The nemesis of the infantry

"Your Excellency, the commander of the 6th and 7th new divisions reports that the troops were suddenly hit by unidentified artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. In addition, the connection between us and the newly formed 6th and 7th Divisions was completely severed by the Northeast Field Army, which suddenly launched an attack...."In the Japanese temporary armored command vehicle, the chief of staff quickly glanced at the telegram he had just received in his hand. Facing Lieutenant General Nakajima, who looked anxious in front of him, he replied with a little panic.

"Eight Ge Yalu, cunning Shina people, dare to ambush my army of 50,000. However, it is simply delusional to destroy the strength of our two divisions with artillery fire. Now I order: the 10th Field Heavy Artillery Wing, immediately build artillery positions and prepare to launch a counterattack. Tell Daisaku Sato that he must suppress the enemy's artillery fire in the shortest possible time, cover the two divisions, and launch a counterattack on the Shina position...... "After learning about the specific situation, Lieutenant General Nakajima's psychology immediately came up with a specific solution, and then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he decisively ordered.

"Hayi, Your Excellency the Commander..."

"In addition, the 6th Tank Wing, the guard wing directly under the headquarters, was ordered to immediately build a defensive position with the artillery wing as the center, so as to respond to a possible attack by the Northeast Field Army at any time. At the same time, he sent a telegram back to the two division commanders and ordered the two divisions and regiments, under the cover of the fire of the field heavy artillery wing, to immediately break through the defense line of the people of China and assemble to the artillery positions. Nakajima will continue to order.

As soon as Lieutenant General Nakajima's order was issued, the 36 105-mm large-caliber howitzers of the field heavy artillery wing, which were dragged behind the truck, were quickly unloaded with the efforts of more than 1,000 artillerymen. Then, under the control of a gunner, he quickly raised the muzzle of his own black hole, making final preparations for a counterattack...

Dozens of minutes later, under the orders of the commander of the 6th Field Heavy Artillery Wing, Sato Daisa, a counterattack began. However, just when they were full of confidence, they had just fired a round of cannonballs. The 23 regiments of the 23 heavy artillery divisions directly under the Northeast Field Army, totaling more than 70 150-caliber howitzers, launched a resolute counterattack under the command of division commander Chen Guangrong.

More than 30 105-mm howitzers and more than 70 howitzers with a caliber of 150 mm fired at each other, and without any thinking, you can clearly guess what the final result will be.

In less than five minutes, the field heavy artillery wing given by the Japanese army to heavy hope lost all the heavy artillery very simply under the counterattack of the heavy artillery division, and then withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment.

"Report to Your Excellency the Army Commander, the Field Heavy Artillery Wing, in the process of counterattacking, suddenly suffered a devastating blow from the Shina Heavy Artillery Unit. According to the report of the captain of the Sato wing, the entire field heavy artillery wing, all 36 large-caliber howitzers were lost, and they were officially withdrawn from the battlefield ...."

The chief of staff's report was like a thunderclap, which shocked Nakajima dumbfounded.

In the eyes of these high-ranking officers of the Kwantung Army, although the Northeast Field Army is constantly developing and growing, the total strength of the Northeast Field Army has reached an astonishing 400,000. However, their armament is simply impossible to surpass the elite Kwantung Army units.

And now, his current opponent, the Northeast Field Army, not only does not have any disadvantage in front of his own field heavy artillery wing, but on the contrary, has a very huge advantage. In just a few minutes, his own artillery wing was completely wiped out in the confrontation, which was unimaginable in the eyes of Vice Admiral Nakajima.

However, as a lieutenant general, his city government is still very deep. After only a brief shock, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face slowly came back to his senses. Then, he said to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, it seems that we underestimated our opponents ... Judging from the current number of heavy firepower of the Northeast Field Army, their equipment has already surpassed that of our Kwantung Army units. If nothing else, the purpose of the Northeast Field Army's operation this time must be to completely annihilate our 50,000 troops. ”

"Now I order: the armored wing and the guard wing, each send a squadron of troops, immediately attack, reinforce the new 6th and 7th divisions, and break through the defense line of the Northeast Field Army. At the same time, the two division commanders, Akinaga and Yamada, were ordered to immediately move closer to the headquarters and prepare to build fortifications with the headquarters as the center and hold on to the headquarters...."

"The communications staff officer immediately reported the news of the ambush of our reinforcements to the Kwantung Army Headquarters via radio. Request the Kwantung Army Command to immediately send reinforcements to reinforce our army ....", "Ha Yi ... Your Excellency, Commander..."

Lieutenant General Nakajima put his expectations back on the two new divisions before and after. He didn't know that after ten minutes of artillery preparation, the two newly formed divisions had reached a critical juncture of life and death.

The remaining nearly 10,000 devil soldiers of the newly formed Sixth Division, under the command of Major General Qiu Yong, the commander of the division, have been heavily surrounded by the two main divisions. Under the suppressive attack of the powerful firepower of the two divisions, their occupied areas are gradually being compressed, and they are slowly moving towards the end of annihilation.

