Chapter 584: Defeated!

"Ride a gun with foot!"

"Spread out!"

In the middle of the Japanese cavalry ranks, Adjutant Masao Tanaka gave a loud order.

He actually expected that this was a trap, the 8th Route 500 cavalry against the Japanese 1300 cavalry, when the firepower was not weak, it was necessary to hedge and slash with the Japanese cavalry?

However, the wing commander Takagi Takeo insisted on hedging and slashing and killing the cavalry of more than 500 people on the Eighth Road.

Although Masao Tanaka expected this to be a trap, he did not expect the Eighth Route Cavalry to pull out more than 500 submachine guns.

The firepower network composed of more than 500 tongues of fire enveloped the Japanese cavalry at once, causing half of the men and horses to be killed in the first wave of hedges.

With the order of Masao Tanaka, the Japanese cavalry withdrew the Type 32 saber in their hands back into the scabbard and removed the Type 44 rifle on their backs.

The devil cavalry gathered together quickly opened the cavalry formation, and the cavalry on both sides quickly approached.

At a distance of 200 meters, the devil's four-four rifle began to shoot, ready to slash with a saber when it got close.

Da Da Da ......

The submachine guns in the hands of the new regiment of cavalry fired, and more than 500 M3 submachine guns fired at the devil cavalry almost simultaneously, and the rain of bullets covered the face.

The marksmanship of the devil cavalry is indeed excellent, even if they shoot on horseback, as soon as they take a look, dozens of new regiments of cavalry are hit, and many military horses are also hit.

However, the firepower advantage of the new regiment was too great, and the submachine gun in his hand continued to strafe, and the devils fell in pieces.

This time, the charge of the devil cavalry was not as dense as the first time, and it was more dispersed.

So the results achieved were not as great as the first charge, but at least half of the devil cavalry was killed.

That is to say, after two hedging rounds, only a quarter of the cavalry of the 10th Wing of the Devil Cavalry remained.

"Turn!"

The 1st Battalion of the New Cavalry Regiment who missed the Devil's Charge Formation turned its horse's head at Cao Jiang's order, and saw that there were only more than 300 cavalry left in the Devil's Cavalry Ranks.

There are still 500 cavalry in the new regiment, and 500 in the new regiment against 300 Japanese troops.

After turning the horse's head, the warriors took off the empty magazine one after another and inserted a full magazine, their eyes and expressions full of disdain for the devil cavalry.

Cavalry sabre charge against slash?

Times have changed.

Isn't it more comfortable to rush with a submachine gun than a saber?

In the Japanese cavalry team opposite, the deputy commander of the 10th Cavalry Wing, Masao Tanaka, was so angry that he almost fell off his horse, and it was a shame that an elite cavalry wing of the empire had lost three-quarters of it in a few minutes.

"Removal ......"

Masao Tanaka took a deep breath, shouted and then rode his horse and ran, what bushido spirit and chivalry all get out of the way, now it is important to save your life.

Although the devil cavalry was not afraid of death, if they continued to fight, they would be slaughtered, so they followed behind Tanaka Masao on military horses and galloped wildly.

"Battalion commander, let's chase!"

Seeing that the devil cavalry had fled, the commander of the second company asked Cao Jiang, the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Since the devil's cavalry was hedging against the cavalry of the new regiment, although the cavalry of the new regiment staggered the cavalry of the devil, the speed of the devil's cavalry had already run.

And the cavalry of the new regiment had to speed up again if they wanted to catch up, and the cavalry of the devil had soon run to a distance of 200 meters, and it was already difficult to catch up with the cavalry of the devil when the riding skills of the two sides were not much different.

In addition, the effective range of the submachine guns in the hands of the new regiment of fighters is only 200 meters, and even if they catch up, they will not be able to kill a few devils.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jiang said loudly: "Don't chase it, quickly clean up the battlefield!" ”

"Yes!"

The cavalry warriors responded violently, and suddenly dispersed and began to clean up the battlefield.

In the battle just now, many devils were thrown off their horses, some devil cavalry were trampled to death by horses' hooves, but some devil cavalry were still alive.

Cao Jiang also underestimated the combat effectiveness of one submachine gun in the cavalry battalion, and the 54 light machine guns on the two flanks of the rear had not yet played a role, and the 10th Cavalry Wing of the Devil had already been defeated.

This cornfield was full of corpses of military horses and cavalry on both sides, some of which were horses and cavalry of the new regiment, but most of them were military horses and cavalry of the devil.

The cavalry of the new regiment saw the corpse of the devil on horseback, and whether they were dead or not, they gave the corpse of the devil a shuttle first.

The devils of the A division are not easy to capture, maybe there are devils who are pretending to be dead, waiting for the new regiment of cavalry to clean up the battlefield, and they will die with you.

Dada, dada, dada......

One after another, the sound of submachine guns continued to sound in the wild.

Although the cavalry of the new regiment was shot off the horse and dozens of people, some of the cavalry were still alive, and the medical staff and some cavalry began to rescue the wounded.

"Commander, this tactic is really useful!"

The commander of the first company of the first cavalry battalion rode a horse to Cao Jiang's side, showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and patted the submachine gun on his chest:

"Battalion commander, if you tell the regiment commander, our cavalry battalion will be equipped with submachine guns in the future."

"This submachine gun is both lightweight, firepower and fierce, and the devil's four-four rifle is his grandson in front of him."

Although the effective firing range of the Japanese army's Type 44 rifle rifle was more than 400 meters, in the case of mounted fire, it was difficult to hit the target beyond 200 meters.

