Chapter 136: Battle of Mara (1)

Dablu Mountain is a mountain less than eight kilometers away from Mara. Although this mountain has sparse vegetation, it has a mountain spring. There is also a winding road through the foot of Dablu, connecting Mara and Adwa.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for defense and alert, so Major General Wagman, who captured Mara, immediately sent a battalion of troops to stick here as an outpost and a guard point.

The three battalions where Cosenz was located were selected to be the outposts stationed on Mount Dabru.

To become a front-line unit, you must be an elite unit. From this aspect, it is also the commander, Major General Wagman, who values ​​them.

In this regard, the third battalion where Cosenz is located is more united, ready to use practical actions to let him know that the third battalion of the third regiment of their guards should take this seriously.

Therefore, after rushing to Dablu Mountain, the third battalion was even more engaged in construction work. After a busy week, the defensive position of Dablu Mountain began to take shape. What trenches, parapets, sandbags, civil fortresses, etc., can be seen everywhere on Dablu Mountain.

Standing in the fortifications on the top of the mountain, Cosenz looked at the desolate scenery around, and always felt a different flavor.

"Cosenz, Cosenz, didn't expect you to be here."

Out of breath, Barry climbed up the hill.

"What's the matter, Barry?"

Cosenz looked back at his friend and asked back.

Looking at his friend with a question mark on his face, Barry shook his head and replied after thinking about it. "It's nothing, I didn't see you, I want to come and have a look."

Having said that, Barry craned his neck curiously and looked in the direction his friend was looking.

"Let me see what are you looking at."

What entered his eyes was a desert, and the sparse bushes were like the embellishment of the earth.

"It's nothing to see, I don't know why you like staying here so much."

"Because you can see farther here, and it's clean."

Cosenz's answer made Barry look at his friend in disbelief.

"Are you planning to be a poet, writer, or artist in the future?"

Seeing that the friend was talking more and more, Cosenz replied quickly. "None of these."

Listening to Cosenz's answer, Barry became even more curious. "Then what are you doing here?"

"I just want to come up and clean up."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

After getting Cosenz's answer, Barry patted his chest and said. "That's good, I thought you had battlefield depression."

"Battlefield depression?"

Cosenz didn't expect his close friend to think he had the disease. This is a psychological symptom produced by soldiers who experience high pressure on the battlefield.

"Why do you think so?"

Facing the friend's question, Barry answered truthfully. "I saw that you were all right and stayed by yourself, no longer like before, and then someone said that you might have battlefield depression."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Listening to Barry's explanation, Cosenzi couldn't support himself. "Barry, my best friend, didn't expect you to think this way."

Seeing Cosenz's smile, Barry also laughed for some unknown reason.

So the two people on the top of the mountain laughed like fools.

"Thanks to my best friend for caring, I'll keep that in mind."

Cosenz, who withdrew his smile, patted his friend on the shoulder and said something cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, who called you my best friend."

In this moment, the friendship is in the air, and the two feel like they have returned to the good old days in Palermo.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, Cosenz looked into the distance and couldn't help but exclaimed.

And Barry looked curiously in the direction his friend was looking at. I don't know when there are a few small black dots in the distance, which are moving quickly towards this side, and more small black dots appear behind them.

"There is a situation!"

The two expressed their judgments in unison.

"Someone is coming. According to the speed, it should be a horse, and the people behind should be chasing them."

Speaking of this, Cosenz immediately reacted. "It's our people being pursued."

Immediately, he pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the sky.

The crisp sound of gunfire seemed to be a signal, and immediately made the position commotion.

"What's the matter, who's shooting?"

After a while, the voice of the battalion commander Valery came.

Cosenz shouted at once. "I was shooting."

Battalion Commander Valery, who walked to the top of the mountain, saw Cosenz and said with some doubts. "Cosenz, what's going on?"

Cosenz took it to the side where the situation was discovered and pointed. "An enemy is coming."

Hearing Cosenz's words, battalion commander Valery immediately took out the binoculars from his satchel and observed it carefully.

"It's really our people, and there are at least one cavalry battalion-sized enemy chasing them."

Valery, who discovered the situation, quickly spoke to the soldiers behind him. "I gave my order, and the position is on alert."

Following Valery's order, the three battalions immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Everyone rushed to the fortifications with weapons.

And the two troops that were chasing and fleeing in the distance also let everyone see clearly. The ones in front wearing the same uniforms are friendly troops, but they are not in very good condition, and almost everyone wins. Behind him, the Abyssinian cavalry of the brigade pursued behind him.

As the battalion commander, Valery gave an order to a 57mm gun group behind him after visualizing the distance. "Fire the gun and warn the Abyssinians."

"Bang!"

A shell exploded in front of it to the right, causing the chasing Abyssinian cavalry to stop slowly. They glanced at the Italian officers and soldiers who were waiting in battle, and left without looking back.

Although seeing the enemy cavalry turn their heads and leave, Valery did not let everyone disarm, but ordered. "Cosenz, you bring a few people and bring the friendly forces back."

"As ordered, sir."

"The second row and the first class follow me."

Cosenz then immediately greeted him with a dozen soldiers.

"Which army are you from?"

With nearly 100 meters away, Cosenz began to inquire.

One of the cavalrymen wearing the rank of sergeant replied. "We are the seventh company and the second row of the cavalry regiment directly under the 3rd Army."

When the numbers were correct, Cosenz brought people to his side.

"Why are you being pursued by the Abyssinians?"

"Give us some water first, let me drink it and tell you."

Cosenz didn't have a water bottle with him, so he asked for one from his soldier and handed it over.

The friendly soldier was not polite, and immediately took the water bottle and took a few sips. Then he handed the water bottle to the others. The same action was shown in the hands of the other cavalry soldiers.

The actions of these people made Cosenz realize that these cavalrymen were elites.

But what should be asked still has to be asked, Cosenz said immediately. "Now we can talk about what's going on here."

"We went to Aduwa to investigate the enemy's situation and accidentally found that the enemy was gathering. Then, under the leadership of the platoon leader, we were ready to see what the enemy wanted to do, and try if we could grab a tongue and torture it. But it happened when we grabbed the tongue. After a little accident, the enemy chased us all the way, until we got here. Now we are the only cavalry in our platoon. ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ If this sergeant cavalry is the case, let Cosenz do it. People are awe-inspiring, and the investigators who dare to touch the enemy's nose must be the elite, but they are not as lucky to be discovered by the enemy.

"What are you going to do now?"

"Go back first and report it. I feel that these enemies are very wrong, and they have been chasing here all the way."

"Well, do you need anything else?"

"No need, here is a few steps from Mara City."

"Good luck then."

"goodbye friend."

"goodbye."

After sending off the scout cavalry who did not stop for a moment, Cosenz informed the battalion commander of what he knew.

"Okay, I see. How dare these Abyssinians dare to chase in front of our position."
