As the devil cavalry turned their horse's head and rushed back, the horse's hooves rolled, and the smoke and dust quickly rose.

However, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army had already stopped on the way of the devil cavalry's charge.

The person in charge of commanding the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was Ma Renxing, the battalion commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New First Regiment.

After capturing Pangolin, a high-ranking agent of the devils, the new regiment received 2,000 military horses and expanded into 3 cavalry battalions.

Together with the original two cavalry battalions, the new regiment has a total of five cavalry battalions, each with nearly 700 cavalry battalions.

Now the three cavalry battalions of the new regiment of recruits have formed combat effectiveness after several months of training.

This campaign, together with the cavalry battalion of the New Second Regiment, totaled more than 4,000 cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

The five cavalrymen of the new regiment were armed with Yunlong swords, Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, and Type 56 submachine guns, as well as bazooka for each squad, and quite a few 60-mm and 82-mm mortars.

The cavalry battalion of the new 2nd Regiment was also equipped with all Yunlong knives and M1 carbines.

The strength of the army is about one cavalry division.

That is, Sun Desheng went to the tank battalion commander.

Otherwise, with Sun Desheng's military exploits and qualifications, the commander of this cavalry composite battalion should be Sun Desheng.

Of course, Ma Renxing's tactical command ability of the cavalry was no worse than Sun Desheng.

A cavalry division, a cavalry brigade for dry devils.

The weapons and equipment are better than the devils, and the level of training is no worse than the devils.

Whether it is dismounting and fighting on foot, or sprinting and chopping on horseback, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army is not a ghost cavalry.

The vanguard of the devil cavalry was quickly routed.

"Brigade commander, a large number of cavalry of the Eighth Route Army were found in the front, with at least 3 cavalry wings, blocking our way."

A staff officer reported to Major General Kaneto Yasuda, who was following behind the cavalry.

"Nani?"

"3 cavalry wings?"

Major General Yasuda Kaneto's face changed slightly.

At this time.

A diplomatic battle is in full swing for several kilometers, and Kaneto Yasuda can even see the smoke of gunpowder rising from the sky.

This is certainly not a shell fired by the Japanese army, and the locust soldiers at this time are being shelled.

What's more, the command of the First Army is still in the middle of a large force and is in danger.

At the beginning of the war of aggression against China, Kaneto Yasuda was the wing commander of the 18th Wing of the 18th Cavalry of the 14th Division, with the rank of Nakasa, and the division commander at that time was Kenji Dohi.

However, after several years of fighting and accumulating military achievements, Kaneto Yasuda was also promoted to the rank of major general.

After Kuribayashi Tadamichi was transferred, Kaneto Yasuda was appointed commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Although Yasuda Kaneto's tactical command ability is not as good as Kuribayashi Tadamichi.

But to become the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Kaneto Yasuda is not a fool, he has long studied the battle examples of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese cavalry in the northwest of Shanxi.

Whether the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army was immediately chopping and fighting, or dismounting and foot fighting, the Japanese cavalry was in a state of suppression.

"Pause the offense!"

"Set up the mortar!"

Major General Kaneto Yasuda gave the battle order with a solemn expression.

The Eighth Route Army came prepared, obviously well prepared, and it was destined to be a fierce battle.

But Kaneto Yasuda had no choice, and the mission and duty of the 1st Cavalry Brigade was to protect the security of the headquarters of the First Army.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head and said.

With the order of Major General Kaneto Yasuda was issued.

The two cavalry squadrons of the devils quickly moved 16 90-mm mortars of the 97 type.

The other 3,000 devil cavalry converged and drew their 32-style cavalry swords, trying to attack the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army under the cover of artillery fire.

"Don't look back after the confrontation with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, and directly attack the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army."

In the Japanese cavalry team, Kaneto Yasuda held a major general's sword and said to the two wing commanders next to him.

Even Major General Kaneto Yasuda personally participated in the battle, and at present, the occupation has deteriorated to the point of great erosion for the Japanese army.

The cavalry hedged and slashed, extremely cruel.

Yasuda Kaneto predicted that his 1st Cavalry Brigade would be cut down with the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

The cavalry of its own 3,000 people is expected to suffer more than half of the casualties, and the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army will suffer at least 1,000 casualties.

After the cavalry charged and chopped, the Japanese cavalry and the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army could switch positions, and the Japanese cavalry could directly rush towards the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army.

Under normal circumstances, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army must be protected by troops, but the firepower will definitely not be too strong.

Yasuda Kaneto thought very simply, as long as the Japanese cavalry rushed into the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, it would be equivalent to wolves entering the sheepfold.

You can do whatever you want.

Without the cover of artillery fire, the large forces would definitely be able to break through successfully.

The Eighth Route Army chose the position of ambush, and the terrain was relatively flat, which was suitable for cavalry to play.

Kaneto Yasuda felt that the Eighth Route Army would not choose such a position to ambush.

Therefore, when the devil cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Brigade passed here, they only briefly reconnoitred and left quickly.

"Hey."

"Hey."

The two cavalry captains bowed their heads in response, and then gave orders to their respective cavalry.

Major General Kaneto Yasuda held up the telescope and looked at it, in the field of view of the Kaneto Yasuda telescope.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side also gathered together, and they all drew the cloud dragon battle knife in the scabbard.

