As more and more of the awoke infantry joined in the firing, the casualties of the charging Japanese cavalry began to increase, and from time to time someone fell to the ground from a horse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And those Japanese cavalrymen who were shot and fell off their horses had a very small chance of surviving. The horses that rushed up from behind, in the case of running at high speed, had no way to dodge these fallen cavalry, so they could only step over.

Some of the cavalrymen who fell to the ground with a relatively quick reaction could not escape the constant galloping hooves of horses, even if they were able to avoid the trampling of a horse by rolling. Keeping a complete body is a good place for these invaders.

"Shoot at the horse, shoot at the horse." Lu Xiangyang noticed that most of the soldiers were shooting at the Japanese soldiers on horseback, and shouted loudly to remind them.

These mountain infantrymen have been fighting guerrillas in the mountains of Afghanistan, and their enemies are clones of "anti-American militants" who operate AK series assault rifles. For them, attacking the person who operates the weapon is already an instinctive reaction.

But Lu Xiangyang is different, in his early years, when he served in a certain border defense unit in Tibetan areas, he was a cavalryman. After retiring, he worked as a mounted police officer in the Sichuan-Tibet Mountains for ten years. He knew that it was more effective to shoot at the horses than at the cavalry on horseback, against the cavalry who drew their sabers and charged.

Horses are much larger than people and are more likely to be hit. Horses that fall to the ground are more likely to trip over horses that rush up from behind, while people who fall to the ground are easily trampled by charging horses.

The soldiers who heard Lu Xiangyang's shout quickly changed the target of shooting. The change paid off immediately.

More horses get shot, and larger size means more chance of being shot. After the cavalry was hit and fell, the horses could still follow the charge. When the horse is shot, not only does it throw the rider off the setup, but the horse that falls in the charging formation will hinder the horses running at high speed behind them.

The speed of the Japanese cavalry charge was noticeably reduced, as the horses in front of them were shot and fell to the ground. The cavalry behind had to control their mounts to jump over or dodge; The momentum of the whole charge was stagnant.

But this alone was not enough, and after this group of cavalry charged, more cavalry poured out on the road blocked by the woods to the north. If the cavalry after them also charged, the continuous tide of cavalry would drown out the men of their two platoons.

"Draw out two M240 machine guns and arrange them on the two flanks fifty meters behind us, and if you want to hurry, we will withdraw to the woods over there." Lu Xiangyang pulled a platoon commander over, put his mouth close to his ear, and shouted loudly.

At this time, the mountain infantry rushed to the battle, although the machine guns and assault rifles fired at the same time, and it seemed that the fight was lively, but in fact, the firepower at this time was not maximized.

At this time, the direction of fire of the mountain infantry and the enemy were on the same axis, and the effectiveness of cross-fire could be maximized only if the direction of fire was as perpendicular to the enemy as possible. And the placement of machine guns on the wings was intended to achieve this effect.

Lu Xiangyang also paid attention to arranging two machine guns on both flanks to cover the retreat of the troops. This machine-gun cover may not be as haphazard as it is in many dramas. Machine gun cover, machine guns had to be arranged on both wings. In this way, the machine gun will fire cross-fire at the enemy in front of it. The firing lines of the machine guns on both wings and the combatants between the machine guns formed a triangle.

When the machine guns are firing for cover, the combatants move within the angle formed by the firing lines of the machine guns on both sides, and do not enter the fire channel of the machine guns, so as to avoid accidental injury by their own machine guns. This is true both in the offensive and in the retreat.

Like a divine drama, just find a place to set up a machine gun to make a sudden attack, and the people killed by yourself are not necessarily fewer than the enemies killed.

"See the woods behind us, you take those two 60mm mortars to the forest line and set up a run. As we retreated, we carried out interdiction shelling towards the turn of the road to the north. Cover our retreat into the woods. Lu Xiangyang arranged the position of the mortar again.

When retreating, in addition to arranging covering fire from machine guns on both flanks, interdicting artillery shelling was arranged with curved weapons on the roads necessary for the enemy's pursuit. After preventing the withdrawal of fighters, the gap in fire left behind was exploited by the enemy.

In the American drama "Band of Brothers", Lieutenant Winster led E Company to attack the German SS at night, and it was on his way to retreat that he arranged 60mm mortars to intercept the German army. After they finished firing the black guns, the 60 mortars fired in succession, and Winster and they retreated.

After the two M240 machine guns that had retreated first and then were erected on the two wings of the rear, Lu Xiangyang ordered his soldiers to begin to retreat to the woods to the west in an orderly manner.

First the wounded and stretcher-carrying soldiers went first, then the infantry with assault rifles, and the last to evacuate were machine gunners. When they reached the same line as the machine guns that had been covering the two flanks behind them, they stopped and continued firing at the enemy who was pursuing them.

And the machine gunners who were the last to retreat just now did not stop here with them, but continued to retreat behind them, setting up machine guns on both flanks. Then he repeats what he had just done, only to disengage from the enemy.

The casualties of the Japanese cavalry rose sharply after machine gun fire on both flanks of the mountain infantry. The Japanese commander Koike Shunichi Nakasa was amazed at the number of repeating weapons available to the enemy on the opposite side, and he threw two squadrons of cavalry into the charge at once, but not a single horse rushed in front of them.

Soon Shunichi Koike noticed through the monocular that the enemy on the opposite side was retreating, and he was overjoyed. Judging from the experience of the First Army of the Japanese Army in the battle with the Qing army in Korea, once the Chinese army retreated, a rout would begin.

