Chapter Forty-Seven: The Baggage Regiment Goes into Battle
"Your Excellency Dazuo, a brigade of cavalry of the Chinese army has appeared on our left flank!" The communications corps ran over to report the latest discovery.
"Cavalry? Good! Very good! Kuroda Noichiro was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face became even more proud, "Even the cavalry has appeared, and the Chinese army in front is really not small!" Order Watanabe and Yamada's troops to speed up the pace of the attack! The Nakajima troops sent out the first squadron to block the cavalry of the Chinese army! ”
Kuroda is aware of the role of cavalry in modern warfare. Even the cavalry wing of the 40th Division is basically responsible for reconnaissance tasks, and the elite 40th Cavalry Wing has never collectively launched a large-scale charge against the Chinese army, let alone the Chinese cavalry. It is enough to send a squadron to keep an eye on it.
"Hey!" The signal soldier got the order, turned around and ran away.
Kuroda Notaro's judgment was accurate, Kong Xuan's cavalry regiment really had no intention of charging the devils, and his cavalry just placed cold guns far away around the devil's wing, and they had no intention of approaching at all.
The cavalry kept running back and forth, cold guns and cold bullets kept fighting, and from time to time a certain unlucky ghost was shot by the devils on the periphery. However, this level of casualties obviously cannot hurt the fundamentals of the 234th Wing, and the devils have no intention of stopping the attack.
Although Fan Berlin's artillery can cause a certain degree of damage to the devils, because the artillery cannot fire heartily, they always have to transfer after a few shots, which leads to the weakening of the power of the cannon. The devil's artillery chased and fought every time, and as soon as this side was transferred, the devil's shells chased after him, and Commander Fan didn't dare to stop if he wanted to. He couldn't get too close to the military headquarters, for fear of luring the devil to the military seat, so he circled back and forth around a radius of several kilometers.
The devil is getting closer and closer, and the number of soldiers in the artillery regiment who can be used for close combat is getting smaller and smaller, and just when Commander Fan was sweating profusely, the reinforcements of the special service regiment finally came up!
How rich should Sun Yuanqing's combat experience be? As soon as the men and horses of the special task force came up, Commander Sun led the people to rush to the front of the artillery and immediately withstood the attack of the devils. The special service regiment was in front, the artillery regiment was firing shells in the back, and the cavalry regiment was making trouble around, and the three directly subordinate regiments of the 500 Army cooperated, not only withstanding the attack of the Kuroda Wing, but also taking back the advantage that the devil had always occupied in one fell swoop!
"Yaga!" This time it was Kuroda's turn to scold Yaga. Kuroda Dazuo was so angry in his heart, knowing that there was the command organ of a certain Chinese army in front of him, and seeing that this credit was about to be taken in his hands, he was now watching it fly away! Who should not be angry?
Kuroda Daisa, who felt that the troops were not enough, sent a telegram to the commander of Naojiro Amako's division asking for reinforcements. The division commander called back: The division is advancing to Changsha City under the order of the military headquarters, and asks the 234th Wing to quickly solve the enemy in front of it and move closer to the division headquarters as soon as possible! Solve it as soon as possible, which means: there are no reinforcements, if you can beat you, you can fight quickly, if you can't beat it, come over quickly, don't waste time there! That's not the point! Co-authored Kuroda Osa is desperately trying with the Chinese army here to delay his work?
Not to mention Kuroda, who has a flawed personality himself, no matter how healthy he is, he has to be angry when he sees his superiors give him such a reply!
Kuroda Dazuo has a more stoic personality, which is what our people say, a tendon, lack of heart and eyes, a bit of two hundred and five. This guy pondered, so he went back to Changsha with the division, even if he occupied Changsha City, he didn't have much credit? Obviously, he has been delayed here for so long, and now it's too late to go! Then it is better to exert more strength and work hard here, in case if you pick up a bargain, kill the command of the Chinese army, and catch a big official or something, wouldn't it be meritorious and show your face?
Wing Captain Kuroda continued to send a telegram to the commander of the Tiangu Division, asking for aviation and aircraft support! Naojiro Amago received a telegram and looked at it, hey! This Kuroda! Do you think the Air Force is run by my family? If you want an airplane, it has to be approved by the military department, and Commander Anan has to give an order! The big guys are rushing to Changsha now, and they are going to occupy Changsha City, who has time to take care of you? Want a plane? No! Call back: The air force is bombing Changsha, and I hope that Kuroda-kun will break through the resistance and strive to make meritorious contributions to Changsha as soon as possible!
The 234th Wing and the 40th Division exchanged telegrams constantly, and the devil's attack never stopped. The three regiments directly under the 500 Army and the Devil Wing are getting better and better.
Gao Quan waited on the side with the military headquarters, just waiting to drive this group of devils away, so that he could go to Piaofeng Ridge to command the army to encircle and annihilate the 23rd Wing. There was no result on the left, no movement on the right, and the calls were all about the battle raging! Commander Gao looked at it, this is not good! He can't stay here!
Gao Quan also had a troop at hand, the baggage regiment. The baggage regiments of the 500th Army generally did not participate in the battle. With those main brigades, plus the special service regiment and reconnaissance regiment in the direct team, it is not the turn of the baggage soldiers to go to the battlefield, and it is enough for these people to just drive the car and pull things, and they have never had their share in the war. But this time, it won't work, Gao Quan is in a hurry to get rid of this enemy, so he has no choice but to press the baggage regiment up, strive for absolute superiority in troops, and beat the devil away at once!
After receiving the order, the commander of the baggage regiment was overjoyed, saying that he was the commander of the 500 Army, and he had not killed a devil with his own hands until now! In the past, the officers gathered at the military headquarters, and the commander of the baggage regiment was basically a forgotten person, and he had no record to say! Now that Junzao has finally shown mercy, he remembers that there is such a person as him, there is nothing to say, go up and fight! The commander of the baggage regiment led two battalions and ran up! He had to leave a battalion to watch over the livestock, and if any mules and horses were startled and lost their food, there would be no way to account for it!
After the baggage regiment was dispatched, the guard company surrounded the military headquarters. The current military headquarters, in addition to the guard company, half a company of scouts, that is, the hundreds of carts and a battalion of coachmen outside! There is a communications battalion, but it is only a battalion-level establishment, and the communications soldiers are scattered in various directly subordinate units to report news, and there are less than 100 communications soldiers left in the military headquarters. Today's military headquarters is the time when the guard force is the weakest, and there is no way for Company Commander Hu not to raise all his spirit.
Gao Quan got out of the car and stretched out his arms to do two chest expansion exercises, and then did two squats down, moving his somewhat stiff body. It has been rainy and snowy days in northern Hunan for the past two days, and there is a lot of muddy water on the ground, but the place where the military headquarters stopped is relatively high, and there is basically no water accumulation.
Hong Yingying and the three of them also got out of the car, standing on the side of the car and looking curiously left and right, talking in a low voice. The three women soaked together all day long, and there were endless words to talk about every day.
The jujube red horse was tied to a large cart not far away, and Gao Quan strode over, untied the horse's reins, and loosened his beloved horse. The jujube red horse arched affectionately on Gao Quan's arm. If it weren't for the fierce gunfire in the distance, it would be a beautiful picture of harmony between a man and an animal.
A few barking dogs were heard, and someone ran from the side of the convoy with two large gray-black dogs.
