Chapter 581 Defeated!

"Use a rifle!"

"spread!"

In the middle of the Japanese cavalry team, the adjutant Masao Tanaka gave orders loudly.

He actually expected this to be a trap. If the 500 cavalry of the Eight Routes was against the 1300 cavalry of the Japanese army, and the firepower was not weak, it was necessary to confront and hack the Japanese cavalry?

However, the captain of the regiment, Takeo Takagi, insisted on counterattacking and hacking to kill more than 500 cavalrymen of the Eight Route Army.

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

The firepower network composed of more than 500 tongues of fire enveloped the Japanese cavalry in one fell swoop, resulting in half of the troops being killed in the first wave of hedging.

Following Masao Tanaka's order, the Japanese cavalry returned the Type [-] sabers to their scabbards one after another, and took off the Type [-] rifles on their backs.

The ghost cavalry gathered together quickly pulled apart the cavalry horizontally, and the cavalry from both sides quickly approached.

At a distance of 200 meters, the devil's [-]-style rifle began to shoot, and he was ready to chop with a saber when he 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 enveloped the past.

The devil cavalry's marksmanship is indeed excellent. Even if they shoot from horseback, dozens of cavalrymen from the new regiment will be hit in one encounter, and many army horses will also be hit.

However, Xinyi Group's firepower advantage was too great, the submachine gun in his hand continued to fire, and the devils fell in pieces.

This time, the charge of the devil cavalry was not as dense as the first time, but more spread out.

So the result was 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 Devil Cavalry remained.

"change!"

The 1st Battalion of the New Cavalry, who missed the devil's charge formation, turned their horses around under the order of Cao Jiang, and saw that there were only more than 300 cavalry left in the devil's cavalry team.

The new regiment still has 500 cavalry, and the new regiment has 500 against the Japanese army's 300. Whether it is riding and shooting or saber slashing, the new regiment's cavalry has an absolute advantage.

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

Cavalry saber charge and slash?

The times have changed.

Isn't it more comfortable to dash with a submachine gun than a saber?
On the opposite side of the Japanese cavalry team, Masao Tanaka, the deputy captain of the 10th cavalry regiment, was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. It is a shame that a full-staffed elite cavalry regiment of the empire lost three quarters in a few minutes. .

"withdraw……"

Masao Tanaka took a deep breath, yelled, and then rode his horse and ran away, all the bushido spirit and chivalry spirit go away, life-saving is the most important thing now.

Although the devil cavalry were not afraid of death, if they continued to fight, they would be slaughtered. They all followed Masao Tanaka on their horses and galloped wildly.

"Battalion Commander, shall we chase after him?"

Seeing the devil cavalry escape, the second company commander asked Cao Jiang, the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Since the cavalry of the devils was confronting the cavalry of the new regiment, although the cavalry of the new regiment missed the cavalry of the devils, the cavalry of the devils had already run up.

The cavalry of the new regiment had to accelerate again if they wanted to catch up. The devil's cavalry quickly ran 200 meters away. It was already difficult to catch up with the devil's cavalry when the riding skills of the two sides were not much different.

In addition, the submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers of the new regiment had an effective range of only 200 meters, even if they chased them, they would not be able to kill a few devils.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jiang said loudly: "Stop chasing, and quickly clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

The cavalry soldiers responded loudly, and suddenly dispersed and began to clean the battlefield.

In the battle just now, many devils were thrown off their horses. Some devil cavalrymen were trampled to death by horseshoes, but some devil cavalrymen were still alive.

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

The cornfields in this area were full of corpses of horses and cavalry from both sides. Some of them were horses and cavalry from the new regiment, but most of them were horses and cavalry from the devils.

The cavalry of the new regiment saw the devil's body on horseback, no matter whether it was dead or not, they first gave the devil's body a shuttle.

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

Da da da, da da, da da da...

One after another, the sound of submachine guns rang continuously in the wild.

Although dozens of cavalrymen of the new regiment were shot off their horses, some cavalrymen were still alive, and the health workers and some cavalrymen began to rescue the wounded.

"The commander's tactic is really useful!"

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

"Battalion Commander, why don't you tell the regiment commander that our cavalry battalion will be equipped with submachine guns in the future."

"This submachine gun is light, powerful and ferocious. The devil's [-]-style rifle is his grandson in front of him."

Although the effective range of the Japanese 400-style rifle is more than 200 meters, it is difficult to hit the target if it exceeds [-] meters in the case of riding and shooting.

