Chapter 406: Bloodthirsty Cavalry
When Guan Mingsheng hit hundreds of Japanese troops back one after another with heavy fire on the top of the mountain, the soldiers led by Li Liushun made a detour and appeared on the flank of the Japanese army.
"Rush over, first strafe with a submachine gun, then hit with a pistol, and finally show your saber and slash!"
Although Li Liushun has been proficient in horseback technology since he was a child, he is not obsessed with the myth of "invincible cavalry and shooting", and shows great interest and fanaticism in new technologies and new weapons.
"Yes! Squad leader, this saber is not as easy to use as a gun! ”
The young men who are all cavalry are not very interested in cold weapons, and of course they agree with the squad leader's advice.
"Okay, follow me!"
Li Liushun took the lead and rushed to a distance of about 100 meters where the Japanese army had retreated.
At this time, the Japanese army hurriedly retreated under the blows of Guan Mingsheng and others, and they were even more panicked about the sudden appearance of Li Liushun and other nine people.
"Kill the Japanese army with weapons in their hands first!"
The submachine gun in Li Liushun's hand was the first to go off, sweeping down several Japanese soldiers who were holding firearms in their hands and were about to load ammunition to stop the cavalry charge.
The rest of the soldiers understood and opened fire one after another, taking the lead in attacking the Japanese soldiers who had firearms in their hands.
As a result, the Japanese army commander urgently transferred to block the cavalry charge, and all the Japanese troops were knocked to the ground. Suddenly, the retreating Japanese army lost cover and was even more panicked.
The Japanese army, which consisted of only a few hundred people, trampled on each other, and several sturdy Japanese soldiers were trampled to death.
If Hu Zhen was personally present, he would definitely sigh and say: "The so-called elite of the Japanese army armed with the spirit of bushido is nothing more than this without the support of powerful and advanced weapons. ”
However, Li Liushun and others did not have this kind of sigh across time and space, in their minds, the dead Japanese army was the best Japanese army, so they took turns to attack the retreating team of the Japanese army, but in order to wave the advantage of the advanced weapons in their hands, they never approached the range of the Japanese army within 100 meters, but just shot and strafed from a distance, and hit the Japanese army with bullets.
Although the range of the firearm also reached more than 100 meters, it was used to shoot different galloping and running cavalry, which played little role, and often the Japanese army was killed by Li Liushun and others with a shot before they could raise the firearm.
When Li Liushun attacked from the flank, Guan Mingsheng and the four of them also rushed down the hill on horseback and joined the ranks of the Japanese army.
Thirteen cavalry soldiers of the Huaxia Army pursued and killed more than 400 Japanese soldiers, killing extremely happily along the way, and finally killed more than 300 people, and the remaining dozens of people either lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, or scattered and fled.
And none of the thirteen fighters were injured.
It's just that the leg of a war horse was injured by a stray bullet of the Japanese army, although it was not killed in battle, but because of its lameness, it could no longer be a war horse.
This was so angry that Li Liushun and the soldiers almost had fire in their eyes, and searched back and forth all the way, and all the Japanese soldiers who saw that they could still move while panting were killed.
The spirit of the Japanese army was all defeated, and even those who did not die had no fighting spirit to continue fighting, so they could only run to the sea, trying to find even a plank, and float on the sea water to return to their hometown.
Li Liushun therefore changed his strategy again, and ordered the soldiers to ambush them, and now the scattered Japanese troops immediately used guns to kill them with accurate snipers.
This method of fishing with nets was even more astonishing, and in just one afternoon, more than 40 Japanese soldiers were killed.
For two consecutive days, Li Liushun's three classes of thirteen soldiers killed more than 400 Japanese soldiers, in short, the area they were responsible for could no longer see a single Japanese army, and as for the specific accurate data of the annihilation of the Japanese army, Li Liushun and the soldiers were too lazy to count, anyway, each of them killed at least 20 Japanese soldiers, and there was nothing attractive about killing one or two more Japanese soldiers on the statistical report.
A squad of cavalry killed several hundred Japanese troops, while the entire Fourth Cavalry Division, after statistics, killed more than 84,000 Japanese troops, while the Fifth Cavalry Division ran a long way because of a detour, and the time for fighting was less, so the number of enemies destroyed was slightly less, more than 69,000.
These two figures combined amounted to more than 153,000 people, and the cavalry division of 20,000 men killed an average of seven Japanese soldiers per person!
This is a very impressive result.
After the data was reported, most of the officers sitting at the General Staff Headquarters did not believe that this was true, and ordered several airships to be dispatched to conduct rough statistics and take photographs for evidence, but the final statistics were not much different from the data reported by the two cavalry divisions on the destruction of the enemy.
In order to gain the trust of the Hubei army, they sent a transport ship to transport them back to the Japanese country, put down their weapons and pretended to be wounded and sick, but unexpectedly encountered a surprise attack by the Chinese army on Vladivostok, how could there be a good result?
For the Huaxia Army, this was just a convenient result in the raid on Vladivostok.
However, under the blood of more than 100,000 enemies, the newly formed Fourth and Fifth Cavalry Divisions of the Huaxia Army grew up rapidly and became the elite of the cavalry fast mobile troops.
Li Liushun, the outstanding squad leader, was immediately promoted to platoon commander after this battle.
And the recruit Guan Mingsheng was also promoted to deputy company commander, but Guan Mingsheng, who has a very personality, refused to be a deputy platoon commander, he would rather be a squad leader than a deputy, otherwise, he would rather be a soldier.
This incident even alarmed the top of the Huaxia Army, and in the end, it was determined that Guan Mingsheng would be a squad leader first, and then be promoted based on performance, as a result, after a few battles, Guan Mingsheng performed very well and was successfully promoted to the position of company commander, but at this time, his original partner platoon commander Li Liushun had been promoted to company commander, or one level higher than him, but this Guan Mingsheng did a good job indifferently.
Later, this Guan Mingsheng was promoted many times because of his military exploits, but he would rather be demoted than have an official position with a sub-character, and he did a very good job in the position with a straight character.
The other eleven soldiers of the third squad, because of their bloodthirsty combat experience, were all reused by the troops, and were rushed to be the backbone by other newly built cavalry units.
Later, the Huaxia Army garrisoned the Wa Kingdom, as long as the Fourth and Fifth Cavalry Divisions appeared, the Japanese people would not dare to make any moves.
However, these were all things later, and after the 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions had wiped out most of the Japanese troops near Vladivostok, they received a new order to move quickly and carry out the combat mission of the Far Eastern Front of the Hubei Army to intersperse and divide.
