Chapter five hundred and forty-eight was overcast by the devil
Under the dark dusk, a group of officers and soldiers in tattered clothes were lying in a prone position among the thatch in the wilderness, breathing heavily. Their dark muzzles were pointed at the empty path to the east, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
Yang Ling and the others were not able to evacuate quickly because they were carrying a large number of sick and wounded. The Japanese cavalry were clinging to their backs, determined to eat them.
The request of the wounded soldiers to leave behind the brothers who were still able to move under cover was rejected by Yang Ling, because they were brothers in the trenches. Faced with such a predicament, they should share the joys and sorrows together, rather than abandoning anyone.
Yang Ling and his brothers who were able to fight had fought several battles with the Japs who were chasing after them, but every time they were defeated, they caught up again not long after they were defeated.
These Japs are as annoying as annoying flies, but Yang Ling and the others cannot stop, because once they stop and the Japs' troops behind them catch up, it will be even more dangerous, so the two sides keep fighting and walking.
.
The Japanese cavalry was beaten twice by Yang Ling and others. After losing more than twenty people, they became smarter and no longer rushed to attack, but fell far behind.
They also knew that the group of Chinese officers and soldiers they were chasing had reached the point of exhaustion, so they just wore it out. Once the Chinese officers and soldiers in front wanted to stop and rest, they would immediately attack again.
The result of this is that Yang Ling and the others have to keep running for their lives. As their physical strength is exhausted, Yang Ling and the others are in an increasingly dangerous situation.
Now the regiment leader Zhang Handuo has taken the first step with the wounded and sick, while Yang Ling has led his brothers back to hide in this deserted grassland, preparing to lay an ambush and completely eliminate this tail that is following behind.
Company Commander Qin Shou was covered with a layer of weeds as a camouflage. The bullet had already reached the barrel of the gun. The Japs had already appeared in their field of vision. The short Japs were riding tall horses like a hunchback. They were as ugly as they could be.
.
"Vice-General, have the Japanese discovered us?"
Seeing that the little devil stopped coming from a distance, and instead stopped to drink water and eat solid food, the brothers who were ambushing in the deserted grassland suddenly became anxious.
Yang Ling, who was also the second monk, was confused. Logically speaking, they should not have been exposed if they went back and ambush here. Why didn't the Japanese come over?
"Hold still, wait for the Japs to come." Yang Ling lowered his voice to quiet the noisy brothers.
They originally planned to ambush the Japanese here, but now that the Japanese can't come, they don't dare to act rashly. Once exposed, the Japanese cavalry can charge over with just one charge. Now they are in a dilemma.
Yang Ling and the others were quietly lurking in the grassland and suffering, while the Japanese cavalry drank water and replenished food to feed their horses in a leisurely manner, seemingly not in any hurry.
As time passed by, Yang Ling lost his patience and made up his mind as the sky darkened.
As soon as it gets dark, retreat with your brothers immediately. Zhang Handuo and the others are already far away anyway, so even if the ambush fails, there will be no loss.
"Snapped!"
"Da da da......"
Just when Yang Ling and the others were hiding in the grass and preparing to ambush the little Japs, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out in the dusk in the west, accompanied by the sound of booming explosions.
The brothers who were ambushing in the grass all turned their heads and looked in the direction where Zhang Handuo and the others were retreating. They were all stunned. How could there be gunshots in the west?
When Yang Ling heard the gunshots, his expression changed. He turned around to look at the group of Japanese cavalry. Hearing the gunshots, he became excited. They all got on their horses and came over quickly.
"Damn it, could it be that the little Japs came around behind us?" Qin Shou suddenly lost his composure when he heard the crisp sound of the Sanba Gai and the crooked light machine gun in the west.
If that was the case, the wounded soldiers led by Zhang Handuo would certainly not be able to stop the Japanese, and their hearts would be in their throats.
Yang Ling looked at the Japanese cavalry who got on their horses and quickly drove their horses in this direction, and secretly cursed himself for being careless.
They were just thinking about how to ambush the Japs and sweep away their tail, but they didn't expect that the Japs deliberately followed them slowly and secretly sent people to surround their retreat.
But now Zhang Handuo and others have started fighting. If he and others rush over to help now, the Japanese cavalry in front of them will make them unable to eat.
Now we can only pray that there are not too many Japanese outflanking the retreat, and hope that Zhang Handuo and the others can hold on for a while longer and wait for rescue.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Yang Ling had already made up his mind, that is, after defeating the Japanese cavalry in front of him, he would go over to rescue Zhang Handuo and the others. Otherwise, both sides would be doomed today.
"The devils are coming, prepare to fight!"
Although the gunshots in the distance were heart-wrenching to hear, Yang Ling and the others were already riding a tiger, and they had to deal with the Japs in front of them first before they could get out to help Zhang Handuo and the others.
The brothers looked at the little devils galloping on their horses, and each one of them cursed with anger in his heart, damn, the little devils are so cunning.
When the Japanese squadron leader heard the gunshots coming from the west, he knew that the people they were outflanking had succeeded. With smiles on their faces, they all got on their horses and rode forward to prepare for support.
They chased them all the way from Ruichang County. Although they got close to Yang Ling and the others several times, they were repulsed when Yang Ling and his brothers in the rear tried their best to stop them. Instead, they lost many soldiers.
That's why the Japanese squadron leader came up with such a move. He slowly followed behind and no longer rushed to attack. Instead, he sent a part of the cavalry to outflank Yang Ling and others, preparing to kill Yang Ling and others in one fell swoop.
The Japs are plotting against Yang Ling and the others, and Yang Ling is also plotting against the Japs. However, Yang Ling and the others have been a little numb due to their continuous victories, and have not noticed that there are fewer Japs following behind. This has led to the passive situation of Yang Ling and the others.
The Japanese squadron leader was now very high-spirited, and he and the remaining thirty or so Japanese cavalry kicked the horses' belly with both feet and ran quickly towards the place where the battle was taking place.
Little did they know that in the dense grassland, Yang Ling and his brothers, who had been lying in wait for a long time, had loaded their bullets and pointed their guns at them.
"boom!"
Yang Ling was so angry now. He didn't expect that after playing with an eagle all his life, his eye was pecked by an eagle. He was so angry that he shot the head of the leading Japanese cavalryman.
At such a close range, the head of the Japanese cavalry exploded like a watermelon. The war horse carried the wind. The unbalanced Japanese cavalry flipped under the horse and was immediately stepped on by the hoofs of the horses behind it.
"Da da da......"
Lying on the ground, the machine gun fired a long burst of fire, and the Japanese cavalry who were riding forward were immediately covered in flesh and blood and fell to the ground.
The attention of the Japanese cavalry was now attracted by the gunshots in front, and they were preparing to go over to support and reap the victory. Who knew there was an ambush here. They immediately cursed and screamed.
After just firing a row of guns, the brothers put on their bayonets and rushed forward amidst Yang Ling's roar. Now they needed to resolve the battle quickly and rushed to support Zhang Handuo and the others.
