The Eighth Route Army cavalry rushed over from the left and right wings of the Japanese position.
The horse's hooves rolled and the sword flashed.
At this time, although the bombers and fighter jets had flown away, the Japanese position was still a sea of fire, and it was impossible for the cavalry battalion to charge into the sea of fire.
On the hilltop occupied by a few Japanese soldiers, there were flames and smoke billowing everywhere, and anything that the sparks touched would burn.
Fortunately, the terrain around here is all bare loess, with only a few drought-resistant shrubs and exposed rocks. If there was a forest, it would definitely cause a fire.
Several regiments of infantry followed the cavalry and launched a full-scale counterattack against the remaining Japanese.
Not long after, the figures of the cavalry disappeared from the field of vision of Li Yunlong's telescope.
…
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the telegram has been sent."
From the 9th Brigade Headquarters, communications staff officer Kenjiro Maruta paid his respects to Torasuke Etsui.
Koshiki Toranosuke's figure looked a little stooped, and his face was as gray as ashes, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
There was only a squadron of escorts and a communications team left by his side.
The entire 9th Brigade, which numbered more than 8,000 people, had been beaten for several battles, and now only about 200 people were left. Except for some wounded soldiers, most of them died in the battle.
The loss was too great. Koshiki Toranosuke's heart had been tempered in the war to be as cold and hard as a rock, and he could not bear such a big blow for a while.
Koshio Toranosuke ordered: "Transfer in immediately!"
"Brigade commander." The combat staff officer looked hesitant and asked, "Where to transfer?"
Yuesheng Huzhizhi said: "Go to the Huting stronghold!"
The combat staff officer then said: "Commander of the brigade, I suggest turning to the north, so that we will soon meet up with the 37th Division, and we will be safe."
"what do you know?"
Koshio Toranosuke said coldly: "There is still a basic amount of ammunition from the 9th Brigade at the Huting stronghold. This batch of ammunition must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. We must go to the Huting stronghold to dispose of this batch of weapons and ammunition.
"
This time the 9th Brigade brought two bases of ammunition.
Prepare to wait for Masuko to advance into the team and complete the beheading of the Eighth Route Army, while the various units of the Eighth Route Army are in a situation where they are fighting on their own.
Then, together with the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division, they attacked from three sides and wiped out the Eighth Route Base Area in one fell swoop.
When they went out to fight, the soldiers and artillerymen only carried one base amount of ammunition, and the other base amount of ammunition was still at the Huting stronghold.
"Hi!" The combat staff officer paused and turned around to give the order.
At this moment, intensive gunshots rang out from the left and right wings.
A Japanese soldier hurried over and reported: "A large number of Eighth Route Cavalry were spotted on the left and right wings!"
"Nani?" The expression of the squadron leader of Koshiki Toranosuke's bodyguard changed, "Commander of the brigade, please mount your horse immediately!"
Seeing the groom bringing the horse over, Kosei Toranosuke didn't show any pretense and immediately got on the horse.
Several staff officers also got on their horses one after another, then rode in the direction that Hu Ting feared, and rode away quickly.
"Alternate cover and retreat!" the Japanese squadron leader shouted sternly, "Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
…
Taiyuan.
First Army Headquarters.
Several Japanese combat officers drew red and blue arrows on the map to represent the situation between the enemy and ourselves.
The Japanese 36th Division, 37th Division, and 29th Brigade attacked the Dagou Bay area from three directions.
In addition to the 36th Division that had just set off, the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade had already exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops.
However, these blocking troops are not a new regiment after all, and cannot stop the pace and offensive of the 37th Division and the 29th Brigade.
Yoshio Shinozuka is full of ambition.
All it takes is the 9th Brigade to hold off the Eighth Route Army for one day, and the Eighth Route Army will be left with nothing but dumplings.
And they are also fish-filled dumplings.
Chief of Staff Hideyoshi Kusuyama was feeling uneasy: "Your Excellency, Commander, I always feel like something is wrong?"
Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "What's wrong?"
"I can't tell." Kusuyama Hideyoshi frowned, "But I always feel like something is going to happen."
Shinozuka Yoshio advised: "It seems, Kusuyama-kun, you haven't gotten over the defeat in the last battle."
"There is an old saying in China that victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. The imperial army defeated most of China, so a small defeat in the Guanjianao battle is nothing."
"The main reasons for the failure of the central blooming strategy last time were too few troops and the failure of Yamazaki Yehei's command."
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka continued with a confident tone: "This time, I will use more than half of the brigade's 6,000 elite imperial troops as bait to catch fish from the Eighth Route Army. There is no way I will fail."
"Thank you, Commander, for your enlightenment."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi suddenly felt much brighter.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Communications Staff Officer Toshimatsu Kasai walked quickly to Yoshio Shinozuka, paused and reported, "I just received a telegram from the 9th Brigade. The 9th Brigade..."
"What happened to the 9th Brigade?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked casually.
Yoshio Shinozuka took a sip of tea, his expression relaxed, and he was completely unaware of the tragedy that had occurred.
Although Hideyoshi Kusuyama and Takeo Andeng who were standing aside also raised their heads, they didn't pay much attention.
Although more than 3,000 people in the 9th Brigade were heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, the other 3,000 people were still elite Japanese troops.
Moreover, Major General Koshiki Toranosuke, the commander of the brigade, has always been brave and resourceful in battles.
In a head-on battle with the Eighth Route Army, the 3,000 elite Japanese troops led by Koshiki Toranosuke would never be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army so quickly.
No one has ever thought about this.
