Chapter 526: Cavalry! Offensive!
"Captain Huang, our chance has come!" Xu Hai, who was also developing changes in the battle situation, said to Huang Zhongxin with his eyes lit up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After glancing at Xu Hai, Huang Zhongxin decisively ordered without thinking about it: "Artillery, speed up the shelling, clear the Japanese heavy machine gun fire points as soon as possible, and clear the way for the cavalry division to launch a counterattack......
"The others, concentrate their firepower to clean up the Japanese infantry and beat them to the point that the battlefield collapses!"
After losing the powerful light machine gun firepower, although the limited heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese army continued to inflict casualties on the second and third regiments, this increasingly weak firepower could no longer press the second and third regiments to the ground.
As soon as Huang Zhongxin's order was reached, rows of dense human heads and muzzles of guns appeared in the positions of the second and third regiments.
"Dada...... Bang Bang Bang! As soon as the fierce and dense gunfire rang out, the machine gunners who were at the forefront of the Japanese army were swept to the ground by the castle.
The machine gunner in front fell, and the riflemen in the back immediately rushed over, ready to take the light machine gun and continue firing at the positions of the Liaodong Army. But before they could touch the heavy machine guns that smashed on the ground, the bullets came at them and turned them into a hornet's nest.
The same was true of the Japanese troops who rushed behind, and they all knew the importance of machine-gun fire to them.
Even though people were constantly knocked to the ground by bullets, the Japanese continued to pounce on the light machine guns without fear of death.
Soon, layers of Japanese corpses fell from behind the machine guns.
And as time passed, these corpses slowly formed a wall of corpses, an insurmountable wall of corpses for the Japanese army, blocking in front of them!
"That's right, just fight, keep increasing the firepower! Riflemen, all aim for me to hit, kill them as much as possible! Seeing that the battle situation was developing in his favor little by little, Huang Zhongxin could no longer see the heartache of losing four or five hundred people at once at the beginning. The whole person was like a stimulant, directing back and forth in the trenches.
"Yaga, we almost won!" After seeing the heavy casualties of the attacking troops, the commander of the Japanese division was like an angry lion and scolded loudly.
The chief of staff was both heartbroken and helpless, and comforted the division commander: "We have too few light machine gun shooters. I can see very clearly that at the beginning of the exchange of fire, the losses of the Liaodong Army were much higher than ours. But after the light machine gun shooters completely fell down, the tide of the battle was reversed. The infantry who followed behind did not know how to operate light machine guns during the attack at all, which gave the Liaodong Army a chance to turn defeat into victory! ”
"That's it!" The division commander with a solemn face scolded loudly.
Seeing that the anger on the face of the division commander was much less, the chief of staff hurriedly persuaded: "The light machine gun shooters have lost all their losses and lost their combat effectiveness, and the infantry alone will not be able to break through the positions of the Liaodong Army at all." Division commander, in order to reduce casualties, is it not for the soldiers to retreat immediately! ”
"Immediately retreat, this is not an attack at all, it is a massacre! Soldiers can't just die! The division commander immediately reacted and ordered.
The whistle of retreat soon sounded among the Japanese attacking troops.
Just now, the Japanese army was still in a fierce posture of not afraid of death, but at this time, it was like a different person, and he wished that he would have one more leg and not retreat to the back.
There were 2,000 Japanese troops when they came, and only more than 1,000 when they retreated.
In just a few minutes, the Japanese attacking troops left seven or eight hundred corpses in front of the 2nd and 3rd regiments.
Not only that, but the dozens of heavy machine guns scattered by the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses under the continuous roll call of the mountain artillery.
The first reaction of the remaining dozen or so heavy machine guns, after receiving the order to retreat, was to provide the attacking troops with the last range of fire cover to cover their retreat from the battlefield.
But the Liaodong Army did not intend to give them this opportunity.
In addition to dozens of mountain artillery guns continuing to fire at them, the heavy machine guns on the positions of the 2nd and 3rd regiments also joined the battle, firing hard at the remaining heavy machine guns of the Japanese army.
Because the Liaodong Army had a numerical advantage, at least two heavy machine guns were staring at one of the Japanese heavy machine guns for firing at each other.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining dozen or so heavy machine guns of the Japanese army were silent, and all the Japanese soldiers who approached these heavy machine guns were all beaten into a hornet's nest.
At this time, the commander of one of the remaining squadrons in the heavy machine-gun position had to give the order to retreat.
Abandon the heavy machine guns that had been targeted by the Liaodong Army, and retreat back in embarrassment with only a few dozen remnants of soldiers.
"Brothers, the opportunity for our cavalry division has come!" Wu Xin, who had been staring at the battlefield, shouted very excitedly after two hot glances shot out of his eyes.
"Commander, give the order! The sabre in the hands of the brothers has not drunk blood for a long time...... "The three regiment commanders guarding the side were also more and more excited, and shouted to Wu Xin for battle.
"Okay, today we will use the saber in our hands to kill all the Japanese in front of us, and let the Japanese know that our Liaodong Army is not other armies, and they can bully as much as they want!"
"I order, a regiment with a battalion as a unit, follow behind the Japanese rout, and attack the Japanese position from the front!"
"There were more than 1,000 routs on the battlefield, and no matter how ruthless the Japanese division commander was, he did not dare to order the troops to shoot these routs in front of the whole army. And this is the key to our success in entering the Japanese position. Therefore, when you rush to kill, you must keep your distance, and don't kill more than 1,000 routs before you have entered the Japanese position! “
"The 2nd Cavalry Regiment, attacking in a roundabout way on the left flank, distracting the Japanese forces and firepower. As soon as a regiment enters the Japanese position, you will attack immediately! “
"The third regiment launched an attack from the right flank of the battlefield, and the task was the same as that of the second regiment!"
"All the cavalry divisions are there, start attacking!"
Wu Xin raised his saber emitting cold light high and slashed forward, and a burst of sword light flashed in front of everyone's eyes.
Thousands of cavalrymen, as if they had been beaten at the same time, roared and waved their sabers, urging their horses to rush towards their targets.
Thousands of cavalry rushed to the peak together, and the sound of huge horses' hooves was as deafening as thunder.
Soon, the cavalry division of Qiandu on the battlefield appeared behind the Japanese army.
Nearly 5,000 cavalry were divided into three, and the cavalry regiment that launched a frontal attack was again divided into three, and rushed towards the Japanese position.
The cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the first Japanese army to react was more than a thousand routed soldiers.
I saw more than a thousand cavalrymen raising their sabers and killing them from behind.
The first thought of these routs was that after the cavalry caught up with them, they were cut down by the cavalry, their corpses were separated, and they were even trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves.
And the most taboo thing for the Japanese army is that they can leave a whole corpse after their death, and only in this way can their souls return to China.
Therefore, in order to prevent this ending from happening to him, more than a thousand defeated soldiers fled to their own positions like crazy. (To be continued.) )
