Chapter 14: The cavalry is finally gone
The cavalry battalion was established until now, and it was only during the last time it chased a train that it exerted a little combat effectiveness. The cavalry battalion commander obviously did not want his troops, like a flash in the pan, to flash only once, and then become vassals of the 500th Division again.
In fact, the cavalry of this era is still very useful, but in Gao Quan's personal eyes, he has always stubbornly believed that the cavalry is just an aristocratic luxury, but it looks mighty and tall, just like the accessories on the military uniform, it is completely face-saving work, and basically there is nothing practical. If it weren't for the occasional appearance of the cavalry in the last time, he might have used the cavalry as a convoy.
The divisions are not optimistic, and the cavalry will have to fight for themselves. Although Gao Quan's order to them was to let them flick a whip from behind the devil and leave, but after only one round, the cavalry must not be very willing, as for the cavalry battalion commander, of course, he is the most of them. So, after the cavalry swept over, the knights who were supposed to go to the division seat to hand over the order, after going around in a circle, made a comeback and swept past the devil again! And fire hundreds of bullets!
Since the cavalrymen are all shooting guns on running horses, it goes without saying that they must be more proficient in shooting moving targets. One round is okay, from left to right, and then from right to left, these two rounds of see-sawing, the devil captain painfully found that another team under his command was missing! Just when the captain was almost left alone, the team he had sent to the front to explore the path actually returned!
When the team reached the edge of the pit, they saw dozens of corpses at the bottom of the pit, as well as some Japanese soldiers who had not completely lost their lives and were still resisting stubbornly. In fact, it was the Japanese second lieutenant who hid under the corpse of his companion and secretly shot outside, as well as his companions. It's just that the good time they can hide under the corpse and steal the fun is coming to an end, and the reinforcements have arrived, and they have lost their usefulness. Whether it is Gao Quan, Wang Dazhu, including Liu Xing, it is basically impossible to let them go.
Seeing this miserable scene at the bottom of the pit, the leader of the devil's squad instinctively shuddered, and immediately retreated with his team. It was a squad in front, and he was also a squad here, and from what he had seen with his own eyes, it was not at all the result of a desperate battle with the enemy, both sides were defeated, no matter how you looked at it, they felt that the squad was being slaughtered by their opponents! For such a slaughter field, the second lieutenant outside the pit was not interested in it at all.
Not wanting to rescue his companions, the second lieutenant had no choice but to lead his troops to turn around and go backwards, but fortunately, the order given to him by his squadron leader was also to return immediately after the temptation! After giving himself a good reason, the second lieutenant took his squad of soldiers and ran away as he jumped high.
After the captain lost another squad, there were some people left in the squadron headquarters around him, as well as a few scattered soldiers, adding up to more than thirty, barely half a squad. The lieutenant led his last two squads of troops, behind the trees, in the cracks in the stones, and in the grass, to hide their bodies with all their might, trying to avoid the next surprise attack of the cavalry. But the heart of the captain and his soldiers was desolate, and everyone knew that as long as the cavalry passed again, everyone would definitely die!
The cavalry's marksmanship is too accurate, and the cavalry's speed is too fast! The Japanese infantry were used to shooting at people, so could the horses run like people? And even more so cavalrymen armed with rifles? By the time you hear the sound of hooves and see the horses, the cavalrymen's guns have already been fired, and by the time you dodge the oncoming bullets, the cavalry has already run away!
Even if someone can fire a shot once in a while, they can't see a horse fall from a bullet at all, and they don't see a knight fall from their horse, which is so frustrating! The captain couldn't help but think of the arrogant appearance of Kasai Toshimatsu Nakasa of the cavalry wing, who was also the captain of the cavalry and had the same rank as Nakasa, and when they saw the captain of the cavalry wing, it was like when the third grandson saw his ancestors. No wonder the cavalry is arrogant, not only the noble birth, but also the combat effectiveness of the people is really strong!
While the captain was thinking about it and preparing for death, the team he had sent to the front finally returned. With the addition of more than fifty people, the captain can organize a reinforcement squad again!
The terrifying cavalry did not know when it would appear again, and the captain really didn't dare to swagger back like this, he was going to hide here for a while to see if the cavalry would not come. The lieutenant decided that after making sure that the cavalry had gone far, he would lead his troops to set off. In the wilderness, when encountering such a superior cavalry force, the chances of his squad surviving should not exist. He didn't want to die under the guns of those cavalrymen for no apparent reason.
The cavalry battalion is really gone. After a detour, just as he was about to launch the next attack, the cavalry battalion commander met Wang Jiantang and his 504th Regiment, who had come to cut off the enemy's rear road. Although the cavalry battalion commander wanted to reason with others, he really didn't dare to disobey the order of the division. So, after a few friendly greetings between the two sides, the cavalrymen, who had fired two rounds of guns and walked their horses, went to meet their division in high spirits.
Wang Jiantang was halfway here, he heard the neighing of horses and the sound of guns, for fear that something would happen to the cavalry battalion, and urged the troops to go quickly. He came here to fight devils, and the devils have all called the cavalry to shoot them out, didn't he come for nothing? Fortunately, the cavalry battalion commander also knew a lot about things, and he took people away with him after saying hello, which had to be replaced by Liu Qi, and it was estimated that it would not be so easy to fight.
At this time, the devil waited for a while and didn't see the cavalry, counting the time, he felt that the cavalry should be withdrawn, and they were about to slip away. The 504th Regiment came and blocked the road! Wang Jiantang looked at the dozens of devils in front of him, feeling a little disappointed. The number of these devils is a little smaller, and it is estimated that they will not be able to beat it.
Regardless of whether you can enjoy it or not, you have to fight! Wang Jiantang received the task of driving this group of devils into the pit over there. Isn't Gao Quan going to use this big pit as a cemetery for devils?
This group of devils and heavy soldiers, when facing the cavalry, there is an instinctive pressure, but the pressure on the 504th Regiment of Shangwang Jiantang is suddenly gone, and even this handful of devils has a little psychological superiority. Why? Just because these devils have defeated countless squadrons, just because they have captured Nanjing City! Therefore, in the face of the squadron more than ten times their own, this group of devils not only did not flinch, but also launched a counterattack against Wang Jiantang's troops!
