Li Wensheng was very dissatisfied with this cavalry-versus-cavalry strategy, but he couldn't think of any other way to break the situation, so he had no choice but to accept the order.
Just when he was about to give the order with a worried look, the officer in charge of intelligence work suddenly broke in: "Regiment Commander, Chief of Staff, something happened to our armed workers team operating in enemy-occupied areas!"
"The Japanese used the weapons, ammunition and supplies sent to the front as bait to attract the armed workers to attack... The infantry followed the baggage train and waited for the armed workers to appear and suddenly launched an attack..."
"In just three days, one of our armed workers' teams was wiped out, another one was severely damaged, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition were lost!"
"boom……"
After hearing this, Kong Jie became anxious and punched the table in front of him: "When will the Japanese know how to fish... You bastards, you can eat two of my armed forces teams in one bite..."
"They are all formed by elite members from independent regiments, and they have good equipment. It is a pity to lose so many people at once!"
"The Japs have a very clear purpose. They plan to clear out the occupied areas before the sweep to prevent the armed workers from destroying their rear area!"
"Immediately contact all our armed workers' teams lurking in enemy-occupied areas... The Japanese and puppet army's network has been opened, and we must not be fooled again... All our armed workers' teams are on standby and will not come out until the Japanese army's sweep begins!"
"
"Captain...I have an idea!" Huang Yu quickly read the information and said with an idea.
"The Japanese want to use weapons and ammunition as bait to annihilate our armed workers lurking in enemy-occupied areas..."
"We can also use the armed workers' corps as bait to kill the troops used by the Japanese to attack the armed workers' corps..."
"Weren't you just worried that the cavalry company was facing the enemy's cavalry unit head-on? We inserted the cavalry company into the enemy-occupied area and cooperated with the armed workers team to raid the Japanese ambush..."
"You can also send two mortar platoons to cooperate with the cavalry..."
"After the battle begins, first use mortars to blow them up, and then the cavalry will make a surprise attack. The little devils from the two infantry squadrons will not be able to match them."
"When the cavalry company kills a few more Japs and destroys more ammunition and baggage in enemy-occupied areas, the prestige of the cavalry company will naturally be established."
"All the little devils who participated in the raids will know that our independent regiment has a cavalry unit that makes them fearful."
"When the sweep begins, the cavalry company joins the battle, which will inevitably attract the attention of the Japanese cavalry regiment. Then we will gather heavy troops to surround the cavalry company. We will have a good opportunity to completely annihilate the Japanese cavalry regiment!"
"What if the Japanese army dispatches cavalry to coordinate with the baggage corps to design a military engineering corps?" Chief of Staff Li Wensheng expressed his concern.
"Let the cavalry company destroy them!" Huang Yu replied.
"If a cavalry company wants to scare the Japanese, it must be able to fight not only the infantry, but also the cavalry. Only in this way can the Japanese pay enough attention."
"The more attention they pay to the cavalry company, the greater our chances of annihilating the Japanese cavalry regiment once the counter-mopping begins!"
"The idea is good, but does the cavalry company have the strength?" Li Wensheng continued to ask.
"The main task of the cavalry company is to serve as a decoy to bring the Japanese cavalry unit into our preset pocket formation. This means that their current actions cannot cause too many casualties..." With the current combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, it is capable of fighting against the Japanese
Head-to-head?"
"As long as the battlefield is selected, the layout is appropriate, and a certain amount of infantry is added to cooperate, the cavalry will not have any problem even facing off against the Japanese with a squadron of cavalry!"
"Captain, if we let the cavalry company stay on the blockade to fight guerrillas with the Japanese cavalry, we would probably not even have the chance to choose the battlefield when faced with a cavalry regiment with an absolute advantage in strength, and we might even be defeated by the Japanese cavalry regiments one by one.
.”
"It's different to go straight behind enemy lines!"
"We can choose a battlefield suitable for cavalry assault to ambush the Japanese baggage train and maximize the terrain advantage."
"If the regiment commander trusts me, the assault company is willing to cooperate with the cavalry company to penetrate behind the enemy lines. As long as the regiment headquarters strengthens and gives us two mortar platoons..."
"I promise to cooperate with the cavalry company to turn the enemy-occupied area upside down, so that the Japanese will be frightened when they hear about the cavalry company of the independent regiment..."
"If the Japanese army gathers a large number of troops to deal with us, the troops will return to the base immediately and will never hesitate to fight!"
Seeing Huang Yu's assurance, Kong Jie was finally moved. She stared into his eyes and asked, "How sure are you..."
"As long as the regiment commander agrees to strengthen our two mortar platoons, I'm 90% sure!" Huang Yu answered confidently.
"You must pay attention to the timing of your actions, and don't be greedy for credit in enemy-occupied areas... Once the reputation of the cavalry company is out, withdraw to the defense area... If you can do this, I will let you go..." Kong Jie finally confessed.
"Don't worry, captain, I can distinguish the important from the important..."
Tangzhuang is the only way for the Japanese army's baggage teams to transport ammunition and supplies to the mopping up troops. Starting last night, the village has been occupied by the assault company, and everyone is only allowed to enter and not leave.
Tian Guiren, the captain of the martial arts team who was active nearby, Zhang Dashan, the cavalry company commander, and Zhang Yong, the mortar platoon leader, all stood at the entrance of the village waiting for Huang Yu to give orders!
