Chapter 251: He Wants to Destroy the Military Flag!
Kikuchi Hengji is tragic.
He also didn't expect that the cavalry of his squadron would be beaten by a team composed of a group of teenagers and twenties in this small Wudou Township.
Originally, he didn't have the heart to underestimate the enemy, but when he saw the defensive formation arranged by Gao Yuan, he instantly swelled a little.
The front and back two layers, the spacing is dense, and the depth is no more than ten meters.
Such a defensive formation is simply rubbish for cavalry.
Although there is a minefield, it is not very useful for the cavalry, who are known for their speed.
However, he didn't know that that such a formation was deliberately done by Gao Yuan, on the one hand, to confuse them, and on the other hand, to concentrate firepower.
Whether it is a German submachine gun or a light machine gun, after all, it is only a small part, and the main firepower is still rifles.
If the personnel are relatively concentrated, when one person pulls the bolt and returns the shell, there will be other people who can just shoot and shoot, which avoids the embarrassment of being rushed into the position by the enemy when the shell is withdrawn.
And behind this embarrassment, what the fighters need to pay is the price of their lives!
Although Gao Yuan's arrangement could not completely avoid the possibility of being rushed into the position by the enemy, it could be avoided to the greatest extent.
At this time, Kikuchi Hengji's eyes were already red.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, the advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play, and he had to withstand the enemy's dense fire attack, he chose to make a desperate bet when he did not want to and could not retreat.
There were about seven or eight soldiers around him at that time, and Kikuchi Hengji loudly ordered those men to follow him, and the rest continued to attack Takato's position.
Those horses shot by the special operations team can indeed effectively stop the cavalry attack, but if it is only a few people and a few horses, it is not difficult to find a way.
Moreover, Kikuchi Hengji and one of the Japanese commanders, Cao Chang, had a Thompson submachine gun in their hands, and they had a certain advantage in firepower, and they successfully broke through the defense line of the special operations team and directly entered the position of the first company.
Gao Yuan didn't find out that there was still this kind of weapon in this Japanese cavalry before, and when he was unprepared, the sudden sound of a submachine gun made him not react for a while, so he couldn't stop Kikuchi Hengji at the first time.
Kikuchi Hengji, who rushed into the position of the company, did not pause for a moment, and went straight through the position, galloping in the direction of Goto Township.
But the Japanese soldiers who followed him did not have that kind of good luck.
Three of them were killed by the members of the special operations team who reacted, and the other two were killed by a company of fighters after entering the position, and only two rushed after Kikuchi Hengji.
Gao Yuan looked at Kikuchi Hengji's back, and yelled at Xu Zhi with a gloomy face:
"Xu Zhi! Grab the horse, chase me! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly rushed towards the enemy on the opposite side, stretched out his hand to grab an ownerless war horse, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, and chased after Kikuchi Hengji.
At this time, he was indeed a little out of proportion, and even took Xu Zhi to chase Kikuchi Hengji regardless of his identity as a commander.
When he passed through the special operations team and the first company's position, he only shouted loudly, "Kill those little devils!" And he galloped away.
This is actually not a lofty impulse, when Kikuchi Hengji passed by him, he saw Kikuchi Hengji's rank and knew that it was the commander of this cavalry.
Moreover, the situation in front of him has basically stabilized, and it is not realistic for those cavalry to break through the defense line of the special operations team, let alone a company of soldiers behind them.
Kikuchi Hengji and another Japanese commander Cao had a Thompson submachine gun in their hands, and if they really rushed into Wudou Township, I am afraid that many people would be killed.
Although Arita Liuwa stayed behind, the soldiers around him were all new recruits, and some of them had not even been trained, and if they wanted to stop these three people, they would have to pay a lot of price.
Another point is that Kikuchi Hengji rushed over from him, in case of any irreparable consequences, how can he represent Liu Cheng?
As Liu Cheng understood, Gao Yuan was a fierce general, and he was never ambiguous in fighting, and there was no problem with the deployment and arrangement of the battle, but he had a fatal flaw, that is, he was belligerent and impulsive.
This shortcoming, which can sometimes be a big problem, is often just a bad decision that can lead to the defeat of a battle.
The reason why Liu Cheng never said Gao Yuan was because in his previous life he had the same problem as Gao Yuan now.
This is not a shortcoming in the absolute sense of the word, and there are times when this character can save a fight.
Therefore, this kind of character can be said to be a double-edged sword, which can be invincible when the timing is just right; When the timing is bad, countless lives can be lost.
Fortunately, this Kikuchi Hengji is also an impulsive character.
The reason why he wanted to rush into Wudou Township was not to kill people to vent his anger, or to kill an important person to make up for the loss of the battle, but to put down the military flag of the independent battalion.
Before he came, he knew that there was a military flag in Wudou Township, which was also the point that Nomura Toshio could not tolerate the most.
The commander of Kikuchi Hengji once told him that he must bring back the military flag to prove his victory, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Nomura Toshio.
In those war years, the military flag was definitely more important to a force than human life.
The flag fell, and in the minds of many, this unit ceased to exist.
If Kikuchi Hengji really destroys the military flag of the independent battalion, once the news spreads, it may be difficult to expand the independent battalion in the future.
Who would want to join a force whose flag has been destroyed? And what will those people in Wudou Township think? Will they still believe that the independent battalion is capable of protecting them?
This is not a formalism, but a spirit, a symbol, the soul of an army!
If Kikuchi Hengji succeeds, Takato will be a sinner in the independent battalion, and what face will he have to train the team in the future?
Although Gao Yuan still doesn't know Kikuchi Hengji's purpose, he must prevent him from entering Wudou Township!
When Kikuchi Hengji saw Gao Yuan and Xu Zhi catching up, he immediately turned his head and ordered the Japanese soldier with an ordinary rifle in his hand:
"You go back and stop them!"
The Japanese soldier did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted "Ha Yi", then grabbed the war horse under his crotch, turned around and rushed up to meet Gao Yuan.
I have to say that the Japanese soldiers at that time had a very strong sense of obedience, and they would unconditionally and absolutely obey any order issued by their superiors, even if the order was to send them to death, they would never hesitate, let alone refuse!
The two German-style submachine guns in Gao Yuan and Xu Zhi's hands rang out at the same time, and although the Japanese soldier was already lying on horseback, he still failed to dodge the bullets flying towards him......
