Chapter 512: Under the Glory of the Cavalry
"Quick, kill that tank for Lao Tzu!"
Whew...... More than a dozen tanks of the Japanese army destroyed the accelerator to the maximum, and one by one they fled quickly, rushing out dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, and they were about to flee without a trace.
The fighters jumped off their horses and neatly took out anti-tank rockets and fired at the tanks. It's a pity that this game has no guidance function, and once the tank escapes, it is not easy to grasp the high and low shots. Coupled with the lack of training of the soldiers of the cavalry division, they failed to hit four or five shots in a row.
The commander of the fifth company was in a hurry, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and rushed forward dozens of meters violently, without dismounting, and directly took out the anti-tank bazooka and pulled the trigger.
There was only a whoosh, and the rockets whizzed away with a long trail. Five seconds after flying, the rocket engine ignited, accelerated violently, and rushed straight towards the Japanese tank.
The tank fell to the rear, and it had no intention of maneuvering left and right to evade, and as a result, it was hit on the spot in the rear armor. Rumble! The moment the warhead hits the target, the shaped explosive explodes.
In a cloud of light, a high-temperature and high-speed jet of metal quickly pierced the rear armor. Rumble! Another loud bang was heard, the engine and ammunition compartment were also detonated, and the entire tank was blown into a pile of scrap metal.
The driver of a tank next to him was frightened and fled to the other side, only to panic and plunge into a ditch. Several Japanese soldiers, covered in blood, climbed out of the car and were about to flee, but were beaten into a sieve with submachine guns by the soldiers who caught up.
The head of the horse group was overjoyed, hurriedly put down the binoculars, and ordered loudly: "Good job, two more shots." Kill all the remaining tanks for Lao Tzu! β
The second battalion commander said embarrassedly: "Report to the regiment commander, the rockets have run out!" β
"What?" Commander Ma was immediately furious and scolded: "Nonsense! Didn't it allow you to save ammunition? How did they all run out! β
The fighters said aggrievedly: "Commander, didn't you give the order?" I was still shouting just now, hurry, two more shots......"
Commander Ma had no choice but to ask: "Are there any anti-tank grenades and anti-tank grenades?" β
"And, more!"
"What's that? Don't chase it yet! β
"Yes!"
"Drive, drive!"
The soldiers hurriedly lifted the reins of their horses and continued to chase forward. Running and running. The horses also began to get excited. They all snorted happily and ran forward.
Soon, it will be time to catch up with the Japanese tanks again. The fighters fired grenades at the enemy, though with little accuracy on horseback. But it scared the little devils. Rushing forward even more desperately.
"Chase. Chase! β
"Don't let the little devil go!"
"Don't let a tank go!"
β¦β¦
The fighters turned out to be tired, but they cheered each other on, gritted their teeth and desperately chased after them. This chase and escape. Dozens of miles were soon crossed.
Chasing and chasing, the people and horses are a little physically exhausted. Although these horses were strong, they were very tired, and they opened their nostrils wide, panting desperately, and they were covered in sweat, as if they had been fished out of water. The soldiers were also sweating, and the sweat on their heads drilled into their eyes even harder.
The commander of the second battalion panted and reported: "Regiment, regimental commander! The warriors are all tired, and if they chase after them any longer, even if they can bear it, the horses, the horses can't stand it......"
Commander Ma Renxing took a look, and sure enough, many war horses were beginning to spit white foam, which was a very dangerous signal. After all, people and horses are flesh and blood, and if they run down, they must exhaust the war horses to death.
"What should we do, Commander, can we still chase after us?"
