After being reminded by the political commissar, Zhang Cheng clearly realized that if he wanted to eliminate Hu Zongnan's first division, he must first defeat his cavalry regiment, but if he wanted to eliminate his cavalry regiment, it would not be possible to rely on a large number of people, because the cavalry's mobility was too strong, and as long as the cavalry regiment escaped a fish that slipped through the net, the plan to eliminate Hu Zongnan's south would fall short.

What method is needed to annihilate the enemy's cavalry? There is no doubt that it is a heavy machine gun!

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly ordered the cavalry regiment and the column heavy firepower battalion to set off immediately, and the cavalry regiment took on the task of luring the enemy to the ambush circle of the heavy firepower battalion and destroying the enemy cavalry regiment in one fell swoop.

Zhang Cheng, the main force of the column on standby in the Luochong ambush, also made temporary adjustments, the 1st Division and the 2nd Division switched positions, the 1st Division camouflaged troops advanced to the Luochong Valley Road, the 2nd Division was responsible for blocking Hu Zongnan's front road, and the 3rd Division remained unchanged and was still responsible for blocking the back road. Then Zhang Cheng also gave a special account to the ambush troops, paying attention to observing the enemy's reconnaissance troops, and never exposing the target.

After the deployment was completed, considering that the entrances and exits of the Luochong battlefield and the hillsides on both sides would become the focus of contention between the two sides, Zhang Cheng immediately moved the temporary headquarters of the column to the vicinity of Luochong to direct the battle nearby.

Xu Liangyu, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the First Division, was a native of Tonglu, Zhejiang Province, and his name was Liangyue. He graduated from the fourth political department of the Huangpu Army Military Academy and was a hardcore confidant of division commander Hu Zongnan.

It is not easy to become Hu Zongnan's hardcore confidant, because Hu Zongnan is a person who is very strict with his subordinates, and to become his confidant, he must meet four conditions at the same time: one is the Zhejiang Party, the second is Huangpu Sheng, the third is capable of fighting well, and the fourth is loyal to the chairman.

Despite the harsh conditions, Xu Liangyu stood out from a large number of competitors and won the trust of Hu Zongnan to take charge of the only cavalry unit under his command.

is very satisfied with being able to become Hu Zongnan's henchman Xu Liangyu, because Hu Zongnan himself is the henchman of the chairman, and he Xu Liangyu becomes Hu Zongnan's confidant, isn't that the henchman of the chairman's confidant? For a large number of officers of the Kuomintang, this is a road to heaven!

After accepting the task of reconnoitring the enemy's situation and opening the way for the whole division, Xu Liangyu still had his own ideas. He was not satisfied with the task of exploring the way for the main force of the division, if the time was ripe, Xu Liangyu wanted to command a battle by himself, defeat the red bandits by himself, and obtain battle merits.

In order to achieve this goal, Xu Liangyu first fully mobilized the troops, and told his cavalry brothers that the chairman of the committee had already offered a huge reward for the head of the red bandits, and as long as he could capture or kill a red bandit soldier alive, he would get five pieces of the ocean.

As soon as this reward was announced, the rough men from the Great Northwest were immediately stimulated to the eyes of the thieves, and they shouted for the group to hurry up and attack to catch the red bandits, and they all wanted to arrest the red bandits immediately to receive the reward.

"It is necessary to destroy the enemy's cavalry regiment and not let a single person slip through the net." This was Zhang Cheng's stern request to Zhang Fengming, chief of staff in charge of commanding these two units, before the cavalry regiment and the heavy firepower battalion set out.

The battle plan for destroying the cavalry regiment of the 1st Division was actually very simple, when the cavalry troops led by Xu Liangyu advanced towards Songpan, the cavalry regiment of the young column carried out a frontal attack on the main road it had to pass, lured the enemy deeper, and when the enemy entered the ambush circle, the heavy fire battalion crushed the enemy, and finally the cavalry regiment counterattacked and struck a blow to search for fish that had slipped through the net.

