Chapter 836: Remorse and Helplessness

This may be the most anxious moment since Zeng Shui joined the army.

Especially when I saw a puff of smoke rising ten miles away.

Looking at the range of smoke, it must not have been caused by burning one house or two houses, it should have been a village, and Shui knew that no one but the Japanese would do it. And the Japanese, who were in the process of pacifying the occupied territories, would not do so easily.

The faint sound of rumbling horses' hooves confirmed the idea of water in the past. There, there are battles.

And he finally dared to conclude that the cavalry brigade had been deceived by the Japanese invaders.

The rugged mountain road covered in snow and ice made Zeng Shui jump off his horse as soon as he spotted the smoke, and galloped along the mountain with his Mosin Nagant in his hand. There, for sure, there are his brothers.

Zeng Shui, who had been lurking alone for two days and sniping at the Japanese army stationed 100 miles outside the Great Wall, had just returned to the base of the Deng Wen Cavalry Brigade in Qinglong Mountain a day earlier, and learned that a cavalry company had been on a mission for five days and had not yet returned.

Their mission was to attack a Japanese convoy from Chengde City as mentioned in the intelligence that had come from Chengde a few days before the inside line, and if everything went well, they should have returned to the camp the day before yesterday.

However, they were two days late, and there was no sign of them within a radius of fifty miles.

Of course, this is actually nothing, because to avoid the subsequent retaliation and pursuit of the Japanese army, it is not uncommon for the cavalry to go around in a circle with the Japanese in the Rehe Mountains for ten days and a half months. But Zeng Shui couldn't help but be a little anxious, and the cavalry platoon went out on a mission together, as well as the new recruit of the special brigade.

"Diao Ye of the dog day did not listen to Lao Tzu's orders and went out to fight without authorization." Once when Shui heard the news, he almost didn't bite his back molars.

Yes, the second male eagle master is the boss of the water in the cottage, but in the special brigade, he is an out-and-out recruit, even if he is now a second lieutenant, but in the special operations duo composed of these two people, the senior soldier Zeng Shui is still his leader.

As Zeng Shui, who grew up with the second male eagle since he was a child, he knows himself too well as the boss, and his martial arts are worth no one in the whole cottage, and he is good at wisdom and foolishness, but he is too kind-hearted and impulsive, but he is easy to be lured out by cruel enemies with stratagems.

To put it bluntly, in the opinion of Zeng Shui, who has experienced a year of actual combat with pirates, the current and past Eagle Ye can be a good brother, but now he is definitely not a good teammate, his heart is not tough enough, and he still needs to be sharpened.

Therefore, in the past two months, Zeng Shui has basically gone out on missions with him and never let him act alone. But I didn't expect that just a few days after he left, this guy ran out alone.

Judging from the sneak attack mission carried out by this cavalry platoon, there is hardly anything wrong with it. The inner line is a groom of the Japanese garrison headquarters in Chengde City, because his wife and children died in the fire of the Japanese attack on Rehe two years ago and hated the Japanese invaders, and last spring he connected with the dark line buried by Deng Wen in Chengde City, and there should be no problem in terms of loyalty.

Moreover, he calculated the size of the convoy by assigning feed to the mules and horses, and the convoy was destined for a few words revealed by drinking with the puppet officers who accompanied him. Deng Wen's cavalry brigade has received at least three such information, and the first two were successful sneak attacks, one of which even had a Japanese cavalry squad of more than 40 people plus a company of puppet army escort, which was completely wiped out by a cavalry battalion sent by Deng Wen. More than a dozen carts were captured, enough supplies for a Japanese infantry squadron to live for a month.

This time the intelligence shows that the Japanese invaders were only escorted by a cavalry squad and a platoon of puppet army troops to Heilongji, which is 180 miles away from Chengde and 130 miles away from Qinglong Mountain, to gather the living materials of a Japanese infantry squad, and a cavalry company of more than 60 men and horses has an advantage in strength against them, plus they are waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, so there is no big problem.

The equipment of the current Deng Wen cavalry brigade is not the same as when it was chased around by the Japanese invaders in the northeast before, a cavalry company is not only equipped with heavy machine guns but also mortars, and it is not too simple to deal with a Japanese cavalry detachment of only seven or eight people, as for the puppet army with a platoon of more than 30 people, who takes their combat effectiveness into account?

