Facing another attack.
The Japanese army launched its own counterattack.
The eight mountain cannons had already been assembled and dragged by pack horses and placed in the ranks of the infantry troops. After receiving the approximate location of the attackers from the infantry, four of the mountain cannons were lined up in the wilderness, roughly targeting the attackers.
The coordinate position exploded violently.
The four mountain cannons poured out nearly a hundred rounds of shells. The Japanese army, which had always been aggressive, was willing to use artillery to kill mosquitoes. It can also be seen how deeply the Japanese army hated the attackers.
Unfortunately, Tang Dao ran faster than a rabbit. Before the mountain cannon's fire covered him, he had already sprinted for more than 300 meters in the wilderness, without even caring about the infantry squad approaching him from 400 meters away.
How could the Japanese infantry squad, which had finally found the attacker, let go of the Chinese who made the brigade commander gnash his teeth?
Three signal flares were fired in one go, not only summoning six squads of about 100 Japanese troops within one kilometer, but more than 30 cavalrymen even rushed out of the Japanese army's main formation and chased them in the direction of the flares at high speed.
It was a cavalry regiment left by the 6th Division Headquarters for the 36th Infantry Brigade. It was mainly used for reconnaissance by the 36th Infantry Brigade.
However, the number of Chinese cavalry far exceeds that of the Japanese cavalry. In addition, an entire cavalry squadron on the Huangpu River was wiped out. The Japanese cavalry, who have re-evaluated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese cavalry, can no longer be as bold as before and dare to bully the Chinese army.
The troops lined up one kilometer away to spy, and they only dared to stay three or four kilometers away from their main force.
However, the large number of Chinese cavalry is much bolder. The closest distance to the main force of the 36th Infantry Brigade is only two or three kilometers, and the Japanese cavalry can even see the backs of them driving away.
However, the Japanese cavalry calmly restrained their desire to chase them and eliminate them.
The large amount of horse dung left in the wilderness showed them the size of the Chinese cavalry. Their thirty-year cavalry chased them, and they would probably be wiped out.
Having a clear understanding of their opponents and seeing themselves clearly has kept the Japanese cavalry alive until now.
Otherwise, the more than 200 Chinese cavalry ordered by Lei Xiong to be scattered between the chasing and flashing armies to act as their own eyes could completely unite into a cavalry company within 20 minutes with the help of the iron sentry that broke through the sky, with twice the number of cavalry.
The strength of the Japanese cavalry.
Just relying on attrition can kill this group of Japanese cavalry who have become cautious.
Ushijima Mitsuru didn't care much about whether these cavalrymen could become his eyes. No matter how many Chinese cavalrymen there were, it would be in vain no matter how much they struggled against absolute strength.
Because the Japanese infantry had carriages and cars to tow heavy equipment and baggage, as well as sufficient nutritional supplements, the Japanese infantry could march faster than the Chinese infantry who were trying their best to escape.
During the day on the 12th, despite being harassed several times by Tang Dao with cold guns and artillery fire, reconnaissance planes determined that the distance between the two sides was at least 3 kilometers closer. At this speed, no matter how the Chinese escaped, it would only take four days, no need
With the help of other troops, the Chinese will no longer be able to escape.
It's like a fox encountering a tiger. No matter how cunning you change your escape route, as long as the tiger doesn't give up, sooner or later the fox will be the tiger's prey. Its only resistance is to show its mouth full of despair when it is bitten.
White teeth.
However, what's the use?
Therefore, Ushijima Mitsuru simply gathered all the cavalry into the main formation during the day to deal with possible attackers.
Of course, four legs can run faster than two legs, even in a wilderness full of grass and shrubs.
Then, the Japanese cavalrymen who strode forward were the first to suffer misfortune.
The MG34, which is equipped with a heavy machine gun-type long barrel, has an effective range of up to 800 meters for horizontal fire. In addition, there is Xia Dayu with a telescope beside 'Heizi'.
"Uncle Heizi, scale 800, target direction 11 o'clock, 60 rounds in a row!" Xia Dayu, holding a telescope in one hand and wearing a large steel helmet on his head, although his face is still full of childishness, but his calm and serious tone proves it.
It seems that he has adapted to the battlefield.
The experience at the Xilin Temple Pagoda made the young man understand what life and death are, and why he had to give up life and choose a cold and unknown death.
A person who understands the meaning of life and death will always mature faster.
During the 24 hours when Tang Dao left the city alone, Xia Dayu, who participated in street battles with Yang Xiaoshan, Niu Er and others, may not have improved his combat effectiveness rapidly, but he kept some tactical terms and tactics firmly in his mind.
"Call me Brother Heizi! How old am I?" Brother Hei from Shandong grinned, but he was controlling the MG34 more and more skillfully and aimed it in a direction that was invisible to the naked eye.
