The ecstasy brought by the exact news that the Mengshan Army Command finally received the "Bailing Detachment" (the extremely secret internal code name) overwhelmed the news of the Russo-Japanese war. It has been almost five months since the Lushan advance detachment left Beijing. Except for Tian Shubang, deputy director of the intelligence department who had established an intelligence station in Shenyang, who reported in November that he had been contacted at "Bailing," there was no news from the "Bailing" detachment. At the Wuding Reserve Headquarters in Shandong, the second and third groups of members sent to Manchuria set off one after another, and according to the calculation of time, they had already arrived at the predetermined rendezvous area in Manchuria, but there was no definite news after that.

The top echelons of the Mengshan Army were in extreme anxiety. All the troops sent were the essence of the Mengshan Army, and whether they could establish a foothold in that sparsely populated vast land according to the predetermined plan had become the most worrying issue for the top brass of the Mengshan Army. The unfamiliar environment, the severe cold season, and beards everywhere are all challenges to the survival of the "Bailing" detachment, and if the "Bailing" detachment is buried between the white mountains and black waters, it will be a major blow to the Mengshan army, which is extremely lacking in excellent officers.

Long Qian regretted his decision for a while. Therefore, it is not worth mentioning the news of Manchuria from the northeast that was sent to Jinan through several intelligence stations compared to learning of the great event that the Russo-Japanese war was undoubtedly destined to happen.

On the afternoon of 24 July, when Long Qian and others were sure that Lu Shan and other principal officers were safe and sound, in the midst of a snowstorm, in a ravine called Withered Shuling near Tongyuan Fort, 100 miles north of Fengcheng in Liaodong, the ambush battle of the "Bailing Detachment" against a logistics transport team of the Japanese army had just ended.

It is sparsely populated, and it is a hundred and ten miles to the southeast. It is Fengcheng in Liaodong. Fifty miles to the north, is the famous Lianshan Pass. Seven days ago, he received accurate information that Feng Delin's troops were going to pick up a batch of arms smuggled by the Japanese army from Korea, and Lu Shan decided to fight this battle, not for the sake of arms, but to prove his strength to the Russians. Who knew that Lu Dao actually exchanged fire with the Japanese army.

The terrain is selected, with mountains on both sides, a deep ditch in the middle, and Sheng Guang led a squadron in the southeast and was responsible for breaking through in the middle. Huang Jinhui led the second squadron in the northwest. Responsible for the bottom line. The third squadron adapted from Yan Sigou, who was mainly recruited by Chaoyang, was blocked by Liaoxi, and a brigade of 400 people totaled three times the enemy, and there was also a Makqin to suppress it, and it was waiting for work at ease. I thought it would not be a difficult battle. Who knew that more than 50 Japanese soldiers actually stood up on the shelf. There was a leak, and it almost made the salted fish turn over.

The camouflage suit made of the white cotton cloth in the warehouse of the Golden Eye Carving is excellent, and it is hidden in the wind and snow. Even if you stand in front of you, it's not easy to spot. But before Lu Shan's attack order was given, the team was exposed. Not the 1st squadron closest to the bottom of the ditch, but the 3rd squadron in charge of the blockade, presumably due to nervousness, was discovered by vigilant Japanese spearheads.

The Japanese reacted very quickly, immediately looked for concealment on the spot, and hung the stupid beards at the bottom of the ditch. Therefore, the copper sound of Makqin's "smack" brought by the dismantling of Shandong with great difficulty sounded, and the windy rain poured over, knocking down all the beards. The Japanese are basically unharmed. This battle will be difficult to fight.

This small unit of Japanese troops actually brought a Hatch Chase machine gun! You must know that at this time, the Japanese army had very few machine guns, and I am afraid that the whole army would not be able to gather a hundred! There's a lot of one here. When the Japanese saw that the ambushers had machine guns, they naturally had to raise their machine guns to counterattack. If the Japanese army relied on a large convoy to hold on and wait for the ambushers to attack, it would cause more casualties to the ambushers! But it was impossible not to use the weapon in his hand, so he set up his machine gun and prepared to shoot at it. It was here that the losses of the Japanese army began.

Hatch Cash, like Maxin, has a great chance of being exposed. The Japanese did not expect that among the ambushers there were several sharpshooters who pierced through Yang at a hundred paces.

