Perhaps the only thing that pleased Major Kazjun Murakami was that at least his head would not be used by the Chinese to build a temple in Beijing.
Because Zeng Shui's dummy bullet accurately hit his head. The bullet, which carried huge kinetic energy and rapidly deformed and flipped, directly opened the Japanese major's Tianling Cap, leaving only half of his face.
What finally allowed the Japanese soldiers who came to collect his body early the next morning to identify him was the major's collar badge, which had been covered in brains and blood. With his silver major-level command knife, the major's collar badge no longer had to be used as proof of his military exploits.
Already.
This ambush and pursuit lasted for two hours.
The Japanese troops of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, which was cut into two sections, fled towards the direction of Zeng Shui and Erguo Nan. More than 70 people, including their commander Major Murakami Kazuma, were all annihilated. Zeng Shui was killed by one person.
19 people, at a distance of more than 600 meters, he fired a total of 37 shots, killing ten Japanese horses, and 19 people were killed in one shot. As for the Chinese cavalry who were shot in the body and were eventually trampled to death by horses or caught up.
Those who had their heads chopped off with a knife were not included. The Japanese cavalry who charged the farthest were still at least 60 meters away from Zeng Shui and the idiot man's position.
No one of the more than seventy cavalrymen who were running for their lives could escape. The power of one man and one shot was so powerful.
After chasing down the Japanese invaders, the hundreds of cavalrymen looked at the soldier not far away who put away his gun and looked calm. His whole body felt cold. Fortunately, he was a comrade, not an enemy.
The group of eighty or ninety people who fled backwards did not escape much, leaving a total of eighty-six corpses. It is estimated that the number of people who could escape the pursuit in the end would not exceed the number of one palm.
As for the two small detachments of nearly 20 Japanese troops in the mountain col, when the rumble of horse hooves resounded throughout the mountain, they sent a few cavalrymen up the mountain to take a look, then turned their horses' heads and fled. They
Not only were the corpses of our compatriots who had been almost packed away, but they also left the four light machine guns there because they were light, and the two heavy machine guns were also left there, even with the bullets still loaded in them.
On the chamber.
The crazy pursuit of hundreds of cavalry had already frightened them out of fear. Amaterasu's warm embrace was obviously not as attractive as the waiting of their mother at home.
A cavalry battle that lasted for a total of five days finally came to an end as night gradually fell.
The cavalry battalion did not pursue and kill the more than 20 Japanese invaders who escaped like the Japanese aggressors who pursued the cavalry company. It was not because they did not want to avenge the brothers who died in the battle, but because the cavalry battalion commander Huang Longhai had already laid down his troops before the pursuit.
After passing the military order, no matter how far you chase, you must return as soon as it gets dark, otherwise military law will be engaged.
More importantly, they have to take the brothers of the First Company of the Qinglong Mountain Cavalry back to Qinglong Mountain. From the company commander Zhou Lao to the youngest Xiao Qingpi, a total of 60 people from the First Company of the Qinglong Mountain Cavalry Brigade are still lying in the cold snow.
on the ground, waiting for the brothers to take them home.
The sky has turned completely dark, but there are rows of torches in the mountain col that illuminate the entire mountain col.
The remains of all sixty soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Company that were found were placed in rows in rows in soft pockets simply made from military uniforms ripped from the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
There were no tears or crying, only the sad roar of the cavalry battalion commander Huang Longhai resounded throughout the valley: "Take the brothers home."
Two cavalrymen led their horses forward, one carried one side of the soft bag containing the body, hung the slipknot on the saddle, and then jumped on the horse. As if they were afraid of disturbing the sweet sleep of their comrades, they carefully urged the horses to go out of the mountain col.
Go.
The combination of two horses and three people, plus the cavalry who died in the pursuit of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, made a total of eighty-nine.
Following them, there were more than 30 villagers who escaped into the mountains during the fighting between the two armies and survived. More than 200 Japanese invaders were killed here. They can no longer live here. The Japanese invaders who come here will definitely
I will use them to vent my anger.
The heavy snow was still falling, and some empty valleys became even more deserted because of the sudden but not intense and even somewhat silent sound of horse hooves.
In the darkness of night, the reflection of the white snow and the dim light of the torches, the two-horse and three-person trio's backs were bleak and silent one after another. The man who had been riding on the horse and watching all of this quietly suddenly burst into tears.
