There was no shortage of weapons, equipment, and ammunition in the positions of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, but what was lacking was the people who used weapons and equipment, and the timely arrival of the Second Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army filled up all the positions on the front line at once.

"Quick, set up a simple deer barricade to prevent cavalry impact!"

The officers and men of the 1st Division of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, who had just jumped out of the trenches to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese infantry, also returned to various positions one after another, stepping up preparations to resist the surprise attack of the Japanese cavalry.

Wang Mo, who rushed to the front-line headquarters, immediately took over the supreme command from Li Jian, and immediately issued an order: "Order, concentrate all light and heavy machine guns on the front-line position, and destroy this bullshit cavalry of the Japanese for Lao Tzu!" ”

Perhaps the vast majority of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army was very jealous of the Japanese cavalry wing, but this definitely did not include Wang Mo.

Because Wang Mo knew that after the appearance of machine guns, cavalry was destined to no longer be the main force on the frontal battlefield of large-scale battles, and could only be used as a surprise soldier with sudden attack and rapid mobile response.

With Wang Mo's order, a very light and heavy machine gun began to be erected in various positions on the front line, and boxes of machine gun bullets were smashed open and moved to the edge of the machine gun position.

In the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, machine guns are equipped to platoons, and there are definitely hundreds of light and heavy machine guns in the two divisions, and such a huge number is extremely terrifying in this era.

Hoof treading - hoof treading - hoof treading -

The sound of the galloping horses' hooves grew louder and closer, and the ground shook more and more violently.

Seeing the surging momentum, thousands of cavalry galloping towards him, and the whole world shaking, Sun Erwa's legs couldn't help but tremble, and turned his head to look at Du Xiaoshan, the company commander he had always trusted, but saw that Du Xiaoshan also looked nervous, and the fingers holding the rifle kept shaking like spasms.

In the era of cold and weapons, it is not unreasonable that cavalry is the strongest type of troops.

Those who have not faced thousands of cavalry assaults cannot experience the almost suffocating sense of oppression, and most of the recruits will be so weak that they can't even turn around and run away, let alone resist it.

Boom-boom-boom

The remaining 20 guns of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army took the lead in shelling the Japanese cavalry wing. Shen Huai was well aware of the assault capability of the cavalry group, and knew that this was the critical moment that would determine the life and death of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, so he went crazy and commanded the artillery groups to rain cannonballs at the Japanese cavalry.

The results of the shelling were obvious, often a single shell was dropped. Breaking through the scattered shrapnel would have knocked over several Japanese cavalry in the vicinity.

However, the speed of the cavalry was so fast that the artillery groups of the artillery regiment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army did not have time to correct the shelling of Zhuyuan, and rushed into the kilometer range of the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army.

Masaki Terauchi, who saw this scene through the binoculars, shouted excitedly: "Okay, rush." Just rush like that! Break up and tear apart the defense line of the Chinese people! ”

The Japanese infantry are also gearing up, and once the cavalry wing rushes into the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, they will immediately follow and defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance in one fell swoop!

The effective range of the Makqin heavy machine gun was almost 1,000 meters, and at this time, the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry wing had already entered the range of the machine gun.

"Machine gun crew, hit the horse first, fire!"

The basic officers of the positions of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army shouted orders to open machine-gun fire.

Dada-

Hundreds of light and heavy machine guns firing at the same time was such a spectacular scene that it was not enough to describe what happened when the dense barrage formed a steel storm visible to the naked eye.

The horses in the front row were instantly torn to shreds by countless bullets. The cavalry that followed was swept away by the furious dense barrage one after another, and fell to the ground one after another.

Terauchi Zhengyi, who was originally expecting the cavalry wing to rush into the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army and wantonly wield sabers and slaughter the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

This...... How is this possible!

Such a dense and terrifying firepower output completely broke Terauchi Masaki's perception of war, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The most terrifying lethality of the machine guns of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army lies in the initial wave of strafing, after hitting a bullet chain, it is inevitable that there will be a strafing gap when the bullet chain is replaced.

After paying heavy casualties, the Japanese cavalry took advantage of this gap and advanced a large distance. Seeing that many cavalry were about to rush into the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

"Shoot!"

At this time, the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in the trenches also began to shoot at the Japanese cavalry, constantly killing the fish that slipped through the net under the strafing of the machine gun crew.

Closer, the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition would use grenades to kill and wound the horses of the Japanese cavalry. Then calmly kill the Japanese soldiers.

Under such heavy interceptions, the Japanese cavalry wing could not exert the power of the charge of the large cavalry regiment at all, and occasionally a few cavalrymen were lucky enough to rush into the position of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army and were quickly beaten to death, which did not play any role at all.

In this case, the cavalry wing of the Japanese army did not look like it was carrying out a charge assault operation at all, but rather like it was sending people to death one after another.

"Your Excellency, General. Give the order to retreat! The cavalry wing can't be allowed to continue to rush, otherwise the cavalry wing will be slaughtered by the chinas! Kamio Mitsutomi was heartbroken and begged the temple to do the same.

The artillery wing was completely wiped out, and at least one more infantry wing was lost since the start of the war, and if the cavalry wing was wiped out again, then the 18th Division would be almost abandoned.

