Seeing Tiegang, Xu Rui was a little surprised. Shouldn't Tiegang be lying on a bed in the field hospital?
However, Tiegang chuckled and said proudly: "Old Xu, you are really shameless. You didn't even inform me of such a big battle. If Xiaogang hadn't told me secretly, I would have almost missed this battle.
,Besides, how can such a major combat operation be carried out without my participation in Tiegang?"
Tiegang had already arrived, so Xu Rui didn't bother to lecture him anymore, and asked with concern: "Is your health okay?"
"No problem, everything is fine. Look, Old Xu." In order to show that his injuries had healed, Tiegang used his fists to punch his chest until it made a banging sound. However, only Tiegang himself knew that there was still some faintness when he slapped it on his chest.
It hurts, which shows that the wound has not completely healed. I hope it has not cracked.
"Okay, stop patting. If you pat again, the wound will open again." Xu Rui said angrily, "Come on, but I will not lower my requirements for you just because you are a wounded person, let alone because of this
Cancel the accountability of you, the battalion commander, your cavalry battalion arrived half an hour later than scheduled, what’s going on?”
Tiegang chuckled and said, "Something happened on the way here, so we were delayed for more than half an hour."
Tiegang said that he was delayed for more than half an hour, but his tone did not indicate any remorse or guilt. Looking at the look of dismay on his face, being late for half an hour was more of an honor.
"Hey, is it reasonable to be late?" Xu Rui said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Tie Gang chuckled, turned around and said to Tie Xiaogang: "Xiao Gang, come and tell the leader what happened."
"Yes!" Tie Xiaogang stood at attention, first saluted Xu Rui, and then said loudly, "Report to the commander, our cavalry battalion encountered the Japs' cavalry regiment on the way to Yematan. In order to deal with it,
The Japanese cavalry regiment, so it was delayed for a while...?"
"What?"
"Devil Cavalry?"
"Cavalry Regiment?"
"You killed the Japanese cavalry regiment?!"
As soon as Tie Xiaogang finished speaking, the jaws of He Guangming and his three company commanders almost dropped in shock.
If someone says that the combat effectiveness of Japanese infantry is stronger than that of Chinese infantry, many Chinese veterans who have fought on bloody battlefields may find it difficult to agree, such as the veterans of the 79th Route Army, or those who have been tempered hard by the 25,000-mile Long March.
Later veterans of the Red Army would probably be dismissive of such superficial views.
But if you want to say that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry is better than that of the Chinese cavalry, no Chinese cavalry will object. Even veterans like Tiegang must admit that the Japanese cavalry is stronger than the Chinese in terms of training, equipment, and technical and tactical capabilities.
The cavalry is not just a little stronger, but a lot stronger.
However, now, the cavalry battalion has killed a Japanese cavalry regiment with equal strength!
Xu Rui was also a little surprised and said in a deep voice: "Gangzi, it's okay. I was just worried about the cavalry unit of the Kawaguchi detachment. I didn't expect that this trouble has been solved by your cavalry battalion. Tell me how you got rid of it."
The Japanese cavalry regiment? How on earth was this battle fought?"
Xu Rui asked the question that everyone wanted to ask. At that moment, He Guangming, Yao Lei, Gao Chu, Zhu Chen and other company commanders all pricked up their ears. They all wanted to know how the cavalry battalion fought this battle?
Tiegang chuckled and said proudly: "Old Xu, didn't you tell me last time that the cavalry of the little devils are basically from the warrior class, and the pride of these little devils has been integrated into their bones? So, I will
I'm thinking that once we encounter them on the battlefield and assume a cavalry hedging posture, with the pride of the little devils, they will definitely not bother to compete with us in terms of firepower, but will compete with us in the killing skills on horseback. What do you think?
right?"
"No way?" Huang Shouxin immediately questioned and said, "Since the First World War, the cavalry is no longer a cavalry in a pure sense, but has become a dragoon, which is also a horse-riding cavalry.
Infantrymen only ride horses when marching at ordinary times. Once they enter the battlefield, all cavalrymen will dismount and participate in the battle like infantrymen.? .??`"
"Shou Xin, you are right. The current cavalry is indeed no longer a pure cavalry, but a dragoon, but..." Xu Rui paused here and said, "Little Japan's cavalry is by far the best."
, the only remaining army in the world that still retains the traditional cavalry combat concept, so if Gangzi’s cavalry assumes a cavalry hedging posture on the battlefield, the Japanese cavalry will definitely choose tit-for-tat.”
"That's right." Tiegang nodded heavily, "My three cavalry companies had just opened their cavalry formation, and the Japanese cavalry on the opposite side immediately opened their cavalry formation tit for tat, and then launched a charge first, let alone
, the little devil’s cavalry were so powerful when they charged, I almost peeed in fear.”
Xu Rui smiled when he heard this. Of course he could tell that this was just Tiegang's teasing.
He Guangming, Yao Lei, Zhu Chen, Gao Chu, Huang Shouxin, Mei Jiuling and other battalion company commanders also burst into laughter.
Tiegang changed the subject and added: "But this little devil is really stupid. He really thought that I would play some kind of cavalry hedging with them. They didn't expect that my infantry company had already ambushed in the cornfields on both sides.
