Chapter 148: Kill Them
Seeing that the troops had finally begun to retreat, a flash of life quickly flashed on the captain's desperate face, and then he shouted loudly.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
The deputy captain next to him immediately reminded: "Captain, the heavy machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too powerful, even if they retreat, there won't be many people left!" ”
"This is obviously a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, and they definitely want to annihilate us all here. Your Excellency, Captain, I suggest that we retreat at once and get out of here. Since this is the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, then they must still have a backhand, maybe now the Eighth Route Army has detoured back behind us and blocked our back road! The leader of the third squadron analyzed with a calm face.
The captain staring at the battlefield did not speak, but the deputy captain was anxious.
"The back road is blocked, and the Eighth Route Army has so many heavy machine guns, then our cavalry brigade will definitely be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, and the whole army will be wiped out here."
These four words were like a thunderclap, which directly woke up the captain.
If the cavalry brigade is completely destroyed in his own hands, as the captain of the brigade, he will become the laughing stock of his colleagues and will also become a disgrace to the empire.
And with this, his military career will also leave a stain that can never be cleaned up. At that time, because of the existence of this stain, he may never be promoted, and he will even be sent to a military court by his superiors.
"No, the cavalry brigade must not be wiped out in my hands!" The captain clenched his fists and swore.
Then he ordered the few remaining subordinates around him: "Ignore the retreating troops for now, we will retreat directly." If there is really an Eighth Route Army blocking our retreat, it will be just right to defeat them! ”
More than 30 cavalrymen crowded around the captain, directly urging the war horses under their crotch to retreat in the direction of the county seat.
Wang Ping, who was also concerned about the entire battlefield, immediately sneered: "I only know now that I know that it is too late to retreat!" ”
"Comrades, increase the output of firepower and eat the devil attack troops as much as possible!"
"Also, send a signal to the chief of staff that a devil has rushed towards him, so that he is ready to meet the enemy."
Zeng Quan had only one company drawn from the 3rd Battalion, but this company was equipped with a full six Czech-made guns.
Zeng Quan, when the more than 30 cavalrymen were still five or six hundred meters away, saw them, and then ordered the third battalion to prepare for battle.
The captain of the Japanese army, who was surrounded by his subordinates, also saw the figure of the Eighth Route Army a few hundred meters away, and shouted with a frown.
"Warriors, speed up the assault, there is the Eighth Route Army in front, but there is no blocking position. As long as our assault speed is fast enough, the Eighth Route Army will definitely not be able to stop us, kill us! ”
More than 30 cavalrymen raised their spears and raised their swords, and rushed forward with a roar.
"Comrades, the devils are coming, all ready for battle!" Zeng Quan, who personally lifted a 38 cover, also gave the battle order.
"Chief of Staff, the devil has rushed three hundred meters away!" The guard beside Zeng Quan reminded with a serious face.
"Keep staring, remind me again at two hundred meters!" Zeng Quanquan commanded with his rifle in hand.
Soon, the guard's excited and serious voice reached his ears: "Chief of Staff, the devil has rushed to two hundred meters." ”
"Snap ......" Zeng Quan did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and as soon as the crisp sound of gunfire rang out in the chamber of the gun, a devil cavalryman fell down on the charging road with men and horses.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the six Czech-made guns erected on the slopes on both sides of the road were condescending and opened fire quickly.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army has a machine gun, everyone speed up and rush over!" As soon as the machine-gun fire rang out, the squadron leader realized that something was wrong and shouted loudly.
The reaction speed of more than thirty cavalrymen was very fast, and they kept kicking the war horse in the stomach with their heels, urging the war horse under the crotch to speed up.
However, the speed of the bullets was faster, and the moment the machine guns fired, six cavalrymen fell to the ground.
The devils gathered together were as if they had been stripped of their clothes, and they were suddenly a lot less.
The devil who was galloping on the highway did not stop, and continued to urge the war horse to rush forward.
The bullets fired from six machine guns and more than a hundred rifles all whizzed towards them, and along the entire assault road, one of the dozens of cavalry rushed forward for every few meters and fell on the charging road, and then was trampled into flesh by the cavalry following behind.
When they rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the position of the third battalion, there were no more than fifteen cavalrymen around the captain.
At this time, the devils who were still alive, including the captain, all had a desperate expression on their faces.
However, the captain did not give the order to retreat, and they had always been trained in the spirit of bushido, believing that only by dying in the way of a samurai would their souls be protected by Amaterasu.
As a result, the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers all had a farewell expression on their faces.
After firing a round of bullets at the machine gun position of the Eighth Route Army with a horse rifle, he easily inserted the horse rifle into the holster, then drew the sabre, raised it high, and continued to rush forward with the captain in his arms, with a fierce posture of not fearing death!
"Keep shooting, don't stop the machine guns, eat them!" Zeng Quan continued to order with a serious face.
But from his tone, Yan Song beside him could clearly feel Zeng Quan's excitement.
As long as the dozens of Japanese troops in front of him are eaten, there will be no more surprises for the independent regiment to completely annihilate the Japanese cavalry brigade.
Although since the beginning of the war, many Japanese troops have died at the hands of the squadron. But an infantry brigade was wiped out as a formation and the whole army was annihilated, which was certainly not the case, at least not in the Eighth Route Army.
Once the independent regiment reports this result to the headquarters, it will definitely shock the head of the headquarters.
Of course, because the results of the battle have not yet been counted, when the troops complete the statistics, Zeng Quan will find that in this battle, the independent regiment not only annihilated a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army, but also annihilated an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, creating a miracle again!
"Keep shooting, don't stop!" As there were fewer and fewer devils, Zeng Quan finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and then continued to order with a face full of fanaticism.
The captain who held his saber high did not manage to break through the defense line of the third battalion in the end.
Three machine guns stared at him at the same time, and not only was his body hit by five or six bloody holes, but the war horse under his crotch was also hit by several bullets. Then with a face full of unwillingness, he fell heavily on the road!
"Win, we won, we wiped out a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army!" Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, was the first to shout excitedly.
Soon, this cry of excitement sounded throughout the position.
Everyone in the third battalion stood up from behind cover, raised their weapons and let out all sorts of cheers.
What's more, some machine gunners directly operate machine guns and shoot into the sky, venting their inner excitement in this wild way.
It took ten minutes for the lively atmosphere on the battlefield to subside.
