Chapter Seventy-Nine: Surrounded on All Sides (Ask for Subscription!) )

Akiyama Haogu led the troops to travel through the Changbai Mountain for eight days, they were the pioneers, not only to walk by themselves, but also to open the road and build bridges in the mountains and rivers, paving a road for the large troops behind.

This is not an easy job, especially in Changbai Mountain, which is particularly difficult. It's already May, but the snow on some of the high mountains doesn't melt all year round, and at night the temperature drops so much that the soldiers shiver from the cold when they hide in their tents. And during the day, walking through the dense forest, those mosquitoes became the most annoying thing, and after a few days the whole army was exhausted.

The moment they just stepped out of Changbai Mountain, these Japanese soldiers all seemed to be scattered, and after receiving the order of Akiyama Yoshigu to let them rest in place, they immediately sat on the ground with relief, panting for breath one by one.

Looking at the tired appearance of these Japanese soldiers, the corners of Akiyama's mouth smiled, and he snapped his fingers with his habitual movements, and a Japanese captain immediately ran over behind him: "Brigade commander!" ”

Akiyama said: "Take your troops to find a Chinese tunzi nearby, so that the soldiers can go in and relax." ”

That captain naturally knew what Akiyama Yoshiko meant by taking it easy, and letting himself go to the Chinese meant that he could take it easy first. The captain's expression immediately became excited, and the tiredness on his face suddenly disappeared: "Hayi! ”

He led a Japanese army brigade to search the surroundings in three directions, while Akiyama Yoshiko ordered the troops to rest on the spot and start making a fire to make a meal, so that everyone could eat first. He knew that only when he was full of food. Only then do soldiers have the strength to take it easy. When the stomach is full and relaxed, the soldiers are in the mood to fight.

He was really a qualified brigade commander, and after thinking carefully about the soldiers, he took out the map himself and found his current location first. Then draw a route to prepare for the march.

This time, their mission was to attack the Russian team on the outskirts of Liaoyang and prevent the Russian team from continuing to reinforce Lushun from Liaoyang, while waiting for the opportunity to wait for the arrival of Japanese troops from other sides before looking for an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the Russian defenders.

The Japanese had received information that the Russian general named Akberil was hurriedly arranging a line of defense to intercept them.

For this Russian, Akiyama Yoshiko, he didn't care at all. This Russian general can't even beat a bandit, and has become the laughing stock of the international community, so how can he be his opponent? Those Russians who were killed by a group of bandits were so able to resist the brave and warlike samurai of the Imperial Japanese Army?

Akberyl's defense line was arranged in the second public platform, and Akiyama Yoshiko's pen drew a straight line on the map without hesitation, and the only thing he was worried about was the location of the second public platform. If you march too fast, won't the commander be able to keep up?

You must know that the commander did not only come this time by himself, but also accompanied by German, French, and British field observers from the 1st Kuroki Army. As well as several Western notes. With these people around, the Commander always has to be restrained.

He straightened up and asked the Japanese communications officer who was following him, "Where is Commander Kurogi now?" ”

The Japanese communications officer stood up: "Report to the brigade commander, the army has now reached the position where we stayed the night before yesterday, and unknown forces have appeared nearby and occasionally attacked us, so the speed of the march has been affected." ”

Akiyama paused for a moment: "There are bandits?" How is this possible. Although the road was difficult for us to follow, we were not attacked in any way, did you say who it was? ”

The communications officer shook his head, "No." ”

Akiyama Yoshiko was about to ask if it could be the work of Yang Ghost's people. The Japanese captain who went to search came back: "Report to the brigade commander, we searched within a radius of ten miles and found several Chinese tunzi, but there was no one inside!" ”…,

Akiyama Yoshiko was surprised: "How can this be? ”

The captain of the Japanese army said: "The tun is all empty!" The food was also taken away by those people, and I checked the stoves in every house, and there was no sign of a fire for at least two days. ”

Listened to such a result. Akiyama suddenly understood in his heart. In the past, there were places where they heard that the Japanese were coming, but most of them started to run after seeing the Japanese army appear. It often can't escape the palm of the Japanese hand. Like this, before he appeared, all the people ran away, obviously there was Jihua's escape! This escape must have been organized!

"Yang fights ghosts! It must be that guy who beats the ghost, his conscience is greatly broken! How dare we go against the Imperial Japanese Army! ”

He was very angry, the imperial army needs these Chinese, men can be laborers for them, women can make them easy and relaxed, in Akiyama Yoshiko's opinion, Yang Xiaolin transferred these Chinese in the tunzi is to fight against the Japanese Imperial Army again!

At this time, he had the urge to immediately slap that Yang Beat Ghost in front of him. He didn't know that Yang Xiaolin was already waiting for him in front, of course, not waiting for him to slap himself a few times, the volunteers had already opened their bloody mouths, waiting to eat the team of more than 5,000 people in Akiyama Haogu in one bite.

In the consciousness of the Japanese, they didn't expect Yang Xiaolin to have such courage at all!

They didn't know about the Volunteers, and from the bandits of the Lun Mountains to the Volunteers, this group of troops could be said to have been killed from the pile of dead. As long as Yang Xiaolin gives an order, those brothers under his hands dare to fight with anyone! It's not awareness, it's just that they know what they're desperate for.

