Looking at the Japs plane that had raised its altitude and turned again, Zhou Wen smacked his lips regretfully, and said to Zhang Xiaoping with a wry smile: "Keep running, I guess the Japs won't give us another chance to shoot."
Yes, Masato Hirota didn't give Zhou Wen and the others a chance to shoot, and he didn't even want to give them a chance to escape. He now flew the plane in front of Zhou Wen and the others, then turned around and started a dive attack.
In this case, if Zhou Wen and the others still run forward, they will inevitably collide with the plane head-on, and the Japanese will definitely not lower themselves below 200 meters before shooting. Their submachine guns have no way to deal with this behemoth.
Masato Hirota was like herding sheep, chasing Zhou Wen and the others and launched another attack.
He felt that the two rabbits below had become more cunning this time. They actually ran sideways separately, one on the left and the other on the right, and posed a multiple-choice question to him. Which one should attack first?
And judging from the bullets in the belly of the plane just now, the automatic weapons of the two soldiers below are not very powerful. As long as they maintain a certain height, there is no danger of being destroyed.
As a result, a Japanese plane and two Qi Jin realm masters started a life-and-death game of wits and courage.
Of course, life and death refers to Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping. They have no effective counterattack against the Japanese planes that are rampaging at an altitude of more than 200 meters.
Although Masato Hirota was full of confidence, the heavy and slow performance of the Japanese Type 92 reconnaissance aircraft restricted his performance.
You must know that the top speed of this kind of biplane is only 200 kilometers per hour, which means that it takes a long time to raise the position again after each dive shooting, and the accuracy of shooting moving targets at an altitude of more than 200 meters is also somewhat slow. Across.
After all, this kind of aircraft is just a reconnaissance aircraft. Its hovering ability can only be regarded as so-so, but its diving ability is extremely poor. If you don't grasp the angle well, it may cause you to crash.
After several consecutive attacks to no avail, Hirota Masato became a little anxious.
And there was another discovery that made him even more embarrassed. Not only were the two rabbits below not injured, but they began to adapt to the attack trajectory of his plane. Their dodge movements became more and more skillful, their timing became more and more appropriate, and they even began to shoot in advance. Gun shots were fired to interfere with him.
This made him even more afraid to lower his altitude. It was not that Hirota Masato was not brave, but that his plane was too stretched. If he was not careful and was hit by a bullet, it would be very embarrassing, and it would be a disgrace to Japan. The face of Imperial Army Aviation.
After struggling like this for more than ten minutes, Hirota Masato's forehead began to sweat.
He found that not only did he fail to kill anyone, but the two cunning, ferocious, nimble and quick rabbits below him ran closer and closer to the mountain pass.
They took advantage of their failed attack and raised the nose of the plane again, speeding up and running towards the mountain pass ahead. After adjusting the nose of their plane, they ran sideways again, and they didn't know who was walking and playing with whom.
Hirota Masato was so angry that he yelled: "Rabbits are so cunning."
Just then, the observer in the back seat shouted: "Cavalry, our cavalry is coming."
Hirota Masaoshi looked in the direction pointed by the observer's hand and saw countless cavalry rushing towards them from the west. From the air, they looked like a pack of wolves rushing towards each other.
War horses galloped, dust flew, and forest-like sabers shone with sparkling cold light.
Masato Hirota breathed a sigh of relief. Although he could not keep these two ferocious rabbits, it was good to leave them to the cavalry to deal with them. Anyway, he had completed his mission.
At this time, Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping, who were chased by the plane and almost stuck out their tongues, noticed the vibrations coming from the earth before they could wipe the sweat off their faces.
Both of them turned pale at this time, glanced at each other, and shouted "Run!" in unison, then ignored the plane in the sky, spread their legs, and used all their strength to run toward the plane a few hundred meters away. The forest at the foot of the mountain was running wild.
It's terrible now. I originally wanted to fish, but now I'm afraid I didn't catch the fish. Instead, the fish may have swallowed both my baits.
The cavalry coming was none other than Kuroda Mori's cavalry regiment.
After receiving a call from Colonel Hiraki Sano, Colonel Kuroda Mori, who had been awake almost all night last night, became as energetic as a shot of chicken blood.
For the Japanese army, after the Chinese heavy artillery was safely transferred, the only primary target that could wash away the humiliation of the attack on its own artillery positions became that group of daring Chinese scouts.
Your Excellency, the division commander, specially mobilized reconnaissance planes for this purpose, which shows how much he hates these Chinese scouts.
If we can successfully capture this gang of thieves and the brave Zhina in this arrest operation, it will be a great achievement. His status in the mind of the division commander will naturally be different from the past, and it will have a great influence on his career. It will also add a touch of richness and color.
This is why Colonel Kuroda Mori is so devoted to assisting Colonel Hiraki Sano, who is also at the same level.
Otherwise, how could he, who was born into the noble family of Kuroda Mori, look up to Sano Hiraki, a country bumpkin, and obey his advice?
The Japanese cavalry regiment and the engineer regiment are the only regiment units in the Japanese army that do not have a brigade level.
Due to the characteristics of the arms, the cavalry regiment generally recruits people with rich horse riding experience as commanders. These people are generally from noble backgrounds and have received formal horse riding training since childhood.
The Kuroda Cavalry Regiment has three cavalry squadrons, and the Regiment Headquarters is also directly under a cannon squad and a machine gun squad.
The Japanese army's direct-fire artillery is actually a mortar. It is currently equipped with the Taisho 11-year-old 70mm direct-fire infantry cannon, which weighs only 60 kilograms and has a range of 1,500 meters. It is generally equipped for mountain troops and cavalry troops.
Early this morning, Kuroda Mori's cavalry regiment of nearly 700 troops came out in full force.
Although Sano Pingshu judged that the number of Chinese scouts was not large, because the area that needed to be searched and blocked was relatively vast, Kuroda Mori decided to lead the entire regiment to act together.
Not long after Masato Hirota discovered Zhou Wen and the others, Kuroda Mori's military radio station received a telegram from the rear. So, he regrouped the scattered search troops and galloped towards Qinglong Mountain.
Not long after, when he led the dark cavalry to rush up a high slope, he saw the scene of airplanes swooping and shooting in the distance.
Kuroda Mori was overjoyed, drew his saber, and ordered to the left and right: "Line up the cavalry attack formation, advance at a medium speed, and launch a sprint in the last 500 meters. We want those cunning Naona people to see the military might of the Imperial Japanese Cavalry. .”
After saying that, he put the saber straight against his right shoulder and rode down the hillside.
The cavalry behind him followed his white horse closely, rushing down the hillside neatly in rows and rows, like a torrent advancing side by side.
Suddenly, the earth trembled and dust and smoke rose everywhere.
