Chapter 331: Ants gnaw on elephants
Two hours ago.
"Captain, cavalry!"
"The devil cavalry is coming!"
Wei Xilai, who was raising his gun to aim, shouted.
I saw about a hundred ghost cavalry, two horizontal formations in front and back on the loess plain, and launched an overwhelming charge to this side, and the momentum was still extremely intimidating.
More than 100 cavalrymen were stunned to run out of the momentum of thousands of troops.
Even a battlefield veteran like Wang Ye was also a little shaken.
Recruits like Duan Peng and Lin Han, who had not been trained in the battle formation, turned pale.
Although the devil cavalry was still at least two kilometers away, Wang Ye did not support it, after all, their wolf squadron now had a lot of new members.
"The sniper team stays!"
"The other teams are evacuated immediately."
Wang Ye gave an order, Wei Dayong, Duan Peng and others got up and ran.
As Wang Ye expected, as soon as there was movement on the wolf warrior's side, the devil soldiers six hundred meters away on the opposite side reacted, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to hunt them in turn.
happened to be caught by Wang Ye and the sniper team.
"Horn hook! Horn hook! A few crisp gunshots rang out.
Six hundred meters ahead, two devils who had just emerged from the ravine were shot in the head and killed on the spot.
The last few remaining devil soldiers were completely frightened, and they shrank in a few small dirt ditches and never dared to show their heads again.
"Sniper group, withdraw!" Wang Ye turned over and jumped up, and withdrew with several snipers from the sniper team, and this time the devil soldiers on the opposite side did not move.
……
As soon as the cavalry rushed, it was basically difficult to hold it back.
Especially the devil cavalry, who thinks that he is the "chosen son", is easier to get up.
The sound of the horse's hooves like a drum seemed to hit the heart of the cavalry directly, and it could make the blood of the devil cavalry boil in an instant.
Looking around, I saw iron hooves churning, and hundreds of horsemen competing for the lead.
Matsuura Fanyoshi instantly stepped up and threw Shibuya Ichiro's advice out of the clouds.
"Khooth!" With the clear groan of metal rubbing, Matsuura Fanyoshi drew his saber with his backhand.
"Khooth! Sonor! Sonor! More than 2,130 horsemen in front and behind also drew their sabers.
Matsuura Panyoshi pressed the saber in his hand flat forward, and the tip of the knife pointed straight ahead, pointing at the Chinese soldiers who were running fast on the Loess Plain.
"Onboard!"
"Onboard!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"
"Great Japanese Empire onboard!"
The devil cavalry opened their throats and roared.
More than a hundred sabers were also pointed forward.
The next moment, all the devils stood upright from their horses and began to sprint at great speed.
The wind on the loess plain mixed with the loess whirring poured into the mouth and nose, and the ground under his feet retreated like a tide, but the eyes of Matsuura Fanji and more than a hundred devil cavalry were locked on the Chinese soldiers in front.
In their eyes, this is not a soldier.
And just the prey.
……
"Woohoo!"
Sun Desheng gently rubbed his flaming red mane, trying to keep it quiet.
Since Blaze was tamed by Wang Ye, his aggressiveness has become no longer as strong as before, and a few people like Sun Desheng can touch or even touch it.
But now, the flames seemed to sense something.
It is said that war horses are psychic, and war horses with spirituality can really communicate with their owners.
Obviously, Blaze had already felt the breath of the great battle through Wang Ye, so he suddenly became excited, and almost broke free from Sun Desheng's control several times.
Rubbing his mane for a long time, he finally calmed down.
As soon as Sun Desheng breathed a sigh of relief, the lookout post left on the original shouted: "Devil cavalry! ”
"Wow!" Blaze immediately hissed with his head raised, and then rushed forward violently, instantly breaking free from Sun Desheng's control and rushing to the ramp.
"It's all there, get on the horse!"
Sun Desheng hurriedly turned over and stepped onto his war horse.
Behind Sun Desheng, more than 300 cavalry soldiers also stepped on their horses.
Sun Desheng waved his hand again, and more than 300 horsemen immediately poured into the ramp like a tide and came to the plain.
They hid in a ravine that stretched across the plains, with a ramp leading to the loess plains.
Sun Desheng took the lead, the first to follow the ramp to the loess plain, the vision in front of him suddenly opened, and the flat and desolate loess stretched endlessly from under his feet in all directions.
