Chapter 226: Running for the Savior

At dawn, the edge of the sky began to show the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the Japanese began to retreat by the faint light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info This siege of the stronghold of Oshibashi is estimated to be at least 2,000 troops they have lost, and the remaining soldiers are demoralized. This operation, which consumed a lot of supplies, must be ended, otherwise the First Army would most likely be driven back to Korea by the Qing army.

At the beginning of the siege, the ten field guns they brought with them were accurately destroyed by the improved "naval mortars" of the 1st Volunteer Brigade and UFOs with tail flames. Without the cover of heavy firepower, they had to use their lives to dig the tunnel leading to the stronghold of the Great Stone Bridge.

They were once so close to success that the soldiers of the 1st Volunteer Brigade had been forced back to the last line of defense of the stronghold, at least the Japanese soldiers and Yama Prefecture Aritomo thought so. However, they dodged the pursuit of the little guy who could hover in the air like a dragonfly, but they could not avoid the killing machine like the mythical Jinpeng, at least more than a thousand soldiers were killed and injured by it.

It's all over, and now what they have to do is to quickly pack up the rest of the supplies, otherwise the survivors won't even be able to withstand this cold wave that the locals call the "inverted spring cold". The Japanese soldiers took advantage of the fact that the people in the Dashiqiao stronghold had not yet come out to counterattack, and seized the time to collect the materials abandoned on the battlefield, the guns and ammunition of the dead soldiers, the military uniforms and uniforms that were still complete, and even the mules and horses that were shot, and they tried to collect what could get them through this cold wave.

Suddenly, the Japanese soldiers heard the sound of dense horses' hooves stomping on the ground in the distance, and the number of cavalry troops approaching at this rapid distance was not less than two thousand. The foot pot chicken himself knew the deployment of his troops on the Liaohe Plain, and they would not have nearly 2,000 cavalry troops rushing over to reinforce them, and this cavalry would definitely be friend or foe.

The big stone bridge is no longer on the Liaodong Peninsula, it is located on the edge of the Liaohe Plain, the terrain can not be said to be a flat river, but it is also a terrain that can allow cavalry to rush up. Youpeng in Shan County has the heart to commit suicide with a gun at this time, and the dream of being the first to capture the commander of the position of the First Volunteer Brigade has just been shattered, and now he is facing the pursuit of cavalry. The 7,000 troops he brought with him were all drawn from the troops fighting in various parts of the Liaohe Plain, and if they were all explained here, then the advantage over the Qing army that the Japanese army had gained after fighting for more than half a year would have been buried by him himself.

Yama Prefecture hastened to have the reserves organize a defense to deal with the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry, so that the troops that were still picking up the tatters could withdraw, and he hoped that the reserves would at least hold out until the crippled troops retreated to favorable terrain.

At this time, the big lawn mower had already detoured to the flank of this high-speed moving cavalry unit, and Cheng Ziyi was ready to tilt the remaining ammunition down.

“Friendly!” At this time, the fire controller suddenly shouted loudly and decisively pressed the shooting safe.

Several of the Cadet Laser Beams in this cavalry unit were swinging in the direction of the AC-130U, which were signals from the kind of American-made friend-foe laser emitters that were worn on the fingers. It's the end of the 19th century, and the only people who can have this stuff are friendly troops.

“WTF? Friendly? When did we have 2,000 cavalry? Zou Heming was also stunned when he heard the shouts of the fire controller on the big lawnmower.

The cavalry troops that are advancing at high speed are indeed friendly troops that have crossed the crowd, and the cavalry troops that led this cavalry force that rushed to reinforce were Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast of the original time and space. When Zou Heming dispatched the "guerrillas," he took into account the problem of identifying friend or foe, and equipped each of their squads with this small laser device for identifying friend or foe. It is also thanks to the flaw of the "Balancer" Gatling cannon on the AC-130U, Zhang Yu flew closer to the cavalry column on the ground in order to ensure the hit rate, otherwise it would be difficult to find this kind of laser beam for identifying friend and foe used for close combat even if the fire control officer was sharp.

Although Zhang Zuolin is uneducated, he is a very smart person, and after he came to Dashiqiao, he showed great enthusiasm for all the novelties of the Great Song Dynasty. From the system of the Great Song Dynasty to the equipment, even if he can't understand it, he has to memorize it in his head. When he led the cavalry to charge towards the big stone bridge, he heard a huge roar in the sky, which completely overwhelmed the sound of 8,000 horses' hooves stomping on the ground when 2,000 horses were running, and Zhang Zuolin knew that the planes in the sky were much larger than the helicopters he had usually seen.

He decisively ordered all the people in the team equipped with friend or foe identification devices to dance the laser launcher in their hands in the direction of the source of the sound, and it was his order that allowed the cavalry troops who rushed to reinforce to escape, otherwise the "Balancer" Gatling cannon would have been bloody enough to fire on the flanks of the horse team. Their fate may be worse than that of the assembled foot basin infantry in front, and those Japanese soldiers who are lucky enough to escape the 25mm shells will be able to save their lives, but the cavalry that dodges the shells will have a high chance of tripping over the horses or the corpses of the soldiers in front of them, and then being trampled by the horses that follow behind.

The loud roar was far away from the horse team charging towards the remnants of the Japanese army, at this time Zhang Zuolin did not know that he had just brushed shoulders with death, he loudly beckoned his teammates to show their sabers, they were about to collide head-on with the Japanese reserve hastily constructed blocking position.

What kind of decent blocking position can the reserve team of the footbasin chicken hastily come up with in such light conditions, it is nothing more than pushing some wooden carts to make up the numbers. The task of holding back the cavalry charge in this plain terrain was undoubtedly a suicidal task, and it was only a matter of giving the friendly troops as much time as possible to retreat.

The unit, which was in reserve, did not participate in last night's build-up and narrowly escaped the frantic strafing of the big lawnmower. However, their character seems to have been exhausted last night, and now they have to face the high-speed onslaught of two thousand horses, and the cavalry on the horses can be wiped out without even using their sabers in their hands.

The footbath chicken soldiers who blocked the cavalry shot in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, and in this light, which could only see the general outline of the object, they could not even see the crosshairs, and only Amaterasu knew what this kind of shooting could hit.

In fact, the foot basin chicken soldiers really didn't hit anything, and the riders who rushed over were all human spirits, and they lowered their riding posture early, some of them were lying on the back of the horse, and some even played a difficult movement The foot hook was hung on the horse's back, and the body was hugged on the side of the horse, so as to reduce the bullet area as much as possible.

It was only when the charging cavalry and the footbath chicken troops were about to make contact that the riders returned to their horses and showed their sabers. With the speed of the horse's charge, a saber slashed through the body of the Japanese soldier. The whole horse team poured like a tide through the hastily constructed blocking position of the foot basin chicken reserve, and the Japanese infantry could not hold out for long under the condition that the time and place were in an absolute disadvantage, and basically the horse team rushed over, and they were all hung up.

Just as Zhang Zuolin commanded the cavalry as a whole team, preparing to pursue the retreating Japanese army in the distance, three bright green pillars of light crossed the sky, which were signal flares fired from the Dashiqiao stronghold. Zhang Zuolin knew that it was a signal for them to withdraw to the Dashiqiao stronghold, and that was the signal that Zou Heming had agreed with him before he set off.

Zhang Zuolin unwillingly looked at the panicked footbasin chickens in the distance, and motioned to the cavalry to go to the Dashiqiao stronghold as a team, and his long-distance journey to attack the Savior was over.
