Chapter 109: Struggle with Xu Guanwu (5)
Marchand's first reaction was that he had been tricked, and all the men and horses went down, and he was crushed under the horse, and hurriedly shouted to the whole platoon of soldiers, and also shouted loudly to himself: "Hurry up, hurry up, run out, run out." β
Shouting like this, the men and horses are overturned, and it is not easy to run out. One of his legs was pressed by the horse's body, and he wished that his legs were about to be broken, but Ma Shang, with years of experience and kung fu, made a great effort, and pushed away his big white horse with both hands, and was lucky to pull out the leg that was suppressed.
Marchand looked up, good fellow, this pit is too deep, two meters deep, and the edge is straight down. It seems that the horse will not be able to jump. Ma Shang cleverly jumped onto his war horse, and then jumped out of the trap with a slight vertical body.
He also shouted loudly to the soldiers trapped in the horse pit: "Climb out quickly, climb out quickly, don't worry about the horses yet." β
Under his shouts, more than a dozen horses could not get up, but most of these soldiers escaped from the trap.
Marchand looked at the cavalry company again, and it was already in a mess. Captain Xu Sen was shouting loudly: "Stabilize the formation, stabilize the formation-"
However, the ranks of the cavalry company were already frightened by the sudden change in front of them, and a horse trap suddenly appeared on the way forward, and more than a dozen war horses were trapped. This is enough to show how dangerous it is, and besides, the enemy's situation is unknown, as long as the enemy has another burst of random guns, the target of the cavalry company is tall and large, and once there are casualties, it will not be a small number.
Ma Shang shouted to Xu Sen: "Captain Xu, hurry up and tell the brothers to dismount, dismount, and dodge the enemy's guns." β
Hearing Ma Shang's reminder, Xu Sen shouted to the soldiers of the whole company: "Dismount, dismount, and avoid the enemy's attack-"
The soldiers of the whole company hurriedly dismounted and hid behind the horses to guard against the flying bullets. Some wanted to tell the war horse to lie down, but after the war horse passed the emergency gallop, it was out of breath, and it couldn't lie down at all, and one by one it was spinning in place, panting suddenly, and only stomping on the ground was a bang.
After a while, he finally stabilized his position and formed a circle formation, surrounding Xu Sen in the middle.
Marchand also felt strange, why didn't the enemy take advantage of the chaos to shoot guns, if he had just taken advantage of the chaos and shot indiscriminately, the cavalry company would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Ma Shang reminded Xu Sen and said: "The enemy didn't shoot just now, which can be regarded as giving us face." I don't think I'd better get the horses out of the pit and get them outβ"
Xu Sen was also a little surprised, what was wrong, except for more than a dozen war horses trapped in the horse pit, he didn't find the enemy's movements, was the enemy scaring himself, scaring himself away and pulling him down.
Thinking of this, Xu Sen yelled at Ma Shang: "Hmph, I don't think there's anything great about Balu, why don't they fight, if they want to fight, they will definitely fight a long time ago, they are afraid of us, and they will be scared away a long time ago." Let's get these horses out first! β
Ma Shang was even more anxious about his war horses, the cavalry had no horses, it was not as good as an infantry, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers in the platoon: "Use bayonets and sabers, dig a horse road first, and get these horses out." β
When the soldiers of the whole platoon heard his order, those who had horses were immediately handed over to a few people to take care of their horses, and those who lost their horses also drew their bayonets or sabers and cut the loess on the ground. As long as there is a slope and someone pulls it, these horses can jump up quickly.
Marchand observed this large pit, five meters wide and two meters deep, lined up in a long trench, and the horses could not jump over it. Besides, there is a shelter on it, and it is dark again, so how can you see it clearly.
It was this trap that blocked the way of the cavalry platoon.
"This is the mercy of xx's subordinates, if a few more mines or grenades are planted in the trap, we will be all finished." Marchand sighed.
Just when Marchand's platoon had just begun to dig the horse road in the trappit, it suddenly "Bang!" Syllable! Syllable! A few crisp gunshots tore through the silence of the night sky, and a few bullets flew over, but they didn't hit the horses, nor did they hit a single soldier, but only on the left side of the horse team, more than ten meters away.
