"Damn! It must be Li Yunlong's troops! Yamato Taketaka immediately rolled off his horse and hid in the dirt pit on the side of the road under the cover of several devil soldiers.

At this time, under the frightened eyes of Taketaka Yamato, the devils of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry who entered the ambush circle were staggered by the sudden artillery fire.

In particular, after Li Yunlong commanded Wang Chengzhu's artillery to block the access road to the low-lying basin where the ambush was located with artillery fire, Yamato Taketaka's 4th Cavalry Brigade was even more chaotic.

Ichisataro was also following Yamato Taketaka at this time, and he was very frightened, he didn't expect that Li Yunlong's troops would actually set up an ambush here to encircle and annihilate them.

Needless to say, the information that the so-called remnants of the Japanese army in Weichang County called Zhang Sanying to report the situation was wrong.

Li Yunlong's main force, which bypassed the east of Weichang County, was bound to just pretend, and then turned back and set up an ambush here.

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, must rush out. This is the low-lying terrain between several hills, and the surrounding mountainsides and mountain tops are full of Li Yunlong's ambush soldiers. Condescendingly, under the blow of firepower, our cavalry troops are bound to be difficult to resist! ”

Ichisataro shouted to Yamato Taketaka in a hurry, and Ichisataro was also anxious at this time.

In the midst of the gunfire, the devil cavalry of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, which was hastily attacked, was already beaten in confusion. Especially in this low-lying terrain, the entrances and exits were blocked by a new group of artillery fire.

When Yamato Taketaka heard Ichisataro's words, his face was gloomy, and the explosions around him came and went, and the devil cavalry rode on war horses and rushed abruptly, unable to advance or retreat.

It was a disaster for the cavalry to encounter an ambush on such terrain.

But if you don't rush out, you can counterattack in this terrain, and the odds won't be fighting. What's more, looking at the ambush firepower of the enemy troops around, at least five or six thousand people, it must be Li Yunlong's main force.

"Order the 3rd Cavalry Wing, the 25th Wing to turn to the rear and try to break out of the encirclement. Order the 26th Cavalry Wing, cover behind the palace! ”

Yamato Taketaka stabilized his mentality and pretended to be calm and said to Ichi Sataro.

Ichisataro immediately said, "Hai, brigade commander!" Obedience! Immediately, Ichisataro hurriedly sent a devil herald to order all departments to execute!

Taketaka Yamato then grabbed Ichisataro and continued to shout: "Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Your Excellency the General, informing Your Excellency that the 4th Brigade of our Cavalry was ambushed by Li Yunlong's main force in the mountainous area of Awl Mountain in the west of Weichang County. The situation is urgent, request for reinforcements! In addition, immediately contact Longhua through the radio, and the imperial army that went north in Chengde immediately went north to the mountainous area of Awl Mountain, reinforcing our department, and dragging quickly. ”。

"Understood, Brigade Commander!" Ichisataro immediately responded, and then quickly found the Japanese signal corps who was scattered by artillery fire, and urgently sent a report for help.

At this time, Li Yunlong was in the bunker of the headquarters on the top of the main peak of Awl Mountain, condescendingly observing the dazzling ambush fire from his own side.

At the foot of the mountain, the shells fell one by one, and soon the flames exploded in the low-lying area below the mountain, and the devil cavalry in the chaos was suddenly blown up crying dad and mother. The flames of the artillery explosion quickly engulfed the devil cavalry in the hasty chaos.

"Hahaha, order Wang Chengzhu to beat me hard! Within half an hour, it was necessary to deal with the 4th Cavalry Brigade of Taketaka Yamato. We don't have much time, and the Japanese troops in Zhang Sanying, Tang Sanying and other places are bound to go north for reinforcements! Li Yunlong laughed, and then waved his hand to one of the staff officers of the command bunker and ordered.

The staff officer of the army smiled: "Understood, regiment commander." ”。

At this time, the destruction of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade belonging to the 4th Division of the Devil was basically no accident.

You know, in this kind of terrain, the cavalry is not as good as the devil's infantry.

Although the strength of the little devil cavalry is strong, it is only effective when it is charged and killed on a flat terrain. The triangular low-lying terrain between Awl Mountain, Beacon Hill and another peak, which is composed of Awl Hill as a whole, is the least suitable for cavalry to charge.

And this kind of terrain is even more of a disaster for the devil cavalry. This kind of terrain, once it encounters a rapid fire attack from the surrounding mountains, it is not dead or half-disabled.

Sure enough, under the joint efforts of Zhang Dabiao and other troops, the ambush battle began less than five minutes ago, and the artillery fire and various bullets of the ambush attacked sharply, and at least seven or eight hundred cavalry of the unsuspecting 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry were killed.

In the ambush circle, the fire caused by the explosion of artillery fire began to spread. Especially when Li Yunlong was deploying an ambush, on both sides of the terrain road below the mountain, a large number of lime powder or something that was found from the paddock county town was hidden, and the artillery fire exploded, and the smoke dispersed, and the team of choked devil cavalry quickly became chaotic.

"Eight grid tooth road, Li Yunlong is cunning and cunning! It's despicable! Yamato Taketaka, who was hiding in a dirt pit and hiding his head and looking around, was also choked by the smoke caused by the lime powder blown up by the artillery fire, and immediately knew what it was, and the angry Yamato Taketaka scolded.

It's just that what means are used in battle, it is also the proper meaning. What's more, this is also a general method, which can only be blamed for causing the temporary chaos of the devil cavalry.

The big head, or with a variety of light and heavy weapons for firepower.

And this, Yamato Taketaka was helpless.

"Brigade commander, the situation is not good. The 3rd Cavalry Wing and the 25th Cavalry Wing broke through to the rear unfavorably. The artillery fire of the other side was too strong, and the artillery fire had blocked the road to the south when it came. The two wings broke through with heavy casualties, losing at least hundreds of horsemen! I have ordered them to withdraw for the time being, and to mount and organize resistance! ”

At this time, Ichisataro hurriedly rushed to Taketaka Yamato's side with his waist and smiled bitterly.

"How many centaurs do we have now?" The ambush battle had been going on for at least ten minutes, and Taketaka Yamato had finally remembered to see how many cavalry he still had in his hands.

"According to preliminary statistics, the total number of people in each ministry is less than 1,300! More than half of the war horses were lost, and the rest of the war horses were also blown up by the enemy's artillery fire in this terrain and fled in all directions. Each department can only blame the dismount and fight! ”

When Yamato Taketaka heard this, his face was gloomy, "Ichizo-kun, there is no way." It was impossible for the cavalry to break through, so order all the cavalry to dismount, abandon their horses and attack the main peak of Awl Mountain! As long as we attack the main peak of Awl Mountain, we will still be able to survive. Otherwise, you can only blame the death. ”

It's just that Ichisataro is very pessimistic, and the enemy troops and firepower on the main peak and summit of Awl Mountain are stronger. This is the most important vantage point among all the ambush locations, overlooking the rest of the mountain peaks, how could Li Yunlong sit back and watch you lead the army to take it?

But there is no way at this time, and what Taketaka Yamato said is not bad. Otherwise, sit back and wait, it's not the style of the 4th Cavalry Brigade!

"Brigade commander, lowly agree! Seize the commanding heights of the main peak of Awl Mountain, we still have a chance, otherwise there is only a dead end. Ichisataro thought about it, and finally said it heavily, his tone resolute.
