Chapter 2080 A Brief Test of the Sword (Part 1)

"This year's snow is really heavy!" said a soldier named Liu Houcai.

"You call this snow heavy? Damn, it's just drizzle!" Shan Fei disagreed.

"How heavy is the snow in your three northeastern provinces?" Liu Houcai asked.

Liu Houcai is from Shandong and can be said to be a local. He joined Shang Zhenying with Shen Mugen.

In his impression, the snow that just fell this year was not small. The snow was already over his feet.

He was naturally curious about the heavy snow in the Northeast.

"Let me tell you this, if there is a big smoke bubble in our Gada, it will not stop for three days and three nights. Once the wind blows, you can't see people within two or three meters. Not to mention that children can be blown away, adults will get lost!" Shan Fei said proudly.

"I'm telling you how heavy the snow is and how thick it is after it falls. Who told you that it blows smoke snow." Liu Houcai felt that Shan Fei's answer was irrelevant.

"Normally, the snow reaches the knees in winter. But if it is in the leeward part of the forest, with trees blocking the way, the snow will pile up as high as a house!" Shan Fei got to the point.

"Really? As high as a house?" Liu Houcai was incredulous. He looked at Ma Tianfang, who had one arm, in surprise.

"Do you think we are bragging? Really, Shan Fei married his wife in winter. When he married his wife, his family didn't build a house. He just dug a hole in the snow and consummated the marriage with his wife!" Ma Tianfang said seriously.

"Hoo", all the soldiers who heard it laughed. The Shandong soldiers didn't see how big the snow was in the Northeast, but Ma Tianfang's saying that Shan Fei married his wife and went into a snow house was bullshit!

Yes, at least the snow here this year was quite heavy.

Wang Laomao and the three company commanders Chu Tian, ​​Cheng Peng, and Liu Keqiang were also looking at the snow in the fields at this time.

"I really want to go back home!" Wang Laomao sighed as he looked at the white snow.

Wang Laomao's sigh naturally aroused the homesickness of the three people. After a while, Cheng Peng, who was the first to react, suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Wang, you can't catch up with me."

Wang Laomao turned his head and looked over with a confused look, which was exactly what he meant by "Why do you say that?"

"Hehe, if I had married a young wife and had a baby, I wouldn't miss my hometown!" Cheng Peng laughed.

After Cheng Peng said this, the others all laughed. Wang Laomao also laughed and cursed, "You little bastard!"

The others laughed for a while, and Wang Laomao said seriously, "Okay, stop making trouble, and talk about business." Then he looked at the white snow and said thoughtfully, "Qian Chuan'er sent back a letter saying that the Japanese raids have not changed.

We originally wanted to protect some local people, so can we do something about the snow?"

A day later, the black puppet army and the yellow Japanese army moved forward like a long snake in the same white world.

The puppet soldiers all walked with their sleeves tucked in and guns in their arms, while the Japanese soldiers behind them were carrying long Type 38 rifles and walking in high spirits.

Some puppet soldiers took advantage of the officers' inattention to whisper "It's really fucking cold", while many Japanese soldiers were breathing the fresh air, as if they were back in their native Japan.

"The little devils have learned their lesson this time." Qian Chuan'er, who was observing the Japanese army with a telescope on a small hill a few hundred meters away, said.

"What?" Gu Xihuai, who was lying next to Qian Chuan'er, asked.

"They brought cavalry this time, and there are several people looking to both sides with telescopes. You can try to keep your faces down." Qian Chuan'er said.

The other soldiers next to him did not raise their heads to look up as Qian Chuan'er said, and they all glanced at the Japanese army in the distance from under the white cloth covering their heads.

"It seems that there are not many cavalry." Gu Xihuai said as he looked at them.

"Don't underestimate the cavalry. If they chase us at a critical moment, we can't outrun them." Qian Chuan'er said.

"Then we have to tell Uncle Wang and the others as soon as possible." Gu Xihuai said.

"Even if we tell Uncle Wang and the others, we have to find a way." Qian Chuan'er said, then he put down the telescope and looked at the soldiers on the left and right, "Do you dare to deal with the Japanese first and harm their cavalry?"

"Why not?" A soldier named Han Zhuang directly answered.

Qian Chuan'er smiled and looked at Gu Xihuai.

He had to listen to Gu Xihuai's opinion. Han Zhuang had more courage but less strategy.

At this time, Gu Xihuai had picked up Qian Chuan'er's telescope and was also observing the situation of the Japanese army.

"More than 30 cavalrymen, and the rest are horses pulling carts. If we shoot, the Japanese cavalry will rush over. How can we fight?" Gu Xihuai put down the telescope and looked at Qian Chuan'er.

"Just shoot one by one!" Han Zhuang disagreed.

"Stop talking nonsense, we only have ten people and ten horses, the Japanese will rush and encircle, can our ten people beat more than 30 Japanese?" Gu Xihuai directly refuted.

Qian Chuan'er and his men were out for reconnaissance. Since they were the first people in Shang Zhen's camp to come into contact with the Japanese army, and in order to facilitate the transmission of information, they all rode out this time.

"If you can't win, just run!" Han Zhuang still didn't agree with what Gu Xihuai said.

"Shut up, I'm surprised how you can survive until now, you are almost the second Hu Zhuzi.

As for our horses, there are only three big foreign horses of the little Japanese devils. The rest of these horses are faster than human legs. Can you outrun the little Japanese cavalry?" Gu Xihuai showed the prestige of an old soldier when he was angry.

Gu Xihuai is small but experienced, while Han Zhuang is tall but inexperienced. According to Gu Xihuai, Han Zhuang is the kind of half-baked person who thinks he can swim in any river just after learning how to dog paddle!

Seeing Gu Xihuai staring, Han Zhuang pouted and dared not say a word.

"Why do we have to fight like this?" Qian Chuaner smiled, and then glanced at the Japanese army approaching from afar. Now the Japanese army is the closest distance to them, about 400 meters.

"I have a new idea. Do you think this way of fighting will work?" Qian Chuaner asked.

So, behind the ridge of the hill, nine heads gathered together and listened to Qian Chuaner alone.

This time, including Qian Chuaner, there were a total of ten people. Now there were nine people lying on the top of the hill, and all of them were covered with white cloth, even their heads were covered. The tenth one did not cover his body with white cloth, but was watching their ten horses from behind the hill.

The Japanese battalion leader Qingzhong sat on his horse and kept looking at the snow fields on both sides.

Qingzhong is now also troubled by the guerrilla warfare of the Chinese army.

The Chinese army he mentioned includes the Eighth Route Army and the Shang Zhen Battalion of the Northeast Army.

The Eighth Route Army is superior in that they are both soldiers and civilians. Although the losses caused to their Imperial Japanese Army each time are not large, the losses added up are quite considerable.

The Shang Zhen Battalion is superior in that its soldiers are elite. Although the battles are not as frequent as the Eighth Route Army, they are beaten very hard every time.

Fortunately, the Shang Zhen Battalion has too few troops after all. Although his Qingzhong Battalion also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Wujiapo, it was replenished after all. However, according to the information sent back by Xu Lang, the Shang Zhen Battalion is only a remnant.

So this time he just took the opportunity of this sweep to completely eliminate all of Shang Zhen.
