cpa300_4; The atmosphere before a war is often the most solemn. Time passed by little by little, but no signal flares were seen rising from the Japanese positions in front. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion gradually became impatient. [Maopp latest chapter]
When this person is impatient, he will inevitably talk a lot, and what he says is not very nice.
"Tell me, Yingzuo, is that person named Xu playing tricks on us? They didn't go to the Japanese at all?"
"I'm surprised. With less than ten of them, they still want to take down the Japanese headquarters? Just dream!"
"Bingzuo, go and talk to Shizuo quickly and cancel the attack. We can't let others fool us."
"It's just that they have no good intentions. They want to use our 180th Division as cannon fodder. We must not fall for their deception. Camp, please go and talk to us."
The platoon leaders of several companies around him became more and more unpleasant, and Tiegang immediately became angry.
"Shut up!" Tiegang yelled in a low voice, "Whoever dares to be so careless and disturbs the morale of the army before the war, I will shoot him now!"
To be honest, Tiegang was also not optimistic about Xu Rui's beheading plan, and he also couldn't understand why the master would agree to such a crazy plan? If it failed, their 180th Division would suffer
A heavy damage may even threaten the entire Huaihe River defense line. How will you explain it to the military commander then?
But he couldn't figure it out. As a soldier, Tiegang chose to obey resolutely.
Seeing several companies, the platoon leader was still a little unconvinced. Tiegang sighed and said: "You don't even think about it. Captain Xu first gave us a whole regiment of Japanese weapons and equipment in Hai'an, and now it's a timely help.
He sent us a large amount of ammunition when we were in the most difficult situation. Do you think he will be a person who breaks his word?"
After a pause, Tiegang continued: "You may not know that just yesterday, the Dameishan Independent Brigade led by Captain Xu fought a positional battle with the Japanese Military Police in Pu County. Originally, there was no need to follow them.
When the Japanese engage in positional warfare, they want to attract the attention of the Japanese so that they can move their troops to southern Anhui to attack their Dameishan base. They are trying to reduce the pressure on us, do you know?"
Several companies and platoon leaders finally fell silent. They really didn't know this.
Tiegang said again: "Now Captain Xu has personally led the special operations team to help us fight, but you are orchestrating others behind our backs. Don't you feel guilty?"
A few companies later, the platoon leader showed a look of shame on his face.
Tiegang added: "I am not optimistic about this battle plan either, but people who are not from our 180th Division are willing to risk their lives to help us. Why do we, our own people, have any reason to back down?"
While he was talking, a scream of "whoosh" suddenly sounded from the Japanese camp in front.
The next moment, a red signal flare had already soared into the sky, looking so eye-catching in the night sky!
"Signal flare!" Guard platoon leader Tie Xiaogang immediately shouted, "The camp seat is Captain Xu's flare!"
Tiegang stood up suddenly, and Chitu quickly followed suit. Tiegang got on his horse again, then drew out his saber and drew it forward, looking up to the sky and roaring: "Cavalry battalion, attack..."
Almost at the same time that Tiegang led the cavalry battalion to launch the attack, the mortar company directly under the 180th Division also launched an artillery bombardment on the Japanese outer positions. Rows of shells fell on the Japanese defensive positions and exploded violently. The red explosion produced
The light illuminated almost half of the night sky and also illuminated the cavalry battalion's charging path.
The steel butt was suspended in the air, and the whole person stood on the stirrups like a straight "7". He leaned forward as much as possible, controlled the reins with one hand, and held the saber high with the other. The red rabbit under his crotch ran faster and faster, until finally
As he charged, Tiegang could only hear the roaring wind filling his ears. In front of him, the Japs' position was rapidly approaching.
Tie Gang's expression was highly concentrated, staring at the Japanese soldiers on the front position. In an instant, everything in the whole world seemed to slow down, and the sound of wind whistling into his ears disappeared, because the extremely fast sprint brought
The bumpy feeling disappeared, and even the movements of the Japanese in front became extremely slow.
Ahead, on the Japs' position, the two Japs were like mechanical dolls. They slowly pulled the gun bolt, slowly pushed the bullet into the chamber, and then slowly raised the gun. Then, a ball of red flames burst out from the muzzle of the gun. Iron steel
You can even clearly see the trajectory traced by the bullet as it flies through the air after it is fired from the enemy's gun.
"Whoops!" One of the red lights passed by, almost grazing Iron Steel's ears.
Then, the whole world immediately returned to its original state. The sound of the blowing wind, the violent explosions, the shrieking sound of bullets flying across the night sky, the sound of horse hooves, and the cry of killing, everything came back violently.
The whole world suddenly turned from extremely quiet to extremely turbulent, and the two Japs were in front of Tiegang in an instant.
Without any time to think about it, Tie Gang only had time to press down the saber in his hand slightly.
"Sand!" A cold light flashed, and the falling saber was pulled from the neck of the Japs on the left. Tie Gang didn't exert much force at all, but the sharp saber still cut through most of the Japs' neck, and the Japs spun around.
He fell a few steps away, only twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Tiegang didn't even have time to see whether the Japanese was alive or dead. Chitu had already led him across the trench and deep into the hinterland of the Japanese defense line. A Japanese officer who had clearly just woken up from his sleep came up to him waving his saber. This time Chitu took him
After the rabbit jumps, its speed decreases, so Tie Gang's swing of the sword becomes much more calm.
