He believes that "the Qing horse team (bandits) must be used, but it cannot be used." ”

Bandits are familiar with geography and have connections, and they can easily get the support of the local people, and they can take advantage of their familiarity with local customs and the characteristics of the terrain and landform to carry out intelligence reconnaissance, espionage, and other sabotage activities.

And the large number of people can support the momentum, so that the people of the country can not figure out the strength of the army, after all, the appearance of the people of the two countries is almost the same, separated by some distance, everyone is mixed and galloping on the horse, with the thick branches and leaves of Lao Maozi, they don't know how many Japanese troops there are.

"It can send our cavalry as the core to break through to the enemy's rear, with the name of 'advance team', which is extremely mobile and not subject to any restrictions, and any enemy facility is its target.

Its combat mission was mainly to cut off the lines of communication, mainly to blow up railway bridges, pick up railroad tracks, destroy telephone poles, attack baggage, and attack military mail. ”

Together with the Qing horse team (bandits), the number does not need to be large, but it is advisable to advance in multiple ways. ”

Yokoyama wrote: "...... Our army's breakthrough into the enemy's communication line is easy to create the illusion of the Lu Guoren, who think that our cavalry will assault in multiple directions, contain the enemy with fewer troops, and reduce the pressure on the main force in the battle."

Then he wrote a plan, planning to use materials, arms, and money to recruit and train local bandits to fight the Russian army.

……

When Gentaro Kodama saw the report, he thought that the plan was good, and the instructions were carried out, and he sent Nakanosuke Hanada and Yokoyama Shaosa on an errand together.

Hanada Nakanosuke was a junior in the Japanese General Staff, who had disguised himself as a wandering monk and spied on intelligence in northeastern China long before the Russo-Japanese War. He learned to speak fluent Northeast dialect and became familiar with bandits from all over the country, and the bandits called him "Lord Hua".

Speaking of which, Hana-sama and Yokoyama Shaosa are comrades, and they both believe that bandits must be vigorously used, but the two have different concepts.

Hanada Nakanosuke was obsessed with vigorously forming bandits into formed troops and becoming the "Imperial Cooperative Army" to fight and reduce the pressure on the main force.

But Yokoyama Shaosa thinks that the bandits are useless, and he has a factual basis for this.

When he was running errands in Taiwan, he also organized the local people in Taiwan to serve as the emperor's army, but it turned out that their combat effectiveness was very poor and they could not fight tough battles.

It's okay to deal with the enemy's stragglers, but don't even think about dealing with the vicious old Maozi!

Qing people are the right way to use being a policeman and shouting at the good people twice.

According to Yokoyama Shaozuo's idea, to deal with Lao Maozi, we have to rely on the Japanese cavalry troops, entrainment bandits, bandits can increase their momentum, complete some secondary tasks, after all, it is impossible to do everything by the Japanese army, this is the best way to use.

However, Yokoyama did not object to Hanada Nakanosuke's approach, after all, the front line was tight, and the more troops were sent to the rear of the Rukuni, the more the strength of the Japanese army on the front line would be weakened, and there was a great danger that the Japanese army would go deep behind enemy lines.

Everyone plays cavalry, Yokoyama Shaozo is not confident, he doesn't think that his own cavalry can play with the Cossack cavalry, people are a nation on horseback, but they are already eating balls and eating fish, if they bite the Cossack cavalry, their own cavalry is in danger!

It's not a pity that those bandits die a lot, and if the army dies too much, it's easy to be attacked, so let Hanada Nakanosuke share the pressure.

So the two went their separate ways.

……

Hanada Nakanosuke took the lead, and he arrived at Phoenix City (Fengcheng City, Dandong, Liaoning) with a huge amount of military expenses and 5,000 rifles.

He pulled up the banner with red letters on a white background, wrote "Manchurian Righteous Army", and sent heroic stickers (beards, bandits) to the locks (beards, bandits) everywhere, and held a heroic banquet to meet the heroes of the world!

