Section 98 Vulnerable
Section 98 Vulnerable
The soldiers of the three battalions were half-lying on the horseback and galloping wildly, galloping all the way without the slightest stop, the sound of hooves was hurried, shouting and shouting, and the dust rolled up by the horse's hooves was even more shocking to the sky, if it was on the flat ground, I am afraid that several miles away could see this situation thoroughly, fortunately, this area is all hilly and mountainous, but it is not so exaggerated, but such an obvious sign, the whereabouts are inevitably exposed. However, even so, Li Shijian, the commander of the third battalion who took the lead, did not hesitate at all, and the horsewhip in his hand was whipped fiercely to the horse's buttocks, and the war horse was in pain, screaming sadly, and the speed couldn't help but be a little faster.
Although he has been the commander of the third battalion for a while, to be honest, he has not had much room and space to play, which has little to do with the previous battalion commander Liu Taiping was transferred to the regiment headquarters to continue to be a staff officer, but the status of the third battalion itself is relatively special, and the regiment commander is also extremely cautious in their use. However, these officers have no record of success, and compared with the first and second battalions, which must be in charge of every battle, they seem to have a natural feeling of inferiority.
In today's battle, the regiment commander handed over the heavy task of raiding the enemy army to their three battalions, this kind of opportunity was something Li Shijian had never dared to think of before, until now, Li Shijian was a little unrelievable, and his whole body couldn't suppress the excitement. But excitement is excitement, and the huge pressure on his body still makes him faintly breathless. Although the regiment commander had already explained the details of the battle clearly before leaving, fighting a war is not like playing chess, any unexpected situation can happen, once something goes wrong, it will affect the entire battle situation, if it is really because of the mistakes of their third battalion that leads to the failure of the attack strategy, you don't need to think about it, you know, I am afraid that he will never have such an opportunity to command the action of the third battalion alone in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Shijian couldn't help but remember the explanation given by the head of the regiment before he came, and couldn't help waving the horsewhip again and shouting at the people next to him: "Speed up, hurry, hurry up." ”
The war horse accelerated again, and the speed was at its limit in the roar, and the distance of several miles was instantaneous, and it did not give people time to react at all.
The scouts of the Japanese army have been looking for the main force of the enemy army around Gao'an City these days, and the battle of Gao'an is strange from the inside out, especially when they think that the enemy on the opposite side is the 74th Army that gave them a blow in the area of Wanjialing, the Japanese army is extremely uneasy, and such an army will retreat inexplicably when the situation is not clear? And if you withdraw or twice, it would be strange if there were no ghosts in it.
This strange situation, even if the commanders of the command headquarters do not say it, these Japanese scouts with noses more intelligent than dogs have already smelled the danger. If it weren't for the fact that they had too few people, I'm afraid they would have really searched mountain by mountain in order to determine whether it was really safe within a radius of dozens of miles. However, their number is too small, a squadron of more than 150 scouts, except for the people who stay behind to change the guard, it is already the limit to have 100 people to guard the surroundings, but in a range of tens of miles, this 100 people are scattered is a drop in the bucket, the only thing they can do is to monitor all sections of the road to ensure that if there are enemy troops around, they can detect it as soon as possible.
The tactics of the Japanese scouts played a significant role, and after the 3rd Battalion broke out of Lion Ridge not far away, two Japanese scouts discovered their whereabouts. However, when these two Japanese soldiers saw the cavalry unit rushing out like wolves and tigers, they were terrified, and their souls were almost lost.
There were too many of these enemy horses, and the smoke and dust that rushed into the sky and the momentum of the rushing rush reminded them of the surprise attack when they first arrived outside Gao'an City, and the deep fear from the bottom of their hearts surged into their hearts in an instant, making them feel a little difficult to breathe.
At such a moment when they were stunned, the enemy army galloping out of the horse had already rushed out hundreds of paces, and was about to disappear in front of their eyes in the blink of an eye. The two scouts finally reacted, they were so frightened that they couldn't help but turn around and run, on the one hand, they were afraid of being chased by enemy scouts, and on the other hand, they had to report the shocking situation they found immediately, otherwise, it would be the end of such a surprise attack of the enemy army into the battlefield.
The cavalry troops who ran all the way didn't pay attention to them at all, and they didn't know if they didn't find them, or they didn't look down on such a little fish and shrimp, which made the Japanese scouts who ran away very happy, but then they found out that the problem was that these enemy horsemen occupied the avenue and galloped all the way, not afraid of revealing their whereabouts at all, and they wanted to rush back to report the news, but there was no way out. All of a sudden, they can only stare at each other and copy the path? In such a strange hilly area, you may get lost in the mountains.
