(During the First Sino-Japanese War, the commander of the Japanese 4th Brigade was not Nakaki Noki-ue, but Yamaguchi Sutomi, which is hereby changed, sorry)

The brigade commander, Major General Yamaguchi Suchen, set out with a few scouts to reconnoiter the position, and found that the position of the Chinese Empire was built on flat ground, which was very suitable for cavalry attacks.

Yamaguchi Suchen called the captain of the second cavalry brigade, Yamaoka Mitsuyuki, who was the captain of the cavalry brigade who reconnoitred for the 16th Infantry Wing in the Battle of Changhua and the Battle of Dragon Snake Valley.

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka came to Yamaguchi Suchen, and without waiting for Yamaguchi Suchen to speak, he said directly: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, please let me lead my troops to punish the Chinese pig..."

Yamaguchi Suchen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Yes, I have this intention, there is no towering mountain in front of us, which is very suitable for cavalry charges." ”

Yamaoka Mitsuyuki saluted with a military salute and said solemnly: "Brigade commander, I will definitely drive all the pigs out of the position..."

After saying goodbye to Yamaguchi Suchen, Mitsuyuki Yamaoka returned to the Second Cavalry Brigade, which had four squadrons, each with 120 cavalrymen, armed with rifles and sabers. Their horses are not ordinary, the Japanese local horses belong to the Mongolian horses, the durability is strong, but the impact is not enough, so Japan bought a thoroughbred horse with strong impact from Europe, part of which is used to improve its own horse breed, and the other part is directly equipped for cavalry.

Yamaoka Mitsuyuki gathered the cavalry, the cavalry lined up in a neat phalanx, Yamaoka Mitsuyuki walked in front of the phalanx, drew his saber with a "Zheng" sound, raised it to the sky, and said loudly: "Do you remember the shame of the battle of Dragon and Snake Valley? ”

The cavalrymen stood upright in unison and shouted, "Never forget..."

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka shouted in a more high-pitched voice, "Who gave us this shame? ”

"The pig," each of the horsemen shouted with all their might.

Yamaoka Mitsuyuki waved the saber in his hand in the direction of Lin Fei's troops' position, and said sharply: "Now that the pig is over there, what are we going to do?" ”

"Kill them all," the cavalry roared wildly.

Yamaoka Guangxing flew on the war horse beside him, and said loudly: "All the war horses, prepare to charge..."

The cavalry roared and jumped on the war horses, the four cavalry squadrons were divided into four pieces, lined up in a linear formation, and slowly walked towards the position of Lin Fei's troops...... The cavalry term is called "Xu Bu"...... Approaching the enemy's positions, looking at the various elite cavalry in the history of world warfare, Mongol cavalry, Cossack cavalry, etc., without exception.

On the position of Lin Fei's troops, the commander of the Fourth Brigade Jiang Kaihua was the commander of the Fourth Brigade, he was originally a major in the Spanish army, commanded thousands of troops, and later defected to Lin Fei, Lin Fei admired his talent, valued his command ability, and began to make him a regiment commander, and later promoted to brigade commander.

Jiang Kaihua's side was Qi Lei, the commander of the first regiment, he looked at the four groups of cavalry that appeared in the distance, and whispered to Jiang Kaihua: "The Japanese army dispatched four cavalry units to attack our army's defense line separately, this is to break through our army's defense line as a whole." ”

Jiang Kaihua nodded, and Qi Lei continued: "The impact speed of the cavalry is much faster than that of the infantry, how can we fight?" ”

Jiang Kaihua smiled and said, "Why did you forget, we are equipped with light machine guns, and the lethality of high-velocity weapons to cavalry is fatal." ”

Qi Lei let out an "oh", the embarrassment on his face eased slightly, Jiang Kaihua continued: "Our machine gun is still a light machine gun, it is very convenient to move the position, you let the machine gun team quietly move the firing position, and try to form a side fire on the cavalry." ”

When the bullet is fired from the side, the entire enemy team will be killed by fire, and only the enemy facing the muzzle of the gun will be killed and injured when firing the front, so the firepower density of the side fire is much higher than that of the front fire, and it is clearly stipulated in the army combat manual formulated by Lin Fei that the commander should reasonably arrange the firepower and try to form a side fire on the enemy, it is worth mentioning that some Qing soldiers in Lin Fei's army did not know what the side fire was, no wonder the Qing army with a lot of Green fast artillery would be defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War.

Qi Lei said casually while agreeing: "Why don't you get a cavalry unit?" How majestic. ”

Jiang Kaihua said casually: "Your Majesty has said a long time ago that the cavalry is a sunset class, and it will definitely die out, and it is useless to get it out." ”

Qi Lei then returned to the position of the first regiment, and at this moment, the Japanese cavalry entered a distance of about 800 meters from the position, according to the speed of the Japanese war horse, it only took about fifty seconds to rush through this distance, and it would take at least three minutes for the soldiers to rush through the distance of 800 meters.

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka raised his saber high and shouted, "Charge..."

