The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2168 Returning Carnage

Qian Chuaner said that everyone should gather together, so can't they really gather together?

Zhao Zilong's cavalry company, together with Shang Zhen's battalion, had about twenty horsemen on horseback, and they were marching southward across the fields.

The Japanese and puppet troops naturally gathered together, and the number of people kept increasing. It was unknown how many infantry there were, but there were more than a hundred cavalrymen, following far behind.

"What are the Japs doing? Why don't they dare to chase us?" asked Hu Jiuchen from Shang Zhenying's camp in the team.

"You're scared of being beaten, so you're trying to gather more people," Wang Xiaodan replied.

The two people had a simple conversation and fell silent after they finished speaking, but it attracted admiring glances from the surrounding Eighth Route Army soldiers.

At least after Zhao Zilong's Cavalry Battalion arrived here, Shang Zhen's Battalion became the main force to fight the Japanese. It is a bit exaggerated to say that the Japanese cavalry was scared, but it at least proves that the Japanese cavalry was afraid of Shang Zhen's Battalion!

What if in the past, the Japanese army didn't dare to chase the Chinese army when they were equal in strength? You're kidding!

"The Japs are like vicious dogs. Even after being hit by so many bricks they dare not move forward." As they rode forward, someone on the warhorse said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Shang Zhen’s camp looked over.

The man was in his early thirties and was said to be the instructor of Zhao Zilong's company, named "Shi Heng".

Shang Zhenying had long been familiar with the configuration of officers in the Eighth Route Army. The instructor was in charge of political work, but he was called a "horizontal commander", which was really impressive.

"Instructor Shi speaks more elegantly than the scholars in our camp. His words are down-to-earth and we can all understand him." Qian Chuaner praised with a smile.

When Qian Chuan'er said this, everyone in their camp laughed immediately. The scholar in their camp that Qian Chuan'er was referring to must be the somewhat pedantic Chen Hanwen.

Shi Heng also laughed, and at this time their cavalrymen rode up to a high ground.

But once they reached the high ground, no one laughed anymore, because there was a group of soldiers lying on the high ground, with machine guns set up and rifles ready. They were the main force of Shang Zhen’s camp, more than 130 people, and they were all here, and the leader was Chu Tian.

This was all planned after Shang Zhenying and Zhao Zilong discussed it, so it was not surprising that these people arrived on the high ground.

"The cavalry, move forward quickly and don't let the Japanese behind watch you. Wang You, your platoon will be responsible for watching the war horses. Everyone, dismount quickly." Zhao Zilong ordered.

All the horsemen really drove their horses forward and then dismounted. Except for one platoon that was watching the war horses, the rest of the people dispersed on the high ground with rifles in their hands.

"Everyone, keep your heads down, load your guns and follow my orders!" Chu Tian shouted.

So after the "clatter" sound of pulling the bolts, the entire high ground became silent, except for the occasional snorts from the war horses behind.

Zhao Zilong placed a carbine against the door, and he also showed his head to direct Chu Tian, ​​who was hiding behind a bush and had a disguise on his head.

He saw Qian Chuan'er lying there with a grin on his face, looking like he wanted to laugh but couldn't, so he asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"

"I just laughed at the Japanese because they were scared by our fighting. I thought we would be fine if we stayed away before their main force arrived, but this time we are in trouble!" Qian Chuan'er said in a low voice.

Zhao Zilong nodded and stopped asking.

He now found that he and these Northeastern soldiers in Shang Zhen's camp had similar temperaments. Because they fought in an unconventional way, it was a bit far-fetched to say that they were imaginative, but they were indeed very smart when fighting against the enemy!

After waiting for a while, the officers and soldiers who were ambushing on the high ground heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front.

Although these cavalrymen were not galloping in front just now, the horses were trotting after all, and the Japanese cavalry did not want to lose them, so they also ran at the same speed. Although the sound of horse hooves was not loud, after all, the Japanese cavalry had more than one horse!

"Two hundred meters!" Chu Tian, ​​who had been observing the enemy situation, spoke at this time.

Except for him, no one else showed up, so he reported the distance between the Japanese cavalry and them to prepare them mentally.

“If I say start fighting, everyone starts fighting!

We must pay close attention to see whether the remaining Japanese soldiers rush forward or run back after we fire our guns.

If they charge forward, we will continue to beat them. If they run away, we will also retreat!" Chu Tian raised his voice again.

When the combatants heard what Chu Tian said, they all understood what was going on and were ready to start shooting.

The current comparison of enemy and our forces is that the Japanese army has more than one hundred cavalrymen, and above them, together with the dismounted combatants of Zhao Zilong's company, there are a total of more than two hundred people.

They couldn't possibly fight the Japanese cavalry at a very close distance, because if they did that, the Japanese cavalry would speed up their horses and rush up to the heights, and they would suffer casualties.

They also couldn't attack the Japanese army when they were far away from them, as the casualty rate would not be guaranteed.

Sure enough, after just a moment, Chu Tian shouted loudly: "Fight!"

Then, with his order, the two hundred or so Chinese officers and soldiers who were lined up in a line on the high ground suddenly appeared, and their rifles and light machine guns were all pointed at the Japanese cavalry who were only one hundred and fifty or sixty meters away from them!

This situation startled the Japanese troops that were following them, and because the Chinese officers and soldiers were hiding on high ground, they had to crawl forward to have a complete view, which gave the Japanese troops passing by below some time to react.

A Japanese officer shouted and pointed his saber towards the high ground.

However, the Chinese officers and soldiers only had so much time to react to the Japanese army.

At the moment when the Japanese army just started to urge their horses, the sound of gunfire on the high ground rang out densely. The "bang bang bang" short bursts of light machine gun fire and the "bang bang" and "bang" of rifle fire mixed into a ball. The Japanese soldiers fell off their horses like dumplings!

The most correct choice was for the Japanese commander to order his troops to charge forward when they suddenly encountered an ambush.

However, they did not expect that there were more than 200 Chinese officers and soldiers ambushed on this inconspicuous high ground. After only the first wave of shooting, the Japanese cavalry was thrown to the ground and became a mess!

Some of the Japanese cavalrymen in the front were shot, but the Japanese cavalrymen behind them had already charged forward.

However, as the Japanese cavalry charged forward, they noticed that their companions in front, on the left, and on the right kept falling off their horses or tumbling to the ground with their horses. They immediately realized that they had fallen into an ambush. Even their commander, who had just shouted at them to attack, was knocked off his horse.

Why charge? The surviving Japanese cavalry turned their horses to run to the flanks and then rushed into the fields!

The Eighth Route Army's Shang Zhenying fired a few more shots at the Japanese soldiers, and then Chu Tian ordered a quick retreat. Zhao Zilong looked at the scene of people and horses falling in front of him, and couldn't help but say with heartache: "What a pity for so many spoils of war!"

Isn’t that a lot of spoils? Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, the Japanese cavalry that had caught up with them had already been defeated by their “reverse attack”.

If they just want to turn those guns and ammunition into trophies, they still have to use all their strength. You know, some Japanese soldiers have just fallen off their horses. If they dare to rush up now, the remaining Japanese soldiers will inevitably get entangled with them.

However, they could not afford to fight because the enemy was strong and they were weak. Japanese infantry had already appeared in the distance.
