The new communications squad had just finished calling for air support.

The large cavalry of the devils arrived, and the ground resounded with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and the sound was huge.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region looked over, and dense devil cavalry appeared on the road in the distance, surging over like a yellow tide.

Then.

The devil cavalry all stopped at a distance of 1 km from the guard battalion of the military district.

A devil riding a maroon oriental horse, surrounded by more than a dozen elite devil cavalry, rode up from the rear, and the devil cavalry got out of the way.

This person is older than the devils around him, and he is the commander of the 4th Wing of the 26th Cavalry Brigade, Ohara Kazuaki Daisa.

Ohara Kazuaki Osa raised his binoculars and looked at the three mountains in the distance.

Through the telescope, he saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, as well as the military horses of the scout cavalry lying on the ground.

More than ten minutes ago, Kazuaki Ohara was leading the cavalry wing to sweep along the predetermined route, and the reconnaissance cavalry under his command reported that they had discovered the reconnaissance cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

Kazuaki Ohara immediately led the 26th Cavalry Wing to chase after him at full speed.

"Report to the Wing Commander."

The captain of the scout cavalry rode over and bowed his head and reported:

"The strength of about 1 reinforced battalion of the Eighth Route Army occupies three hills in front, the enemy fire is very strong, and my reconnaissance cavalry squad has lost twenty-five cavalry."

Hearing that the enemy fire was strong, the scout cavalry lost twenty-five horsemen.

Kazuaki Ohara was not angry, but his eyes lit up slightly.

"Yo Xi..."The corners of Ohara Kazuaki's mouth turned up, "Amaterasu bless me, there must be big fish in this Eighth Route Army!" ”

The scout captain looked slightly stunned: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, how can you see that there are big fish in this Eighth Route Army?" ”

Ohara Kazuaki smiled coldly: "The Eighth Route Army generally runs away in small groups, and this wave of the Eighth Route Army is a large force fleeing, and the firepower is stronger than the ordinary Eighth Route Army, so I conclude that this Eighth Route Army is definitely not ordinary, and it is even possible that the head of the Eighth Route Jizhong Military Region is here." ”

"If that's the case." The devil scout captain's eyes lit up, "Our wing is going to make a great contribution." ”

A devil on the side asked confidently: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please give an order, and watch our 1st Cavalry Squadron eliminate this Eighth Route Army." ”

"No hurry!"

Kazuaki Ohara carefully held the binoculars, observed the terrain for a while, and said:

"This place is steep, the Eighth Route Army occupies a favorable position, and our cavalry rushes up, but it is only a live target for the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army."

After a pause, Ohara tilted his head slightly, and asked backwards, "How long will it take for the cavalry artillery squadron to arrive?" ”

"Report to the Wing Commander." The adjutant behind him replied, "The cavalry squadron has about 5 minutes to arrive!" ”

The cavalry squadron carried mortars and shells, and when the main cavalry pursued at full speed, the cavalry squadron lagged behind.

"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army hasn't run far yet, and it's definitely too late in time."

Ohara Kazuaki Daisaku gave an order in an indifferent tone: "After the cavalry squadron arrives, immediately set up mortars and shell the positions of the Eighth Route Army, and the rest of the cavalry dismount and prepare to attack the positions of the Eighth Route Army." ”

"Hey!"

Beside him, several devil cavalry squadron leaders bowed their heads in unison.

The leaders of each cavalry squadron conveyed the order, and more than a thousand devil cavalry turned over and dismounted, leaving a cavalry squad to watch the military horses.

The other devil cavalry took the infantry and entered the attack position.

The infantry of the Eighth Route Army has a reinforced battalion with more than 600 troops, while the Devil Cavalry Wing has more than 1,300 people.

Although the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was not bad, the equipment of the devils was even better, there was a squadron of heavy machine guns and a squadron of mounted artillery.

The Devil's Cavalry Artillery Squadron quickly caught up, and after receiving the order, quickly set up eight Type 97 mortars in a safe position at a distance.

The Type 97 mortar equipped by the cavalry squadron is 90 mm in caliber, nicknamed the small steel cannon, and is more powerful.

Not long after, a tom sounded on the artillery position of the devil, and a 90-mm mortar shell fell on the position of the Eighth Route Army.

Rumble!

The blast wave suddenly rose up, kicking up a cloud of mud and mist.

The devil artillery quickly corrected the firing according to the impact point, and another 90-mm mortar shell landed on the position of the Eighth Route Army.

The two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army snorted twice and were swept by shrapnel.

Immediately afterwards, the devil's eight mortar shells opened fire and shelled the three hills occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

After three minutes of artillery bombardment, the Devil's cavalry formed a skirmish line and attacked the three hills of the Eighth Route Army at the same time.

Ohara Kazuaki Osa was also a little anxious.

After the Eighth Route Army discovered the Japanese cavalry, it must have stayed behind, and the real big fish was fleeing.

So.

Ohara Kazuaki Daisa planned to bloom three times, defeat this eight-way force in one fell swoop, and then lead the cavalry to chase the big fish.

However, Ohara Kazuaki didn't know that the big fish he wanted to catch did not go, and was on the front position at this time.

"Da Da Da..."

"Boom, boom..."

The infantry and artillery of the Eighth Route Army opened fire almost synchronously, and a dense rain of bullets and sparse shells swept towards the attack.

Soon, the first wave of the devil's attack was repulsed.

However, this wave of attacks by the devils is just a wave of tentative attacks, the purpose of which is to test the strength of the firepower of the Eighth Route Army and the location of the firepower points.

