"The Japanese cavalry didn't even notice it when they arrived!"
"Removed!"
"Let him reflect and reflect!"
The brigade commander was angry.
The people sent by Sun Desheng arrived.
The distance is very close, and it only takes more than an hour to gallop.
The Zhao Gang they were looking for was not far away from them at all.
It happened that the cavalry battalion reported before that nothing was found. This was simply perfunctory. There was no careful search at all.
The chief of staff was silent.
He knows why.
The troops were a little proud.
After a continuous fierce battle, the soldiers were also tired.
Commanders at all levels also inevitably have some paralyzing thoughts and feel that they can relax a little.
Someone was careless.
Some people take it lightly.
Everyone makes mistakes. Even the Eighth Route Army is no exception. It depends on who makes fewer mistakes and can remedy them faster.
"Mobilize your troops immediately and quickly outflank the enemy."
"yes!"
"Move quickly! Don't be afraid of hard work or fatigue, and be sure to surround the enemy!"
"yes!"
The chief of staff made arrangements quickly.
The troops are indeed very tired, but the military orders are strong.
The mobilized troops began the turbulent action again, marching quickly to the battlefield.
But the Japanese cavalry also moved very quickly.
They began to retreat rapidly northward.
"The devil wants it!" Chu Yunfei said.
"Now?" Zhang Chu frowned.
"Yes! Now."
"Grass!"
Zhang Chu cursed again.
But it was useless because the Japanese invaders retreated too quickly.
They should also know that there are many Tubal Roads near Cangyun Ridge. Once they fall into the siege of Tubal Roads, they will be doomed.
Suddenly I understood why Zhao Gang and the others had no chance to escape.
The Japanese don't allow it.
They are not here for Zhao Gang.
They should have other purposes. But they are afraid that Zhao Gang and others will leak the news.
Once the surrounding Tuba Road reacts, the Japanese cavalry will be finished.
Seeing that the news could not be concealed, the Japanese cavalry wanted to withdraw.
They are fast. If they retreat north quickly, Tubal Road will not be able to catch them.
All the way to the north is Yanmen Pass. Then Datong.
Datong continues to the north, which is beyond the Great Wall.
The Japanese invaders had a Manchu and Mongolian regiment outside the Great Wall and several cavalry brigades.
Without enough cavalry troops on Tubal Road, it would be impossible to pursue them beyond the Great Wall.
but……
Zhang Chu can.
Anyway, he has nothing to do for the time being.
Decided to chase down the Japanese cavalry all the way and grab more war horses.
It couldn't be afforded before. Now there are Yu County and She County, which should be able to help Li Yunlong expand a cavalry battalion.
right!
Just do it!
"Captain Chu, please go back first!"
"what are you up to?"
"I want to pursue!"
"What? You still want to catch up?"
"right!"
Zhang Chu did not hesitate.
Must chase!
If you can kill one, that's one.
A pair that can kill two is a pair!
"drive!"
Zhang Chu clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward first.
Raise the gun at the same time.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Two shots from a distance.
Killed two Japanese cavalrymen who were responsible for guarding the rear.
However, the other Japanese cavalry did not turn back and shoot. Instead, they accelerated their retreat northward.
He really wanted to run!
And you have to escape as fast as possible!
"superior!"
Sun Desheng waved his hand.
The soldiers of the new cavalry company rushed forward.
"superior!"
Chu Yunfei also waved his hand.
They also rushed forward with the cavalry company of the Jinsui Army.
He can't lose to Zhang Chu.
After all, he was also the leader of a regular regiment of the national army and a top student who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy. How could he lose to Zhang Chu?
"Bah bang bang!"
"Da da da!"
Various gunshots rang out intensively.
Among the Japanese cavalry retreating in front, some were shot and fell to the ground one after another. Soon there were thirty or forty casualties.
The other Japanese cavalrymen saw that they were going the wrong way and immediately turned around to fight back.
A squadron of Japanese cavalry rushed up. There were about a hundred people.
