Chapter Twenty-Three: Circular Defensive Array
The shouting and killing sound in front started again, and the cavalry company and the fast sudden company turned around and killed again! Like a wounded beast, the devil grabbed his rifle with red eyes, roared and threw himself into battle!
After all, the fast company is not a tank company, and the bulletproof effect of the truck is not very good. As soon as the two armies came into contact at the beginning, Yao Wenlong keenly discovered that the devil was different from the one just now. It's not good, the devil is crazy, get out! The driver here hits the direction and runs around the corner.
How can a person's two legs catch the wheels of a car, and if he wants to run suddenly, the devil can only look at the car and eat dirt. The same is true for the cavalry company, and the horses are also not bulletproof. Laksin and Bayan led the cavalry into the Japanese camp and slashed and killed again, but this time the number of devils they killed and wounded was obviously not as large as last time, and the cavalry company suffered much more losses than just now.
Rakshen knew that the situation had changed but still didn't want to retreat, and Bayan couldn't persuade him, so the two of them led the cavalry company to shout a fierce battle in the Japanese camp!
"Little devil, take your life!" "Hah! Kill! "Ding! While! Phew! Rakshin slashed at a devil officer in front of him again. The devil officer raised his sword and returned the fight. I don't know if it's too hard or what's going on, when Rakshen slashed the devil with this knife, he himself fell off the horse's neck!
Bayan was horrified, hurriedly grabbed his mount, turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to the front of him in a few steps and helped the person up, and saw that Lakshin's left shoulder was already wet. When I touched it with my hand, my hands were covered with red blood. Lakshin is wounded!
The situation was urgent, and he couldn't tell whether it was a gunshot wound, a knife wound, or a fall, Bayan pulled out a hada from his arms, and wrapped Lakshin's shoulder around it with three or two strokes.
Summoned the mounts of two people, and with great effort helped the man onto the horse. As a result, as soon as the horse stood up, Laxin fell off the horse again. As a good man who grew up on horseback, Laxin definitely fell off his horse less often than he fell out of bed. Now that he can't even sit still, it can only be said that he can't control his body anymore.
Bayan had no choice but to order his horse to lie down, carry Lakshin to the back of the horse first, and then he got on the horse and supported him from behind, and the two rode together. How can this battle be fought? Withdraw!
The cavalry company also withdrew. The devil can't chase it either. It is common sense that a two-legged man cannot catch up with a four-legged horse.
"Yamaguchi-kun, we can't run like this anymore!" Kobayashi Shaozo found his troubled brother in disgrace and told him his thoughts.
"Oh? Is there any good way to do it Kobayashi-kun? "Nakasa Yamaguchi isn't much better. His Excellency Nakasa had a bandage wrapped around his left upper arm, and the color was a little gray. He was not injured in such a severe shelling, but in the following retreat, he was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet in his left arm. Now that he heard Xiao Lin say that he couldn't run anymore, of course he had to ask what the plan was.
"If we continue to run like this, the enemy's cavalry, trucks, and artillery will attack in turn, and the infantry will be in hot pursuit, and we will always have to be chased by them. In my opinion, it is better for us to stop where we are and form a circular defensive formation to defend on the spot. Send a telegram requesting reinforcements! ”
"Circular defensive array? But what if the pursuers bombarded them with artillery? With so many of us gathered together, the enemy's artillery fire is not very guarded! "Thinking of the crater of thunder just now, Nakasa was scared. If he had to do it again, he might not have been so lucky.
"Yamaguchi-kun don't worry. As I thought about just now, the Chinese army did not use all its strength during the last round of shelling. They may not be able to launch another shelling this time! ”
"Oh? Why did Kobayashi-kun say that? Do you have any credentials? "There is no evidence. This thing is not for nothing, you have to tell a piece of evidence!
"Of course. Does Yamaguchi-kun know how many large-caliber guns the Chinese army behind us has? Do you know what model these guns are? ”
"This, it seems that there are six, is it a Type 92 infantry gun?" Yamaguchi is a little unsure. He had two such guns in his brigade, and he was quite familiar with infantry guns of this caliber.
"Yo Xi, Yamaguchi-kun's analysis is right! I think so too. Six Type 92 infantry guns, although not too heavy firepower, were two more than the guns of our two brigades combined. Six infantry guns, plus about ten mortars. ”
"If they had had enough shells, they would have been able to crush our troops with only artillery in the situation, leaving us no chance to escape! So I judged that our opponents had probably run out of shells. Therefore, we should set up a circular defensive formation and wait for reinforcements to be the most appropriate method at the moment. ”
"Okay, Kobayashi-kun's analysis is very reasonable, let's do what you want. Order the troops to set up a circular defensive position and stand for reinforcements! ”
In fact, the devil really can't run. They have been running for the past two days, and the serial attacks and desperate running they suffered just now have consumed too much of their physical strength, and if they continue to run like this, I am afraid that they will be able to exhaust these devils to death without fighting! Therefore, although the reason that Kobayashi Shaozuo said is not very reliable, the devils have no other choice!
Circular defensive positions were arranged, and telegrams for help were sent. It's up to them to see if they can hold out until reinforcements arrive.
The devil stops and doesn't run! The troops of the Flying Tiger Battalion quickly surrounded them. Ren Laifeng smiled when he saw the circular defensive array set up by the devil, these guys are planning to learn to shrink their heads and turtles, and they are ready to shrink their heads and resist.
Well, since you're ready to be beaten, what am I polite about? The troops take turns to fight! The cavalry company first asked Ying to fight, Ren Laifeng encouraged the two Mongolian warriors a few words, and the Mongolian men were immediately refreshed and rushed forward like a big scimitar!
Twenty minutes later, the cavalry returned with a feather! The Mongolian scimitars in their hands could not cut through the turtle shells of the devils, and the Mongolian warriors lost another twenty or thirty elites. Ren Laifeng calculated that from the beginning of the battle to the present, the cavalry company has lost one-third of its men and horses.
This has to be placed in some Western democracies, and this force may already meet the conditions for losing its combat capability, or being a prisoner! Our cavalry company, on the other hand, only suffered heavy damage, and they were able to continue fighting. However, Ren Laifeng will not put this army into battle again.
The cavalry company is fierce, and if he is really crippled in a battle, it will not be in line with his original intention. In the next formation, the first and second companies of infantry!
