Li Yunlong led a cavalry company to the highway to prepare to intercept the Japanese cavalry.

In less than half an hour, the ambush site was chosen.

An open area about 100 meters wide for the cavalry to deploy.

The road is flanked by earthen slopes about two meters high.

Li Yunlong said to Sun Desheng: "Sun Desheng, I will hand over the command of this battle to you, and even I will listen to your command." ”

"Commander." Sun De's face turned into a bitter melon, "Don't you embarrass me, how dare I command you?" ”

"What are you talking about, kid?" Li Yunlong glared, "Lao Tzu has never done cavalry, how do you know how to command cavalry to fight?" ”

Although Li Yunlong has never been a cavalryman, he has been a regiment commander for many years, and he often rides horses, but his riding skills are better than most soldiers in the cavalry company.

Of course, there is no comparison with a veteran like Sun Desheng who has been a cavalryman for ten years.

Not only is his riding skills incomparable to Sun Desheng's, but even commanding cavalry battles is not Li Yunlong's forte.

Knock on the gong and sell sugar, each doing one line.

In terms of infantry tactical command ability, the five Sun Desheng could not catch up with Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong asked, "Tell me, how are you going to fight this battle?" ”

Sun Desheng carefully inspected the terrain and said.

"Regiment commander, the terrain here is not dangerous, and the devil cavalry will probably not be able to reconnoitre."

"I'm going to put 60 horses on the front to attract the attention of the devil cavalry."

"The advantage of this is that the devil sees that we only have 60 cavalry, and they have more cavalry than us, so they will definitely choose to fight us."

"Eight light machine guns, four on each side, form side-fire crossfire."

"The remaining 30 or so horsemen are placed behind the dirt slope over there and hidden so that they don't show their heads, and after they start to hedge with the cavalry head-on, they will kill from the rear wings and attack the devils on both sides."

Li Yunlong listened to Sun Desheng's plan, carefully observed the terrain, and felt that there was nothing wrong.

So he nodded and said: "The key to this battle is whether the light machine guns on both sides can kill half of the devil cavalry, so the machine gunners in ambush on both sides must be hidden, and they must not show flaws. ”

"This battle is the first battle since the formation of our new cavalry company."

"You kid must play brilliantly, annihilate this devil cavalry, and when I go back, I will ask for credit for your cavalry company."

"Yes!" Seeing that the regiment commander agreed to his battle plan, Sun Desheng looked slightly happy, turned around and went to lay out the battle plan.

The cavalry is all Li Yunlong's treasure, and at present, the cavalry company has a total of 103 cavalry, each cavalry is equipped with a Yunlong knife and a four-four type rifle rifle, and carries 100 rounds of rifle ammunition when he goes out.

In addition to this, it is equipped with 8 Czech light machine guns, and each machine gunner carries 500 rounds of machine gun ammunition when he goes out.

In the future, Li Yunlong also plans to expand the cavalry company into a cavalry battalion, with a machine gun company and a mortar platoon under its command.

At that time, the firepower of the cavalry battalion will far exceed that of the Japanese cavalry squadron.

Sun Desheng called the three platoon commanders and soon issued the order for combat deployment.

The establishment of cavalry is not the same as that of infantry, and generally only more than 600 cavalry can be counted as a cavalry regiment.

More than 1,200 cavalry is considered a cavalry brigade, and more than 2,000 cavalry can be called a cavalry division.

Although the Japanese cavalry wing usually had just over 1,000 cavalry, it could easily crush a brigade from the front in the face of the sparse Chinese army.

The cavalry's military horse is not an ordinary horse used for transportation in the infantry, but a war horse.

A horse is a good horse if it is not caught by artillery fire on the battlefield, but such a horse can only assume the responsibility of transportation on the battlefield.

To become a war horse, the horse first needs to absolutely obey the orders of the master, and even charge at the enemy's artillery fire.

This is also the reason why the brigade commander learned that Li Yunlong had captured 300 war horses from a cavalry battalion and immediately came to fight the autumn wind.

After three minutes, Sun Desheng walked up to Li Yunlong and said: "Report to the regiment commander, the combat deployment has been issued, please comrade the regiment commander to go to the designated ambush site." ”

"What designated ambush location?" Li Yunlong said, "Lao Tzu wants to learn the sword skills of the devil cavalry in the front." ”

Hehe, with a smile, Sun Desheng said: "Regiment Commander, I'm sorry, now the command of everyone here is in my hands, including you, the regiment commander, this is what you said personally." ”

"Political Commissar Zhao has said that if the commander's order is changed overnight, it will be a kind of exploitation of the command."

"Commander, you see how educated the political commissar Zhao is, how well he uses the words "change the order" and exploit it."

Li Yunlong glared: "Fart, Political Commissar Zhao has Lao Tzu and culture?" ”

But after all, it was his own order, and Li Yunlong was embarrassed to change his words at this time.

Li Yunlong asked, "Where is my ambush location?" ”

Sun Desheng replied: "I led 60 cavalry to attract devils in the front, and the regiment commander, you led 30 cavalry to outflank from the rear flank." ”

Li Yunlong then carried the Yunlong knife and walked towards the previously agreed dirt slope.

The soldiers were already ready behind the dirt slope, and when they saw the regiment commander coming to fight side by side with them, they all cheered up.

These cavalrymen were all veterans selected by Sun Desheng from various battalions who could ride horses, and after more than two months of special training by Sun Desheng, they have now become real cavalrymen.

Li Yunlong was an idle master, and while waiting for the devil cavalry, he told several stories of his battles during the Red Army period, which attracted low applause from the soldiers.

The atmosphere in which the battle was approaching did not seem so tense anymore.

Two hours went by in a flash.

The sun is in the west.

The scout cavalry lookout post on the hillside ahead finally signaled that the devil cavalry was coming.

After about three minutes, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded.

A group of Japanese cavalrymen wearing yellow robes appeared on the highway horizon with 44-4 infantry rifles on their backs and 32-type cavalry swords on their waists.

The cavalry wing generally does not have a cavalry brigade, but is composed of a cavalry squadron, as well as a cavalry squadron and a machine gun squadron.

The leader was the commander of the second squadron of the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing, Takeshima Suda Shaosa.

Although Wu Dao did not bring all the cavalry of the second squadron, these more than 80 elite cavalry were still a force to be reckoned with.

As Sun Desheng expected.

Takeshima Suda came to visit the Torotei base this time, and the new commander of the Torotei base, Captain Fuji Ichiro, and Takeshima Shosa were friends from the same country, and they were both from Hiroshima.

The cavalry of the Kuroshima Cavalry Wing, including Takeshima Suda, were all murderous fellows, and often trained Chinese civilians and prisoners of war in chopping and shooting.

They put the captured prisoners and civilians into the open field to untie the ropes, and then the cavalry chased after them, slashing with sabers and firing with rifles.

"Stop!" Suddenly, Takeshima Suda, who was at the front, noticed that there were eight cavalry in front of him, and immediately reached up and clenched his fists hard, making a gesture to stop advancing.

The more than 80 riders who followed behind tightened the reins at the same time, and the Oriental horse under the crotch sounded a neighing sound.

In the blink of an eye, more than 80 Japanese cavalry came to a halt and quickly advanced to a standstill movement, which only took a few seconds.

It's just that this is enough to show that this Japanese cavalry is a well-trained elite.

Takeshima Suda looked at the Eighth Route Cavalry 300 meters away, only about No. 60 was waiting with a saber, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a killing intent instantly spread.

80 against 60, the advantage is mine.
