Chapter 147: Defeated

Three hundred meters, there is no movement on the line of defense of the independent regiment!

Two hundred meters, four machine guns fired. Two fired directly opposite to block the second squadron, and the other two fired on each flank of the defensive line to block the Japanese cavalry attacking on both flanks.

"Yo Xi, the blocking fire of the Eighth Route Army has been dispersed, warriors, continue to speed up, rush forward, and destroy them!" The squadron leader, who personally participated in the attack, shouted very arrogantly with a command knife.

In his understanding, although two machine guns can cause a lot of casualties to the attacking cavalry, these casualties are absolutely negligible for a cavalry squadron.

Therefore, the squadron leader did not pay attention to the two machine guns at all, commanded the troops, and rushed forward without hesitation.

The Japanese cavalry, which had a strong assault capability, did have arrogant capital.

In less than ten seconds, they had struck forward fifty meters, and they had lost only seven or eight cavalry.

Compared with the 1st Squadron, which had just been wiped out, the casualties were less than half.

Under these circumstances, the squadron leader was even more confident in this attack, and while continuing to rush forward, he drew out the horse rifle hanging on horseback, raised it with one hand, and prepared to shoot as soon as the troops rushed to a hundred meters in front of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Ping also began to give orders at this time: "Heavy machine gun preparation!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen heavy machine guns were lifted up and erected on bunkers that had long been stacked with sandbags.

Wang Ping did not hesitate, and continued to order: "Shoot, kill the little devil cavalry!" ”

The Japanese squadron leader was arrogant, but his eyes were always fixed on the Eighth Route Army on the defensive line. Because he has to adjust the way his troops attack and the time of shooting according to the distance of the next charge.

So, as soon as a dozen heavy machine guns were carried out by the Eighth Route Army, the squadron leader saw it.

Then my heart jumped, and my face instantly turned pale!

"Baga, we were fooled, the Eighth Route Army actually hid so many heavy machine guns!"

As a veteran cavalryman who has been in the army for seven or eight years, the squadron leader knows better than anyone what the cavalry is afraid of.

As Wang Ping said, on the Chinese battlefield, cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, but as long as the infantry is equipped with a sufficient number of light and heavy machine guns, the infantry can also become the nemesis of cavalry.

More than a dozen heavy machine guns appeared on the defense line of the Eighth Route Army at once, not to mention that he only had a squadron of cavalry, even if he had a cavalry brigade, he would only be slaughtered in front of so many heavy machine guns.

At this time, the squadron leader's first reaction subconsciously was to retreat, and then shouted with a face full of horror: "Retreat quickly, retreat back, the Eighth Route Army has heavy machine guns, it is impossible for us to rush over, retreat immediately!" ”

Before the words were finished, the sound of dense machine-gun fire reached the ears ......of the squadron leader.

A picture of despair also appeared in front of him.

More than a dozen thick and scorching tongues of fire are like death scythes, quickly reaping the lives of his subordinates.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 cavalry warriors were beaten into a hornet's nest, and they fell down on the charging road with men and horses.

"Retreat, retreat!" The heartbroken squadron leader shouted.

More than a dozen heavy machine guns strafed together, and the dense bullets formed a storm of steel directly in front of them.

In this case, it was difficult for more than 100 cavalrymen to push forward even further, not to mention the position of the independent regiment.

Therefore, as long as there are still devils alive on the battlefield, they don't need to be reminded by the squadron leader to know that if they continue to attack, they will be sent to death.

So, they turned their horses around and tried to retreat.

But the problem arose, their current charge speed had reached the extreme, and if they wanted to turn around in this case, they would have to make a big circle in front of the position of the independent regiment.

However, under the strafing fire of so many heavy machine guns, several cavalry were killed for every second of delay on the battlefield, and when they made a large circle in front of the formation and could retreat, the already small cavalry would definitely lose many people.

But if they don't, they will be killed here and wiped out.

At this moment, the devils who were still alive made the decision to retreat, and then began to retreat in the face of bullets fired from heavy machine guns.

When they finally turned around on the battlefield and prepared to retreat, nearly 200 cavalrymen were already dead and wounded, and there were less than 80 people left.

The heavy casualties have cast a layer of invisibility on the faces of every devil alive, but their doom is not over.

At this time, they were still one hundred and fifty meters in front of the formation, and not only heavy machine guns, but also light machine guns could easily kill them. As long as they don't leave the range of the heavy machine gun for a second, the whistling bullets can knock them into a hornet's nest.

"Retreat, hurry up, don't stop!" The squadron leader, who was not killed, shouted in great anxiety.

More than seventy devils don't want to die here, and they keep urging the war horse under their crotch, wanting to leave here as soon as possible.

More than 100 meters away from the position of the Independent Regiment, everyone was shocked by the powerful power of more than a dozen heavy machine guns firing together.

The Japanese cavalry, which was invincible in peacetime, was crushed by heavy machine gun strikes.

Seeing that the Japanese army wanted to retreat, of course everyone didn't want them to leave like this.

"Comrade, shoot over there, there are a few devil cavalry there, we must not let them escape!" The rifleman next to a heavy machine gun saw that the devil had escaped from the rifle's range and directly became an observer. Seeing several devils gathered together and fleeing for their lives, he immediately beckoned the heavy machine gunner to shoot.

"Don't worry, the effective range of the heavy machine gun is more than 500 meters, and none of these devils can escape!" The Heavy said with confidence, then turned his gun and swept it towards them.

......A string of machine gun bullets swept over, and a total of five devils were killed after only fleeing twenty or thirty meters back.

"Over there, there are three devil cavalry over there!" The observer next to him pointed in the other direction, and the three devil cavalry beckoned.

The heavy machine gunners lived up to their expectations, and a shuttle of bullets passed them, killing them in an instant on the way to retreat.

Amid the dense machine-gun fire, the more excited the independent regiment became, and its morale became higher and higher.

The little devils who can't form an army are constantly attribution. The cavalry soldiers who were still alive, everyone had a desperate expression, and then kept urging the war horses under their crotches to speed up, praying that the bullets flying around them would not hit them.

The face of the captain of the cavalry brigade who supervised the battle behind him was like a changing weather, and it changed several times in just a few seconds.

From the initial excitement to shock, then from shock to now despair.

These days in the field, I guarantee two updates a day, and I will resume normal updates after three days, thank you for your support!
