The reason why Wang Lao Mao did not fire was because he was worried that the Japanese soldiers in front would hear the shooting and become suspicious.
But in order to save Mr. Wang, Shang Zhen finally shot.
However, what Mr. Wang was worried about did not happen. The reason was that just moments after Shang Zhen fired, they heard the sound of "holes and holes" of heavy machine gun fire from the other side of the mountain.
When everyone looked up to the other side of the mountain, they saw that the Japanese plane had already dived down.
Seeing this situation, Shang Zhen and the others felt their hearts tightening. Of course they understood what this situation meant. They thought that when Shang Zhen and the others dealt with the Japanese armored vehicles, they suffered heavy casualties, but now the cavalry company encountered the Japanese army. of aircraft strafing.
But if they are just running away, how can they be willing to do so? Since they are here, they have to take a look after all.
The horses and carriages all started running. When they rushed to the relatively high hill in front, Shang Zhen casually said, "Leave a few people to watch the carriages and horses," and then he ran towards the top of the hill.
As soon as he ran, everyone behind him naturally followed.
When Shang Zhen reached the top of the mountain, he looked down condescendingly, and with just one glance, Shang Zhen's heart dropped.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft that had dived down was pulling up, and was "flailing" its wings and flying away into the distance.
There is no doubt that in the short time before Shang Zhen and the others rushed here, the Japanese aircraft had finished strafing.
The scenery ahead was no different from other places, except that some horses and people fell sparsely and chaotically on the white snow.
Shang Zhen glanced at it for a moment, and his heart went from being cold to the point of being extremely cold!
There were no gray figures standing on the snow, they were all lying down on the snowy road.
On the contrary, although there were some khaki figures lying down in the snowy fields, there were still more than 20 Japanese soldiers riding on the road with their backs facing them about 200 meters away.
There is no doubt that the battle is over. The Japanese army is going to clean up the battlefield. The cavalry company is finished!
Obviously, the cavalry company finally fought back when it was chased to the end by the Japanese army.
But God's calculations were not as good as those of man. A Japanese plane came from the sky to assist in the battle, and the cavalry company was defeated by the Japanese plane.
To fight or not to fight? At this moment Shang Zhen hesitated.
If they were to fight, the number of Japanese troops would not be very large, and their backs would be turned to them.
But the problem is that these two hundred meters are a bit far.
Shang Zhen and the others came in a hurry from the carriage to the top of the mountain. Although they all had weapons in their hands, there were six or seven of them like Shang Zhen, and all they had in their hands were flower traps or box cannons.
This kind of melee weapon would definitely not work if it hits Japanese troops more than 200 meters away.
The firepower of the remaining rifles alone was not enough, but they didn't even have a machine gun.
But if they don't fight, they will need to turn around and go back, or ambush the Japanese troops returning from cleaning the battlefield.
But if they ambush the Japanese cavalry, they have to wait. If the Japanese army comes after them at this time, what will they do? For a moment, Shang Zhen hesitated.
"Let's fight!" Hu Zhuzi said next to him.
Shang Zhen was speechless.
When Hu Zhuzi opened his mouth to speak again, Mr. Wang scolded him: "Do you have any rules? Is this the time for you to speak?"
Although there are not many people in Shang Zhen's group now, Shang Zhen is also a commander. When the commander decides whether to start a battle, how can he let the people below casually disturb him?
Wang Laomao was originally a platoon leader. Of course he understood that there were many factors that Shang Zhen had to consider whether to fight at this time.
Hu Zhuzi could only pout after being scolded, and Shang Zhen continued to frown, but at this moment, they heard a sudden gunshot, and in the gunshot, they saw the horse riding forward. One of the Japanese soldiers who was walking fell off his horse.
When Shang Zhen and the others took a closer look, they saw the advancing Japanese troops, some of them with guns raised.
"It's at the carriage!" Little Dustpan shouted with his eyes pointed.
Yes, Shang Zhen had already seen it. The carriage of the cavalry company was parked more than a hundred meters in front of the Japanese army, and someone beside the carriage was shooting at the Japanese army with a gun!
It seems that in the battle with the Japanese army, some people in the cavalry company survived after being strafed by Japanese aircraft.
"Fight!" Shang Zhen shouted.
This time Shang Zhen didn't hesitate at all. If there was no living soldier, Shang Zhen might not really want to fight this battle, but since there are still people on the other side, let's fight, otherwise the soldier will be killed by the Japanese army. Killing him takes place in an instant.
Naturally, all the guns of Shang Zhen and others had been pointed at the Japanese army, but as Shang Zhen had just thought, all they could shoot at the Japanese army were those rifles.
There were more than a dozen rifles in total. In Shang Zhen's shout, it was a platoon gun. In this platoon gun, several more Japanese soldiers were shot and fell off their horses. Then the gunfire became Be sparse.
Because the range of the flower trap and box cannon was too close, not only Shang Zhen did not take action, but others also did not take action.
However, to Shang Zhen's expectation, gunshots also rang out from the bottom of the mountain.
Shang Zhen looked back and saw that Ma Houhou and other cavalrymen who had stayed behind were also shooting at the Japanese army.
At this time, the man from the cavalry company beside the carriage became the key to this battle. Because of his sudden appearance, the Japanese army was blocked. Now that Shang Zhen and the others were able to shoot from behind, the Japanese army was attacked from both sides.
Originally, there were not many Japanese cavalrymen left. It is estimated that the remaining Japanese cavalrymen panicked when they saw their companions falling off their horses, so the remaining Japanese cavalrymen rushed forward one after another.
"Let's get on the carriage quickly with the short ones!" Shang Zhen shouted and turned around and ran down the mountain.
The Japanese army really couldn't hold on any longer. By the time Shang Zhen and others rushed forward with their carriage, the remaining Japanese cavalry had already run further and further away.
But when Shang Zhen and the others arrived at the carriage on the road in a carriage, they saw that the soldier beside the carriage had also been killed. He was hacked to death by the Japanese cavalry with a saber.
What shocked Shang Zhen was that the soldier's eyes were still open, and the eyes that had lost their luster seemed to be shining with unyielding and resistance.
"Don't be afraid, really don't be afraid, sometimes you can survive without fear of death." Shang Zhen muttered to himself as he looked at the soldier.
He seemed to be persuading the soldier who had just died in battle, and he seemed to be speaking to everyone in the cavalry company that had been wiped out by the Japanese army.
"Okay, it's all over, one more time to go through hell!" Mr. Wang patted Shang Zhen on the shoulder and said.
Mr. Wang is over forty this year. He is twice as old as Shang Zhen and is still a little old.
As a veteran, he undoubtedly understood Shang Zhen's mood at this moment.
"Everyone, hurry up and get on the road! Hurry up and get on the road!" After Wang Laomao comforted Shang Zhen, he shouted again, "Ma Houhou, you guys keep riding! Who asked you to get on the carriage?"
Old Mao Wang shouted this, of course, because he saw that Ma Hou and others had abandoned their horses and got into the carriage, which was the carriage left by the cavalry company.
But at this time, when Old Mao Wang shouted, the people on Ma Hou started to exchange glances, and even muttered something in a low voice.
"Hey (ái), why don't you guys move anywhere?" Mr. Wang was unhappy.
At this time, Ma Hou ran over from the carriage. He just said three words to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang's eyes lit up.
Shang Zhen and the others walked into the distance again, but they did not notice that there were several people on horses on the distant hills watching them leave.
Those few people were wearing khaki military uniforms, but they were the remaining Japanese cavalry that they had defeated earlier.