"What do you kid think?" Cao Jiang shook his head, his eyes were calm, "This tactic can only be used once at most, it won't work if you use it too much, and the devil cavalry is not a fool, next time we use such a tactic, the devil will definitely not rush up and fight with our cavalry saber." ”

This time, the cavalry wing that was able to defeat the devil was also a bit lucky, if the devil came up and let the cavalry artillery squadron and machine gun squadron set up the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 97 90mm mortar.

It's hard to say whether you will win or lose.

"That's just as well." The company commander embarrassedly touched the steel helmet above his head.

Subsequently, Cao Jiang personally drafted a telegram and asked the telegrapher to send it to the regiment headquarters.

The distance between here and Dagu Town is more than 15 kilometers, so even if you use a high-power walkie-talkie, you can't contact the regiment headquarters.

……

Big Lonely Town.

The new regimental headquarters.

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou was reporting to Li Yunlong on the battle situation of the battalions.

At present, the offensive of the battalions is not overwhelming, but it is also relatively smooth.

Under the cover of mountain artillery, howitzers and tanks, the attacking units of the battalions again took a number of Japanese positions in the morning.

"Report, 1st Cavalry Battalion Emergency!"

Wang Dehou finished his report and was about to leave, when the telegraph correspondent of the regiment headquarters walked in with the telegram in his hand and gave a military salute to Li Yunlong.

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong looked surprised, and thought that the 1st Cavalry Battalion was in trouble, so he quickly took the telegram from the telegraph operator.

But after reading the telegram quickly, the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled slightly, and the upturned arc became larger and larger.

"Regiment commander, did the 1st Cavalry Battalion defeat the 10th Cavalry Wing?"

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou saw the change in the expression on Li Yunlong's face, and guessed what was going on, so he asked.

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong's expression was extremely satisfied, and he said loudly: "The devils of the 10th Cavalry Wing are in the area of Ono Village, and they have encountered our 1st Cavalry Battalion..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong glanced at Chen Feng and Xing Zhiguo, and smiled in a unique voice: "The 10th Cavalry Wing of the little devils suffered three-quarters of the casualties, and the remaining devil cavalry fled in the direction of Anhua County, and the 1st Cavalry Battalion is currently cleaning up the battlefield." ”

"Great!" Xing Zhiguo, the deputy commander of the regiment, suddenly smiled and said: "Our 1st Cavalry Battalion has done a good job, and now the threat of the devil cavalry to us is much smaller!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xing Zhiguo's face showed a look of anticipation.

In this battle, the 1st Cavalry Battalion should have captured a lot of military horses.

After this battle, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion was also rebuilt, and the new regiment would have 2 reinforced cavalry battalions.

Although the establishment is a cavalry battalion, the scale is not weaker than that of the cavalry regiment, which is equivalent to two cavalry regiments under the jurisdiction of the new regiment.

In the future, the new regiment will develop more than a dozen reinforced cavalry battalions and tank battalions, and the new regiment will even be able to go north to attack the Japanese army in Mongolia, defeating the Japanese army in Mongolia in one fell swoop, and directly cutting off the devil's ambition to attack southwest from the Hetao area.

Xing Zhiguo glanced at Chen Feng, he knew that Boss Chen was behind him to support the new regiment, more than a dozen cavalry battalions and tank battalions, just sprinkling water.

"Forward the telegram to headquarters immediately!"

Li Yunlong redrafted a telegram, then signed his name and handed the telegram to the telegrapher.

The telegraph operator gave a military salute and walked away quickly.

……

Heyuan County.

The headquarters of the Japanese army in the northwest of Jinxi is also the headquarters of the 10th Division.

Jiro Ishikawa and Moritake Tanabe were also listening to the chief of staff report on the battle situation at the front.

In the morning, the Japanese lost a number of positions, the balance of victory seemed to be tilted in favor of the Eighth Route Army, and the two old devils were a little unable to sit still.

Ishikawa Jiro stared at the sand table and said in a solemn tone: "Now I only hope that the 10th Cavalry Wing can infiltrate the rear of the infantry of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route and cut off the logistics supply line of the New Regiment." ”

The reason why the offensive of the new regiment of the Eighth Route was so smooth mainly relied on the coordination of artillery fire and heavy tanks.

As long as there were no shells in the artillery of the new regiment and no fuel and ammunition for the heavy tanks, the offensive of the new regiment would naturally be contained.

Although the cavalry wing detoured to the rear and was likely to be wiped out, there was no way to do it.

In this situation, the only way to do this is to break the wrist of a strong man and sacrifice the 10th Cavalry Wing to ensure the victory of the entire battle.

Moritake Tanabe also had a solemn expression.

At this moment, the communications captain of the 10th Division held a telegram in his hand, hurriedly walked in, and reported to Tanabe Moritake and Ishikawa Jiro: "Report, I just received an urgent telegram from the 10th Cavalry Wing, and the 10th Cavalry Wing ......."

"What happened to the 10th Cavalry Wing?" Jiro Ishikawa stared at the map and asked casually, not realizing that a tragedy had happened.

"The 10th Cavalry Wing ......" the communication captain paused, and then said very quickly, "The 10th Cavalry Wing was defeated by the cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route New Regiment in the area of Ono Village, and the wing commander Takagi Takeo Ozuo was killed in battle!" ”

"Nani?"

Moritake Tanabe and Jiro Ishikawa looked up in disbelief at the communications staff.