"Yaga!" Masashi in the temple just wanted to scold, but when he saw Kamio Mitsutomi's pleading eyes, he couldn't scold anymore.

Kamio Mitsutomi is also a lieutenant general of the army, and his request, Terauchi Masaki is not easy to refuse even as an army general.

The situation on the battlefield has developed to the point where it is now, and if it continues to fight, it will only increase the number of casualties, and it will not be able to conflict the defense line of the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army and completely defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army.

Thinking of this, Ternachi Zhengyi's face was blue, red, and white, and finally he sat down on the chair with a depressed and weak expression, and spit out a sentence extremely unwillingly: "Order, stop attacking......"

When they received the order to stop the attack and retreated, the cavalry wing of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, although it was not completely annihilated, but it was also disabled.

Not only the cavalry wing, but also the rest of the Japanese army retreated one after another. The intention to continue the offensive was abandoned.

"The Orientals have retreated!"

"The Toyos lost, we won!"

"We won, long live the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance, long live Commander Wang!"

……

See the retreating Japanese troops like a tidal wave. The soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in various positions stood on top of the trenches, raised their rifles in their hands, and cheered and celebrated.

The officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army in the command headquarters were also very excited and happy, and even Wang Mo was excited.

This is not just as simple as repelling a Japanese attack, but also from the overall situation of the battle. After the failure of this attack, the Japanese army had lost the opportunity and ability to defeat the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance.

The ensuing war situation was completely in the hands of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance. To put it bluntly, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance has lifted the skirt of the goddess of victory.

"Commander, are we going to take advantage of the victory and pursue and give the Orientals a ruthless blow?" Zhang Wei excitedly proposed.

Wang Mo was not carried away by the victory, and categorically rejected this proposal, shook his head and said: "No, although the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties, there are at least more than 20,000 people. The combat effectiveness still exists, and it should not be underestimated! Our army has been fighting high-intensity battles for several days, and it is also the end of the crossbow, so we must rest for a while. ”

Li Jian agreed: "What the commander said is extremely true, now the brothers are persisting with a breath, and if they continue to fight, their bodies will collapse, and they will have to rest for a few days no matter what." Just take advantage of the past few days to transport the artillery from Jiaoxian County to make up for the destroyed artillery of the artillery regiment. ”

The other officers and operational staff officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army also spoke out one after another to express their approval of allowing the troops to rest and recuperate.

After being covered in blood and covered in blood, the Japanese army did not attack the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army again. Instead, they looked like they were cowering in Jimo County, which allowed all units of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army to rest and recuperate with peace of mind.

……

Nanjing, Jiangsu.

One of the most prosperous cities in the south is now closed to business travel. Pedestrians retreat.

There is no other reason, because at this moment, Nanjing has been surrounded by 20,000 Sichuan regiments, and war is about to break out.

Under the strong artillery superiority, the West Route Army, composed of the 1st and 4th Divisions of the Sichuan Army, was overwhelmed along the way, and with almost no casualties, it easily swept through the turbulent Anhui and Jiangsu Kuomintang troops, and quickly reached the city of Nanjing.

It is a matter of life and death for the KMT. Xu Chongzhi and other core personnel of the Kuomintang did their best to defend Nanjing. After a series of emergency preparations, Xu Chongzhi successfully integrated more than 50,000 troops in the surrounding area of Nanjing into six divisions to concentrate on the city of Nanjing.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the number of this army is indeed amazing, and the dense number of soldiers is scattered all over the defensive positions in Nanjing City.

Sun Yat-sen took the Kuomintang princes to inspect the defensive positions in Nanjing, and when he saw this huge number of troops, he finally had some expectations in his heart.

With so many troops, they still stick to the fortified city, and they may really be able to hold Nanjing, and it may not be impossible to repel the Sichuan army in one fell swoop after inflicting heavy losses.

Hey?

Sun Yat-sen suddenly looked up and saw something rising from the sky outside the city, and asked suspiciously: "That seems to be a hot air balloon, what is the Sichuan army outside the city doing when it raises a hot air balloon, to explore our defense deployment?" ”

Balloon?

Xu Chongzhi turned his head and followed Sun Yat-sen's gaze, and saw the hot air balloon rising high, and his face suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, Mr. get out of here quickly." This is the observation balloon of the Sichuan artillery regiment, and the Sichuan army is about to launch an artillery bombardment! ”

Hearing that the Sichuan army was about to launch an artillery bombardment, the blood on the faces of the princes of the Kuomintang instantly faded, and they immediately panicked.

Originally, Sun Yat-sen also made a high-profile statement that he wanted to live and die with the front-line soldiers, but he was soon frightened by the Kuomintang and left the city defense position.

Outside Nanjing, on the artillery position of the Sichuan Army, 100 75mm Grusen Mountain guns were stacked in rows, which was visually spectacular.

According to the specific parameters reported by the observers on the hot air balloon, the main gunners of each artillery group shook the cradle vigorously.

The muzzles of the black holes of the 100 75mm Grusen Mountain Cannons slowly raised, and a hideous and terrifying awe-inspiring murderous aura rushed towards them. (To be continued.) )