"Sand!" As the men and horses intertwined, the steel saber struck from top to bottom, diagonally hitting the Japanese soldier's chest.
A deep trough of blood was immediately opened on the front of the Japs from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and even his chest was cut open. Sections of his small intestine gurgled out from the gap. The Japs desperately tried to stuff them back.
In the end, he couldn't get what he wanted. Finally, the Japanese official fell to the ground screaming.
After killing two Japs in a row, Tiegang continued to urge Chitu forward. He must not stop at this time, because the target of the cavalry was too big. Once it stopped on the battlefield, it would immediately become a target for the infantry to practice shooting.
, Tiegang urged Chitu to speed up again and rush towards the Japanese's second line of defense.
(Dividing line)
Almost at the same time, Xiang Tianhu had rushed out of the forward observation post.
Yan Yuhui stood nearby and advised Xiang Tianhu: "Master, please go back quickly, it's too dangerous here!"
The forward observation post is only less than a hundred meters away from the Japs' forward position. If the Japs discover that a lieutenant general is here, they can change the entire battle situation with just one shell. Of course, at this time, the Japs are still
Whether or not you have the ability to fire cannonballs here is a question.
So Xiang Tianhu was unmoved at all. He held up a telescope to observe the battlefield and said, "It's okay. The person who can kill me, Xiang Tianhu, has not yet been born from his mother's womb."
Yan Yuhui persuaded them for a while, but stopped trying. They only asked a few guards to come forward and form a human wall in front of Xiang Tianhu, but Xiang Tianhu still thought they were an eyesore and pushed them away.
Regarding the battle tonight, Xiang Tianhu was actually sweating.
Although Xu Rui's record in Wuxi, Baoxing and Nantong was extremely brilliant, Xiang Tianhu had not personally participated in those battles, so he still had doubts about Xu Rui's ability, but Xiang Tianhu also figured it out.
Even if the battle is lost tonight, the result will not be worse than it is now.
The sky is high, and at worst, the position on the south bank of the Huaihe River will be completely lost, and we will retreat to the north bank.
But if the bet wins, the defensive posture of the 180th Division will be greatly improved immediately. After removing the Japanese protrusion, the 180th Division will have an easier time dispatching troops and transporting supplies.
It is said that the 180th Division can hold on on the south bank of the Huaihe River for at least half a month!
Therefore, until Xu Rui fired the signal bomb, Xiang Tianhu's heart was hanging.
It wasn't until the red flare launched by Xu Rui took off that Xiang Tianhu's heart finally fell to the ground, and he really gained some confidence in winning the battle tonight.
"What a great boy, you really did it!" Xiang Tianhu praised him.
"Brother Xu is indeed not simple." Yan Yuhui also sincerely admired him.
It didn't take long for the battle reports from the battlefield ahead to flow back to the forward observation post.
"Reporting to the division commander, the cavalry battalion has torn through the Japanese's first line of defense!"
"Reporting to the division seat, the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 541st Regiment has rushed in through the opening."
"Reporting to the division seat, the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 541st Regiment have found the entrance to the tunnel and are blocking it!"
"Reporting to the division seat, the left-wing Japanese army sent an infantry brigade to reinforce, and the 540th Regiment is blocking the attack."
"Reporting to the division seat, the cavalry battalion has torn apart the second line of defense of the Japanese. However, when it stormed the second line of defense, it was blocked by Japanese side fire, causing heavy casualties!"
Xiang Tianhu immediately shouted: "Tell Gangzi, don't be afraid of casualties. As long as the ghost's protruding part can be pulled out this time, I will definitely replenish him later. I will replenish him as many horses as he loses!"
"Yes!" the ordering soldier responded loudly, turned around, mounted his horse, and flew away.
Xiang Tianhu raised the telescope again, but the direction of observation was not the main attack direction of the cavalry battalion. The direction facing him was the Japanese headquarters located at the highest point of the high ground in front. Although it was extremely far away, Xiang Tianhu could still see the faint sight above.
The fire caused by the explosion suddenly bloomed, and it was obvious that Xu Rui's special operations team was fighting fiercely with the enemy there.
Yan Yuhui guessed Xiang Tianhu's thoughts and whispered: "Master, it will take time for the cavalry battalion to tear through the Japanese's third line of defense. I'm worried that Brother Xu's special operations divisions will not be able to last until then.
.”
Xiang Tianhu put down the telescope and said solemnly: "Brother Xu, there are two pros and cons. Even if I owe Tianhu a favor this time, I will definitely repay it heavily in the future!"
Yan Yuhui remained silent. He knew that Xiang Tianhu had always said the same thing. The five words he said, "repay", carried a very heavy weight, and they were not just casual words.
After a pause, Xiang Tianhu said again: "But I am more willing to believe that Brother Xu will be fine. Wuxi, Baoxing, Nantong, and by the way, there are so many vicious battles and so many storms in Qixing Lake.
He's already survived, how can he possibly be defeated in this little battle?"
Yan Yuhui echoed: "What Master said is absolutely true, and I think so too."
Xiang Tianhu raised the telescope again and said in a deep voice: "When this battle is over, I will follow him!"
