Chapter 217: A Deadly Pursuit
The second cavalry wing of the 15th Brigade of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army was responsible for pursuing the hundreds of cars running out of Shenyang City.
The Second Cavalry Wing was originally stationed near Anshan, but because of its strong mobility ability, it was used as a general reserve and was hidden near Shenyang City and was not used.
Now that there is water at the foot of the mountain and has been assigned the task of pursuing the convoy, he is not happy because another brigade has gone to attack the East Tower airfield.
The wing commander even personally took another machine gun team and a horse gun team to attack Changchun. Seeing that they will all gain great successes, they can only get a few hundred broken cars.
He was worried that he would not be able to hold his head up in front of the other two captains from now on. Unless he has the opportunity to make greater contributions in the future, he may live under their arrogant faces for the rest of his life.
When I thought of the hateful faces of the two captains, I couldn't get angry when there was water under the mountain.
However, although he was unhappy, Captain Yamashita still faithfully carried out the orders issued by the headquarters. He led his brigade from an inconspicuous small village outside Shenyang to the main road outside the east gate of Shenyang.
There was water under the mountain, looking at the deep car marks on the road, and muttered in his heart: "This convoy seems to be pulling a lot of things?" It was able to push the road out of such a deep rut.
What could it be? Grain? Ammunition? Or gold and silver jewelry? Probably neither. It's more likely that there are some useless things, and the people of China love to leave some useless pots and pots.
A while ago, for the sake of the secrecy of this mission, they attacked the village at night and killed everyone in the village.
When the shouts of killing just sounded, the villagers in the village had many chances to escape, but these stupid people were reluctant to do anything.
When there is water under the mountain, I think this village is a rich village, and there are countless gold, silver and jewels in the village. When he was a soldier in Hokkaido, he heard propaganda from the military department that there was countless gold in China, and beautiful women were waiting for them to pick it up.
At that time, he believed the propaganda of the military department, so he signed up for the newly formed Kwantung Army, and relied on a lot of connections to get the position of captain of this cavalry squadron.
At that time, I chose to be a cavalryman, didn't I want to pick up more golden beauties and tie them to the back of a horse and pull them back? Fortunately, it has been almost a year since he arrived in the Northeast, and he found that this place is not full of gold at all.
Although there are a lot of beauties here, they can't be grabbed if they want to. However, he had seen other Kwantung Army sneak out to rob a few times, and it seemed that he had made a lot of money.
In addition to training every day, he has never had the opportunity to go out of the barracks to rob.
Now it's okay, I finally received the task of occupying the Northeast, and I can rob the people of the Northeast at will in the future.
Seeing that the villagers in this village were so willing to sacrifice their wealth and lives, he thought that he must have been lucky, and he ran into a wealthy village in his first robbery.
However, he was a little slow to move, seeing that his comrades-in-arms around him seemed to have gained a lot, and he was still empty-handed, he was angry, and his eyes were searching back and forth, looking for targets that could be robbed.
There is water under the mountain and finally sees an old lady who is acting suspiciously, as if she is running away with something very important in her arms, and there is water under the mountain and immediately catches up and snatches it.
But the old lady didn't let go, and bit him a few times, and there was water under the painful mountain to pull out the command knife, and the old lady was hacked to death with one knife.
However, when the satisfied and happy Captain Yamashita took out a pair of children's baby shoes from the old lady's arms, Yamashita was really angry.
It turned out that the old lady's baby that she wouldn't let go of was just a pair of broken shoes, and he thought it was a gold bar or something.
As a result, the soldiers beside him, who had already robbed a lot of property, laughed at him for a while.
was so angry that there was water at the bottom of the mountain and cut off the old lady's head with a knife, and stabbed more than a dozen holes in the old lady's body.
There is water under the mountain has made up his mind that the next time he breaks into such a village, he will not rob anything, only kill people, and he will wash away the shame he has suffered with the blood of countless people.
Looking at the deep ruts in front of him, he was not very interested in having water under the mountain, and it was obvious that the convoy he was going to rob was probably pulling some worthless machinery, stones, and the like. Who knows what the money-loving Shina people really like?
So there was water down the hill and unhurriedly following behind these ruts, and he planned to follow the vine, if he could touch the team's lair, maybe he could make a small fortune.
However, when there was water under the mountain and just chased dozens of miles out of the east gate of Shenyang, when an urgent telegram was delivered to him, he suddenly became as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
It turned out that the latest war situation report said that seventeen important towns on the South Manchurian Railway had been occupied by the Kwantung Army, but what really excited him was an urgent telegram from the headquarters.
According to the detailed report in Shenyang City, last night the Shenyang Arsenal, several major banks in Fengtian, and the Dashuai's Mansion were ransacked by a powerful group of bandits.
And this gang of bandits drove hundreds of cars to transport away all the gold and silver, including the Marshal's Mansion.
When I heard that there was water at the bottom of the mountain, it turned out that the hundreds of cars in front of me were full of gold, silver and jewelry. This Chinese is also too rich, the gold of three hundred cars, how much does it cost? Spread it all out, and you can't bury Mt. Fuji yet.
Now, the waist with water at the bottom of the mountain is no longer sore, and the back is no longer painful. With all his strength, he quickly pursued in the direction of the convoy.
