Chapter 36: The Iron Broom

The battle met unexpectedly, and neither Yue Siliang nor the Japanese officer expected to meet each other like this.

When he got up early this morning, Yue Siliang's eyelids began to jump constantly. At first, he just felt that he was too tired lately, so he just led the team to inspect the base area according to the schedule set a few days ago.

But before noon, he suddenly received information from the militia in the villages below: a squadron of the Japanese army set out from Lingqiu County and headed in the direction of Caijiayu.

At first, Yue Siliang was very strange, because if there were Japanese baggage troops passing by, as long as he entered the Lingqiu Realm, he would be confident that he would know. But until now he has not received any relevant information, and it is clear that this group of Japanese troops was not mobilized to escort the baggage troops at all.

After chanting the name Caijiayu for a long time, Yue Siliang finally thought that the purpose of the Japanese army's dispatch this time was Caijiayu Village! They're going to launch a retaliatory attack!

Yue Siliang has never had any illusions about the Japanese army's style of acting. Yue Siliang, who had figured out this, immediately sent a messenger to inform the first battalion stationed in Baiyatai, and at the same time did not hesitate to rush to Caijiayu with Lei Zi and them.

When Yue Siliang and the others arrived at Caijiayu, it had not been long since the Japanese army arrived. The guard squad entered from the mountain pass, which was completely opposite to the Japanese army, but they did not expect that the mountain road sense had just walked halfway before encountering the enemy.

"All have !!"

Without Yue Siliang saying much, Lei Zi let go of his voice and shouted loudly. With a snort, all the warriors adjusted their mounts in unison and raised the flower trap in their hands.

"Offensive !!"

With a shout, a dozen horses rushed out as if they were flying, and galloped along the valley. This kind of charging behavior of the guard squad has completely confused the Japanese army. You must know that this is in the middle of the valley, and there is not enough terrain for cavalry to charge, and charging in such an environment is like a live target.

Of course, this is only a purely tactical idea, and if it is theoretically on paper, the terrain of the valley is not conducive to cavalry charges. But the reality now is that the Japanese troops are suddenly confronted by the guards and have been extremely scattered in the valley because they have to pursue unarmed civilians. There was no preparation at all for the charge of the guard squad.

"Shoot!"

The thunderbolt on the horse was majestic, holding the gun in one hand with the help of the shoulder strap, and dense tongues of fire erupted from the flower trap, and none of the Japanese troops stood in the place they passed.

In fact, leading the charge was by no means Lei Zi's consciousness and blood bravery, he could clearly see at the first glance when he entered the valley, the Japanese troops in the valley were extremely scattered, and there was no heavy equipment with him. For such an enemy, it is best to fight fast and slow!

Although Lei Zi looks like a person with developed limbs and a simple mind on weekdays, Lei Zi is definitely an intuitive person when it comes to battlefield command. After all, after following Yue Siliang for many years, he has been edified enough.

However, speaking of which, they are not according to the traditional cavalry method of warfare at the moment. Traditional cavalrymen wield short cavalry rifles or use sabers for melee slashing. The guard platoon used a short-barreled submachine gun in the horse battle.

The submachine gun is full of firepower, and at the same time, the weight of the gun is also relatively light, and it can be well controlled with one hand with the assistance of the shoulder strap, and with the speed of the fast horse, it can naturally quickly sweep away the enemies in the valley.

"Da Da Da ......"

The locust-like bullets swept through the valley from end to end like an iron broom. The Japanese squadron leader on the mountain was furious when he saw this scene in the valley, but he was also helpless, and the heavy machine guns they brought had not yet been completely set up on the mountain. Busy chasing civilians in the valley before, he never expected to encounter the 424th Regiment so quickly.

In fact, the Japanese commander's idea was not wrong, he had carefully analyzed the reaction speed of the 424th Regiment before leaving, and according to the 424th Regiment's lack of mobility ability, the troops could not quickly arrive here. It's just that he never expected that Yue Siliang would dare to come as fast as he could with these dozen people.

