The order for the cavalry battalion to maneuver to the periphery after carrying out the combat mission was planned by Sun Weiguo a long time ago, and the cavalry unit is different from the infantry, and the greatest advantage of the cavalry is mobile combat.

If the cavalry battalion is allowed to stick to Chengguan Town, once the Japanese troops are compressed, the cavalry will be equivalent to a fish falling into the fishing net, and the other side will be at the disposal of it.

Therefore, even though Sun Weiguo knew that it would be very difficult for the independent regiment to fight after the cavalry battalion was transferred to the periphery, he still resolutely transferred the cavalry battalion to the periphery for mobile operations.

Chen Guitang also knew the situation of the independent regiment after the cavalry battalion left Chengguan Town, and he didn't want to leave, but he had to obey Sun Weiguo's orders.

The cavalry roared away from Sun Weiguo, and the officers and soldiers looked back at Sun Weiguo, their faces full of reluctance.

Sun Weiguo held the Makqin heavy machine gun in his right hand, the expression on his face was calm, and he did not show any nervousness.

The war horse was galloping rapidly, and the cavalry disappeared from Sun Weiguo's sight in the blink of an eye.

Liu Jingnuan, the company commander of the Jinsui Army Guard Company, was by Sun Weiguo's side, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes as he watched the cavalry battalion march in the direction of the county seat.

Liu Jingnuma also knew about the situation of the Independent Regiment, and he knew that the Independent Regiment only had three battalions.

Among the three battalions, the cavalry battalion and the infantry battalion are the main forces of the operation, and the artillery battalion is the auxiliary operation.

But now that Sun Weiguo has transferred the cavalry battalion, Liu Jingnuma doesn't dare to imagine how Sun Weiguo should command the next battle in Chengguan Town.

Relying on an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion to resist the attack of more than 10,000 Japanese troops, in Liu Jingnuma's view, this is completely an egg hitting a stone.

"Are you afraid?" Sun Weiguo looked at Liu Jingnuma beside him, and he asked with a smile.

The cavalry battalion withdrew from Chengguan Town and went to the periphery to maneuver, and the independent regiment was equivalent to cutting off a strong arm.

Liu Jingnuma is the commander of the guard company of the Second Theater Commander's Department no matter what, and Sun Weiguo will inevitably worry that he will be affected by this.

"Sir Sun, I'm not afraid, and neither are the brothers, don't underestimate us, we all crawled out of the pile of the dead. When the little devils came to Shanxi, the brothers were holding back their anger in their hearts, and we had long wanted to fight these little devils. ”

Liu Jingnuma held the Thomson submachine gun in both hands, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said with a firm expression.

Sun Weiguo saw Liu Jingnuma's expression, he knew that Liu Jingnuma was a bloody man, and he would definitely not be a deserter.

At this time, the main force of the Second Infantry Wing of the Chinese Garrison Corps was here, and the two infantry brigades and the troops directly under the wing headquarters had stopped advancing.

From time to time, the four mountain guns of the artillery squadron fired shells, trying to strike at the cavalry, but the cavalry had long disappeared from their sight.

As the artillery stopped firing, Wing Commander Kiyozaburo Okazaki lowered his binoculars, and he looked ahead.

The Captain of the Second Brigade had already come to Okazaki Seisaburo, and the expression on Captain Shosa's face was not very good at this time.

One of his squadrons was completely wiped out, but fortunately, another squadron sent out quickly withdrew back, only losing one squadron, he didn't know how to explain to Kiyozaburo Okazaki, after all, this has not officially started the battle, but his side lost a squadron first.

"What's going on, what's going on ahead, I see that there seem to be quite a few cavalry troops on the other side."

Seeing Captain Shaozo coming to him, Kiyozaburo Okazaki looked at Captain Shaozai, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Your Excellency, the first squadron is all broken, the other party should be the cavalry battalion of Sun Weiguo's independent regiment, these cavalry have disappeared at present, but it is very likely that these cavalry are hidden nearby, maybe when we continue to march, they will appear again to raid us."

Captain Shao Zuo lowered his head and said in a very embarrassed tone, he was still thinking about defeating the main force of the Independent Regiment before.

As a result, he lost a squadron, which was a great loss for the Japanese troops, and Captain Shaozo was responsible.

Kiyozaburo Okazaki couldn't help but widen his eyes, just now he observed through the telescope that the troops in front of him seemed to have casualties.

But what he never dreamed of was that one of his squadrons was completely annihilated, and such a loss made his face turn blue on the spot.

Looking at the Shaozo Captain in front of him, Kiyozaburo Okazaki couldn't wait to give him a few slaps.

However, after all, Captain Shaosa still had to lead the troops to fight, and Kiyozaburo Okazaki restrained his anger.

"The troops alternately cover the advance and attract the cavalry troops to attack, these damn cavalry, I must give them a good look."

Kiyozaburo Okazaki said in a cold tone, at present, the four mountain guns of the Japanese army, as well as the four infantry guns of the two brigades, have also begun to be erected.

Dozens of light and heavy machine guns were ready to shoot, and as long as the cavalry was present, these light and heavy weapons would bring a devastating blow to the cavalry.

As Kiyozaburo Okazaki's order began to be given, an infantry squadron began to search for the front.

The rest of the troops did not advance immediately, they were covering in place, and if the cavalry appeared at this time to surprise the infantry squadron, then the light and heavy weapons of the rest of the troops would have dealt a devastating blow to the cavalry.

It's just that Kiyozaburo Okazaki would never have dreamed that at this time, the cavalry had already advanced covertly from their flanks and left the battlefield here.

The Japanese infantry squadron moved cautiously, while the troops behind were ready to shoot.

After some time on the march, this infantry squadron was too far away from the main forces, they stopped their advance and began to set up grenadiers and light machine guns in their place.

The Japanese troops in the back were alternately covering each other, and the Japanese troops used this method to move slowly, for fear that the cavalry of the independent regiment would suddenly appear.

Half an hour later, the infantry squadron at the front began to enter the ambush circle set up by Sun Weiguo.

The Japanese infantry cautiously marched to the front, Sun Weiguo held a telescope to check the situation of the Japanese army, and seeing that this Japanese infantry squadron was some distance from its main force, Sun Weiguo immediately began to give an order to prepare for battle.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, there is Zhixi Town in front, let's speed up into Zhixi Town, I think those cowardly cavalry should not dare to appear."

Seeing that Zhixi Town was in front of him, an ensign squad leader had an excited expression on his face, and he quickly walked to the captain squadron leader to report.

The captain of the Japanese squadron looked at the town of Zhixi with its dim light, and he looked around again at the pitch black.

Thinking that his troops were still in the cover of the artillery range of the main force behind, he drew his saber and shouted: "Kill and give." ”
