Soon the adjutant rushed back with a solemn look on his face.
"Sir, there are more than one regiment of the Eighth Route Army gathered outside Liulin City now, and there are also Eighth Route Army troops gathered in the county from different places... Judging from this posture, the Eighth Route Army has at least one brigade of troops hidden in our rear area!"
"We must immediately mobilize troops to help Liulin, otherwise, Liulin will definitely be captured by the Eighth Route Army tonight!" Colonel Yongsheng said with a decisive look on his face.
"Liulin has hoarded all our combat supplies for two months. Once it is breached, these supplies will be gone. I dare say we will save the food we have left. It will be enough to last until we withdraw from the Eighth Route Army base area. Ammunition is not enough.
The remaining ammunition can only last for one day according to this combat intensity. After one day, we will use up all the ammunition, and by then, even self-protection will be a problem!"
The adjutant frowned and suggested: "Cavalry Regiment, only the Cavalry Regiment can quickly return to Liulin's aid!"
"The cavalry is fast. If we set out now, we can reach Liulin in three hours!"
"It's just that, as a result, we only have two thousand people left, of which there are less than 1,500 combat troops!"
Colonel Yongsheng agreed without hesitation: "Let the cavalry regiment pass!"
"The Cavalry Regiment has strong maneuverability and assault capabilities. The terrain around Liulin is flat, which is very suitable for them to fight. Let them reinforce Liulin, and maybe they can launch a counter-raid of the Eighth Route Army outside the city and severely damage them!"
"As for our safety, as long as we don't take the initiative, there will be no problem if we persist for one night."
"As soon as daybreak comes, the cavalry regiment that rescued Liulin will be able to come back, and they can also bring us the ammunition supplies we urgently need!"
"Order the cavalry regiment to set off now and return to support Liulin County!"
"Rumble..."
Amidst the deafening roar, it took less than two minutes for nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers from the cavalry regiment to all rush out of the station and slowly disappear along the road on the battlefield.
Li Fuquan, who was lurking around the Japanese garrison, shouted excitedly: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang is like a roundworm in the belly of the Japs. He said that the Japs Cavalry Regiment would return to help Liulin tonight, and indeed they did!"
Then he glanced at the three battalion commanders around him and ordered: "Comrades, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang took the other two regiments to fight against the Japanese Cavalry Regiment and went to eat meat. Although we were left here to drink soup, it's okay
It’s not bad to be independent and fight however you want..."
"And now that the Japanese cavalry regiment has left, there are only two thousand Japanese puppet troops left in the entire station, so there is no need to be afraid of them!"
"So, I plan to make some slight changes to tonight's night attack, changing the artillery's blind shooting into precision strike!"
"The troops are divided into battalions, each strengthening a mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun platoon, and sneak attacks on the Japanese garrison from three directions..."
"The specific attack is like this. Each battalion takes out a platoon, spreads it out as much as possible, launches an attack on the Japanese garrison, and forces the Japanese to counterattack."
"The artillery platoon uses a three-round rapid fire attack method. Let me keep an eye on the enemy's counterattack position and then move to a new position to continue fighting after the attack!"
"In this case, the accuracy of our shelling will be higher, and the casualties caused to the Japanese and puppet troops tonight will be greater!"
Wang Ping led two regiments to their destination and before they could even repair their positions, the thunderous sound of horse hooves reached Wang Ping's ears.
After listening with his ear to the ground for a few seconds, Wang Ping's expression changed: "In ten minutes at most, the Japanese cavalry will come over!"
"But we haven't even dug trenches... How can we stop them and annihilate them all here!" the brigade commander's face became serious and he reminded with a worried look.
The two group leaders also showed very worried expressions on their faces. They looked at Wang Ping, hoping that Wang Ping could come up with a solution.
"When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth!" Wang Ping replied confidently.
"If I remember correctly, including the seizures in the past two nights, the two regiments have a total of 23 heavy machine guns and more than 70 light machine guns!"
The brigade commander immediately replied: "Yes, the thirty light and heavy machine guns were just added by the military region before the counter-mopping up began, and the fourteen light and heavy machine guns were captured during the night attack on the Japanese the night before yesterday!"
Wang Ping nodded and began to issue orders: "Eleven heavy machine guns and thirty light machine guns are arranged in the front. The light and heavy machine guns are staggered and spaced five meters apart. All the light and heavy machine guns are mounted directly on the ground, forming a frontal width of more than 200 meters.
meters of defense!”
"The first and second battalions of the second regiment are staggered behind the light and heavy machine guns, lying directly on the ground, using rifles to make up for the firepower gap between the light and heavy machine guns!"
"Five heavy machine guns, twenty light machine guns, and two battalions of infantry are deployed on each side of the defense line. I want to form a huge circular position here to block the Japanese cavalry regiment!"
"After the battle begins, follow my order to fire. I will fire a flare, and the rifleman will fire..."
"Fire two signal flares in succession, and the riflemen and light machine guns all open fire!"
"Fire three signal flares in a row, and the heavy machine gun also joins the battle!"
"Two mortar companies set up artillery positions thirty meters directly behind. Follow my orders to cover the Japanese cavalry regiment with artillery fire!"
"How to divide the troops and how to deploy them? The three of you will arrange it and start taking action now~"
None of the three had experience in fighting cavalry, and there was no terrain available here, so they had no choice but to listen to Wang Ping.
Therefore, when executing the order, the three of them were very happy, even though the worried expressions on their faces did not relieve them much!
"Rumble..."
When the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer to him, and the ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly, Wang Ping knew that the Japanese cavalry unit was coming.
"Deputy Chief of Staff, the troops have been deployed and ready to fight at any time!"
"It just so happened that the Japanese Cavalry Regiment also came to fight. Tonight, we will kill the Japanese Cavalry Regiment here!" Wang Ping was as confident as ever. The three brigade commanders seemed to be infected and slowly became calmer.
"The Japs Cavalry Regiment is holding a torch and is moving very fast. It is still at most one kilometer away from here!" the second regiment leader frowned and reminded.
"Five hundred meters!" In less than half a minute, the brigade commander next to him said.
"Three hundred meters~"
At this time, Wang Ping could clearly see a fire dragon formed by the Japanese cavalry regiment!
"Bang..." He raised the flare gun and fired a flare without any hesitation on his face.
"Pa bang bang..."
The hundreds of riflemen blocking the front opened fire quickly. Although the density of firepower was not as high as that of light and heavy machine guns, the power of hundreds of bullets flying toward the road from different directions was still astonishing.
The seven or eight cavalrymen who rushed at the front, along with their horses, were beaten into sieves and fell to the ground without even saying a word!
The neat fire dragon suddenly became chaotic.
However, it only lasted a few seconds before the entire cavalry regiment regained order and stopped.
