Chapter 528: Massacre

Before he gave the order to shoot, the rout was still thirty or forty meters away from the forward position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And now, after such a rout, there are only the last twenty meters left.

More importantly, the closer the rout is to the forward position, the more the rout feels that the greater hope of survival, and the faster and more fierce the impact on the forward position.

At this speed, more than 1,000 routs have not been killed, and the rest of the routs have already entered the forward position, breaking up the only defense line that can block the cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

"Yaga, it shouldn't have turned out like this. Order the troops to increase their firepower, and must not let the rout troops enter our defensive line! The chief of staff of the division, who became more and more anxious, ordered loudly.

As more and more Japanese troops joined the battle, so did the casualties of the rout.

To the chief of staff's rejoice, the rout, as if crazy, finally stopped at the position twenty meters in front of the formation. No matter how much they rushed, they couldn't take another step forward.

But just as more and more of the rout stopped here and turned into corpses, the cavalry that had been following them all along.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen raised their sabers and quickly fought into the middle of the rout. With bursts of sword light flashing, the heads of the people flew up and separated from the Japanese army's body.

As far as the eye could see, the three cavalry battalions of the 1st Cavalry Regiment were like three invincible huge chariots, quickly crushing the Japanese position. The Japanese soldiers encountered along the way, without exception, were first separated from their corpses, and then crushed into a pile of meat paste.

When the forward position of the Japanese army was about to kill these routs, three unstoppable chariots rushed exactly twenty meters in front of the formation.

"Baga, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army is coming up, shoot quickly, shoot immediately, and block them!" As soon as the cavalry regiment appeared in front of the Japanese army, the Japanese officers at all levels in the forward position panicked and rushed to order their subordinates to shoot.

At this time, the cavalry's peak speed had reached its best, and the distance of twenty meters only took a few seconds for them.

In addition, the battle of more than a thousand cavalry charging together was too big and too terrifying. In the forward position of the Japanese army, in the face of the cavalry group that was close at hand, many people's hands holding weapons could not help but begin to tremble.

The cavalry regiment attacked in three formations, and after losing one or two hundred men in a row, it directly rammed into the forward position of the Japanese army.

A flash of sword light, the Japanese soldiers on the forward position who were already with frightened expressions fell to the ground one after another, with a face full of unwillingness, and fell heavily on the position.

The Japanese army, who was lucky enough to escape the first round of splitting, faced the unstoppable killing god of the cavalry, their first reaction was to flee for their lives.

But frightened, they forgot that they only had two legs, and four of the Liaodong cavalry that killed them behind them retreated.

As soon as they ran backwards less than ten meters, the cavalry who had cut down the forward position caught up.

When more and more cavalry entered the Japanese position and began to charge back and forth in the position, the Japanese troops on the position immediately became chaotic.

The two cavalry regiments, which attacked from both flanks, took advantage of the situation to attack the Japanese position, which had almost no resistance.

"It's over, one of my divisions is over!" Seeing that one after another subordinates on the battlefield were slaughtered by the cavalry division of the Liaodong Army, the division commander with a shocked face spent half a minute digesting this takeover, and then said to himself with an incredible face.

The captain of the brigade who was responsible for the safety of the division commander, after seeing that more and more cavalry were joining the battle on the battlefield, knew that the division commander had no possibility of turning defeat into victory, and regardless of whether the division commander was willing or not, he directly ordered his subordinates to retreat back with the division commander on his side.

The division commander washed the artillery, and the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield did not have the courage to continue fighting.

In front of the cavalry, there is no ability to resist at all, and the cavalry is allowed to slaughter! ”

Half an hour later, all the Japanese troops on the frontal battlefield were cleared.

At the end of the battle, there were nearly 5,000 soldiers in the cavalry division, and everyone had more or less Japanese blood on their bodies.

As for the Japanese positions strewn with corpses, they were already enveloped in a strong smell of blood.

Because, the battlefield after the cavalry swept was too tragic, although the battlefield was full of Japanese corpses, it was difficult to find a complete corpse.

Everywhere there were Japanese heads rolling around, stumps and arms severed by sabers, or internal organs trampled out by horses' hooves...... A large amount of blood flowed from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and almost the entire battlefield was dyed red.

Wu Xin, the commander of the cavalry division who did not participate in the attack, was standing beside Huang Zhongxin and Xu Hai at this time.

As a division commander, he had long been mentally prepared for the tragedy after the cavalry engagement. But Huang Zhongxin and Xu Hai next to them did not, looking at the battlefield a few hundred meters away, the two of them took half a minute to react.

Wu Xin didn't give the two of them much time to hesitate, and directly ordered: "According to the reconnaissance, the two subsequent divisions and heavy artillery brigades of the Japanese army are still on the way here, they all brought a lot of heavy equipment, and it is impossible to rush here without two or three hours!" ”

"So, the task given to us by the commander, we have basically completed!"

"But I think there is one more thing we should do before retreating, eat the three remaining Japanese infantry brigades around!"

"The three infantry brigades all brought a large number of light and heavy machine guns, which was very unfavorable for cavalry combat, so the Japanese troops of these three brigades could only be handed over to you."

"My idea is that you will split into three and attack the Japanese troops of these three brigades separately! I have drawn three battalions of cavalry to cooperate with you. The remaining two cavalry regiments will set off now, destroy the official road, slow down the Japanese army's march, and buy a little more time for our second division to repair the position! ”

After dividing the troops, Xu Hai immediately took the remnants of the Second Regiment, a mountain artillery battalion, and a cavalry battalion to kill the Japanese army a few miles away.

Because the Liaodong Army ended the battle too quickly, and the Japanese troops who escaped were all chased and killed by the cavalry, except for the division commanders and some guards who had war horses and fled to the two divisions, the rest of the Japanese troops were all killed.

The Japanese troops blocking here did not know that the main force had been wiped out, and they had become fat meat for the Liaodong Army to bite into their mouths.

When Xu Hai and his troops appeared in front of them, they also thought that the Liaodong Army was planning to break through.

More than 1,000 Japanese troops, ready to fight, did not have any intention of escaping.

"A bunch of fools!" After seeing the Japanese army's arrangement through the binoculars, Xu Hai was stunned at first, and then said with a look of contempt.

Seeing the eager expressions of several battalion commanders, Xu Hai decisively ordered: "The artillery battalion will immediately set up its position, and when it is finished, it will open fire, and blow up all the light and heavy machine guns in the hands of the Japanese army!" ”

"Chief of Staff, you organize the troops to attack! The cavalry battalion is on standby, as long as the Japanese army in front of you is defeated by us, you will immediately attack, chase the Japanese army and fight them, and wipe them out! ”

Soon, the screech of shells across the sky sounded on the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
