Chapter 1832 killing shock
Along the way, there were many problems, some were accidents, and some were man-made. After all, not everyone was willing to be taken to an unknown place, especially under the premise of transportation, there were horses on the carriage. Most young and middle-aged people in the west would ride horses, and some were riding well. Seeing the armored vehicles slowly around, it seemed that they did not live for a long time. The entire convoy seemed to be moving forward step by step. Some young people who thought they had the opportunity secretly unloaded the horses and ran away without carriage. They had never seen the maximum speed of tanks, nor did they see armored vehicles. They just felt that 10 or 20 kilometers were the fastest speed of armored vehicles. At the speed of fast horses of 35 kilometers per hour, as long as they could run out of this area, they would be saved.
The fear of last night made them not believe that the Japanese would let them go after they ordered them to do their jobs. They did not see the current situation in Salt Lake City, nor did they see the current situation of the armed forces sent to Ogden before. They could only judge the status quo based on what they knew with the help of these. They should be dispatched to perform a mission, but the more secret it is, the higher the chance of death.
A dozen bold people gathered together and then began to act. A total of 17 horses were unloaded from the nine carriages. Although the others in the car did not follow them, they did not organize them. They watched them get on the horse quickly and leave quickly in the gaps of the armored vehicles. The horse's speed increased to the highest level in a short period of time, and then escaped in several aspects.
The Japanese army seemed to be shocked by this action. At first, they did not react immediately. After these horses rushed through the defense line, at least more than twice the number of armored vehicles chased after them. The speed of 35 kilometers per hour is not something that every horse can achieve. It must be speed and endurance to a certain level. These horses were summoned casually from Salt Lake City. The weight can only be considered unsatisfactory. 30 kilometers passed, and less than 35 kilometers.
The approved speed of the armored vehicle can reach more than 35 kilometers per hour, and there is no heavy load, and it is only about half of the approved load. In this way, the accelerator can exceed 35 kilometers or even about 40 kilometers. Even the fastest horse can run, it cannot escape their pursuit, let alone the speed gap.
Although at the beginning, those who were caught off guard were pulled a certain distance by these escapees, the armored vehicles accelerated rapidly and slowly approached. If it were just a cavalry pursuit, they might have to be close enough. Even the pioneers could turn and detour to change directions, stretch the distance, and may have a chance to escape. Unfortunately, they encountered extremely fast armored vehicles and were armed to the teeth. The best way to deal with these fleeing cavalry was a machine gun. When the only machine gun on the armored vehicles turned the direction and then started attacking, the fate of these people was already decided.
The machine gun sounded like a tearing cloth, like a devil's sickle, and countless bullet links began to cover the escape. No matter how fast the horse ran, they could never run the bullet. When they were at their highest, they only opened more than 100 meters. After the armored vehicles were closer, everyone was shot dead, both of them and their horses.
Blood flowed into a river, not sure whether it was human or horse. When the armored vehicles that had created the killing returned, everyone was shuddering, but this was not over. Several armored vehicles came to the carriages with untied horses, and huge machine guns were aimed at them. Those people became a little panicked, and some of the poor psychological qualities almost got scared. Fortunately, the Japanese did not turn on the killing mode, but just a cold order. Everyone kept up, and if they couldn't keep up, they would kill them.
The cold words, coupled with the corpse lying down next to them, told the Americans that the Japanese were not good men and women, and they would not accommodate them. In fact, after those people were killed, these people regretted it. Why didn’t they stop them? But regret was useless. The entire convoy advanced at a speed of about 20 kilometers. This was the speed of a carriage. Without horses, it would be impossible to catch up. A kind-hearted person squeezed out a few horses and let the four cars have their horses again. However, the rest, no matter how dare they dare, they could not catch up. Some acquaintances, with the help of acquaintances, squeezed in some vehicles, and there were about 30 people left, and they could only chase the convoy.
How could two legs run through four legs? When they finally broke away from the last limit set by Japan, the ending was destined. The gunshots sounded at one time, which were very short, but even more cruel. Among the bullet links made of machine guns, more than 30 people fell in pools of blood and died.
The blood of more than 50 people finally awakened these Americans. Only then did they realize that they were really meat on the chopping board and could only obey the Japanese's requests. Otherwise, the Japanese would have to kill.
