The crisp sound of gunfire instantly broke the noisy and chaotic atmosphere of the Japanese cavalry regiment in the valley. The entire valley suddenly became quiet.
However, this tranquility lasted for less than a second before it was overshadowed by the intense gunfire, the screams and roars of Japanese cavalry, and the neighing of war horses.
Colonel Akiyama, the commander of the regiment, was the first to be shot and fell. The cavalry regiment, which lost its command, suffered a devastating blow immediately. Hundreds of special forces members shot accurately and more than a thousand recruits were beaten indiscriminately. Only the first
After a round of shooting, at least 300 Japanese cavalrymen fell down their horses on the entire stretch of the road.
"Baga, there is an ambush, hurry up, rush out immediately, break out of the encirclement. The first squadron, launch an attack immediately, open a breakthrough." After a short period of confusion, the chief of staff of the wing who took over the command of Colonel Akiyama watched everyone around him fall.
The cavalry soldier almost roared the order.
More than a hundred cavalrymen, under the command of the squadron leader, drove their horses to sit down while waving their sabers with cold light in their hands, and launched an attack on the mouth of the entire pocket array.
At this moment, more than a hundred soldiers from a company and a company of the 1st Division of the ** were stationed at the mountain pass. The company commander was a combat team leader from the former special operations division. As for the squad leaders, no surprise, he was the combat team leader.
of team members.
Seeing the mighty over a hundred cavalrymen who wanted to rush towards them, in the entire blocking position, except for dozens of special forces members, who still clutched the rifles in their hands and lay motionless on the position, other soldiers, including Zeng and the Japanese army,
The faces of each of the ten soldiers assigned to the Jianshi Township garrison who had fought in the First World War, as the cavalry got closer and closer, the ground began to tremble and turned pale.
In their eyes, an elite cavalry squadron of the Japanese army is like an indestructible chariot that can shuttle back and forth across a regiment or even more infantry positions. As if entering an uninhabited land, they continue to kill with the saber in their hands.
All enemies standing in front of you.
But now he only has one company of troops. In normal times, this one company of infantry is not even enough to cover a Japanese cavalry squadron. Seeing the unstoppable more than a hundred cavalry in front of them, everyone's face showed
In the despair before death, even the hands holding the rifle couldn't help but start to tremble.
"Brothers, don't worry. There are more than a hundred cavalry. Today we will let it come and go. Cheer up. Machine gunners, set up all our light and heavy machine guns for me. Without me,
According to the order, no one is allowed to open fire in advance...¨" The company commander looked at the increasingly low morale of his subordinates and quickly ordered.
In order to make up for the lack of training and combat effectiveness of the troops, Li Chengtian also seized weapons and ammunition that the Japanese army had stored in Hsinchu County for decades. The firepower of the entire ** First Division can only be described as terrifying. Each person
In addition to one light machine gun for each infantry squad, the infantry company also has a heavy machine gun platoon with a total of three heavy machine guns. If it were not for the fact that there are not so many gunners among the troops, Li Chengtian, as the division commander, would even
Add a mortar platoon to each infantry company. However, even so, the entire first company has nine light machine guns and three heavy machine guns.
As the company commander issued the order, every soldier still showed a look of fear on his face. However, under the supervision of the respective squad and platoon leaders, light and heavy machine guns were set up immediately.
"Brothers, load the bullets..."
"Four hundred meters, three hundred and fifty meters, three hundred meters... Don't save bullets for me, concentrate your firepower, and hit me hard..."
With a "da da da" command, the company commander personally picked up a light machine gun and started shooting at the cavalry team that was getting closer and closer in front of him.
Suddenly, dozens of thick tongues of flames appeared on the blocking position less than fifty meters wide. At the same time, the dense tongues of flames were all concentrated at the front of the Japanese cavalry charge formation.
Suddenly, the cone-shaped cavalry attack formation, which had been unstoppable just now, was like encountering an indestructible piece of transparent glass. Any cavalryman who hit this piece of glass would be punched with dense blood holes in just the blink of an eye, causing them to fall over.
"Okay, good fight, just hit me like this, keep the fire close." Seeing the beaten man flipping over on his back, the company commander immediately let out a hearty laugh and roared with excitement.
.
As for the ordinary soldiers, especially the light and heavy machine gunners, they saw that the cavalry, which had always been indestructible, could not move forward even under their own fire. The face that was still demoralized just now was also immediately disturbed by the chicken's expression.
What's more, because of the chicken's movement, he actually picked up a light machine gun and fired at the enemy in front of him.
In fact, the Japanese military closed off Taiwan for a long time. They did not know that the cavalry had been eliminated in this era of promoting firepower. The reason why the Japanese cavalry was invincible on the entire island of Taiwan was because the opponents it encountered simply did not have enough heavy firepower.
