Chapter 513: The cavalry fights the main attack
More than 1,500 people from the two brigades of the Yongxing detachment pinned down more than 500 reinforcements from the Japanese army, but they were unable to eat this Japanese army.
The operation in the former Huang'an Village is still going on, the armored battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the 9th Company of the 1st Pre-regiment and a brigade of the Yongxing Detachment are attacking the main force of the 1st Japanese Brigade in the former Huang'an Village to contain and attack the Japanese troops in the former Huang'an Village, and the mechanized artillery company of the armored battalion is focusing on suppressing the Japanese artillery.
It was past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was already slowly setting towards the west, but the fierce gunfire never stopped.
The second battle group, which was formed with the main force of the 1st Advance Regiment, the mobile combat group, the Yongxing detachment, the 129th Division, and one artillery company of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, continued the encirclement and annihilation operation against the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army.
The main forces of the two infantry brigades of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army have been pinned, and the third brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army is currently in crisis.
THE REMAINING STRENGTH OF THE JAPANESE ARMY WAS NOT VERY LARGE, AND UNDER THE PRESSURE OF SEVEN 82MM MORTARS AND FOUR TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS, THE JAPANESE LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS AND GRENADIERS ALMOST DID NOT DARE TO SHOW THEIR FACES.
Sun Weiguo held a telescope to observe the situation on the Japanese position all the time, and saw that the tunnel operation of Huang Gang's second battalion and cavalry battalion was about to be completed, and Sun Weiguo came to the front line.
Huang Gang, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, Ge Haifeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the new second brigade, and Chen Guitang, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment, came to Sun Weiguo's side one after another.
"This time the cavalry troops will attack the main attack, eleven artillery pieces will cover the shooting, the cavalry troops will charge quickly along the tunnel, the cavalry must be fast, destroy the Japanese defense system, and wait until the cavalry destroys the Japanese defense system, the infantry will rush over to finish, and the light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers must suppress the fire of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers."
Sun Weiguo waited until the three battalion commanders came to him, he squatted on the ground, and on the ground he drew a simple fortification of the Japanese army, and he pointed to the fortifications and whispered.
When Ge Haifeng heard that his cavalry troops were going to attack the main attack, he clenched his right hand into a fist, and an excited expression appeared on his face.
"Brigade commander, you can rest assured, our cavalry troops will definitely complete the task, just let's charge twice, the Japanese troops on the position will definitely be all dealt with, and the infantry will go directly to collect the corpses of the devil soldiers." Ge Haifeng swore solemnly.
The cavalry battalion currently has four companies, with nearly 700 troops, even if only two cavalry companies and more than 300 people are engaged in the battle this time, Ge Haifeng is still confident that all the Japanese troops on the position will be annihilated.
"Brigade commander, where is there a cavalry unit to fight the main attack, our infantry has already made the tunnel less than fifty meters away from the Japanese position, brigade commander, leave the main attack task to our second battalion." Brigade commander, if our second battalion can't take the position, I, the battalion commander, will not be able to do it. ”
After Huang Gang listened to Ge Haifeng's words, he looked at Sun Weiguo and said expectantly.
Originally, Huang Gang thought that the task of the main attack would definitely fall on the head of their second battalion, but after listening to Sun Weiguo's words, he felt very uncomfortable.
"I can understand your feelings, but I have already made a decision, the cavalry unit is responsible for taking the lead in launching an attack, destroying the Japanese defense system, and disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army.
Sun Weiguo looked at Ge Haifeng and Huang Gang, and gave the battle order in a serious tone.
"Yes, Brigadier." Ge Haifeng and Huang Gang nodded and agreed.
Chen Guitang, who was standing on the side, looked at Sun Weiguo, who was waiting for Sun Weiguo to deploy combat missions to the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment.
Seeing that the tasks of the main attack and assist had been allocated, Chen Guitang was very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak when Sun Weiguo gave the combat mission.
"Deputy Regiment Commander, what about the mission of our battalion?" Chen Guitang looked at Sun Weiguo and asked softly.
"When the infantry is done fighting, your cavalry battalion is on its way to the position." Sun Weiguo looked at Chen Guitang and said with a smile.
When Chen Guitang heard Sun Weiguo's words, the expression on his face changed, and he naturally knew that when the infantry finished fighting, the battle here would be completely over.
"Battalion Commander Chen, okay, your cavalry battalion will charge with Ge Haifeng's cavalry battalion, and the cavalry troops will be commanded by you, but the cavalry battalion of the new second brigade will rush to the front."
Seeing that the expression on Chen Guitang's face had changed, Sun Weiguo softened his tone, and he said softly.
"Yes, Deputy Commander." Chen Guitang nodded, and hearing that Sun Weiguo had changed his mind, Chen Guitang couldn't help but show a happy expression on his face.
The temporary combat meeting began to end, and Ge Haifeng and other battalion commanders returned to their units one after another to get ready.
The cavalry began to arrange for horses to enter the tunnel, but the tunnel was not very large, so not all cavalry could enter the tunnel.
A cavalry company of the cavalry battalion of the new 2nd Brigade has begun to assemble in the tunnel, and another cavalry company has also begun to stand by, and as soon as the order to attack is given, they will quickly attack the Japanese position through the tunnel.
SEVEN 82MM MORTARS AND FOUR TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS BEGAN TO COVER THE JAPANESE POSITIONS, AND ONE BY ONE THE SHELLS HIT THE JAPANESE POSITIONS, THE SOUND OF SHELL EXPLOSIONS RANG OUT ONE AFTER ANOTHER, SHRAPNEL FLEW EVERYWHERE, AND ALL THE DEVIL SOLDIERS WERE SUPPRESSED BY THE SHELLS.
The shelling lasted ten minutes, after which the shells began to extend, and Sun Weiguo began to give the order to attack.
The cavalry units of the cavalry battalion of the new 2nd Brigade began to charge, and the horses moved quickly in the tunnel, and when they reached a place less than 50 meters away from the Japanese position, the cavalry began to jump out of the trench, and the horses quickly ran towards the position, and the cavalry on the horses brandished their sabers and quickly approached the Japanese position.
The devil soldiers began to shoot, and one bullet after another quickly hit the cavalry, and the first few cavalrymen were hit by the bullets and fell to the ground.
The cavalry fell from the horses, but the cavalry behind quickly urged the horses to quickly approach the Japanese position.
A Japanese shooter set up a crooked light machine gun, and the light machine gun began to fire, but the light machine gun did not shoot for long before it was fired by the light machine gun shooters of the second battalion, and the Japanese shooter was shot and killed, and the light machine gun fell into the trench.
More than 100 cavalry began to rush towards the Japanese position, and Ge Haifeng, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the new second brigade, personally led the troops forward, Ge Haifeng brandished his saber and came directly to the Japanese position, the sharp saber directly cut the neck of a devil soldier, and the saber directly cut off the head of the little devil.
