The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"Now all the troops have run out of ammunition, and they have no ability to continue fighting. Sir, what do you think?"

Hearing the report from the staff officer, the haggard Commander Yu Xuezhong felt a deep sense of powerlessness all over his body: "Let the troops without ammunition leave the battlefield in an orderly manner...but keep it secret, and not affect the operations of the troops with ammunition. "

Ammunition has always been an important constraint that plagues the Chinese army. When confronting heavy troops and devils on the frontal battlefield, the ammunition often raised is only enough for about a month of fighting.

If the battle cannot be ended within a month, regardless of victory or defeat, the Chinese army must take the initiative to leave the battlefield, because if the fight continues, it will have to fight with flesh and blood and devils.

In many cases, even if you win the battle in the early stage, the disastrous defeat in the later stage is because you ran out of ammunition, and you were no longer able to fight the devils, so that you were defeated for thousands of miles.

But these Chinese soldiers who fought bloody battles are suffering. After every defeat, they will suffer groundless accusations and abuse, saying that they are incompetent, but they are indeed defeated, and even the explanation is so pale.

Facing the severe situation of the battlefields in the Sulu theater, instead of continuing to fight the devils, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible while still having strength.

Otherwise, once the devils recover, the troops who have fought hard for so long and have no ammunition will face another massacre. Now it is important to save the troops. As for the battle plan given to them by the Military Commission, they can only end without a problem, which is very helpless.

"Great victory! Great victory!"

Just as the staff officers in the war room were preparing to formulate a withdrawal plan with pain in their hearts, cheers came from outside.

A communications staff officer rushed into the war room like a wind, holding up the newly transcribed telegram in his hand and shouting: "Great victory! Great victory! The recovery of Gaoyou!"

It was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. One stone stirred up thousands of waves. After the entire lifeless war room was stunned for a moment, these senior staff officers and aides gathered around one after another, no longer caring about the majestic image.

At such a moment, winning such a big victory is undoubtedly a shot of stimulant for the theater command who has lost confidence.

"Great victory, Nantong is restored!"

When everyone hadn't recovered from the shock of Gaoyou's recovery, another staff officer rushed over.

Text Chapter 953 Confrontation

"Report, we have lost contact with the Qingchuan troops in Gaoyou City..."

In the mighty marching team of the Sano detachment advancing north along the Shaobogong Highway, Major General Taro Sano, the captain of the detachment, got the news of the fall of Gaoyou.

They lost contact with the defenders of Gaoyou City. The situation is self-evident. The defenders of Gaoyou have been wiped out. At this moment, the flag of blue sky and white sun may have been planted on the head of Gaoyou City.

"Order, all departments move forward at full speed, and stay overnight in Gaoyou!"

"Send a report to the artillery brigade, cavalry brigade and other units that are gathering in Yangzhou, ordering them to quickly go north to Gaoyou to join me—"

After getting the news of the fall of Gaoyou, the slow-moving Sano Detachment suddenly accelerated their speed and rushed towards Gaoyou City as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Now Taro Sano has enough reasons to boost morale, and the corpses of those imperial soldiers who died in Gaoyou City will make every soldier angry and let them turn their hatred into combat power, so this battle can Victory in the first battle.

The mighty devil marching troops were crowded with people, and the cold helmets glowed with a faint light. The villagers along the way saw the devil coming, and they scattered and fled in fright.

But this time the devil soldiers didn't care to loot the villages along the way. Their goal was Gaoyou, the Chinese army in Gaoyou city.

Major General Taro Sano had a sneer on his face. When his troops suddenly appeared under Gaoyou City, those Chinese celebrating the victory would probably drop their jaws in surprise.

But he not only wanted to shock these Chinese soldiers, but also killed them. Taro Sano always believed that the occupation zone policy formulated by the Central China Expeditionary Army Command was too weak, which led to the unscrupulous guerrillas.

In his opinion, only forceful conquest and bloody massacres can deter those Chinese people. They must be used as an example, and all those who support the guerrillas must be killed. Otherwise, the occupied area will always be a mess, and it will consume a lot of their troops. Let them fall into the quagmire of war.