Looking up again, the first thing that catches my eye is the figure of the flames.
The flames, literally, had turned into a flaming flame and rolled forward.
Ahead, Wang Ye was galloping over with more than a dozen members of the Wolf Warrior Squadron.
Behind Wang Ye and more than a dozen wolf warriors were the black devil cavalry.
More than a hundred devil cavalry, lined up in two horizontal formations in front and back, were sweeping towards this side.
Seeing the surging devil cavalry, the blood in Sun Desheng's veins boiled suddenly, and he immediately pulled out his saber from his waist and pointed at the front with the tip of the knife.
Behind Sun Desheng, more than 300 horsemen also drew their sabers.
Cavalry hedges, horse rifles are not as good as sabers, this is a lesson learned from countless blood and tears.
"Cavalry company, attack!" With Sun Desheng's long howl, more than 300 cavalry companies of three cavalry companies rushed towards the front like a flood that had broken the embankment.
……
The flames were like a red bolt of lightning, shooting towards Wang Ye at a rapid pace.
However, when there were still dozens of meters away from Wang Ye, the flames consciously slowed down, and the moment the people and horses staggered by, Wang Ye stretched out his hand to grab the front bridge of the saddle, and the whole person was immediately swept up by the flames.
When he reached the air, Wang Ye turned over lightly, and when he fell again, he rode steadily on the back of the flames.
Flame Ang let out a long hiss of joy, as if he was asking Wang Ye for credit: Master, I did a good job, right?
Wang Ye patted the neck of the flame lightly, signaling it not to run too fast, waiting for other cavalry, Wang Ye didn't want to face hundreds of devil cavalry alone.
This is in public, and he doesn't want to act too perverted.
Looking back again, I saw that Wei Dayong, Wang Xikui and other more than a dozen team members had also stepped on the war horses and gathered in the queue of the cavalry company, Lu Changsheng and Duan Peng and several other new team members did not participate in the battle, Lu Changsheng did not have a war horse suitable for him to ride, Duan Peng and several of them had not yet learned equestrianism.
……
Matsuura Panyoshi also saw the flames.
Not only Matsuura Fanji, but also the more than 100 devil cavalry behind him recognized at a glance, this is the war horse "Yan" of their brigade commander Kojima Yoshizo!
"Despicable Chinan."
"Not worthy of riding a noble imperial horse."
Matsuura Panyoshi roared angrily, urging the war horse under his crotch to launch a final charge.
In the blink of an eye, the two cavalry had collided violently, and Matsuura felt the sabre stretched out horizontally sink sharply, but it quickly became lighter again.
Years of experience in the battlefield have taught him,
In the blink of an eye, he had already killed a Chinese cavalryman.
The cavalry of both sides staggered past, and the eyes suddenly opened up, and the Matsuura Panjilema slowed down and then turned around.
At the same time as the horse turned, Matsuura Panji looked around, only to see that there were less than fifty cavalry who could still follow him at this time, and seeing this, Matsuura Panyoshi couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
Just one hedge, and half of the cavalry was lost?
It seems that the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side really cannot be underestimated.
……
Wang Ye reins in the horse and turns.
When I looked around again, I saw that the cavalry queue behind me was obviously much thinner.
According to a rough estimate, the wave of cavalry just now suffered at least hundreds of casualties.
Looking up at the devil cavalry on the opposite side, there were about fifty casualties, and it was obvious that the wave of cavalry hedging just now was a loss to the Eighth Route Army.
"Fuck."
"This group of devil cavalry is so powerful!"
"It seems to be a little more powerful than the Black Island United team we played against before."
Speaking of this, Sun Desheng also spat at the devil cavalry in front of him.
"This is inevitable, this group of devil cavalry was transferred from Suiyuan and has been fighting against the Mongolian cavalry."
"Even if it's just a herd of pigs, after four years of fighting against the Mongol cavalry, they will become a good cavalry, provided they survive, of course."
Wang Ye is also apprehensive at the moment.
Thanks to the fact that they chose an excellent terrain at that time, they did not let the devil's cavalry Fourth Brigade give full play to the advantages of cavalry, otherwise they would have to suffer a big loss.
The devil cavalry on the opposite side soon charged again.
Wang Ye lightly urged the flames and took the lead in facing the devil cavalry.
