Perhaps because of the anticipation of the imminent appearance of the Japanese cavalry, the night was not too difficult, and the weather was almost July, and the night was exceptionally cool.

Kong Jie was well aware of the accuracy of the information he had, and said that it was the 28th, so this Japanese cavalry squadron would definitely appear on the 28th.

So after all the ambush deployment was ready, at night, Kong Jie ordered that after leaving a guard post, the other fighters rested on the spot.

"What is a Hundred Battles Veteran? That's a warrior who can sleep soundly under the fire, just a devil cavalry, look at your excitement and nervousness. ”

"Sleep in peace! Just leave the guard post to watch, this big night, tonight's night is relatively dim, even if the devil wants to come to the night attack, the war horse still has to see the road clearly, accidentally broke the horse's leg, the little devil also has to feel distressed. ”

Kong Jie explained, and after leaving the guard post, as the night deepened, the soldiers also became sleepy one by one, and fell asleep on their stomachs.

Before going to bed, the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, was even more tempting: "Before going to bed, eat some dry food and drink some water, but I told you in advance, don't eat too much." ”

"Why? Let me tell you, after the battle is over tomorrow, there will definitely be a war horse of the devil who was killed, and that is the best Oriental horse meat! ”

"The taste is amazing, if you don't leave some stomach out, you will regret it when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you."

A platoon commander couldn't help but ask, "Commander, have you ever eaten the meat of Toyo horses?" ”

Kong Jiele said: "I haven't eaten horse meat, and I haven't seen a horse run?" Look at that little devil's Oriental horse, a man with round fat and fat, lighting a bonfire, roasting the horse's legs, and a mouthful of oil can flow out when he bites it, can you tell me, can the smell be endless? ”

"Absolutely!"

The fighters responded in unison.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you, let's take time to rest! Don't hook up your cravings anymore, they can't sleep. ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Kong Jie was woken up by a ray of morning light, shaking his body, slightly chilling, after the temperature dropped at night in the northwest of Shanxi, even in summer, it was quite cold.

The sky was just white.

Pingxiang.

Saburo Fujiwara, the leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron, was ready to go.

A full set of military uniforms, a full set of equipment, high riding boots, leggings made of pure cowhide, goggles, gloves, a Taisho 14-year style saddle bridle, a water bladder hung on one side of the saddle, and a Type A 32-style cavalry sword hung on the other side.

On one side of the saddle bridge hung a saddlebag, which contained enough rations for Fujiwara Saburo to eat for several days, including canned food, biscuits, and some non-staple foods; On the other side hung a travel bag, which was forage for the war horses to eat at any time.

The son of a Japanese nobleman, the young Fujiwara Saburo held the reins of the horse, sat upright on horseback, and carried a four-four cavalry carbine on his back, with a three-edged spear spike folded under the gun, and according to the usual tradition of cavalry, a bullet box was hung on his chest for easy access in battle, and two forty-eight-petal grenades were probably in the pocket of his jacket.

For this combat mission, Fujiwara Saburo was very relaxed, and before leaving, he even groomed his beloved horse in a leisurely manner.

When the sky turned white, Saburo Fujiwara knew it was time to go.

"Drive-"

Fujiwara even used such a Chinese word, which he knew was a shout from the Chinese when they were driving horses.

But soon he felt self-righteous and unimposing, and switched to Japanese horsemanship.

The sound of horses' hooves galloped, and Fujiwara Saburo led the cavalry squadron and galloped quickly on the established mountain road.

Lok Ma Slope.

There was no need for Kong Jie to greet him, and as soon as the dawn was shining on the horizon, the soldiers woke up one by one, excited about the destruction of the Japanese cavalry, and even more eager for the delicious horse meat of the Oriental horse that was about to arrive.

Three kilometers away, the head of the assault reconnaissance team, Mu, was in charge of the first stop.

Wood is thin and athletic, and he likes to climb trees, especially the trunks of towering trees, because of his high field of vision and strong concealment, he can see a range of several kilometers at a glance, and with a telescope, it is even farther.

Quickly climbed up to the wood in the canopy, split some of the branches and leaves that obscured the view with a bayonet in advance, and then took the binoculars and stared at the direction of the road from which he came.

According to Mu's calculations, after the sky was numb and bright, another twenty minutes or so passed, and the Japanese cavalry team riding tall horses appeared in his telescope's field of vision.

At dawn, the sky brightened quickly.

More than 20 minutes is enough time for the heavens and the earth to reopen.

Wood immediately realized that the cavalry of the devil that the regiment commander had said was coming.

At this moment, the fast-moving cavalry of the devil was still separated from the wood by more than two miles.

After remembering the situation of the devil he had observed from the telescope, he hurriedly landed on the trunk of the tree, and then ran to a reserve high slope that had been selected a long time ago, took out the conspicuous military flag prepared in advance, and waved it towards the second station not far away.

Second site.

Another soldier of the reconnaissance team, his attention was always on the wood, and when he saw the military flag, he immediately received a communication, and also waved the military flag to the wood.

At a distance of five hundred meters, the information was transmitted in just a few breaths, and such a speed, no matter how fast the cavalry was, it was impossible to compare.

In this way, the second site continues to pass information to the third site.

The distance of three kilometers, of course, is also added to the distance of one kilometer between Mu and the devil when he detected the devil's cavalry at that time.

At a distance of four kilometers, in less than a minute, the news that the devil cavalry was galloping towards the falling horse slope reached Kong Jie's ears.

"Commander, the news from the wood, the devil's cavalry has indeed arrived, the strength of a squadron, and the other is not carrying heavy weapons, it is a light cavalry."

Kong Jie nodded, and everything was as he expected.

After a little speculation, although the speed of the devil's cavalry is not slow, but along the way, the road is indispensable to gravel and low slopes, and the speed of the devil's cavalry is affected, and it is good to be able to have thirty kilometers in an hour.

Then at a distance of four kilometers, it will take about ten minutes for the devil's cavalry to rush over.

Totally enough time.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie immediately ordered: "Herald, inform me, according to the original plan, let everyone prepare to fight." ”

"Yes!"

"Monk, I'll give you another task, you are responsible for the militia in Xinzhuang, after the sneak attack, no matter what the result is, immediately lead people to retreat, I'm worried that if you slow down a little, the devil's shells will smash over."

"Commander, what about your safety?"

Kong Jie shouted: "Less nonsense, hurry up." ”

"Yes!" The monk answered, turned his head and left.

"First battalion commander, second battalion commander."

"Here!"

"According to the original plan of troop deployment, with the trap as the boundary, five divisions of troops are deployed on the left side of the trapping pit, which is commanded by the commander of the first battalion, and three divisions of troops are deployed on the right side of the trapping pit, and the commander of the second battalion is responsible for commanding.

"Remember, the ambush force is placed at least fifty meters away from the flank, the battle has not broken out, no one is allowed to show my head, only a little guard force is left in the front, and wait until the devil's cavalry has completely entered the encirclement, and then launch a surprise attack."

"Yes!" Wang Leihu and Shen Quan commanded......
