The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2256 When Infantry Meets Cavalry

To be honest, Shang Zhen had never fought such a battle before.

He and two squads of soldiers were surrounded on the mountain by Japanese cavalry. His company of new recruits hid in the woods not far away, and the Japanese battalion would be here soon. They finally got some food, but it was thrown away on the mountain.

So what should I do now?

Hold on? The Japanese troops who captured the town didn't go far. Once the gunfire was heard, they would quickly return, and then our few men would be surrounded on this hill.

Even if the Japanese army did not bring mortars during the long-distance raid, they would not be able to withstand the grenade launchers alone.

After all, the recruit company has limited actual combat experience. If they have no commander of their own and are left to their own devices, the losses will certainly be huge.

So, let's break out and reunite. As for how many Japanese cavalry are behind us, we'll just leave it to fate!

"Go down the mountain and break out!" Shang Zhen shouted.

"Ah?" Two people expressed surprise at the same time, one was Xu Defeng and the other was Niu Jingrui.

"Don't you want the food anymore?" Xu Defeng asked.

"What should we do with the Japanese cavalry?" Niu Jingrui asked.

"Go down the mountain and break out!" Shang Zhen repeated. He didn't have time to explain in detail to the two men.

So the people on the top of the mountain, led by Shang Zhen, ran towards the southern slope.

"Hurry up and tell Captain Shang that we have caught a horse!" Before they ran to the place where the grain was stored, Shang Zhen heard Ma Changgui's excited voice.

Xu Defeng was just about to say, "It's already this time, how can you be so happy just because you caught a horse?"

I think that when they were shooting at the Japanese cavalrymen coming from below, they shot down the Japanese soldiers above, and one of the horses crashed into the woods.

However, the same words heard by different people will lead to different ideas.

Shang Zhen was moved when he heard Ma Changgui's words and said, "Hurry up and throw two bags of food onto the horse! We have to break out!"

After Shang Zhen finished speaking, they heard the surprised voices of Ma Changgui and the others. It seemed that they also recognized it as Shang Zhen's voice. When Shang Zhen and the others passed through the dense trees, they saw Ma Changgui and the soldiers putting two bags of grain on the horse!

It is said that most of the soldiers in China today are of peasant origin. They may not be good at shooting and fighting, but they are good at doing work.

Instead, they tied the openings of the two bags of grain together with bandages, and several people carried them and placed them directly on the horses!

"Those who have box guns, use them, rush out, you are just waiting to die here!" Shang Zhen shouted.

After Shang Zhen shouted like this, Ma Changgui and his companions realized that their situation was already very bad. The twenty or so people ran out, but Ma Changgui did not forget to lead the horse.

Shang Zhen had just walked out of the woods when he saw Japanese cavalry appearing from the right side of the granary.

The Japanese cavalrymen did not expect that Chinese soldiers appeared just as they heard the gunshots and were rushing over there.

How far are they from Shang Zhen and the others now? Only about a hundred meters.

For the cavalry, is this 100 meters still a distance? The Japanese cavalry, which had already slowed down, urged their horses to gallop, and at the same time, some Japanese soldiers drew their sabers.

This was truly a battle of equal forces. To be honest, Shang Zhen had never fought like this before. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would lead his infantry to fight against the Japanese cavalry.

And now all he relies on is the soldiers in his squad, each of whom has a twenty-shot box gun in his hand. As for the squad led by Lao Du and Ma Changgui, who were recruited here, they can only fight like they can!

At this moment, the sound of gunfire and horse hooves intertwined and collided with each other.

Shang Zhen is experienced and only fires short bursts.

Although the shooting was rapid, the horses behind came up again when the horses in front fell. Shang Zhen couldn't remember how many horses he had knocked down. When he had just emptied all the bullets in the magazine, the Japanese cavalry in front of him disappeared.

Shang Zhen hurriedly changed a magazine and turned around to look again, and saw that five or six of his soldiers had fallen down, and the Japanese cavalry also had five or six riders left and had already rushed over. Although it was just a glimpse, Shang Zhen saw that some soldiers had their heads rolled off, some had their arms half torn apart, and some were even rolling on the ground, having been hit or stepped on by the Japanese horses.

It has been a long time since there was such a bloody battle. Shang Zhen didn't care about anything else. The box gun in his hand fired again. After two short bursts of fire, two more Japanese soldiers fell off their horses.

"Hurry up, there is another group!" Shang Zhen shouted.

He couldn't take care of the wounded now. The Japanese cavalry was divided into two groups. They only defeated one group, but there was still one group. He didn't care about the Japanese cavalry that came later!

Shang Zhen and his men ran forward desperately. Although there was a whistling sound of wind in his ears, he still heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the granary. The second group of Japanese troops appeared, and they were chasing them from behind, circling the granary.

It is called a granary, but in fact it is just a few bungalows.

"You run first!" Shang Zhen ordered, and he resolutely turned into the granary.

The houses were burning fiercely, and Shang Zhen entered between the two houses. Although he was about ten meters away from the two houses, he still had a feeling of entering a hell of fire.

If you want to stay alive, why bother about so many things?

Shang Zhen fell directly to the ground, and when he put the wooden box of the box gun on his shoulder, the Japanese cavalry appeared from behind.

What the Japanese army saw were the Chinese soldiers running in front of them. They were riding as fast as the wind and naturally did not expect that Shang Zhen was hiding between the two burning houses on their flank.

Shang Zhen endured the scorching heat from the houses on both sides and did not shoot immediately.

In a moment, the dozen or so Japanese cavalrymen finally rushed to his front side. He saw the last Japanese soldier, and at this time, his gunshot rang out.

“Pah pah pah” “Pah pah pah” “Pah pah pah”.

In the continuous short bursts of fire, the Japanese soldiers running behind fell off their horses one after another

By the time the Japanese soldiers discovered the Chinese soldiers behind them, six of them had already been knocked off their horses by Shang Zhen.

At this time, Ma Changgui, Xu Defeng and Sancai, who were running in front, suddenly turned around and shot.

After all, the Japanese cavalry was still outnumbered, and although the horses were fast, they could not withstand the firepower network formed by their rapid-fire box cannons.

Several more Japanese cavalrymen fell off their horses, and the last three turned their horses and charged sideways.

"Company Commander!" Sancai shouted.

At this time, Shang Zhen had already crawled up from the ground and rushed out from between the two piles of fire.

He could smell his hair burning, and if he stayed there a moment longer, he knew his hair would catch fire!

Shang Zhen and his men continued to run forward, and at this time he saw some people rushing out of the woods. They were soldiers from their company.

Just when Ma Changgui shouted "Come and help", Shang Zhen hurriedly waved to the soldiers, asking them to go back into the woods.

Ma Changgui still didn't understand, but at this time, the soldiers who were running forward heard the faint sound of horse hooves coming from behind them again. It was the Japanese cavalry in the distance who rode over after hearing the gunshot.

One wave after another, this is the third wave, they really don't even have time to catch their breath!

When Shang Zhen gestured to the soldiers who had just come out of the woods, the soldiers saw it, but they looked surprised. They didn't understand what their company commander was gesturing to them.

Qian Feng thought about it and figured it out. He ordered the soldiers to retreat back to the woods quickly.

Their movements were really fast, but just when all the recruits retreated into the woods, the third group of Japanese cavalry appeared at the foot of the mountain where Shang Zhen and his men had been hiding before!
