The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2162 Join forces

The Japanese soldiers rode past on horseback, and suddenly gunshots rang out on both wings of the Japanese army.

The gunshots were not particularly intense, just like the volleys of bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in an ambush.

In the first round of shooting, more than half of the nearly 20 Japanese horses that were galloping fell down.

Of the remaining three Japanese soldiers, two were desperately urging their horses to run forward.

But no matter how fast they ran, they could not outrun the bullets. In the following gunfire, no one knew how many times the man and the horse were shot. They simply stumbled to the ground and drifted, and were never able to get up again.

The last Japanese cavalry horse ran faster because it was frightened by a shot, and the rider fell off the horse.

The Japanese soldier rolled on the ground several times, then got up and ran forward desperately.

At this time, someone from the Eighth Route Army cavalry who had taken over the position shouted, "Catch him alive!"

But he was too far away from the shooter, so how could the soldiers who were attacking the Japanese army from both sides hear him?

A few more gunshots were heard, and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground after being shot.

When Qian Chuan'er and his men returned to the woods and rode over on their horses, the Eighth Route Army squad had already joined up with Liu Keqiang and his men.

He saw an Eighth Route Army soldier had already jumped off his horse and said with a hint of regret: "What a pity, we only caught one wounded soldier."

Isn't it? Among these Japanese cavalrymen, there was still one alive, and he was still screaming and struggling desperately, and an Eighth Route Army soldier was trying to bandage his wound with rags.

Just from this one detail, we can see that there is a difference between the Eighth Route Army and the former Northeast Army that had just joined the Eighth Route Army.

"Ah!" The Eighth Route Army soldier who was trying to bandage the wound of the Japanese soldier suddenly screamed. It turned out that the Japanese soldier took advantage of his unpreparedness and bit his hand.

Wu Ziqi, who was closest to the wounded Japanese soldier, raised his foot and kicked the wounded Japanese soldier hard in the thigh.

The wounded Japanese soldier uttered an inhuman scream, and his mouth, which was originally used for biting, opened involuntarily, and the Eighth Route Army soldier who was bandaging him then pulled his hand out.

Looking at the hand again, it was already bleeding from being bitten, and the finger bones could be seen. The Japanese bite was really vicious!

"Hold him down and tie him up!" Qian Chuan'er said, and several soldiers from Shang Zhen's camp rushed forward and pressed the wounded Japanese soldier to the ground.

Of course, the thing that could tie up the Japanese soldiers was the leggings. After a while, the Japanese soldier was tied up like a "big dumpling" by the leggings.

"If you want him to stay alive, bandage him now!" Liu Keqiang said.

"Who is in charge here? I am Fang Zheng, the platoon leader of the Cavalry Regiment of the Lunan Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army!" At this time, the Eighth Route Army soldier who regretted having only captured one wounded soldier introduced himself.

"This is our company commander Liu Keqiang!" Qian Chuaner reacted quickly and pushed Liu Keqiang out.

At this point, the two sides have gotten to know each other.

"Are you really the Eighth Route Army? Why are you here?" Liu Keqiang was very curious, and he asked the same question as Shang Zhenying and others.

"You have called back all the large Japanese troops that were sweeping the area, and our Eighth Route Army hasn't come to help. Do you think you can handle it all on your own? Our entire cavalry regiment is now rushing this way. We are here to inform you first!" Fang Zheng smiled.

"Do you know that we have joined the Eighth Route Army?" Qian Chuan'er asked curiously. "How could we not know? Our entire Lunan Military Division is proud of you for joining us!" Fang Zheng answered straightforwardly.

His straightforward answer made everyone in the Shang Zhen camp present feel proud!

This kind of pride is different from the one when Secretary He praised them as a heroic army.

After all, Secretary He is a leader, but Fang Zheng and other Eighth Route Army soldiers are obviously fighting soldiers. Being praised and commended by the Eighth Route Army soldiers who are also fighting on the front line of the War of Resistance is a kind of recognition of him, a kind of sympathy that "I am not alone and there are always fellow travelers"!

"That's great! We are not on our own this time. We finally have friendly forces." Wu Ziqi said sincerely beside him.

"We, the Eighth Route Army, are not called friendly forces, we are called brother forces!" Fang Zheng corrected with a smile.

If Fang Zheng's praise and recognition of them just now made Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuan'er feel ambitious, then what Fang Zheng said now about the "brother troops" made the people in Shang Zhenying feel extremely warm.

While they were talking, soldiers rushed over from behind them, in the direction where Shang Zhenying was hiding. It was a squad led by Chu Tian.

In the previous battle, Qian Chuaner and his men were far away and did not see clearly.

However, they could see Chu Tian, ​​who was hiding in the bushes at the time, very clearly.

At that time, Fang Zheng was leading a dozen cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army. Seeing that there were short trees and bushes blocking the road ahead, it was too late for them to change direction, so they simply stopped and turned their horses around.

One by one, they drew their sabers on their horses, ready to engage in a cavalry battle with the 20 or so Japanese cavalrymen who were chasing them!

This is a war involving the entire nation. The anti-Japanese battlefield is huge. Even Chu Tian and other veterans have never seen a fight between cavalrymen!

However, they confirmed that it was the Japanese army that was chasing them from behind, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers, seeing that there was no way forward, were ready to turn around and meet the enemy.

So how could they watch their own people and the Japanese devils coming at them with swords and not help?

So when the Japanese cavalry were riding their horses and charging forward, and the Eighth Route Army cavalry were also about to spur their horses to meet the attack, their guns hiding in the bushes fired first!

After several of the Japanese soldiers' horses were knocked down, they realized that the situation was not right and naturally did not dare to rush forward, so they turned their horses around and ran back.

But who would have thought that he would run into the ambush set up by Qian Chuan'er and Liu Keqiang's two gangs, and ended up losing everything!

But after Chu Tian came over, before he had a chance to say a few words to Qian Chuan'er and Fang Zheng, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance. When everyone looked again, they saw that this time it was a cavalryman of the Eighth Route Army riding towards them from a distance.

When they got closer, the Eighth Route Army soldier did not dismount and reported to Fang Zheng: "Platoon Leader Fang, we have spotted a small group of Japanese cavalry over there. The company commander wants you to go over and reinforce them!"

The Japanese army used small forces to search the mountains and plains for Shang Zhen’s camp. How could the Eighth Route Army not know about this?

So this time the cavalry regiment was sent over. The fact that the square formation had a small number of cavalrymen was a special case. Most of the time, the Eighth Route Army had more cavalrymen.

What they wanted to do was to use their superior forces to try to annihilate several Japanese cavalry groups as quickly as possible.

In fact, this is still a replica of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare.

If I kill 10 or 8 Japanese devils in one battle, the Japanese army may not feel bad. But if there are more such battles, the morale of the Japanese army will be disrupted.

Many times, the Japanese army's mopping-up operations were smashed to pieces by the Eighth Route Army and ended in a hasty manner.

"Take us with you!" Liu Keqiang shouted when he saw Fang Zheng and the others were about to leave.

Now Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuaner and others also have war horses.

Although they are not regular cavalry, their horse riding skills are definitely far inferior to those of regular cavalry. They can only run on horses without being thrown off.

However, Liu Keqiang felt that these people would always come in handy!
