Chapter 16: The Demons Emerge

The task of luring the enemy is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do. The commander of the cavalry battalion personally took two hundred men and two hundred and fifty horses to carry out this mission. The remaining fifty horses, of course, were intended for the fighters of the reconnaissance battalion.

Do the Scouts ride horses? Definitely will, just not really cavalry to ride well. The scouts under Gao Quan, but they are all-round troops, let alone riding horses, even if they are given a truck, they can drive away.

With Liu Qi taking the lead, fifty scouts swaggered onto their horses and galloped along the May field with the cavalry. It is still very hot during the day, but the cool air comes down at night, and the cool wind blows away the heat of the day, and people who travel at night are in a much more relaxed mood.

Liu Qi's idea for the cavalry battalion commander was to shoot when he saw the devils on guard outside the village, and it was best to kill a few directly, and when the devils' troops gathered and ran out in pursuit, the cavalry retreated unhurriedly, and led the devils to our army's ambush position step by step. That's not a brilliant idea, is it? After listening to Liu Qi's clever plan, the cavalry battalion commander looked at Liu Qi several times in surprise. However, under the premise that he couldn't think of a better idea, Liu Qi's idea undoubtedly became the only course of action.

Because Shi Lei made the location of the Devil's Heavy Soldier Wing Headquarters relatively clear, the cavalry did not run any unjust road, and went directly to the village where the devil was. After a few miles, the horses ran away, and in a short time they arrived.

I have seen the village called Erdaohezi from a distance, there are dotted lights outside the village, and when I get closer, I see that under the light, there are devils walking back and forth. Devil Patrol! Liu Qi had too much experience in dealing with patrols, so he dismounted and sneaked over, as long as he took these fifty scouts, he could easily attack the village. Even he was sure that he took advantage of the darkness to take advantage of the devil's team headquarters! However, the protagonist of tonight is clearly not him.

When Liu Qi saw the devil patrol, of course the cavalry battalion commander, whose eyesight was no worse than him, also saw it. Will the infantry go after the cavalry at night? The cavalry battalion commander didn't have any bottom in his heart, he was not as confident as Liu Qi.

Whether he can run away or not is not a problem, in the heart of the cavalry battalion commander, how to make the devil feel at ease and boldly chase him out is the biggest problem. In order to further raise the fighting spirit of the devils, the cavalry battalion commander decided that it was better to fire closer to this distance.

The team slowed down, horses' hooves clattered, and slowly began to approach the village. The night in the countryside is very quiet, except for the occasional chirping of insects, only the sound of the devils themselves. The horses of the brigade approached, and the sound of the messy horses' hooves could be felt from a distance.

The devils at the entrance of the village obviously heard the hooves of the cavalry, and raised their guns vigilantly one by one. Suddenly, a devil shouted something in the direction of the cavalry, probably asking for a password or something.

The cavalry battalion commander shouted, and the horse team suddenly accelerated, rushing to a distance of two hundred meters in the blink of an eye, "Smack!" Smack! "The sound of gunfire startled the wild birds, and the firelight pierced the night sky. Several devils from the patrol team fell in response, and the village was in chaos! Shouts, whistles, gunshots, all of a sudden.

The cavalry battalion rode its horses and galloped, rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the devil, and after a random shot, turned around and drew an arc and left. Liu Qi hadn't seen the combat methods of the cavalry battalion yet, and today he could be regarded as having seen it. Dumbfounded, he hurriedly followed the ranks of the cavalry with his scouts. This kind of combat method is really not what he is good at, and it seems that the reconnaissance battalion will have another training subject in the future, riding horses and shooting guns.

The information Shi Lei got was true. Erdaohezi Village is indeed stationed in the wing headquarters of the Sixth Heavy Infantry Wing. Most of the baggage and materials of the 16th Division are also piled up in this village, and there is not only a wing headquarters in the village, but also a brigade of baggage soldiers!

After eating dinner, he was checking his accounts, and suddenly heard the sound of gunfire outside, and Nakasa was excited, and quickly put the account book in his hand and put it in the box. A devil guard ran in in a panic, "Report!" Your Excellency Nakasa, there is a group of unidentified cavalrymen outside, shooting at our patrol! Team Yamamoto requests for support. ”

Unidentified cavalry? Nakazawa gasped, it was already completely dark, since this group of unknown cavalry shot at him, it must be the army of the Chinese! The Chinese found here, then what is there to suspect, it must have come to rob his heavy supplies! Sortie? Don't be silly! They are baggage soldiers, and it is night now, and the other side is still cavalry! What if the other party played some trick, turned around and robbed him of his baggage? No in case, it's definitely a ruse!

"Order the Yamaguchi squadron to immediately reinforce the village entrance! Resolutely defend the entrance of the village and do not attack! Nakasa quickly gave the order. The entrance to the village must be defended, and it is resolutely not permissible to attack, and the task of the baggage wing is to be optimistic about the baggage, and as for the matter of fighting, will the 16 th Division still lack soldiers who can fight?

After Nakazawa gave the order, he immediately called the division headquarters and reported to the commander of the Nakajima division that he had been attacked here and asked for support! Anyway, he is the wing captain of the baggage army, and there is nothing to be ashamed of when he calls for support.

When Nakajima heard such news, he was also shocked. Now he is guarding against the 31st and 2nd armies of the squadron, and Tang Enbo and Sun Lianzhong are not easy to mess with. The 16th Division had just been outside Nanyang City and was blocked back by Sun Lianzhong, Tang Enbo was also moving from Zhenping to Xinye, and Lieutenant General Ogizhou was now engrossed in guarding against Tang Enbo's group army. There is an even more difficult Zhang Zizhong Group Army in the south, when has the squadron reached the Tang River?

Hurriedly took the map to compare, Lieutenant General Nakajima was still a little confused, and it was not time to think about anything now, so it was better to send reinforcements over quickly! Nakajima Imago didn't want his baggage supplies to be robbed by the ** team! Looking at the map, the closest is the 9th Infantry Wing of the 19th Brigade.

Inform Major General Tatsumi Kusaba and ask him to immediately give an order to Katagiri Goro Daisa, ordering him to immediately send a powerful unit to reinforce the Shozawa Wing, and make sure to keep the division's baggage.

After receiving the order, Katagiri Osa did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the third brigade, which was the bravest under his command, to Erdaohezi Village. This is not only the order of the lieutenant general, but also the vital interests of all units of the 16th Division.

Not only did he send out the 3rd Brigade, but Katagiri also ordered his 9th Wing to prepare for the march. No matter how poor the combat effectiveness of the baggage wing is, it is also a regular wing of the Japanese army, and the size of the squadron that dares to fight the idea of a wing is not small, in case the third brigade can't parry, the ninth wing can quickly run over to reinforce.
