Chapter 288: Lao Tzu Eats Your Bait

The rain stopped, the sky was still cloudy, and at five o'clock in the morning, I couldn't even see the white of the fish belly in the sky.

Jiangnan was one of the most important agricultural areas in China at this time, and there were endless farmlands near the roads, and the wheat seedlings in these fields were green in winter.

Only at this moment some indistinct bulges appeared in the wheat field, although the light of flares passed by. But in the early hours of the morning, 500 meters away, it was impossible to tell what was in the flattened field by the light of the illuminated eggs.

"Boom ......"

On the muddy ground, a large group of devil cavalry ran by, and the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder could not be concealed at all. Hansen, who was lying on the ground, could feel the vibration of the ground as the horses ran by.

Showing his blue eyes from among the wheat seedlings, he looked at the cavalry on the road and thought quietly:

"Fortunately, I was not trampled to death by the Japanese horses, but how can the commander conclude that the Japanese will not get off the road?"

Of course, the Japanese cavalry will not get off the road, and now due to the attention of the Japanese military department to Zhang Sixing, the preferences of the Four Elements Demon King have gradually been grasped by the Japanese army.

The Four Elements Demon King likes to use mines, especially the "Cripple Maker" and bullet mines made of steel helmets, which are the most popular types of mines used by the Four Elements Demon King.

However, the Japanese army, which emphasized spirit and overemphasized technology, hated steel helmet mines, but it had not yet reached the level of careful study. It's like Eagle Sauce suffered a bullet mine during the Vietnam War, but never made this simple but effective mine.

Along the road, several horses and poncho-clad cavalry came back, which was the scout of the large army. The reason why I was careful was that the Four Elements Demon King liked to beat people and ambush people.

As soon as the Japanese officer who led the team raised his hand, the entire cavalry unit immediately stopped, and at first glance it was an elite cavalry that had been trained for a long time.

When the captain of the scout came to the horse, and without waiting for the cavalry officer who led the team to ask, he had already begun to report,

"Sir, we found the infantry of the Chinese people, about two companies of troops, and we also found the lights of vehicles on the road near Niushoushan."

Hearing the scout's report, the Japanese officer of the cavalry brigade asked,

"You're sure they don't have tanks, maybe it's a trap."

Hearing the question of the officer of the cavalry brigade, the scout captain replied that he was a serious man.

"Sir, we rode far past the infantry and chased forward for two kilometers, but we still didn't see their armored troops near Niushou Mountain. The other infantry may have spotted us and returned in a hurry to prepare for battle. ”

Looking up at the sky, he raised his wrist and looked at it again, and the adjutant with eyes immediately turned on the flashlight, and the officer of the cavalry brigade nodded slightly,

"At five fifty-four, the sky is about to dawn, probably because I am afraid of the attack of our air force at dawn, so the armored combat vehicle will return to the mountains first."

That's not a bad thing, but instead of armoured fighting vehicles, it was trucks carrying captured supplies. They even turned on the headlights, and in the mountain road around Niushou Mountain, the lights inevitably appeared on the hillside.

"Sir, then we ...... I heard that the Demon King of the Four Elements is a guy who likes to play tricks, could the soldiers of those two companies be just bait? ”

The adjutant who received the flashlight asked a little hesitantly, and this caution also attracted the attention of the cavalry commander, and he muttered to himself,

"Bait......"

Indeed, according to the descriptions of the surviving Japanese infantry at the heavy artillery bases, the enemy infantry was at least one battalion in strength. That's five to seven hundred, but now there are only about three hundred people in front, which is almost an obvious bait.

But now that their tanks and armored vehicles have penetrated into Niushou Mountain, can they have the confidence to use a battalion of infantry against cavalry, this is definitely not a choice that a normal commander would make.

But the other party is the notorious "Four Elements Demon King", and it is probably a normal choice for him to have an ingenious arrangement.

It doesn't matter, it's how to deal with the current problem now.

Touching the beard on his chin, the commander of the cavalry brigade thought of an idea in a blink of an eye,

"Pass my order, the first squadron pursues the two companies of the front of the infantry, and the rest are ready for battle and ready to support the front squadron in the battle at any time."

You use a bait to fish Lao Tzu's cavalry, then Lao Tzu first uses a squadron to eat your bait. You have to fight an ambush, and the cavalry troops in front of you will only suffer a slight loss, but Lao Tzu's brigade can annihilate all your infantry.

How could the infantry resist the cavalry attack on the plains outside the hills? Even if the loss is a little bigger, but to save face for the division commander and general who lost the battle at night, such a small loss is nothing.

As the commander of the Japanese cavalry brigade made a choice, a group of cavalry in the Japanese cavalry brigade quickly galloped out and then quickly galloped into the distance.

Waiting for the cavalry of that squadron to run out for two minutes, before they could disperse in battle formation, several sharp charging trumpets suddenly sounded in the wheat field not far away.

The Japanese cavalry commander, who had just watched with satisfaction as the cavalry squadron he had scattered out unfolded into battle formation, looked at the little lights in the wheat field in amazement.

Looking at the hundreds of lights, which made the cavalry's horses make a slightly panicked sound, he muttered in his heart:

Bastard, worthy of the Four Elements Demon King, the ambush position was established five hundred meters away from the road. It was a wheat field with soft ground, and the speed of the war horses could not run. But how can such a small obstacle affect our cavalry brigade.

But on the surface, he "choked" and pulled out the cavalry and held it high in the air with his sword, and then ordered the trumpeters on the side,

"Blow the trumpet, don't let those ambushed Chinese infantry run away, they don't even have a fortification......"

With his order, the entire cavalry brigade galloped down the road in large numbers and rushed towards the infantry standing a few hundred meters away.

At the moment when they began to charge, the infantry in the wheat field opened fire.

"Woo Woo Woo ......"

In order to attract the Japanese cavalry deeper into the ambush site, Zhang Sixing asked the soldiers who were in ambush around him to only shoot a single shot.

First, the supply of 6.5 mm short ammunition was very difficult before reaching Kunming. In addition, he really did not want to scare the Japanese away, could not attract them to the tanks.

Listening to the sound of the Japanese cavalry's military trumpet, the Japanese cavalry rushing down the road was like a flood, covering the land in an instant. It's just that the mud on the ground makes the sound of their horses' hooves not sound like war drums, and it seems to be a little less powerful.

In addition, the HP90's sight is good, the simplest red dot sight, both eyes open at the same time to quickly aim and fire, this is absolutely beyond time and space of aiming technology.

With the sound of HP90's sneezing gunshots, the mud-splattered cavalry continued to fall from their horses. Zhang Sixing, who wanted some horses, told the soldiers to aim as much as possible.

Just as the Japanese cavalry was rapidly approaching, a series of headlights suddenly came on in front of them, which forced them to shield their dagged eyes with their sabers-holding arms.
