"Brigadier, let's withdraw! We can't fight this positional battle!" An officer from the cavalry brigade behind the ridge advised his brigade commander.
The brigade commander shook his head and said after a moment: "Hold on a little longer."
"Can we still count on the New Seventh Brigade?" the officer said again.
"I don't expect the New 7th Brigade. I have to wait for Jiao Ying and his battalion to attack." The cavalry brigade commander looked a little helpless.
His cavalry came and went like the wind. They were originally engaged in guerrilla warfare, but now the superiors asked them to "tie" their horses' legs. This battle was really difficult to fight!
Asking the cavalry to abandon their horses and engage in positional warfare, isn't this the same as tying up the horses' legs?
These are all such blind orders! The cavalry brigade commander sighed silently.
Abandoning the strong points and taking shortcomings to fight the Japanese and puppet troops in this position, there is not even a fortification. As the commander of the cavalry brigade, he is not willing to fight such a battle.
But he had to fight.
He wouldn't talk about someone wiping out all his cavalry in the position.
But you have to hold on for a while, so that not only the faces of their cavalry brigade will look better, but the faces of the entire Northeastern Army will also look better.
"Should Jiao Ying's battalion have reached the impact position, right? This is too slow." The officer muttered again, and then pointed the telescope to the southeast through the cover of the rocks.
Jiao Ying Camp was also the camp where Yang Lianxi, who had been killed earlier, was located.
There were three companies in a battalion, and one of the three companies was killed. Originally, the cavalry brigade commander was the one who asked the battalion to collect the horses from behind.
But just over twenty minutes ago, a soldier reported that Jiao Ying and his battalion had gone around to the southeast of the battlefield. They wanted to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the flanks.
Jiao Ying's behavior is no longer a disobedience to military orders, but an unauthorized act without any military orders at all!
But things had already happened, and the brigade commander thought that it would be good to have an impact like this. The casualties would definitely not be small if they endured like they did now.
At least according to the person who reported it, as Jiao Ying said, charging from the side can take advantage of the cavalry.
And the brigade commander had already thought about it. As soon as Jiao Ying's battalion finished its attack, he would immediately retreat with his cavalry brigade.
A cavalry brigade, a cavalry brigade, is naturally called a cavalry brigade if it has horses.
As the leader of a brigade, he was always worried about the loss of horses, but this time it was good. The cavalry brigade changed to positional warfare and had a lot of horses left. However, his own cavalry who could fight on horseback suffered a lot of casualties. What the hell is this?
The brigade commander was sighing here, and where was the Jiao Ying camp he was talking about?
“Everything is lined up, no one should be exposed.
If anyone is exposed, there is no need for me to kill him. Just strap on a grenade and rush directly to the enemy crowd to commit suicide and serve the country! "Just behind a mountain, the loud-voiced Shandong battalion commander roared again.
And he is Jiao Ying, the battalion commander that Shang Zhen found.
Originally, according to Shang Zhen's original idea, they were already in place and could launch a charge against the Japanese and puppet troops from the flanks.
But when most of the cavalry battalion hid behind a mountain on the flank, Jiao Ying was surprised to find that there was a forest in front of them. With the forest blocking it, they could go back to the back of the current hill. .
And this hill is less than 200 meters away from the battlefield where the enemy and we are fighting endlessly!
Although the hill is not high, it is somewhat long and narrow. It should be able to block the enemy's sight.
However, there happened to be a section of 100 meters without woods, which was easily discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops.
In order to ensure the suddenness and speed of the charge, Jiao Ying asked everyone to dismount, but he led the horses through the gap in the woods.
And that's where they are slow.
"Boy, you're not a good horse rider! Hey, what are you doing?" Jiao Ying said to Shang Zhen while watching the soldiers behind him leading the horse around.
As a cavalryman, Jiao Ying certainly had reason to say that Shang Zhen's riding skills were not very good.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Even though it only took more than ten minutes for Jiao Ying to lead his men around, he knew as soon as he saw the state of Shang Zhen's riding that if Shang Zhen's riding skills were not just average, they could only be called too average!
From his point of view, Shang Zhen's level of riding was just enough to ensure that he would not fall off his running horse.
He doubted it, no, he didn't need to doubt it. When their cavalry began to charge the Japanese and puppet troops, if Shang Zhen dared to hold the flower trap with both hands and shoot at the enemy instead of holding the reins, he would definitely fall off his horse. !
Originally, he admired Shang Zhen's courage to take the initiative to challenge, but this time the horse "slipped" down, he had a new comment on Shang Zhen - his courage is commendable, but his ability is not good!
But now, he was surprised to find that Shang Zhen was already sitting on the horse, and the boy who came with Shang Zhen was using leggings to tie Shang Zhen to the horse!
What kind of tying method? That is to tie Shang Zhen's legs and waist with leggings and the straps on the horse!
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed. If you want to commit suicide, who can help?" At this time, the man who was tying Shang Zhen with a rope couldn't help but muttered. Of course, he was Li Le.
Li Le couldn't stand the excitement of Mr. Wang's presence, so he naturally followed him. Although he regretted it immediately after he said "I'll go too" at that time.
But the words you speak are like splashed water, like the little girl who got married and became a daughter-in-law. If you want to go back to the original state, it is impossible!
At this time, Shang Zhen, who was honestly letting Li Le tie the "rope", glanced at Jiao Ying shyly and smiled sheepishly.
"You think of yourself as a death squad!" Jiao Ying sighed, but then said in a higher voice, "Okay! Boy, you are good enough. As long as I don't die this time, I will remember you!"
Shang Zhen remained silent, holding the flower organ in his hand.
How could Shang Zhen not know the risks of doing this, but he had no other way!
When he was making a detour earlier, he rode his horse and followed the cavalrymen like Jiao Ying. Only then did he realize that when the horse ran faster, his own riding skills were really not enough!
He could also understand that when his hand left the horse's rein, he would definitely fall off the horse!
That's charging into the enemy group and falling off the horse. Even if you don't get thrown, it's impossible to survive.
So you absolutely cannot fall off the horse, so what should you do? Of course that means tying yourself up with the war horse.
Although the war horse was shot and fell, there was no hope of his own survival.
But the two were mutually exclusive, and he still believed that if he was not tied up, he would be more likely to fall off the horse than the horse would be shot!
It can be seen that compared with the cavalry, his riding skills are not that bad!
So what other choice does he have?
"Alright, everyone mount up, use the trap to throw grenades in front, prepare to charge!" Jiao Ying shouted when he saw the last cavalry finally coming over.
He no longer had the time to care about Shang Zhen.
At this time, on the battlefield ahead, the cavalry brigade commander's face had darkened, and he was already planning to retreat.
The offensive of the Japanese and puppet troops was too fierce. The puppet troops were in front and the Japanese troops were behind. There were already hundreds of puppet troops lying at the foot of the hillside. However, under the supervision of the Japanese troops, the puppet troops rushed up desperately.
But by the same token, if the Japanese and puppet troops suffered more casualties, their brigade would suffer more casualties, or even more.
His trip really couldn’t hold on any longer!