"Light machine gun !!"

A few tens of seconds is not a long time, but it can do a lot of things. By the time the Japanese squadron leader finally reacted to suppress the guard platoon with light machine guns, the guard platoon had already swept from one end of the ditch to the other. When the Japanese raised their light machine guns, the guard squad neighed, turned their horses' heads and retreated like the wind, leaving only one corpse in the valley.

Under this wave of fast attack, the Japanese army lost nearly forty people, and the guard platoon did not suffer any casualties! When they disappeared into the valley, not only the Japanese soldiers on the mountain were stunned, but even Lei Zi and Yue Siliang themselves did not expect it.

Originally, the tactic of using submachine guns to cooperate with horse warfare was only because the range and accuracy of submachine guns were much worse than rifles, and in order to ensure the effectiveness of the shooting of submachine guns, they had to use speed to make up for the combat distance, so they had to make arrangements as a last resort. But now it seems that it has actually produced a miracle effect.

"Blitzkrieg !!"

Such a word suddenly flashed in Yue Siliang's mind, although he himself understood that the "blitzkrieg" he was thinking about was by no means the same as the "blitzkrieg" that appeared at this time in history.

But he felt that the series of attacks and retreats just now might be more suitable for the name Blitzkrieg, coming and going, rushing back and forth, and the wolf cavalry tactics have been given new vitality today through the fusion with the modern weapon of the submachine gun.

"Commander, what a joy I was killed just now!"

Retreating to the other side of the valley, Lei Zi looked excited, and he could say that this kind of battle was the first time he had fought it. The exhilaration, which is really not inhumane. Yue Siliang was more calm, he looked at the horse under his crotch that kept spewing white gas.

"The charge just now consumes too much horsepower......"

After sighing, Yue Siliang jumped off his horse. Then a dozen fighters also jumped down. The enemy in the valley was cleared, but there were more than 100 Japanese troops on the hill and on the other side of the hill. Only a dozen of them and the submachine guns in their hands were not at all the opponents of those hundred people.

If it was only them and the Japanese army present at this moment, Yue Siliang would definitely not say a word, turn his horse's head and lead the team to leave here first. But at this moment, they can't, because there are still all the villagers of Caijiayu in this mountain, if Yue Siliang just leaves, then these villagers will immediately become a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

The villagers were instructed to continue to escape, and the dozen or so members of the guard platoon also settled their horses and stood at the mountain pass waiting for the enemy to arrive, and they wanted to buy more time for the villagers to escape.

"All of them, count the bullets."

Yue Siliang took the lead, and at the same time, he was anxious about Bai Lin, why they had disappeared for a long time.

"Line up!"

The Japanese squadron leader had already led all the Japanese soldiers down to the valley at this moment, and a long line was listed in the valley, and the guns in their hands were approaching the ditch step by step.

"Up the hill!"

Yue Siliang gave an order, and the soldiers stepped on the soil and rocks on both sides, and ran to the hillside crackling, waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army.

"Attack!"

The Japanese squadron leader raised his command knife high, and a group of Japanese soldiers accelerated their pace and rushed to the ditch.

"Da !!"

At the moment when the Japanese army charged, a series of crisp gunshots suddenly rang out behind them.

"Captain, it's a Czech voice!"

The spirit of Lei Zi on the hillside was still in a state of high tension, and he only waited for Yue Siliang's order to pull the trigger. But he didn't expect a strange gunfire to come from behind the Japanese soldiers. Lei Zi knew very well that there was absolutely no Czech type in the Japanese army, and the light machine guns used by the Japanese army were all crooked.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. It seems that Bai Lin and his battalion have arrived. ”

Yue Siliang burst into good spirits and laughed loudly, and as soon as Bai Lin's camp arrived, his heart was confident again. This squadron of the Japanese army today is destined to stay here!
