Behind him were seven or eight light cavalrymen of the Yin Army wearing red military uniforms and round hats.
The "bang bang bang" gunshots alerted the Canadian cavalry who were searching and advancing.
A hundred-man Donghua Cavalry came forward to meet them.
The company commander leading the team could tell at a glance that the rider fleeing towards his side was a Chinese.
The man was wearing a green militia uniform. In fact, most of the pioneering regiments usually wore this style of clothing.
The Pioneer Regiment is originally a paramilitary organization like the Corps.
For these Canadian immigrants, such attire is so familiar in their memories.
Many half-year-old boys work hard to make money by doing odd jobs, and just want to buy their own green military uniforms from the supply and marketing cooperative. Wearing the green military uniforms makes them the most handsome boy in the village.
The cavalry company commander Tan Duansheng immediately decided to double-team the enemy's pursuers.
The troops chasing the pioneer militiamen came from the 9th Household Cavalry Regiment.
They had already arrived in Montreal by sea and land in May.
The expedition force that arrived in Canada totaled nearly 50,000 people.
You must know that before this, the number of standing troops stationed by the Chinese in the Canadian province was less than 10,000.
The arrival of this group of soldiers was warmly welcomed by Charles Stanley Monk, the newly appointed Governor of the Province of Canada.
In fact, Monk has only just taken office.
The previous governor-general, Lord Hurd, mishandled the issue of Wall penetration from the western region into the eastern Canadian provinces.
Being held accountable for this, Temple sent Sir Monk, a hawk, to the Canadian province while he was still in office.
Temple expected that he could open a second front against the Renaissance Army here.
In order to launch an offensive against the Renaissance Army's pioneering group in the central Great Lakes region in the summer.
After Sir Monk had the expeditionary force briefly repaired in Montreal, it moved to Thunder Bay in the central region through the Great Lakes waterway, and through there to Winnipeg, the bridgehead of the Canadian Province in the western region.
At this time, Winnipeg was still just a small town-sized military fortress.
It was only after the pioneering regiment of the Renaissance Army entered the central region that it was upgraded from a trading post to a fortress.
Ever since Sir Hurd sent a group of exiles over last year, and then they were wiped out by the advance party of the Renaissance Army in the central region.
Sir Hurd deployed an infantry force of 2,000 men here to curb the continuous penetration and encroachment of the pioneering regiment.
The development team has not made any big moves in the past two years. They are just digesting and absorbing the areas they have developed before.
Dong Shuheng has been busy dealing with the war in the subcontinent for a year.
In terms of immigration, Jiahua and Nanhua are also the first priority. In Zhuzhou, the investment in Dongzhou is indeed much less.
In addition, the climate of this place is similar to that of the Far East. Most of the year is in winter, and the rate of return from development is relatively low.
Dong Shuheng originally sent a pioneering team to skip the Rocky Mountains in the west and directly enter the swamp grassland area in the middle in order to draw a de facto dividing line.
No one in the Fuxing Army thought that the Yin Army would send 50,000 regular troops to the desolate Canadian area.
This was when the war in the subcontinent was so intense.
Munch's confidentiality work was also very good.
He even kept Millician, who was leaning next to him, in the dark.
The Renaissance Army received no news at all.
So when the original pioneer point of Fort Yuanxiang on the west bank of Lake Winnipeg was attacked by the Japanese army.
The militiamen guarding the pioneer point thought they were the Winnipeg garrison.
They knew there were two thousand soldiers in Winnipeg.
Yuanxiang Fort has more than 3,000 people and can organize more than 1,500 militiamen.
Most of the pioneer team members here are young men and women, with almost no old people or children. Everyone can fight.
If there were only a few thousand soldiers, they could still hold on with the help of the fortress.
But after the follow-up troops of the Yin Army arrived.
The people in the pioneering group were dumbfounded. When did tens of thousands of soldiers suddenly appear?
Then something even more despairing for the pioneering team happened.
The Yin army also brought heavy artillery.
Under the bombardment of the heavy artillery of the Yin Army, the fortress built by the pioneering group was riddled with holes.
The Yin army also surrounded the fortress.
These pioneering groups of the Renaissance Army were unable to evacuate even if they wanted to.
It only took the Yin army half a day to capture the fortress.
The leader of the pioneering regiment guarding the fortress took advantage of the short opportunity for the enemy to invade the fortress.
Several dozen cavalrymen who still maintained their combat effectiveness were sent to break through.
