"Is there any movement? Don't fool me, kid, I... um..."
Wu Chengfeng didn't believe it at first, but then his expression suddenly changed. He clearly heard waves of tiny vibrations coming from the gentle drizzle. Although the sound was very weak, you could still hear it if you listened carefully.
"They are cavalry, and there are a lot of them!"
Wu Chengfeng's face changed slightly. At this time, all the national army troops had evacuated from Xiao County, and it was already late at night. Suddenly such a cavalry team appeared from the direction of Xuzhou. It was self-evident whether it was an enemy or a friend.
Wu Chengfeng turned to the deputy battalion commander Liu Yi behind him and asked: "Old Liu, have you laid all the landmines sent out this morning?"
Liu Yi nodded, "Don't worry about the camp, all 120 landmines have been planted, and I'm sure little Japan will have a good drink."
Wu Chengfeng nodded: "Okay, immediately order the brothers to prepare for battle. And Lao Ge, please return to the team quickly. Listen to my orders later and then shoot again. You don't have to save bullets when fighting. You can fight as hard as you want.
Our host will give you as much as we can, we have only one purpose, and that is to never let the little devil cross the river, do you understand?"
Ge Sanshun gave him a roll of his eyes, "You're bossing me around, let's see what you can do. Everyone's officials are of the same size, why should I listen to you?"
But now Ge Sanshun can only say a few words. The world is huge these days, and the financial backer is the biggest. The submachine gun he uses is given to him by others. It doesn't matter if he can be commanded by others.
Therefore, even though he was shouting like this, Ge Sanshun still nodded, bent down and ran along the trench towards his position, his heavy footsteps making a splashing sound in the trench where there was already a lot of water.
A few more minutes passed, and the faint sound of horse hooves had clearly reached everyone's ears. Although the people on the other side couldn't be seen in the dark night, everyone could tell from the sound of horse hooves that there must be a lot of people on the other side.
Wu Chengfeng looked at the figures lying around in front of the trenches and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone, please listen to me. No one is allowed to shoot without receiving my order! Who dares to shoot randomly?
I jumped him."
Wu Chengfeng walked quickly in the trench while shouting in a low voice, patiently instructing the soldiers in the trench, especially when he walked up to the new recruits, he took the trouble to emphasize.
After a fierce battle some time ago, Wu Chengfeng's first battalion also lost a lot of combat personnel. Now there are nearly one-third of the more than 600 recruits in the battalion. All soldiers know that recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have seen blood have a greater combat effectiveness.
The difference between him and the veterans was not even the slightest. Eighty or ninety percent of the deserters on the battlefield were recruits, so he couldn't help but be cautious.
Wu Chengfeng's blocking position was set up south of the Xiaosha River. Although they were separated from the enemy by a river, the water in Xiaosha River was not very deep. He also did not think that the chest-deep river water could block the Japanese army on the other side of the river, so
The best way is to stop the Japanese troops on the other side of the river as much as possible.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, but soon fell silent again. It was obvious that the cavalry on the opposite side had stopped, and then several more shouts came from the opposite side. Wu Chengfeng could clearly hear what the writing voice said.
It's Japanese.
Wu Chengfeng's judgment was correct. The people coming from the other side of the river were the 18th Cavalry Brigade led by Major Kanshichiro Amagi, the vanguard of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army.
The night was very dark. Major Amagi Kanshichiro dismounted his horse three to four hundred meters away from the river. Looking at the river that was disappearing and appearing in front of him, he ordered: "Come here, a small team will go over and check if there is any water in this river."
Bridge, and then check the depth of the river."
"Hai!"
Following the order of Major Amagi Kanshichiro, a cavalry squad urged the horses to spread out and groped towards the river. Suddenly, a bright light rang out in the darkness, and a huge explosion sounded randomly. The three of them were not far away.
The cavalryman who was more than ten meters away screamed as he fell off his horse and kept rolling on the ground. The shrill screams traveled far and wide in the dark night.
The sudden explosion completely broke the silence of the night and threw the searching Japanese cavalry into chaos.
"Baga Yalu, what's going on?" Major Amagi Kanshichiro was so angry that he yelled. Since it was a bit far away and it was night time, in addition to seeing a flash of fire and an explosion, he
I don't know what happened.
But he soon knew the answer. A sergeant commander stumbled over and reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, Major, the search team encountered a landmine planted by the Chinese, and three cavalrymen were injured."
"Landmines? The Chinese have laid mines here, so there must be their ambush here." Amagi Kanshichiro quickly made a judgment and immediately issued another order: "Everyone dismounts! The search team immediately searches the river.
Conduct fire reconnaissance on the other side!”
