Compared with many places in the south, the mountains are high and densely forested, which is not suitable for cavalry and other types of troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But in this part of the Great Northwest, the cavalry has always been elite. The cavalry in the Japanese army is known as the noble army.

The little devils who are qualified to become the cavalry of the Japanese army are often mostly elite soldiers in the infantry. In addition to being good at horsemanship, its combat ability is also stronger than that of ordinary infantry. And this time to reinforce Yushe, there is a squadron of Japanese cavalry.

Perhaps the advent of machine guns has greatly challenged the cavalry as a unit. However, in some specific combat environments, the combat effectiveness that cavalry can exert is often more powerful than that of infantry.

This time, he was ordered to rush to the aid of Yushe, a squadron of Japanese cavalry, and had been urging the infantry following behind to speed up. It's just that for many Japanese infantrymen, they also looked down on these arrogant cavalry.

The problem was that the cavalry was known as a noble soldier in the Japanese army. Many Japanese infantrymen, although they were not used to seeing these high cavalry, they also did not dare to say anything, all they could do was to speed up and hurry.

It's just that for the infantry, how can they keep up with the speed of the four-legged war horse when they only walk on two legs?

As usual, the Japanese cavalry squadron, which did not want to mix with the infantry, played the role of a pioneer for the infantry units. These little devils on war horses seem to be somewhat high-spirited for no one to attack all the way.

Walking on the road to Yushe, a Japanese cavalryman looked at the mountains around the road and said with a little puzzlement: "Didn't you say that the Tuba Road here is very active?" Why did we all enter the territory of Yushe and not encounter the attack of Tubalu? ”

The cavalryman's puzzlement caused a cavalry soldier Cao to reply mockingly: "As for those dirt roads, they are only good at sneak attacks and escapes, and they don't dare to confront us head-on.

If they ambush us here on the highway, do you think they will escape the slashing of our sabers? These dirt roads are very cunning, and they must not commit such stupid things.

This time we were ordered to reinforce the garrison troops of Yushe, and I believe that our saber will have a chance to be unsheathed next. When the time comes, you must cut off a few more heads of dirt and eight roads, soldiers, can you do it? ”

'Hey! I will try my best to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ’

As the light cavalry of the Japanese army, although they are very confident, their combat quality is naturally not bad. Seeing that there were more and more mountains near the road, the commander of the cavalry squadron in charge of the command also ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance.

Although the cavalry squadron leader also felt that no one should dare to attack them boldly at this time. But as the road began to extend into the mountains, he also knew that this kind of terrain was not conducive to cavalry charging operations.

The leader of the cavalry squadron, who consciously stretched the team, walked in the middle of the team on horseback, looked at the mountains on both sides and said with some concern: "Baga, the terrain here doesn't seem to be suitable for our cavalry to fight!" ”

'Inada-kun, don't worry! This time, we are reinforcing the Yusha, and I believe that Noda Nakasa will not let us be idle. When our infantry forces force out those dirt roads hiding in the mountains, the rest of the pursuit is our task.

Although this section of the road is relatively dangerous, judging from the current situation, the Eighth Route Army should know the news of our arrival. What do you think is the most important thing for them to do right now? ’

'Divert or hide? ’

'Nice! After entering Shanxi, we also had a few encounters with Tubalu. Do you think they will dare to confront us head-on with these dirt weapons? Will they be able to escape our counterattack by setting up an ambush in such a place? ’

While the two cavalry officers were chatting side by side, their vanguard cavalry had already entered the ambush circle set by Zhao Tiehu. It's just that the team members didn't see Zhao Tiehu make a gesture of action, and the rope in his hand was not pulled.

Zhao Tiehu, who was lying in the trenches lurking on the side of the road, could tell from the dust raised behind these dozen little devil cavalrymen that these cavalry should just be a vanguard cavalry squad used to explore the road.

If you make a move now, you will naturally be shocked by the large number of cavalry following behind. Spending a day and a night lurking here, Zhao Tiehu naturally hopes to gain more. The bombs planted on the road, he also wanted to use the maximum power.

Wait until the vanguard squad of the little devil cavalry left the ambush point safe and sound. Many soldiers with sweaty palms also stared at the place where a large amount of dust was raised in front of them. They knew that it was the main cavalry force of the little devils who followed behind.

As the sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, the team members lying on the hillside could already feel the slight vibration from the ground. Just when everyone began to clench the weapons in their hands, a large number of Japanese cavalry who followed up finally appeared in everyone's sight.