In just one face-to-face engagement, he arranged for a cavalry squadron to rush to the front to be killed or wounded, and forced the subsequent cavalry squadron to regroup. This small group of enemies should be the most elite troops of the Qing army, annihilating all these people and capturing those small and powerful burst weapons in their hands. He seems to have seen the scene of his promotion to Dazuo after this battle.

However, his imaginary scene of the enemy being routed and then pursued by his own cavalry did not appear. The Huaxia army on the opposite side retreated in an orderly manner, they did not rush to flee for their lives, they covered each other and retreated to the woods behind them in an orderly manner. Compared with the disastrous retreat of the Qing army in Pyongyang, they were so calm and calm.

Who are they? Koike felt that the small force opposite him far surpassed the Japanese Guards Division, which he remembered as the most elite army in Asia, in terms of weapons, tactics, and discipline. Why didn't the spies of the empire mention such an army. Strange attire, sharp weapons, how many more of them are there? Are they the army of the North Seas? Or was it the troops sent by the Emperor of China to reinforce Lushun? What is the purpose of their sudden appearance here? His mind was full of questions.

This group of enemies could not be allowed to retreat into the woods, and by entering the woods they could escape the pursuit of the cavalry. Their existence is a threat to the Imperial Army's plans to seize the Liaodong Peninsula.

However, the charging cavalry was already showing signs of rout after more than half of the casualties under the frenzied fire of this mysterious Chinese army's powerful burst of weapons, and this Chinese army was about to retreat to the edge of the woods.

When the mountain troops had machine guns on both flanks of the ranks, the cross-fire of the M240 and M249 machine guns formed a network of fire coverage. A barrage of metal barrage swept in, and the charging cavalry and horses seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, never being able to get close to them.

Some of the cavalrymen had stopped holding their sabers high and had turned to firing at the mountain infantrymen with their equipped Murata 14 rifles.

This is not a good sign, Koike thought to himself. Not to mention that this one-shot, one-shot mounted rifle has no advantage against the enemy's burst-of-fire weapons that pour down ammunition like water. As far as the cavalry put down their sabers and raised their rifles to shoot at the grinders, this act itself showed that the cavalry was about to be routed, and they felt that they could not rush through.

The cavalry of the Japanese army was influenced by the tactical tactics of Akiyama Yoshiko, the "cavalry pioneer", and the mainstream cavalry of Europe at that time did not follow the same tactics.

Due to the invention and application of smokeless gunpowder, the range and power of rifles have been greatly improved. At this time, the cavalry in Europe was already "dragoons", and its tactical idea was: cavalry was a rifleman on horseback, and he dismounted and used a rifle to participate in the battle during the battle.

This was not the case with the Japanese cavalry, and the drill code of the Japanese cavalry unit during this period clearly pointed out that "cavalry mainly fought on horseback, and fought on foot as a means of auxiliary combat."

Even in the Russo-Japanese War many years later, the Japanese cavalry still charged with sabers, taking advantage of the high mobility of horses to frequently attack the flanks and rear flanks of Russian infantry and artillery. It can also be regarded as a ruthless character who dares to fight the famous Cossack cavalry without falling behind.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry actually played the "dragoon" tactics of the European cavalry, apparently to frighten the mountain infantry's automatic weapons, and they were afraid to charge.

Koike Shunichi also saw the thoughts of those cavalrymen, and was ruthless, gritting his teeth and giving an order: let the cavalry of a squadron, as a reserve force, charge from the rear. Since you have the intention of retreating, then I will abandon your thoughts and force you forward with a troop of cavalry. This Koike Shunichi also made a dead hand.

But Koike Shunichi was only an old-time cavalry commander after all, and the group of traversers on the other side had too many tactics and weapons that he had not seen. This time, he poured all his big bets into a doomed failure.

The reserve cavalry squadron, which received an order from Shunichi Koike, immediately formed a formation, turned the bend in the road, and prepared to charge.

At this time, two 60-mm mortars, which were already ready to fire on the edge of the woods to the west, immediately opened fire on this cavalry assembly area.

The forest line in the woods to the west was about six hundred meters in a straight line from this cavalry assembly area, and an experienced mortar sighter could confidently control the landing point of the shells at this distance. Sure enough, the first test-fired shell smashed into the horse team.

Both 60 mortars did not need to be corrected, and immediately came a burst of fire. The squadron of cavalry, which was gathering its entire ranks, was immediately crippled.

The remnants of the cavalry who were halfway through the original charge island saw that the rear reserves were blown to pieces, and they lost the heart to charge, and they all retreated together.

These cavalrymen, who rushed halfway, had not seen a curved artillery. It is taken for granted that since there is no enemy artillery in front of him, and his rear is not shelled, it is obvious that he has been copied from the back. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, since you can't rush in front, let's break through to the back, at least rush back in the direction of your own large army.

How did they know that the mortar, a curved artillery, was a straddle of the mountain troops' own infantry and their cavalry, and directly attacked the cavalry squadron that was forming behind them.

The cavalry squadron, which was originally going to support, was completely stunned by this sudden artillery bombardment. The people killed and injured by the explosion and the horses lay on the ground, the frightened horses scurried around, and this road, which was not open, was immediately blocked.

The retreating cavalry and the cavalry that had just been shelled were huddled together at this corner. Seeing this, Lu Xiangyang immediately asked the two 60 mortars to fire all the remaining shells at the fastest speed.

This kind of door-to-door gift, if you don't accept it happily, it will ruin your character.
