Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Flares

Afternoon rain. Come fast and go fast. As if to turn the devils' lunch into a sandwich meal, after the devils finished this unpalatable lunch, the heavy rain that was still pouring just now actually stopped.

Under the command of Toyoda Shaoza, the devils put away their wet raincoats and tents, shook off the rain on their bodies, shouted sad and indignant slogans, took two short legs, stepped on the slippery mud, and began the pursuit again.

No matter how small the scope of the clouds is, it is impossible to rain only on the heads of these devils, it is not a story of the Anti-Japanese War, but a fantasy story. The cavalry battalion, which was not too far from the devils, was also wet with clothes from the sudden rain. However, our warriors are cavalry after all, and the horses are much less affected by the rain than humans. When the cavalry was back on their horses, the horses, though occasionally slipping under their hooves, were at all much stronger than the two-legged men.

The cavalry of our army ran in front, and the devils chased behind. Although the horse was less affected by the ground, it immediately carried people, and although the phenomenon of falling down has not been for the time being, the speed is still much slower than before the rain. The devil infantry in the back, even though they stumbled, and some people fell from time to time, but the little devils had a low chassis and it was easier to grasp the balance, and second, because the devils were standing on the ground and walking, their feet were down-to-earth and their center of gravity was low, even if they fell, it was easier to get up. Therefore, in the case that the speed of the devils has not decreased too much, and the speed of our cavalry has slowed down a lot compared to before the rain, it is not too possible for the cavalry battalion to easily get rid of the devil brigade.

However, because the cavalry battalion has maintained a distance of more than one kilometer from the devil for safety reasons, this section of the road is not so easy to catch, plus the fact that war horses are born with two more legs than humans. It is not easy for the cavalry battalion to get rid of the devils. The devils wanted to catch up with the cavalry battalion, but it was basically useless. The two teams, right on the side of the road, chased and struggled, and drove forward with all their strength.

The devils ate a sandwich meal at noon, and their stomachs were full, just because of this high-intensity exercise, they digested and digested half of the raw rice in their stomachs. In addition, they were attacked several times in the morning, and they didn't eat well at noon, and they accumulated a stomach full of resentment, and the devils never stopped to rest, so they chased all the way.

Even if Kong Lao Er wanted to draw out his forces to fight the devil's attack, he couldn't do it now. The road is too difficult to walk! The cavalry rode on horseback, and they should always be careful, if they are not careful, they may even be left behind with men and horses. Fortunately, now the devil is chasing after him very hard, even if you don't shoot behind to warn, the little devil is no longer lazy.

Seeing that his task must be successfully completed, Camp Commander Kong will never have the idea of going to the devils again. Anyway, when I got to the ground, I was greeted by a master in person. makes such a big battle, and it is estimated that the devils will not be pleased. In this case, it is better to let these little devils be comfortable and comfortable before they die.

Gao Quan stood outside the command post on the main peak of Phoenix Mountain, and the soldiers of the communications battalion kept reporting the intelligence of various units to him. The three main brigades have all entered the ambush position; After Liu Xing completed the task, he had also returned to his post; The sapper battalion laid out the positions left for the devils very well and thoughtfully; The treasures that Gao Quan brought out from the devil arsenal in Yueyang City have all been placed. The artillery battalion is in place, the special service battalion is in place, and the reconnaissance battalion has laid a wide net around the battlefield, so that any wind and grass can be predicted in advance. Now wait for the cavalry battalion.

"Report, the cavalry battalion is still twenty miles away from here."

"Report, the cavalry battalion still has ten miles."

One by one, the signal corps ran by, and the cavalry battalion was getting closer and closer. The high-powered telescope was set up at the door of the headquarters, and Gao Quan leaned over to take a closer look. In the shot, there is a small black dot that is moving rapidly, getting closer and bigger, and it can be seen that these small black dots are the cavalry battalion of the 500th Division. Behind the cavalry battalion was a much larger black spot, these were the 45th Wing of the Devils led by the cavalry battalion commander Kong Xuan.

Finally see the whole picture of the 45th Wing! Gao Quan's heart is calm at this time, the enemy has already seen it, so there is nothing to be excited about, calm down, and fighting this battle is the key.

The combat missions of all units have been arranged, and Gao Quan no longer needs to remind him to prepare for battle at this time, and the commanders of those troops under his command are all high-end talents on the battlefield, and they can completely judge when is the best time to attack, and there is no need for him to be reminded of the battle at all.

After two hours of traveling, the cavalry had now gotten used to the softness and slippery ground, and that was changing. Although it also rained on this side of Phoenix Mountain, the rain here was obviously much smaller than where the cavalry battalion ate, the ground was moist, and there was indeed no mud, and the horses walked up and no longer worried about slipping under their feet.

The cavalry battalion commander tried his best to control the speed of his horses, so as not to let the happy horses run too fast and throw away the trailing ones. Organize another attack? This kind of thinking is just thinking about it in the head. Looking at the higher and higher hills that had appeared in front of him, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at his cavalry team on them. If he Kong Xuan dared to stop advancing and launch a strong attack on the devils, he would definitely be hated by more than half of the officers of the 500 Division! He didn't want to take such a risk!

The road into the mountains began to get narrower, but the hollow dirt road that had been dug up along the way was finally over, and the cavalry could finally get up to the proper road. The horses could not suppress their excitement, their hooves grew bigger and bigger, and their pace became more and more urgent, and if the knights on the horses did not try hard to hold on to the reins, these horses would definitely run away in smoke.

"Smack! Syllable! "Two gunshots rang out, and two red flares rose in the valley ahead! This is the signal to enter the ambush position, to inform the cavalry battalion to pass quickly!

"Speed up!" Kong Lao Er shouted, shook the reins, knocked the horse's belly with both feet, and the war horse rushed forward, accelerating suddenly.

It's finally time to get rid of this slow bait mission! The cavalry were all excited. The war horse received the signal from its master, raised its hooves, swayed all the way to smoke and dust, and galloped away quickly.

"Report, enemy flares have been spotted ahead!" The devil spearhead immediately reported the abnormality ahead to Toyoda Shaozo.

"Yusei!" The flare in mid-air is so obvious, and Toyota Shaozo is not blind, of course he can see it clearly. Is this the ambush position of the Chinese army? Sure enough, it's a dangerous place! However, the war that can be won by relying only on the terrain was in the era of cold weapons in the last century! How much more can terrain play in modern warfare with guns and cannons? Did the Chinese army think that by throwing stones down the hill, they would win the war?
