Chapter 132 Zhao Gang Meets Japanese Cavalry on the Road
The next morning.
Zhao Gang woke up in the room early in the morning and started busy packing his things.
Today he will report to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
After packing up everything, he came to the command center and said goodbye to the leader.
"Report to the commander, I have made preparations. I want to report to the independent regiment today."
The chief nodded.
"Comrade Zhao Gang, I will have the guards take you to the independent regiment to report later."
"Thank you, Chief." Zhao Gang saluted.
Afterwards, the leader arranged four guards to escort Zhao Gang to the independent regiment.
After Zhao Gang left the command center, the chief of staff came up.
"Commander, Comrade Zhao Gang is a top student at the Anti-Japanese University. How can you bear to let him go to the front line?"
The chief smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, Comrade Zhao Gang wants to go to the front-line troops for training. I think this is a very good thing.
Only after being tempered at the grassroots level can one become an outstanding commander. All the senior commanders of our Eighth Route Army have worked their way up from the grassroots level.”
"Besides, I assigned Zhao Gang to the independent regiment as the political commissar because I wanted Li Yunlong to take good care of him.
In our Eighth Route Army, Li Yunlong is a very flexible guy when it comes to leading troops in battle.
Zhao Gang is a college student and has never been to the battlefield. If he leads his troops to fight according to the dogma in the books, he will not be able to grow up..........."
After hearing what the chief said, the chief of staff nodded in agreement.
............
After Zhao Gang walked out of the command center, he, under the guidance of his guards, left the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Daxiawan and headed towards Yangcun, the base of the independent regiment.
Zhao Gang was very excited at this time, as he could finally go to the front line of the battlefield.
Zhao Gang has always had a dream in his heart, which is to become a general leading troops to fight, rather than becoming a staff officer.
He will lead his soldiers to fight bravely on the battlefield, eliminate the Japanese devils and defend their homeland.
Daxiawan is not far from Yangcun, with a straight-line distance of only about 5000 meters, but the actual distance is more than 10 kilometers.
The mountain road was very rugged and they needed to go around in the mountains.
Therefore, Zhao Gang and his group moved very slowly and it took them an hour and a half to reach Yangcun.
at the same time.
After the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment received the telegram from headquarters.
The communicator quickly came to the command center and reported to Li Yunlong.
"Report to the head of the group, there is a call from headquarters."
The correspondent handed the telegram to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong took the telegram and started reading it.
"Oh my, the headquarters actually sent me a top student from the Anti-Japanese University as the political commissar. I, Li Yunlong, am a little flattered."
Zhang Dabiao in the command center heard this and said with a smile.
"Captain, the headquarters actually sent such a highly educated person to serve as the political commissar of our independent regiment. This has raised the educational level of our independent regiment cadres to a higher level."
Li Yunlong gave Zhang Dabiao a cold look.
"Zhang Dabiao, it seems like you are educated. After all, I went to a private school for a few days, but you are just a peasant."
"Captain, although I, Zhang Dabiao, have never been educated, I am very good at leading troops in battles."
"Okay, okay, you're very powerful, okay?"
Li Yunlong muttered inwardly, "The same is true for the headquarters. My independent regiment does not need any political commissar at all. I, Li Yunlong, can be both the regiment commander and the political commissar. It would be great to lead the troops. Now that the headquarters has got a political commissar, we can no longer go out and fight casually."
Li Yunlong turned to Zhang Dabiao and shouted, "Zhang Dabiao, the political commissar will be here this morning. Go and arrange a room for the political commissar to use as a dormitory. Tell the soldiers to be alert and welcome the political commissar's arrival."
"Yes, Captain."
After receiving the order, Zhang Dabiao turned around and walked out of the command center and began to arrange dormitories.
...........
On a mountain trail.
Zhao Gang and his companions rode on horseback for half an hour.
"Comrade, where are we now? How long will it take to reach Yangcun?"
Zhao Gang asked the guard in front.
"Commander, we are already halfway through the journey. We will reach the Independent Regiment in half an hour."
After hearing this, Zhao Gang took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was 8:00.
According to the guards, they should be able to reach the independent regiment around 8:30.
Zhao Gang rode on his horse and enjoyed the scenery along the way. The mountains were bare everywhere, with nothing there.
There was not even any cover along the way, and Zhao Gang and his group could be seen from a long distance away.
The five men continued riding their horses on the mountain road, unaware that they had been discovered by a group of Japanese cavalry.
"Report to the captain, a cavalry team of five from the Eighth Route Army was spotted ahead." The Japanese cavalry scout reported to the Japanese cavalry captain.
"Yoshi, I finally got something today..."
The Japanese cavalry captain was very happy. Their 30-man cavalry squad had been wandering around the Eighth Route Army base these days.
Ever since the last time the Japanese cavalry regiment suffered a heavy loss at the hands of Li Yunlong, Ichiro Mata learned through intelligence that the cavalry unit that defeated them was indeed the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army.
Ichiro Mata was furious. He was defeated by the Eighth Route Army. He thought this was a great shame. He wanted to get back at the scene and avenge his previous humiliation.
Ichiro Mata ordered all the cavalry to disperse and search for the Eighth Route Army cavalry's lair. Since his cavalry could not defeat the Eighth Route Army's cavalry, he would lead a large force to surround them.
This 30-man cavalry squad is the Japanese cavalry that is carrying out a search mission outside.
The Japanese cavalry squad leader turned around and gave orders to the cavalry behind him.
"Everyone in the cavalry squad, please pay attention. Capture these five Eighth Route Army soldiers alive. They must know where the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Battalion is."
"Hi."
The Japanese cavalry responded in unison.
"Set off."
At a command from the Japanese cavalry captain, more than 30 Japanese cavalrymen galloped towards Zhao Gang and his group.
Thirty Japanese cavalry horses galloped quickly on the dirt road, causing dust to fly on the mountain road.
Zhao Gang and five other people who were walking on the mountain road immediately noticed the movement.
"Guards, did you hear that noise?"
"Commander, I heard it. It was the sound of a large number of war horses running." the guard replied.
The guard remembered that the Eighth Route Army had no cavalry troops nearby.
Then this cavalry unit is most likely the Japanese cavalry.
The guard shouted, "Oh no! It's the Japanese cavalry. Commander, let's run!"
The five men quickly turned around and galloped away on their horses.
After running forty or fifty meters, they turned around and looked back, and saw the Japanese cavalry chasing them.
