Chapter 366: The Return of the Horse
"Steel? What are you doing here? ”
Seeing Tie Gang, Xu Rui was a little surprised, shouldn't Tie Gang be lying on the bed in the field hospital?
Tiegang smiled and said proudly: "Lao Xu, you are really not interesting, such a big battle didn't even inform me, if Xiao Gang hadn't secretly told me, I would have almost missed this battle, besides, such a major combat operation, how can I not participate in such a major combat operation?" ”
Tiegang came, and Xu Rui didn't bother to teach him any more lessons, and asked with concern at the moment: "Is there anything wrong with your body?" ”
"No problem, it's all right, Lao Xu, look." In order to show that his injury had healed, Tiegang used his fist to make his chest white, but only Tiegang himself knew that there was still some faint pain in his chest when he patted it, which showed that the wound had not completely healed, and I hoped it didn't crack.
"Okay, don't shoot it, shoot it again and crack the wound again." Xu Rui didn't have a good breath and said, "Come on, just come, but I won't lower my requirements for you just because you are a wounded, and I won't cancel the accountability of you, the battalion commander, your cavalry battalion is half an hour later than the scheduled time, what's going on?" ”
Tiegang smiled and said, "There was something wrong on the way here, so it was delayed for more than half an hour." ”
Tie Gang said that he had been delayed for more than half an hour, but his tone did not mean any self-blame or guilt, looking at the expression on his face, it was more like a glorious thing to be half an hour late.
"Hey, it's okay to be late?" Xu Rui said, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Tie Gang smiled, turned back to Tie Xiaogang and said, "Xiaogang, you come to tell the head of the regiment what happened." ”
"Yes!" Tie Xiaogang snapped upright, first saluted Xu Rui, and then said loudly, "Report to the regiment commander, our cavalry battalion encountered the cavalry wing of the little devil on the way to Wild Horse Beach, and in order to solve the cavalry wing of the devil, it was delayed for a little time. ”
"What?"
"Devil cavalry?"
"Cavalry wing?"
"You killed the devil's cavalry wing?!"
As soon as Tie Xiaogang's words fell, He Guangming and his three company commanders' jaws were about to drop.
If someone says that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese infantry is stronger than that of the Chinese infantry, I am afraid that many Chinese veterans who have fought on the battlefield of blood and fire may find it difficult to agree, such as the veterans of the 79th Route Army, or the veterans of the Red Army after the 25,000-mile long march, I am afraid that such a superficial view will be dismissive.
But if it is said that the combat effectiveness of the devil cavalry is better than that of the Chinese cavalry, no Chinese cavalry will oppose it, and even a veteran like Tie Gang must admit that the devil cavalry is stronger than the Chinese cavalry in terms of training, equipment, and technical and tactical ability, and it is not a little stronger, but a big cut.
However, now, the cavalry battalion has killed a cavalry wing of the devil on the premise of the same strength!
Xu Rui was also a little surprised, and said in a deep voice: "Gangzi, it's okay, I was still worried about the cavalry wing of the Kawaguchi detachment just now, but I didn't expect that this trouble has been solved by your cavalry battalion, tell me, how did you kill the devil's cavalry wing?" How exactly is this battle fought? ”
Xu Rui asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, and at that moment, He Guangming, Yao Lei, Gao Chu, Zhu Chen and other company commanders all pricked up their ears, all wondering how the cavalry battalion fought this battle?
Tie Gang smiled and said proudly: "Lao Xu, didn't you tell me last time that the cavalry of the little devils is basically from the samurai class, and the pride of these little devils has been integrated into the bone marrow?" So, I was thinking, once we encounter them on the battlefield, and put on a cavalry hedge posture, with the pride of the little devils, they will definitely not bother to compete with us for firepower, but will compete with us for slashing skills on horseback, don't you say? ”
"Won't it?" Huang Shouxin immediately questioned and said, "Since the First World War, cavalry has ceased to be cavalry in the pure sense, but has become dragoons, which is the infantry on horseback, only riding horses when marching in peacetime, once entering the battlefield, all cavalry will dismount and participate in the battle like infantry." ”
"Keep your word and you're right, the current cavalry is indeed no longer pure cavalry, but dragoons, but ......," Xu Rui paused here and said, "The cavalry of Little Japan is the only army in the world that still retains the traditional cavalry combat concept so far, so if the cavalry of Steel puts on a cavalry hedging posture on the battlefield, the devil cavalry will definitely choose-for-tat." ”
"That's right." Tie Gang nodded heavily, "Lao Tzu's three cavalry companies have just opened the cavalry formation, and the devil cavalry on the opposite side immediately opened the cavalry formation, and then launched a charge first, not to mention, the cavalry of the little devil really has a momentum when he rushes up, and Lao Tzu is almost not scared." ”
When Xu Rui heard this, of course he heard that this was just Tiegang's ridicule.
He Guangming, Yao Lei, Zhu Chen, Gao Chu, Huang Shouxin, Mei Jiuling and other battalion company commanders also laughed.
