Chapter 354: The Duel Between the Cavalry (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything!) ）

King Tokuro fled, Suzuki fled, the defenders of the city did not have much morale in the first place, and now they did not even have a decent commander, so it was naturally impossible to organize an effective counterattack, and the result was that they were defeated in less than half an hour, most of them surrendered, and the small ones were annihilated.

After Ma Zheng entered the city, he learned that none of the most important figures in Xilinhot had been caught, and he was extremely annoyed, so he immediately ordered the third cavalry regiment to stay in Xilinhot, and the fourth regiment and the fifth regiment immediately gathered to join forces with the troops commanded by Ma Desheng to reinforce the Japanese puppet army in Kulun.

At the same time, a special combat team was sent north to find the traces of King De, as long as the king is still in the Chabei grassland, he must be caught, otherwise there will be endless disasters.

On the Duolun front, knowing that the Japanese army had moved south to reinforce Duolun City, Ma Desheng commanded the troops to continue to besiege Duolun City, and on the other hand, the main force quietly gathered in the north of Duolun City, and then went north to Sangendalai Town to meet the Japanese puppet army in the south.

Sangendalai is located in the north of Zhenglan Banner, which is the only way from Xilinhot to the southern banner county, and it is the most suitable place to intercept the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army.

On the dirt road leading to Sangendalai, tens of thousands of puppet cavalry were hurrying on their horses, and the defenders in Duolun City sent several telegrams urging them, which made Numata Jiro Osa, who was in charge of reinforcements south, irritable, and had to order his troops to speed up the march again and again.

But Numata Jiro never imagined that at the foot of a mountain col thirty kilometers away from their troops, an equally powerful cavalry unit was already arrayed, waiting for them to come to the door.

Time passed minute by minute, and after Ma Desheng's department arranged the position, they lined up neatly outside the mountain pass. At this time, a horse flew up and said loudly: "Report to the commander." The enemy has already crossed the sea nest and will be here in another twenty minutes. ”

"What is the enemy's marching formation, and have scouts been sent?" Ma Desheng asked in a deep voice.

"Report to the commander, the enemy is in an attacking formation, and the speed is fast, but no scouts are being sent."

"The whole army is ready for battle!"

"The whole army is ready for battle!"

With the order of Ma Desheng. All the soldiers unsheathed their sabers, the leading standard-bearer raised the three-meter-high flagpole high, and the blood-red battle flag hunted in the breeze, and the battle was about to break out.

This is a duel between cavalry, this ancient class of troops is about to withdraw from the stage of history, in this ancient grassland launched a saber and sabre contest.

When the cavalry units of the puppet Mongolian army turned around the mountain pass, they suddenly found that the grass not far away was lined up with neat cavalry teams, peculiar military uniforms, and fluttering blood-colored battle flags. This made the commander of the Japanese puppet army, Numata Jiro Osa, suddenly congested his head. Although he had not fought with Ma Zheng's subordinates, he had heard of the name of this army.

This is almost the same as the imperial army's military uniform, and the bizarre military uniform is their symbol, and you can know the number of this army at a glance. However, after recognizing the number of this cavalry, Numata Jiro's was also half cold.

Although he didn't know very well what the combat effectiveness of the people on the other side was, he knew that the combat effectiveness of the army under his command was already scummy, and it was even weaker after King De transferred more than half of the officers, and he encountered such a large-scale elite of China. Big trouble.

Fortunately, the strength of the people on the opposite side seems to be only five or six thousand, which is about half less than them. This gave Numata Jiro a glimmer of hope.

But before he could react, the cavalry troops on the opposite side launched an attack, first a platoon of more than 60 mortars to exert their might, and under the control of the gunners, launched an artillery bombardment on Numata Jiro's headquarters.

"Woohoo!" Mortars distinctively streak across the sky, and violent explosions ringing in the ears.

"Boom Boom"

Shells exploded in the horse team. The screams of horses, the neighing of horses, and the explosion of cannonballs resounded throughout the battlefield, and the cavalry behind did not know the situation and were still rushing in, while the cavalry inside was eager to retreat, and suddenly there was chaos in the camp of Numata Jiro.

