Although in the eyes of many, there was never a shortage of cavalry in the steppe region. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The perennial nomadic life makes most of the young people living here skilled in bow and horse, as long as they are equipped with weapons, they are elite cavalry who are good at riding.

However, with the birth of rifles and machine guns, bows and arrows, which used to be the main combat weapons of cavalry, gradually disappeared from the equipment sequence of cavalry. Even many grassland ranchers know that rifles are better than bows and arrows.

Although each ranch had a large number of armed cavalry, their combat effectiveness was undoubtedly greatly reduced compared to the cavalry in the regular army. Not to mention, at the moment, these armed cavalry simply can't run.

Looking at the motionless cavalry sitting on horses outside the ranch, as well as the martial arts workers who came on horseback to persuade them to surrender, many armed cavalry knew it. As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons, they can still save a life.

Since the appearance of the Wugong team in the Sunit Right Banner, some ranchers have also been defeated by them. Under normal circumstances, these Eighth Route Army armed engineering teams only cleaned up the ranchers and their henchmen, but most of the armed cavalry like them were disarmed.

Listening to the persuasion outside, the rancher was undoubtedly very flustered. But the rancher also knew in his heart that even if he surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, the final outcome would be confiscated by the Eighth Route Army.

Just looking at the herdsmen and slaves in the ranch, most of them have bright eyes, and the rancher knows very well that he wants to keep the pasture, and he is afraid that there is not much hope. Now all he can rely on is to hope that the puppet Mongolian cavalry of the general banner can come as soon as possible.

After some persuasion, I only received a reply from the rancher, and I need to think about it. The martial arts team member said directly: "Since you have given up the opportunity to surrender, then don't blame us for implementing a liquidation policy for you." Get ready to attack! ”

After throwing off these words, the rancher who was standing behind the bunker soon saw that among the cavalry team surrounding the ranch, a dozen cavalrymen quickly walked out, untied the small-caliber mortars that were tied immediately, and began to erect them outside the ranch.

'Master, the eighth road is about to be fired, what should I do? ’

'What can I do?' Hold on first, hoping that the general flag will come and send someone to support. We are here, and we are not too far from the general flag. As long as they hold out for a while, when our large army arrives, they will definitely be driven away.

Damn, how could the Eighth Route dispatch such a large cavalry at this time? What do our cavalry patrols do for food? Why is there no news at all, if I had known, I would have gone to hide in the general flag for a few days. ’

The rancher who said this, faced with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army and began to set up mortars, also did not have a good way. When the mortar was erected, the former soldier shouted outside with a loudspeaker.

said: "Listen to the people inside, if you don't want to accompany your rancher to death, then quickly find a place to hide." If you are willing to tie up the rancher, our Eighth Route Army can give meritorious service and leniency. ”

After saying this, the rancher said with a somewhat nervous face: "Don't listen to these dirty people, they can't attack our pasture." We've sent for reinforcements, and they'll run away when they arrive.

Today, you all cheer up my lord, as long as you keep until the reinforcements arrive, the lord will definitely give you a heavy reward. If you listen to the words of the Eight Roads, you can think about how those Taijun will clean you up after they find out! ”

Knowing that his deterrent power may not be strong enough, the rancher will also be smart enough to carry out the little devil of the general flag. The herdsmen living near the general banner know that those little devils are also very cruel to those who join the Eighth Road.

When both sides were engaged in psychological warfare, the artillery platoon commander who had completed the artillery erection soon heard the company commander who led the team say: "Xiao Li, reward a few shells and focus on shelling the opponent's machine gun position!" ”

'Yes, Company Commander! ’

With the order of the company commander, the artillery platoon commander personally adjusted the angle of the artillery and did not conduct any test firing. Directly ordered to launch an artillery bombardment, and several shells quickly whistled and flew straight to the bunker where the armed cavalry of the ranch was hiding.

The explosion of 'boom boom' rang out, and some of the armed cavalry hiding near the bunker also let out screams of pain. Listening to the screams of these people, the armed cavalry who stayed in the pasture could only pray that the shells would not fly to them.

The rumbling sound of shelling also quickly spread all around, and if it had been before, this shelling would have alarmed the nearby puppet Mongolian cavalry patrols. It's a pity that before the encirclement of this ranch, the nearby patrol cavalry were shot or disarmed.

Therefore, even if some herders in the vicinity hear the shelling, they also do not know what is happening. It's just that the messenger cavalry, who had been deliberately let go by the cavalry company before, had already hurried to the location of the general banner at this moment.

As soon as the messenger cavalry entered the general banner, it attracted the attention of the pseudo-Mongolian sentinels who were standing guard at the gate. When he heard the armed cavalry, he was a little alarmed and informed about the incident, and immediately a pseudo-Mongolian sentry brought him into the general banner's office.

