Chapter 191 Hunting
The Sun Knight kicked his horse hard and rushed forward.
When Lu Dahai was leading the cavalry in pursuit, he suddenly saw dozens of Japanese soldiers dismounting in front of them.
Lu Dahai's heart was filled with alarm.
He immediately ordered: "Go around, don't get close!"
He turned his horse and drew a semicircle, intending to block the enemy cavalry.
Seeing this, the Japanese machine gunner who had just dismounted hurriedly mounted his horse with his gun and continued to flee following Colonel Furusawa Suetoshi.
The 1st Cavalry Battalion, forced to take a detour, put a greater distance between itself and the enemy.
However, Lu Dahai was not discouraged.
There are gains and losses.
Although the Mongolian Sanhe horse lacks explosive power, it has amazing endurance and is particularly adaptable to harsh environments.
The Mongol cavalry was able to sweep across faraway Europe. In addition to their horse archery skills and wolf pack tactics, the Mongolian horse's ability to excel in long-distance raids also played an important role.
In this vast grassland, as long as the enemy is not defeated instantly, their strength can be gradually exhausted through harassment and raids for several days and nights.
Colonel Furusawa Suetoshi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had shaken off the enemy who was chasing him.
But he knew that a greater threat was waiting ahead.
Must rush out before interception.
After running for only fifteen minutes, Colonel Furusawa Suetoshi discovered a cavalry unit appearing in front of him and rushing towards him.
It was obvious that the other party was blocking his way...
If they were intercepted by the enemy and the hunters behind them arrived at the same time, they would fall into a nightmare of being surrounded.
"We must break out of the cocoon!"
Gu Ze Suejun, the heroic great magician, shouted, "Follow me!"
The Sun Wing Knights changed their formation once again, attempting to break through this endless maze diagonally.
The mountains and rivers here are different from those in Shanxi, and there are ways to survive in all directions.
Just be as fast as lightning!
Looking at the shadow of the Sun Wing Knights, the Iron Cavalry Division Commander Chen Changjie shouted:
"Act quickly, don't let them escape, stop them!"
The 35th Legion's Iron Cavalry Division instantly brandished their magic whips and followed behind, intending to intercept the Sun Wing Knights.
In a flash, the two knight troops were only three or four hundred steps apart, and they raised their magic spears at the same time.
bang bang...
The sound of gunfire echoed in the sky.
When shooting while running, one can often only rely on the blessing of fate.
A dozen unfortunate knights were hit by stray arrows and fell from their horses.
The others quickly reloaded their magic bullets and prepared for the next round of shooting.
At this moment, both sides no longer cared about saving the horses' magic power and just used their legs to hit the horses' bellies frantically.
Drive your mount to speed up, and speed up again, to the limit!
The Knights of the Wings of the Sun fled, with the 35th Legion's cavalry in hot pursuit.
Both sides released magic in the intervals, dealing ruthless blows to the opponent.
The flames of pursuit have been ignited, and more than a thousand Sun Wing Knights are fleeing towards Baotou City.
The cavalry of the 35th Legion resolutely carried out their mission and kept trying to get closer, intending to destroy the enemy ahead in one fell swoop.
This pursuit lasted for a whole day and a night.
They galloped on their horses across the grassland, and the brief moment of wildness might be intoxicating.
However, as time goes by, the bitterness and exhaustion are beyond description.
Lu Dahai no longer has the ambition and passion he had at the beginning to fight on the battlefield.
The day is scorched by the scorching sun, and at night,
The cold Siberian wind in late autumn is as sharp as a knife, piercing through the bone marrow.
Even wearing a helmet with ear protection could not stop the sharp north wind.
Many knights had their cheeks cut by the wind.
Although he was the commander of a cavalry battalion, he spent half his life on horseback.
But this time, he was almost exhausted.
Chen Changjie saw that Lu Dahai looked pale.
"Captain Lu, you guys should go back first! If we are attacked by bandits, the caravan will be in danger!"
