Chapter 245: Catch up!
Daheishan.
There is a high mountain eighteen miles south of Yushe County. It is so high that you can have a panoramic view of the nearby terrain and roads for dozens of miles.
Near the mountain front is the standard Jindi loess terrain. Mountains composed of exposed rocks and brown land rise one after another. There are yellow patches everywhere. Only where they are preparing to ambush the Black Island Regiment can you see a little green.
"Monk, have you finished the painting?"
Li Yunlong lay on the hillside, looked around, and then looked at Wei Dayong's homework on the map.
Behind him, Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng were lying on their stomachs with a piece of grass in their mouths.
The soldiers of the cavalry company were hiding behind a slope at the foot of the mountain.
"Captain, I'll be there soon."
Wei Dayong squatted on the ground with one knee, picked up the telescope and looked into the distance, then put it down again and used a pencil to scribble on the paper.
Although the terrain here is complicated, you only need to write down a few large mountains and main roads, and then use a sandbox to restore it when you go back.
When Wei Dayong picked up the telescope again and looked towards a road in the direction of Yushe County, his expression suddenly changed.
He put down the paper and pen, quickly adjusted the magnification of the Zeiss telescope, and placed the telescope in front of his eyes again.
In the telescope.
On a road about four miles away, Japanese cavalry, as big as ants, were marching forward at a jog.
Wei Dayong: "Captain, there is a situation!"
"what's the situation?"
Li Yunlong's eyes were focused, he picked up the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Wei Dayong.
Sun Desheng and Zhang Dabiao suddenly stood up. Sun Desheng did not have a telescope, so he could only crowd around Li Yunlong and stare.
But Zhang Dabiao quickly picked up the telescope on his chest and started observing.
"What did you see?" Sun Desheng asked anxiously.
Wei Dayong said: "I found about a hundred Japanese cavalry two kilometers ahead on the left. It seems that they are not carrying heavy weapons."
Li Yunlong suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, this is really God's help. He wants us, Lao Li, to get rich!"
Sun Desheng had an impatient expression on his face, and without caring about anything else, he snatched the telescope from Zhang Dabiao's hand.
Zhang Dabiao: "..."
"Japanese cavalry?" Sun Desheng asked while looking at it, "Where are they?"
After searching for a while, Sun Desheng finally saw the Japanese cavalry, jogging on the road. It looked like they were not coming towards them.
Li Yunlong turned to Sun Desheng and asked: "Our cavalry company has more than 130 people, and the Japanese cavalry only has 100 people. Is Sun Desheng confident that we can win?"
"Captain, don't worry." Sun Desheng said, patting his chest and saying, "If we lose, you can chop off my head, Sun Desheng, with a knife."
Sun Desheng had not participated in a serious battle for a long time, and the soldiers of the cavalry company were holding their breath from top to bottom.
After finally encountering the Japanese cavalry, how could you let go of such a good opportunity to kill the Japanese and make meritorious service?
Li Yunlong thought about it for a moment and then immediately ordered: "Okay, Sun Desheng, I order you to lead the cavalry company and charge forward to eat the enemy's cavalry."
"Yes!" Sun Desheng said, "The cavalry company guarantees to complete the mission!"
After finishing speaking, Sun Desheng jumped up and ran down the mountain at a sprint speed of 100 meters. His speed was so fast that he even brought up a puff of smoke.
"..." Zhang Dabiao, "I'm a telescope."
"Let's go too." Li Yunlong hung the telescope on his chest.
"Commander, let the cavalry company go with us." Zhang Dabiao quickly advised, "You can just watch the show here."
"Get out of the way!" Li Yunlong glared, "I want to kill a few Japanese cavalry to enjoy my life."
With Li Yunlong's glare, Zhang Dabiao didn't dare to say anything for a moment. Li Yunlong was the leader, and Zhang Dabiao couldn't stop him from whatever he wanted to do.
Then, Li Yunlong passed Zhang Dabiao and ran towards the horse at the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Dabiao gave Wei Dayong a bitter smile. Wei Dayong patted Zhang Dabiao on the shoulder and said, "Don't you understand our leader? This is his character. Just protect him."
"I understand." Zhang Dabiao nodded, and then followed closely behind Li Yunlong together with Wei Dayong.
Behind the slope, some of the cavalry company soldiers were holding their horses, some were sitting there and resting, and some were looking at the Yunlong knives in their hands.
Sun Desheng ran over from behind the slope and jumped on his horse in a few steps. The soldiers of the cavalry company turned their heads and looked at Sun Desheng in confusion.
Sun Desheng raised his riding rifle and shouted: "Listen to my order, everyone mounts!"
The soldiers of the cavalry company got on their horses and looked at Sun Desheng quietly. The cavalry rifles were slung on their backs with the butts facing up.
"A hundred Japanese cavalry were spotted four miles ahead. Do you brothers have the confidence to rush forward and kill them?"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
More than a hundred cavalry company soldiers roared at the same time, roaring like wild beasts, and a murderous aura suddenly filled the air.
"very good!"
"In the Independent Regiment, others don't call us the cavalry company, they call us the transport company!"
"Let the other companies of the Independent Regiment take a look. Our cavalry company is the most capable company of the Independent Regiment!"
"Come after me!"
Sun Desheng took the lead in turning his horse's head and rushed towards the main road. The soldiers of the cavalry company followed closely behind Sun Desheng with their rifles raised.
More than a hundred cavalrymen accelerated and ran wildly at the same time, bringing up a cloud of dust.
Wei Dayong, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao ran to the foot of the mountain and happened to see the tail of the cavalry company.
"Damn it, Sun Desheng doesn't know how to wait for me." Li Yunlong cursed, turning around at any time and shouting: "Wei Dayong! Zhang Dabiao!"
"Yes!" Wei Dayong and Zhang Dabiao replied in unison.
Li Yunlong got on his horse and drew out his Yunlong Sword: "Follow me and charge forward to eat the Japanese cavalry!"
"yes!"
This time, there were no guards at all, nor did the Langya team follow. Li Yunlong was only surrounded by Wei Dayong and Zhang Dabiao.
The three of them rode in pursuit of the cavalry company, but they were full of dust behind them.
It took Sun Desheng almost seven or eight minutes to run from the hillside to the foot of the mountain, and then another five or six minutes on horseback to the main road.
When they reached the main road, they saw no Japanese cavalry. Sun Desheng and the soldiers of the cavalry company were all dumbfounded.
Where are the Japanese cavalry?
Sun Desheng rode on his horse and looked around, but still did not see the Japanese cavalry.
This is wrong. I clearly saw the Japanese cavalry on the top of the mountain just now. Why did they disappear just a short while ago?
Could it be that I got it wrong?
Immediately, Sun Desheng put this idea behind him. The regimental commander, Wei Dayong and Zhang Dabiao all saw the Japanese cavalry, and there was no way he could have seen it wrong.
Soon, Li Yunlong and three others caught up on horseback.
As soon as Li Yunlong pulled the reins, the horse stopped next to Sun Desheng and asked: "Sun Desheng, what's going on, where are the Japanese cavalry?"
Sun Desheng did not answer, quickly turned over and dismounted, lay on the ground and listened with his right ear, and made a silence gesture towards Li Yunlong.
"The Japanese cavalry are running at full speed, getting farther and farther away from us, toward the southeast."
After hearing Sun Desheng's words, Wei Dayong picked up his telescope and looked southeast, and saw a small road.
"Commander, look." Wei Dayong pointed out, "the Japanese cavalry must have gone through that path."
