"Your Excellency! Nishihara Group long send a call back and forth! ”

"The lieutenant general asked us to reconfirm and see if there was a marching pot of the Eighth Route Army among the captured trophies?"

Hearing this, Terauchi Yong grabbed the reins and forced the Anglo-Norman horse under his crotch to stop running, and then stared at the signal soldier waiting on the left with a puzzled expression.

The look seemed to say: am I crazy or are they sick? Is there any definite need for a broken iron pot?

However, the orders of the superiors must be obeyed, and the old devil first ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit and stay on guard, and then asked the baggage team in the rear to carry the big black cauldron over.

After repeated observations, Teranachi sighed helplessly.

"Why are these bureaucrats who graduated from Lu University always pursuing some meaningless details? If we halt our advance now, we will lose the opportunity to catch up with the enemy leader. ”

"If you have kung fu in a daze, isn't it good to chase after victory?"

But complaining is complaining, and the old devil still said to the communication soldier:

"Call back and tell the group commander in the rear that the loot we captured is the marching pot of the Jinchaji Military Region Headquarters."

Don't underestimate Nishihara Kazuce, although the old devil has not performed well in recent battles, he is from the 34th saber group of Lu University.

If you want to become a member of the saber group, you must be in the top six of each graduating class of Lu University. This title is a symbol of honor and personal strength.

Even if Isamu Terauchi is a hereditary baron, he has to obediently listen to the other party's command in military operations.

A moment later, a telegram from the 14th Cavalry Wing returned to Fengzhen. Looking at the affirmative reply in black and white, Nishihara Kazuze excitedly bounced up from the stool.

"Haha! These lucky guys! They can get medals! It seems that Amaterasu is protecting our cavalry group! ”

"Order the troops of Isamu Terauchi! Immediately leave Datong with the loot and return to the Fengzhen headquarters! Their task now is to protect the marching pot at all costs! ”

"Neighboring troops act immediately! Cover the retreat of the 14th Cavalry Wing! And also! Contact North China Army Airlines! Let them rally to Datong! The Eighth Route Army has lost its commander, and it will definitely fight back wildly! ”

At the same time, Otozaburo Yano and Mamoru Iinuma gave the same order.

There will be time to resolve the internal contradictions in the future, and the top priority now is to return the spoils of war to the headquarters safely, otherwise all small actions will be useless.

The 26th Division, the 110th Division, and the various units of the Cavalry Group, which received the order, immediately moved closer to the position of Isamu Terauchi.

The devils, who were still rushing and fighting, suddenly began to avoid the battle, which provided great convenience for the retreat work of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

······

"Ability, the situation is a little wrong, isn't it?"

"Why did the devil suddenly stop chasing, why does it look like there are still some signs of going to be diverted? Personally, I think that there is a high probability that a friendly unit was bitten by the enemy! ”

By the time things had developed, the 59th Regiment had achieved its goal of strategic deception.

Through the remains of the documents left in the combat conference room, the devil is currently firmly convinced that the army reorganization experts are in Datong City.

With the munitions left behind in the retreat route, the fighters of the two companies also led the enemy's most mobile cavalry units to the exact opposite route to the army reorganization specialists.

Even if the 59th Regiment retreats now according to the predetermined plan, no one can say anything from the moral high ground.

However, the "friendly army" is in difficulty, and it is absolutely impossible for Li Da to leave the mountain without moving.

In his perspective, the devil was still struggling to pursue just now. Suddenly change the direction of the march, there must be some unexpected situation, and there must be a demon when it is abnormal.

"Well, I agree with the idea of the stone."

"Calculate the time, the boss may have arrived in Huairen, and the escort mission will be over. Prepare for battle, we need to make some moves to help the trapped allies share the firepower. ”

"As long as the gunshots sound here, I am not afraid that the devils will not divide the troops."

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the two companies were full of fighting spirit.

Judging from the combat power on the surface, there are more than 300 people in a cavalry brigade of the devil. And there are more than 600 people in their two companies, and they even have a chance to crush them when they fight.

Although the cavalry of the Japanese army claimed to be an aristocratic army, its actual combat effectiveness was really not very good.

In the face of the Eighth Route Army two years ago, the other side can still bully and bully people with mobility and firepower. Right now? Submachine guns, light machine guns and mortars have enough ammunition.