He didn't have the opportunity to lead troops in battle before, but this time, he personally commanded the heavy troops of the seven brigades to press on the Sulu theater. Iron and blood means.

When the devils advanced towards Gaoyou at full speed, the cavalry reconnaissance squadron galloping in front of the main force had already begun to meet with the Chinese cavalry reconnaissance company going south for reconnaissance.

In the Lianghuai area with dense water networks, there are so many criss-crossing rivers and irrigated farmland ditches that roads are also limited by various bridges.

Fighting in such terrain, the cavalry is also greatly restricted, and cannot charge and maneuver on a large scale like the cavalry under General Fu Zuoyi in the northern region.

The cavalry reconnaissance company under the Sulu guerrilla corps, which went south to Shaobo Town for reconnaissance, was expanded by the communication squad. It generally carried out the task of defending the chief and reconnaissance, and rarely fought head-on with the devil cavalry.

"Platoon leader, look, devil cavalry!"

The officers and soldiers of more than 20 cavalry reconnaissance companies just turned around a forest, and saw devil cavalry stationed not far away, holding up binoculars and looking around for investigation, everyone's nerves suddenly tensed, and the sound of guns and knives was heard. into one piece.

And these ghost cavalry who went out to investigate the enemy's situation were also taken aback. They didn't expect to encounter Chinese cavalry here. After being shocked, they drew their guns and drew their swords one after another, as if they were facing a big enemy.

After all, in the Chinese army, except for many veteran troops in North China that have cavalry, most of the Chinese army is not equipped with cavalry. After all, raising cavalry horses requires a lot of money, which is really unaffordable.

Another important reason is that the terrain in the south is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations. In this era of long-range weapons dominating warfare, cavalry has fallen behind.

As long as the terrain is suitable, a heavy machine gun with enough bullets can destroy a well-organized cavalry battalion, so the power of cavalry is not as good as before.

The reason why the Chinese army and the devil army retain the cavalry system is that the devil is to make up for the lack of mobility. After all, they are not mechanized troops.

In the north, the Chinese army uses cavalry as the main combat force, and in the south it is used to perform defense and reconnaissance tasks, and there is little confrontation.

The devil cavalry found the Chinese cavalry in their field of vision. Their speed was very fast, and after a little shock, they rode their horses and rushed over. They were even worried that the Chinese cavalry would escape, and sent five cavalry from the flanking farmland to try to cut off the retreat.

"Platoon leader, what should we do?"

Seeing that the devil cavalry had rushed over, the cavalry with the reconnaissance company became nervous.

After all, they had very few chances to fight head-on with the devil cavalry. The ferocity of the devil made them feel a sense of fear of the devil, which was the same as that of many Chinese army officers and soldiers during this period.

"Let's run..." Some officers and soldiers have already retreated. After all, they are here to investigate, and there is no reason to fight the devils desperately.

"A few little devils in the district dare to charge at us, it's too arrogant!"

The investigation platoon leader raised the lance in his hand and roared: "Brothers, do you have the guts to come with me and kill these devils!"

The so-called generals are courageous. When they heard the voice of the cavalry platoon leader, everyone suddenly felt a lot more confident. There are more than 20 of them, only a dozen or so, and they have the advantage.

"Fuck it!"

The courageous brothers also waved their lances and roared, as if to embolden the brothers around them.

"kill--"

The cavalry reconnaissance platoon leader let out a low growl, kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both legs, and rushed forward to meet the devil cavalry first.

And the more than 20 cavalry brothers behind him also yelled and rode their horses to follow closely, and the horseshoes rumbled across the dry field, stirring up a large amount of dust.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Puff puff……"

After the two sides rushed to the range, they raised their guns and fired one after another. The bullets whizzed by, and people on both sides were shot and fell off their horses, and wailing sounded.

But those who were still sitting on their horses did not intend to slow down at all. They let the bullets pass by with a scorching breath. The blade is cold and hard in the cold wind.

"Kill Gaga—"

"kill!"
