"Chief of Staff, look! Shina ambush! ”

While the two were talking, one of the guards suddenly screamed.

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato hurriedly turned around, and they were extremely surprised to see that on the wilderness a few kilometers ahead, above the seemingly empty wilderness, two groups of cavalry suddenly appeared!

The number of these two groups of cavalry is not very large, and each group is only about twenty horses.

But to the surprise of Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato, with these two forces, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had been quietly ambushing less than five miles away from them! And it never went undetected!

"How is that possible?"

"How can there be ambushes here?"

"I've heard of ambushes in the forest, I've heard of ambushes in the valleys, but I've never heard of ambushes in open areas, how did the Eighth Route Army do it?"

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato were incredulous.

In the end, it was the guard just now who solved the puzzle: "Chief of Staff, the ambush soldiers in China should be hiding in the wheat straw!" ”

"Nani? Wheat straw stacks?! When Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato looked intently, they saw hundreds of wheat straw stacks in the wilderness ahead.

These straw stacks range from large to small.

If the middle of the large wheat haystack is empty, it is more than enough to hide a few cavalry.

"Yaga!" Ryoichi Yamamoto said in a deep voice, "These Eighth Route Army are really cunning, it's really unguardable!" ”

"It's useless, though!" Kato Masao sneered, "Although the Eighth Route Army is cunning, their commander is a stupid pig, and he launched an ambush too early. ”

"If you wait until the imperial cavalry has passed before launching an ambush, the ambush of the Eighth Route Army can form a front and rear flanking posture with the small group of cavalry in front, so that the imperial cavalry will be in trouble."

"But now, the Imperial cavalry can easily deal with them."

While the two were talking, the two cavalry squadrons of the Japanese army adjusted their direction slightly and rushed towards the two cavalry of the Eighth Route Army that had just emerged.

The two cavalry of the Eighth Route Army didn't know how to do it, they seemed to be confused, and they were still messing around there.

Running between the two ambushes was the first group of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, which did not seem to stop to share the pressure on the friendly troops.

Seeing this scene, Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato both laughed.

But after laughing, Yamamoto Ryoichi inevitably felt a little incredible.

Ryoyochi Yamamoto: "Kato-kun, judging from the previous battle between the two sides, it seems that the Eighth Route Army in Heyuan County should not be at this level?" ”

"With such a level of technique and tactics, how can it be an opponent of the imperial army?"

"That's true." Kato Masao said, "The Eighth Route Army's performance today is a little abnormal. ”

Speaking of this, the two old devils stopped at the same time, looking at each other in shock, could it be that the Eighth Route Army did it on purpose?

"Order, Matsushima squadron and Sato squadron......" Yamamoto Ryoichi just wanted to give the order, but it was too late.

Before the words fell, a neighing sound of horses suddenly sounded in the wilderness ahead, and then the Matsushima squadron, which was rumbling forward, and the Sato squadron, which was transferred from the Mongolian army, had more than 200 horsemen, and they all lost their hooves and fell on the wilderness without warning.

"It's ......"

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato were dumbfounded.

After a while, it was Kato Masao who first discovered: "Trapped in a horse pit!" Damn, it's a horse trap! ”

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the Matsushima squadron and the Sato squadron, which were rushing forward at full speed, could not hold their feet at all, and dozens of horsemen in front of them quickly stepped on the pit and fell to the ground.

The dozens of riders in the middle also couldn't hold their feet, followed and crashed into it, and also stepped on the trap and fell.

Although the dozens of riders at the back avoided in time, they unfortunately stepped on more traps on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the more than 200 cavalry squadrons of the two cavalry squadrons that were pursuing forward fell to the ground, and the remaining half were already in a mess, and they were in a hurry to turn around in place.

At this time, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, who originally looked like "headless flies", suddenly changed their faces.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, which had just been in chaos, suddenly set up a neat queue and began to charge forward.

In just a few minutes, the two cavalry of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the front of the devil cavalry queue, and the remaining small half of the devil cavalry had just left the pit area, and before they could regroup, they collided head-on with the Eighth Route Army.

One side is frightened, and the other side has been planning for a long time, so the result can be imagined.

The sword light flashed one by one, and the heads of the devil cavalry fell to the ground in rows.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 horsemen who had escaped from the trapped horse pit area had been brutally killed.

At this time, more than 20 cavalry cavalry of the Eighth Route Army who had "fled in a hurry" also came back.

The two cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, which had been ambushed in the wheat straw stacks, also rushed out five or six hundred meters and came back.

Invisibly, the three cavalry of the Eighth Route Army formed a triangular formation in the uncovered wilderness, occupying due east, northwest and southwest respectively.

And this time, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army did not charge again.

I saw that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army put their knives back into their sheaths, took out the 38-style cavalry rifles, and fired continuously at the Matsushima squadron and Sato squadron, which were still in chaos.

This time it's not a dynamic shot, it's a static shot.

Therefore, the hit rate of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was extremely high, and the guns rang out continuously, and the frightened Japanese cavalry were shot one after another.

Although there were also Japanese cavalry who calmed down from the panic and fired back.

But the resistance of a few Japanese cavalry was simply not enough to turn the whole situation around.

Moreover, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army came from three different directions, and the Japanese cavalry could neither find a dead spot to hide, nor did they know which direction to shoot back.

It's a long story, but it's just a few minutes.

In less than five minutes, Matsushima and Sato's squadrons had already been defeated.

The gap between the cavalry of the two sides at the technical and tactical level was originally very large, and now the Japanese army has fallen into a trap and is at a psychological disadvantage, which has invisibly caused a further decline in the technical and tactical level, and the combat effectiveness shown in actual combat is even weaker, so the battlefield performance can be said to be one-sided!

Before Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato could react, the fight was basically over.

Then, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army actually began to clean up the battlefield in front of the two of them and in front of hundreds of Japanese infantry less than three kilometers away.

It's really cleaning up the battlefield.

While busy gathering the ownerless military horses.

While busy collecting equipment for the Japanese army.

When encountering a seriously wounded Japanese army who did not die or stubbornly resisted, he did not hesitate to make up for him, and this group of Eighth Route Army didn't care about any bullshit Geneva Convention.
