Chapter 1409 - Sending Death with Enthusiasm (First Update!) )
"Boom...... Boom ......"
Two mines exploded one after another, and the two devil cavalry fell to the ground with a "......bang" and never got up again.
The cavalry behind was already accustomed to seeing it, not only did not stop, but continued to urge the horses to speed up, bypassing the corpses of their comrades and continuing to gallop forward.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of light machine gun fire suddenly sounded on the flank of the cavalry, although the cavalry was very fast, but the bullets flying over were too dense, and two cavalrymen still fell off their horses in response to the sound and were dragged by the war horses for dozens of meters before stopping.
The other cavalry in the vicinity hurried on as if they had no ears to what was going on outside the window and did not see their comrades who had been killed......
This is the reconnaissance company slowing down the speed of reinforcements from the devils.
Just now, this style of play was still useful, and the cavalry brigade was forced to stop several times.
Fighting, the devil seems to be numb by the beating, no matter how the reconnaissance even attacks, he doesn't stop, and he completely reinforces the battlefield with a posture of no concern.
Just when Chen Wei frowned, thinking about whether there was any other way to continue to drag the devil, the herald rushed over on horseback on a small road: "Company commander, the commander of the cavalry battalion Zhou asked me to tell you that the cavalry battalion has moved in place, and the reconnaissance company can withdraw from the battle." ”
"Great!" It just so happened that Chen Wei couldn't think of a way to continue to drag the devil, and when he heard the news that the cavalry battalion had been in place, he was obviously relieved.
"Boom ......"
More than two hundred horsemen galloped at the same time, and the roaring hooves of horses were no less than the sound of thunder.
The captain of the cavalry brigade ran in the middle of the ranks, watching and listening to all directions.
As he ran, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the battlefield.
He quickly drew his saber and raised it above his head, shouting loudly.
"The third brigade is still fighting, warriors, kill me and rescue them."
The nearby cavalry was the first to react, raising their sabers and preparing for the assault.
This move soon spread throughout the cavalry brigade.
At this time, the first few cavalrymen could already see the light of the fire rising from the battlefield.
His expression became more excited, and he kept patting the war horse's belly, urging it to go faster.
Three hundred meters ahead, six heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, one next to the other, were set up on the road.
Behind the flanks of the machine-gun positions, more than 300 cavalry of the cavalry battalion were divided into two, ready to rush forward at any time.
Probably knowing that they were about to go to war, many of the horses began to get restless.
All this was shrouded in darkness by night, and the cavalry rushing quickly did not notice it.
"Boom ......"
The devil cavalry rushed closer and closer, and the road under their feet began to tremble in the sound of the roaring horses' hooves.
The first few cavalrymen raised their sabers and in the blink of an eye they reached a hundred meters in front of the machine-gun position.
At their current speed, they could reach the machine gun position in five seconds at most.
Some of the machine gunners were lying on the ground, some were squatting on the ground, and the devils could be vaguely seen approaching.
The commander of the cavalry battalion fire company no longer hesitated, and ordered in a deep voice: "All light machine guns are fired......"
"Da Da Da ......"
Before the words fell, the familiar and dense strafing sound rang out.
On a position less than thirty meters wide, at least a dozen light machine guns were firing, with a tongue of fire every two meters.
Whizzing bullets rained down on the devils who rushed towards them.
With a "boom...... the front, the first few cavalrymen had already smashed to the ground, and there were still less than 70 meters from the machine-gun position.
The cavalry was too fast, and in the face of the surprise attack, the cavalry behind couldn't stop at all, and they ran into the rain of bullets from the light machine guns one after another.
"Rush over, the other party only has light machine guns, no heavy machine guns, speed up and kill them while they are changing bullets!" The cavalry captain was heartbroken, but the next rescue mission was too important to delay for a second, holding the reins and gritting his teeth to order.
"Kill ......"
Some cavalrymen exchanged their sabers for horse rifles, and counterattacked while attacking forward.
The fire company began to suffer casualties, and the cavalry brigade continued to advance, and the attack distance was slowly shortened from eighty or ninety to fifty meters.
But the price paid by the devils was huge, and at least fifty cavalrymen and horses fell on the offensive road.
"Heavy machine guns join the fight!" The commander of the fire company gave a decisive order.
Heavy machine guns have more firepower than light machine guns, a faster rate of fire, more penetrating bullets, a longer range, and more importantly, they don't have to change magazines.
As long as the ammunition hand is well coordinated, the firepower can be maintained for several minutes without interruption, which is an absolute killer against cavalry.
As soon as they fired, the devils couldn't push any further.
More and more people died, and they killed all the devils within a hundred meters......
"Disperse ......" the cavalry captain began to drip blood in his heart, and shouted in a hurry.
At the same time, he also realized that it was not easy to stop his Eighth Route Army.
Intercept with a light machine gun first and make yourself light.
Wait for the troops to rush close to the heavy machine guns before firing, inflicting heavy casualties on the cavalry captain.
Simple can't be simpler to show weakness, but I haven't seen through it.
"Sir, more than half of the troops have been killed or wounded, and not only will we not be able to save the third brigade, but we will die here ourselves." A squadron leader will come running over to warn you.
"Rush through the flanks of the battlefield in a roundabout way!" The captain quickly made a decision.
"In order to concentrate firepower, they arranged machine guns together, and the wings certainly did not have such strong interceptor fire."
"One of us led half of the troops to rush over, and then rescue the third brigade first, and then turn around and kill the Eighth Route Army here, to avenge the warriors who died in the battle."
"Boom ......"
More than 100 devils quickly divided their troops, and the captain led more than 80 subordinates to rush faster and faster, and when he was about to kill the flank of the blocking force, the familiar sound of horses' hooves sounded in front of him, getting closer and closer.
Stunned, the dense figure of the cavalry had already appeared in his field of vision.
"It's the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army!" The captain shouted.
As a true cavalry officer, he would certainly prefer to fight cavalry.
Even if the Chinese army had cavalry, it would not be as physical as the imperial army because of the lack of food and grass.
In addition, their training time and training methods are not as orthodox as those of the imperial army, and the two armies hedge, and the imperial army will definitely win.
Combining these factors, the cavalry captain was not only not afraid, but his eyes lit up.
Holding his saber, he rushed and shouted: "Kill them all with me and kill them." Let the Chinese army know what a real cavalry is! ”
"Kill to ......"
The captain of the cavalry brigade was too arrogant, and he ignored it as soon as his blood rushed up, ignoring a very important combat factor: only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Now he knew nothing about the oncoming cavalry, and he was in a hurry, rushing through with only blood, and it was too difficult to win if he wanted to win.
