"Zhuozhou discovered the main force of the Chinese army?"
"Baga!"
"Could it be that reinforcements came from the Central Plains?"
"Order the main force of the division to go south immediately!"
"The decisive battle in Zhuozhou!"
…
"Zhuozhou? Chinese army?"
"Yo Xi! Just in time, we can catch them there!"
"Go south!"
"Go south!"
…
"Hey! The enemy is in Baoding Mansion?"
"Order the aviation force to bomb Baoding Prefecture immediately after dawn!"
…
"Ah sneeze!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Zhang Yong sneezed continuously.
His intuition told him that after tonight, there would be a big war in Zhuozhou.
The Japanese invaders will definitely send a large number of troops south for reinforcements. Planes, tanks, and heavy artillery will be dispatched.
They will go south along the Ping-Han Railway and quickly arrive at Zhuozhou.
Perhaps, after dawn, more Japanese cavalry will arrive. There may be thousands of them.
Obviously, you can't fight head-on. You can only run and fight on the move.
More and more red dots appear.
1000…
1500……
The numbers in the lower left corner of the map keep increasing.
Zhang Yong keenly noticed through the telescope that these incoming Japanese cavalry seemed to be somewhat different.
How should I put it, there are some subtle differences. In various aspects.
Suddenly he turned around and looked at Hojo Chiyo.
I understand. They are the professional cavalry of the Kwantung Army, not the cavalry attached to the infantry division.
Maybe it was the cavalry regiment where Hojo Chiyo belonged!
Sure enough, I found that Chiyo Hojo's face turned blue and white. Obviously, there was a fierce battle in his mind. He wanted to hide it, but he couldn't hide it.
"Number." Zhang Yong asked coldly.
"The Fifth Independent Cavalry Regiment." Chiyo Hojo replied.
"Affiliated to the Kwantung Army?
"yes."
"What's the name of the captain?"
"Yanagawa Ichian."
"What does it have to do with Yanagawa Heisuke?"
"I don't know about that. Maybe it's just the same last name."
"Yanagawa..."
Zhang Yong was thoughtful, then put it behind his mind.
It doesn't matter whether he has any contact or not. It has nothing to do with me.
The key point of this designation lies in the word "independence", indicating a special status.
The heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese invaders was attached to the division. However, if the word independent is added in front of it, it is directly attached to the base camp.
The independent field heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese invaders was equipped with 150mm howitzers.
There were only a few such independent field heavy artillery regiments in the entire Japanese army. Most were in the Northeast. Only two had ever entered the border to fight.
"Are you the wing deputy?"
"yes……"
"I see."
Zhang Yong understood why Chiyo Hojo ran around.
It turns out that this guy has a job title but no power. He is a nominal deputy captain. He has a job title but no power.
The deputies in the Japanese army were treated worse than those in the national army.
Not to mention commanding combat troops, you can't even command the guards. No one will listen to you.
Therefore, he could only run out alone.
The regimental deputy was not equipped with a rifle. So he didn't even have a rifle.
It's really miserable.
If you are assigned to serve as a deputy when you are promoted, sorry, it will be equivalent to sitting on the bench. The salary can be said to have plummeted.
A lieutenant colonel can actually serve as chief of staff of a wing, chief of staff of a brigade, or senior staff officer of a division. After a few years, he will be promoted to colonel.
If it is a deputy position, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted to colonel. In the end, he will have to be transferred to the reserve force.
"Your Hojo family..."
"It has declined..."
Chiyo Hojo answered honestly.
Zhang Yong tilted his head and thought for a while.
In Nobunaga's Ambition, it seems that the Hojo family has perished?
Are there any descendants? Or is there someone pretending to be a descendant of the Hojo family?
silence.
Found the Japanese cavalry lining up.
A fully equipped independent cavalry regiment of the Kwantung Army!
Just hearing the name Kwantung Army was very intimidating. However, Zhang Yong did not feel too nervous.
A very mysterious feeling.
He didn't care about the name Kwantung Army.
In fact, it doesn't matter. The Kwantung Army can still be defeated.
The Japanese invaders of the Kwantung Army could also be killed. In the end, hundreds of thousands of them surrendered.
The most elite Japanese invaders were also brutally beaten on the Pacific islands.
