The Japanese artillery position of Huazipo, two miles to the east, Feijiagou.

"These Japanese soldiers are so cautious!"

Luo Minglei handed the telescope to Reinhard, and his mouth was not full of taste.

At first, they had a hearty fight in Changshan Temple Bay, but now they are hungry wolves squatting in the old forest, and they can only drool and watch other comrades fighting in the heat.

"There is no chance, keep waiting."

Luo Minglei, Reinhard and a few officers slowly retreated down the hill, stood up at the bottom of the slope, took out a crumpled cigarette case and lit one: "At least I can't fight today, and I don't have any chance, go back and cook." ”

From the early morning before dawn, when the Japanese army began to move, the independent battalion ran all the way over and lurked for three or four hours, but when the East and West Luo Cities were most dangerous, no fireworks were fired from the North Wing City.

"Could it be that we have been exposed, now that there is chaos outside the pass, and it is a cold winter approaching the end of the year, it stands to reason that there should be no mountain people near here."

Shi Weicheng said suspiciously: "But these days, the vigilant soldiers have seen the figures of the mountain people in costume several times from a distance. ”

"The team was evacuated immediately; Wu Junma, your reconnaissance platoon is responsible for arresting and interrogating, but if it is really an ordinary mountain person, don't be embarrassed. ”

With the issuance of Luo Minglei's order, the 583 soldiers of the independent battalion on standby here quickly disappeared into the jungle and mountains.

The sun is shining and the cold wind is blowing.

Soon, in the seaside mountains and forests not far northeast, three men dressed as local mountain people and holding earthen guns stood on the beach and lit dry tobacco bags one by one.

"It's a pity, otherwise it would be a great achievement!"

A big man in a bearskin jacket spit out a mouthful of sticky phlegm: "The bad old man has been lying on his stomach for so long!" ”

These bandits had been looking for the independent battalion since they had lost it two days ago, and when they heard the sound of artillery this morning, they ran over to watch the battle, and they were pleasantly surprised to find the soldiers of the independent battalion.

Because the independent battalion was on the east and west lines, and a long guard post was placed, these three people did not dare to forcibly break through and report to Taijun.

But they are all lying here, thinking of finding an opportunity to sneak over to report the news, and then there will be a large sum of silver and rifles promised by Taijun.

As soon as the fighting stopped, these cunning rabbits slipped away!

"Lao Jiu, Lao Eleven will not lose them, find their nest, and just report to the Japanese Yi to wrap their dumplings."

Another old man dressed as a scribe said grimly: "When you have guns, you must kill all these Qing demons, Meng demons, and those sweat dogs who help in the abuse!" ”

"And the foreign demons!"

The big man in the bearskin jacket spat out a puff of smoke in his mouth, and his face was fierce: "If you want to kill him, the blood will flow like a river, and it will be clean!" ”

"Let's go, let's go to the contact point first and wait for Lao Jiu."

As the words fell, the three of them turned around and headed north, disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Soon, in a forest about 300 meters to the east, two soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army wearing Western-style military uniforms quietly stood up.

"Two boxes of Pinhai, don't forget."

Wang Yitong looked at his partner Wang Xinliang obliquely, and the little tender melon baby made a bet with his brother, which was simply a free benefit.

"Brother Wang, how do you know that there are still people?"

Wang Xinliang, a reconnaissance recruit from the independent battalion, was convinced and curious.

Being able to be looked at by Xiucai with this kind of eyes, Wang Yitong, who didn't know a single big word, was very happy, and boasted with the corners of his mouth: "Since I am the best hunter, of course I can see it." ”

If a shrewd person who knows the world hears this, of course he will not believe it, and if he encounters a sharp mouth, he will ask rhetorically: "Is this person the same thing as hunting, and can a beast use this strategy?" Fool the ghost! ”

However, dealing with Wang Xinliang's kindergarten is obviously very useful.

"Brother Wang, you are so amazing!"

Wang Xinliang's face was full of admiration.

"Huh."

Wang Yitong thought to himself, can I tell you that I was a spy of the Holy Sect?

That's dead and you can't say it.

Wang Yitong joined the Holy Sect four years ago, and at that time he was also deeply attracted by those beautiful propaganda, and he also killed many officers and soldiers.

