When two armies with similar arms and equipment meet, they can shout the slogan "The brave wins". But when an infantry encounters a convoy of armored vehicles, I'm afraid no one will shout so stupidly. In Koyama's eyes, the heavy cavalry was no different from an armored vehicle to the Japanese cavalry who only wore a single coat.

Light cavalry and heavy cavalry are not without precedent, the ancestors of the Mongols often overturned the iron shell of Europe, but the premise is that tactics and battlefields need to be coordinated. This narrow mountain road is equivalent to tying the hands and feet of the Japanese cavalry, and there is no place to go at all in the roundabout maneuver, except for rushing forward, it is impossible to retreat.

Of course, if the Japanese army has a large number of machine guns in their hands, they can also knock these iron shells off their horses, but the other side has to arrange their own formation, and the time to prepare is not a problem to carry the 100 cavalry to charge.

However, both armies were on the march, and the early morning mist obscured the sight, and when they were discovered, the high-speed rush of the war horses of the two armies left the hill with less than half a minute.

There was no time to adjust the formation and equipment, and in the face of the phalanx of heavy cavalry that rushed straight towards them, like a wall, the eyes of a hundred Japanese soldiers brushed on the hill of the leader.

Xiao Shan's face turned red, and he forced the panic in his heart, poked the horse chopping knife in his hand to the ground, and shouted to the hundred cavalry behind him: "On this continent, who won the battle of Chenghuan?" ”

"We!"

"Who won the battle of Pyongyang?"

"We!"

"We are all the elite of the elites of the empire, are we afraid of the Chinese people who have been pressed and beaten by us?"

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”

Seeing that the morale was mobilized, Xiaoshan yelled, "That's right! Every time there were more of them, they had the advantage, but we still won, this time even if they were wrapped in tin cans! The elite of our empire still ignores it, because victory must be ours. My hill is at the head of the line, do you dare to stand behind me to meet the enemy? ”

"Swear to follow!" Among the cavalry behind him, a strong military officer immediately stepped forward and lined up behind the hill. The Japanese cavalry was originally the elite of the army, and they were all family backgrounds to come into contact with the aristocratic sport of horseback riding. Among these people, there was never a shortage of courageous people, what they lacked was a person who took the lead, with Xiaoshan and the military cao as an example, the hundred cavalry suddenly became bold, armed with guns, ready for battle.

On the opposite side of the hill, Zhao Yun was observing the Japanese army's every move through the eyes of the leading knight. When he saw that the Japanese army was frenzied and did not dodge, and the morale was high, Zhao Yun really admired them, where did they get the courage to let them block these heavy armored cavalry. "It can't be that I sent the wrong soldier, right?" Seeing that his team was approaching step by step, he could already see the faces of the knights in the front row of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army still did not evade, Zhao Yun couldn't help but let the knight who led the team turn his head and look around, and confirmed again that he was sending heavy cavalry this time, not light cavalry. "Whew! No matter why this group of neurotics doesn't hide, the whole army presses it! Zhao Yun took a long breath and gave the battle order.

The heavy cavalry dispatched this time, although they were still wearing the same as the original, shields, armor, breastplates, three layers of protective equipment inside and three layers outside. But the weapons have been replaced with melee weapons such as submachine guns. After all, I have been using the original bow and arrows and crossbow arrows to show weakness and let the old fox of Takeuchi bite the hook, and now the Japanese army has been surrounded by five ways and bites the hook in three ways, so what else is there to pretend, directly with full firepower, kill a few of their elites first, and then clean up the old fox of Takeuchi.

The two sides are sandwiched between dangerous mountains, the mountain road is undulating, and the hundred horsemen gradually form a square cavalry formation of eight horsemen and a row of twelve horsemen, like a wall of steel, which is dullly pressed over. The iron hooves were like thunder and the sound of hooves was like drums, knocking heavily on the hearts of the intercepting Japanese cavalry. Xiaoshan stood alone in front of the formation, and the cavalry of the 100 Japanese troops was densely formed, and the sabers in their hands flashed coldly.

When the two armies were 100 meters apart, Xiaoshan's saber was raised diagonally, and he waved it down in one go, giving the order to attack.

Although the distance was more than 100 meters, the Japanese troops were all elite, and the accuracy and lethality of the rifles equipped with them were still considerable. It's a pity that the mountain road is uneven, and the heavy cavalry is undulating on the horses, unless the Japanese army stands on a steep slope, only the Japanese troops in the first few rows can have a chance to shoot.

Two salvos, as well as the fire of four light machine guns from two squadrons, caused the heavy cavalry of the first platoon to fall, and the second platoon to thin out considerably. Only three of the eight people in the first row remained, and three horses fell in the second row. This result surprised the Japanese army, and Xiaoshan was mad with anger, but the two sides were only less than fifty meters apart, and when the Japanese cavalry once again completed the action of unshelling, loading, and aiming. In the smoke of "spitting, spitting, spitting", the heavy cavalry in the first three rows used all the submachine gun bullets in their hands.

The bullets on both sides did not interfere with each other and rushed to their respective targets, blood was sparkling, Xiaoshan rang out at the sound of submachine guns, and fell to the ground violently, and the Japanese soldiers behind him also fell from their horses one after another, the scene was chaotic and chaotic, and this wave of bullets rained down, at least 20 Japanese cavalry were shot and killed.

