Hu Yi was really scared. How could two legs outrun a four-legged Japanese horse in broad daylight? Even though Tian Sanqi fought fast enough, even though he woke up on the spot and issued a decisive retreat order, even though the Japanese cavalry arrived from the north and south of Shilidang. It would take some time to change the location of the incident and chase westward, but this vast green wasteland seemed endless, but in fact it was just a cage, a cage under the horses' hooves. There was a faint whistle. I reluctantly looked back to the side. On the blue skyline in the southeast, a signal flare was rising high with white smoke. The distant soaring felt beautiful. After flying to the highest point, it drew extremely bright lines in the blue. The graceful arc began to fall slowly. Hu Yi, whose face was covered with sweat, stopped his tired steps, gasped for air, looked helplessly, and subconsciously licked his lips. ??Finally caught up. The nearby Japanese cavalry began to turn here, and further away, new flares flew up to provide position information for the cavalry search group further away. The running Japanese cavalry scattered across a wide range of horizontal intervals began to gather in the same direction. , four horses become eight horses, and eight horses become sixteen horses, and more and more are gathered together, like quicksand. "Why stop?" Qin You looked anxious and hurried to the end of the team to ask Hu Yi. "We have been caught. We need to rest now." Along the way, Hu Yi looked anxious, but now his tone suddenly became so calm. Qin You's heart sank to the bottom unconsciously. Looking back, there was a wave of light floating on the skyline. A wisp of signal smoke was spreading irregularly, and nothing else could be seen. Qin You was unwilling and didn't believe it. "Maybe we can run another ten miles! As long as we grit our teeth, we may be able to get rid of it! Victory may be ten miles away from us!" These words gave the soldiers some strength again, and they stopped unloading their equipment and started to rush. Looking back at the company commander. Hu Yi was unmoved and just scanned the surrounding environment. The team's current stopping position happened to be relatively high. Although the ups and downs were very gentle and not even as good as a hill, at least the view was good. "We can't run anymore. If we keep running, we will lose even the chance to fight. We must rest! We still have some time before the Japanese cavalry is assembled, so let's build a position here." Everyone's instinct is to keep running. , after all, the enemy is still invisible, but Hu Yi knows that the Ninth Company is now locked in the Japs Cavalry's telescope lens. It will be useless no matter how far they run. If they run any further, they will waste their energy in vain and play into the hands of the Japs Cavalry. There was a loud crash, and the armor was crooked. The company commander¡¯s last statement caused the entire ninth company to fall. Everyone gasped and looked up at the dazzling sun. This is a hateful noon. This is a hateful plain. I can¡¯t understand it. Why does everyone say that the plains are the most fertile, so fertile that there are only a few trees, and there are only locusts everywhere, and we can only wait for dark again. In this county to the east of Meixian County, there are indeed not many Japanese troops. The main body is the security force. Because of the emergence of the Qiufeng Guerrilla Brigade, a cavalry squadron was mobilized from nowhere. The results of the security battle were immediate, and the remaining Qiufeng Guerrilla troops were driven in. In Shilidang, no one wanted to attack the swamp. They wanted to wait for the guerrillas to starve to death inside, but as a result, a group of Eighth Route Army troops fell from the sky! With lightning speed, a platoon of unsuspecting puppet soldiers was eaten alive. They couldn't save them and could only watch helplessly. The puppet troops were frightened, but the Japs' eyes lit up. The entire cavalry squadron was dispersed on the spot. Half of the puppet troops surrounding Shilidang were dismantled and chased directly to the west. The cavalry captain also served as the commander-in-chief. The purpose of not mobilizing all the puppet troops was to capture both sides. It was expected that the guerrillas surrounded by Shilidang would not dare to break out during the day, and this day was enough for him to eat up this unknown force before returning. Behind a gentle slope, more than a hundred war horses had gathered. The cavalry captain who had just arrived dismounted from his saddle, handed the reins to the oncoming guard, followed the direction indicated by his subordinate's raised hand, pulled out his telescope and walked quickly up the gentle slope to the west, and asked : "They are still running?" "They stopped there half an hour ago, and they seem to be