Chapter Seventy-Three: Chaos (5)

It has to be said that the cavalry of the Japanese army was still very fast. Especially in the vast North China Plain www.biquge.info their mobility has been maximized.

The commander of this Japanese cavalry unit was Kishida Koichi Nakasa, and his unit was the most elite mobile unit in the entire division. The brigade to which he belonged was divided from the well-known elite unit, the 18th Division, that is, the Kurume Division.

The 18th Division is a special unit in the Japanese army, most of the soldiers of this division are orphans, raised by the Japanese government since childhood, and receive militarized training and bushido education. Therefore, the poison of hand militarist ideology is also relatively deep. The most important characteristic of this unit is that it is fierce and brave, and most of the soldiers are outlaws. The "77 Incident" was directly launched by this unit, and moreover, this unit was also the culprit unit that directly participated in the Nanjing Massacre!

In September 1938, the 18th Division was reorganized and subordinated to the 21st Army and participated in the Guangdong offensive operation. However, before the start of the march, at the request of the 12th Army, the base camp issued another strange order -- the 56th Wing Cavalry Brigade was attached to the 12th Army to continue to carry out the task of sweeping public order in North China.

Koichi Kishida rested late last night, and the squadron has been carrying out law and order sweeping missions recently. Ever since the Shina incident, those damned Shina people have not stopped resisting. He had just laid down to go to bed after a routine patrol yesterday when his communications corps woke him up.

Hikaru Kishida, who was disgruntled, took the order with a mutter, but after only one glance, he widened his eyes and cheered up. This order was not issued by the wing commander, but directly by the General Staff Headquarters of the 12th Army! The order requirements were very simple, but they made Kishida Koichi very excited: command the two cavalry squadrons of the headquarters, quickly attack in the direction of the first line of sky, cooperate with a squadron belonging to the 62nd Infantry Wing, and eliminate the special operations squad of the Shina people!

For the Falcon Squad, Koichi Kishida still knows something. However, he has always stubbornly believed that the reason why the Imperial army has failed again and again in the face of this special operations squad is entirely due to those stupid infantry! If the Falcon squad encounters their own cavalry troops, Kishida Koichi is confident that he will drag these ground rats who can only run on two legs to death through high-intensity maneuvers and detours!

After receiving the order, Kishida Koichi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to gather troops and march towards the starry night in the direction of the first line of heaven. Finally, at seven o'clock in the morning, we successfully arrived at the front line of the sky.

Although he always thought that his cavalry came and went like the wind, and encountering Chinese in North China was like chopping melons and vegetables, but for the sake of insurance, Kishida Koichi still carefully sent scouts to investigate, on the one hand, to find the traces of the falcon team, on the other hand, to get closer to the infantry squadron mentioned in the order to obtain first-hand battlefield information.

"In the report, there are no traces of the activities of the Zhina people in the direction of the first line of heaven!" Ten minutes later, the scout returned.

"Nani? No? After hearing the scout's report, Kishida Koichi's eyes widened in confusion, and then he hurriedly asked, "Did you get in touch with the fools of that infantry squadron?" ”

"Report, no signs of Imperial samurai activity found nearby!"

Kishida Koichi looked ahead suspiciously, and then asked the staff adjutant beside him, "Sakamoto-kun, what do you think about this?" ”

Although Shinzo Sakamoto is only a young samurai, he is two years older than Kishida Koichi. Both graduated from the prestigious Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and he is still a senior of Koichi Kishida. It's just that this man, despite his scheming and excellent academic performance in school, is a notoriously radical and big-mouthed. In order to insist on his opinion, he offended many people in the General Staff Headquarters of the Kwantung Army. As a result, at this age, everyone else has become a Zhongzuo or even a Dazuo, but he still has a shabby Shaozuo rank.

