Chapter 423: Iron Defender (First Update!) )

Seeing the last unit escorting a batch of ammunition out of Taiyuan City, Wang Ping didn't have much smile on his face.

For these captures, the price paid by the entire Eighth Route Army was too great.

Wang Ping, a distant unit, did not know, but he knew very well the losses of the independent brigade and the guard regiment.

Not to mention the loss of combat effectiveness, it is certainly not an exaggeration to describe it with the four words of broken muscles and bones.

What's more, Wang Ping knows the Japanese very well. I caught the Japanese by surprise and took such a big advantage from the Japanese. With the character of the Japanese, after the battle, they will definitely gather heavy troops to retaliate.

And the Eighth Route Army had just experienced this bloody battle, and the troops suffered heavy losses. Immediately after the retaliatory sweep of the devils, when the time comes, the casualties of the troops will definitely increase significantly.

This is not counting the huge casualties that the devil sweep will definitely bring to the base area.

"Lao Wang, the last transport force has retreated. Before the devils in the city can react, it's time for us to retreat! ”

"Then retreat!" Wang Ping didn't talk nonsense, and ordered directly!

"Where's this tank! You used one to attack Taiyuan City, what should I do if there is one left? Cheng Xiao asked, pointing to a thin-skinned tank behind him that captured the devil at the airport.

"Exploded!" Wang Pingyi gritted his teeth and replied.

"It's definitely unrealistic to bring it back, but you can't just give it to the little devil, you can only blow it up!"

Although Cheng Xiao was very heartbroken, he still replied quickly: "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to blow it up immediately!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the communications platoon commander rushed over: "Chief, the headquarters is in an emergency!" ”

"The Japanese reinforcements from southwest Shanxi are about to arrive, a total of two cavalry wings, a mechanized infantry brigade, and more than 3,000 devils!"

In the field, when the infantry meets the cavalry, there is only the fate of being slaughtered, which is the idea that subconsciously appears in the minds of many commanders.

Therefore, as soon as the communication platoon leader finished speaking, Cheng Xiao's face turned pale with a brush.

Then he said with a firm face: "Old Wang, you must find a way to block the devil cavalry!" ”

"The cavalry is too fast, and the fighting power is strong. As soon as they catch up with our transport troops, it will be a disaster for the transport troops! ”

"But we only have a company of troops here, and the devil cavalry alone has more than 2,000 people, with strong combat effectiveness and strong assault capabilities, how can we stop them. If we really want to fight a positional battle, maybe in less than ten minutes we will be wiped out! Chief of Staff Yang Xiong's face was also pale, and then he raised the most realistic question in front of Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao!

At this time, Wang Ping spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he was amazing.

"It's not impossible! Lao Cheng, let the soldiers not blow up the tank first. The infantry has no power to fight back in front of the cavalry, and the cavalry has no ability to fight back in front of the tank, so let's use the tank to rub the sharpness of the devil's chaser! ”

"Lao Cheng, have you taken all the anti-aircraft machine guns captured from Taiyuan airfield?"

"The guard company left three, and each anti-aircraft machine gun left five hundred rounds of ammunition!" Cheng Xiao didn't know why Wang Ping suddenly pulled the heavy machine gun again, although he frowned, he still replied very quickly.

"Okay, with anti-aircraft machine guns, plus light machine guns equipped by the guard company, it's even more okay to clean up the devil cavalry!" The confident expression on Wang Ping's face became even stronger.

After glancing at the flat terrain in front of him, he quickly made a decision: "Just wait here for the devils to chase the soldiers, hit them!" ”

Cheng Xiao almost couldn't believe his ears, and asked with an incredulous expression: "Lao Wang, are you not mistaken?" ”

Chief of Staff Yang Xiong was also shocked, and looked at Wang Ping with a speechless expression.

Wang Ping nodded in affirmation: "Here it is!" Don't look at the flat terrain here, which is very suitable for large-scale cavalry charges. Similarly, the flat terrain is suitable for us to use all our firepower, especially the fire of tanks and three anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

"Tonight I will defeat them where the devil cavalry thinks they will win, and beat them to the ground. Even if they continue to pursue us, they won't dare to chase us so close! "More than 3,000 devils arrived in Taiyuan City, but did not enter the city, but pursued in the direction of the retreat of the Eighth Route Army.

The cavalry who was at the forefront of the "Boom ......" had just chased less than 500 meters when two violent explosions sounded on the road.

Fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose into the air, and the devils who were running wildly on the highway fell down several times at once, and instantly fell into pulp.

"Yaga, it's a landmine! There is the Eighth Route Army ahead! "The captain of the devil wing who attacked with the team immediately received the news.

Under the moonlight, the wing commander faintly saw that there was the Eighth Route Army blocking in front of him four or five hundred meters ahead.

I didn't dig trenches, I didn't pile bunkers with sandbags, I just lay on the ground, with a gun in my hand, and I was in a posture to block myself!

"Is the Eighth Route Army crazy? Is it because their commanders have a problem with their brains or am I mistaken, they actually want to stop us with the infantry without a position! The co-captain was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and asked with an incredulous expression.

"Destroy them and give the Eighth Route Army some color!" The eyes of the vice-captain next to him quickly shot out two very fanatical glances, and then he clenched the saber hanging from his waist and proposed.

"It's time to teach them a lesson! The imperial army did not attack them, swept their base areas, and they dared to take the initiative to attack the imperial army, which was too self-defeating! After the shock, the captain of the devil co-captain replied as a matter of course.

Then he began to give orders: "Dispatch two cavalry squadrons, you personally command, kill them, and destroy these inadequate Eighth Route Army." ”

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

Nearly 300 cavalrymen, wielding sabers, were like a sharp blade, killing the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, Wang Ping moved.

Start the tank quickly, then drive the tank forward against the devils.

When there were still three hundred meters away from the devil cavalry, two vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns opened fire quickly.

The devil cavalry who rushed to the front was caught off guard, and several people were killed at once.

The rest of the devil cavalry was frightened, and immediately lay on the back of the horse, as close to the horse's back as possible, reducing their body exposure to the guns of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the power of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun is not comparable to that of ordinary machine guns.

After there were no devils to shoot, two heavy machine guns were fired directly at the war horse.

Despite the rough skin and thick flesh of the horses, the scorching heavy machine gun bullets still easily burrowed holes in their bodies.

As a result, there were constantly war horses planted on the offensive road, and together with the corpses on horseback, they were instantly trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind.

After losing dozens of cavalry in a row, the devil's deputy captain finally realized that something was wrong, and his eyes widened, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.