The scale of the Young Column Cavalry Regiment was not large, only 1,000 men and horses, which was half the number compared to the 2,000 men and horses of Xu Liangyu's department.

After the correspondent sent Zhang Fengming the report that the cavalry regiment had discovered Xu Liangyu's troops, Zhang Fengming immediately entered the preset ambush position with more than 400 people from the heavy fire battalion.

After waiting for 20 minutes in the concealed location, the correspondent transmitted the latest information that Xu Liangyu's unit was about to enter the preset position of our army.

"The heavy fire battalion is on standby, and it is strictly forbidden to shoot without my order." Zhang Fengming saw two groups of dark cloud-like cavalry appear in his field of vision from a distance.

Xu Liangyu's cavalry regiment was very fast, and when the troops had just arrived at Anhong Township on the main road, they suddenly remembered the gunfire like popping beans in the distance.

"Tuanza, I met the cavalry of the red bandits on the road ahead." As expected, the spilled Tanma quickly returned to report to Xu Liangyu.

However, the suspicious Xu Liangyu frowned, thinking that this red bandit's courage was too big, and he dared to fight him on the road, could it be a fraud?

He hurriedly asked, "How many red bandits are there?" ”

Tanma immediately replied: "There are about a thousand people, and they all use Mauser rifles, and they have a lot of firepower. We hurt a lot of brothers at once. ”

"More than a thousand red bandits!" When Xu Liangyu heard that the number of red bandits was actually one thousand, his eyes lit up, and he had already made up his mind in an instant, he must annihilate these red bandits, and there were a thousand red bandits, which was enough to make a contribution.

When Xu Liangyu led his troops to the front battle area, he saw a group of red bandits in gray military uniforms in the distance retreating in an orderly manner, and there were thirty or forty people lying in the open space in front of them, and the casualties were all Xu Liangyu's cavalry.

Xu Liangyu's heart was slightly cold, this red bandit has accurate marksmanship. He raised his binoculars, and saw that the cavalry of the red bandits was dividing into two roads, covering in an orderly manner, and retreating in the direction of a low dirt slope on the side of the road.

Beyond the dirt slope, there is a mountain forest. Once the cavalry of the red bandits rushed into the mountains and forests and scattered and fled, Xu Liangyu's cavalry was really difficult to chase.

"Catch up immediately, don't let these red bandits escape, those red bandits are all in the ocean!" Xu Liangyu ordered.

The cavalry of the 1st Division was also the first-class elite in the Central Army, and after being suddenly attacked by the Young Column Cavalry Regiment, they quickly stabilized their position. Under the command of Xu Liangyu, the 2,000 cavalry troops immediately chased after them like thunder.

The black-pressed cavalry kept an extremely neat line and swept across the mountains and fields, pursuing the red bandits. The horses under the cavalry regiment of the first division are all Mongolian horses on the northwest grassland, and the speed is definitely much faster than the southwest horses of the red bandits, with Xu Liangyu's experience, it will be possible to catch up with the red bandits in more than ten minutes, as long as they catch up with them, they can use the tactics of group charge to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.

"The enemy has taken the bait." Zhang Fengming nervously watched the actions of the enemy cavalry regiment through the binoculars, in fact, he was also very weak in his heart, this was the first time he led his troops to fight the cavalry troops, and he didn't know what the result would be.

The only thing he could do now was to sort out the entire battle plan over and over again, and when he found that there were no mistakes, he was a little relieved.

Wang Hu led his troops to retreat faster under the pursuit of the enemy cavalry regiment, and felt the vibration of countless horses' hooves hitting the ground from behind, which was very shocking.

Of course, the biggest impact is not physical, but psychological. The retreat procession, which was originally extremely orderly, began to become chaotic as the retreat speed accelerated, and the queue could no longer be maintained.

Wang Hu hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Don't mess up, don't mess up, don't mess up." ”

However, at the sound of his shouts, the ranks accelerated into confusion, and each cavalry warrior spurred the horses under him with all his might, as if in this way they could move farther away from the enemy behind.
