On the road from Pukou to Pucheng, Dong Jiu Nianyan was galloping on his horse.
Seeing the vigorous posture of Higashikawa Ninyan's galloping horse, the chief of staff of the 10th Division, Tsutsumi Bujia, looked a little complicated. He turned to the division commander of the 10th Division, Xiaozhu Yoshio, and said: "Division Commander , is it really okay for His Highness Nianyan to hold an impromptu equestrian competition on China's territory without any scruples? Doesn't he know that in order to ensure his safety, an entire regiment of soldiers is on high alert? "
Xiaozhu Yinan waved his hand and said: "It's not a bad idea, haven't you heard that His Highness Nian Yan had three major hobbies in his life: alcohol, horses, and women? Please be considerate."
"As a soldier, any one of these three hobbies can be fatal," Tsubuuga said.
Xiaozhu Yinan said: "However, His Highness Nianyan is not only a soldier, but also a child of the royal family."
Tsubujiagui said: "This is what Beizi is most confused about. I really can't understand why the base camp sent such a young man to serve as the commander of the 2nd Army? Don't the bureaucrats in the base camp know that just because Is this extremely stupid decision of theirs likely to result in the death of thousands or even tens of thousands of imperial warriors?”
Xiaozhu Yinan said: "The embankment is not covered with mulberry trees, so be careful what you say."
Just as Dongjiu Nianyan galloped back on his horse, Di Bujiagui obediently closed his mouth.
This little devil is upright, but he is not stupid. He will never be stupid enough to get into trouble with Dong Jiu'er in front of him. No matter what, he is a prince and has a noble status.
On horseback, Higashikata Nichihiko tilted his head slightly at Xiaozhu Yinan, then reined in his horse and turned around, saying to Kuwata Teizo, captain of the 10th Cavalry Regiment, who followed him: "Kuwata-san, you lost. "
I bet you were racing horses with Kuwata Teizo just now. This is really a young man's temper. He treats war as a child's play. It's no wonder that the chief of staff of the 10th Division, Chang Tsui, is so dissatisfied.
Kuwada Teizo paused and said: "His Royal Highness has superb riding skills. I have seen you for your humble position today. I admire you."
Dongjiu Nianyan laughed: "Sangtian-san, your flattery skills are pretty good, I've seen you before."
However, Kuwata Teizo said without changing his expression: "Your Highness has misunderstood. What I just said was from the bottom of my heart, and there was absolutely no compliment."
Higashikata laughed, accepting Kuwata Teizo's compliment.
Then, Dongjiu Nianyan said with regret: "However, horse racing is still a bit boring after all. It would be more enjoyable if I could lead the cavalry regiment to fight with the Chinese cavalry on the battlefield with real swords and real spears." , I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity?”
After hearing Dong Jiurenianyan's words, Tsubujiagui's face turned dark.
Does His Highness the Prince really treat war as a game? Just one horse race has already tortured the entire infantry regiment. If he really goes to the battlefield, how about torturing the cavalry regiment half to death
The smile on Kuwada Teizo's face became a little forced, and he said: "Your Highness is joking. Your Highness is a man of wealth, how can you put yourself in danger?"
For Kuwata Teizo, it was nothing to accompany Nushihiko to race horses, it was just to amuse him, but if his cavalry regiment was asked to accompany Nushihiko to the battlefield, then he could not agree.
Going to the battlefield is not like racing a horse. As long as security measures are taken for a horse race, there will be no danger. However, going to the battlefield is completely different. Bullets don’t have eyes. If something happens to Nian Yan, their entire cavalry regiment of five hundred There were many officers and soldiers, and all of them had to be buried with Nian Yan.
However, some things are not subject to anyone's will.
As soon as Kuwata Tezo finished speaking, a communications soldier came over on a fast horse as fast as lightning.
Before the horses came to a complete stop, the cavalry soldiers reported to Xiaozhu Yinan: "The division commander, the Maori Regiment reported that the forward team of the Regiment was ambushed by a large group of Chinese troops near Qiaotou Town. More than 70 people were killed. The officers and soldiers were collectively shattered."
"Nani?" Xiaozhu Yinan's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he asked again, "How many people are there in the Chinese army that ambushed?"
The Signal Corps said: "At least one battalion, and the Chinese Army was very arrogant. After annihilating the forward team of the Maori Regiment, they did not evacuate immediately, but were still stranded in the Qiaotou Town area."
"Bage Yalu, how dare a battalion be so arrogant?" Xiaozhu Yinan was furious when he heard this, "Provocation, this is a provocation against the Chi Guoguo of the Imperial Japanese Army!"
Di Bujiagui said: "Division commander, please dispatch the cavalry regiment immediately to annihilate this Chinese army!"
For an army, the first battle after entering the battlefield is very important. This has nothing to do with superstition, but a victory in the first battle, which will greatly boost the morale of the entire army. Similarly, if the first battle is lost, it will It will greatly dampen the morale of the entire army, which is why Di Bujiagui is so angry.
However, this is also because the 10th Division has been fighting in North China before and has never experienced the power of the Independent Regiment. If they had fought against the Independent Regiment and experienced the power of the Independent Regiment, I am afraid they would not have such an extreme reaction. .
