Chapter 235: Breakout Battle of Counter-Encirclement and Suppression (9)
Wang Hu took the lead, holding up the saber in his hand. He stuck closely to the horse's back and rushed towards the Japanese marching column. On both sides of him, more than one battalion of soldiers lined up, stretching for hundreds of meters, with the same
way, and rushed towards the Japanese marching column.
At this moment, the two battalions that had detoured back to the vanguard and rear troops of the Japanese army also launched a charge at the same time. Immediately, the entire battlefield was filled with the rumble of horse hooves. The three attack formations formed a simple semi-encirclement.
.
"Baga..." When Wang Hu took the lead and rushed out of the woods where he was hiding, in the silent night, the sound of horse hooves had already reached the ears of the Japanese army. The thunderous sound of horse hooves immediately followed, immediately making the fast-moving Japanese army unconscious.
He stopped and looked towards the place where the noise came from.
However, just as they were stunned, a large group of cavalry regiments appeared in the sight of the Japanese army.
"Baga, cavalry, cavalry of the Eighth Route Army... how is it possible..." The Japanese chief of staff felt the trembling earth and was stunned. He opened his mouth and said to himself.
"Baga, what are you doing standing still? Quick, defense, machine gun, machine gun..." The chief of staff finally came to his senses, looked at the soldiers who were still in a daze, and cursed loudly.
"Baga, machine guns, quickly organize defense..." Following the order of the Japanese chief of staff, the captains of each squadron and each team immediately began to curse, kicking the soldiers who were still in a daze, and let the machine gunners of their own queues greet them.
The neat marching troops in the past fell into chaos at this moment.
However, the Japanese army still concentrated dozens of light machine guns in the shortest possible time. At this time, the charging cavalry regiment was less than 500 meters away from the Japanese position. The war horses under their crotches had passed nearly 500 meters.
After the charge accelerated, it was already mentioned as the fastest. Hundreds of cavalry lined up in a row, with the regiment leader as the center, and rushed towards the Japanese army like the wind. A neat row of sabers gave out a faint glow under the moonlight.
The cold light of silk.
"Baga, prepare the machine guns, hurry up, line up in a row..." the Japanese chief of staff loudly ordered to the dozens of light machine guns concentrated. However, he did not know that on the defense line of several hundred meters, there were less than three
How dense is the firepower of ten light machine guns?
"Fire..." Dozens of tongues of flames spread out one after another on the defense line of several hundred meters, forming a weak firepower network 300 meters in front of the position. In the dark night sky, bullets fired one after another with bright lights.
The tail flames danced in the air, as clear as fireworks.
Facing the bullets of the Japanese army, the charging cavalry showed no fear. They lowered their heads and pressed their entire body against the undulating horse's back. With their right hand, they raised the saber in their hands... even if the horse was hit by flying bullets.
After being hit, he fell down on the charging road with a "plop". Immediately, new cavalry immediately filled the newly vacated position. No soldier would take a second look. They only had one belief that if they broke through this fire net, they could be ruthless.
Hit these devils hard and avenge the fallen comrades.
On the Japanese army's position, machine gunners kept pulling the triggers, and the assistant shooters around them kept loading bullets. The yellow bullet shells were steaming and spit out from the barrel of the gun in the cold night. However, they
The efforts did not achieve the expected results. Because the cavalry charging on the opposite side did not decrease at all, the speed of the charge did not weaken at all, and the neat row of sabers with cold light were quickly approaching their position.
Looking at the sabers getting closer and closer, the machine gunner knew that they must be the first batch of Japanese soldiers to fall under the cavalry sabers, and that one of them would eventually be shattered to pieces. With this idea, panic began to appear on the faces of the Japanese machine gunners.
, instead of pulling the trigger calmly just now, some soldiers were even ready to retreat. Invisibly, the firepower density in front of the position suddenly decreased a lot, and the soldiers seized the opportunity and ran even more unscrupulously.
stand up.
Just when the Japanese were in a panic and worried about the multiple battalions of cavalry in front of the position, the one, two and two battalions that had already detoured back to the two wings also appeared. They did not line up like the third battalion, but formed a group.
The pointed conical shape rushed towards the Japanese army.
Seeing the cavalry less than 200 meters away from them, and looking at the cavalry approaching them quickly on both sides, the already panicked Japanese army finally collapsed. Because they all knew that in the plains, without any fortifications,
If you let the cavalry rush into your position, what will you face? It will definitely be a dead body.
A soldier threw down the light machine gun in his hand, with the officer's curses and gunshots all still behind his head, and ran backwards desperately, hoping to hide a few kilometers behind him when the cavalry rushed in front of him.
In the forest outside. As soon as the first soldier escaped, there was a second one... and then a third one... In the end, even the Japanese chief of staff retreated to the rear under the protection of personal guards.
However, no matter how they escaped, their legs could not outrun the horses that had reached the limit of speed. The soldiers roared loudly and rushed into their formation from the back of the Japanese army. A handful of sabers glowing coldly, in the moonlight
Down, drawing a perfect arc, slashing towards the back of the fleeing Japanese army.