planning to defend in place." The cavalry captain was a little surprised. In front of the cavalry, the target usually has to struggle until the last moment, so early It is rare for a target to give up hope. Either the target is too mentally fragile or the target is calm enough. Approaching the top of the slope, the cavalry captain lowered his posture, then changed to crawling. He came to the cavalry scout who was observing with a telescope covertly, and also raised the telescope in his hand. Among the slightly undulating green terrain, there is a vague gray figure on a gentle slope, building a temporary position. According to some conspicuous movements, it looks like it is wielding an engineer shovel! He couldn't help but put down his binoculars and looked back and asked, "How long will it take for the security forces to arrive?" "We have already been contacted, maybe it will take half an hour." The captain was silent, calculating the time, and found that the security forces could not start fighting immediately after they arrived, so he frowned. Frowning: "Let a small team go forward. A tentative attack."?I don¡¯t want to see the enemy resting so comfortably! " Not long after, a bird roar came from behind the slope. The Japanese who was twisting and turning in the grass for more than thirty years stood up, took off the steel helmet hanging on the side of the horse and buckled it on his head. With the carbine on the lower shoulder, he skillfully pulled Formation was formed, and the stroll up the slope was officially started The Ninth Company was building a position, and some soldiers were indeed wielding engineering shovels. Although the soil here was not as hard as in the mountains, and the positions were not fully formed, they were still digging their own way. Hu Yi is not divided into southeast and northwest. The position is just a simple three-point layout. If you look at it from a bird's eye view, the distribution of the soldiers in the first row, second row and Chen Chong's platoon looks like three centripetal L-shaped combination patterns. These three L's The small area in the middle is where the third platoon is digging foxholes. The third platoon position is making the fastest progress. With Luo Fugui, who cherishes his life, and Wu Shitou, who is born with the gene for digging holes, it is really loud and clear. Not counting Lao Qin's ability. Ma Liang held up the telescope and kept looking east and south; Xiao Hongying also held up the telescope and kept looking west and north. No one said anything on the battlefield, just staring at the scorching sun. Sweating, digging with shovel after shovel, stabbing with bayonet after bayonet, feeling so depressed that he felt like he was digging a grave for himself. Panting, he dug the engineer's shovel into the soil at his feet. Qin You straightened up and looked at him solemnly. People around me wanted to say something to boost their morale, but they couldn't think of any words now. Hu Yi, the unsatisfactory company commander, actually didn't do any work. He was still lying in the hot midday sun. He is hiding his face in the sun with a straw hat! ¡°Can¡¯t you say something? "Qin You turned to Hu Yi with sweat on his face. Hu Yi didn't move, but he replied: "You, old Qin, already know that you are angry, so there is no need to say anything. " "You" Chi Chi This sudden faint sound seemed like a baby bird chirping nearby. Unfortunately, instructor Qin from the crowd could hear it at the first ear. The sound was more like a chick! Follow the sound and look back , there was only Luo Fugui's satchel, and Luo Fugui next to him also stopped his shovel, and walked over without saying anything, picked up Luo Fugui's satchel and turned it over on the spot, and found a little chicken made of thin wooden sticks. The cage appeared in Qin You's hand: "This it you" Suddenly he looked angry at the bear: "Where did it come from! " The bear was dumbfounded and said: "When I passed by the president's house in Xiangmo Village I did the same I looked at it so pitifully! " "You are a loser! Oops, you're so angry with me" "I'm so tired now that my chest hurts because of the bear's anger. Unfortunately, there isn't even anything that can be used as a vine nearby. I'm so angry that Qin You can only pick it up at his feet. He compared his engineering shovel with his own, and then reluctantly put it down. As an instructor, you couldn't hold it up and shoot him, right? He simply wanted to fight the innocent to the end: "It insists on joining the Eighth Route Army, what can I do? ¡± On this battlefield, the first burst of laughter that could not be suppressed suddenly appeared, and then the second one and the third one were added, and the laughter quickly spread. Only Qin You was still staring blankly. ¡°It¡¯s a pity, laughter. Just as it spread, Ma Liang was heard shouting: "The devil has appeared! southeast! ¡±¡