Tiegang changed his words, and said: "But this little devil is really stupid, he really thought that Lao Tzu would play any cavalry hedge with them, they didn't expect that Lao Tzu's infantry company had already been ambushed in the cornfields on both sides, and when the little devil entered within fifty meters, just a flash of firepower, the devil's cavalry formation was completely chaotic, and then, Lao Tzu led three cavalry companies to charge only one by one, and the devil's cavalry was beaten into a mess!" ”
He Guangming was dumbfounded: "It's that simple? The devil's cavalry wing was crushed like this? ”
"It's as simple as that, the devil's cavalry wing was crushed by us like this." Tiegang Dao, "What, you still don't believe it?" Xiao Gang, bring up the Oriental horses we captured and show them to Battalion Commander He. ”
Tie Xiaogang responded, when dozens of cavalry soldiers brought nearly a hundred Oriental war horses, looking at these Oriental horses with high shoulders and strong bodies and shiny coats, He Guangming and the company commanders all looked straight, yes, just looking at the coat color and luster of these war horses, you know that they are the Oriental horses of the little devils.
"My goodness, the devil's cavalry wing really let you kill you?" He Guangming is still skeptical.
"That's still fake." Tiegang smiled and said proudly, "More than three hundred devil cavalry, there are almost forty or fifty horsemen, and the rest are all cut down by us, if you don't believe it, you can go to the north, at the entrance of Guozhuang Village, which is less than ten miles away, the corpses of the little devils are all placed there." ”
"I don't believe it, I'll have to take a look." He Guangming really didn't believe it, and turned around and was about to leave.
"Alright, Lao He." Xu Rui stopped He Guangming, He Guangming couldn't believe it, but Xu Rui immediately believed it, because in the original time and space, such a real cavalry duel was also staged on the Jizhong Plain.
At that time, the cavalry regiment directly under the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army also used the same tactics to eliminate a cavalry wing of devils, and in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army fought tens of thousands of battles large and small, eliminating millions of devils and puppet troops, but there were few battles like this to form a wing to annihilate devils.
Xu Rui didn't expect it at all, he just inadvertently told Tie Gang about the virtue of the devil cavalry, and the result was in exchange for this big victory of the cavalry battalion!
Now that the devil's cavalry wing has been defeated, and the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment is also trapped on the Mustang Beach, in two hours at most, that is, before dawn, the two and a half infantry wings of the Kawaguchi detachment and the field artillery wing are afraid that they will be reduced to ashes, or they can also choose to jump into the Mei River and die in the belly of the fish.
Now, only the headquarters of Meizhen remains, and there should be an engineer wing of the Kawaguchi detachment, a baggage wing, plus some staff officers and medical personnel, although there are quite a few people, the combat effectiveness is almost negligible, at least for the independent regiment, there is no threat at all.
Now, it's time to reclaim Plum Town and bring this counter-sweep to a successful conclusion.
So Xu Rui left a company of the 3rd Battalion to continue to monitor, in order to ensure that there were no accidents, Xu Rui even left Leng Tiefeng's special combat team, and then personally led three infantry battalions, machine gun companies and cavalry battalions to Meizhen.
Now that the Kawaguchi detachment has become a turtle in an urn, there is no need to hide it anymore.
Two hours later, when the first rays of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky, the Independent Regiment also appeared around Plum Town.
Seeing the Chinese soldiers who suddenly appeared in the morning light, the devils who stayed behind in the headquarters immediately fell into panic.
Can the little devil not be frightened? Before midnight, the detachment commander Heiji Kawaguchi personally led two and a half infantry wings, a cavalry wing and an artillery wing, and mobilized the division to attack in a big way, but instead of eating the Dameishan Independent Regiment, the independent regiment returned to the outside of the headquarters!
Just two hours ago, the headquarters of the detachment that remained in Meizhen received a farewell telegram from the headquarters of the 101st Infantry Wing, which said that the main force of the Kawaguchi Detachment, including the 101st Infantry Wing, was more than 6,000 people.
When I first received the telegram, the devil officer in the headquarters thought it was a joke.
But now that the main force of the independent regiment suddenly appeared outside the headquarters, even idiots knew at this time that the main force of the detachment that must have attacked had met with an accident.
However, what frightens the devil even more is still to come.
After these Chinese soldiers arrived outside the headquarters, they did not rush to attack, but only surrounded them by regiments, and the devils who stayed at the headquarters originally thought that the Chinese soldiers were helpless because of the lack of offensive weapons, but ten minutes later, with the roar of the roaring engine, a Type 95 light tank appeared outside the headquarters.
"Baga, Type 95 light tank?!"
"Baga Yalu, how can the Chinese army have tanks of the imperial army?"
Seeing that Type 95 light tank was approaching violently, the devil soldiers stationed at the gate of the headquarters were dumbfounded in an instant, Apayasu, how can this battle be fought?!