If the enemy dared to charge, the warriors dared to put the barrel of their guns into the mouths of the enemy's horses.

It is said that you can just listen to it, and no one will really take it seriously. At the beginning, Sugiyama Gen claimed to have destroyed the Republic of China in three months, but now it is not going back more and more.

"Hehe, I've always wanted to fight the devil's cavalry, and today finally let me wait for the opportunity!"

"Captain! Leave it to me to block the enemy head-on, and hand it over to Chenghai and their company on the flank battlefield. If all goes well, the battle will be over in ten minutes! ”

The magnet tone is relaxed and straight to the point.

What age is it now, and I still play horseback riding and slashing.

Even if the devil's cavalry rushed up at speed, their company could rely on the fire network composed of submachine guns and machine guns to stop the enemy by force.

Coupled with the firepower points deployed on the side, the Japanese cavalry was taught to behave in minutes.

"Hehe, it's good to have self-confidence, but you can't underestimate the enemy. Guan Erye is still careless about Jingzhou, let alone us. ”

"That company is responsible for slowing down the devil cavalry, and the second company provides fire support from the flanks. After completing the task, the troops quickly withdrew from the battlefield in platoons. ”

"If there are special circumstances and discoveries, report them in time, and take action!"

In fact, Li Da is also very confident in this battle.

In just two years, he led his comrades in battles large and small. can develop from a militia team to a main regiment with a number, and there will naturally be no shortage of combat experience in it.

Even in terms of firepower alone, their regiment is ten times stronger than in 39, what is so difficult to deal with a cavalry brigade?

In the interval between the layout of the battlefield of the 59th Regiment, the 14th Cavalry Wing again received a call from the rear.

When Terauchi took the telegram from the messenger and read it carefully, an unhealthy flush immediately appeared on the old devil's face.

"Yaga, what the hell is Nishihara Kazuse going to do!"

"This is just a very common marching pot, why is he so obsessed with the cooking utensils of the Eighth Route Army?"

"Wouldn't it make me give up the opportunity to make meritorious service if I let the team retreat now! Damn bureaucracy, how could the base camp let a pig be a lieutenant general of the younger country. ”

Hearing this, the communication soldiers on the side hurriedly and quietly retreated, for fear that their own Dazuo would whip them in the face.

After scolding a few words, Isamu Terau suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Just as Nishihara Kazusei always believed that a nobleman would not send telegrams indiscriminately, he also felt that a lieutenant general from the saber group would not be a psychopath.

In this way, the problem lies with the self-propelled cauldron itself.

"Signal Soldier! Get the codebook! See if the marching pot is a code word? What does that mean? ”

But at this moment, a crisp gunshot suddenly sounded in the distance.

Terauchi's brains splashed after being shot, and half of his skull collapsed into the face of the communications soldier. The whole person didn't let out a scream, and fell straight off the warhorse.

This accurate shot came from the hand of the magnet, as the most accurate person in the 59th Regiment, he used only one bullet to kill the devil Dazuo.

There's no way, who let Yong Terauchi not only wear a burning bag, but also scold in the crowd.

Didn't the above behavior clearly tell everyone present that he was the supreme commander of the cavalry unit here?

"Your Excellency!"

"Enemy attack! There are enemies! ”

"Rush! Find me the Republican man in front of me! Get him out! Fight for the Wing Captain! ”

His own Dazuo died in front of him, and this behavior was undoubtedly a humiliation for the 14th Cavalry Wing.

Nakasa, who took over the command, brandished a horsewhip, pulling the reins with one hand and waving his own saber with the other, not to mention how hideous the expression on his face was.

As for the trap or the conspiracy?

No kidding, the main forces of the Eighth Route Army are running around with their tails between their legs, how can anyone take the initiative to expose their position at this point in time.

And it is a normal thing to encounter the enemy's rout in a street fight.

"Kill, give!"

After receiving the order, hundreds of cavalry also followed Nakasa's pace. The death of a nobleman is not a trivial matter, and if they can't kill the culprit, they will also have to be unlucky.

After rushing forward for more than 200 meters, the soldiers of the 14th Cavalry Wing all showed overjoyed expressions.

Because directly in front of them was a large clearing.

Flat ground, ideal for horses to run, minimizes the terrain restrictions on cavalry. This means that you can give full play to your speed advantage, and it also means that the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army will have nothing to hide.

