Chapter 187 By the Ziya River
The cavalry company was equipped with all the 20th Cavalry Wing of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, with one-color "32-type" cavalry sabers, "44-type" cavalry guns, and two heavy machine guns for cavalry, and each squad also carried a Type 96 light machine gun, a grenadier canister, and several explosive bags.

The "three-two" saber has two models: A and B. The "Type A", also known as the "Long Body Type", has a total length of 1.002 meters and a total weight of 1.35 kilograms, and is used by the Japanese cavalry, while the "Type B", also known as the "Short Body Type", has a total length of 0.92 meters, and is used by the Japanese military police and army non-commissioned officers. The difference between the two types of sabers is that type A is 8 cm longer than type B. In addition, there is a leather "finger hanging" inside the fist guard of the type A saber.
Although the length of the gun is much shorter than that of the 38-type cavalry gun, the effective firing range is inexplicably 40 meters longer than the 460 meters of the 38-type cavalry rifle, and the shooting accuracy is also high, the bayonet is 35 centimeters long, triangular pyramidal, and folding. On the march, the bayonet is folded inward under the barrel. When in use, press down the spear spur to make the spear spur open from the bottom to the front into a combat state, so that it is convenient to attack on horseback immediately after shooting.
Some people also call the 44 type cavalry gun a carbine. It's just that the carbines of the Japanese army are manual bolts, which are different from the automatic and semi-automatic carbines produced later in the United States and European countries.
The general Japanese cavalry units did not carry grenadiers and Type 96 light machine guns, for fear of affecting the mobility of the cavalry. Only the cavalry brigades of the Japanese army had a special cavalry artillery wing to strengthen their firepower.
The reason why the cavalry company of the advance brigade let each squad carry Type 96 light machine guns and grenadiers was because the cavalry company had been established for a short time, had insufficient training, and could not afford to lose money, so it was necessary to avoid white-knuckle combat in cavalry duels as much as possible. That is to say, the cavalry company of the advance brigade is actually a cavalry company, and the emphasis is on using the characteristics of the cavalry's strong mobility, so that when fighting, it can occupy the position first and fight quickly and withdraw quickly.
This shows that in terms of cavalry combat effectiveness alone, there is a gap between the cavalry company of the advance brigade and the Japanese cavalry for the time being.
Carrying a 44-style cavalry gun, holding a 32-style saber, wearing a Japanese military cap, wearing a Japanese military uniform, wearing Japanese horse boots, playing Japanese leggings, the vanguard holding a sun flag, and a color Oriental war horse under his crotch, this is completely an elite Japanese cavalry unit!
Seeing Xiao Siming coming with Yan Rouchi, Wu Peng, the deputy commander of the cavalry company leading the team, grabbed the horse's belly between his legs, greeted him, stood 10 meters in front of Xiao Siming, and roared loudly: "Report to the captain: The cavalry company is ready to go, please instruct!" ”
This is to go to war, the secrecy is strong, and Huang Hua, who stayed in Ningjin City, did not come to see him off.
Xiao Siming's body was straight and straight, his eyes slipped towards the cavalry, and then he said lightly: "Let's go!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Siming clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the jade lion horse jumped out in the lead, leading the cavalry company and heading north.
The Japanese army has a special railway wing, a railway operation team, and a railway factory, and the advance brigade destroyed the railway in the Lianzhen section last time, and the devils are rushing to repair it very quickly. In just three or four days, the Lianzhen section of Jinpu Road has been reopened to traffic.
Xiao Siming originally thought that the Lianzhen section of the railway would be so completely damaged, and it would take ten or eight days for the little devil to resume traffic, but he didn't expect that the efficiency of the Japanese railway operation team was quite high, and when he led the cavalry company to the Ziya River Railway Bridge near Majiazhuang in Qingxian County, there was a train speeding by on the railway.
What annoyed Xiao Siming was not only the fact that the Japanese army was rushing to repair the railway, but also that there were many things to worry about. One of them is that he led the cavalry company from Ningjin City and went all the way north, as if he had entered a no-man's land!
Needless to say, the Japanese puppet army in the stronghold, Xiao Siming must have bypassed those strongholds in order to conceal his whereabouts.
What made Xiao Siming angry was that those miscellaneous armed forces, usually under the banner of resisting Japan, levied grain and distributed money, extorted the people, and really had a Japanese cavalry of 100 people passing through their defensive areas, these miscellaneous armed forces and militia groups and landlord armed forces in the name of defending their hometowns, the vast majority of them were fleeing, and those who could not escape were closed, and some of them also held plaster flags that were prepared for unknown times, and sent people to contact and entertain the imperial army for food and lodging.
With these miscellaneous armed anti-Japanese forces, the year will be wrong!
If it weren't for the need to conceal his whereabouts, Xiao Siming would only think about reorganizing or disbanding all these miscellaneous armed forces, saving them from blackmailing the people!
Another thing that annoyed Xiao Siming was Yan Rou's affection!
Yan Rou is the eldest lady of the Yan family, she is not very old, but her mind is exquisite, meticulous and meticulous. After being rejected in Xiao Siming's office in Ningjin City, he cried and said things like knives, which was a bit unreasonable. Now calm down, riding on the horse, hugging Xiao Siming's waist, the two jade * peaks on his chest rubbed on Xiao Siming's back from time to time, and the virgin fragrance on his body floated into Xiao Siming's nose as if it were nothing, which made Xiao Siming feel ape from time to time, and the thing under his crotch raised his head and eyes from time to time, affecting the galloping of the horse.