The intelligence is normal, the troops are superior, everything seems to be normal, but they just haven't returned yet. The vigilance in the heart of the water couldn't help but rise in a straight line. The more normal it seems, the more abnormal it is. The Japanese are not stupid, in less than three months, they were ambushed twice in a row and suffered heavy losses, and they dared to send only this little force to a stronghold 180 miles away?

Zeng Shui immediately found Deng Wen and told him what he thought. After frowning and thinking for a long time, Deng Wen decided to send two cavalry battalions of nearly 400 cavalry along the line to search for the cavalry company, but in order to prevent reinforcements from being surrounded by the Japanese invaders, enough reconnaissance cavalry must be dispatched, and most of the cavalry cannot be easily attacked.

Because he was worried about the safety of the eagle master, Zeng Shui could not bear to follow most of the cavalry, so he simply acted as a sharp soldier and set off in advance, and most of the cavalry is still at least ten miles away.

Once the water was rushing towards the battlefield of his imagination.

However, the second man he was worried about was not on the battlefield as he imagined.

Eagle Ye was pressed to death by two big men in the Northeast wearing big leather jackets and dogskin hats, pressed in the snow, even if the tears in his eyes were rolling and his eyes were about to split, the two pairs of big hands still pressed him to death.

However, while the two big men desperately held down the eagle master, they also had two lines of tears on their faces, because the weather was cold, and the teardrops were frozen into two ice edges and hung on their weather-covered faces.

"You two dogs, let go of Lao Tzu! Let Lao Tzu go to the little devil of the dog day. The eagle master roared and tried to break free from the grip of the two big men.

But the strength of the two big men who took the lead was obviously not given in vain, and they pressed him to prevent him from getting up.

"Master Diao, Boss Zhou said, Lao Tzu and the two are dead, and I have to send you back to Qinglong Mountain, otherwise I'm sorry for Chief Liu." One of the big men looked at the battlefield at the bottom of the mountain and said with a painful face.

"It was Lao Tzu who harmed the brothers, you let Lao Tzu die with them!" The green tendons on the eagle master's neck exploded, and he struggled desperately.

"Master Diao, Lao Tzu will die if he dies, but those little brothers don't deserve to die!" The other big man closed his eyes in the same pain.

Behind them, there were several teenagers no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, hiding in the snow-covered grass nests, their faces frightened.

"Ah~~~~~h

The second cargo man may not have thought about it in his life, regret and anger like today, and he has never been helpless.

The battlefield was at the foot of the mountain, which was only more than 300 meters away from him, and it was only a 1,000-square-meter mountain col. A group of cavalrymen in sheepskin jackets was attacking a group of cavalry in yellow cotton coats. But it was evident that the cavalry in yellow cotton coats outnumbered the sheepskin jackets.

number of people, at least four times as many as theirs.

Like the cavalrymen who were charging, the second cargo man was not afraid of death, even if the number of Japanese cavalry was as high as two cavalry squadrons.

Eagle Ye regretted it very much, as a scout, he had expanded his reconnaissance scope to ten miles away from Chengde in the sneak attack two days ago, and everything was normal. Except for a squad of Japanese cavalry and a platoon of puppet infantry escorting Japanese supplies, he did not notice anything abnormal.

However, when they completely annihilated the infantry platoon and began to pursue the Japanese cavalry detachment, a large group of Japanese cavalry appeared in the opposite direction that could not have appeared, and in the direction of Qinglong Mountain.

Obviously, they fell for the Japanese invaders.

As a scout, he failed to discover the ambush of the Japanese troops, which was obviously dereliction of duty. But what the most regrettable thing for the eagle master is far more than this.

The strongest ability of the cavalry is mobility, even if the Japanese have the strength of two squadrons, but the cavalry company is not given for nothing, and it can't escape if it can't be beaten! However, these Japanese invaders apparently also received the death order, and kept chasing them, and went around in circles with the Japanese in the mountains for three days, until the heavy machine guns and mortars had run out of shells and bullets and were forced to throw them into the valley, and they did not completely get rid of the Japanese invaders.

Finally, I got rid of the distance of more than ten miles from the Japanese invaders, and came to this col called Gushantun, and got a chance to breathe.

However, he even preferred to die in the mountains with the Japanese invaders, and regretted coming here.
