Chapter 376: Cavalry Encounter
Qiao Youhua put down the tea jar in his hand, frowned slightly, and said, "The news is accurate?" ”
"It will never be wrong, the humble post and our squad leader saw it with his own eyes, and quietly made a rough statistics, the Japanese army has several brigades before and after, at least tens of thousands of people, and they are well-equipped, and at first glance it is more difficult to deal with devils like the Shimen Garrison Brigade." It may be that the Scout is a big old man who can't tell.
But the meaning Qiao Youhua understands, the reason why he said that the devil he saw this time is difficult to deal with, it is that the devil of the 5th Division has a murderous aura, after all, he has just retired from the front line.
But any veteran who has really been on the battlefield, killed people, and seen blood can experience the murderous aura that emanates invisibly, and ordinary people can't feel it.
"I know, you go and inform your company commander immediately, and ask him to withdraw it." Qiao Youhua waved his hand and commanded. Since a large number of devils have arrived at Shimen on foot, the follow-up Japanese army may appear at any time, and the two master regiments of the Japanese army have cavalry wings directly under them, and even tanks and combat vehicles directly under the troops.
At this time, if Liu Jianhua's reconnaissance company continued, it would not only be difficult to achieve any outstanding results, but it might also fall into the danger of being encircled and attacked by the Japanese army.
Although Qiao Youhua is not afraid of sacrifice, he will never let any of his subordinates make senseless sacrifices.
After the scout saluted, he hurriedly turned around and took the order to leave, turned over and got on his horse out of the regimental headquarters compound, and ran towards the east gate non-stop, out of the city gate, all the way to the southeast, to find Liu Jianhua's reconnaissance company.
At this time, Liu Jianhua's reconnaissance company was really in trouble, because the 5th Cavalry Wing directly under the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was a busy department.
Since the northwest of the mountain, he was ordered to lead his troops to follow the train taken by the division headquarters, but although the speed of the war horse was fast, it could not run like the train all the time, and he took several breaks in the middle of the way, so that the division headquarters could not open the distance.
Later, after the railway was destroyed, Xiao Di Shifan received two urgent telegrams from the division headquarters, so he led his troops to travel day and night, rushing to the direction of Shimen non-stop.
Unexpectedly, not long after Yangquan, they ran into it, and they just planned to go to the area south of the railway section for the first time to continue to sabotage the cavalry reconnaissance company of the Dragon Tooth Task Force led by Liu Jianhua.
Although both sides are directly subordinate to each other, there is a five-fold gap in strength.
Liu Jianhua's reconnaissance company had only 200 people, while Xiao Jue's 5th Cavalry Wing was one of the four directly subordinate wings of the 5th Division, and its strength was more than five times that of the Dragon's Tooth Reconnaissance Company.
Both sides encountered suddenly, and then the horses opened fire, and the Dragon's Tooth Reconnaissance Company, equipped with American Thomson submachine guns, caught the 5th Cavalry Wing Wing by surprise.
killed dozens of them, but before Liu Jianhua could lead his troops to eliminate this devil cavalry squadron in one go, Xiao Di is Fan Dazuo took the main force of the 5th Cavalry Wing to kill.
The troops were insufficient, and Liu Jianhua naturally couldn't resist hard, so he led his soldiers to retreat while fighting, but Xiao Du, who had lost dozens of riders, did not dare to give up, and led thousands of cavalry to launch a crazy pursuit of the Dragon Tooth Reconnaissance Company.
The two sides launched a pursuit and strangulation battle.
"Company commander, the little devils are chasing after them, their war horses are better than ours, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away!" A platoon commander rode a war horse to Liu Jianhua. The devil's war horses are all Oriental horses, tall and long-legged, fast running, and fed with fine materials, such as soybeans and the like.
It is no exaggeration to say that the devil's war horse sometimes eats better than most Chinese, and Liu Jianhua's side, although most of the war horses are also captured from the devil's hands, the base area is in the initial stage of development, and all kinds of materials are in short supply.
Especially after the sudden increase in the number of people, there is not enough food for people to eat, where is there fine material to feed the war horses? Therefore, the running speed and endurance of these war horses have been somewhat affected, and some have declined, and if they continue like this, it will be a matter of time before they are caught up by the devil cavalry.
They have always had submachine guns, although the firepower is fierce, but the ammunition consumption is also very large, and in this kind of chase and escape battle that gradually widens the distance, the effective range of the submachine gun is limited, but it is not as useful as the four-four horse pistol equipped by the devils.
Liu Jianhua glanced back at the devil cavalry who were still following in the distance, and said sharply with his heart pulled at the top of his voice: "Brothers, change the magazine, follow me back to meet the enemy, and have a happy battle with the little devil raised by his son of a bitch!" ”
As soon as he said that, he took the lead in replacing his submachine gun with a new magazine full of bullets, and the other 1890 cavalrymen also followed suit when they saw this, and Kaka replaced their submachine guns with new magazines, none of them were recruits who were greedy for life and afraid of death, most of them were veterans who had experienced the defense of Feiyunling.
With Liu Jianhua's order, nearly 200 horsemen stopped fleeing, turned their horses' heads one after another, and then held the submachine guns in their hands obliquely one by one, with grim faces, waiting for the Japanese cavalry to come from far and near.
Liu Jianhua grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, raised the submachine gun diagonally with the other, and said in a throat: "Brothers, the group seat often teaches us that we would rather die standing than live on our knees!" Even if we die, we will die on the way to charge, not on the way to escape! When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Reconnaissance company, offensive !! ”
The war horses under the crotch seemed to be aware of the high-spirited fighting spirit in Liu Jianhua's last roar, with a mournful roar, the front hooves were suddenly raised high, and then Liu Jianhua spread his four hooves and galloped forward.
"Rush! Kill!!! Nearly two hundred dragon tooth cavalry roared in unison like thunder, and followed Liu Jianhua with guns and horses, like a galloping torrent, moving forward.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Di is Fan Dazuo and his subordinates were first shocked, and then they were overjoyed, Xiao Di was the first to put away his pistol, pulled out his adjutant knife and struggled forward to slash the void, and roared loudly: "Warriors, pull out your sabers, rush forward, cut off the head of the man, and let them taste the power of my invincible cavalry of the Japanese Empire!" Kill Quack! ”
As a result, a group of ghost soldiers who were brainwashed by the spirit of bushido put the four-four style horse pistol on their backs, and then pulled out a bright spur, and waved their horses high to meet them.
However, when the two sides gradually approached, Xiao Di is Fan Dazuo suddenly discovered that the group of cavalry on the opposite side did not draw their swords, but held a submachine gun in their hands.
Xiao Di Shifan, who suddenly felt bad in his heart, immediately exclaimed: "Baga, the people of China are very cunning, and they have no military spirit and courage at all!" Bastard dripping work! ”
