Chapter 199: Ambush the little devil
Captain Shaosa did not realize what kind of consequences he would bring to his troops after changing Okazaki Kiyozaburo's order.
A squadron was quickly dispatched, this squadron was numbered 2nd Squadron, and the previous squadron was numbered 1st Squadron.
These two squadrons are the main squadrons of the second brigade, and sending their two main squadrons out, it can be seen that Captain Shaozo has great ambitions.
But Captain Shao Zuo didn't know that Huang Gang's first platoon of cavalry quickly retreated after making contact with the Japanese infantry squad, not that the first platoon of Huang Gang's cavalry was not an opponent, but their strategy, and their goal was to attract the Japanese to pursue.
According to Sun Weiguo's idea, the cavalry attacked, and quickly withdrew from the battle after giving a blow to the Japanese army, while Liu Jingnuma's guard company was responsible for breaking the rear.
The officers of the cavalry battalion also carried out Sun Weiguo's idea, but when the order was conveyed to Huang Gang, he gave a different opinion.
Huang Gang was born in the Northwest Army, don't look at him as a platoon commander at present, but Huang Gang is a brave and resourceful general.
He proposed to use the first platoon of cavalry as a bait to attract the Japanese to pursue, and then concentrate the main force of the cavalry battalion to encircle and annihilate the Japanese pursuing troops.
Huang Gang's idea is relatively bold, you must know that Sun Weiguo is very hesitant about this sortie.
Sun Weiguo was worried that there would be an accident in the cavalry battalion, but he still authorized the operation, and he personally led the guard company to dispatch.
Lu Ziqi, the commander of the first cavalry company, was a little appreciative of Huang Gang's plan, and after hesitating, Lu Ziqi reported directly to Chen Guitang.
After Chen Guitang reported to Sun Weiguo, the officers of the cavalry battalion felt that Sun Weiguo might not agree to Huang Gang's plan.
After all, Sun Weiguo is a bit of a fool in the independent regiment, and the things he makes decisions cannot be changed, and Sun Weiguo seems to be a little unable to listen to other people's suggestions.
But to Chen Guitang and other officers' surprise, when they reported to Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo urgently summoned Chen Guitang, Lu Ziqi, Huang Gang and others to his side.
After listening to Huang Gang's detailed report, Sun Weiguo made a decision on the spot to carry out the operation according to Huang Gang's plan.
They were surprised, especially Huang Gang, who made the suggestion, and couldn't believe what was happening.
These officers didn't know that Sun Weiguo was reflecting on himself, and he realized what his problem was.
Sun Weiguo felt that he had advanced military concepts several decades later, and Sun Weiguo was also very familiar with this period of history, so he always felt that there was no problem with his full command.
But after giving Liu Xi and others the order to stick to Naozhai Mountain, Sun Weiguo reflected on his own problems, and he felt that he should give his officers more opportunities to perform.
There are many talented people among these officers, and even though they do not have as many advanced military concepts as Sun Weiguo, they are still very good officers.
Sun Weiguo repeatedly warned himself in his heart that he must listen carefully to the suggestions put forward by these officers, so although he hesitated to use the cavalry battalion to attack, after Zhao Lerong and others told him, he immediately made a decision.
At the same time, after listening to Huang Gang's plan, he did not hesitate and agreed directly.
Sun Weiguo began to make changes, he began to make decisions in everything, and he gave his officers the necessary trust.
Sun Weiguo did not interfere in the cavalry battalion's operation this time, and at this time Sun Weiguo had already begun to set up temporary trenches in the V-shape on the high ground near Zhixi Town.
The people of Zhixi Town were also urgently evacuated by Sun Weiguo, and at present, the independent regiment has a high prestige in Pingding County, and the people are very obedient to Sun Weiguo's words.
Sun Weiguo set up a Makqin heavy machine gun at this time, and he looked ahead vigilantly, with a calm expression on his face.
Since Sun Weiguo gave the officers of the cavalry battalion trust, he naturally did not worry that the officers of the cavalry battalion would make mistakes.
Now what Sun Weiguo has to do is to cover the retreat of the cavalry battalion and prevent the Japanese troops from entanglement of the cavalry battalion.
Of course, there has not been any battle in front of it yet, and the guard company led by Sun Weiguo does not need to be involved in the battle at this time.
At this time, on the road near Zhixi Town, Huang Gang's cavalry platoon had returned to the main force of the first cavalry company.
Three cavalry battalions were deployed nearby, and the commander of the cavalry battalion, Chen Guitang, watched the Japanese army with a telescope.
A squadron of nearly 200 devil soldiers quickly chased after them, these devil soldiers were already in a combat state, and once they spotted the enemy, they would immediately start shooting.
The ghost soldiers are getting closer and closer, and these ghost soldiers can even clearly hear the sound of war horses chirping.
"Kill and give." The captain of the 1st Squadron of the Japanese Army felt that there must be the main force of the independent regiment in front of him, so he drew his saber and shouted loudly.
It was only at this time that the machine gun company of the cavalry battalion began to shoot under the command of the deputy battalion commander Zhao Wei.
Six Type 92 infantry guns began to fire grenade shots, and one shell after another quickly hit the Japanese troops.
Under the personal command of Zhao Wei, six Type 92 heavy machine guns launched a frantic strafing fire, and one heavy machine gun bullet after another poured towards the Japanese army like rain.
At the same time, three cavalry companies were dispatched at the same time, the cavalrymen brandished their sabers, they shouted loudly, and under the cover of infantry guns and heavy machine guns, they quickly rushed towards the devil soldiers.
The third company was ambushed on the right side of the Japanese army, and when Chen Guitang gave the order to charge, Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the third company, took the lead.
With his saber in his right hand, he quickly rushed towards the devil soldiers, who were facing shells and bullets, and they began to look for a hiding spot.
For the cavalry that was about to rush in front of them, these devil soldiers quickly installed their bayonets, and they looked at the cavalry vigilantly.
At this time, there was no time left to aim and shoot, the cavalry was very close to the devil soldiers, and the speed of the war horses was very fast, so they had no time to aim and shoot at all.
A second lieutenant of the devil soldier held his saber in both hands, and his eyes looked warily at one of the cavalrymen who rushed towards him.
The Japanese lieutenant was very calm, he looked at the cavalryman carefully, and if the cavalry showed the slightest flaw, he would slash the cavalryman with his saber.
The Japanese second lieutenant had bad luck, and the cavalry he encountered was none other than Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the third company.
Ge Haifeng was born in the cavalry of the Red Army, and he has more than ten years of cavalry combat experience, but at present, there are very few cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army, especially the newly established Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, almost all of which have no cavalry troops, and Ge Haifeng has always been used as an infantry.
This time, the cavalry of the puppet army surrendered, and the independent regiment had a cavalry battalion, Ge Haifeng directly reported and asked to come to the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment, even if it was an ordinary cavalry.
After being transferred to the cavalry battalion, after Sun Weiguo assessed Ge Haifeng, Ge Haifeng was appointed as the deputy company commander of the third cavalry company.
This time he fought against the Japanese army, but it was Ge Haifeng's first battle after serving as deputy company commander.
