When the cavalry of thousands of people charged collectively, the momentum was still very amazing. But since World War I, when machine guns were used on the battlefield, dense group charges have become synonymous with death and slaughter. Now on the battlefield of World War II, it has long been a world of steel, the German armored cluster charge and the duel of thousands of tanks on the battlefield are really shocking, and the charge of a large number of cavalry has gradually withdrawn from the stage of war.

Only on the Chinese battlefield, relying on the backwardness of the Chinese army's equipment, did little Japan still retain the cavalry team in terms of establishment, and used it on the battlefield many times to make collective charges. But what they encountered today was Wang Haitao's well-equipped army, which was basically composed of veterans of a hundred battles, so the collective charge of the cavalry wing turned into a one-sided massacre.

The Japanese cavalry charged very resolutely, the front ones fell, and the rear ones still shouted slogans and rushed forward. But in the face of dozens or even hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, coupled with the incessant bombardment of all kinds of artillery fire, the cavalry had only a share of tragedy. The dead soldiers and horses were almost piled up two hundred meters in front of the two formations, almost forming a wall, and it also blocked the charge of the few remaining cavalry behind.

The Japanese cavalry wing, having suffered most of the casualties, finally collapsed, and the living cavalry stopped charging, turned their horses' heads, and retreated backwards. Tang Longzai, the commander of the 91st Army, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had repelled the charge of the Japanese cavalry, but immediately his anger came out again. It was just bombed by the little Japanese planes without heads and brains, and then the group charge of the Japanese cavalry, who did not catch fire when encountered.

Tang Longzai called the signal soldier and said with a murderous face: "Send an order to Li Changwu and Tang Hongming, let them attack Lao Tzu immediately, the tiger is not powerful, and I think I am a sick cat!" When the signal soldier passed the order to Li Changwu and Tang Hongming, the two were respectively in the army to command and clean up the mess. Many of the bombs and bombs dropped by the Japanese planes just now fell on the positions of the two divisions, and before they could finish up, they encountered the charge of the Japanese cavalry, which also made the two very unhappy.

Now that the order to attack was delivered, both of them were in good spirits. Li Changwu immediately ordered the mixed armored regiment assigned to him to attack, and in order to keep up with the armored regiment, Li Changwu mobilized a batch of trucks to load the infantry. At the same time, the division's self-propelled howitzer, artillery regiment and rocket artillery battalion also attacked. The number of trucks was limited, and only two infantry regiments of the 463rd Brigade were loaded to attack together, and then Li Changwu transferred two regiments from the 462nd Brigade to keep them up with the attacking troops.

The 210 task of attacking is much simpler, their division itself is built according to the standards of the German mechanized division, and its mobility ability is quite strong, and the order to attack was conveyed to Tang Hongming, who did not hesitate and immediately ordered the whole division to attack except for one regiment left on the position. Therefore, the division's armored regiment and the mixed armored regiment attached to it took the lead, and the infantry behind them got into trucks and other transport vehicles, and advanced in the direction of the 68th division of the Japanese army.

Although the 90th Division did not encounter the attack of the Japanese army, Tang Yikuan was also angry in his heart, and the Japanese air attack on the 90th Division was in the direction of Yumu Mountain, and it suffered the most bombs and bombs, and the losses were also the most serious among the three divisions. After a brief cleanup, Tang Yikuan also ordered Tang Yiqun to lead the 271st Brigade into the mountain and continue to attack Yumu Mountain.

In the bombing of the Japanese plane just now, two aviation bombs and bombs fell on the tent where Wang Haitao was located, but fortunately, the shrenchnel also tore open the tent, making the guards around Wang Haitao very nervous. Wang Haitao didn't look like he was working together, and continued to think about the map on the table. Tang Longzai ordered the two divisions to attack, and Wang Haitao also knew that he knew very well the strength of the two divisions under him, so he did not stop it.

According to the idea of the two division commanders, as long as the cavalry wing can tear a hole in the position of the Chinese army, then the infantry behind can rush into the position of the Chinese army, and in this case, the Chinese army will definitely fall into chaos, and it will not be difficult to defeat the Chinese army.

Unexpectedly, the charge of the two cavalry wings not only failed to tear open the position of the Chinese army, but was also wiped out by most of the Chinese army, and the remaining two or three hundred cavalry also fled back. What was even more unexpected was that the Chinese army, after repelling the cavalry charge, immediately launched a counterattack. Unexpectedly, the infantry following the cavalry fell into danger.

When the 211th Division was moving forward, the chariots that rushed to the front were the first to spot the Japanese infantry directly ahead. Before they could spot the Japanese army, the Japanese had already spotted the attacking Chinese troops, as the dust raised by the large number of chariots had already exposed the target, and there was also a message from the fleeing cavalry. Therefore, when the tanks spotted the Japanese troops, the Japanese troops stopped advancing and were preparing for engagement.

In such a short period of time, the Japanese army had no time to rush to repair the fortifications, so they could only find a suitable ground type on the spot and then set up their weapons. However, it is not easy to confront armored forces in this terrain. The commander of the Japanese army in charge, Kotake Yasumasada, found in the telescope that the Chinese troops were all in front of the giant chariots, and his face was immediately ugly.

