Songshan Valley, located in Shexian County, is a slope valley terrain, there are not many big trees around, there are some wild grasses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Songshan Cave is not inconspicuous at all, but now there is a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, passing through the period quickly.

"Hurry up, we must capture Mushroom Ridge before the little devil's reinforcements arrive!"

"Brothers, work hard, in two hours, we will be able to reach Mushroom Ridge!"

The soldiers marched quickly, and on both sides of the marching road, there were also commanders and fighters urging the march.

Mushroom Ridge is too important!

Whoever occupies Mushroom Ridge will take the lead in the battle!

Thousands of soldiers of the New Second Regiment of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army were marching rapidly.

On the side of the marching road, the regiment commander Ding Wei and the deputy regiment commander Long Wenwen stopped, unfolded the map, and studied the next countermeasures.

Ding Wei said: "Long Wenwen, you see, our current location is in Songshan Valley, only a few dozen miles away from our destination, Mushroom Ridge, according to our speed, it is enough to arrive within 2 hours."

According to the combat effectiveness of our regiment, we are sure that we will resolve the battle within a few hours, capture Mushroom Ridge, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese 110th Division. ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing this, Long Wenwen nodded heavily and said: "Having said that, judging from the Japanese intelligence we have just intercepted, the Japanese 110th Division has dispatched an infantry wing, an artillery brigade, and a cavalry brigade to rush to reinforcements.

Especially the cavalry brigade of the devils!

If we are entangled by them, then it is impossible for us to capture Mushroom Ridge in a short period of time, and even if we can finally take it, it will be difficult to reach the sky! ”

Cavalry brigade?

If the Japanese cavalry brigade cannot be solved, then the plan of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army to cut off the rear route of the Japanese army will be completely defeated!

This is an important decisive point!

"Humph!"

Ding Wei snorted coldly: "We must defeat the little devil's cavalry brigade, pass on my order, order all departments to speed up the march, and the first battalion will stay here to fortify, and we must not let the little devil's cavalry wing catch up." ”

"Yes, Captain!" A communications soldier shouted in response.

After the order was given, Ding Wei turned his head to Long Wen and said, "Where is the cavalry battalion of our army now?" ”

"I don't know yet."

Long Wenwen shook his head and said: "If Long Fei's cavalry battalion can't arrive in time, with the strength of one of our battalions alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop the Japanese army for long!" ”

For a while, whether it was Ding Wei or Long Wenwen, the expressions of the two became extremely solemn.

The cavalry of the Japanese army, in this era, is super powerful!

First of all, the mobility and size of the Oriental war horse is one head higher than that of the Chinese horse, and its movement speed is even more so.

Although the cavalry battalion of our army is equipped with the special Donna horses of the Russian Cossack cavalry, the number is too small after all, and the vast majority of horses in the cavalry battalion are still far inferior to the horses of the Japanese Oriental horses;

Secondly, the equipment of the Japanese cavalry also surpassed that of our cavalry battalions.

The Japanese cavalry soldiers, armed with "32-style" sabers, carried "44-style" cavalry spears and cavalry cartridges, as well as special riding boots, stirrups, and soldiers' leggings.

In short, aside from the personal combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the Japanese cavalry is superior to the cavalry of our army in terms of oriental horses and cavalry equipment alone.

"Damn little devils!"

Ding Wei scolded secretly, put away the map, and rode away quickly.

The deputy regiment commander, Long Wenwen, gave an order to the signal troops: "Continue to contact the cavalry battalion, and report as soon as there is news." ”

"Yes, Deputy Head Dragon!"

Cavalry, a branch of the armed forces that has a history of thousands of years, is famous for its superior mobility and is an indispensable arm for all countries in the world.

However, during World War II, due to the rapid development of scientific and technological forces, the importance of cavalry was greatly reduced, and it was far from its former glory.

But during World War II, this was both the end of the cavalry and its final glory!

Japan has a total of 1.5 million horses, and under maximum mobilization, more than 900,000 horses can be recruited, of which no less than 600,000 horses are used in the Chinese battlefield.

The vast majority of them were used for baggage logistics and artillery units, but around 1939, the cavalry used by the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield was still not a few, and it played a huge role.

In the big and small battles on the Chinese battlefield, there will always be the figure of the Japanese cavalry.

Now the key to the battle between the 512th Brigade and the 110th Division of the Japanese Army is who can occupy Mushroom Ridge.

