Time: October 1, the third day of the Yalu River offensive and defensive battle.

Location: In the north of Asahima, in the hearts of the children of the flower growers in the modern plane, it is definitely the famous Changjin Lake area.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather in Asahimama has been getting worse day by day.

Nowadays, even at noon, the warmest day of the day, the temperature is only five or six degrees above zero.

In the cold wind, a convoy composed of more than 60 large vehicles, 50 or 60 small teams of island soldiers, and hundreds of islanders was marching with difficulty on the winding mountain road.

In order to be able to speed up the car, it was possible to speed slightly faster on the winding mountain road.

Behind almost every cart, there will be three or five people from the island, who are currently gritting their teeth and pushing the cart forward.

Therefore, even in such weather, many people have a circle of fine beads of sweat on their heads, and the traditional white clothes on their bodies are even more dirty.

But even with such efforts, the little devil is still a little dissatisfied.

A devil lieutenant in his forties, with a little lame on his left foot, still wielding a horsewhip in his hand.

In his mouth, he shouted continuously to those devil soldiers who were obviously no longer young: "Gentlemen, cheer up one by one."

Our convoy is full of artillery shells, which are the materials that Your Excellency needs most at the moment.

In the battle a few days ago, the imperial warriors led by His Excellency Shan County still fought a three-to-one result despite the many advantages of the Xuange camp such as light weapons and terrain.

Relying entirely on the artillery of the Empire, it was possible to suppress the defensive firepower of the Xuange battalion in battle.

Even so, in fact, the losses of the empire did not stop there, because in this number, the Xuange battalion had many wounded, and as long as they were treated, they could survive.

On the contrary, the warriors of the empire rarely escaped from the other side alive.

Without the suppression of artillery, the losses of the warriors would have been greater.

Therefore, for the sake of the future fate of the empire, beat these low-boned Asahi people vigorously to make them faster; Even if you kill it, it's great to catch another batch. ”

However, amid the second lieutenant's hoarse shouts, the senior soldier in the ranks, Uesugi Eagle, was not able to lift his spirits at all.

You must know that half a month ago, he was still a soldier in the township.

The so-called soldiers in the countryside are actually soldiers who have long since been retired.

As early as more than ten years ago, Kami-shirt Hawk retired and opened a small izakaya in Osaka Castle, although the overall scale is not too large, but the business is quite good.

Therefore, now he has a beautiful wife and two lovely children, which is relatively good among ordinary people.

Unfortunately, with a postcard worth only a penny and a half, representing re-enlistment, it all came to naught.

After hurriedly going to the meeting place to report, their team, which was composed entirely of soldiers in the township, came to the port of Xingnan on the island of Chao.

Because the island countries transported a large part of the supplies to the nearby port of Xingnan, and then transported them to the front line.

In such a process, the squad to which the Upper Shirt Eagle belonged began to be responsible for transporting artillery shells to the front line; Under such a busy job, I don't know what happened to my small shop and my wife.

What's more critical is that the neighbor's old Kumamoto has been spying on his wife Kyoka.

I don't know how long I will stay on this trip, and whether I will be able to go back alive; In short, I hope that if I can go back alive, my head will not be green by then.

Therefore, in such a thought, where is the Uesugi Eagle in the mood to drive away these asamito islanders.

In the shouting of the second lieutenant squad leader, it was just a show.

kicked a man in front of him, and scolded fiercely; In the following time, I was thinking about the gentleness and welcome of my wife Jingxiang before leaving.

Maybe it's because I've been lonely for several days in a row, and my body is a little hot for a while.

Fortunately, a sudden situation soon after, which made Uesugi Hawk calm down, so that he would not make a fool of himself on the spot and let his colleagues find out and laugh.

Unfortunately, this sudden situation was too frightening, and it not only calmed down his body, but also a cool breath rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to the level of Tianling Gai.

Specifically, when the second lieutenant who claimed to be from a samurai family.

Once again, they shouted like chicken blood, and when they cheered up their subordinates.

Suddenly, after a crisp gunshot, the lieutenant, who was riding on a donkey, burst into a cloud of blood on his skull, and fell from the donkey.

Because in a peaceful environment, it has been too long.

So much so that Uesugi Eagle and other soldiers in the township were stunned for a few seconds before they realized that they had been attacked by the Xuange battalion.

In a panic, he hurriedly took off a rifle behind him, and prepared to hide behind a large car and start firing back; Those islanders who lay on the ground, or ran away, didn't have time to care for a while.

But after the next second, the poor middle-aged man of the island country, Uesugi Hawk, was completely desperate.

It was three or four hundred meters ahead, and at least three or four hundred horsemen suddenly appeared from a forest, whipped their horses, and rushed down towards them like a tide.

These cavalry above are clearly divided into two different states.

More than 100 people in front of them were wearing beautiful woolen military uniforms, and their bodies were full of new-style rifles, sabers and other equipment, and they looked like the regular army of the Xuange battalion.

