Enemies are constantly coming from all directions.

The military sub-district marched eastward for about twenty miles early in the morning, and the Japanese who came out of the north and south to the west and surrounded Qixian County were all left behind.

Zhong Zuo, who was in charge of this operation, was furious and without waiting for the concentration of troops in three directions, he led a large number of Japanese cavalry and infantry who were surrounded by the south to continue to pursue the scorching sun.

On the plain, the situation is very unfavorable to the military sub-districts that are good at guerrilla warfare, and it is very difficult to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese!

The military sub-district first planned to lure the Japanese in Qi County to come out and surround the enemy with superior forces on the plains. As a result, the Japanese set up a large encirclement with the county town as bait.

He even drew a large squadron from the front line that was preparing to launch an attack on the national army and completely eliminated the Eighth Route Army that had finally gathered together.

The military sub-district destroyed the Japanese railway line to achieve its goal, but it also attracted enemies close to a corps!

If you don’t have heavy firepower to fight positional warfare, with the combat capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, you will hurt the enemy by 100 times, and you will suffer at least 300 times! Such things can’t be done, so you can only block and retreat to the east with your two legs running fast on the guerrilla attack.

Strangely, the Japanese chase was very slow!

On the village road, Ma Liang looked curiously at the soldiers in the military sub-district behind him and dug holes on the uneven road. The dense crowd was sweating profusely under the scorching sun, and holes slightly larger than their fists were paved with a section of the road in a short while.

Then the soldiers walked a distance eastward and continued to dig in another place.

"Hey, why are you digging this?" Ma Liang walked from the armored vehicle to the burrowing team, looked at a soldier who was commanding the burrowing, and heard that everyone next to him called him Platoon Commander Chen.

"Stop the charge of the Japanese cavalry!" Platoon Commander Chen looked up, grinned, and smiled friendly.

"Uh? Are you going to bury landmines?"

"Landmines? You can really think about it!" Platoon Commander Chen burst into laughter.

"It's less than a foot deep. I don't believe you can also be a trap in addition to burying landmines!" Ma Liang was even more surprised. You can't dig on the ground, right?

"Hehe, you're right, just use it as a trap!" The platoon leader raised his hand and wiped his sweat.

"Hahaha...Oh, are you going to laugh to death? It's just such a big pit, and you can't even get stuck with the mouse, you?" Ma Liang always felt that it was strange, so he had to figure it out and deliberately sneer.

"You have been in the mountains for a long time, and you may not know, uh, then I ask you, how big do you think this pit is?"

"Don't keep it aside, let it go if you have any fucks!" Ma Liang was immediately angry when he heard that he was a mountain country bumpkin.

"Have you ever ridden a horse?" The platoon leader didn't care at all.

"Of course I rode!" Ma Liang replied hatefully.

"Then do you know... how big is the horse's hooves?" The platoon leader shook his eyes and raised his head.

Ma Liang couldn't help but gesture, his eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

"Yes, it's okay if the Japanese war horses walk slowly on the ground. If he dares to charge, as long as he step into the hole, at least half of his front hooves will be broken on the spot. Even if the others are not broken, his hooves will probably be sprained!"

Ma Liang was stunned, and he really had a good understanding! It turned out that he had this trick to deal with cavalry, but you only dig roads in this vast plain? Isn’t this too much?

"No, we only dig the road. Are the Japanese all fools? He doesn't know how to walk around the ground?"

"You go and try a walk around? The land by the river has been deserted, so we have no choice but to send people to guard it. If they want to cross the river and take a detour, they will miss the opportunity to fight. As for the land in front of them, it has not rained for a long time, and the surface has long been formed into a layer of shells, but the soil under the shell is as loose as a cotton jacket, and a hole will be found when the horse's hooves are stepped on?"

"What you mean is that if the cavalry walks slowly, we can't do anything to him, right?" Ma Liang asked humbly.