Such a situation is not only encountered by the first two scouts, but also the subsequent Japanese reconnaissance posts are also facing this helpless situation, they watched the enemy cavalry roar past, but they could only avoid it, and only after they passed rushed to the front line of Chazi Mountain and Gao'an City to report, this time, it was obviously too late in time. However, there were also a few groups of alert scouts who saw the smoke and dust in the sky from a distance and judged that the situation was not good, and they rode back from a long distance, and returned to various places first.
When the squadron rushing to Gao'an for reinforcements received the news that the enemy cavalry was rushing towards them, they were only about a mile away from Gao'an City, and they saw from a distance that Gao'an City was shrouded in artillery smoke and gunfire, and listening to the dense and fierce gunfire in the city, they had just breathed a sigh of relief when they received a warning sound from a distance.
The squadron leader didn't know if he was naturally more cautious or if he was really scared, so as soon as he heard the gunshot, he did not hesitate to order to stop advancing and stay on guard. Perhaps it was precisely because of his caution that the commanders of the Inner Yellow Line would choose them to come to reinforce Gao'an, after all, no one knew if there would be an enemy ambush along the way.
However, this time their caution did not think of the slightest effect, the speed of the cavalry of the third battalion was too fast, almost when they had just reacted, they had already rushed to the front of this Japanese army, and outside the Chaotianmen, except for a few small dirt slopes, there was nothing to rely on, and before these Japanese troops had chosen their positions and set up their weapons, Li Shijian, who was like a tiger descending the mountain, had already led the three battalions of soldiers to kill in front of them.
The Japanese squadron leader looked at the overwhelming enemy cavalry, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot. He never thought that it would be a cavalry that would raid them, and the speed was so fast that they didn't even have time to react, if they had a position to rely on, there was a line of defense that they could rely on, with their firepower, the enemy cavalry with high horses was completely their target, as long as there was anything that could delay the opponent's advance, their powerful machine gun fire could instantly cripple the attacking enemy, however, all this is only if, the most unattainable thing in this world is if.
It's not just the squadron leader who was directly frightened when he saw the enemy cavalry rushing in, so the Japanese army was already stupid at this time.
They couldn't understand why they had set up so many sentry posts and sent so many scouts, but they didn't get the news until the enemy came to them, and the journey of more than a mile, from the time they received the warning to the appearance of the enemy, was just a few breaths, and in such a short time, the orders of their squadron leader had not even fully reached the ears of every soldier, but the enemy did not give them the space to react, and those fierce enemy horsemen rushed towards them mercilessly, revealing their hideous faces.
A burst of gunfire rang out, not dense but powerful. It was not the counterattack of the Japanese army, but Li Shijian and the others, seeing that they were about to break through into the enemy formation, did not hesitate to raise their cavalry guns and shoot a round.
And this burst of gunfire finally woke up the frightened Japanese soldiers, watching several companions beside them scream and fall to the ground, watching the blood gushing out of their bodies, and the fear of death pulled them back to the terrifying reality.
In the face of enemy cavalry several times their size, in this situation of having no support and having been rushed in front of the opponent, they did not have any power to fight back at all, I don't know who shouted in horror, and then everyone in this squadron began to run wildly and fled in all directions.
At this time, they no longer had time to think about whether two legs could outrun four legs, and they couldn't even think about whether they would be shot if they ran back. In the face of the brutal fact that the shadow of death loomed over their heads, the only thing they could do was to run, or at least then they seemed to have a little bit of life. In fact, their fate was already sealed when the three battalions of cavalry appeared in front of them, in the absence of a strong defensive line to rely on, once they were rushed in front of them, there was no sparing at all, not to mention anything else, just the speed of the war horse crashed into them, it was enough to break them to pieces, not to mention that there were also fierce knights on horseback.
"Catch up, don't let go of a single devil, kill them all." Li Shi saw that he roared again and again, and split a Japanese soldier who surrendered on his knees into two with a knife, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were scattered, he couldn't help but be murderous, that kind of exhilarating feeling made him feel for the first time how happy it was to command a unit to fight, watching the enemy disappear in front of him, watching the fierce devil kneel at his feet and beg for mercy, he finally realized what it means to be vertical and horizontal, what is called a broken bamboo, the feeling of controlling the enemy's life and death, and controlling the entire battlefield, made him immersed in it for a moment, and it was difficult to extricate himself.
