Chapter 849 No matter how you choose, you will die (two chapters in one)
"Noda-kun, the soldiers are too tired. Should you let everyone stop and rest for a few minutes, take a breath before leaving!" The captain of the major in the reinforcement force suggested.
He called Noda as another squad leader, but his rank was Nakasa, and his own rank was just a minor. When the two infantry brigades acted together, Noda Nakasa naturally became the commander of the entire army.
Seeing Noda Nakasa frowning and not responding, the captain of the major immediately said his reason: "This place is getting closer and closer to the battlefield. If a National Salvation Army suddenly comes to us, the soldiers are so tired again. It is likely that they don't even have the strength to fight back at that time, which is too dangerous!"
"We have robbed the previous marching for more than an hour. Stop and rest for more than ten minutes before marching forward. It should not be too long!"
Noda Nakasa looked back at the team in front and behind, and his already frowning frown became deeper at this time.
Because of the continuous marching, they had to fight to Jinzhong two hours in advance. Under the stimulation of the ocean, every soldier tried his best to move forward, fearing that he would be too late for him to go there, and the reward of ten oceans slipped away from him.
If it were two or three years ago, the Japanese would not take ten oceans seriously.
As the war gets bigger and bigger, Japan's domestic economy is getting worse and worse, and the Japanese military pay has been no longer paid in full since two years ago.
To this day, it is great that ordinary soldiers receive military pay every month that they have achieved as much as before.
Fortunately, they were in charge of food in the army, otherwise the military pay was not enough for them to eat for a month. But their families who stayed in the country were miserable, and the meager military pay was not enough for their lives.
In this case, the military suddenly gave out ten dollars to reward them, which was tantamount to solving the urgent needs of ordinary soldiers.
With these rewards, their families who stay in the country can live a better life in the next two or three months at least.
After several hours of desperate marching, the Japanese were so tired that they were panting and pale. But in order not to let the fat that bites their mouth slip away, they still gritted their teeth and continued on their way.
At this moment, the front of the team suddenly became chaotic, and then a lieutenant ran towards them with a pale face: "Sir, two soldiers were so tired that they fainted from foaming at the mouth because of the long march. They could not continue to move forward!"
The captain of the major became anxious as soon as he heard this: "Noda-kun, give an order!"
"The physical energy consumed by the soldiers has reached its limit. If they don't rest, more soldiers will definitely faint because they are too tired. Those soldiers who have not faint will lose their combat effectiveness because they are too tired. If they are attacked by the National Salvation Army, everyone will have the life to be massacred and they will not even have the strength to raise their guns to counterattack!"
Noda Nakasa clenched his fist tightly, and his blue veins were exposed, and he felt very unwilling.
His initial plan was to fight the reinforcements to Jinzhong in one go, and beat the siege troops of the National Savior Army, caught them off guard, and then slowly clean up the National Savior Army in the city after defeating the National Savior Army.
But he underestimated the huge consumption of the troops' physical strength by marching urgently.
Looking at the troops around him that were almost losing their combat effectiveness, he knew that the Major's analysis was correct, frowned and looked unhappy with an order: "The army stopped moving forward, rested on the spot for fifteen minutes, replenished the dry food and physical strength, and then rushed to Jinzhong in one go, caught the national rescue army off guard!"
"Yo Xi, I can finally rest!" The Japanese collapsed on the ground when they heard the order, and the tense force also relaxed at this moment.
Because it is midnight now, almost everyone is awakened in their sleep and reinforced Jinzhong, and they want to go to bed.
In addition, the urgent marching consumed almost all their physical strength. When they marched just now, under the stimulation of military discipline and the ocean, they did not feel sleepy.
Now the troops stopped to rest. Without the stimulation of military discipline and oceans, a very strong sense of sleepiness quickly hit my heart.
Many Japanese slumped on the ground and started to sleep loudly, and they couldn't wake up no matter how much they called.
As for replenishing dry food, the Japanese were so tired at this moment that they just wanted to lie on the ground and take a good breath. Even if they delivered the dry food to their mouths, they would not have the strength to take a bite.
The captain of the major was very vigilant, otherwise he would not have reminded Noda Nakasa to let the troops stop and rest for ten minutes just now.
