Chapter 35: Luring the Enemy
Under the slanting sun, Yuan Yiyong straightened his body.
Minamoto Yoshiyoshi is a squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the Kuroshima Wing, with the rank of captain.
There were two kinds of cavalry wings in the Japanese army, one with four cavalry squadrons and the other with two cavalry squadrons.
In most cases, the cavalry wings directly under each division have only two squadrons, plus a cavalry artillery squadron and a corresponding number of service personnel, the number of which is about 1,000.
The exception is the Black Island Wing, which is part of the 4th Brigade and has four cavalry squadrons with a total strength of nearly 1,500 men.
Compared to Co-Captain Kuroshima Morita, Minamoto Yoshiyu believes that his family is the real noble.
Because the bloodline of the Yuanyi family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the Kuroshima family has only been in existence for two generations.
Therefore, Yuan Yiyong actually looks down on Kuroshima Morita in his bones, thinking that this guy just relied on an aunt to marry into the royal family, so he has today.
If it was really about equestrianism, Kuroshima Morita wouldn't even be worthy of giving him Yoshiyoshi Minamoto's shoes.
After all, he is the man who won the equestrian championship at the Berlin Olympics.
If it weren't for the war, he would have won the equestrian silver medal at last year's Tokyo Olympics.
Why not a champion? Because he knew he couldn't win against that lazy fellow.
In today's stabbing training, only one cavalry squadron came, and it was the 1st squadron of Yuan Yiyong.
"Team 1, Team 3, prepare!" Yuan Yiyong gave an order, and more than ten horsemen in the team immediately divided into horses, rode forward, and then lined up.
In front of this group of cavalry, there were more than a dozen embarrassed prisoners of war of the national army.
Yuan Yiyong's gaze swept over the faces of more than a dozen prisoners of war of the national army, and suddenly shouted: "Run!" ”
More than a dozen prisoners of war of the national army subconsciously threw off their strides and rushed towards the woods three kilometers ahead.
More than ten Japanese cavalrymen did not move, but just held their sabers flat, quietly watching the national prisoners of war run forward.
There is no mercy in Yuan Yiyong's eyes, this kid is a fanatical **** element, who thinks that all nationalities other than the human race should be eliminated.
The Nationalist prisoners of war soon ran to a distance of two thousand meters.
Yuan Yiyong's raised right hand waved down slightly.
The next moment, more than ten Japanese cavalry in a line rushed forward.
Under the slanting sun, more than a dozen snow-bright sabers were reflected in the sky in an instant.
Yuan Yiyong didn't even bother to take a look, the fate of these prisoners of war was already doomed.
From the time they were brought here this morning, their lives have entered the countdown.
Although they had run almost two kilometers in advance, the Imperial cavalry would have caught up with them and beheaded them before they fled into the forest.
From yesterday to today, there have been no exceptions.
Not a single prisoner of war was able to escape into the woods.
Just as Yuan Yiyong was about to smoke a chrysanthemum brand cigarette, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye, as if two figures had rushed out of the woods three kilometers ahead.
Yuan Yi bravely turned back, this is ...... Chinese cavalry?
Really, that's really the Chinese cavalry, two!
Although there were only two Chinese cavalry, they did not hesitate to charge at a dozen Japanese cavalry, and their intention must have been to save the prisoners of war who were being pursued.
The cavalry behind Yuan Yiyong suddenly became excited and eager to try.
Yuan Yiyong stretched out his hand to stop it, but it was only two Chinese cavalrymen, and he didn't need the whole squadron to attack at all.
Fifteen cavalrymen of the 3rd group of the 1st squad were enough to kill these two stupid Chinese cavalrymen.
……
On the wilderness ahead.
Wang Yan and Sun Desheng urged their horses and charged forward.
The desolate land receded like a tide, and the knife-like northwest wind whistled on the cheeks of the two men, but the two of them still opened their mouths wide and roared in the sky.
"Rush, ......"
"Kill......"
The charge of the two people turned out to be like a thousand troops.
In the blink of an eye, he staggered with more than a dozen prisoners of war.
More than a dozen prisoners of war of the national army were already in tears.
One of the Nationalist prisoners of war turned around as he ran and asked, "Which unit are you from?" ”
"The 18th Independent Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Group Army, Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng!" After Sun Desheng finished reporting the number, he raised the saber in his hand again, and roared again, "Rush, kill!" ”
With this shout, the saber held high by Sun Desheng had already been slashed down diagonally.
The sprint speed of the war horse can reach 15 meters per second, and the relative speed of the cavalry hedge can reach 30 meters per second.
Therefore, equestrian stabbing hardly requires much force.
The only thing you need to do is to hold the saber tightly and choose the right angle and timing.
Seeing a flash of cold light, Sun Desheng's saber had already slashed through the sand on the chest and abdomen of a Japanese cavalryman.
The next moment, the Japanese cavalryman's uniform was torn, his abdominal cavity burst open, and the liver, stomach pouch, and stomach intestines that had lost their support overflowed.
"Ahh......h
The Japanese cavalry screamed as hard as they could.
But after only two shouts, the Japanese cavalry fell from the horse's back, and after landing on the ground, they only flicked twice, and then did not make any sound, and died.
Almost at the same time, Wang Yan also killed a Japanese cavalryman.
With just a stroke of the knife, he easily cut off the head of a devil.
……
Two kilometers ahead.
Yuan Yiyong had just struck a match and was about to light a cigarette.
Leng Buding saw such an unexpected scene, and his hands froze in the air.
Even after the match was burned and his fingers were burned, Yuan Yiyong was unaware.
Two Chinese cavalrymen, facing fifteen cavalrymen from a cavalry group of the imperial army, fought for one round, not to mention unscathed, and actually killed two imperial soldiers? How is this possible?
Yuan Yiyong was well aware of the strength of the cavalry under his command.
Although these cavalrymen had little experience in actual combat, they were very good at horsemanship.
Yaga, how could it be such a result? Something must have gone wrong.
……
Ahead, two Chinese cavalrymen began to slow down and finally stopped.
At this time, the two Chinese cavalrymen were only less than 500 meters away from Yuan Yiyong and the more than 100 cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Squadron, so close that they could almost see the expressions on each other's faces.
At this time, it only takes one charge, and the two sides can be strangled together.
But both sides had a tacit understanding and did not charge each other.
In full view of Yuan Yiyong and more than 100 Japanese cavalrymen, one of the Chinese cavalrymen suddenly turned his saber sideways and made a gesture to wipe his throat with his neck.
It was a very provocative gesture.
The intention is to say that they are going to behead all the more than 100 horsemen of the entire source squadron!
The more than 100 riders behind Yuan Yiyong instantly became agitated, this is too arrogant!
Yuan Yiyong's lungs were about to explode, he really didn't expect that there would be such an arrogant Chinese cavalry!
However, Yuan Yiyong still stopped the cavalry behind him and prevented them from attacking, because these two Chinese cavalry were the prey of the 3rd group of the 1st squad and were not allowed to rob!
