Chapter 1173: The Decisive Battle of Kaesong (2)

The artillery of the self-propelled artillery battalion is a new type of heavy artillery jointly developed by Germany and the Republic of China, and its firepower is as powerful as the heavy artillery equipped by the main force.

Dozens of heavy artillery guns were fired together, enough for the Japanese army to be frightened, at this time the division commander Koji Yamahashi was already completely panicked, he had fought with the cavalry of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, when did the cavalry be equipped with such a powerful artillery group? It's simply not possible!

The characteristics of the cavalry's flexibility and mobility determine that they cannot be equipped with powerful heavy artillery, and they are basically based on light infantry artillery, so as to ensure the speed advantage of the cavalry?

I only retreated for a day, in such a short period of time, the heavy artillery unit of the Chinese Revolutionary Army could not have arrived here so quickly anyway, from the position of the Chinese Revolutionary Army to here, but it was a full seventy or eighty miles! Unless it is that Xu Huaijin who can pinch and calculate, know five hundred years before and five hundred years later, and then send a large army to ambush in advance, otherwise he will definitely not be able to arrive so fast!

Koji Yamahashi complained bitterly, but the Chinese Revolutionary Army didn't care about the bitterness in his heart, the cavalry continued to divide and surround, and then wantonly killed, and the artillery was in the northwest direction, blocking the back road of the Japanese retreat!

At this time, the Japanese army was completely in disarray, unable to resist the cavalry in close combat, and backward, unable to break through the defense line of the self-propelled artillery battalion in a short period of time, with no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground!

Koji Yamahashi gritted his teeth, and now he has to fight to the death.

Koji Yamahashi shouted: "Order, artillery wing, all the firepower to launch a fierce attack on the artillery position of the Chinese Revolutionary Army in front, and we must open the passage in the shortest possible time!" Order all the heavy machine-gun battalions of the whole army to concentrate on the perimeter, prepare for saturation shooting, and be sure to repel the cavalry to me! ”

The Japanese army is worthy of being a well-trained army, received the order of Koji Yamahashi, and began to resist desperately, many Japanese soldiers even pounced directly on the cavalry, even if the cavalry cut off the heads of the Japanese soldiers, the bayonets in the hands of the Japanese soldiers still stabbed the war horses in front of them!

For a time, under the death battle of the Japanese army, the unscrupulous slaughter of the cavalry was contained.

Zhang Yan, who was in the distance, was shocked and shouted: "Order, all the cavalry concentrate their forces and attack the Japanese heavy machine gun team with all their might, and destroy their heavy weapons first!" The second regiment made a detour to the outside and launched a spinning offensive! ”

The so-called rotary offensive is to rely on the speed advantage of the war horse, running at high speed on the periphery of the Japanese army, attacking the center of the Japanese position layer by layer, and the cavalry marching at high speed is not at all harmed by the Japanese rifle.

The battle circle of the two cavalry divisions continued to shrink, suppressing the strategic space of the Japanese army smaller and smaller.

Koji Yamada anxiously commanded the Japanese army to respond to the battle, praying that the 18th Division could arrive quickly in order to repel the cavalry, only in this way could he escape, I really don't know where the Chinese Revolutionary Army came from so many cavalry, more than 20,000 people, this is the strength of one and a half divisions!

It is not so easy to wait for the 18th Division to come to help, at least, the 18th Division has also fallen into passivity now.

The 18th Division soon received a telegram from Koji Yamahashi asking for urgent support, and after receiving the telegram, the division commander Takamori led five Japanese wings to march rapidly towards the position of the 20th Division, in an attempt to meet the 20th Division.

The army had just marched only four or five miles before it was attacked by the Second Brigade of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and the Second Cavalry Brigade rushed out directly from the oblique spurs, and thousands of cavalry took advantage of their speed to break the Japanese army into three sections in a short period of time, completely disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army.

Taro Taro Taro Ryumori was furious and ordered the army to besiege the second brigade, but unfortunately, as soon as the order was issued, the cavalry brigade suddenly launched a retreat, thousands of troops, in an instant, there was no trace of the hour, where could the Japanese infantry catch up with the galloping cavalry brigade?

Taro Takamori, who was full of resentment, had just reorganized the army and wanted to set off again and go straight to the position of the 20th Division, when the disappeared cavalry brigade rushed out again, and the Japanese troops who had just reorganized the formation were scattered again......

Along the way, the Japanese army was attacked and harassed by cavalry again and again, and in half a day, the Japanese army advanced less than ten miles, and there was nothing to be done.

The Japanese army in the middle of the road was miserable, and wanted to fight a decisive battle with the cavalry, but could not catch up with them, and wanted to get rid of them and march quickly, but they could not run away from them.

In five hours, the Japanese army marched less than five miles, which is still more than ten miles away from the 20th Division, what should I do? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that more than ten miles is enough for them to walk for a day!

Takamori had nothing to do, and Gentaro Kodama was even more anxious at this time, the 20th Division was besieged, and the 18th Division was strongly blocked, and the battlefield was changing too quickly.

The shock in Kodama Gentaro's heart was really indescribable, he didn't know how the Chinese Revolutionary Army could complete such a large-scale military transfer without knowing it, it was too weird!

But no matter how weird it is, now we have to take action, and if we don't act, we will definitely be broken by others!

Kodama Gentaro looked at Watanabe-ichi beside him, and said astringently: "Watanabe-kun, so far, how are we good, this Xu Huaijin is really powerful, it's just unpredictable, no wonder Izumi-kun is jealous of him, we are like children in front of him......"

Watanabe said in a deep voice: "Kodamama-kun, in my opinion, the army besieging the 20th Division now is definitely the army sent by Xu Huaijin in the south, and the speed of the army in the north is definitely not so fast, the cavalry division is besieging Pyongyang City, with the solidity of Pyongyang City, even if it is fast, the cavalry division has just taken Pyongyang City, and it will definitely not be here, then there is only one possibility, it is Xu Huaijin who divided his troops to sneak attack, what we have to do now is to go all out and fight to the death with Xu Huaijin, it doesn't matter if we lose a division, As long as we can kill Xu Huaijin, it will still be our great victory! ”

Kodama Gentaro shook his head and mobilized three divisions to besiege Xu Huaijin, this is not a joke, first, the eighteenth division will take at least half a day to reach here, and then advance forward and fight Xu Huaijin, it will take nearly two days, two days, how much change can occur, no one can predict; Second, if only two divisions participate in the war, in the face of Xu Huaijin, who does not know the truth and truth, it is still very uncertain, at least within a few days, it is difficult to defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army defending the mountain, this Kodama has been taught as early as the Jiawu period, when the Japanese army besieged Xu Huaijin in Shandong, the strength was several times that of Xu Huaijin, and the attack took turns, after several days, it was not able to win.

Now Xu Huaijin wants to have soldiers and generals, and it is even more unrealistic to want to win the battle!
