Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 352

Chapter 352 The blind cat is destined to encounter a dead mouse

Lv Sanjiang was actually already asleep.

Even snoring a little.

But the veteran who was also nesting in the grass five meters away and hanging his arm with a bandage did not wake him up.

　　The nerves of being in the field for several consecutive days are highly tense, making the veteran who is unable to sleep due to the pain of his wounds feel extremely tired, let alone a young man who has just been in the army for three years, even if he has gradually grown into a qualified cavalryman.

Young cavalry must be qualified.

Because the brothers who stood in front of him and shielded them from the wind and rain were constantly being consumed in the war. Just like in the last showdown with the Japanese cavalry, most of the people who died in the battle were veterans.

They know that as long as they dodge, the ones whose chests and abdomen will be sliced open by the sharp sabers of the Japanese army will be the recruits following them. Therefore, they cannot hide. They must either exchange their lives for their lives, or use their bodies to become the slaves of their little brothers. shield.

The growth of cavalry is even more cruel than that of infantry. One group dies in battle and another group grows up.

There are very few veterans who can survive to the end.

But this is also the pride of the cavalry.

The veteran's left elbow was chopped off in the last round of cavalry battle. According to the rules, those with missing limbs can be classified as seriously injured and do not need to go on missions. However, he was still worried about his little brother and insisted on accompanying him to the battlefield with his arm hanging for reconnaissance.

Lü Sanjiang was not only his comrade-in-arms, but also a fellow villager in his village. It was he who patted his chest and took Lu Sanjiang away from his parents, telling them that he would definitely come back with a successful little brother.

He may no longer be able to shoot and fight with his little brother, but his experience can undoubtedly give more help to the Xinke Cavalry Sergeant. In addition, the cavalry company has been short of manpower for the past few days, so he, a seriously wounded soldier who should have been hiding for recuperation, also entered the battlefield. .

Continuous pain constantly tortures people's nerves, but it also becomes the best stimulus to resist drowsiness. The veteran only slept for less than 3 hours in two days and nights.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the main road, there was enemy sentiment!

However, the veteran knew that Lu Sanjiang was awake without him shouting.

His purring disappeared.

The veteran grinned with great relief.

He knew that his little brother was growing up faster than he imagined. Even the deepest sleep, even with him by his side, did not make him lose enough vigilance.

This is good, it means he will be able to stand alone soon.

This also means that he may not need his own help in the future to go on missions with newer troops.

However, for the veterans, there is only relief, not loss.

“Brother! Why are there Japanese cavalry at this time?” Lu Sanjiang's voice came softly.

"I don't know!" The veteran, who was biting a grass root instead of a cigarette, shook his head solemnly.

Before the Japanese Tenth Army arrived in Songjiang, in order to hinder their march, Songjiang City sent nearly a thousand people to destroy the main road from Huangpu River to Songjiang City. The large pits dug manually and the roadbed blown up with explosives made the purely mechanized troops want to pass this road. Access from the main road is extremely difficult.

Japanese engineers spent a lot of time and failed to repair this main road quickly. Horseback riding and three-wheeled motorcycles became the main means of transportation for Japanese troops between the two places.

However, at this time, it is definitely not a good choice to gallop on a horse in such road conditions. If you are not careful, the horse will stumble and the person and the horse will fall half to death.

However, the cavalry team running along the main road increased their horse speed to at least 50%.

The first few horses were all shining their flashlights on the road ahead, obviously they were pathfinders, and the twenty or so horses behind were following closely in the early morning light.

You can feel their eagerness without looking too close.

However, at this scale, it is neither a cavalry sequence that can be put into combat nor a communications team of two or three horses.

The telescope specially borrowed from the company commander was hung around Lu Sanjiang's neck. The Xinke cavalry sergeant who opened his eyes vigilantly must learn to observe and judge by himself, instead of relying on his brother for everything.

Lu Sanjiang has become much quieter since he saw the veteran pay the price of losing his arm to save himself.

The veteran knew his guilt, but he did not go out of his way to enlighten him. Pain and suffering are all processes that must be experienced in growth.

Lu Sanjiang is much better now than the new recruit who was used to asking the veteran about everything two or three days ago.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the horse teams running in the distance are becoming clearer and clearer.

"Brother! They seem to be escorting someone to the Songjiang front line." Lu Sanjiang's voice came.

