Shi Xiaowu still hadn't gotten out of that battle, and after his troops came down from the battlefield, they were all in a trance. In Shi Xiaowu's ears, he could still hear the explosion, and he could still hear the roar of those brothers rushing towards the enemy.

More than eighty brothers sat on the ground, and none of them spoke, and none of them knew what to say. They completed their task, and this night, Yang Xiaolin was resting and recuperating the troops, and he was going to hold a commendation meeting for them.

Holding a commendation meeting before the battle is over is really something that has never happened in the history of the Volunteers. It stands to reason that this honor can make them happy, but Shi Xiaowu and these brothers have no way to relax, they don't have a smile on their faces at all, and they don't have a smug look at all.

It wasn't until Yang Xiaolin and Cai Ye walked in front of them that Shi Xiaowu was a little sober, hurriedly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his buttocks, and shouted: "Lizheng!" ”

More than 80 soldiers stood in two rows, and Yang Xiaolin first gave them a military salute, and the soldiers also raised their hands. Shi Xiaowu stood at the front and lifted his head and said loudly: "Report to the commander!" The first battalion of the seventh regiment of the North Manchurian detachment of the Volunteer Army has been assembled! Please review the commander! ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded, first came to stand in front of them, his eyes swept over the more than eighty fighters in front of him, and Zuihou said with great certainty: "Take a break!" ”

More than eighty soldiers put their hands down, and Yang Xiaolin's hands waved at the company commanders of a group of other units behind him. The platoon commanders, regimental commanders, and battalion commanders said: "Let everyone come today, I want to praise these brothers in front of me, as well as those brothers who died on the battlefield in the first battalion of the seventh regiment!" Of course, you're all doing really well, and when this fight is over, I'll have a convention. Let all the brothers who have made meritorious contributions be commended! But today, I called you here to see the team in front of you! ”

The eyes of those commanders of the other troops looked at the more than eighty people in front of them, with admiration. There are also jealous, and of course there are those who are not convinced, in their opinion, their team is no worse than Shi Xiaowu and others.

Yang Xiaolin let out a sigh of relief. Then he said: "Everyone knows that I started as bandits, and now some people say that our volunteers are bandits!" Those foreigners hurled insults at me in the newspapers, saying that I was a beast of beasts. ”

He shook his arm: "Lao Tzu doesn't care! From the very beginning, when the team was raised, we were surrounded by enemies! Qing Dynasty people, Japanese, Russians! They all wanted to kill us one by one, but did they do it? No! I'm still standing here! ”

The voices were not too high, but the emotions of the soldiers were clearly aroused, and they raised their heads one by one. Cai Ye, who was following behind Yang Xiaolin, glanced at Yang Xiaolin at this time. He had long heard Zou Rong say that Yang Dagui was very inspiring, and he never read the draft in his speech, and Cai Ye also wanted to see how much Yang Xiaolin could inspire people's hearts.

Yang Xiaolin paused slightly, and then slowed down his voice: "It's not that I'm a good Yang fighter." It is the brothers who dare to go and fight with those who want us to die. I told you when I pulled the flag, we just want to use our own rotten life to fight a bloody way, so that our children can stand in front of these foreigners with their heads on their shoulders in the future, so that those foreigners will no longer dare to treat our children like us. ”

Yang Xiaolin's tone then became a little high: "We are almost successful now." The Qing Dynasty wants to exterminate us, but where are the Qing Dynasty troops now? They were defeated by you! Zaitao is now locked up in Mukden's prison, if you will. You can kill him right away! The Russians are also going to exterminate us, and now? Now those old hairy people are obediently shrinking in Heilongjiang, they don't dare to fight with you, they are afraid of you! ”…,

His finger pointed to the county town of Iwasama: "There is only one Japanese left, the Japanese are still not convinced, and they still want to compete with us, I know that they are not convinced, because they have bushido." ”

Yang Xiaolin said here and smiled: "The weapons are not as good as us, and they can't beat us in a war, the reason why they still dare to challenge us is because they have the spirit of bushido, they think that the spirit of bushido can make them indomitable and break through the interception of any opponent!" But they were wrong! Just now, in the battle that just ended, our brothers defeated their bushido! More than 200 brothers from the 7th Regiment and 1st Battalion of the North Manchurian Detachment used their lives to kill those Japanese death squads! I think the Japanese should know by now that their so-called bushido spirit is not worth mentioning in front of us! ”

Shi Xiaowu's soldiers carried their heads high at these times, their expressions were very excited, and the officers who came to listen were also excited.

Yang Xiaolin straightened his waist: "Now, I think the Japanese have nothing to rely on!" I ask you to make persistent efforts, and tomorrow, you will lay down the county seat of Yanshan! Have you had the confidence? Answer me! ”

"Yes!"

More than a thousand people shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.

Cai Ye was a little excited when he listened, Yang Xiaolin's speech was indeed not drafted, but he could really grasp the inner activities of these soldiers, and he knew how to mobilize the emotions of these soldiers.

