Chapter 161 Returning to the Cavalry 1
Due to Admiral Tanimoto's aggressive advances underestimating the enemy, the Japanese Navy's No.11 team suffered huge losses.Indirectly delayed the time for the Japanese Central China Front Army to attack Nanjing.For this reason, Major General Tanimoto was dismissed and investigated.

After that, the Japanese army reorganized the new No.11 station team.Commanded by Major General Eijiro Kondo.The main team of the team is under the jurisdiction of Anzhai, Katada and Toba, while the cover team is under the jurisdiction of Yaeyama, Li, Mu and Ren.The mine-sweeping team has 4 mine-sweeping tugboats, and the security team has jurisdiction over Tsu, Hira, Seta, and Saga, and the supporting force is the seaplane carrier Kamigawa Maru.

And on December 150st, the attack on Jiangyin Fortress was launched again.During the previous confrontation with the Japanese army on November [-], because of the fierce artillery battle, a [-]mm fort cannon was blown up in the Xishantai and Huangshantai of the Jiangyin Fortress, and the communication network of the fortress was also damaged.

Facing the powerful Japanese offensive, the Jiangyin Fortress was declared to have fallen.

So far, there is no obstacle between the front of the Japanese army and Nanjing, and the situation in Nanjing is suddenly precarious.

"Company Commander Shangguan, where do you think the higher-ups are going to transfer us??" On the platform of Nanjing Railway Station, Yangguai smiled and asked Shangguan Zhibiao who was smoking together.

"I don't know the specifics, but I must have gone to Sichuan. I don't know about the others. Only Captain Ma and Captain Xie know about this." After thinking for a while, Shangguan Zhibiao looked at the sheep. Guai said.

"Sichuan, what a great place. I heard that the girls in Sichuan are very beautiful, so I can take a closer look this time." When Yangguai heard that he was going to Sichuan, he immediately regained his energy.

The men who smoked together also let out bursts of obscene laughter.

"Head, are we really going to leave here this time and go to Chongqing as ordered?" On the other side, Xie Jinyuan looked at the top of Zijin Mountain in the distance, as if Ma Chao had asked this question.For some reason, Xie Jinyuan always felt that he was like a coward. When the rain was about to come, he abandoned his persistence and became a contemptible deserter.

"Didn't you also see the order, let's take the train to Chongqing. Is it possible that someone will pass the order falsely like the last time?" Ma Chao stuffed a peanut into his mouth and chewed replied.

"I know, but I don't want to go to Chongqing." Xie Jinyuan said with great annoyance.

"I don't want to go either, but the military order is like a mountain, so it's up to you and me to go." Ma Chao said pretending to be helpless.

"I know this truth, but..." "Woo~~~~~~~~~~~" Xie Jinyuan wanted to continue talking , but at this time, the sound of the train whistle interrupted what he wanted to say.

"Okay, stop talking. Organize everyone to get in the car." Ma Chao stopped Xie Jinyuan's plan to speak, and after clapping his hands, he turned and walked towards the soldiers behind him.

The train didn't stay on the platform for too long. After hastily adding water and fuel, the more than [-] people from the independent group were loaded on board, and then continued to set off in the direction of Sichuan.

Sitting on the edge of the carriage, watching the surrounding scenery keep passing backwards, Ma Chao didn't know what he was thinking in a daze.

"Here, head, drink some water." Xie Jinyuan walked up to Ma Chao with a water bottle, and after handing it to him, he also sat on the ground and watched the passing scenery outside with Ma Chao.

"I still don't want to leave Nanjing." Xie Jinyuan whispered like a mosquito, covered by the sound of the train, except for Ma Chao, no one heard it.

"What if you don't leave? Is it possible that you plan to disobey the military order?" Ma Chao also asked Xie Jinyuan what Xie Jinyuan asked him at that time.

After Xie Jinyuan heard it, he was silent for a while and said: "If I had gone to the Zijin Mountain, I would not have disobeyed any military order, even if it was to let me die. But after going to the Zijin Mountain, I feel that some Military orders are not worth our execution at all!"

"So?" Ma Chao asked.

"I don't know." Xie Jinyuan said leisurely. "I don't know what to do. My rationality tells me that I should carry out the order. But my psychology tells me that I should go back, even if I die on the battlefield."

"To be honest, I don't know what to do. The Japanese army is marching forward in great strides, approaching Nanjing! Countless troops are stepping up to build fortifications, preparing to resist the Japanese army, and preparing to defend our capital with their lives. But our senior government officials, Celebrities and gentry are stepping up their evacuation! Only the ignorant common people are still foolishly believing that our government can protect their safety."

"You and I are both soldiers, and we know very well what the current situation will be like for the troops outside Nanjing. There are no guns and ammunition, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines. There are also many recruits who have never even fired a gun. How can such an army be the opponent of the elite Japanese army."

"But the government turned a blind eye to this. It didn't organize the evacuation of the masses, and it kept promising everyone that it would beat back the Japanese army and defend the city. Tell me, who else can believe it except those stupid people? What they said." Ma Chao also said his own thoughts.

"So, do you have any plans? Leader." Xie Jinyuan looked at Ma Chao expectantly.

"What plans can I have, I can only take one step at a time." Ma Chao can only do so.After all, he can't change anything with his own strength alone.

"I know the leader, then I won't bother you." After Xie Jinyuan finished speaking, he left disappointed.

And Ma Chao, after Xie Jinyuan left, leaned on the carriage, and slowly fell asleep with the shaking of the carriage.

"Er Gouzi, what are you looking at!!! Concentrate, you are the tip of the knife!!! It's up to you whether you can kill these devils!!!" Behind him, a strong man with a beard pointed at him. The sleepy Ma Chao said!
Hearing the long-lost scolding, he looked down at the war horse under his crotch, and the saber in his hand.Once again, Ma Chao came to this unknown grassland, facing the Japanese cavalry that had given him a taste of swords and axes before.

"Yes, I understand." Ma Chao, who had learned a lesson from the previous confrontation, responded immediately.He squinted his eyes and stared at the little devils on the opposite side, while silently stroking the horse under him, hoping that in the next confrontation, he would no longer be a drag on the entire team.
