However, what made Men Bingyue so angry that he vomited blood again was that almost at the same time that the 39th Regiment and the 40th Regiment on the left and right wings arrived at the battlefield, the Japanese reinforcements from the rear banner on the right wing of Ordos also arrived to take charge of surveillance.
The Thirty-seventh Cavalry Regiment actually failed to stop the Japanese. Men Bingyue was so angry that he ordered the commander of the Thirty-seventh Regiment to be killed on the spot.
The commander of the Thirty-seventh Regiment actually died unjustly, because Men Bingyue had forgotten that when the battle just started, he personally gave the order to the Thirty-seventh Regiment. If the Japs from the Ordos Right Rear Banner came for reinforcements, they should not
Stop them and let them come over, so the Thirty-seventh Regiment just carried out the order and did not make any mistakes.
But Men Bingyue was not wrong, because he had changed his previous order.
It was the signal soldier who was wrong, because there was no reference point in the vast expanse of prairie, and it was also cloudy at that time. There was no sun as a reference point, so he couldn't even tell the difference between south, east and west. In the end, the signal soldier ran in the opposite direction and didn't.
Able to convey Men Bingyue's latest orders to the 37th Regiment in a timely manner.
But there were not so many reasons to talk about on the battlefield. Men Bingyue was not in the mood at all and had no time to find out the truth, so he directly ordered the commander of the 37th Regiment to be arrested and shot. However, even if the commander of the 37th Regiment was shot
, the situation on the battlefield would not be reversed because of this. After the Japanese and puppet Mongolian troops arrived, the situation once again fell into a stalemate.
At this time, the wisest choice for the 7th Cavalry Division was to withdraw its troops immediately.
However, at this time, Men Bingyue was already riding a tiger, and he was obviously unwilling to give up the fat meat that was about to come to his mouth. However, if he continued to fight, he would most likely be entangled by the Japanese reinforcements coming from the surrounding areas. Once he fell into the enemy's trap,
The situation becomes very difficult if we are surrounded by people. Maybe what happened half a month ago will happen again.
Men Bingyue hesitated, so he called his three brigade commanders together to make a plan.
After the four people met, they decided to fight for another half hour. If the Japanese still couldn't be eliminated within half an hour, it would not be too late to evacuate the battlefield. However, once some things opened a gap, it would not be so easy to close it. Half an hour
Finally, although the Japanese on the high platform suffered heavy casualties, they still resisted.
Men Bingyue wanted to withdraw his troops, but the commander of the 42nd Regiment, who was responsible for the main attack, knelt in front of him: "Master, please let our regiment attack again. This last time, the position will be captured soon!"
By this time, the commander of the 42nd Regiment was already worried. Their regiment had invested so much money in this position. More than a dozen battalion and company level officers had been killed in the battle. Seeing the people on the high ground,
There are only a few Japanese and puppet troops left, and it looks like they can win if they try harder. How can you make him willing to withdraw his troops at this time?
"Master, let us attack again!" Seeing the leader kneel down, the remaining members of the 42nd Regiment also knelt down one after another.
Looking at the officers and soldiers of the 42nd Regiment kneeling on the ground, Men Bingyue finally took back his orders and said: "Okay, then I will give you one last chance, but I hope that your 42nd Regiment can realize its shame and become brave again.
This time, no matter what, we must seize the position and kill all these stupid little devils!"
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers of the 42nd Regiment responded loudly.
Then, the 42nd Regiment launched another attack.
This time, the 42nd Regiment really lived up to its mission. After paying the price of hundreds of officers and soldiers including the regiment leader being killed, they finally captured the high ground. The Japanese and the puppet Mongolian troops stationed on the high ground were also attacked.
Total annihilation, however, of the two Japanese squads that entered the battle one after another, as well as the two companies of the Puppet Mongolian Army, bought time for the 26th Division to encircle them.
After capturing the high ground, the 7th Cavalry Division had no time to celebrate. The 37th Regiment responsible for peripheral surveillance issued continuous warnings.
In a moment, dozens of cavalry and signal soldiers rushed in front of Men Bingyue and reported that they had found Japanese soldiers.
Men Bingyue ordered his adjutant to take out the map and mark the enemy situation reported by the signal corps on the map. Only to find that the Japanese were spotted in the four directions at the same time! And it was not a small group of Japanese but a large army of Japanese in each direction.
The Japs range from an infantry brigade to a regiment at most!
At this point, if Men Bingyue still doesn't know that this is a trap, then he is really stupid.
"Damn it!" Men Bingyue said through gritted teeth, "We were fooled, this is a trap!"
"Fishing!" Mrs. Zhao, commander of the 19th Cavalry Brigade, nodded and said, "The little devil is using this small unit as bait to catch our fish. It's a shame that we didn't pay attention for a moment and actually got fooled!"
Hu Fengchun, commander of the 20th Cavalry Brigade, said urgently: "Master, please break out quickly!"
Men Bingyue nodded and said sternly: "Order, the entire division will break out of the encirclement in separate company units!"
Men Bingyue gave an order, and the remaining 2,000 cavalrymen of the 7th Cavalry Division immediately divided into company units and broke out in more than a dozen different directions. However, it was too late to think of breaking out at this time, because
In addition to the 26th Division, there was also the 2nd Cavalry Brigade under the Mongolian Army Cavalry Group that pounced from all directions!
