Chapter 564: Accidental? Inevitable?

After listening to the report, the mountain tiger happily shouted "good" and ordered to catch the medicine according to the prescription, several detachments took turns, in a word, but the toss vigorously, don't let the little devils stop, but not allow casualties, so the Japanese encirclement was lively, I don't know where a few grenades flew from, blew up the fire, piggyback on the lives of these soldiers, or a burst of bullets, the sentry with the rifle fell on his back, and Amaterasu went.

Under the constant harassment and blows of the soldiers of the guard brigade, the Japanese cavalry troops surrounding the White Fox Kiln felt a big headache and complained bitterly, cursing the hateful Shina soldiers one after another, attacking overnight, and did not have the courage, moreover, the Japanese cavalry units were not equipped with mortars at all, and it would be good to be able to machine guns, so they had to give up rest and stare wide in the cold wind.

Even so, they were constantly attacked, and the Japanese soldiers felt that they had encountered a ghost, obviously there was no figure, not even a little movement, but they didn't know how to fly grenades, shoot bullets, and what was even more infuriating was that there were mortar shells whistling down, and the flames of the explosion were flashing, and the soldiers didn't want to break through.

The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to shoot blindly, towards the place they thought was suspicious, or a little abnormal sound, it could attract a rain of bullets, and hit the wall of the ancient village dusty, and the soldiers hid in a safe place, looking at Zhile, the fire lit by the Japanese soldiers was the best target.

Later, probably the Japanese soldiers also realized this, and extinguished the fire one after another, so that there was no light in the dark night, which was more conducive to the attack of the soldiers of the guard brigade, and they did not let the Japanese army stop, and the Japanese soldiers hated so much that they gritted their teeth, and they wanted to rush into the stockade at dawn and cut off the heads of these despicable Chinese soldiers.

The vanguard regiment of the first cavalry brigade that broke the siege overnight was about to approach this area, it would have taken more than four hours to travel, and it took less than three hours to arrive, although it was certain that this area was certain, but the specific location was not easy to find, in the dark night, it was very difficult to distinguish the direction, coupled with the howling cold wind, the regiment commander who led the team was secretly anxious, and the hot sweat of his body stopped as soon as he stopped, and the cold wind blew and was cold to the bone.

Suddenly, I vaguely heard the sound of gunshots and explosions, and hurriedly sent out reconnaissance cavalry, and quickly figured out the situation, this area, can only be the division commander and them, and then arrived Liu Chun, hearing this situation, put his heart in his stomach, and the battle, indicating that the division commander is holding on, and then arrange the battle, put the four regiments in four directions, and ask to meet the enemy at the nearest distance to ensure the suddenness of the battle, and be sure to annihilate them all, this is Liu Chun's death order to the four regiment commanders.

The Japanese cavalry only cared about dealing with the elusive guards brigade soldiers, and the cavalry of the brigade that came behind them, and the sentries placed in the periphery had already been quietly touched, and the fire fired by the Japanese soldiers' guns could already be seen.

Suddenly, it seemed that a huge thunder sounded on the flat ground, and more than 7,000 war horses launched a charge at the same time, what an amazing momentum, the horses' hooves stepped on the snowflakes, soaring like clouds and mist, like a sudden elf in the dark night, a gust of wind, the soldiers of the first cavalry brigade instantly rushed to the side of the Japanese army, and the tide drowned more than 2,000 unsuspecting Japanese cavalry.

Around the ancient village, it has become a battlefield of killing, the Japanese soldiers did not even get close to the edge of the war horse, they were cut down by the sabers, everywhere were panicked, but the Japanese cavalry that ran around, in the dark night, was suddenly attacked, and it was not clear how many enemies came, but they felt that there were flying sabers everywhere, and there were screams everywhere.

The soldiers of the first brigade and the second regiment of the cavalry, from the east of the ancient village, killed a pair of crossings, and a group of people met head-on, and then, the horses along the way to kill back, in a leeward valley, the soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that more than 2,000 war horses, concentrated here to feed, only one squadron of Japanese guards, the soldiers pounced, a sabre, a squadron of Japanese soldiers, soon became a ghost under the knife, these tall and strong horses, became the trophies of the first brigade of cavalry, Liu Chun with the guard company, did not entangle in the battle, Pegasus rushed directly into the stockade.

The sudden battle outside had already alarmed Tang Qiuli, who was chatting with the mountain tiger, and he immediately understood that this was a rescuer, but he didn't know which troop it was, and he saw a group of cavalry galloping from a distance, and the person in front of him had his coat blown up by the wind, like the two wings of an eagle, and he could see at a glance that it was Liu Chun, and smiled knowingly.

Liu Chun saw the division commander from a distance, his tall body, hidden in the firelight, I don't know why, his heart was hot, his eyes were a little moist, he had been fighting with the little devil in Taihang Mountain, and he hadn't seen the division commander for more than 20 days in the blink of an eye, he came to him and flew off his horse: "Report to the division commander, Liu Chun, commander of the first cavalry brigade of the independent division, was ordered to lead more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of the brigade to protect the safety of the division commander, please instruct"

Liu Chun bit the words "protect security" very loudly, Tang Qiuli couldn't hear Liu Chun's intentions, and felt a kind of warmth deeply, he worried about everyone for himself, and felt sorry not to go, the battle outside the stockade ended quickly, more than 3,000 Japanese troops without war horses, none of them slipped through the net, and more than 7,000 troops of the first cavalry brigade surrounded them, and the besiegers were surrounded, which was really fateful.

The soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and were not interested in the guns and ammunition next to the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the cavalry of the independent division was equipped with the infantry rifle specially developed for the cavalry by the Huangyadong Equipment Research Institute, which could be fired in bursts or bursts, and could also fire special gun grenades, with a range exceeding the standard carbine equipped by the Japanese cavalry troops, and the firepower was more than five or six times more powerful.

What makes the soldiers love is more than 3,000 oceanic horses, Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade, in the first battle of Gong County, Henan Province captured the war horses of a wing of the Japanese army, the news spread to the first brigade, the soldiers' eyes were so greedy, this time, so many were captured, in the future, when I saw the Mongolian cavalry of the second brigade, I could also talk with my neck up, the cheerful laughter of the soldiers resounded in the dark night, Tang Qiuli was also infected, and there was nothing more happy for the soldiers than winning the battle.

Tang Qiuli soon joined up with the division commander in Guocun, Chen Feng was obviously relieved, and beckoned everyone to come in, at this time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning of January 4, and in more than two hours, the encirclement of the Japanese army under the mountain pass was about to begin.

Seeing Tang Qiu leave them into the village, Mei Ting was the first to pounce, pulling her husband to look left and right up and down, and found that there was no injury at all, so she let go of her hand, and pulled the mountain tiger aside, asking what she wanted, Tang Qiuli saw that the mountain tiger kept shaking his head, Mei Ting looked disbelieving, and felt a chill in her heart, fortunately she did not participate in the battle, otherwise, Mei Ting's level would be enough for herself.

Yamaguchi was in a hurry to retreat, when the Japanese army passed through Xiangyuan, it was unconventional, did not stop in Xiangyuan, and marched overnight, Yamaguchi knew very well in his heart that if he was delayed in the Taihang Mountains for one more minute, there would be more danger, and the small cavalry troops that suddenly encountered made him feel at ease, and he always felt that it was a hidden danger.

If this cavalry unit in charge of reconnaissance finds out the direction of its march, it will reveal its intentions in advance, so he ordered the cavalry wing to be completely annihilated, but there is no news of it coming back so far, which can't help but make him worried, and he doesn't know if the cavalry wing has wiped them all out? He asked secretly in his heart.

After passing through Xiangyuan, without any resistance, the mountain pass breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it passed through Lucheng again, even if it was half the distance, and then went to Licheng, there was no particularly dangerous terrain, the small group of troops could not stop the pace of their troops, as long as they safely passed through Licheng, crossed the Qingzhang River, and approached Shexian, they would not be far from Handan, and the troops would really get out of danger, and they could return to Pingjin alive.

What he has to do now is to ignore the qiē, take advantage of the fact that Tang Qiuli's troops were attracted to the front line of Yushe, and there was no chance to react, and quickly rushed out of the Taihang Mountains.

A harsh reprimand, almost scolded them for being pig's heads, can't see the shape clearly, we have become a lonely army, waiting for the devil Tang Qiuli's troops to surround us, I can't leave if I want to, I don't want to throw my life in the Taihang Mountains, as long as I have a breath, don't stay, his order to the troops is "Don't stay, the target is Shexian County"

In all fairness, Yamaguchi was a very military-talented, cunning and treacherous Japanese general, and he felt an imminent crisis from his current situation, and his orders were completely correct, and at this time, any hesitation and inpatience was an irresponsible expression to the more than 90,000 imperial soldiers.

If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, Tang Qiuli's 200,000 troops would have already rushed to the Yushe and Liaoyang areas of the northern front, even if they found out that they had been deceived, it would be too late to return to Lucheng or Licheng, and the mountain roads were dangerous, which greatly hindered the marching speed of the troops, especially the heavily equipped troops.

However, there are many things in the world that happened unexpectedly, it snowed, and it was a lot of snow, Tang Qiuli's mobilized troops were forced to stay in place for two days, and the guard brigade led by Tang Qiuli and the Japanese army at the fork in the road to Xiangyuan suddenly encountered, and the whereabouts of the mountain pass were exposed.

Otherwise, even if they were stranded in Lucheng, Tang Qiusheng's troops encountered the Japanese army head-on, 60,000 against 90,000, and under the situation of being caught off guard, they might not be able to be rushed by the mountain pass, and the troops who came later could only chase after them, and the encirclement battle turned into a pursuit war.

However, a series of things happened, and the fate of Yamaguchi and his more than 90,000 Japanese troops was destined to be left in the Taihang Mountains in this snowy day, but I don't know if Yamaguchi, as the supreme commander of this Japanese army, understood that this series of accidental events were all killing moves that put him to death, whether he would sigh at the injustice of fate, or whether Amaterasu and Emperor Hirohito did not bless him with turning evil into good fortune and becoming auspicious in death.
