Since the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the Jin Army were willing to send them to the door, there was no need for the Red Army to move places, and there was no need to walk more. As long as Miao Zhengliu is beaten painfully, if he screams a few more times, the enemy will obediently drill into the pocket of the Red Army, how good!

Just when the Red Army was waiting for the Nanjing side to send troops to rescue, and Miao Zhengliu in Xinyang City urged his officers and soldiers to strengthen the defense, there was a force that no one expected to go against the general trend.

This unit was the division that had been ordered by Miao Zhengliu to go to Dongshuanghe Town to support the defenders there, but before it reached Dongshuanghe Town, it received Miao Zhengliu's order to stop advancing and began to garrison on the spot, because Dongshuanghe Town had already been occupied by the Red Army.

Soon after they stopped, the Red Army began to bombard Xinyang City, I don't know if it was because their small number here was not the focus of the Red Army's attack, or because they were too lucky, anyway, when the defenders in Xinyang City were ravaged by artillery fire, they did not suffer any blows and became spectators.

However, being a spectator also requires a psychological element. Seeing Xinyang City trembling in the rain of cannonballs, seeing those strong fortifications blown up into the sky by heavy shells, and seeing their comrades hiding in the fortifications being lifted into the air by the waves of explosions, they really couldn't stand it anymore when they were spectators, and they turned pale with fright and looked at each other one by one.

A word slowly rose and strengthened in their hearts: Run!

At the beginning, they could only bury the word "run" in their hearts, and did not dare to put it into action, did not dare to say it blatantly, at most, they tested each other among colleagues or friends, and talked to each other. Touch the bottom of your companion in a variety of ways.

When everyone goes from "wanting to run" at the beginning to slowly becoming firm to "want to run" and then further to "must run". When all the officers and soldiers reached a tacit agreement with each other to escape. When the artillery fire of the Red Army weakened slightly, a large cavalry force rushed out of the city and roared towards them.

The arrival of the cavalry unit surprised the troops, who had just reached a unity and were about to flee, and they thought that their side was going to flee in advance, and they involuntarily pointed their guns at the rushing cavalry in fear. The officers of the infantry division were even more nervous, fearing that the cavalry would attack them, that their escape plan would be discovered, and that this unit had come to capture them.

Thankfully. The commander of the cavalry unit who came and the friend of the division commander were the former subordinates of the division commander, and the cavalry who rushed over were not ready for battle.

In particular, as soon as the cavalry commander saw the infantry division on the opposite side as if it were facing a great enemy, he immediately understood why this was happening, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to stop advancing, and at the same time immediately contacted the commander of the infantry division.

The cavalry commander even openly made his attitude clear to the commander of the infantry division: "Sir, we are going to rush out, not waiting here for death." If you are willing to go with us, our cavalry will lead for you. Take you out with a qiē if you block. Then we will begin to charge, and we will see you as enemies standing in our way. ”

When the infantry division commander heard this, he was overjoyed, didn't he send a pillow when he was sleepy? He immediately responded, "We'll rush out with you!" ”

Soon, two units with the same purpose were assembled, and the like-minded people were so excited that they did not need to mobilize at all, and soon the cavalry began to charge with the front infantry behind.

It's just that they didn't pass directly from Dongshuanghe Town, but bypassed Dongshuanghe Town and headed east.

They are not stupid, the town of Dongshuanghe is now occupied by the Red Army, and it is not something that their troops can achieve if they want to take it back.

The sound of horses' hooves and shouts was earth-shattering, and the troops of nearly 10,000 people rushed to the east like a huge torrent.

Their commander told them that if they rushed out, they would be alive and that they would be free to move around. Now the main energy of the Red Army is concentrated in Xinyang City, there is no strength to intercept them at all, there is no energy to focus on them, and no one thought that they would escape.

Proudly, they simply noticed that puffs of green smoke suddenly came out of the front, and no one noticed that dozens of mortars and field guns had been set up in front of them, nor did they find dozens of heavy machine guns aimed at them.

With a roar, dozens of shells fell on the charging team, and the team suddenly turned on their backs and staggered, the screams of the wounded soldiers and the wails of the war horses came and went, and the stones raised by the shells flew in all directions, like shrapnel, shooting at a wider range of cavalry, reaping the lives of one soldier after another.

Mortar shells with a screech drew a graceful parabola, falling in the crowd of fleeing soldiers, the cavalry was constantly thrown to the ground, and countless infantry also flew into the air with air waves, turning into broken limbs and then falling to the ground.

