Chapter 202 Chen Ziyun mistakenly fights the puppet cavalry
"Brigade, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, the 358th Regiment will be completely annihilated in Qicun Town."
"The puppet Mongolian army has a large number of cavalry troops. They are good at fighting on horseback. The brigade headquarters may be attacked by cavalry at any time."
"The defense deployment of Qicun Town has been breached. If you don't evacuate quickly, we will all be killed by Liquid Ming."
Qian Bojun had already brought the regiment personnel to the brigade headquarters. When he saw Chu Yunfei, he said with worry on his face.
Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters has been moved to the area south of Qicun Town. This means clearly that he wants to personally supervise the battle.
Chu Yunfei also knew about the frontline combat situation. He knew that the 358th Regiment's battle at Chiangqi was not going well.
Can you see that Qian Bojun, as the commander of the regiment, evacuated without permission? Chu Yunfei showed an unhappy expression on his face.
Especially Qian Bojun, who kept begging for evacuation and said anything like asking for the destruction of the entire army, he was even more angry.
"Captain Qian, I am the acting commander of the 358th Regiment. I am asked to command operations on the front line."
"The position is about to be breached. Instead of commanding from the front line, I evacuate without authorization and continue to confuse the morale of the troops."
"If I don't do that, he can shoot me on the spot as a warning to others!"
Chu Yunfei looked at Qian Bojun and said with displeasure.
Does Qian Bojun want to be low-key, so as to continue to gain Chu Yunfei's confidence and continuously increase his price tag?
Can you hear Chu Yunfei scolding him directly to his face, and even saying something about begging him to be shot?
This made him very dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but refute it.
"Commander Chen Ziyun unified the command of all ministries in operations, but he could not directly hide in the high ground on the west side and conduct the command."
"The pinzi formation is deployed for defense. It turns out that the Yue puppet army broke through the position within two or three east."
"Master, he is guilty of death. Doesn't Commander Chen Ziyun, the commander in charge, deny that he deserves death?"
Qian Bojun looked at Chu Yunfei and said with unconvinced expression.
Chu Yunfei frowned and glanced at Qian Bojun coldly.
"Brigade, I just got the news that Commander Chen Ziyun has quickly gone to the front line to take command."
At that time, Fang Ligong reported softly.
"Chief of Staff Fang, even Chen Ziyun is invincible!"
"The defeat of Qicun Town has been determined. Can Chen Ziyun go over and turn the tide?"
"He may not think so. Brigade, the defeat of Qicun Town is not his fault alone. Please treat everyone equally and deal with it fairly."
Qian Bojun looked at Fang Ligong and emphasized the words "Chief of Staff Fang" with a sarcastic tone.
Fang Ligong knew whether Qian Bojun was an old man who had followed Chu Yunfei for many years, so he would naturally not argue with him.
Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, ignored Qian Bojun, and paid attention to the battle situation on the front line.
At around four o'clock, the fifth battalion attacked from the flank, and a force of 400 men launched an offensive operation to attack the Japanese flank troops.
The four Liao-made field guns did not provide direct support for them, and they did make some progress there.
The little devils focused their attention on Qicun Town and did not expect that troops would attack from the flanks.
The 1st Independent Infantry Brigade quickly assembled and began to attack the 5th Battalion on the west side.
Those little devils obviously overestimated their capabilities. After the battle, their 800-man troop had already suffered dozens of casualties.
A force of more than 700 people would not have much advantage when facing a force of 400 people in the 5th Battalion.
What's more, four field guns were stationed east of Zhou Wenbo's command and continued to provide artillery support.
"Da da da."
"Bah bang bang."
"Tu tu tu tu."
The soldiers of the fifth battalion were commanded by Wu Ziqiang and assembled submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns to launch fire.
A large number of little Japs were hit by intensive firepower as they advanced and were killed directly.
The four field guns continuously fired shells to attack the little Japanese.
The First Independent Infantry Brigade instantly suffered dozens of casualties, and the Major Captain was forced to stop the attack and defend on the spot.
At the same time, the artillery unit of the fourth brigade, which was independently formed in the hilly area, also began to provide artillery support.
They also had four Liao-made field guns there, which directly led to the shelling of the fifth battalion.
What did Bu Sheng say? After the appearance of the fifth battalion, it indeed contained a considerable part of the Yuan army and reduced the defense of the first battalion in Qicun Town.
At 4:40, Chen Ziyun came to the area south of Qicun Town.
On the way there, Chen Ziyun was attacked by the puppet Mongolian cavalry.
More than thirty puppet Mongolian cavalry suddenly rushed out, and they came straight towards Chen Ziyun.
At this time, Chen Ziyunquan's military rank was Army Artillery Lieutenant Colonel, but because he served as the commander of the 11th Reserve Regiment, he could wear the school uniform, which was a job rank.