In fact, judging from the battle just now, Zhang Yong found that the Japanese invaders' fighting power did not seem to be as powerful as the legend said.
Quite a few Japanese invaders had no combat experience.
During the battle, many Japanese invaders ran around and suffered unnecessary casualties.
The training of the Japanese invaders was indeed very abnormal. However, training was not actual combat.
In fact, the Japanese army has not experienced much actual combat, especially actual combat above the brigade level. It may have been more than thirty years.
The last large-scale actual combat dates back to the Russo-Japanese War.
On September 18th, there were no fierce battles between the Japanese invaders. Therefore, they had no combat experience.
In various subsequent conflicts, including Xifengkou and others, the Japanese invaders did not dispatch many troops. Therefore, many of the soldiers of the 14th Division were in actual combat for the first time.
On the contrary, it was only after the full-scale invasion of China and battles with the Chinese army that they continued to gain records and gain experience.
The peak combat effectiveness should be around 40 or 41 years.
The so-called veterans were also created on the Chinese battlefield.
Sideways glance.
Min Rou's face was found to be tense.
The finger bones holding the gun turned white.
Obviously, she was very nervous. It was the first time she faced so many Japanese cavalry.
"Follow me." Zhang Yong said casually.
"What to do?" Min Rou bit her lip.
"If something goes wrong, I'll shoot you to death. Then I'll smash your face. You don't have to worry."
"I……"
Min Rou was speechless.
But in the end he nodded.
If the situation is critical, this seems to be the only way to do it.
As a woman, of course she could not be captured by the Japanese invaders. She would either commit suicide or commit suicide.
"Give you this again."
Zhang Yong took out a wooden handle grenade and gave it to her.
Min Rou took it over doubtfully.
"You can use it to perish together with the Japanese invaders."
"good."
Min Rou bit her lip.
Hide the grenade.
At this time, a man came out of the Japanese cavalry.
It waved its hands to indicate that it had no weapons, and then rode towards Zhang Yong.
It seems that he is coming to persuade you to surrender?
Go back!
Zhang Yong raised his Garand semi-automatic rifle.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Shoot all the bullets in one go.
The Japanese cavalryman fell down on the spot and died.
Excuse me.
I'm not welcome.
I have nothing to talk about with you.
Unless you declare unconditional surrender, there is only fighting.
"Baga!"
"Kill Chirp!"
"kill!"
The Japanese cavalry was furious.
Launch an attack immediately.
"Bang!"
"Pah hook!"
Both sides shoot at each other.
In an instant, people on both sides fell from their horses.
"boom……"
"boom……"
Mortar fire began indiscriminately.
Shells fell one after another like raindrops.
The Japanese cavalry were suddenly bombed into chaos. They never expected that the enemy's firepower would be so strong.
Thirteen mortars. Full firepower.
The gunner kept his head down and fired the shells. One shot after another without any pause.
"boom……"
"boom……"
As the artillery shells exploded, the Japanese cavalry continued to fall.
The originally relatively dense team dispersed in a hurry. However, considerable casualties were already caused.
"mock up!"
Zhang Yong sneered.
At this moment, he was still very proud.
In terms of light firepower, he has almost reached the pinnacle of infantry. At least he is among the best in the world.
Even if the Hansmen take out the famous MG42, they may not dare to say that they will win in front of a bunch of Garand semi-automatics.
What's more, there are more than a dozen M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns. Kill gods when you meet them. Kill Buddhas when you meet them.
The only opponent is probably the combination of Bobosha and Dapanji of the Polar Bear Red Army. This group of firepower is also fierce.
The Hans infantry met the Polar Bear infantry, and the two sides competed with each other in terms of firepower. It was terrifying just thinking about it.
If the Japanese infantry were mixed in, they would probably be killed instantly.
The combination of the crooked handle and the three-eight big cover, when encountering Hans or a polar bear, is totally looking for abuse!
so,
What can he do, a mediocre person who cannot lift with his hands or carry on his shoulders, with an average IQ?
Of course, it is to give your subordinates the strongest firepower!
Since there are no heavy weapons, combine light weapons to the top. Pick the most powerful combination!
Then,
Start mowing!
"Tu tu tu tu..."
"Tu tu tu tu..."
The sound of large-caliber heavy machine gun fire is really sweet!
You don't even need to look. Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that wherever its bullet passes, no carbon-based organisms can survive.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The war horse fell heavily.
