"Boom..." A faint sound of horse hooves suddenly rang in Zhou Cheng's ears, very dull, like thunder.

The sound became louder and louder, and the land under my feet began to tremble.

After waiting for another half a minute, a little fire appeared at the end of the official road, and then slowly turned into a fire dragon, quickly approaching the heavy machine gun position.

"The devils are here, everyone is ready for battle!" Zhou Cheng's eyes were filled with excitement and he said with an excited expression.

I personally squatted behind a 92-type thrust, loaded the bullets, clasped the handle of the machine gun, and put the flames getting closer and closer on the official road into the sight, ready to hold the fire at any time!

The cavalry squadron leader rushed to the front of the team with one horse because everyone left all the extra equipment in the county town, and the extra fifty kilograms of supplies on the horse's back did not add too much weight to the war horse.

Running as fast as ever, at the speed in front of you, you can return to Zhangzhuang Town to report in another half an hour.

As for the safety of the troops, he was not worried at all.

The surrounding terrain is flat and there is almost no ambush.

Even if the National Salvation Army takes the risk of setting up an ambush, with the current speed of the cavalry, it can definitely break through the ambush circle and get out of the predicament at the moment the opponent shoots.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

The dull shooting sound of the heavy machine gun suddenly passed through the horse's hooves and reached the ears of the squadron leader, and then he saw six flames appearing thirty or forty meters ahead.

Under the cover of night, these flames were particularly dazzling, and you could tell at a glance that they were shot by heavy machine guns.

The squadron leader's face turned pale. He was full of confidence just now, and in a blink of an eye, he fell into a desperate situation. Before he could lie down, the bullet had already drilled a bloody hole in his chest, and then another hole in his back, flew out with a large amount of flesh and blood, and continued to shoot the soldiers behind him...

He fell to the ground without even seeing the figure of his opponent.

The sound of strafing is getting louder and denser, and more and more fallen cavalry are also getting more and more.

Some people fell to the ground with their men and horses, making a dull collision sound.

Some of them were only the cavalry on the horse's back and were killed. When the body fell down, one foot was still placed in the stirrup. It was dragged by the war horse for several meters before stopping...

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 people were killed or injured in the cavalry squadron.

The remaining cavalry were frightened and wanted to turn around and leave here immediately, but their march was too fast, and their huge inertia made them unable to turn around immediately. They could only rush towards the wasteland on both sides of the official road, disperse the opponent's blocking firepower, and reduce the horse speed by the way.

Several cavalrymen reacted very quickly. They pulled the reins hard and rushed out of the official road. While the heavy machine gun firepower in front had not yet been targeted by him, hurry up and reduce the turn!

The previous process went very smoothly, and the cavalry quickly slowed down, then pulled the reins and turned around, ready to speed up and leave here again.

At this moment, two more flames emerged from the thirty meters away.

The cavalry was turning around on the spot, with almost no speed, standing in front of the light machine gun like a living target.

As soon as the gunshots sounded, the three cavalrymen who were close together fell from the horse's back.

The remaining three cavalrymen were shocked and quickly leaned down, pressed their backs tightly, knocked down the belly of the war horse, urged the war horse to run and leave here quickly.

As long as the war horse speed increases and I lay on the horse's back, no matter how strong the machine gun firepower is, it will not hit me.

The machine gunner also realized that the Japanese were going to run away and immediately increased the firepower output.

I had the opportunity to aim when shooting just now. In order to save the war horse, all the bullets were greeted at the Japanese.

Time is tight now. In order not to let the cavalry slip away from their eyes, they immediately adjust the muzzle, aim at the larger target of the war horse and shoot, and leave them behind first...

Such a firefighting occurs in every corner of the battlefield.

The cavalry who left the official road had just escaped the threat of six heavy machine guns on the highway and immediately hit the guns of more than a dozen crooked handles. It would be hard to die...

The gunshots stopped, and the huge battlefield was full of war horses neighing, and the screams of the Japanese seriously injured.

The war horse, which was not hit by a bullet, stood alone on the battlefield, and occasionally licked the body of his former master with his tongue...

A little further apart, more than thirty war horses gathered together, and the horses were filled with food and ammunition.

These are all war horses without a master, followed by the cavalry squadron and did not participate in the assault just now.

The heavy machine gun is too powerful, and almost all the Japanese who were killed were shot together with their men and horses.

The powerful penetration easily tear apart the bodies of the Japanese and war horses, leaving one fist-sized blood hole after another.

If the bullet hits the limbs, it will be directly hit in two pieces, and blood and flesh will fly across, revealing the white bones inside.

On the official road closest to the heavy machine gun position, nearly forty Japanese and war horse corpses were piled up together, and the blood flowing out of the wounds gathered together, directly dyeing the ground red.

The broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere, and people walked on this official road without even a place to settle down.

Looking at the bloody scene in front of him, Zhou Cheng resisted the discomfort in his stomach and ordered loudly.

"Sweep the battlefield!"

"Weapons, ammunition, food, and the meat of the war horses that were killed, will be taken away!"

"We don't need war horses to run with weights, as long as we can march normally, so the weight of each war horse can be increased to 400 kilograms, collect the surviving war horses together, and help us transport and seize..."

"The serious Japanese wounded soldiers who can still survive will also be taken away. I will use it to you. If I can't live, I will make up for him and take the time to act."

