"A few tufts!"

In the dark night, with a howl after Junichi Watanabe drew his saber, the officers and men of the Japanese cavalry wing began to speed up their horses and charge. www.biquge.info Speed was the most advantageous weapon of the cavalry against infantry in field battles, and the Japanese were clearly experts in this regard.

The sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves sounded like rolling thunder, and the large black shadows in front of them were getting closer and closer, and the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion lying on the high ground clearly felt the tremor on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a "snap" of a gunshot, but there were soldiers on the battlefield who couldn't suppress the nervousness in their hearts, and panicked and pulled the trigger of the gun in their hands in advance.

"His grandmother's, which bastard started the fire first?" Although Nie Changgui was scolding with some annoyance, he didn't care who this daredevil was at this time. All his attention was now focused on the Japanese cavalry that was getting closer and closer. With the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, his mind kept estimating the distance between the two sides.

1500m, 1400m, 1300m......

"Mortar, fire!" Nie Changgui yelled and ordered at the six mortars about thirty meters behind. These are the only few artillery guns in the whole battalion now, they were originally equipped with more than two dozen 60mm mortars, but because most of them were not unloaded on the landing field, there is only one platoon that can be brought here.

The Japanese cavalry attacked with nearly half of the strength of the whole wing to form the first wave of charge, and the rest were used as follow-up troops, closely following the first wave about 200 meters behind. Although a few shells accurately landed in the Japanese cavalry group, it now seems that they did not have much effect at all. The sound of the explosion was quickly drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and the Japanese cavalry was still howling and charging. Almost instantly, the distance between the two sides was shortened by more than four hundred meters.

"Machine gun, fire!" Nie Changgui issued the command again. At this time, the third round of mortar fire was also underway, and with the start of light and heavy machine gun fire, the cavalry group that was gradually approaching finally showed no small damage.

Caught off guard, although the Japanese cavalry was beaten on their backs, they did not get confused after reacting. With good military qualities, they quickly skillfully manipulated the horses under their crotches, avoided their fallen companions, and constantly maintained a state of acceleration. Because they know very well that only in this way can they avoid greater casualties, and can they charge as soon as possible to deal with the enemy in front.

"Rifle, hit! Machine guns, free fire! Nie Changgui gave the order loudly again.

The sound of machine guns and rifles finally rang out, but the speed of the Japanese cavalry was getting faster and faster. Almost after the soldiers of the second battalion had just finished firing the ten rounds of ammunition in the semi-automatic rifle magazine in their hands, the figure of the Japanese cavalry company with men and horses approached them!

Compared with other armies of the same era, the firepower of the KPA is indeed fierce enough. However, the absolute numerical disadvantage of the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion cannot be compensated for by firepower. Waves of charging cavalry can't be killed, and the machine gunners don't even have to aim, they just pick the trigger according to the black shadow in front of them. But even so, it still couldn't stop the Japanese attack!

Without waiting for the battalion commander to give an order, the officers and men threw grenades one after another. This means that the Japanese cavalry is now approaching thirty or forty meters in front of the position.

・・・・・・

When Yang Yuting rushed to the north of the small plateau with the third battalion, the battlefield between the two sides had become a de facto stalemate, and he could only hear the sounds of fighting and roaring all over the mountains in front of him.

"Spread out on the spot and prepare for battle!" Yang Yuting, who was in a hurry, immediately gave an order.

Seeing this, the commander of the third battalion hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Regiment commander, you go down, mortars and heavy machine guns are still behind, ...... over there"

"Next fart, you go, let the whole battalion of light machine guns and submachine guns gather for me, get ready, follow me!" Yang Yuting pushed away the third battalion commander who was speechless, and then reached out and grabbed the submachine gun in the hand of a soldier next to him, and rushed forward in the lead.

"Captain! Head! Looking at the regiment commander who had already rushed up, the third battalion commander jumped to his feet in a hurry. But now the sound of submachine guns has sounded in front of the team, and the regiment commander is in a hurry, and it is too late to say anything at this time.

"You listen to Lao Tzu, the head of the regiment has already gone up, immediately organize firepower and press the little devil down for me! Fast! After the anxious third battalion commander gave his subordinates harsh words, he also rushed to the high ground with his rifle and the flow of people.

The light machine guns and submachine guns in front of the third battalion began to sound continuously, and the soldiers used the guns in their hands to continuously pour bullets into the middle of the Japanese cavalry who had broken through the defense line on the high ground and were about to rush down.

Having just broken through the defense line of the 2nd Battalion and the attack of the 3rd Battalion, the joy of the Japanese cavalry breaking through the opponent's position vanished in an instant, after suffering much more fierce fire and blows than just now. In addition, the practice of the remnants of the Chinese officers and soldiers on the high ground who constantly pulled grenades and died with the enemy also disrupted the continuity of the shock, which was the most crucial in cavalry tactics, and the Japanese cavalry wing, which was unable to follow up, could only turn their horses and retreat from the positions they had just occupied.