As expected, as soon as the devil's cavalry withdrew, the devil's mortar shells roared towards the high ground occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

Fortunately, the commander of the guard battalion and the soldiers of the military region have rich combat experience in fighting devils.

As soon as the Devil's charge stopped, the Heavy quickly shifted their machine gun positions, but there were still a few heavy machine gun positions that moved slowly and were blown up by the Devil's mortar shells.

What's even more troublesome is that the devils of the heavy machine gun squadron occupied the nearby hill and set up heavy machine guns to strafe at the hill where the Eighth Route Army was located.

The Eighth Route Army had to divide some light and heavy machine guns to suppress the devil's heavy machine guns.

Soon.

The second wave of the devil's attack began, and the battle between the two sides soon entered a white heat.

Li Deren also joined the battle with the communications squad, and the five or six semi-automatic firepower and automatic firepower on the battlefield caused some casualties to the devils, but after all, the number was too small to affect the entire battle situation.

The second wave of the devil's attack was fruitless.

Mortars then launched an artillery bombardment on the positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Soon, the devil's cavalry rushed up again.

The command of the Japanese cavalry wing, the commander of the cavalry wing, Kazuaki Ohara, looked at the battlefield through the field of vision of the telescope.

There was a hint of anxiety in his expression, and then he looked at the watch in his hand.

The battle lasted almost 40 minutes, and the soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

In this case, after another 40 minutes of fighting, the battle will not be over.

However, after fighting for a while, the big fish of the Eighth Route Army will definitely slip away.

The more stubbornly the Eighth Route Army resisted.

It shows that the bigger the level of that big fish in the Eighth Route Army.

If you are promoted to major general, it depends on this battle.

Kazuaki Ohara looked at the sky and thought about how good it would be if there was air support, but unfortunately the waste of the North China Front's aviation unit was actually wiped out.

Otherwise, call in a wave of air support and drop dozens of aerial bombs on those hills.

Fighters and bombers swooped down for another wave.

His cavalry only needs a wave of charges to settle the battle, why is it so troublesome now?

At that moment, the sky resounded with the humming roar of airplanes.

"Huh?"

Ohara Kazuaki's expression moved, I didn't call for air support?

Moreover, hasn't the aviation units of the North China Front been completely wiped out?

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army called the plane?

Thinking of this, Ohara Kazuaki's face suddenly changed greatly, this is likely to be the plane called by the Eighth Route Army.

Two days before the start of the sweep, the Eighth Route Army dispatched planes to bomb some of the sweep troops and logistical supply lines.

But.

Ohara Kazuaki's cavalry wing had not yet been bombed by planes of the Eighth Route Army, and there was no intelligence to show that the Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region could call for air support during the battle.

Kazuaki Ohara quickly judged from the sound of the plane that it was coming from the west, and was rapidly approaching here.

He raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the roar of the plane, only to see that the fuselage of the plane was marked with a hammer and a sickle, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Herald."

"Immediately stop the attack, hide in place, prepare air defense!"

Kazuaki Ohara threw away the binoculars and shouted hysterically, and the devil flag soldiers quickly gave the order.

However, it was too late.

The dense planes began to dive, and the target was the devil on the ground, hundreds of aerial bombs fell rapidly, and the dense and huge explosion wave exploded on the devil's head.

The explosion of aerial bombs was accompanied by the dive strafing of 40 aircraft.

Da Da...

Blue light was emitting under the wings of the plane.

Aerial artillery shells strafed, and the one-meter-high mud, sand and gravel bullet marks swept by, and the devil was quickly beaten into a lump of minced meat.

Boom...

Two incendiary bombs landed on the top of the hill of the Devil's Heavy Machine Gun Squadron, and with the overwhelming sound of explosions, the entire mountain was instantly engulfed in flames, and the flames were monstrous.

4 Sabre fighters discovered the artillery position of the devil, and in order to let the brother troops capture a batch of mortars, they did not drop incendiary bombs on the devil's position, but drove the fighters to dive down and cross-fire at the artillery of the devil.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the devil cavalry team who looked at the military horses immediately dropped the military horses at the horse stake, and rode their horses and galloped.

However, the plane that had dropped the bomb quickly came back, and after discovering the fleeing devil cavalry, it quickly chased after it.

In less than two minutes, the planes of the new regiment dived, bombed and strafed, and the entire 26th Wing of the Devil Cavalry was wailing all over the field under powerful firepower, and suffered extremely heavy losses.

And the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain, including District Chief Lu, all fell into a stupor when they watched this scene.

"Attack, attack now!"

"Blow the trumpet!"

District Commander Lu was the first to react and immediately ordered the troops to launch a counterattack against the devils.

"Doot-doo-"

The fierce and rapid trumpet sounded, and the soldiers jumped up from their positions and launched a counter-charge towards the Devil Cavalry Wing.

Then, after about 20 minutes of fighting, the 26th Wing of the Devil Cavalry was easily annihilated.

Look at the captured more than 1,000 military horses, 8 90mm Type 97 mortars, and a large pile of cavalry rifles and ammunition.

"Get rich." District Chief Lu smiled from ear to ear: "This air support is exciting!" ”

Without the 40 planes of the new regiment, not only would the guard battalion suffer heavy losses, but even the headquarters and organs would have been bitten by the devil cavalry wing.

However, with the reinforcement of 40 aircraft, the 26th Wing of the Devil Cavalry was completely annihilated by the guard battalion of the headquarters.

"Is this the air support of the new regiment, it's really powerful!"

The commander of the guard battalion and a staff officer sighed in unison, their minds were still stuck in the picture of the new regiment of planes bombing the devil cavalry, and they did not come back to their senses for a long time.
