Chapter 350 The blind cat is destined to encounter a dead mouse
Lu Sanjiang was actually already asleep.
He even snored a little.
But the veteran who was also nesting in the grass five meters away and hanging his arm with a bandage did not wake him up.
Being in the field for several consecutive days was highly stressful, making the veteran who was unable to sleep due to pain from his wounds feel extremely tired, let alone a young man who had just been in the army for three years, even though he had gradually grown into a qualified cavalryman.
Young cavalrymen must be qualified.
Because the brothers who stood in front of him and shielded them from the wind and rain were constantly being consumed in the war. Just like in the last showdown with the Japanese cavalry, most of the people who died were veterans.
They knew that as long as they dodge, the ones whose chests and abdomen would be sliced open by the sharp sabers of the Japanese army would be the recruits following them. Therefore, they could not hide. They had to either exchange their lives for their lives, or use their bodies to become the slaves of their little brothers.
shield.
The growth of cavalry is even more cruel than that of infantry. One group dies in battle and another group grows up.
There are very few veterans who can survive to the end.
But this is also the pride of the cavalry.
The veteran's left elbow was chopped off in the last round of cavalry battle. According to the rules, those with missing limbs can be classified as seriously injured and do not need to go on missions. However, he was still worried about his little brother and insisted on accompanying him to the battlefield with his arm hanging for reconnaissance.
Lu Sanjiang was not only his comrade-in-arms, but also a fellow villager in his village. It was he who patted his chest and took Lu Sanjiang away from his parents, telling them that he would definitely come back with a successful little brother.
He may no longer be able to shoot and fight with his little brother, but his experience can undoubtedly give more help to the Xinke Cavalry Sergeant. In addition, the cavalry company has been short of manpower in recent days of fighting, so he, a seriously wounded soldier who should have been hiding for recuperation, also entered the battlefield.
.
The continuous pain constantly tortured people's nerves, but it also became the best stimulus to resist drowsiness. The veteran only slept for less than 3 hours in two days and nights.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the main road, there was enemy sentiment!
However, the veteran knew that Lu Sanjiang was awake without him shouting.
His purring disappeared.
The veteran grinned with great relief.
He knew that his little brother was growing up faster than he imagined. Even the deepest sleep, even with him by his side, did not make him lose enough vigilance.
This is good and means that he will soon be able to stand alone.
This also means that he may not need his own help in the future to go on missions with newer soldiers.
However, for the veterans, there is only joy and no loss.
"Brother! Why are there Japanese cavalry at this time?" Lu Sanjiang's voice came softly.
"I don't know!" The veteran, who was chewing grass roots instead of cigarettes, shook his head solemnly.
Before the Japanese Tenth Army arrived in Songjiang, in order to hinder their march, Songjiang City sent nearly a thousand people to destroy the main road from Huangpu River to Songjiang City. The large pits dug manually and the roadbed blown up with explosives made the purely mechanized troops want to pass this road.
Access from the main road is extremely difficult.
The Japanese engineers spent a lot of time and failed to repair this main road quickly. Horseback riding and three-wheeled motorcycles became the main means of transportation for the Japanese troops between the two places.
However, at this time, it is definitely not a good choice to gallop on a horse in such road conditions. If you are not careful, the horse will lose its front foot and the person and the horse will fall half to death.
However, the cavalry team running along the main road increased their horse speed to at least 50%.
The first few horses used flashlights to shine on the road ahead, obviously they were pathfinders, and the two dozen or so horses behind followed closely behind in the early morning light.
You can feel their eagerness without looking too close.
However, this scale is neither a cavalry formation that can be put into combat, nor a communications team of two or three horses.
The telescope specially borrowed from the company commander was hung around Lu Sanjiang's neck. The Xinke cavalry sergeant who opened his eyes vigilantly must learn to observe and judge by himself, instead of relying on his brother for everything.
Ever since he saw the veteran paying the price of losing his arm to save himself, Lu Sanjiang became much quieter.
The veteran knew his guilt, but he did not go out of his way to enlighten him. Pain and suffering are all processes that must be experienced in growth.
Now Lu Sanjiang is much better than the new recruit who was used to asking the veteran about everything two or three days ago.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the cavalry running in the distance is becoming clearer and clearer.
"Brother! They seem to be escorting someone to the Songjiang front line." Lu Sanjiang's voice came.
