The sound of gunfire became more intense in the cold and damp field, and the whizzing bullets kept passing overhead, causing the turf and soil around to splash. People kept being shot and fell to the ground wailing.
The Japanese cavalry had been gradually forced to the narrow road in the middle by the fallen trees on both sides. They surged forward like waves, horseshoes rumbled, and bullets flew randomly. The pressure of the defeated troops on the front echelon defense was increasing.
Although the weather was already very cold, company commander Qin Shou's forehead was constantly covered with hot sweat, dripping down his cheeks. However, he didn't bother to wipe it, and immediately turned around and ran away after shooting.
Some of the defeated soldiers ran back for about twenty meters and then stopped to establish a new line of defense. Qin Shou pulled him and ran diagonally. As they ran, they kept shouting at the top of their lungs: "Go to both sides."
Run! Run in both directions!"
The Japanese cavalry had already rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters, and they were there in a blink of an eye. If they stopped and fired a shot at this moment, they would not have time to turn around, and they would definitely die under the sword of the Japanese.
Yang Dashu held his Type 96 light machine gun and rolled over on its side. He turned around and lay down before he could reach the fixed tripod and opened fire on the Japanese cavalry who were pursuing him.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!
Accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, hot bullets rushed out of the muzzle along with gunpowder smoke. Several Japanese cavalrymen more than 20 meters away, holding their sabers high, screamed and fell off their horses.
A Japanese cavalryman was shot and injured and rolled off his horse. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. His body fell to the ground but his feet were still stuck in the stirrups. He was dragged by the frightened horse and ran wildly, and his head hit the gravel and mud.
It soon turned into a bloody mass of flesh.
"Quick! Machine gun fire!" Qin Shou rolled on the ground as tired as a dead pig and hurriedly shouted to the machine gunners in the company.
They seized a lot of machine guns from the Japanese soldiers in Suzhou City, including Type 96 light machine guns and several crooked light machine guns. Although the defeated soldiers were completely novices, they started to pull the triggers and fired bullets.
Flying all over the sky, in conjunction with the machine guns of Yang Dashu on the other side, they formed a crossfire. More than twenty Japanese soldiers rushed in front, wailing and falling off their horses.
Li Tiezhu and his men lay down in the grass on the left side, watching the arrogant Japanese soldiers running past, and his nervous palms became sweaty.
The originally sparse formation of the Japanese cavalry had shrunk inwards to the middle road due to the obstacles on both sides, and became denser.
"Company... Captain, when are we going to throw the grenade?" A young soldier watched the brothers who couldn't run being slashed to the ground by the overtaking Japanese cavalry sabers, and his teeth were trembling.
Li Tiezhu was waiting for all the Japanese cavalry to enter this narrow section of road. Yang Dashu and others had already blocked the opening with machine guns. As long as all the Japanese cavalry entered, no one could escape.
The Japanese cavalry did not realize that they had entered the alley of death, and were still rushing forward and back with cries, because they did not take Yang Ling and his defeated troops seriously at all.
Su Er was running wildly, breathing heavily with a big mouth. A large amount of cold wind poured into his lungs, making him feel chest tight and short of breath, and he ran slower and slower.
In order to avenge his dead parents, he has now volunteered to join the team to fight the Japanese, and Yang Ling enlisted him under Qin Shou.
Qin Shou and the others were all veterans. After two rounds of fighting, they greased their feet and ran towards both sides. Su Er was a step too slow, and a Japanese cavalryman was already chasing after him from behind, holding a shining saber.
Su Er heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, and subconsciously turned around to look, only to see an ugly face wearing a steel helmet grinning ferociously at him. The cold glow of the saber made Su Er's legs weak.
He wanted to kill the Japanese before just relying on the blood and courage in his heart to avenge his parents, but now facing the shroud of death, fear rushed into his brain, and his legs suddenly became less and less obedient, and he stepped on
In the pit, a man stumbled and rolled to the ground, his nose and mouth covered with mud.
The Japanese cavalryman had already charged forward on horseback, leaning down on the bumpy horse's back. The shining saber had already slashed down at an angle. At this moment, Su Er's mind went blank and he even forgot to dodge.
"Hide quickly!" Qin Shou saw Su Er sitting on the ground in a daze, sweating profusely, and said to himself that it was over.
boom!
Yang Ling pulled the trigger, and the spinning bullet flew across the sky and slammed into the throat of the Japanese cavalry. It flew out from the other side with a large amount of blood. The sharp saber in the hand of the Japanese cavalry rubbed Su Er's head wound.
He passed by and then fell hard into the mud.
Rumble--in the smoke and fire, grenades flew up from the weeds and fell into the group of Japanese cavalry. The hot explosive fragments splashed everywhere under the action of the shock wave, constantly embedded in the flesh of the Japanese cavalry and horses.
Within the body, the Japanese cavalrymen kept falling off their horses like harvested wheat. The frightened horses neighed and jumped like crazy, trampling the injured Japanese soldiers who fell off their horses and made them wail again and again.
The Japanese cavalry were in complete chaos. In front of them was a fire net composed of crossed machine guns. The Japanese cavalry that collided with them were beaten into pieces, including their men and horses. The corpses were piled up in a pile. At this moment, they were faced with a surprise attack from grenades, and the smoke filled the air.
During the battle, most of the more than 100 Japanese cavalrymen were immediately wiped out.
The leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet that flew from an unknown source. Blood gurgled and his pants were soaked with blood. The pain caused beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. He thought he could kill this defeated army with a single charge, but he didn't know that he had stepped into a trap and was beaten to pieces instead.
"Charge!" At this moment, the seemingly scattered Chinese soldiers roared and launched a charge.
The Japanese squadron leader was also a ruthless man. He ignored the wounded soldiers wailing on the ground, turned his horse's head and immediately retreated with a roar.
Liu Yidao led a group of soldiers holding broadswords to block the retreat of the Japanese cavalry, but the remaining Japanese cavalry were extremely ferocious, and they rushed out of a gap, and more than 20 Japanese cavalry broke out.
"Stop chasing! Move immediately!" Yang Ling saw Liu Yidao leading people to chase him, and immediately stopped his reckless behavior.
Seeing the Japanese cavalry running further and further away, Liu Yidao gritted his teeth angrily, turned around and stabbed the wounded Japanese soldiers wailing on the ground, completely killing them.
"Battal Commander! There are Japanese soldiers on the left who want to take our retreat!" Before the battlefield could be cleaned, Jiao Chaoming, who was responsible for monitoring the battlefield, had already galloped back on his horse.
"There are Japs on the right side too!" There were also cavalrymen reporting from the other side.
Yang Ling's face turned stern, and he hurriedly gave an order to the brothers who were cleaning the battlefield: "Don't worry about the things on the ground! Run away!"
"Hey, grandma, wait for me -" Qin Shou hurriedly pulled a watch from the Japanese's wrist and staggered after him.
Yang Ling and the others were able to slip quickly with oil on their soles, and before the Japanese squadrons outflanking them from both sides had time to encircle them, they had already slipped out through the gap without any risk.
"Baga!" A cavalry squadron of more than a hundred people was reduced to more than ten defeated soldiers in an instant. Major Shoutaro Higashi turned livid with anger. He waved his hand and slapped the leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron who underestimated the enemy and rushed in.