Kasai Toshimatsu paused and said in a deep voice: "Except for the guards squadron and communications team of the 9th Brigade, all the other soldiers and officers are in pieces!"
"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka's face changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head, "Is it all broken?"
The boy Kong Kusuyama Hideyoshi and Onteng Takeru next to him suddenly shrank and looked at them in disbelief and shock.
Yoshio Shinozuka's first reaction was that he didn't believe it at all, and his tone was firm: "This is impossible!"
Kusuyama Hideyoshi also frowned and said: "A few minutes ago, Major General Koshiki Toranosuke just sent a telegram, promising to complete the task of dealing with the Eighth Route Army. Only a few minutes have passed, how can it be possible that everything is broken?"
"Perhaps the code was deciphered by the enemy?" Intelligence staff officer An Teng Takeo asked tentatively: "The enemy sent a false telegram?"
"It is impossible for this situation to happen." Kasai Toshimatsu said, "In this combat operation, the latest radio codes are used between each unit and the headquarters. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to decipher the codes in such a short period of time."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi snorted coldly: "That's not necessarily true. Even the sneak attack plan has been leaked. Maybe the leaker gave the code book to the Eighth Route Army?"
After finishing speaking, Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at Shinozuka Yoshio.
Speaking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka had a headache. Currently, he and Kazuki Yamamoto are the two most suspects.
Between me and Yamamoto-kun, who is the mole?
Although Yoshio Shinozuka is very reluctant to doubt Kazuki Yamamoto, no matter how you look at it, Kazuki Yamamoto seems to be involved.
Only Toshimatsu Kasai continued to say: "The telegram stated that the Imperial Army was attacked by a group of bombers of unknown origin two kilometers west of Dawangou. The bombers and fighter jets were models he had never seen before. The Imperial Army's position
were carpet bombed…”
"Baga!" Yoshio Shinozuka's face instantly turned black, "Where did the plane come from?"
"It's not clear yet," Kasai Toshimatsu said, "but Major General Koshiki Toranosuke is still alive, but he only has a guard squadron and a communications team around him."
"Ando-kun!" Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and said, "You have one day to immediately identify the initiator of this air attack and find the enemy's aircraft and airport."
"Hi!" Intelligence staff officer An Teng Takeo paused and walked out quickly.
"Baga!" Yoshio Shinozuka grabbed the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the table and threw it to the ground.
With a clanking sound, the fine blue and white porcelain tea cup shattered. Yoshio Shinozuka, who was still angry, grabbed the newly drawn map on the table, tore it into pieces, and then angrily pulled out the command knife and made several combat staff members.
Cut half of the sand into pieces.
Yoshio Shinozuka's chest heaved violently. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost noon.
Even if there were more than 6,000 pigs, the Eighth Route Army could not kill them all so quickly. In just one morning, more than 6,000 imperial troops were almost killed by the Eighth Route Army.
Looking at the almost crazy Shinozuka Yoshio, Kusuyama Hideyoshi thought in his heart, is the victory or defeat that has been agreed upon is a common thing for military strategists?
…
The Eighth Route Army cavalry bypassed the sea of fire from the left and right wings, and then joined forces again.
Koshiki Toranosuke's escort squadron alternately covered the escape.
In front of more than 500 cavalry, a Japanese squadron only resisted for a moment before breaking through the defense line.
The cavalry continued to pursue forward, leaving the surviving Japanese to the infantry.
The soldiers of Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion did not pursue for long when they saw a dozen Japanese soldiers on horseback running wildly two to three hundred meters ahead.
Some of them were still wearing the military uniforms of Japanese officers.
The Japanese ran wildly, holding rifles and pistols, and fired at the Eighth Route Army in the rear.
However, these devils are not professional cavalry. Their marksmanship on horseback is very impressive, and it is basically difficult to hit anyone.
On the contrary, it was the soldiers of the new cavalry battalion. Every two or three gunshots were fired, and a Japanese soldier screamed and fell off his horse.
In particular, Sun Desheng's marksmanship was almost as good as the rifle, and the cavalry battalion equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles was much more powerful than the Japanese Type 44 rifles in terms of firepower.
The riding skills of this group of Japs were not as good as those of professional cavalry. They were drawn closer and closer to the cavalry camp, and more and more Japs were hit and knocked off their horses.
Except for Koshiki Toranosuke, the remaining six or seven Japanese officers and soldiers reined in their reins and stopped, turned their horses, drew out their command sabers and rifle bayonets, and launched a desperate attack on the Eighth Route Army, giving their brigade commander a moment to escape.
However, Sun Desheng and the soldiers did not play tricks with the Japanese at all.
After a row of bullets were fired, the six or seven Japanese officers and soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.
The cavalry rumbled past, and the Japanese who fell off their horses were instantly trampled into meat patties by iron hooves.
Sun Desheng raised his semi-automatic rifle and pulled the trigger. There was a gunshot, and the last Japanese officer 200 meters ahead fell from his horse.
At this time, Sun Desheng raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist to make a stop gesture, and a group of Eighth Route Cavalry slowed down and stopped slowly.
Sun Desheng put the semi-automatic rifle on his back, pulled out the Yunlong knife with a swipe, and urged the war horse under his crotch to run over.
As the Yunlong knife blade passed by, the Japanese officer's head and body suddenly separated.
Sun Desheng dismounted and turned the Japs body over. When he saw the epaulettes of the Japs officer, he said excitedly: "Damn it, I killed a Japs major general." Your latest reading progress detected is "Chapter 1 Business Comes to Your Doorstep"
