My own war game

Chapter 168: The Sabre Swung High
Gada~Gada~
The white horse Shengli seemed very resistant. He kept paddling his hooves backwards and swinging his reins, and he was still unwilling to get close to He Chi.

"Comrade Special Envoy, I'm sorry, he wasn't like this before." Alexi bowed his head and apologized. He could actually understand why Victory was so repulsive.

Orlov horses are very smart, each with its own personality, and Victory is the cleanest of all.

The Oriental man was holding the black and smelly mud that he had dug out from the mud pit.

"You were pulling such a conspicuously colored horse across the battlefield, but you were not attacked until now. You are really lucky." He Chi shook his head helplessly, then picked up the mud in his hand and went to meet the enemy.

"Hold it! Don't let it move!"

“Hiss! Hiss!!”

Half an hour later, the pure white Orlov horse disappeared, and was replaced by a mixed-hair horse with a messy gray coat and mud spots all over its body.

Of course, it wasn't just Victory. Other horses also suffered the same "poisoning" to varying degrees.

During the process, Shengli actually tried to resist, but after making eye contact with the Oriental man, he immediately avoided the other's gaze in fear and endured the transformation while screaming.

"Okay, now at least it's not so conspicuous." He Chi shook off the mud on his hands, and then said, "Let's head west. We should reach our destination before dark."

"Comrade Special Envoy, we can probably reach the mission location in less than an hour by riding directly north. Why..." Alexei was halfway through his words when he saw the Oriental man looking at him as if he was a fool.

"Comrade Private Alexi, I have a few questions for you." He Chi said to the other party in the calmest tone.

"Please go ahead, Comrade Special Envoy." Alexey stood at attention.

"First question, having already suffered a German attack once, what do you think the chances are that we will encounter the Germans again?"

Alexei was stunned; he had never thought about these things.

"Second question, if we gallop openly on the road and are suddenly attacked, how many people will fall in the first round?"

The young soldier still had no answer.

"One last question, what if it wasn't German soldiers who attacked us, but German planes?"

This time, before Alexei could answer, as if to confirm what He Chi said, a Stuka roared over from the top of the woods!

Looking at the flying bombers, several young cavalrymen felt a chill on their backs. If they had gone out on the road recklessly like they had just now, they would have almost put themselves under the guns of German planes.

Soon after, the team set out again. The soldiers moved around the jungle with camouflaged horses, and hid in the woods if an airplane passed by.

The special envoy and two female soldiers stood in a V-shape at the outermost edge of the team, always alert to the surrounding environment. The few of them cooperated tacitly without almost any communication.

When they were almost at their destination, it was already dark and the few people could only move forward relying on the faint light of the setting sun.

"Wait a minute!" When passing an intersection, He Chi in front suddenly raised his hand and asked the people behind to hide.

The female soldiers immediately lay down, and Alexei was stunned for a moment before hiding in the woods with his horse.

About 3 minutes later, just as the trainees were getting impatient, they heard a rumbling sound from the road. Three German Type tanks drove over, and then one of them stopped by the roadside, and the soldiers next to it also stopped. A German tank soldier jumped out of the tank and walked around the body of the tank. It seemed that there was a problem with the tank.

Several student soldiers held their breath and dared not make any sound, but Alexei thought more and was able to sense the enemy's arrival several minutes in advance. Is this the veteran's sixth sense?
"It's not good. The Germans won't be able to leave for a while, and we can't avoid this place." He Chi looked around and came to this conclusion.

Then he looked at the young soldiers and said, "I'm afraid we're going to have to fight a battle."

The young cavalrymen immediately became nervous. A battle with tanks? Several of them subconsciously looked at their rifles and sabers.

He Chi estimated the distance to the other side and said, "200 meters. If it's any closer, we'll be discovered. How long will it take for your cavalry to rush there?"

Alexei took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Special Envoy, the terrain here is higher than over there, which is conducive to acceleration, but we can't start early, which will waste some time. It will take about 17 or 8 seconds."

"Less than half a minute, it should be possible. I'll buy you 20 seconds." He Chi nodded and then asked Tanya beside him, "Aim at the alert soldier on the opposite side and attack with me."

The girl nodded and stuffed another dried sweet potato into her mouth.

"Okay, now it's my turn." The Oriental man took out the military uniform that he had taken off the German from behind.

Alexei felt his hands sweating and the handle of his saber became slippery. Apart from the previous confusing attack, this should be his first real head-on combat. The things the teacher had taught him in the classroom seemed to be ringing in his ears, but his mind was blank now and even his breathing became heavy.

He nervously watched the special envoy, who was wearing a German uniform, slowly approach the enemy, and then shouted something on the spot.

The distance was too far, so Alexei couldn't hear what they were saying, but after a brief conversation, the German on the other side obviously let down his guard.

One officer seemed to have taken out a cigarette from his pocket and shared it with him. I don't know what the special envoy said, but most of the soldiers actually put down their guns and seemed to be moving forward to see something.

Boom! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Gunshots rang out suddenly, and three German soldiers, including the commander, fell to the ground in an instant. The other soldiers turned around in panic to grab their guns.

Bah!Bah!
The female soldiers who had been waiting for the signal opened fire, and another person on the opposite side fell down.

It's our turn! This signal flashed through Alexei's mind, and he jumped on the horse, but he almost missed the stirrup because of nervousness.

Alexei rode on Victory and brandished his saber, imitating his teacher's tone, "For the Soviets!!! Ura!!!!!!"

"Hurray!!!!" Six cadet cavalrymen shouted at the same time, urging their horses.

Charging downward from a high position, the horse's speed quickly increased to the maximum. The sound of wind on both sides kept ringing in his ears. Alexei lowered his body to avoid possible bullets, ready to fight the enemy to the death.

100 meters!
50 meters!
20 meters!
"what!!!!!!"

Alexei roared and rushed into the battlefield, he raised his saber high, and then he was stunned.

There were no living enemies on the ground except for the corpses.
