Chapter 253 Crisis turns into a fighter

It was not until a cavalry who escaped the pursuit of the National Salvation Army came over that the cavalry squadron leader realized that his subordinates were suffering from a devastating blow to the National Salvation Army. He quickly ordered the troops to move closer to him and did not give the opponent a chance to defeat them.

As a result, there were only more than 50 cavalry left in more than 140 cavalrymen, and all the other 90 cavalry were missing.

Faced with this result, the squadron leader could only temporarily change his previous orders and let the troops stare at Zhangzhuang Town from a distance. When they encounter a small team sent by the National Salvation Army, they must assemble more than twice the advantage of the troops, otherwise they must not launch an attack, so as not to cause trouble.

Under the attack of the Japanese new tactics, a small team was unfortunately wiped out, but the Japanese were killed at least fifteen cavalry.

Zhou Cheng, who received the news, changed the tactics.

The squad was compressed into three, and there were still ten soldiers, but equipped with a Czech-made light machine gun, three submachine guns, and twelve box guns. On average, each veteran was equipped with two box guns. When encountering an enemy, he fired his bow left and right, and two pistols shot the enemy together, and used powerful firepower to make up for the insufficient troops of the squad.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, after confirming that a 10-member team of the National Salvation Army left the town, the Japanese who witnessed all this immediately contacted the surrounding cavalry and prepared to surround them.

When the squad left the town one kilometer, there were more than twenty cavalry gathered behind the squadron, with a force far exceeding twice the squadron leader's requirement.

Lead the cavalry captain decisively ordered the troops to launch an attack.

After the team changed its combat mode, the combat goals also changed.

In addition to attacking the Japanese cavalry, the previous operations also required to find ways to seize their war horses, which led to the soldiers being held back when they fired.

Now everyone has no concerns.

The regiment commander Zhou Cheng made it clear: the current task of the squad is to kill the remaining cavalry of the Japanese. As for whether they can seize the war horses, it doesn't matter.

Facing the cavalry rushing towards him, the machine gunner was the first to start a counterattack.

When shooting a man, shoot the horse first, and hold the fire at the most concentrated position of the war horse.

The Czech Republic's speed of fire is much faster than that of a crooked handle, and it is not easy to get stuck.

After pulling the trigger, in just three seconds, a round of bullets was knocked out, and twenty bullets flew towards the Japanese in fan shape. Two war horses were hit on the spot, and they smashed the ground with their men and horses, making a thunderous collision sound.

After the magazine was knocked out, the machine gunner skillfully disassembled it and quickly loaded the backup magazine next to it. Pull the bolt again, aim it briefly and continue shooting.

If the infantry is intercepted by machine guns, the offensive troops will definitely look for cover on the spot and will not give the machine gunner a second chance to shoot himself.

Cavalry are different. They defeat their opponents by speed advantage during the assault. After being attacked, they continue to rush forward and use the shortest time to kill the opponent's position to reduce their losses.

When the machine gun was fired for the second time, they had already rushed to fifty meters away. Compared with the biggest change just now, the formation was more scattered, and the machine gunners of the national rescue army did not give the opportunity to sweep a large area as soon as they fired.

But the machine gunner still shot two cavalry in succession through two long shots.

When the machine gunner changed the magazine the second time, the submachine gunner who surrounded the machine gun fired.

"Dadada..." Three Jin-made submachine guns joined the battle at the same time.

Compared with the prototype gun Thomson, the Jinfa submachine gun has a longer barrel and a longer effective range. Within 30 to 40 meters, the bullets flying at high speed can easily drill several blood holes on the war horse.

A total of sixty bullets were fired out in less than three seconds, and an airtight firepower net was woven in front of the machine gun position.

Adhering to the method of shooting people first, at least one-third of the bullet drilled into the body of the war horse.

There was a neighing sound in front of the formation, and there were constant rumbling sounds, which were the sound of cavalry and horses smashing to the ground together.

At one glance, at least six cavalrymen were killed.

Although the remaining cavalry continued to rush forward, there was a trace of fear in their eyes.

When the submachine gunners began to change bullets, the riflemen equipped with box cannons finally joined the battle to ensure that there were always dense bullets flying out of the position.

The effective range of the box cannon was closest, but the cavalry had rushed to twenty or thirty meters away. The veterans who were sure of using double guns, and those who were not sure of using single guns. A total of eight box cannons fired at the same time. The flying bullets were denser than before, and they bumped into the rushing horses and cavalry and drilled into their bodies.

When more and more cavalry were killed, the Czech Republic had already replaced the magazine and joined the battle again. After two seconds, three submachine guns also joined the battle.

The last cavalry fell less than ten meters away from the machine gun position, and the war horses were filled with bullet holes, almost as sieves.

As soon as the gunshot stopped, a strong smell of blood floated over from the front.

A total of 22 Japanese corpses and 15 war horses fell in front of everyone, and seven war horses that had lost their master stood alone on the position, licking the blood flowing out of their master with their tongues...

"Machine guns and submachine gunmen are on guard. Others seize the time to clean the battlefield. Get the weapons, ammunition and the alive war horses back first, and then get the killed war horses in a while!" The commander of the team led the commander.

In Zhangzhuang Town, the happiest person today is undoubtedly the cavalry company commander Tao Yongsheng.

