"The troops dispersed to break out of the encirclement and assemble at Xiaoli Village, four kilometers east of Yangquan City!" Major Fujiwara thought of a way to minimize the casualties of the troops.
"The enemy only has three armored vehicles. It is impossible to separate them. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot chase all of us. The more dispersed the troops are, the smaller our losses will be!"
The two squadron leaders on the left and right also felt that breaking out by spreading out was the only way to get out of the predicament, and they did not notice the cavalry and infantry hiding behind the armored vehicles.
If they knew, they would never choose to divide their forces, but there is no regret in the world.
The 1st Squadron of Fujiwara Battalion has lost two infantry squadrons, and there is still one squadron standing in front of the 2nd Squadron.
They immediately divided into three and retreated towards both sides of the road, trying to attract the three armored vehicles driven by the assault platoon.
But they underestimated the independent group's appetite.
The task Kong Jie gave them was to kill from beginning to end, penetrate the entire team of Japs, and completely defeat the entire Fujiwara brigade. They would definitely not give up hundreds of Japs on the road just to kill dozens of Japs.
Not pursuing them did not mean that the three armored vehicles let them go. The vehicle-mounted machine guns and crooked guns distributed on the sides of the armored vehicles had no target to shoot at.
As soon as dozens of Japs dispersed, they joined the battle, specifically targeting the Japs who left the road. The three tanks continued to attack along the road...
Those little devils who were lucky enough to escape the range of the machine gun didn't mean they could survive.
The cavalry company and the first battalion following the armored vehicle have already come over and may kill them at any time...
Seeing that the three armored vehicles were not led away by the First Squadron, Major Fujiwara couldn't help but cursed "Baga!" and had to let the Second Squadron continue to disperse and break out...
At the beginning, the three armored vehicles did disperse. Major Fujiwara was very happy and felt that his goal was achieved, but they were not completely dispersed as he thought, and he followed them to chase them.
It just widens the distance between the chariots, from more than ten meters at the beginning to thirty or forty meters now.
The distance between the tanks increased, and the killing range of the vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns increased accordingly, causing more and more Japanese soldiers to die on the breakout road... However, the direction of the armored vehicle's assault did not change, and they continued to attack along the road...
"Cavalry company... kill me..." Cavalry company commander Zhang Dashan took action at the right time...
With a saber in hand, he led the cavalry squad towards a group of little devils.
They were a detachment from the 2nd Squadron of the Fujiwara Brigade. Five or six of them were killed by armored vehicles, and there were only about 20 people left. They planned to stay away from the road and completely get rid of the Eighth Route Army before going to the assembly area.
The cavalry company rushed faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder...
The twenty or so little devils finally became alert. They clenched their sabers tightly and looked cautiously in the direction of the sound of horse hooves.
By the time they saw Zhang Dashan's figure clearly, the cavalry squad had already reached forty or fifty meters away, and their charging speed had increased to the extreme. They would be in front of them in a few seconds.
"It's the cavalry... shoot right away, stop them... otherwise we will all be killed..." a Cao commander shouted in silence, and fired at the same time with the rifle in his hand.
However, the cavalry was too fast, their silhouettes were erratic, and the night was also a great influence. As a result, the bullets fired by Cao Chang did not hit the target.
The cavalry squad took the opportunity to rush forward for more than ten meters. Everyone raised their sabers high and prepared for the final charge...
"The cavalry is already in front of us. It's too late to shoot to stop them... All of us, bayonets on, come forward to meet them..." Commander Cao, who was reasonably sane, ordered.
"There aren't many people on the other side... After a round of charging, we will break out and break out. Run as many as we can..." The Japanese team leader held the command knife tightly with both hands and looked straight ahead, ready to fight.
Zhang Dashan took the lead and rushed to the front, eyeing the Japs squad leader holding the command knife at a glance.
Keep your body as close to the horse's back as possible, hold the reins tightly, move the blade forward, continue to speed up the assault, and go straight towards the Japanese second lieutenant...
"kill……"
The huge inertia brought by the war horse makes his sword shooting speed extremely fast.
The Japanese second lieutenant originally planned to strike preemptively and chop the horse's leg with a knife, causing Zhang Dashan to lose his mount, and then fight to the death.
Facing the saber that was rapidly slashing at his neck, he had to temporarily change his fighting style and use all his strength to block with the saber...
"Bangdang..."
The saber and the command knife collided head-on. The Japanese second lieutenant instantly felt a very powerful force pass from the handle to his hands, and then to his arm...
The tiger's mouth was shattered by the shock, and he took three steps back before regaining his balance.
A flash of surprise quickly flashed across Zhang Dashan's face. He didn't expect his opponent to be able to block the knife he slashed with all his strength.
She quickly sheathed the knife, turned her wrist, and moved the blade back. The moment the war horse passed by the second lieutenant, she pulled it back hard. The sharp blade finally broke through the little Japanese soldier's uniform, leaving a long trail of blood on his back.
Kouzi...
Although it is not fatal immediately, it is enough to cost him half of his life and more than half of his combat effectiveness...
When the cavalry from behind takes action, he can only be beaten passively...
On the field battlefield, cavalry has an irreducible advantage over infantry.
