I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 494 This comrade should pay attention to discipline

An instructor from the cavalry regiment next to them spoke to translator Xia.

"Comrade, you must pay attention to discipline and not insult the rebels at will. You will be confined after the war."

Of course, the Gansu Army would not confine its soldiers for such a thing.

But for the Eighth Route Army, this was a big mistake.

If he doesn't remind them now, he will suffer when the flag is changed later.

Ma Laosan curled his lips at Translator Xia and said, "Listen to what the Eighth Route Army comrades say about you."

We are an uprising force, but you are not. How dare you say that you are not an undercover agent of the Eighth Route Army?

After a successful test firing, the mortars of the Gannan Cavalry Regiment began to fire shells continuously at the Japanese soldiers lying on the roadbed.

The cavalry that stayed in Gannan in recent years have been able to adapt to modern warfare.

They sent back battle case analysis through Huo Jiaqiang.

Constantly honing in on tactics that are suitable for one's own cavalry.

Using light artillery, heavy machine guns, and super mobility, they turned themselves into an extremely powerful force.

While other troops carried their ammunition on their shoulders, their ammunition was carried on horses, so they naturally carried more ammunition than infantry.

It was almost twenty minutes when we bombarded the Huting stronghold just now.

Now the Japanese are bombarding the roadbed and their artillery shells are firing as if they are free.

Captain Sato was hit in the back by a shell during the second round of shelling.

Several of Captain Sato's guards wanted to carry him on their backs and retreat.

He was blown up by a cannonball and fell heavily into the trench behind him.

Captain Sato, who was half dead, fell into a trench more than ten feet deep and was hit by his guards.

The shrapnel exposed on his back was deeply embedded in his body.

The piercing pain made Sato wake up for a second before he died.

His last thought was: Fortunately, he landed on his face first.

Even if I go to hell, those soldiers I have oppressed will not recognize me.

With Sato's death, the Japanese soldiers on the roadbed finally couldn't hold on.

Led by the squadron leader, they began to flee towards Taiyuan along the suspension bridge.

Those Japanese soldiers who fell into the trenches were in a miserable state.

They were too short, and the trench, more than three meters deep, completely blocked their retreat.

Even though they built a human ladder, they couldn't even reach the top of the trench.

With a height of less than 1.5 meters, they hate the genes of their own body.

They shouted, asking the Japanese soldiers passing through the suspension bridge to pull them up.

But the Japanese soldiers were only concerned with escaping and would not pay any attention to their cries for help.

Without even looking down, he fled eastward across the suspension bridge.

With the launch of a red flare, the south gate of the Huting stronghold was opened.

The first to run away were the Imperial Army under Battalion Commander Zhang.

They were familiar with the facilities in the stronghold, so they rushed out first and lowered the drawbridge.

After the three suspension bridges were lowered, Captain Li led his cavalry battalion to attack.

They made a circle and headed straight for the Japanese soldiers who were fleeing towards Taiyuan and killed them.

The commander of the cavalry battalion was not so lucky.

They had just opened the gate of the stronghold and had not yet left the stronghold when something unexpected happened.

The deceased Sato was a very evil person. He had people place explosives on the suspension bridge a long time ago.

The original plan was that if the Eighth Route Army occupied the stronghold and wanted to pursue them, the explosives would be detonated.

Not only can the Eighth Route Army's cavalry be killed on the suspension bridge.

It can also turn the Eighth Route Army who temporarily pass through the suspension bridge into sitting targets between several trenches.

But now Sato is dead, and all the Japanese troops are fleeing.

The wounded Japanese soldiers who stayed behind to serve as suicide squads and prepare to detonate explosives did not want to die here in vain.

Without waiting for the Eighth Route Army to rush out, he directly pressed the detonator and blew up the three suspension bridges.

Then he stood up and limped off to chase after those Japanese deserters.

This scene made the battalion commander so angry that he rushed out of the stronghold on horseback.

Standing in front of the trench, he cursed at the fleeing Japanese soldiers.

His guards quickly caught up with him and said, "Captain, please stop cursing. Commander Sun has already led the cavalry to go around the south gate to hunt down the Japanese."

The battalion commander stopped cursing and quickly turned his horse around to chase his main force.

I thought to myself that my Commander Sun was too cunning. He didn't even ask me to lead the team when he was hunting down the Japanese.

Sun Desheng: I don't have time to wait for you. There are less than 400 Japanese devils left.

How dare I wait for you? This time is enough for Captain Li of the Second Battalion to kill two or three people back and forth.

By then I can kill a few more Japanese devils. It’s not easy to get out of Gannan.

You can't let me go back empty-handed, or Hao Dadan and the others will laugh at me to death.

As the Japanese soldiers were running, they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them and secretly groaned in their hearts.

They had never expected that the ones attacking them today were actually the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

They all have two legs, how can they outrun those with four legs?

The land here was flat and there was no cover. They couldn't rely on the terrain to block the cavalry.

You have to know that on flat ground, if the infantry are rushed by cavalry, they can only wait for death.

They secretly cursed Captain Sato in their hearts, calling him a stupid man.

You don't even know who your opponent is, and you dare to lie here and wait for death?

If Sato had been more decisive, he would have directly blown up the suspension bridge at the west gate.

Even if the Eighth Route Army had cavalry units, they would not be able to break into the Huting stronghold.

Even if you don't blow up the suspension bridge, won't you, Sato, take your men and run away?

Even if the Eighth Route Army comes out now, they can't even see the Imperial Army. Do you think they will continue chasing?

Isn't it a good idea to empty the armory in the Huting stronghold?

Sun Desheng: It is said that you should not chase a desperate enemy. I most likely will not chase you.

Alas, don’t think about anything now, the Eighth Route Army’s sabers are already catching up.

The Japanese squadron leader has already stopped. Since they can't run away anyway, they might as well fight the Eighth Route Army.

He shouted, "Warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, we can no longer escape.

Let us die together with the enemy, let us..."

It was so embarrassing. The Japanese squadron leader suddenly realized that no one stopped to fight alongside him.

Other Japanese soldiers: I don’t know whether we can escape or not, as long as we can outrun you, that’s enough.

Maybe those cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army will kill you and then retreat...

This Japanese squadron leader was almost driven crazy by his own subordinates.

How could you be so heartless and abandon me like this?

He drew his command knife and met the charging Eighth Route Army cavalry.

He wanted to use his blood to prove his bravery to the Eighth Route Army.

"Bagya Road!"

The Japanese squadron leader raised his command knife and slashed at Battalion Commander Li who was rushing towards him.

Captain Li was so handsome. When he led the second battalion to rush over, the commander of the first battalion was still cursing outside the stronghold.

When he returns victorious, he will have to thank the battalion commander properly.

This is giving the credit to yourself! Good brother, that's very nice!

Brother, I have no way to repay you, so I can only chop you off first as a token of my respect.

He no longer cared about the depressed battalion commander and directly led his cavalry team to chase the defeated Japanese soldiers.