The huge force pressed the muzzle of the gun that was constantly beating due to continuous firing, and controlled the ballistic trajectory extremely accurately in the direction of his shooting.
60 rounds of bullets were poured out within 3 seconds.
Five or six of the 30 Japanese cavalrymen who were running extremely fast fell down with a rumble. The shrill cries of the horses made the Japanese infantrymen more than 600 meters away close their eyes in pain.
The Chinese are really too vicious. They use machine guns to shoot down the cavalry.
"Fire! Fire! Kill them. Use all the mountain cannons!" Ushijima Mitsuru, who was observing with a telescope, was almost going crazy.
They used cold guns, cold guns, and now even machine guns are used. The Chinese people are too reluctant to use bean bags as dry food.
I swear in the name of Amaterasu, I won't have to bombard you to death, and my surname will not be Niu.
With gnashing hatred, more than 12 mountain artillery and infantry artillery fired into the wilderness. The specific coordinates could not be determined, so they were based on the general direction.
"Boom! Boom!" The fireballs that kept rising in the wilderness and woods were comparable to a large-scale battle.
'Hammer', who was so frightened that he was following Niu Er, clamped his tail tightly and limped along at a pace no slower than Niu Er.
It really scared the dog to death.
Before the Japanese army opened fire, 'Heizi', who had fired 60 rounds of bullets, directly shouldered the machine gun, took Xia Dayu with him, and ran for more than 300 meters before lying down at another fortification position that he had already chosen.
.
When the Japanese artillery fire paused and the infantry and cavalry began to accelerate again, they suppressed them with another precise burst of fire, and then ran away before the artillery fire came.
Although this level of suppression could slow down the pace of the Japanese pursuit, it could never shake their determination.
Therefore, when Tang Dao rushed to an area about 1,500 meters away from the Japanese main line, he did not run away.
Joining Niu Er, who was 500 meters away on the right wing, you shot me one shot at a time, and started sniping accurately 500 meters away from the Japanese army.
Baga! The Japanese cavalry were almost crying after five people were killed in a row. Why fight? But as soon as they saw the backs of the Chinese, more than half of them were killed or injured.
Where are the infantry? What do you do for food? Where are your grenades? The Baga ones are for me to blast!
The chirping roar of the Japanese cavalry was very clear in the wilderness.
However, the infantry ignored them.
It's more than 500 meters. How can the empire's property be wasted so easily? The Japanese infantry also had good reasons.
Of course the Japanese infantry are not stupid. Now that the cavalry are riding on tall horses, they have clear targets. Of course, the Chinese will attack them. Pointless attacks with grenade launchers will waste ammunition in vain. They may even attract the attention of the Chinese.
Notice.
Wouldn't it be nice to use these Malus, who usually raise their chins to look at people, to attract Chinese bullets? More than half of the nearly 100 Japanese soldiers in the six infantry squads probably thought so.
With the sound of gunshots, cavalrymen fell off their horses, cavalrymen were shot, or horses were killed. Super special forces from the future and Chinese soldiers with bright talents used long-range sniping beyond the understanding of this era to teach the Japanese cavalry how to behave.
, I want to chase them, but 30 people are not enough, I have to double it.
If placed in a jungle, Tang Dao wouldn't be afraid if the number of people doubled.
The pride of the cavalry that the Japanese cavalry had stubbornly maintained was shattered, and the 82 mortar fired.
The 82nd force staying at a longer distance was manned by Lu Sanjiang himself, and under the command of an artillery observer, the artillery was fired!
What happened to the artillery shells fired by the cavalry? Just like the physical education teacher teaching mathematics, the artillery shell landed more than 100 meters away from the Japanese cavalry and exploded.
"Withdraw!" The Japanese cavalrymen pulled their reins and ran sideways.
If one shot is not accurate, what about the next one?
infantry......
Chase slowly, don't fall into the Chinese trap again. Don't you, the brigade commander, have artillery? Use artillery.
Baga! They are all dead. Seeing the fleeing cavalry and the snail-like pursuit of the infantry, Ushijima almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
This is the rhythm that makes Mrs. Niu want to change her surname!
Tang Dao and others, who had slowed down the Japanese, were of course not interested in contending with them within the range of the Japanese artillery. They retreated alternately to 2,000 meters away, mounted their horses, slapped the horses on their butts, and ran away.
In this era, it’s so beautiful not to have a handkerchief! Tang Dao sighed sincerely.
Decades later, if he had dared to do this, he would have been shot to pieces by helicopters with machine guns and rockets from helicopters that arrived upon hearing the sound.
Of course, Major General Mitsuru Ushijima did not change his surname after all.
Because his surname is Ushijima, not Ushijima.
Amaterasu has forgotten his followers now, so it is understandable that his followers would use it to make oaths casually.