However, this sudden blow did not stop the large army that had already been attacked, and the officers and soldiers who thought that they could escape were still running on their own initiative or force, and countless officers and soldiers thought that this was just a small unit of the Red Army, as long as they could break through the middle barrier, as long as they could increase their strength, they would be able to rush over, they would be able to survive, or they could destroy the enemy in front of them, and they would become heroes.

Thus, the horses were again speeded up by the cavalry, and the infantry was forced by the commander to charge again. Their mortars, light and heavy machine guns also fought back desperately, suppressing the fire of the Red Army in front.

Li Shangjun, the commander of the third battalion of the cavalry regiment who rushed to the front, stared at the blood-red eyes, held the bright saber high, and cursed loudly at the Red Army while shouting Chong Ah in his mouth, he really couldn't understand why the Red Bandits still had so many artillery and mortars here, and there were not many artillery pieces used to bombard Xinyang City. Could it be that the Red-bandits had more artillery around, how did they have such a fast line of defense here? How is it that this line of defense is not aimed at the outside, but at the inside?

Just when he charged, he felt that the hooves of his war horse were lame, and it seemed that he had stepped on a shallow pit, but the war horse still ran forward without stopping, and just when he was suspicious, there was a deafening loud noise behind him, and then a huge momentum slapped on his back, and the war horse also screamed in pain, and the horse fell down, although it did not fall, but the speed slowed down.

He involuntarily looked back, only to see several war horses following behind him, along with the cavalry on horseback, including his deputy battalion commander and communicator, all flying, all flying in the air with teeth and claws, and the front legs of a horse were shattered, and shrapnel slashed the horse's neck and belly, spurting out a stream of blood.

The warm horse's blood and the booty in the horse's belly splashed Li Shangjun's face, he knew that this was a mine planted by the enemy, but he didn't know why this mine was so powerful. At this moment, a loud bang sounded again in his left rear, and the two horses and two cavalry were torn apart again and thrown around......

Although Li Shangjun is brave and has never been intimidated since he became a soldier, even the violent shells in Xinyang City only made him feel weak, but the two scenes that happened just now made him frightened, his hand unconsciously tightened the reins, and the saber held high in his hand was slowly put down......

Watching the cavalry next to him surpass him one by one, not only did he not feel ashamed after being overtaken in the past, but secretly rejoiced in his heart: You rush, you rush ahead, I will run behind you.

At this moment, a dull and low roar of gunfire suddenly sounded in front, and I saw that a very light and heavy machine appeared in the dirt in front of me, at this time they were spraying tongues of fire, countless bullets screamed, sweeping the charging horse team, one horse after another fell, one knight after another was swept off the waist, the headless body or the bloody broken body rolled in the air, jumped on the horse's back, the air was sprinkled with broken limbs, it was blood, human blood, horse blood splashed in the air to form a red light, It looks unusually strange in the sunlight.

Li Shangjun knew that the heavy machine gun was the nemesis of the cavalry, so he secretly screamed in his heart, and hurriedly stuck his body on the horse's back, while driving the war horse to follow the other war horses, trying to avoid the oncoming bullet rain.

Bullets whizzed over his head and beside him, and the wailing of horses and the screams of soldiers could be heard in front of him and to his right and left, as well as the dull sound of soldiers falling to the ground and the popping of horses hitting the ground.

Li Shangjun's mind was blank now, he didn't know what to do, he just mechanically clinged to the horse's back, letting the war horse run on its own, and he even closed his eyes.

After running for a while, he felt that the gunshots were quiet, and there were no screams and wails around him. When he opened his eyes, he found that his horse had rushed into a hollow, and the undulating terrain provided just the right cover for the opponent's bullets.

He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a pang of joy.

He didn't whip his horse to gallop, and even pulled the reins of his horse to slow down the pace even more.

Soon, there were countless war horses running towards here, and everyone was crowded in this small safe area, but Li Shangjun immediately found that the situation was getting worse and worse, because the other party was too small, ten or eight war horses might be able to hide from the screaming bullets, but after more war horses poured in, he would be squeezed out by the cavalry from behind, or trampled to death by those war horses who were eager to squeeze in.

He looked around, raised his sword high, and shouted: "Brothers, we are not far from the Communists, as long as we rush through this pit, we can kill the hateful Communists, staying here is the same death, as long as a cannonball hits, we will have no bones left." Rush—"
