Chapter 496: Cavalry Decisive Battle
Sometimes, when they meet on a narrow road, the real brave wins, and this encounter between the two cavalry units in a small force is a good interpretation of this sentence.
Of course, Qiao Youhua did not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources, and the submachine guns equipped for the cavalry battalion also played a great role.
The squad leader of this group of devil cavalry saw that Zhao Tiezhu and they did not retreat but advanced, he was first shocked, and then he was overjoyed, urged the war horse, pulled out his saber and led dozens of subordinates behind him to accelerate and rush forward.
Zhao Tiezhu also pulled out his shiny saber sonorously, and quietly pulled out his Mauser pistol with the other hand and held it in his hand.
Several soldiers behind him held the MP18 submachine gun around his neck in one hand, and also drew his saber and held it high above the top with the other, quickly urging the war horse, quickly catching up with Zhao Tiezhu, and lined up on both wings of his war horse.
The two sides met head-on in a field in the southwest corner of Shang'an Town, and when the devil's horse pistol entered the distance between the two sides was one hundred and fifty meters, it stopped firing and replaced it with a saber.
Because Zhao Tiezhu and the others only had eleven people, and they were moving at high speed on war horses, and the target was too small, the Japanese cavalry, who were also in a fast-moving galloping state, fortunately gave up shooting and instead held a saber to meet the battle.
After all, the two sides are about to collide head-on like two torrents, and when the time comes, will the own side, which has an absolute numerical advantage, still worry about whether it will be able to cut down more than ten cavalry in this area?
This is the common idea of most of the devil cavalry in this Japanese cavalry squad.
One hundred and twenty meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters, seeing that the two sides were about to collide together, even they could feel the terrifying chill of the saber held high by the other cavalry, as well as the hideous and fierce color on the cavalryman's face.
At this moment, Zhao Tiezhu's left hand holding the gun suddenly raised, and he pulled the trigger continuously, bang, bang, the gunfire suddenly rang out, and several bullets whistled and flew towards the devil cavalry who came at the head.
When he boarded, two devil cavalrymen screamed and fell to the ground, and were trampled to death by the hooves of the horses swarming behind.
More than a dozen other cavalry soldiers also pulled the trigger one after another, and the submachine guns in their hands let out a heart-palpitating roar.
More than ten submachine guns fired at the same time, the sound of gunfire was deafening, the bullets rained intensively, and suddenly swept away towards the devil crowd.
"Ahhh......h
Dozens of devil cavalry let out a terrible scream one after another, were shot and fell off their horses, some devils were even hit by bullets with people and horses, and the war horses under their crotch neighed miserably, and the horses stumbled and fell to the ground, throwing out the devil cavalry who had been shot.
Boom, boom, the horses and cavalry fell heavily to the ground with a muffled sound.
When Zhao Tiezhu ran out of bullets in the chamber of the gun, there was no one in the entire devil cavalry squad who could stand or ride on a horse.
Zhao Tiezhu caught a glimpse of a ghost cavalryman who had been shot and fell far away, but had not yet lost his breath, and galloped away on his horse, slashing horizontally with a saber in his right hand.
Poof! With a bang, a head was cut off by a sharp saber, and where the neck was broken, a scarlet blood arrow **** came out, which was particularly terrifying.
Zhao Tiezhu turned around on his horse, held up the saber full of blood, and said sharply: "See, the little devil was also born by his parents, the flesh is long, the bullet is shot through a hole, the saber is cut over, and the head is still broken!" ”
Except for one veteran among the more than ten soldiers, the rest were all new soldiers, and they probably didn't expect that this battle would be so smooth, or the veteran was more calm, inserted the saber that was not useful back into the scabbard, and silently replaced the empty submachine gun with a new magazine.
When the other fighters saw that Zhao Tiezhu was also replacing his pistol with a new magazine, they reacted and followed suit.
It didn't take long for a burst of exciting dull rumbling sounds to come from the direction behind Zhao Tiezhu, and Zhao Tiezhu, who had already finished changing the magazine, immediately rode his horse and turned around, and as far as his eyes could see, a large number of Japanese cavalry wearing yellow military uniforms and holding bright swords or 44-style cavalry spears could be seen all over the mountains and fields, galloping wildly.
Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of war horses, which was not weaker than the Japanese army, also came from behind Zhao Tiezhu and the soldiers, and they turned back one after another, only to see the commander Qiao Youhua and the battalion commander Liu Jianhua taking the lead, leading the soldiers of their cavalry battalion to arrive in time.
The total number of cavalry on both sides combined was close to two thousand, and tens of thousands of horses' hooves were constantly knocking on the vast land, making one dull sound after another like spring thunder.
The cavalrymen who were immersed in the scene could clearly feel that the blood in their bodies was gradually boiling, and their heartbeats were constantly accelerating.
"Cavalry battalion! Offensive! Kill! Liu Jianhua held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, and let out a long roar like a wolf king in a hoarse voice.
This was the first battle since he recovered from his injury, and it was also the first battle of the reorganized cavalry battalion, and at this moment, he felt that the long-lost will to fight and the battlefield atmosphere were all back.
Like him, the elite veterans of the surviving cavalry company, who have now become the absolute backbone of the cavalry battalion, responded in unison, like a pack of wolves responding to their head wolf.
Driven by them, more than 700 soldiers let out a wolf-like roar, galloped wildly, raised their swords and guns, followed behind Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua, and rushed towards the Japanese army.
Qiao Youhua didn't say too much, because he knew that this was a battle belonging to the cavalry battalion, and as long as Liu Jianhua was there, the cavalry battalion, the rebuilt division, would not have to worry about the lack of fighting spirit at all.
This is the posture of a brave general who can really take charge of himself, Liu Jianhua has followed him for a long time, and he has won Qiao Youhua's true inheritance in commanding operations, motivating the morale of the army, and boosting morale.
Therefore, Qiao Youhua just followed closely behind, playing the role of a sharpshooter and super cavalry.
"Captain, something doesn't seem right, why is there no one in our forward squad?" As he rode his horse and galloped wildly, Adjutant Kobayashi caught up with the co-captain Shinichi Miura, who had already planned to personally lead the charge and fight with the sudden appearance of the Shina cavalry, and said loudly.
In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, Shinichi Miura clenched his saber, glanced over, turned his head to Adjutant Kobayashi and said, "Kobayashi-kun, the current situation is already ready to be sent!" Raise your saber and come with me to battle! ”
"Hay!" Adjutant Kobayashi felt the full fighting spirit exuded by Miura Shinichi, and suddenly bowed his head sharply on the war horse, and with a sonorous sound, the officer's knife had been pulled out, and he held it in his hand, and his legs slammed into the belly of the horse, urging the war horse to follow and rush forward.