"Well! Then we will evacuate after they pass by. It will be bright soon, and the Japanese cavalry may come at any time." The veteran nodded.
"I've been on guard all night and haven't found anything, so I'm going back like this. I don't want to do that!" Lu Sanjiang licked his lips, feeling a little annoyed.
"No situation is better than no situation!" the veteran said as he packed up his belongings with one arm.
"That's true!" Lu Sanjiang replied while holding a telescope unwillingly and looking at the cavalry from far to near, and then from near to far.
In the queue of the cavalry, a figure wearing white gloves and a command knife hanging on his waist without a helmet broke into his sight.
"Brother, there is a high-ranking official! Don't say he is an assistant official!" Lu Sanjiang's eyes suddenly opened.
"So what? There are just the two of us here, and there are more than 20 people in this house. Can you cook him or steam him?" The veteran shook his head and replied angrily. "Get ready to leave. Go back and report to the company commander and the others.
, the Japanese army has no troops to mobilize tonight.”
"Hey! If my marksmanship is half as good as that of Deputy Director Tang, I might be able to kill him." Lu Sanjiang took out his lance and aimed at the cavalry in the distance. Even the cavalry was blurred in the crosshairs, let alone what he saw in the telescope.
The Japanese officer who was watching inside said with great regret.
"Shit, it's so far away. Even if Deputy Director Tang comes here, it won't be easy! When will you be able to calm down and stop doing such fantastic things!" The veteran frowned and reprimanded his little brother.
This guy didn't remain calm for two days and was almost back to his previous state, which made him quite dissatisfied.
"Why aren't you calm? I just said that, but I didn't say that I really wanted to fight." Lying in the grass, Lu Sanjiang stubbornly continued to aim at the cavalry with his gun.
The far distance made it difficult for him to see clearly in the sight, so he subconsciously picked up the telescope with his left hand and looked at the figure of the Japanese officer who was still rising and falling on the horse. He held the gun in one hand and simulated in his mind how he could be like that.
Like the Tang Dao, one shot at a time.
In fact, Tang Dao left a deep impression on him in the cavalry duel that day.
The cavalry are facing each other, and the distance of three to four hundred meters is approaching in an instant. The muscles in your body are almost stiff. What makes your mind go blank is not time, but the sound of horse hooves like continuous thunder. It keeps warning you, if you don't raise your sword,
You will be decapitated by your opponent.
Therefore, the cavalry often throw away their lances after firing a shot and hold their sabers high, which can not only deter the enemy, but also embolden themselves.
It's like holding a gun and emptying five rounds of the magazine like Tang Dao, which is so psychologically powerful that it's scary.
Perhaps too immersed in it, Sergeant Xinke didn't realize that his gun's safety had already been turned on. With a slight hook of his finger, the rifle was fired.
"Bang!" A shot was fired.
"You bastard, you're crazy!" the veteran almost vomited blood.
Why is this bastard so stubborn?
Lu Sanjiang was also stunned.
It wasn't because I pulled the trigger recklessly.
But something incredible happened in the telescope.
A war horse fell down at the sound.
The Japanese cavalry, which was speeding up, instantly fell into chaos.
He actually hit it?
It’s more than a mile away!
Has God shown his spirit?
"Brother, I seem to have been hit!" Lu Sanjiang replied weakly.
"I'm going to hit you! You lied about your military exploits and your child will look good." The veteran who crawled over grabbed Lu Sanjiang's binoculars and looked into the distance.
The veteran was also stunned.
The Japanese cavalry had stopped. Instead of searching and pursuing them deep into the wilderness as imagined, they were all gathered together in a panic.
Obviously, Lu Sanjiang didn't lie, he really hit a target.
This blind cat has the same luck as a mouse.
"Let's go!" The veteran shouted in a deep voice without bothering to check the results of the battle.
When the Japanese army reacted later, the two men would not be able to escape. The Mongolian horses they equipped were far inferior to the Japanese horses in sprinting short distances.
The two soldiers quietly climbed out of the bushes to the back of the hill, led their horses with cotton hooves tied to them, and retreated deeper into the woods.
If they had the opportunity to look back, they would be surprised to find that the Japanese cavalry had no intention of pursuing them.
There is wilderness on all sides, and they have no way of tracking just one of their targets.
More importantly, the target they were responsible for protecting, Major General Moritake Tanabe, fell from his horse and was seriously injured.
