Chapter 706: Fierce Firepower

After the 25 cavalry wing of the Japanese army withstood the raid of the armored battalion, they lost more than a hundred people, and now they still have more than five hundred troops.

More than 500 cavalry followed behind the captain of the Nakasa wing, and the Japanese cavalry quickly advanced towards the village of Heishi.

In the eyes of the devil soldiers, as long as they reach Blackstone Village, they will be safe, at least temporarily, and the devil cavalry looked at Blackstone Village, which was getting closer and closer, and a smile appeared on their faces.

BUT JUST WHEN THEY WERE A KILOMETER AWAY FROM THE VILLAGE OF BLACKSTONE, TWO INFANTRY GUNS, TWO 82MM MORTARS BEGAN TO FIRE SHELLS.

One grenade after another continued to hit the Japanese cavalry, and the artillerymen skillfully loaded the grenades, fired quickly, exited the cartridge case, continued to reload the grenades, and fired again.

NEXT TO THE TWO 70MM TYPE 92 INFANTRY GUNS AND THE TWO 82MM MORTARS, A LOT OF YELLOW BULLET CASINGS SOON APPEARED, AND THE GRENADES WERE FIRED TOWARDS THE JAPANESE CAVALRY.

In a short period of five minutes, the 25th Cavalry Wing paid more than 80 casualties, and the expression on his face became shocked when the captain of the Nakasa Wing saw this scene.

Because there was no fire support on their side, the artillery of the New Second Brigade did not have to change positions at all, and their grenades came one after another.

"The warriors of the empire, speed up, there are only four guns in the Black Stone Village, we rush over, they will not pose a threat to us at all, kill all the artillery units of the Chinese Army, capture the Black Stone Village, the warriors of the Empire, kill and give!"

After a quick observation, he found that there were only four artillery pieces in the village of Heishi that were constantly firing, and he immediately judged that there might be only these four artillery guns in the village to intercept him.

He made a quick decision, and he ordered the cavalry to quickly charge towards the village of Blackstone.

More than 400 Japanese cavalry began to advance towards the village of Heishi, the cavalrymen brandished their sabers, and he shouted loudly.

Their charge was carried out under grenade blows, and the Japanese cavalry constantly fell from their horses, and some cavalry lay on the ground wailing in pain.

Eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters, six hundred meters, five hundred meters!

From a distance of one thousand meters to a distance of five hundred meters, the Japanese cavalry once again paid more than fifty casualties, at this time the Japanese cavalry only had more than four hundred people, but they were only five hundred meters away from Heishi Village, and the Japanese cavalry showed an excited expression on their faces.

They imagined entering the village and cutting off the heads of Chinese artillerymen.

BUT AT THIS TIME, NINE TYPE 89 GRENADIERS, ONE 60MM MORTAR, FOUR HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, THIRTEEN LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, AND TWO 20MM MACHINE GUNS QUICKLY BEGAN TO FIRE, AND THE FIREPOWER NETWORK OF BLACKSTONE VILLAGE BEGAN TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE.

Infantry guns, mortars, grenadiers, machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and shells continued to fall on the Japanese cavalry, and light and heavy machine gun bullets hit like rain.

At the same time as these heavy weapons began to fire, more than 100 Japanese cavalry fell from their horses, either dead or wounded.

IN PARTICULAR, THE ARMOR-PIERCING BULLETS FIRED BY THE 20MM MACHINE GUN, WHICH HIT THE BODY OF THE JAPANESE CAVALRY, WILL DIRECTLY TEAR THE BODY OF THE JAPANESE CAVALRY.

More than a dozen Japanese cavalrymen were beaten into severed arms and stumps, and the picture was terrible.

The captain of the Nakasa United was at the rear, and he narrowly escaped this round of firepower.

Looking at the troops in front of him who had suffered heavy casualties, the face of the captain of the Nakazo Wing turned pale, and now there were only nearly three hundred people left in his 25 cavalry wing.