As long as you can find an enemy, whether it is a mounted archery or a saber, you can easily remove the enemy's head.

"Accelerate!"

"All accelerated! I've already seen that Republican! ”

Under Nakasa's call, the devils waved their whips one after another. The war horse was stimulated to accelerate one after another, and it was about to approach the location where the magnet was fired.

Suddenly, the unexpected happened.

Da da da. Da da da.

Regular short-point shots rang out, and the devil cavalry who rushed to the forefront directly overturned on their backs, as if they had hit a wall of air.

"Yaga!"

Looking at the voice, the devil who took over was suddenly stunned.

I saw that not far ahead, the Eighth Route Army had built a defensive position with three light machine guns as the core. Due to the darkness of the night, no one could find out in time.

"Spread out, the enemy's point of fire is not strong! Rush up and kill those Republicans! ”

"Machine gun squad! When you attack from the flanks, you must suppress the light machine guns of the Eighth Route Army! ”

can become a Zhongzuo, and the devil's command ability is naturally not bad.

There were only three light machine guns in front, and the impact speed of their cavalry was fast enough that it didn't take much time to sprint 200 meters. With the opponent's firepower, there will not be much loss at all after the troops disperse.

Even if the Eighth Route Army still has a hand, it will be difficult to have any impact on the battlefield.

With the order of his own Nakasa, the devil cavalry instantly dispersed in an attack formation. The machine gun squad went around to the side and dismounted, setting up crooked handles to shoot at the 59th Regiment.

Seeing that the distance of 100 meters was reached, Li Da was able to give the order to attack without hesitation.

Originally, he just wanted to kill the cavalry of the disabled devils, but he never expected that the opposite side would charge the whole army directly without even reconnaissance, and he could only easily annihilate the enemy.

"Hit!"

All of a sudden, rifle, submachine gun and light machine gun fire resounded across the battlefield.

The flank positions were the most exaggerated, and in the face of unsuspecting cavalry, light machine guns with good range of fire were no different from slaughter. With just one shot in the face, dozens of devils fell.

In this scene, the angry devil Nakazo almost died on the spot.

It was only now that he found out that there were really Eighth Route Army soldiers who dared to ambush them. This is not because the devil is arrogant, but mainly because Li Da is completely unsuitable.

Your main forces are retreating, aren't you afraid that the gunfire will attract our reinforcements?

But the devils have no choice, now there are enemies on three sides, and only by attacking can they fight their way out.

The devils of the 14th Cavalry Wing gritted their teeth and continued to charge, hiding their bodies behind their horses as much as possible while firing as much as possible.

Everyone held their breath, as long as they could reach the position of the Eighth Route Army, they could demonstrate the saber skills that they had been training for several years.

The intention of the devils is obviously to hide from Li Da's eyes. In the face of the enemy's crushing assault, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to fire.

"Grenade! 50 small cannons are on! ”

"The devils are coming from afar, we can't entertain them well."

Sabre? In what age do you still play melee, isn't it fragrant to have sudden automatic fire?

Two minutes later, the battle was over.

With nearly 100 submachine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, the devils could not rush to the front of the 59th Regiment until they died. Looking at the corpses in one place, Li Da immediately ordered:

"Count the casualties and cover the wounded to go first!"

"Stone, you go and see the corpse of the devil commander, maybe you can find out some useful information."

"That old devil kept scolding before you shot, maybe his superiors gave some messy orders."

······

Fengzhen, the joint command post of the Mongolian army.

Compared with the previous laughter, the silence in the combat conference room at this time was terrifying.

The three devil lieutenant generals sat silently in front of a corpse, and the oppressive atmosphere made the surrounding staff officers dare not breathe.

The good news is that the Battle of Datong is over, and now the troops of the three divisions at all levels are cleaning up the battlefield, and they have once again taken the gateway town of Shanxi.

Bad news, Isamu Terauchi died.

The most important marching pot disappeared without a trace, and everyone rejoiced in vain.

"Nishihara-kun, what should we do next? How will General Okamura Ninji explain over there? ”

"I heard that the telegram sent to the base camp by the North P side has even been prepared, if we return empty-handed, won't we slap the general in the face again? The one who started the fire, but the six relatives didn't recognize it! ”
