"God, are you going to kill me, Jiucun Jiuzang?"

Looking at the falling snow, the chief of staff of the 20th Division couldn't help but feel sad.

He had decided to abandon Yangcheng and attack Jincheng with his entire army.

This means that these 1,500 cavalrymen will advance or retreat, die or live.

In order to achieve the purpose of unexpected combat, the cavalry regiment did not carry much supplies when it set off. The Yicheng County and Quwo garrisons that might have come to provide support were also restrained by the sudden arrival of the Central Army.

The cavalry regiment was completely alone, with no logistics or reinforcements.

After crossing Yangcheng, the cavalry regiment will completely enter the enemy's hinterland.

If you retreat, you will definitely be surrounded by Yangcheng's defenders. Only by moving forward can you have any chance of turning the tide.

As long as the 40th Brigade can be saved, the 28th Cavalry Regiment has nothing to fear even if it is completely killed.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the farewell telegram has been sent to the division commander, and the warriors are also ready!"

Captain Shigeru Fujita said solemnly.

"call!"

Kimura Jiuzou took a deep breath, and squeezed the command knife at his waist with his right hand.

"Set off!!!"

The snow on the ground has covered the horses' hooves, which makes the sound of the horses moving much quieter than usual.

Snowflakes were falling on their heads, and 1,500 Japanese cavalry were sitting on horseback with solemn expressions. They were very clear about their next fate, but no one showed any sign of timidity.

The warriors of the Japanese Empire have long since put life and death at risk. They are also willing to give up their kind mothers in their hometown and their beautiful wives and children for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor.

The horses couldn't pick up speed in the wind and snow, so Kushimura Kushiro and Fujita Shigeru could only order the soldiers to advance slowly. They believed that the wind and snow would stop at some point, and that would be the best time for the cavalry to attack.

There was a heavy wind and snow, and the Chinese troops in Yangcheng knew nothing about their departure. This gave Jiucun Jiuzang more confidence in the assault on Jincheng.

In order not to get lost in the wind and snow, Shigeru Fujita sent the best old knights to clear the way ahead.

The team marched cautiously, and an air of generosity to die hung over the queue.

As the war horse keeps bumping, the knight on the horse will shake his body from time to time.

In addition to the sound of wind and snow, what the Japanese soldiers heard most clearly was the heavy breathing of the war horses.

"Bang!"

Suddenly I remembered that the sound of gunshots not only scared the Japanese soldiers, but also scared the horses underneath them.

In this monotonous wind and snow, the gunfire sounded as clear as thunder.

The people and horses all looked up and looked directly ahead of the road, but they couldn't see clearly because of the wind and snow.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of gunfire suddenly became intensive, and flashes of gunfire could be heard in the wind and snow.

"Bagaya road!"

"All warriors prepare for battle!"

Shigeru Fujita drove his horse forward and squinted at the firefight a hundred meters away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Stray bullets pierced the snow and whizzed towards the back of the road.

"hiss!"

The war horse behind let out a trace of mourning and fell to the ground in pain. The blood flowing from the horse's neck dyed the white snow red.

"Your Excellency, Captain, an army suddenly appeared in front of us. The wind and snow were so heavy that I couldn't see exactly how many people there were, but the enemy killed a dozen of our frontline warriors in one glance. I think there were at least 300,000 people in the front."

A group!”

A man who looked like a squad leader came back on horseback to report.

Kimura Jiuzou also caught up from behind at this time, and he could hear the squad leader's report clearly.

After thinking for a while, the Chief of Staff guessed the enemy's intention.

"This army must be going to reinforce Yangcheng. Fortunately, we rushed out in advance, otherwise we would have been surrounded by the Chinese army!"

He wiped the snowflakes from his forehead,

"Fujita-kun, the matter has come to this, we can only charge forward desperately and eliminate all Chinese who dare to block it!"

"There are not many Chinese troops in Jincheng. As long as we can defeat the enemy in front of us, Jincheng will be ours!"

From the moment it left Yangcheng, the cavalry company had no way out. Shigeru Fujita drew the saber from his waist and

"Warriors, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The first brigade will encircle the left, the second brigade will encircle the right, and the third brigade will attack along the road with me. Use the fastest time to kill the army on the opposite side!!"

"Samurai of the Japanese Empire, attack!"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Thousands of sabers were unsheathed at the same time, and a snowflake the size of a goose feather fell from the sky onto the saber, and was split into two by the sharp edge.

"Sneeze...sneeze..." The war horse snorted uneasily.

.

.

"Captain, the little devil cavalry is coming!"

A second lieutenant platoon leader of the 354th Regiment stumbled back from the front.

Gu Quan had completely understood the current situation. The Japanese cavalry must have wanted to attack Jincheng, but by chance they collided head-on with his own regiment.

"Everyone build positions on both sides of the road, quick!"

Since it was a sudden encounter, the Japanese cavalry must not have reacted for a while.

The visibility in the wind and snow was very low, and the enemy could not be seen, which gradually filled the hearts of the soldiers of the 354th Regiment with fear.

The Japanese have 2,000 cavalry, but we only have 1,500 on our side. How can we stop them?

Under the fear of the unknown, some grassroots commanders and fighters of the 354th Regiment also panicked.

There is no doubt that they want to beat the little devil happily. However, the battlefield in the wind and snow in front of them is a little different from what they expected. In this environment where they can't see anything clearly, they feel as if they are prey.

Become uneasy.

Gu Quan was a little panicked at the first moment, but he knew that the troops must not be in chaos now. They couldn't outrun the Japanese war horses with their feet alone.

"Haven't you always been looking forward to beating up the little Japs? Now that they are here, what do you have to fear?" Gu Quan said to himself in his heart.

"Swish..."

With trembling hands, the soldiers began to build positions on both sides of the road.

"Bang bang bang..."

"ah……"

On the road ahead, the leading troops of the enemy and ours were constantly exchanging fire.

"Puff..."

It didn't take long for the gunfire to stop, and then there was the sound of extremely dense trampling on the snow.

"The light and heavy machine guns are in front, everyone is ready, the little devil is about to start charging!"

Gu Quan swallowed his saliva and shouted loudly,

"There are no cowards among us Shanxi men. I'll give you a good beating soon!"

The soldiers of the 354th Regiment clenched their guns tightly. Whether it was because of the cold weather or because they were too nervous, many of them had teeth chattering and their bodies trembling.

"Sneeze...sneeze..."

The snoring of the war horses seemed to come from all directions, and the soldiers heard it particularly clearly.

"Puff puff puff..."

The sound of horse hooves trampling on the snow is also very clear.

The soldiers' eyes were fixed straight ahead, but because of the heavy wind and snow, they could not even see the enemy's shadow.

"Gu..."

Many people swallow saliva involuntarily.

All the external conditions were obtained through both ears, which multiplied the fear in the hearts of the soldiers. Many even felt that there seemed to be a giant beast trying to swallow them up in the wind and snow.

"beat!!!"

The visibility was too low, and Gu Quan could only judge the distance between the two sides by sound.

"Da da da..."

After hearing the order, the soldiers pulled the trigger one after another.

The bullets passed through the wind and snow, and they didn't know whether they hit the enemy.

"Puff puff puff..."

The footsteps of the war horses became more and more urgent, getting closer and closer, accompanied by the wild howls of the Japanese soldiers.

Under the instinct of survival, many soldiers have quietly stretched their legs back.