The cavalrymen immediately buckled their horses' bellies with their feet, and the horsemen with strong combat power never used whips to beat their horses, they would use the pressure between their legs and hips to convey messages to the horses, and the well-trained horses could read the cavalry's intentions from these information, and the cavalrymen's intentions were very clear...... Shock at full speed.

The war horse let out a long neigh, raised its four hooves, splashed dust, and jumped out like an arrow, and in an instant, the sound of the horse's hooves of "trampling" broke out, shaking the earth and shaking the earth, shaking people's ears and making people's hearts thump, and the splashed dust formed a cloud, and the war horse rushed out in the cloud, like a mortal killing god.

This is the power of the cavalry charge ... If the opposite side is an ordinary infantry, they will be frightened and flee without waiting for the enemy, and in the history of wars in the world for thousands of years, cavalry is invincible against infantry for this is precisely the reason... But today, the Japanese cavalry did not know that light machine guns were waiting for them on the positions of the Chinese Empire.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese cavalry rushed to a position of 600 meters in front of the position, and suddenly, I saw a cavalry horse fall to the ground suddenly, and then let out a wail, inertia made the cavalry on the horse fly out like a cannonball, and fell heavily to the ground, the speed of the war horse just now was extremely fast, and the cavalry flew out five or six meters away at once.

Before the Japanese soldiers could react, the sound of "hissing" like torn silk cloth came from the side of the cavalry ranks, and with the sound, the bullets shot into the crowd with the sound of "whoosh" wind, hitting the flesh and making a terrible sound, and the cavalry fell from the horses with screams, and the horses fell to the ground with a wail.

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka did not panic, he had the impression that in the face of the cavalry charge, the infantry did not have time to fire too many shots, so he still held his sabre, pointed forward, and ordered the troops to continue the attack.

But what happened next was beyond Yamaoka Mitsuyuki's expectations, the gunfire continued one after another, and the cavalry around him fell in pieces, Yamaoka Mitsuyuki had never experienced the battle of Dragon and Snake Valley, and he didn't know that Lin Fei's troops were equipped with light machine guns, so when he heard the continuous gunfire, it was like being hit on the head by a series of thunderbolts.

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka suddenly realized that if he rushed any further, the cavalry brigade would be wiped out... He swung his sword back, turned his horse's head and retreated, the other cavalry followed, and the first attack of the Japanese cavalry ended in less than half a minute.

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka returned to his team with the remnants of his army, and Yamaguchi Sutomi asked in surprise, "Why didn't you defeat the position of the Chinese Empire?" ”

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka said with an innocent face: "The enemy army does not know what weapon is used, and the rate of fire is extremely fast, and I am afraid that if we rush to the front, we will be completely wiped out." ”

Yamaguchi Suchen recalled that when he charged yesterday, the infantry was also killed and wounded by this weapon, nodded lightly, and said, "You can count the casualties and stand by." ”

Yamaoka Mitsuyuki nodded, took his subordinates to rest, briefly counted the casualties, and was surprised to find that more than 100 people were killed and more than 100 were injured, and Lin Fei's troops actually knocked out half of the cavalry brigade in just a few tens of seconds...

Mitsuyuki Yamaoka began to wait for the order to counterattack, and at this time, Yamaguchi Sotomi was worried about the current battle situation, the infantry and cavalry could not break through the enemy line, what should he do now?

Yamaguchi Suchen's face was cloudy, and then a staff officer said: "Brigade commander, isn't the Guards Division going to fight with us on both sides?" Why don't we wait for the Guards Division to attack the enemy? ”

Yamaguchi Suchen's eyes lit up, and he said: "This method is feasible, when the time comes, the two sides will attack, and this army will definitely be annihilated." ”

After saying this, Yamaguchi Suchen frowned and said: "At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the enemy's defense line by attacking, so immediately go and select the most elite samurai and form a death squad..."

The Japanese army immediately took action to recruit daredevils, and the Japanese soldiers scrambled to sign up, some even wrote blood letters to join the death squads, some people knelt down in front of the recruiting officers in order to join the death squads, and even more, Mitsukiyo Takemoto, a senior soldier of the first squadron of the second infantry brigade, committed suicide by caesarean section on the spot after being refused to join the death squad...

The Japanese 4th Brigade did not attack during the entire day, and by 8 p.m. on September 22, the Guards Division began to attack the defensive line of Lin Fei's troops.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the 4th Brigade, which had learned the news of the attack of the Guards Division, began to attack the position of Lin Fei's troops, and the main force of this attack was undoubtedly the death squad that had just been formed...

The daredevils took off their military uniforms, ** their upper bodies, tore off a white cloth, dyed a circle in the middle of the white cloth with blood, and then tied the white cloth strips on the top of their heads, thinking that this "harmony with the soul" would bless them.

The daredevils did not hold guns at all, they only took bayonets, so they ran faster, and under the cover of night, they quietly climbed to a position of two or three hundred meters in front of the position, and then jumped up from the ground and rushed to the position of Lin Fei's troops.
