Chapter 711: The War Carriage

That night was a nightmare for the Japanese army.

Armored vehicles and tanks, which they have always regarded as weapons in the fight against the Chinese army, were turned into scrap metal in the explosion of cluster grenades.

The Japanese troops who remained around the giant warehouse, the Japanese soldiers who watched the Chinese people build roads, and the Japanese troops who camped outside the warehouses were crippled by the Chinese army before they could organize an effective resistance.

Then, there was the sky-high fire after the warehouse was ignited, and from time to time flammable and explosive materials such as gasoline barrels and ammunition boxes were ignited and exploded by the fire, and were shot into the sky that had been reflected red by the fire like a meteor.

The officers and men of the battalion directly under the battalion, who had withdrawn to the distant hillside, thundered with joy.

There was no reason not to be excited, they had won many battles, but it was the first time they had blown up such a large Japanese warehouse, and the victory in this battle was surprisingly easy.

In addition to careful planning, the large number of Sichuan troops participating in the battle was also an important reason.

Nearly 400 people from Huo Xiaoshan's direct battalion attacked a warehouse guarded by more than 200 people, and it was a surprise attack, which already had an advantage.

The two regiments of the Sichuan army carried out a "man-to-man" raid on all the Japanese targets in the early morning, and the Japanese army was only more than 1,000 people, and more than half of the casualties were already killed and wounded in the first wave of the Chinese army's raid, and more than 1,000 reinforcements arrived after dawn but were ambushed by another regiment of the Sichuan army.

The Japanese commander Anan did not expect that his main force had turned into a huge mill, running over two of the three rivers, but also leaving an empty rear.

But just when everyone was rejoicing and encouraged by the huge results achieved, there was only one person who showed a painful expression in the face of the burning and exploding warehouse, and this person was naturally Zheng Youjian.

The victory is easy to come by, but it is also huge, but it also brought Zheng Youjian the biggest regret since he participated in the Anti-Japanese War, there are too many good things, the food, the arms, can't be moved!

A hand patted Zheng Youjian's shoulder to show comfort, it was Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan fully understood Zheng Youjian's state of mind at this time, he was also distressed, but he was also helpless.

"A brigade or a division may have no food and weapons because of our artillery battle, and it stands to reason that my fat man should be happy, but ...... Alas. ”

"People are the most important thing." Huo Xiaoshan answered, but felt that this sentence was too simple to explain his thoughts, so he added: "The devils have become dead people, and those of us who fight devils, as well as the people of China all over the world, are the living, and the most important thing is the most important." ”

Three days later, the battalion was temporarily stationed.

More than a dozen cauldrons were set up in the open space, the firewood was booming, the oil flowers in the pot were rolling, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of meat.

The officers and men of the battalion directly under the battalion were smiling happily around the cauldron, and they were no less happy than the one that had just finished bombing the Japanese depot two days earlier.

"This Sichuan army is enough buddy, and if there is something delicious, don't forget us!" The reckless man looked at the horse flesh and bones in the cauldron that were showing out of the tumbling water, and sighed there.

"When I went to carry the meat, I saw that they were piling up a mountain of dead horses!" Xiao Shisuo said.

It turned out that the Japanese army had gained not only their direct battalion, but also the Sichuan army in this night attack.

Deng Wenxian's group of Japanese troops camping in the open air turned out to be cavalry, but in the middle of the night, the cavalry could not stand and sleep like war horses.

The Japanese cavalry lay down, but their horses were tied to the side of the camp.

As a result, the Sichuan army was over, and the cavalry did not kill the soul, but the war horse was also killed and injured.

Deng Wenxian got a good chewy food, how could he enjoy it exclusively, but he sent someone to tell Huo Xiaoshan to get horse meat.

At that time, when he heard the news, Xiao Shi's eyes lit up at that time, and Huo Xiaoshan naturally knew that he loved to be lively, so he handed over this job to him.

Xiao Shisuo was very happy after he went, but when he saw the horse given to him by the Sichuan army, he was worried, how could he move it back?

Because Deng Wenxian gave him twenty-three horses that had been skinned and disemboweled!

The small stone lock only brought one platoon, and it was enough for one person to divide the number of horses, but who could carry the horse if it was not a goat?

Deng Wenxian naturally knew Huo Xiaoshan, a likable little follower, so he asked Xiao Shisuo to find two carriages for transporting horse meat.

Xiao Shisuo naturally thanked the head of the Sichuan Army Deng happily, and said, we will transport the horse meat back and send the carriage back to your old man's house!

