Chapter 768: Attack and Kill Artillery Position II
"Kill the district directly, don't stay! , the east of the first battalion, the north of the second battalion, don't fall in love with the battle after blocking the Japanese infantry, return to the city immediately! โ
Zhao drove his horse up the river embankment on the north bank of the Fenghe River, and felt a sudden heart-piercing pain in his right thigh in the rain of bullets fired by the Japanese artillery.
knew that he had been shot, but Zhao Dabang didn't even look down.
"Kill!"
Instead, he suddenly tightened his horse's belly, roared, and raised his sword in his right hand, slashing at the head of a terrified Japanese soldier like a horse.
"Poof!"
A head was raised high, and the headless neck below spewed out a scarlet spring.
"Bang, bang, bangโ"
"Kill!"
The first group of cavalry assault line swept through the gap between the Japanese artillery, nearly half of the cavalry lost their lives in this attack, and they also killed more than 50 Japanese soldiers.
First round, 63 against 53.
"Yuโ"
Those northwestern war horses who have lost their owners, years of training have made them scream while following the herd to the east, north, and both sides.
"Kill!"
"Shoot, shoot!"
"Bang, bang, bangโ"
After the charge of the 1st cavalry line, the 2nd assault line of the cavalry regiment arrived, and in the shouting and gunfire, nearly half of the cavalry was killed, and more than 60 Japanese soldiers were killed.
Second round, 56 against 61.
In this round of slashing, the more than 30 heads that were slashed and killed last time were still on the ground and did not stop rolling, and this time more than 30 heads were thrown high, and more than 30 headless fountains were gushing with blood columns.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the 3rd attack line of the cavalry regiment crashed into the Japanese artillery position.
"Bang, bang,โโ"
"Ahh
In this slashing, more than 60 Japanese soldiers were cut down by sharp blades, while the casualties of the cavalry regiment plummeted to more than 40 people.
Third round, 41 against 64.
3 thunderous iron-blooded slashes in a row have already made the Japanese army soft and cold!
"Kill!"
At this time, the 4th line of attack of the cavalry regiment smashed into the Japanese artillery position.
"Bang, bang, bangโ"
This burst of gunfire has suddenly become much more sparse, and some Japanese soldiers even fired indiscriminately, shrinking their heads and leaning towards the barrels of the artillery as much as possible.
"Ahh
As a result, many of the cavalry regiment's mortal knives were cut crooked, and thirty or forty seriously wounded Japanese soldiers who were not dead fell to the ground and rolled and howled.
The casualties of the cavalry regiment continued to decrease significantly, and it was close to a replacement ratio of one to two!
Fourth round, 35 against 68.
And all the Japanese artillerymen who were frightened and turned pale were desperately relying on the artillery, and they insisted on resisting.
"Kill!"
The 5th line of attack of the cavalry regiment continued to follow unrelentingly. One after another, the snow-white knives slashed at the chickens (Japanese artillery) who seemed to be hiding in the arms of the old hen (cannon).
"Bang, bangโ"
"Poof, poof!"
The gunfire was scattered, and the knife was strong in the flesh.
Fifth round, 23 vs. 61!
It is far more than one to two, close to the one to three replacement ratio.
"Bomb it!"
With a loud roar, the 110 cavalry of the 6th cavalry line of the 'Tiger Regiment' almost unhindered thrust the cylindrical explosive bag into the muzzle, and then suddenly pulled the fuse.
The horses rushed through the flocks of chickens.
There were more than a dozen cavalrymen whose hands were slow, and they were grabbed by other comrades-in-arms, so they had to laugh loudly and curse the explosives bag in their hands and throw it into the Japanese crowd.
At the same time as the explosives bag left his hand, the fuse that was still held in his hand was smoothly separated from the explosives bag and caught fire.
The explosives bag smoked and smashed into the Japanese troops.
โโโ๏ผโ
Almost all the Japanese artillery soldiers were puzzled, thinking in amazement in their hearts how these Qing army killing gods turned into sex and stopped cutting people? And what is this cylinder wrapped in coarse cloth on the ground, and it is still smoking?
In my ears, I heard a Japanese soldier nearby screaming in fear: "They stuff things into the muzzles, stuff things!" โ
"Bomb! It's a bomb! โ
Some of the clever soldiers had already reacted quickly, jumping and shouting.
"Bastard, go rip off the dynamite bag! - Tear off the explosives bag! โ
"Boom, boomโ"
In the midst of all kinds of exclamations, the muzzles of the guns of the Japanese artillery positions in Fenghe spewed out long flames one by one, causing the artillery to tremble and bounce up and down.
86 artillery pieces of 3 artillery wings were destroyed in an instant!
