Chapter 2153 The Sudden Appearance of Cavalry
"Fighting is good, fighting is good, once fighting starts, all the mess will be gone (liao)!" The team was moving forward, but Qiaoyouzi was still talking.
Although the team was jogging, the soldiers were secretly happy.
Isn't it true? There were gunshots in front, which meant the Japanese devils were coming.
Once the Japanese devils came, there would be a war.
Once there was a war, the little things between the soldiers of Shang Zhenying and Qian Bingzhong would have been thrown to Java!
This time Chu Tian was running in the front, and Xu Lang was left behind.
Now that he has joined the Eighth Route Army, Secretary He asked who would make the decision before leaving, but he didn't let Chu Tian make the decision.
So now Chen Hanwen's platoon went to participate in the battle, of course it was not Chu Tian who agreed, but Xu Lang agreed.
At the beginning, when there was no gunfire, Xu Lang was still emphasizing that the Eighth Route Army should protect the people, but when gunfire sounded in front and soldiers chased from behind and asked to take the initiative to join the battle, Xu Lang actually agreed!
So, does this mean something? Is Xu Lang too timid?
Their own people are fighting in front, and they must also join the battle.
In this case, of course, the more people they bring, the better!
This is Xu Lang's intention that Chu Tian speculated, but he would not tell anyone about this, and could only bury it in his heart, so he reserved his opinion on Xu Lang's performance.
Chu Tian led this platoon of people to run forward, and when they ran out for only two miles, the gunfire in front was getting closer and closer.
Chu Tian and his men could tell as soon as they heard the gunfire that the gunfire was moving, or, to be more precise, their people must have been chased by the Japanese army and should be heading in the opposite direction of their platoon.
With this judgment, Chu Tian looked at both sides of the road. Not to mention that there was really a terrain he liked. There were highlands on both sides. Although the slope was not steep, it was still highland, and there were shrubs and trees on it.
"Chen Hanwen, you take half of the people to the left, and I will take the rest to the right!" Chu Tian ordered loudly.
After he said this, the team naturally split up. The four Eighth Route Army soldiers assigned to Chen Hanwen's platoon, perhaps because they had a quarrel with Hu Zhuzi, all ran to Chu Tian's side, and Xu Lang followed.
According to the rules, the highest-ranking official among them should be Xu Lang.
But Chu Tian knew Xu Lang for a long time. As for Xu Lang's level of commanding operations, the people in their camp did not take him seriously at all. Of course, this could not be said!
And Xu Lang seemed to have self-knowledge. This time he would not talk about big principles. Anyway, it was not his turn to lead the charge in the battle!
Chu Tian ran to the small hill on the right, and then ran to the side of the woods. The gunshots came from that direction. He had a telescope in his hand, so he had to see what was going on first.
Chu Tian lay on the edge of the woods, looking into the distance with his telescope.
But this look disappointed him.
There was a high hill in front, and the country road turned under the high hill, and the high hill just blocked his sight.
How about setting up an ambush position on the high hill? The high hill is higher than where they are now, Chu Tian thought.
But at this time, he saw that the opposite side of the high hill, that is, the other side of the path, was a flat open land, sparsely covered with a few bushes, and no one could hide at all.
"Company commander, I think the terrain in front is not bad, how about I take a machine gun to that place?" asked Qiao Youzi who followed from behind.
Chu Tian could tell that their people were being chased by the Japanese army, and Qiao Youzi could certainly tell that too.
"That's fine. If we can see the enemy there, we can fire a burst of bullets at them, and then run back. Forget it, I'll go with a machine gun." Chu Tian said.
They said their people were being chased by the Japanese army, which was their judgment, but it was hard to say what the specific situation was now. It was necessary to act according to circumstances, so Chu Tian said that.
After Chu Tian finished speaking, he called the machine gunner and the assistant gunner out of the woods and ran to the high ground in front.
But when they had only run a few steps, Qiao Youzi suddenly shouted from behind: "Come back!"
Chu Tian and the others looked back at Qiao Youzi's expression and knew something was wrong.
They didn't care where the enemy was, so they turned around and ran into the woods.
They returned to the woods again. Chu Tian asked: "What's wrong?"
"It seems there is the sound of horse hooves!" Qiao Youzi replied.
At this time, Chu Tian really heard the faint sound of horse hooves, but what surprised them was that the sound of horse hooves did not come from the road in front, but from behind them!
"Follow me half of the people!" Chu Tian said anxiously.
These veterans of Shang Zhenying have experienced many battles and have dealt with cavalry before. When you can hear the sound of horse hooves, if you are a little slower, the cavalry may be in front of you!
Chu Tian took a few people and went to the back of the woods again.
This forest is not very big. Chu Tian took a few people and saw more than ten horsemen in the distance through the gaps between the trees before he ran to the edge of the woods.
The more than ten horses came around on this side of the road. Chu Tian signaled everyone to stop. He took advantage of the cover of the trees and quickly used a telescope to look.
Just when he saw the sky clearly, he whispered: "Go back one, and quickly call Chen Hanwen and the others to come over! Get ready for battle!"
No mistakes, just look at the 6-9 book forum!
It turned out that he saw clearly in the telescope that the more than ten horses running here were the Japanese cavalry!
Chu Tian was also very lucky, thanks to Qiao Youzi who heard the horse hoof sound.
If Chen Hanwen had called him to slow down just now, he would have led his men down this small hill and entered the open space between this small hill and the high hill in front, and he would definitely be discovered by the Japanese!
"Fuck!" Qiao Youzi cursed in a low voice, "I feel that the little devils are different this time!"
"This is a little different, maybe they are familiar with our battalion, everyone be careful!" Chu Tian said.
Chu Tian's words are of course reasonable.
He didn't expect that the Japanese army would also send out cavalry this time.
The Japanese army has also mastered the law of the rapid action of Shang Zhenying.
If they only use infantry to chase and kill, they may not be able to catch up with these veterans.
That's why they sent out multiple cavalry squads to make a quick detour.
In fact, they had used this trick when they were chasing Shang Zhen.
It's just that the Chinese personnel who participated in the battle were either killed or missing, and Chu Tian and his men didn't get the information.
"Should we call Platoon Leader Chen and the others over?" Qian Bingzhong suggested at this time.
"No, the people in front are almost here." Chu Tian said in a low voice.
Then he stopped talking, and everyone else fell silent because the Japanese cavalry was close, and now it was only more than 200 meters away from the woods.
"There are 11 in total. The closer the Japanese are, the better. Anyway, they can't get into the woods. You all lie down, and I'll watch alone!" Chu Tian said.
The Eighth Route Army soldiers who came with them and Xu Lang didn't expect Chu Tian to give such an order, but they all lay down anyway.
When they looked at the machine gunner in the Shang Zhen Battalion, he pulled the bolt and fired the machine gun, but he didn't even have the legs of the machine gun!
Obviously, the people in the Shang Zhen Battalion were quite experienced in this kind of ambush!
