Chapter 212: Annihilation of the Cavalry Brigade

After the artillery fire on Xu Hu's side began to extend, Muto Nobuyoshi finally had a chance to gather troops. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, there are more than 5,000 Japanese troops, and the area of the barracks where more than 5,000 Japanese troops are stationed can be imagined, and although there are many artillery regiments, they will certainly not be able to cover the entire Japanese camp, so they can only bombard some relatively valuable targets.

The tactical level of the Japanese soldiers was very high, and as soon as the cannon sounded, they quickly made corresponding concealed actions, and it was impossible for the whole army to be wiped out by a burst of artillery bombardment, but they were just dizzy because they were not prepared at all.

Of course, Muto Daisa's losses were not light, the original 3,800-strong full wing now barely reached 2,000 with the wounded, plus the losses of the artillery brigade and cavalry brigade, Li Han's round of shelling directly led to the forced disappearance of more than 2,300 devils in Muto on the battlefield.

In addition to this, the artillery of the 31st Wing was also dealt a devastating blow, six Type 92 infantry guns and four rapid-fire guns were blown up.

The remaining eight guns had no place to replenish their shells because the ammunition depot had been blown up, and each of the eight guns had thirty shells, which also meant that after firing these shells, these cannons would become scrap metal.

After the initial panic, Muto Nobuyoshi finally realized that it was really the Chinese army attacking him.

"Kill the chicken and give it! Kill the chicken and give! Kill all the Shina people! ”

His Excellency Wu Dazuo, who was annoyed and angry, immediately turned hideous, and let out a hysterical roar from his mouth, he was actually attacked by the despicable Shina people, and caused such heavy casualties.

Muto Nobuyoshi didn't think about whether he could defeat the other party at all, and he suffered such a big loss without making a sound, and now his only thought was to find a person to take revenge.

After all, the devil was a well-trained unit, and even if it was suddenly bombarded by a large number of shells, it was still able to remain in danger, and the Japanese officers began to quickly gather their troops and direct their men to rush out of the camp that had turned into a sea of fire.

The first to launch a counterattack was the Japanese cavalry brigade. The cavalry brigade rushed out of the garrison with its powerful mobility ability, risking huge casualties, and Muto Daisa gave an order, and the cavalry brigade howled and killed the monostone pass under the leadership of the captain Hatoyama Shaosa.

"Warriors, slay all the despicable Shinas."

Hatoyama shouted with a hideous face, although the cavalry brigade was highly mobile, but they were not prepared for the shelling.

Although Hatoyama Shozo rushed out of the barracks with his cavalry as soon as the shelling began, he still lost more than 100 cavalry.

Hundreds of horses were frightened away by the explosion of cannonballs, and if it weren't for the fact that their cavalry was all one-man and two-horseed, Hatoyama might have to switch to infantry by now.

"Report to the brigade, the devil's cavalry has come to kill."

"Send a report to the artillery battalion immediately, saying that the devil's cavalry is in front of us, let the artillery battalion open fire immediately, and order the mortar companies under the jurisdiction of each regiment to cooperate with the artillery battalion and the devil's cavalry to open fire."

The sound of vibration under his feet had already told Zhang Tie that a large number of devils were approaching, and after hearing the scout's report, a smile flashed at the corner of Zhang Tie's mouth.

The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and hundreds of unsheathed sabers gave people a chill under the reflection of the moonlight.

Immediately after the gunshots rang out, the devil's cavalry also discovered that there was a Chinese army in front of them and began to shoot on horseback, but under the cover of night, they did not know that the Chinese army in front of them was full of a brigade of troops.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The artillery unit of the 145th Brigade opened fire, and the 12 mountain guns and 20 mortars opened fire almost simultaneously, giving the Japanese cavalry, who had just woken up from the explosion, a head-on blow.

A salvo is more than 30 shells fell into the devil cavalry team at the same time, high-speed rotating bullets splashed everywhere, countless cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, even if the rough-skinned war horse was hit by shrapnel, it was either dead or wounded.

Zhang Tie could faintly see from the telescope that the devil fell from the war horse, and after landing, before he could make any evasive moves, he was trampled into meat by the war horse behind.

The cavalry brigade in China was only 500 people, and more than 100 were killed by Xu Hu in the barracks, and this time it was hit at close range by dozens of artillery pieces of the 145th Brigade, and more than 200 people were lost.

"Warriors of the Empire, the Imperial Army is invincible, kill the positions of the China, and cut off the heads of the Chinas with your swords."

"Onboard! His Majesty the Emperor onboard! ”

Looking at the cavalry who kept falling to the ground, Hatoyama Shaoza's eyes were split, but he did not give the order to let the cavalry retreat, but ordered the troops to speed up.

His eyes were blood-red with a crazy look, like a gambler who was about to lose all his money, and he would not give up without making a last effort.

Thinking about Hatoyama Shaozo, it is also sad enough, and he came to Dushi from Chengde with a cavalry brigade in a majestic manner, just to let the security army see the strength of the imperial army.