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
The gunfire from the Type 44 rifle was very loud.
The fighting distance between the two sides was about 400 meters, which was completely within the shooting range of the Japanese cavalry.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
People kept getting shot and fell.
There were cavalry from the Eighth Route Army and cavalry from the Shanxi-Sui Army.
In this kind of face-to-face competition, no one can achieve zero casualties. Even if they are fully equipped with Gatling equipment.
It takes courage.
It's all about will.
See who can persist to the end. Whoever is the winner.
"Snapped!"
Someone fell down next to Zhang Chu.
He was a very young warrior. He seemed to be called Li Erniu or something.
It's a pity that he died.
The Japanese bullet accurately hit his chest.
There are more sacrifices or injuries.
Of course, more Japanese cavalry fell. The Eighth Route Army's firepower was stronger.
The cavalry company of the new regiment is all equipped with SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles. At least twenty of them are sniper-type rifles with scopes.
In order to ensure that Sun Desheng would not die from running out of ammunition and food, Zhang Chu was very generous.
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
There are also people who shoot directly with a large plate of chicken.
The cavalry company of the new regiment is not equipped with many large panjis. There are only nine. They usually dismount and shoot.
Dismount and let the war horse lie on the ground. Then place the chicken on top of the war horse and shoot at the enemy.
This is basic operation.
But in an emergency, you can also shoot from horseback.
This requires that the soldier holding the gun must be physically strong and have considerable arm strength. He must be able to stabilize the large chicken.
To be honest, Lao Maozi almost never considers recoil in his weapon design. They don't care anyway. Even if it is a 14.5 mm caliber anti-tank gun, it can be used as soon as it is picked up.
One shot destroyed an arm.
Two shots would have sent him to the hospital.
However, Lao Maozi's weapons also have a very big feature, that is, they are extremely powerful.
Whether it is SVT-40 or Big Pan Chicken, one shot at a time. There is no need for a second shot. Even a war horse has to kneel down on the spot if it is hit by a shot.
"Plop..."
"Plop..."
The sound of horses falling to the ground was endless.
More and more Japanese cavalrymen were thrown to the ground. Life or death was uncertain.
Some people barely stood up.
result……
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
He was immediately shot.
He fell down softly again.
"idiot!"
"The cavalry of Tubal Road!"
"idiot!"
A Japanese cavalry major was furious.
He never expected that such a small group of Tubal cavalry could be so powerful in combat.
I thought I could defeat the opponent by dispatching a squadron.
Unexpectedly, there were almost all casualties.
Although the Tubal cavalry also suffered casualties, the Japanese cavalry suffered more casualties.
In just a few minutes, less than half of the one hundred Japanese cavalry remained. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they still could not approach the Tubal cavalry.
"idiot!"
"Yours!"
"Outflank left and right!"
"Kill Chirp!"
The Japanese cavalry major shouted angrily.
He couldn't let the Tubal cavalry be so arrogant and decided to outflank them.
On the flanks of the Tubal cavalry were the Shanxi-Sui Army cavalry.
The combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army was almost zero. The Japanese army did not take it seriously at all.
As long as the Jinsui Army cavalry's defense line is broken through, the Tubal cavalry can be surrounded.
"Zhang Chu!"
"The devils want to surround us."
Chu Yunfei noticed it immediately and hurriedly raised the alarm.
When the Eighth Route Army cavalry was fighting, Chu Yunfei did not participate in the battle. Instead, he observed the battlefield with a telescope.
This is equally important.
Even more important than shooting the gun yourself.
What is the greatest advantage of the cavalry? It is speed! It is mobility!
Attack deployment can be adjusted at any time!
Can appear in any unexpected location.
Especially good at outflanking or attacking the rear.
Once the Japanese cavalry succeeded in attacking, the situation would immediately take a turn for the worse. They would be completely defeated.
"It's all on you!"
Zhang Chu answered loudly.
Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and picked up a horse four-ring rifle.
