Although Kuroshima Morita is the captain of the team.
But almost every battle takes the lead, and this time was no exception. Colonel Kuroshima rode a maroon war horse and ran at the front of the queue.
He was really afraid that Li Yunlong had escaped, and Commander Shinozuka Yoshio named this person to be killed in order to avenge his previous shame.
As long as Li Yunlong can be killed or captured, not only can he avenge Takeshima Suda and the 80 cavalry warriors, but it will also be a great achievement.
Kuroshima Morita was all excited. Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the stronghold of Nanzhuang Village outside the county town, just to show off his military exploits...
From a long distance away, Kuroshima Morita raised his binoculars and looked at the battlefield. The Nanzhuang Village stronghold was filled with smoke.
Looking further ahead, we can see the corpses of Japanese infantry everywhere. Looking further ahead is the battlefield where the real cavalry is fighting.
I saw the Eighth Route Army cavalry cleaning the battlefield, and horses without their owners were scattered everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Kuroshima Morita knew that his 1st Cavalry Squadron was finished.
Kuroshima Morita couldn't help but burst into anger. He drew out the Emperor's sword with a sharp sound and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Empire, let me chop off the heads of the Eighth Route Cavalry!"
The Japanese cavalry behind them responded one after another, screaming strangely, and charged towards the Eighth Route Army cavalry.
Sun Desheng had long received a signal from the lookout post on the top of the mountain. The Japanese had arrived with about 1,000 cavalry!
The injured soldiers had already been sent away by Sun Desheng, taking the fork in the road in the other direction. Infantry would then respond.
The main force of the cavalry is preparing to lead the main force of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment towards Yelangyu.
Hearing the rumble of horse hooves, the soldiers all got on their horses and looked in the direction of the county seat.
Sun Desheng stood on horseback and looked in the direction of the county town with his binoculars. The first thing that caught his eye was a puff of dust rising into the sky.
The Japanese cavalry soon entered within 1 kilometer. Sun Desheng was also in the field of view of the telescope and saw the Japanese at the front using a telescope to observe here.
Sun Desheng raised his right hand, palm down, and put it under his neck, making a wiping motion.
Full of provocation.
Kuroshima Morita naturally saw Sun Desheng wiping his neck and couldn't help but get furious.
If he is so crazy, this person is probably Li Yunlong.
Kuroshima Morita waved his command sword and shouted: "Haha Gu, capture Li Yunlong alive!"
"Haha..." Sun Desheng laughed wildly, spread his feet, and landed firmly on the saddle.
"Withdraw!" Sun Desheng ordered.
"Ouch!"
"..."
The Eighth Route Army cavalrymen whistled and shouted, urging their horses to run away.
After all, there are thousands of Japanese cavalry coming, and their cavalry strength is not enough.
Even if Sun Desheng had more than 1,000 cavalry, he would not fight a Japanese cavalry unit head-on.
The Japanese cavalry regiment has been depleted and will soon be able to replenish troops from the mainland. However, his more than 1,000 cavalry units have been depleted. I don't know how long it will take to regain their strength.
Kuroshima Morita saw the Eighth Route Cavalry turning around and running away through the telescope, and his face darkened.
Are you pretending to be cool and still want to run away?
Have you asked me, Colonel Kuroshima Morita?
Colonel Kuroshima had thought that this might be a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army.
But he is not afraid at all, so what if it is the evil plot of the Eighth Route Army?
The absolute gap in strength cannot be made up by cunning tricks or tactics.
Heidao hoped that Li Yunlong's main force would be waiting for the Heidao Cavalry Regiment in the front, so that he could wipe out Li Yunlong's troops in one fell swoop.
Then he captured Li Yunlong alive, cut off his head, and hung it on the city wall of Taiyuan.
Don’t the Chinese people like to regard the Eighth Route Army as heroes?
Then I, Kuroshima Morita, will knock your hero off the altar!
The Japanese cavalry howled and chased them.
As the horses' hooves tumbled, loess flew up, and thousands of Japanese cavalry surged forward, with the vague momentum of a ten thousand army.
The Japanese cavalry raised their sabers, and the shiny sabers reflected a fascinating cold light under the sunlight.
It is not that easy for the cavalry to escape the pursuit of the cavalry, not to mention that there are still more than 300 cavalry in the Eighth Route Army.
The Black Island Cavalry Regiment only needs to pursue in the direction where the dust is rising, and that's right.
This is where Kuroshima Morita’s confidence lies.
Even if they chase him to the end of the world, he will kill Li Yunlong!
The two sides started chasing each other.
The three company commanders, Sun Desheng, Li Haiqiang and Huang Zhiyong, were running almost at the back of the team.
When he saw the large cloud of dust rising from behind, he knew that the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was chasing him.
"It's a pity, they are all good horses." Huang Zhiyong said loudly, "It would be great if we could take them away."
After killing the first squadron of the Black Island Regiment Cavalry, the Japanese cavalry's rifles, sabers and bullets were captured, but the army horses could not be taken away.
After all, each person can only ride one horse, and with so many military horses, there is no way to escape from the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.
"Yes, there are almost 200 horses." Li Haiqiang also looked regretful, "It's enough for our Eighth Route Army to expand two cavalry companies!"
After laughing, Sun Desheng said: "Brothers, don't worry, in a few hours at most, these soldiers and horses will have the surname eight!"
Huang Zhiyong's expression changed: "Company Commander Sun, how do you say this?"
"To tell you the truth." Sun Desheng said proudly while riding his horse, "In this battle, our new regiment will not only defeat the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, but also capture the county seat!"
Huang Zhiyong and Li Haiqiang gasped at the same time, their eyes and expressions were shocked. Captain Li really had a huge appetite.
Sun Desheng glanced back and saw the Japanese's leading cavalry appearing in his field of vision, only about 600 meters away from them.
The Japanese cavalry chased and fired with rifles.
However, the effective range of the Type 44 rifle is only 500 meters.
What's more, both sides are still moving at high speed. Hitting someone at this distance is no different than winning a 5 million lottery ticket.
The Eighth Route Cavalry approaching No. 300 soon rumbled through Jianshan Tsui where Li Yunlong asked the Third Battalion Commander to lead his troops to set up an ambush.
The mountain front of Tsim Shan Tsui is convex, and the road passes under the mountain. The terrain looks very dangerous.
Adjutant Suzuki Tsuneo looked at the terrain of Tsim Shan Tsui and shouted to Kuroshima Morita at the top of his lungs: "Captain, the front is Tsim Shan Tsui, there may be an Eighth Route Army ambush!"
He had to speak louder. If his voice was softer, it would be drowned out by the rumble of horse hooves.
Kuroshima Morita raised his right hand high, then clenched it into a fist, signaling to the Japanese cavalry behind him to stop advancing.
The Japanese cavalry began to slow down one after another, and they did not stop until they had run several hundred meters forward.
Kuroshima Morita said: "Suzuki-kun, do you think the Eighth Route Cavalry will set up an ambush in Tsim Shan Tsui?"
"Your Excellency, Captain," Suzuki Tsuneo said, "The terrain here is very dangerous. If the Eighth Route Army sets up an ambush here, our Black Island Cavalry Regiment may suffer heavy losses."
Kuroshima Morita used a telescope to observe the terrain ahead. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen scout cavalry came out of the queue and galloped toward Jianshan Tsui.
