"The ministries were immediately in place; Clear the landslide, collect guns and ammunition, warhorses come up, and corpses are thrown a little further downhill. ”

With Huang Bojie's order, the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army in each squad and platoon endured the panic in their hearts and the exhaustion of their bodies, and cheered up and acted quickly.

"Deputy battalion commander, if we can pass this level, we should build a circle of horse-rejecting piles on the landslide, so that even if the Japanese infantry passes through the landslide and forcibly rushes up, they will be blocked by the horse-rejecting pile."

You Dajiang, the deputy commander of the second company, had blood-red eyes when he spoke, and his voice couldn't stop trembling slightly.

Beginning yesterday afternoon, the troops worked hard all the way from Paozuizi to Qiupi Lake, and before they could set up camp by the lake, they were ordered to enter Jiguan Mountain.

The team carried food, ammunition, tents overnight, and climbed the cockscomb mountain.

I moved back and forth three or four times, and all of them were tired and out of strength, and the chilblains on my hands and feet were even more cracked and bloody.

Then, as soon as everyone drank a bowl of hot ginger soup, they lit a bonfire, planted dry mines on the mountain, made horse traps, sawed down trees, built bunkers and landslides on the top of the mountain, and repaired the camping camp on the top of the mountain.

I was busy until almost five o'clock in the second half of the night before I started to sleep.

As a result, after sleeping for less than two hours, he was forcibly woken up, and began to burn snow water for cooking in a drowsy manner, and continued to arrange the hilltop position.

Then came the bloody battle, more than 330 soldiers, with nearly 50 casualties of their own, finally bravely repelled the attack of the Japanese cavalry.

However, before he could take a breath, thousands of Japanese infantry came to the south.

This is simply not to let people live, not to die in battle, but also to survive to death, the rhythm of exhaustion!

"The mistake of the Japanese cavalry was that they did not understand that in this kind of snowy jungle mountain warfare, the assault role of cavalry was far inferior to that of infantry."

Fan Wenbin, the commander of the military law, had a resolute face: "Even if you fight the troops, you have to give the Japanese army a knife!" ”

"It's not that they don't understand, but the contempt of the Japanese army, so that the arrogant Japanese cavalry commander chose this battle plan; But with the bloody lesson just now, their commanders don't think they will be so stupid anymore, right? The battle below ——, will be a real bloody battle! ”

Huang Bojie looked at the Japanese army team that was about a mile away from Jiguan Mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think about reinforcements, the rest of the troops in the battalion are on their way back to transfer military funds; Everyone, for the sake of your oath and mine, for the glory of the anti-Japanese army, hold on to it! ”

"Hold on!"

The officers of the anti-Japanese army standing together all roared with resoluteness on their faces.

"Bang, bang, bang—"

At this time, a violent gunfire suddenly came from the south.

Huang Bojie, Hua Ruiyang, You Dajiang, and a group of officers of the independent battalion all stood on tiptoe in shock, stretched their necks, and looked towards the Jiujiang River in the south.

I saw that the vanguard of the Japanese army, which was marching on the river one mile to the south, quickly dispersed and rushed towards the west bank of the river.

Then he lay on the shore and raised his gun and shot at a ridge to the west.

"It's our team! Kill these dogs! ”

At this moment, the soldiers of the independent battalion at the top of the rooster comb mountain all roared in unison excitedly.

"Brothers, the cooks immediately stew horse meat, and the rest clean up the battlefield and make up for sleep and rest!"

After Huang Bojie issued the order, he strode to the south summit of Jiguan Mountain, and looked at the battle at the south river channel with a worried face.

"I don't know which group of soldiers, once that terrain is surrounded by Japanese troops, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Seeing that Hua Ruiyang and several people also came over to watch, Huang Bojie said solemnly: "You have to fight guerrillas while fighting, don't resist hard!" ”

At the foot of the Cockscomb Mountain.

Kimura Shige's eyes were blood-red, and he sat flat in a forest on the bank of the river, the Oriental sword with its sheath squared on his legs, waiting for the statistical battle report.

"Report to the captain, 181 soldiers were killed, 3 were seriously wounded, and 189 horses were lost."

Tatsunosuke Kobayashi walked up to Kimura Shige's face and reported in a low voice.

Kimura Shige, who listened to the battle report, closed his eyes tightly, and tears flowed down his cheeks again.

Because of his arrogance and stupidity, he lost half of the horses of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade of the Empire in this extremely failed battle.

It's really inredeemable!

The huge shame made Kimura Shige unable to open his eyes to face his subordinates, and even more shameless to face Nozu Michiguan and Yama Prefecture Aritomo.

"All the teams are to establish a defensive line on the bank of the river, and they must not move rashly, waiting for the arrival of Kuriya Daisa's team."

Kimura Shige's voice was hoarse and rough like a mouth full of sand.

"Hey!"

Before Tatsunosuke Kobayashi had taken two steps, he heard a voice in his ears that made his heart tremble.

He turned around suddenly with a pale face, only to see that under the sunlight in the forest, Shao Zuo pulled out the war knife in his hand, and the snowy blade flashed in the sunlight, stabbing his eyes with pain.

"Captain!"

Tatsunosuke Kobayashi shouted with horror on his face.

"Bell!"

The crisp sound of swords on the banks of the forest river immediately attracted the attention of all the Japanese cavalry.

"Captain!"

When they turned their heads to see this amazing scene, they all exclaimed in horror.

Kimura Shige's face was gloomy and he took out a white handkerchief and slowly wiped the sharp blade of the Oriental sword.

"Dongxian Ridge, Hushan Jiangzuo, and even today's battle, the five teams were all defeated; Today, because of my stupidity, nearly 200 heroic Imperial warriors have died in vain, and the guilty must be apologized for it! ”

"Captain, let's go take down this position now!"

Lieutenant Tadanobu Ono, the leader of the second cavalry squadron, yelled and jumped on his horse: "Kill all the clear dogs above!" ”

"Kill all the dogs on it!"

The remaining nearly two hundred cavalry of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade jumped on their horses with a roar.

"Yaga! Bastard! Do you want the Five Brigades to be removed from the Imperial Sequence! ”

Kimura's eyes were on fire, and he looked up fiercely at Ono Tadanobu: "You still want to charge with cavalry?" You're not a stupid pig! ”

"Gentlemen, work hard! We must use the blood of the Qing army to wash away today's shame! ”

As he spoke, Kimura unbuttoned his uniform, revealing his belly, "Ahh

A lot of blood, gushing out of the incision.

"Captain!"

The Japanese cavalry were all blood-red eyes and yelled in despair.

"Gentlemen, Nu—"

Before Kimura Shige's words were finished, he fell to the ground and died.

The north tributary of the Jiujiang River, the south river channel of Jiguan Mountain.

When he heard the sound of explosions coming from the north, Kuriihara Tsuneyo Osa ordered his troops to continue to accelerate with a happy face.

More than 1,300 soldiers of the 19th Wing of the Japanese Army fasted forward all the way and soon approached the mouth of the Qiupi River, and the Cockscomb Mountain on the left side of the estuary was already vividly visible.

However, at this time, the gunfire in the north suddenly stopped completely.

"Yo Xi, it must be Kimura's cavalry that has defeated the Qing army, is pursuing the deserters, and captured the prisoners!"

Kuriihara Changshi rode on the war horse, looked happy, nodded approvingly and said: "Worthy of being a warrior of the empire, greatly good!" ”