The Japanese invaders on horseback were violently thrown away.
The horses of the Kwantung Army cavalry are absolutely of the highest quality. Every one of them is excellent.
Even Zhang Yong's horse, Dabai, was not as outstanding as the Guandong Army cavalry horses. After all, they were cavalry attached to the division, so they were one level behind.
However, all of these were ruthlessly killed by 12.7mm bullets.
Just one bullet can kill a galloping horse.
Basically no injuries.
If you touch it, you will die.
If you touch it, you will die.
If you want to change your war horse, you can only pray to God for blessing.
I hope that some war horses can survive the crazy firing of 12.7mm bullets without being damaged. Otherwise, they will have no choice but to eat horse meat.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
Relatively speaking, the shooting of the Garand semi-automatic rifle is mediocre.
Although, they can also provide very good firepower.
If hit by a 7.62*63mm bullet, the war horse will fall down and die.
"Baga..."
"how so……"
"how so……"
The captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment, Yanagawa Yi'an, was completely stunned.
It had never thought that the opponent's firepower could be so brutal and lethal.
What weapons did the Chinese use?
Why does it feel like a cavalryman was knocked off his horse?
What caliber of bullet has such a terrifying impact?
"puff!"
Suddenly something doesn't feel right.
But someone around him was torn apart, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Turn your head sideways.
Saw a cavalryman fall on his back.
He didn't fall forward. He fell backward. The impact of the bullet was very strong.
The head is missing. It seems to have been smashed.
Oh my god, what a terrible lethality. My neck was broken.
fear.
It arises involuntarily from the bottom of my heart.
"puff!"
Suddenly, there was another muffled sound on the left side.
I turned around and saw the cavalry horse on the left. I knelt down on the spot and was dead.
Before the cavalryman on horseback could react, another string of bullets came over. The cavalryman's body suddenly seemed to be torn apart.
"Baga..."
Yanagawa Yi'an hurriedly lowered his head.
Then he quickly turned over and dismounted.
It's terrible.
I never dare to sit on a horse again.
Otherwise, incoming bullets are likely to break it into pieces.
hateful!
Why are there such terrible enemies?
Why are there such terrible weapons?
Who is the other party?
Which part of the Chinese army is it?
"Your Majesty Colonel, my subordinates suggest..."
The chief of staff came closer.
The two men hid behind their horses to observe the battle.
Very unsatisfactory.
The casualties were very heavy.
The frontal attack was completely defeated.
All I saw were dead horses and dead cavalry.
"Baga!"
Yanagawa Yi'an was very angry.
Unexpectedly, his majestic Kwantung Army cavalry suffered such a disastrous defeat.
I can’t imagine how I will report it when I get back.
"Ota-kun..."
Yanagawa Ichiyasu was about to tell the chief of staff to change his strategy.
Suddenly I realized something was wrong.
The chief of staff's body fell limply.
Following that, the war horse in front also fell down on the spot. He kicked his legs twice and stopped moving.
Damn...
Yanagawa Yi'an immediately felt bad.
Lying down reflexively.
hateful!
The Chinese bullets are so brutal!
It actually penetrated the war horse! It also hit the chief of staff! He was also killed.
Angry and anxious.
Shocked and scared.
My hands and feet feel cold.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Continuously, artillery shells exploded nearby.
Although the explosion did not hit him, several nearby cavalrymen were overturned.
Damn it!
It's not an ordinary 60mm cannon.
It is a large caliber with a caliber of over 80 mm. The shells are several times more lethal.
The key is that the enemy's firepower seems to show no sign of interruption. Whether it is bullets or artillery shells, there is a continuous flow!
There is no moderation at all.
There is no pause in the middle.
No matter how hard the Kwantung Army cavalry attacked, they could not avoid the opponent's firepower.
As long as you are on horseback, you will always be hit.
If it doesn't hit a person, it will hit a horse.
Looking over, it was a mess. They were all the corpses of Kwantung Army cavalry.
The total casualties suffered by the Kwantung Army cavalry in the past thirty years were not as many as in the previous battle!
Baga!
This is a one-sided massacre!
Those who were massacred were the Kwantung Army cavalry! They were simply unable to effectively deter the enemy.
