There were only more than 300 Japanese cavalry left, running wildly for half a quarter of an hour. When they saw that there were no pursuers behind them, they slowly slowed down.

This group of Japanese cavalry were all in a miserable state. Not only had they lost the battle, but it was already noon and they were tired and thirsty.

But Kuroshima Morita was thinking about how to report to Commander Shinozuka, how to save his life and make a comeback.

A total of more than 1,000 people of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment were crushed to pieces. These were not infantry, but elite cavalry.

At present, only by letting Akamoto Akira intercede on his behalf with His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp intervenes can he possibly avoid being sent to a military court.

Thinking of this, Kuroshima Morita breathed a sigh of relief, and then he noticed that the cavalry around him were all looking like frost-beaten eggplants, and their military appearance was in disarray.

In order to boost morale, Kuroshima Morita said loudly: "There is an old saying in China that victory and defeat are common affairs of the military. It is just a defeat. Cheer me up. The Japanese Imperial Army is invincible. Black

The Island Cavalry Regiment will never surrender!"

"The captain is right!" Ichiro Higashimura also said, "Don't be discouraged. We have won so many battles, and the Black Island Alliance will never be defeated!"

If Kuroshima and Tomura had said something to boost morale before the battle was defeated, the cavalrymen would have raised their arms and shouted along with them.

But now these Japanese cavalrymen were silent.

For any unit whose morale has been defeated, morale cannot be restored by just a few words. What can restore morale is winning the battle.

After this battle, Kuroshima Morita's authority was challenged. Although the cavalrymen would not say anything, they would still obey his orders, but their expressions showed dissatisfaction.

This is how fighting is, no matter whether your tactical command is appropriate or not, as long as you win, you are awesome and you are a hero.

On the contrary, you are just his bullshit.

Kuroshima Morita naturally noticed this, his expression changed, and a smile that looked uglier than crying appeared on his face.

Kuroshima Morita said: "The Eighth Route Army is not invincible. In my opinion, their commander is very stupid."

"Oh?" Ichiro Higashimura asked, "Your Excellency, Captain, how do you say this?"

Some cavalry officers also looked towards Kuroshima Morita, thinking that the commander of the regiment had thought of some good plan to turn the tables.

"Look at the terrain here." Kuroshima Morita was riding on horseback and pointed at the surrounding terrain.

There is a slope on the left, like a crooked mouth. The terrain is very dangerous. The road passes under the slope, and when you turn a corner, you can roughly see the outline of Yushe County.

"Captain, do you mean that the Eighth Route Army may set up an ambush here?" Ichiro Higashimura asked, "But when we passed this place before, the scouts of the First Squadron had already checked it and there was no Eighth Route Army ambush here."

Kuroshima Morita snorted: "So, I say that the Eighth Route Commander is very stupid. He actually used more than 100 machine guns to deal with the cavalry. If I were the Eighth Route Commander, I would wait for the Imperial Army to pass by, and just use

Placing 50 machine guns here, we will definitely be able to wipe out all of us here, and then go straight to Yushe County. This shows that the Eighth Route Commander has more than enough defense but not enough offense."

"Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, is right." Ichiro Higashimura said, "From this point of view, the Eighth Route Commander is nothing more than this."

Riding on horseback, Ichiro Higashimura turned around and smiled at the cavalrymen: "Don't be discouraged, your Excellency the captain will definitely lead us..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong. He raised his head and looked up. Smoking grenades were raining down on his head like a flock of sparrows.

"There is an ambush!" Ichiro Higashimura's expression changed drastically, "Get out of here quickly!"

Zhang Dabiao had been waiting here for a long time with his temporary submachine gun battalion. When he saw the Japanese cavalry entering the ambush circle, he ordered the fight without hesitation.

The soldiers threw a variety of grenades, including Jin-made wooden handle grenades, border-made grenades, and captured Japanese cantaloupe grenades.

Although the wooden-handled grenades made in the border area are not as good as the melon grenades and Jin-made wooden-handled grenades, they cannot support the large number. In order to increase their power, the soldiers tied four or five wooden-handled grenades together as cluster grenades.

With a burst of booming explosions, the Japanese cavalry on the road were suddenly enveloped in firelight and gunpowder smoke.

The broken limbs of soldiers, horses and Japanese soldiers, and the soil thrown up by the explosion fell down in a shower of blood.

A row of firearms appeared instantly on the top of the hillside, including more than 100 submachine guns and 200 bolt-action rifles. The black muzzles of the guns were pointed at the Japanese cavalry below.

All the rifles and submachine guns fired almost simultaneously, with more than 100 tongues of flame and more than a hundred tongues of flame screaming "ta da da da da".

The barrage of dense bullets, like a downpour, poured crazily towards the Japanese cavalry.

Some Japanese cavalrymen had just recovered from the grenade explosion, their heads were buzzing, and the next moment they were beaten into pieces.

The dense bullets were unreasonable and came with a crackling sound. Each and every Japanese cavalryman was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell down after being shot.

The Japanese cavalry had no intention of fighting, so they hurriedly threw more than 20 melon grenades on the hillside, fired a few shots, and then rushed towards Yushe County, protecting Kuroshima Morita.

"Stop shooting!"

On the slope, watching the Japanese cavalry flee in panic, Zhang Dabiao shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Batalion Commander, why don't you catch up and fuck him?" a soldier asked.

The corner of Zhang Dabiao's mouth curled up slightly: "We have eaten the bait, what else can we use for fishing?"

The soldier raised his submachine gun and slapped his head: "I don't understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand." Zhang Dabiao lost his expression and said loudly, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes!" The soldiers jumped up from the slope with guns in hand and jumped down.

This time, at least 100 more Japanese cavalry were killed, and many military horses were beaten into a hornet's nest.

Kuroshima Morita and the remaining soldiers rode wildly all the way, and finally arrived outside Yushe County.

Not only were the soldiers disgraced, but the faces of Kuroshima Morita and Higashimura Ichiro were also pitch black and very embarrassed.

Seeing the familiar soldiers on the tower, Kuroshima Morita breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had the county seat in his hands.

Kuroshima Morita said proudly: "The commander of the Eighth Route Army is really stupid. If I were to command the Eighth Route Army, when the imperial army's cavalry leaves the county, and when the county's troops are empty, I only need to send a surprise force to capture the enemy."

county seat!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, it's better to enter the city as soon as possible!"

Ichiro Higashimura's face darkened slightly. How long has it been since the captain was still bragging? He was slapped in the face just now and he forgot about it so quickly?

"Enter the city!" Kuroshima Morita waved his hand, and more than 200 cavalrymen rushed toward Yushe County.

After entering the city, before Kuroshima Morita could breathe a sigh of relief, a soldier hurriedly came to report: "Reporting to your Excellency, the captain, a large number of Chinese armed forces have been found around the county town!"
