The patrol unit of a small squad of Japanese troops was wiped out by the cavalry battalion in the blink of an eye, and at this time, the Japanese troops occupying two small heights in the hilly area, the fire blocking position composed of more than 50 devils, taking advantage of the location, set up three light machine guns to constantly strafe the cavalry battalion that pounced.

The war horses that rushed in front either fell to the ground when their horses were hit by bullets, or the soldiers were shot and fell off their horses, and the cavalry battalion's attack was temporarily blocked.

In order to reduce the casualties of the cavalry troops, Ma Ming decisively ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle, quickly retreated back, hid behind the hills three hundred meters away, and waited for the opportunity to attack again.

The deputy captain of the Japanese patrol squad responsible for blocking the cavalry battalion, seeing the cavalry battalion of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army that was blocked by fire, retreated quickly, this arrogant and cautious guy laughed and ordered a Cao commander beside him: "You immediately return to the artillery position, report to the artillery squadron leader the direction where the Tu Eighth Route Cavalry Battalion is hidden, indicate the coordinates, and ask the artillery squadron leader of the Imperial Japanese Army to fire artillery to eliminate this Tu Eighth Route Cavalry." ”

The devil Cao Chang once again visually inspected the coordinates of the hilly section where the cavalry battalion was hidden, and quickly left the position, like a rabbit coming down the mountain, frantically rushing towards the artillery position set up on the Wufu Highway under the hills.

The commander of the Japanese artillery squadron received a report from the devil Cao Chang, and in response to the coordinates of the cavalry battalion hidden in the hilly area pointed out by the devil Cao Chang, he immediately asked the commander of the Matsumoto Wing whether he could carry out artillery strikes in an attempt to sneak attack the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army at the artillery position.

Wing Commander Matsumoto received a request report from the commander of the artillery squadron and immediately ordered the five mountain guns to adjust their gun positions and destroy the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army with the most intense artillery fire.

At this time, the soldiers of the only cavalry battalion who had hidden themselves in the low-lying part of the hilly area were very angry in their hearts, and they did not expect that a powerful cavalry battalion would be blocked by a Japanese squad occupying a dominant geographical location, and not only could not launch a sneak attack on the enemy's artillery position, but was bruised and hid in this mountain col.

Ma Ming also felt very annoyed, but no matter how annoyed he was, he couldn't use the only regiment, an elite mobile and flexible cavalry unit, to ram the enemy's guns, and he had to come up with the most perfect way to break through the two small high ground positions set up by the Japanese army in the hilly area in front of him in a short time, launch a surprise attack on the enemy's artillery positions, and destroy the enemy's artillery positions for fire attack.

He ordered the cavalry battalion commander Gong Zhijian and others: "Battalion Commander Gong led the first cavalry company to bypass from the left flank, Instructor Fang Chao led the second company to bypass from the right flank to the small high ground occupied by the devils, and I led the third company to launch a feint attack from the front. ”

The three cavalry companies began to move almost simultaneously, and when the whole unit of the cavalry battalion had just left the low-lying part of the hill, five shells suddenly flew from the northeast and were wrapped in whistling shells, and the 'boom, boom' exploded in the low-lying place where the cavalry battalion had just left.

The first wave of artillery fire from the enemy's artillery squadron was immediately fired, and five more shells were fired, exploding in different positions, and the entire low-lying area was covered with artillery fire.

According to the devils guarding the two small highlands in the hilly area, they found that the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army was shrouded in the mountain col by the smoke and flames raised by the artillery explosion, and they jumped up arrogantly and howled: "The cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route will be wiped out by the artillery fire of our great Japanese this time, hahaha." ”

Before the arrogant little devil could finish laughing, he suddenly found that nearly a hundred war horses rushed out of the artillery fire, frantically rushing towards the two small heights occupied by the devil.

The deputy captain of the devil patrol team, he didn't expect that the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army would kill the position again alive from the artillery fire, when he found a battalion of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, there were only a hundred war horses left at this time, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, Yanxi, the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Road was destroyed by cannon fodder, at this time, this cavalry unit of nearly 100 horses, at all, could not break through the position of our Imperial Japanese Army, I ordered all light and heavy weapons, concentrate firepower to destroy the Eighth Route Cavalry who are not afraid of death, and kill ——。 ”

With the help of the positional advantage, the devils of the two small heights attacked the third cavalry company led by Ma Ming with condescending firepower, and were once again blocked by the enemy's firepower, which was expected by Ma Ming, he ordered the third cavalry company to just feint, and saw that the enemy was all concentrated on blocking the third cavalry company with fierce firepower, and he decisively ordered the third cavalry company to quickly retreat.