Knowing that his team had no weapons capable of destroying these huge chariots, he immediately called for artillery support from the division commander, Lieutenant General Sumita Raishiro, in order to block the attack of these chariots. The field artillery wing of the 39th Division was at the foot of Yunpan Mountain, and 36 field guns and 12 mountain guns were all ready for shelling.

Lieutenant General Sumita Raishiro received a call from Kotake Yasusa, and a feeling of unease suddenly came to him, and he did not hesitate to give the order to Kurosawa Moikatsu Osa, the commander of the 39th Field Artillery Wing, to support Kotake Yasusa's infantry wing with artillery fire. Soon all the Japanese artillery opened fire continuously, and one shell after another flew towards the attacking chariot team.

Soon the shells fell on the attacking ranks, and heavy tanks in combat vehicles were not afraid of such shells at all, and light tanks and heavy armored vehicles did not cause much damage as long as they were not directly hit by shells. But the infantry following behind the battlecar was different, and the air wave of the shells and the flying shrapnel caused the affected soldiers to fall one after another.

Behind the battlecar were the 880th Regiment and the 881st Regiment, and Wei Erxi, the commander of the 463rd Brigade who was in charge of the battlefield command, also marched with the armored troops in an armed command vehicle. This command vehicle was assigned to the 463rd Brigade when he was resting in Yongzhou, and Wang Haitao brought back these command vehicles when he returned from the arms depot for the last time, but he never gave up the money for everyone to use. In addition to the two vehicles left by the headquarters, the military headquarters of the 91st Army and the three divisions were each allocated two vehicles, and the 463rd Brigade was also allocated one.

As soon as he got it, Wei Erxi immediately fell in love with this command car, and stayed on the command car to direct the battle during the battle. When the main force of the Japanese infantry was discovered, Wei Erxi stopped the command vehicle and built a temporary command post in the command vehicle. As soon as the shells fell on the attacking team, Wei Erxi immediately used the on-board radio to contact the division headquarters.

The self-propelled howitzer and artillery regiment of the 211th Division followed, and there was also a rocket artillery battalion following behind, and Li Changwu, who had just been officially promoted to the post of division commander during the Yongzhou break, immediately sent a telegram to Tang Weizhong, the commander of the artillery regiment, to destroy the Japanese artillery as soon as possible. After receiving the order, Tang Weizhong immediately asked the observers to observe the azimuth coordinates of the Japanese artillery position.

After a while, the observer reported to Tang Weizhong, because the distance was too far, he could only roughly calculate the direction of the Japanese artillery position, and if he opened fire only in this situation, he was really not sure to completely destroy the Japanese artillery position. At this time, Tang Weizhong's eyes fell on Li Fugen, the commander of the rocket artillery battalion beside him. Li Fugen was the commander of the heavy firepower battalion of the guard brigade, and because the rocket artillery battalion was extremely important, Wang Haitao transferred Li Fugen from the guard brigade to the rocket artillery battalion.

Tang Weizhong, who had experienced rocket artillery firing, understood that under the current circumstances, the only way to completely destroy the Japanese artillery positions in a short period of time was to rely on the terrifying power of the rocket artillery battalion. At the moment of the great enemy, Li Fugen did not say much, and immediately ordered the rocket artillery battalion to prepare to launch according to the direction provided by the observers*. Soon fifteen rocket launchers were ready for launch.

Li Fugen gave an order, and in an instant, a "whoosh, whoosh" sound sounded on the rocket artillery position, and within ten seconds 285* flew out, and the scene of the launch shocked people who had never seen it. In just a few seconds, a large cloud of gunpowder smoke and fire rose in the distance, and the sound of explosions was heard. The big killer that will only appear decades later in history has made little Japan suffer now because of the appearance of Wang Haitao.

The rocket artillery battalion fired only one round, and the shells instantly engulfed the Japanese artillery positions and the surrounding protected troops, and the Japanese did not even have time to react. The sound of explosions and shells continued for several minutes before it fell silent, and no one in the area covered by the shelling survived. The death of more than a thousand people is not the main thing, the point is that this instantaneous artillery fire cover is too terrifying.

Lieutenant General Sumita Laishiro, the commander of the 39th Division, listened to the astonishing explosion outside the division headquarters and heard the report of his subordinates, and was so shocked that even the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. And the chief of staff, Kikuo Asami, was also shocked and speechless for a long time. After a long while, Lieutenant General Sumita Laishiro asked Asami Kihisao Daisa in a somewhat trembling voice, "How can the people of China have such terrifying artillery fire?

After thinking for a long time, Asami Kikuo Dazuo replied: "Your Excellency the division commander, the ferocity of the artillery fire of the people of China has exceeded that of our division and regiment too much, and it is difficult for us to win this battle in the eyes of our subordinates, and now if our division and regiment move towards Hengyang City, we can also rely on the solidity of Hengyang City to fight to the death with the army of Zhina, if we stick to this, I am afraid that all the jade will be shattered here!