Yang Xiaolin was very satisfied and nodded: "Okay!" Let them be afraid when they see us later! Let the first thing that the Japanese soldiers think of when facing you in the future is to run away instead of their bushido! Tomorrow! Crush them for me! ”

The walls of the rock mountain are no longer laboriously blasted. Yang Xiaolin's more than 20,000 shells had already blown out one breach after another in the city wall. The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, as a red signal flare jumped into the air under the morning sun, the volunteers surrounded and killed from all sides towards the county seat of Yanshan, and the decisive battle of Zuihou began.

The battle opened with an artillery bombardment, in which a thousand artillery pieces began shelling the Japanese positions, which lasted two hours. Subsequently, the North Manchurian detachment of the Volunteer Army first launched an attack on the moat of the county seat of Yanshan. At the same time, the Liaodong detachment also launched a charge from the north.

Naokami Matsubara did not give up hope of zuihou. Because the Volunteers never seemed to have fought any siege battles, he tried in vain to rely on the city to defend and resist Yang Xiaolin's attack. The Japanese troops coming from Dandong were already approaching here as fast as they could, and as long as they could block it for three days, just three days, the situation would completely change.

Naogami Matsubara was still very smart, and he had already shrunk the main force in the bulletproof fortifications before the Volunteers shelled it. This round of shelling by the Volunteers did not have much effect.

Yang Xiaolin personally commanded the Volunteers to attack, but this was really the first siege battle of the Volunteers, and the soldiers and commanders were lacking in experience. Two hours later, the Volunteers pushed the attacking front across the moat, but on the whole did not deal any fatal blow to the Japanese defenses.

At noon that day in the area of the broken city wall. The volunteers were stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army stubbornly held every trench and every foxhole by virtue of the favorable terrain.

The two sides fought fiercely near the city wall for nearly two hours, and Yang Xiaolin continued to increase the assault on Liliang, and Wang Jinhan's troops were also thrown into battle to attack the Japanese army's southern front. But several attacks were repulsed by the Japanese.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaolin concentrated almost all the artillery fire of the volunteers on the western city wall of the Japanese army for a fierce bombardment, and after the bombardment was over, Qian Yao asked more than 400 soldiers to carry quilts and use earthen tanks to line up in a column to advance. …,

At this time, the Japanese army defending at the West City Gate was already scarred, and finally could not withstand the impact of the volunteers. Began to retreat in the direction of Iwayama County.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the volunteers finally occupied and broke through the city wall, annihilated nearly 5,000 defenders, captured more than 3,000 people, and continued to advance towards the city of Yanshan County.

From this figure, it can be seen that when the bushido of Little Japan was defeated. The blow to their morale was very large. More than 3,000 captives, a number that Yang Xiaolin didn't dare to imagine before. However, there will be more and more prisoners in the future, and Yang Xiaolin's goal is to get the Japanese into the habit of surrendering to the volunteers.

After breaking through the city wall, the three units of the Volunteer Army were like three sharp knives, they first surrounded the garrison of a brigade of the Japanese army located in the south of the county, and the Liaodong detachment and the North Manchurian detachment attacked left and right, and it took only two hours to completely annihilate the Japanese troops of this brigade and capture more than 1,000 prisoners.

At six o'clock in the evening, the Japanese army in Yanshan County was left with only a defensive position in Zuihou, and the Japanese artillery was also captured by the volunteers, most of which had long been out of shells, and the artillery was lying there quietly when the volunteers came over, and there was not even artillery next to it.

At seven o'clock, the Liaoxi detachment, which had rested for a few days, also entered the battle. The Volunteers brought in a large number of unconscionable guns from behind, and desperately fired those explosives bags into the Japanese stronghold in Zuihou. In half an hour, they fired more than 3,000 explosives and packed them, and the Japanese army's defensive area in Zuihou was bombed horribly.

The Japanese troops who were holding out here basically could not see the color of the sky for half an hour, and all the explosives bags shot out by the volunteers flew overhead.

At eight o'clock, countless assault groups and assault detachments of the Volunteer Army broke through to the Japanese positions from all directions. It is true that the Volunteers have not fought siege battles, and Iwayama is also a well-fortified county town in Matsubara, and he was also ready to fight street battles before, with a complete defense system and very strong fortifications.

So the further you go, the more difficult it is for the Volunteers to advance.

Those underground firing points were the most threatening, and the Japanese were really tenacious, there were constantly some scattered Japanese resistance in the path of the impact, and even those Japanese had only one soldier, they would shoot at the volunteers, trying to block the attacks of the volunteers.

Every step forward comes at a price.

Naokami Matsubara actually knew that he was done at this time, and when he heard the incessant gunfire getting closer and closer, he knew that the Volunteers had been killed. Is he really going to be captured by Yang Xiaolin again?

Looking at the few staff officers in the room who looked a little nervous, Naokami Matsubara tried to calm his tone: "Our reinforcements, how far away are we now?" ”

The staff officer immediately said: "One hundred and ten kilometers." ”

There's nothing more to say about Naokami Matsubara, the speed of reinforcements is coming very fast, maybe Yang Fighting Ghost's attack speed is faster! He never thought that he really wouldn't be able to hold out for three days, so what should he do now? Breakthrough? Fight to the death? Or go to Changbai Mountain to cut wood again?
