Chapter 337: Just in Time!
The 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Devils is one of the more elite cavalry units in the Japanese cavalry.
The Devil's Cavalry Wing was not equipped with heavy firepower weapons, and even the elite cavalry was only equipped with some light machine guns, as well as light grenadiers and mortars.
Although the firepower of the devil cavalry is not very powerful, the combat effectiveness of the enemy must not be underestimated.
The devil's cavalry is more flexible in the mountain environment, good at reconnaissance, rushing operations, once the battlefield is charged, the devil's cavalry is an infantry killer.
"Phew, hoo, hoo!"
The devil cavalry troops did not rush forward, and all the cavalry stopped moving forward and stood by.
A devil Dazuo was riding on horseback, he was holding a telescope in his hand to observe, and his cold face showed a bit of murder.
This devil Osa is the captain of the 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army, Shinzawa Kondo.
Shinsawa Kondo has always been arrogant, and this guy is very vicious, a warmonger who advocates bloody killing.
Since the invasion of China, Kondo Nobuzawa, a brute, has ordered the massacre of many Chinese civilians, and his hands are stained with the blood of innocent people, and he is a complete executioner.
A devil on a horse next to him said slowly: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the front is Nanguan County, and the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army is guarding the city, as well as the security regiment troops. ”
Kondo Nobusawa put down the binoculars and said disdainfully: "A small Nanguan County, the 37th Brigade and the 53rd Wing have not been conquered, and the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is really so strong?" ”
Kondo Shinzawa sarcastically questioned whether he thought the Chinese army had such a strong fighting force.
In the past, wherever they went to the Imperial Japanese cavalry, they were known as the elite of the Central Army, but the result was not to flee from the wind, and the security regiment and the Sichuan army must have been nothing more than that.
"If it weren't for the division commander not allowing our cavalry to take the initiative to attack, otherwise, I really want to compete with the Chinese defenders on the opposite side and let the Chinese army know the strength of our imperial cavalry!" Kondo Nobusawa stared at everything and said this confidently.
Afterwards, Kondo Shinzawa ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest in an open area under the col.
……
Ten minutes ago, the scouts at the front of the security regiment learned the news of the arrival of the cavalry of the 3rd Wing of the Devils.
At this time, Li Hong was washing, and suddenly, a second lieutenant of a reconnaissance platoon hurriedly ran into the headquarters of the security regiment.
"Report to the regiment, a large number of devil cavalry have been found outside the city!"
When Li Hong heard the news of the arrival of the devil cavalry, he didn't seem to care too much.
The front line was guarded by so many troops, and besides, the terrain outside the city was not conducive to a large cavalry attack.
If the devil cavalry dares to charge and provoke, it can only become a live target for the front-line troops.
Li Hong quickly wiped his face with a towel and asked, "How many devil cavalry are there?" ”
The second lieutenant of the reconnaissance platoon replied loudly: "Report to the regimental seat, outside the city is the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the 3rd Cavalry Wing under its jurisdiction!" ”
"Little devil 3rd Cavalry Wing? Li Hong asked the second lieutenant with interest, and then said: "Is this devil cavalry unit the one that occupied Chenguan Town last month and slaughtered more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians?" ”
The second lieutenant of the reconnaissance platoon replied: "Yes, Tuanza, the executioner who slaughtered more than a thousand soldiers and civilians in Chenguan Town is this devil cavalry wing. ”
"In addition to the 3rd Devil Cavalry Wing, are there any other devil troops outside the city?"
"No, the scouts only found the 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Japanese Army for the time being."
"Okay, great, this group of inhumane dogs is coming one day, and Lao Tzu will destroy them today!"
Li Hong said indignantly, and then, he carefully studied the topographic map near Nanguan County for a while, and soon thought of a way to lure the enemy into annihilating the devil's cavalry.
It is not so easy to completely annihilate a devil's cavalry on the battlefield, because the cavalry is agile and can pass through the narrow mountain roads and terrain.
Even if the security regiment has strong firepower and concentrates artillery to bombard the devil cavalry, as long as the artillery comes, the devil cavalry can immediately react and escape, and it is absolutely impossible to completely annihilate the devil cavalry.
Of course, there is no way to completely kill the 3rd Cavalry Wing.
There is a mountain road in Hutou Mountain, five kilometers outside the north city, and there is a piece of high ground on both sides of the mountain road.
Once the devil cavalry enters the mountain road, its mobility will be limited, and it will undoubtedly be in the mouth of the tiger, and the enemy will not even want to run.
Soon, Li Hong summoned Ma Shangfeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Hu Bald, the commander of the first battalion.
"Tuanza, Tuanza!!"
Ma Shangfeng and Hu Vulture hurried to the headquarters.
Li Hong made a long story short, circled the ambush points on the map, and then told the two of them the battle plan one by one.
"Battalion Commander Ma, order your cavalry battalion to be on standby, and wait for you and I to lead the cavalry to attack and meet the 3rd Cavalry Wing of the Devil."
"Bald, you immediately take your battalion, quietly go out of the city from the north gate, and quickly go around to the high ground near Hutou Mountain, five kilometers outside the city, to set up an ambush......"
"Yes, Tuanza, understood!"
Ma Shangfeng and Hu Bald nodded and immediately left the command headquarters with the battle order.
Li Hong's battle plan to lure the enemy deep and set up an ambush to annihilate the devil's cavalry is good, but the little devil is not a fool, but he is not so easy to be fooled.
Although the little devil will not obediently fall into the trap, Li Hong has always had a lot of conspiracies and tricks, and some methods are to "trick" the enemy into the trap.
After less than ten minutes, Hu Vulture quietly left from the north gate with a battalion and ran in the direction of Hutou Mountain.
The cavalry battalion was also fully assembled.
Li Hong was carrying a killing knife behind his back and wearing a set of stab-proof tactical vests.
He quickly mounted a war horse and rushed to the assembly point of the cavalry battalion.
Ma Shangfeng saw Li Hong riding over, raised his saber and made a cavalry salute: "Report to the regimental seat, the cavalry battalion has all assembled!" ”
Li Hong glanced at the majestic officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion, and shouted loudly: "The cavalry battalion, all of them, follow me!" ”
Li Hong pinched the reins, waved the horsewhip in his hand, and rushed to the front in the lead.
The rest of the cavalry, armed with submachine guns and short rifles and sabers beside them, followed Li Hong on horseback.
All the cavalry went out of the city and rode along a small road.
This small road leads directly to the road outside the city, and Li Hong and his team drove their horses non-stop for half an hour, and the movement reached a short distance from the mountain pass.
The path was surrounded by a mountain forest, which blocked the view of the devil's observation post, and the enemy could not detect the cavalry battalion at all.
Li Hong drew his killing knife, and the cavalry of the other security regiments also drew their sabers.
"Cavalry battalion, attack, kill—"
"Cavalry battalion, attack, kill—"
Li Hong and Ma Shangfeng each led a part of their troops, and the cavalry battalion soldiers divided into two ways to kill the devil cavalry under the mountain pass.