As soon as the Japanese shooter was in position, a bloody hole was punched in the center of his eyebrows, and he fell to the shooting position without a sound. The co-shooter pushed his dead companion away, and before he could determine the location of the fatal shot, a high-speed bullet pierced his right ear, pierced through his skull, and opened a brilliant flower of blood on the other temple.

After that, around this terrible Hatch Race, the Japanese army lost seven lives!

Xu Gongzhi, who was squatting steadily behind a pine tree and harvesting the life of his opponent, couldn't help but sigh at the stupidity of the Japanese army. It's not bravery, it's stupidity.

With more than a dozen grenades thrown into the enemy line, Sheng Guang led a squadron to rush down the hill. Seeing this, Huang Jinhui, who was on the other side, stood up and shouted, leading the second squadron to jump out of cover and pounce!

The Japanese commander subconsciously made a correct decision when he saw the ambushers rushing out, who were far superior to his own strength! Instead of counterattacking the attackers from both sides, they concentrated their forces and rushed straight ahead!

Lying in ambush on both sides of the road directly ahead was Yan Sigou's third squadron. Because of his unease with them, Lu Shan put them in this position to act as a reserve. As the battle began, they seemed to be spectators, watching the fierce battle not far away. When the Japanese soldiers rushed towards them frantically with bayonets, only a few of them came to their senses and fired at the Japanese soldiers who rushed towards them, causing one death and two injuries to the charging Japanese soldiers. Then he shouted and fled! A small number of people fled north along the road at the bottom of the ditch, and most took refuge on the slopes on either side.

The charging Japanese fired on the run, hitting the fleeing soldiers of the 3rd Squadron in succession, leaving black and red marks on the white hillsides on both sides.

Thanks to Lu Shan's spare hand, the real reserve team immediately went up! The guard platoon, which was composed entirely of Mengshan officers and soldiers, was placed in the rear of the third squadron by Lushan to prevent accidents. The guard platoon did not wait for the order, rushed out of the bunker and blocked the Japanese army in the encirclement with white-knuckle combat, and the tragic sacrifice appeared at that moment, and the company commander Mo Xinwei, who was transferred from the reserve with Huang Jinhui, was now the guard platoon commander, who died in the white-knives combat with the Japanese army.

At the cost of sacrificing 27 people (nine of whom were members from Guannai) and wounding nearly 40 people, the "Bailing" detachment, which was completely equipped with the active equipment of the Russian army, completely annihilated a logistics convoy escorted by about 50 Japanese soldiers and 100 bearded men, and captured 23 carts of weapons and ammunition.

This battle left the most elite guards wounded...... It can be regarded as Lu Shan, who has experienced a bloody battle, and is sad.

This is not the time to mourn. "Huzi took a squadron to take charge of the broken rear, and the rest hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and retreated with captured supplies. If you can't bring it, destroy it! Lu Shan put down the binoculars he had been holding, wiped the frost on his face, and gave an order to Cheng Erhu, the captain of the first brigade.

"The second squadron will come with me, and you'll take care of the rest." In the wind and snow, Cheng Erhu rarely gave a complete order without stammering.

"Yes." Deputy Captain Sheng Guang accepted the order and turned to Lu Shan, "What about their wounded soldiers?" Quite a lot......"

"Master Shan, you can't bring it, ......" The one who spoke was Yan Sigou who surrendered in Chaoyang. I don't know when. Yan Sigou appeared in front of Lu Shan.

"Eggless stuff. What about the strength that you usually brag about? Where did it go? Lao Tzu let you run, let you run......" Sheng Guang became angry when he saw Yan Sigou, raised his hand, and shook Yan Sigou in the mouth. Follow a kick. Kicked Yan Sigou to the ground.

"Stop fighting!" Lu Shan dragged Yan Sigou who fell in front of him.

Yan Sigou's arrogance is gone. Covering his cheeks, he hid behind Lu Shan.

"Sheng Guang!" Lu Shan drank the angry light. After a little consideration, "All of them are slaughtered, and none of them are left." Lu Shan slashed viciously. Yan Si, this job is up to you. ”

"Okay." Yan Si finally got a chance to go crazy and went to the fart. The tragic white-knuckle battle on the highway just now completely shocked him, and also shocked his men. Now I don't dare to break hands with these Shandong uncles if I borrow ten of his courage.

The weapons on the cart have been preliminarily counted and reported to Lushan. There were 1,200 rifles and boxes of ammunition that could not be counted, and six truckloads of Japanese military uniforms.

