Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2445: The devil’s donkey shit!

The war horses galloped like a black storm sweeping over, and the cavalry of the Wugan tribe rushed towards the camp of the Japanese and puppet troops with an overwhelming force.

The sound of horse hooves roared like thunder, and the dust flew up, covering the sky, as if even the sky was shaken by this force.

The defense line of the Japanese and puppet troops collapsed instantly under the impact of the cavalry. Although they tried to resist, facing this unstoppable torrent, all efforts seemed so pale and powerless.

As the horses galloped, every leap was accompanied by a dull crash. The bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were unfortunately trampled were twisted and broken under the horses' hooves, like fragile porcelain being ruthlessly crushed.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the horses' hooves red, and also staining the land that did not belong to them at all.

At this time, the roar of the Wugan tribal cavalry, the neighing of war horses and the screams of the Japanese and puppet troops formed a killing song on the grassland.

The bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were trampled to death lay there quietly, with expressions of fear still on their faces, as if telling of their despair.

The four Japanese guard camps collapsed in an instant, and they suffered heavy casualties before they even received rescue from the Japanese camp.

There were only a few Japanese and puppet troops who were able to escape, and the cavalry of the Wugan tribe did not pursue those who escaped.

This was Duanwu's order. After the four cavalry units attacked the Japanese guard camp, they quickly withdrew. Only the Japanese cavalry who had rushed out of the Japanese camp stopped where they were, cursing and roaring in helplessness.

  And as for the pursuit?

Forget it. In this situation, only cavalry can attack, and as many as go out, as many as die.

After covering a dozen Japanese and puppet troops who escaped, the Japanese cavalry quickly retreated to the Japanese camp.

At this time, the artillery was firing indiscriminately.

Although they didn't know where the enemy was, they wanted to use the sound of the artillery to scare away the enemy.

General Takeda naturally woke up, and he had a splitting headache. After entering the grassland, he didn't even see what their enemy looked like, and as a result, he suffered heavy losses.

The losses of cavalry, chariot troops, and guard camps directly reduced his troops by one-fifth.

His enemies were too cunning and kept harassing him in the dark.

In other words, it would not just be a matter of losing manpower, but if this continued, they would not be able to rest in the grassland at all.

Fortunately, daybreak would come in two hours, and then it would be time for him to fight back.

He ordered all the Japanese to be on full alert. In addition to guarding against enemy artillery fire, all the Imperial Army and the Imperial Auxiliary Army stayed up all night and were ready for battle.

Once the enemy appears again, in addition to the artillery coverage, the cavalry will also attack and encircle them, and then the infantry will provide reinforcements to the cavalry under the cover of the only seven remaining chariots.

The entire battlefield seemed to be covered by a deep invisible pressure. The air was not only filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, but also with a suffocating atmosphere of tension.

The Japanese officer leaned on his sword and looked to the east, because when the first ray of morning light penetrated the shackles of the night, it was time for them to fight back.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers stared with wide eyes, waiting for dawn, but their enemies had already disappeared into the dark night.

He had made enough money on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival. Before the Japanese took revenge at dawn, he needed to hide his troops and wait until the Japanese searched during the day.

That is to say, during the day, Duanwu needs to avoid its sharp edge.

Otherwise, in a head-on confrontation with the Japanese, even though the cavalry of the Wugan tribe were brave and good at fighting, they would not be able to withstand the losses.

  So during the day, there are only two words to describe the Dragon Boat Festival - avoid war!

Of course, if there is a good opportunity, Duanwu will not let it go. At that time, the troops can be regrouped.

Because this time, he reorganized the four cavalry teams into two cavalry teams. If an opportunity for battle arose, even temporarily gathering one cavalry team would be enough.

The cavalry around Duanwu and Wugan remained the same. At this time, there were only more than 200 cavalry around them.

But Duanwu was not worried about his safety at all.

The cavalry is very mobile, so even if the Japanese discovered them and wanted to encircle and annihilate them, it would not be that easy.

Time soon came to early morning. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the grassland, the Japanese finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief.

But at the same time, fatigue once again set in.

Many Japanese soldiers fell asleep on the grass before they could even return to their tents. The puppet army was even worse. Not only did they lose many lives during the night, but they were also always deployed at the forefront.

You can imagine the feeling of standing on the edge of a knife.

So at this time, the puppet soldiers just snuggled up to each other and fell asleep.

But they had just fallen asleep for a short while before they were woken up again by the scolding of the Japanese officers.

Because the devils wanted to cook, but they didn't have enough dry firewood, so they ordered the puppet soldiers to collect dry firewood.

But there are only a few trees on the grassland, so where can we get so much dry firewood?

So the puppet soldiers could only pick up a pile of cow dung and take it back.

It rained yesterday and the cow dung was half wet and half dry, emitting a bad smell.

  The officer in the Japanese kitchen squad was about to curse: Can this thing be used?

But the puppet army also had something to say. They said: "The herdsmen all use this. There are no trees on the grassland. If you want to pick up dry firewood, you have to walk a long way. If the imperial army can wait, they will go and find it."

The Japanese officers had no choice but to use semi-wet cow dung to start a fire.

However, the cow dung contained too much moisture, and the Japanese tried several methods but failed to ignite it.

The puppet army then suggested pouring gasoline on it and it would definitely catch fire.

The Japanese had no choice but to follow the puppet army's advice. As a result, the entire Japanese camp was stinking with a smell that was even more overpowering than that of wolf smoke.

General Takeda was choked awake from his sleep. He thought that the cavalry of the Wugan tribe had used biological weapons.

But when it came out, it turned out that it was only the kitchen staff who were cooking.

  Is this meal edible? It smells like cow poop.

Takeda quickly ordered the kitchen staff to put out the fire and eat some instant rations to fill their stomachs.

The puppet army was not so lucky. The rations were all for the imperial army. The Japanese only gave them two ration pills each.

"What...what is this?"

A puppet soldier was holding a ration pill with a frown on his face, as if what he held in his hand were not food but two donkey dung balls picked up from somewhere.

Another puppet soldier tried to take a bite, then frowned even more tightly, with a bitter smile hanging on the corner of his mouth: "This is something that even dogs won't eat!"

The puppet soldiers around all echoed the idea, some shook their heads and smiled bitterly, while others simply stuffed the ration pills back into their pockets, planning to consider it again when absolutely necessary.

In other words, if they were not extremely hungry, they would never choose to eat this donkey dung!
