Chapter 48 Shopping for the Devil's Cavalry (Part 1)
This is a not-too-wide depression, surrounded by rugged hillsides covered with trees, but the depression in the middle is filled with black soil.
Originally, there was not so much black soil in the depression. After discovering that this depression was not far from a mountain spring, people in the mountain village organized people to transport soil here from other places. This luck lasted for hundreds of years.
After such a long period of hard work, this depression has now become a piece of fertile soil in the mountains. The food grown on the powerful black soil grows very well, and the green color is particularly attractive.
Not far from the east side of the depression, there is a hidden mountain col, which is gourd-shaped and shrinks suddenly at the exit. A small road winds forward from the entrance of the mountain col, leading to the mountain road to the east.
"Stop moving forward and rest where you are."
Zheng Xiao stopped in the woods, then raised his hand to check the time, and found that they had been walking through the woods for about ten minutes. According to the speed, the depression was not far ahead.
On the way here, Zheng Xiao and the others climbed two cliffs one after another. If the special forces team members were not agile and specially trained, they probably would not have been able to do it.
The Japanese would have never dreamed that these people were more agile than monkeys. They could fly over walls and climb cliffs as easily as stretching.
If they take a detour, they are probably still wandering in front of the second cliff, and they won't be able to get here in another half hour.
Now that he was not far from the depression, Zheng Xiao waved his hand and walked forward with two special forces members. He planned to check the terrain first.
After two battles, Zheng Xiao felt that there was an opponent in the Japanese army who was not easy to deal with. His thoughts were very careful, and he almost fell into his scheme and suffered a loss several times.
So he is very cautious now!
The three people walked through the woods and walked forward for about 200 meters to the edge of the woods. This was on a hillside. Going down the hillside was the depression, and diagonally opposite and a little further away was the mountain col.
Quietly reaching the edge of the woods and hiding under a bush, Zheng Xiao raised his binoculars and observed what was going on down the hillside.
There was silence in the depression, and nothing out of the ordinary could be seen.
Zheng Xiao was worried. He held up his binoculars and carefully examined the depressions, especially the crops and field ridges, to see if there was anything unusual, such as human footprints.
There were indeed a few footprints left on the field ridge, but after Zheng Xiao looked at them, he found that they were all the marks of coarse cloth shoes, and there were no footprints of Japanese suede shoes.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the Japanese hadn't found this place yet, so he could save some trouble by leading his team.
Reaching back and grabbing the walkie-talkie, Zheng Xiao dialed He Ming, and then whispered, "The break is over, and the team is starting to take action."
On the other side of the walkie-talkie, He Ming and Yang Gang jumped up from the ground and walked toward them along the route Zheng Xiao and the others had walked.
"Captain, look." At this moment, two special operations team members holding binoculars to monitor the situation suddenly shouted, while pointing to the side of the depression, "Someone has appeared at three o'clock."
"There?"
Zheng Xiao hurriedly raised the telescope and looked in the direction mentioned by the two people. As a result, he saw a figure in the lens.
It was not a person, but a group of people. They were walking down the hillside on the other side and walking towards the depression. Because they were a bit far away and there were trees and shrubs in the middle, Zheng Xiao couldn't see clearly.
Case.
"Strange, are these Japanese troops or Chinese?" Zheng Xiao held up the telescope and stared at the situation over there without blinking, wondering, "How did they find this place?"
The topography of this depression is special, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it without someone to guide them.
While Zheng Xiao was waiting anxiously, the crowd finally walked out of the woods and came to the foot of the hillside. Now Zheng Xiao felt relieved.
The people who came were a group of men dressed in villagers' costumes, most of them dressed as hunters. Almost everyone had a weapon in their hand, and a few of them seemed to be injured and their bodies were wrapped.
Among the crowd, Zheng Xiao saw a slender and beautiful figure at a glance. It was Zhuge Yaomei who had saved people with him.
Looking to the side again, old man Du Gang was also there. His legs were wrapped and he was leaning on a crutch made of a tree stick. He was limping down with the team, accompanied by his two sons.
In addition to them, there was someone Zheng Xiao knew in the team, that was he and Du Gang. Yufeng, the blacksmith's daughter Yaomei rescued, was also among the crowd.
"I didn't expect them to be here. What a coincidence." Zheng Xiao was happy. Seeing that these people were safe, his burden became much lighter.
Just as he was about to stand up and say hello, suddenly a gunshot rang out in the distance in front of him, and then an Orion who was walking in the front fell to the ground. It seemed that he had been hit.
The sudden sound of gunshots not only shocked Zhuge Yaomei and the others, but also Zheng Xiao here, who hurriedly raised his binoculars to take a look.
"No, it's the Japanese cavalry!" Through the telescope, a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in front of the mountain col. They were riding on war horses and were rushing out of the mountain col. The frontmost Japanese soldier was holding a carbine in his hand. It seemed that just now
It was him who fired the gun.
There were seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers in all, all Japanese horses. These people were riding on war horses. It was obvious from their movements that they were all good men. They were adjusting their horses' heads and charging towards the valley.
This is a flat depression, about two or three miles in diameter. The terrain is very flat, and there are only knee-high crops on the ground. It is a suitable terrain for cavalry to charge, but it is not a good terrain for villagers without thermal weapons.
information.
On the low ground, Zhuge Yaomei and the others could barely walk to the middle. They were in a situation where they could not retreat. Moreover, it seemed that they did not know how powerful the Japanese cavalry was, so they actually stopped and raised their Zhuge crossbows to prepare to snipe the Japanese.
cavalry.
Although the power of Zhuge's crossbows is not weak, if you want to use these to resist the Japanese cavalry, it will be a drop in the bucket, and you will probably be massacred by the Japanese.
"Quickly, kill all these Chinese people!"
Seeing that the villagers actually stopped and tried to stop him with the cold weapons in their hands, the Japanese cavalry captain smiled ferociously, then pulled out his carbine from behind and waved it forward, "These Chinese people are really stupid.
, seeking death."
A hundred or so cavalrymen dispersed their formation, and they raised their carbines one by one and pointed them at the villagers on the opposite side, waiting to get closer, closer.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves struck the eardrums of everyone present!
