Chapter 176: Defeat of the Cavalry Wing

The newly appointed division commander Yang led the death squad again early the next morning to launch a new round of attack on the second line of defense of the first regiment.

This time, this Yang Division Commander was not so lucky, and several charges were repulsed one after another. "Don't you see that the enemy's firepower is getting weaker and weaker! Just one more rush will take the position. "Every time Yoshiko Kawashima coaxed Commander Yang to launch a new attack, but each time he was repulsed by the defenders.

For the last time, Division Commander Yang even led people to rush to the opposite position, but he was driven back with bayonets. After three attacks, more than 1,000 people under Division Commander Yang have been killed and wounded.

"Yo Xi!" Omura Osa nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that the Shina army on the opposite side is running out of ammunition!" Order the troops to prepare for the offensive! ”

In Guyuan City, Li Long put down the binoculars, "These dogs are finally going to move!" Is Guo Fenglai really willing to take refuge in us? ”

Chang Sheng nodded and said, "Tan Zixin defected to the Central Army, Guo Fenglai was unwilling, so he led his troops to leave Zhangjiakou. It took our people to convince him, but he didn't say that he would join us, but promised to kill the devil with us. Guo Fenglai was originally the brigade commander of the 21st Cavalry Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Deng Wen was assassinated, and Tan Zixin led his troops to take refuge in the central government, which made Guo Fenglai very dissatisfied, so he left Zhangjiakou with his troops and wanted to fight alone. After Chang Sheng learned of this, he sent a representative to woo him, hoping to join hands to fight.

Li Long nodded and said, "That's okay, how many people does he have in his hands?" ”

"And seven or eight hundred cavalry!" Chang Sheng replied.

Li Long nodded and said, "With our cavalry battalion, then we can gather enough cavalry!" Inform Guo Fenglai that Lao Tzu's cavalry battalion was temporarily handed over to him for command, and let him immediately lead his troops to quietly detour back behind the Yue army, and when the battle started, he would immediately attack from behind the puppet army! ”

"Yes!"

"So what are we going to do next?" Chang Sheng frowned and asked, he didn't understand Li Long's strategic intentions now, did Li Long want to eat this puppet army in one bite?

"How?" Li Long was also embarrassed for a while, "This group of little devils is very shrewd, they suffered a loss last time, they must be more careful this time, they will send someone to tempt!" ”

Sure enough, Omura Osa still didn't know the bottom in his heart, and finally Komura Osa decided to send a squadron to test it first. More than 100 cavalrymen, in a loose formation, charged towards our position.

The speed of the cavalry charge was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed to a distance of three or four hundred meters, and the commander of the second battalion, who was guarding the second-line position, shouted loudly with a gloomy face, "Get on the bayonet!" One by one, the soldiers skillfully hung their bayonets on their rifles and watched with bated breath as the approaching enemy grew.

At this time, there were more than 300 people in the second battalion, and on average, three people were more than enough to deal with one devil cavalry. Li Long stood on the city wall and observed the battlefield in the distance, muttering to himself, "Shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves and capture kings first!" ”

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "When will the commander also chant poetry!" ”

Li Long scolded with a smile, "Mom is a big man, don't look down on people, although we are rough people, but we have also studied for so many years, this poem!" Naturally, I will memorize one or two songs! ”

At this time, the cavalry had already rushed to the position of the second battalion, and in the charge just now, only one platoon of guns was placed on the position, and the machine guns only rang out for a while and then did not go off. The little devil naturally would not let go of this golden opportunity, and rushed directly to the position of the second battalion.

But what the little devil never expected was that as soon as they rushed to the position, they would be suddenly besieged by three or four people, and these people were very usually two people with bayonets suddenly rushed up from both sides, regardless of the little devils, they stabbed directly at the war horse under the little devil's buttocks. And there were one or two people next to him, who were specially responsible for dealing with the little devils on the horse, and just like that, more than a hundred devil cavalry just rushed to the position of the second battalion, and more than half of them fell under the calculation of our soldiers. The trenches on the position, the craters are dense, and the speed advantage of the little devil cavalry cannot be brought into play at all, and they can only be surrounded and killed by the soldiers of the second battalion one by one, these guys will not talk about the spirit of bushido with the little devils, and they will use bayonets when they can get in, and shoot directly when they are far away, so with the advantage of numbers, more than 100 devil cavalry were all reimbursed in less than five minutes.