Seeing that all the troops were slumped on the ground, and many people had closed their eyes and started to sleep loudly, without any warning at all, they immediately reminded Noda Nakasa: "Noda, although everyone is very tired, they just collapsed on the ground to rest, and there is not even a person keeping a watch, which is too dangerous. It is best to arrange two infantry squadrons to guard us around. In case of an enemy attack, we can also prepare in advance!"
Noda Nakasa was particularly upset.
He suggested that he just asked the troops to stop and rest. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he finally agreed.
The soldiers had just lie on the ground to rest, and before they could recover, he asked himself to arrange the troops to patrol and guard. Shouldn't these troops responsible for guarding rest?
Moreover, his military rank is Zhongzuo. Although both sides are captains, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire reinforcement force.
The other party made this opinion to him and that opinion to him sometimes is like treating himself as a treasure. People who don’t know the inside thought that he is the commander-in-chief of the reinforcement force.
Facing the Major's worried gaze, he retorted without hesitation: "No need!"
"There is almost ten kilometers away from Jinzhong. It will take more than an hour for the infantry to march quickly. Moreover, our intelligence officers and scouts are not vegetarians. If the National Salvation Army came from Jinzhong County to attack us, the troops would definitely get news at least half an hour in advance, which is enough for us to prepare for the battle!"
"The soldiers are tired enough, so don't make trouble. Let everyone hurry up and rest. After the rest, we will strive to fight to Jinzhong and kill the siege troops of the National Savior Army."
The Major felt that Noda Nakasa had considered this matter too simply, but he could not think of a reason to refute it. Moreover, the soldiers around him were really tired. It would be really difficult to get them to stand up from the ground to alert him now, so he could only nod and end the topic.
Behind a mountain ridge two kilometers away, the cavalry battalion and four garrison cavalry companies were all lying here, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements.
When the Japanese army was about to come to the front and back, the cavalry suddenly launched an attack and caught the Japanese off guard.
Use the powerful assault capabilities of the cavalry battalion to quickly interweave, disrupt them, and then destroy them.
As a result, he did not wait for the Japanese to reinforce the troops, but instead waited for the scout he sent out. When he saw him, he reported it with a anxious look on his face.
"Battery Commander, there is something ahead!"
"The Japanese suddenly stopped moving two kilometers away from us. Nearly two thousand Japanese were collapsed on the ground to rest, and there was no arrangement for the guard post!" Tao Yongsheng showed a disbelief and suspicion on the spot: "How is this possible? This is not the first time we are fighting the Japanese. Although they are arrogant, their vigilance is very high no matter what time. If you say that they only sent a small number of sentries, I still believe that how could a sentry be arranged without a single sentry unless their commander took the wrong medicine!"
The investigator's face was suddenly flushed red. He looked at Tao Yongsheng and replied firmly: "Battery Commander, what I said just now is true. The Japanese were too tired and fell to the ground and started to sleep loudly, so they did not send troops to patrol and guard!"
"In order to see more clearly, I kept touching until I was thirty or forty meters away from the highway, and if I stayed in a position with the wind, I could even hear the snoring of the Japanese sleeping clearly.
Tao Yongsheng was persuaded by the investigator and looked up at the deputy battalion commander beside him.
He is an old cavalry supported by the division headquarters and an old Red Army, with rich combat experience.
When Tao Yongsheng looked at him, the two seemed to have a connection. He also looked at Tao Yongsheng. The two of them met in the air, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"Battery Commander...Deputy Battalion Commander...You talk first!"
When you agree, you speak at the same time, and even the words you say are exactly the same.
Tao Yongsheng smiled: "Time is limited, so I will talk about my own thoughts first, Deputy Battalion Commander, you will talk about it later."
"The Japanese reinforcements came from Taiyuan and rushed for several hours in a row, and were very tired. Now it is the time for a person to doze off the bed. We have no feeling of rest during the day. The Japanese did not rest during the day, so they must be very sleepy now."
"A person is tired and sleepy. He will definitely be able to sleep loudly if he lie down. He can't wake up even with a whip."
"I think the Japanese are in this situation, otherwise they wouldn't be so tired that they didn't even arrange patrol soldiers or guard posts!"
"If we take the opportunity to touch it and launch a raid one or two hundred meters away from the Japanese, and we will attack from all directions in a company, we will definitely end the battle with the minimum cost."
The deputy battalion commander immediately responded: "My thoughts are similar to yours. Let's set off immediately, touch them without disturbing a Japanese, and then suddenly launch an attack and catch the Japanese off guard!"