"Captain Tian..." Huang Yu first looked at the captain of the martial arts team.
"I will ask the first platoon of the assault company to cooperate with you and ambush the Japanese army's transport team in the east of the village!"
"The cavalry company is lying in ambush in the village, and based on the sound of cannons, it quickly rushes out of the village and surprises the little Japanese ambush behind the baggage train!"
"The mortar platoon set up artillery in the village, aimed at the road 200 meters away to the west of the village, and suddenly opened fire after the Japanese ambush entered the shelling area..."
"Each cannon fires five rounds rapidly. Use the fastest speed to drive the shells into the Japanese ambush and explode them..."
"This process takes about half a minute, which is enough for the cavalry company to kill the Japanese in front of them and increase the assault speed to the extreme..."
"As soon as the sound of artillery stops, the cavalry will take the opportunity to rush into the Japanese army... No matter how fierce the little devil is, you will kill him to pieces..."
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a baggage convoy consisting of twenty large vehicles finally appeared at the end of the road at the entrance of the village. More than forty baggage soldiers escorted the vehicles. Most of the baggage soldiers were disguised as puppet troops, and they were wary of the surroundings as they advanced.
They knew that they were the bait arranged by Major General Miyazawa, and they were very scared, especially the puppet troops in the team!
But military orders are hard to disobey, and there are real little devils watching next to you. If you are not careful, you will be killed, so you can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward.
Tangzhuang is right next to the highway. In order to lure the armed workers out, they did not have any intention of going in for investigation. They continued directly through the entrance of the village at a very fast speed...
After walking more than two hundred meters, the military workers took action.
Seven light machine guns fired together, and the dense rain of bullets killed nearly half of the Japanese and puppet troops in an instant...
The Japanese ambush soldiers behind became very excited as soon as they heard the sound of gunshots. As if they were on stimulants, they rushed forward with guns in hand and ran very fast.
"Commander Huang, a Japanese ambush has appeared. A reinforced squadron, equipped with a mortar and a heavy machine gun..." Zhang Dashan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the little Japanese.
This was the first time that the cavalry company faced off against a full infantry force since the formation of the cavalry company. Thinking about it made me feel excited. I gripped my saber tightly and waited for Huang Yu to give the order.
"The whole cavalry company is on horseback, ready to attack..."
"The artillery platoon is ready to fire...the Japanese heavy machine guns and mortars will fire as soon as they enter the artillery area, and the cavalry will take the opportunity to rush out and kill the Japanese ambush..."
"The assault company is on alert and on standby..."
After the Japs successfully killed one martial arts team and severely damaged another, the other little Japs who had not yet achieved results all screamed anxiously and wanted to kill one or two of the martial arts teams.
Today we finally encountered the martial arts team taking action. No one wanted to miss this good opportunity to make great achievements...
Each of them ran faster than a rabbit, trying to get into trouble with the military workers as soon as possible to prevent them from retreating in front of the battle and escaping from everyone's eyes...
Nearly two hundred little devils, without any warning, rushed forward desperately with guns in hand, but little did they know that one of their feet had already stepped into hell.
"The artillery fired...the cavalry company...began to attack..."
"Everything..."
The six mortars lined up in a row roared first, and a row of six shells flew into the sky at the same time, accurately hitting the predetermined road section...
In the explosion of "Boom...", a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown away instantly like toys in a paper lake...
The heavy machine guns and mortars carried on their shoulders hit the ground at the same time...
"How could there be artillery bombardment on Bageya Road... Could it be that the armed workers team we encountered today were equipped with mortars... How is this possible?" the squadron leader of the Japanese team said with a surprised look on his face.
"Rumble..."
As soon as I lay down on the ground, the second round of shells had already followed...
"The cavalry company... kill..."
Zhang Dashan suddenly drew his saber, pointed towards the village entrance and shouted.
He kicked the war horse's belly hard with both feet at the same time. The horse stopped at the entrance of the village instantly started to move and trotted out of the village, getting faster and faster...
More than a hundred cavalry followed closely behind, raising their sabers and charging toward the battlefield.
The squadron leader, who was suffering under artillery fire, soon noticed the sound of horse hooves coming from the entrance of the village.
The sound grew louder and closer, and the road beneath my feet began to tremble with the rumble of horse hooves.
The squadron leader's face instantly turned pale, and he shouted with a look of despair: "It's the cavalry, there are cavalry charging towards us..."
"Hurry up and set up the machine guns to block them. Don't let the cavalry come over, otherwise all of us will be killed..."
"Rumble..."
Before the squadron leader finished speaking, the third round of shells had already fallen, and the violent explosion almost shattered his eardrums...
As for the order just now, except for a few soldiers around him, not even the subordinates who were twenty or thirty meters away heard it.
"Boom, boom..." The fifth round of shells fell quickly, and several more Japanese were knocked to the ground, and there was no movement in an instant.
"The enemy's artillery fire has stopped...immediately move closer to me, build a defense line on the spot, and block the enemy's attack..." The desperate squadron leader regained hope of living and ordered while getting up from the ground...
The battlefield was still filled with gunpowder smoke and it was difficult to see anything clearly, but dozens of subordinates still gathered towards him, bringing with them a valuable crooked weapon, which gave the squadron leader a lot of confidence.