"Tsk..." A burst of blood flashed out, followed by a scream, a round head fell to the ground, and a headless corpse fell to the ground with a "plop" in the direction of his escape.
The cavalryman did not feel any excitement about killing a Japanese soldier. He once again raised his saber dripping with blood and rushed towards his next target.
When the two battalions rushing towards the Japanese forward from both wings saw the Japanese retreating to the rear, they immediately turned around and changed their attack direction. They rushed towards the retreating Japanese army and intercepted the retreating soldiers.
The two battalions were like two swords. After rushing in front of the Japanese army, they charged back and forth in front of the Japanese army. Every time the troops rushed through once, at least dozens of soldiers' lives would be taken away. The back and forth attacks of the cavalry
, the Japanese army's positions are getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer Japanese troops who can still fight in the middle of the position...
Just like that, half an hour later, the battlefield no longer had the hustle and bustle. The cavalry began to slow down and wandered around the battlefield, searching for the remaining enemies. Looking at the entire Japanese army's escape route, round heads and heads that had been beaten could be seen everywhere.
The corpses of the war horses were trampled into flesh, and the entire position was completely dyed red with the blood and flesh of the Japanese soldiers.
"Reporting to the commander, the cavalry regiment successfully completed the response mission, annihilating the pursuing Japanese army of 1,400 people, and the cavalry regiment suffered 92 casualties. The report is completed, please ask for instructions on the next step..." Wang Hu, the commander of the cavalry regiment, wiped his face.
Blood came to Liu Hua and said.
"Okay, very good... Good fight. The cavalry regiment finally gave us a bad breath. Let that old boy Sakai clean up the rest of the battlefield! Let him, too, let the Japanese bully our independent division of the Eighth Route Army."
What will happen to them if they go to the battlefield? The more than a thousand headless corpses on the battlefield will be their fate in the future." Liu Hua said excitedly.
"Yes, Commander, I will order the cavalry regiment to withdraw from the position immediately." Wang Hu saluted and replied.
Soon, the cavalry regiment, which had just experienced a fierce battle, came to gather in the woods. At the same time, thousands of soldiers who were resting in the woods stood up in unison and paid a solemn military salute to the soldiers of the cavalry regiment, expressing their strength to them.
The excitement in my heart.
"Comrades, just now the cavalry regiment has eliminated the Japanese troops chasing us, and now we have no worries. And this time, all the six Japanese troops in our base area have withdrawn from the base area. So, now, I have decided to withdraw from the base area and end this
Counter-encirclement and suppression operations." Liu Hua said loudly to the soldiers around him.
"Long live...Long live...We have won...We have won..." As soon as Liu Hua finished speaking, the excited shouts of the soldiers rang out throughout the forest.
"Comrades, be quiet. I know that comrades are working very hard. However, we must move tonight. Because we have just wiped out a large group of Japanese troops. After dawn, the angry Japanese planes will definitely bomb the surrounding woods.
, so we must seize the remaining few hours, move to the deep mountains, and then return to our long-lost base area. Do comrades have the confidence to walk out of the mountains and return to the base area?" Liu Hua asked loudly.
"Yes...yes..." the soldiers' answers echoed in the woods.
"Okay, now I order all the cavalry to dismount and hand over the horses to our wounded. The third regiment will be the vanguard and the cavalry regiment will be the rearguard. The cavalry will leave one company of horses to conduct uninterrupted patrols around, and everyone else will be in the center. Now
Let’s leave immediately…”
Just like this, after a small episode with the cavalry regiment, the troops got rid of the Japanese pursuit, jumped out of their sight, got into the vast mountains, and walked towards the base area. However, all that was left for the Japanese army was the ground.
corpse.
Just when the cavalry regiment had just eliminated the Japanese pursuing troops, the top commander of the Japanese army, Major General Sakai, was sitting leisurely at the headquarters, squinting his eyes, waiting for the victory report from the chief of staff. Because he believed that with the pursuit forces of his two brigades,
The Eighth Route Army, which has been beaten to exhaustion, will definitely be destroyed.
However, he did not wait for the good news, but waited for the news that almost made him commit suicide by caesarean section. More than an hour after the pursuit force set off, a squad leader with a face full of blood and a broken arm was carried into the headquarters.
.
"Baga, why did you bring the wounded here?" Until this moment, Sakai had not realized that his pursuit force had been completely wiped out.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, the pursuit force led by the chief of staff was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army cavalry less than 3 kilometers away from here. The chief of staff...the chief of staff and the 1,500 soldiers led by him were completely wiped out," the wounded man
Maybe it was because he lost too much blood, so he said with difficulty.
"Nani, was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Impossible, absolutely impossible. We have already conducted reconnaissance, and we did not find a large number of Eighth Route Army around us. You are talking nonsense... Baga... Sakai took out the command knife from his waist and struck at the stretcher.