I heard that Lord Hua was going to recruit troops, and for a while, the bandits who were familiar with him swarmed like flies.

There are "an iron whip", "flying on the grass", "mountain wind", "starry sky" and so on, and the brigade gathers. These bandits wore all kinds of clothes, including rural clothes, city clothes, Japanese military uniforms, and Russian military clothes, just like rural gatherings.

The weapons brought are even more varied, including rifles, sabers, swords, guillotines, firearms, and even a few Qinglong Glaive knives with a Guan formula.

The black words of the rivers and lakes filled Phoenix, and the whole city became a city of bandits for a while.

Hanada Nakanosuke treated him warmly, and according to the number of men and horses and guns owned by the arriving bandits, he was given corresponding treatment, issued guns and ammunition, and also issued a letter of appointment, appointing them to organize men and horses in their hometowns and prepare to do great things in the rear of the Russian army.

The bandits got a silver dollar from Hanada Nakanosuke, a hard currency, but it's not a military ticket!

One by one, the bandits patted their chests, packed their mouths and said that they would not strip off Lao Maozi's underwear when they went back, and swore not to come to see Lord Hua。。。 It soon became clear to Nakanosuke Hanada that what they said was right and that no one had come to see him!

……

Of course, Hanada Nakanosuke didn't do Kaizi, he set out to train bandits from all walks of life, and the Japanese army instructor taught them to use fast guns, and he spent a lot of money to supply the bandits with fast guns that were rifles.

Also learn to use tools, destroy railroad tracks, use explosives, blow up roads and bridges.

Then there are intelligence reconnaissance, writing reports and other spy acts.

He had high expectations and urged the bandits to be very strict, after all, he had made a military order, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent, and if he messed up, he would have to go to see his Amaterasu.

It took a lot of effort to organize tens of thousands of bandits (only 3,000 of them actually arrived, and the rest was, Hanada Nakanosuke was full of hope and sent them away one by one, expecting them to make some amazing achievements to show him and serve the Japanese Empire.

However, he was disappointed, and as the days passed, he did not see any earth-shattering news from the bandits.

It's like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is not even a response.

In the end, he couldn't hold back and personally went into battle to supervise the battle.

……

In the winter of December 1904, Hanada Nakanosuke crossed the battle line and arrived at Siping (the area between Liaoyang and Harbin, which was controlled by Russia), and found the bandit "Mantianxing" department that he had strongly sponsored before.

There were a total of 500 guns in the sky, and when they saw the arrival of the good money boy, they were also enthusiastic, and immediately prepared to go out to break the battle against the Russian army's communication lines, focusing on the four flat sections of the Russian "Eastern Eastern Railway". (Middle Eastern Railway: a railway built by Tsarist Russia in the northeast, including Changchun to Dalian, Siping in the middle)

Hanada Nakanosuke muttered, why did you go earlier?

Unexpectedly, before the start of the move, the Russian army suddenly arrived!

Thousands of Cossack cavalrymen rushed to the village, wearing pointed hats and brandishing sabers.

They didn't even shoot their guns, and Hanada was overjoyed!

He taught the bandits how to use a fast gun, and killed the Cossacks with a gun!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the gun rang out, the bandits scattered as birds and beasts, and fled like rabbits, fleeing into the dense forest, not daring to turn back.

Hanada did not give up, caught up with a few leaders, and agreed to meet in a small village on the north side of the mountain in a week to do big things.

To Hanada's infuriation, none of the bandits who had received guns and silver dollars went, and returned to their respective mountains to regain their reign.

Then he found a familiar beard in his neighborhood, and when he scolded Mantianxing for being garbage, people laughed and said: "Mantianxing has already taken refuge in Lao Qiang (Russians), and he wants to attack Lao Qiang's railway to show you, and if he doesn't catch you to give Lao Qiang a greeting gift, it's worth it!" ”

Ya whole two ends to eat, the feeling is to give money and thank him for not killing, Hanada Nakanosuke: "......"
