Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1459, Initiative

No car. Only horses.

North of the Yangtze River, most of the officers traveled on war horses.

The Central Plains area is flat and vast, which is very suitable for cavalry to gallop freely.

If you don't know how to ride a horse, you definitely won't be able to travel far.

Only a very small number of very high-ranking officers own cars.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

A group of people galloped on their horses. Fifteen people in total.

Zhang Yunqing was accompanied by twelve cavalry guards. A cavalry company attached to the brigade headquarters.

The original Northwest Army and the 29th Army had a lot of cavalry. After large and small wars, cavalry is still an indispensable unit.

Most of the cavalry were veterans. Rich combat experience. Excellent fighting skills.

Infantry can make up the numbers. Absolutely not the cavalry.

If an incompetent cavalry meets the enemy face to face, after three months, the grass on the grave will be three feet high.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yunqing made a gesture.

Everyone immediately slowed down.

Zhang Yong:? ? ?

"What's the matter?"

"Be careful of Japanese cavalry."

"Um?"

Zhang Yong didn't react for a while.

The radar map showed that there were no red dots around. That means there are no Japanese invaders.

There are only scattered white spots. Some also have weapons. Probably bandits. It may also be local armed forces. Vigilante groups or something.

Where did the Japanese cavalry come from? Scare yourself.

Then reacted.

No one else has died!

Zhang Yunqing doesn’t have a radar map!

Of course, he is not as clear about the surrounding situation as Zhang Yong.

This is between Suxian and Mengcheng. Already considered the front line. Japanese cavalry infiltrated. That's not surprising at all.

In fact, throughout the Xuzhou Battle, both sides invested a lot of cavalry.

On the Japanese side, in addition to the cavalry attached to the division, there were at least three professional cavalry regiments. They were all drawn from the Kwantung Army.

On the national army side, there are actually a lot of cavalry. Both the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army have many cavalrymen.

There is also an established cavalry corps. For example, He Zhuguo's Second Cavalry Army.

There are also Ma Jiajun cavalry from the northwest. He is the mortal enemy of the Red Party. The one who has a blood feud with the Red Party.

The cavalry is responsible for reconnaissance, infiltration, harassment, assault, encirclement, pursuit...

There were no large-scale formation battles. But the sudden encounter and fight were extremely bloody.

The winner may have been decided in just a flash of lightning.

Many officers of the national army were assassinated by the Japanese cavalry. Even more messengers were assassinated.

The logistics warehouses and roads of the national army were also severely damaged by the Japanese cavalry. Bring various negative effects to the war.

Sneak attacks on headquarters at all levels occur from time to time. The casualties were heavy. Even the entire army was annihilated.

"Old Bai."

Zhang Yunqing waved his hand.

An old cavalryman with a weathered face rode forward.

About a hundred meters ahead. Stop. Then turn over and dismount. Lean over. Put your ears to the ground and listen.

This is the traditional method of detecting cavalry activity.

If there are cavalry nearby, the horses' hooves will cause the ground to shake violently.

The more violent the ground shaking, the greater the number of cavalry and the closer the distance. The more dangerous it is.

but…

The radar map is not displayed.

Explain that there are no Japanese cavalry within a radius of five kilometers.

suddenly…

Zhang Yong felt that he was already the pride of heaven.

This is the only one that no one can match.

At least, he can detect the danger immediately.

Within a radius of five kilometers, no danger can escape the radar map.

otherwise…

Maybe he was already dead.

Lao Bai listened for a long time and finally came back.

Shake his head. Said it was not found.

Only then did Zhang Yong discover that Lao Bai was mute. Can't speak.

There's something wrong with the other person's tongue. The band or the base of the tongue? Not completely disconnected. Unable to pronounce clearly.

Perhaps because he was unable to speak, his hearing was particularly sharp.

In fact, this kind of tongue adhesion can be solved with a minor surgery. The ability to speak will gradually return.

However, because the surgery is on the tongue, it is relatively sensitive and difficult to treat if it becomes infected. Therefore, the risk is very high.

In the years before antibiotics, this "internal" infection was the most difficult to treat.

Herbal medicines and the like have difficulty penetrating.

However, with cefixime, it's a piece of cake.

"Zhang Yunqing."

"exist."

"Give Lao Bai to me."

"deliver?"

"Ask him to follow me. I came to Xuzhou alone. I need a few people with me."

"I'll give them all to you."

"Alright."

Zhang Yong nodded.

I’m not used to not having hundreds or dozens of people around me!

That kind of feat of single-handedly piercing the enemy's army should be left to others.

He was still well-behaved and had enough people around him to prevent any accidents.

You can't fight alone, you can only rely on more people.

More people, more guns, more money...

Now there are 107 rocket launchers, and more cannons can be added...

Safety first.

"From now on, you will follow the Commissioner."

"yes."

The other cavalrymen answered loudly.

Only Lao Bai remained silent.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Yong said, "I'll change your weapons."

"What kind of weapon should I change?" Zhang Yunqing was confused.