Seeing that the enemy's camp was in chaos, Ma Desheng pointed forward with the saber in his hand. The mouth shouted loudly: "Cavalry group, attack!" ”

Hearing Ma Desheng's familiar command to charge, all the knights raised their sabers in their hands and began to charge.

The charge of thousands of people, the momentum of galloping mountains and seas, has the courage to crush everything. And Numata Jiro, who had not yet recovered from the shock, hurriedly waved the saber in his hand and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”。

Under the command of Numata Jiro, more than 10,000 puppet troops also rushed to Ma Desheng's headquarters in a chaotic formation, with the puppet army in front and the Japanese army behind.

Numata Jiro knew that he was calculated by the Shina people today, and if he couldn't eliminate the Shina cavalry in front of him, not only would the defenders in Duolun City be completely wiped out, but even they would have to be explained here, and they would be completely wiped out from this grassland by the Shina people, and there would be no armor left.

To be honest, Jiro Numata is really a little scared now. He knew very well that these imperial troops under his command had a few catties and taels, and it was okay to bluff and bluff the common people in the pastoral areas in peacetime, and it was nothing to deal with ordinary bandits, but if they fought with the elite troops of the national government, they might be slightly inferior.

However, it is the powerful cavalry elite of Ma Zheng's department that is facing now, and this is not just a question of whether or not to fall behind, but whether or not to escape. Before I came, I didn't hear that bastard Sasaki say that the people of China had so many elite cavalry, and at that time, General Suzuki also specifically told him that if he could save it, he would try his best to save Sasaki's department, and if he couldn't save it, he could rely on the strong mobility of the cavalry to retreat.

Who the said that it could be withdrawn, such a huge cavalry of the Zhina people, even if it is encountered in ordinary times, it is extremely tricky, not to mention that now these imperial alliance troops are not fully organized, except for a few division commanders, more than half of the grassroots officers are missing, how should this battle be fought.

But these thoughts only flashed through Numata Jiro's head, and there was not so much time to think about them now. He knew that all he could do now was to fight hard, the saber of the Chinese man had reached his chest, and he had no way out.

In order to survive, for the glory and wealth of the second half of his life, Numata Jiro still hardened his scalp and gave the order to charge.

Soon, the two cavalry units collided violently, the two horses staggered, and the sabers flew. Compared with the Mongolian scimitar, the sabers equipped by Ma Zheng's cavalry group are all from the original Japanese cavalry group, which is not only lighter in weight, but also sharper in blade, which is more suitable for cavalry troops.

Screams rang out, severed limbs were flying, and horses were roaring. At this moment, all the people are fully engaged in this battle, no one dares to be distracted, no one dares to be careless, because distraction and carelessness often cost their lives, and human life is only once, and it is the most precious thing that is difficult to squander.

After more than ten minutes of killing, Numata Jiro finally broke through the entanglement of the 61st Army, and the two cavalry units gradually separated, gathering and gathering to the side until the next charge.

From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., the battlefield was littered with the corpses of horses and soldiers, and the entire prairie was bleeding.

The one-hour battle made Numata Jiro clearly understand the strong combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department, and he charged three times in a row, and his troops were reduced by 20%, which means that in this short one-hour battle, more than 2,000 cavalry were killed on the battlefield, which is not counting the wounded.

On the other hand, although the other party also had casualties, but there were very few, almost all the corpses on the battlefield were his soldiers, and the soldiers killed on the other side definitely did not exceed three hundred.

Such a disparity in casualties made Numata Jiro think of retreating, but he was more worried that once the troops retreated, it would instantly turn into an escape, and once the Shina people pursued, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But seeing these panicked soldiers in front of him who didn't have any will to fight, Numata Jiro knew that he had to make up his mind, and if he stayed, the result would only be to give the head and merit to the people of China, and there was no need. After another charge, taking advantage of the sharpness of the two armies, Numata Jiro gave the order to the troops to retreat, and then led the puppet army to retreat north. (To be continued.) )