On the high ground, Yang Yuting gasped and tore off the steel helmet on his head, and at this time he did not have the joy and excitement of regaining the position in his heart. Looking at the posture of the last fallen officers and soldiers of the People's Army on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel a heartache. What a warrior! When facing the ferocious Japanese cavalry, none of them turned around and fled. More than 400 people, a whole battalion of troops, just gone!

"Commander, Commander, I found it! Looking for ......" The third battalion commander ran over panting, but before he finished speaking, he was pushed to the ground by Yang Yuting: "Regiment commander, Nie Changgui is not dead, there are still fourteen in the second battalion, and there are fourteen ......"

"Get out! Fourteen? Lao Tzu wants 400! I fuck little Japan! Yang Yuting couldn't hold back any longer, buried his face in his hands and roared, his voice obviously choked and cried. For a battalion of more than 400 people, what difference does it make between having only 14 and not having one? These soldiers are all brothers who have been with him day and night for half a year.

How could the commander of the third battalion not understand the mood of the regiment commander? If it were him, if the whole company under his command were to become such a situation, he would definitely die of heartache, not to mention that now it is a battalion, a battalion! At this time, he also said with some tears: "Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander, the soul of our second battalion is still there, as long as there are people, he Nie Changgui can make another second battalion!" ”

"Go, notify the artillery battalion, let them set up a position for me in half an hour, and then contact the heavy artillery group behind me. Let's meet little Japan here! Yang Yuting quickly recovered. After all, he is still needed as the head of the regiment to preside over the situation, and this battle has just begun.

・・・・・・

"Watanabe-kun? Watanabe-kun! ”

King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya rode on his horse and began to shout in the middle of a group of cavalry. He had come to greet the victorious cavalry wing, but he didn't want to encounter a group of defeated soldiers, and it seemed that the defeat was quite miserable, and now the strength was only more than a third of the previous one. This surprised him at the same time, but also brought a little anger!

"Your Excellency, why are you here in person?" Junichi Watanabe saw Queen Kunihiko of Kurenomiya, and hurriedly pulled away from his relatives. King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya is from the royal family and his temporary governor, so Junichi Watanabe naturally does not dare to slack off.

King Kunihiko asked with confusion and a little anger, "What's the matter?" The cavalry wing did not annihilate the Chinese army? And it's still like this? ”

"Damn the Shina people, their reinforcements came up very quickly, we took a high ground, but we couldn't hold it. Your Excellency, we must not let the people of China ease their breath, and we should immediately organize an attack, only an attack can drive the army of China down the river! After explaining angrily, Junichi Watanabe suggested: "Your Excellency, at present, Long Yunli has fallen into the hands of the Shina army, and their equipment and supplies and a large number of reinforcements will soon land on the consolidated beachhead. Therefore, I suggest, you immediately organize an infantry attack. Let my cavalry rest before going into battle! The infantry and cavalry are attacking in turn, and I don't believe that I can't destroy the Chinese army! ”

Junichi Watanabe was a little annoyed, but more of a dissatisfied. The defeat just now was a little confusing, he was confident that his command was perfect, and the cavalry wing fully exerted its due attack power, but the firepower of the Zhina army was too strong, especially the reinforcements behind him came too timely, which made him pay a huge price. Now, only the infantry can attack first, and their own cavalry is raiding.

After weighing the pros and cons, King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya said, "No, Watanabe-kun, prepare to retreat!" ”

"Your Excellency, I'm ......" Watanabe Jun was shocked, but he was interrupted as soon as he opened a mouthful.

"Watanabe-kun, I know what you're trying to say. As you must know, the landing force of the Chinese Army has been established, and my soldiers have suffered heavy casualties under heavy artillery bombardment, and now it is simply not enough to launch an effective counterattack. King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya wrinkled his brows, he originally wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the People's Army and prepare to use cavalry to raid, but he didn't want to get the results now, but his own casualties were not small, which made him feel distressed to death when he was short of troops.

I only heard King Kunihiko of Kurenomiya say slowly: "What's more, General Nagaoka has already called back and agreed to my battle plan of relying on the terrain, sniping layer by layer, and waiting for reinforcements. The 5th Division, which had gone to Lushun, had already returned to reinforce Korea and was now on its way to Pyongyang, and our task was to delay the offensive of the Chinese army and buy more time for the reinforcements at home. So, Watanabe-kun, the samurai of the empire can not be sacrificed in vain. ”

After hearing this, Junichi Watanabe muttered for a moment, slowly nodded his head in understanding, and then followed King Kunihiko Kurenomiya to lead his subordinates to slowly begin to retreat.

The Japanese walked in a chic manner, but this was not good news for Yang Yuting, who was working hard behind him, as if he had punched the cotton.