The new Seventh Division will be even more straightforward. Ten minutes of artillery preparation, enough for more than 4,000 cavalry of the cavalry division, successfully charged in front of the Japanese position and launched a final attack.

Just when the new 7th Division's position, which had been bombed into ruins, made people feel terrible, finally stopped. The earth-shattering roar of the four thousand cavalry charging collectively has reached the ears of all the little devils on the battlefield. Listen to the earth-shattering roar that keeps ringing in your ears, and feel the earth that has begun to tremble.

The chief of staff of the division and regiment, who was lying next to the division commander, Major General Ueda, quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction from which the roar came. I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and in the dark night, a knife array composed of sabers was emitting bursts of cold light that made people feel frightened, and they were quickly galloping towards themselves.

Looking at the chief of staff who was getting closer and closer to him, and he could already hear the neighing of the war horse, his face immediately turned pale. Then, facing Major General Ueda beside him, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Excellency the division commander, cavalry, the cavalry unit of the Chinese people..."

"Yaga..."Under the prompting of the chief of staff beside him, Major General Ueda, who also saw the situation in front of him clearly, was also shocked and stunned.

As the commander of the division, Major General Ueda has a very clear mentality. In the vast plains. In the absence of sufficient heavy weapons to support it, he was still scattered everywhere, and he had not yet had time to assemble a few thousand infantry. In front of the infantry nemesis ~ cavalry, it can be called a lamb to the slaughter...

However, in just a moment, Major General Ueda quickly stood up from the ground with the support of the guards around him. Then, waving the bright command knife in his hand, he roared loudly at the few remaining combat staff officers around him.

"Bage Yalu, what are you still doing? The troops were ordered to assemble immediately. All the light and heavy firepower of the whole army, immediately concentrate, start firing, be sure to block the offensive of the cavalry units of China, quickly, immediately go and convey the order..."

"The division commander ordered the troops to assemble immediately. All light and heavy machine guns were arranged in front and immediately opened fire to block the offensive of the Chinese cavalry troops...."Immediately, an operational staff officer shouted loudly at the troops scattered all over the battlefield.

However, as the cavalry units got closer and closer, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, to a certain extent, had drowned out everything on the battlefield. The troops of the Kwantung Army, scattered all over the place, had not yet received orders, and the swarming cavalry groups had already charged to the immediate vicinity ...

"Cavalry division, charge... Kill..."An earth-shattering roar came from within the mighty cavalry ranks. Immediately after, thousands of cavalry warriors, at the same time, raised their sabers above their heads. Then, he yelled loudly.

"Kill...."

In front of the murderous, earth-shattering roar of the warriors. The earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves was immediately and mercilessly muffled. looked at the cavalry group in front of him, which was full of murderous aura and was getting closer and closer to him. Major General Ueda, the commander of the division, couldn't help but change his complexion. Then, with a look of despair, he closed his eyes.

Because he knew that in the case that the troops had not completed their assembly and did not have enough heavy firepower to block the cavalry offensive. The cavalry group in front of him can easily break through their own defense line, and on their own positions, they unscrupulously wave the sabers in their hands and cut off the heads of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army.

And the nearly 10,000 recruits under his command, under the offensive of the cavalry group of the Northeast Field Army, faced with the rampaging cavalry troops, and faced the bloody battlefield left behind after the cavalry swept away, what kind of situation will it be. Needless to say, Major General Ueda's psychology is very clear that the recruits in his hands will definitely become lambs to the slaughter in front of the cavalry...., Major General Ueda, the commander of the division, in the face of the attack of the cavalry group of the Northeast Field Army, closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the arrival of the cavalry. The chief of staff around him, as well as the guards who were responsible for protecting the safety of Major General Ueda, were very anxious. Because, their life and death are linked to Major General Ueda in front of them. If Major General Shaotian appears in the course of the battle, then there is only one result waiting for them, and that is to apologize...

Thinking of this, the chief of staff of the division did not hesitate, and ordered with a decisive face to the captain of the guard squadron beside him.

"Ohno-kun, I'll leave the safety of the division commander to you. It is necessary to ensure that His Excellency the Division Commander is safely delivered to the headquarters. I will stick to this place, with the remnants of the division, desperately block the attack of the Shina cavalry group, and give you as much time as possible. ”

"Ha Yi, please rest assured that Your Excellency the Chief of Staff will guarantee the completion of the task" After speaking, despite the opposition of Major General Ueda beside him, he commanded several guards, and with the division commander on his back, he began to retreat to the rear...

The departure of the division commander relieved the chief of staff. Then, immediately organize an infantry brigade that had just been assembled around him, and prepare to launch a counteroffensive head-on, so as to buy as much time as possible for the division commander who was retreating behind him.

"Kill...", however, before he could give the order, an earth-shattering roar sounded on the battlefield again. The dense cavalry group, in a short minute, had successfully rushed to the Japanese position without any obstacles, not even ordinary trenches.

