Chapter 316: The Death of Ito Masaki

The sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, and Sun Yumin was getting more and more nervous, he didn't want to hear the neighing of the horses in the gallop, and he didn't want to hear the gagging Japanese babble.

Not everything could go his way, and in his anxious mood, in his helplessness, the horse team panting and stepping on random steps finally appeared on the road.

In the hazy weather, the dazzling red in the small plaster flag on the muzzle of the devil's horse pistol was particularly dazzling.

The speed of the devil cavalry is very fast, and there are quite a few of them, from the first few horses appearing in everyone's sight, to now less than two hundred meters away from the temporary position, this wave of cavalry has not seen the tail.

There must be at least a brigade of devils, Sun Yumin was already helpless, and his mood fell to the bottom at the moment, but he was not discouraged because of this, the 38 big cover was held in his hand, the gap, the front sight, and the horse's head, these three points became a straight line in his right eye, without hesitation and hesitation, he pressed down the trigger heavily, and the extremely penetrating Tomosaka rifle bullet spun out from the muzzle of the gun, and shot into the head of the head horse at a speed that could not be distinguished by the naked eye. At the same time as the gunfire rang out, the head horse that was shot fell to the ground, and the cavalry on horseback flew out directly, and then fell heavily to the ground, the horse ran too fast, and this fall was naturally not light, and it was basically impossible for this cavalry to get up for a while and a half.

The reason why Sun Yumin shot at the horse, not the cavalry on horseback, was very simple, that is, he didn't want to be broken through his temporary position by the galloping horse, and the horse corpse could also trip over the horse team that followed behind.

Sure enough, he calculated very accurately, the horses behind him followed too closely, and stumbled seven or eight horses at once, and fell together with the cavalry, although the rear avoided these wrestling horses and cavalry, but since Sun Yumin fired the first shot, the heavy machine guns of the three and four companies and the three eight big covers began to shoot, and the bullets like a torrential rain tended to the devil cavalry who had slowed down.

If there was no main force of devils behind these devil cavalry, or Sun Yumin did not know that these cavalry were followed by the main force of devils, he would definitely not be willing to shoot these horses, you must know that in the twentieth division, Sun Yumin wanted to form a cavalry, but until after the bloody battle of Lanfeng, he had no chance to fulfill this wish. At this moment, although he is very reluctant to shoot these horses, he will definitely choose to shoot these horses compared to the lives of the warriors.

After all, it was shot from two hundred away, and although it was sudden, the damage caused to the devil cavalry was not too great. And the devil cavalry, after being taken by surprise and after a brief panic, quickly came to their senses, and all the horses had stopped, and even retreated some distance, and after confirming that they were out of range of the Chinese army, they all stopped.

This is the devil commander thinking about tactics, maybe the self-confidence of the devil cavalry is too inflated, or they think that if they shoot so far, the Chinese army on the opposite side must be afraid, and it didn't take long for the devil cavalry to move. First, a horse turned around and ran back, which was sent by the devil commander to report the news, and then a group of devil cavalry on the left side hung their pistols flat on their shoulders, which was a signal to attack, and the horse pistols were hung flat to facilitate shooting.

The Japanese carbine is actually a copy of the 38 big cover, which can only be single-shot, unlike the U.S. and German carbines, which have already achieved semi-automatic, that is to say, this kind of carbine shoots a bullet and needs to be re-loaded and loaded, although this is not a difficult action for a cavalry, but obviously every cavalry is unwilling to do this action, so the devil cavalry will hang the carbine on the shoulder, just want to finish the bullet in the gun, so that they can quickly pull out the saber and continue to impact.

Although Sun Yumin didn't understand these habits of the devil, he could see from the telescope that the devil pulled the horse's head and the carbine on his body began to hang horizontally, he also guessed that the devil was planning to storm the position.

Little devil, this is your own death, and Uncle Hugh blames you for sending you to see Lord Yama. Sun Yumin secretly scolded in his heart, although he had never commanded cavalry to fight, nor had he ever defended against cavalry, but he knew that using cavalry to charge the position, even if it was an improvised position, was also looking for death, he couldn't understand how the devils came from such confidence, not to mention how strong the combat effectiveness of a regiment was, just pull a national army unit to defend it, these devil cavalry can't pick up good fruits to eat.

Sun Yumin's idea is very correct, the advantage of cavalry is high mobility, and it can play the most role in the pursuit battle, although it can shine occasionally in positional warfare, but it is by no means a strong charge at the beginning, but after the defenders are tired and tired, a surprise attack can take the position, like now, directly use the cavalry to charge, which is simply too eye-catching.

