The 76th Siege and Annihilation of the 14th Cavalry Brigade (4)

Sixiong Zheng thought about it for a while, and there was really nothing he could do at this time, so he had to say: "The Chinese Art of War says that when the two armies meet, the brave wins. At this time, we can only survive if we concentrate our forces and defeat the Chinese army in front of us. ”

Shixiong Zhengyi is a China expert, but the source of his sentence is wrong. This is not what is said in the Chinese Art of War, but from the "Historical Records. In the biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru, Qin attacked Han, and the army was in Yan. When Wang Zhaolian was talking to Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao said a word.

Shigeichi Fujita also knew that the 14th Brigade was on a big hurdle, and if it couldn't overcome this hurdle, it would face the disaster of annihilation. He thought for a moment, then pulled out the command knife with a "bang", held it upward, and then issued a sonorous command:

"All the officers and men of the 14th Brigade obeyed the order. In front of us are Chinese tanks, and only by rushing over can we complete the sacred task given to us by the corps. Heroic soldiers of the Imperial Army, His Majesty Emperor Hirohito is watching us, and it is time for us to show our loyalty to His Majesty.

Soldiers, raise your sabers and follow me, charge—"

Shigeichi Fujita pointed at the Chinese tank battalion with a knife.

All the Japanese officers and soldiers, riding on tall war horses, shouted at the Chinese tanks, and thousands of war horses gathered into one voice "Da ......" and roared towards the Chinese tanks.

Thousands of horses rolled up the dust that rushed to the sky, and the dust swept up and rose towards the sky.

Thousands of sabers swayed, flashing blindingly in the sun, and swept towards the tank battalion......

Shigeichi Fujita took a step slower, and the cavalry troops on both sides passed him like arrows.

In the command vehicle of the tank battalion, Han Xing also gave the order to shoot: "All the heavy machine guns, towards the devil's cavalry." Shooting-"

The 72 heavy machine guns of the tank battalion and a dozen heavy machine guns of the special operations battalion and the guard company all shot into the sky and roared angry bullets.

The bullets of the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, which were 450 to 600 rounds per minute, were nearly 40,000 to 50,000 rounds in a minute, and they were poured towards the cavalry of the little devils.

Each heavy machine gun fired bullets into the sky, and the bullets fell from the sky and smashed into the cavalry of the little devils.

Tracer bullets are constantly helping the shooters adjust the direction of their trajectory. Seventy or eighty rays of light swept towards the little devil's cavalry, forming an impenetrable network of firepower.

Shigeichi Fujita steered his tall and strong Anglo-Norman horse galloping, and it was like rain on the front and back, and the bullets hit the ground with patches of dirt, and suddenly a stray bullet flew and landed on the horse's buttocks.

The high-speed war horse received this powerful blow, and immediately fell to the ground, lifting Fujita Shigeru out of the war horse in one fell swoop.

Immediately, several guards rushed up and helped Fujita Shigeichi up. Shigeichi Fujita's face was broken, and blood oozed from his face.

At this time, there was nothing to worry about, and a medical soldier came up, hurriedly bandaged Fujita Shigeichi, and was immediately helped onto a new war horse.

The new horses are running again. Just after running a few steps, a 37-mm tank high-explosive grenade flew over, and with a "boom" sound, one of the horse's legs was injured and immediately fell down.

Shigeichi Fujita had to change his horse again. Continue to Mercedes.

The horse was hit in the head by a heavy machine gun bullet and died again, knocking Shigeichi Fujita down again. The guards hurriedly picked him up again, put on a new warhorse, and rushed forward again.

The first to rush in front of the tank battalion were more than a dozen tall and mighty war horses, they were really not easy, countless war horses in front of them were killed, so that they were lucky to avoid the bullets.

They really hated their teeth and squeaked, and in order to avenge the dead Japanese officers and soldiers, they picked up their sabers and chopped at the steel armor.

Only chop the armor "dangdangdang" sounded chaotically, and sparks popped up.

Enough of the anger was sprinkled, and then they rode their horses and continued to gallop.

Of course, the assault rifles of the special operations battalion were unceremonious to them, and a single bullet swept them all under their horses, and some even killed their horses.

In order to deal with this extremely dangerous situation, Han Xing gave an order to Yin Zhaoli and Zhang Xiaosan: "The special operations battalion and the guard company must not collide head-on with the devil's cavalry, and when the devil arrives, let them go." The latter situation, naturally, has tank battalions to deal with. ”

According to Han Xing's order, when the Zifan devil rushed to him, he let go of a way and let them go in order to avoid a major sacrifice.

Shigeichi Fujita also saw this, and while galloping his horse, he gave an order: "Don't get too entangled with the infantry of the Chinese army, rush over, rush over quickly." ”

Nearly half of them, the devils of great fate killed the past from a bloody road torn apart, and those who did not rush over were either killed or injured, and there was no more chance.

Han Xing gave another order: "The special operations battalion and the guard company, let's clean up the battlefield here and pick up those half-dead devils." Tank battalion, the cavalry that continued to pursue the devils. ”

The tank battalion of the long snake formation, with full horsepower, crushed towards the large cavalry force of the devils, and while running wildly, they fired heavy machine gun bullets, "Da da da......

