The officers and men of the special operations battalion and the rest of the 180th Division have all gone to the wall, relying on the advantage of the wall, blocking the Japanese attack.

Fortunately, there was barbed wire outside the town, and more than 50 Japanese soldiers rushed to the vicinity of the barbed wire, but all of them were blocked by the barbed wire, and they could not cross the barbed wire for a while. Taking advantage of this opportunity, half of the Japanese were killed by the machine guns of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the rest had to retreat.

The first wave of the Japanese army was unsuccessful!

Han Xing saw that it was not a long way to fight like this, and the Japanese army had a large number of troops, and it was absolutely impossible to fall in love with the war, so he ordered the special operations battalion and the guard company to cover alternately, and finally withdrew from Ping'an Town with a part of the 180th Division.

This part of the Southern Expeditionary Army and the 180th Division left Ping'an Town, and the little devils did not pursue. It seems that they are also afraid that it will be dark and fall into an ambush by the Chinese army.

Not far away, there was the neighing of horses, and needless to say, not far away, it was the cavalry units of Little Japan.

In a small grove, the Southern Expeditionary Army stayed, and Han Xing called Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan together to study countermeasures.

Han Xing calmly said to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan: "Let's talk about our location first, our location is probably in this area......

Han Xing asked Director Zhang to open the military map, the light pillar of the flashlight was covered with a black cloth, Han Xing pointed to the map and said: "Our location is in this place fifty miles north of the Changshoudian position. As for our main force, it has already been withdrawn from Suixian to this area according to the order...... They're safe, too. ”

Han Xing pointed to the west of the Xiang River, the area of Yicheng and said.

Han Xing continued: "The area we are in can be said to be quite complicated, with both the officers and soldiers of the 180th and 37th Divisions who retreated from the front line, as well as the follow-up troops of the Japanese army, as well as the cavalry of the devils. Further ahead were the troops of Li Pinxian of the Gui Army and the troops of Tang Enbo of the 33rd Group Army. Now, the devil's most powerful machine, and it can be said that the biggest threat to us is the 14th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army. ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan both looked into Han Xing's eyes and felt that the situation was indeed very serious.

Han Xing said to the two of them: "At present, we have such two situations, one is to be surrounded and annihilated by the 14th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese army, and eaten by it or other Japanese troops. The other is that we seriously deplete the 14 brigade, or defeat him. ”

Yin Zhaoli pouted incomprehensibly: "The 14th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army is so powerful, there are nearly 10,000 people alone, with our strength, how can we eat it." ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "I have already seen the weakness of the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army, that is, to use our tank battalion to deal with his 14th Brigade. ”

Hearing Han Xing's words, Yin Zhaoli seemed to understand a little, and said: "Well, it's interesting to take our tank battalion to deal with the Japanese cavalry brigade, it's interesting, it's interesting, I haven't seen such a battle yet." ”

Zhang Xiaosan also seemed to have woken up a little, and suddenly said: "Oh, I kind of understand, why didn't Commander Han lead us to retreat to the west of the Xianghe River, but led us to the devil's nest, did he think of this move a long time ago, just to use tanks to fight cavalry!" ”

Han Xing actually didn't think of this when he was retreating, because there was no way to retreat, that was to avoid the whole army being eaten by the Japanese army. The brain was thinking of retreating to the west of the Xiang River, but the road had been blocked by the little devils. Another point is that they did not hold their positions and withdrew to the rear, which is not good to say.

On the way to retreat, Han Xing thought of how to deal with the 14th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Han Xing nodded and said, "A tank battalion of the German army can defeat a Polish cavalry division. This has not been tried in China, can we try it tomorrow to see if our tank battalion is powerful, or the cavalry brigade of the devil is powerful, and whether it can defeat the 14th Brigade of the Japanese army. ”

Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan said almost in unison: "I agree." "I agree with that style of play."

Yin Zhaoli thought for a while, and then asked: "How can our infantry cooperate with tanks to fight, has Commander Han thought about this?" ”

Han Xing said: "Is it possible to do this?" When no cavalry was found, our tanks carried our infantry forward, which was faster. When the Japanese cavalry was discovered, the tanks were in front and the infantry were behind, so they attacked the Japanese army together, what was it? ”

"Good! Good! That's great. Yin Zhaoli clapped his hands and shouted.

Han Xing immediately said to Director Zhang: "Please use the radio to contact the tank battalion immediately, tell them the battle plan, tell them to bring sufficient ammunition and food, and tell them to assemble here before dawn." ”

Director Zhang shouted: "Yes! "Go and carry out the order at once.

Since the combat operations have been clear, the Southern Expeditionary Army has set up camp here, eats at night, rests, and prepares for a big battle tomorrow.

Han Xing lay quietly on a small mound, the best place, Zhang Xiaosan Teng gave Han Xing.