When the cavalry saw Chen Ziyun, they did not choose to shoot. Instead, they quickly charged at him with their sabers and hammers.
Fortunately, there was an infantry platoon from the guard company beside Chen Ziyun, who immediately organized firepower to intercept.
One after another Jin-made submachine guns and light machine guns opened fire one after another.
But even then, did those pseudo-Mongolian troops show superb riding skills?
Some of them hid directly on horseback, or hid their bodies on the side of the horse's back to avoid bullet attacks.
Some quickly put away their sabers and took aim with their Liao-made rifles.
More cavalry came quickly and threw a horsehair rope, which was directly tied to Chen Ziyun's body.
Chen Ziyun was instantly dragged away by the horse, dragging him a full four to five meters.
Fortunately, a soldier from the guard company immediately took aim with his rifle and shot the cavalry, and then stopped coming eastward.
Chen Ziyun's military uniform was damaged everywhere, there were abrasions all over his body, and his body was in burning pain.
He was so angry that he took out the shell gun and pulled the trigger one after another, because he had intermediate shooting skills supported by the system.
Some puppet Mongolian cavalry who wanted to get closer were eliminated one after another.
The covering infantry platoon began to carry out precise strikes. The soldiers holding submachine guns lay directly on the ground and fired.
The rifle leg was half-kneeling on the ground, aiming and shooting.
Each grenade launcher also fired quickly.
More than 30 puppet Mongolian cavalry were annihilated one after another.
The terrain south of Qicun Town is very flat, which is very conducive to cavalry mobile operations.
That means the puppet Mongolian army wants to capture people alive. Otherwise, if they shoot from a long distance, they will definitely gain something.
Of course, the infantry platoon protecting Chen Ziyun belongs to the guard company, and they are not vegetarians either.
The puppet Mongolian cavalry paid the price with their lives for their carelessness.
Chen Ziyun brought the war horses and rode forward with the soldiers.
After arriving at the battlefield, he quickly understood the situation and promptly contacted the Second Battalion and the Second Mountain Artillery Company.
"Captain Chen, the first and third battalions are fighting very hard. They have completely lost contact with the regiment headquarters."
"They sent signal troops to check the lines and found that the regiment headquarters had been moved."
"There was a lot of gunfire and artillery fire over there at the First Battalion. They were continuing to fight, but the little Japanese had already invaded the outside of the town."
"The Third Battalion is surrounded by puppet Mongolian troops, and they don't know how to provide support."
"They are worried that once they advance that way, they will be attacked wildly by the puppet Mongolian cavalry."
When the commander of the second battalion of the 358th regiment saw Chen Ziyun, he said with a solemn expression on his face.
Chen Ziyun was not surprised at all about Qian Bojun's withdrawal.
I wonder if Qian Bojun can command the troops to defend and live and die with the entire regiment. That would be a strange thing.
And I begged Qian Bojun to do that. With his qualifications and status, it would be impossible for him to completely master the 358th Regiment in the future.
But after what happened tomorrow, Qian Bojun's desire to control the 358th Regiment was completely wishful thinking.
The officers and soldiers are not stupid either. No one will be willing to sacrifice their lives for a regiment commander who will abandon them at any time.
Even those officers and soldiers can directly use black guns during combat.
There is a battlefield, and anything can happen.
"He has arranged troops for support over the First Battalion. They can defend Qicun Town."
"We ask for help from the third battalion to rush over quickly, and he will command us to fight."
"The Puppet Mongolian Army's combat effectiveness is not weak, especially their cavalry, which is very strong."
"The Second Battalion of Mountain Artillery provided cover, and the Second Battalion quickly rushed over to help and dispatched an infantry company to protect the artillery."
"Commander of the fourth platoon, I led the fourth platoon of the guard company to stay at the artillery position."
Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face and immediately gave the battle order.
He personally commanded the second battalion to fight and began to rush towards the third battalion for reinforcements.
At present, the Puppet Mongolian Army has deployed more than a thousand infantry from the First and Second Guard Groups to attack from the north.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Regiments carried out harassment attacks from the east, west, and south.
Chen Ziyun just encountered the puppet Mongolian cavalry, and you can see the strength of those cavalry.
Most of the puppet cavalry grew up on horseback, and they can be completely integrated with the war horses.
Most of them can do techniques such as hiding on horseback, standing on horseback, and shooting while horseback is on.
There are currently more than 1,000 cavalry troops in the three cavalry regiments. They raided from three sides and pinned down the three battalions.
Fortunately, the third battalion of the 358th Regiment had six Shanxi orogen cannons to assist in the battle, otherwise, they might have suffered a devastating blow.
Of course, the puppet Mongolian troops continued to attack, and their casualties continued to increase.