"Da da da……"
Following Amagi Kanshichiro's order, a famous cavalryman immediately dismounted. Especially the team that had reached the other side of the river set up an 11-year-old light machine gun and started shooting at the other side of the river.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
Several high-speed rotating bullets were fired at the front of the trench with scorching heat. Wisps of blue smoke rose up after the hot warheads came into contact with the moist soil.
"Everyone, stay still. No one is allowed to shoot. Little Japan is conducting fire reconnaissance. I can't spare anyone who exposes our position!"
As the Japanese army's firepower investigation intensified, some recruits gradually became a little nervous and anxious. Some of them had already taken out their guns and even turned on the safety to prepare to shoot, but they were stopped by veterans or squad leaders on the side.
"Whoever dares to shoot randomly will shoot him."
"Wang Ermazi, if you don't pay back the insurance, do you want to take a bullet?"
"Everyone lower their heads... lower their heads!"
There was a commotion in the trenches, and many corporals, squad leaders, and veterans were instructing the new recruits around them.
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out for a while. Seeing that there was no counterattack from the other side, the Japanese army began to cautiously search the surroundings. Unexpectedly, another group of fire flashed, an explosion sounded, and several more soldiers fell to the ground.
Seeing such a scene, Major Amagi Kanshichiro could no longer calm down and quickly ordered: "Quick, hurry up and clear the mines with soldiers!"
But soon someone reported, "Sir, we don't have engineers, so we can't clear mines. And it's so dark now, even if engineers come, they can't clear mines."
"how so!"
Amagi Ganshichiro's heart immediately became tense. The order given to him by the division commander was to capture Xiao County as quickly as possible and open up a channel for the arrival of follow-up troops. He did not expect to encounter such a mess.
"Your Excellency Captain, come and see, the wounds of these soldiers who were hit by mines are different from those encountered before."
Major Amagi Kanshichiro hurried over, and what he saw under the light of several torches around him was a shocking sight. Several soldiers who had been hit by mines were lying on the ground rolling around in pain, and most of their injuries were
They were all in the abdomen or crotch. Two soldiers were blown up so much that their intestines came out, and two others had their crotch areas blown away.
Seeing such a scene, Major Amagi Mishichiro felt a tightness in his crotch and involuntarily crossed his legs. No man would be able to bear it if he saw such a situation.
Amagi Kanshichiro was a little scared. Landmines, as a cheap defensive weapon, are widely used in wars, but Amagi Kanshichiro is not uncommon. But in the past, he saw people who stepped on landmines either have their legs broken or died, but
He had never seen landmines like this where all the areas that were bombed were the crotch, waist and abdomen.
A squadron leader next to Amagi Ganshichirogami and the surrounding soldiers also turned pale. He stepped forward and advised: "Major, how about we wait until dawn for the reinforcements to arrive and let them clear the mines before moving forward, otherwise it will be a waste of time."
It's really too dangerous, we can't risk the lives of our soldiers in vain."
"No!" Amagi Kanshichiro shook his head, his attitude was very resolute, "We are almost reaching Xiao County, how can we be blocked here by this small river, it is just a landmine, could it scare your courage?
?Give me the order to have a small group of soldiers dismount, drive the horses to ride on the mines, and then have the infantry follow behind and advance!"
"Your Majesty, Major, this..." The squadron leader hesitated for a moment and begged: "How about we take a detour and go around nearby to try."
No matter which country's cavalry, they always regard their war horses as their comrades and partners. How can they give up driving their own horses to step on thunder?
"Execute the order!" Major Amagi Kanchichiro Shen shouted sternly: "You have to know that we don't have much time. The order given to us by the division commander is to rush to Xiao County immediately, hold back the defeated Chinese army, and fight for our great victory.
The troops arrived to buy time. If the division commander arrives tomorrow morning and finds us still wandering by the river, don't you know the consequences?"
When the squadron leader heard this, he immediately thought of the rigid face of the division commander, Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He gritted his teeth and agreed.
Soon, more than a dozen cavalrymen drove more than 20 war horses to the river beach, and whipped the horses' buttocks hard with whips. The painful horses immediately started running wildly on the river beach.
Soon, landmines jumped up on the river beach, and the rising flames lit up the river beach. The same rumbling explosions soon killed more than 20 war horses on the river beach.
.
Amagi Kanshichiro nodded with satisfaction: "Yoshi, the war horses have blasted a passage. Let the warriors get down to the river quickly and find a suitable place to cross the river immediately!"
Naturally, every move of the Japanese army could not be hidden from Wu Chengfeng and others on the other side of the river. With the help of the faint starlight, Wu Chengfeng saw a large group of Japanese soldiers descending the river to prepare to cross the river. He knew that the time was up, and shouted to the people behind him: "Artillery platoon, press
Act as planned!”
"Dong dong dong dong..."
As bursts of low gunfire sounded, illumination bombs emitting dazzling light suddenly rose in the sky, and the battle began...
