Chapter 325: Annihilation
"Start attacking......" Zhou Qiangsheng gave the order, and then raised his binoculars to look at the battlefield. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In less than ten seconds, the screams of three flares across the sky broke the silence of the battlefield and reached everyone's ears.
Immediately after, three signal flares that flew into the sky exploded, forming three brilliant fireworks in the sky.
The 2nd Division was equipped with 60 heavy machine guns, more than 100 Madsen light machine guns, and more than 5,000 rifles, and immediately fired a dense array of bullets at the devils sitting on the official road.
Zhou Qiangsheng clearly saw that the devil of a squadron directly opposite him was killed or wounded before he could make any reaction under the fire of his two companies with four heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, and more than 200 rifles.
The remaining devil cavalry, in the face of such powerful firepower, could only lie on the spot on the official road to counterattack.
As for the war horse that was close to him and left on the side of the road, at this moment, it has become a luxury for the remaining devils.
So fierce, and under condescending firepower.
Even if they lie on the ground, they can't avoid death, let alone raise their heads to become a live target for the Liaodong Army.
At the beginning of the battle, the two of them were tasting the exquisite jerky prepared for them by the orderlies, with an expression that was both arrogant and full of confidence.
In their opinion, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is, it is all a boast of replenishing troops.
As soon as they encountered the cavalry units of the Imperial Japanese Army, they became vulnerable.
Therefore, the two wing commanders did not take the Liaodong Army in their eyes at all.
At this moment, the Liaodong Army opened fire.
The dense bullets stunned the two wing leaders at once.
Seat cavalry wing commanders, they know very well that on the battlefield, light and heavy machine guns are a nightmare for cavalry.
And in front of him, the Liaodong Army, which he despised himself, was actually equipped with such a large number of light and heavy machine guns.
What's more, the more than 3,000 cavalry under his command are now resting, and the war horses are not around.
For cavalry. Losing their horses, their combat strength is not even half.
Therefore, in the face of a sudden attack, their reaction speed was obviously half a beat slower than that of ordinary reinforcements.
And that's the half-beat time. Let their instantaneous casualties be hundreds more than the replenishment.
The captain of the two cavalry wings of the Japanese army, after being thrown to the ground by the guards, although he was very embarrassed, he survived.
However, there was not a hint of surprise on the faces of the two wing commanders.
The battle that came out of nowhere. suddenly subverted the understanding of the Liaodong Army in the hearts of the two people.
Such powerful machine-gun fire, coupled with the special terrain here and the unpreparedness of oneself.
In just an instant, the two of them understood that they had been ambushed by the Liaodong Army.
The Liaodong Army, which constantly harassed and slowed down itself along the way, did not want to block itself from reinforcing Fengcheng, but to eliminate itself.
Of course, even so, the two wing commanders still did not despair.
After glancing at the surrounding terrain and the firepower configuration of the Liaodong Army, one of the wing commanders immediately ordered.
"There are mountains on both sides of the official road, and the enemy has also deployed a lot of firepower to disperse the assault on both sides. It's no different from sending you to death......"
"We are cavalry, we have speed, as long as we attack back along the official road, we will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement......"
"Quick, find your own war horse, assault backwards, and highlight the ...... of the Liaodong Army's encirclement"
The Wing Commander's order was given, but to his despair, it was impossible for him to carry out his order.
The guards lying beside them were just about to raise their heads and greet their horses. Bullets flew at them.
A dozen guards, in the blink of an eye, were beaten into a hornet's nest by several heavy machine guns that were aimed at them.
"Wing Commander, the enemy's fire is too heavy. Staring at us...... We can't move at all......" The squadron leader, who was lying beside him, said with a painful look on his face when he saw the tragic appearance of more than a dozen subordinates before they died.
"Bage Yalu, this must be a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army, they want to eat us in one bite...... Baga ......" one of the co-captains immediately scolded with a look of despair.
Of course, the scolding of the Japanese wing commander. The Liaodong army ambushed on both sides of the official road couldn't hear it, and they didn't want to hear it.
At this moment, they only have one task, to use their fastest speed to fire as many bullets as possible into the official road, and inflict as many casualties as possible on the Japanese army.
Division commander Zhou Qiangsheng still held a telescope motionless and observed the battlefield.
However, the expression on his face has unconsciously changed from a nervous face before the war to a relaxed face now.
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers on the official road in front of him had been almost killed, even if there were still alive, they were crushed to the ground by light and heavy machine guns, unable to move. Zhou Qiangsheng knew that if he continued to fight like this, it would be a waste of bullets.
So, Zhou Qiangsheng, who still hadn't put down his binoculars, decisively ordered: "Send a signal, all the troops participating in the battle, under the cover of heavy machine guns, kill them and eat all the Japanese cavalry......"
"Bang ......" was accompanied by three signal flares, and more than 5,000 riflemen of the Second Division immediately rushed to the official road with rifles with bayonets on them.
At this time, looking down from the air, the Liaodong Army on both sides of the official road was densely packed like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, screaming and rushing towards the Japanese army.
The remaining ghost cavalry on the battlefield subconsciously wanted to pick up their rifles and block the attack of the Liaodong Army.
However, they are fast and the bullets are faster.
Many devils had just raised their heads, and before they could pick up their rifles, they pulled the trigger of their rifles, and a shuttle of bullets flew towards them.
In the blink of an eye, this devil cavalry was beaten into a hornet's nest.
Of course, even if there are devils who are lucky, they can evade the suppression of light and heavy machine gun fire and successfully shoot bullets at the Liaodong Army.
The few casualties they can bring to the Liaodong Army will not affect the entire battle situation.
The dense Liaodong army was still unstoppable and rushed towards them.
Soon, the Liaodong Army rushed to the official road and was about to be strangled with the remnants of the Japanese army.
As a result, the intensive machine-gun fire that suppressed the remnants of the Japanese army also had to be stopped at this time.
Such a good opportunity to counterattack, of course, the Japanese army, which has been pressed and beaten, will not let it go.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Liaodong Army deceives people too much...... Warriors, get on the bayonet, fight with the Liaodong Army, let them know, what is a real warrior......" Looking at the Liaodong Army getting closer and closer, a captain with red eyes shouted loudly as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
After finishing, the captain stood up from the ground, held his sword in both hands, and rushed towards the Liaodong Army.
The remaining more than 100 people in the entire brigade also jumped up from the ground and launched a counterattack against the Liaodong Army.
However, for the Japanese army, this kind of thinking is just a thought.
The Liaodong Army, which had already rushed to their close position, did not intend to give them this opportunity...... (To be continued.) )
