Lieutenant Colonel Masao, who had lost his place, suddenly smelled something unusual.

The Yamada team is all elite cavalry. Not to mention dealing with a mere 20 guerrillas, they can easily defeat an Eighth Route guerrilla group of more than 200 people.

If they are ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they can escape quickly even if they are defeated by the cavalry's quick maneuvers.

But after such a long time, not even a single soldier came back to report the news, which seemed very abnormal.

Thinking of this, Yano Masao paused slightly and said to Kuroshima Morita: "Colonel, Yamada team has not come back yet, maybe they are in trouble."

"Nani?"

Kurojima Morita, who was chatting and laughing with Akamoto Akiyoshi, frowned slightly.

"Team Yamada hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes." Yano said, "Your Majesty Colonel, it has been five hours since Yamada team left."

Kuroshima Morita was also a little unable to sit still: "Yano-kun, you personally lead the First Cavalry Squadron to Zhaojiacun to support Yamada's team."

"Hi!" Masao Yano paused and walked out quickly.

"etc!"

Yano Masao turned to look at Kuroshima Morita, and Kuroshima said again: "To be on the safe side, let the 2nd Cavalry Squadron go with you, just say it's my order."

Masao Yano hesitated for a moment, then said "Hi" before walking out.

After Yano Masao left, Kuroshima Morita said to Akamoto Akira with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Your Highness, it is my dereliction of duty that caused His Highness's hand to be injured. If Commander Shinozuka finds out..."

Akamoto Mingyi said: "The injury was caused by my own carelessness and has nothing to do with you, Uncle Kuroshima. Please rest assured that I will not say anything more about this matter to Uncle Shinozuka."

"That's good." Kuroshima Morita breathed a sigh of relief, "I have arranged the car and horse team to escort His Royal Highness back to Yangquan for recovery."

Akamoto Mingyi raised his wrist and looked at it: "It's just a minor injury. There is no need to go back to Yangquan to recuperate. I told you before coming here that I am an ordinary cavalry member of the Kuroshima Regiment. Uncle Kuroshima, will you?"

Are there special arrangements for cavalry and cars to escort ordinary cavalry back to Yangquan to recuperate?"

"this……"

Kuroshima Morita suddenly felt a headache: "Okay, Your Highness, please don't do anything dangerous like this morning. When the Yamada team captures the guerrillas, I will order their heads to be chopped off to vent your anger."

Akamoto Mingyi smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Uncle Kuroshima."

…

About two squadrons of Japanese cavalry, with more than 500 cavalry, set out from the horse farm outside the county town, fully armed and headed straight for Zhaojiacun.

The squadron leader of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron of the Kuroshima Regiment is called Tsumura Takashi. He is a spoiled and arrogant guy. He does not take anyone else in the Kuroshima Regiment except Kuroshima Morita seriously.

More than half an hour later, two cavalry squadrons, which had been galloping all the way, arrived outside Zhaojia Village belatedly.

Looking at the stumps and broken arms on the ground, as well as the corpses with their heads cut off, Masao Yano was so angry that his face turned livid.

"idiot!"

"Who can tell me!"

"What the hell is going on here?"

Lieutenant Tsumura of the Second Squadron and the Japanese cavalry watched this scene and gradually put away the squeamish expressions on their faces.

The heads, broken limbs, and blood stains all over the ground were really visually impactful.

Even the Japanese cavalry, who were killing many people, felt a little shuddering at this moment.

How cruel!

"Squadron leader, Yamada-kun's body was found over there." A Japanese cavalryman rode over to report.

"Come over and take a look." Lieutenant Colonel Yano Masao rode over with an ugly expression on his face.

When he got closer and dismounted, Lieutenant Colonel Yano saw the body of Taro Yamada. The body was easily identifiable as it was wearing a major military uniform.

His back was soaked with blood. It was obvious that he had been shot in the back. Yamada Taro's head was more than half a meter away from his neck.

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Commander Yano got off his horse and slashed with his sword: "Baga! Baga! Baga!"

"Yano-kun, my soldiers told me that Yamada's team was besieged by at least 150 Chinese cavalry. The Chinese cavalry attacked Yamada's team from behind the slope."

Those who died were not his own cavalry, but soldiers of the Japanese Empire. Although Tsumura had a petite and arrogant personality, he couldn't help but feel as if a rabbit had died and a fox had died.

Lieutenant Colonel Yano glanced at the slope with a telescope, and could still see dense horse hoof prints through the telescope.

"You fart, this is impossible!" Lieutenant Colonel Yano said through gritted teeth, "My cavalry are well-trained and all are elites. It is impossible for 150 Eighth Route Cavalry to completely annihilate Yamada's team!"

When Tsumura saw Yano's expression and cold words, his hot face turned cold butt, and he snorted coldly and said no more.

I'm giving you an analysis, but you still don't appreciate it.

Yano added: "The Yamada team must have fallen into the Eighth Route Army's trick and been besieged by at least one cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army, so they were all shattered!"

The Black Island Cavalry Regiment belongs to the 4th Brigade. The cavalry are all well-equipped and well-trained elites.

Unless he saw it with his own eyes, Yano would never believe that 150 Chinese Eighth Route Cavalry could completely annihilate Yamada's team.

In his understanding, Team Yamada can escape even if they face a sneak attack and are defeated!

A soldier with a rifle on his back came galloping over on horseback: "Report to the squadron leader that the villagers of Zhao Village have disappeared. The bodies of Zhao Qiang's family were found at the entrance of the village, and there is no one in the nearby villages."

With a dark face, Yano had no choice but to order: "Bring back the body of the Yusha soldier."

"Hi!"

…

"idiot!"

"Is the entire Yamada team in pieces?"

At the headquarters of the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment in Yushe County, Kuroshima Morita was shocked when he received the news.

Then he overturned the table, drew out his samurai sword, and angrily chopped the table into several pieces.

There were actually Eighth Route Cavalrymen who dared to openly ambush the elite cavalry squad of the Empire of Japan during the day within 20 kilometers of Yushe County.

Moreover, they were all wiped out!

This is simply a disgrace to the Black Island Cavalry Regiment.

Last time, a dozen or so checkpoint cavalry were killed, which was nothing.

But this time, an entire cavalry squad was destroyed, and Kuroshima Morita couldn't hold it back anymore.

Captain Taro Yamada was beheaded by the Eighth Route Army.

"Check it for me!"

"Which cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army did it?"

"I will cut them into pieces!"

Kuroshima Morita narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

A cavalry boy was ambushed and wiped out before his eyes, yet he was actually helpless against the Eighth Route Army. This was obviously several times more serious than an attack on a checkpoint.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will be a light matter to be scolded by Commander Shinozuka.

It will even leave a bad impression in front of Prince Akamoto Akihiro, which will have a great impact on his career.

"Hi!" The staff officer paused, then bowed his head and retreated.

Kuroshima Morita lowered his head and looked at the dripping tapes around Yushe County hanging on the wall, frowning and lost in thought.
Chapter completed!
