Chapter Seventy-Two: Nothing Happens
Although the soldiers of a battalion are scattered and hidden, even if they are dispersed, this is also a formed combat unit, there is always a center, the old thief is the battalion commander, behind the stone he hid, of course, is the focus of the whole battalion, most of the soldiers will glance at this side intentionally or unintentionally when shooting at the devil, to see if the battalion commander has any new orders.
The old thief was promoted to battalion commander because of his military exploits, he can be said to have a very high prestige in this battalion, and the big and small things in the camp are basically his ideas, and now as soon as he is injured here, the first thing is that the guards and heralds next to him panic.
"Battalion commander, battalion commander!" After the guard finished bandaging the old thief, seeing that the old thief closed his eyes and kept silent, he leaned over and shouted a few times, but no one answered, and immediately panicked. "Brother Maverick, the battalion commander is silent, what can I do?"
"I'll go tell Company Commander Zhao and Company Commander Liu about them!" After all, it was a herald, and Maverick immediately remembered his job.
Gazi was just a guard, and he didn't have any good ideas in his heart, so when he heard Xiao Niu say this, he quickly agreed, "Okay, wow, then you go quickly." Inform a few company commanders of the order that the battalion commander just gave you, and in addition, ask the deputy of the Qi battalion to come over quickly. "It's not bad, the guards are still remembering the battalion commander's orders at this time.
The company commanders came, and so did the deputy Qi Ying. Although each of them is very determined to resist Japan, and everyone has the determination to fight the devil to the end, even though the deputy of Qi Ying can also lead the troops to fight the devil, the news that the old thief was injured still spreads. Soon, the soldiers of the first battalion knew that their battalion commander was seriously wounded and his life and death were unknown.
The fighting continued, and not a single fighter of the rearguard withdrew from the battlefield without permission. However, when the soldiers of the first battalion were fighting with the devils, they were still different from just now. The spiritual leader is down! What is most important on the battlefield? Weapons? Soldiers? Of course, these are important, but the most important thing is morale! A unit without morale, no matter how advanced the weapons and how many troops it has, will inevitably fail in the end.
There are so many examples of battles in history where fewer won more, and there are countless of them who rely on morale to win. The old thief fell, and the determination of the soldiers of the first battalion to fight the devil was still there, but the morale was inevitably declining!
The Devil Cavalry Brigade also had a shrewd commander, and from the slightest details of the battle between the two armies, he could tell that something was going on here. The cavalry Shao Zuo waved his saber and commanded the devil cavalry to launch a much more fierce offensive than just now. The first battalion, which was already a little weaker, suddenly became even more precarious.
At this critical moment, two companies of the special service battalion came over, and there were hundreds of more guns at once, and the offensive of the devil cavalry was suddenly blocked.
Since Gao Quan has made a move, of course he won't be the only one, he is here to fight the devil, not to play hide and seek with the devil. As a result, the other two companies of the special service battalion made a detour to both sides of the devil cavalry brigade, so the sharpshooters of the reconnaissance battalion quietly joined the ranks of the blocking fighters, so that the division commander Gao and his guard company also came up.
The center of gravity of the interspersed detachment quickly shifted to the rear guard of the team, leaving only Zhao Ziming and his anti-Japanese decisive army in front.
When the four companies of the special service battalion, nearly 1,000 soldiers, quickly occupied the left and right flanks of the Devil's Cavalry Brigade, the time of the Devil's cavalry brigade's destruction was almost here. No army of three hundred men could survive the firing of more than a thousand guns, not even if they were devils on horseback!
When the gunfire was so intense that it was impossible to hear the specific single sound, the ghost soldiers who were sitting on their horses began to fall from their horses in groups. In the mournful neighing of the tall Oriental horses, one by one they fell to the ground, and the devils screamed in horror, slapping the beloved horses under their crotches vigorously, in a vain attempt to turn around and flee from this death zone.
In the end, the devils took advantage of the fast speed of the Oriental horses, and these more than 300 devils still escaped from Ascension under the attack of Gao Quanbu's iron bucket. It must be said that this is really a disadvantage of the infantry against the cavalry, the speed of the cavalry is too fast!
It is really too difficult to annihilate a cavalry unit with no left! As long as the cavalry was bent on escaping, they could always run out. However, even so, the cavalry unit of the devil can be regarded as annihilated, and the remaining twenty or so horses can no longer appear on the battlefield in China as a cavalry unit alone.
"Let's go!" The cavalry brigade had more than 300 horses, and after a battle, the interspersed detachment captured hundreds of Oriental war horses. When the devil was riding on a horse, how did he look at these horses and feel awkward, but once they were in his hands, he felt that these high-headed horses were really majestic.
Gao Quan is now riding on the back of a chestnut war horse, and now the interspersed detachment is actually equipped with a cavalry company. Gao Quan personally served as the commander of the cavalry company, riding a tall horse, holding a horse whip, shaking and shaking, and his heart was proud.
Ushijima ordered his detachment headquarters to move closer to the 23rd Wing. Since there were no strong combat units in his detachment, except for a squadron of guards, there were no more powerful combat units. General Ushijima, who was dazed, actually sent his baggage squadron to the forefront of the ranks. wants to use these more than 100 heavy soldiers to be the pioneer of his detachment.
The devils of the baggage squadron are not the madmen of the 23rd Wing, nor are they the idiots of the cavalry brigade who have no one in their eyes. These baggage soldiers, who have no status or nobility at all, still have some self-knowledge.
When the captain squadron leader of the baggage corps noticed that a Chinese army of more than 2,000 men was passing in front of him, he quickly ordered his brethren to stop the dangerous movement of the forward army. Of course, if he wants to retreat from the battle, this captain will never dare, but he will not dare to retreat and report to the top.
The shrewd lieutenant, in the phone call to report to the brigade commander, deliberately said something intermittently, so that His Excellency the general on the other side of the phone thought that the call signal was not good, or that the battery here was low. was so anxious that General Ushijima jumped to his feet and scolded into the microphone vigorously.
By the time His Excellency General Ushijima finally figured out what his "love general" had reported to him, Gao Quan had already left the ranks of the Japanese army with his interspersed detachment. For a while, the two sides were fine. This squadron of baggage soldiers turned out to be the only lucky squadron that was neither annihilated nor crippled after meeting with the interspersed detachment.
Gao Quan led the interspersed detachment to successfully complete the interspersed mission behind enemy lines, and after returning to the temporary headquarters, he had just received a cup of hot tea handed over by Huiqin, and before he could tell the curious Tang reporter the anecdote that happened in the interspersed detachment, a person hurriedly broke in outside.
