"Rumble..." the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder on the mountain road, and the sound became louder and louder.
Soon a group of cavalry appeared at the end of the mountain road, wearing the uniforms of the Shanxi-Sui Army, carrying horse rifles on their backs, and sabers on their waists, charging towards the entrance of the village with great momentum.
"The village is just ahead, everyone, hurry up!" the company commander leading the team shouted at the top of his lungs.
He kicked the war horse's belly with both feet, trying to rush into the village faster.
The entrance to the village was quiet, not even a single person was seen, and there was no smoke in the village. This was so abnormal.
The company commander realized something was wrong and frowned subconsciously, but finally decided to enter the village.
He can't control that much.
The troops needed food, and the time given to them by the division commander was very tight. It was impossible to send people to investigate first and then enter the village.
After rushing all the way to the entrance of the village, they loudly ordered: "The first row rushes to the left, the second row rushes to the right, and the others rush to the innermost part of the village with me. Each squad separates to look for food."
"I have remembered it all. This place will soon become our occupied area. We must not use guns on the people."
"We must be courteous first and then attack with force. We must first use the ocean to buy food. If we can't buy it, we can then seize food by force. We must gather at least three thousand kilograms of food."
The company commander rushed into the village first and ran all the way to the other end of the village before stopping.
Disappointingly, apart from the closed courtyards and house doors, I didn't see any ordinary people along the way.
"Spread out to look for food. If there is no one around, just break in and search for it yourself. Once you find the food, leave it at the market price and then retreat. The teacher will wait for the food to be cooked. We must speed up."
"Clang..." With a sound, the gate of the closed courtyard was kicked open by the cavalry, and two cavalrymen rushed into the courtyard one after the other.
After confirming that no one was in the room, the two cavalrymen saw the excitement in each other's eyes and went into the room separately to search.
Their mission is to find food. If they can find some other financial resources while searching for food, they will definitely line their own pockets.
Therefore, every cavalryman did not want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune, and searched very carefully, not missing any corner.
As a result, their vigilance naturally dropped.
"Don't move..."
Two soldiers suddenly jumped out from behind the cabinet, one holding a rifle and the other holding a pistol. One on the left and the other on the right pointed their guns at the cavalry who was rummaging through the cabinet.
The cavalryman who was rummaging through the boxes was confused, but his reaction was not slow at all.
They all knew that the troops were seizing territory from the Eighth Route Army, and they also knew that this was wrong, but military orders could not be violated.
Suddenly the Eighth Route Army had a gun pointed at my head, and I subconsciously thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to take revenge on everyone.
He immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Eighth Route Army spare my life, we are all following orders, please don't kill me."
"As long as you obey me, I promise not to hurt you at all." The soldier holding the pistol replied.
Seeing the cavalryman nodding, the two men immediately tied the cavalryman with a rope, gagged his mouth, and hid him in the closet.
After doing all this, they picked up their weapons again and approached the cavalry who was searching in another house...
In order to prevent the Jinsui Army from getting a grain of food, the base of the stronghold was extremely thorough.
The villagers and food supplies had withdrawn into the nearby mountains before noon, and the security platoon and reconnaissance platoon directly under the Datong Independent Battalion hid inside.
If possible, directly capture the troops of the Jin-Sui Army who came to grab food.
If there are no conditions, the troops will stand still.
A full cavalry company of the Shanxi-Sui Army has less than 100 men, and the reconnaissance platoon and guard platoon do not suffer in terms of strength.
After entering the village, in order to find food as quickly as possible, the cavalry company actually divided its troops. In teams of two, they abandoned their horses and entered each courtyard to search for food. This created an excellent opportunity for the guard platoon and the reconnaissance platoon to defeat them one by one.
The two platoon commanders made a decisive decision to fight this battle and try to capture the cavalry company without firing a shot.
They are all the most powerful warriors in the Datong Independent Battalion, and they will certainly have no problem dealing with a group of cavalry who have lost their horses.
The cavalry company commander did not follow his men into the yard. He rode his horse and stood guard at the entrance of the village. He watched his men enter the yard separately, and then began to wait for news.
Five minutes passed and none of the subordinates left the yard.
Ten minutes have passed and no one has left the yard.
When the subordinates first entered the courtyard, there were some sounds of rummaging through boxes and smashing things from the nearest two courtyards.
There is no sound now, as if the subordinate has disappeared in the yard.
The company commander realized something was wrong and immediately ordered: "There is enemy situation in the village, strengthen the alert..."
After saying that, he pulled out the box cannon from the holster. The five remaining cavalrymen also held their rifles flat in their hands and stared at the surroundings with vigilance.
After waiting for another five minutes and still no subordinates came out of the yard, the company commander was 100% sure that something was wrong with them, and subconsciously wanted to order his subordinates to protect him and retreat.
But as soon as the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
A cavalry company disappeared for no reason, not even a body was seen, and the reason is unknown.
As a company commander, if he went back like this, the division commander would definitely kill him.
Immediately change the order: "Everyone dismount, cover me into the yard in front, find out what happened to the brothers inside?"
The remaining five subordinates, three in front and two behind, protected the company commander in the middle, and slowly approached the courtyard gate.
"No one is in the yard, it's safe!" the leading soldier shouted.
A total of six people entered the courtyard through this.
There were three houses in front, and the doors were all open, but there was no movement at all inside.
"You two go in, the others will cover with me!" the company commander ordered seriously.
The two men got into the house one after another and searched around but found nothing...
"Company commander, there is no one in the house!" his subordinates ran out to report.
"Where did the two brothers who just entered the yard go?" the company commander shouted with a look of disbelief on his face.
When his subordinates shook their heads, a voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the courtyard wall.
"Don't move, you are surrounded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five heads appeared on the courtyard wall, each holding a gun in his hand and pointing it at everyone.
"There are people over there too..." a subordinate shouted.
At the same time, five people appeared from behind the wall on the other side, pointing rifles at everyone.
"There are people on the roof too..." another subordinate shouted. He was so nervous that he began to stutter when he spoke.
Two light machine guns were mounted on the roof, one on the left and one on the right, with their black muzzles pointing directly at everyone.
This is definitely the deadliest threat.
There were only six people in the yard, including the company commander, and they were equipped with a box cannon and five rifles. Any abnormal movement might cause the two light machine guns to open fire, shooting a barrage of bullets like rain on everyone.
The company commander was confused, but there was no resistance.
He doesn't want to die yet, and the opponent is the Eighth Route Army. As long as he surrenders, he will definitely survive.
No matter how unwilling I was, I could only raise my hands obediently and become a prisoner of the garrison for no reason.