As a result, until now, not even a single soldier of the security army has been killed, and there are less than two hundred people left in the cavalry brigade, so it is no wonder that Hatoyama Shaozuo will not be able to swallow this breath.

However, if Hatoyama Shaozo knew what happened to Mihara Shaosa, it is estimated that he would not be as embarrassed as now, after all, Hatoyama Shaosa at least led the cavalry to charge the security army, and Mihara Shaosa really did not fire a single shot, and the artillery of the entire brigade was killed.

"Fire!"

Looking at the Japanese cavalry who rushed over to death without knowing whether they were alive or dead, Li Jian, the commander of the 14th Regiment, did not have the slightest mercy.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns spewed bright red flames together, and in addition to the machine guns, hundreds of rifles were fired at the same time, and countless bullets were poured on the charging devil cavalry like splashing water.

No matter how crazy Hatoyama was and how elite the Japanese cavalry was, it could not change the outcome of this cavalry brigade of more than 500 people, and became the first victim of this battle.

At the same time, Muto Nobuyoshi and the three brigades of the 31st Wing also rushed to Dushi Pass, he wanted to make the people understand that the advantage of the imperial army was not so easy to take advantage of.

The hope that the people of China would defeat their strengthened 31st Wing with a sneak attack was obviously wishful thinking.

Before leaving, in order to strengthen the forces at hand, Muto Nobuyoshi also forcibly incorporated the soldiers of Mihara Kiaki's artillery brigade despite Mihara Yoshiaki's strong opposition and even threats.

If before, Muto Nobuyoshi would definitely not dare to do this, he still counted on Mihara Yoshiaki to help him break through the monolith pass with just a cannon, but now the artillery of the artillery brigade has been completely destroyed, and more than 300 soldiers have been lost.

However, when the artillery brigade was full, there were more than 900 people, and now although 300 have died, there are still more than 600 left, and there is no artillery to call the artillery brigade, and it is a waste for these soldiers not to use it.

It just so happened that his wing suffered serious losses, and the artillery was also a soldier of the empire no matter how he said it, and in line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, Muto Nobuyoshi will certainly not let go of these more than 600 new forces.

"Yaga! This damn Muto actually swallowed up my artillery brigade, and I must go to the brigade commander to denounce him. ”

Mihara Kiaki greeted all the women of the Muto Nobuyoshi family in his heart.

Originally, twelve mountain cannons were blown up by the Chinese, and Mihara Kiaki was uncomfortable enough, but fortunately, the people were still there.

In the Japanese army, artillery is also a precious technical branch after all, plus Japan can produce its own artillery, for the Japanese army, an experienced gunner is more precious than artillery at some times.

Don't look at Hatoyama's artillery brigade, more than 300 people were killed in the bombing, but most of them were logistics and baggage soldiers responsible for transporting artillery shells. The real gunners were killed by dozens of them, and as long as they went back to replenish the artillery, the artillery brigade would soon be able to regroup.

However, after the soldiers of the artillery brigade were swallowed up by Muto Nobuyoshi, only one of his lieutenants and two guards remained with Mihara Yoshiaki.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the cavalry brigade has been completely annihilated, and a large number of Chinese troops are approaching us." The devil's spearhead reported to Muto Nobuyoshi.

"Nani! Yaga, Hatoyama, this waste, is stupider than a pig! The cavalry brigade of more than 500 people was wiped out at such a fast speed. Muto Nobuyoshi said angrily

The joy of having just incorporated the artillery brigade is gone, and without artillery, the combat effectiveness of the 600 men of the artillery brigade is not comparable to that of a squadron of the cavalry brigade.

"How many troops did the people of China have, and why did the cavalry brigade die so quickly."

Muto Nobuyoshi could hardly believe his ears, even if there were losses in the previous shelling, the cavalry brigade still had at least four hundred people, and in less than an hour, four hundred people said goodbye to him.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, it's too dark to see clearly, but there are at least four thousand people, and they are carrying a large number of heavy weapons, and the cavalry brigade will be wiped out only if it is hit by heavy firepower."

The devil soldier was a little uncertain, it had been a few hours since the first shelling began, and it was getting darker and darker, and he couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand.

Whether their spearhead squad is an owl or not equipped with a night vision device, where can they see clearly how many people there are on the other side, but the spearhead does not dare to report to Muto like this, otherwise he dares to guarantee that the command knife on Muto's waist will cut off his head without hesitation.

However, the spearheads also had their own methods, and they were also stationed under the Dushi Pass for seven or eight days, knowing that the defenders in the pass were a brigade unit.

According to the establishment of the Chinese army, a miscellaneous army in a place like the security army, the strength of a brigade is only 3,000 people, but they dare to take the initiative to attack the imperial army, the number may be more, so the devil soldiers made up a number in their own brains.

However, the devil soldier would not know that the number he made up in his brain completely sent Muto Nobuyoshi and the 31st Wing to a dead end.
