Looking at the steam steam rifle and the panicked soldiers, Guo Zhen knew that he would definitely not be able to withstand the second round of Cossack shock. The guns need to be cooled, the soldiers need to breathe, and the ammunition is slightly insufficient, even if a company of infantry has a preset position, it is difficult to block the impact of more than a thousand cavalry. The second squad leader was still lying outside like a corpse, occasionally moving his head, proving that they were still alive, but Guo Zhen had no way to save them.

The hooves of the Cossack cavalry were slowly approaching, and their second wave of offensive had begun, and in less than two minutes they would be rushing into the trenches. But before the Cossack cavalry could run, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling in the wilderness was heard, which was the sound of ten thousand horses galloping. Guo Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, the soldiers began to tremble, and many people had begun to look behind them. However, in addition to the restlessness of the Manchurian army, the Cossack cavalry also experienced considerable fluctuations, and even their horses began to become restless.

"Deputy battalion commander, the reinforcements of the Russian army have arrived, what should we do?" The soldiers are now early in the pride and ambition they had when they joined the army, and they especially hope that Guo Zhen can order a retreat.

"The sound of horses' hooves seems to be behind you!" The significance of this position is not very significant, Guo Zhen has already informed the friendly forces, and resisted a wave of offensive by the Russian army, buying time for the brother troops, there is indeed no point in holding on, Guo Zhen almost ordered the big guys to lay blocking fire, and then abandon the position and retreat. But after listening carefully, Guo Zhen found it a little strange, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves seemed to come from behind him.

"We're surrounded?" The combat quality of the first squad leader is good, and the data of various assessments are also very good, but the psychological quality is too poor. After he shouted loudly, everyone's hearts were not very stable, and even several platoon commanders panicked.

"The third and fourth squads turned, and arranged defensive firepower to the rear!" The second platoon commander even directly demanded that the troops be divided to defend against the enemy from the rear.

"Bastard! Panic what! Guo Zhendu was so angry that he raised his hand and gave the blind second platoon leader a mouthful.

"We have four regiments behind us and on our flanks, how could the enemy's brigade of cavalry run behind us without noticing? Do we have no cavalry ourselves? Guo Zhen originally wanted to find something to scold a few daredevils, but by scolding people, he also filtered his thoughts.

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived!" Now the army's mind is stable, and the first squad leader who is talking blindly and the second platoon commander who was beaten all cheered with the soldiers.

"Don't yell and roar, hurry up and replenish ammunition, organize weapons, and be ready to cooperate with the attack at any time to get the second squad leader and the four of them back for Lao Tzu!" Guo Zhen could already see the shadow of the cavalry behind him, and he was already happy to show his back molars, but he was still stable and stopped the soldiers from getting carried away.

Under the banner of the Eight Stars and the Japanese, two teams of Manchurian cavalry of about 500 people appeared on the two flanks of Guo Zhen's position. The pace of the Cossack cavalry's attack was also disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Manchurian cavalry, and they shrank their formation, changing from a multi-point formation of shock positions to an acute angle of shock formation to deal with cavalry. But they were slowly retreating, as if they wanted to get out of the fight, and they left. The Cossacks also had their own experience, the Manchurian cavalry rarely launched a cold-armed charge, they were only good at maneuvering and pursuing, and then there was the defense of the position. Now that the Manchurian reinforcements have arrived, their own attack is destined not to be forgotten, and it is better to move away early.

"I'll go, how did I draw my sword!" Guo Zhen and the others also felt that this was almost the case, but they suddenly found that the cavalry not far away suddenly pulled out their sabers unusually.

"Deputy battalion commander, it's not quite right! The horses of these men are Manchurian horses, but the equipment and sabers are not the standard equipment of the cavalry! "The second platoon commander is still a little nervous, these reinforcements are not the same as expected.

"Damn, it's the Japanese army! They're fucking undeeming! Guo Zhen took a closer look and understood what was going on.

In this battle against Russia, the Manchurian Army dispatched a large number of cavalry, but it was mainly concentrated in the Mongolian army group in Bozhtu, and the other divisions did not have large-scale independent cavalry. Naturally, the Northern Army Group did not have an independent cavalry, and the cavalry that fought with the infantry was also a cavalry regiment belonging to a division, a cavalry company belonging to a regiment, and the like. However, after the war began, each cluster replenished part of its troops, and these additional troops were not the main force of the Manchurian Army, but all cannon fodder troops from Japan. The equipment of these units is Japanese-style, the personnel are Japanese, and the training methods and organizational structure are all Japanese-style, and it has always been a mystery how effective these troops are. Guoxinga's original intention was to let these people fight tough battles and send them to death, but the clusters were very cautious when using these people, for fear that these guys would not be able to fight well and drag everyone back.