The enemy saw that he had repelled the third company of cavalry led by Ma Ming, and he was arrogant and just wanted to boast, but suddenly the third company of cavalry led by Ma Ming pounced again, and the speed of this attack was very fast, and he was about to kill to the front of the position.

The deputy captain of the devil squad howled in fright: "Quickly block the attacking Tubalu cavalry unit with the most fierce firepower, and you must destroy this Tubalu." ”

Ma Ming saw that the enemy immediately organized fire to block it, he once again issued an emergency whistle to the attacking cavalry soldiers, and the cavalry soldiers who heard the quick retreat whistle command turned their horses and rushed down the hills, and in the eyes of the enemy, they fled in the desert.

The two feints consumed a lot of ammunition from the enemy, such a patrol force, the ammunition carried with it would not be too much, Ma Ming thought that the opportunity had come, and the first and second companies of the cavalry who were responsible for outflanking the patrol squad of the little highland devils on both flanks should be hidden close to the enemy.

He decisively ordered Zhao Dongcheng, deputy commander of the cavalry battalion: "Order the three companies of cavalry to hang up their sabers and launch the most ferocious attack on the two small heights held by the enemy with guns, and this group of bastards must be eliminated in this attack." ”

The soldiers of the third company of cavalry received the order to cancel the feint attack, but to launch the most ferocious and powerful offensive, one by one they glared, hung their sabers on the saddle, and carried a rifle that had been modified to be one size smaller than the ordinary 38 big cover, and under Ma Ming's order, they rushed to the enemy's two small heights with the most ferocious sprint speed.

Ma Ming took the lead in firing the first shot, and the soldiers of the third cavalry company, who were attacking the enemy position, pulled the trigger with their rifles and spat out tongues of fire and rushed to the enemy position.

Under the command of battalion commander Gong Zhijian and instructor Fang Chao, the second and first companies of the cavalry, which were concealed on both flanks and close to the positions held by the enemy patrol squads, heard the third cavalry company in charge of the frontal feint, and suddenly shouted and burst into fierce gunfire to kill the enemy position, and the cavalry units on both flanks suddenly rushed out of the hidden mountain depression and bravely pounced on the enemy position.

The devils who were sticking to the two small heights saw that the artillery squadron shelled three times in a row, and the fierce artillery fire should have destroyed the hidden col of the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army, but they did not expect to be deceived by the shrouded gunpowder smoke and beacon fire, and this cunning cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army was not only not destroyed by artillery fire, but took this opportunity to adopt the tactics of frontal feints and sneak attacks on both flanks, and suddenly killed them.

The cavalry battalion of more than 300 cavalry suddenly launched the most fierce attack when the enemy's patrol squad was almost depleted of bullets, which was simply unstoppable, dozens of little devils were eliminated in a few minutes, and two small heights were occupied.

Ma Ming was about to lead the cavalry battalion to kill the hills and go straight to the artillery squadron position of the Japanese Matsumoto Wing, but he did not expect that a squadron devil who was deployed around the Japanese artillery position suddenly rushed to the cavalry battalion on two small heights in the hilly area and launched the most fierce fire strike.

As soon as Ma Ming saw that he had lost the opportunity to surprise the enemy's artillery position, in order to protect this only regiment of elite cavalry troops, he had to quickly withdraw from the small high ground and retreat to the low-lying place, in order to see the opportunity to sneak attack the enemy's artillery position again.

The Japanese artillery position suddenly appeared a squadron devil to protect the perimeter, which Ma Ming did not expect, how could he never have thought that the Japanese commander received a report from the artillery squadron leader, and the cunning Matsumoto wing captain realized that the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the southwest direction of the artillery position, and its purpose was to destroy the Japanese artillery position, this guy immediately decisively pulled out a Japanese squadron from the battlefield and ran to reinforce the artillery position.

Wing Commander Matsumoto withdrew a squadron to protect the artillery positions from the fierce fighting between the enemy and us, and the situation on the battlefield changed, and the positions on the north and south slopes occupied by the 3rd, 1st and 4th Battalions of the 1st Regiment were relatively relieved of the pressure on the Japanese to launch an attack.

Li Gang, commander of the only regiment commanding the blocking battle on the north and south slopes, ordered the troops to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, adopt the tactic of concentrating firepower to destroy the main force of the Japanese army, and launch a new round of firepower strikes against the enemy.

Wing Commander Matsumoto was anxious to break through the blocking position of the only regiment of the Eighth Route Army and march to Fuping Castle as fast as possible in an attempt to relieve the trapped Ikeda squadron, and ordered the artillery squadron to concentrate the heaviest fire and shell the positions on the north and south slopes of the Eighth Route Army.

Lei Jian found that the enemy had launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the north and south slopes again, and roared angrily: "Ma Ming, you bastard, why haven't you destroyed the enemy's artillery position yet?" ”