If you don't work hard, you're like a dog, you have to be beaten if you don't eat or drink in the mine, and the old Maozi who is farming in the field will come up and kick you when she sees that she is unhappy, and even if you kill Ling, you can't even find a place to cry.

But they are desperate, Lao Maozi is afraid of them! Some time ago, when Akberil came to fight Houma Town with tens of thousands of Russian troops, he knew that he couldn't beat these people too painfully with his hands, and he didn't want these people to fight with him.

This change of attitude is caused by the desperate efforts of the Volunteers and the Russians again and again! They don't need to be told this truth by others, they understand it themselves. Just like those people in Tunzi who don't want to be stunned, everyone doesn't provoke him, in the minds of these people, they have the same concept as Yang Xiaolin: "Just this one life." Whoever bullies me will fight with him! ”

And this group of people also has a characteristic, that is, they have little knowledge, and they have not read any books in the basic mountains. Once this kind of person sees that he is desperate, no one will dare to bully him, and he will continue to fight, he doesn't care whether he is a Russian or a Japanese. It is even said that the army of the British Empire, which is now known as the number one in the world, dares to fight when it comes, because they don't know where the Japanese are powerful.

Akiyama didn't realize that he was already in a very dangerous situation, and after learning that no one was found in the nearby tunzi, he decided to go to the county seat of Baishan to have a look, there is no one in the county, right? Yang Xiaolin won't empty the entire White Mountain, right?

So he was waiting for the troops to have lunch. Immediately regrouped the team and began to drive towards Baishan County.

When Akiyama arrived at the county seat of Hakusan, he was finally sure that he really had no way to get any supplies, let alone make the soldiers feel at ease. The four gates of the entire Baishan County were empty and open, and when you looked from outside the city, there was not a single figure on the streets inside.

The gusts of wind blew in from the west gate, and then blew out of the east gate unimpeded. Occasionally, a few tattered straw mats were rolled up, the doors of the shops on both sides of the street were tightly closed, and a flock of sparrows strolled down the street very leisurely.

Yang Dagui really emptied the entire White Mountain! …,

"Go into town and rest!"

Akiyama Yoshikoku suppressed the anger in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, the Japanese army immediately drove into the county seat. Fortunately, the houses in Baishan County are still there, and there can be a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After settling down in the prefecture, Akiyama Yoshiko immediately sent a telegram to get in touch with the army behind, and he reported to Admiral Kuroki Yoshihara and Admiral Nishikanjiro that he had not been supplied on the spot. Now that the entire vanguard had enough food to eat for one day, Akiyama asked the general whether he should continue to move forward, or wait for the troops in the rear to send him some supplies in Hakusan.

It didn't take long. Kuroki Weizhen sent him instructions to save his rations and wait for a large group of men to deliver supplies to him in Baishan County. This can take up to two days. Because the 12th Reserve Brigade of the Military Station Department, which was responsible for transporting grain and grass, was subjected to a harassing attack, although the attack did not threaten the safety of grain and grass, it delayed the speed of material transportation, and it may take some time to resolve.

Akiyama Yoshiko didn't care about these things either, and after sending enough sentry posts, he let the Japanese soldiers rest. Although I was not able to take it easy. However, the Japanese soldiers were satisfied with having a room for them to sleep in.

Akiyama took out the map again. Looking at the terrain in the Ergongtai area, I was thinking about how I would break through the defense line of the Russian army once I got into fire with the Russians.

He didn't know at all that he had no chance to go to Ergongtai.

In the evening, the situation suddenly changed, and the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of the guard were attacked, and a large number of armed liliang appeared around, and these armed forces came from the north, east, and southwest directions, and put on a jiashi to encircle the county seat. And these people did not hide their identities, they all came with big flags, the first regiment of the volunteers came from the east, the sixth regiment of the volunteers came from the southwest, and the group of people who rushed from behind carried the banner of the fifth regiment of the volunteers.

There are also some small flags with local names on them, all of which are militiamen. For example, the militia team closest to the county seat, the small flag reads: "Volunteer Army Baishan County Liudaojiang Militia Battalion".

After these guys surrounded the county seat, they immediately began to dig trenches, trying to keep the trenches as close to the foot of the county seat as possible, and they didn't even pay attention to the common sense of encircling three and missing one, and surrounded the county town on all sides!

Seeing Yang Xiaolin coming over with a banner to surround himself, and posing as a jiashi to eat himself, Akiyama Haogu woke up like a dream at this time! In this situation, if Akiyama Yoshigu took advantage of the fact that Yang Xiaolin's preparations on the periphery were not yet ready to take the initiative to kill him or immediately ask for help from the Japanese army behind, he would still have a chance to escape.

However, he had never fought with the Volunteers, and he was very angry after seeing Yang Xiaolin's jiashi, he felt that he had been insulted, and a bandit actually wanted to eat his five thousand men and horses? This is simply contempt for his Akiyama good old military talent!

He did not ask for help, nor did he break through, and relied on the city wall to start building fortifications, and sent a telegram to Admiral Nishikuan Jiro behind, telling Admiral Nishikuan Jiro Yang to fight ghosts attitude towards the Japanese, Akiyama Yoshiko took the initiative to ask for help, thinking that Yang Dagui should be taught a lesson at this time!