Kaneto Yasuda could even see the murderous intent surging out of the faces of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yo Xi!"

"It seems that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army has prepared a duel between warriors and locust cavalry in this wasteland."

Yasuda Kaneto's tone was awe-inspiring.

He was not afraid that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army would play cavalry charging and chopping with the Japanese cavalry, and he was afraid that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army would not play cavalry charging and chopping with the Japanese army.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Lieutenant General Yan Song, Commander of the First Army, will personally call you."

A telegraph soldier walked over quickly with a telegram on his back and reported to Kaneto Yasuda.

Kaneto Yasuda immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to the telegraph soldier, and took the handset and microphone: "Your Excellency Commander, I am Kaneto Yasuda. ”

"Yasuda-kun, where is your 1st Cavalry Brigade now?"

As soon as the words fell, the earpiece heard Iwamatsu Yoshio's rapid call and inquiry, as well as the dense sound of shell explosions.

Kaneto Yasuda then said, "Your Excellency, Commander." ”

"Our 1st Cavalry Brigade is about 4 kilometers due east of you."

"The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, about 3 cavalry wings, blocked the direction of our attack."

"But please rest assured, our 1st Cavalry Brigade will definitely be able to rescue you and the main force."

"Then please, Yasuda-kun!" Iwamatsu Yoshio breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was afraid that Kaneto Yasuda would see this formation, so he directly led the 1st Cavalry Brigade to slip away.

After all, in terms of structure, the 1st Cavalry Brigade is still subordinate to the Mongolian army.

"Hey."

After saying that, Yoshio Iwamatsu hung up the call.

Kaneto Yasuda also handed the receiver and microphone in his hand to the telegraph soldier.

In order to prevent the battle plan from being monitored, Kaneto Yasuda did not tell Yoshio Iwamatsu his battle plan on the radio.

Once the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army strengthened their defenses, the difficulty of the battle increased!

"The brigade commander, the artillery position, is ready."

A staff officer rode over and bowed his head to Kaneto Yasuda and reported.

"Shoot now!"

Kaneto Yasuda's tone was cold.

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head and replied, then turned his horse's head and ran towards the artillery position.

Not long after, a muffled sound of "tom tom" sounded on the Japanese artillery position, and the muzzle flames bloomed, and three Type 97 mortars began to be test-fired.

Three shells crossed the arc in the sky and landed in the middle of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army did not show weakness either, and immediately returned the color, more than 60 60-mm and 82-mm mortars, firing in the direction of the devil cavalry.

As soon as it came up, it was covered by artillery fire, and there was no pre-fire in advance.

The devil's cavalry spread out very much, and most of the shells fell in the middle of the devil's cavalry.

The devil's artillery immediately adjusted its firing at Zhu Yuan, and the 16 Type 97 mortars opened full fire, firing a salvo of shells in the direction of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

The Type 97 90mm mortar, commonly known as the small steel cannon, was one of the most successful mortars of the Japanese army, and it was very powerful.

However, at this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the sky.

Beside Kaneto Yasuda, a ghost cavalryman seemed to hear something, and immediately looked up at the sky.

Immediately, the devil's cavalryman's face changed greatly: "Not good, brigade commander, enemy planes are coming at us!" ”

"Nani?"

Kaneto Yasuda looked up and saw dozens of planes in the sky, already on the dive route, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

As soon as the Eighth Route Army came up, it used dozens of mortars for artillery coverage.

The incessant explosion of mortar shells in the ears drowned out the roar of the aircraft.

It was not until the planes of the Eighth Route Army were about to reach the heads of the Japanese cavalry that the Japanese cavalry heard the roar of the planes.

"Yaga!"

"Kill to ......"

didn't have time to think and react too much, Yasuda Kaneto pulled out the major general's war knife and pointed forward.

The planes of the Eighth Route Army were already on the dive route, and looking at that number, there were at least 40 aircraft.

At this time, continue to wait for the mortar to shell the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, then this cavalry brigade of his own is equivalent to a live target for the aircraft of the Eighth Route Army.

However, it was too late.

20 Sabre fighters and 20 A20 attack planes, lined up in 4 dive attack formations, launched an attack on the devil.

The plane flew over the devil's head.

Boom boom...

Immediately afterward, between the formations of the devil cavalry charge, dense and huge explosive fireballs rose up, as well as overwhelming explosions.

Countless devils and military horses were shrouded in flames from the napalm explosion.

Countless devils and military horses were torn apart by the dropped aerial bombs.

However, the devil cavalry, who was not affected by aerial bombs and napalm, raised the three-two cavalry knife in his hand and urged the war horse to continue to move forward.

In the roaring sound of horses' hooves, the devil cavalry swept in the direction of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army like a yellow tide.

Looking at the ghost cavalry that charged over, Ma Renxing, the commander of the cavalry synthesis battalion, did not panic at all.

"Bright guy!"

He gave the order on the walkie-talkie in a categorical tone.

Then.

The cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army suddenly dispersed, revealing hundreds of Makqin and M1917 heavy machine guns blocked by the cavalry.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of dense machine guns like bursting beans rang out, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly poured towards the devil cavalry.

Watching the devil cavalry fall one by one, the corners of Ma Renxing's mouth grinned slightly: "What era is it, who still plays cavalry charging and slashing with devils?" (End of chapter)
