Chapter Ninety-Two: Cavalry Charge
"Drive! Drive! Gao Quan whipped the horse high, but when it fell, it was fluttering, and he was reluctant to really smoke this jujube red horse.
Since Gao Quan participated in the Anti-Japanese War, he has worked as a scout, a soldier, a devil, a sniper, and even a cameo as an artilleryman, but he has never been a cavalryman. Today this opportunity suddenly appeared, and of course he did not want to miss it. The cavalry troops around him were all his subordinates, and these people would not refuse their command at all. Leading a cavalry unit to pursue the devil is exciting to think about.
"Report, the Devil's Sixth Division is crossing the river in Xinshi." In front of him was the Miluo River, and the scouts came to report the movements of the devils.
Although it was a pursuit, Gao Quan's mind was still very clear. His cavalry unit is only more than 600 horses at best, and the devil's sixth division, any brigade that comes out, he has to flee in despair. Excitement is excitement, but a calm mind is indispensable.
"The Sixth Division is in Xinshi, then we will cross the river from Guiyi!" The pursuit also has a pursuit strategy, Guiyi has been taken by the 70th Army from the Shangcun detachment, and now it is under the control of the national army, and the cavalry battalion of the 500th division will borrow the road to pass, I guess the friendly army will not refuse, right?
As Gao Quan expected, as soon as the officer in charge of liaison said in the past, the 70th Army over there immediately let it go. They insisted on the ferry, on the one hand, to prevent the devils from crossing the river, and on the other hand, to make it easier for them to cross the river. The 500th Division is a regular unit of the National Army, and of course the 70th Army will be released.
People are better, horses are not better. In order to take care of these cavalry units that crossed the river to pursue the enemy, the defenders of the 70th Army specially found a few large ferries to help them ferry their horses. After a lot of tossing, the two sides of the strait ferried countless times, and finally these cavalrymen and horses crossed to the opposite bank.
After going ashore, the horses that were still restless on the ship immediately cheered up. The knights turned over their horses, Gao Quan whistled, hooves rumbled, and the cavalry battalion of the 500th Division rushed into the distance like a whirlwind.
The Sixth Division had a large number of soldiers and horses, and all units of our Ninth Theater rose up to catch up, and ambushes continued to attack the Sixth Division along the way. The troops that followed behind were also constantly gunshot, and the commanders of each unit were ruthless, this time they didn't plan to let the devils withdraw comfortably to the defense area.
Fortunately, the 500th Division killed the devil's artillery wing, and now Lieutenant General Inaba is running away, which can be regarded as a light advance. Whenever Inaba Shiro thinks of the scene when he retreats, he can't help but rejoice, if the division takes the field artillery wing, it is estimated that the run will definitely not be as easy as it is now.
There is a big pile of devils in front, and it is estimated that there are not two thousand, and Gao Quan, a few hundred cavalry, dare not go up and provoke casually. Don't look at the little devil's legs are not long, but he runs as fast as a frightened duck, Gao Quan couldn't help but think maliciously, if you give the devils a cannonball now, I don't know what the scene will be?
Answer the phone, and ask for the artillery battalion, "Little four, where is your artillery battalion now?" Brigadier Qian, did you see those cannons they captured? ”
"Report to the division, the cannons captured by the two brigade commanders have all entered the artillery battalion. Now our unit has rushed to the south bank of the Miluo River and is trying to cross the river. Please instruct the teacher! ”
"Okay, I'll give you the coordinates now, and you'll see if the artillery battalion can hit there." Speaking of which, Gao Quan told the artillery battalion commander the coordinates of the devil calculated by the scout.
A few minutes later, the rumbling cannon sound came from the other side of the river, followed by an earth-shattering explosion from the group of devils! Probably because Battalion Commander Fan got too many cannons and shells today, this artillery battalion commander, who has always been stingy, actually carried out ten minutes of continuous shelling this time, and the density of the shells was more than twice as dense as before he didn't get the devil's cannon!
The cannonballs exploded in the crowd of devils, and the devils scattered and fled. A team of more than 100 devils was blown up by the shells, and they ran towards the cavalry battalion like a swarm, is it safe here?
Gao Quan watched the devils run this way, put down the binoculars and showed a smile, "Get on the horse, raise the gun, and kill the devils!" ”
In the unobstructed open space, more than 100 panicked devil infantry met more than 600 cavalry led by Gao Quan himself, and an asymmetrical battle immediately began.
Gao Quan had no chance to perform except for killing a ghost soldier with a gun. The guards around him surrounded him tightly, and Jin Hu and Biao Zi tightly clamped him from both sides. Gao Quan's first shot was fired at the beginning of the battle, when the soldiers had not yet fully adapted to the feeling of starting a war. When the cavalry raised their guns and the sabers were unsheathed, Gao Quan had no chance to shoot. There are people in front of him, left and right, let alone shooting, and it is not easy for him to see the devil completely through the human slit.
"Kill!"
The deafening shouting of killing sounded in his ears, Gao Quan pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, held his box cannon in the other, and shouted loudly with the soldiers, but this battle cry became a shout and cheer for his comrades. There was a dense crowd in front, and next to it were the two super bodyguards of Biaozi and Jin Hu, and Gao Quan had no chance to make a move.
Under the command of Kong Xuan, the cavalry battalion was divided into several teams to slash back and forth among the devils, hitting with guns at a distance and slashing with knives when they were close. Anyway, horses are faster than people, and the hooves of war horses can also kick people. In this way, the superior cavalry, against a small number of infantry, slashed back and forth, and in a few rounds, the devil's infantry collapsed.
Originally, these devils were bombarded by artillery and came out dizzy to avoid the shells, where is the fighting spirit? Now when encountering a large number of cavalry, after a little resistance, the frightened devils were cut down in half, and the surviving devils screamed and fled in all directions.
Ordinary devils escape, and often many people can escape. But today they encountered cavalry, and it was several times more cavalry than them, and these devils were unlucky! The cavalry was divided into small teams, and in the fields and rivers, they chased and killed the devil soldiers everywhere. The devils walked on two small short legs, and they couldn't even run a hundred meters, so they were caught up by the war horses that ran quickly, followed by a flash of cold light, and the sharp saber slashed through the devil's neck.
It didn't take long for the battle to end, and there was no statistics on whether any of these devils had escaped, but even if there were any who escaped alive, it was a few people with flexible minds, and the number of those who started to flee at the beginning of the battle would definitely not exceed twenty.
The shelling has ended, and the place where the devil's army marched just now was in a mess, Gao Quan's hand pointed over there, "Let's go, let's rush over!" ”