Hearing Kishida Koichi's question, Shinzo Sakamoto did not rush to answer, but stared at his gloomy triangular eyes and carefully observed the surrounding terrain. I don't know why, as soon as he enters the first-line heaven region, he always has a feeling of anxiety and irritability in his heart. Every inch of land here, even every speck of air, made him feel indescribably suffocated. "Maybe it's because I've been marching and fighting lately, and I'm too tired." Shinzo Sakamoto can only comfort himself like this.

There is nothing unusual in the surroundings and the neighborhood is calm. Shinzo Sakamoto didn't see anything wrong, he was just about to answer Kishida Koichi's question, when a cold wind blew, and the war horse under him suddenly snorted loudly, and he walked in place irritably.

Sakamoto Shinzo looked at his foal suspiciously, for cavalry, war horses are not only tools for marching and fighting, but also their close comrades-in-arms. Knowing one's own horses and reading their mental and physical state through their performance is something that every cavalryman must master.

Seeing the abnormal performance of his war horse, Shinzo Sakamoto became cautious, and he also learned from the appearance of his war horse, facing the cold wind blowing, and took a deep breath of air.

Suddenly, his face became solemn, and he said to Kishida Koichi in a hurry: "Your Excellency Commander, please order the troops to immediately prepare for battle!" ”

Looking at the other party's puzzled eyes, he explained: "There is gunsmoke and the smell of blood in the wind. If I'm right, I'm afraid that the Imperial warriors of that squadron have all been shattered......"

Hikaru Kishida looked incredulous, and quickly took a deep breath of air, closed his eyes and savored it. Then he opened his eyes and commanded loudly: "Attention, everyone! Ready for battle! ”

The Japanese soldiers behind him drew their sabers with a "brush" and stared at him tightly, waiting for his orders at any time.

Shinzo Sakamoto whispered to Koichi Kishida's side: "The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Shina people will definitely set up ambushes on both sides of the canyon." If we enter the canyon, we will definitely fall into the ambush of the Shina people. My suggestion is to quickly occupy the commanding heights on both sides and use the terrain to launch an attack. In this way, we will speed up the impact of the impact. ”

Kishida Koichi nodded approvingly, and whispered, "Shhhh Sakamoto-kun, you and I are of the same opinion! With that, he drew his command knife and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Warriors of the Empire! Draw your swords and show your courage! For His Majesty the Emperor, for the Holy War Victory! Come on! ”

"Bang!" Suddenly, a crisp gunshot rang out in the distance.

Hikaru Kishida looked down at his bleeding chest in astonishment, then raised his head again and looked at Shinzo Sakamoto beside him. The other party's face was also stunned, and even a little frightened. Then, he felt as if something had been suddenly taken out of his body, and the strength of his whole body passed rapidly, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally, his eyes went black, and he fell off the horse.

Shinzo Sakamoto was already completely stunned, and when the crisp gunshot rang out just now, he subconsciously wanted to find cover, but suddenly saw a brilliant blood flower explode on Kishida Koichi's chest. Immediately afterwards, the supreme commander of his own unit planted his horse, and after two embarrassing struggles on the ground with two legs, he was silent.

The commander just died? Shinzo Sakamoto and the Japanese cavalry around him looked at each other at first, and then blew up the nest.

Looking at the leaderless subordinates of the dragons, Shinzo Sakamoto can now be said to be crying without tears. What's the matter? Before he saw the enemy, his commander had already gone to see Amaterasu first, and if he said this, I was afraid that his colleagues in the entire army department would laugh off their big teeth.

Looking at Kishida Koichi's corpse, his two eyes widened, and he waved angrily at the opposite hillside: "The target is the opposite hillside!" All the army is attacking! The people of China are all dead, dead! ”

Looking at the Japanese cavalry waving their sabers and screaming and rushing over, the lynx he, the cat slipped away quickly. The captain said that a good sniper will never fire a second shot in the same place. With just one shot, he had already succeeded in turning this Japanese army into a headless fly. The rest of the work is much easier.