"Of course it's a good thing." Zhang Yong secretly arranged the airdrop.

call!

puff!

Something is falling continuously in the distance.

The ground was visibly shaken by the impact. Lao Bai immediately became nervous.

"fine."

"fine."

Zhang Yong gestured lightly.

Riding his horse over. Saw three wooden boxes. The system is still as rough as ever.

An airdrop is a direct throw. None of them carry parachutes.

All the wooden boxes were cracked.

That's fine. No need to pry. It can be taken apart directly with bare hands.

Inside were Garand semi-automatic rifles and bullets.

Six per box. Eighteen branches in total.

It does seem a bit bulky for a cavalryman. But there is no need to pull the bolt!

Just pick it up and hit it. One dozen is eight bullets.

The firepower in a short period of time is almost unparalleled.

In fact, the Soviet SVT-38 semi-automatic rifle is lighter. The magazine also has a 10-round capacity.

However, those are Soviet weapons and will be questioned by the Soviets.

Among Su Yuan's weapons, there is only Mosin Nagant, not semi-automatic.

"This is…"

"Big eight grains."

Zhang Yong gave a simple explanation.

They are all veterans and picked up quickly. You will learn it as soon as you learn it.

Zhang Yunqing also asked for one himself. Adjutant Ruan Zhuoqun also asked for one.

There are three left, all given to Zhang Yunqing.

"You follow me."

Zhang Yong led the team and galloped forward. Buy time.

With the radar map to open the way, he was not afraid of a sneak attack by the Japanese cavalry.

"Ta-ta-ta..."

"Ta-ta-ta..."

In the darkness, speeding towards the front line of Mengcheng.

Suddenly, the radar map prompted that several red dots appeared in the southeast. There are weapons.

Check. It was found to be a Type 44 rifle.

Oops. I really encountered Japanese cavalry.

This late at night, it turned out that Japanese cavalry had penetrated in to cause trouble.

Slow down.

gesture at the same time.

"To the southeast, five kilometers away, there are seven Japanese cavalry."

"How do you know?"

Ruan Zhuoqun asked subconsciously. A look of confusion.

Five kilometers away, so far away, it was night again. How is it possible to find out? Isn’t that a fairy?

Lao Bai looked at Zhang Yong suspiciously. Doubtful. There is some expectation.

"I can smell the Japanese invaders." Zhang Yong explained calmly, "I can't see it. But I can smell it. My nose is very good."

"Kill them!" Zhang Yunqing was eager to try. No doubt whatsoever.

He knew Zhang Yong's ability.

When he was in Tianjin Wei, Zhang Yong killed everyone.

If Zhang Yong hadn't followed him, of course he wouldn't have dared to be so brave. But Zhang Yong is here! With Zhang Yong here, what can't you dare to do?

There is no discussion about killing it. They must be annihilated. No one can escape.

"good!"

Zhang Yong nodded.

Although seven Japanese cavalry is a bit small. But it can be considered delivered to your door.

He never fights with too few enemies.

It's best to have five or ten to defeat one enemy. Use more to defeat less, and you will be sure of success.

Now, there are fifteen people on our side, and there are only seven Japanese cavalry, which can be regarded as two to one. Coupled with a sneak attack, it should be able to kill him.

Just at this time, the Japanese cavalry came towards them. The direction is impartial.

Wow, this is really delivered to your door!

No need to move by yourself. The Japanese invaders are fully automatic. Just close your eyes and enjoy...

Hmm, wrong.

Just a quiet ambush will do.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

So he gestured for everyone to dismount. Lurking nearby.

"The Japanese cavalry is coming towards us."

"Adjutant Ruan, you are responsible for taking the war horse to the back."

Zhang Yong gave simple instructions.

This kind of battle between small groups of troops is simply familiar.

If the combat experience of a large corps is 0, the experience of this kind of small team combat is almost 999...

Soon, the Japanese cavalry entered the ambush circle. I didn't notice anyone nearby at all.

In fact, the ambush was a bit far away, about two hundred meters away.

In the darkness, visibility was relatively low, and it was indeed difficult for the Japanese cavalry to detect him lying on the ground two hundred meters away.

"Attention!"

Zhang Yong held a signal gun in his left hand.

The flare gun actually contains flares.

Especially used for lighting. Let the Japanese cavalry be exposed. Exposed to shoot.

More than a dozen Garand semi-automatic fires were fired at the same time, and the firepower was still very brutal.

puff!

Flares take off.

bloom.

The wilderness was immediately illuminated.

"Baga..."

The Japanese cavalry were suddenly taken aback.

Oops!

There are enemies nearby!

Ambushed! Didn't even notice it!

Subconsciously, they wanted to disperse and run away separately. But it's too late.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of gunshots.

Dense bullets were fired at the Japanese cavalry.

In fact, the distance is relatively far, more than two hundred meters, and the probability of hitting is not high.

However, semi-automatic rifles fire quickly! Intensive firepower.