A sword light flashed in front of the formation, followed by one by one, revealing one by one, with bunches of blood flowers, following the knife momentum in the hands of the soldiers, flying high into the sky, and finally, like a football, back to the ground. As for the headless corpse in front of the position, the headless corpse with its head cut off was set up on the ground for several seconds under the shocked gaze of the Japanese army behind him before falling heavily in a pool of blood...

Of course, in a battle of cavalry and infantry, being able to leave a headless corpse behind is already a very good ending. Under the dense hooves of the cavalry group, countless headless corpses were trampled into a pile of meat paste as soon as they reached the end....

"Eight Geya Road, they are devils, they are devils..."Under the fierce attack of the cavalry group, in front of the position, there was a bloody scene, and countless little devils were directly stunned. Then, standing motionless, waiting for the bright saber to slash at his neck, thus ending his life.

Of course, more little devils let out one after another, very terrifying screams. Follow the tide of the rout, abandon the weapon in your hand that may become a drag on you, and start to retreat desperately....

However, no matter how fast they fled, they could not be faster than the four-legged horses. In front of him, nearly a thousand stunned little devils were frantically slashed and killed by the cavalry group. The entire cavalry group, immediately divided into several units with battalions as a unit, began to carry out a frantic pursuit of the fleeing little devils...

"Report to Your Excellency Army Commander, Your Excellency Qiu Yong of the newly formed Sixth Division sent a telegram: The troops are under siege by at least two main divisions of the Northeast Field Army. At present, more than half of the entire division has suffered casualties, and the remaining troops, under the fierce siege of the Northeast Field Army, have been compressed into a narrow area of less than two kilometers in length and less than one kilometer in width..."

Looking at Lieutenant General Nakajima, who was frowning at his brow. Without any hesitation, the chief of staff decisively put forward the idea in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Army Commander, I humbly believe that with the current strength of the Sixth Division, there is no strength to break through at all. We should immediately send troops to intensify the offensive and break through the defense line of the Northeast Field Army in the shortest possible time and open up a channel of communication with the newly organized Sixth Division. Otherwise, the 6th Division, without the cover of heavy weapons, simply could not hold out for long. ”

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, order the 6th Wing of Combat Vehicles, once again send two squadrons of tanks, to join the battle. At the same time, two infantry squadrons were drawn from the guard wing and the self-weight wing to join the battle. Tell the top commanders of the ministries that they must break through the defense line within half an hour, otherwise, military law will be involved. Reminded by the chief of staff beside him, Lieutenant General Nakajima decisively ordered. , "Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander..."

"Chief of Staff, how is the situation of the newly formed Seventh Division, is there any new news?" Lieutenant General Nakajima asked.

"At present, the headquarters has not received any telegrams about the new 7th Division. However, according to the forward observation post report, the 7th Division was once again attacked by the cavalry group of the Northeast Field Army after being subjected to heavy artillery fire for 10 minutes. At the moment, the whole battle has entered the white heat..."

"Cavalry Group...."Hearing these people, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face also turned pale in an instant. Then, I couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Ha Yi, according to the forward observation post report, the entire cavalry group, the total strength of at least four thousand. In addition, according to the report, under the fierce offensive of the cavalry group of the Northeast Field Army, the positions of the newly formed 7th Division have collapsed on all fronts. At present, the cunning cavalry group is dispersing the troops of the Kwantung Army that are pursuing our retreat....", the chief of staff replied affirmatively.

Although, as the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Nakajima was not able to go to the battlefield in person and see the specific battle situation. However, according to the report of the chief of staff in front of him, a tragic scene immediately appeared in the mind of Lieutenant General Nakajima: the newly formed 7th Division, thousands of unarmed soldiers, were frantically slaughtered in front of the Shina cavalry.

Thinking of the newly formed Seventh Division, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Kwantung Army, may be wiped out under the frantic slaughter of thousands of cavalry of the Northeast Field Army. Lieutenant General Nakajima's heart couldn't help but feel a chill. Then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he ordered decisively.

"Bastard, I really didn't expect that the commander of China would use the most primitive cavalry units when my reinforcements were equipped with a large number of tanks. Bageyalu, do they really think that the soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire appointed their cavalry units to be arrogant in our positions? ”

"Chief of Staff, the horse uploaded to my order. The commander of the 6th Wing of the Combat Vehicle was ordered to lead the tank units of the two brigades, under the cover of an infantry brigade of the Guards Wing, to immediately carry out a sortie and completely annihilate the cavalry units of China. Use the blood of the Chinese cavalry troops to avenge the warriors of the Jade Shattered Empire...."

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Commander is wise, and he will go and give orders immediately..."

It is the duty of a soldier to carry out orders. As soon as Lieutenant General Nakajima's order was issued, the first to move was the guard wing closest to the headquarters. The strength of an infantry brigade was assembled in less than ten minutes. Then, under the command of his captain, he quickly marched towards the defense line of the outer tank wing.

The strength of an infantry brigade of the Guards Wing had just reached the forefront. Two large piles of 60 chariots under the command of the commander of the chariot wing, Xia Yuan Daisa, followed closely and entered the position in a mighty manner
