Chapter 66 Don't Be Fooled
"What?"
"Bagayalu!"
"That's really cunning!"
This was beyond the expectations of all the devils.
Kuroshima Morita was also furious. It turned out that this local guerrilla had the same idea as him. The duel was just a cover, and killing the opponent was his real purpose!
Just as I was distracted, I heard another hook sound in the front.
Kuroshima Morita looked quickly and saw another cavalryman fall off his horse.
"Bagayalu!" Kuroshima Morita turned around and shouted, "Is the heavy machine gun ready?"
At such a long distance, only the Type 92 heavy machine gun of the heavy machine gun squad can be lethal.
Otherwise, by the time they caught up with them, the Eighth Route Army would have already run away. After all, the enemy was not a fool. They would not foolishly stay there and wait for their large group of cavalry to rush over and chop off their heads.
However, building a heavy machine gun position takes time.
Because heavy machine guns are too heavy, they cause a lot of vibration when shooting.
If the chosen ground is not hard enough, the hit rate will be very low.
"Captain, please give us two more minutes!" The captain of the heavy machine gun team wiped his forehead. In just a moment, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
"Damn it!" Kuroshima Morita cursed and looked back forward.
The remaining six cavalrymen had already reacted and took out their cavalry rifles to fight back.
However, a distance of three hundred meters is still a bit far, and since it is shooting while moving, the hit rate is zero.
On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had a very high hit rate because they were firing while stationary. After three more gunshots, three more Japanese cavalrymen fell off their horses.
The remaining three Japanese cavalrymen were not surprised but happy. They stopped shooting and accelerated their charge forward.
Obviously, these three Japanese cavalrymen were also experienced veterans. They knew that Wang Ye's cavalry rifle was empty and it would take at least a few seconds to reload the bullets.
They wanted to take advantage of these few seconds to shorten the distance between the two sides as much as possible.
As long as they get within a hundred meters, both sides have equal chances.
Unfortunately, however, Wang Ye could not give them such an opportunity.
Pulling the bolt, loading the bullet, then closing the bolt and pushing the bullet into the chamber, the whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and Wang Ye only took a few seconds.
During this period of time, the Japanese cavalry only advanced a few dozen meters.
Two more crisp gunshots were heard, and two more cavalrymen fell off their horses.
Although the two cavalrymen made evasive moves, it was of no use.
The next moment, Wang Ye did something that all the Japanese soldiers were unexpected.
When there was only one Japanese cavalryman left on the opposite side, Wang Ye suddenly drew back his rifle and urged his horse forward.
The last Japanese cavalryman was also a fanatical guy. When he saw Wang Yetao put his cavalry rifle back on his saddle, he also put his cavalry rifle back on his saddle, and then raised his saber with his backhand.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses met.
Wang Ye just dodged casually and easily avoided the sabers of the Japanese cavalry.
Then he quickly reached out with his right hand and grabbed the Japanese cavalryman's waist, captured him from his back, and then slapped the back of the Japanese cavalryman's neck, knocking him unconscious.
The action of capturing alive was done in one go.
…
The Japanese cavalry were suddenly in an uproar.
Kuroshima Morita was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
In front of more than 400 cavalrymen of the Kuroshima Regiment, an Eighth Route Army soldier killed eight cavalrymen in succession and captured one alive. If this matter were to spread, the Kuroshima Regiment would become a laughing stock in the military!
Therefore, we must kill this Tubalu at all costs and not let him escape.
At that moment, Kuroshima Morita did not wait for the heavy machine gun team any longer, and immediately raised his saber and shouted, "Taoci deserves it!"
The more than 400 Japanese cavalrymen in line urged their horses to rush forward like a flood that had broken through a dam.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was less than 500 meters, and the Japanese cavalry raised their cavalry rifles one after another.
However, it was very regrettable that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had turned their horses and started to accelerate, and in a blink of an eye the distance between the two sides widened to 500 meters.
After the distance had widened to 500 meters, the Eighth Route Army turned around and started shooting.
Seeing this, the pursuing Japanese cavalry also opened fire back.
Since both sides were moving at high speed and the distance was far, they were basically just firing blindly.
The Eighth Route Army fired two shots and stopped, but because there was an extra person in front of the saddle, the horse's speed was affected, and the distance could not be further increased.
The two sides maintained a distance of 500 meters.
The chase and escape lasted for five or six kilometers.
Looking at the undulating hills on both sides, Kuroshima Morita suddenly reacted.
"Jin!" Kuroshima Morita shouted softly, and the warhorse under him immediately began to slow down.
