The war horses galloped, and the earth trembled in the iron hooves. The cavalrymen waved their sabers on the war horses and directly drove the Japanese and puppet troops back.
"Rush forward! Bite them! Don't let the enemy shoot!" an officer shouted on horseback.
On the battlefield, soldiers are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but officers must maintain a clear consciousness.
The cavalry officer knew very well that if they separated from the puppet troops they were chasing, they would be shot by light and heavy machine guns!
The impact of the cavalry was effective, and hundreds of puppet soldiers were submerged in the torrent of cavalry.
At this time, there was a group of people running desperately behind the galloping horses. The one running at the front was Shang Zhen.
Shang Zhen ran very fast, and he didn't say hello to anyone as he ran forward.
But his people and Li Le all followed. No one asked what Shang Zhen was doing and there was no time to ask, but they could guess it.
Because Shang Zhen descended the hill and rushed directly to the slightly higher mountain in front, which was where Yang Chuanxi had been holding firm previously.
And when Shang Zhen ran to the top of the mountain, he saw the piles of corpses lying on the top of the mountain.
ten minutes? fifteen minutes? Shang Zhen and the others couldn't remember clearly.
They just withdrew from this mountain and ran to the hill behind. Then they threw air burst bombs at the American troops who rushed up.
Then the cavalry brigade appeared, and the puppet troops began to retreat.
But in just a few minutes, among Yang Chuanxi's more than 100 people, only about 20 people were still standing or squatting.
Shang Zhen saw several soldiers gathering together. When he separated the soldiers, he saw the face of the man who had been turned over.
A blood hole appeared on his left forehead, and the blood had stained half of his face red, but Shang Zhen knew that he was Yang Chuanxi, and Yang Chuanxi had been killed in battle.
This is war.
During the war, although there were company commanders like Wang Qingfeng who were greedy for life and afraid of death, more grassroots commanders still took the lead and fought with the soldiers, so their death rate was quite high.
Shang Zhen saw that Yang Chuanxi's mouth was slightly open and his eyes were not closed, but the injured eye was blurred by blood.
Shang shook his hand. He wanted to close Yang Chuanxi's eyelids, but at this moment a soldier next to him suddenly said: "Don't touch our company commander, you cowards!"
The soldier's words made Shang Zhen's body tremble, and so did Mr. Wang and the others who caught up behind him.
When Shang Zhen and the others looked at the soldier, they saw the soldier's sad and angry face.
Are Shang Zhen and the others cowards? Maybe yes maybe not. They were all silent, and no one tried to argue with the soldier.
At this time, a question lingered in Shang Zhen's mind, were we wrong? Is our mistake just that we didn't die together with Captain Yang?
But Shang Zhen would never question the soldier in return. He couldn't explain such a topic!
"Which department are you from?" A voice asked from behind.
Shang Zhen turned around and saw several officers standing behind him.
The military uniforms of cavalry officers are not very different from those of soldiers, but cavalry officers all wear riding boots.
"Sir, we are from the New 7th Brigade!" At this time, Li Le, who was standing behind, replied loudly.
The officer who asked the question frowned. Just when he was about to say something, all of them heard a sudden burst of gunfire in front of them, and the sound of heavy machine gun fire among the gunfire was particularly shocking.
"Hurry up and move all our machine guns and heavy machine guns to this hill, and order the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion to detour to the right to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from attacking!" the officer ordered.
Then he hurriedly glanced at Yang Chuanxi's body lying on the ground and asked, "A member of our cavalry?"
"Report to the brigade commander, he is Yang Chuanxi, commander of the third company of the second battalion of the first regiment." A soldier next to him reported.
Only then did Shang Zhen and the others know that the commander of the cavalry brigade had come up in person.
"Quickly find a place for him to bury him in peace." said the brigade commander.
But then he felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he added, "Maybe letting him be buried now is the highest treatment."
What the brigade commander said made Shang Zhen and the others tremble in their hearts.
Of course they understood what the brigade commander meant.
The battle is destined to be tragic. If they stand up to the Japanese attack here, I am afraid that most of them will die without a burial place or be glutted in the wilderness without having time to bury them.
In this way, Yang Chuanxi was lucky to be buried after being killed in battle.
And, this is war!
Just when the cavalry brigade commander was about to say something more, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves in front. When they looked forward, they saw their cavalry retreating like a tide.
It's just that although the cavalry went out like a tide and came back like a tide, Shang Zhen and the others also saw that the cavalry had been reduced. What's more, there were even dozens of them behind the cavalry brigade that were gone. The owner's horse.
There is no need to ask what happened. Even a soldier can figure it out. This is a mountainous area after all, and it is not a place for cavalry to rush around at will. The cavalry that just chased out must have been blocked by the Japanese and puppet troops.
No matter how fast the horse runs, no matter how majestic it is, it cannot withstand the enemy's bullets.
"Your people are behind." At this time, the cavalry brigade commander glanced at Shang Zhen and the others and said coldly, and then ignored them.
Mr. Wang, who was standing behind, reached out and pulled Shang Zhen, and then they all walked down the mountain in unison.
Although the brigade commander didn't say anything, he probably heard his soldiers accusing Shang Zhen and the others of being cowards.
He is a brigade commander who relies on his status and won't say anything to Shang Zhen and the others. If they are still here, it would be too insightful.
This mountain is the commanding height of the right wing of the Eighth Tower. The brigade commander will definitely command the battle here. This will also become the focus of contention between the enemy and ourselves. So, these people who did not originally belong to this army are still here. What to do?
Shang Zhen and his group walked down in silence.
At this time, the cavalry retreating from the front ran past them.
They looked at the horses again. Some of them were bleeding and limping when they ran. It seemed that they had been shot. But this was lucky. How many people and horses could not run back?
"Jiujiu went to join the army, and his body was returned wrapped in horse leather. Alas." Chen Hanwen muttered and sighed, but it added a pinch of salt to the wounds of Shang Zhen and others who were already depressed.
