At around seven o'clock in the morning, the sun had just begun to shine. In Huangjiagou, the thunderous sound of horse hooves rang. Hattori Enjin was riding a tall white horse, feeling quite proud of the spring breeze. He held his command knife high and roared powerfully. He said: "Gentlemen, please work harder and don't let the First Brigade take away all the credit."
Dozens of little devils responded in unison: "Hai." The team at the head accelerated and ran towards "Jiangjunkan".
Zhou Qinghai looked at the dozens of Japs and horses rushing at the front, and said to himself: "Damn, these Japs march very rigorously. They also know how to send outposts. It would be great if they prepared some traps and the like."
Fang Hongming stared closely at the approaching Japanese cavalry, and suddenly felt a little regretful in his heart. If he had known that the Japanese would let the cavalry go first, he would have definitely achieved greater gains by setting up ambushes on the mountains on both sides. Now, because of the existence of this vanguard, It seems impossible to inflict serious damage to the Japanese army at once, because of the lack of heavy weapons. The next step will definitely be a fierce battle.
As the outermost armed forces in the military system, it is impossible for low-level officers like Fang Hongming and Zhou Qinghai to know the general strategy formulated by the military department. It is commendable that Zhou Qinghai was determined to block the Huncheng Army from the beginning. The Second Brigade's strategy, no matter how long it can persist, will be a good thing for the Chinese army inside and outside Tiemen Pass.
The leading horses of the Japanese army had already stepped onto the downhill slope of Shogunkan, and about fifty meters away from them, using Hattori Enjin as an arrow, the Japanese army followed closely.
"It's time." Zhou Qinghai thought to himself, and suddenly shouted: "Hit." He pulled the rope hard with both hands. A few seconds later, the leading Japanese troops reined in the horse's head because of his shout and looked around, and When the warning action was taken, the rumbling sound of landmine explosions rang out. Eighteen landmines formed three parallel lines, extending back from the downhill slope of "Jiangjunkan". They exploded one after another within a few seconds of each other. Ten mines exploded one after another within a few seconds. Eight mushroom clouds soared into the sky, and in the fireworks, tens of millions of iron nails, broken iron pieces, and even sharp porcelain shards shot out all over the place more than fifty meters away. The Japanese Second Cavalry Regiment's 30 None of the rest of the vanguard and the more than fifty people who entered the minefield were spared. The most miserable among them were the few cavalrymen at the end of the vanguard. Their men and horses were torn into pieces, although most of the others were not lost. A small life, but the whole body is kissed by several or even a dozen iron pieces at the same time, and the consequences are enough to make people shudder.
Hattori's reaction was quite quick. As soon as the first explosion sounded, he pulled hard on the reins. His mount "Golden General" stood up with a high voice and stopped its progress. At the same time, he shouted: " Enemy attack."
Behind him, officers of all sizes shouted: "Enemy attack." They quickly controlled their mounts and
"Boom." A loud noise exploded right in front of Hattori. Dozens of shrapnel hit the neck, chest, and front legs of the "Golden General" at the same time. The tall white horse screamed and pushed the golden mountain, like a jade pillar. He fell down, startling Hattori, but he was very agile. He quickly left the stirrups with his feet and jumped off the horse.
"Boom." Behind him, the explosion continued, and the neighing and wailing of men and horses could be heard endlessly. In front, on the small slope, four or five flames were spitting out from the yellow and green grass. They were Czech-made light bulbs. The masterpiece of the machine gun, the sporadic gunshots of "Ping Ping Ping Pong" rang out, and occasionally one or two explosions of grenades were heard. Seeing his beloved horse lying in a pool of blood and neighing softly, Hattori Erimi felt heartbroken all over his body. Spasming, he knelt on the ground, hugged the bloody neck of his beloved horse, raised his head, his eyes had turned as red as a rabbit, "Eight grids, eight grids." Unable to bear the torture of his beloved horse, he suddenly raised his command knife Inserted into the horse's neck, pulled hard, and cut the carotid artery, and then the spring water was like a spurt of horse blood. He hugged the horse and cried bitterly, as if he were mourning his heir. The captain of Kumaji's cavalry brigade risked being hit by a stray bullet at any time. Dangerous Horse finally found Hattori, who was burying his head in tears. When he saw the "Golden General" who was still staring at death, he was shocked and couldn't say the words he had originally prepared. Among the Imperial Army's cavalry troops, Hattori Enhito was a famous horseman. He was so crazy that he loved this "Golden General" as much as his life. Now that the Chinese actually killed it, he couldn't help but worry about the Chinese army on the opposite side. He didn't know what kind of crazy actions Captain Hattori would do in anger. It's hard to say, but Jiichiro Kuma is certain that the revenge will be unprecedentedly brutal.
Jiichiro Kuma had such a natural idea. On the one hand, it was out of his understanding of Hattori, and on the other hand, it was out of contempt for the Chinese army. During the September 18th Incident, the Northeastern Army was defeated. Among them, the one who pursued the most The cavalry unit is fierce and can often accomplish great feats with a small unit. The second cavalry regiment once enjoyed this glory.
But this time, Kumaji failed to achieve what he said as "Zhuge Liang".
Zhou Qinghai and Fang Hongming didn't know that they had offended the enemy's supreme commander. What awaited them next would be a real test of fire and blood.
Hattori also didn't know that what ambushed him was just a civilian armed force. Because of the death of his beloved horse, he had become crazy and then issued an order that was almost like committing suicide for the cavalry, and the entire army carried out the operation without reservation. Charge and annihilate all the Chinese on the opposite side,
Hattori raved: "I want to use a temple made of Chinese heads to commemorate the general's spirit in heaven."
Zhou Qinghai personally detonated six landmines and was deeply impressed by their power. Zhou Qinghai was still interested. The landmines were naturally brought by Fang Hongming, so he shouted to Fang Hongming: "Xiao Fang, what a good thing, if there are more than a thousand more, we can No need to shoot anymore."
Fang Hongming smiled bitterly. The power of landmines, especially tactical landmines, should not be underestimated. However, it would be a fool's errand to think that he could defeat more than two thousand Japanese cavalry troops with only landmines. He shouted: "No nonsense." He said, let's see who kills more Japs." He changed a magazine and
Zhou Qinghai laughed heartily. Apart from the shell gun, his usual weapons were made in Hanyang. What he was proud of was his ability to hit flying birds from a distance of 100 meters. He responded loudly: "Xiao Fang , if you have the guts, let's have a good competition. Don't look at the strength of the guy in your hand, but if you really want to kill the Japanese, you have to rely on your skills. Watch carefully." When he finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and he used his crosshairs. The trapped prisoner immediately fell from his horse and was dragged backwards by the horse for more than ten meters.