The captain of the Nakasa Wing was a little panicked, but he still brandished his saber and shouted loudly, and he ordered the troops to continue the charge.

The effective range of light and heavy machine guns is about 1,000 meters, and the commander of the squadron knows that if he withdraws at this time, his troops will still be under attack.

So he gritted his teeth, he wanted to rush to the village quickly, he knew that as long as his cavalry rushed to the village, the heavy weapons of the new second brigade would not work.

The Japanese cavalry units braved heavy firepower, and for every meter they advanced, they paid a heavy price.

More than 200 cavalry continued to fall to the ground, and the wounded horses screamed in pain, but the Japanese cavalry rushed towards the village like crazy.

Four hundred meters, two hundred and eighty meters, one hundred and fifty meters, sixty meters, thirty meters!

The horses had already begun to enter the village, and the Japanese cavalry could even see the location of the heavy weapons of the Chinese troops.

But from five hundred meters to this distance, the 25 cavalry wing again paid more than a hundred casualties, and now the Japanese cavalry can continue to fight only more than one hundred and fifty people, which is equivalent to the strength of a cavalry squadron.

This time, the captain of the Zhongzuo Wing was at the forefront, and he wanted to use this to boost the morale of the troops.

"Kill, give!" The captain of the Nakasa Wing shouted loudly.

The Japanese cavalry marched forward with their sabers, and at a distance of thirty meters, the first company of the infantry battalion began to organize the fire of the whole company to strike.

Rifles, which had not been fired all the time, also began to fire, and three armored vehicles began to fight from the flanks.

The distance of thirty meters became the line of life and death, and the Japanese cavalry fell from their horses one after another.

The three armored vehicles that came out of the flanks used light and heavy machine guns to strafe, and the armored vehicles were directly aimed at the Japanese cavalry.

The armor of the three armored vehicles was weak, but the Japanese cavalry with sabers could not pose any threat to the three armored vehicles.

The result of the battle was conceivable, the Japanese cavalry without any artillery support, in the face of such a powerful fire network, coupled with the help of armored vehicles, they naturally had no chance of winning, and the ground was full of corpses of Japanese cavalry.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE NAKASA WING WAS HIT BY AN ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET FIRED FROM A 20MM MACHINE GUN, AND HIS BODY WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED INTO MINCED FLESH.

The battle for Blackstone Village came to an end, and the 25th Cavalry Wing was wiped out!

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the 25th Cavalry Wing was intercepted by the Zhina troops in Heishi Village, they have been completely annihilated, the firepower of the Zhina troops is very strong, I judge that in front of our march, there will definitely be Zhina troops to intercept it, I suggest that we immediately break through to the flank, we do not go to Xuting Town, and immediately withdraw to the county seat of Zanhuang County."

The captain of the 72nd Cavalry Wing immediately came to Kojima Yoshizo, and he hurriedly reported in the direction of Kuroishi Village.

AS SOON AS HIS WORDS FELL, THE SECOND COMPANY OF THE JIBU BATTALION BEGAN TO SHELL THE 72ND CAVALRY WING, AND COMPARED WITH THE FIRST COMPANY OF THE JIBU BATTALION, THE SECOND COMPANY HAD AN ADVANTAGE IN WEAPONS, AND THEY WERE EQUIPPED WITH FOUR MORE 20MM MACHINE GUNS AND ONE MORE TYPE 92 ARMORED VEHICLE THAN THE FIRST COMPANY.

"Dispersed and broke through to the flank, ordered the 26th Cavalry Wing to abandon its march to Xuting Town, and the troops assembled in the county seat of Zanhuang County."

Kojima Yoshizo was hit by shelling, and he immediately began to give orders.

The 72 Cavalry Wing immediately changed direction, and they quickly broke through to the flanks.

At this time, they were some distance from the position of the second company of the machine infantry battalion, and they broke through to the flank, but they did not receive much firepower.