Just as he was hesitating, Division Commander Zhang Zhankui led the team directly under the division to catch up, and scolded with a face: "Why don't you chase it, what are you doing here?" β
The commander of the horse hurriedly said: "Report to the division commander, the soldiers and the horses are tired!" β
"Exhausted?" Master Zhang's eyes widened, and he scolded: "I'm tired and I have to catch up!" β
As he spoke, he jumped off his horse, looked at it, and sneered: "Stupid! The little devil only has a dozen tanks left, do you need to send such a person to chase after him? β
Commander Ma patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, it's still the division commander's brain!" β
So he hurriedly selected half of the horses of the two battalions with better physical strength, and selected the elite of a company from among the soldiers, one man and three horses, and continued to chase and fight.
After a while, the Seventh Regiment, which was originally in charge of the detour, also caught up. They were originally responsible for outflanking the back road of the little devils, but they didn't expect the Japanese army to run wildly all the way and let the Seventh Regiment pounce. Fortunately, the tanks had nothing to hide in the steppe, and the fighters followed the rut prints and chased after them.
The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment were also tired at this time, and the head of the regiment Zhang Dazhi did the same, picked out more than 300 good horses and more than 100 elites, and personally led the team to chase them. The rest of the troops rested in place.
I chased for more than ten miles, but I still couldn't catch up.
The fifth company commander wiped his sweat and said to the commander of the horse: "Regiment commander, the little devil really has nothing to say about this mechanization, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up!" β
The rest of the soldiers were also a little discouraged, and it was not pleasant to eat ashes behind the enemy's buttocks. Commander Ma had no choice but to report to Division Commander Zhang.
"No, keep chasing!" Division Commander Zhang said categorically: "Tell the soldiers, we are tired, and the little devils are not easy!" Today, I am chasing to the northeast, and I have to catch the mountain road Xiunan back to Lao Tzu! β
"Yes!"
The soldiers were gritting their teeth and persevering, and just when Division Commander Zhang himself began to waver, the Japanese army finally dropped the chain. A broken down tank was abandoned by the Japanese soldiers, and the soldiers pounced on it with joy, but unfortunately the Japanese soldiers in the car had fled.
Division Commander Zhang arranged for several tired soldiers and war horses to stay behind to take care of them, and led his troops to continue to chase.
Soon, several tanks abandoned by the Japanese army were found one after another. Tanks of this era were very struggling when carried out at long distances. In particular, most of the Japanese tanks were air-cooled, and if they kept moving at full speed, they were prone to breakdowns. Coupled with the lack of fuel and other reasons, the Japanese threw seven tanks one after another. However, the personnel were taken away by the remaining tanks, and no prisoners were captured.
"Brothers, the little devil can't hold on anymore!"
"Persistence is victory!"
"Chase, there is still one breath left to chase Lao Tzu!"
β¦β¦
The fighters discovered the embarrassment of the Japanese army. The mentality of beating the water dogs with a stick made their morale rise one by one. Although the war horse is tired, one person and three horses can still persevere. And the hot-blooded war horses are a bit "crazy", and once they get excited, they will run with their lives.
Finally, the fighters once again caught up with the remnants of the Japanese army. By this time, the Japanese army had only six tanks left, and they were still staggering. They had to go at a lower speed due to the overheating of the engine, and the car was packed with people, which greatly reduced their maneuverability and made them even more clumsy!
Boom, boom!
From time to time, the fighters fired grenades at the Japanese troops. However, the accuracy and power are slightly lacking. It's kind of like a rat gnawing on a tortoise. There is nowhere to put your mouth in the mouth. The commander of the fifth company was in a hurry, and rushed directly into the Japanese tank column with a few soldiers with good riding skills.
Hi! The commander of the fifth company shouted, suddenly jumped from his horse, and jumped right onto the roof of a tank. Another fighter jumped in on suit. but was thrown by the body. I almost fell.
The commander of the fifth company hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed it. shouted in his mouth: "Xiao Li, grenade, quick!" β
Xiao Li hurriedly took out two grenades from his waist and handed them over. The commander of the fifth company crawled forward. I want to open the top cover on the turret and throw it in. I didn't expect to pull it hard, but I couldn't pull it open. It turned out that the Japanese army was also afraid of this trick, and they had already blocked it from the inside. Both of them were in a hurry, and they couldn't pry it open, so they had to use a grenade to knock it violently.