, when the little Japs came within fifty meters, with just a sudden burst of firepower, the Japs cavalry formation was completely disrupted, and then, I led three cavalry companies to charge with only one, and beat the Japs cavalry to a pulp!"
He Guangming was stunned and said: "Is it that simple? The Japanese cavalry regiment was defeated like this?"
"It's that simple. The Japanese cavalry regiment was defeated by us like this." Tie Gang said, "Hey, Lao He, why don't you believe it? Xiao Gang, bring up the Japanese horses we captured and show them to Battalion Commander He.
Take a look."
Tie Xiaogang responded, and when dozens of cavalry soldiers brought nearly a hundred Oriental war horses, He Guangming and the company commanders all looked at this Oriental horse with tall shoulders, strong body, and shiny coat.
If you take a closer look, yes, just by looking at the luster of the coats of these war horses, you can tell that they are the Japanese horses of the little Japanese.
"My dear, did you really kill the Japanese cavalry unit?" He Guangming was still doubtful.
"Then there is still a lie." Tiegang chuckled and said proudly, "There are more than 300 Japanese cavalry, and almost forty or fifty cavalry have escaped. The rest will be cut down by us. If you don't believe it, you can
Go north, at the entrance of Guozhuang Village, less than ten miles away, where all the corpses of the little devils are laid out."
"If you don't believe it, I have to go take a look." He Guangming really didn't believe it, so he turned around and left.
"Okay, Lao He." Xu Rui stopped He Guangming. He Guangming couldn't believe it, but Xu Rui immediately believed it, because in the original time and space, such a scene had been staged on the Jizhong Plain.
Real cavalry duel.
At that time, the cavalry regiment directly under the Central Hebei Military Region of the Eighth Route Army also used the same tactics to eliminate a cavalry regiment of the Japanese. During the eight years of the War of Resistance, the Eighth Route Army fought tens of thousands of battles, large and small, and eliminated the Japanese and millions of puppet troops.
, but there are very few battles like this in which an organized regiment of Japanese soldiers are annihilated.
Xu Rui never expected that he just accidentally told Tiegang about the virtues of the Japanese cavalry, and that he would end up with a great victory for the cavalry battalion!
Well now, the Japanese cavalry regiment has been defeated, and the main force of the Kawaguchi detachment is also trapped on the Wild Horse Beach. In another two hours at most, that is, before dawn, the two and a half infantry regiments of the Kawaguchi detachment and the field artillery regiment will be
, I'm afraid they will turn into ashes, or they can choose to jump into the Mei River and die in the belly of the fish.
Now, only the Meizhen headquarters is left. There should be an engineer regiment of the Kawaguchi detachment, a heavy baggage regiment, plus some staff officers and medical personnel. Although the number is large, the combat effectiveness is almost negligible.
At least for the independent group, there is no threat at all.
Now, it's time to recapture Meizhen and bring this counter-sweeping operation to a successful conclusion.
So Xu Rui left a company of the 3rd Battalion to continue surveillance. In order to ensure that nothing unexpected happened, Xu Rui even left Leng Tiefeng's special forces team behind, and then personally led three infantry battalions, a machine gun company and a cavalry battalion.
Coming from Benmei Town, this time, the independent regiment did not choose the tunnel, but marched directly from the ground.
Now that the Kawaguchi detachment has become a turtle in a urn, there is no need to be secretive anymore.
Two hours later, when the first ray of sunlight appeared in the eastern sky, the independent regiment also appeared around Meizhen.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Chinese soldiers in the morning light, the Japanese who stayed behind at the headquarters immediately fell into panic.
Can the little Japanese not be frightened? Before midnight, the detachment leader Kawaguchi Heiji personally led two and a half infantry regiments, a cavalry regiment and an artillery regiment to mobilize the troops and launch a massive attack. As a result, not only did he fail to capture the Dameishan Independent Regiment, but
Let the independent regiment fight back outside the headquarters!
Just two hours ago, the detachment headquarters staying in Meizhen received a farewell telegram from the headquarters of the 101st Infantry Regiment. The telegram stated that the main force of the Kawaguchi Detachment, including the 101st Infantry Regiment, was six thousand.
The remaining people, except for the cavalry regiment, are missing, the rest of the troops have been trapped in Yematan, and are about to be collectively destroyed.
When they first received the telegram, the Japanese officers in the headquarters thought it was a joke.
But now the main force of the independent regiment suddenly appeared outside the headquarters. At this time, even an idiot knew that something must have happened to the main force of the attacking detachment.
However, what frightened the Japanese even more was yet to come.
After these Chinese soldiers rushed outside the headquarters, they were not in a hurry to attack, but just surrounded them. The Japanese soldiers who stayed at the headquarters originally thought that the Chinese soldiers were helpless because they lacked weapons to attack the enemy. However, ten minutes later, with the bombardment,
With a rumbling engine roar, a Type 95 light tank appeared outside the headquarters.
"Baga, Type 95 light tank?!"
"Baga Yalu, how come the Chinese Army has tanks from the Imperial Army?"
Seeing the Type 95 light tank approaching with great momentum, the Japanese soldiers stationed at the gate of the headquarters were instantly dumbfounded. Amaterasu, how can we fight this battle?!
