≈ The sudden outbreak of fighting alerted Yoshio Katamura who was resting.
When Katamura Yoshio hurriedly stood up to take a look, he saw in the dim firelight that the dark Chinese cavalry had already brandished their sharp sabers and charged towards the position of the 1st Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Squadron.
The first team didn't even have time to organize a decent resistance, and was rushed to pieces.
Facing the cavalry at full speed, unless the infantry has intensive machine gun firepower, you will be like a sheep, being slaughtered wantonly by the opponent.
The defense line of the 1st Infantry Squadron was quickly overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese cavalry divided into three groups, two of which drew two large arcs on the open ground, diagonally cutting towards the entrance and exit of Teapot Au. The purpose of these two groups of cavalry was self-evident.
The metaphor is to cooperate with the Chinese soldiers in the entrance and exit directions to destroy the Japanese troops in these two directions.
The remaining cavalry rushed straight towards the core defensive position where Katamura Yoshio was. Katamura Yoshio could even clearly hear the killing cry of the Chinese cavalry.
"Baga, Baga Yalu!" Yoshio Katamura gritted his teeth and roared, "Why does the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment have so many cavalry? Why does the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment have cavalry? Those idiots from the Extra High School Course are
What do they do for food? What do these idiots do for food? What else can they do? What else can they do?"
In the film, the righteous man in the village was furious and let out an angry roar.
The sudden appearance of the Chinese cavalry caught the Japanese army by surprise!
Because all the defensive deployments of the Japanese army are aimed at infantry, not cavalry!
The righteous man in the village never expected that there would be an established cavalry in the Dameishan Independent Regiment!
As an old Japanese soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, Katamura Yoshio knows better than anyone else that Katamura's brigade is finished!
In the open plain terrain, unless the infantry has sufficient heavy machine gun firepower and makes defensive arrangements in advance, there is only one result, and that is to be slaughtered by the cavalry like chickens and dogs!
So, does the Katamura brigade have enough machine gun firepower?
The answer is yes, the Katamura brigade has a heavy machine gun squadron, equipped with six Type 92 heavy machine guns!
If these six Type 92 heavy machine guns are gathered together and fortifications are built in advance to defend against cavalry attacks, not to mention a mere cavalry squadron, even an entire cavalry brigade will not be afraid at all. But unfortunately, these six
Four of the heavy machine guns have been deployed to the north and south wings by Katamura Yoshio!
Now, there are only two heavy machine guns left with Yoshio in the village.
In addition, there is a light machine gun as standard for each infantry squad.
In other words, there are only five light and heavy machine guns left in the core defensive position.
To make matters worse, the Piancunli brigade was not prepared to defend against the cavalry attack at all. They neither dug horse pits, nor deployed barbed wire, nor deployed antlers to resist the horses.
Therefore, Katamura Yoshio could already foresee the outcome of the Japanese army.
Despite his anger, Katamura Yoshio did not lose his composure.
Facing the surging Chinese cavalry, the righteous man in the village raised his saber fiercely and roared loudly at the machine gunners of several light and heavy machine guns in front of him: "Tear the silk, throw the silk, tear the silk...
"
"Throw silk here, throw silk here, throw silk here..." The commanders of several light and heavy machine guns also roared, and the machine gunners pressed the triggers at the same time, two Type 92 heavy machine guns and three crooked handles
The light machine guns sprayed out fierce firepower at the same time, and the scorching bullets were like dense raindrops, violently splashing on the surging Chinese cavalry.
(Dividing line)
Tiegang stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and rested his right leg weakly on the saddle. At the same time, he hugged Chitu's horse's neck with both hands, and pressed his whole body tightly against the left side of Chitu's horse to reduce the weight as much as possible.
He was a minor target, but even so, Tie Gang could not guarantee that he would not be hit by the Japanese bullets, and that he would definitely survive to the end.
The red rabbit horse has already started to speed up completely, and Tie Gang can even feel the blood flowing rapidly in its veins.
Looking up, Tiegang could clearly see the beautiful red flowers blooming on the Japs' position. They were the muzzle flames ejected from the Japs' machine guns. They looked so beautiful, but in fact, they were nothing.
It is a life-threatening flame. With every muzzle flame blooming, there will inevitably be a dazzling tongue of flames sweeping over.
One of the tongues of fire almost passed by Tie Gang's ears. The extremely short and piercing scream almost pierced his eardrums. Looking back, he saw that the dazzling tongues of fire had intertwined into a sheet.
The dazzling cross fire net passed by, and the cavalry rushing forward behind him fell one by one.
Tie Gang's pupils were instantly filled with blood, and his heart was bleeding.
These are his cavalry, all his years of training and care!
"Little devil, I call you your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Tiegang's heart was bleeding, but at this time, before he crossed this journey of death, he could only do very little except roaring. Apart from roaring, the only thing he could do was
All he can do is pray that Red Rabbit can cross this journey of death as soon as possible.
