Chapter 478: Battle of Shandong (8)

Chapter 478: Battle Shandong

Less than five minutes after the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Yamada Wing, the rangers sent out to guard gave a signal, and a large number of Japanese cavalry were found two kilometers ahead, the size of which was about three divisions, but there were a large number of puppet troops mixed in, judging from the style of military uniforms, it should be subordinate to the national defense force of puppet Manchukuo.

Lu Jiang immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered the telegraph operator to immediately send a report to the large army of Aolige. Tian Jiro's mood at this time was extremely excited, this time to encircle and annihilate a cavalry division of Han Yunhua's department in China, it was sensational news after all. If it had been left two years ago, let alone encircling and annihilating a cavalry division in China, even if it was a group army that completely annihilated China, it would not have much impact. When that was not the case now, the team was also learning in the war, and it has become more and more difficult to deal with.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army led by **, due to their limited conditions and harsh living environment, it has also created a tenacious will to fight among the troops under the command of **, everyone is an expert in mountain warfare, from the beginning of the war to the present, the Japanese army has not encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army, and has also achieved great results, and the defeated Eighth Route Army troops are numerous. However, if we talk about the units of the Eighth Route Army that have been completely annihilated by the formation, there are also quite a few units at the battalion and company level, or even at the platoon level, and almost no regiments have been completely annihilated, let alone the entire division.

Coupled with the expansion of the achievements of Han Yunhua's department in the Inner Ng Ancient Military Region, the value of the entire army has suddenly doubled, and just two days ago, the base camp issued a high reward, whether it is a regular army or a militia, the head of a platoon commander is worth 20 oceans, the company commander is 50 oceans, the battalion commander is 200 oceans, the regiment commander is 1000 oceans, and the division commander is 10,000 oceans, and Han Yunhua himself is worth 100 oceans plus a hereditary marquis.

1 million oceans is nothing, anyway, as long as the ordinary soldiers who have served in China and returned home safely are not rich, let alone those officers, if an officer above the major general level has not made enough millions of oceans, he is really embarrassed to meet his family. Therefore, for the vast majority of officers, the yòò of the ocean is not big, but the title of hereditary marquis is fatal to the yòò of any officer. You must know that Japan still has a high opinion of these fictitious titles, no matter how high your status is, if you don't have a title to take, then you will never be able to really integrate into high society, and now most of the officers of the Japanese army have money, so what they pursue is more of these fictitious things.

Although Han Yunhua himself can't be done this time, if he can completely annihilate a cavalry division under Han Yunhua, and even take Xilinhot, then he doesn't dare to say anything else, and the promotion of the military rank can be guaranteed, thinking of this, Tian Jilang's heart is about to jump out. Thinking of the sound of "Your Excellency General" in the future, Tian Jiro was moved, and he couldn't wait to change into the coveted general uniform now.

Closer, less than two kilometers away from the Fourth Cavalry Division of Lujiang, Tian Jiro shouted loudly: "Speed up the charge and kill all the troops on the opposite side"

"Kill the enemy and give"

"Kill the enemy and give"

Lu Jiang is not a vegetarian, he came prepared, knowing that his troops are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of numbers and horses, so he is not prepared to fight to the death with the Japanese army, before the Japanese army came, Lu Jiang brought his troops to a gentle slope, although this gentle slope is not high from the flat land, but it still puts the fourth division in an absolute geographical advantage, and the Japanese army that charged the fourth division was in a disadvantageous position when charging on the back.

To be honest, Lu Jiang is still very uncertain about fighting against the Japanese army of more than 30,000 troops, although the Fourth Cavalry Division has fought against the Japanese puppet army before, but most of them are battles at the battalion and company level, and battles at the regimental level are rare, not to mention the big battles of tens of thousands of people.

The cavalry duel of tens of thousands of people is definitely a classic no matter what era it is placed in, and it is also a great battle. Most of the horses of the Japanese cavalry were excellent horses imported from West Asia or Europe, while most of the horses of the Fourth Cavalry Division were local horses on the ancient plateau, which were inferior in terms of running speed and size. However, the ancient horse is superior to its long endurance, and although the Japanese war horse is strong in combat, it is not suitable for long-distance running.

Therefore, the tactics formulated by Lu Jiang were designed to deal with the Japanese cavalry horses, he first concentrated all the troops on the side of the gentle slope, and placed the light machine gun battalion equipped by the cavalry division horizontally at the front of the troops, and ordered the machine gunners to open fire as soon as the Japanese cavalry entered the sè cheng.

Although more than 600 tǐng light machine guns are already the limit of the current situation of Lu Jiang's department, and this light machine gun battalion is indeed powerful, the firepower is definitely much greater than that of a single tǐng light machine gun. I saw that the Japanese puppet cavalry on the charging road kept falling and falling again, and the short distance of 500 meters was a line of death, and the picture seemed to be fixed at the point of 500 meters, as long as the Japanese puppet army dared to cross this line of defense, it would be solved by the machine gun battalion of the fourth division at the first time.

Lieutenant General Tajiro, who was also a tactician, saw that the frontal charge suffered heavy casualties, and immediately ordered the banner soldiers to give a turning order to the charging troops, and he ordered the main force to immediately turn to the sides of the Chinese cavalry position, leaving only a part of the puppet army to continue to attack the frontal position.

Tian Jiro's abacus was very loud, but Lu Jiang and others were not slow to react, and while the Japanese cavalry turned, the troops of the 4th Cavalry Division launched a charge towards the frontal battlefield with the least Japanese defensive forces. Although the puppet army is a puppet army, the puppet army in the northeast and the puppet army in the country are two different things, and the puppet army in the northeast is strictly controlled by the Japanese army, so it is far more difficult to deal with than the puppet army in the pass in terms of "loyalty" and combat effectiveness.

The Japanese puppet army attacking head-on was mainly dominated by the puppet army, so the fourth division soon tore a hole under the siege of the cavalry units of the puppet army. After the opening was torn open, the 4th Division rushed out of the Japanese encirclement like a tiger descending from the mountain, and rushed towards another prepared gentle slope.

The Japanese cavalry swarmed after them without Tajiro's order, and as before, the cavalry battalion of the Fourth Division stood at the front of the gentle slope, with its extremely strong nose already open, waiting for the Japanese charge.

Although this tactic looked like a scoundrel, it was very practical, and the Japanese lost five or six hundred men in two rounds, while the fourth division lost only a dozen men, and the angry Lieutenant General Tajiro shouted wow.

"Nakata-kun, your troops should also move, you quickly lead your troops to take down this branch of cavalry, I will hear the news of the annihilation of the branch cavalry in two hours, do you have any confidence?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, just watch, our cavalry independent into the Ninth Brigade will let the people of China know what a real knight is."

I have to say that there are indeed many groups with strong combat effectiveness in this era, if in terms of combat effectiveness, the Nazi soldiers in Europe are definitely the first in the world, from a spiritual point of view, although the French and the Yankees are the head of the fighting theory, but when it comes to life and death, they are afraid of death, and their psychological quality is not good, and they simply cannot carry the Nazis to the death under the condition that the strength and weapons are equal. The second is to count the ancient cavalry, but the ancient eternal is powerful, but they have not undergone very strict integrated training, some are still slaves, and the battlefield talks about collective charge, and does not pay attention to the training of individual qualities. Now Han Yunhua's department has carried out unified training for the ancient knights who have excellent cavalry potential, and it is they who have burst out with a combat effectiveness stronger than ordinary cavalry units, which is also the reason why Aurege dares to fight against the Japanese puppet army with 50,000 cavalry.
