Chapter 479: Battle Shandong
Lu Jiang's hand holding the knife was already trembling, and his arm was also injured, and he was slashed by a Japanese wing commander in the process of charging just now.
"Lao Lu, you're injured, does it matter?" Xu Shiguo, political commissar of the Fourth Division, asked nervously.
Lu Jiang took the gauze handed over by the health center, tied a dead knot on his arm, and then said, "It's nothing." I was bitten by a mosquito, and I couldn't get in the way. Lao Xu has suffered heavy casualties among our troops, and even if a large army comes like this, our fourth division will be finished, and we have to find a way. ”
Xu Shiguo said: "Don't think about it, there is no trick in the cavalry duel, we haven't been in contact with the first division for two hours, I think as long as they don't get kicked in the head by a donkey, they will know that we must be in trouble, at most half an hour The army will come, let's continue to rush and kill." ”
"Lao Xu, what you said makes sense, okay, the whole cavalry division, launch an attack on the enemy"
"Offense"
Seeing that although the Chinese cavalry suffered heavy losses, they did not have the slightest timidity, the troops were still neat, and the momentum was even higher, at this time they took the initiative to launch a counter-charge against the imperial army. Lieutenant General Tajiro, commander of the Japanese cavalry, said to Takeda Tengichiro, chief of staff of the 98th Cavalry Division, on the side: "This group of Chinese cavalry is a real warrior and a respectable opponent. Takeda-kun will treat real opponents, and we must show the true combat strength of our Imperial Japanese Army and crush the enemy's will to fight with our katana."
"Your Excellency, please rest assured. There are less than 8,000 cavalry left, and in the past half an hour, the Imperial Army has eliminated at least 3,000 cavalry, our Imperial Japanese Army is invincible, our cavalry group is invincible, and the cavalry group is attacking."
The cavalry of both sides collided again, and at this time only the saber could prove who was the real warrior, the steel knife was flying, the blood was flowing, everything seemed to be frozen here, and the soldiers kept falling. There were Japanese troops and soldiers of the 4th Cavalry Division, and it seemed that time and space had been reversed here, back to tens or even hundreds of years ago, and there was no sound of gunfire, except for the sonorous sound of sabers colliding, only the sound of people and horses neighing.
This is a duel of cold weapons, a duel between Chinese sabers and Japanese katanas, and a duel of soldiers' will to fight. Lu Jiang cut off the head of a Japanese soldier with a single sword, and stabbed the saber into the xiōng chamber of a Japanese soldier who rushed towards him. Just as Lu Jiang drew his saber and continued to fight, a Japanese Nakasa rushed towards Lu Jiang with two young saga, and the gorgeous sword of Nakasa had already slashed towards Lu Jiang.
The guard platoon beside Lu Jiang had already been dispersed, and at this critical moment, Xu Shiguo cut off the body of the Japanese soldier in front of him with a knife, and then took out the shell gun behind him and shot it at the head of the Japanese soldier.
The Japanese soldier fell down and fell off his horse. Lu Jiang seized the opportunity to also take out his battle knife, and slashed at the Japanese soldier Shaozuo on the left. The Japanese soldier Shaozo was also an expert, and he quickly lowered his head and bent down to stick his body on the horse's back, narrowly avoiding Lu Jiang's fatal knife.
Soon the two sides staggered, and the entangled troops began to separate to the side. The two sides stopped two hundred meters away and continued to confront each other.
Lu Jiang calmed his breathing breath for a moment, and then looked around at the warriors beside him. Then he gasped and asked, "Lao Xu, how many people are left now?" ”
Xu Shiguo was also a little breathless, the battle just now had seriously consumed his physical strength, he looked at the troops like Lu Jiang, and then said: "Now the establishment is all fighting, I can't count them, but there are at least more than 7,000 people, although the little devils are numerous, but we are gathered together, the battlefield is so big, their strength advantage can't be brought into play, although our casualties are much larger than theirs, but the little devils want to destroy our four divisions in a short time." ”
"I'm not worried about the annihilation of our four divisions, but I'm worried that even if we win this battle, the four divisions will be greatly damaged, so we must minimize the casualties of our troops."