The small village that watched the battle behind him smashed the telescope angrily, "Bagaya Road!" This horde of hateful chinas! ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yoshiko Kawashima added fuel to the fire and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo is angry!" Cavalry units are really not suitable for positional warfare and siege warfare! In this case, let's go on the offensive [***]! ”

Kawashima Yoshiko's words made Komura Osa completely violent, Kawashima Yoshiko's words are tantamount to saying that their cavalry is useless, and now European countries have gradually begun to reduce cavalry units, and Ben is also affected by it, and there have been calls for the reduction of cavalry in the country. Yoshiko Kawashima's words just pierced the key point of Kawashima, and Omura Osa's face was blue and white for a while, and he glared at Kawashima Yoshiko and shouted loudly, "Yaga! Cavalry is the noblest and best class of troops in the world, and always will be! I'll show you how powerful our cavalry is! After saying that, the old devil glared at Yoshiko Kawashima, and then turned to leave.

Soon, under the organization of Komura Daisa, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Komura Cavalry Wing were assembled and discharged into an offensive formation.

Li Long couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the little devil's cavalry wing was finally dispatched, "Damn! Finally reluctant! Inform the troops and get ready for battle! ”

Omura Osa himself appeared in the charging ranks, raised the command knife in his hand, and shouted, "Warriors of the Empire! Let those stupid people see the power of our imperial cavalry, and the opportunity to make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor has come, take Guyuan City, and kill it! ”

More than 1,000 cavalrymen raised their shiny sabers in their hands, shouted loudly in their mouths, and urged their horses to charge. The war horses began to slowly accelerate, the earth began to tremble, and thousands of cavalry began to charge, raising dust in the sky, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, pressing towards Guyuan City.

"It's spectacular!" Li Long looked at the scene of the charging of the Yue army and couldn't help but admire, "Has the second battalion withdrawn?" ”

Chang Sheng nodded and said, "It has been withdrawn, and now it is all concentrated in the third line of defense, and the second regiment has also opened outside the city!" ”

Li Long nodded and said, "En! This time, let the little devils taste our awesomeness! ”

At this time, Li Long had already rushed outside the city in person and took over the command from Chen Zhenpeng, and Chen Zhenpeng naturally did not dare to have an opinion. He ran to a machine gun fortress and became a machine gunner.

"Pass the order! No one can shoot without my order, and those who violate the order will be subject to military law! Li Long once again gave a strict order. The psychological pressure brought by the cavalry charge was enormous, and Li Long was really afraid that some people would fail because they could not bear the psychological pressure, so he repeatedly stressed that no shots should be fired without orders, no shots should be fired at the main central position, and no shots should be fired at the flank positions.

The devil cavalry easily captured the second line of defense, but Omura Osa did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and ordered the troops to continue the attack, and the cavalry then rushed to the third line of defense. The distance between the two lines of defense was only 500 meters, and it only took a few tens of seconds for a cavalry charging at high speed to rush through.

"The enemy is three hundred meters away, do you shoot?" The observer shouted.

"Wait!" Li Long said indifferently.

"Two hundred meters away, the commander gives the order to shoot!"

"Two hundred meters!" Li Long estimated in his heart, "The little devils are too scattered, and their rear team has only entered the distance of five hundred you!" ”

"One hundred and fifty meters!"

"Fire!" Li Long decisively gave the order. At the speed of the cavalry charge, the distance of more than a hundred meters was reached in a blink of an eye.

With Li Long's order, hundreds of tongues of fire erupted from the central main position in an instant, and dense bullets rained down on the little devils who rushed up. At the same time, dozens and hundreds of tongues of fire also erupted from the positions on the two flanks, forming crossfire, constantly strangling the little devils who rushed up. For this battle, Li Long concentrated all the troops' hundreds of machine guns and more than 200 submachine guns on the forward position. With such powerful firepower, the fate of the cavalry was predictable.

At the same time, the artillery battalion, which had been participating in the battle, also joined the battle, and dozens of artillery pieces of various types (mainly small mortars) of the artillery battalion also rained shells into the predetermined area.

After the initial surprise, the artillery hurriedly began to suppress the artillery fire, but by the time the little devil locked on to our artillery position, the little devil's cavalry had already lost more than half.

Omura Osa knew that something was wrong the moment the gunshots rang out, but at this moment he was helpless, even if he gave the order to retreat, it would be too late, and it was not easy for the cavalry charging at high speed to stop.

Li Long sensed that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered, "Blow the trumpet!" Launch a counteroffensive on all fronts! ”

Immediately, a few trumpeters picked up the trumpet and blew it, and the loud horn of the charge resounded throughout Guyuan City, and the soldiers on the front line heard the sound of the horn of the charge, and immediately boosted their morale, and one by one they held the steel guns in their hands and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.

At this time, the cavalry wing had suffered heavy losses, and even the wing commander Yuo Omura was killed, and the army that had lost its command was in chaos. Kawashima Yoshiko looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face, he really couldn't imagine that the invincible Imperial Army had such a fragile time, more than half of the thousands of cavalry troops were strangled in an instant, and the remaining two or three hundred people were only able to flee in a hurry. Yoshiko Kawashima couldn't believe the facts in front of her, and stood there stunned and at a loss. (To be continued.) )