The Third Battalion evacuated the battlefield half an hour later, wiped out 65 cavalrymen, captured six seriously injured people who could only breathe, seized 59 sets of intact cavalry equipment, 66 intact war horses, nearly 10,000 kilograms of grain and ammunition, and more than 10,000 kilograms of horse meat.

Because they did not contact the Japanese, the Japanese were passively beaten during the entire battle, and even the horse and rifles on their backs had no time to load them. The Third Battalion only sacrificed one soldier and seriously injured two. This was the biggest victory in the death toll since the establishment of the Third Battalion.

The only thing that made Zhou Cheng feel heartbroken was that he used more ammunition.

In just a few minutes of shooting, four Type 92 and two heavy machine guns actually fired more than 4,000 heavy machine gun bullets, and more than ten light machine guns fired nearly 2,000 bullets, which was equivalent to the ammunition consumption of the Third Battalion's medium-scale ambush battle.

But when he thought of seizing, he was not heartbroken.

Half of the more than 10,000 kilograms of supplies transported by the cavalry squadron were ammunition, and ten boxes were heavy machine gun bullets, which not only made up for the loss of the troops on the battlefield, but also several more boxes were added.

At the Japanese Army Command of Zhangzhuang Town, Akiyama Nakasa has been guarding the war room without rest.

Although several squadron leaders were full of confidence in the transportation and supply of cavalry, as soon as the cavalry squadron left, Akiyama Nakasa's eyelids began to thunder up and down. This was a very bad sign. I always felt that something was about to happen.

The cavalry was too fast and ran several kilometers in the blink of an eye. At this time, even if they wanted to go back on their word, they could not catch up with them now, so they could only let this matter develop.

Time passed in seconds, and the bad premonition that appeared when the baggage team was attacked appeared in his mind again, making him unable to sleep even if he wanted to sleep, so he could only wait in the war room to wait for news.

By one o'clock in the morning, the cavalry squadron had left the station for almost two hours.

An hour ago, the county town sent a telegram, and the cavalry squadron left the county town in the early morning with supplies.

Although I brought a lot of supplies, it did not affect the speed of the march. If there was no accident in the middle, I should have arrived at the entrance of the town now.

But Akiyama Nakasa did not hear the sound of the horse's hooves.

After waiting for another half an hour, the cavalry squadron was still missing.

Akiyama Nakasa became more and more anxious, and strode out of the war room, and ran towards the entrance of the town in three steps in two steps.

He raised his telescope, stared at the official road in the distance for a whole minute, and then spoke: "There is very likely something happened to the cavalry squadron!"

After saying this, his subordinates clearly felt that Akiyama Nakasa was not as confident as before, and he seemed to have been several years old.

Scan the subordinates behind him with different expressions and continued to order: "Let's wait for another half an hour. If there is no news about the cavalry squadron, we will retreat early tomorrow morning!"

The National Salvation Army Command is still in an old place in the mountains. Commander Wang Dehou and Chief of Staff Huang Yonggui take turns on duty. Every hour, investigators will send messages from the mountain to ensure that the headquarters knows the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountain as soon as possible.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, scouts from outside the mountain appeared at the entrance of the cave on time and started reporting before the people even came in.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, good news! The Japanese in Zhangzhuang Town have retreated!"

"At dawn, they left Zhangzhuang Town and rushed towards the county town. The marching speed was very fast. Our company commander followed behind and stared at me and asked me to come back and report first!"

Wang Dehou thought he had an illusion, but he heard it wrong, so he asked again: "You say what happened to the Japanese?"

"Report to the commander, has the Japanese retreated?" The scout said the words just word by word.

"In other words, we have won again in this anti-sweeping campaign!" Wang Dehou still a little disbelief.

Huang Yonggui was also shocked, but soon the confidence scene that Zhou Cheng showed when he was at the Third Battalion Station appeared in his mind, and then he became excited: "Commander, we really won!"

"It must be that the Third Battalion cut off the Japanese logistics supply line. Without food and ammunition, they would not be able to retreat unless they let the troops go hungry and fight with empty guns."

"Zhou Cheng is so awesome. Not only did he help us come up with ideas to hold the Japanese main force, but he also cut off the Japanese logistics supply line. He is simply not a human!"

Wang Dehou also slowly calmed down: "This kid is really powerful in wars, and it makes me admire you again and again."

"When we come out of the mountain and return to Zhangzhuang Town, we will pull him over no matter what we say."

"He gave us some advice. No matter whether we surrender to the Japanese in the future, we can do something in pacification."

Huang Yonggui immediately supported: "I agree, it's just that this kid is not going to be a trap."

"We tried it last time, but this kid is as cunning as a fox, always avoiding the important things and not accepting our words."

Speaking of war, Wang Dehou is very self-aware and neither of them is Zhou Cheng's opponent.

But when it comes to conspiracy, Wang Dehou has enough confidence, and the two Zhou Chengdus are not as good as him.

He snorted coldly and replied: "Then he can't help!"

"We have won such a big victory this time, and the rewards above will definitely be very generous. Then we will give him more benefits."

"If we don't get into a trap, the headquarters will spread the news that he has benefited, leaving him unable to gain a foothold in the Third Battalion."

Seeing that the commander was so confident, Huang Yonggui was relieved and immediately said: "Then I will wait and see."

"If Zhou Cheng can be really brought over, the strength of our National Salvation Army will definitely increase!"
