Facing the cavalry rushing at high speed, no one dared to lie down on the ground. Anyone who dared to lie down on the ground would end up being trampled into a ball of meat by the horse weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms.
But does it work if you stand? It’s also useless.
Except for a very few Japanese soldiers, the spears they carried could pierce the chests of the war horses that were running at high speed, and were then knocked away by the horses more than ten meters away. The stabbed horses neighed miserably and threw the knights on the horses out and fell down.
Then sweeping through a group of Japanese invaders who couldn't escape, the lethality was even greater than that of a normal galloping war horse.
The bloody light of death continued to bloom in the queues of both China and Japan.
But whether it was the screams before death or the tooth-aching harsh sound of sabers and bayonets, they were all drowned in the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
The wall of cavalry running wildly will not stop because of the weak bayonets of the Japanese infantry. They just charge and charge again, no matter what is in front of them.
When the first line of cavalry rushed like a comb through the crowd of desperate Japanese invaders holding rifles, the 4,000 Japanese army was reduced by a quarter.
After jumping over the 2-meter-wide trench where the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was hiding, and continuing to rush forward for at least 400 meters, the entire cavalry column slowed down, turned back into formation, and slowly retreated backwards.
Because, they had to leave room for the cavalry following behind to slow down.
The second group of cavalry once again passed by the Japanese army at high speed, taking away the lives of hundreds more Japanese soldiers.
Next, is the third team.
The number of people who can stand still has been reduced by one-half.
The three rows of cavalry rearranged into a thicker formation, and the horses' hooves began to tread slowly again. "Boom, boom" continued to accelerate until the end, and the rumbling sound of hoofbeats resounded throughout the world again.
The unrivaled cavalry wall appeared again and charged at the Japanese army, which was already only half.
It's like the beating of war drums and the sound of hooves like thunder.
The Japanese army, which had been ravaged by three rounds of cavalry, finally completely lost their fighting spirit and dispersed as soon as the cavalry began to accelerate.
They still have more than 2,000 people, and their 1.7-meter-long spears are also a great threat to the cavalry. Although they killed more than 1,500 people in the three rounds of charges just now, Deng Wen's cavalry brigade,
But there were also nearly two hundred less horses.
But Deng Wen didn't seem to see his own casualties at all. The moment the last group of cavalry successfully slowed down, he led the horse forward, letting the rear group become the front group, preparing for the next round of charge.
Liu Lang didn't see even a trace of emotion on his face, no sadness, and no joy after achieving great results, except for the flames dancing in his eyes.
The goddess of victory never favors those who have lost their courage.
If the more than 2,000 Japanese troops could choose to resist on the spot and give the Japanese troops on the left and right wings time to regroup and establish blocking positions based on trenches, Liu Lang's results would have ended here.
The two remaining infantry brigades still have nearly 30 machine guns. The dense rain of bullets can turn the cavalry's terrifying charge into suicide. Even if they can charge half of it, the trenches more than one meter deep can allow them to avoid the impact of the war horses.
The shadow of death.
What's worse is that the remaining 2,000 Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army troops on the ground are not only completely unable to pose a threat to them, but may also be bitten by them and suffer heavy casualties.
Liu Lang's best result was only to annihilate nearly 4,000 Japanese troops on the frontal battlefield. However, this should also be enough to satisfy Liu Lang's memorial to the 115 villagers who were killed in vain by Mi Jiayu.
However, on top of this if, it is also necessary to add that if Teruo Tanibe is a little more stubborn and chooses to fight to the end.
However, there are no ifs in this world, so is there still a chance for the Japanese army to make more than two ifs? They are not the Chinese football team 85 years later. The chance of up to five ifs is only one in 10,000,000.
Despite the situation, he still miraculously managed to break through and enter the top 12 of the Asian region of the World Cup. That kind of result is never achieved by so-called luck.
The Japanese troops on the left and right wings immediately entered their respective positions when they saw the cavalry charging madly, and then waited for the order from the main position division headquarters for the entire army to break out.
The Japanese troops on both wings also fell into brief chaos.
To leave or not to leave was actually a dilemma for the Japanese army with rich combat experience.
If we leave, it means losing the trenches that can withstand the cavalry front. But if we don't leave, when the Chinese infantry regroup, nearly 4,000 Chinese troops will be able to separate and surround them. By then, the entire army will most likely be annihilated.
I can't even leave even if I want to.
However, Terube Tanibe's prompt decision still pointed the way to the two Japanese army captains. The Japanese army was originally a very hierarchical army. No matter whether the orders of the superiors were wise or stupid, the orders of the subordinates must be carried out unconditionally.
It can be said that soldiers have the duty to obey orders, and the Japanese army did it perfectly.
Therefore, while the main force of the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield was still desperately holding rifles against the galloping cavalry, the two Japanese brigades on the two wings began their respective breakthroughs.
Abandoning the last trench, they ran wildly towards the mountains on both sides. Only by entering the mountains and forests could they escape the terrifying hooves of the cavalry.
The Japanese troops on both wings had already fled, and the Japanese troops fleeing in all directions on the frontal battlefield had completely lost the last possibility of the 8th Division's existence to the Mariana Trench.
In other words, from the moment Teruo Tanibe, whose head had been split open, ordered the entire army to break out, the 8th Division's fate was doomed.
Because both ifs are gone.
If you want to escape with your life from the pursuit of more than 1,200 cavalry, unless you are really favored by Amaterasu, almost no one can escape.
What's more, there are more than 2,000 anti-Japanese and national salvation troops following behind to take advantage.
The peasant army, which had already tested its courage in the Japanese attack for nearly an hour, rushed out of the position under the leadership of more than 100 people under Liu Dazhu who jumped out of the trenches when the cavalry chased the fleeing Japanese army. Their goal was
All creatures wearing khaki military uniforms that are still active on the battlefield.
Even if a finger can move, it will be attacked by the bayonets of several Type 38 rifles.
Hatred is no longer just about being plundered and humiliated. Nearly a thousand Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army soldiers fell in a pool of blood in the previous 50 minutes. And almost all of the three thousand Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army soldiers came to the ten miles and eight villages of Huanghuagang.
Brothers, some are brothers-in-law, and there are even fathers and sons.
Almost everyone who fell was a living relative.
Hatred must be washed away with blood.
In the end, only one Japanese soldier managed to escape from the frontal position.
The Japanese troops in the main position were trampled into powder the moment they passed by two four-mile-long cavalry walls at a high speed of 60 miles.
The headquarters of the Eighth Division, which sent out the message for the entire army to break out of the encirclement, were all killed from Tanibe Shitoki on down.
However, Matsuda Kunizo, who went to supervise the battle on the left wing, luckily escaped with his life.
However, when the Japanese troops on the left wing desperately moved forward, hoping to break through the Chinese position with 1,500 troops and escape into the mountains, they did not encounter the blockage they imagined. What greeted them were dozens of smoking iron barrels.
.
The three hundred people led by Shi Datou and Niu Er had already been able to sneak as far as they wanted. Those three hundred rookies were definitely just a good dessert in front of a thousand Japanese troops who were desperate.
The commander of Matsuda's Third Brigade, who narrowly escaped with his life, must have been feeling very complicated at that moment.
However, judging from the way he spit out a mouthful of blood, it was obvious that his broken heart definitely outweighed his joy.
