Chapter 113 Follow the trend
A wing of chariot troops and a number of infantry only resisted for less than twenty-five minutes before being defeated, Yang Jianfeng could not hide his joy, and shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Brothers, catch up, give priority to shooting devil tanks!" Then he reported to Zhang Cheng: "Brigade seat, our regiment has defeated the enemy army in front of you. Now the enemy army is fleeing along the east bank of the Gan River to the south, and our troops are in pursuit! Please brother troops to keep up! ”
According to the plan drawn up before the war, the Ninth Division will give full play to the characteristics of its own unit's mobility and superior armor protection capability, and once it makes a breakthrough, it will crush it like mercury and completely crush the Japanese army's structure. Then, with the regiment as a unit, with the cooperation of the Third Division, the Japanese army continued to attack the Japanese army, completely disrupting the Japanese army and making it always out of a state of chaos.
Zhang Cheng received a report and was about to order other troops to follow, so he rushed over in a hurry, but received a report from the regiment that remained in Maqiu Town, saying that a large force of Japanese cavalry had been found three kilometers south of Maqiu, and that a company of the regiment was going to snipe. Zhang Cheng didn't know that this cavalry was smuggled from Nanxinxiang on the order of Yamamuro Zongwu, and thought that this was some strange trick that the Japanese came up with to deal with them. His mind turned extremely fast, and he immediately ordered Yang Jianfeng to abandon the chariot troops pursuing the Japanese army, and let them move in the southeast direction, striving to attack the Japanese cavalry troops from the side. At the same time, he changed the direction of attack of the main force, and all the other regiments turned to the left and directly met the "attacking" Japanese cavalry.
Satobe was actually attacked by the Xuebing Army's Chongtan troops, and the news reached the ears of Yamamuro Sotake, and he reacted immediately and realized that this was the yellow bird reserved by Ouyang Yun. At that moment, he immediately gathered his troops and went back to defend his position, and at the same time hid the artillery to the south, and then sent a telegram to Yamada Joji and Tanabe Isamu respectively, asking the latter to return the same way immediately, and asked the former to postpone his trip to Toyama Township and turn southward to see if there was a chance to outflank the back road of the attacking Xuebing Army, and solve the yellow finch first.
The two telegrams were sent one after the other, seemingly in time, but in fact they were too late.
Let's start with the combined cavalry forces led by Isamu Tanabe. The total number of Japanese troops in this unit was nearly 5,000, and because they were all high-headed horses, they were extremely fast even though it was night. About a squadron of cavalry at the head ran at the front, and they first encountered three cadets on a reconnaissance mission. A fierce battle ensued, and the three cadets were naturally no match for the cavalry of a squadron, but they successfully sounded the alarm with the sound of gunfire.
The three apprentices were outnumbered and died heroically after killing nine horses and killing five devils.
After Tanabe caught up, he concluded that the three cadets "should be reconnaissance outposts of the cadet army," and after weighing them, he decided to launch a tentative attack to the north. He increased the pathfinder force to a large group, and with this brigade as the vanguard, the main force slowly followed and marched towards Maqiu Town, and soon exchanged fire with about a company of cadets who had arrived to reinforce Maqiu Town.
A company's cadets, more than 100 Weiqing style and disease-going style, the powerful firepower it shows is definitely enough for a little devil to drink a pot. It is important to know that the combat characteristics of cavalry are speed and close combat, and this kind of cross-continuous fire is the nemesis of the cavalry unit's charge. After five minutes of fierce fighting, a brigade of forward cavalry launched three rounds of charges, but before they could rush to within 30 meters of the company's cadets, they were killed and wounded more than 300 people. When the situation was reported to Isamu Tanabe, the little devil was furious, and at this time, although they had already discovered that there was a battle in the direction of Nanchang City, they thought that it was Sato who took the lead in attacking. His second lieutenant calculated and felt that he should be able to eat the cadets of this company no matter what, so he mobilized two brigades to outflank him on the left and right, and at the same time, he personally led the team to slowly approach from the front.
It's sad! The cavalry brigade responsible for outflanking from the right was just that, and the cavalry brigade responsible for outflanking from the left ran out of the northwest direction for about a thousand meters, and a few devils at the head suddenly found a lamppost approaching far away, and heard a faint roar of the engine, and some people questioned: "How can there be a chariot coming towards us?" "The captain of the Left Cavalry Brigade is a captain named Hua Yuan Yizi. He replied well: "It should be His Excellency Sato's chariot troops who rushed over to reinforce it, right?" No, we have to get ahead of them! The others thought it was reasonable, so they rushed forward at a faster speed, well, their acceleration just happened to completely expose the left flank of their own troops in front of the chariot troops of the 27th Brigade. Then, Huayuan Yizi had just ordered to charge the enemy, and over there, the three "Yangtze crocodiles" that were in the forefront opened fire at the same time, and the three fires exploded in the array of the Huayuan Cavalry Brigade.
The sudden shelling completely blew up the devils. Hua Yuan reacted and shouted: "Eight Ge, it's the Zhina person!" ”
"Your Excellency, what now?" One of the squadron leaders asked him.
Hua Yuan was about to answer, but there were a few more cannon shots, and then he only felt a white expanse in front of him, his body was in pain and flying, and his mouth let out a sound: "Ah! "Even the people and horses were swept away by the air.
As soon as Hua Yuan died, the devil cavalry of the department was in chaos. And when a flare rose into the sky, illuminating the world and the sky transparently, and at the same time opening a corner of the camp attacking the students, the devil cavalry of this brigade completely lost their fighting spirit. Except for more than 100 devils who rushed towards the roaring "Yangtze Alligator" under the leadership of a squadron leader, the others all turned around and ran towards the main force.
The head of the 27th Brigade is the 325th Regiment, and the commander of the regiment, Wu Qiming, saw the corners of his mouth and sneered: "SB, send to death!" Then he ordered: "Don't open fire, just hit them!" ”
"Roger!" The tank crews of the 325th Regiment are coming hard.
Qian Guangming in the rear was unhappy, and he scolded in the walkie-talkie: "Wu Qiming, you bastard boy, is there such a loser as you?" So many good horses! Brothers, listen to my orders and try to shoot people and not horses! ”
"Yes!"
Wu Qiming was not annoyed when he was scolded, and muttered; "The teachers are all obsessed with money. Now it's all mechanized warfare, this horse needs to be used for hair?! ”
The gunner next to him listened and said seriously: "Tuanza, what you said is not right, can you eat meat no matter how bad it is!" ”
"Ahh You bastard boy, this battle is not over yet, and you are even thinking about eating horse meat! But what you say reminds me - listen to me, keep bombarding! Anyway, in this cold day, the horse dies, and the meat will not be bad for a while. If he is alive, I am afraid that the master will not be willing to kill! ”
The gunner laughed evilly and shouted: "Order! Shouting, pressing his thumb, with a "boom", there was a huge shock on the body, and a puff of gunpowder smoke rose up, and he actually fired a shot without letting the driver stop.