He did it as he said, and more than a thousand cavalry led their horses out of the hiding point. Under the cover of night, they quickly touched the Japanese resting place.
Noda marches on horseback, consuming much less physical strength than ordinary soldiers.
After just ten minutes of rest, he felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot and he had the strength to continue to fight toward Jinzhong.
The soldiers who collapsed on the ground were not as good as him. The ten-minute rest only gave them a breath, and it would take at least half an hour to recover their strength.
Moreover, when people are particularly tired, they are more and more sleepy as they sleep. After a quick glance around, no soldier was awake, and they all fell to the ground and were sleeping soundly.
Noda Nakasa originally wanted to wake everyone up in advance, but after seeing this scene, he decided to let them sleep for fifteen minutes before setting off.
At this time, the cavalry troops that could maneuver quickly had already touched about five hundred meters away from the Japanese.
In order to avoid the sound of horse hooves waking up the Japanese in their sleep and not giving them time to prepare in advance, Tao Yongsheng led the cavalry troops to a position 500 meters away from the target and took the initiative to let the cavalry dismount, led the horses to hike forward, and continued to approach the attack target.
When the two sides were less than two hundred meters away, Noda Nakasa raised his brows and felt a trace of danger slowly approaching him. He immediately called the sleeping guard beside him to get up and be on guard.
But they slept so hard that after a long time, only a few people woke up.
"Boom..."
At the same moment, the dull sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and suddenly it sounded next to the highway. Moreover, these roaring sounds of horse hooves were not heard from one location, and there were the same sound in several directions.
After being killed and injured, Saku Noda Nakaku knew that there were a large number of cavalry surrounding him and he heard the sound.
At this time, the remaining Japanese people woke up from their sleep without reminding Noda Nakasa.
When they rubbed their eyes and realized the danger, the cavalry holding the sabers had already reached a distance of 60 or 70 meters away from the highway, and the cavalry's assault speed increased to the extreme, and they could kill the road in at most four or five seconds.
At this moment, because they were too tired, many people didn't even have the strength to raise the gun. Even if they lifted the gun, their weak hands could only aim with trembling. Only God knew where the bullets were fired.
"Fire light and heavy machine guns immediately. Only you can block the cavalry and prevent them from rushing to the highway. Fire up, otherwise it will be too late!" Major Noda screamed more and more anxiously.
Seeing a soldier who was busy operating the crooked handle in his hand, he was not ready for shooting for a long time. He rushed over in three steps and took two steps, snatching the crooked handle and becoming a machine gunner himself!
"Da da da da...b...b...b..."
Because the surprise attack came too suddenly, the Japanese were very tired, their vigilance and reaction speed were greatly reduced. In the end, only a small number of Japanese were joined in the battle at the last moment.
But their blocking firepower is too sparse, and it is like a mantis chariot in front of a powerful cavalry unit, and it has no effect.
Noda Nakasa personally operated the crooked hand and killed the two fastest cavalrymen with the move.
Although he was very happy, he also exposed his position during the shooting and was targeted by several cavalrymen rushing towards him.
"Kill..." A cavalry platoon leader shouted, holding a sabre and rushing over Noda Nakasa.
Noda Nakasa suddenly panicked, quickly threw down his crooked hand, pulled out his command knife and fought back.
But the huge inertia brought by the cavalry was not something he could resist.
The moment the saber and the command knife came into contact, even the sparks came out.
Noda Nakasa was cut back several steps before he could stabilize, but the cavalry platoon leader who had attacked him just now did not always get entangled with him. He swept past him with the war horses and raised his sabre to kill the next Japanese.
As for Noda Nakasa, there are cavalry behind him to deal with him.
"Kill..." A sword light shook through the corner of Noda Nakasa's eyes, and another bright saber slashed from other directions.
Noda Nakasa quickly swung his sword to stop him, but the saber with huge force still slashed his shoulder, leaving a three-inch-long bloody hole to be completely blocked.
He had used most of Noda Nakasa's strength twice in a row and had his shoulder injured. If there was a third cavalry coming towards him, he would definitely be defeated.
At some point, Noda Nakasa's face turned pale.
"Kill..." Before he could take a breath, the third cavalry had already rushed towards him...
Although Major Noda tried his best to block, he still did not block the sharp blade of the horse sword...
A stream of blood gushed out from the knife on his neck, and he fell to the ground with his big eyes staring openly.