βxxxοΌβ Xu Sen shouted loudly, immediately pulled out his pistol, and shouted over there: "Brothers, prepare to attack." β
Ma Shang hurriedly went up to dissuade him and said: "Captain Xu, it's dark and the situation is unknown, I think it's better to get these war horses out and retreat quickly!" If we really encounter the big army of the Eighth Road, then we will be in trouble. β
Xu Sen put his gun on his hat, and gave Ma Shang courage and said to himself: "Platoon Commander Ma, what are you afraid of, we are a dignified cavalry company, and we are still afraid of a few earth xx." Brethren, mount your horses and prepare to chargeβ"
At this critical juncture, Ma Shang still persuaded Xu Sen and said: "Captain Xu, if you can't figure it out, this is XX's ploy to lure us into the bait." I think you should stop for a moment and figure out the situation first. β
Xu Sen didn't listen to Ma Shang's words, the first platoon couldn't be counted on, he said to the second platoon: "Second platoon commander, take your second platoon, rush to the embankment, and capture these soil xx alive." β
The second platoon commander agreed: "Yes!" He immediately ordered his second platoon and said, "All the second platoon obey the order, get on your horseβ"
All the cavalry of the second platoon immediately turned over their horses, lined up in a line, and prepared to attack the embankment on the left, that is, in the direction where the guns had just been fired.
"Draw the knifeβ" The second platoon commander yelled again.
All the officers and men of the second platoon immediately drew their sabers and held them in front of their chests. One by one, they stared at the black embankment.
"Chargeβ" the second platoon leader roared, and immediately rushed to the front.
He raised his war knife high, and dozens of white war knives showed a special charm in the dark night, dozens of war knives were like a white line, swept towards the slightly upward slope of the embankment, and the shouts of dozens of brothers woke up the night sky, and the hoarse voice spread far, far away.
The further up you go, the more inclined the terrain becomes. As a result of the attack on a high place, the war horse developed a long neck, and the horse's head was stretched forward as far as possible, the front legs were as small as possible, and the hind legs were as long as possible. The brethren were not very strong on their horses, and had to keep themselves as close as possible on their horses so as not to fall off the slanted horses.
The sound of the hooves of dozens of war horses formed a powerful air current, which quickly swept towards the top of the embankment.
Just as these horses were about to approach the top of the embankment, suddenly one of the horses stepped into the air and fell down at once, and then seven or eight horses also fell down. By the time the soldiers came to their senses, they had already fallen into more than a dozen war horses in the trap.
The rest of the war horses didn't look good, so they stopped their impact and spun around in place. When the second platoon commander saw it, he was fooled again, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw." β
The cavalry of this platoon really rushed up quickly, retreated quickly, and quickly withdrew to Xu Sen's side. It's just that half of the horses and soldiers couldn't come back and were trapped in the horse trap.
When Xu Sen saw it, he was really angry and anxious, and scolded loudly: "These xxx are really cunning and cunning, I haven't seen anyone yet, but we have lost dozens of war horses." β
Ma Shang said to Xu Sen: "I don't think it's necessarily xxx, if you can't get it, it's the big army of the Eighth Road, they are playing with us, can't you see it?" β
Xu Sen didn't realize until this time that he must have met a master. I haven't seen the enemy yet, and I've already fought like this, and if I continue to fight, I will definitely be more than lucky. But he was defeated in this way, and his face was too unbearable, so he had to shout loudly to the embankment: "What part of the opponent is it, which army, please report your name?" β
On the embankment, there was no one to see, and someone shouted down there: "If I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, it's Han Xing!" Who are you? β
Xu Sen was really startled when he heard that it was Han Xing's name. Now Han Xing's name is already blowing a trumpet in the crack of the door - his reputation is outside, and he has beaten the Japanese to the ground on the three southern expeditions, which one does not know, which one does not know, and it seems that he has really encountered a tough opponent.
Xu Sen had no choice but to say: "It turned out to be Commander Han, long admiration!" Long admiration! I'm Xu Sen under Xu Guanwu. I don't know where I offended Commander Han and blocked my path here? β
Han Xing laughed when he heard this, and said to Xu Sen: "It turned out to be Captain Xu, don't pretend to be confused." You don't stay at the mouth of the Xujia River, what are you doing here? Yesterday, I went to Luqiao to arrest two people, where are I going today, are you going to Luzhuang to arrest people? If the Japanese don't fight, what are you doing in Luzhuang? β
Even if you are a confused person, you can hear the words at this time, obviously Xu Sen ran to Luzhuang to arrest people, but he still thinks that Han Xing is blocking his way. You are obviously arresting people xxx and xx, but you still think xxx and xxx are in your way, isn't this pretending to be confused?
Han Xing's words really made Xu Sen have nothing to say. I had to say: "I am a soldier, and it is my duty to carry out orders, so I don't know who I arrested?" β
Han Xing saw that he was playing tricks, so he had no choice but to say: "I am also a soldier, and it is my duty to carry out orders. If you want to arrest people, I will not let you arrest them here, and this is also my duty. β
Xu Sen couldn't handle it anymore, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to come to the hard one, and said, "Commander Han, if you don't give way again, we will come to the hard one, and we will attack." β
Hearing this, Han Xing laughed and said, "Captain Xu, why can't you see what's wrong?" I'm just waiting for you to say that! Don't you see, did we shoot your horses and men just now? If I wanted to destroy you, I'm afraid you would have been finished. We're showing mercy, can't you see it? β
