Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Iron Cavalry Charges
Yao Wenlong accidentally injured his foot, and it would definitely not work to expect him to operate the cannon himself, and it was not easy for others to open fire. As a result, the operation of retaliating against the Japanese army with artillery was temporarily terminated.
Ren Laifeng didn't know what kind of results he had achieved by letting Yao Wenlong fire these cannons. The reason why he brought the patriarchs here was nothing more than to let these people know that although the power of the cannon was great, it was too restrictive and difficult to operate. It's not that I don't use it, it's just that it's not as convenient as you think.
Now that I look at it, that's still the case. You see, after only a few shots, the artillery company commander was wounded. Do you dare to keep fighting? As soon as the patriarchs discussed, well, the difficulty is really great. Since the cannon can't be counted on, let's think of a way from somewhere else.
In Linxi County, Watanabe Nakasa was playing the piano and singing on the tower of the city gate, and he was having a good time. Suddenly, he felt a sense of restlessness, and when he looked up at the sky, he saw a bright spot on the horizon rapidly growing larger, as if it was flying towards him! Watanabe Nakasa has a lot of combat experience, although he was not in a panic, he threw the three strings with his hand, and ran to the staircase!
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the small square table where Zhongzuo put the teacup and the three strings suddenly disappeared, and the floor tiles on the city wall blew out a big hole three feet square, and black smoke came out of the black hole! Watanabe Nakasa got up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but he didn't pay attention but wiped it into a big face.
A soldier reminded him, and Watanabe quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his face. Just as he was wiping, the roar started again, and as soon as Nakasa looked up, another cannonball flew towards him! Watanabe Nakasarang was so frightened that he rushed to the staircase! As soon as he arrived at the place, the cannonball fell, and the louder noise and vibration than before made Nakasa suddenly lose his feet, and his body was crooked, and he rolled down the stairs with a sideways edge.
"Ahh Help me! Help me! His Excellency Nakasa rolled down and shouted for help. Anyway, the Japanese soldiers on the city tower were stunned by the shells, and the Japanese troops below the city tower wanted to rescue, but they were too late in time, and they had to wait for the bottom to come down.
I don't know how Watanabe Nakasa's stairs rolled, dozens of steps, and there was a turn in the middle, he was able to roll to the end! As a result, he couldn't get up in the end. After examination, His Excellency Nakasa's left hand was fractured, his face was abrased, and his waist was twisted, which can be said to be multiple injuries all over his body.
The devils carried Watanabe Nakasa to the hospital in the county, where the military doctors of the army did their best to treat them. Before entering the hospital, Nakasa also instructed his subordinates: Strictly guard to the death, and no one is allowed to fight without authorization!
The commander's orders could not be ignored. From this moment on, the devils did not go out of the city, nor did they shoot artillery, they just stayed in the city, and they were ready to defend the city hard.
Outside the city, Ren Laifeng led the six-party coalition army to discuss how to attack the county seat. The Mongol patriarchs were more keen on storming, but Ren Laifeng didn't want to make senseless sacrifices, and he was ready to devise a more ingenious way to attack the county seat. There are several methods, but which one is suitable is still being considered.
"General Ren, you can't wait any longer! It's time for the sheep in our tribe to give birth, and we must go back in five days! Let your troops bring machine guns and small cannons, and our Mongolian cavalry will charge, and we will break through the county town today and avenge the Almu tribe! "It's Aditya, the patriarch of the Sunshine Tribe, who said this.
Several Mongolian patriarchs expressed their approval. Ren Laifeng wanted to persuade him again, but Lakshin came on a stretcher. After two days of recuperation, the young patriarch was already able to go back and forth on a stretcher.
"General Ren, you can agree. The hatred of our Mongols, let's solve it in the Mongol way. "This person was sitting on a stretcher covered in bandages, and he was still so angry when he spoke and did things.
Ren Laifeng looked at it, yes, I tried my best to reduce your casualties, and it seems to be a drag in your eyes! Well, since you insist on not listening, then do as you wish. Offensive! All the light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars of the Flying Tiger Battalion fought together, and the Mongol cavalry was the main force to attack!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The mortars were the first to fire, filling the smoke and dust of the bombardment near the city walls. Immediately after the sound of a sad horn, the Mongolian iron cavalry set out! More than a thousand Mongolian iron horsemen swept the land like a violent wind, and pounced on Linxi County with a monstrous momentum!
The Japanese troops on the castle tower began to return fire. One by one, they ran into the cavalry that fell into the charge, and the explosion of each shell caused a group of people to roll on their backs. The Mongol cavalry quickly changed formation, moving from a dense charge to a loose formation. The overwhelming Mongol cavalry shouted and shook their swords to launch a decisive charge towards the county seat.
The devils stood on top of the city wall, using rifles, machine guns, and grenadiers, and shooting down with impunity.
The Mongol cavalry in the charge was like wheat blown down by a strong wind, pouring one piece after another. Fortunately, it was only four or five miles from the position where the charge began to the city gate, and the war horse ran away in an instant. No matter how powerful the devil's artillery fire is, no matter how strong the lethality of the guns and bullets is, it can't stop the advance of all the Mongolian cavalry.
Finally, some cavalry rushed to the city gate at the risk of death. The gates were long closed, and the cavalry dropped grenades and flashed to the side. With a few explosions, the iron gate was also blown out of shape. We need to work harder! When the cavalry returned and were about to throw a few more grenades to blow the gates open, the gates didn't have to be blown open by themselves!
The Mongol cavalry was overjoyed, and with a cheer they were ready to rush in, but they knew that there was a continuous rooster cry inside the city gate: "Cluck! Giggles! "What kind of rooster is this? This is clearly the sound of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun with the reputation of chicken neck!
Pitiful, the Mongolian heroes who finally rushed to the gate of the city with nine deaths did not even have a chance to wield their swords, and died tragically under the guns of the Japanese invaders!
"Nachin! Ulaanba Day! The Mongolian patriarchs watched the warriors under their command die tragically in front of the city gate, and shouted in distress.
If the battle reaches this level, it can't continue any longer, and if it continues like this, their more than 1,000 Mongolian cavalry will all die here! The Mongol patriarchs want revenge and victory, but they are not fools, and none of them want to throw all the elites of their clan here!
Wow. The Mongol cavalry withdrew, like a low tide.
The horn sounded again, and the smoke and dust filled the sky in the distance.