Especially since they were supported by sixteen Liao-made field guns, the threat to the Third Battalion would be even greater.
After Chen Ziyun commanded the troops of the Second Battalion to set off, the Second Company of Mountain Artillery launched an artillery bombardment.
Six Type 94 mountain guns continued to bombard the puppet Mongolian infantry, reducing the defensive pressure on the third battalion.
Sun Xiong commanded the artillery to launch precise strikes, posing a certain threat to the puppet Mongolian army attacking from the north.
Lin Yunzhi, the commander of the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, quickly received the report. When he learned that there were troops approaching the third battalion's position, he sneered at the corner of his mouth.
The sixteen Liao-made field guns of the cavalry artillery regiment quickly turned their muzzles, and the three cavalry regiments also began to receive combat orders.
A large number of cavalry gathered together and they quickly rushed towards the second battalion.
Lin Yunzhi's idea was very simple. He wanted to assemble the main force of the 7th Division and instantly eat the troops of the 2nd Battalion rushing over for reinforcements.
But he would never have thought that the person commanding the second battalion in combat at this time would be Chen Ziyun.
As dust was flying in the distance, the ground was shaking slightly, and the sound of horse hooves was heard, Chen Ziyun decisively gave the order.
The three infantry companies of the second battalion, with the machine gun company as the core, quickly spread out to build positions and launched defense on the spot.
Each company's light machine guns, rifles, and grenade launchers form the first line of defense.
If you build a shell gun and a submachine gun, you can build a second line of defense.
Each squad's battle still relies on light machine guns as its core.
The soldiers quickly dispersed, looking for and digging bunkers on the spot.
At that time, grenades were fired rapidly, and with the sound of explosions, shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.
Some soldiers were caught off guard and began to be hit, dying on the spot.
Similarly, when the puppet Mongolian cavalry advanced rapidly, Zhu Mingxuan Artillery Battery and Sun Xiongshan Artillery Battery 2 concentrated their artillery fire.
Those cavalry also suffered casualties during their rapid advance.
By 5:15, three cavalry regiments and more than 900 cavalry troops were approaching quickly.
The cavalrymen carried Liao-made rifles and started shooting from a long distance.
At the same time, a large number of cavalrymen drew their sabers and spiked hammers and quickly approached the Second Battalion's position.
Bullets were fired one after another, and the puppet Mongolian cavalry troops had a clear division of labor.
Chen Ziyun looked through the telescope with a serious expression on his face.
At this time, some of the puppet cavalry fired suppressively, while some of the puppet cavalry quickly approached with cold weapons.
According to cavalry tactics, cavalry should charge in a concentrated manner.
But with the emergence of machine guns and other weapons, the cavalry would simply be a target if they had to concentrate their charge.
So the cavalry quickly dispersed around and charged from all sides at the same time to distract the second battalion's defensive firepower.
"Batalion Commander Zhao, ordered the machine gun company to fire 82MM mortars to focus on attacking the puppet Mongolian army's machine gun legs."
"Especially their light and heavy machine guns, we must not let them set them up."
"Please keep an eye out to see if they are carrying grenade mortars."
Chen Ziyun called to Commander Zhao of the Second Battalion and immediately gave the battle order.
At this time, the Puppet Mongolian cavalry charging from each company had already started shooting.
Type 38 rifles and Jin-made light machine guns launched intensive fire strikes.
The puppet Mongolian cavalry kept advancing, but their cavalry and horses were constantly shot and killed.
As they approached, the grenade launchers equipped in each platoon also began to fire grenades.
"Da da da!"
In some areas where the puppet Mongolian cavalry is about to break through, the four moon-type heavy machine guns of the machine gun battery will immediately open fire.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun launched burst fire, and bullets hit the puppet Mongolian cavalry accurately.
The Second Battalion troops were under the personal command of Chen Ziyun and showed a relatively tenacious defense.
Although the large number of cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army surrounded them instantly, the Second Battalion was like a hedgehog, making it impossible for the puppet army to talk.
After a short period of time, hundreds of cavalrymen began to fall to the ground, and the injured horses also began to wail in pain.
The battle lasted until 5:40, and the puppet Mongolian cavalry suffered about two hundred casualties.
At this time, after continuous fighting, the puppet Mongolian cavalry was attacked one after another. They suffered 400 casualties, which was no longer the strength of a cavalry regiment.
Of course, those casualties were caused by the 2nd Battalion of Bu Maofu, and the results of the 3rd Battalion and Artillery Corps were also included.
The commander of the Puppet Mongolian Army who directed the battle quickly began to withdraw from the battle. After the Puppet Army Division Commander Lin Yunzhi received the report, his face was ashen.
At six o'clock, he came directly to the front line, commanded the cavalry troops, and raided directly towards the position of the Second Artillery Company of Sun Xiongshan.