Moreover, beside Zhang Yong, there is an MG34 general-purpose machine gun. Comes with 50-round ammunition chain. Also connect the two bullet chains together.

"Chi chi chi..."

"Chi chi chi..."

General machine gun fire.

Specializes in fighting Japanese invaders and war horses.

The cavalry target is too small. Difficult to aim. But the war horse has a big goal!

To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first.

result…

All seven Japanese cavalry fell in one wave.

Hardly any sluggishness at all.

Zhang Yong:…

Huh? I don't seem to have finished shooting a single bullet chain.

However, the radar map showed that all seven red dots had disappeared. It means that all the Japanese invaders are dead.

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop shooting!"

Zhang Yong stood up. Gesture.

The gunfire gradually stopped.

"All the Japanese invaders are dead. Lao Bai, go up and check."

"Ouch!"

Lao Bai made a vague sound in his throat.

Clearly, he wanted to talk. But it's not clear. The movement is extremely fast. Run up immediately.

Others continued to stand guard with guns drawn. I am afraid that there are still Japanese invaders who are not completely dead.

As a result, Lao Bai quickly made a gesture.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

There was also a vague sound coming from the throat.

Looking at him, he looked like he had encountered a happy event that had never happened in a century.

Others gathered around him.

Sure enough, the Japanese invaders were all dead. The war horses were also killed.

But the weapons and equipment were intact.

The Type 44 rifles and sabers were all pulled out.

Zhang Yong glanced at it.

[Favorability 100+]

[Favorability 100+]

oh? Did the favorability level increase so quickly?

Didn't it mean that seven Japanese cavalry were eliminated? It actually broke 100?

It seems that the previous battle was indeed very unsatisfactory. So much so that the elimination of seven Japanese cavalry was worthy of such joy.

Whatever. It's a good thing that the favorability score exceeds 100. It means that I have more than a dozen die-hard fans.

As long as the favorability is above 50, it is safe.

A favorability score of 100 or above almost means that the other party will protect Zhang Yong with his own life.

Of course, such a situation will not occur.

Zhang Yong is always the only one who can sneak attack the enemy. There is no possibility of being attacked by the enemy.

"Old Bai."

"Ouch!"

"Open your mouth!"

"Ouch!"

Zhang Yong passed by with a knife.

Forcibly cut off Lao Bai's tongue.

Very accurate.

Quickly and neatly.

The moment Lao Bai curled up his tongue.

That's all he has now.

"Well..."

Lao Bai was stunned.

Others were also shocked.

Then, Lao Bai's mouth was filled with blood.

Zhang Yong took out a bandage and tied Lao Bai's mouth. Then sprinkle with Yunnan Baiyao.

The action was extremely rough. It makes outsiders tremble with fear.

There is no way, this is a military doctor.

Military doctors' resuscitation is simple and crude. Just think about whether it can save lives.

Anyway, there is no doctor-patient dispute. Reach out and cut open the chest, take out the heart and press it directly. This is real CPR.

Three times, five times and two times is enough to complete the process. Time will do the rest.

In any case, it is impossible to get infected. Cephalosporin combined with amoxicillin, what is infection?

"Hoo **** ho..."

"Hoo **** ho..."

It was Lao Bai who was so painful that he kept gasping for air.

There are no anesthetics. Just cut the tongue open. How many people can endure it?

"Walk!"

Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Continue with the team.

Close to Mengcheng.

It's bright.

I found that the wilderness here was already deserted.

Affected by the war, the local people fled long ago. The fields were abandoned and there was no human habitation along the way.

Occasionally, large swarms of flies can be seen gathering in the distance. Don't dare to look more.

"A small group of Japanese invaders came in before and killed many innocent people." Zhang Yunqing said angrily.

"Yes, the place is too big. It's hard to guard against." Zhang Yong thought thoughtfully.

If I remember correctly, the Longhai Railway was also cut off by the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders have a large group. How many troops are there? They raided behind the national army and blew up an iron bridge on the Longhai Railway.

In fact, the iron bridge is not that long. Maybe a hundred or dozens of meters.

However, if it is broken, it is broken. The iron bridge was blown apart. The Longhai Railway was also cut off.

Trains from Lanzhou, Xi'an, and Luoyang can no longer reach Xuzhou directly.

It was such a small iron bridge that was bombed, which caused the logistical transportation of the Xuzhou battlefield to be almost cut off. The national army began to fight hard.

Can it be defended against?

Very difficult. Being beaten passively is always painful.

The battlefield in the Central Plains is so vast that both the national army and the Japanese invaders can only actively attack and cannot passively defend.

Otherwise, even if your troops are five times more powerful, it will not be enough even if you sprinkle them with pepper.

The Japanese invaders will definitely find your weak points.

The indestructible Vajra has a fatal barrier, not to mention such a vast battlefield?

This is the most basic strategy. It cannot be reversed by tactics.

You must take the initiative to attack. Forcing the Japanese invaders to deal with it passively. Only then can we take the initiative.

It’s a bit difficult…

but!

Must try!