While chasing, he was still thinking on the back of a bumpy horse, how much gold would he have to hide after blocking these hundreds of cars? in order not to let the people in the headquarters know.
How much gold does each soldier get? People don't denounce each other. In the end, he thought that his own brigade of more than 1,000 men and horses, each with ten kilograms of gold, didn't seem to be too much?
When I think about it again, the house at home has not yet been flipped, and my younger siblings have not yet married, so I am afraid that I will have to pay 20 kilograms.
Thinking about it again, I still have parents to honor, my wife and children to take care of, and it is estimated that I have to take 30 kilograms to be enough, and I think that I still have a long time to go in the second half of my life, and my son will still get married, and my son's son will marry and have children. How much gold does this get?
Forget it, don't bother thinking about it. This horse can carry as many catties as it wants, and it is really impossible to walk back by itself.
There is water at the foot of the mountain, while thinking about the good thing of dividing the gold, he leads the cavalry brigade to chase after the black pressure.
Suddenly, a series of explosions sounded on the road ahead, and the water under the mountain finally woke up from a sweet dream.
"What's going on, it's rare that we're being blocked by the enemy?"
A cavalryman ran over: "Report to the captain, the soldiers in front stepped on a mine." We lost a dozen soldiers. Request further instructions. ”
"What? What is there to indicate about this? Ten soldiers were immediately left to take care of the wounded, and the rest followed me to continue the pursuit. These hundreds of cars are rushing to flee for their lives, how many can they bury even if they lay mines?
The order was given, and all the cavalry continued to pursue eastward from the two columns. "There was water at the bottom of the mountain, and I immediately thought of a countermeasure.
He planned to hide in the rear again, and let the city soldiers in the vanguard go to the mines. When the convoy is chased, one less soldier will be able to get more gold.
The cavalry of the First Brigade did not know that they had let the captain of the wealthy army sell their lives.
However, the Japanese carried out the order very thoroughly, and soon divided into two columns, more than 1,000 horses, even if there were only 500 men and 500 horses, and then divided into two rows, and the front and rear lined up a kilometer-long procession.
Just as the speed of the first brigade was raised, suddenly on the side of a wide avenue, the entire cavalry brigade stopped again.
There was water at the bottom of the mountain and was furious: "What's the matter? Why stop? ”
Another herald reported that thousands of pits had been dug in the middle of the road ahead, and if they were forced through, they would break a lot of horses' legs.
I didn't believe that there was water at the bottom of the mountain, so I came to the front of the team in person and found that as the herald said, the entire highway was thousands of meters long and no less than tens of thousands of small pits the size of a palm.
If the horse's leg sinks, not only will the horse's leg not be broken, but their cavalry will probably be thrown half to death.
However, when there was water at the bottom of the mountain and he looked at the farms on both sides of the road, he scolded the herald in front of him: "Are your brains full of dung? Why not walk the bookmaker on both sides of the road? ”
"I reported to the captain, because both sides of the road are farmers' farmland, we were afraid of stepping on it and receiving complaints, so we didn't step on it easily. This is when you report back to you and ask for further instructions. ”
"You stupid pigs, this is not Japan, this is China, who dares to complain? Now listen to my orders and immediately go down to the dealer's land on both sides of the road, and from there quickly pass through the land. In the future, whether you are in the way of people or animals, you will all die and die. ”
"Hey!" The heralds immediately gave the order, and soon the procession split into two parts, each advancing from the left and right sides of the road.
But just after running a few steps, the cavalry suddenly stepped on the mines again, and not only were the mines very dense, but more than a dozen mines were detonated at once.
All of a sudden, many of these cavalry began to run backwards, but they were blown up by mines without running a few steps.
There was water under the mountain and immediately guessed that the enemy was from less to more mines. However, he did not believe that the enemy could lay many mines in such a short period of time.
For the sake of gold, he fought, he ordered the troops to rush forward in a straight line, those in front fell, and those in the rear continued to rush, so that he did not believe that there were countless mines here.
Not to mention, this mine-laying method really made him guess, but a few mines were triggered again, and all the cavalry of this brigade rushed out of the minefield, and soon returned to the main road.
After this strike, the team stopped again, and they had to settle the losses.
The damage was not large, although many mines were detonated, but the danger of the mines was not great, and only dozens of people were seriously injured.
There was no way to leave dozens of people to take care of the wounded immediately when there was water under the mountain, and the first brigade, which only had more than 500 people in total, was less than 400 people in the blink of an eye.
There was water under the red-eyed mountain, but he didn't care about this, and continued to chase east with the rest of the cavalry.
I don't know if the deadly way of playing with water under the mountain has messed up Li Tie's deployment. Not to mention, Li Tie's rangers really didn't think of this method.
Originally, I had hoped that this trap would delay the pursuers for at least an hour or two, but now it was good, and in less than half an hour, the people caught up again.
However, when these cavalry had just continued their pursuit from the main road, on a small hillside in the distance, two rangers who were monitoring with binoculars immediately picked up the transmitter next to them and sent a report to the headquarters.
They reported to the command the strength, number, speed and direction of the cavalry, and then the two hurriedly packed up their things and walked to the next place to meet.
