At the cavalry battalion's lurking point, listening to the fierce gunfire coming from the battlefield, every soldier felt itchy in his heart and wanted to go to the battlefield and hit the Japanese with the saber in his hand.
Even the war horses around him gradually became restless and kept digging at the ground with their hooves.
However, no matter how his company commander asked for a fight, the battalion commander Ma Houshen’s answer was the same: stand still!
"Battal commander, regimental commander's order!" Suddenly, the cavalry battalion radio operator rushed over.
"Let's get ready for battle. The Japs are rushing towards us and are planning to break out in front of us. The regiment leader asked us to attack the Japs' breakout troops and slow down their breakout speed!"
"Haha! Comrades, the opportunity has come. Everyone mounts their horses, loads their rifles and bullets, and prepares for a surprise attack!" Ma Houshou shouted with excitement, and then he was the first to climb onto his horse.
"The leader of the army is out!" Soon, the reminder from his subordinates rang in his ears.
"Prepare for a surprise attack!" Ma Houshou followed the order.
However, he did not directly order the troops to kill him. The moment he raised his saber, the Japanese cavalry came into his sight!
The deputy battalion commander next to him also noticed this problem, frowned and reminded: "Battal Commander, the Japanese cavalry is guarding the breakout troops. This is basically arranged for our cavalry battalion. They must have guessed that we are lurking here!"
"It's indeed a trouble, but it's not a big problem!" Ma Houshou replied seriously.
"Our original idea was to launch a surprise attack with the whole battalion, directly sweep through the Japanese assault troops, kill some of their troops first, and then use wheel battles to slow down their breakout speed!"
"Now that something happened to the Japanese Cavalry Brigade, we can only reverse the original battle plan and attack them!"
"The purpose of the Japs is very simple. They use their cavalry brigade to hold back our cavalry battalion. If we swarm up, the whole battalion will be stuck by them. After all, the individual combat effectiveness of the Japs' cavalry far exceeds ours!"
"But we have the advantage of cavalry. If we go up one company after another, even if one company can only hold back one Japanese cavalry squadron, we only need three companies to hold back one Japanese cavalry brigade. The remaining two cavalry companies can attack the Japanese infantry.
, slow down their breakout speed!"
"Order, the first company starts an assault. If the Japanese cavalry counterattacks, go up to them, hold them back, and slowly wear them down..." Ma Houshi ordered decisively.
"Rumble..."
Amidst the deafening sound of horse hooves, more than eighty cavalry soldiers rushed towards the Japanese breakout troops with rifles in hand.
Although they were several hundred meters apart, the Japanese spotted the cavalry company immediately.
The cavalry guarding the infantry quickly began to assemble. After gathering fifty or sixty cavalry, the Japanese mobilized their horses and charged back toward the cavalry company.
The Japanese cavalry who gathered behind them followed behind and launched an assault regardless of their formation.
"Pap, bang, bang... boom..."
After a burst of short and messy gunfire, the two cavalrymen collided with each other.
But after fighting for less than half a minute, the two cavalry separated.
Because the cavalry battalion is equipped with a large number of submachine guns, it has a firepower advantage. The Japanese are even better at fighting on horseback. After a round of fighting, the casualties of the two cavalry were almost the same, each losing a platoon of troops!
"Second company, kill the Japanese cavalry from behind. There are not many of them left. Two cavalry companies attack from the front and back, and we will definitely kill them!" Ma Houshou, who was staring at the battlefield, suddenly ordered.
"Boom~"
Amidst the fierce sound of horse hoofbeats, the second company moved. More than eighty cavalrymen rushed towards the battlefield in a mighty manner, like a sharp sword, thrust directly into the back of the Japanese cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry who had stopped after a round of fighting were obviously in a panic, and the military formation that had just turned around was also in chaos.
Fortunately, at this time, another squadron of cavalry came from the Japanese breakout force. More than a hundred little Japanese soldiers came directly towards Erlian Jie.
The Japanese cavalry brigade is not a fool. It can be seen at a glance that the cavalry battalion wants to concentrate its superior forces to defeat them one by one and finally kill them!
"Third company, come forward and block the Japanese cavalry squadron that just came over!" Ma Houshi was impatient and immediately ordered.
A brutal cavalry fight turned into a game in the eyes of Ma Houshi and the captain of the Japanese cavalry brigade.
Not to be outdone, the Japanese dispatched their last cavalry squadron.
"Haha... The Japs were fooled. His last cavalry squadron has already come out, but our cavalry battalion still has two companies that haven't gone up yet!" A smile finally appeared on Ma Hou's serious face.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered: "Fourth and fifth companies, come together and attack the last Japanese cavalry squadron. We have the superiority in strength and firepower, and we will definitely be able to kill them!"
"The guard platoon is following me to reinforce the third company and reduce the pressure on the third company!"
With no other Japs to stop them, the duo went straight to kill the Japs in the back.
Yimian also seized the opportunity to pounce on the Japanese. After a brief confusion, the Japanese had to split into two and wave their sabers to attack the two companies.
In a cavalry battle, standing still means waiting to die. Only by attacking can you have a chance to survive.
The Japanese knew this very well, so even though they knew they had little chance of winning, they continued to attack as always.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The submachine guns and horse rifles equipped by the cavalry company suddenly opened fire, and a large area of the high-speed cavalry was immediately mopped down.
The Japanese cavalry also opened fire, but they only had more than 70 horses and rifles, and more than 40 rounds of bullets flew at the cavalry company, which only caused less than ten casualties to the second company. But they themselves suffered two casualties.
There were more than ten people, and in less than three seconds, more than half of the troops were killed or injured!
There is no suspense about the next battle.
There are more than 70 cavalry left in the second company against the more than 20 Japanese cavalry. No matter how powerful the Japanese are, they cannot be their opponents~
Ma Houshi and his guard platoon of more than 40 cavalry did not attack the Japanese directly.
More than 40 people rushed forward rashly in front of 70 or 80 elite Japanese cavalry, only to be completely destroyed.
However, his guard platoon had the firepower advantage.
More than 40 subordinates are equipped with nearly ten submachine guns.
While the Japanese cavalry and the third company were almost fighting each other, they suddenly charged out diagonally.
The Japanese reacted quickly and immediately sent out more than twenty cavalry to meet the guard platoon.
The guard platoon was not polite. Ten submachine guns and more than thirty horse rifles were fired at the same time. Bullets were raining down on the more than twenty Japanese cavalrymen.
Because the distance was too close and the firepower was too fierce, they almost couldn't even turn around. The men and horses were instantly beaten into pieces and fell on the assault road.
At this time, the battle between the 1st and 2nd companies was coming to an end. Ma Houshou seized the opportunity and ordered: "Order the 1st company to be responsible for killing the remaining enemies..."
"The second company withdraws from the battlefield and reinforces the third company. Let's kill the remaining Japanese cavalry together!"