.Just like now, if the opponent has sufficient heavy firepower, the charging cavalry will undoubtedly be in disaster.
More than a hundred cavalry, under the intensive fire of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, the entire offensive lasted less than five minutes. And in these five minutes, more than a hundred cavalry, from beginning to end, did not
Breaking through the fire net about two hundred meters in front of the first company position.
The total destruction of the Japanese First Cavalry Squadron declared that the entire cavalry regiment had no hope of breaking out. At the same time, it was completely surrounded. After the first round of fire strikes, only less than 600 cavalry regiments remained, standing on both sides of the road.
Under the constant attacks of dozens of snipers and countless riflemen from the special operations division, the number of combatable soldiers was once again reduced to less than 300.
"Baga, cunning Chinese people, dismount immediately, resist on the spot, and wait for rescue..." With no hope of breaking out, the Japanese army chief of staff could only retreat and do the next best thing, and ordered loudly.
Although the dismounted cavalry had the corpses of their war horses and the remains of their comrades as concealments, they had no difficulty at all in front of dozens of snipers, just like naked beauties. In addition, the rifles equipped by the cavalry were at range.
Compared with ordinary rifles, there is no advantage at all.
The remaining three hundred cavalrymen could only be passively beaten when faced with the rifle attack of the First Division of the Japanese Army.
With gunshots fired one after another, there were fewer and fewer cavalrymen on the road capable of counterattack.
"Commander, it's almost time." Hearing the increasingly sparse gunshots on the highway, he looked at the watch on his arm. Chief of Staff Wang Yusheng reminded.
"It's almost there. In the blink of an eye, ten minutes have passed. Order the troops to launch a charge immediately. Within half an hour, they must take the loot and withdraw from the battlefield, leaving a hundred special forces behind..." Li Chengtian said
He ordered with a serious face.
"Long live long live...We are victorious...We are victorious..." After the wolf-like warriors quickly eliminated the remaining enemies, the entire highway immediately rang with the deafening slogans of the soldiers.
Soon, the results of the battle were tallied up. Chief of Staff Wang Yusheng reported with excitement.
"Division Commander, we defeated the head of the First Division and won the victory. At the cost of less than 100 casualties, we annihilated more than 1,100 people of the Japanese 9th Division Cavalry Regiment. According to statistics, more than 800 guns of various types were seized.
(very), 12 mortars, 1 heavy machine gun. In addition, 689 intact Japanese war horses and 12 injured but still usable war horses were captured. The main reason why the army was able to capture so many war horses was
This can be attributed to the precise strikes of hundreds of special forces members and the entire ambush battle. Except for the first company responsible for blocking, almost no machine gun was used in the entire battle, and all battles were solved with rifles...¨
"Okay, order the troops to retreat immediately according to the original plan. Tell the special forces in the back to prepare a big gift for the main force of the Japs. In addition, inform each combat unit to carry all the trophies on war horses. Today,
We must demonstrate the combat effectiveness of our First Division to the people of Hsinchu County..." Li Chengtian ordered with excitement.
"Yes, Commander...¨"
When the main force of the Japanese army, under the command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Morigaoka, rushed to the battlefield out of breath, what was left for them, besides corpses scattered everywhere, were booby traps that could take away their names at any time.
At the same time, more than a thousand commanders and soldiers of the 1st Division of the Communist Party of China, which had won the first battle, were already holding their heads high, holding the captured war horses and supplies. Under the shocked, puzzled and excited eyes of the people of Hsinchu County,
Drive into the county and return to your place of residence
"Victory, actually won, the ** First Division actually won. Could it be that the end of the little devil has really come."
"Cavalry, the First Division of the Japanese Army actually wiped out a Japanese cavalry regiment. That was a cavalry regiment... Our Hsinchu County, Hsinchu County, is finally saved. The First Division of the Japanese Army is stationed here. No matter how many little devils come, there will be more
People will also be wiped out..."
"Son, the **First Division's less than 2,000 men can destroy the Japanese army's invincible cavalry regiment. With the current strength of the **First Division, it is enough to destroy a Japanese regiment, or even more. Now,
We Chinese can finally raise our heads and be human beings. If you don’t join such a good army now, why are you waiting? I support you to join the army, fight the Japanese, and defend Hsinchu County..."
As the results of the First Division of the Communist Party of China continued to spread, the captured war horses and piles of seized weapons and ammunition began to be made public in front of the people. Throughout the county, hundreds of thousands of people began to fight because of this unprecedented victory.
Crazy.
In less than an hour, the recruitment office of the ** First Division, which had been unusually deserted just now, was crowded with young and middle-aged people. Encouraged by this crazy morale, countless passionate young people began to sign up to join the army to protect the country.
