After Liu Zheliang led the follow-up troops of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions to Gao'an, he left the 9th Brigade to defend Gao'an, and then drove to the big town with other troops. After arriving in the big town, he asked all the other troops under the 3rd Division to chase after Bai Tassel, and he stayed in the big town with the 2nd Division, preparing to wait for the arrival of the main force here.

Liu Zheliang had selfish motives in this arrangement, hoping that his division would be able to participate in the battle of besieging the 33rd Division with the main force. However, before the large army could wait, just after four o'clock, the reconnaissance post in front came back with the news that a Japanese cavalry was coming to the big town.

"How many?"

"We didn't dare to get too close, and it was estimated at around two thousand."

A wing of cavalry units of the Japanese army, numbering between 2000-3000. The advantage of the cavalry is speed, and the plain is the place where its combat power can be best exerted, which is why Gan Shigetaro did not let them attack the Lion Gate with a large army.

"Two thousand?" Liu Zheliang was overjoyed, and he said to the left and right: "Master Bai has just picked up a big bargain, and this group of cavalry should be here to take revenge." Great, if nothing else, we can eat alone! Both left and right laughed. Liu Zheliang led his troops out of the big town, with the tank regiment as the lead, the armored regiment followed, and the artillery regiment was behind, and four of the six infantry regiments were selected to penetrate from the left and right, preparing to encircle the 33rd Cavalry Wing on three sides.

Liu Zheliang had just put out the tank regiment and the armored regiment on standby, and a thousand meters ahead, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the Japanese scouts arrived.

Unlike Iida Masao, who rushed into the ambush circle set up by the white tassel in a daze, Kentaro Watanabe was much more cautious because he met Inoue Tamei who ran out of the big town on the way, and under the latter's reminder, it was the most elite chariot unit of the Cadet Army that appeared in the big town. He successively arranged two groups of scout cavalry in front of the large army, one of which also carried a mortar.

Kentaro Watanabe had a brilliant plan - mortars could not only be used to test the presence of ambushes ahead, but also to warn large forces in the rear with the sound of artillery when the enemy was detected. This trick was purely created by Watanabe, and no one had used it in China and Japan before, so it was completely unexpected by Liu Zheliang and others. Watanabe's whimsical idea almost made him the first Japanese soldier to kill an officer at the rank of lieutenant general in the Cadet Corps - when Liu Zheliang was standing outside the armored car to report the situation to Ouyang Yun, the two devils happened to level the ground and stuffed a grenade into the barrel of the cannon. So, an accident that made all the students of the Second Division break out in a cold sweat appeared, and Liu Zheliang had important information to report to the commander-in-chief about You Xiaolian, and a grenade whistled and fell down on him. At that time, if it weren't for the guards around him who saw the opportunity quickly, and the six people fell on him almost at the same time and protected him tightly, even if Liu Zheliang didn't die, at least there would be fewer parts on his body.

"The division seat has been blown up!" A student shouted, and the next moment, he was stunned by a slap from an officer next to him: "Bastard, where are you a curse master?" Isn't the division a good place? ”

Ordinary cadets do not know how to strategize, and they do not know that their heart-wrenching shouts may plunge the troops into chaos. Fortunately, the officer reacted quickly, and the slap woke him up.

In order to protect Liu Zheliang, four of the six guards who protected him died, and one was seriously injured and one was lightly injured. After the sound of the cannon, the surrounding students rushed up, and they were busy saving people, and Ouyang Yun's voice came out of the words left on the ground.

"I'm fine!" Liu Zheliang was helped up by the students, he glanced at the dead brothers sadly, picked up the microphone, pressed the send button and said calmly: "Commander-in-chief, I am Zheliang." We encountered a force of Japanese cavalry in the east of Xincheng, numbering about two thousand, and we were going to attack them in an ambush - we could not do so, and the devils seemed to have discovered us. ”

"Where's the tassel?"

"She should be in Anyi."

"How many people are there in Ayutthaya now?"

"Our two divisions are in—"

"You can watch it, remember, the 33rd Division must not be allowed to break through. Get in touch with Feng Lanshan as soon as possible, we may have three hours to reach the battlefield, if they can't hold on, you can put a little pressure on you first!" ”

"Yes, Tetsura understands."

When the artillery rang out in front, Wu Xiangjing, the commander of the artillery regiment of the 2nd Xue Division, was immediately nervous, and he used a walkie-talkie to ask Zhang Changyi, commander of the 6th Xue Brigade, whether to launch a retaliatory artillery attack, saying that they had locked the position of the Japanese artillery. Zhang Changyi was in charge of commanding the armored regiment, which was not very far from Liu Zheliang, and he had already judged that it was a grenade that had injured the division's seat just now, so he said to Wu Xiangjing: "Don't be in a hurry to open fire, wait until I find out the situation." Then, he got out of the car and found Liu Zheliang and asked him for instructions on the next course of action.

The Japanese army fired such a shot, and then there was no movement, which made Liu Zheliang and others very puzzled. They could not have imagined that this was a tentative artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, and they were hesitating whether to attack immediately, when the reconnaissance post in front came back, and Dai Delu, commander of the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division, reported to Liu Zheliang that the Japanese army was only two kilometers away from this side, and the Japanese reconnaissance cavalry seemed to have discovered something and was returning to the large force at this time.

"Without further ado! Offensive! Lao Dai, you tell Commander Wu the location of the Japanese army, and let him come up with a round of rapid fire! ”

"Yes!"

"Inoue-kun, there are only two regiments, right?" In the middle of the 33rd Cavalry Wing, Kentaro Watanabe asked Inoue Tamei.

The latter nodded and asked, "Your Excellency, do you really want to use cavalry to challenge the chariots of the Chinese people?" ”

"Yes."

"However, the bullets we have cannot penetrate the armor of the Shina chariots—"

Watanabe sneered: "Inoue, you were scared by the Shina people." I admit that the chariots of the Chinese are indeed more advanced than ours. The Empire has lagged behind in this regard, but that doesn't mean we can't do anything about them. Chariots also need to be driven by people, so the most important thing about the combat effectiveness of a unit is the quality of soldiers. Hmph, as long as the driver is killed, what if the chariot is powerful? ”

Inoue touched his nose, and thought to himself: "It sounds good, but there are no targeted weapons, what are you going to do to kill the people in the chariot?" ”

As if Zhilu had his thoughts, Watanabe pointed behind him and said, "Wait and see, today I will let you see how the warriors of our 33rd Cavalry Wing defeated the chariot of the Shina people with their flesh and blood!" ”

The black rumble, Inoue couldn't see what kind of secret weapon Watanabe had prepared, in his mind, fighting with flesh and blood and chariots, it was no different from sending him to death, but Watanabe was full of confidence, and he couldn't help but doubt the faith.