Today, Guo Zhen and the others were able to encounter a Japanese cavalry unit entirely because of a last resort. Before Guo Zhen reported encountering the Cossack cavalry, the presence of Russian troops was discovered by several rear guard units on the southern defensive line of Army Group North. At first, Ji Ying thought it was a small group of stragglers of the Russian army who had escaped before, but with the overall summary of intelligence, Ji Ying understood that he had encountered a problem of no less than 200,000. Army Group North immediately imposed martial law, and all the cavalry under its command were dispatched to search for the enemy's traces. The cavalry was dispatched, and a regiment commander found that a company under his command was in an emergency, and they also encountered the Russian army, but they did not arrange any reinforcements. The infantry reinforcements were too late, and his own cavalry was not there, so the regimental commander found a new batch of miscellaneous servants and sent them out.

The intention of sending them here was nothing more than to stabilize the morale of the army, temporarily hold the defensive line, and wait for the main force to return for reinforcements, but the regiment commander did not assign them any combat missions. The effect of these people on the battlefield was also very good, they did not use their hands at all, and they were already frightened into the Cossack cavalry to retreat. It seemed like a good option for everyone to quietly watch the Cossack cavalry leave, and then annihilate them by the main force, but unfortunately the commander of the Japanese cavalry did not think so. The young Akiyama Yokokosa always had a dream of becoming a famous general, but his main achievement was surrender, and in order to realize his dream, he decided to give it a go today.

In the year of the destruction of Goko, Akiyama Yoshiko was just eighteen years old, and he participated in that desperate war as a cadet soldier. From Tokyo to Kyoto, the Japanese army was defeated again and again, and the lucky Akiyama Yoshiko was promoted to the rank of cavalry squadron leader instead. It's a pity that the Japanese cavalry at that time has long been useless and has become a group of poor insects trapped in the Kyoto defense line. And even if he could go out and kill, Akiyama would never do such a stupid thing. For the Japanese cavalry at that time, Akiyama Yoshiko had a very pessimistic feeling, he felt that compared with the Manchurian cavalry, the Japanese cavalry was very much like a monkey riding a rabbit.

After Saigo Takamori committed suicide, Akiyama Yoshiko did not serve Meiji, but surrendered to the Manchurian army with the Great Stream and became a subject of Emperor Heisei. And because at the time of surrender, the troops were tightly organized, and the young Akiyama Yoshiko also won the favor of the new regime. His unit was incorporated into the 6th Division, and became the core backbone of the 6th Division, and he himself was promoted to the rank of junior lieutenant, and at the same time received the opportunity to study at the Higher Military Academy. Akiyama Yoshiko, who loves to gallop on horseback, once again chose the cavalry department at the Tokyo Army University, and after graduation, he had his own cavalry brigade in Sendai. It can be said that Akiyama is full of ambition, but he is not very happy, his cavalry is not ideal, and his famous generals are still very far away.

"You really look like kids riding dirt dogs!" Five years ago, after the Manchurian Army's autumn drill on the Dongjiang River, a joke by a Manchurian cavalry major deeply pierced the fragile little heart of Akiyama.

The horses that the Japanese cavalry had been equipped with before were Kiso horses native to Japan, and they were only a little more than 1.2 meters tall, which was indeed very much like a big dog compared to the Manchurian horses of 1.6 to 1.8 meters. Needless to say, the Japanese cavalry hovered between 1.4 and 1.6 meters tall, and the Akiyama Kokoto, who was a little more than 1.7 meters tall, was considered particularly tall. The height of the Manchurian cavalry was generally more than 1.75 meters, and the shortest was over 1.7 meters. Together, the Japanese cavalry was a lot shorter than others, and it was indeed very much like a child riding a big dog.

People are sure that this is the case, and Akiyama has no way to make people grow, so he can only find a way from the horses. The young Akiyama is very old-looking, and he is still very good-looking, so there are many women in Japan who love him, so he took advantage of this opportunity to blend into the upper circle of Tokyo. After several twists and turns to get acquainted with Asano Sohide and others, Akiyama Yoshiko finally got the war horse he dreamed of, and it was more than 2,000 Manchurian horses at once. Akiyama Yoshiko used these horses to pull up his cavalry wing of the Sixth Division, and combined with the tactics he had explored day and night drills, he won the honorary title of Japan's first iron cavalry for his troops. However, this title only has a little influence in Japan, and when it enters Manchuria itself, no one recognizes them at all. After Guo Zhen found out that the reinforcements were Japanese soldiers, his first reaction was to worry that they would be exposed.

Akiyama Yoshiko drew his samurai* sword, but he did not give the order to attack, he waited for the artillery support promised to him by the commander of the Manchurian army. The Cossack cavalry did not care about this, so they did not want to continue to entangle when reinforcements arrived, and after ensuring a safe distance, they quickly turned their horses and ran away.

The fierce artillery fire of the "boom boom boom ......" suddenly hit like a shower, and the horse team of the Cossack cavalry was instantly blown to pieces, the organization was scattered, and the personnel suffered heavy casualties.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live His Excellency the Great General......" Akiyama Yoshiko raised his samurai* sword, he was ready to charge on a prancing horse, but someone rushed ahead of him, and more than three thousand real Manchurian cavalry rushed into the ranks of the Cossack cavalry.