But when those people picked up the butcher's knife and slashed at women, children and children, Wang Yitong's thinking began to change.

Later, Nie Shicheng and Jiang Zikang encircled and suppressed the Holy Sect by the Beiyang Army, and after they were separated, Wang Yitong was exiled to Jinzhou and became a well-known hunter.

Then he was captured by the Japanese army, and after seeing the ferocity of the Japanese army, Wang Yitong, who was a Chinese, joined the independent battalion without hesitation and became a scout.

"Let's go, tell the platoon commander; Phew, Qing Demon——, ahem-"

Wang Yitong suddenly coughed violently in a low voice: "These dog traitors! ”

His original words were originally 'Although the Qing Demon is hateful, these guys who take refuge in the Japanese and report the news are not a good thing.' ’

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and when the words came to his lips, he shrank back.

Shanhaiguan City, Shouwei's Mansion.

"392 people were killed and 91 seriously wounded in the battle of Dongluo City, 438 people were killed and 107 seriously wounded in Xiluo City, 386 people were killed and 69 people were seriously wounded in the North Wing City; The Thunder Army lost 137 people killed and 29 were seriously wounded, the Lu Army lost 164 people and 35 people were seriously wounded, the Shanhaiguan City Garrison Battalion killed 11 people and 9 people seriously wounded, the Ludong Army killed 12 people and seriously wounded 6 people, and the Jiesheng Battalion killed 13 people and seriously wounded 5 people. ——”

As Feng Guozhang read out a long list of casualty figures, the originally cheerful atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became solemn.

The 7,000 elite soldiers in the three cities outside the Guanguan lost nearly 1,500 troops after a battle this morning; The Shanhaiguan armies lost a total of nearly 2,000 troops.

"Dongluo City fought very well, and it has been pressing the Japanese on the city wall and unable to go up to the wall in large numbers, and half of the losses were caused by artillery raids, and half of them were generated in gunfights with the Japanese people; Seventy percent of the losses of Xiluo City were shelled, and the recruits were like headless flies when they encountered artillery bombardment, and the main force of the counterattack still relied on the anti-Japanese army; ”

Today, Feng Guozhang was finally able to give full play to the wisdom of his military staff, and talked about it carefully and analyzed:

"Before the humiliation, I specially asked He Junmen for detailed data, 141 people were killed and 33 were seriously injured in the anti-Japanese army in the North Wing City, 56 people were killed and 4 people were seriously injured in Dongluo City, and in Xiluo City, 189 people were killed and 32 people were seriously injured, which is greater than the loss of defending the North Wing City." Speaking of this, Feng Guozhang couldn't help but look at He Changying with admiration, it wasn't this general who was eight or nine years younger than himself, he didn't dare to say it in Dongluo City today, Xiluo City was doomed.

"Brother He Gaoyi!"

Although he is very familiar with He Changying and has a good relationship, Xu Bangdao still stood up and thanked him very seriously.

It's not He Changying, it is estimated that she has either died in battle, or she is going to be locked in prison by the imperial court.

And he will be scolded by the world and stink for thousands of years.

Thinking about it, Xu Bangdao couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Brother Xu is polite, you and I are in Luocheng, Shanhaiguan, one is prosperous and one is lost, how can there be a reason not to save when you die."

He Changying hurriedly returned the salute and replied very seriously.

"Well said!"

Nie Shicheng, Tang Renlian, Wang Liansan——

The generals all praised loudly.

I can't help but praise it, it's not this kid, if you lose the city outside the gate, everyone will suffer.

"Yawn—"

Bai Ji was hungry from morning to morning, and he didn't take a puff of cigarettes, and his tears flowed straight down his nose.

Nie Shicheng saw that even Bai Ji was working hard today, so he smiled and said to Bai Ji with an understanding smile: "Captain Bai Shouwei will go and suck a bag first, and after sucking it, he will have a celebration banquet." ”

"Then I'll smoke a bag of dry tobacco first!"

As Tang Renlian's words came out, the hall laughed.

"The Fourth Wing lost 291 killed and 37 were seriously wounded, the Sixteenth Wing lost 435 killed and 78 were seriously wounded, and the Imperial lost 726 and 115 were seriously wounded, with a total loss of 841."

With the report of Hayashi Fangtaro Shaozuo's data, the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army in Madian was depressed.