He used to be the boss of Qinglong Mountain. He led hundreds of brothers to block roads and robbed people. He even ambushed the Japanese infantry brigade twice with Chen Yunfa and Mo Xiaomao. It was not that he had never seen blood or sacrifice. He
He is also a second lieutenant officer in the most elite special brigade of the Independent Regiment. Relying on his superior fighting ability, he is even the darling of the special brigade. Almost everyone thinks that he will be an elite soldier in the future.
However, for the battlefield, he is still a new soldier. He has not seen the bloody battlefield, and he has not been able to bear such a huge sacrifice. In particular, he has always felt guilty for not fulfilling his duty as a scout.
The Japanese ambush came without any warning.
Although the ambush distance of the Japanese army was far beyond his ability, even a veteran might not be able to do better than him.
However, his brothers are dead, but he is still alive.
The idiot man once again felt heartbroken, as if he had been dug out from under the Qinglong Mountain bandit brothers who were pressing down on him to protect him. However, this time, he also felt deep self-blame.
"brother......
brother where are you
The sky started to rain again
I want you to be like the dawn
appear in my eyes
where is brother
can't hear your breathing
I just feel like I'm crying
...
What's easier than death
What's more beneficial than falling down
no torch
I only have the courage to ignite myself
Prove our courage with sacrifice
What's more scary than death
What's more invincible than bullets
...
Because we will always be together
Use sacrifice to prove that we have not given up
.......
"
Xiao Bing Zeng Shui's song suddenly sounded in the empty valley.
That was a song taught to him by the veterans of the Independence Regiment. At this moment, Zeng Shui suddenly understood all the meanings contained in that song. Whether it was a song to die in battle or a cavalry brother who accompanied them silently.
, they proved with their sacrifices that we have not given up.
Gradually, the cavalry responded with low and desolate songs to the soldiers' cry. Everyone could not help but burst into tears, but their eyes brightened as they stared fiercely at the road ahead.
No matter what the future holds, no matter whether their future selves will live or die in battle, they are no longer afraid. Because brothers will always be together, and there will always be brothers holding torches to help them find their way home.
road.
Bring your brothers home.
The cavalry battalion did it. In one day, the cavalry battalion returned to Qinglong Mountain carrying the eighty-nine brothers who died in the battle.
Deng Wen stared at the eighty-nine corpses placed in front of him for ten full minutes. He personally wiped the blood off the faces of his soldiers with a towel, then turned around silently and sat in the headquarters for a long time.
, and then issued the order to bury his subordinates.
The cavalry brigade is not without the courage to endure huge sacrifices. Last time, with Liu Lang's contact, more than 1,000 people in the brigade faced the Japanese machine gun positions north of Rehe, and 300 of them were killed. Deng Wen had never seen such grief.
However, it was actually the first time for the cavalry brigade that the first cavalry company was killed in battle. More importantly, their death was because of his military orders.
It was his carelessness as a commander that led to the ruin of his first cavalry company. Like the second-rate male eagle master, Deng Wen deeply blamed himself for this.
At the same time, in Chengde City, Major General Fujita Susumu, commander of the Kwantung Army's Rehe First Mixed Brigade, looked at a yard full of people, most of whom were naked and as cold as a hardwood due to the cold weather in northern China.
The corpses of his subordinates looked ashen.
The "wolf hunting" plan was proposed by him and was personally implemented by Major Kazjun Murakami, the deputy captain of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, whom he admired very much. However, the final result was that the "wolf" was not hunted, and the hunter almost died.
Glossy.
The 280 men of two cavalry squadrons, plus 560 fine military horses and more than 60 Mongolian horses responsible for baggage, were almost completely lost. Only 26 people and 26 horses were able to return to Jehol.
All in all, the two elite cavalry squadrons of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment now only have two cavalry detachments left, and they can almost be dismantled.
If it had not been found that Major Murakami Kazjun's body was among them, Susumu Fujita would have made him commit seppuku in the direction of His Majesty the Emperor.
Fujita Susumu's angry roar lasted for a full hour at the Chengde City garrison headquarters, and no one dared to take a step closer to him.
The two commanders from both China and Japan were heartbroken during this hunting and counter-hunting operation led by the Japanese, whether they were silent or angry.
