After these two battles, Bai Yihua and his Northeast Anti-Japanese Army became famous in western Liaoning. Many young people who were unwilling to be enslaved by the Japanese joined his team. At the most, there were more than 1,000 people.
However, it was also the reputation of Bai Yihua that attracted the Japanese's heavy siege. Bai Yihua and his anti-Japanese volunteers had to deal with the Japanese in the deep mountains and forests. Sometimes, they would seize the opportunity to fight a small battle with the Japanese. However, they were fighting alone in the northeast. Especially with the arrival of winter, their days were getting worse and worse. In the three eastern provinces, there were hundreds of anti-Japanese troops of various sizes. However, because there was no unified leader, they were in a very difficult and dangerous situation. Bai Yihua and the others did not have a base of their own. They could only travel between black mountains and white waters. It was very difficult for the troops to rest. However, at this moment, Bai Yihua was being pursued by the Japanese army and the puppet Manchurian army, and it was difficult for him to even carry out normal training. Secondly, there was the problem of food. Because the Japanese had a very strict blockade on them, the local people could not come into contact with them at all. Sometimes, the troops could not even eat a full meal for three days. The most critical problem was Guo Dong. The winter in the northeast was very long and the temperature was very low. The lowest temperature was-50 degrees Celsius. Before the Japanese had imposed a blockade, Bai Yihua and his comrades sat by the fire even in the cold.”However, in the later stages, the soldiers of the volunteer army could not even start a fire at night. Because the Japanese would find out if they started a fire. As a result, many young men could not stand the pain and left the White Yi-transformed troops. In addition to the non-combat casualties caused by frostbite, this caused the number of casualties in the troops to be very serious.
In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival of 1933 was coming. On this day, the class monitor of the kitchen class found Bai Yihua."Commander, it's going to be the new year in two days, but we don't even have a small piece of meat here, and we don't have much food. Do you think you can think of a way to let everyone eat a bite of meat on New Year's Eve?”Bai Yihua looked at the thick snow outside and thought that on this snowy day, the animals in the mountains would also come out to look for food. If they could kill two, then the soldiers would have meat to eat. Thinking of this, Bai Yihua called Shi Shoutian and Shan Haitao over to discuss hunting with them.
Bai Yihua told his thoughts to Shan Hai, Shou Tian, and the other two, and they both fought to go. Bai Yihua stopped them." I have to go this time. I have three goals for going out this time. One is to get some wild game for our brothers so that everyone can have a good New Year. The second is that I want to take a look at the terrain outside and see if there is a place suitable for us to garrison. Also, if the devils attack, we'll have a way out. Third, I want to understand the situation outside and see if there are any villagers living around our base. Now that we are in a very dangerous situation, we have to choose a place far away from the people. First, to prevent anyone from telling the devils, and second, to avoid bringing death to the people because of us. These Japanese were worse than beasts. They were capable of anything. When you're at home, you must lead the team well. If there's an emergency, you must evacuate quickly. Don't wait for me. I will find you."
Just like that, Bai Yihua left the camp with his personal guard, Hu Zi. The snow outside was not covered by paint, and the cold wind blew so hard that the two of them could not open their eyes. The two of them walked around the mountain. Although the temperature had already reached-20 degrees Celsius, the two of them were still sweating. It was really strenuous to walk in such thick snow. They had walked for about four hours, but they hadn't seen anything. At this moment, Bai Yihua suddenly heard the sound of footsteps not far away. Bai Yihua waved his hand at Hu Zi, and the two of them quickly hid behind a large tree. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they could hear their whispers. Bai Yihua could tell from his accent that he was Japanese. What should he do? It was too late to retreat. Bai Yihua decided to lure the group of devils away. He must not let them find the team's camp.
Bai Yihua waved his hand at Hu Zi, and Hu Zi understood what was going on. So they got up and ran towards the forest behind them.
Soon, the group of Japanese discovered Bai Yihua and the other two. This group of Japanese shouted as they chased after Bai Yihua and the others.
Bai Yihua and Hu Zi were running and crawling with their backs bent. Gunshots came from behind them. Bai Yihua and the others did not care about the Japanese shooting at all. This gunshot was just the right time to inform Shi Shoutian and the others. Just like that, Bai Yihua and the Japanese spent nearly an hour in the mountains. Bai Yihua felt that it was time. They found a big rock and hid behind it. When the Japanese got closer, they would launch a surprise attack. Bai Yihua guessed that this group of devils was also exhausted. He said to Hu Zi,"Hu Zi, quickly go back and report to the deputy commander. Tell them to move quickly. Then, we'll meet here.”As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Hu Zi. Hu Zi did not take the paper. Instead, he twisted his neck."I'm not leaving. Even if I die, I want to die with you.”
Bai Yihua said in a low voice but very sternly,""You must leave. This is an order. Do you want thousands of our brothers to die? Don't worry, I won't die. None of us are allowed to die. He had to stay alive and beat up the Japanese. On the paper is the transfer location I have chosen. You have to hand it to the deputy commander personally. I'll meet you here when the time comes.”Only then did Hu Zi take the paper and turn to leave.
Bai Yihua then took out his pistol and stared at the ghost's head that appeared and disappeared in front of him. He decided to spend as much time as possible with the Japanese to buy time for the transfer of troops.
When the Japanese were about ten meters away from Bai Yihua, they suddenly stood up. They wanted to give Bai Yihua a surprise attack and capture him alive. Bai Yihua fired a few shots with his gun, and seven or eight Japanese immediately fell to the ground. The other Japanese were so scared that they quickly lay on the ground. Bai Yihua saw that the devil did not dare to go forward, so he quietly retreated. Just like that, the distance between Bai Yihua and the ghost increased again. Bai Yihua knew very well that the Japanese had many people. If he blindly defended his position, there was a possibility that he would be surrounded. At that time, he would really be unable to escape. Perhaps the ghosts saw that there was no movement on Bai Yihua's side, so they stood up again and pounced on Bai Yihua. Bai Yihua fired again, and a few more ghosts fell to the ground. Bai Yihua seized this opportunity to quickly retreat. This group of Kwantung Army was very experienced in combat. They could also see that Bai Yihua was retreating bit by bit, so they also pushed forward bit by bit. When they got up for the third time, they had already reached Bai Yihua's second hiding spot, causing Bai Yihua to break out in cold sweat. He didn't dare to continue fighting with the Japanese and quickly retreated. Just as he moved a few steps, he suddenly felt his body sink and his vision went black. Bai Yihua understood that he had fallen into a trap dug by the hunter. A large piece of snow buried him. Bai Yihua felt fortunate that he did not feel any pain. He knew that there were no tree branches sharpened by the hunter in this trap. Otherwise, he would really have lost his life.
This was the trap. It allowed Bai Yihua to escape the pursuit of the Japanese. In the beginning, Bai Yihua did not dare to move at all. He was worried that he would be discovered by the Japanese. Bai Yihua pricked up his ears and listened to the commotion outside. At first, there was the sound of messy footsteps, followed by the sound of people talking. After a long time, the surroundings fell into silence.