When the commander of the puppet Mongolian cavalry stationed in the right banner of Sunit learned the news, he also said with a surprised face: "You are the cavalry of the Serra Ranch?" You say that there are hundreds of Eighth Route cavalry attacking your pasture, is it true? ”

'Sir, if there is any lie in this matter, I will be hit with five thunderbolts in the sky. There are only more than 100 escorts in our ranch, and we are afraid that we will not be able to resist the attack of Tubalu, so please send troops to rescue our lord quickly! ’

At the same time, the company commander of the puppet Mongolian army, who came over with the messenger, also said in a timely manner: "Tuanzao, I know this person, he is the henchman of Lord Serra, and he doesn't dare to spread the news at such a time."

Although I can't believe it, there are hundreds of cavalry troops here. But during this time, the martial arts team has been attacking near us, and they must want to make something big, so we have to guard against it! ”

As the commander of the cavalry company stationed in the general banner, they usually have a good relationship with the nearby ranchers. In the past, when I patrolled the ranches of those ranchers, I always received the hospitality and hard-earned money of those ranchers.

Now that someone has an accident, if you don't even help to say something, it seems a little too unkind!

Listening to the help of the company commander under him, the cavalry commander naturally knew what was going on. But he still said: "Hundreds of cavalry, if we want to send troops, we must send at least one battalion of cavalry to reinforce it." I can't do this! ”

After saying this, the armed cavalry who came to report the news naturally begged bitterly. Soon the cavalry commander also agreed, and first reported the matter to the Kwantung Army that managed them, and it was up to the little devil to decide whether to save it or not.

When Nakasa, the little devil who was in charge of supervising the right banner of Sunit, heard the report of the cavalry commander, he was also a little surprised: "Na! Hundreds of horsemen, how is this possible? ”

'Taijun, the news should be true! The cavalry squad we sent to patrol there has not yet returned. If nothing else, something should have happened to them. There wasn't much time left until dark, and it would be too late to go to the rescue. ’

'Yo! I will send a small detachment of cavalry with you to clear these dirt roads. Send a cavalry battalion from your cavalry regiment to attack, and be sure to destroy this eight-way cavalry in the shortest possible time. ’

'Yes, Tai-kun! ’

With the consent of the general flag garrison officer, the cavalry commander did not dare to say anything more. Not long after, a heavily armed cavalry battalion and a Japanese cavalry squad quickly moved out of the camp from the general banner.

Seeing that these cavalrymen were still out of the administrative center so late, some of the people who stayed in the administrative center were naturally very curious. The intelligence officer of the Eighth Route Army, who was responsible for monitoring the situation of the general flag, also learned the news very quickly.

From the other direction, a scout soon arrived on a fast horse to report the news. These puppet Mongolian cavalry who went out of the city can't come back. The transfer of them from the General Banner Office is also to relieve the pressure on the next attack on the General Banner.

It's just that to the surprise of the puppet Mongolian cavalry, not long after the cavalry support force left the camp, several fast horses rushed into the city, all of them came to ask for help. This situation surprised the general flag garrison officer.

'Yaga! How could there be so many Eighth Route Cavalry near our administrative office? What the hell is going on? ’

In the face of such confusion, the garrison officer of the administrative station also felt that something was wrong with the situation. But these ranchers are also the main force that helps them control the area. If they don't save them, I'm afraid that nothing good will come out of these people.

If the Eighth Route Army really solves these ranchers, even the herdsmen and serfs managed by the ranchers will inevitably be liberated by the Eighth Route Army. At that time, what is the use of guarding a general flag?

With the puppet Mongolian cavalry units being dispatched, the side of the General Banner Office soon seemed empty. It wasn't until the night began to send out guards that the garrison officer felt that he had failed to get into the plan.

'What? Is there only one infantry squadron left in our office now? ’

'Yes, Your Excellency, our cavalry has been dispatched. As for the Imperial Army, there was only less than one main battalion left. However, tonight they will all be on duty to patrol the night. ’

Listening to the report of his subordinates, the garrison officer said a little nervously: "I'm afraid that there will be a situation tonight, so all our troops will be sent out to patrol." At the same time, a curfew was imposed, prohibiting anyone from moving around the prison at will, and the order was conveyed. ”

'Hey! ’

Although they have reacted, all the troops have been dispatched. Even if you want to recover those reinforcements, I'm afraid it's impossible. For this reason, what the garrison can do is to send out all the troops in his hands to strengthen the security vigilance on the side of the administrative office.

The defenders of the Zhisho, who had been waiting for reinforcements to return, finally heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city in the middle of the night. Just when the Japanese soldiers accompanying the patrol and guarding immediately ordered everyone to call for battle preparations, this group of people had already arrived at the gate of the Zhisho.

After some interrogation, the puppet Mongolian cavalry in charge of guarding the gate quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Because these people who came back were the same teams that their cavalry regiment sent outside to clear the Eighth Route Army. When the mission was accomplished, they returned overnight.

But no one expected that after the gate of the governance center was opened, the cavalry who returned to the city to resume their lives entered the governance office. Some of the horsemen, who were on horseback, suddenly drew their guns and shot them. For a while, no matter how stupid people are, they know that the Eighth Road is really coming! (To be continued.) )
