Chapter 133: Heroic Cavalry Company
"Advance in the direction of Laizhou." Ren Chao stood at the head of the city and shouted.
"Yes!" All the soldiers responded in unison, and then thousands of troops immediately marched out of Pingdu and advanced in the direction of Laizhou.
Ren Chao only left a small force to garrison Pingdu, and he personally led the main force of more than 4,000 tiger troops, together with the command headquarters, to attack Laizhou.
At that time, the Japanese Guards Division had already learned the news that the Tiger Ben Army had suddenly attacked and occupied Pingdu, and the commander of the Guards Division, Prince Kita-Shirakawa Miyanohisa, out of prudence, ordered his subordinates to temporarily stop advancing and sent a large number of scouts to investigate the reality of the Tiger Ben Army. But before the little devil could figure out the reality of the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army had already gone north to Laizhou.
"Nani, are you sure that the Tiger Ben Army only has 4,000 people?" Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness!" The adjutant replied with great respect, "According to the latest information obtained by our scouts, there are only about 4,000 to 5,000 Tiger Ben troops who have captured Pingdu, and now this Tiger Ben Army is on its way to Laizhou. ”
"Yo Xi! With only 4,000 people, they dare to attack our Guards Division, this Ren Chao is simply arrogant! Although Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Palace said this, a trace of excitement appeared on his face. Prince Nohisa of Kita-Shirakawa Miya was born in Kyoto, the ninth son of the Fushimi Miyakuni family and the son of Emperor Hitotaka. During the Meiji Restoration, he was elected Emperor Tobu by the Shogunate Okuhatsu Domain, but was defeated by the combined forces of the Choshu Domain of the Satsuma Domain in the Boshin War, and was accused of being an "enemy of the court" by the imperial court. In the third year of the Meiji era (1870), he was pardoned and returned to the world, and went to the Prussian Military Academy for further study. After returning to Japan, he served as the commander of the Osaka Division, and after the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, he was promoted to the commander of the Guards Division. It was precisely because of the experience of being promoted to the emperor that Kita-Shirakawa was eager to make a career on the battlefield in order to prove his loyalty to the emperor and wash away his past crimes.
"Pass the order down and prepare for battle." Kita-Shirakawa Gong Nengjiu said coldly. Although he knew that the Tiger Army was not easy to deal with, but when he learned that the Tiger Army was only 4,000 people, the North Shirakawa Palace was still very happy, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity given by God, a chance to defeat the Tiger Army, and an opportunity to make contributions.
"Hay!" The adjutant respectfully replied, then turned to deliver the order.
The forward unit of the Tiger Ben Army, a cavalry reconnaissance company under the guard regiment, and the cavalry reconnaissance unit of the Japanese army were the first to encounter near the town of Zhacun in the south of Laizhou City, and then the two cavalry units took the lead in a fierce battle.
"Kill!" The commander of the cavalry company gave an order, and more than 80 cavalrymen took the lead in launching a charge against the Japanese army, although the Japanese cavalry was nearly 300 people at that time, but the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army did not flinch, but launched a charge without hesitation. Ren Chao's words still rang in the ears of every cavalryman, and now there was only one thing in their minds, that is, to kill all the little devils in front of them!
The sharp sabers glittered in the sunlight, and the brothers of the cavalry company rushed towards the little devil without hesitation with their shining swords.
"Poof! Poof! The neighing of the horses was mixed with the sound of blades cutting flesh, blood splashed, and people kept turning over and falling off their horses, and then they were trampled into a ball of flesh by the galloping horses. Such a white-knuckle confrontation was undoubtedly very tragic, but the brothers of the cavalry company did not have any fear because of this, and everyone was like a god of war in a bloodthirsty state, killing every enemy they could see around them.
"Report~! Lord Qiqi, our cavalry company and the Japanese cavalry encountered, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely! The scout reported the latest information to Ren Chao as quickly as possible.
"Brothers, the cavalry brothers have already exchanged fire with the little devils, can we watch the brothers fighting with the devils on the front line and be indifferent?" Ren Chao raised his saber high above his head and shouted loudly.
"Can't! No! Thousands of tiger soldiers shouted in unison.
"So what are we going to do?" Ren asked loudly.
"Kill the little devil! Kill the little devils! "At this time, the Tiger Ben Army can be described as imposing.
"Pass the order, go forward at full speed to support the cavalry company, and destroy the little devil!" Ren Chao Da Dao swung forward and roared loudly.
"Kill!" Thousands of tigers ran forward with their legs stretched out as if they had suddenly been stimulated, and the smoke and dust raised covered the sky. It only took about ten minutes, thousands of tiger ben rushed out of four or five miles, and the scene of the battle between the two anti-counter could already be seen in the distance, the soldiers of the tiger army became more excited, and they didn't need Ren Chao to say anything at all, one by one they rushed forward more vigorously, and there were their comrades-in-arms in front of them who were fighting bloodily with the enemy, and they had to rush up and fight side by side with their comrades in the first place.
At this time, after several rounds of fighting, the cavalry company was already completely at a disadvantage, although there were already hundreds of little devils who had become the fertilizer of the land under their feet, but there were less than twenty of the more than eighty tiger cavalry left at this time.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, look." A Japanese cavalryman shouted in horror as he pointed to the dusty distance.
"Baga Ya Road!" The Japanese soldier Shaozo covered the wound on his shoulder and gritted his teeth and scolded, looking up at the dozen or so Tiger Army cavalrymen who were turning around not far away and preparing to launch the next round of charge, and a trace of timidity flashed on his face involuntarily. "These guys have gone completely crazy, the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, we, the most heroic samurai of the Great Japanese Locust Army, there is no need to fight to the death with them, pass the order down, turn in! Make plans after meeting with the big army! ”
"Hay!"
Lost more than 100 excellent cavalry troops, and the little devils were also killed one by one, but when they saw that the large army of the Tiger Ben Army was about to arrive, they were still decisively ready to retreat, after all, the little devils were not stupid, in order to eliminate more than a dozen Qing cavalry, all the remaining more than 100 Japanese cavalry were explained here, and such a business little devil would not do.
Under the orders of the Japanese Shaozo, the Japanese cavalry turned their horses one after another, and then fled north. But the cavalry company had no intention of letting go of this group of little devils, and when they saw that the little devils wanted to escape, they didn't know who shouted, "Avenge the company commander and the brothers who died!" Before the shouting was over, a dozen cavalrymen had rushed out again without hesitation.
In fact, in the battle just now, the tenacity and ferocity of the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army have caused a great psychological shadow to the little devil, and the little devil who had killed the red eye just now didn't feel anything, and now as soon as he retreated, the fear buried in his heart completely exploded, and now they have lost the courage to turn back and fight again.
