Chapter 240: The Proud Cavalry

The Japanese officer riding on the war horse was the captain of the cavalry team of the garrison corps, Nori Shinichi, and his face was full of haughty expressions, as if the rank of major general was not on his epaulette.

The Japanese cavalry units have always been noble, and many noble sons and daughters either entered the Guards Division or became officers of the cavalry wings of various field divisions.

The cavalry is a noble representative, which makes some cavalry officers not take the infantry seriously, even if the infantry officers are higher in rank than them, they will not have much respect.

Takano Shuichi was the unit of the 20th Division, and the 20th Division was an independent regiment that had been defeated by Sun Weiguo many times, and Takano Shuichi himself had also caused Sun Weiguo to suffer heavy casualties before.

For such a Nakasa officer, Nohi Shinichi naturally would not take it seriously, and he even thought that Takano Shuichi was a representative of incompetence.

"Ye Rijun, there may be Sun Weiguo's independent regiment troops outside the city, your cavalry team should return to the corps headquarters immediately and protect the safety of His Excellency the General."

Takano Shuichi frowned slightly, and he said in a calm tone, although he was very angry in his heart, but at this time he didn't care about these things.

In Takano Shuichi's opinion, the most important thing now is to garrison Pingding County and protect the safety of Yamashita Fengwen.

After listening to the analysis of Zhu Shiqiang and other puppet army officers, Takano Shuichi also felt that it was very likely that Sun Weiguo's independent regiment troops were outside the city.

If Yamashita Fengwen hadn't been in the county, Takano Shuichi would have wanted to continue to compete with Sun Weiguo.

But now Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengfumi, who is stationed in the cantonment corps, is in the county seat, and as the commander of the garrison of Pingding County, Takano Shuichi naturally wants to protect the safety of Yamashita Fengfumi.

If Yamashita had an accident in the county, Takano Shuichi couldn't afford to take responsibility.

Takano Shuichi is not a reckless man, he knows what is most important, he did not let the Japanese puppet army go out to search for the troops of the Independent Regiment, obviously made preparations to hold the county seat.

The cavalry battalion was to put pressure on the Japanese troops in Binh Dinh County, so that the Japanese troops on the front line could quickly return to reinforcements and give the main force of the Independent Regiment a chance.

But Takano Shuichi is now making a posture of sticking to the county seat, and if Sun Weiguo knew this, he would definitely be shocked.

Takano Shuichi had some command ability, but his decision did not represent the decision of all Japanese troops in Binh Dinh County.

After hearing Shuichi Takano's words, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up the binoculars on his chest, and he glanced outside.

At this time, six infantry guns began to fire again, and six grenades fired towards the city gate.

More than a dozen puppet soldiers who were carrying sandbags to block the gap in the city gate were killed on the spot, and Zhu Shiqiang was so frightened that he immediately hid.

Even Shuichi Takano was led by his guards and quickly hid in the houses on the side.

On the other hand, the cavalry led by Nori Shinichi did not move in place, while Nori Shinichi continued to hold a telescope and observe outside the city.

The war horse, which was obviously trained by guns, did not panic because of the explosion of the shell, and the war horse raised its front legs slightly, as if it had the idea of rushing over immediately.

"Hmph, no wonder the 20th Division has been defeated by local forces like Sun Weiguo several times, if we had come to encircle and suppress Sun Weiguo's troops earlier, Sun Weiguo would have been killed a long time ago. Immediately assemble the cavalry and follow me out, I want to see who is pretending to be a ghost outside. ”

Ye Rixin said in a cold tone, he put away his binoculars, and glanced disdainfully at Gao Ye Shuyi, who was hiding in the house, and he immediately gave an order.

The cavalry beside him led the order to leave, and in a short time, nearly two hundred cavalry began to gather at the city gate.

With a playful smile on his face, Nohi Shinichi looked back at his cavalry unit.

"Warriors of the empire, take out your sharp sabers, follow me and rush out, as long as everyone appears in our sight, as long as it is Chinese, kill them all."

Seeing the expectant expression on his cavalry face, Nori Xinyi said with an excited expression.

"Hey!" The cavalrymen excitedly agreed, and they quickly drew their sabers.

They couldn't wait to rush out, they wanted to get their sabers stained with the blood of the Chinese.

These cavalrymen had been in the county for too long, and they were more eager than anyone else to be able to win the battle.

"Ye Ri-kun, you should know that the other side has at least six infantry guns, and their troops will definitely exceed three hundred. Sun Weiguo may be outside the city, you are likely to fall into the scheme when you go out at this time, stay in the county seat, ignore the shelling outside, and protect Your Excellency the General is the most important thing. ”

Takano Shuichi didn't expect to dodge the cannonballs, so Nohi Shinichi gathered the cavalry.

Listening to Nohi Shinichi's encouraging words, Takano Shuichi couldn't help but show a solemn expression on his face.

He hurriedly came to Nori Shinichi, he said with a nervous face, he felt that if Nori Shinichi left the county, it was very likely that he would be wiped out.

If it were another Chinese unit, Takano Shuichi would definitely not have such worries, but Sun Weiguo's troops were different.

Especially thinking of Sun Weiguo's excellent command ability, Takano Shuichi became even more nervous, and he felt more and more that this was a trap.

"Takano-kun, I will let you know what a real Imperial soldier is, and I will also let you know that the Imperial cavalry is the most effective type of troops. Don't say that there are 300 people on the other side, even if they have 1,000 people, our cavalry will be able to break through their positions and slaughter them all! ”

Where can Nohi Shinichi still listen to Takano Shuichi's persuasion at this time, he is very confident in his cavalry combat effectiveness.

He felt that Sun Weiguo's troops, which could not be solved by the troops of the 20th Division, would definitely be able to be solved by his own cavalry team.

Even Nohi felt that Takano Shuichi would not let him leave the county to go out to fight, mainly because he was worried that he would rob him of his military exploits.

Hideichi Takano commanded the infantry to garrison the county seat, so naturally there would be no chance for their cavalry to fight.

"Kill, give!" Nohi didn't pay any attention to Shuichi Takano, he raised his saber and shouted loudly.

Horses began to gallop, and the cavalrymen, brandishing their sabers, rushed quickly towards the outside of the city.

Hideichi Takano's mouth opened, but before his words came out, more than 180 cavalrymen of the cavalry team had already left the county seat behind Shinichi Nohi.

"Bagaya Road, Ye Ri Xinyi, this idiot, he will definitely fall into Sun Weiguo's trap. Sun Weiguo drops, cunning big drops. ”

Takano Shuichi looked at the dust brought up by the cavalry, he said with an angry face, and he hurriedly sent soldiers to inform Yamashita Fumimi of the incident.

At the same time, Takano Shuichi looked at Zhu Shiqiang, and there was a thoughtful expression on his face.
