Chapter 1011: The End of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry (4)

The battle in the direction of Zhengbai Banner has already reached the ears of Lieutenant General Chun through the defenders in the city, and he was shocked to learn that the army of China had surrounded the Fourth Cavalry Brigade outside the city of Zhengbai Banner. If the other armies surrounded the 4th Cavalry Brigade, then Lieutenant General Chun would not be so alarmed, with the strong attack power of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, even if it could not break through, it would be enough to support the arrival of reinforcements.

But now surround the 4th Cavalry Brigade is the 61st Army, the 61st Army, the Great Japanese Imperial Army, the Great Japanese Army, since the beginning of the Showa 12th war, this Chinese Army has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Imperial Army, and many brigade and regimental level Imperial Army have been completely annihilated by this Imperial Army, if it is not rescued in time, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade is likely to follow in the footsteps of the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which is absolutely a disaster for the entire Mongolian army and himself.

**Chun did not dare to slack off, and immediately telegraphed the defenders in Zhengbai Banner City to go out of the city to assist the Fourth Cavalry Brigade in the battle, and at the same time ordered the reinforcements of Sunit Banner, who were still grinding on the road, to ask them to immediately speed up the march and be sure to arrive at Zhengbai Banner within five hours.

After doing this, Lieutenant General Chun still felt very unsteady, and Chen Feng's repeated big moves had left a shadow on the heart of the Japanese Army lieutenant general. Lieutenant General Chun, who had a bad premonition, personally sent a telegram to General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the North China Front, requesting His Excellency Terauchi Shouichi to give priority to the hegemony of the Japanese Empire, and to send powerful troops as quickly as possible to attack the important strongholds garrisoned by the 61st Army, and force the Chinese army stationed deep in the hinterland of the Mongolian army to return for reinforcements.

After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Chun, Shouichi Terauchi decided to help the old thing **Chun after thinking about it for a while. He personally sent a telegram to the Yamashita Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou, ordering Major General Yamashita Fengwen to lead the Chinese Garrison Brigade, the 8th Infantry Division of the Imperial Allied Army, and the Zhangjiakou Guard Cavalry Regiment to immediately set out from Zhangjiakou and attack the front line of Zhangbei and Xinghe, which were empty of troops. At the same time, he ordered Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki to immediately go north to attack the Shuozhou and Huairen lines, and telegraphed Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, commander of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the Japanese North China Front, to carry out indiscriminate bombing of Datong, Jining, Fengzhen, Tianzhen, Zuoyun, Youyu, Shangdu, Xinghe, and other places starting tomorrow, and all destroyers and bombers were lifted into the air.

However, no matter how the Japanese jumped up and down, in fact they had lost the first opportunity, and when the two units of the 61st Army surrounded the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry outside Zhengbai Banner City, the end of the 4th Brigade was already doomed.

The so-called castle of Zhengbaiqi is nothing more than a mound less than three meters high and less than two meters wide, all made of turf unique to the grassland. Under the artillery fire of the artillery regiment of the guard regiment, it soon crumbled, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army under the city under the command of the brigade commander desperately launched a charge against the cavalry units of the 61st Army.

The duel between the cavalry and the cavalry was brutal, and when two cavalry units collided together, the effect was amazing, and tens of thousands of cavalry brought nothing but blood and death.

Half an hour later, the infantry of the 61st Army had already stormed the city of Zhengbaiqi and compressed a Japanese infantry brigade into a small area, and it was only a matter of time before it was annihilated. The cavalry battle outside the city is still in full swing, due to the addition of a cavalry brigade in the city, the total strength of the fourth cavalry brigade of the Japanese army has exceeded 5,000 people, although it is still at a disadvantage, but the difference in strength is not very great.

The battle lasted until a quarter past nine o'clock in the evening, and the cavalry battle had been going on for two and a half hours, and the battlefield had been transferred from the gate of Zhengbai Banner to the grass five kilometers south of the city.

Both sides were exhausted, Xu Fufu's hand holding the saber was already trembling, and a thumb-long cut was oozing blood. And the war horse under the crotch is even more unbearable, I don't know how many times Lu Dao has charged, and there is a rough white gas spraying on the nose, which makes people worry about whether it will fall like this.

One of the arms of Jiang Haoran, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the 101st Division, was cut off by a captain of the Japanese army, of course, the captain did not please him, he was pulled off the horse by Jiang Haoran, and was trampled into a pulp by the galloping war horse at the very least. Jiang Haoran, whose face was pale, ignored the dissuasion of the guards, just bandaged it briefly, and continued to charge at the enemy with his saber.

The commander of the 222nd Division's cavalry regiment, Ge Riletu, was a Mongolian man with extremely superb riding skills, and he was now one of the few officers in the entire cavalry team who was not injured. In the battle just now, he killed a total of twenty-six Japanese knights, including two squadron leaders and a group leader.