Countless devil cavalry and war horses really escaped the first day of the first month, but they couldn't escape the fifteenth, and they were knocked down from behind by the guns of the tank battalion.

The tank battalion quickly rushed to the front of the devil's large army again, and blocked the devil, no matter how fast the four legs were, it was not as fast as the tank car's tracks, the tank continued to block the devil's advance, and the heavy machine gun was the cavalry that constantly killed and injured the devil's.

At this time, even Fujita Shikuichi lost confidence and said with annoyance: "Why did you rush for a while, but you haven't broken out of the encirclement of tanks!" This...... This...... What's going on! ”

Shixiong Shoichi also sighed and said: "You can't blame our horses for being unhappy, it's really that the tanks of the Chinese army are too fast." ”

"How's that okay?" Shigeichi Fujita seems to be asking himself and answering, and he seems to be asking Shio Shoichi.

Shixiong Zhengyi had no choice but to say: "When the two armies meet, the brave wins, we can only rush forward, there is no other way." ”

By this time, Shigeru Fujita had even the heart to die, but he looked at the more than 2,000 cavalry that followed him. These horsemen followed him for many years, and one by one they looked at him with the hope of survival, and he could not let them down, and he must take them out alive.

If he were a bear, the entire 14th Cavalry Brigade would be saved.

Shigeru Fujita mustered his spirits, brandished his saber and shouted: "Invincible Imperial soldiers." His Majesty the Emperor is watching us, and we cannot disgrace His Majesty. There were a few small tanks in front of us, nothing remarkable, and we rushed over and it was a victory. Raise your saber—"

More than two thousand sabers were raised in unison. In the sunlight, the white saber shone with a silver light.

Shigeichi Fujita pointed at the tank battalion swimming forward with another sword.

"Towards victory, onward—"

Shigeichi Fujita took the lead one by one, and the horses galloped from slow to fast, from small broken steps to large strides, and the ground resounded loudly.

The dust raised by the war horse rose into the sky. The sound of the horse's hooves resounded through the sky. The warhorses glittered with swords, forming a sea of white.

On the opposite Chinese M2 tank, 36 37mm guns are firing high-explosive grenades, and 72 heavy machine guns are spewing blazing flames. The flames spewed into the sky and then poured down from the sky.

Patches of bullets rained down on Shigeichi Fujita's front and back, and countless strings of earth rose on the ground.

Countless horses and soldiers fell in a hail of bullets......

The horses galloped at high speed, falling one after another, but there were still lucky cavalrymen who manipulated the horses to cross this line of death and rushed over.

After rushing through this blockade line, Fujita Shigeichi visually inspected his officers and soldiers, and there were probably only more than 1,000 cavalry left.

The Chinese tanks in the back repeated their old tricks, and they were driving towards their cavalry units at high speed again, and they drove over quickly. Then, again, it was in the way......

That is, on the day of May 12, Li Zongren also issued an order to attack the entire national army in the Suizao area.

The national army attacked in four directions.

On May 13, the five divisions of Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army, which rushed to the front line of Miyang, Tanghe, and Tongbai, and the 1 army of Tang Enbo's 31st Group Army, which had just jumped out of the encirclement, attacked Nanyang and the southwest of the Tang River on the whole line.

On the second road, on the left flank, the main force of Zhang Zizhong's 33rd Group Army attacked the area near Zaoyang, and cooperated with the 2nd and 31st Group Armies to form a flanking attack on the enemy south of the Tang River.

The first section of the Jiang Defense Army attacked the rear of the Japanese army on Gyeongjong Road, cutting off the retreat of the Japanese army on the left flank.

This line, under the leadership of Zhang Zizhong, was the most fiercely attacked.

On the third route, the right flank, Liu Ruming's 68th Army of the Northwest Army and Tang Enbo's 13th Army fought out from Tongbai Mountain, attacked Tongbai County, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army on the right flank.

On the fourth route, the guerrillas of the Nationalist army in the enemy-occupied area attacked the rear of the Japanese army on all fronts.

Due to the so-called encirclement of the two wings, the Japanese troops fighting on the front line of Suizao were seriously scattered, and they were attacked everywhere on the inner and outer lines, and the rear was also heavily damaged.

The Japanese army began to retreat on the 13th and 14th, but encountered layers of resistance from the national army along the way, suffering heavy casualties and being embarrassed.

Among them, because the Japanese army advanced the farthest on the left flank, Zhang Zizhong's division on the left flank was the force that posed the greatest threat to the Japanese army. Moreover, there have been some subtle changes in the military situation on the left.

On the 5th, the Japanese army broke through the defenders' positions on both sides of Changshoudian, that is, they attacked in the direction of Zaoyang with the main force along the east bank of the Xiang River. It was not until the 6th that the Japanese broke through the position of the longevity shopkeeper.

On the 7th, Zhang Zizhong personally led the elite main force of the 38th Division to cross the Han River, when the two divisions east of the Han River had fallen into chaos, and the division commanders Liu Zhensan and Ji Xingwen had lost contact.

As soon as Zhang Zizhong crossed the Han River, he hurriedly gathered his troops, and he suddenly saw Ji Xingwen, the commander of the 37th Division.