"Too arrogant, aren't you, are you here to die?" Deng Dongping also saw this scene in the telescope, and he didn't understand it.

"It's good to come all together." Sun Yumin said: "If it weren't for the fear of being caught up by the cavalry, I wouldn't want to defend here." Besides, if they don't charge, we really have nothing to do with them, as long as we drag it on, we will definitely suffer. ”

"Why do you say that?" Deng Dongping obviously didn't understand Sun Yumin's words, so he asked.

"Do you think we can defend against the devil tank with a position like ours? With our manpower, can we defend against troops above the Devil Brigade? Sun Yumin did not answer him, but asked two questions.

Deng Dongping understood as soon as he heard it, why the boss had to give up the position he had worked so hard to establish as soon as he came back; He also understood why Sun Yumin said that as long as it dragged on, it was his own side that suffered. As long as these devil cavalry are out of range, when the tanks come, the defenders will not be able to resist at all. Fortunately, the commander of the devil's cavalry was too arrogant and dared to attack with cavalry with great fanfare. If it is a calm devil officer, there is really no good way on his side.

"Hit it closer this time." Sun Yumin was determined to lure the devil cavalry, if they were not eliminated, it would really be too much of a hidden danger for the first group.

"We're all waiting for you to shoot." Deng Dongping responded, Sun Yumin's words were not an order, but a consultative tone talking to him, as for the order, it had already reached everyone's ears before, with Sun Yumin's gunfire and shouting as an order, the shooting was three and four consecutive shots, and the shouting was four companies fighting together, and there was no need to toss it again.

Nearly 100 ghost cavalry with horse pistols on their shoulders, running towards the position at a rapid pace, as before, Sun Yumin's gun was aimed at the horse's head again, not only him, but also the surrounding soldiers also followed suit, and they all aimed at the horse's head, and did not take into account the devil cavalry, because they also found that "shooting people first shoot horses, capture thieves first capture kings" is not an empty phrase.

…………

After the 101st Division retreated from Xiushui, it was originally a horn with the 106th Division, but Okamura Ninji ordered the 106th Division to be transferred, which made the commander of the 101st Division, Ito Masaki, very angry, and had no choice but to lead his troops to take over the defense area of the 106th Division of Nakai Ryotaro. In fact, Ito Masaki is very clear that in this battle of northern Jiangxi, although the 106th Division suffered very large losses, after all, the main attack was them, but it was temporarily subordinate to them, and the losses of the 101st Division that assisted them in the battle were not small, first the 102nd Brigade was almost wiped out, and even the brigade commander of Major General Yoshio Kudo was shattered, if it weren't for the cavalry 101 Brigade Captain Oshima Hisada Osa led the cavalry to rescue each other desperately, most of the soldiers of the 103 Wing and the wing commander Tanigawa Kozo Osa were rescued, By the way, he also rescued Kotaro Fukui, the commander of the 157th Infantry Wing, who had almost lost everything, and the 102nd Brigade almost lost its combat effectiveness and was forced to withdraw from the front-line battlefield. Without the 102 Brigade, the 101st Division is left with a single brigade division under the 101st Wing and the 149th Wing of the 101st Brigade, and the 101st Division, which is not strong in combat effectiveness, is now greatly discounted, but fortunately, the establishment has not yet dispersed, and the 101st Cavalry Brigade Captain Oshima Hisataka Osa, the Wing Commander of the 101st Field Artillery Wing Yamada Hidenosuke Nakasa, the Wing Commander of the 101st Engineer Wing Yasumi Kinzaburo Nakasa, the Wing Commander of the 101st Light and Heavy Infantry Katsuo Torikai Nakasa, the Signal Team, The health team is still sound, especially the armored squadron in hand, and the six Type 94 tanks are the capital he relies on the most.

The Japanese army had a very strict sense of hierarchy, even the noble lieutenant general Ito Masaki, although he was reluctant to take over the Nakai Division to defend Wuning, after all, this was the front line, but he still followed the instructions of the 11th Army to replace the 106th Division. But he didn't expect that before he arrived in Wuning, he received a telegram notice from Nakai, they had already left first, except for a brigade left behind waiting for the 101st Division to change the guard, and the headquarters had already set off at the same time, which made Ito Masashi so angry that he was annoyed and suddenly reported, the vanguard found the Chinese soldiers, eliminated a few, ran a few and captured one alive.