Xiaozhu Yoshio nodded lightly, turned to Kuwata Tezo and said: "Kawata-san, this group of Chinese troops are really too arrogant. Please lead the cavalry regiment to eliminate them immediately."
Kuwata Teizo was about to take the order, but Higashikata Ninuhiko got in front of his horse.
"Kangtian-san, I am now officially informing you that you have been dismissed from your post." After finishing speaking, Dongjiu Nianyan turned to Xiaozhu Yinan and said, "Xiaozhu-san, now I am the captain of the cavalry regiment under you. Please, please Allow me to lead the cavalry regiment to wipe out this group of Chinese troops!"
"Nani?" Xiaozhu's adopted man was dumbfounded when he heard this. He wouldn't agree if he didn't, and he wouldn't even dare to agree.
However, Higashikata didn't give Yoshio Xiaozhu a chance to refuse. He immediately showed his saber and shouted at the soldiers of the surrounding cavalry regiment: "The warriors of the 10th Cavalry Regiment serve the empire and the emperor." The time has come for Your Majesty to be loyal to you. Come and kill me..."
Looking up to the sky and howling, Dong Jiu Nianyan galloped out on horseback.
When the more than 500 cavalrymen lined up around saw this, they immediately shouted excitedly, and then they all showed their sabers and followed Dong Jiu Nianyan, rushing forward. In less than a moment, Dong Jiu Nianyan took him with him. The cavalry regiment disappeared over the horizon.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiaozhu Yinan came to his senses and yelled at the dike: "The dike is not full of mulberry. Immediately send a telegram to the Maori United Army and ask them to ensure the safety of His Highness at all costs. If anything happens to His Highness, he will be safe." Suehiro just waits for hara-kiri to thank the emperor!"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui said loudly, turned around and sent a telegram.
As soon as Di Bujiagui left, a convoy followed from behind. A truck in front of him parked in front of Xiaozhu Yinan's horse with a creak.
When Xiaozhu Yinan looked back, he saw the co-pilot door of the truck opened, and an unfamiliar colonel officer had stepped out with a saber. Moreover, the attire of this colonel was also very different from that of ordinary Japanese soldiers. Not only did the helmet have a protective shield, Eyepiece, and wearing a tactical vest with bulletproof steel plates.
After the colonel got out of the car, he went straight to Xiaozhu Yinan and bowed his head in greeting: "Division commander, the commander of the special operations brigade directly under the Central China Condemnation Army, Oluhara Junsi, come to report to you!"
"Are you Ogawara Junsi?" Xiaozhu Yinan nodded slightly. The Central China Condemnation Army Command had previously sent him a telegram explaining the situation, saying that a special operations brigade would be sent here to ensure the safety of His Highness Nianyan. It was safe, but I didn't expect this force to arrive so quickly.
"Hai." Oluhara Junsi paused heavily and asked, "Division Commander, where is Your Highness?"
Xiaozhu Yoshio said: "Ogawara-san, you are here just in time. His Highness Nianyan has just led the cavalry regiment to the front line. Please hurry up and take the special operations brigade to protect him. Ogawara-san, please do whatever it takes." We must ensure the safety of His Highness Nianyan."
"Don't worry, Division Commander." Oluhara Junsi stood up straight and said, "I assure you that nothing will happen to His Highness Nianyan."
After saying that, Oluhara Junsi turned around and got into the car again. With a wave of his hand, the convoy of six troop transport trucks set off again. In a short time, the convoy also disappeared on the horizon ahead.
Kuwata Teizo, who had been "relieved of his duties", came over and asked Xiaozhu Yoshio: "Division commander, do you think Ogawara Junsi's special operations brigade can guarantee the safety of His Highness?"
The little piggy boy shook his head and said, "I hope so."
(Dividing line)
Let’s talk about Higashikata Nakihiko again. This kid is really like a young man. He treated the battlefield as a game field and led the cavalry regiment to the front line like lightning. Suehiro Mori, captain of the 10th Infantry Regiment, Having received the order from the division headquarters, they came forward to try to stop it.
As a result, Higashikata whipped Mouri Suehiro without any reason.
Soon, a scout reported that Chinese soldiers were spotted ahead.
Dong Jiure Nianyan became interested immediately upon hearing this. He immediately reined in his horse's head and led more than 500 cavalrymen from the cavalry regiment to rush forward like a swarm.
However, Dongjiu Nianyan is not an idiot after all. There are still many forests in Qiaotou Town, and the cavalry is still easily ambushed, so a small group of cavalry is sent as the vanguard of the cavalry regiment. This small group of cavalry is not a cavalry force. The cavalry of the 10th Regiment is the guard of Higashikata Higashikata.
These 20 or so little devils not only have superb riding skills, but also come from aristocratic backgrounds. They are all as proud as little roosters in the country. Now on the battlefield, they have the same virtue as Dong Jiure Nianyan, and they all take the battlefield to the battlefield. Treat it as a game ground, or a hunting ground.
Not long after chasing, a large group of Chinese soldiers appeared on the plain ahead.
Seeing the Chinese soldiers, more than 20 Japanese cavalrymen immediately became excited. They urged their horses to start the final sprint at top speed. At the same time, they stood upright from their horses and were ready to kill.
Seeing that the Japanese cavalry began to sprint faster, the Chinese soldiers dispersed in a hurry. (To be continued.)
