This cavalry company did not discover the Japanese army, but their failure to discover the Japanese army does not mean that the Japanese security forces did not discover them.
Just as they were moving forward, the Japanese lookout post discovered their cavalry unit heading towards Chifeng.
The reason why the Japanese security posts did not take action was because they had already used semaphores to signal the rear.
The Chinese army that came was cavalry, and of course the Japanese army knew that if they faced such cavalry, they had to hit them hard, otherwise they would turn around and run away, but they would not be able to catch up.
So at this time, the Japanese cavalry from behind had also come up, and the Japanese sentries had already seen the galloping shadows of their own cavalry.
Yes, at this time, due to Hu Zhuzi's recklessness, Shang Zhen and others discovered that Chifeng was occupied.
From the messy situation of the cavalry company on Shang Zhen's side to Li Yicai starting to yell that it was bad, all of them, without exception, appeared in the telescope of a Japanese officer.
In this situation, of course the Japanese officer judged that the Chinese army was going to escape, so they had no choice but to shoot.
Why they didn't fire at the beginning was because they discovered Li Yicai's cavalry company. Otherwise, do you think the Japanese army would let those civilians flee Chifeng?
"Brother Li, Li——" Mr. Wang, who jumped down from his horse and squatted next to Li Yicai, just shouted once and then stopped.
The Japanese army's marksmanship is as accurate as ever! The bullet penetrated Li Yicai's head directly.
It is said that the word "fate" was formed after Buddhism was introduced to China, and Wang Laomao and Li Yicai, a fellow villager, really only had a one-sided relationship, and then Li Yicai was killed in battle.
But how could Mr. Wang be in the mood to sigh at this moment? , he reached out and took off Li Yicai's cannon box and bullet bag and jumped back into the carriage.
At this time, the carriage they were riding in had turned around, and the troika in front had also turned around.
The cavalry should be the fastest to make a U-turn, but the U-turn of those cavalry was not smooth, because the Japanese machine guns had already started firing, and the bullets were fired in the direction of the cavalry in front, and the horses were standing still. , the frightened horse kicked into the air, the cavalry was thrown off the horse, and was completely in a mess.
The reason why this happened was because the officer responsible for guarding the Japanese army also understood that no matter how fast the carriage ran, it could not outrun a single war horse. So why didn't they choose the faster one to fight first? And those carriages that run slowly can become the targets of the cavalry that have already rushed over.
Originally, this kind of security did not require an officer like him to show up in person, but the problem was that the Japanese army had just occupied Chifeng, and he was leading the team to dispatch and arrange security posts!
Everything seems to be destined by heaven. If it weren't for his telescope, Li Yicai's cavalry company might be in less danger.
However, at this time, the number of Japanese security posts was finally reduced. The four-horse carriage turned around, and the cavalry also followed. Amidst the sound of horse hooves, they fled into the distance.
Mr. King Shang Zhen and others were all lying on their carriages, pulling on the carriage board with their hands. However, due to the jolting of the carriage, they still felt that their stomachs were about to be knocked out.
The soldier in charge of driving the cart was even more anxious. He had to whip up his horse to urge the horse, so every time the cart rushed over a ditch, his body would fly up, and then he would sit down again!
But if this is the case, if you can escape with your life, it will be worth suffering these crimes.
However, no matter how fast the carriage ran, it was still not as fast as the bullets of the Japanese army. In the end, a soldier driving the carriage fell off the carriage amidst the gunfire.
Who could care whether he was alive or dead at this time? A soldier crawled over next to him and urged his horse forward.
The horse whip has also fallen to the ground, so let's hit the horse's butt with the butt of the gun.
Amidst the shouts of the people and the neighing of the horses, their team finally fled far away, but at this time the cavalry following them started shouting again.
With the whining wind in his ears, Shang Zhen didn't understand what the cavalry were shouting at first, but when the carriage turned a corner, he saw another group of Japanese cavalry chasing after him!
Fortunately, this time, people like him were riding in the front of the carriage, so they no longer had to be cannon fodder for others. Shang Zhen was somewhat thankful in his heart.
Their carriage was originally the last one, but now it turned around and became the first one.
But Shang Zhen's rejoicing was not over yet. At this moment, he saw that the cavalry company commander had already urged his horse to pass their carriage, but he shouted: "The three carriages in front of me, get on the left road for me." !”
On the bumpy carriage, Shang Zhen turned his head hard, and then he noticed that there was a fork in the road ahead.
broken! Zhang Zhen thought to himself that he had just finished mumbling that he no longer needed to be cannon fodder, and it seemed that this cannon fodder would not be able to escape.
Why should the troika run away from another road instead of going back the same way? There is no doubt that this is a strategy to divide the troops and let the Japanese cavalry behind them divide their troops to chase!
At this time, it was not just Shang Zhen who felt something was wrong. Ma Houhou, who was riding with Shang Zhen, also felt something was wrong. He pulled his neck and shouted, with a trembling voice: "Company Commander!"
It's just that he is just an ordinary soldier. What's the use of calling him company commander? Even calling him ancestor doesn't work. All officers use the casualties of a small number of soldiers to preserve the safety of large units!
The company commander shouted, and at the same time he took out his box of cannons on the horse, which undoubtedly means that if you dare to disobey the order, you will be punished on the spot now!
Amidst the sound of horse hoofbeats, the soldier driving the carriage had no choice but to shout "hold" and "hold" to drive the carriage onto the side road. When Shang Zhen looked again, he saw that the three carriages were all on the side road. The fourth carriage ran from the main road, followed by dozens of cavalry as if escorting them.
"Company commander, you can't let us go!" the horse monkey was still shouting on the carriage.
"Call me a ****!" Mr. Wang said foul language again, "Even if you call him daddy now, he won't take you away!"
At this time, on the carriage, Shang Zhen knew that it was a fact that they were regarded as abandoned children, and he could only observe the Japanese cavalry behind based on the current situation.
Since they had now run down the main road, without the cavalry blocking them, Shang Zhen watched the chasing Japanese cavalry very carefully.
But he only looked at it for a moment before he couldn't help but sneer.
There were a lot of Japanese cavalry, and the horses' hooves plowed up the snow on the road. But it was not like Shang Zhen had never dealt with the Japanese cavalry. Now he found that the Japanese cavalry was only thirty or forty people.
With such a small amount of troops, who are you trying to scare?