That's not all, when camping, Yan Rou stopped crying, and no longer talked to Xiao Siming about marrying or not marrying, marrying or not marrying, and used the gentle and considerate kung fu of the woman's family, as long as she saw that Xiao Siming was free, she would serve tea and pour water, and even fetch water for him to soak his feet.
I'm afraid that the cadres and soldiers of the cavalry company can all see it, and Yan Rou, who is like a fairy, has taken a fancy to the captain and regards herself as the captain's daughter-in-law!
Yan Rou is so beautiful, and now she gets along with Xiao Siming on the eve of the Ming Dynasty, riding together on the march, making physical contact, and showing affection with her eyebrows. If it goes on like this, Xiao Siming himself can't guarantee that he will give her that night!
At this time, Xiao Siming realized that he was not really a good person, and he also had the common problem of being lustful for men in his bones!
No, I can't ride a horse with Yan Rou anymore, I have to think of getting a Japanese three-wheeled motorcycle and taking Yan Rou with a motorcycle. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later!
In case something happens, it's really sticky with Yan Rou, how can you have the face to see your sweetheart Mei Ying! She doesn't hate herself to death?
This is Xiao Siming's idea when he held a telescope and climbed on the side of the embankment of the Ziya River to observe the railway bridge!
It was the afternoon of April 2, Xiao Siming led the cavalry company from Ningjin all the way north, crossed Yanshan and Cangxian, and arrived at the Ziya River in Qingxian County, and then turned around and headed west, heading straight to the Ziya River Railway Bridge on Jinpu Road.
It's April 2nd, on the Taierzhuang front, our army has already closed the net, and the troops of the Sakamoto Detachment of the Fifth Division of the Fifth Division, which are going south from Linyi to reinforce the Seya Detachment of the 10th Division, are about to begin to retreat today, and the Seya Detachment is already in a desperate situation, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isotani, commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Nishio Shouzo, commander of the Second Army, including General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, is estimated to be going crazy, and must be sending troops south to reinforce it!
At this time, if the Ziya River Railway Bridge on the Jinpu Railway is blown up, hehe, the little devil will definitely be crazy again!
This is how it is to fight a war, it must be fought at key points! Xiao Siming was ordered to attack on Jinpu Road, pinning down the Japanese army in Pingjin and Tianjin, and could not quickly go south to reinforce Taierzhuang to fight, if the cavalry company was used to ambush the small patrols and search teams of the Japanese army, or knock out a few small strongholds, it would also have an effect, but the effect was not great, and it could not affect the reinforcement speed of the large Japanese army. If the railway bridge over the Ziya River is blown up, the effect will be great, not only can it most effectively delay the reinforcement speed of the Japanese army, but also affect the Japanese army's transportation of ammunition supplies, not to mention the Taierzhuang Battle that is about to end victoriously, and it will have a great impact on the subsequent Battle of Xuzhou!
What Xiao Siming didn't know was that after he led his troops to attack and occupy Lianzhen, the Japanese army had already begun to deploy troops and prepare to go south to reinforce Taierzhuang.
This point is the butterfly wings instigated by Xiao Siming, who has crossed the soul, and quietly revised history.
Historically, it was only after the fiasco in Taierzhuang that the Japanese army began to mobilize troops and carry out the late operation of the Battle of Xuzhou.
Now because Xiao Siming's achievements in Lianzhen are too great, the Japanese army has been alerted and has deployed troops to reinforce Taierzhuang in advance. It's just that due to the destruction of the Lianzhen section of Jinpu Road, the speed of the Japanese army's deployment on the Jinpu Road was delayed, and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army was wiped out by Xiao Siming in Shanxi, which was waiting for replenishment, and it was impossible to quickly advance eastward to reinforce Taierzhuang, resulting in the Seya detachment on the front line of Taierzhuang still fighting alone as in history, and it was impossible to escape the fate of fiasco.
Holding the telescope and looking at it for a while, Xiao Siming turned around and asked Wu Peng, who was also holding a telescope to observe beside him: "Have you seen it clearly?" ”
Wu Peng whispered: "See clearly!" There is a large bunker and three small bunkers at each end of the railway bridge, which are quite strong. If you attack by force, you can only fight at night, and with the help of night cover, secretly move to the pillbox and blow it up with explosives bags and grenades. None of the other methods are easy to do, and the casualties are too great! ”
Wu Peng is telling the truth!
Because the cavalry company was going to the Jinpu Road to guerrilla, maintaining mobility was the first priority, so it did not strengthen the Gaoping dual-purpose artillery and battle defense artillery, and if it attacked, it could only be blown up with explosives bags and grenades!
Xiao Siming was a little puzzled, in the accumulation of knowledge in his mind, the northern section of Jinpu Road and Pinghan Road was very lax at this time. Like the bunker in front of you, according to records, it was empty during the day, there were no devils and puppet soldiers to garrison at all, only one or two sentries stood guard and patrolled, and at night, the Japanese army would enter the bunker.
But now through the telescope, the situation is fundamentally different from the historical record, and there seem to be devils in the large bunkers and dark bunkers at both ends of the railway bridge. The devils who stood guard by the railway were not one or two people, but there were Japanese mobile posts every 500 meters, and there seemed to be patrols.
Could it be that because Lianzhen was attacked and occupied, the little devils suffered too much loss, and they came over in a daze and strengthened the railway garrison? (To be continued.) )