The Japanese soldiers in the car were also frightened, and turned around the turret in an attempt to throw the people on the roof of the car off. The fifth company commander and Xiao Li hugged the turret in a panic. At this moment, the cavalrymen who followed behind suddenly shouted: "Jump down, danger!" β
Before Xiao Li could understand what was going on, he was pushed down by the commander of the fifth company, and then he heard the sudden sound of machine guns and the roars of his comrades. It turned out that the tank in front suddenly turned its muzzle to the back and fired at them with a side-by-side machine gun. The commander of the fifth company was in a hurry, and pushed Xiao Li away, but he didn't dodge it, and died heroically on the spot.
"Fifth Company Commander!" Xiao Li looked back and saw that the fifth company commander had fallen off the top of the tank covered in blood.
"Five Company Commanders, Five Company Commanders!"
"Brothers, avenge the commander of the fifth company!"
The soldiers were so angry that their lungs were about to explode, and they shouted and threw themselves at the Japanese tanks. Seeing that they could not escape, the Japanese stopped their cars, turned the turrets, and opened heavy fire on the cavalry with machine guns and tank guns.
"Beat him up bitch!"
Not to be outdone, the fighters immediately jumped off their horses, occupied the nearby ditches and rocks, set up machine guns and anti-tank grenades and fired back fiercely.
After a fierce battle, the radio antenna and periscope of the Japanese tank were damaged, and the hull of the tank was also seriously damaged. However, the casualties of the soldiers were also very large, especially the machine gun positions were destroyed one by one by the Japanese anti-tank guns, and even the machine gun platoon commander Zhang Dafu was also killed. And without the anti-tank bazooka, it was difficult for the fighters to confront the Japanese tanks head-on.
"Holy shit!" Several brave fighters picked up a few anti-tank grenades and threw them at the tanks one by one. The tracks of a tank were blown off, and the crew had to abandon the vehicle and flee to another vehicle.
At this moment, the head of Zhang Dazhi also led his troops to catch up. When the Japanese saw that the cavalry was fighting more and more, they turned around and ran away in fright. Master Zhang Zhankui was overjoyed and shouted: "Quick, keep chasing!" β
Regiment Commander Zhang Dazhi had learned anti-tank tactics in the armored cavalry division before, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Division commander, the firepower of the little devil is too fierce, don't chase too closely!" β
Master Zhang Zhankui glanced at him and said angrily: "Then what do you say?" β
"Although the tank is powerful, the little devils in it also have to eat, drink, ventilate, and the tank has to refuel. There are also ravines and rivers ahead, and if you are not careful, the tank will be planted in the ditch, and as long as you chase closely, you will have a chance. β
"Okay, inform the platoons, don't chase too closely, and put me far behind."
"Don't open fire lightly, but don't let the tank crew leave the car either!"
"Yes!"
"Keep chasing!"
"If you go to the west sky, you have to catch the little devils back!"
β¦β¦
After another chase, the warriors suddenly cheered. It turned out that a small river blocked the way of the tank. The tanks of this era are not as good as the cattle B to the point where they can wade, and the water is a little deeper, and they have to stop cooking.
The Japanese had no choice but to flee along the river in the direction of due north. The only five remaining tanks ran and panicked, and another tank plunged headlong into the mud pool. The other four tanks were unable to rescue them, so they left the tank and fled.
The warriors were overjoyed and rushed forward with their horses. Then he jumped straight on the tank, dialed the antenna, knocked on the periscope, and one soldier somewhere found a shovel to pry the roof door open. The Japanese soldiers were afraid that they would throw grenades inside, so they had to stick a white cloth out of the front window and surrender.
Under the supervision of the soldiers, the Japanese prisoners crawled out of it one by one, and all their weapons were confiscated. A long row of breath was not enough, and when he stepped forward, he stepped forward with two feet and carried the little devil in the lead to the ground.