Although the commander of the cavalry of the Seventh Independent Division, Hairi Khan, is also a Mongolian man, his riding skills are far inferior to Geri Letu, but Hairi Khan is born with divine power, he can pull down the running war horse at once, and he is a famous horse trainer in the Saibei grassland, and the war horse under him is also a wild horse that he personally caught. In the battle just now, Hairi Khan killed a total of 38 Japanese cavalrymen, and led his guard platoon to chase the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry, Takashi Sen, for nearly two hours. Although he was stabbed twice on his arm by the Japanese army, he still looked very energetic, and the body did not seem to affect his movements.

Compared with the cavalry units of the 61st Army, the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army was obviously much more miserable, with less than 2,000 cavalry left in more than 5,000 cavalry, although there were only more than 4,000 cavalry left in the opposite side, and the casualty ratio on both sides was almost 1:1.

However, Eagle Takashi Mori knew that the losses of the Shina army were actually far less heavy than theirs, because the battle in the White Flag City was over, and their infantry were driving cars and motorcycles towards the battlefield on one side, and on the other side were shuttling through the battlefield to rescue the wounded.

Seeing the rapidly approaching convoy of China, Eagle Takamori knew that today was probably the day when he would be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will shown by this army made him feel terrified, even the most elite troops of the Imperial Japanese Army were only like this, fortunately, there was only one such army, and if there were more than a few, the fate of the empire would be worried. Looking at his right hand, which was dripping with blood, Ying Xiaosen was furious, he had just been chased by that crazy Chi Na officer for more than two hours, it was really a shame.

However, I have to admire, although that person is hateful, but his strength is really good, even the first tactical master of the brigade, Captain Yanagawa Pingbo, is not his opponent, and he was cut off by that barbarian with brute force. You must know that Captain Yanagawa is a famous Japanese sword master, and he has reached the sixth rank of the black belt, but he didn't expect to be broken here.

Eagle Takamorichi was ready to die in battle, calmed his rapid breathing a little, turned to Lieutenant Kogoro who was following him and said: "Lieutenant, immediately send a report to the headquarters, our Fourth Cavalry Brigade is under siege, the white flag has fallen two hours ago, and the defenders are collectively shattered." Our army has been fighting hard for two and a half hours and still has not been able to break through the encirclement of the Chinese people, and now the people are sleepy and tired and have no strength to break through the encirclement, and they are now ready to die with the Chinese people. ”

Suddenly, Lieutenant Kogoro said excitedly: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the headquarters has called, Your Excellency the Commander has ordered our troops to hold on for an hour, and reinforcements from a cavalry brigade of the Imperial Army and a cavalry division of the Imperial Allied Army will arrive on the battlefield in an hour." ”

"Yo Xi, call back to His Excellency the Commander, and say that our army will definitely wait for the arrival of reinforcements!" Hearing that reinforcements would arrive in an hour at most, Takashi Senichi's mind became more active, and now the Chinese army had been fighting hard with his cavalry brigade for nearly three hours, and the situation was not much better than theirs. And the Imperial Army of a brigade and the Imperial Association Army of a division have at least more than 6,000 people, and with the addition of this new force, it is also possible to fight a beautiful counterattack.

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny, only to see that under the opening of dozens of motorcycles, more than 200 cars flocked to it. What happened next made Takashi Moriichi's head a little unable to turn, and the cavalry on the opposite side retreated a kilometer en masse, leaving only more than 200 cars parked on the opposite side.

"Woooooo The roar of the car and the ever-brightening lights bring Takashi Moriichi's thoughts back to reality.

Looking at the Japanese cavalry on the opposite side, who were obviously stunned, Chen Feng decisively gave the order to attack. I saw hundreds of cars slamming the accelerator and rushing towards the Japanese cavalry, while the soldiers sitting on the carts were sitting upright, staring at the approaching Japanese cavalry.

Closer, closer, closer. When the convoy was less than three hundred meters away from the Japanese cavalry, the Japanese cavalry also charged.

When the distance between the two troops was less than 200 meters, the soldiers in the car pulled the trigger, and the two heavy machine guns mounted on the roof of the car quickly opened fire, and in an instant the Japanese cavalry unit turned on their backs.

The collision of flesh and blood with the torrent of steel must have been tragic. The reason why Chen Feng used automobiles to deal with the Japanese cavalry was completely borrowed from Germany's practice of using tanks against Polish cavalry. To be honest, against a veteran class like cavalry, armor strength is the best choice. Just as when Germany blitzed Poland, thousands of Polish cavalry were torn to pieces by German armored clusters, and such a duel was not a battle at all, it could only be regarded as a massacre, a naked massacre.

However, because of the limited resources of the 61st Army, it can only use cars instead of tanks and armored vehicles, although the effect is not as good as tanks, but the victory is that cars are more flexible, and the firepower is stronger than combat vehicles, a car can be installed with six light and heavy machine guns, so powerful firepower is enough to deal with little devils who have never seen the world.
