Chapter 1445: Cavalry Raid
At the entrance of the village at the west end of the village, there is a small stone house, there is no wall on the south side, only a few trees lie horizontally to form a fence, and a long stone ridge is placed on the side of the fence, which is used to raise cattle at a glance, and it is the kind of cattle and donkeys that can do manual work.
These animals are very precious to the common people, ploughing the ground, driving, grinding and other heavy physical work all point to them, so the place to live must be safe and firm, a few stone walls can be much stronger than the rammed earth walls where the people live, not afraid of any wind and rain.
At this moment, this has become Su Canwen's temporary command post and lookout post.
The stone house is still firm, the key is that the terrain is high, the whole south side is open, the two pontoon bridges in front of the right can be seen at a glance, the other three directions except for the east side of the house to block the view, the west and north sides are unobstructed open land, in the wall carved out two holes can observe all the movement outside, is a natural lookout post.
Although it is a place where livestock are kept in captivity, it is estimated that it has been idle for a long time, there is no smell of feces and animals left in it, and the ground is relatively dry, obviously after some cleaning, Su Canwen sat on the ground, and there was a low table behind him, with a radio station on it, and several walkie-talkies, and two telegraph soldiers sitting in the back.
There was a hole in the wall on the west and south sides that was not much bigger than a fist, and Xiaodao and Lei Zhan were holding an infrared night vision device and were pouting their butts to observe every move outside.
Although there are no lights in the house, tonight is a full moon night, and the light of the moonlight is enough to affect everyone's actions and work.
"Head, it's been more than ten o'clock, and there hasn't been any movement, do you think the little devil special combat team will come?" The knife didn't look back and said softly.
Su Canwen sat with his back against the table, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes were a little blank looking at the two dark pontoon bridges in the moonlight, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he hadn't heard what the knife said at all.
Seeing that Su Canwen ignored him, Xiao Dao simply put down the telescope in his hand, sat on the ground and continued: "Head, do you say that Sister Rushuang can survive safely tonight?" ”
"Go back to your post!" Su Canwen's body didn't move, but he seemed to have eyes behind his back, and shouted in a low voice.
Xiaodao pouted at Su Canwen's back, got up a little reluctantly, rubbed his eyes and continued to set up the telescope, from the evening to now, his eyes are tired, and the child's heart is a little unable to sit still.
The moon is like a wash, the evening breeze is light, the wisps of mist begin to rise from the water, the sky and the earth are extremely quiet, but this tranquility has a trace of unsettling atmosphere, it seems that even the autumn insects have felt it, there is no noise in the past, and occasionally two chirps can make people's hearts clench inexplicably.
Suddenly, the knife stood upright, as if listening to something, and then quickly lay on the ground, his ears pressed tightly to the ground, and then exclaimed, "Head, the sound of horses' hooves, a herd of horses is approaching us." ”
Su Canwen ejected and shouted, "Which direction, how many are there?" ”
"To the east, there are a lot of them." Knife Road.
Su Canwen pointed at the telegraph soldier and said hurriedly: "Order Battalion Commander Zhang to defend immediately, and the enemy cavalry will kill from the front!" ”
The telecommunications soldier hurriedly grabbed a walkie-talkie and called.
Su Canwen paced back and forth, and then ordered a company on the north bank to rush to support immediately.
Su Canwen immediately judged that it should be the cavalry wing of the enemy's Sakura Division, and after they attacked the rear of the women's division, they continued to rush here non-stop, and there was only one company of guards in front of them, and they could not stop the attack of a wing of cavalry.
Su Canwen believed that this was just the enemy disrupting the sight and hearing and using the cavalry wing to disrupt their position, and the real enemy had not yet shown up, so the snow wolf special combat team could not move yet.
Soon, a procession passed in front of the stone house and hurried into the village to the east.
Immediately, the clear sound of horses' hooves came, and the galloping sound of ten thousand horses was huge.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! ”
The light and heavy machine guns of the national army rang out, mixed with the neighing of war horses, and then, the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, and all kinds of weapons opened fire, and the night that had just been quiet was instantly turned into a pot of porridge.
Fortunately, the early warning of the knife made the troops on guard, and the enemy's sneak attack was unsuccessful, and the first round of strafing forced them off their horses, and a sneak attack evolved into an encounter began.
But in less than ten minutes, Battalion Commander Zhang, who was commanding the battle at the front, sent two reports to Su Canwen asking for reinforcements in a row.
The women's division only left one battalion in the rear, which was also Su Canwen's arrangement, originally wanted to show the enemy weakness and give the enemy's special combat team an illusion of opportunity, but no one thought that the enemy actually killed a cavalry wing.
Although the strength of the enemy's cavalry wing was only more than 1,000 people, more than 600 people died in one battalion of the national army.
Although the women's division is also a type A division of the Nanshan Independent Army (this establishment is still given by the chairman himself), the troop allocation is more than 24,000, but the main thing is to increase the regiment-level establishment, the Nanshan Independent Army's establishment is three brigades and 12 regiments, and the women's division does not have a brigade-level establishment, and directly has 12 regiments under its jurisdiction, so the battalion-level establishment is no different from other troops.
Except for the strength of one company on the south bank of the Sujin River, which cannot be moved, the remaining two companies plus the troops directly under the battalion are only more than 400 people, which is not a little bit worse than the more than 1,000 troops of the island army, and it is strange that Battalion Commander Zhang can withstand it.
Moreover, in the war with a higher and higher degree of mechanization, the cavalry has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, since the enemy can also re-establish a cavalry team at this time, it must have made a lot of effort, the cavalry with infantry rifles and sabers as the main weapons in the past has now almost all been equipped with * and sabers, and even carries infantry artillery, light and heavy machine guns, firepower is simply not much more than the infantry, but the speed is several times that of the infantry, which makes the cavalry not only perform reconnaissance and infiltration tasks, dismount, The ability to attack tough problems should not be underestimated.
The enemy's unexpected blow immediately disrupted Su Canwen's deployment, reinforcements, the enemy special combat team doesn't know where to hide yet? As long as a gap is removed, the enemy's special combat team will definitely take advantage of the situation.
If the island cavalry penetrates the defensive line, the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team will also have to be forced to defend, and the situation will be even worse than now.
Just when Su Canwen was hesitating, the report of Battalion Commander Zhang's third request for support arrived, and in line with the lesser of two evils, Su Canwen still gritted his teeth and ordered the Huangshulin detachment on the right flank to withdraw from the ambush site and rush to help.
Although there are only forty-eight people in a detachment of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one enemy and ten cavalry against the little devils.