A little later, there are herders dressed in bells and whistles.

Their weapons were a messy mess, with old-fashioned muskets and even bows and arrows.

However, although their equipment was very poor, they could make all kinds of strange noises loudly on the back of their horses, and made all kinds of fancy movements with extremely difficult difficulties, showing advanced equestrian skills.

After the comparison, it brought great pressure to Uesugi Hawk.

Such a strong enemy is coming? What to do.

Such a question, the middle-aged shopkeeper of the island country did not think clearly, and the cavalrymen who had already rushed to a distance of one hundred and thirty or forty had already opened fire one after another.

In the dense gunfire, the most courageous in the entire squad, and the seven or eight people who were loaded with bullets and were at the front and ready to fire, were instantly shot and put to the ground.

So in the next second, he jerked the rifle in his hand.

He knelt on the ground with great skill, raised his hands high, and shouted in a crying voice and in Mandarin, which he was not very proficient in:

"I surrender to the grandfathers of the Xuange camp, please don't kill me, please."

At this moment, because of the great fear in his heart and the desire to survive, Uesugi Takashi decisively surrendered.

And with him taking the lead, the remaining devils in the team also stopped resisting; These people are basically greasy middle-aged people, and their will to fight is really not very high......

"Special! Doesn't it mean that the devils are all die-hards and resolutely refuse to surrender? ”

After grabbing his horse, the singer scolded indignantly.

You must know that in the previous time, he had been lurking in Chaodao for more than half a month with a cavalry team that had been broken into pieces.

Sleeping in a hidden place every day, I feel like my bones are going to rust.

Finally, I waited for the message to do it, and I could kill the devil well; Just about to wield the bright saber in his hand and hack a few little devils to move their muscles.

As a result, he killed a petty officer with his own hands, led the team to a charge, and all the guys in front of him surrendered.

For a while, the singer's heart was really depressed.

He could only swing the saber in his hand and reluctantly withdrew the scabbard.

Seeing this, Uesugi Taka, who knelt on the ground in a standard kneeling position, immediately breathed a great sigh of relief in his heart; Think you've survived and that this damn war is over for you.

Then, it depends on when he can return to the island country and reunite with his gentle wife.

Because he thought that the arrogance of the officers headed by the other party's Xuange battalion would not kill him at all, or he disdained to kill himself.

It wasn't until a moment later that he knew he was thinking too much.

From the singer's mouth, he heard a string of commands that made his soul tremble:

"Clean up the battlefield right away, and then go to the next target; If you don't kill a few little devils with your own hands today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.

The supplies in the convoy were destroyed on the spot, and the mules and horses were killed with poison, so that the little devils could not have a chance to eat meat.

As for these captives, their lives and the goods on their bodies are all handed over to you to deal with. ”

The singer's voice fell, and a burly grassland man solemnly returned the salute to him, and shouted as if singing:

"Heir of the noble golden family, you can rest assured.

These little devils from the island nation, since they dare to provoke you, then they will pay the price and will die in the most painful way. ”

After hearing this, Uesugi Takashi shouted 'no' in his mouth, and then began to grab the rifle on the side.

But at such a time, it was too late.

When he had just picked up his rifle, a noose had caught him with great dexterity and precision; As the rope pulled, he fell to the ground like a piece of wood.

The rifle in his hand fell to the ground again

Twenty minutes later, the singer's team of horses began to gallop again, running towards the next group of victims.

Behind them, there was the sound of a huge explosion of cannonballs; A group of people who ran away looked at the dead bodies of mules and horses all over the ground, and they had regretful expressions on their faces.

Because they have been eating kimchi all year round and have not eaten a meal of meat for a long time, they know that these poisoned mules and horses are no longer edible.

As for Uesugi Eagle and the others, after they fell to the ground now, they were all dragged behind the war horses of a group of grassland herdsmen.

As the horses galloped, their mouths let out screams of extreme pain; But in the screams of their mouths, the faces of the herdsmen were full of joy.

Of course, when they saw the soldiers of the Xuange camp in front of them, their faces became extremely respectful again.

Because through the previous relationship between the two sides, they knew what a terrifying existence the cavalry of the Xuange Battalion was to them.

Anyway, never rebel and disobey them, give your greatest enthusiasm and the best song and dance, just notice this.

In the end, after being dragged out for seven or eight miles, Takashi Uesugi, who was covered in blood, swallowed his last breath.

At the same time, in the island country of Osaka, across the water, the kitchen of a small izakaya of small scale.

A little old man said a line that would be very popular in the future of the island country to the pretty woman in front of him: "Mrs. Uesugi, you don't want to see Uesugi-kun's hard work and go bankrupt like this, right?" ”

Under such a sentence, the woman struggled and let go of the pair of small white hands that had been holding the collar of the kimono.

A few minutes later, the woman lying on the kitchen floor shed tears of humiliation in the corners of her eyes......