Sun Desheng hurriedly urged the war horse to catch up with Wang Ye, and said with a dark face: "That squadron leader, it's mine." ”
"You still have a face to say?" Wang Ye said suddenly, "I already let you go back just now, why didn't you see you hacking him?" This time it was my turn. ”
"Just careless."
Sun Desheng blushed slightly.
It wasn't careless at all just now, but a slash.
The combat experience of that devil squadron is unexpectedly rich.
"This time, everyone depends on their ability, and whoever grabs it will be whoever." After Wang Ye finished speaking, he urged the horse to accelerate and rush forward.
Sun Desheng hurriedly urged the war horse to chase forward, but the war horses of the two were not at the same level at all, and they were quickly thrown away by Wang Ye several meters away.
In the blink of an eye, the two cavalry forces collided again.
Wang Ye neither yelled nor made a chopping motion, but just stretched out the saber flat.
The movement of the devil squadron leader on the opposite side was almost the same as his, and he also stretched out his saber straight to the side, cutting it flat according to his waist and ribs.
Both are aiming for each other.
Under such a high-speed hedging, any tactical action is redundant, and there is no need to exert force at all, because even the blunt blunt knife, with the blessing of high speed, is enough to easily cut the human body.
As for dodging, it is entirely up to each person's eyesight, judgment and experience.
Poor eyesight, wrong judgment, or inexperience will result in death.
It was too late, and it was too fast, Wang Ye's saber had already slashed through the right rib of the devil squadron with a bang, and the saber of the devil squadron leader also slashed through Wang Ye's right waist almost at the same time.
The cavalry of the two sides suddenly joined and opened, and soon staggered.
In the middle of the loess plain, there are hundreds more corpses.
This time, however, there was almost no difference in casualties between China and Japan.
More than 50 devil cavalry were wiped out, and none of them survived.
The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was about the same, with losses of at least fifty horsemen.
This is the cruelty of the cavalry hedge, when the courage, horses, and training of both sides are about the same, the casualties are basically the same.
The reason why the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were nearly twice as many as those of the Japanese army in the first hedge just now was because the training was not as good as that of the Japanese army.
But in the second hedge, the recruits with low training levels have already been eliminated, and the rest are experienced veterans or well-trained recruits, so the casualty figure is directly leveled.
Sun Desheng turned around and asked Wang Yedao: "Lao Wang, are you okay?" ”
Just now, he saw that the saber of the devil squadron leader directly cut through Wang Ye's right rib.
Wang Ye put the saber back into the sheath and said abruptly, "What do you say? You look like I'm in trouble? ”
Sun Desheng didn't say much, urged the horse to come to Wang Ye's approach, and then pulled off the homespun short coat on Wang Ye's body, only to see that the whole short coat broke from the middle of his right waist.
And the incision is very neat, it is obvious that it was cut by a saber.
But looking at Wang Ye's right waist, there is not even a scar.
"Holy! You're so lucky for your dog's day. Sun Desheng said.
"I really scared Lao Tzu half to death just now, and I thought you would be disemboweled."
"Haha, of course." Wang Ye laughed and said, "Haven't you heard a word? ”
"What?" Sun Desheng said.
Wang Ye said: "People who love to laugh are not bad luck. ”
"Really?" Sun Desheng will be skeptical, so I will laugh more in the future.
Thinking of this, Sun Desheng laughed: "Haha, each company has left a squad to clean up the battlefield, collect the war horses, and the rest of the brothers will reorganize the team, haha, haha!" ”
The nearby cavalry looked sideways.
While re-lining up, he secretly said,
Lian Commander Sun shouldn't have a cramp in his mouth, right?
……
Sun Desheng was laughing, but Shibuya Ichiro was about to explode his lungs.
"Matsuura, this idiot!" Shibuya Ichiro gritted his teeth and said, "Let him not chase, let him not chase, he didn't listen, and he really fell into the calculation of the Eighth Route Army, right?" ”
Ozaki Hiroyoshi said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Chinese cavalry is coming this way!" ”
Shibuya Ichiro looked up sharply, and sure enough, he saw that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had reorganized the queue after cleaning up the Matsuura squadron, and then quickly approached them.
This is a tricky situation.
The infantry was rushed close by the cavalry on the march, and it was no joke.
