Chapter 35: The Mongol Cavalry

Ren Laifeng retreated in front, and the devil then pursued. Ren Laifeng's troops are now all cavalry, the cannons are all drawn by horse-drawn carts, and the mobility is quite strong. They ran fast, and the devils chased after them quickly. The devils also have cavalry, and there are reconnaissance planes in the sky to guide the direction, and Ren Laifeng and his troops can't get rid of the pursuit of the devils behind him no matter how they run.

Qinggang did not dare to enter, and directly bypassed the county seat and continued to the west. Ren Laifeng is still thinking about it, will he just run all the way to the Mongolian steppe? In fact, it's not bad to go to the grassland, he is no stranger to the grassland, plus the two authentic Mongolian heroes Rakoshin and Boke are in his army, so it can be said that he is also half a steppe man.

During the interval of running, Ren Laifeng called Rakoshin and Bock over, and discussed with them what to do after entering the grassland? Where to go, how to fight the devils? The two also made a lot of good suggestions. If they could really run all the way into the grassland like this, it is estimated that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrillas would have to be renamed the Grassland Anti-Japanese Guerrillas.

When the devil cavalry caught up again, and Ren Laifeng mobilized troops to fight the devil, a strange horn suddenly sounded behind and on the left and right. "Woo-" The desolate ancient horn, with a bit of slaughter and a bit of déjà vu, is the horn horn used by the Mongolian warriors.

As the horns sounded, there was a faint sound of thunder or drums in the air, and the earth trembled slightly, as if there had been a sudden earthquake. The shaking of the earth became more and more obvious, and the sound of the drums had become the feeling of hundreds of war drums beating at the same time. Immediately, the cavalry appeared.

From the left, right, and back, cavalry appeared in three directions, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves obscured the sky. Colorful banners fluttered over the cavalry, and the Mongolian warriors rode their horses and roared, "Yo-he-" sounded like a singer singing a Mongolian tune.

At the front of the Mongol army on the left is a snow-green horse, which is a rider and flies. As he ran, the rider shouted, "Commander-in-chief! I'm Bayan, and reinforcements are coming! ”

Reinforcements are coming! It seems that the number of men and horses is estimated to be no less than a few thousand. With the help of these Mongol armies, there is no chance of victory in a battle with 3,000 devils.

After a while, Bayan ran to him. After saluting on the horse, Bayan's face flushed with excitement, "Report to the commander-in-chief, I have invited reinforcements!" Lord Simbari also came. This time, the warriors of all the tribes we brought together were more than 40,000. ”

Bayan could see the current situation at a glance, and Rakoshin and Bock were fighting hard with the men and devil cavalry. At present, the battle between the two armies is the time to employ people, and he roughly said the number of people and the result of moving troops, and Ren Laifeng can look at the arrangement!

"Good Bayan!" To the young man, Ren Laifeng likes it too much. Both of them were riding horses, and it was inconvenient to pat them on the shoulder, so Ren Laifeng gave Bayan a thumbs up.

"Commander-in-chief, I'm here! Old Sichin sees you're here! With a loud voice, Si Qinbari rode a jujube red horse and came to the opposite side of Ren Laifeng. Si Qinbari touched his chest with one hand, and immediately made a Mongolian salute to Ren Laifeng, "Commander-in-chief, I have handed over all these people to you, how do I use you to give orders!" ”

"Good! Old Ski, when this battle is over, I'll ask you to have a drink or two. Now, let's clean up the little devils behind us! ”

The generals of the Mongolian tribes were lined up in front of the battle, and Ren Laifeng nodded one by one, "You, what's your name?" How many tribal cavalry are there? ”

The Mongolian generals reported their names and the number of soldiers under their command, and Ren Laifeng arranged corresponding positions for them. He didn't know what the abilities of these people were, what each of them was good at, and if they cooperated for the first time, they would be regarded as ordinary cavalry under the command of Rakoshin.

40,000 horses, 5,000 on the left, 5,000 on the right, and 10,000 in the middle, and the remaining 20,000 or so as reserves, surrounded on three and a half sides in the shape of a crescent, went up to the devil. Of course, these cavalrymen are certainly not the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry who went to the decisive battle with the musket team of the Eight-Nation Alliance with broadswords and spears, they are modern cavalry that has entered the musket era!

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen have a horse pistol each, so what? When the Mongolian cavalry galloped on horseback and the horse pistols were about to catch up with ten hangers and thousands of firecrackers rang out at the same time, the devil finally couldn't stand it and began to withdraw.

Perhaps it is the reason for dealing with steppe wolves all year round, and the tactics of the Mongolian cavalry are very strong in hunting for food. As soon as the opponent escapes, they follow from a distance, and when they find an opportunity, they pounce on it and bite it hard; When the opponent turns back and counterattacks, they quickly retreat to a safe distance; If the opponent withdraws, they chase again. Under this tactic, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they have to be worn to death.

The opponent in front of him was not too strong, but the Mongolian hunters still patiently followed behind, carefully looking for opportunities.

The Japanese commanders, seeing the Mongols' sinister intentions, accelerated their march and sent their best men to the rear of the ranks in anticipation of an attack that could come at any moment.

In the first attack, ten Japanese soldiers were killed, and twenty Mongol cavalry were killed; In the second attack, the Japanese killed six and seriously wounded eight, and the Mongol cavalry lost fifteen. The number of Japanese casualties was not high, but the number of wounded was increasing rapidly. However, the number of Mongol cavalry casualties showed a gradual downward trend.

By the time there had been five similar attacks in a row, the Mongol cavalry had been able to control the number of casualties in each attack to less than two.

Although the casualties were not large each time, they could not stand the large number of people. Once or twice inconspicuous, no one can stand it ten times or twenty times! Half an hour apart, sometimes more than ten minutes, was an attack, and the frequency of such frequent attacks gradually caused the patience of this Japanese army to gradually lose, and the Japanese army became more and more agitated.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not come this time with only these 3,000 people, and the devils also had a large army. Just like these 3,000 troops, there are scattered devils, and there are also those who go to the battlefield after forming a large army. The troops arranged by Ren Laifeng on the periphery stopped a group, and it should have stopped a large group, but at the same time, a considerable number of enemies broke through the perimeter and rushed into the inner circle of Qinggang County.

In the process of cavalry pursuit, the devil's reinforcements are also entering the battlefield in a steady stream. There were those who launched an attack on our troops, and there were those who joined the ranks of the retreating Japanese troops. In short, the number of Japanese troops was increasing, but their decline did not change.

It was not until the retreat to the railway line that the decline of the Japanese army was changed. Two armored trains came to a stop on the railway line from Harbin to Manchuria.
