Chapter 218 It is impossible to escape with wings!
At this moment, a Japanese cavalryman rode over and shouted loudly: "Reporting to Your Majesty the Regiment Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander ordered us to clear the minefield as soon as possible. The infantry troops will arrive soon and let them take charge of the attack."
The cavalry commander couldn't help but frowned and said: "The division commander just asked us to clear the minefield, but with so many mines and enemy troops blocking them, it is so easy to clean them up."
A Japanese officer next to him said quickly: "Your Excellency, Wing Commander, I'm afraid there is only one way now, and that is to use war horses to clear the mines."
The Japanese cavalry commander said: "The division commander probably meant this when he gave us such an order."
"It seems that we have no other choice. The entire division is now in danger. If we don't break out as soon as possible, we will be in trouble."
"Give me the order to mobilize some horses, tie heavy objects behind the horses, and clear the mines. The minefield must be cleared as soon as possible."
"Hai!"
A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.
The little devil immediately dispatched a group of war horses. In order to achieve better results, the little devil asked these horses to pull some heavy objects behind them, so that the area to be cleaned would be larger. After all, the horses' hooves are so big. If they run over, they will definitely
There are some omissions.
These war horses are also extremely precious to the Japanese cavalry, but at this moment, they can only sacrifice these war horses.
If they don't break through the eight-pronged defense line as soon as possible, I'm afraid their entire division will have to stay here.
No matter how important the war horse is, no one is important!
The Japanese cavalry commander couldn't help but sigh and said, "Let's get started!"
"Hai!"
Following the Japanese colonel's order, a group of war horses were driven towards Huanglong Ridge.
The war horses gradually joined in and rushed into the minefield without hesitation.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions continued to sound, landmines were constantly being detonated, and war horses were constantly blown to the ground, neighing in pain. The scene was also very miserable.
On Huanglong Ridge, Li Yunlong saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey~! What a good war horse! It's a pity that it was wasted like this."
Monk Wei couldn't help but scolded: "It's all these little devils' fault that they have to use war horses to clear mines."
Li Yunlong said: "It seems that these little devils were forced to use this method to clear mines."
"Go down with the order and get ready to fight! I guess the Japs' infantry will be here soon."
"yes!"
The Japs lost more than 300 horses and finally cleared a way to attack.
In order to ensure absolute safety, the Japanese cavalry commander sent out engineers to conduct careful inspections.
However, as soon as the Japanese engineers came up and were discovered by the Eighth Route Army, they would be shot coldly. Even if they were careful, they could not dodge the bullets that might fly at any time. In just a short period of time, seven or eight Japanese engineers were killed.
.
At this moment, the Japanese infantry also rushed to the vicinity of Huanglongling.
After these little Japanese infantry arrived, they immediately spread out on the spot and prepared to launch an attack on Huanglong Ridge.
The Japanese cavalry regiment also mobilized some troops to join the attacking team. At this time, the cavalry could only fight on foot.
Although the riding speed is fast, the target is also large. When the machine gun is swept, it is basically a large area, and you can't hide even if you want to.
This is also the main reason why all countries are now eliminating cavalry.
Thousands of little Japs were on the front lines, ready to attack.

At this time, the Japs also deployed mortars and began to bombard the Eighth Route Army position on Huanglong Ridge.
"Dong dong dong~!"
A series of dull artillery sounds sounded, and the artillery shells flew towards the Eighth Route Army's position one after another.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire rose up. The Japanese artillery fire was still quite fierce, and the frontier position was soon enveloped by the Japanese artillery fire.
Li Yunlong immediately shouted an order: "Immediately order the artillery to concentrate the artillery fire on me, aim at the Japanese mortar position, and bombard me hard. Kill their mortars."
"yes!"
Monk Wei responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, you still dare to be arrogant in front of me, let's see how I deal with you."
Following Li Yunlong's order, a rumble of artillery fire rang out again from the mortar positions of the Eighth Route Army.
Artillery shells flew to the Japanese position one after another, and the Japanese mortars that were still arrogant just now were once again covered by artillery fire.
A Japanese officer angrily cursed: "Baga Yalu, these Tubal soldiers are so cunning, they actually moved the artillery positions."
The Eighth Route Army had just used mortars to conduct a round of artillery fire coverage, knocking out the mortars and heavy machine guns of the cavalry regiment.
But this is tantamount to exposing the location, and the little devil also noted the approximate location.
During this shelling, the mortar positions of the Eighth Route Army became the focus of the Japs' attack, but it was a pity.
The Eighth Route Army had just moved their positions, so the mortars were intact, and they fired five rounds in rapid succession, covering the enemy's mortar positions.
The Japs were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses immediately, including almost heavy losses to their mortars.
At this time, the mortars from the Eighth Route Army aimed at the gathering place of the Japs and launched another indiscriminate bombardment.
The shells were like raindrops, falling one after another into the crowd of Japanese soldiers.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions continued to sound, and the little Japanese who were preparing to attack were suddenly knocked over by the bombs, leaving many dead and injured.
They had no defensive position here at all. They were suddenly attacked and had no place to hide. Moreover, in order to prepare for the attack, these devils gathered together and the personnel were relatively dense, so the effect of this round of shelling was quite good.
Just like that, the little devil's attack was completely over before it even started.
At this time, Guan Dashan next to him couldn't help but said: "Captain, are we hitting you too hard?"
"You won't scare the little devil away!"
"Hehe~!"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "Now that the little Japanese have lost the battle and are eager to retreat to the source of the river, their morale must be low. The harder we fight, the more scared they will be."
"But your worries are not unreasonable. These little devils may really be scared away."
"But if they change their ways now, it will probably be too late."
"Besides, even if they really take a detour, we can still deal with them."
"In a word, the 37th Division now has no chance of escaping."