Lu Dahai agreed with his concerns. The main task this time was to escort the caravan.
The safety of the caravan is of paramount importance.
Lu Dahai shouted: "I'll leave these enemies to you!"
Chen Changjie responded heroically: "Don't worry, I will never let them off easily!"
Lu Dahai reined in his horse and stopped.
Jump off the horse as soon as possible.
It was not only to give the warhorse a chance to catch his breath, but also because he himself was exhausted and needed rest.
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment also quickly dismounted to rest.
Their hips were almost numb from the day-and-night chase.
The 1st Battalion of the 358th Cavalry Regiment stopped to rest, while the 34th Army's Cavalry Division continued to pursue.
The pursuit lasted for two days and three nights.
Some warriors lost their vision during the chase and fell off their horses.
Fortunately, it was only a brief dizziness.
Unfortunately, some broke their limbs.
The 35th Legion's Iron Cavalry Division was exhausted, and the Sun Wing Knights were also suffering...
Galloping eighty miles day after day across the endless wasteland, the tenacity of the first day was worn out in the next two days. Even the iron knights could not bear it, not to mention the tired horses.
People kept falling from their horses, weakened, and even if they didn't die, they would fall into the hands of the mysterious guardians and become prisoners. In the end, there were more people falling than standing.
Half of the enemy had been killed, and the remaining Japanese troops were trying to seek shelter in Baotou City. At the same time, a reinforcement army consisting of a corps was approaching the battlefield. In order to avoid being completely trapped, Chen Changjie decisively ordered a retreat.
The battle on the grassland is cruel and unromantic. It is not easy to completely destroy the enemy. Only perseverance can win in this endurance contest. It depends on who can hold on to the last moment!
What we are competing for is not only patience, but also the strength of the country!
After a half-day rest, Lü Dahai set out again and quickly returned to the caravan. When Kong Ke saw him, he immediately asked anxiously, "General Lü, has the enemy been defeated?"
Lu Dahai looked around at the anxious eyes of the crowd and announced loudly: "Everyone, rest assured. Since our unit has accepted the escort mission, we will stick to our promise and ensure everyone's safety. The Japanese army has been defeated by us, so everyone can rest assured!"
When Kong Ke heard the news of victory, he asked a barrage of questions excitedly: "Is it true? General Lu, is this true? You are not lying to us!"
Lu Dahai answered without hesitation: "I have never lied to you. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check over there. The enemy's corpses are scattered all over the ground!"
After witnessing the enemy corpses scattered all over the ground, the merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The enemy has been defeated, how wonderful! This means the journey is safe and the trade will bring great profits!
Kong Ke raised his thumb and praised: "General Lu is indeed wise. Trading with the 358th Regiment is a wise choice!"
Lu Dahai responded generously: "Hahaha... Don't worry, everyone, it will never be wrong to join hands with my 358th Regiment!"
Other businessmen echoed:
"General Kong is right! The 358th Regiment is indeed a brave and fierce division, and General Lu has the demeanor of a great commander!"
"With the 358th Regiment, we have nothing to fear!"
"If it weren't for the 358th Regiment, we might not only not make any money this time, but we might also lose our lives. Following the 358th Regiment is the wisest decision!"
……
After some praise, the caravan continued to move towards Houqi and then headed to Wuyuan.
Just as Lu Dahai was commanding the 35th Army Cavalry Division to defeat the Japanese cavalry unit, Cao Geng led his troops to Xianyang to receive weapons and ammunition from Su Lian.
Looking at this batch of equipment, Cao Geng was overjoyed, as if he could sing at any time. After a month and a half of anxiety, the ammunition supply finally arrived.
From then on, they no longer had to worry about the Japanese attack without bullets. More importantly, they could take the initiative to attack and fight the enemy.
Cao Geng couldn't hold back his inner impulse as his thoughts surged. He mounted his horse, already thinking about the next target to attack.