This was good news, and Ito, who had been lonely in every way, was suddenly in the mood to personally interrogate the Chinese soldiers who had been captured alive.

The deserter of the first company, Xizi, was covered in blood, his nose was blue and his face was swollen and he was tied up with five flowers, this was the result of violent resistance, and it is estimated that if it wasn't for the devil who wanted to catch him alive, he would definitely have died.

"Yours, which unit is working?" Ito asked in half-baked Chinese, the look on his face that made Kiko suddenly a little frightened, and a chill from his heels rushed to her scalp.

Xizi originally joined the army to mix the two military rings to feed the blind old lady, but who would have thought that it would be supplemented into Sun Yumin's troops, and it would be forgotten if he came, but he didn't expect that he would go to Anhui with them after only two days, how could this work? If she left like this, the old mother would have to starve to death. He was looking for an opportunity to escape all the way, but he never thought that the company commander Huang Wei was very strict, and he never had a chance, so he finally slipped out with others, but he was unlucky, and he hit the muzzle of the devil's gun, and was killed on the spot. He was originally a bloody young man, how could he be caught, after some fighting, although he injured two or three devils, but after all, he was outnumbered, and he was captured by the devils, and he was injured.

I didn't feel scared before, but after seeing Ito Masaki at this moment, I suddenly felt a little more afraid, although he was not afraid of death, but in a blink of an eye, he suddenly thought of his blind mother, if he died like this, what would she do? Xizi is a filial son, he can not think about anything himself, but he has to think about the old mother, as soon as he thinks that she is about to be lonely and helpless, Xizi suddenly burst into tears, fell to her knees on the ground, and kept begging for mercy: "Taijun, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm just a deserter, I'm still a recruit, I don't know anything, and I've never been on the battlefield, please don't kill me." ”

Masaki Ito could understand simple Chinese conversations, but like this large passage that Kiko said, he half-understood, his eyes glanced to his side, and the interpreter told him Kiko's words as they were.

After some inquiry, Ito Masaki was ecstatic, he didn't expect that the blind cat would meet a dead mouse, and he would actually find the culprit who caused the rout of the 102nd Brigade in his occupied area, and immediately ordered the troops to pursue Sun Yumin's department.

Huang Wei and the platoon he led gave up to block, gave a warning, as a lieutenant general division commander, he naturally knew that these Chinese soldiers who were wiped out wanted to fight to the death, to report to their superiors, he admired these soldiers at the same time, did not forget to pursue Sun Yumin and his troops, sent one of the trump cards in his hand, the 101st Cavalry Brigade, under the leadership of the captain Oshima Hisadada, to bite the Chinese army marching on foot, he personally led the rest of the 101st Division, including the chariot squadron, followed behind.

Dealing with a lone deep Chinese army, Ito Masaki's deployment is completely feasible, if nothing else, Sun Yumin and his troops will definitely be eaten to the bones, but he didn't expect that before he arrived, Oshima Hisada led the cavalry to attack, hearing the gunfire in front of him, he was both angry and anxious, and hurriedly urged the troops to speed up and go to support, but who would have expected that before approaching the place of battle, suddenly there was the sound of countless shells breaking through the air in the sky, and several of these sounds were very familiar, It is the sound of canisters and 80mm mortars used by the Imperial Army, and the sound of 82mm mortar shells used by the Chinese Army.

This sudden situation confused Ito Masaaki, wasn't it just a lone soldier of the national army of less than 1,000 people? How can there be so many cannons? Could it be that this is a trap set by the Chinese army for itself? He regretted it a little now, regretting that he should not have listened to the Chinese soldier, and that he should not have stabbed him to death after the Chinese soldier had explained the situation, and ended up trapping himself and his own troops.

The cannonball is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the target of the cannonball is the place where he is, Ito Masaki can almost see countless black shadows coming towards him, he is stupid, he stays, years of pampering, almost made him lose his basic battlefield skills, fortunately, the staff officers and translators around him pushed him down, and overwhelmed him, but this did not help. Ito Masakaki no longer had the good luck of last year, during the battle of Wanjialing, he was hit in the thigh by the king of the country, Keihisa, but he was lucky to escape, although he was crushed under him this time, but there were too many shells and grenades exploding around him, and the staff and translator could not stop all the shrapnel, and finally a fragment of revenge hit his temple, bringing this evil demon full of evil and unforgivable sins back to his most revered Amaterasu.
