readx; Chapter 388: Our Cavalry!

"Smack!" Edward Livingston waved the whip in his hand, accompanied by a loud whipping sound, the speed of the painful war horse was a little faster, but the anxious Edward Livingston still felt that it was too slow!

Since half an hour ago, when a loud bang shook the heavens and the earth from the direction of Comnit City, there had been no news from there, not even the slightest sound of gunfire. The strange situation of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info made the American ** team behind the side of Erie City immediately confused.

In order to find out what really happened in the small town of Comnit, and the news of the First Cavalry Army. Edward Livingston and his 4th Duli Cavalry Division were the first to explore the path.

It was now past six o'clock in the morning, nearly seven o'clock, and although the sun was still not visible, the sky was already bright, and sitting on horseback, Edward Livingston could clearly see the town of Coniot in the distance in the morning light, and the fortifications of the tunnels, which were faintly visible.

"Division commander, the reconnaissance force reports that the squadron has set up a defensive position on the periphery of Coniot, and there are about two thousand people!"

"Have you found the 1st Cavalry Corps?" Edward Livingston was not too concerned about the 2,000 squadrons stationed in Coniot, he wanted to know most about where the 50,000 cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Corps, the most elite cavalry unit of the U.S. Army, had gone.

Hearing his words, the herald's face suddenly turned pale, and there was a clearly visible panic in his eyes!

Seeing his appearance, Edward Livingston's heart couldn't help but feel a strong sense of unease, "What happened to the First Cavalry Army?"

"Division commander, you still see it yourself, and the herald handed over the telescope in his hand!"

Although he didn't know what he was looking at, Edward grabbed the telescope handed by the herald next to him and looked ahead. At this time, the other senior generals of the Duli Fourth Cavalry Division who were following him also grabbed the binoculars they were carrying.

The red sè, the bright red sè, the red sè that can barely be seen at a glance, appeared in the field of vision of the people's monoculars, and in the field of vision of the military high-powered monoculars, they could also clearly see the corpses of war horses and soldiers frozen in the blood-red sè ice!

A few hours ago, under the urging of hundreds of tons of TNT explosives, the hard lake ice was more powerful than bullets within a range of 30 meters around, and under the violent explosion, it almost tore apart the bodies of the surrounding American soldiers and war horses, and the remaining lucky ones quickly fell into the lake water at a low temperature of nearly 20 degrees below zero, without rescue, they could not hold out for a few minutes, and there were blows from the surrounding Huo family army, so none of the nearly 50,000 people of the US First Cavalry Army escaped.

Looking at the scarlet lake with severed limbs and stumps in the distance, almost all the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Cavalry Division of the United States who saw this tragic scene were stunned, although they had seen the corpses all over the field on the battlefield outside Yili before, and the misery of the flesh and blood covering the earth, but the Huo Jiajun and the United States would recover the corpses of their own soldiers after the war, and in any case, they could not catch up with the 50,000 soldiers at this moment, and the corpses of 100,000 war horses were here, densely piled up with the scene of a lake of more than ten kilometers.

"First Cavalry!" said Edward Livingston, with a dull expression and a trembling tone. By this time, all the American soldiers who had seen this scene understood that the First Cavalry Corps, which had just been separated from them for less than six hours, had already sunk in the sand on Lake Erie outside the small town of Coniot.

Slowly, the 15,000 cavalry of the Duli Fourth Cavalry Division, which was originally galloping on horseback, slowly stopped. Under the bright sky light, the scarlet sémound-like lake in the distance gave them too much shock, and the more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers and the small city of Connyot, which were not originally taken to their hearts, became more powerful than ever in their eyes.

"Immediately order the troops to stop their advance and build fortifications on the spot. In addition, send out all our scout cavalry, and we must not let go of any disturbance within a hundred kilometers of Coniot City!" After a pause, Edward Lewinston took a heavy look at the scarlet lake in the distance, took a deep breath, and slowly continued: "Send a report to General John Adams that the First Cavalry Corps has been killed!"

――――――――――

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Zhang Zijing asked with some confusion: "Lao Li, what's the matter? The Americans seem to be digging trenches?"