At that moment, Shibuya Ichiro said with a dark face: "Order, each squadron will start a battle formation on the spot." ”
The Japanese troops, who were originally advancing, immediately stopped and quickly formed a battle formation, and the 92 infantry guns, the 92 type heavy machine guns, and even the 96 type light machine guns were all erected.
However, the Chinese cavalry also stopped and did not move forward.
Looking at the Chinese cavalry parked about two kilometers away, Shibuya Ichiro was at a loss.
Keep moving? It is likely that the Chinese cavalry took advantage of the loophole, but it is so dry? I'm afraid it won't work, Taiyuan is still waiting for them to come to the rescue.
Shibuya Ichiro hadn't figured out how to deal with the Chinese cavalry, and more trouble came.
"Look, Chief of Staff!" Haruji Gray Wild pointed to the right side, and roared with a dark face, "Shina infantry! ”
Ozaki Hiroyoshi also shouted: "Not only on the right hand, but also on the left and behind, damn it, there are a lot of infantry." ”
Shibuya Ichiro hurriedly looked around and found that Chinese troops were popping up in all directions, and each Chinese army was not many in number, as few as three or five people, and as many as a dozen people.
And the distance between them is very large.
In the face of such a sparse skirmish, it is obviously not cost-effective to open fire.
Even the use of heavy machine gun fire is not cost-effective, because the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.
Of course, the best way is to send out skirmishers-for-tat and engage in skirmishers with the Chinese army.
For the soldiers of the Second Guards Division, Shibuya Ichiro was still very confident, and said to Ozaki Hiroyoshi at the moment: "Ozaki-kun, send an infantry squadron, take the detachment as a unit, and attack separately to kill them." ”
"Hello!" Hiroyoshi Ozaki was stunned and immediately sent an infantry squadron.
Nearly 200 Japanese soldiers soon divided into more than a dozen detachments and scattered in all directions.
Seeing that the Japanese army also sent a small detachment to attack, the Chinese stragglers who surrounded them from all sides turned around and ran.
However, at this time, the Chinese cavalry, which had been stationed two kilometers away, suddenly split into two and quickly pounced on the Japanese detachment attacking on both flanks.
Shibuya Ichiro hurriedly ordered the infantry detachment that had made a sortie to withdraw.
But how could the two legs of the infantry outrun the four legs of the cavalry? In the blink of an eye, the two squads had been caught up by the Chinese cavalry, and the cold light flickered, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
The Chinese cavalry swept forward, and small detachments were constantly caught up and killed.
In the blink of an eye, most of the dozen or so squads that attacked were wiped out, and only two squads escaped by chance.
The Chinese cavalry rushed forward for almost two kilometers, then merged again and dismounted in the rear of the Japanese positions to rest, as if preparing for the next charge.
At this time, the Chinese infantry, which had previously collapsed, reappeared.
These Chinese soldiers in groups of three or five slowly surrounded the Japanese position from all directions.
Shibuya Ichiro instantly felt a dilemma, send troops to expel him, it is inevitable that he will repeat the mistake just now, but if he doesn't send troops to expel him, he won't want to move forward at all.
Gritting his teeth, Ichiro Shibuya made a difficult decision.
"Order, leave an infantry squadron behind, and drag these China stragglers."
Shibuya Ichiro had no better choice but to resolutely adopt the strategy of gecko tail cutting, at the expense of an infantry squadron, in exchange for the early arrival of the Shibuya detachment in Taiyuan.
……
"Lao Wang, the devil has divided his troops!"
Sun Desheng finished eating the pancakes in two bites, got up and said, "Do you want to catch up and entangle them?" ”
"Don't hurry, they can't go far." Wang Ye fed the flames with fried beans and said, "Let the war horse rest for a while, otherwise, the war horse will not be able to bear it." ”
Although the explosive power of the war horse is amazing,
But it's far more fragile than you think.
If left unprotected, warhorses can easily be scrapped.
……
Shibuya Ichiro led the main force of the detachment to the south.
The raised loess plain in the middle blocked the view, and the infantry squadron that remained behind the broken spot was soon invisible, but the fierce gunfire and explosions could still be heard, and it could be guessed with the toes that the main force of the Eighth Route Army had arrived and launched an attack on the broken infantry squadron.
Shibuya's facial muscles twitched violently.
He really wanted to lead the main force back to help him desperately.
But he knew better that if he really led the main force of the detachment to fight back, then the Eighth Route Army would definitely scatter and flee, leaving their fists in the air.