"Run, why don't you run? Aren't you very good at running? β
The soldiers remembered their comrades who had just died. is also gritting his teeth with hatred. A rush of punches and kicks. Beat these eight or nine devils crying dad and calling mother, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.
The rest of the platoons watched amusement, and continued to chase the remnants of the enemy. Running and running, everyone has unconsciously entered the depths of the grassland.
At this time, the Japanese army had only four tanks left. And every tank is packed. Since it is not possible to open the top lid for ventilation. Some of the frail little devils were so suffocated that they were about to faint. The fighters were not in a hurry, they followed as if they were leaving the ground, as long as the tank dared to stop or someone opened the lid to breathe. Without saying a word, it was a random beating, which scared the little devil and continued to escape.
"Enjoyable, enjoyable!" Master Zhang Zhankui laughed when he saw it, and scolded: "The little devil raised by the son of a bitch, you are also today!" I think you were on the Yellow River back then, and you wanted to throw your grandfather to the sky, and now you will be punished! Hahahaha......"
Regiment Commander Ma Renxing suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "Division commander, there are a large number of unknown forces around, and we are surrounded!" β
"What!" Master Zhang was taken aback and quietly looked around. Sure enough, in the low places where the wind blows the grass, a large force of cavalry is revealed from time to time. These people have different colors, and they don't know where they come from, Master Zhang's heart was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Head Zhang Dazhi also noticed that something was wrong, and asked in a panic: "It's not good!" Looking like horse bandits in the Rehe area, these guys are all ruthless! Commander, what should I do? β
The area around Rehe is barren and chaotic, so there are many bandits, like the aforementioned Bai Fengxiang and Li Shouxin, who used to fall into grass in Rehe. Moreover, many small Mongolian tribes often take advantage of the fire to rob, which can be described as both people and bandits, soldiers and thieves, and the boundaries are very blurred. These people are skilled riders and know geography well, and they don't know when they came. Everyone only cared about the tank chasing the devil, and they were forced to within 200 meters before they found out. At this distance, the cavalry arrived in an instant!
Head Ma and Head Zhang glanced at each other and couldn't help but secretly complain. This is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and it actually broke into the horse bandits' den.
These guys are not "good people" at first glance, and they all look at the warriors with fierce eyes. At this time, the warriors also found those cavalrymen of unknown origin, and they were all a little overwhelmed.
"Don't panic!" Division Commander Zhang coughed and said in a deep voice: "These guys bully the weak and fear the hard, let the soldiers not show their cowardice!" Immediately use the radio to contact the remaining troops to report the situation here, so that they can rush to reinforcements as soon as possible! β
"Are we still chasing that little devil?"
"Chase! Today, let's let the soil buns of Rehe see what a real cavalry is! β
"Chase, chase!"
β¦β¦
The fighters continued to pursue, ignoring the thousands of "onlookers" around them. Those guys did not know their tendencies, and the Japanese did not dare to ask them for help, so they had to run wildly.
Bang bang bang...... From time to time, the Japanese also switched in and fired at the pursuers with machine guns and tank guns, but the cavalry counterattacked and soon had to flee.
When the bandits saw this, they all looked surprised, and they followed and watched, and from time to time some gangs rushed over. Anyway, you don't have to spend money to buy tickets, don't look at it! Soon, there were more and more horse bandits around, and the people were noisy and neighing, which made the soldiers feel a little hairy. But there is no way, now that it has reached this point, I can only chase forward.
Regiment Commander Ma Renxing couldn't help but curse secretly, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and continued to chase after the Japanese tank. The surrounding bandits made a noise, and then followed in a chaotic manner. These guys are like a flock of vultures, ready to pounce at any moment.