This is also the most important reason why Kong Jie dared to let a cavalry force that lasted for more than half a month go to the battlefield.
With the blessing of speed, even if the cavalry has not yet learned how to chop immediately, they can still kill two Japs with a hard collision.
Unless the speed of the cavalry slows down, these little devils equipped with 38-meter caps will only die of being slaughtered.
Eleven cavalrymen whizzed past the Japs... No one or one horse was lost, but eight men fell down on the Japs side, including the second lieutenant and squad leader.
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers were frightened and scattered in groups of two or three, quickly fleeing around.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The sound of light machine gun and submachine gun fire suddenly sounded not far away, and eight or nine tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the night, some long and some short, and the hail of bullets flew straight towards the little Japanese who had just divided their forces...
Two or three Japanese soldiers would have to endure the crazy fire from a light machine gun and a submachine gun.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, the Japanese were beaten into a hornet's nest, without even a chance to lie down and take cover!
"Rumble..."
The three armored vehicles continued to advance with a roar.
The hail of bullets has created a fire net three hundred meters wide in front of them. Any little Japs caught in the fire net will either die or be injured.
The Japanese artillery squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron had just moved out of the artillery coverage area. Before the panting artillerymen and machine gunners could react to the aftermath, the firepower net from the armored vehicles had already swept across from the front...
"It's an armored vehicle...immediately disperse to both sides of the road and retreat...run!" the surviving artillery squadron leader ordered urgently.
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire became louder and louder, and the enemy knew as soon as they heard it that the armored vehicle wanted to output a little more firepower before they escaped from the range of the machine gun. Their escape speed continued to accelerate, and they didn't want to die here...
The mortar parts carried on the shoulders affect the speed too much, so just throw them away...
The ammunition box carried on the body affects the speed too much, so just throw it away...
Some people thought that the light machine gun was too heavy, so they just threw it away and ran for their lives holding the bastard box...
This scene is what Huang Yu likes to see the most.
The more weapons they throw away, the weaker the Japs will be in self-protection when faced with cavalry and infantry assaults, and the closer they will be to defeat.
Decisively increase the power of the armored vehicle and kill the two infantry squadrons behind...
They were the last to join the battle, but only two or three minutes longer than the two infantry squadrons in front.
When the assault platoon came over, there was not a single Japs on the road. They all moved to both sides of the road in small groups...
The Japs who reacted quickly had already gone three to four hundred meters, and the ones who reacted slowly also ran two to three hundred meters.
Huang Yu immediately decided to divide his troops, drove an armored vehicle off the road without hesitation, and killed a group of Japs.
The remaining two tanks knew that this was a signal from the platoon leader to split up their forces and chase the little Japs.
An armored vehicle stared at a group of Japs and pursued them without hesitation.
The cavalry company and first battalion that subsequently attacked were divided into three, and followed the three armored vehicles to kill the remaining Japanese...
Major Fujiwara and an infantry squad broke through, losing only eight or nine soldiers before escaping from the effective range of the armored vehicles.
Just when he thought the crisis had been resolved and could rush to the assembly area, two cavalry squads suddenly came towards him.
Under the desperate protection of the guards, Major Fujiwara was lucky to survive and even killed two Eighth Route Army cavalry during the battle.
Feeling lucky, he quickly led the remaining men towards the assembly area.
He had just run thirty or forty meters when a line of machine gun fire suddenly blocked his way.
The surrounding area was like a detonated powder keg, with more than a dozen light machine guns popping up instantly...
There was an unobstructed view of the land under his feet, and there was not even a place to hide. Bullets flew towards him, killing more than a dozen of his subordinates in an instant.
Major Fujiwara was thrown to the ground by his subordinates and escaped death, but there were not many soldiers left who could move...
The body was also suppressed by the hail of bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army, without even a chance to raise its head...
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming towards us!" the only lieutenant officer left beside him shouted desperately.
"We were fooled by the Eighth Route Army!" Major Fujiwara yelled through gritted teeth. Only then did he realize that he had underestimated the strength and appetite of the Eighth Route Army.
"In addition to armored vehicles, there are also cavalry and infantry here..."
"First use armored vehicles to rush us, and the cavalry will follow and attack, and continue to scatter us. When our troops are in chaos, the infantry will join the battle and end the battle..."
"What a powerful attack... Such a cunning Eighth Route Army, no wonder Yangquan County only lasted for a while before losing contact!"
"We were not defeated unjustly!"
"The Eighth Route Army's firepower is too strong, and there is definitely no hope of breaking out... But the Imperial Japanese Army only has warriors who died in battle, and no cowards who were taken prisoner..."
Major Fujiwara was dead. He still wanted to fight the Eighth Route Army in hand-to-hand combat with a command knife in his hand.
But the Independent Regiment didn't give him this chance. As soon as he stood up from the ground, he was beaten into a hornet's nest by submachine gun bullets...
His eyes were round and he fell to the ground with a dead look on his face...
Kong Jie has used up two bullet magazines, and not only ten but also five or six Japs died in his hands...
Following the first battalion, they rushed forward quickly, rushing forward five to six hundred meters in ten minutes, running through the entire Japanese team...
