At this moment, countless heart-stopping screams suddenly came from the sky.
Li Shouxin felt despair rising in his heart.
It's exactly what you're afraid of, the opponent's shells are coming.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
Dozens of cannonballs exploded in the infantry queue, countless flames and black smoke rose, and countless howls of ghosts and wolves echoed in the sky.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
The first wave of explosions had not stopped for a few seconds, and the second wave of explosions followed.
At this time, the fleeing cavalry of the puppet army followed the cannonballs and rushed in front of the infantry. As if they had already discussed it with the artillerymen of the mercenary regiment, they rushed into their own ranks almost stepping on the impact point of the cannonballs. , the enemy and we actually staged a coordinated artillery and cavalry battle with the most tacit cooperation.
At this time, these puppet cavalry had been killed and wounded more than 100 people by their own people. They had long been filled with hatred and just wanted to rush through the infantry queue as soon as possible and then escape.
As for those who were killed and injured, that's none of my business. I didn't see you hotheads showing any concern for our previous friendship just now, and you didn't show any mercy, right?
The puppet infantry were in dire straits. The artillery shells were being thrown down one after another indiscriminately, while the own cavalry was running rampant in the queue, not caring about the life or death of the people. There was nowhere else to go at this time. There is no battle formation at all.
Just when the puppet infantry were in dire straits, Li Shouxin, who was already a little panicked, suddenly saw countless black spots suddenly appearing on the horizon in the distance.
Gradually, these black dots became a black line.
"It's the enemy's cavalry!"
Li Shouxin's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave.
In this case, he knew that he was defeated, and the only question left was how to escape.
I saw that the enemy cavalry in the distance did not charge on horseback. Instead, they began to form a neat cavalry queue seven or eight hundred meters away and walked forward slowly. Behind them, another line of cavalry quickly appeared. The second row of the line, then the third row.
It is this seemingly unhurried forward speed, but it is like a sharp arrow hanging in the air, constantly oppressing the entire battlefield space and oppressing the hearts of all the puppet soldiers.
"Quick, let the artillery fire!"
Amidst the continuous explosions, Li Shouxin screamed in a somewhat uncontrollable voice.
"Commander, the two mountain cannons have been blown over. Let's run." The adjutant's panicked voice sounded in Li Shouxin's ears.
"It exploded? Can't fire?" Li Shouxin's last bit of luck quietly slipped away from his heart.
He stared blankly at the battlefield with flames rising and corpses strewn everywhere, muttering to himself in confusion.
At this time, his adjutant quickly winked at several personal guards, and immediately one of the personal guards came over and grabbed the reins of Li Shouxin's horse, pulling the still stunned commander to turn around and leave.
Seeing that the situation was not good, several puppet army officers quickly mounted their horses and ran back with Li Shouxin's personal guards.
As soon as the official ran away, the already disoriented puppet infantrymen became like ants on a hot pot, scurrying around without knowing the direction.
At this time, Miaohua, who was standing in the center of the first row of cavalry, looked at the puppet troops that had been completely scattered in the distance, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but her handsome and cold and arrogant face showed Gujing Fubo, and she did not issue any orders. The order to charge.
Next to him is the newly established cavalry company of the mercenary regiment, 96 high-spirited cavalrymen.
After more than a month of training, the energy and spirit of these cavalry are now very different. Moreover, during this period of time, Miaohua only took them to train and study, and did not let them participate in any battles. They themselves also felt uncomfortable.
At first, veterans like Delentai just felt reassured and grateful.
After all, the new owner did not regard them as cannon fodder. Their treatment was as impartial as other troops. There was no distinction between direct relatives. Moreover, others fought at the front, while the cavalry company was always in a safe position without any combat missions. Of course, There is no danger.
But the longer they joined the mercenary group and the more battles they saw, the leaders of the cavalry companies Delengtai, Zhang Da, and He Laohei felt a little uncomfortable.
why?
From the perspective of these veterans of the old army, eating other people's food and taking other people's money naturally means working for them. This is a matter of course.
But they provide you with good food and drink, and give you good horses and guns, but they don't use you. Doesn't this mean that they still don't trust you?
Another one, they are all men with eggs, why should they let others fight and bleed at the front, while you, the big men, are all being protected like chickens? Not to mention that you can't hold your head up in front of others, but you also feel a little ashamed in your heart, right?
The key is that these cavalrymen all followed their superiors as puppet soldiers out of ignorance, and were prisoners of the mercenary group. They were born shorter than the other brothers in the mercenary group. Later, through study and education, I finally understood what the feelings of family and country are and what national justice is. Naturally, I felt even more ashamed of my previous actions.
The more I feel like this, the more I want to prove myself again.
I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it. Now that I know it, I naturally have to show the courage of a real man.
Even if it means death, I have to prove that I am not a coward, but a dignified man.
Therefore, when they heard that the cavalry company was going to lead the charge, Delengtai and the others had already been gearing up to prepare for a big fight, to show their talents in front of the new owner and prove their worth.
What's more, this battle was the first time the mercenary group showed its full strength in front of them.
This kind of violent machine gun firepower, this kind of intensive artillery strikes, this kind of superb cooperative combat capability, not only have I seen it, but I have never heard of it.
While these veterans were stunned, they also felt a sense of pride and belonging.
Now I am also a member of this elite unit. From now on, in front of anyone, I can hold my chest high and say: "I am a cavalry member of the Central Party Headquarters Teaching Corps."
"What? You don't know? Then you are quite uneducated. You can't read a newspaper, right? That's the heroic army that killed tens of thousands of little Japs and also killed a lot of their lieutenant generals and major generals."
When I grow old in the future, I will have something to brag about to my children and grandchildren.
Therefore, now standing in the first row, the 96 cavalrymen, except Miaohua, are all full of pride and momentum.
Today, they have to prove that they are men with eggs.
Today, they want to prove in front of thousands of brothers in the mercenary group that they are not cowards or cowards. Just like them, they are also heroes who are willing to face death.
However, seeing that the enemy's formation was in chaos, and it was time to rush forward and kill everyone, instructor Miaohua did not give the command to charge.
Although these cavalrymen were as anxious as if they were on fire, no one dared to say a word.
