The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 411 Bait
It had been three hours since they left Jilin Prefecture. Both the people and the horses were tired, so Hai Pingchuan ordered everyone to rest where they were.

"Pingchuan, we are only four or five miles away from Songhua Lake. We may face the Russians at any time."

Yang Hongyi grabbed the horse and said to Hai Pingchuan who was reining in his horse at the same time, "Although these Russians are fierce, they are very cunning..."

Hai Pingchuan nodded silently: Yang Hongyi followed Bao Guiqing from Heilongjiang Province and led troops in Suihua, so he must have dealt with the Russians.

Jiang Cheng must have been aware of this, which was why he allowed him, who had just recovered from his injury, to come out and fight together.

"They usually don't fight the big army head-on, but instead join small groups - the same is true when they rob villages in Heilongjiang Province... They definitely won't rob villages with big insurance teams; if they do, they usually just shoot a few times to chase the people away, then run away after robbing, and they will never fight to the end!"

Before Hai Pingchuan could answer, Zhang Xuecheng yawned and pouted: "Oh, from what I hear, the Russians are quite thieves with their own code of conduct when they rob things."

Do you really think the Russians are good people?
They simply robbed and ran, not necessarily because they didn't want to hurt or kill anyone, but because they had limited ammunition supplies.

There's no need to waste time killing civilians... They don't even dare to attack larger villages, which shows how stretched the resources they have are.

Hai Pingchuan glanced at him and ignored him and continued, "It seems that our master must have guessed it right... these Mao guys were chased here by the Communist Party and became stray dogs."

"I think if a large group of us rush to Songhua Lake, the Russians will definitely run away."

Yang Hongyi nodded: "Yes! That's right... Based on my understanding of them, if we attack these old men at once, the Russians will most likely flee upon hearing the news, and then the mission that Master Jiang asked us to complete will be completely in vain."

that……

Seeing the hesitation of the young deputy, Yang Hongyi immediately suggested: "Let me take a hundred or so people as bait... to lure these old Russians out."

"Then, it's up to you young people!"

Hai Pingchuan wanted to stop him, but he couldn't think of a better idea for the time being, so he had no choice but to let the senior go.

"Fourth Uncle, you must be more careful!"

Hai Pingchuan greeted him with a firm smile, then turned around and asked Bayin to carefully select more than a hundred of the most savvy Mongolian riders to set off with him.

Sure enough, they were people who had fought with the Russians. Yang Hongyi and these people had not run far when a sharp horn sounded, breaking the silent air at dusk.

"Oh my god, it's really coming!?"

Zhang Xueben originally had a disdainful expression on his face, but when he heard the horn, a burst of "Ura..." shouts were earth-shaking.

"Ready to fight!"

Hai Pingchuan turned around and roared at his men, then quickly led his cavalry to surround them.

In the tall grass, the Russian soldiers rushed towards Yang Hongyi and others who were "acting as bait" like a storm. Each step they took was so powerful that it seemed as if they were going to step a hole in the ground.

"What were they thinking, infantry attacking cavalry?"

Even Zhang Xuecheng was covering his face - in order to lure these people out, Yang Hongyi deliberately asked these hundred or so riders to dismount and march, as if they were tired from running and were looking for a place to water their mounts.

But even the Russians could be fooled by such a swaggering attitude. They are really a bunch of straightforward and reckless men!
However, the cavalry led by Yang Hongyi began to disperse calmly, successfully found a hiding place, and began to fight back.

As this group of Russians charged forward shouting and screaming, the firepower of both sides gradually intertwined.

The entire battle scene was filled with dense bullets flying around, forming a fire network. However, this group of Russian soldiers actually began to shuttle through the sea of ​​fire. Their figures appeared and disappeared in the flames, as if the god of death was wandering on the battlefield.

"Wow, with such physical skills and combat proficiency, no wonder I'm thinking about him so much!"

Hai Pingchuan couldn't help but whistle. "Stop watching, let's go... I think your fourth uncle will ruin the food if we wait any longer!"

Although Zhang Xuecheng seems to be a frivolous guy on weekdays, seeing that both of them have been protecting him after the battle, he also began to care about their safety.

"No, wait a minute."

Although Hai Pingchuan had asked his brothers to mount their horses and wait, he did not give the order to attack now.

Although the battle between the two sides became intense from the beginning, Yang Hongyi, who had sufficient firepower, was not at a disadvantage.

And most importantly, Hai Pingchuan took a look at the battle group and found that the number of Russians did not match.

The scouts reported that there were 500 people, and the number in front of us is at most 100... It would be a waste if this bait is set and not all of them are lured out.

"My goodness, you didn't save your fourth uncle either. It's a good thing I didn't go up there - otherwise you wouldn't have saved him either, huh!?"

Before he could finish his words, something strange happened to the battle group ahead.

On the other side of the smoke-filled battlefield, another group of soldiers suddenly rushed out...this group was larger in number and more powerful.

"So you were waiting for them?"

Zhang Xuecheng's eyes widened in shock, but Hai Pingchuan had already given a stern order: "Brothers, charge!"

With a loud roar, all the cavalry rushed towards the flank of the Russian position.

The earth-shaking shouting immediately frightened the group of Russians completely.

In the Russian language system, there is no such phrase as "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind", we only know how to charge forward.

However, as the situation was reversed in an instant, these Russian soldiers looked ready to die, standing firm like the high walls of St. Petersburg.

Facing the cavalry's charge, they gripped their rifles tightly, their eyes firm and resolute, as if they wanted to completely destroy Hai Pingchuan and the others.

"Damn it, why don't you run?"

At this critical moment, these Maozi showed great tenacity.

The entire battlefield was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood, and the soldiers' faces were covered with dirt and blood. However, there was a firm light flashing in their eyes, as if to say: We would rather die here.

The battle suddenly came to a halt because of the arrival of Hai Pingchuan's army... and looking at this group of soldiers standing upright, Hai Pingchuan suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

A feeling of mutual sympathy.

"Chinese soldiers, I am willing to surrender!"

At the battlefront, a middle-aged man who looked like an officer shouted at Hai Pingchuan, "I only have one request, please let my men go!"

I didn't expect his Chinese to be so standard. He then added, "Please take me back alone and deal with me!"

Zhang Xuecheng whispered Hai Pingchuan's name, but he did not respond.

These Russians fought bravely, their clothes were stained red with blood and mud, and their hands tightly grasping the Mosin-Nagant were almost trembling slightly.
