Chapter XXXVIII

"Yes!" The engineer battalion commander, who was 1.85 meters tall, said yes and began digging on the road with his soldiers. It's not about building roads, it's about sabotage! Isn't it easy to destroy, dig the roadbed, dig the road surface, choose the excavation point and start work immediately. There is no requirement for the quality of the project, and the only condition is to keep a certain distance between the pits, and absolutely no vehicles with more than two wheels are allowed to pass.

"Little Four, rack up your cannon!" Gao Quan gave an order to the commander of the artillery battalion through the radio station.

Van Berlin and his two artillery batteries were left to the position of the Golden Wyvern by his divisional seat. Although Gao Quan said that he wanted to block the devil wing on the road, he still wouldn't fight that kind of rigid hard battle. In case the devils go crazy and rush to his side with no life, when it is time to retreat, he will retreat. With an artillery battalion, it is obvious to affect the mobility of the troops. Heavy artillery hits far away, leaving it on both sides of the road, and when needed, it can also give him artillery support.

The artillery battalion commander arrived at the front, and the two companies that the 201 Brigade had brought over before naturally returned to the command of Battalion Commander Fan. Four companies, twelve heavy artillery pieces, six on each side of the road. In terms of the number of heavy artillery, although the 500 divisions could not catch up with the German armament divisions of the Central Army, they were still much more than the heavy artillery possessed by a wing of the devils.

As we said, Ito Daisa sent the cavalry brigade behind his wing to take care of the rear road. The devils of the cavalry brigade were on the side of the road, and after a fierce battle with Jin Feilong, the losses were not small. The arrogant royal cavalry are resentful of their Majesty Daisa. When was cavalry used to attack mountain positions?

Ito Nobuyoshi's erroneous command directly led to the loss of a quarter of the horses and manpower of this noble royal army, and now it has been transferred to the back of the team.

Watanabe Shaosa was thinking about how to sue Ito Nobuyoshi, who didn't know how to command blindly, after going back, when a scout came to report that a large number of squadrons had cut off the road behind the wing and were carrying out civil engineering work!

Due to the peculiarity of cavalry, on the battlefield, cavalry units tend to send the most scouts and are also the most well-informed troops. At first hearing this news, Watanabe Shaosa was so startled that the cigar in his hand accidentally fell to the ground.

"Assemble! All on board! "After His Excellency Shao Zuo stood up from the cushion for resting, the order to assemble immediately spread throughout the cavalry brigade, and more than two hundred imperial cavalry quickly stepped onto their horses.

No matter how much he looks down on the wing captain, Watanabe Shaosa is a professional soldier after all, and he is still a proud royal cavalry officer, and he is not lacking in military qualities at all. The result of being cut off by the opponent is extremely bad without guessing. Since this unit of his has been tasked with clearing the back road, let him lead his cavalry to defeat this squadron!

"Forward!" Watanabe pulled out his saber and slashed at his side, giving the order to attack.

"Report, there's a cavalry unit of devils coming in front!" The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion next to him came to report.

The vibration under his feet has explained the situation, Gao Quan held the telescope and quietly looked forward, and sure enough, a faint piece of silver light flickered, a shadow was shaking, and the sound of thunderous hooves roared in his ears. I didn't think I would have a chance to meet the devil cavalry! When they passed by Jin Feilong, Jin Feilong sent someone to report to him, saying that they had encountered the Devil Cavalry Brigade today. Gao Quan has always been curious about the devil cavalry, but he didn't expect to really call himself a collision.

"The sapper battalion retreated immediately! Cao Bao, take your people to the back of the line! "The engineer battalion is his own treasure, and Gao Quan will never let these sappers take their guns to fight until the critical moment.

"Fan Xiaosi, it's your turn! In front of me, the Devil Cavalry Brigade, open fire! "Let's give the devils some cannonballs to taste first, so that these guys also know what cavalry tastes like for artillery.

"Reconnaissance battalions, special service battalions, guard companies, defense according to the pit." Although the engineer battalion has not dug the pits yet, there is still a surplus of these half-dug pits for infantry bunkers. There are a lot of traps dug by the engineer battalion, and a buffer zone of 30 meters is set aside in front, leaving the pits within 30 meters to the devil cavalry.

As for the cavalry battalion, let's wait on the sidelines. Gao Quan wouldn't use his precious cavalry battalion to fight against the devil's cavalry brigade.

The sound of hooves is getting louder and louder, and the devil's war horse is already visible to the naked eye. In the flickering of the saber, the guns rang out, and the devil cavalry began to shoot on horseback. Fortunately, our soldiers hid well, and they fell into the half-deep pit dug by the sappers, plus the mound of dirt piled on the edge of the pit, but they only exposed their heads and guns, and the bullets from the devil cavalry did not hurt a few people.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A cannonball smashed over, and the devil cavalry who was galloping on the prancing horse suddenly turned on their backs.

The shells fired by the artillerymen of the 500th Division in time were falling into the charging cavalry group, and the shrapnel flying everywhere made the war horses with little protection ability fall to the ground one after another. Gao Quan's eyes narrowed as he watched from the telescope as the little devil fell to the ground from the horse's neck, and then trampled into flesh by the galloping war horse behind him.

To say that the Devil Cavalry Brigade is really brave enough, after a cannonball was smashed, these guys didn't turn around and ran back, and after a short panic, they bypassed their companions lying on the ground and continued to charge towards Gao Quan's side. The devils think that with the speed of the cavalry, as long as they get close, they will definitely be able to win, right?

"Hit!" With an order, countless bullets rained down on the charging devil cavalry. The Japanese cavalry brigade again suffered heavy losses.

The war horse that rushed to the front was suddenly shot at high speed, its front legs weakened, and its upper body fell to the ground. Due to inertia, the huge body could not contain the forward trend, and the entire back body flipped directly forward.

When the cavalry on horseback fell halfway down on the horse, he fell out of the horse's neck, and was lying on the ground dizzy, and when he didn't know why, the huge horse's butt fell from the sky and smashed heavily into the devil cavalry. The devil rode the war horse for many days, and once his war horse rode him in turn, the devil would run up and down, and he would die with a whimper.

The Devil Cavalry Brigade had a total of about 300 war horses, and when they fought with Jin Feilong, they lost forty or fifty horses, and dozens of shells were poured down, and the remaining two hundred or so war horses were rapidly reduced in number under the blows of thousands of rifles.

Watanabe Shaosa saw that it was not good, and shouted in time: "Retreat!" "Turn around and run.
