Chapter 553: A good start
"Don't panic, come slowly!"
On the fragile ice, any drastic movement will have terrible consequences, but fortunately, the soldiers of the Feng army are well-trained, and although they are nervous, everyone is in order and moving slowly.
There was a click, and there was a cracking sound, and a cold river gushed out, and one of a soldier's feet sank rapidly, and his face turned pale in an instant when he saw that he was about to fall into the river.
"Get down on your stomach and crawl over!"
The comrades-in-arms on the side hurriedly reminded him, and the soldier also suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly lay on the ice, the ice was still crumbling, and the gushing river water soaked his lower half of his body. But fortunately, the ice did not completely disintegrate, and he carefully climbed out of a few meters, and finally avoided this dangerous area and escaped safely.
He was obviously lucky, on the other side of the river suddenly cracked, and before the two soldiers and their horses could react, they fell into the ice cave, and in the biting water, they would lose their strength after a few flutters. A soldier's thigh cramped suddenly, and his body quickly sank into the river, and before other soldiers could come to the rescue, he had already sunk into the icy river.
It took more than half an hour to cross the river, and after careful counting, a total of more than 30 soldiers fell into the river one after another, and five of them died in the river, and all of them could not help but have palpitations.
Hou Lang, as the head of the regiment, was the first to cheer up: "Brothers, we have succeeded in coming, we must let the Russians taste the bitterness, and the sacrificed brothers cannot be paid in vain!" ”
After a brief rectification, the cavalry regiment was finally restored. The scouts had already taken action, seized two Russian soldiers on patrol, and after questioning them, they finally understood the situation, and only had to walk another twenty or thirty kilometers north to reach the Trans-Siberian Railway.
After getting the news. Hou Lang was also overjoyed, the purpose of his operation was to disrupt the rear of the Russians, and cutting off the railroad was one of the main tasks, and he immediately gave the order for the soldiers to rush north.
The cavalry took advantage of the darkness of the night to run wildly, and from time to time encountered small Russian forces along the way, but they were no match for the Feng army, and they were all wiped out quickly. After running all night, finally when the sky was bright, they followed the scheduled jihua. Came near the railway line.
It was a small temporary stop to replenish the steam locomotives, and the Russians sent more than a hundred defensive soldiers here, but since it was still hundreds of kilometers from the front line, they could not have imagined that the Feng army would suddenly appear in front of them.
Until the sound of horses' hooves cracking and landslides was heard. The Russian soldiers were alarmed, and they panicked and took up arms to resist. But in a hurry. They can only fire back sporadically, and they don't have much effect at all.
Hou Lang's face was hideous, and he roared loudly: "Rush with me and kill all the Russian devils!" ”
The regimental commander took the lead, and the other soldiers followed closely, their hooves stomping on the ground. A muffled thunderous sound was heard, and the panicked Russians were terrified. Gunfire continued to ring, and one Russian after another was killed, many of whom did not have time to put on their uniforms. Wearing only underwear, he died in front of the railroad tracks.
The assault of more than 2,000 cavalry was quite terrifying, and in less than ten minutes, the more than 100 Russian soldiers guarding were all wiped out.
"Regiment commander, let's quickly blow up the railway line for him, and see how these old hairmen still deliver supplies to the front line!" A soldier excitedly suggested.
"Not busy!" Hou Lang hurriedly waved his hand, he suddenly had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Quick, everyone hurry up and clean up the battlefield, drag the corpses away, and then all the brothers in the company will change into Russian uniforms, and the others will hide first!" ”
It was after occupying this small station that Hou Lang found the Russian railway transportation map, which was only more than thirty kilometers away from Pavlovich, and the transportation map showed that the Russians' supplies were mainly concentrated here.
It is clear that Pavlovich has been used by the Russians as a base camp for the transportation of supplies, and from here further east is Skovorodino, the site of the onslaught of the Feng army.
From the small station in front of him, to Pavlovich, to Skovorodino, all three points are on the Trans-Siberian Railway, Hou Lang is no longer satisfied with destroying the railway, he wants to play a big one, completely disrupt the rear of the Russians.
He called the main officers, and then said to everyone: "I will let the company disguise itself as Russians, and when a train comes, intercept the train, and then we will take the train to Pavlovich and destroy this logistics base, the Russians will definitely collapse without a fight, and the area north of the Mohe River will fall into our hands." ”
The others are also masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth, and when they heard this, they all came to the spirit and unanimously agreed with this idea, but Liu Yue, the commander of the first battalion, said with some hesitation: "Regiment commander, we are all cavalry, if we take the train over, I am afraid that we will throw down the war horse, I am worried that it will affect the combat effectiveness." ”
"What is there to be afraid of, being a hero on a horse, being a hero without a war horse, can we still be afraid of Russian Maozi?" The second battalion commander said nonchalantly.