The key to determining whether the 512th Brigade can capture Mushroom Ridge before the arrival of Japanese reinforcements lies in whether it can solve the Japanese cavalry brigade.

If our army wins, it will be full of life;

If our army is defeated, it will fall into a state of collapse.

~~~~~

May 10, 1939, 10 a.m.

More than 600 cavalrymen of the Japanese cavalry brigade appeared in the Songshan Recess area at a speed of absolute speed.

The cavalry rolled in, kicking up a huge amount of smoke and dust, which was very visually striking.

The accompanying sound of horses stepping on the horse is like a hammer constantly hitting the hearts of our soldiers.

Long Wenwen, the deputy head of the new second regiment, also swallowed a mouthful of spit.

The soldiers of our army, who were responsible for intercepting the Japanese cavalry here, also sweated nervously.

The cavalry of the little devils, no joke!

Moreover, Long Wen also knew that in the absence of extra cover around, his side could only intercept the Japanese cavalry for a very short time!

It's definitely not more than 20 minutes!

"Cavalry, cavalry, where the hell are our cavalry?"

"Why hasn't our cavalry shown up yet?"

~~~~~

Two minutes later, the battle began!

"Tartar gives!"

The Japanese soldiers in the front row uniformly drew their mounted guns and began to shoot.

At this moment, our army was still thousands of meters away from the Japanese army, but in this situation, the Japanese cavalry began to shoot.

This was entirely based on the superiority of the Japanese cavalry with mounted guns in their hands.

The "Type 44" rifle equipped by the Japanese cavalry is a manual bolt carbine developed based on the Type 38 rifle, which is similar to the Type 38 rifle in terms of basic structure. There are also differences, the barrel is reduced to a length of 482mm, so the overall length is only 96.6cm.

But what is puzzling is that the effective range of the Japanese Type 44 rifle is even farther than that of the Type 38 rifle!

"Bang~~~Bang~~~Bang~~~~!"

Although the distance was very long and the accuracy of the shooting was very poor, after all, hundreds of Japanese cavalry opened fire at the same time, and the bullets that rained down immediately caused more than ten casualties to our army.

"Damn it!"

Long Wenwen shouted: "Brothers, call me!" ”

Being beaten passively is not the style of the 512 Brigade.

At that moment, the soldiers, led by Long Wenwen, immediately launched a counterattack on the Japanese cavalry.

Bullets are shooting out of the muzzle!

However, the speed of the Japanese cavalry was too fast and too fast, like a ghost on the battlefield.

In an instant, the Japanese cavalry had already charged a distance of hundreds of meters!

At this moment, the soldiers could almost clearly feel the chill on the Japanese army's saber drawn.

Cold!

Bone-chilling cold!

"What the hell are you doing? Call me! ”

The roar of the dragon article immediately brought some panicked warriors back to their senses.

Pull the bolt, shoot, and repeat the action continuously.

A limited number of light and heavy machine guns also brazenly exerted their power.

"Da Da Da!"

Bullets rained down on the Japanese army.

Suddenly, many Japanese cavalry in the charge fell down with their horses, and the horses turned on their backs, and the horses roared.

The war horse fell to the ground, and it also kicked up a puff of smoke and dust.

This wave of offensive hit the Japanese cavalry fiercely, but the Japanese cavalry was too many, and its speed was too fast.

One after another, the Japanese cavalry entered the position of our army!

"Tartar gives!"

"Charge!"

The plan to intercept the infantry of our army failed!

The captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade, Igarashi Shaoza, sneered: "The Chinese army, who is only a small part of the Chinese army, is simply wishful thinking to stop the glorious cavalry of our Great Japanese Empire, and orders all departments not to fall in love with war, so as to disturb the main force of the Eighth Route Army and ensure the safety of Mushroom Ridge, which is our main purpose!" ”

"Hey!"

The Japanese cavalry immediately began to gallop forward at a rapid pace!

When the dragon article saw this, he was immediately shocked!

"If the little devil's cavalry is allowed to escape, then my main force will definitely be intercepted by it, and when the Japanese army's follow-up reinforcements catch up, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Long Wenwen was really anxious and anxious!

But at this moment!

The cavalry battalion of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of regiment commander Long Fei and deputy regiment commander Sun Desheng, finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment.

The second update of "" is sent.