…
At the rear banner of the right wing of Ordos, the headquarters of the 26th Division.
The task of luring the enemy was completed, and Anda Twenty-Three returned to the headquarters.
When Adachi 23 got out of the car, Kuroda Shigenori, the commander of the 26th Division, was already waiting at the entrance of the headquarters with his chief of staff, Isamu, and a dozen combat staff officers.
"Mr. Anda, thank you for your hard work." Kuroda Chongqing strode forward to greet him and saluted.
Anda Twenty-Three raised his hand in return, and then followed him inside while asking: "Division commander, are the infantry brigades responsible for blocking the attack and the fourth cavalry brigade responsible for the pursuit in place?"
Before Kuroda Shigenori could answer, Chief of Staff Isamu, who was half a step behind, rushed to say: "Your Excellency, the regiment commander, the eight infantry brigades participating in the blocking and the seven cavalry squadrons pursuing are all in place. Therefore, although the cavalry of the China Army
The Seventh Division is already breaking out separately, but it is absolutely impossible for them to break out."
"Yo Xi." Anda Twenty-Three nodded happily and added, "If we can really annihilate the Seventh Cavalry Division of the Chinese Army this time, we will have to cut off one of Fu Zuoyi's arms. This will be of great help to the next stage of our army stationed in Mongolia.
The offensive operation, that is, the battle to encircle and annihilate Fu Zuoyi's main force, is of great benefit."
Changyong nodded and said: "Hai."
…
It is about twenty miles away from the Ordos Right Rear Banner.
Men Bingyue personally led the divisional guard cavalry company to rush out from a small forest, and met a group of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were about a small group in strength and were pushing forward with a sparse skirmish line.
After the Chinese cavalry encountered the enemy, this small group of Japanese soldiers immediately opened fire violently.
Men Bingyue knew that he must not fight with the Japs now. If they could not escape in time, they would definitely die when the Japs nearby heard the news and arrived! Without a moment's hesitation, Men Bingyue immediately ordered to break out of the encirclement at full speed!
The speed of the cavalry was still very fast. In less than a minute, the guard cavalry company had already passed through the little Japanese skirmisher line. However, this short exchange of fire, which was less than a minute, caused more than ten cavalry casualties to the guard cavalry company.
There were casualties, and many others were injured. Even Men Bingyue was shot in the leg, and the right half of his body immediately lost consciousness.
If Men Bingyue hadn't been a good horseman, he would have fallen off his horse.
After being broken through by the guard cavalry company, the Japanese in that group did not pursue them, because they had completed their mission. On the next road, there would be more such search teams, waiting for the Chinese cavalry! Wait until the Chinese cavalry that broke through passed by.
After the blockade formed by more than ninety Japanese search teams, how many riders can be left?
On the periphery, there will be cavalry from the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, waiting for the Chinese cavalry.
Therefore, after the guard cavalry company broke through the defense line, the Japanese team leader was not in a hurry at all.
Let’s go back to the guard cavalry company led by Men Bingyue. Less than 500 meters further, they encountered another Japanese search team. After a firefight, they lost ten more cavalry!
Next, the guard cavalry company encountered six or seven Japanese search teams in succession. After repeated fierce battles, the number of the guard cavalry company was quickly reduced from the initial more than a hundred cavalry to less than forty. Then, when they broke through the eighth
After calling the Japs search team, the most worrying thing happened, the Japs cavalry appeared!
At least a small group and more than forty Japanese cavalry lined up to block the way.
Seeing the Japanese cavalry, Men Bingyue knew that he was in big trouble today, because the cavalry had a natural speed advantage over the infantry and could easily escape the pursuit of the infantry. However, the cavalry had no advantage over the cavalry, and the war horses of the Japanese cavalry were
They are all improved horses after the introduction of Arabian horse breeds. They are faster and have good endurance.
"Damn it, let's fight with those stupid little devils!" Men Bingyue straightened his clothes and hat, slowly raised his sharp saber, and then howled, "All of you are here, come with me...
…”
The next moment, Men Bingyue urged his war horses and rushed towards the Japanese in front.
"Charge..." Seeing the division commander launching a charge, the last thirty or so cavalrymen of the guard cavalry company urged their horses, raised their sabers high, and charged forward. In a moment, the thirty or so cavalrymen had already left.
The jogging turned into a fast running, and finally it converged into a torrent of cavalry, sweeping towards the Japanese like a flood that burst its embankments.
Seeing the Chinese cavalry charging towards them, the Japanese cavalry were not to be outdone.
"Keng..." The leading Japanese cavalry officer slowly drew out his saber and raised it high above his head.
After a pause, the Japanese cavalry officer drew his sword forward, and the more than forty cavalrymen lined up behind him immediately howled like wild beasts, and then urged their horses to rush towards the Chinese cavalry.
The two were facing each other, and in the blink of an eye they hit each other hard.
The next moment, the sounds of clashing weapons, the neighing of war horses, the roaring and cursing of war horses, and the shattering of human bodies and the bones of war horses were intertwined together, forming a piece of music of death.
