Seeing the Japanese begin to advance, Xu Rui, who was at the front of the cavalry formation, raised his saber and made a weak move forward. The three cavalry battalion commanders walking on the far right side of the formation immediately howled: "All are here, move forward~~
~”
The more than 1,200 cavalry soldiers who were waiting in full formation spontaneously urged their horses to move forward.
The crunching sound of horse hooves trampling on the thick snow was immediately heard on the snow.
Xu Rui lightly reined in the horse, and the macho man slowed down the horse's speed slightly, and quickly returned to the queue, walking in line with the first column of the 7th Battalion, but he saw that the horse's head was shaking and its mane was flying.
, the sharp saber was raised upright on the soldier's chest, and the cold murderous intent instantly filled the entire battlefield, making the soldiers breathless.
In addition to Xu Rui, the king of soldiers, even the veterans from the 7th Cavalry Division were instinctively nervous.
Needless to say, those Mongolian herdsmen who had just joined the army were so nervous that they almost suffocated.
Because of nervousness, some of the familiar technical movements during normal training would go wrong, and even the rhythm of horse steps could no longer be kept consistent. As they walked, the formation of the independent group began to become uneven.
Some people walked faster, while others walked slower. The original three straight lines turned into three wavy lines.
Fortunately, the distance between the three front and rear horizontal formations was large enough, so the two teams at the front and back did not get crowded together.
However, Xu Rui also knew that he could no longer let his nervousness continue to spread.
In ancient times, the reason why many armies collapsed without a fight was because some soldiers could not bear the confrontation before the war. They felt fear because of nervousness, and had the idea of retreating because of fear. Then their will collapsed and they turned around and ran away. Finally, it evolved from a single person's retreat.
Everyone fled together, and an army collapsed without a fight in the blink of an eye.
Among them, the most famous one is the Battle of Feishui between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty. This is where the idiom "Every tree and every tree is a soldier" comes from!
Even if they dare not run away under the cruel military discipline, if any nervousness continues to spread like poisonous weeds, it will seriously attack the soldiers' nerves and bodies, making their reactions slower and their movements stiffer, making them extremely war-resistant.
It is very likely that he will not be able to exert even one point of his strength in the battle.
This is the reason why the survival rate of recruits entering the battlefield for the first time is low.
At this time, the commander's ability is tested. An excellent commander will always have a way to relieve the tension of the soldiers.
During the suffocating march, Xu Rui's low and penetrating voice suddenly sounded again: "Don't be afraid, everyone. If you are really afraid, just turn around and look at your comrades on the left and right! You are not alone. You are even more...
You are not fighting alone, more than a thousand brothers from the entire independent regiment are always with you!"
Many recruits subconsciously looked around and found that all the brothers in the battalion were marching with them. Even the battalion commander and regimental commander were with them. Their nervousness immediately eased a lot. With the strength of the people, they became more courageous.
.
But Xu Rui's speech did not stop. He wanted not only to be courageous, but also to inspire!
Xu Rui emphasized his tone slightly and continued: "If you still feel scared, think about your relatives at home, your parents, your wife and children. If you shrink back and run away at this time, the Japanese will come again."
If you capture Suiyuan, your parents will be killed, and your wife and children will be enslaved and ravaged!"
After a slight pause, Xu Rui's tone became louder and louder: "Can you watch your parents being killed, your wife being raped, and your children being enslaved?"
"cannot!"
"cannot!"
"cannot!"
More than a thousand officers and soldiers responded loudly.
"Would you rather live like a coward, or..." Xu Rui increased the volume to the maximum, almost tearing his throat, and the sharp voice almost pierced the void and reached the ears of the Japanese opposite, "Would you rather live like a coward?"
Living like a coward without dignity, or are you willing to be a man, even for just a few seconds?"
"man!"
"man!"
"man!"
Accompanied by the tsunami-like shouts of all the officers and soldiers, the tension was completely vented. Not only that, the hearts of every soldier were full of fighting spirit: for their parents, for their wives and children, fight against the Japanese devils.
, either you die or I die, come on, come on, come on, you little devils!
He could be angry but not vented. Although he had not yet reached the optimal distance for charging, Xu Rui could not wait any longer.
The next moment, Xu Rui once again raised the saber in his hand and drew it forward with all his strength, roaring at the top of his lungs: "Everyone is here, come with me, charge, charge~~"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
More than a thousand soldiers responded to the mountain call again, and then began the final sprint.
In an instant, more than a thousand war horses changed from a trot to a fast run, and finally turned into a sprint. The horses' hooves trampled on the snow, and the sound of the hooves was like thunder. Three wavy lines were constantly surging, like a rolling tide, heading forward.
Sweeping away, looking around, what Xu Rui saw in the eyes of the soldiers was no longer fear, but a raging fighting spirit, kill!
…
Almost at the same time, the Japanese cavalry on the opposite side also began to charge.
