"The machine gun team... counterattack immediately, and the covering troops mount their horses to break out!" the anxious commander subconsciously ordered.
Only when the order was spoken did he realize that his machine gun team was gone.
Then he changed the order bravely: "The troops will counterattack on the spot, move to the war horses while fighting, and then quickly mount their horses and break through!"
In the pitch-black night, the Japanese could not see the direct team at all. Only the flames ejected from the muzzles of their guns when they fired exposed their positions.
However, by the time the Japs aimed at the gunpowder and fired the bullets, the quick-reacting team members had already moved to the side.
Gunshots continued to ring out on the battlefield, and bullets from both sides came and went. However, the captain, who was protected by the guards, did not feel safe at all.
The screams of his subordinates kept ringing in his ears. Apart from the sound of gunfire, almost no screams came from the Eighth Route Army that was besieging him nearby. More importantly, as time passed, the distance between the surrounding gunfire and himself was gradually shortening.
.
"Sir, we have dozens of casualties. The Eighth Route Army has machine guns, and we only have horse rifles. Our firepower is not as good as theirs, so we can only be beaten passively~" the adjutant reminded him with a worried look on his face as he touched the side of the regiment leader.
"Because of this, we have to move to the war horses, and then rely on the war horses to break out of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, all of us will die here ~ Don't forget, there are no reinforcements that can come to reinforce us now!" Captain
He ordered angrily.
"Continue to move towards the war horse and speed up..."
"Pa bang bang... ah ah ah..."
Several gunshots rang out that did not attract anyone's attention. The three guards who were closely protecting the regiment leader were all shot in the chest and fell down at the sound.
With dozens of people surrounding the commander, it was impossible not to attract the attention of the snipers from the surrounding units.
After firing a bullet, these snipers quickly moved and then fired another round of bullets at the location of the commander.
"Da da da~"
Not only was the sniper targeting him, but the two firemen were also targeting him.
He held the machine gun in his arms, pointing a hail of bullets at the commander's position.
In less than three seconds, six or seven more guards fell beside the commander.
"Bage Ya Road, I'm being targeted by the Eighth Route Army... Disperse immediately, don't gather around me, and move towards the horses!" The frightened captain reacted quickly, and then pounced on the horses that were not far away.
!
"Pah~pah~"
Under the protection of the guards, as soon as he got on his horse, two bullets flew towards him one after another.
Before he could dodge, a bullet penetrated his chest and another bullet penetrated his head.
Seeing the commander of the regiment being shot and knocked off his horse, the guards next to him were stunned for a moment. Then they seemed to be crazy and did not retreat. They lay on the ground, raised their rifles and fought back at the surrounding direct troops.
As a security force, if the captain dies, even if they come back alive, they will be severely punished!
"Da da da~"
More than a hundred horses and rifles fired at the same time. No matter how fierce the firepower was, it could not compare with the machine guns.
The nine machine guns equipped by the direct team were so heavy that they could not lift their heads as soon as they opened fire.
Snipers strike with precision, assaulters hold submachine guns, and they keep approaching the Japanese like ghosts~
Soon, they also opened fire.
Dozens of submachine guns fired at the same time, and bullets flew towards the Japanese like rain. They had no way to hide, they could only watch as the bullets smashed their bodies into sieves!
At the Japanese and puppet army station, Colonel Yongsheng listened to the sound of gunfire and artillery all around him. After waiting for almost an hour, he still had not received any news about the return of the cavalry regiment.
Go straight out of the tent and get into the tent where the telecommunications room is located.
The adjutant was standing behind a radio operator, constantly urging the operator to continue sending the message.
Seeing the captain, the adjutant was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Sir, why are you here?"
"Have you not contacted the cavalry regiment yet?" Colonel Yongsheng did not answer, but asked with a frown.
"No... they haven't responded!" the adjutant replied with his head lowered, not daring to look at Colonel Yongsheng. In his opinion, Colonel Yongsheng must be very angry now, and he might become the spark that detonates the powder keg.
Surprisingly, Colonel Yongsheng was not only not angry, but also acted very calmly.
"Something must have happened! The telegram asking for instructions was sent by them, and now there is no response. There is probably something wrong!"
The adjutant asked tentatively: "Could it be because there was an accident on the battlefield? They have to stop marching before we wait for our call back! They are cavalry and cannot send or receive telegrams during the march!"
The glimmer of hope that Colonel Yongsheng had just ignited disappeared in an instant, and he shook his head and replied: "It is basically impossible... Even if the cavalry regiment retreats, it will be retreating towards us. After such a long time, even if they crawl, they should return to their base.
But now there is no news at all. There is only one possibility: something happened to them!"
The adjutant was about to say something to comfort the commander when another radio operator suddenly shouted.
"Sir, telegram from division headquarters!"
"The division commander ordered that the troops retreat immediately after dawn and occupy Liulin County to wait for new food supplies!"
"In addition, the division headquarters will dispatch two transport planes to airdrop ammunition supplies to us tomorrow. Let us send the specific location and be prepared!"
"We still lost!" Colonel Yongsheng replied helplessly.
"We lost this sweep, and our troops were decimated. There were no troops from the division headquarters to reinforce us in a short period of time. As expected, we will not have the strength to launch a new round of sweeps against the Suide Military Region for at least the next three months.
!”
"I can't imagine how far the Eighth Route Army, which has received a large amount of ammunition supplies and food, will grow in a few months!"
"At that time, even if the division commander can mobilize heavy troops and materials to attack the Eighth Route Army's Suide Military District again, we will still have to pay several times the price to severely damage them!"
"Forward the original text of this telegram to the Chief of Staff and ask him to prepare!"
"Tomorrow during the day, we will take over the ammunition supplies dropped by transport planes at the station. After receiving the ammunition supplies, we will withdraw the troops directly. The sooner the better!"
Although the former enemy headquarters where Commander Wang was located was not brightly lit, a few lanterns still illuminated the tightly surrounded tent.
Commander Wang, the chief of staff, the commander of the second brigade, and the chief of staff of the second brigade, all of them were not sleepy at all.
Of course, what they were paying attention to was not the battlefield a few kilometers away with constant gunfire, but the battlefield where Wang Ping was dozens of kilometers away.
"Chief, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang has an urgent message... They killed the Japanese Cavalry Regiment, and also killed the leader of the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel, and captured more than 500 intact horses, and more than 1,000 sets of cavalry equipment and supporting weapons!"
"The Japanese hastily launched this sweep and lost!" Commander Wang judged with excitement on his face!
