Chapter 1410: The Confused Japanese Army (Second Update!) )
From the analysis of training strength and the physical strength of war horses, the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment is not an opponent of devils.
But they have two advantages: strength and firepower.
When there was still a gap of seventy or eighty meters between the two sides, the horse rifles equipped by the Japanese only fired a messy and sparse burst of bullets, and then the horse rifles were replaced by sabers, ready to launch a final assault on the oncoming cavalry.
The cavalry battalion did not change or shoot, and continued to keep the formation and assault forward.
If there was no cover of night, the devils would definitely see a scene that frightened and frightened them.
The cavalry in the front row, either holding submachine guns or box guns, and the cavalry in the back were all holding horse rifles in one hand, and the devil cavalry, who were getting closer and closer, only waited for an order to shoot the rain of bullets at the opponent.
"Horn Horn Horn ...... Dadada......"
Battalion commander Zhou Wu was the first to shoot, and the box gun was like a small machine gun in his hand, and the bullets flew out of the barrel and flew in a fan shape towards the little devil fifty meters away.
The three devils at the front of the assault formation were like hitting a wall, and they fell off their horses instantly after being shot.
Because his feet were still hooked on the stirrups, he was dragged by the war horse for more than ten meters before slowly stopping.
If he was not killed on the spot by the bullets fired by Zhou Wu, he would also be dragged to death by the war horse under his former crotch.
Not to be outdone, the fighters next to them fired continuous fire from submachine guns, box guns, horse rifles, and more.
It took only three seconds to fire at least 500 rounds at the devil.
Cavalry assault formations tend to be inverted triangles, and the formation is very dense, like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of the enemy.
Devils are no exception.
The cavalry at the front of the inverted triangle, because they directly faced the enemy and were responsible for tearing a hole in the enemy's defensive line, were often the most elite soldiers in the whole army.
But no matter how powerful they are, they are flesh and blood.
The saber may be able to defeat one against three, or even one against five, but it will not work in front of the bullet.
The rain of bullets whizzed past, harvesting wheat and taking their lives.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of devils at the front of the team were planted from their horses, and some of the cavalry's horses were also hit, and they fell to the ground with their horses.
The team was suddenly attacked by such fierce fire, and the soldiers in front were shot one after another and fell off their horses, and the cavalry behind thought that something was wrong.
Subconsciously tighten the reins, if you want the war horse to run slower, don't crash headlong and die, you don't know how to die, it will be a loss.
In such an instant, the speed of the devil's assault slowed down.
The cavalry battalion doesn't care about that.
Taking advantage of your illness is the best tactic to defeat your opponent.
Led by Zhou Wu, after firing the bullets in the chamber, he quickly inserted the weapon into the holster, drew the sabre, held it in his hand tightly, and then put his whole body on the horse's back, and used his fastest speed to kill the devil.
Twice the advantage in strength because many devils were killed by the melee fire of the cavalry battalion, and it suddenly became a fourfold advantage in firepower.
No matter how unbearable the cavalry battalion is, four cavalry can win against devils and one cavalry......
On the ambush battlefield, the ambush battle of the garrison regiment against the devil's reinforcements also reached the last moment.
Fifty personnel carriers, at least half destroyed.
Along the convoy, there were craters more than two meters deep.
The corpses of the devils fell around the crater in various postures.
The captain of the Devil Brigade, who commanded the reinforcements, was hit in the back by a string of heavy machine-gun bullets, and the attacking troops were already breathing when they found him!
"Regiment leader, the little devils in the encirclement are finished, we have won!" Hong Linfeng ran over to report with a smile on his face.
"I counted a little, there are still 18 personnel carriers on the road that can move, and all the others have been destroyed."
"Because of the massive use of flying thunder cannons, most of the weapons equipped by the devils have been destroyed, but there is no need to be too heartbroken, I have probably taken a look, and most of them can be repaired after being sent to the arsenal."
"The troop losses are entirely within our tolerance."
"No more than three hundred people were killed, and no more than a hundred were seriously wounded."
Li Hao replied with satisfaction: "This is a good start. ”
"Without this infantry brigade, there will be fewer Japanese puppet troops in the city, and our siege pressure will be sharply reduced in the future."
"Chief of Staff, you immediately arrange for the troops to clean up the battlefield, and before dawn, all the participating troops and captures will enter the mountain."
"Next, it depends on how the Japanese army moves, if it does not move after dawn, tomorrow night we will sweep away all the troops deployed by the Japanese army outside the city according to the No. 1 battle plan, turn Datong into an isolated city, and finally concentrate all forces to attack Datong."
At five o'clock in the morning, the night that shrouded Datong City began to slowly disappear.
The eastern sky has already appeared a little white, and at a glance you know that today will be a good day.
But no one in the Japanese command was in the mood to welcome such good weather.
At about two o'clock in the morning, radio contact between the command and the reinforcements was lost.
At four o'clock in the morning, the coal mine lost contact.
Because the cavalry brigade did not carry a radio station, it did not send anyone to contact the headquarters from the time it left the city.
Although there is no clear information to prove that something happened to them, anyone with a little common sense can see that if the reinforcements and the coal mine are in trouble, they must be more than lucky.
The brigade commander is a short-tempered man, if he would have started cursing people a long time ago.
But today, I was very surprised, in the face of one bad news after another, I surprisingly did not get angry and curse.
Standing next to the sand table, not speaking or moving, staring at it all the time, no one knows what they are trying to write?
The chief of staff mustered up the courage to ask: "General, it's almost dawn, we haven't contacted the coal mine and reinforcements yet, do you want to send someone out to take a look, no matter what the result is, we must find out what happened outside the city last night?" ”
The brigade commander raised his head and ordered: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, send someone out of the city immediately." ”
"Last night's battle was too abnormal, it was by no means a simple encirclement and reinforcements, there must be some conspiracies that we don't know about, and we must all find out."
"The intelligence services are also in action."
"Why did the Eighth Route Army, which is active in Datong, become so powerful, why haven't I received any information in this regard."
"I'm sure the intelligence services wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, there must be something in it that we don't know."
"Send me all the information I want before noon, otherwise the military law will be involved."
An hour later, none of the scouts sent out by Datong returned.
No one had returned after two hours, and it was as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
The scout cavalry is the elite with the strongest combat effectiveness in every unit, and under normal circumstances, it only takes an hour to run a round trip for more than ten kilometers.
The coal mine is less than 15 kilometers away from Datong City, and two hours have passed, and no news has come back. Something must have happened to those scouts who left the city.
The chief of staff could not wait, and although there were still more than three hours before the time set by the brigade commander, he still hurried over to report.