Seeing that Kuroshima Morita's horse slowed down, the Japanese cavalry following him also slowed down.
Soon, more than 400 Japanese cavalrymen stopped in the wilderness and watched the Eighth Route Army quickly disappear into the distance.
Kuroshima Jiro rode up to Kuroshima Morita and frowned, "Captain, we can definitely catch up if we chase for a few more kilometers. Why did you give up so suddenly?"
"Do you really think you can catch up?" Kuroshima Morita said coldly.
"Why can't we catch up?" Kuroshima Jiro frowned and retorted, "The Tubalu brought Asano-kun with them. The horse's stamina consumption is obviously greater than ours. He can't run far."
"Don't the Tubalu know this?"
Kuroshima Morita sneered, "If he really wanted to run, couldn't he just abandon Asano?"
Kuroshima Jiro was suddenly speechless. Yes, why didn’t the Eighth Route Army abandon Asano?
Kuroshima Morita added: "This Tubalu's horsemanship is no less than that of Tojo-kun and Nishitake-kun. If he wanted to get away, he would have already gotten rid of our pursuit."
"The reason why he didn't get rid of it,"
"It's just to lure us into giving chase."
Kuroshima Jiro's expression froze, and he said with a dark face, "Captain, are you saying this is a trap?"
"It must be a trap. If I'm not mistaken, there must be an ambush ahead." Kuroshima Morita snorted, "But I won't be fooled! Order, all squadrons to turn around on the spot."
"Haha!" Several signalmen went away separately.
…
Eight hundred meters ahead.
Wang Ye's horse speed gradually changed from trotting to cantering, until it finally stopped completely.
Looking back, he found that the Kuroshima Regiment not only did not continue the pursuit, but turned back to the Huting stronghold. He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this old devil Kuroshima Morita was really cautious.
It seems that it is not easy to anger the Black Island United.
At that moment, Wang Ye gave up luring the enemy and returned to assembly point No. 1.
Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui and others who had been waiting for half a day hurried over to meet them.
Wang Ye threw the Japanese prisoner who was lying in front of the saddle to the ground and said, "Tie him up."
"Devils?" Wei Dayong's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said in a fierce voice, "Bury them alive?"
"Don't rush to bury him." Wang Ye said, "We finally caught a tongue, let's ask him about the intelligence of the Japanese cavalry first."
"The Japs are all die-hards."
Wang Xikui said: "They won't speak, so it's better to bury them alive."
"That's right." Wang Gensheng also said, "If we catch them, we can't bury them alive. The political commissar will definitely not allow it."
"You guys are just a bunch of idiots." Wang Ye said, "Didn't I say to bring him back to the regiment for trial? Can't we try him halfway? Can't we try him thoroughly before we go back?"
“That’s true.”
Wei Dayong's eyes lit up.
"Let's go and find a place to shelter from the wind."
Wang Ye said: "I won't go back tonight."
"Coyote One, go notify the 2nd Battalion."
"Just say the Japs won't be fooled, and the ambush is canceled."
"Yes!" Liu Dongtang responded and rode away.
At this time, the sky had gradually darkened.
The Wolf Warriors soon found a cave in the wilderness.
Wang Ye ordered the Black Wolf Team to lurk outside and take charge of the guard, and then he led the remaining War Wolves into the cave and found firewood to start a bonfire.
After a while, the military kettle on the fire boiled.
The white flour buns steaming around the bonfire also emit bursts of fragrance.
Wei Dayong poured a glass of water, took two white flour buns, stood up and said, "I'll go outside and take a look."
"Stop." Wang Ye snorted, "Don't think I didn't see you. When I went out this morning, you stole the dried horse meat that I hung in the yard."
"You big bad wolf,"
"What if you want to eat alone?"
"No way!" Wei Dayong denied it flatly, "I didn't take it!"
Wang Ye rushed over and snatched Wei Dayong's bag.
With just a shake, a large piece of dried horse meat fell out of the bag.
"Fuck, Big Bad Wolf, you are such a piece of shit! You really want to eat all by yourself."
The War Wolves sitting around the fire began to curse Wei Dayong.
Wang Xikui cursed as he picked up the dried horse meat and took out his bayonet to cut it into pieces.
Wang Ye walked up to the Japanese prisoner, grabbed his canvas bag and shook it upside down. Many items fell out of it, including a Japanese notebook with a badge on it.
Waseda University photo? Still a college student?
When I opened the diary, I saw that it was written in Chinese.
Wang Ye's heart moved.