"Hehe, my purpose is to let them walk slowly. Dig a few more ditches on the road. Their iron turtle can only lie down obediently and have to wait for someone to fill the ditch before they can move forward! In that case, they want to catch up with us and have a damn dream! But it's useless if you know it, and you won't be able to change the place..."

Village.

"...Old Lu, now I give you two options for the independent regiment. Either you find a place to stay north and wait until it gets dark and gets back into the mountain from the enemy-occupied area, or go east with us. Before the Japanese encircle, break through the Japanese cavalry defense line and enter the area south of the Wei River!" The district commander frowned and arranged how to block the next step and then break off contact with the Japanese.

Commander Lu smiled bitterly: "I understand what you mean. Now the Japanese are surrounded by all sides. You plan to lead the main force to continue to go east, attract the Japanese behind you, let all the players get out of the way, compete with the Japanese, and get rid of them until the mountainous areas in western Shandong! I'm right?"

"How can I arrange it all to you? If you leave now, you can still retain most of your strength for the independent regiment. Now the Japanese troops in the enemy-occupied area in the north are weak. If you lead a regiment, I believe there should be no problem going back to the mountain."

"Can you run better than the Japanese cavalry on both legs? You arrange this way..." Commander Lu understood that the commander was ready to take risks.

"What can we do? This time, we are probably plotted by the Japanese and some guys in the War Zone!" The commander's face looked ugly.

"If our independent regiment leaves, I see if you, the division commander, can hold on to western Shandong, I am not sure, right?" Commander Lu looked at the distribution of Japanese troops on the map.

"Do you think your independent regiment will fight? The county brigade of Laozi District cannot fight the Japanese?" The commander got angry.

Commander Zeng next to him suddenly said, "Report to Commander, I don't think we need to divide the troops. Everyone may mistakenly think that the cavalry runs fast, and we can't run, but the six-legged cavalry actually has a fatal weakness!"

The commander waved his hand: "I know what you are going to say. Even if you dig a broken hoof pit on the road, even if the cavalry is slow, even if the ferocious Japanese cavalry can be transformed into infantry. There are more people than us, and they can even fart!"

"Commander, I'm not talking about this. In fact, many people don't know that the cavalry's durability is not as good as that of a person when it comes to long-distance marching!"

"Wait...what did you say? The cavalry could not run away from our infantry? How could it be?" Commander Lu was stunned for a moment.

"You can't compare to people? Do you say that horses can't run away? Do you believe it or not, I'll beat you? The terrain is now conducive to the Japanese cavalry fighting, so the best way is to persist until dark, retreat while dispersing the troops. In this way, at least half of us can rush out!" The staff officer next to him also agreed with the delegation leader Zeng and directly took out the results of his discussion with the commander.

Commander Zeng turned to look at the staff officer: "You don't know this. The cavalry runs fast on the flat ground. We all know! When charging on the battlefield and encircling, infantry really cannot compare with cavalry. In this way, I will tell you in detail. In simple terms, there are actually two types of cavalry: those who ride on horseback and those who don't ride on horseback, including the basic tactics of our cavalry regiment, which are also riding horses and dismounting horses."

"It's all this time, don't be so stupid!" After saying that, the commander continued to point to the map, and with the staff and commanders to analyze the enemy situation in all directions?

"What do you mean when you say the cavalry doesn't ride on horseback to fight?" Commander Lu asked in confusion.

"Hehe, to put it nicely, we are 'lancers', which are similar to Japanese motorized infantry. Let me explain it to you clearly. We are actually infantry riding horses. On the battlefield, the soldiers mainly lie on the ground and shoot guns!" Captain Zeng explained.

"Why is this happening?" Captain Lu asked again.

"Cavals lined up in front of machine guns and charged in front of dense firepower, which is purely a search for death! We usually use war horses to increase our marching speed and expand our range of activities. Most of the time we fight, we give up on horseback and dismount and hike to fight on foot."

"No, then why can your cavalry achieve such great results in the morning?" Captain Lu felt that the Zeng surname was always going around the corner and was just repeating nonsense.
