Chapter 2118 Being Tracked
At first, there were more than 200 Japanese cavalrymen, and about 100 were killed by the people of Shang Zhenying using the method of firepower staggered blocking. When the remaining Japanese soldiers rushed to the village from both sides around the small hills, half of them were killed by Wu Duo and his men, leaving only dozens of them.
Those Japanese cavalrymen were also frightened at the time and naturally urged their horses to flee far away.
And now, since the Japanese infantry battalion has come up, those cavalrymen naturally ran out again.
"We have to fight again, our footprints!" Qian Chuan'er shouted.
This is no longer Qian Chuan'er's worry, but the Japanese cavalry will definitely find their footprints.
Although the temperature has risen, the snow on the ground is also melting, but it has not melted completely. There are footprints on the snow and on the mud. The Japanese cavalry will definitely find them by following the footprints.
Or this possibility cannot be ruled out. When they were retreating, the Japanese cavalrymen were watching from a distance.
Now it's not scary if these Japanese cavalry catch up, but if they lure a large group of Japanese soldiers over, it will be difficult for them to get away!
"I will lead a squad to block the Japanese cavalry, Chen Hanwen, you take the rest of the people into the woods in front, just to lead the Japanese over." Chu Tian ordered.
But at this time Ma Tianfang shouted: "Uncle Wang, why are you sitting up?"
Yes, Wang Laomao, who was lying on the stretcher, was sitting up with a grin!
"Help me up, I'll see the terrain, don't let me talk too much!" Wang Laomao said angrily.
To say that Wang Laomao is just in pain everywhere now, his whole body has been beaten by Zhao Tieying's men, but it's just pain, of course he knows that it hasn't reached the point of breaking bones.
This kind of pain is hard to bear when nothing happens, but this time it involves the life and death of everyone, so he must bear it!
"Don't go to the big woods in the distance, that's the small woods in front, let's lead the Japanese over." Wang Laomao said.
"Why?" Chu Tian didn't understand.
There are two woods in front of their location now, one is a little to the right and the other is a little to the left.
Chu Tian's original intention was to let Chen Hanwen and Wang Laomao run farther away, to the large woods, so that even if the Japanese army sent people to chase them, Wang Laomao and his men would have plenty of time to run away.
But Wang Laomao meant to run to the small woods nearby.
He couldn't figure out why Wang Laomao wanted to go to the small woods, it would be easy for the Japanese army to entangle him!
And Wang Laomao then answered his confusion: "There are only so few people left, if you want to run, run together, if you want to die, die together!"
No one present thought that Wang Laomao actually thought so, and they looked at each other for a while.
"Are you all looking at me? Action!" Wang Laomao said loudly.
This time, his voice was very loud. His cheeks were pierced by Zhao Tieying's men with a small wooden stick. Now, when he spoke, the wound was naturally affected, and he grimaced in pain again.
Seeing Wang Laomao's determination, Chu Tian wanted to persuade him.
If we talk from a rational point of view, Wang Laomao's method is not safe. Although they are now more than 60 people, there are still many people. But if we use the strength of a squad to cover the remaining 50 people, or even sacrifice this squad to allow the more than 50 people to escape, it is also reasonable.
In battle, isn't it about the battle loss ratio? Using the minimum casualties in exchange for the maximum degree of preservation is the right thing to do!
But Wang Laomao said that everyone should die together. Is Uncle Wang really old? People become soft-hearted when they get old?
Before Chu Tian could finish his words, Liu Keqiang said, "I think it's okay. Listen to Uncle Wang and take action!"
"That's right, let's die together! Sissy, the Japanese cavalry is not idle!" Hu Zhuzi shouted.
It's hard to say whether the first half of Hu Zhuzi's words are right, but the latter part is definitely right.
"Hula", everyone started to move.
This time, the people who stayed behind to block the enemy were Liu Keqiang and his squad.
"Those with 20 shots should fire continuously first, try to knock down more people, and then you can use rifles, dozens of Japanese cavalry are not to be feared!
You use rifles to shoot the distant ones, and leave the nearby Japanese for me." Liu Keqiang said, and began to assemble his second 20-shot box gun, that is, to connect the box gun with the wooden box gun.
Now Liu Keqiang has two 20-shot guns.
One is a German-made 20-shot box gun.
The other is made in China.
He will use the domestic 20-shot gun for continuous firing, and then use the German original gun for short bursts.
As for the domestically made gun, he didn't plan to use it again after he finished shooting it.
The reason was that the domestically made gun had some minor problems, and the gun could no longer be disassembled.
Whether it was a rifle or a pistol, if you wanted to keep the gun in good firing condition, you had to disassemble it and oil it from time to time.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the Northeast Army was not a poor, three-gun, local Eighth Route Army. Liu Keqiang really didn't care about such a 20-shot box gun.
Read the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_bar published this novel for the first time.
He was afraid that the gun would fail at a critical moment and get stuck or explode.
Before the September 18 Incident, Liu Keqiang was already a company commander and had not been promoted in these years. At that time, he knew an engineer from the Fengtian Arsenal and asked why the domestically made guns were not as good as the original foreign ones.
He still remembers what the engineer said.
The engineer said that our domestic arsenal could definitely make a 20-shot rifle, not to mention whether it was complicated or not.
They gave us the blueprints and asked us to produce it. There was nothing wrong with our machinery for making the gun, but why couldn't it be as good as the original one?
That was because of the lack of a scientific and rigorous attitude.
The gun was made, and the outside was as smooth as the foreign ones, and the bullets could be fired.
But the problem was that the inside of the gun was not smooth, and a burr or something would affect the accuracy of shooting and continuous use.
In fact, the Japanese cavalry was still far away, and Liu Keqiang was inevitably distracted.
But at this time, a soldier whispered: "See, there are Japanese cavalry running towards the Japanese brigade in front, and they are obviously reporting the news!"
As soon as the soldier made a noise, Liu Keqiang also looked into the distance.
Isn't it true? The snow had just melted not long ago. Under the white "background", it was obvious that there were Japanese soldiers acting alone. And even if you couldn't see clearly, you could guess that it was the Japanese cavalry. It was impossible for people to run so fast with just two legs.
Then the soldier's speculation was very reasonable. The Japanese cavalry must have discovered that the people in their camp were moving far away and sent someone to report the news.
The footprints on the snow became the clues of both the enemy and us. As they thought, even if the Japanese army didn't find them for the time being, it would be a quick thing to find them and track them down. After all, they were cavalry.
Liu Keqiang took out the telescope and looked at the black spot in the distance. After adjusting it, he saw clearly that the dozens of Japanese cavalry had already galloped on horseback, and the direction of their running was exactly the direction of Wang Laomao Chutian's retreat.
Liu Keqiang put down the telescope and glanced at the woods where they were now and ordered: "Retreat, hiding here, the Japanese can see us."
"Then how can we fight the Japanese?" A soldier asked puzzledly.
"Stupid, retreat first, listen to the sound of horse hooves and then rush out!" Liu Keqiang replied.