Although the war horses that the squad kept pulling back to the town were not belonged to the cavalry company, based on his own experience, even if these war horses really formed direct cavalry platoons for the two battalions, when encountering a large-scale use of cavalry, the regiment commander would definitely strengthen the two cavalry platoons to the cavalry company and be under his own command. This is equivalent to the fact that these two cavalry platoons are still their own subordinates, but they usually have more superiors.

Zhou Cheng and Chen Zhengyu were also very happy. The Japanese did not learn a lesson. Facing a small team equipped with a large number of box cannons and submachine guns, they had almost no power to resist.

If the Japanese army had not temporarily changed their fighting style, at most half an hour, the remaining cavalry outside the town would have been killed by the team.

After losing a small team from the new Japanese tactics, Zhou Cheng decisively adjusted the tactics. At this moment, on the battlefield outside the town, the small team was using the adjusted tactics to fight against the new tactics of the Japanese tactics.

As the maker of the entire combat plan, although Zhou Cheng was very sure, any accident on the battlefield could happen. Zhou Cheng did not dare to guarantee that the team could win 100%, so he could only stay at the command center and wait for news.

"I'm back, the commander, the second team is back, and I've brought back seven war horses, full of equipment, and there are quite a few ten warriors!" Liang Hongjiang, who was waiting for news at the entrance of the town, rushed in with an excited look on his face.

"The Japanese cavalry outside the town are finished!" Zhou Chengchangshu answered in one breath.

"Before changing the tactics, we killed nearly a hundred cavalry. After changing the tactics, the Japanese must assemble more than twice the strength to attack us. This means that the Second Team killed at least twenty Japanese cavalry just now."

"As long as one or two teams kill some cavalry and come back, the cavalry that was active outside the town will be beaten away by us."

“Buzz buzz…”

After listening to this analysis, Chen Zhengyu had no time to be happy, a roar suddenly reached everyone's ears.

He was so familiar with this sound. In yesterday's battle, the Japanese planes hovered over the battlefield with this sound, constantly bombing the national rescue troops, causing heavy casualties to the first battalion.

His face immediately became heavy, and he looked at Zhou Cheng and reminded: "Captain, the Japanese plane is here!"

"It just so happened that the Japanese cavalry troops were almost wiped out by us. I suggest that the troops immediately break into pieces and evacuate Zhangzhuang Town, so that the Japanese who came from Donghui Town could be wiped out!"

Zhou Cheng did not answer the conversation immediately. He thought for a while before answering: "I want to withdraw, but not all!"

"Reconnaissance Company reported that the Japanese who successfully broke through Zhangzhuang Town almost exploded all the extra shells in order to take away more heavy weapons. Even if they arrived in Donghui Town, they could not solve the problem of Japanese ammunition in urgent need."

"The logistics supply lines from the county town to the two towns will not be opened for a day, and the Japanese ammunition problem will not be solved in one day. When they arrive in Zhangzhuang Town, they will be unable to attack because they have no ammunition. They can only send heavy troops to surround the town and wait until the ammunition is in place before attacking."

"For us, this is another great opportunity to attack the Japanese and defeat them one by one."

Seeing that Chen Zhengyu frowned deeper and deeper, he seemed not to understand his meaning, Zhou Cheng continued to explain: "The Japanese army has no ammunition and cannot attack here. If we leave some troops in the town as a lie, the Japanese army will definitely divide their troops to surround the town."

"The town is so big, there are four entrances and exits alone. The distance between the encirclement troops must be very far, so the operational space here will be large!"

Chen Zhengyu understood it, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. When Zhou Chengyi finished speaking, he was anxious to be perverted: "I understand, and I completely agree with this idea!"

"The combat effectiveness of our National Salvation Army is there. The Japanese want to block the entrances and exits and persevere until the reinforcements come. At least one reinforcement team is stationed at each entrance and exit. With our current combat effectiveness and equipment, we will definitely be able to eat the encirclement forces before the Japanese reinforcements arrive."

Surprisingly, Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Chief of Staff, your appetite is too small. What's the use of eating those encirclement troops?"

"Even if we eat all four encirclement troops, we will only eliminate more than 200 Japanese devils, which is not enough to hurt the Japanese army."

"If we want to eat, we will eat it together with the reinforcements they sent, and we will not even leave the scum to the Japanese."

"You must follow me to fight outside the town, so the commander who stays in the town must make other arrangements!"

"In order to make them act more like the main force, they deceived Donghui Town to kill the main force, at least two main force companies, two mortars, and two heavy machine guns in the town!"

"Is there any good candidate for the first battalion?"

Chen Zhengyu has been observing Dong Fei for a long time. He has to admit that the old Red Army who has walked through the Long March has rich combat experience, and is calm and calm when encountering problems. Unlike Xiang Feng, who was a new recruit, he starts to panic when he encounters a little emergency.

Looking at the entire battalion, he is qualified to stand alone.

Chen Zhengyu decided to give him a chance and looked at Zhou Cheng and replied: "Deputy Battalion Commander Dong is good, I think I can keep him!"

"The entire first battalion, plus the 150 prisoners who have just been added, are less than 350 people left, which is a little more than the two main companies before the war. It is better to stay in the town and bluff!"

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Then keep Dong Fei and the First Battalion, and then leave two heavy machine guns and two mortars. The other troops will immediately break into pieces and all evacuated from Zhangzhuang Town within two hours."

"Guardian, notify Deputy Battalion Commander Dong of the First Battalion to come to the command center immediately!"
