Chapter 45 Occupied
On the wasteland behind the snow, a white cargo was speeding, and a stiff corpse hung on the window on the right side, shaking constantly with the vibration of the car body, like a legendary hanged ghost.
Behind were cavalry all over the mountains, with sabers reflecting the cold light of the night, and the sound of the guns was as dense as firecrackers on New Year's Eve, making the carriages splash, and from time to time, there would be explosions shining beside the car.
The Japanese cavalry were almost crazy. They were not thinking about anything else. They just wanted to take back the brigade commander's body, and then dragged the people in the car out of the five horses to dismember them. They were so angry that they didn't notice that they had been led to the west of Chifeng by Yang Feng and had a distance of more than ten kilometers from the main force.
They did not notice at all that in the darkness ahead, a cavalry of thousands of men was gathering.
Sun Dianying was not an excellent general, but he was also an old fox who had been on the battlefield for decades. In the Battle of Bozhou, the Whampoa Army, which had resisted Jiang Guangtou for three months, fought a battle example where everyone was dumbfounded.
So after receiving the news that Yang Feng led a Japanese cavalry to the west of the city, he immediately gathered all his subordinates' cavalry, and then sent infantry to replace Feng Zhanhai's cavalry, and combined the strength of the two armies to ambush the west of the city.
Although Yang Feng didn't know this, in his mentality of teasing the Japanese army, he slowly brought Japanese cavalry, trapped in people and horses into Sun Dianying's ambush circle like a dog.
The nearly five thousand lively cavalrymen rushed their war horses frantically when they saw the Japanese army, and rushed away like a black wave. The heavy horse hooves trampled on the frozen land and made a thunderous sound. The two open wings were like the sickle of the god of death, and they crashed into the middle of the Japanese army with an unstoppable momentum.
At this time, the Japanese army was already exhausted. The speed of dozens of kilometers was running wildly for tens of kilometers, both people and horses, and they had reached the limit of their physical strength. Now, facing these enemies who were five times more crowded, they had no resistance at all. Even if they were well-trained, it would be useless. The entire cavalry regiment collapsed like this.
Yang Feng no longer had any interest in caring about the battlefield. Under the faint moonlight after the snow, there were cavalry fighting everywhere. Sun Dianying and Feng Zhanhai's subordinates lacked cooperation. Few bandits trained with cavalry did not pay attention to formation. Their charge was chaotic and disorderly, and the result was that the well-trained Japanese army also broke into chaos. This was a real melee and chaotic battle.
"Brother Yang, brother came in time, right?" Sun Dianying said with a smile, his face full of pockmarks.
"Brother Sun, in this battle, no matter what you have done before, no one in China dares to say that you are wrong!" Yang Feng said with his thumb. He said this well. In the original history, Sun Dianying killed and injured Japanese soldiers in the Battle of Chifeng, but he still became an anti-Japanese hero. Everyone forgot that he had traitors of the past, let alone defeating a cavalry corps of the Japanese army.
"Oh, Brother Yang, let's say something heart-to-heart. Brother Sun, I can't help but not fight against Japan! I have dug up all the ancestral tombs of Puyi." Sun Dianying said.
"Come on, Brother Sun, I'll give you another gift!" Yang Feng smiled and pointed at Maoshu hanging on the car door.
"Major General?" Sun Dianying almost glared out his eyes.
"Or why do you think the Japanese cavalry chased me to death? I'll hang their brigade commander here!" Yang Fengzhen said with a smile.
"Brother Yang, you are so awesome. If you promote it in the newspaper, it will be really famous all over the world!" Sun Dianying said in shock.
"That's going to hurt me, Brother Sun, I am a businessman, I have business dealings with the Japanese, and I will continue to do this business in the future. Do you think if they know that I killed a major general, how can I do business with them in the future?" Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
"Brother Yang, do you mean?" Sun Dianying's face showed a hint of surprise.
"It's very simple. The 63rd Army restrained the main force of the Japanese army in the front. Commander Sun planned and sent elite cavalry to attack the Japanese command center at night, killed the enemy chief Mao Shun's apologize, and brought the pursued Japanese army into the ambush circle and defeated a Japanese cavalry corps in one fell swoop." Yang Feng read out the manuscript that had been drafted long ago.
"This, how can you be so embarrassed!" Sun Dianying said insincerely.
"What's so sorry about this? Am I the only one in this operation? Aren't they all from the 41st Army?" Yang Feng said, pointing to the eight commandos who went with him.
"Oh, Brother Yang, what do you mean by your brother?" Sun Dianying touched his head, looking embarrassed as if he was cheap and acted obedient.
"Okay, my brother, why are you doing so much? That's it."
Yang Feng must not stand the aura of this anti-Japanese hero. He doesn't want to be missed by the Japanese every day. It's just a matter of doing business, making good fortune with harmony and paying money from the Japanese's pockets safely.
The battle between the cavalry did not last long, but the result was extremely bloody, with five thousand versus one thousand, and one thousand exhausted Japanese troops. The end result was that the Sun Feng coalition still suffered more than one thousand casualties, and the Japanese army left behind four hundred corpses, and the rest fled back with reinforcements.
However, the battle this night had already made the Japanese army feel like they were injured. Since the Battle of Hara Road Crossing and Yang Feng's sneak attack, they had lost nearly two thousand and had a major general.
In the next few days, they became much more honest. Not only did they not launch a large-scale attack, but they began to strengthen their defense. After all, there was an abnormal existence of Yang Feng here. Who can guarantee that when the front line is in full swing, he will not attack the camp again.
However, this has no meaning to the Chifeng defenders, because in other directions, the Japanese army is still in a state of unstoppable power. In just a few days, most of the Rehe River has fallen.
The Northeast Army of each unit, whether it was Tang Yulin's subordinates or Zhang Xiaokuan's direct lineage, all collapsed at once. They only had small-scale resistances in Ye Baishou and Jianchang. On March 2, the Lingyuan defenders fled without fighting, the Japanese army occupied Lingyuan, and Chengde opened the door.
Just one day later, the most shameful scene of the Chinese in this war appeared. Tang Yulin, chairman of the Rehe Provincial Government, abandoned the city and fled. The Japanese army had only one squadron of cavalry without a single shot to occupy Chengde, the capital of Rehe Provincial.
The problem facing Yang Feng, Sun Dianying, Feng Zhanhai and others is no longer whether they can defend Chifeng, but whether they can escape from the Japanese army's siege.
It was on this day that Zhao Dengyu led a battalion of cavalry to Chifeng.
(Thanks to the book friend 7521 for the reward. In addition, I have been busy working these days, so I may not be able to guarantee two chapters a day. It is estimated that it will take a week to return to normal. Please forgive me, but one chapter a day can still be guaranteed)
