Chapter 1832: Killing Deterrence
Along the way, there were a lot of problems, some were accidents, some were man-made, after all, not everyone was willing to be taken to an unknown place, especially under the premise of transportation, there were horses on the carriage, most of the young adults in the west would ride horses, some of them were riding well, looking at the armored vehicles unhurriedly around, it seemed that there was no time to live them, the whole convoy seemed to be moving forward step by step, some young people who thought they had a chance, they ignored the dissuasion of the people next to them, and secretly untied the horses, They have never seen the maximum speed of a tank, let alone an armored car, but they feel that one or twenty kilometers is the fastest speed of an armored car, according to the speed of a fast horse of 35 kilometers per hour, as long as they can run out of this area, they will be saved.

The horror of last night made them not believe that the Japanese would let them go after ordering them to do their work, they had not seen with their own eyes the current situation in Salt Lake City, nor the current situation of the armed forces sent to Ogden before, they could only judge the current situation based on what they knew, with the help of these, they should have been sent on a mission, but the more secret, the higher the chance of death.
A dozen daring men gathered together, and then began to move, a total of 17 horses, unloaded from 9 carriages, and the others in the carriages, although they did not follow them, did not organize them, watched them quickly get on their horses, in the gap of the armored car, quickly left, the speed of the horses, in a short time, increased to the highest, and then divided into several sides to escape.
The Japanese army seemed to be taken aback by this move, and did not react immediately at first, after these horses rushed through the defensive line, at least more than one number of armored vehicles chased over, 35 kilometers per hour, not every horse can reach, that must be speed and endurance to a certain level, these horses, from Salt Lake City, in terms of weight, can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, 30 kilometers is over, 35 kilometers is less.
The approved speed of the armored vehicle can reach more than 35 kilometers per hour, and there is no heavy load, only about half of the approved load, so that a little increase in the throttle can exceed 35 kilometers, and even reach about 40 kilometers, even the fastest horse, can not escape their pursuit, not to mention that there is a significant gap in speed.
Although at the beginning, caught off guard, by these escapees pulled a certain distance, but the armored car accelerated rapidly, slowly closer, if it is only the pursuit of cavalry, it may have to be close to the closer, and even the forerunner can turn and detour and other changes of direction, stretch the distance, may still have a chance to escape, but unfortunately they encountered a very fast armored vehicle, and armed to the teeth, to deal with these fleeing cavalry, the best way is still machine guns, when the only machine gun on the armored car, turned the direction, Then when the attack began, the fate of these people had already been decided.
The sound of the machine gun like tearing cloth, like the scythe of the devil, countless bullet chains began to shroud the escape, no matter how fast the horses ran, they could never outrun the bullets, when they were the highest, they only pulled more than 100 meters, and after the armored car closed the distance, everyone was killed with men and horses.
The blood flowed like a river, I don't know if it was a man, or a horse, when the armored car that made the killing returned, everyone shuddered, but this was not over, several armored vehicles came to the carriage that was untied from the horse, the huge machine gun was aimed at them, those people were a little flustered, some of the poor psychological quality, almost scared to pee, fortunately, the Japanese did not turn on the killing mode, just a cold order, everyone followed, and those who couldn't keep up were killed.
The cold words, coupled with the corpse lying down next to it, informed the Americans that the Japanese are not good men and women, they will not accommodate them, in fact, after those people were killed, this part of the people regretted it, why not stop them, but regret is useless, the whole convoy is moving at a speed of about 20 kilometers, this is the speed of the carriage, without horses, how can it be impossible to catch up, there are good Samaritans squeezed out a few horses, so that 4 cars have horses again, but the rest, no matter how dare they, I couldn't catch up, and there were some acquaintances, with the help of acquaintances, who squeezed into some vehicles, leaving about 30 people, and they could only catch up with the convoy.
How could two legs run over four legs, when they finally broke away from the last limit drawn by Japan, the end was doomed, the gunshots rang out once, these were very short, but even more cruel, in the chain of bullets composed of machine guns, more than 30 people fell in a pool of blood and died.
The blood of more than 50 people finally woke up these Americans, and they realized that they were really meat on the chopping block, and they could only obey the demands of the Japanese, otherwise, the Japanese would be going to kill them.
