Chapter 4 Let's start with an appetizer

It is no wonder that Harem Jun is so confident, the predecessor of the 26th Division was the mixed 11th Brigade of the Kwantung Army, and this brigade was one of the first Japanese troops to invade North China after the Lugou Bridge Incident. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But at this moment, Captain Toto, the captain of the division's communications team, hurriedly ran in from outside, and before he could even shout a report, he said loudly: "Your Excellency, division commander, Mazhuang emergency telegram!" ā€

Although Harem Jun was very dissatisfied with the reckless behavior of the communications captain from Hokkaido, he still held back his anger and said, "Nian! ā€

"Your Excellency Division Commander: Our unit has been attacked by unknown forces for more than an hour and a half since a quarter past 8 p.m., and the enemy's strength is more than ten times that of our army, and with the support of artillery fire from at least one company, our unit has suffered heavy losses. Now that all the fortifications on the periphery of the county have been lost, and the county seat is in danger, please ask His Excellency the division commander to immediately reinforce it! Captain Funato said quickly.

"Nani? Telegram to come! Harem Jun was shocked and stood up directly.

Todo didn't dare to slack off, and immediately handed the telegram to Harem Jun.

After reading this telegram, Lieutenant General Harem Chun slapped the desk hard, and at the same time roared angrily: "Baga, it's just a rice bucket, an infantry brigade only lasted an hour and lost the outer fortifications, such an officer is only worthy of feeding horses in the logistics department, this bastard must be withdrawn after this battle!" ā€

Lieutenant General Harem Jun knew that this bastard in his mouth had already gone to see their Aunt Amaterasu. But Harem Jun is right about one thing, that Sakurai Shaozo is really stupid enough.

After getting angry, Harem Chun calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and then said loudly: "Order: The cavalry units of the 11th Infantry Wing and the Divisional Search Team immediately reinforce Ma Zhuang." ā€

After giving the reinforcement order, Harem Jun said to Captain Donghu again: "Captain, immediately call back to the defenders of Mazhuang and ask them to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and the reinforcements will set off immediately, and it is expected to arrive in 5 hours." Before reinforcements arrive, they must hold the county seat at all costs, or let them all seppuku to repay His Majesty the Emperor! ā€

"Hay!"

The efficiency of the devils is still very high, especially in an emergency military situation like this. In just ten minutes, the defenders in Datong City were assembled, and the commander of the 11th Infantry Wing of the 26th Division, Sadao Dazuo, was immediately ordered to lead two infantry brigades of the headquarters and one cavalry brigade of the divisional search wing to immediately rush to the aid of Mazhuang County.

Due to the urgency of time, Sadao Daisa ordered a Nakazo to lead 600 cavalry men in his headquarters first, while he himself followed behind with two infantry brigades totaling more than 2,300 people.

First, because the cavalry is much faster than the infantry, the cavalry can act as a pioneer for the large army in the front. Second, because the military situation on the Mazhuang side is urgent, the cavalry can take the lead in rushing to the battlefield to participate in the battle to reduce the pressure on the defenders.

On a mountain road outside Mazhuang County, a large number of fortifications and bunkers have been built on the slopes on both sides, and this is the case on the two-kilometer-long slopes.

This is the ambush position chosen by Xuanji, in addition to this position, Xuanyi also chose to build a large number of fortifications on another road five kilometers ahead, and there is the second ambush position selected by Xuanji. Anyway, there are many mountain roads and ravines on the way from Datong to Mazhuang County, and there are many good places to ambush.

The reason why Xuan Er arranged it was because he already knew the devil's marching arrangements, and knew that there was a cavalry of more than 600 cavalry galloping towards Mazhuang. It was immediately decided to set up an ambush to annihilate this cavalry first, and then attack their infantry.

Of course, all this is due to the fact that the devils in Datong City are constantly in contact with the "defenders" of Mazhuang, so the devils' actions are clear.

At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, the vanguard of the devil cavalry finally appeared in the sight of Xuan Er and the others. This is a strong cavalry, although the number is only about 600 people, but the momentum of running seems to be thousands of horses.

At the head was a strong ensign, who held a flashlight in his hand in addition to his saber, and ran as he lit the way for his warhorse.

Because it was too dark, and this was a mountain road, it was rugged and difficult to walk, so the speed of the cavalry was not very fast.

Kenji motioned for the warriors to be quiet and ready to fight.

As the commander of this cavalry unit, he is now very angry. A group of beautiful nurses have just been sent to China, and he has already made an appointment to go to the field hospital with someone in the evening. But he didn't expect to receive an order to reinforce Mazhuang as soon as he entered, and because the troops were assembled a little late, he was also reprimanded by Dazuo, which made him very shameless.

So he has been holding his breath along the way, he wants to rush to Mazhuang County as soon as possible, use his katana to completely destroy the will of the Chinese soldiers to resist, let the despicable people who don't know how to fight a fair duel tremble under the hooves of the horses, and appreciate what is the style of chrysanthemum and knife.

Of course, he naturally didn't expect that there were more than 2,500 Eighth Route Army ambushes on the gentle slopes on both sides of the mountain road, and if he knew, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry anyway.

When all the devil cavalry walked into the ambush circle, Genji took the lead in pulling the trigger and shot the cavalry lieutenant who was walking in the front in the head. The sound of gunfire is the sound, and as long as the gun is fired, it is equivalent to giving the order to fire.

So, the fighters lying in ambush on both sides of the hillside opened fire at the same time, and light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and grenadiers fired at the invaders together.

The devil was suddenly attacked, and he was in chaos for a while, and the cavalry itself was a super-large target, and there were countless casualties in an instant.

As the fierce fire of the Eighth Route Army poured angry bullets, the devils in the middle of the mountain road flew with a puffy blood mist, and the corpses were thrown high and then fell to the ground fiercely.

The devil's Nakasa is crying! The cavalry units are also crying!

In order to increase the firepower, Wang Lung deliberately ordered people to strengthen the weapons of the troops. In addition to the light and heavy machine guns originally equipped, Wang Lung asked Jiang Ping to transfer more than 100 light and heavy machine guns from the devil's arsenal to supplement the troops.

Now there are more than 220 light and heavy machine guns on both sides of the hillside, what kind of concept is this, let's put it this way, take the Fifth Division, which has the strongest combat effectiveness of the devils, for example, a first-class division with a rated establishment of 28,000 people has only 350 light and heavy machine guns.

The two infantry brigades in the second district of Xuan were equipped with 220 light and heavy machine guns, equivalent to 70% of the firepower of the Fifth Division. With so much firepower fired at the same time, the effect was absolutely stunning. More than 220 tongues of fire suddenly tore the devil's cavalry troops apart, and the devil's cavalry couldn't even control their horses, and they were killed and wounded in just a few minutes.

At this time, Xuanji ordered the trumpet to be sounded. For a while, the gray figures all over the mountains rushed to the bottom of the ravine, and Yishui was a light machine gun to open the way, and all the devils who dared to resist in front of them were all beaten into a sieve.