Deng Wenxian waved his hand very heroically, you don't have to return the carriage, the two horses are also killed and eaten meat, we still have it!

So Xiao Shisuo and the platoon of men came back with the horse-drawn cart.

It's just that the big cart is our Chinese, but the horse is not the horse that pulls the cart, it is all the tall Oriental horse of the Japanese, which is the war horse ridden by the Japanese cavalry!

This is an inferior horse that uses a war horse as a cart, although Deng Wenxian's friendship with Huo Xiaoshan is there, but the Sichuan Army also made a fortune this time, which can also be seen.

Xiao Shisuo didn't care about this, although the horse was pulling the cart, he himself rode back on horseback.

As soon as he came back, the soldiers laughed, and some said, "It's still the Sichuan army, and it actually uses the little devil's horse-drawn cart." ”

Some said, "If you want me to say, no one is as good as our little cub, and he rides a war horse in a war horse!" ”

Huo Xiaoshan was standing next to the carriage on the periphery of the soldiers at this time, and the two war horses were still tied to the trunks of the trees with their wheels.

Huo Xiaoshan looked at one of the jujube red horses, and gently swept the dense horsehair with his hand, but his heart was full of helplessness.

He genuinely likes animals, but he knows that these two horses will not escape the fate of being killed.

Although he can ride a horse, he has no cavalry, so what is the use of keeping these two war horses?

The battalion commander himself would not put the score of a soldier with a battalion but riding a tall horse.

It's behind enemy lines, and I have to keep crossing mountains and rivers, and I don't have the energy to take care of two horses.

So he could only chant Amitabha Buddha in his heart, but he turned away, took out the Yanling knife behind his back, cut a lot of grass in the grassy place, and threw it in front of the two horses respectively.

These two horses are obviously not the kind with violent personalities, otherwise they would not be easily put into the carriage by the Sichuan army.

The jujube red horse just now looked at the Chinese soldier who gave him grass to eat with a kind of gentle eyes that only a horse can have, snorted, and then lowered his head and began to pick up the grass on the ground to eat.

It does not understand the Chinese and the Japanese, and naturally it does not understand the killing between humans, but it understands the kindness that Huo Xiaoshan unleashed on it.

"The battalion commander feels sorry for the war horse?" A voice sounded from behind Huo Xiaoshan.

Huo Xiaoshan didn't need to look back to know that the person who spoke was Li Xiangbai, because only Li Xiangbai called him the battalion commander in the whole battalion.

Huo Xiaoshan glanced back at Li Xiangbai, smiled and said nothing.

"It's a good horse, it's a pity." Li Xiangbai said in a tone that did not match his age.

"Do you like animals? Can you feel their joys and sorrows? Huo Xiaoshan asked Li Xiangbai.

"It's hard to say, I'm only interested in people." Li Xiangbai replied without thinking.

Li Xiangbai has been promoted to company commander by Huo Xiaoshan, because Huo Xiaoshan thought he could be a company commander, so he let him be.

At present, the three company commanders of the battalion directly under him are Li Xiangbai, Shi Biao, and Dung Ball.

Shen Chong Xiaoshi specializes in leading the top soldiers, because the tactics of Huo Xiaoshan's directly subordinate battalion have high requirements for the quality of the top soldiers.

Li Xiangbai didn't know why Huo Xiaoshan mentioned himself as a company commander, but since he was a good man, he called Huo Xiaoshan the battalion commander.

His personal style is more like that of regular troops, but it is a bit unusual in the battalion directly under him.

However, Li Xiangbai was still able to get along harmoniously with the officers and soldiers of the battalion directly under him, just because he understood a truth after joining the battalion directly under him.

Huo Xiaoshan is very tolerant, and everyone's personality in the direct battalion is naturally different, but as long as you are kind to others, as long as you are sincere enough, you can get along with everyone here.

"Battalion commander, can you feel it?" Li Xiangbai asked curiously, what he asked you can feel is naturally you can feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of animals.

Huo Xiaoshan smiled and was silent again.

When Li Xiangbai wanted to ask again, Huo Xiaoshan had already suddenly turned his head to look at the entrance of the station, and Li Xiangbai also followed.

I saw a Sichuan soldier running over panting.

Huo Xiaoshan knew that there must be an emergency, and when he raised his leg and walked there, he saw that the soldiers of the battalion directly under him had already stretched out his hand to the Sichuan soldier and pointed to his direction.

So Huo Xiaoshan greeted the Sichuan army soldier, and the soldier held back his violent wheezing due to fast running, and said urgently: "** County, the headquarters of the Twentieth Army is in danger!" ”