However, war is cruel. She will never favor you just because you are a commander, and bullets will not fly around you just because you are a master of cavalry combat! During the march, the red rabbit under the steel body has no trace of anything.
The sign trembled for a moment, then raised its head and let out a long mournful hiss, and suddenly stood up.
Tie Gang was caught off guard and was thrown high into the air.
"Boom!" The red rabbit horse stood up first, and then fell down. The horse's head hit the ground heavily, and then the whole huge body suddenly turned up again, rolled several times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
When he landed again, he was already in front of the Japanese defensive position. Where the red rabbit rolled past, smoke and dust instantly filled the sky.
Tie Gang also flew forward more than ten meters under the action of inertia before falling heavily to the ground.
Falling off a sprinting war horse is no joke. The sprinting speed of a war horse exceeds 60 kilometers per hour. You can completely imagine what the result will be if you fall off a car at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour? Iron steel back
It landed on the ground, bounced up suddenly, landed again, rolled forward continuously, and finally fell into a ditch before finally stopping.
Tiegang fell headlong into the ditch, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but the charge of the Third Cavalry Company did not stop because of this.
Seeing their beloved battalion commander shot and knocked off his horse, the cavalry officers of the third company were instantly furious. They howled like wounded beasts, wildly urged their horses, and charged forward like crazy. The cavalrymen in front of them were furious.
After falling down, the cavalry behind immediately leapt past without any pause!
In less than a hundred meters, nearly half of the third company was killed or injured!
Including the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang, nearly forty cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood.
However, the remaining forty cavalry are enough to kill all the little devils!
After paying a heavy price of nearly forty cavalry, the Third Cavalry Company finally rushed to the Japs defensive position, and then crashed into it with a roar like a violent roar. The Japs on the position were instantly knocked to pieces.
All of a sudden, a few Japanese soldiers died under the saber, but many more died under the iron hoof.
When infantry faces cavalry, once they enter into close combat, the outcome is already doomed.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill them all, kill, kill, kill them, kill all these dogs..."
The commander of the third cavalry company, Tie Xiaogang, had already killed him, urging his horses to violently clash back and forth on the battlefield. When he encountered the Japanese, dead or alive, or kneeling and surrendering, he cut them down without any explanation, and the other forty or so cavalry officers also
His eyes turned red, and he urged his war horses to rush back and forth on the battlefield, chasing and killing the Japanese who were fleeing in embarrassment.
"Go to hell!" Tie Xiaogang caught up with a Japanese from behind and chopped him off without any explanation.
The Japanese's reaction was also very fast. At the critical moment, he suddenly turned around and turned around. A sharp saber blocked Tie Xiaogang's saber, and the two sabers struck each other. There was an instant explosion of light, and Tie Xiaogang suddenly felt
The tiger's mouth felt numb for a while, but the Japanese was even more unbearable and flew backwards with the knife in hand.
The adopted man in the village dragged his feet on the floor and slid back seven or eight steps before finally sitting down heavily on the ground.
After landing, Katamura Yoshio struggled to get up, but he felt that his whole body was sore and weak, and his chest and lungs were so suffocated that they were about to explode. He suddenly raised his head, and Katamura Yoshio faced Tie Xiaogang.
Tie Xiaogang's eyes were wide open and angry, and because of the extreme hatred, Tie Xiaogang's eyes were severely bloodshot, as red as a demon from hell!
"You little dog like a dog, die!" Tie Xiaogang urged his horse to rush towards him, and slashed him head-on with his sword again.
Katamura's righteous man's arms were so weak that he could hardly lift them. He was unable to block and could only watch helplessly as the opponent's saber slashed him down.
The next moment, the righteous man in Katamura heard a faint sound, and then found himself flying into the air suddenly, and then the whole world began to roll violently. He didn't know how many times it rolled before the whole world suddenly stopped again.
When he came down, he saw his adjutant Ogasawara holding a saber and roaring loudly.
Then, Yoshio Katamura saw that the Chinese cavalryman rushed past Ogasawara just now. The saber in the hands of the Chinese cavalryman suddenly fell and rose, and Ogasawara's head flew into the air, flying in the air.
Far away, he fell to the ground with a pop. After landing, Ogasawara's eyes were right at him.
Katamura Yoshio saw it clearly, and Ogasawara blinked at him.
Then, Katamura Yoshio's consciousness fell into endless darkness.
"Xu Xu..." Tie Xiaogang gently stopped the war horse, but his cruel eyes stared ten steps ahead like a wolf.
About ten steps ahead, a Japanese man was kneeling in front of the radio. He looked back at Tie Xiaogang from time to time with fearful eyes. However, his men did not pause for a moment. He kept pressing the button, and the radio on the ground continued to emit.
There was a beeping sound. This kid was a telegraph operator and was spending his last moments sending a telegram to the detachment headquarters.
