The 110th Division was originally subordinate to the battle sequence of the Kwantung Army, and the area responsible for the security of the Jiamusi front line was the predecessor of the famous Akiyama Cavalry Unit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Akiyama cavalry unit was named after the father of the Japanese cavalry, Akiyama Yoshiko, who was known to have short horses since ancient times and were not suitable for cavalry combat. Later, Akiyama Yoshiko studied cavalry in France and saw the power of European war horses, so after returning to Japan, Akiyama Yoshiko strongly recommended the Anglo-Norman horse to the Ministry of War, and this suggestion was finally adopted by Emperor Meiji of Japan.

When the army was first established, Japan invited a military advisory group from France to assist in the formation of Japanese cavalry units, so the Japanese cavalry had a strong French flavor. Before the Russo-Japanese War, Japan organized two cavalry brigades, the commanders of which were Prince Zaihito of Kanin and Yoshiko Akiyama, both of whom graduated from the French Cavalry School.

And Japan also made a big breakthrough in cavalry tactics, and showed great magic in using light cavalry to break diplomatic relations and detours. Prince Zaihito of the palace was the first to advocate the deployment of light machine guns in the cavalry units, and Akiyama Yoshiko broke 100,000 with 8,000 in the Battle of Heitaigou, killing the world's first Cossack cavalry corpses all over the field, just looking at the background, the cavalry wing of the 110th Division was only the most famous Hessian cavalry wing in the Japanese cavalry unit could compete with it.

After receiving the order, the commander of the 110th Cavalry Wing, Hayao Miyazaki, immediately ordered his troops and horses to attack. The 110th Cavalry Wing did not disappoint Major General Shigeji Takeda either, and Miyazaki knew that although his cavalry wing was strong, it was not much stronger than the cavalry brigade just now, and it would certainly not be too good if the traditional tactics used by the cavalry brigade just now were adopted.

Therefore, Miyazaki did not order the troops to rush forward in a swarm, but ordered the entire cavalry wing to be divided into three batches, the first batch was the fourth cavalry squadron with the weakest combat effectiveness of the entire cavalry wing, the second batch was the rapid-fire artillery squadron of the cavalry wing, and the third batch was the remaining three cavalry brigades.

Miyazaki's tactic was obvious, that is, first let the weakest combat squadron of the 4th Cavalry Squadron act as cannon fodder to buy time for the rapid-fire gun squadron, then use the rapid-fire gun squadron to destroy or suppress the machine guns of the opposing defenders' positions, and finally charge the large force.

This is also to blame Li Ergou's machine gun position for the lack of morality, the position of the entire machine gun company is in a turning place, and only a small section can be seen in a straight line, so although the range of the Japanese rapid-fire guns can be detected, but they can't be stopped, so they can only get close and fight again.

Miyazaki's tactics were very successful, as soon as the 4th Cavalry Squadron rushed up, the rapid-fire artillery squadron followed, and as soon as it approached the defenders' positions, the 4th Cavalry Squadron was in front, while the Japanese troops in the rapid-fire artillery squadron quickly dismounted and quickly installed a small-caliber rapid-fire mortar.

This rapid-fire gun, which was specially equipped for cavalry units, actually had no other advantages, that is, it had a fast rate of fire and was simple to install. Very quickly, the artillery squadron was installed, and the first round of test firing was carried out.

"Boom ......", "Boom ......", "Boom ......"

Before the machine gun company could adjust to the 4th Cavalry Squadron, the position was bombarded by the Japanese rapid-fire gun squadron. Although there were no casualties in the first round of test firing, Wang Hu, the commander of the machine gun company, knew that this time he was going to suffer, just as the machine gun company was the best weapon to clean up the cavalry troops, and the artillery unit was also the best weapon to clean up the machine gun company, so it can be said that the artillery was the nemesis of the machine gun unit.

Especially for heavy machine guns that are difficult to move, a Type 92 heavy machine gun weighs 55 kilograms, and it is difficult for one person to move this big guy, so each heavy machine gun needs more than four soldiers to operate, in addition to the machine gunner, there are two secondary shooters and one ammunition driver for ammunition. Light machine guns are fine enough to move positions if they can't, but heavy machine guns simply can't move for long periods of time, so heavy machine guns are vulnerable to artillery bombardment, not to mention the more bulky anti-aircraft machine guns.

Miyazaki's deal is very cost-effective, a cavalry squadron for a reinforced machine gun company he still earns, but Wang Hu is not a vegetarian, knowing that the Japanese artillery will bombard the position fiercely next, so he asked Li Desheng, the commander of the sharp knife battalion, for help, because Wang Hu knew that Li Desheng also had a mortar company in his hand.