"What are you thinking, kid?" Cao Jiang shook his head, his eyes calm, "This tactic can only be used once at most, and it won't work if you use it too much. The devil cavalry is not a fool. Next time we will use this tactic again." Tactics, the devils will definitely not rush up and slash us cavalry with sabers."

This time, the cavalry squadron that was able to defeat the devils was also due to some luck. If the devils came up, the cavalry artillery squadron and machine gun squadron would set up Type 90 heavy machine guns and Type [-] [-]mm mortars.

It's hard to say the outcome.

"That's true." The company commander touched the helmet on top of his head in embarrassment.

Later, Cao Jiang personally drew up a telegram and asked the telegrapher to send it to the regiment headquarters.

The distance from here to Dagu Town is already more than 15 kilometers, so even with a high-power walkie-talkie, the regiment headquarters cannot be contacted.

……

Dagu Town.

The new regiment.

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou is reporting to Li Yunlong the battle situation of each battalion.

The current offensive of each battalion is not to say that it is overwhelming, but it is relatively smooth.

Under the cover of mountain artillery, howitzers and tanks, the attacking troops of each battalion took over several Japanese positions again in the morning.

"Report, the 1st Battalion of the Cavalry has an urgent call!"

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 saluted Li Yunlong with a snap.

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong looked surprised, thinking that the 1st Cavalry Battalion had encountered some trouble, he quickly took the telegram from the telegraph operator.

But after quickly reading the telegram, the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly, and the upward curve became bigger and bigger.

"Regimental Commander, did the 1st Cavalry Battalion defeat the 10th Cavalry Regiment?"

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou saw the change of 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 from the 10th Cavalry Regiment encountered our 1st Cavalry Battalion in the area of ​​Xiaoye Village..."

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

"Great!" Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment, laughed immediately: "Our 1st Battalion of Cavalry did a great job, and now the devil's cavalry is much less of a threat to us!"

After finishing speaking, Xing Zhiguo showed a look of anticipation on his face.

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

After this battle is over, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion will also be built, so the new regiment will have 2 reinforced cavalry battalions.

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

In the future, the new regiment will develop more than a dozen reinforced cavalry battalions and tank battalions. The new regiment can even go north to attack the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia, defeating the Japanese army stationed in Mongolia in one fell swoop, and directly cut 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 to support the Xinyi Regiment, a dozen cavalry battalions and tank battalions, just sprinkled water.

"Forward the telegram to headquarters immediately!"

Li Yunlong re-drafted a telegram, then signed his name, and handed the telegram to the telegraph operator.

The telegraph operator snapped a military salute, turned around and left quickly.

……

Heyuan County.

The Japanese Shanxi Northwest Frontline Command is also the headquarters of the 10th Division.

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

In the morning, the Japanese army lost several more positions. The balance of victory seemed to be tilted towards the Eighth Route Army, and the two old devils couldn't sit still.

Ishikawa Erlang stared at the sand table, and said in a solemn tone: "Now I only hope that the 10th Cavalry Regiment can infiltrate and detour to the rear of the new infantry regiment of the Eighth Route, and cut off the logistics supply line of the new regiment."

The reason why the Eighth Route New First Regiment's offensive went so smoothly was mainly due to the cooperation of artillery firepower and heavy tanks.

As long as there are no shells in the cannons of the new regiment and no fuel and ammunition for the heavy tanks, the offensive of the new regiment will naturally be contained.

Although the cavalry regiment detoured to the rear, it was likely that the entire army would be wiped out, but there was no way around it.

In this situation, the only option is to cut off the wrists of a strong man and sacrifice the 10th Cavalry Regiment to ensure the victory of the entire battle.

Moritake Tanabe also had a dignified expression.

At this moment, the communications captain of the 10th Division hurried in with a telegram in his hand, and reported to Moritake Tanabe and Jiro Ishikawa: "Report, I just received an urgent telegram from the 10th Cavalry Regiment, the 10th Cavalry Regiment Team……"

"What happened to the 10th Cavalry Regiment?" Jiro Ishikawa asked casually, staring at the map, completely unaware that a tragedy had happened.

"The 10th Cavalry Regiment..." The communications captain paused for a moment, and then spoke very quickly, "The 10th Cavalry Regiment was defeated by the Eighth Route Shinichi Cavalry Battalion in the area of ​​Onomura. die!"

"Nani?"

Moritake Tanabe and Jiro Ishikawa raised their heads impressively, and looked at the communication staff in disbelief.