"Well, let's not talk about it, let's keep rushing, we're tired of the little devils now, it's much easier for them to come up in the first division, let's rush and kill, it's been a long time since I've had such a fun fight."
Lu Jiang laughed and said: "It's enjoyable, I fucking say that you Xu Shiguo is like a scholar, his mother was excited as soon as he went to the battlefield, but Lao Tzu chirped like a political commissar to persuade you, good, comrades, our big army is on the way here, and when our big army comes, this *** Japanese cavalry group is a scum, what we have to do now is to drag this group and must not let them escape, comrades, launch an attack on the enemy"
With Lu Jiang's saber pointing, the soldiers of the 4th Cavalry Division once again rushed towards the Japanese cavalry unit like water.
The Japanese side was not ambiguous, and with the red and blue flags waved a few times in the hands of the flag soldiers, the Japanese cavalry roared "wow, yes", and rushed towards the fourth cavalry division.
Repeating the previous steps again, the neighing of the horses, the roars of the soldiers, the fear of the soldiers dying and the sonorous sound of the swords colliding once again played a murderous battle song on the battlefield.
This is already the eighth charge this afternoon, and the physical strength of both sides has reached the limit, the frequency of the warriors wielding their sabers has slowed down significantly, and the speed of the war horses has also decreased, and some war horses even fell on the way to run, and then never got up.
At this time, the superiority of the Japanese army began to be highlighted, and after the horses could not run, the form of the entire battlefield became a large number of Japanese cavalry fighting around the four divisions, and the four divisions did not stand out from the left and right.
At this critical moment, the sound of a hurried war horse running suddenly sounded on the west side of the battlefield. Both Lu Jiang and Tian Jiro were taken aback by the sudden intervention, but then Lu Jiang became excited, because the people who came were wearing the standard military uniforms of the ancient military region, and the dark green color uniforms highlighted the majesty of the troops on the prairie.
Lieutenant General Tian Jiro is frightened and angry reinforcements appeared on the battlefield so quickly, the Ministry of Intelligence did not say that the main force of the Chinese cavalry force had already returned to Xilinhot, how could it suddenly appear on the battlefield. Immediately, Tajiro realized that this might be a trap for the squadron, a trap for him and the entire Japanese cavalry group, and the encircled Shina cavalry division was the bait that yin* they took the bait.
Hunting geese all day long was finally pecked by geese today, and Tajiro knew that he had capsized in the ditch this time. However, Tian Jiro was also a bachelor enough, and he immediately ordered the 9th and 12th Cavalry Divisions of the Imperial Allied Army, and the 23rd Cavalry Wing of the 98th Cavalry Division of the Kwantung Army to immediately step forward and hold back the reinforcements of the Chinese cavalry, and the remaining troops immediately fled to Zarut.
Lieutenant General Tian Jiro fought wishful thinking, but Aurege had long expected that the Japanese might escape, so he ordered Tong Jiayong to lead two cavalry divisions to the front to cut off their rear route.
Tian Jiro led more than 8,000 cavalry to flee more than ten miles quickly, and the team did not pursue, but concentrated on besieging the cavalry divisions of the puppet Manchukuo Defense Army. Tajiro breathed a sigh of relief, he knew better than anyone the consequences of being surrounded by the squadron, and it seemed that the squadron was coming specifically against his cavalry group this time.
Although two cavalry divisions of the Imperial Allied Army have been lost now, the main force of the Imperial Army's cavalry has not lost much, which is not a major injury to vitality, and if it is compared with the casualties of the Chinese cavalry, it can only be said to be a tie, anyway, in Tian Jiro's eyes, the Imperial Allied Army is not a real army, let alone an elite army. How much loss is not heartache, Japan's loss ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