"Well! Let's evacuate when they pass by. It will be bright soon, and the Japanese cavalry may come at any time." The veteran nodded.

“We stayed all night and didn't detect anything, so we just went back like this. I don't want to do that!” Lu Sanjiang licked his lips, feeling a little annoyed.

"No situation is better than no situation!" the veteran said as he packed up his belongings with one arm. "That's true!" Lu Sanjiang replied while holding the binoculars unwillingly and looking at the cavalry from far to near, and about to go from near to far.

In the cavalry formation, a figure wearing white gloves and a command knife hanging on his waist without a helmet broke into his sight.

“Brother, there is a high-ranking official! Don't say he is an assistant official!” Lu Sanjiang's eyes suddenly opened.

"So what? There are just the two of us here, and there are more than 20 people in this house. Can you cook him or steam him?" The veteran shook his head and replied angrily. "Get ready to leave. Go back and report to the company commander and the others that the Japanese army has no troops to mobilize tonight."

"Hey! If my marksmanship is half as good as that of Deputy Director Tang, I might be able to kill him." Lu Sanjiang took out his lance and aimed at the cavalry in the distance. Even the cavalry was blurred in the crosshairs, let alone his telescope. The Japanese officer who was watching inside said with great regret.

"Shit, it's so far away, even if Deputy Director Tang comes here, it won't work! When will you, kid, be calmer and stop doing such whimsical things!" The veteran frowned and scolded his little brother.

This guy didn't stay calm for two days and was almost back to before, which made him quite dissatisfied.

“Why aren't you calm? I mean, I didn't say that I really wanted to fight.” Lying in the grass, Lu Sanjiang stubbornly continued to aim at the cavalry with his gun.

The far distance made it difficult for him to see clearly in the sight, so he subconsciously picked up the telescope with his left hand and looked at the figure of the Japanese officer still rising and falling on the horse. He held the gun in one hand and simulated in his mind how he could be like that. Like Tang Dao, one shot at a time.

　　It was actually the Tang Dao that left a deep impression on him in the cavalry duel that day.

The cavalry are facing each other, and the distance of three to four hundred meters is approaching in an instant. The muscles in your body are almost stiff, and your mind is blank. It is not time, but the sound of horse hooves like continuous thunder, constantly warning you, if you don't raise your sword, You will be decapitated by your opponent.

Therefore, cavalrymen often throw away their lances after firing a shot, and hold their sabers high, which can not only deter the enemy, but also embolden themselves.

It's like holding a gun and emptying five bullets like Tang Dao, which is so psychologically powerful that it's scary.

Perhaps he was too immersed in it. Sergeant Xin Ke didn't realize that his gun's safety had already been turned on. With his finger slightly hooked, the rifle was fired.

　　　"Bang!" A shot was fired.

“You bastard, you're crazy!” The veteran almost vomited blood.

This bastard, why are you so stubborn?

Lu Sanjiang was also stunned.

It wasn't because I pulled the trigger recklessly.

But something incredible happened in the telescope.

A war horse fell down in response to the sound.

The Japanese cavalry, which was speeding up, instantly fell into chaos.

He actually hit it?

The distance is more than one mile!

Has God shown his spirit?

“Brother, I seem to have been hit!” Lu Sanjiang replied weakly.

“I'm going to hit you! You lied about your military exploits and it's good for your child.” The veteran who crawled over grabbed Lu Sanjiang's binoculars and looked into the distance.

The veteran was also stunned.

The Japanese cavalry had stopped. Instead of searching and chasing into the wilderness as imagined, they were all gathered together in a panic.

Obviously, Lu Sanjiang didn't lie, he really hit a target.

This blind cat has the same luck as a mouse.

“Let's go!” The veteran shouted in a deep voice without bothering to test the results of the battle.

By the time the Japanese army reacted, the two of them would not be able to escape. The Mongolian horses they equipped were far inferior to the Japanese horses for short-distance sprinting.

Two soldiers quietly climbed out of the bushes and reached the back of the hill. They led the horses with cotton hooves tied to them and retreated deep into the woods.

If they had the chance to look back, they would be surprised to find that the Japanese cavalry had no intention of pursuing them.

There is wilderness on all sides, and they have no way of tracking their target. This is just one of them.

More importantly, the target they were responsible for protecting, Major General Moritake Tanabe, fell from his horse and was seriously injured.
