Yu Jinming, the commander of the third cavalry regiment, rushed to the front brandishing his saber, and a determined expression appeared on his face.
A dozen cavalrymen quickly began to make a detour from the flank, but before the dozen or so cavalrymen could get close to the Japanese heavy machine gun position, they were directly hit by the Japanese riflemen.
In order to hold back the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the troops of the Third Cavalry Regiment paid a great price for casualties, but these cavalry units of the Jin Sui Army under the leadership of the regiment commander Yu Jinming did not flinch, and every cavalry fought desperately.
At half past five o'clock in the morning of the 24th, the troops of the first battalion of the 1st Regiment of Honor broke through the position of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the troops of the 1st Battalion broke through the position of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army and quickly launched an operation towards the Weiyanjian Heights.
At the same time, the main force of the Honor First Regiment was led by the regiment commander Qin Xianliang to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese 128 Brigade and contain the Japanese 128 Brigade troops.
It was at this time that after more than 20 fierce attacks and more than 700 casualties, the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment of the Jin Sui Army entered Baijiazhuang Town, and at this time, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment forbade the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army to approach Baijiazhuang Town, and they had paid the price of more than 500 casualties.
"Tuanza, retreat, if we don't retreat, we will all be annihilated." The chief of staff of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment came to Yu Jinming and shouted.
"Tuanza, we really can't continue to fight, if we continue to fight, we will be wiped out." At this time, a battalion commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment also came to Yu Jinming.
"If you want to go, you go, I can't go, if I leave at this time, the troops of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment will be in danger." Yu Jinming said in a firm tone.
"Tuanza, I'm sorry, I still have a wife and children at home, I don't want to die here." The regimental chief of staff said with a guilty expression.
After saying that, the chief of staff immediately left here, and after the chief of staff of the regiment took the lead in leaving, the third cavalry regiment had more than 200 people evacuated.
The troops of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment originally had more than 500 casualties, and with the departure of more than 200 people, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment had only more than 300 cavalry.
Yu Jinming wiped the blood stains on his saber, and he looked at the last three hundred or so cavalrymen, with a determined expression on his face.
"Brothers, they all say that our Jin Sui Army is a bad coward, I think this sentence is wrong, there are bad breeds in our Jin Sui Army army, but there are also iron men. The little devil came to Shanxi, most of Shanxi fell into the hands of the little devil, this is our shame, a few months ago I went home, the old lady asked me, can she return to her hometown in her lifetime, to see my father's tablet, I don't know how to answer her. We have lost too many counties, but what we have lost the most is courage. Today we are going to tell the Sanjin fathers that what the Eighth Route Army can do, we can also do. The shame of our past can only be washed away with blood. ”
Yu Jinming held the saber tightly in his right hand, he looked at the more than three hundred cavalrymen, he showed a firm expression on his face, and said in an extremely serious tone.
"The Third Cavalry Regiment, rush with me."
Immediately afterwards, Yu Jinming gave a combat order, and he was the first to rush towards the devil soldiers.
At this time, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army had begun to attack, and they had already obtained a force of the Jin Sui army that had entered the town of Baijiazhuang.
The commander of the 15th Brigade was extremely worried about the safety of the division headquarters, so even if there were cavalry troops on the opposite side, he still chose to let the infantry charge.
The Japanese infantry and the cavalry of the Jin Sui Army began to collide together, and the cavalrymen brandished their sabers and kept stabbing at the body of the devil soldiers.
The machine-gun positions set up by the Japanese in the rear began to strafe, and bullets were accurately fired at the cavalry.
At this time, the sky had begun to brighten, and the archers of the devil soldiers could clearly see the cavalry on their horses.
A cavalryman began to fall from his warhorse, and when Yu Jinming saw this scene, his face was full of pain.
Holding the saber in his right hand, he stabbed directly at a Japanese captain squadron leader, and the sharp saber easily slashed the neck of the Japanese captain squadron leader, and the Japanese captain squadron leader was killed on the spot.
But at this time, more than a dozen Type 92 heavy machine guns quickly hit Yu Jinming.
Yu Jinming was hit in the chest by five bullets, and Yu Jinming immediately began to fall from his horse.
At 5:40 a.m. on September 24, Yu Jinming, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Jinsui Army, was unfortunately shot and died while leading his troops to block the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army.
At half past six in the morning, the troops of the first battalion of the first regiment of honor cooperated with the troops of the fifth detachment of Weiyanjian Heights to open a gap, and more than 600 people of the fifth detachment immediately began to break out.
The county seat of Wutai County, the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division, is in an underground bunker.
Sun Weiguo was lying on the bed, Liu Qian was taking care of Sun Weiguo on the side, although Sun Weiguo was very weak now, but Sun Weiguo still did not rest, he was anxiously waiting for news from the front, he wanted to know the situation of the frontline operation.
Especially after the troops of the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Jin Sui Army began to go to Baijiazhuang Town, Sun Weiguo began to worry about this matter.
Sun Weiguo knew the combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui Army very well, and asked the two regiments to go to Baijiazhuang Town to fight, but Sun Weiguo was also very helpless.
"You can't go on like this, you better rest for a while, your body can't stand it at all, you better rest for a while, I know you are waiting for news from the front, I promise you, as long as there is news from the front, I will definitely notify you immediately."
Liu Qian looked at Sun Weiguo, her pretty face was full of worry, she looked at Sun Weiguo and said.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, Liu Qian, I'm okay here, you go take care of the other wounded." Sun Weiguo said calmly.
When Liu Qian heard Sun Weiguo say this, her eyes were red, she glanced at Sun Weiguo, and tears began to flow from the corners of her eyes.
"Sun Weiguo, you are too much." Liu Qian cried, and she ran straight outside.
At the same time that Liu Qian ran outside, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong immediately came to Sun Weiguo with a telegram, and Zhao Lerong had a solemn expression on his face.
It's just that when he saw Liu Qian crying and running out, Zhao Lerong's footsteps couldn't help stopping, and he looked at Sun Weiguo with puzzled eyes.
In order not to affect Sun Weiguo's rest, Zhao Lerong and the others all left here, leaving Liu Qian to take care of Sun Weiguo.
"Chief of Staff, is there anything going on?" Sun Weiguo saw Liu Qian crying, he felt very uncomfortable, but after seeing Zhao Lerong, he knew that Zhao Lerong must have come to report the situation on the front line.
