Not to mention, the contest between Tang Keqiang's first battalion and the first division of the Japanese army.

The Japanese cavalry wing had not just rushed out of Zinan Mountain, when they heard several loud noises on the mountain peak, and saw countless boulders and rolling logs rolling down from the distant mountain, blocking the mountain road entirely.

Akiyama Yoshiko, who led the team, heard the movement behind him and looked back, and gasped, the enemy army actually completely blocked this place with boulders and rolling logs, cutting off his connection with the main force! This terrain is high all around, and the middle is low-lying, which is the most unfavorable for the cavalry to deploy, once the enemy army is ambushed again, but there is its own suffering! We must get out of this depression as soon as possible!

Akiyama Haogu shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, advance quickly, don't care about the main force in the rear, and rush out of this depression first!" ”

Akiyama's choice can be said to reflect the vision of a professional soldier, which is very vicious. It's a pity that the Qing army will not give them such a chance, and the cavalry wing of Akiyama has not yet charged, and on the slopes on the left and right sides, the barrels of dozens of Gelqin heavy machine guns are revealed.

It was the famous Wu Peifu who was ambushed here, Wu Peifu waved his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”

Dozens of machine guns, spitting tongues of fire, fired frantically at the Japanese cavalry wing.

More than 1,000 people of the cavalry wing, including horses, were nested on this depression, and dozens of Japanese soldiers were shot off their horses in an instant.

Akiyama was shocked, this is not a good place to start a battle, but the Qing army's tongue of fire is spewing out, there are thirty heavy machine guns, if his cavalry wing is forced to pass, at least more than a third of the troops will be buried here, and even if he passes through this area, what kind of traps are waiting for him behind, but it is not necessarily.

Akiyama shouted: "Everyone dismount, look for cover, and fight back!" The first squadron, organize the men and horses, and take the opposite peak! ”

The Japanese cavalry had no choice but to dismount and fight, driving the horses to the rear and engaging in a fierce battle here.

It's just that the characteristics of the cavalry wing are that they come and go like the wind, and they are good at lightning assault attacks, so they are good at using long and short, and the consequences can be imagined, although there are not many Qing troops here, but the Qing army chokes the high ground on both sides and uses heavy machine guns to blockade it, and more than 1,000 Japanese infantry, without heavy weapons, can not rush through at all.

In just a quarter of an hour, an earth-shattering explosion came from the direction of Zinan Mountain, which was only a dozen miles away from Zinan Mountain, and the sound of nearly 2,000 mines exploding together was absolutely earth-shattering.

It seems that this time the Qing army is prepared, and it is definitely the strategic deployment of the Japanese army that has leaked out, otherwise it is impossible to carry out such a precise ambush here, I am afraid that this time the commander will be in vain.

Akiyama has been on the battlefield for a long time, and just by relying on the explosion just now, he knew that this time the Japanese army would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Akiyama shouted angrily: "Everyone, lead the horse to avoid the enemy's fire as much as possible, quickly retreat to the original road, and join the main force behind!" ”

Akiyama knows that time is pressing, and now the best strategy is to hurry up with the main force to avoid going deep alone, such a small obstacle, only ten minutes may be able to let the cavalry wing pass, as long as this obstacle is passed, and the main force converges, then there is still hope for this battle to turn around!

The Japanese cavalry wing quickly moved into action, began to lead the horses, and retreated.

Wu Peifu on the mountain really saw it and knew that his task was completed, and it was time for Bagen to play.

Wu Peifu ordered the heavy machine gun to stop firing, pulled out the signal gun, and fired the signal with a bang.

Bagen, who was not far away, was already waiting in a hurry, and when he saw Wu Peifu launching the signal flare, he shouted: "Brothers, get on your horse and charge, this time you must leave all the Japanese troops here!" ”

Four cavalry battalions, more than a thousand people, flew on their horses and charged towards the Japanese cavalry wing.

At a distance of two or three miles, under the cavalry charge, in the blink of an eye, the Japanese cavalry wing was in front of it.

Akiyama Yoshiko saw that the Qing army on the mountain had stopped suppressing the firepower, and he was overjoyed in his heart, urging his cavalry to retreat.

The cavalry wing had just reorganized its men and horses, and before it had time to withdraw to the edge of the obstacle, the cavalry battalion of the Qing army was killed.

At such a short distance, Akiyama Haogu didn't have time to react at all, he saw the Japanese army rushing over, and saw the Qing army cavalry rushing forward, Akiyama Haogu's face suddenly turned pale, his own cavalry was still under the horse, even if he got on the horse, it was too late to charge and fight, without impact, how could his cavalry wing block the cavalry battalion of the Qing army.

Akiyama Yoshigu shouted: "The first brigade is on the horse, and I will entangle the cavalry of the Qing army to the death, and the other brigades will immediately retreat and speed up!" ”

The Japanese cavalry wing under the training of Akiyama Yoshiko, is indeed brave and good at fighting, military discipline is strict, Akiyama Yoshiko's order has just been issued, the cavalry of the first brigade, quickly mounted their horses, crossed into more than a dozen rows on the mountain road, and stopped in the middle of the main force of the cavalry and cavalry wing of the Qing army.

However, can it stop the cavalry of the Qing army?

The answer is no, the Qing cavalry that charged up, like a torrent of steel, was wrapped in a huge impact and crashed straight into the Japanese cavalry.

Today's Japanese cavalry brigade is more like a meat wall, losing its impact, its combat effectiveness has dropped by more than two-thirds, and it is still facing several times the Qing cavalry, just one face, hundreds of Japanese cavalry were chopped into pulp, although the Japanese army is not afraid of death, still can not stop the impact of the Qing cavalry.

The Japanese troops in front of the Japanese army fought desperately, and the Japanese troops in the rear desperately tried to quickly pass through this obstacle.

The two sides engaged in a life-and-death struggle in this small area, and in less than twenty minutes, the Japanese cavalry wing threw down hundreds of corpses here.

The remaining cavalry wing retreated to the north of the obstacle in a panic, only to see a cavalry wing of more than 1,000 people, only about 300 people remained, and more than 200 people were still fighting in one place in the cavalry battalion of the Qing army, and it was impossible to withdraw.

Akiyama looked sad, the cavalry wing that he had worked so hard to train was all buried here, unwillingly.

If we don't retreat quickly, I'm afraid that these 300 people will also be thrown here.

Akiyama looked at the cavalry on the opposite side who was still fighting to the death, his heart was dripping blood, and finally roared: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”