'Ready! ’

Zhao Tiehu, who gave the battle order softly, also clenched the light machine gun in his hand. If you want to ambush the cavalry of the little devils, the rifle alone will not play a big role, and only the weapon of the machine gun can produce the greatest killing effect.

At such a close distance, as long as the few machine guns he carried opened fire, Zhao Tiehu believed that these little devil cavalry would lose at least half. Even if he can't wipe them out, Zhao Tiehu also hopes that the little devil cavalry will be injured.

Two warriors with hair ropes in their hands stared at the little devil cavalry who rode slowly on the road. As for their ears, they were always listening to the orders that Zhao Tiehu might give at any time not far away.

'Pull! Comrades, hit! ’

Zhao Tiehu, who was also staring at these marching little devil cavalry, saw that this cavalry squadron finally stepped into the explosion zone. In addition to a loud shout to inform the two soldiers who were pulling the ropes, the order to shoot was also given.

With this roar, the Japanese cavalry on the march was curious about where the sound came from, when they felt a loud explosion coming from both sides of the road. These roadside bombs specially made by Zhao Tiehu were detonated, instantly forming a huge shrapnel shock wave.

The nails and pieces of iron wrapped in the bomb multiply the bomb's lethality. As long as the cavalry swept by shrapnel, whether it was a man or a war horse, there was a situation where they were either dead or disabled.

At the same time, Zhao Tiehu and others, who had been lying in the hidden trench, also mounted their machine guns on the trench, began to pull the trigger in their hands, and shot strings of bullets at the unprepared little devil cavalry on the road.

The Japanese cavalry, which had been frantically strafed by the sudden roadside bombs and a few machine guns, was unable to form an effective counterattack at all. The only thing the Japanese cavalry who dodged the shock wave of the explosion could do was jump off their horses.

Of course, there were also some cavalrymen who desperately slapped their horses under them, trying to break out of the range of machine gun fire. The Japanese cavalry squad, which was previously in charge of exploring the road, heard the explosion behind him and also realized that something was wrong.

'Yaga! Not good, hurry back to support! ’

With the cavalry team in charge of exploring the road, they hurriedly choked the marching war horses, turned their horses' heads and began to prepare to meet and return to help. The Japanese cavalry squadron shrouded in gunsmoke, human corpses and horse corpses made the whole road full of blood.

The screams that came out from time to time made the surviving little devil cavalry angry and a little frightened. But for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were ambushed, they were very excited, and they changed their bullets as quickly as possible and continued to shoot.

After a few rounds of shooting, looking at the little devil cavalry who had escaped from the ambush circle, he began to organize a counterattack. Zhao Tiehu felt that this ambush was almost over, and it was time to bring these remaining little devil cavalry into the mountains.

'Alternate cover, start retreating!' Fast! ’

With Zhao Tiehu giving the order to retreat, even some soldiers didn't want to leave so soon. Seeing Zhao Tiehu's cold expression, they still hurriedly got up, bent their waists and began to retreat towards the mountain according to the previous combat deployment.

Zhao Tiehu, who was in charge of the palace, watched the soldiers begin to leave one after another, and he didn't linger long. Follow the previously found retreat route and retreat as you go. And Li Hao and Tie Dan shot from time to time to suppress the pursuit of the little devil cavalry.

It's just that when retreating from the hidden trenches, Zhao Tiehu set up two trip-type tricks in the trenches as usual. He believed that if the little devil was going to pursue him, these four grenades used to set up tricks should give the little devil a 'surprise'.

From the beginning of the bomb buried on the side of the road to the cavalry of the little devil began to organize a counterattack, this battle, which lasted only a few minutes, ended with the retreat of Zhao Tiehu and his party.

Looking at these fight-and-run Eighth Route Army, the surviving little devil cavalry, they were naturally very angry. Captain Inada, the leader of the cavalry squadron who had escaped before, shouted angrily: "Baga, pursue!" We must not let them run! ”

In the previous attack, the cavalry lieutenant with whom he had the best relationship was killed on the spot by a direct blow to the head with a piece of shrapnel. thought that the two had been chatting very happily a few minutes ago, but in a blink of an eye, the other party died in front of him.

Thinking of the cavalry who died in this ambush, and seeing that there were only more than ten members of the Eighth Route Army fleeing, Captain Inada naturally would not let go of the opportunity for revenge. It's just that he doesn't know that it's just the beginning!