He himself led the remaining men to counterattack at a weak point of the Yin army, creating an opportunity for the dozens of militiamen who broke through.
Ma Yongqing is one of these dozens of flag-bearers.
He followed the regimental leader's instructions, crawled on the horse's back, beat the horse with all his strength and ran outside.
Naturally, the people of Yu will not let them go.
The nearby enemy troops all fired at them. Ma Yongqing could see his companions not far away, including men and horses, falling to the ground.
They originally fled north, but the cavalry of the Yin Army pursued them closely.
Ma Yongqing turned his horse's head to get rid of them, but his swing turned into running south.
Because the Yu people were chasing so closely, Ma Yongqing could no longer adjust his direction.
He thought about getting rid of the Chinese people first.
Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain in his back.
His body couldn't help but twitch, and a feeling of powerlessness came over him.
Ma Yongqing hugged the horse's neck tightly with both arms to prevent himself from falling.
Maybe he is the last person to escape. He must send the information about the Yin army to the pioneering group in the north.
According to the number of people from the Yu country, no pioneering group can be their opponent. All pioneering groups must be united.
The premise is that they have to know the news in advance.
In August, the weather in the north has just warmed up, and the various pioneering groups are busy with agricultural production, and there is not much communication with each other.
If the news cannot be sent back in time, the Japanese will probably defeat the pioneering group one by one.
Ma Yongqing knew how important his mission was, and this piece of information might be related to the names of hundreds of thousands of pioneer team members.
Now that all regiments are stepping up production, this is the time when prevention is at its weakest.
The Japanese just took advantage of the warm weather to launch their attack, but it happened to coincide with the time when the pioneering group was farming.
At this time most of the labor is in the fields, and the number of armed militia patrols is the smallest of the year.
Ma Yongqing ran and ran, and the wound on his back would cause severe pain every time the horse's hoof hit the ground.
Blood soaked through his green uniform and even flowed onto the horse.
Ma Yongqing felt that his consciousness was gradually fading, but his strong thoughts were supporting him.
In Mimi Lake, he seemed to see a group of cavalry coming in front of him.
It was a group of cavalry wearing khaki military uniforms, and Ma Yongqing could only see the shadow of Mohu.
The cavalry in front separated left and right and bypassed him at high speed. They rushed towards the Yin army behind him.
He could hear the sound of gunfire. These people seemed to be exchanging fire with the Yin army.
Five cavalrymen approached him.
Ma Yongqing finally saw clearly that these people were Chinese.
His heart relaxed slightly, and he gently pulled the reins to slow down the horse.
The moment of relaxation made him seem to fall into the abyss.
"Wake up, brother, where are you from?" Tan Duansheng patted the rider in green military uniform. As soon as the opponent's horse stopped, the rider fell down.
This is a young man in his early twenties with a Chinese character face and thick eyebrows, but his face is pale at this time.
Tan Duansheng had already seen the bullet holes in the opponent's back.
The bullet probably penetrated his lung.
This young man could lose his life at any time.
"Bring me a red pill, quickly!"
There is a red pill in the first aid kit of every Renaissance soldier, which is called an insurance pill by the soldiers.
This safety device will only be used when a soldier suffers serious gunshot wounds and heavy bleeding.
The injured life can be saved at the critical moment.
The Canadian Army, which is in the same line as the Renaissance Army, naturally also has such equipment.
This medicine was developed by Dong Shuheng, who gathered the most famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the world, and based on the wild Tianqi that is unique to Yunnan.
Its ingredient formula has been designated as a top secret of the Renaissance Army. Moreover, this medicine is not exported and is only provided internally to the military.
Tan Duansheng reached for the red pill and put it into Ma Yongqing's mouth.
The effect of the medicine can be exerted by slowly melting the pill in the mouth.
Sure enough, Ma Yongqing woke up and turned around.
"The people of Yu State... there are tens of thousands of people... have broken through Yuanxiang Fort... and sent the news to the regiment points in the north and west." Ma Yongqing was worried that he would faint again, so he turned around and told the other party the information first.
Although Ma Yongqing did not know these people, at least they were Chinese, and the Chinese in the New World were all one family.
This is what the immigration officials told them before they came out - no matter where they go, as long as they bump into Chinese people of the same race and race, they are your family members in a foreign land.
Although the Canadian-Alaska Territory of the Renaissance Army where Ma Yongqing and others are located is under the jurisdiction of the Renaissance Army itself, it is not much different from a foreign country.
After Ma Yongqing finished speaking, he fainted again.
