Chapter 146: Full of Faith

"Ah...... Baga ...... Ah......h

Although the squadron leader did not fall to the ground in the end, as a veteran, he clearly felt that his thigh was hit by a grenade fragment.

The stinging sensation continued to hit the wound on the thigh, and large strands of hot blood continued to flow from the muzzle of the gun.

"Yaga, I've been shot!" The squadron leader shouted with a frown.

However, when he looked around, although the thick smoke blocked most of his vision, he could still vaguely see a dozen or so subordinates gone, planted on the ground around them with their horses.

"Fight back with grenades!" Heartbroken, the squadron leader shouted with thoughts of revenge.

He pulled out a grenade hanging from his waist, pulled the fire, and then threw it towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Seven or eight devils who reacted quickly also threw out their grenades.

However, Wang Ping's reaction speed was faster. When the devil threw the grenade, more grenades in the second round had been handsomely handed at the devil by the fighters.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded at the same time between the defense line of the Eighth Route Army and more than twenty Japanese cavalry.

More than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were blown over, and three others were directly blown out of the bunker, and they died with a whimper.

On the side of the Japanese cavalry, especially the leader of the devil squadron, this time it was not so lucky.

A grenade exploded directly above his head, and in the violent explosion, five or six pieces of hot shrapnel pierced directly into his body, although the squadron leader endured the pain all over his body and held the reins of his war horse. But the rapidly fading physical strength still made him fall to the ground.

This time, more than a dozen cavalrymen, including the squadron leader, were scared to death.

There were less than ten devils left who were completely shrouded in fear and at a loss.

Because, their squadron leader, squad leader, all died. And the thick smoke of gunpowder also blocked their vision, so that they couldn't see each other clearly.

This fear of the unknown, the most desperate.

Just when they were at a loss, Wang Ping had already sent a third grenade to them with anger.

Seven or eight devils, with faces full of fear, did not have time to react, and were killed directly in a string of explosions.

"Eight Grids, my first squadron!" The captain of the Japanese army who supervised the battle in the back instantly turned into an angry lion, and then scolded loudly.

The remaining two squadron leaders next to him couldn't help but gasp at this time.

Unexpectedly, an attack that seemed to be a victory in hand turned out to be in this situation.

More than 100 cavalrymen were wiped out without even rushing through the position of the Eighth Route Army.

After a short period of shock, the squadron leader of the second squadron analyzed with a calm face: "Your Excellency Captain, we all underestimated the enemy, I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to have such a strong will to fight, and I didn't expect them to be equipped with four machine guns. If we had prepared in advance, we would have been able to defeat them! ”

The squadron leader of the third squadron said: "A frontal assault and a roundabout flank can disperse the machine gun fire points of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"After the troops have reached a hundred meters in front of the formation, shoot them as much as possible with horse rifles!"

"After rushing to fifty meters, throw a grenade directly at the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, our warriors are riding on war horses, and they have a strong inertia advantage, and they can directly throw the grenade fifty meters away. But the Eighth Route Army, which was on the defensive line, could not do this. As long as we throw grenades in advance, the Eighth Route Army will only be passively beaten! ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, it is recommended to relaunch the offensive and avenge the death of the first squadron!"

The captain's face looked a lot better, his face sank, and he decisively decided: "The first squadron must be avenged." And His Excellency the General did not allow us to abandon the infantry and retreat on our own! ”

"Besides, the prestige of the cavalry unit of the Imperial Japanese Army cannot be buried in our hands!"

"The second squadron attacked head-on, and the first and second squads of the third squadron covered the attack on both flanks, dispersing the Eighth Route Army's blocking firepower. This time, I must take down the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, kill them all, and avenge the warriors of the First Squadron! ”

"Hey!" The two squadron leaders replied loudly, and their faces also showed very fanatical expressions.

Soon, nearly two hundred Japanese cavalry were ready for battle.

Wang Ping's side is also arranging combat missions.

Because the frontal width of the position was only more than 60 meters, except for the heavy machine guns and machine gunners hiding behind the bunkers, Wang Ping only arranged an infantry company here.

In the battle just now, although it ate a Japanese cavalry squadron with machine gun fire, this infantry company also suffered heavy losses. Two of the four machine guns were blown up by the grenades thrown by the devils, and more than 50 soldiers were killed by the devils with horse rifles and grenades, almost losing more than half of their soldiers.

"The fourth company was withdrawn as a reserve, and the fifth company was on it. This time, the devils will definitely concentrate all their main forces to attack our position, so the heavy machine guns we prepared for them will also participate in the battle. As long as they rushed to the front of the formation, all the heavy machine guns were set up and fired, so that the Japanese knew that their cavalry was not invincible in front of our independent regiment! After listening to Zhang Yunshan's report on the casualties of the Fourth Company, Wang Ping immediately made a decision.

Then he continued to add: "Not surprisingly, after this attack is over, there will definitely be many devils who will flee for their lives when they see that the situation is not good." Contact the chief of staff immediately to seal your mouth, this time I will wipe out the devil cavalry brigade! ”

"Finally, I would like to remind everyone that although heavy machine guns are the nemesis of cavalry, we cannot underestimate the enemy. After receiving the order to shoot, don't save my ammunition, all heavy machine gun fire must not be interrupted, unless the devil is completely wiped out or withdrawn from range! ”

At this time, everyone no longer doubted whether Wang Ping could completely annihilate the Japanese army on the flat bottom.

An infantry company reinforced with a machine gun can eat a cavalry squadron of the Japanese army, not to mention that the regiment commander still has more than a dozen heavy machine guns hidden in his hand, which is a fatal killer weapon against cavalry!

Therefore, after Wang Ping's order was issued, several subordinates did not say a word, and directly carried out the order with anticipation and fanatical expressions.

"Boom ......" Soon, the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Japanese army dispatched nearly 200 cavalry at once, there were less than 40 cavalry left behind to supervise the battle.

On the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, everyone cast a trace of admiration for Wang Ping.

Because, so far, the development of the entire battle has been inferred by Wang Ping.

"All of them, ready for battle, light and heavy machine guns, shoot in turn according to the predetermined battle plan!" When the Japanese army was still three or four hundred meters away, Wang Ping's face had already returned from excitement to seriousness before the battle, and then ordered with a majestic face.