The chase lasted until dark, when two more tanks broke down along the way and were captured by the fighters. The last two tanks continued to flee, and the soldiers were very tired at this time, and the battle had lasted all day, and the journey was more than 100 miles, and the horses were a little unable to run. Moreover, there are so many ill-intentioned horse bandits around, but the enemy Chieftain Lu Xiunan has not yet been caught, so the cavalry has to grit their teeth and continue to pursue.
After a little more pursuit, until they reached the edge of a town, another tank went over the ditch, and the men and the car became prisoners. Division Commander Zhang Zhankui sent someone to try it first, and found that Hideo Yamaji was not here, and continued to chase the last tank.
At this time, it is getting late and the moonlight is not clear. Fortunately, the horse bandits lit torches one after another, and the warriors "borrowed light" to continue chasing.
After chasing until eight o'clock in the evening, a scout finally ran back and reported: "Division commander, the little devil's tank is parked in front!" β
"It's probably out of gas, quick, surround it!"
So Commander Zhang Dazhi personally led a company and scattered and surrounded the tanks. Regiment Commander Ma Renxing commanded another company to keep watch around to prevent those horse bandits from taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Several fighters stooped quickly towards the tank, and then jumped onto the roof with a sharp swoop. But the lid on the roof of the car was open, and when I turned on the flashlight, it was emptyβpeople had already run away!
"His grandmother's, surrounded by so many horse bandits, people must not have run far, search for me!"
The soldiers hurriedly searched around, and it didn't take long to find five devils left in a bush, among which was Hideo Yamaji! It turned out that their car was loaded with fewer people, carried more fuel, and was in the best condition, so they fled the farthest.
"Hands up!"
"Wow, wow, wow, Mori Snout!" (Note: We treat Japanese prisoners preferentially!) οΌ
"If you don't surrender, you're dead!"
The soldiers surrounded them with guns and spoke a variety of "Japanese" words.
When Hideo Yamaji and the others looked at it, they saw that there were torches everywhere around, and they were afraid that there were not thousands of that army (they included the horse bandits), so they hesitated for a moment, and finally raised their hands to surrender.
"Oh, oh, long live the World War Zone!"
"Long live Commander Zheng!"
"Long live the third division of the new cavalry!"
β¦β¦
The warriors began to cheer loudly, despite the fact that there were still a large number of unknown weapons around them. Master Zhang Zhankui also looked up to the sky and smiled happily, and said loudly: "Come on, bring the mountain road show man to Lao Tzu!" β
A dozen warriors rushed forward, beating the captives with a few butts, and then pushing and shoving them over. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The warrior named Xiao Li suddenly stepped forward and asked viciously, "You are the mountain road Xiunan?" β
Hideo Yamaji, still immersed in the frustration of defeat and capture, nodded blankly.
"Let's even live a long life!" Xiao Li shouted, and raised his hand to be a shuttle. Hideo Yamaji was caught off guard, and fell into a pool of blood with a scream.
"What are you doing?" Commander Ma Renxing was startled, hurriedly handed over Xiao Li's gun, and stepped forward to see that there were seven or eight holes in the chest of the mountain road Xiunan, not to mention that he couldn't die anymore.
"What kind of fame, Lao Tzu has been chasing for more than 100 miles, and finally caught a living lieutenant general, how did you give Lao Tzu a surprise!"
"I, I want our company commander to take revenge!" Xiao Li said aggrievedly: "Killing people pays for life, this is a rule since ancient times!" β
"Alas, you bastard, you're mad at me!" Master Zhang Zhankui angrily kicked Xiao Li down, and asked helplessly, "What should I do?" β
Ma Renxing hurriedly said: "Commander, now that we are still in danger, let's take it as that little devil who committed suicide!" This guy went back and let him be a groom, and chop up forage for a hundred days. As he spoke, he kicked Xiao Li again.
Division Commander Zhang nodded, and suddenly shouted: "Gather troops and prepare for battle!" β
The head of the horse regiment was suddenly startled, and sure enough, the horse bandits around him had already gathered around him by the night...... (To be continued......)