*******

Ten hours later, it was completely dark.

However, the place will be changed to Sansholi, which is still an extremely familiar place for the children of the flower family in the modern plane.

Under the thin starlight tonight, Yu Hanfeng took a dozen or so good men of the guard company and quietly walked towards a building in front of him.

Or more accurately, a military station of the devils.

Behind them, hundreds of warriors with horses' hooves and horses in their mouths were carefully hidden.

The northern part of the island is mountainous and has very few plains.

Here in Sanshori, as an important three-way intersection and traffic node, it seems logical that the devil has set up a military station here, or a large military station.

Therefore, after receiving the order to do it, Yu Hanfeng's first reaction was: Special! Those small targets are left to the other troops, and they will swallow this big fish first.

It's a pity that the sister of this big fish is a little too big.

Because as an important node of the military station, the devil stationed three squadrons here in one go, about five hundred and fifty or sixty troops.

In addition, there is a heavy baggage army that happened to spend the night here tonight, with more than 300 people.

And after dispersing the forces of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment under his command, he currently has a guard company, a reconnaissance company, and some regimental headquarters units by his side.

When all added together, it is the appearance of three hundred and sixty or seventy people.

If it is a forcible attack, it is not without a success rate at all.

But the casualties will definitely be not small, and they will not be worth it at all; So after some planning, a sneak attack at night became the main tactic.

Xu was on the supply line in the rear, and there was news that the cavalry of the Xuange battalion was attacking everywhere, and it had already been transmitted to the military station.

So don't look at the time now, it's already a little close to the middle of the night.

But in the huge garrison station surrounded by logs, on top of those wooden guard towers, there were actually twenty or thirty fixed devils, holding rifles outside the sentry with wide eyes.

There was also a patrol patrol, patrolling back and forth in the station from time to time, and it was very guarded.

So much so that the company commander of the reconnaissance company, after lying in a hidden place and observing for a while, was not sure that he had succeeded in touching in and opening the gate.

Immediately, he frowned, and shouted at their head in his mouth:

"Lord Fan and the devil are heavily guarded, it's a little difficult to start?

Why don't you use telegraphs to contact the nearby troops and let them move closer to this place and work together to do a good job? ”

After hearing this, Yu Hanfeng said very easily: "It's okay, it's just a small situation, you guys wait here, everything depends on me." ”

While speaking, Yu Hanfeng just touched out alone.

It's true, as a senior member of the Xuange Battalion team, the captain of the team that doesn't accept the night, if he can't cope with this kind of scene, he is embarrassed to mess around in the team.

In the following time, the subordinates of the second regiment saw a textbook-like whistle operation.

Relying on a dagger in his hand and a short bow, in less than ten minutes, more than two dozen guards were all cleaned up by Yu Hanfeng in silence and opened the gate.

First, heavy machine guns, snipers, mortars and grenadiers were prepared to open fire from high places.

Then, the other troops rushed in on their horses, killing and wounding two or three hundred people on the spot, the little devil who was still asleep.

The rest of the people were all taken prisoner.

They were all put into the devil's warehouse, which was made of thick logs and filled with rice, flour, forage, and ammunition......

At five o'clock in the morning, after a short rest for this cavalry unit, Yu Hanfeng and the others were ready to have breakfast, and then rushed to the next target.

In a hurry, Yu Hanfeng directly opened a can of braised elbow and ate it with a knife.

As for those little devils, what should we do with the seized grain and forage? After locking the warehouse door, torches were thrown up.

Soon after, the wooden warehouse was completely burned.

Both the supplies and the captives began to burn rapidly in the fire; Soon after, an eerie smell of meat emanated from the air.

It is precisely for this reason that Yu Hanfeng, who has eaten a few bites, can't eat a can of fat elbows in his hand.

With a sound of 'bah~', he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm into the can, and threw the can into the grass on the side.

Then, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Go, go to Songgu Peak to ambush it, and wait for the devil's baggage team to send it to the door~"

In the following time, a group of more than 300 cavalry set off again in the glimmer of dawn.

It's just that what they don't know is that more than an hour after the team set off, some people from Chaodao rushed into the military station of this devil and began to search around, trying to find something good.

Unfortunately, in the charred wreckage, not much can be found.

Until a man on the island saw the can thrown away by Yuhan in the grass, he immediately picked it up like a treasure and held it in his arms.

By noon, he had boiled a large pot with this can, some loose noodles and cakes he had picked up from the station, and some greens.

The sultry scent almost made the whole village agitated.

In the end, the village chief asked: "Zaeen, what good things have you eaten at home, it seems to be very delicious." ”

After hesitating for a moment, the Asahimama man, who was called 'Jaeun', replied loudly in a flash of inspiration: "This is called the army pot~"

From this day on, with the gradual increase in the activities of the Xuange battalion army on Asahima, the legend of the army pot also increased......