Even the Japanese army didn't expect that after this emergency, just killed a few people, and it actually had such a good effect, the speed per hour was about 21 kilometers per hour, and the Japanese increased the speed slightly, reaching 24 kilometers, and these American carriage convoys also followed, but the horses were a little hard, and if they continued, the horses might die.
Even a life may not be saved, what is a horse, a horse is for people, besides, these Japanese also said, that is, sixty or seventy kilometers, 20 kilometers of speed for three hours, the horse can't die.
Almost set off for about 2 hours, the convoy from about 5 kilometers away from Ogden, when passing through Ogden, everyone stopped talking, this once a bustling city, but now it is a white land, and there are even places, there are smoke and dust, one night time, is not enough to make all the houses burn out, some of them, has been extinguished, because of the temperature and wind during the day today, and re-ignited, in short, the entire Ogden basically ceased to exist, more than 3,000 buildings, The rest, no more than 10, are still dilapidated.
Although Salt Lake City was beaten badly last night, most of them still exist, except for them, there are not too many people who died, although the total number is more than Ogden, Ogden has a total of more than 10,000 people, but for the survivors, most of them are fine, they still have some luck in their hearts, but when they saw Ogden's tragic situation, they didn't dare to say anything more, and some of them had the idea of using a little action in Ogden, and they were completely honest, those people didn't escape before, it was because there was no cover, on the Great Plains, Horses can't outrun tanks, but Ogden is different, it's a city, and if you hide in the city, or if you use the help of the city to give them a little shelter, you might be able to escape.
There are not a few people who have such thoughts, no one is willing to move under the shadow of death, if it is an old man or a woman, they have no way to resist, these people who are gathered together are all young men in their twenties and thirties, and they are all powerful and powerful, of course they do not want to do this.
The convoy did not approach Ogden, but passed through about 5 kilometers in Ogden, although at a distance of 5 kilometers, they could see Ogden, to be exact, it was Ogden's former location, the broken bridge proved that this was once a prosperous city, all other ideas were dispelled, and there was no way not to dispel them, the Japanese are really ruthless, it is not impossible to kill them, it may just be trouble, in case you anger the Japanese and kill them all, then it will be troublesome.
The Americans are obedient, the Japanese are also happy, the faster the speed, the faster you can reach the destination, time is the most important thing for the Sakura Project, it can save a little time, and it has a good effect on the whole plan, not to mention killing dozens of people, even if it is a third, or even half, it is acceptable.
Within the specified time, even dozens of minutes in advance, they arrived at their destination, and in this process, in fact, they did not encounter any problems except for a few horses, and then Japan did not make any more moves, and those Americans either gritted their teeth and squeezed it, or continued on the basis of the injured horses, and finally waited for the moment of arrival.
With the Japanese army loudly giving the order to stop, all the Americans seemed to have been drained of the last force, some people collapsed to the ground, and even some horses fell to the ground, at this moment, no one cared so much, just lay on the ground, rest as much as possible.
The Japanese commander, who was in charge of commanding them, did not forcibly order them to get up, it didn't matter, according to the plan, they should have arrived in Ogden before 5 o'clock, and now they have completed the task relatively exceeded, it is not yet 4 o'clock, there is still more than an hour before the agreed time for the arrival of the plane, and before the plane arrives, they have very little work to do.
The Japanese let these American troops rest for about 20 minutes, and then began to order, the Americans saw the armored vehicles approaching, they couldn't help but be a little worried, they noticed that the surroundings were a very flat place, if there was anything around, it was the Pacific Railway, what was the purpose of these Japanese, let them dig the railway, destroy the Pacific Railway? It seems possible that this artery runs through the north and south of the United States, and perhaps this is one of the goals of the Japanese.
However, the Americans did not expect that the Japanese did not give them the tools to dig the railway, but stopped near an open field, gathered these Americans together, and gave them a batch of tents, all of which did not have any windows and could not see the tents outside, and they were ordered to start setting up tents.
Some can't figure it out, but people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, the Americans don't dare to wait for the gun to press their heads before starting, honest digging, maybe they are going to come to a protracted war, digging up the railway, not a matter of one or two days, without mechanical cooperation, just manpower, it is inevitable for a long time.