On the side of the heavy cavalry, more than a dozen heavy cavalry also fell, most of whom were wounded in the first wave. Just looking at the losses of the two sides, it seems that there is not much difference, but although the heavy cavalry has fallen by a fifth, it has already approached the Japanese army, and the submachine guns have begun to fire. On the Japanese side, not only the four machine gunners in front were hanged, but even the commander of Koyama was killed, and the number of people was lost more than one-fifth.

"Onboard!" Amid the deafening shouts, the Japanese soldiers roared hoarsely. Another round of bullet rain exchanged, and the Japanese army fell again with more than 20 horsemen, while the heavy cavalry relied on heavy armor protection and suffered less than five casualties. The two sides have been close together, and the fishy smell from the horse's nose can be smelled, and the whole surface is like a drum beaten by a giant mallet, trembling so much that the war horse under the crotch stands unsteadily, and keeps trampling and circling. In the smoke of gunpowder, there was the sonorous sound of fierce blade clashing and the neighing of startled horses. The Japanese saber could only leave white marks on the armor of the heavy cavalry, while the short sword of the heavy cavalry tore through the Japanese tactical vest effortlessly.

A moment of blood courage is always difficult to resist the fear of reality. If the hill is still standing still in front, it is difficult to say whether the Japanese army will disperse. But when the hill fell, half of the Japanese army's blood and courage had already dispersed. The remaining half, that is, they did not dare to run, they had also seen the charge of the heavy cavalry before, the speed was not slower than the Oriental horse under them, if they retreated slightly, would they be chased and killed as a defeated army, causing immeasurable consequences, none of them dared to try.

At the moment, the Japanese army can only wait for Sato's arrival. At that time, the Japanese army, which had 400 cavalry, had an advantage in numbers, destroyed the team of less than 100 people in front of them, and avenged Xiaoshan and them.

Both sides are struggling to hold on until the last second, to see who can't bear it first and retreat.

When only ten Japanese cavalry remained, the sound of hooves behind the Japanese army was rumbling, and it was already approaching.

Sato, who rushed over, saw the gap in equipment between the two sides from a distance, and used light cavalry to charge the heavy cavalry, but in fact, Sato was also afraid of beating wolves with hemp poles. Such a collision will only result in a lose-lose situation. That's right, the Japanese army has a large number of people, and it definitely has a better chance of winning hard, but what if it wins? Sato is here to see whose nerves are tough and whose soldiers are not afraid of death?

No, Sato's mission is to rescue Shibata and break the opponent's headquarters, if it is consumed here, even if it wins, Sato will not be able to do it in the next step. And this cavalry wing is also Takeuchi's treasure, and it is the capital of Takeuchi's promotion to lieutenant general. If the losses here are too large, even if the heavy cavalry in front of him is eliminated, for Takeuchi, it will be a dispensable local firefight, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. Sato hesitated slightly, and the remaining few Japanese cavalrymen also fell into the rain of bullets from the submachine gun, seeing this scene, Sato's heart jumped even more, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said hard: "Organize the queue and gradually retreat......

The Japanese army came and went as fast as it came. Sato, as a commander, made a quick decision, and once he found that it was difficult to defeat the heavy cavalry in front of him, he immediately retreated. Satowara meant that the opponent would line up in the open field, but he didn't expect the opponent's tactics to be not bad, so he actually attacked and intercepted first. Judging from the short encounter, there is obviously a problem with the intelligence of the Chinese cavalry, even if the enemy army in front of him is defeated by superior forces, if the other party retreats, will it chase or not? The enemy is also a cavalryman, with four legs, and he is not slow to run, and if the opponent leads him to the open field, and then charges and kills him while he is not in array, then the price to pay will be great. So before he figured out the situation, Sato paid the price of losing a hundred horses, and retreating was naturally the best choice.

However, will Zhao Yun, who has already been "fishing" in the area of Baima Ridge, let this fish get off the hook?

Sato led the team all the way to the front, and only after running for about four or five miles did he rein in his horse, looking at the direction of White Horse Ridge with a trance expression for the rest of his life. Obviously, the other party is not a militia group, nor is it a warlord in Huaxia, no warlord in China can afford to be equipped with so many submachine guns, and the war horses under the crotches of those heavily armored knights are definitely first-class good horses, one level higher than the Oriental horses equipped with Japanese cavalry.

No matter what Sato thinks, after a cigarette, the cavalry of the palace finally arrived. Although Sato gave the order to rest on the spot, the Japanese army had extremely high military quality, and each individual did not remove his armor or saddle, and sent out a sentry to spy on flowing water, so he stayed up for half an hour as if he were facing a great enemy.

Sato couldn't stay any longer, not because the enemy was attacking, but because the mountains on both sides were on fire. "Damn it!" Seeing that the other party didn't want to fight head-on at all, although Sato was scolding, he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart,

The short and bloody confrontation made Sato realize that this "militia group" was by no means simple, but what kind of troops it was, Sato thought that it had nothing to do with him. After a confrontation, the troops were insufficient, and Sato could only choose to retreat. Because in such a narrow terrain, it is very unfavorable for the cavalry to play. Using infantry to open the way, cavalry plains to win a decisive victory, is the most normal tactic. can retreat after a slight setback, Sato is also afraid that someone will criticize him afterwards, and the ignition of the other party is undoubtedly a good excuse for Sato to withdraw from the army.
