Chapter 39: Cutting Horse Meat

Watanabe's luck was amazingly good. If you want to say that when fighting with the 501st Regiment, Shao Zuo can be said to be able to avoid being shot with his outstanding riding skills and the support of the guards around him, and in the case of heavy artillery bombardment of the cavalry brigade, Shao Zuo can still maintain his golden body unbroken, then it can only be described as his super good luck.

Gao Quan personally led the guard company, special service battalion, and reconnaissance battalion to block the attack. Under the rain of bullets woven by these three troops, Watanabe Shaosa can still be intact, so it can only be said that this person's luck is really too rebellious! How many sharpshooters were there in these three directly subordinate units of the 500 Division? And how many were snipers who were specifically interested in Japanese officers? Under the guns of so many snipers, they can survive unscathed, except for the use of luck against the sky, there is really no other explanation.

When Watanabe saw that his soldiers were falling off their horses in various postures, and when a third guard had fallen off his horse and died, Watanabe gave a loud order to retreat, and he himself turned his horse's head and ran backwards in the most chic posture. The cavalry just has an advantage, and it is not a little faster than the infantry. Watanabe rode his Hokkaido-bred horse, hunched over, and with his excellent horse control skills, he won first place in the sprint race.

Finally saw a large Japanese army, Watanabe Shaosa stopped the horse. Looking back, there were still more than 250 cavalry when he set out for the battle, less than an hour, and when he came back, there were only 32 knights left in Shaozuo's cavalry brigade, including him. The rest of the more than 200 excellent royal cavalry had all died on the short road surface of a few kilometers behind him.

Although it was embarrassing to lose the battle, Shao Zuo was still more angry in his heart! Anger at Daisa Ito. Why let his cavalry brigade come to break the rear? Cavalry is obviously used for scouts and raids, how can there be cavalry to defend? I made up my mind that after I go back, I must go to General Nokan to sue this black state of Ito, who doesn't understand military affairs, and here I have to hurry up to report Ito Osa, the back road is dangerous!

A few rows of guns were fired, and most of the devil cavalry was annihilated, except for a small number that fled. This is not a small result. Gao Quan happily watched as the soldiers went up to collect the loot. The devil cavalry has a lot of equipment, not only cavalry guns, but also sabers. This thing looks like a ghost officer's command knife. How difficult is it to kill a devil officer in a normal battle? Now more than a hundred sabers have been seized at once, how much will it cost if they are taken out and sold?

As a matter of fact, many of the armed forces at that time were engaged in smuggling, taking advantage of the convenience of the army to smuggle back and forth between the north and the south. Although Gao Quan knew a lot of things, he didn't expect this set, so the money channel of the 500 divisions was only locked on the devils and traitors. Like the captured devil uniforms, weapons, and supplies, they are all sought-after goods, and no matter where they are obtained, they can be exchanged for a good price.

Some of the horses were only slightly wounded, and they lay down on the ground to rest for a while and then got back up. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion immediately came up and took the tall and long-legged Oriental horses away. No one else knows how to train a horse, and this kind of big animal can kick people if it can't be done. After the two dozen horses that could stand up were taken away, all that remained was the corpse of the devil and the horse.

For the devils, from steel helmets to leather boots, from military uniforms to weapons and ammunition, after all the searches, Gao Quan asked the cooking squad leader to call over, pointed to the horse corpses everywhere, and asked the fat master to go up and peel the skin and cut the meat. Although I have heard that horse meat does not have the aroma of pork, how can I say that this is also meat, isn't it? When it's cooked, it's fragrant!

The head of the cooking squad only put forward one condition, asking for additional manpower for him. With so many horses, just a dozen or so cooking soldiers, he can't cut the meat until tomorrow! Gao Quan waved his hand, and the special service battalion went up to a company to help the cooking squad leader cut meat! Sun Yuanqing grinned, his company is the little 300 people, let's go to cut meat together? That's fast. But his soldiers are all combatants! How do you know that when I went down and asked the three company commanders, these three were all rushing to go, which made Camp Commander Sun stunned for a while.

The 18th Wing was flanked by our 500 and 2012 brigades, and after several hours of hard support, Ito Nobuyoshi finally made up his mind to withdraw. The battle is already unwinnable, and even holding on here and waiting for reinforcements has become extremely dangerous. The squadrons on both sides not only outnumbered him, but the most important thing was that there were more artillery than him. In this way, it will be very difficult to do, and it will not be possible to gain the superiority of artillery, and relying on aviation alone to help the war will obviously be a bit far from quenching the thirst of the near.

Especially after hearing that the back road was cut off and the cavalry brigade was almost completely annihilated, it strengthened Ito's determination to retreat. Sent a report to the Xinyang Brigade Headquarters that Chen Ming was now facing the predicament faced by the 18th Wing, and at the same time ordered the troops to start turning and preparing to forcibly break through backwards!

If Wang Dazhu had just arrived with the 201 Brigade, and Ito Nobuyoshi had decisively led his troops to retreat, Wang Dazhu and Qian Sixi would really not be able to stop him, and now that Gao Quan had come, it would be difficult for his 18th Wing to retreat with all his body.

The Eighteenth Wing was now on its way, and the ranks were lined up along the road, and on each side of the road was a main brigade of our army constantly attacking them. The road ahead has been cut off, and if you want to repair it again, Ito Nobuyoshi has no professional sappers in his hands, and our army is constantly attacking, so he will not be given time to repair the road. The rear road was intercepted by elite troops led by Gao Quan. The most important thing is that the reserve team and the independent brigade led by Zhang Erxiao have also arrived on the battlefield, and the situation of encirclement and annihilation has been decided. Ito Osa can now ensure that his wing will not be completely annihilated, which can be regarded as his diligence in worshiping Buddha in the past.

When the cooking squad leader and hundreds of men were cutting the horse's meat, the engineer battalion had already come up to continue digging their pits. The war is still going on, and the devils will come from the front at any time, and it is impossible for Gao Quan to give the cooking squad leader too much time. Half an hour was all the meat cutting time for the cooking squad leader, and as soon as the time came, hundreds of soldiers immediately returned to the back of the troops with their booty.

The Independent Brigade was making a detour to Gaoquan's side, and the devils began to retreat. Is it to lead the troops to resolutely block the devil here, waiting for Zhang Erxiao to come over with people? Or get out of the way and order the three brigades behind to cut off the devils? Gao Quan quickly made a decision: get out of the way!

Devils who feel dangerous and desperately want to retreat, especially this group of devils is still a whole group, and if they fight hard, the combat effectiveness that will burst out must be quite amazing. These direct teams under Gao Quan are all elites, but they can't fight to the death with these guys who are about to go crazy. No matter how sharp the steel knife is, if it touches the fangs of the wild boar, it will break, and the best thing to do is, of course, to stab the boar's ass from behind!