The fifth sister, Wang Xiu'e, came over and said to Han Xing: "Fourth brother, I want to sleep with you, they men, I don't worry." ”

Han Xing nodded and said, "There are no men and women on the battlefield, only warriors. Well, you just lie down next to me! ”

The earth is the bed and the sky is the quilt, the two look up at the sky, countless bright stars form a bright Milky Way across the sky, next to the Milky Way is the endless prairie, where there are sheep, tents, and horses galloping to their heart's content, and the horses will run along this vast and grand golden strip all the way to heaven. Suddenly, the horse burst into flames and fell swiftly with its long tail to the end of the earth......

Wang Xiu'e pointed to the bright star next to the Tianhe River and said to Gong Ren: "Do you know what star it is?" ”

Han Xing said: "I don't know. "That's Vega, you don't even know that."

Wang Xiu'e pulled Han Xing and said, "The Weaver Girl was rescued back to the Heavenly Palace by the Queen Mother, the Cowherd carried two baskets, and the baskets contained two children to chase closely, and they were about to catch up, and the Queen Mother saw that there was no way, so she pulled out the silver hairpin on her head and threw it away, and the silver hairpin suddenly turned into a wide heavenly river, blocking the way of the Cowherd......"

"Then I'm the Cowherd Star." Han Xing said.

Wang Xiu'e gently took Han Xing's hand and said, "How can the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl be separated, I hope we will never be separated......"

The woman's words are gentle, the woman's hands are also soft and delicate, and the fifth sister's hand, as if it contains an electric current, is flowing gently, slowly flowing into Han Xing's heart.

Wang Xiu'e said softly to Han Xing: "Maybe tomorrow, we won't have this opportunity, let's hold hands and sleep for a while!" ”

For the fifth sister's not high request, Han Xing did not refuse, the war is cruel, but tomorrow, there is really no such opportunity.

Han Xing gently grabbed Wang Xiu'e's warm and soft little hand.

Wang Xiu'e leaned forward again and said, "Fourth brother, you can sleep with me in your arms!" Maybe tomorrow, we'll ......"

For this request, Han Xing is not easy to refuse, the gun has no eyes on the battlefield, who can survive, it is really hard to say. This is the request of a young girl, this is the request of a living person who loves herself.

Hanhang really can't refuse.

Han Xing had no choice but to muster up his courage and hugged Wang Xiu'e's body, feeling that there was something soft, hot, itchy, crispy, and blood-like flowing through her hot body to herself, and then to her heart...... Han Xing couldn't help it, and suddenly hugged her body tightly.

The two of them hugged and hugged each other for three minutes.

Han Xing plucked up his courage again, and then pushed her away.

There is tenderness to be a man, but there must also be a bottom line of being a man.

Han Xing sat up slowly, trying to put aside the love affair in front of him, he still had a lot of things to consider. The brutal war made the feelings go away, and he had to concentrate on the matter of the 14th Brigade and filter it in his mind again.

The biggest gap between infantry and cavalry is the high mobility of cavalry.

Taking the Japanese cavalry as an example, the large unit of cavalry (wing, brigade size) can walk 40 to 60 kilometers a day, and the small unit (squadron, squad size) can walk about 80 kilometers.

And if the cavalry forced the march, it was not unusual to run 100 kilometers a day. For example, the Mongolian cavalry of that year, they generally had 2 or even 3 horses per person. When running long distances, I can run for 10 hours a day, and I can even run for 10 days in a row.

The infantry marches at a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per day, and in the dictionary of the US military, marching more than 50 kilometers a day is a forced march, which is rare in the history of the US military.

In the second battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 113th Division of the 38th Army of the Chinese Volunteers marched for 14 hours, marched 72.5 kilometers, and penetrated into Sansholi to cut off the retreat of the US 9th Army.

Obviously, the mobility of cavalry is more than twice that of infantry.

In addition to mobility, the powerful impact of the cavalry is also self-evident. The cavalry was on horse, and with the help of horses, the power of the knife and the bayonet were several times greater than that of the infantry.

Later, the cavalry of the People's Liberation Army, in the battle of exterminating the Mongolian bandits in Inner Mongolia, used ordinary sabers, with the help of horses, to split the enemy in half from shoulder to waist with one sword.

But cavalry was an expensive class of troops in ancient times, because horses belonged to large livestock in ancient times, and it was not easy to raise a horse for ordinary farming, let alone train a war horse.

The equipment of the cavalry is also not cheap, a complete set of equipment plus war horses is equivalent to the income of an ordinary peasant for at least 10 years.

The cost of heavy cavalry in Europe is even more staggering, one heavy cavalry is equivalent to the cost of 10 ordinary infantry equipment. Therefore, heavy cavalry is also an expensive class in Europe, and only a few knights can afford to play.

However, with the advent of heavy machine guns as a repeating weapon, and the breakthrough of artillery, especially howitzer technology, cavalry began to gradually introduce the stage of history.

Yes, the cavalry had all its advantages, but it still had a huge disadvantage, that is, the cavalry was too tall and a very obvious target on the battlefield.

After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's all-round army building work began, and the cavalry was naturally placed in an important position.