Hou Lang waved his hand: "Lao Liu's worry is right, once we take the train, our soldiers will be divided into two ways, all the way forward by the train, all the way with the war horse to follow behind, when the time comes, we will definitely be able to take Pavlovich." ”
Liu Yue also nodded happily: "The head of the regiment has a good idea, now there is only one problem left, when will the Russian train arrive?" ”
"I look at their dispatch map, they should have come over a long time ago, why haven't they appeared yet!"
Just when Hou Lang was wondering, a Russian military train finally drove over, the train was full of food, and slowly drove into the station. The man in charge of the security of this military column was a bearded officer, and the war with China in the Far East was still very stressful for Russia.
The First World War and the Civil War had exhausted the country's potential, the common people were suffering from a severe famine, all the food that had been mobilized to the front was painstakingly raised, and how many families were beaten as counter-revolutionaries and sent to concentration camps because they opposed the surrender of food, I am afraid that even the Russians themselves do not know.
"Quick, add coal and water, we must rush to the front, send food to comrades, and win against those damned Chinese!"
The bearded man shouted loudly, completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap, and that two soldiers had already arrived at his side, both of them wearing thick dogskin hats on their heads, and they could not distinguish their appearance at all, but they felt a little short.
Before the bearded man knew what was going on, two guns were already in his chest, and at the same time, the other soldiers of the Feng army also rushed onto the train and killed all the other Russian soldiers, and the column was easily in his hands.
"Commander, it seems that none of us can drive a train?"
Hou Lang also thought of this problem, it is indeed a big problem how to make this big iron guy move. He immediately rushed to the locomotive car in three or two steps, and there happened to be a trembling Russian driver inside.
When he saw Hou Lang rushing up, his face was full of horror and he muttered nonsense.
"Who understands Russian, what exactly is he talking about?" Hou Lang asked loudly.
Liu Yue listened carefully, and then said: "Regiment leader, he said that his family is a capitalist, and he doesn't want to work for the majority of the party at all, he was forced to be helpless, so let's spare him." ”
Hou Lang's eyes lit up, didn't he lack a driver, so he said with a smile: "It's easy to spare him, be honest and obedient, and you can survive!" ”
The train roared again, and the Feng army had already moved the grain on it, Hou Lang personally led half of the soldiers to board the train, and the other soldiers rode war horses and followed unhurriedly behind.
The speed of the train in this era was only about thirty kilometers per hour, and at short distances, the cavalry would not be left behind, especially since it was so close to Pavlovich, so there was not much to worry about.
After less than two hours of driving, a city finally appeared in front of them, and the soldiers guarding the railway line did not expect that there would be a problem with this train, and they kept waving to the train, thinking that a large amount of supplies had finally arrived.
The train came to a slow stop, and some Russian soldiers were rushing past the load, but instead of food, bullets were waiting for them.
"Hit me hard!"
Hou Lang ordered the soldiers to shoot at the Russian soldiers, and the bullets hit the Russians mercilessly like a storm, and the happy event suddenly turned into a funeral, and the Russian soldiers all lost their lives before they could figure out what was going on.
The Feng army quickly took control of the station, and Hou Lang rushed to the warehouse next to the station with his men and horses, where he was facing a large amount of ammunition, food, clothing and other materials, and had not yet had time to transport them away. After a rough calculation, it was enough for at least one brigade of soldiers, and when Hou Lang saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brothers, you're welcome, give me something!"
At the sound of the order, the Feng army poured the prepared haode gasoline on it, and then lit a fire, and the flames flew up, engulfing these precious materials in one fell swoop.
Hou Lang was not satisfied, he beckoned the soldiers to continue to rush and kill everywhere, setting fires everywhere, fortunately, the Feng army was also familiar with this kind of thing, and soon there were fires everywhere.
These supplies are the lifeblood of the front line, the Russians are all crazy, they rush over desperately, trying to rescue the supplies, but Hou Lang will not give them a chance at all, commanding the soldiers to continue to attack, so that the Russians are exhausted.
Just when it was in chaos, Liu Yue commanded the other cavalry to arrive, and when he saw the fire in the city, he immediately knew that the regiment commander had succeeded, and he hahadaxiao: "Brothers, follow me and kill all the Russians!" (To be continued......)
