The War of Resistance

At about eight o'clock in the morning, there was a faint sound coming from the northeast, which felt like the dull thunder in spring, low and continuous.

Li Qingfeng looked there in the woods on the mountain, but the hills, ravines and woods blocked his vision after all.

what is this? Li Qingfeng became more and more curious as he listened to the voice that became louder and louder.

After a while, he blurted out: "The little devil's cavalry must be here!"

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the performance of others. He also looked at Qian Chuan'er in the distance and said half-jokingly: "Don't say things that everyone knows."

"Oh", Qingfeng Li was a little disappointed at first and then suddenly realized.

Yes, among the people on the mountain now, Shang Zhen, Wang Laomao, Qian Chuan'er, Qiu Bo Bai Zhan, except for this little Taoist priest, who is not a veteran?

When people heard the faint thunderous sound, they must have guessed that it was the Japanese cavalry coming.

Are you the only one who has never heard of many horses running together?

Then the Japanese cavalry really showed up, and when Li Qingfeng looked at the veterans, their expressions became serious.

Just hearing the sound, there were quite a few Japanese cavalry, and the cavalry ran very fast. In just a moment, there were already hundreds of more cavalry on the road sandwiched between the two mountains.

It has not rained for several days. Even though it was cloudy yesterday, not even a drop of rain fell. Hundreds of war horses galloping on the dry road stirred up endless smoke and dust.

Horse is a four-hoofed animal with a strong physique.

Not to mention thousands of horses galloping, in fact even hundreds of horses running will definitely give people a enough shock. What's more, the Japanese army's war horses are all tall Japanese horses, not the shorter ones that the Chinese usually ride. A Mongolian horse with relatively short legs.

"You said these Japanese devils are so stunted, why are their horses so tall?" At this time, the old man who was also with Shang Zhen and the others suddenly asked, but he didn't know that similar questions were actually asked by Shang Zhen and the others. The veteran also discussed it, although it didn't come to any result.

The old man is not a man of many words, and there is a reason for him to ask this question this time.

In fact, few people can understand the big old fool's thinking.

All of Big Laoban's thoughts are based on his Buddhist views.

There is a saying in Buddhism called positive reward and dependent reward. The human body is a positive retribution, and all things in the mountains, rivers, earth, and even birds and beasts are called retribution.

In my opinion, the Japanese were born in that remote Japanese archipelago and were very short to begin with. How could such a tall war horse be produced in that place?

Look at the wretchedness of the Japanese weapons, such as grenades, tortoise boxes, samurai swords, and even the dance that makes us jump our butts when we dance. These are all consistent with the truth.

But how could there be such a tall horse in a place with such a short man? This means that the positive retribution and the obedient retribution are inconsistent!

"Then who knows, maybe the Japanese horses are also hybrids!" Qian Chuan'er responded to Big Old Fool's question with malicious speculation.

As soon as they heard the money string, it was a curse, or it was not a curse, but a curse on Japan's big horse, and the soldiers' faces showed smiles.

But then they were frightened by the momentum of the war horse, and they all observed attentively, but they didn't know that Mr. Wang actually guessed it right!

There used to be native horses in the Japanese archipelago, but the horses were only one and three meters tall at the withers.

How tall is 1.3 meters? In terms of the average height of Chinese people, it usually reaches one meter at the waist, or one meter and three meters, which means it just reaches the ribs!

Not to mention whether the old fool's views are superstitious or not, the Zhengbao and Yibao on the Japanese archipelago are really consistent, because the Japanese themselves are not very tall.

In this way, we might as well imagine what it was like to be only 1.5 meters tall at that time but riding a local horse with a shoulder height of 1.3 meters. If a dwarf rides a pony, it is not impressive enough. It is simply like a monkey riding a horse!

No matter how short a person is, they still have a heart that yearns for heights. Of course, Japanese people also want to ride tall horses.

After the Meiji Restoration, as the Japanese national power increased and their horizons widened, they saw taller and larger Arabian horses.

It cannot be said that all Arabian horses are the famous horses of Dawan in ancient China, but they are not much shorter.

When they saw good horses, the Japanese naturally tried their best to introduce tall Arabian stallions to mate with local mares, and then divided the local stallions by lot.

When the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 broke out, the Japanese army recruited military horses across the country. At that time, the height of the war horses was more than 1.4 meters tall.

But after arriving on the battlefield, something unexpected happened to them.

Those hybrids of Arabian horses and native horses are still not good on the battlefield. They are unruly, disobedient, kicking and biting. Their performance on the battlefield is like the extremely natural zebras in Africa.

How does this work?

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Japanese discovered that their war horses were still more than 10 centimeters shorter at the shoulders than those of the European powers. , and this time the fun started again.

European war horses are very docile, and one person can manage dozens of them, but their Japanese war horses cannot be managed by one person. If that's the case, that's it. However, they have that stallion who is in love and chases the mare everywhere in order to do such shady things!

Just imagine how funny the scene was at that time.

Animals are unintelligent and ignorant. Even if you think he is embarrassed, he doesn't feel ashamed, but he has embarrassed the Japanese people.

Just imagine, eight countries banded together to bully China.

If the Japanese and Western Europeans become enemies, the Japanese urges the war horse to charge. Oh, the war horse runs so fast, but when the Japanese cavalry rushing over the horse is about to slash the enemy with his sword, he The stallion sitting next to me ran towards the rear of the opponent's mare. Isn't this a big deal?

And if that's the case, that's all. When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Japan, the Japanese discovered that their horses were ten or twenty centimeters shorter than European horses.

No, this horse is still short!

Regardless of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1898 or the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of Japan, the blood of the colonized eventually nourished the colonizers' bodies.

As the Japanese became more powerful, they began to search for tall horses all over the world, and then improved their own horses.

So after all, there are now these tall horses trampling on the land of China.

The Japanese cavalry was still four to five hundred meters away from the hilltop where Shang Zhen and the others were hiding. The top of this mountain is covered with dense trees, the kind that are airtight. They are no higher than the surrounding mountains, and they are integrated with the surrounding mountains.

The soldiers were not worried about being discovered by the Japanese army, but they were a little far away. Only Shang Zhen was observing the Japanese army with a telescope in his hand.

"What if there were one or two heavy machine guns here!" Mr. Wang couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder Mr. Wang thinks so. Heavy machine gun fire is the eternal nightmare of cavalry strategy.

It’s just a sigh, it’s a sigh after all, how can such a coincidence happen in the world?

The Japanese cavalry finally ran over, but then the Japanese infantry appeared again.

Nowadays, Japanese soldiers are not very tall.

If we talk about individual momentum alone, the Japanese officers and soldiers are naturally inferior to war horses, but there are many people who cannot hold up the Japanese troops!

Never mind whether the Japanese troops marching on the road were in two columns or four columns.

From the moment the first Japanese infantry appeared in their field of vision, the team got longer and longer. Gradually, the Japanese team started from the northeastern horizon to the southern end of the sky.

Who knows how many Japanese troops there are, it is impossible to calculate.

Calling it a long dragon is a compliment to the Japanese army, and calling it a long snake has a derogatory meaning. But no matter what the Japanese team is, this time the Japanese army is really powerful!

"Don't brag about the large number of Chinese people in the future. What's the point of having so many Chinese people? Why don't we gather our people together when fighting the Japanese? Instead, there are so many small Japanese!" Mr. Wang finally said something bad again. , but there was a sudden hatred for the Japanese invaders in his tone, but there was also a sense of helplessness.