Even the Japanese army did not expect that after this emergency, they only killed a few people, and they had such a good effect. The speed was about 21 kilometers per hour before, and the Japanese slightly increased the speed to reach 24 kilometers. These American carriage convoys also followed, but the horses were a little hard. If they continued, the horses might die.
Even life may not be able to be saved. What is a horse? Horses serve people. Besides, these Japanese people also said that they only run at a speed of 60 or 70 kilometers and run for three hours at 20 kilometers. The horse cannot die.
It took about 2 hours to set off. When the convoy passed by Ogden about 5 kilometers away from Ogden, everyone stopped talking. This once-famous city is now white, and there is even a place where smoke and dust are coming out. One night is not enough to burn all the houses. Some of them have been extinguished, because today's daytime temperature and wind have ignited again. In short, the entire Ogden basically no longer exists. More than 3,000 buildings, and the remaining ones are no more than 10, are still dilapidated.
Although Salt Lake City was beaten miserably last night, most of them still exist. Apart from them, there were not many people who died. Although the total number was more than Ogden, and Ogden had only more than 10,000 people in total, for the survivors, most of them were fine. They were lucky enough to see Ogden's miserable situation, but when they saw Ogden's miserable situation, they didn't dare to say anything more. Some of them were completely honest with the idea of using some small movements in their hearts. Those people had not escaped before, because there was no cover. On the Great Plains, horses could not escape. However, Ogden was different. It was a city. As long as they hid in the city or used the help of the city to cover them, they might escape.
There are many people who think this way, and no one wants to move under the shadow of death. If it is an elderly person or a woman, they have no way to resist. Those who are gathered are all young and strong in their twenties and thirties, all of whom are powerful, and of course they do not want to do so.
The convoy did not approach Ogden, but ran around 5 kilometers of Ogden. Although they could see Ogden at a distance of 5 kilometers. To be precise, it was Ogden's former location, the broken bridge and crossing, proving that this was once a prosperous city. All other ideas were dispelled, and there was no way to dispel them. The Japanese were really cruel. It was not impossible to kill them, it might be just a trouble. If they angered the Japanese and killed them all, it would be troublesome.
When Americans are obedient, the Japanese are happy to be free. If you have a faster speed, you can reach your destination faster. For the cherry blossom plan, time is the most important thing, which can save a little time and has a good effect on the entire plan. Not to mention killing dozens of people, even one-third or even half of them is acceptable.
Within the specified time, even dozens of minutes in advance, we arrived at the destination. In fact, this was the case during this process. Apart from hurting a few horses, we encountered no problems. Japan did not take any action again. The Americans either gritted their teeth and squeezed, or continued on the basis of hurting the horses, and finally waited for the moment of arrival.
As the Japanese army issued a loud stop order, all the Americans seemed to have been pulled away from their last force. Some people collapsed to the ground, and even some horses fell to the ground. At this moment, no one cared about that much, just lay on the ground and rested as much as possible.
The Japanese commander in charge did not forcefully order them to get up. It doesn't matter. According to the plan, they should have arrived at Ogden before 5 o'clock. Now they have completed the task in excess. It is less than 4 o'clock, and there is still more than an hour before the agreed time for the plane to arrive. They have very little work to do before the plane arrives.
The Japanese army allowed these American troops to rest for about 20 minutes, and then began the order. When the Americans saw the armored vehicles approaching, they couldn't help but feel a little worried. Then they noticed that there was a very flat place around. If there was anything around, it was the Pacific Railway. What was the purpose of these Japanese people? Let them dig the railway and destroy the Pacific Railway? This seemed possible. This artery ran through the north and south of the United States, and perhaps this was one of the goals of the Japanese.
However, the Americans did not expect that the Japanese did not give them tools to dig the railway, but stopped near an open area, gathered the Americans together, and gave them a batch of tents, all without any windows and could not see the tents outside. They were ordered to start setting up tents.
I can't figure it out, but when people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? Americans dare not wait for the gun to press their foreheads before starting, and dig up honestly. Perhaps they are going to fight for a long time and dig off the railway. It's not a matter of one or two days. Without mechanical cooperation, it's just human power, it's inevitable for a long time.