After hearing his words, after taking one last look at the American cavalry who had set up camp and mounted in all directions, but there was no sign of attack, Li Baohua put down the binoculars in his hand and said with a relaxed smile on his face: "Hehe, they were frightened by our big money at night!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zijing was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, smiled wryly and patted his head, just now he was thinking about how to deal with the attack of the American cavalry, but he forgot about it.

"Now the Americans still don't know what we are doing, so they don't dare to attack rashly, but as long as they scout, our situation won't be long over, and I believe that in a few hours at most, they should attack!" Li Baohua said.

"By the way, has the 2nd Cavalry Division been contacted?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zijing couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Maybe they are on their way here, and the radio is not turned on, so they still can't be contacted!"

After listening to his words, Li Baohua nodded silently, the straight-line distance from Indianapolis to Coniot City, where the Second Cavalry Division of the Huo Family Army was stationed, was more than three hundred kilometers, and there was no railway, and the terrain was mostly hilly and mountainous, and the road was in poor condition.

Looking at the surrounding people holding guns, their expressions were solemn, with jing rings in their eyes, staring at the enemy's own soldiers in the distance, Li Baohua's face flashed with a trace of firmness, "Lao Zhang, if, what I said is that if we can't hold it in the end after the war starts! You must take the soldiers to break out and keep the fire for the reconstruction of the 13th River Fleet!"

"Hehe, Lao Li, we have been together for five or six years, you should know me, I can't do something like this to escape, so you still find someone else!" Zhang Zijing said with a smile.

"Commander, don't look at me, I won't do this kind of thing!"

"Commander, I won't leave, my old stone swears to live and die with the old brothers of the fleet!"

"Yes, anyway, we have already wiped out tens of thousands of American cavalry before, and we have already earned enough money! It is worth dying this time!" said the other senior officers of the other 13th River Fleet around them.

After hearing these words, looking at the smile and rejection of everyone around him, Li Baohua's heart was hot, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a trace of crystal, but he was soon forced to go back.

"Well, since his family doesn't want to leave, then we won't leave, and then we will have a good fight with the Yankee cavalry under this Coniot City!

"Live and die together!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Zijing, who had been observing the movements of the American cavalry in the distance through the telescope, suddenly said: "Lao Li, something is wrong, the actions of the Americans are a little wrong?"

Hearing this, Li Baohua immediately put down the map in his hand, grabbed the telescope hanging under his neck, looked into the distance through the observation window on the bunker, and saw that the American cavalry who was originally digging the bunker had all dropped the sapper shovels in their hands, and then picked up the rifle beside him, rode his own war horse, and began to line up under the shouts of the officers directly under him, while the heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery attached to the cavalry were dragged out, the shells were plugged into fuses, and the machine guns were hung with chains, looking nervous before the war!

"Could it be that they have already figured out our reality and are ready to start attacking?" Li Baohua thought to himself. However, to his surprise, the lined American cavalry did not attack, but pushed back behind the machine guns and artillery en masse. No matter how you look at it, it's a position that is only put on the defensive side!

"What's wrong with the Americans?" Zhang Zijing asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Li Baohua shook his head suspiciously, "I don't know either! However, our mission is to be the first in Coniot City, to buy time for the arrival of the follow-up troops, as long as the Americans do not take the initiative to attack, we don't have to care too much about ......!" Before he finished speaking, Li Baohua frowned and stopped, because he clearly felt a slight but continuous vibration coming from under his feet! Faintly, he even heard a trace of the neighing of horses, coming from the rear of the position in the distance.

After Li Baohua and Zhang Zijing glanced at each other, they immediately turned around and walked out of the command headquarters, climbed out of the tunnel, stood on the bunker made of high sacks, held high the telescope, and looked into the distance.

"Five-Star Golden Dragon Banner!Second Cavalry Division!They're finally here!" Li Baohua said excitedly, with a hint of trembling in his tone.

Looking at the vigorous cavalry galloping towards the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder, all the officers and men of the 13th River Fleet couldn't help but climb out of the tunnel and let out a heaven-shattering cheer. rs