However, he made the matter very clear in just a few words.
First, the Yin army launched a surprise attack on the pioneering point.
Secondly, the troops of the Han people were very large, reaching tens of thousands. As for the specific number, the pioneering group may have been defeated before they could figure it out.
It can be seen from this that this should be the main force transferred from the mainland of the country.
Tan Duansheng didn't dare to make the decision without authorization, but fortunately Liu Qingnan was not far behind.
Soon the news reached Liu Qingnan, who was the Minister of Defense after all.
Liu Qingnan is very clear about the military model of the Renaissance Army in central Canada.
There are almost no regular troops here. The Pioneer Regiment is a semi-military organization and can protect itself.
In addition, there is an advance team here that is good at polar operations. The total number of people is now several thousand. This is one of the few field troops here.
However, this advance team is better at fighting in harsh environments, and their targets are mainly the Yin Di'an tribes in the north who are dependent on the Yu people.
It is obviously not cost-effective for them to fight against the regular army of the Yin Army.
There are also those pioneering groups. Although their total number is hundreds of thousands, they can also recruit hundreds of thousands of militiamen, but they are scattered over millions of square kilometers of land. Moreover, these militia groups lack heavy weapons and are not good at field combat.
.
The situation was critical, and Liu Qingnan could not think of a way to break the situation. However, he still sent two companies, one to the west and one to the north to deliver the message.
He suggested that these militia groups fortify the walls and clear the country, and retreat to the rear first to extend the logistical supplies of the Yu people.
This was the best way he could think of.
Liu Qingnan told the soldiers delivering the news to avoid the large troops of the Yin Army.
They were also given a man and two horses.
After doing this, he used his marching radio to send a message to the rear, informing him of the strange changes in the Canadian area.
He was not stupid enough to lead seven or eight thousand cavalry to challenge the tens of thousands of Yu troops.
It would be great if all those pioneering groups could be equipped with radio stations.
It's just that the Renaissance Army has just developed a radio station and can only deploy it in small numbers in the army.
The number of radio stations in the Canadian Army is now only five or six.
As the commander-in-chief, Liu Qingnan usually brings a communications team with him.
He is the kind of person who likes to run around, and this communication group allows him to stay in touch with the outside world.
"Did any of the pursuing soldiers escape?" Liu Qingnan asked Tan Duansheng.
As a small company commander, Tan Duansheng did not feel nervous when he was suddenly questioned by the commander, because Liu Qingnan often hung out with them.
Everyone knew the commander's temperament, and even some ordinary soldiers were very familiar with Liu Qingnan.
"Commander, there are a total of seven pursuers, all of them have stayed, and there are still two alive. I asked Jack Li from the company to interrogate them." Tan Duansheng said.
Jack Li is the only white soldier in the regiment and comes from a working-class family in Jincheng.
His family is Irish and has long been integrated into the life of Canada.
Although this place is now dominated by Chinese, the life of Jack's family has not deteriorated, but is better than before.
In order to change the family's local political status, Jack's father sent his youngest son to the Canadian Army and gave him a Chinese name, Jack Li.
According to Canadian regulations, family members of military personnel enjoy many privileges.
This also inherited the military-first policy of the Fuxing Army.
Jack Li is the only white soldier in Tan Duansheng's company, and he is also a part-time translator.
This time when he came out for training, he also participated in the annihilation of those white farms, and Jack Li also received a lot of benefits.
As a white man, he participated in the massacre of those white immigrants, and he did not feel the slightest discomfort.
On the contrary, he wanted to obtain military honors and let his family take root in Jiahua.
Li Jieke and his companions quickly found out the results. As expected, these cavalrymen were sent from the mainland of China.
They came here to open up a second battlefield to fight the Renaissance Army.
This matter attracted Liu Qingnan's attention, and he passed back the news and his own opinions.
Liu Qingnan felt that the Yin Army was attracting the Fuxing Army to invest resources in Canada.
Compared with the Renaissance Army, the distance between the French and Canadians to reach Canada is obviously closer.
Moreover, most of the areas controlled by the Yin Army in the east are plain areas, and the waterway transportation connected by the Five Great Lakes is also very convenient.
The Renaissance Army not only reached Zhuzhou, but also the Dongzhou area was farther away by sea.
And from the west coast to central Canada, there are high mountains and mountains separated by the Rocky Mountains.
The road infrastructure here is also relatively poor.
Relatively speaking, the logistics cost of the Renaissance Army is even greater.