In addition to the two Type 92 infantry guns, that company was also equipped with six 60 mortars, and if the artillery company was not supported at this time, his machine gun company would soon be bombed to slag by the Japanese army.

Li Desheng is also aware of the current situation, even if Wang Hu does not ask him for help, he will not dare to sit idly by. Compared with the artillery squadron of the 110th Cavalry Wing, which was hastily deployed, the artillery company of the Sharp Knife Battalion had already established its own artillery position, and also established a firing unit for all areas of the firing range.

There is still a gap between the artillery of the cavalry unit and the artillery of the infantry unit, and although the artillery of the cavalry unit is equipped with a fast rate of fire and simple operation, its artillery is not only small in caliber, but also has a short firing range, and the artillery unit of the synchronous corps is simply incomparable.

However, even so, Miyazaki Hakuichi Nakasa did not let the artillery squadron withdraw, but ordered the remaining six mortars to continue firing, and ordered the artillery unit to ignore the enemy artillery and concentrate fire on the defenders' machine-gun positions.

Wang Hu did not expect that even if there was an artillery unit to suppress it, the Japanese artillery unit would continue to fire shells at his machine gun position, and in just two minutes, the machine gun company would lose 1 heavy machine gun and 1 anti-aircraft machine gun. It's okay to say that heavy machine guns, after all, the East and West Military Districts can now produce them themselves, and the output is also considerable, and it is nothing to lose a few units.

But there are only a few anti-aircraft machine guns in the entire military district, and the 10 brigade has a total of four, and the loss of one is enough to heartache.

At the same time, the troops also began to suffer casualties, just now the two Japanese charges did not cause casualties in the machine gun company, but after a burst of shelling, Wang Hu was heartbroken to find that 11 soldiers were killed and 9 soldiers were wounded.

However, the Japanese artillery unit could only end there, because the last mortar of the Japanese artillery squadron was also destroyed by the Chinese artillery unit.

Hayao Miyazaki was also a good man, and when the last mortar was destroyed, he ordered all the cavalry of the 110th Cavalry Wing to immediately charge the position of the machine gun company.

This time, Hayao Miyazaki made a bloody investment, and more than a thousand cavalrymen, including himself, received orders to fight to the death and not retreat, and would definitely not retreat unless they broke through the positions of the defenders on the opposite side.

And in order to deal with the defenders' machine-gun company, Miyazaki Hadaichi ordered the machine-gun squadron of the 110th Cavalry Wing to rush to the front of everyone, and if it could rush to the defenders' positions, it would be fine, and once the attack was blocked, the machine-gun squadron would immediately set up a machine-gun position on the spot to counterattack and suppress the machine guns of the Shina army.

To deal with the trap, Miyazaki ordered each of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron to carry a large bag of sand, which he was to fill in a road.

The sound of the war horse collapsing sounded again, Wang Hu knew that the Japanese army was about to charge again, but this time the firepower of the machine gun company was not as fierce as before, but Wang Hu did not flinch, he knew that his machine gun company was the protagonist of today, although there were more than 600 people in the sharp knife battalion behind, but the firepower was not as fierce as his machine gun company. If they lose, then the next battle will really be difficult to fight.

"Da Da Da ......"

The distinctive sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun sounded again, and as soon as the Japanese cavalry unit entered the range of the machine gun, Wang Hu ordered the troops to open fire.

However, due to the loss of more than 20 soldiers and several heavy machine guns at once, the firepower of the machine gun company was significantly weakened, and at the same time, the Japanese cavalry also held machine guns while charging, which posed a great threat to the machine gun company.

This time, the speed of the Japanese cavalry center was not fast, and the whole army was consciously divided into three sections, the first section was more than 30 light machine gunners, the second section was more than 130 soldiers with horse sandbags, and finally the cavalry with mounted spears in their hands.

This time, due to the suppression of the machine gunners, the firepower advantage of the machine gun company was suddenly offset a lot, although because the Japanese cavalry could not be equipped with heavy machine guns, so the defenders were still in an advantage in firepower, but the absolute superiority at the beginning of the war had disappeared without a trace.

On the way to the charge, the Japanese cavalry kept falling from their horses, but the distance of a few hundred meters was only two minutes for the cavalry, and soon the Japanese cavalry rushed to the "horse pit".

Such a wide and deep trench, let alone a war horse, can be trapped even by a chariot, so the Japanese machine gun squadron counterattacked on the spot while covering the second cavalry squadron to step up the filling of the pit. (To be continued.) )
