These two words suddenly popped into the head of the cavalry squad leader.
"Boom boom boom..."
Before the man could move, three grenades fell from the sky and landed near him. One of the grenades exploded under the belly of his horse.
The war horse was blown over, and the team leader riding on the horse was not spared, and was blown over too!
The dozen or so cavalrymen who were still alive in the obstacle area continued to charge forward, and finally five cavalrymen actually rushed through this death zone.
Holding their sabers high, they were like five revengeful warriors, roaring and charging towards the Eighth Route Army position.
The enemy Li Hao no longer paid attention to this and ordered calmly.
"Keep shooting, one machine gun is responsible for one cavalry. Only hit people, not horses, keep the horses!"
"Da da da……"
As soon as the order came out, he started to fire. Bullets flew towards the Japanese on horseback like a rain of bullets, beating him into a sieve before stopping.
"Platoon leader, we won! More than 80 elite cavalrymen were killed by us!" Li Wen put down his machine gun and looked at the scattered corpses on the road ahead, including those of Japanese soldiers and those of war horses. He couldn't believe it.
His expression was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help but sigh.
"Win~" Li Hao exclaimed with a long breath.
The tense nerves were completely relaxed, and then he explained.
"The reason why we can win the battle is that the terrain here is favorable to us."
"There are mountains next to the highway. The cavalry can only attack us on the highway. The frontal defense line that needs to be blocked is less than fifteen meters. Bullets fired from five machine guns can block the highway tightly, making it difficult for them to escape.
!”
"Coupled with the roadblocks and booby traps we have worked so hard to lay out, the location is on our side, and it is impossible for the little devil not to die!"
"What are you still doing? The troops will rush out to clean the battlefield immediately!"
"Didn't you see that there are many unbeaten war horses on the road? They are all treasures. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them. You must bring them all back to me!"
"We also need to take all the equipment, ammunition and equipment that the Japanese have with us back!"
"With them, we can form a cavalry company when we become more developed in the future!"
"Those horses that were killed can't be wasted. Cut off all the horse legs and bring them back. They are all high-quality horse meat, enough for the four of us to eat for several months!"
"Last and most important, you must clean the battlefield quickly. You must retreat in half an hour at most!"
"If there is cavalry, there must be infantry. It is impossible for the Japanese to let their cavalry act alone. So I am sure that there must be infantry following these cavalry!"
"I'm not afraid of two-legged infantry. The county town is dozens of kilometers away from here. They won't be able to get through until early tonight and early morning!"
"What I'm most worried about is the infantry who travel in cars."
"Although cars cannot run very fast on this kind of road, they are not much slower than cavalry. Once they come over, even if there is only one infantry squad, our situation will be very dangerous. If it is an infantry squadron, we have almost no chance of winning!"
After thinking for a while, Li Hao still felt that it was not safe and shouted to the dozens of subordinates in front of him who were already busy.
"Do any of you know how to ride a horse? If so, come forward and come out with me~"
Although the Red Army did not form a large-scale cavalry unit, in order to ensure the speed of delivering messages, correspondents were basically equipped with war horses.
On the spot, two old Red Army soldiers who had served as communications soldiers and security guards stood up.
"Get a few more grenades from the Japanese and follow me now!" Li Hao continued to order.
After saying that, he carefully took down the two booby traps that had not yet exploded, put them in his arms, climbed on a horse that his subordinates gathered back, and ran towards the county seat. He ran for five or six miles in a row, with only three miles in one section.
A narrow road that is four meters wide and can only accommodate one car appears.
"Xuxu..."
Li Hao decisively tightened the reins and made the horse stop, and then gave orders to his two subordinates behind him.
"Right here, use the grenades that I brought with me to blow up a few big holes on the road. If the little Japanese infantry comes in a car, I will let them change to two legs after they get here and continue moving forward. Even if they plan to continue
If we take a car, it will take them at least half an hour to repair the road and ensure our retreat and transfer!"
"First think of a way to dig a small hole in the ground, throw the grenade into the hole and explode it, so that the hole will be bigger!"
After saying that, Li Hao took two grenades and started laying booby traps on the road.
Li Hao didn't expect these two booby traps to kill many Japs. The purpose of setting up the booby traps was to remind him through the explosion of the booby traps that the Japs were coming.
On the highway, more than 20 cars carrying more than 200 Japanese soldiers bumped along at a very slow speed.
The road conditions were so bad that even though the squadron leader kept urging the driver to speed up, and the driver's forehead was covered with sweat, the marching speed still could not be increased.
In the words of the driver, there is a danger of the car overturning if the speed is any faster.
The squadron leader doesn't want the troops to suffer non-combat attrition before they encounter the enemy, so he can only acquiesce.
Moreover, the subordinates in the carriage couldn't stand the bumps. He didn't want his troops to catch up with the enemy but lose the combat effectiveness to attack the enemy because of the bumps along the way.
"boom……"
An explosion suddenly sounded at the front of the convoy, and then there was a sound of brakes on the highway.
Under the influence of huge inertia, the squadron leader sitting in the co-pilot almost hit the windshield.
"Baga! Why did you stop the car? What happened with the explosion just now?" the squadron leader yelled, showing no mercy at all.
Beads of sweat immediately appeared on the driver's forehead, and he quickly replied: "Sir, I don't even know what a lowly job is!"
"boom……"
As soon as he finished speaking, another explosion sounded at the front of the team.
The squadron leader couldn't bear it anymore, opened the door and jumped out, ready to rush forward to see what happened for himself.
"Sir, the road in front has been damaged. The enemy has blown up several big holes with grenades. Unless troops are sent to repair it, cars can't get through!" The second lieutenant of the forward team rushed over in time.
"Can you go around it?" the squadron leader asked, staring at the second lieutenant, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
"No!" the second lieutenant replied, shaking his head.
“The road ahead is too narrow and it’s impossible to go around it!”
The squadron leader's frown deepened, and without saying a word, he raised his legs and walked forward.
One of the two booby traps exploded on the side of the car, and the other was detonated by the Japanese infantry who got out of the car to be on guard. There were two wailing and screaming soldiers lying next to them.
In front of the road, there are five large potholes lined up in the middle of the road.
"It must have been the Eighth Route Army that attacked Lijia'ao. They wanted us to give up our cars and walk, so we wouldn't be able to catch up with them!" the squadron leader judged with a stern face.
The deputy immediately suggested: "I will immediately order the troops to get out of the car and march quickly to pursue them!"
"The Eighth Route Army carried a large number of wounded soldiers, and there are cavalry detachments chasing and harassing them. They will definitely not be able to run fast!"
The squadron leader shook his head and refused: "No, wouldn't this be just what the Eighth Route Army wanted? Order the troops to get off the bus to build the road, and we will continue to chase them in cars. The cars are fast, and it won't take long to make up for the lost time!"
