Countless passages were dug into the muddy paddy fields, and the Japanese who were broken up and broke out ran in panic, trampling the crops in the fields to a pulp.
"You bastard little devils, you won't even take the road to escape." Seeing the trampled and ruined crops, the brothers were so angry that they cursed.
The brothers have feelings for crops and land. Although they are now soldiers and fight with guns, they were once farmers tending the fields.
They also thought that after they had beaten away the Japs, they would put down their guns again and return to the fields to tend the crops. The thing they were most disgusted with was people who ruined the crops.
But the devils don't care that much, and they don't understand the brothers' feelings for crops and fields. They do all kinds of evil and murder everywhere they go, so they don't care about these crops.
Yang Ling and the others had been thinking about the Japanese high-ranking officials who had escaped, and wanted to catch up and kill them. However, they were heartbroken when they saw the rice rotting in the fields that had not been harvested in time due to the war.
But the war is not over yet, and the people are dying and fleeing. I am afraid that the crops here will only rot in the fields. The brothers' hearts have become more angry. These are debts that need to be recovered from the little devils.
.
The corpses of the Japanese were abandoned along the way. Some of them were seriously injured and could not be taken away by their own people and were killed. There were also those who were too hungry to walk and committed suicide. The scattered corpses attracted countless flies and mosquitoes.
In such a sweltering hot weather, these corpses will soon rot and stink. If not dealt with properly, it may be a plague.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help but quicken his pace and quickly finish the battle and clean up the battlefield. Otherwise, there would really be a plague. With the medical level of this era, many people would probably die.
Yang Ling and the others staggered towards the east and chased them. They were exhausted after not sleeping for several days, and numbness had replaced their fatigue and sleepiness. They were supported by their will to completely eliminate the Japanese.
Yang Ling's wound cracked again during the continuous battle, and blood seeped out, causing pain every step he took, but the same was true for the brothers.
They had sacrificed so many brothers and paid such a high price, and now they were watching helplessly as the Japanese commander was right in front of them, so how could they bear to let him go?
"Regimental deputy, I can't walk anymore..."
An extremely tired brother was sleepy, tired, and extremely weak. It was really difficult for him to continue the pursuit.
"You hide in the grass for a while and wait for us to come back." Yang Ling had no choice but to leave this brother here, and then led his men to continue the pursuit.
Along the way, they encountered several firefighting battlefields and several wounded people. From their mouths, they learned that there were about dozens of Japs, protecting a high-ranking official and running towards the east. Their surviving brothers had already caught up with them.
Already.
"Brothers, hold on a little longer and we will catch up soon." Although Yang Ling was also very tired, he had to encourage his brothers who were breathing heavily.
When Yang Ling and the others had chased forward for about five or six miles, gunfire suddenly came from the front again, including the sound of both 79 and 38 rifles.
The sound of gunfire was like a shot in the arm. The exhausted brothers once again forced themselves to move forward step by step, hoping to go up to support their friendly brothers and capture the Japanese Masao Maruyama.
But as soon as they turned around a mound, they saw more than a hundred Japanese cavalry on tall horses approaching on the road not far away, sabers raised high.
In front of the Japs cavalry, dozens of blood-soaked brothers were stumbling back. Those who ran slower were stabbed by the Japs cavalry when they caught up, and blood rained down on them.
"It's the Japanese cavalry!" Huzi screamed when he saw the yellow dog skin on the cavalry.
The exhausted brothers were also at a loss for a moment. They did not expect to encounter the Japanese cavalry here, which seemed to be a fresh force.
"Quick, get to the mound and set up the machine gun!"
Yang Ling reacted the fastest. He knew the serious consequences of encountering the Japanese cavalry on such a flat road, so he roared immediately.
The brothers stumbled and ran towards the mound on the roadside. Many brothers fell down and were in a state of confusion.
The arrogant Japanese cavalry also discovered Yang Ling and the others, but they did not slow down their horses, but urged their horses to rush over with faster cavalry.
There were also Japanese soldiers showing off, holding up their lances and shooting at the bloodied brothers. Many of them were knocked to the ground, struggling, and then trampled by horse hooves...
Although the brothers who were being chased cursed angrily, they were helpless. Fortunately, when they saw Yang Ling and the others, they ran towards the mound as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
The Japanese cavalry did not take Yang Ling and the others seriously, and the mounds in the hilly area were not steep. They could charge up just by lifting the reins, so they rushed over straight away.
The Japs' lances kept firing, and the bullets hit Yang Ling and the others, splashing mud and gravel, but Yang Ling and the others resisted firing because the brothers hadn't come back yet.
"Hurry! Run fast!" The brothers were lying on the mound with bullets loaded. They looked at the brothers stumbling back with their hearts in their throats.
"Kill to change—" The Japanese officer's saber gleamed with cold light, and when he pressed forward, the Japanese cavalry rolled up a large plume of smoke and thundered over.
Although the number of more than a hundred Japanese cavalry was not large, the power of their charge together was still astonishing. Especially when facing this impact head-on, the pressure made the brothers' teeth chatter.
Those brothers who collided with the Japanese finally ran up the mound and saved their lives.
"Aim at the horse! Fire!" Yang Ling still maintained his composure, and his calm voice reassured the nervous and panicked brothers who had collided with the Japanese.
"Bang-bang-bang-"
"Da da da...ta da da..."
The brothers didn't have many bullets. They followed Yang Ling's orders and shot at the Japanese horses. The dull gunfire suddenly became intensive.
"hiss!"
The horses the Japs were sitting on screamed in pain after being shot. Some fell forward, and some threw the Japs heavily away. The front line of the Japs' cavalry suddenly screamed in blood mist.
These Japanese cavalry were also well-trained. They did not expect that the Chinese officers and soldiers would hit the horses with larger targets, causing more than 20 horses to fall.
They reacted quickly, and those behind them reined in their horses to bypass the fallen horses and Japanese cavalry, and rushed up from the side.
"Grenade hello!"
A bunch of grenades flew out and landed on the Japs cavalry one after another. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, causing the Japs to flip over and wail.
A few Japanese soldiers who slipped through the net rode up to the mound, but they did not get any favors. The brothers dodged the sabers that struck down, and the Japanese cavalrymen were also dragged down by various hands and feet, and then stabbed to death with bayonets.
Got the blood gourd.
In just one encounter, the Japs lost more than thirty cavalrymen. Seeing the blood, the brothers became murderous and shot at the Japs cavalry one after another.
The Japanese cavalry could not charge forward, and they were repeatedly shot off their horses, so they knew they had encountered a tough situation.
They were just the forward reconnaissance cavalry squadron of the 106th Division. Seeing that the battle was not going well, they decisively took the wounded and returned the way they came.
Although the Japs cavalry were repelled by Yang Ling and the others, they did not dare to pursue them any further because they found from the items found on the Japs' corpses that they were not Japs from the Maruyama Brigade, but actually from the 106th Division.
"Quickly, go back and report the situation to the hotel!" Yang Ling realized the changes in the battlefield situation and no longer cared about chasing Maruyama Masao.
Now the 74th Army is in chaos due to its pursuit of the defeated Maruyama Brigade. If the 106th Division suddenly rushes over now, the consequences will be unimaginable.
