Chapter 19 Killing Generals and Capturing the Flag (1)
"What is the commander Wen and the others met a whole cavalry gang's devil!" After hearing what his subordinates reposted, the last sentence in his life that Wen Songyuan sent a messenger to ask for help said was not very complete. Cheng Jiaji exclaimed loudly.
Earlier, he had received a report from Ma Siyuan, which explained in detail the cause and consequences of Wen Songyuan chasing a cavalry company to jump into the enemy.
Although Cheng Jiaji was a little worried about Wen Songyuan's safety, he thought that even if a cavalry company could not defeat it, he would always escape. He also considered that the risk of attacking at night was too high when the enemy was unknown, and the battle in the village had not yet ended at that time, so he did not send troops to pick up Wen Songyuan. He never expected that a unit of Japanese cavalry would be so interested in the small army led by Wen Songyuan!
'This restless Wen Songyuan caused himself a big trouble. He could chase dozens of Japanese defeated soldiers and chase him out of the cavalry of a regiment to chase him to death. It was too outrageous!' When Cheng Jiaji thought of this, a thought suddenly broke out in his mind, 'God, did he really seize the military flag of the 40th regiment!'
Why did a Japanese cavalry in a wing target the cavalry company led by Wen Songyuan?
The matter has to start with Wen Songyuan leading more than 60 cavalrymen out of the village to pursue the last dozen people in the 40th Japanese Regiment.
After chasing out of Zhuangzi six or seven miles, the troops led by Wen Songyuan finally found the traces of the Japanese army's remaining troops.
"Group, look at the Japanese in front." The person who spoke was loud and bright, and his voice was extremely wide, which showed that he had the potential to sing male loud voices. If this person had the opportunity to participate in the selection competitions such as super male voices in the 21st century, he would definitely be among the top few.
"Leprosy, what's your name? Just rush up and chop his mother! You even said you were the golden eagle on the grassland!" Wen Songyuan shouted.
The 200th cavalry company Ma Jiuxiao, the leprosy mentioned by Wen Songyuan. This man was from an authentic horse thief on the Guisui grassland. He was originally a cavalry platoon leader in the Northeast Army. A few months ago, because he was incompatible with his superiors, he ran away with a gun. A month ago, he accidentally killed a man in Xuzhou City and was also locked in a death row. In order to save Tu San, he rushed into the death row. At that time, Wen Songyuan held one and saved a few, but this time he wanted Boss Yacheng to curse. In the prison, he took away several prisoners selected from the death row prisoners whom he thought were useful, and among them was this one.
This man was highly appreciated by Wen Songyuan for his good riding skills and became the commander of the cavalry company of the 200th Regiment that had just been formed.
Ma Jiuxiao was also a proud guy. He was so excited by Wen Songyuan. When he lifted his horse's head, he rushed towards the Japanese army that was trapped in the darkness with a platoon. The horse team suddenly accelerated and raised smoke and dust, and fell on the faces of his own people who were still waiting for Wen Songyuan's order.
"This kid has a hotter temper than me." Looking at the back of Ma Jiuxiao who was running away from greeting without even saying hello, Wen Songyuan laughed and scolded. Of course, he wouldn't really be angry about this. This sentence is more about his love for Ma Jiuxiao. In the army, there is the subordinate who is the commander who doesn't like bravery!
Wen Songyuan did not ask the team to chase after Ma Jiuxiao and his team just now. Instead, he ordered the platoon in his hand to divide the troops from the company into multiple routes and encircle the Japanese from both wings.
He was not worried that the platoon brought by Ma Jiuxiao would not be able to deal with three or four Japanese devils.
You should know that under normal circumstances, infantry that has lost their fighting spirit on the plains without a neat queue. Once they are covered by cavalry, the outcome of these infantry can be imagined. Not to mention that it is dark at night now, and it is difficult for infantry to form a queue. The important thing is that these Japanese cannot escape. If the military flag is released, Wen Songyuan himself cannot forgive himself.
Ma Jiuxiao's troops rushed to the fullest, and it took only one or two minutes to catch up with the Japanese defeated troops.
"Kill." With this roar, the head of the last Japanese man was cut into two pieces by the sharp sabre in Ma Jiuxiao's hand and his body. The body of the Japanese man who had lost his head continued to run forward several steps under the action of inertia, and then fell down and twitched a few times and stopped moving. The blood spurted out like a fountain in the Japanese army's neck flowed on the ground. With the "selfless" watering of the blood of this unwelcome foreign visitor, the land will definitely be much fertile next year.
Seeing this, most of the other Japanese troops stopped and used bayonets and pistols to launch a desperate attack on the Chinese cavalry. Only seven or eight Japanese officers were obviously Japanese officers flew forward under the cover of most Japanese soldiers. Their speed was so fast that they could break the best results achieved by Japanese long-distance runners in all sports meets.
At this time, the few vanguards of the cavalry team that were escorting from both sides were rushing to arrive, but they were still one step slower. They only stopped five or six Japanese soldiers, and two Japanese escaped from the cavalry blockade and escaped to the small slope ahead with dark cover. Wen Songyuan had just rushed up. Seeing this, he hurriedly led more than twenty cavalry to chase the two Japanese escaped. The sharp-eyed Yun Jiuxiao also followed Wen Songyuan's team with a few people. Anyway, most of the Japanese troops here were wiped out, and it was enough to leave twenty or thirty people to deal with the remaining Japanese soldiers. The two Japanese who escaped must have the gang flag of the 40th Japanese Regiment, which was saliva-prone. Yun Jiuxiao did not want to miss the opportunity to seize the military flag with his own hands.
When Wen Songyuan and others were about to catch up with the two Japanese officers who had already escaped to the earth slope, Ma Jiuxiao, who had already rushed to the front of the team with his superb riding skills, first felt the ground trembling slightly under him, and then he heard a low, powerful and regular sound like thunder coming from the other side of the earth slope.
Ma Jiuxiao, who had lived on horseback for twenty years, suddenly turned pale. He could not hear what this sound meant. He could guarantee that there must be a large number of cavalrymen on the other side of the hillside, with a number of no less than seven or eight hundred.
After reacting, Ma Jiuxiao quickly turned around and looked at Wen Songyuan, who was already strange. He hoped that the regiment would make a decision immediately, to give up the two big fish in front and return to the horse and retreat immediately (it was still time. If the two armies met, it would be impossible to withdraw from the battle so easily.) The whole team would speed up and rush forward to seize the military flag that they wanted to get after all night. (If so, it would inevitably collide with the Japanese cavalry head-on.)
Wen Songyuan had already fully understood the dangerous situation of himself and others at this time (at this moment, the movement on the Tupo was getting bigger and bigger. Wen Songyuan had at least seen the marching training of the cavalry battalion in Jiangfeng, so he naturally knew that the Tupo would not be just a large group of goats who were lost. The brigade of cavalry that appeared in this place could only be the Japanese cavalry.)
Wen Songyuan knew in his heart that Ma Jiuxiao was watching him make the next decision as the supreme commander.
He gritted his teeth and was really unwilling to give up. Wen Songyuan, who returned in a desperate situation, made up his mind to defeat the death. He answered Ma Jiuxiao's questions with practical actions.
Wen Songyuan pulled the mount hard a few times, and the war horse under his straddled exceeded Ma Jiuxiao's mount half a horse in just a few breaths. Wen Songyuan, who became the vanguard of the entire cavalry team, used all his strength to shout loudly: "Assault on the whole team!"
