Chapter 59: Fighting the Cavalry

Shen Wei was very suspicious of Sun Weiguo's confident expression, the trench was two meters deep, even the tallest soldier of one meter nine stood inside, and he couldn't see the situation outside.

She couldn't even see the situation outside, how to aim and shoot, Shen Wei began to worry in her heart.

Fan Shuming, who followed the third platoon to guard the position north of Nanzhuang Village, learned that the trench was dug by Sun Weiguo, and he began to sneer.

None of the warriors paid any attention to him, and they all carried a small chair and sat on it and chatted.

A big battle is about to begin, and the county brigade has a total of two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and a force of more than 300 people.

But their opponents were a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army and an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, totaling more than 2,000 people.

"Squadron leader, the Japanese puppet army has begun to set off from Chengguan Town, and the puppet army cavalry unit is the vanguard."

"Squadron leader, the puppet cavalry unit is less than three kilometers away from Nanzhuang Village, and they will arrive here soon."

"Squadron leader, the Japanese troops are carrying two artillery pieces and a lot of grenadier light machine guns."

The reconnaissance squad kept passing the news to Sun Weiguo, and through the report of the reconnaissance team, Sun Weiguo also roughly learned about the situation of the Japanese puppet army.

At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, and this time was the deepest time for people to sleep, and even the slightest movement was difficult to wake up the sleeping people.

The 3rd Cavalry Division of the Puppet Mongol Army acted as the offensive vanguard, and under the leadership of the division commander Zhang Jiannan, a thousand cavalry troops quickly approached Nanzhuang Village brandishing sabers.

The Japanese army occupied the northeast region, they formed the puppet state of Manchukuo and formed the troops of the Manchurian ****.

The Japanese army occupied the Mongolian region, they formed the puppet Mongolian state, formed the Mongol army units.

This group of puppet army troops is the descendant of Li Shouxin, deputy commander-in-chief of the puppet Mongolian army, Li Shouxin is not a Mongol, he is a Han, so he and his cronies are ostracized in the puppet Mongolian army.

Zhang Jiannan felt that the combat effectiveness of the local troops in Pingding County was definitely not very good, and it was late at night, and the local troops must be sleeping.

He also thought that his cavalry division rushed directly to Nanzhuang Village and directly cut off the heads of all the soldiers of the county brigade, so as to ask for merit and rewards from his Japanese master.

However, if his Japanese master told Zhang Jiannan about the annihilation of more than 300 Japanese troops by the county brigade before, I am afraid that Zhang Jiannan would not have the courage to make such a rash move.

The battle in Qingcheng was a shame for the Japanese army, and the Japanese army naturally would not disclose the news to the puppet army.

The cavalry division, led by Zhang Jiannan, approached Nanzhuang Village, and they were already less than a kilometer away from Nanzhuang Village.

"Brothers, rush into Nanzhuang Village, kill all the eight roads, the time has come for us to make contributions." Zhang Jiannan drew his saber and shouted loudly.

The cavalrymen drew their sabers, they shouted loudly, and then whipped their horses, and quickly approached the village of Nanzhuang.

"Prepare for battle." Sun Weiguo heard the shouts of the cavalry, and he immediately gave an order.

The fighters, who were sitting on small chairs, immediately stood up, stepped on them, and took aim with their rifles.

There were light machine-gun fire points throughout the trenches, which were light machine-gun cover points for each infantry squad.

As Sun Weiguo's order was delivered, the platoons immediately began to prepare for battle.

Zhang Jiannan was not a fool either, he knew that if a thousand cavalry charged from one direction, it would definitely cause crowding after entering the village.

He felt that the hooves of the horses and the shouts of the cavalry must have awakened the soldiers of the county brigade, and he felt that the soldiers of the county brigade must have just left the house to prepare for battle.

He divided the 1,000 cavalry into four parts, each with 250 cavalry, and they attacked simultaneously from all sides of Nanzhuang Village.

If Sun Weiguo hadn't gotten the news in advance, I'm afraid Zhang Jiannan's tactics would have succeeded.

The cavalry was swift and fast, and the encounter between the infantry and the cavalry was sure to be a mortal end.

But relying on the position to resist the cavalry, the infantry still had a certain chance of victory.

Calculating that the cavalry had reached less than five hundred meters from the trench, Sun Weiguo immediately shouted: "Fire the flares." ”

Three mortars began firing flares, one by one into the air.

In an instant, the dark night was as bright as day, and it was dark in front of it, but now it was bright.

The cavalry was exposed to the sight of the soldiers, and Sun Weiguo quickly pulled the trigger with a Type 38 rifle.

The sound of gunfire was the order to start firing, and the soldiers in the trenches began to shoot, and the light machine guns began to fire.

A rain of bullets shot towards the puppet cavalry, and dozens of cavalrymen were caught off guard, and they fell directly from their horses.

But the cavalry charge was fast, and even if there were casualties, the rest of the cavalry did not stop, they were still charging.

When the cavalry was two hundred meters away from the trench, Sun Weiguo immediately asked the soldiers to hide in the trench.

With grenadiers set up behind the trenches, a platoon of light machine guns began to fire, grenades exploded among the cavalry, and the accurate bullets of Czech light machine guns hit a famous cavalryman.

The wounded horses screamed, the wounded cavalrymen wailed, and their voices rang out.

Zhang Jiannan, who led nearly 300 cavalry to attack from Nanzhuang Village head-on, saw that he had lost nearly 100 cavalry, and his face became ugly.

But looking at Nanzhuang Village, which was close at hand, Zhang Jiannan was unwilling to give up like this, and he ordered the troops to continue the attack.

The cavalry was only a hundred meters away from the trench, and Nanzhuang Village was in front of the puppet army, and the puppet army had an excited expression on their faces.

But at this moment, the Makqin heavy machine gun in the bunker and the mortar in the village began to roar.

"Da Da Da ......"

Maxim's heavy machine gun began to fire, and bullets rained down on the cavalry.

Zhao Wei's Makqin heavy machine gun was less than 500 meters away from the cavalry, which was the best firing range for heavy machine guns.

One of the cavalrymen wilted like frosted eggplants, and their bodies fell to the ground.

They still had a chance to wail when hit by a light machine gun, but when they were hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, they all died on the spot.

Shells fired from the "Xiu" mortar began to explode in the cavalry, and the cavalry who had been hit by shrapnel howled wolf.

Zhang Jiannan saw that the Nanzhuang Village County Brigade had already prepared and the firepower was very strong, so he was the first to turn his horse's head and flee to the back.

The cavalry's charge was stopped, and the cavalry turned and fled, but they did not have the courage to continue the charge.

Sun Weiguo's design was very simple, 300 meters away from the trench, using trench light machine guns and rifles to shoot, 200 meters away from the trench, concentrated light machine gun platoon and grenadier squad for shooting, 100 meters away from the trench, using heavy machine guns and mortars to shoot.

Of course, this regulation has to be changed according to different situations, and rigid command will certainly cause heavy casualties among one's own troops.
