Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, Who Is the Yellow Sparrow!

The rampant Nozu Daoguan still ordered: "Order two cavalry squadrons, march quickly to catch up with the Qing army in front, be sure to annihilate it, and then camp on the spot, build fortifications on Songyue Mountain, and the other departments, accelerate their advance, wait for Songyue Mountain, rush to repair the fortifications, build a fort, we are condescending, the artillery fire is fierce, but we want to see how Nie Shicheng swallows us in one bite!" ”

The two elite soldiers who have been accompanying the Fifth Division, Nozu Michikan has not been released, afraid of encountering an ambush by the Qing army, resulting in damage to this mobile force, and now, aiming to attract the main force of the Qing army to a decisive battle in Songyue Mountain, Nozu Michikan no longer has any scruples, and ordered the cavalry to attack immediately to annihilate Xu Huaijin's troops who have been patrolling ahead.

It's just that at this moment, Nozu Daoguan has no time to calmly arrange, and at the same time that Nozu Daoguan ordered the cavalry to attack, Zhang Yi led the 3,000 men and horses of the Huai Army inscription battalion and was less than five miles away from the deputy middle battalion.

At this time, Zhang Yi also sensed Nozu Michikan's intentions, sneered secretly, and ordered the cavalry battalion of the inscription battalion to attack quickly, inserted into the flank of the deputy middle battalion, and launched a surprise attack on the flank of the Japanese army at the same time as the Japanese cavalry launched an impact, and worked together with the deputy middle battalion to annihilate the Japanese cavalry, cut off all the mobile forces of the Japanese army, and break the wings of the fifth division!

The Japanese cavalry, led by Captain Koto and Captain Hashimoto, quickly caught up with the deputy middle battalion. Xu Huaijin was confident, looked at the approaching Japanese cavalry, and ordered: "All machine gunners, immediately concentrate, arrange machine gun fire nets, and the rear army will become the front army, defend on the spot, build improvised fortifications, and prepare for battle!" ”

The so-called improvised fortifications are in the middle of the two armies, where the Qing army is sprinkled with tree trunks and stones to delay the impact of the Japanese cavalry charge, and at the same time rely on local materials to rely on rocks and trees to cover each other, and find shelter for defense. In a few minutes, the Japanese cavalry will rush in front of them, and it is simply impossible to give the deputy lieutenant battalion sufficient time to prepare.

The deputy middle battalion is worthy of being a division of a hundred battles, and in just a few minutes, it has completely entered the combat state.

Xu Huaijin saw that the Japanese army had entered the firing range and ordered: "Machine gunner, fire!" ”

The six Green guns in front of the deputy middle battalion were instantly full of firepower, completely blocking the road ahead, and the Japanese cavalry looked at the chase in front of them, and suddenly found that the rocks and tree trunks were covered with official roads, and then it was even more difficult to charge like before, but the Qing army was in front of them, and they were bound to ride tigers, and they could not do it if they didn't fight, and they were also tasked with defeating the Qing army and immediately retreating to Songyue Mountain to build fortifications.

Koto Shaoza yelled: "Sass give! ”

The Japanese cavalry howled and launched a ferocious charge, and in an instant rushed into the fire network of the Gelqin heavy machine gun, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Japanese cavalry, along with their war horses, were strafed down, and then the Japanese cavalry behind them were turned into pulp......

However, the ferocity of the Japanese cavalry was also completely stimulated, and they no longer ignored the roadblocks on the road, and rushed towards the deputy middle camp more quickly.

Xu Huaijin looked at the Japanese soldiers who were constantly falling off their horses and the cavalry who were already rushing in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect that the Japanese cavalry was so fierce! Now that it is only 100 meters away from the position of the deputy middle battalion, it is about to rush up in a blink of an eye, Xu Huaijin decisively ordered: "The heavy machine guns move to both sides of the position, and build crossfire at the left and right ends!" Infantry, get on the bayonet and get ready for a white-knuckle battle! ”

The heavy machine gun sentry at the front of the position immediately moved to both sides, exposing the infantry of the deputy middle battalion behind, the Qing soldiers raised their rifles obliquely, and the bright bayonets had been hit, and a tragic atmosphere rose in the barracks, and the deputy middle battalion never gave up!

At this moment, a neighing sound sounded, and the cavalry battalion of the inscription battalion rushed out of the oblique stab, and Zhao Sheng, the cavalry battalion manager, was also a tiger general under Liu Mingchuan back then. This is the first battle of the inscription battalion into the DPRK, and it must not discredit and disgrace the old Futai lord!

The cavalry battalion roared straight to the Japanese cavalry, and now the Japanese cavalry has just broken through the heavy machine gun fire network of the Qing army, and the casualties are not small, and they just want to continue to charge, but before the charge is launched, the Qing army rushed over obliquely, and in a hurry, the Japanese cavalry was instantly cut down twenty or thirty people, and the two cavalry were mixed together.

Although the Japanese army was elite, but after a period of impact, the morale had dropped somewhat, and it was suddenly attacked. The heads, stumps and severed arms of the Japanese soldiers flew in the air, and gradually they could not support the offensive of the Qing cavalry.

Xu Huaijin shouted: "Infantry forward, close to the cavalry, aim and shoot, try to minimize accidental injuries!" ”

The infantry of the deputy battalion stepped forward, while advancing, while shooting, at this moment Zhang Yi's training effect was revealed, although the previous deputy battalion was brave, but it was not very good at gunfights, peacetime engagement, indiscriminate shooting, it was difficult to ensure the crosshairs, and a lot of bullets were consumed, after Zhang Yi and the blue wolf's training, these people learned how to conduct gunfights, although they could not be called sharpshooters, but the accuracy improved a lot, and it was a close-range shooting, which caused great trouble to the Japanese cavalry. In the white-knuckle battle, you have to guard against the shooting of the Qing army behind you, how can this be supported?

Xiao Teng Shaozuo was also shot in the shoulder, and at the same time his thigh was cut by the Qing army of the inscription battalion, dripping with blood, seeing that the momentum was not good, Xiao Teng yelled: "Retreat!" Back off! ”

The Japanese army could no longer care about the war, and jumped out of the battle group one after another and retreated to the rear!

Zhao Sheng bit the Japanese cavalry and let his horse pursue. After chasing for more than ten miles, he saw the arrival of the main force of the Fifth Division from a distance before withdrawing his troops.

Xiao Teng Shaozuo reorganized the men and horses, counted the casualties, two complete cavalry squadrons, more than 300 people, and now only more than 100 people under him, more than half of the dead and wounded, and there was a wail.

Nozu Kanmichi, who was chasing after him, saw the miserable appearance of the cavalry, jumped like thunder, whipped the horsewhip fiercely at Koto and Hashimoto, and scolded: "Yaga, waste! Let you chase a Qing army of several hundred people, you actually let the people fight with their heads and rats, and suffer heavy casualties! You damned people, you should apologize! ”

Xiao Teng and the two didn't dare to dodge, silently endured the anger of Nozu Daoguan, and said: "Your Excellency General, we have already caught up with the Qing army in front, and are preparing to encircle and annihilate the headquarters, who wants to stab a Qing cavalry in the oblique rush over, a complete cavalry battalion, three or four hundred people, will break up our formation at once, surrounded by its infantry and strange soldiers, the impact advantage of the cavalry is gone, and many imperial soldiers are shot on the avenue!" ”

Nozu Dao's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Go to Songyue Mountain, immediately build fortifications, and we will fight to the death with the Qing army!" ”