Seeing the Chinese cavalry sweeping in like a tidal wave and with high morale, Shigeru Katagiri's eyes immediately filled with a touch of fanaticism. It must be admitted that the militaristic education of the little devils is indeed terrible. They can turn everyone into a normal thinker.
The patriotic youth were completely brainwashed into fanatical killing machines.
Seeing the Chinese cavalry rushing over with loud shouts, the Japanese cavalry also became excited in an instant.
Katagiri Shigeru took the lead in raising the saber in his hand, and howled loudly: "The Empire of Japan is on board~~"
The next moment, more than a thousand Japanese cavalrymen who were charging were shouting loudly.
Katagiri Shigeru then shouted, His Majesty, the Emperor is on board, and more than a thousand Japanese cavalry also shouted: On board.
In order to overwhelm their opponents in terms of momentum, the soldiers of the two armies shouted louder and louder, almost breaking their throats. Each of them shouted so hard that his face was red, and the veins on his neck were bulging. In addition, the waves were like a surging tide.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly intertwined into a high-pitched and exciting battlefield symphony.
Even from thousands of meters away, Masahiro Baba could feel the soaring music.
Without realizing it, Baba Masaro's hands began to wave, as if beating the beat. In addition to being a fanatical warmonger, this old devil was also a music lover. As the distance between the cavalry of the two armies became shorter and shorter, the old devil
The frequency of waving his hands became faster and faster, so fast that he was shaking like a convulsion.
Finally, the old devil raised his hands fiercely, and then paused!
The next moment, the two waves of cavalry collided head-on on the battlefield. The sound of bones shattering when the horses collided, the sound of gold and iron when sabers clashed, and the screams of the soldiers on both sides before they died.
The sound immediately intertwined into one, and the two armies were suddenly overwhelmed with people and horses turning on their backs.
…
Set the time back half a second to the moment before the impact.
When Xu Rui had no time to react, he suddenly turned sideways and narrowly escaped the enemy's attack. Almost at the same time, the saber in Xu Rui's hand also passed through the enemy's abdomen. As for his own sword skills,
Xu Rui was absolutely confident and would not stop once he succeeded in striking. The strong man did not slow down at all and continued to face the second Japanese.
"Nisuchi!" The second Japs was an experienced rider, and he actually targeted the macho man.
But how could Xu Rui let the Japs get what they wanted? He stretched out his knife diagonally, and heard a loud bang. The Japs' saber that had stabbed the tough man in the neck had been deflected. The next moment, the tough man violently collided with the Japs' mount.
When they were together, there was a bang, and the Japanese's mount was knocked away.
Vaguely, Xu Rui seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
Xu Rui is convinced that the strong man's bones will never break!
Before Xu Rui could take a breath, the third Japanese soldier rushed over at an astonishing high speed.
This time Xu Rui finally adjusted, and slashed down diagonally before the little devil on the opposite side. The little devil didn't dodge, but also slashed down with one strike. At this time, the competition was about who was faster, without any skills at all! In the lightning flash,
In the meantime, Xu Rui's saber had already passed the Japanese's neck first.
The devil's head immediately flew high into the air.
As soon as the head flew up, the Japs lost control of the saber in their hands. Then it lost its proper accuracy and almost swiped along the side of Xu Rui's neck. If there was even a slight difference, Xu Rui's head would also fly up, but that's it.
The slightest difference determines the life and death of the two people. Xu Rui survives, but the enemy opposite is killed!
Before he killed three Japanese cavalrymen in a row, his eyes were empty and he had already penetrated the Japanese cavalry formation!
However, Xu Rui did not rein in the strong man immediately, but allowed the strong man to continue to fly forward, rushing for more than 500 meters, and finally gently rubbed the mane on the strong man's neck. The strong man gradually slowed down until he finally stopped, and then
When he looked back, he saw that less than half of the cavalry who could still follow him were left.
Of the more than 600 cavalry who attacked, only about 500 were left behind Xu Rui.
Seeing the three cavalry formations behind him that had stopped and become much sparse, Xu Rui couldn't help but feel pity.
The war was so cruel. The comrades who had galloped with him just now and shouted loudly were lying quietly five hundred meters in front of him, turning into corpses. However, the Japanese did not ask for help.
Seeing the advantage, Xu Rui made a rough estimate. There were at least 600 Japanese corpses lying in the middle of the position!
In the first round of the contest, the two sides should have ended in a draw!
But Xu Rui is very confident that in the second round of the competition, they will have the absolute upper hand!
Because the Japanese's technical and tactical abilities cannot be greatly improved through this round of competition, but the cavalry of their Chahar Independent Regiment can. Actual combat is the most effective way to train troops! Of course it is also the most cruel!
Taking a deep breath of cold air, Xu Rui raised his saber again and shouted: "I have them all, regroup!"
