 Hetao war horses transferred from the Sheng Army's cavalry camp and rushed to Dalian Bay overnight from the path.

The landlord of the Tang family is fifteen miles, Zhangjiatun on the south bank of the sandwich river, and the garrison of the allied forces of the Qing Dynasty westward.

In the undulating and desolate ravines, there are piles of bonfires everywhere, reflecting the stars in the sky.

HE Changying, LIN Yunyu, WU Weiyang, LV Shuncheng, HUO Guotao,――

A group of company-level generals of the military camp for the aid of Korea gathered around a big bonfire to discuss the military situation.

Li Zhenhua, commander of the Third Infantry Battalion, and Qi Youwei, a staff officer, who only returned to the unit at nearly night, squeezed Li Bohu in the middle, and complained in a low voice with guns and sticks.

It's not Li Zhenhua who complained, Li Bohu fought four battles on the Yalu River defense line, but they were good and pretended to be devil soldiers all the way.

Jiroku Nishida and two soldiers of the Korean reinforcement army who had a rough understanding of the Japanese army entered the prisoner of war camp and began to select some Japanese soldiers who cherished their lives and longed for peace, so as to prepare for the future reinforcement of the Japanese army.

Once selected as the seeds of the Japanese army, they will enter the new military camp in Dagu with Nishida to learn the "Scream" and some great principles of Asian co-prosperity and coexistence.

The generals of the Sheng Army, Jiang Zikang, Pan Jinshan, and Jiang Muchen, were invited by a large landowner in Zhangjiatun to eat and drink in the garden.

"The Golden State Must Lose;"

He Changying looked at the generals and said: "If Li Hongzhang has the courage to transfer all the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division to Dalian Bay; The shore-based fort resisted the Japanese combined fleet outside the bay, and the warships in the bay arranged the Monk Island artillery to point at Jinzhou City, and the Lushun troops were dispatched to Dalian. ”

Speaking of this, He Changying sighed regretfully and said: "It's a pity that Li Hongzhang didn't dare, and the generals of the Beiyang Navy Division didn't dare!" ”

"Don't dare to put yourself in the place of death and then live, but escape everywhere, when there is no escape and no escape, that is their real tragedy, and it is also the regret of my Chinese millennium!"

He Changying's face was gloomy, and her heart was full of helplessness.

This time, he forcibly annexed the 6,000 Sheng army and sent it back to Jinjing, and he didn't know what kind of uproar and vigilance it would cause.

But He Changying had no choice, otherwise he would not have enough troops and confidence to fight this southern Liaoning resistance battle.

He Changying's previous idea was ideal and simple, that is, to block and delay the Japanese army along the way for a period of time, so that the people of Jinzhou and Lushun would have time to escape.

However, it was only later that He Changying gradually figured out that this brigade was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and unless the battle line could be stable for a long time, no ship would dare to risk death.

And the people of the Golden Brigade have no escape.