"Wow-"
"Wow-"
At this moment, dozens of Japanese artillerymen vomited blood, Sakurai Kuzaburo and these artillery officers were angry, and those soldiers were violently shelled by the cannon body, and their internal organs were injured.
Seven or eight unlucky ghosts were shot alive on the spot!
At this point, the cavalry regiment not only killed a large number of Japanese artillery under the blow of the brave six cavalry lines, but also perfectly wiped out the artillery of the three infantry wings of the Japanese army.
During the First Sino-Japanese War, the entire Oriental Army was equipped with about 200 land artillery pieces, and in this battle alone, it successfully blew up a small half of the land artillery, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
Moreover, in the fierce confrontation of direct sabers and guns, the Japanese artillery lost nearly 350 soldiers, and the cavalry battalion killed 236 people.
The cavalry regiment won a crushing victory!
"Yaga, Yaga! Damn, damn!
Sakurai Kuzaburo Osaku was trembling with anger, looking at the cannon muzzle torn like a spider web, and he was distressed and remorseful and just wanted to crash to death on the barrel.
However, after seeing that all the cavalry soldiers of the Qing army were divided into two roads, one riding in the dust.
The fighting in the northeast had just stopped, and the Qing prisoners, replenished by 4 infantry squadrons of guns, were advancing south.
Sakurai Kuzaburo endured the tearing pain in his heart and yelled, "Assemble, assemble!" Form a blocking line, stop them, stop them! โ
At this time, Xu Weijie's reconnaissance company combined with Qing prisoners of war and annihilated all three infantry squadrons of Japanese artillery.
Ge killed 553 Japanese soldiers, including the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 5th Artillery Wing, Nobuo Shinomiya.
At this time, the reconnaissance company had been reduced to 118 people, and more than half of them were killed.
On this meadow, there are more than 700 heroes of the Qing army who died bravely!
At this time, it was seen that the cavalry had perfectly completed the blowing up of the Japanese artillery group, and the remaining Japanese artillery was shouting this regrouping.
The Japanese reinforcements in the north, after firing with the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, successfully reached the westernmost part of the Japanese serpentine artillery.
The return route to the west was sealed.
Xu Weijie hurriedly shouted and ordered: "Brothers, run from the east and return to the city!" โ
"Back to the city, back to the city!"
The successive victories, especially the impeccable and beautiful battles of the cavalry regiments, had already aroused the enthusiasm of all Qing troops at this time.
At this time, it seemed that all the Qing soldiers thought of a series of military miracles of the anti-Japanese army, so they all yelled and followed the ranks of the reconnaissance company and rushed to the southeast.
"The captives want to run! Intercept them, intercept them! โ
Seeing this scene, Sakurai Kuzaburo, Hoshizen Dairo, Shibata Masataka, and Okami Masami, the leader of the 3rd Wing of the 12th Wing, all shouted angrily and ordered the troops to intercept it.
"Bang, bang, bangโ"
At this time, Zhao Dabang mallet led the first battalion of cavalry, and also went around the front of the 2nd Brigade of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the horse swept past and shot.
Block the road of the Japanese army to the northwest to encircle.
"Stop moving! Immediately take the line defense, take the line defense! โ
At this time, the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the 18th Wing of the Japanese Army, Kazutaro Kazutaro, was bloodily killed by the cavalry's bloody charge on the artillery position, and all the artillery was destroyed.
Instead of ordering the troops to continue to charge, regardless of the harassment of the 213 cavalry of the cavalry battalion, he hurriedly ordered to defend on the spot.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot with them!"
The overjoyed Zhao roared loudly, and after the horse ran past the Japanese army, he pulled the horse and continued to shoot back.
"Rush!"
In just a few minutes, the 2,000 Huicheng army roared and ran through the northwest of the cavalry camp and rushed to the northeast corner of Langfang City.
"Yaga, you cunning bastards! Shoot, shoot, kill their cavalry! โ
Seeing this scene in front of them, Moji and Taro knew that because of their prudence (timidity), they had made a big mistake.
However, in the face of this fierce Qing army, he still did not have the courage to order a hard charge to intercept, so he had to shout and order the soldiers to aim at the Qing cavalry in front of him and shoot fiercely.
"Brothers, let's go; - Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law is here! โ
Seeing that all the Qing infantry had already rushed through this line, Zhao Dabang laughed and ordered the withdrawal of troops back to the city.
"Grandson, grandpa let's go, play next time!"
Zhao shouted a clamp on the horse's belly, looked at his bloody right leg, and laughed and rode away.
"Play again next time! Grandson! - Mallet, your daughter-in-law also has the credit of her brothers! โ
The northwestern men of the first cavalry battalion also laughed loudly and rode back to the city.
The entire Langfang battlefield suddenly fell silent.
Deathly silence!