Although the Kwantung Army cavalry also carried mortars, they did not have heavy machine guns or large-caliber machine guns. They seemed very helpless.
No more.
We can't continue fighting like this.
Otherwise, the entire cavalry regiment will be wiped out.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
Yanagawa Yi'an hurriedly ordered.
However, it is not easy to pass on the order?
The current battle situation is already in chaos. The war horses have expanded to a large area.
There are fights everywhere.
There were gunshots everywhere.
The surveillance map cannot cover the entire battlefield.
Because there are quite a few battles that take place outside a radius of five thousand meters. They may go further and further.
The duel between cavalry and cavalry is destined to move at high speed.
Only he, Zhang Yong, remained motionless.
He doesn't take part in the fight.
As a combatant, he has little effect.
In front of guns, all living beings are equal. If he is hit by a bullet, he will die.
He also doesn't have the ability to fight ten.
but!
He can be a calm battlefield controller.
right.
Controller.
Not a battlefield commander.
It's the controller.
He can control the basic direction of the entire battlefield.
Understand the enemy's movements.
Discover the enemy's weaknesses.
Play to your strengths.
calm.
indifferent.
I don’t want casualty figures. I just want tower mountains.
This is the battlefield controller.
All factors are under control.
However, for the time being, he is still at entry level.
He can't yet make scientific arrangements to maximize his firepower.
In fact, a lot of ammunition was wasted.
The arrangement of firepower was also unscientific and did not fully draw on each other's strengths to offset weaknesses.
Take out a small notebook and summarize experiences and lessons.
First, there are more large-caliber machine guns. Facts have proved that they are really powerful.
For light infantry, it's a complete nightmare.
Second, we need more mortars. We all know that, so there is no need to expand them.
Third, there are more semi-automatic rifles.
Fourth, there need to be more machine guns...
Fifth, we need more submachine guns...
Huh?
How can it be concluded that they are all the same?
It’s all about more!
Lots, lots, lots!
There seems to be nothing else.
Oh, I’m missing one more, that’s because there are so many people!
No matter how many weapons there are, they still need people to control them. Without people, everything is in vain.
"boom……"
Japanese artillery shells exploded.
Soldiers nearby suffered casualties. Some were killed on the spot.
Therefore, there must be a large number of people.
Even if you suffer a certain amount of casualties, you can still continue to fight.
To put it bluntly, war is about competing for the resources of both sides. Weapon resources, ammunition resources, human resources, economic resources...
have a bee in one's bonnet.
Thousands of thoughts.
"Report to the Commissioner!"
"The Japanese cavalry retreated!"
"Please give me permission to pursue?"
Suddenly, Chen Hansheng hurried over.
Zhang Yong came back to his senses and then shook his head.
"Don't chase poor bandits."
"yes."
"Gather the troops, count the losses, and count the results."
"yes."
Chen Hansheng agreed and went.
Zhang Yong raised his telescope. Sure enough, the Japanese cavalry retreated.
The remaining red dots are quickly fleeing to the north. The speed is very fast. It is obvious that they are really leaving the battlefield.
Confuse.
Why are the Japanese cavalry running so fast?
It seems that we didn’t lose much! There were more than 700 people there just now.
You only lost half of your cavalry regiment and you fled in a hurry? Something seems wrong! Where is your courage?
Where is your bushido spirit? You have to fight to the last person, right?
Forget it. Just run away.
Zhang Yong was actually not very satisfied with the battle just now.
The main reason is that they have not learned how to organize firepower and have not maximized their lethality.
"Go and help treat the wounded!"
"good!"
Min Rou agreed and went.
Zhang Yong clamped his horse's belly and rode into the battlefield.
The battlefield was very messy. There were dead horses and corpses of Japanese invaders everywhere.
The ground was bloody and very muddy. It was soaked in the blood of Japanese invaders and war horses. It was very soft.
There are no red dots.
This shows that there are no lingering Japanese invaders.
All the Japanese invaders were killed. As a side note, the firepower just now seemed to be pretty good?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Someone is reloading a gun.
While cleaning the battlefield, replenish your guns.
Zhang Yong was actually cleaning the battlefield, but his goals were somewhat special.
He wanted to build a war horse.
A war horse from the Kwantung Army cavalry.
Dabai felt good before. But now, I feel a little disgusted.
The horses of the Kwantung Army cavalry are better...