The rifle is the Murata 22 type with a caliber of 8mm. When I was in Shandong, I compared this rifle, and the comprehensive performance was not as good as the "Water Lianzhu" (Mosinagan). Presumably, these weapons were given to Feng Delin, and now they have become trophies of the "Bailing Detachment". But Lushan is not ready to use them, and most of them will be handed over to the Russian army.

With these weapons, it's enough to prove your strength, right? To Lu Shan's delight, a large number of silver dollars were found in the seized materials, and the preliminary estimate was as much as 5,000 yuan. This is probably the salary given by the Japanese army to Feng Delin's troops. In order to win this big war of gambling on the fortunes of the country, the Japanese are really willing to spend their blood.

Lu Shan and the others don't understand it very well now, but they will understand it later. Spending money to buy traitors to act as cannon fodder is actually a very cost-effective deal.

Weapons should be taken away as much as possible, not only to arm themselves, but also to be replenished by the Russian army. In the treaty agreed with Major General Artemyev of the Russian army on the 21st of last month, the "South Manchurian detachment" will be supplemented with the same amount of Russian-made weapons for every batch of Japanese-made weapons seized. But the prisoners can't be brought, and the Japanese army naturally wants to kill them all, even Feng Delin's soldiers, and it is troublesome to leave them alive.

"This snow is good, even if Feng Delin occupies a favorable location, he can't chase it if he wants to." Xu Gong held the frost on his eyebrows and said to Lu Shan with a smile.

"The casualties are too great. When did the little Oriental devil become so fierce? Lu Shan scolded, "Intelligence, information on dog days!" Almost killed Lao Tzu! ”

The intelligence was just a small unit under Feng Delin, but I didn't expect that there were dozens of Japanese soldiers mixed in it! Gritting his teeth, Lu Shan decided to stay unchanged. In an hour and a half, after paying dozens of casualties, the enemy was finally completely annihilated. In the form of an ambush, prepared versus unprepared, with a three-fold advantage in troops, such casualties made Lu Shan unbearable, and more importantly, the casualties of those veterans from Shandong made Lu Shan sad. They're treasures, they're all going to be used as officers, and if you fight one, you'll lose one.

This was not the first encounter with the Japanese army. Four years ago, in Xigu, the Mengshan Army also fought against the Japanese army. But it seems that the Japanese army at that time was not fighting? How did it change this time? The fierce fighting will, skillful combat movements and white-knuckle fighting skills of this small Japanese army left a deep impression on Lu Shan.

Lu Shan left the command position, and his feet were so cold that he lost consciousness. Wading knee-deep snow limped down to the bottom of the ditch and came to the corpses of the fallen Japanese soldiers. Yan Sigou's soldiers were scavenging valuable things from the Japanese soldiers, and when they saw the big boss coming, they obediently hurriedly offered what they had found—dozens of crumpled yen tickets, and a Western pocket watch.

"As I said, except for weapons, whoever has to go to whom the rest of the things will be." Lu Shan pushed away the filial piety handed over by the team leader, "Dong Liu, right?" Look at your point! Look at the others, always collect weapons first! ”

"Yes, yes, Master Shan......" Dong Liu nodded and bowed.

Lu Shan waved his hand, leaned over to look at the corpse lying in the snowdrift, dark blue retro winter military uniform, the military cap is a dark blue cylinder hat with yellow belts, dark blue military pants also have yellow stripes on both sides, and the long white leg guards are very special, this is the officer who commanded the battle, wearing a black military uniform and high military boots......

"No wonder it's called Oriental radish, it's really a little radishes." Touching the Japanese officer who was lying on his side with his body bent over, at most it was up to his shoulder, but it was extremely fierce. The man had been in Lu Shan's telescope until Xu Gong's bullet shattered his head.

"I really dare to go deep into the hinterland......" Lu Shan muttered to himself. It is still nearly 100 miles away from Fengcheng, and even farther away from North Korea. It seems that the war is really going to start, otherwise the Japanese army would not have gone so deep...... Looking up to the east, it seemed that he was about to see the way the Japanese army was coming, but the snow was still falling, and the figure was blurred after a dozen steps.

At this moment, Lu Shan still did not know that Lu Dao was in Port Arthur in southern Liaoning last night, and the Japanese army had already attacked the Russian fleet, and the Russo-Japanese War began in an undeclared manner. (To be continued......)
