Chapter 742: Cavalry Assault

In the next two hours, more than 2,000 devil cavalry directly reconnoitred and advanced in the direction where Dashanyan was located, and the sappers left here by Dashanyan also left the station one after another and repaired the official road in the direction of Dashanyan.

At this moment, the purpose of the devil's assembly was exposed, and he moved closer to the direction where the big mountain rock was.

After the nearly 200 mountain artillery pieces set up in the middle of the garrison by the Japanese army were all put away and mounted on the horses, the 30,000 people under the command of Li Zhilong had formed a loose encirclement around the Guizi station.

Except for the mortars and mountain artillery scattered to the regiments, the heavy artillery regiments directly under the Fourth Army were all facing a point on the devil's defensive line.

The Liaodong Army, which was responsible for attacking this section of the line, was not infantry, but cavalry.

More than 5,000 cavalry of the cavalry division were lurking in a hill nearly two kilometers from the position.

In addition to the cavalry, the strength of the two regiments of the guard division was also concentrated here, and the division commander Li Xiaohu personally commanded it, followed behind the cavalry, occupied and expanded the breakthrough opened by the cavalry.

Seeing that the devils in the barracks seemed to be preparing to hurry, Li Zhilong decisively gave the order to attack.

"Start attacking, hit the devil by surprise. In particular, the cavalry division used the fastest speed to enter the devil's station, kill the devil's artillery unit, disrupt their artillery, and not give them a chance to set up artillery to counterattack! ”

Soon, three signal flares rose into the air behind Li Zhilong. Immediately after a series of piercing screams, a dull explosion of the three provinces sounded in the air.

As soon as the explosion sounded, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers scattered around the Japanese began to fire.

In particular, as soon as the more than 30 shells fired by the heavy artillery regiment smashed into the devil's position with a piercing scream, a fireball mixed with billowing black smoke rose from the ground, and a violent explosion also resounded in the Japanese position.

After just one round of artillery fire, the position of the devils stationed in a brigade was covered by artillery fire and gunsmoke.

The Japanese troops in the garrison certainly did not expect that they would be attacked at this time.

The devils who were covered by artillery fire, because of the smoke of gunpowder, Li Zhilong could not see their reaction.

But Li Zhilong watched every move of the devils in the barracks.

When the shelling began, the first reaction of the resident devils was to lie on the ground, and then they began to run around the position in panic.

It wasn't until the Liaodong Army fired the third round of artillery shells that the panicked devil artillery was ordered by the officer to untie the mountain artillery that had been put on the horses, and then began to set up the artillery and counterattack.

At this time, the infantry defense line blocking them had been blown into a sea of flames, especially the infantry brigade that was taken care of by the heavy artillery regiment, even if they were all lying in the trenches, they would inevitably die.

In just one minute, the Devil's infantry brigade lost two or three hundred people. The rest of the devils lay in the trenches, praying to God that the heavy artillery shells falling from the sky would not fall on them and explode.

Just as they lay in the trenches under artillery fire, their faces painful and tormented for every second.

The cavalry division two kilometers away had all mounted their horses, holding the reins of their horses in one hand and their rifles in the other.

The heavy artillery regiment fired five more rounds of shells, and the cavalry division rushed to a position less than three hundred meters away from the devil's defensive line.

With the current charging speed of the cavalry, it will be possible to kill the devil's position in a maximum of twenty seconds.

Liu Sen, the commander of the heavy artillery regiment, who had been staring at the charging speed of the cavalry division, decisively ordered the heavy artillery regiment to stop the shelling. Then, battalions and companies were used as units to provide artillery support to attacking troops from other directions.

At this time, there were less than three hundred people left in the Devil Infantry Brigade that was targeted by the heavy artillery regiment.

After the heavy artillery regiment stopped shelling, before they could react from the shock, the sound of horses' hooves shaking the ground and mountains reached their ears.

Some of the quick-reacting devil officers immediately exclaimed.

"Baga, it's cavalry, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army rushed over. Those who can still move immediately stand up and fight back and block the cavalry, otherwise we will all die. ”

The devil, who was still shrouded in gunsmoke, was startled at first, and then picked up his rifle and lay down on the almost razed position and shot forward.

Because the light and heavy machine guns were almost destroyed in the shelling just now, the more than 200 devils, except for five or six devils who shot a string of bullets forward with their shoulders against the light machine guns, the remaining riflemen all pulled the bolt as fast as they could, shot, and continued to pull the bolt. Use your speed as fast as you can, and keep doing the same action to shoot the bullet out of the bullet.

At this time, the fastest cavalry had rushed to the front of the formation more than a hundred meters.

In the face of the devil's counterattack, although the cavalry division continued to have people fall off their horses and die on the way to the charge. But this loss could not stop the cavalry attack at all, and as the cavalry rushed closer and closer, the rifles held by the cavalry were already flat.

When the figure of the devil from a hundred meters away clearly entered their field of vision, these cavalrymen did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

After the gunshots rang out, they didn't care whether they hit the target or not, they directly inserted their rifles into their holsters, then drew their sabers, held them high in their hands, and the blades moved forward, ready to launch a final attack on the devils.

After a string of bean gunshots, more than 200 devils fell again, and more than 100 people fell.

There were more than a hundred devils left, and before they could shoot two rounds of bullets, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army with their sabers held high rushed in front of them.

A flash of knife light flashed, and the devil's head with a shocked expression was directly cut off by the saber and rolled down next to the corpse, and he was still staring at a pair of dead eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of cavalry who rushed to the front drowned more than a hundred devils without setting off a single wave.

After breaking through the devil's infantry defense line with lightning speed, the cavalry division did not need to stop, and continued to kill in the middle of the garrison.

Originally, the cavalry division still had a baggage wing in front of the devils.

But in order to facilitate the journey, the baggage wing of more than 1,000 devils has already gathered on both sides of the official road with carts.

With such a good opportunity to rush and kill, the cavalry division will definitely not let it go.

More than 5,000 cavalrymen, as if they had entered a no-man's land, as soon as they entered the devil's station, they took the battalion as a unit and scattered to kill the devil's artillery that they were targeting.

The devil artilleryman who was setting up the artillery subconsciously reacted to panic.

Infantry is no match for cavalry on the field battlefield, let alone unarmed them.

But the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and it took only a dozen seconds to rush through a distance of a few hundred meters.

Before the panicked devils could react, the cavalry killed them in front of them.

In an instant, dozens of gunners in the outermost part of the artillery position were cut to pieces by sabers.

The devil, who had long been panicked, didn't even have the idea of resisting in the face of imminent death, and fled for his life in a swarm.

No matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't be a four-legged opponent, and as soon as the cavalry division enters the artillery position, the devils who are fleeing for their lives are constantly hacked to death by sabers on the way to escape.

As for the surrounding devil logistics troops, in the face of the murderous cavalry division, they didn't even have the idea of getting closer, and fled directly to the surroundings. To be continued.
