In the non-fighting village of Yinshan Village, more than 20 soldiers were busy in the village.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed over from the mountain ridge outside the village. Before he reached the village entrance, he loudly reported: "Company Commander, the Japanese are coming. There are more than thirty cavalry!"
"Rumble..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hoofbeats came over.
"Comrades, be ready for battle. Machine guns and submachine guns can only fire after you hear my order!" the company commander reported slightly nervously.
Before setting off, the battalion commander repeatedly told him how to fight the cavalry, but after all, it was his first time fighting against the cavalry, so he was still a little nervous.
After hiding behind the earthen wall at the entrance of the village and waiting for less than five minutes, a group of Japanese cavalry came over in a mighty manner.
After the company commander forcibly suppressed his inner nervousness, he frowned and judged: "There is just a small group of cavalry, be ready for battle!"
The actions of the past few days made the Japanese become more and more arrogant. Looking at the village without any movement in front of them, the Japanese subconsciously thought that this was an empty village. Then without stopping, they rushed towards the entrance of the village.
The tension in the company commander's heart suddenly disappeared.
The cavalry is very powerful, but it is on the field battlefield, and its powerful assault capability cannot be stopped by ordinary infantry no matter how capable they are.
Once they enter the village, their powerful assault capability will be gone. By then, their combat effectiveness will not even be comparable to that of ordinary infantry!
"Be prepared for battle. Don't even shoot. Let the little devils enter the village and then kill them!" the company commander seized the moment and ordered.
"Boom!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer, and so were the more than thirty Japanese soldiers. The ferocious and arrogant expressions of the little Japanese soldiers could even be clearly seen.
There was no precaution, just like a gust of wind, it rushed from the village entrance into the village in the blink of an eye, and then slowed down.
After all the Japs entered the village, the company commander slowly reached behind the Japs, raised his pistol, and fired at the backs of the two Japs.
"Bah bang bang!"
A flurry of bullets swept away the enemy in an instant and flew toward the Japanese in a fan shape.
The two cavalrymen who were less than twenty meters away from him had two bloody holes in their backs before they could react from the shock.
The company commander couldn't see the expressions of the two cavalrymen, but he could imagine how shocked and painful they were at this moment, and then they fell down from their horses.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
Four light machine guns, three submachine guns, three pistols, and more than ten rifles were fired instantly, and bullets flew towards the Japanese like rain.
These Japs were destined to pay the price for their arrogance. They rode on war horses to show off their power. Although there was no audience to appreciate them, they became the Eighth Route Army's best targets.
Shooting at a close range of less than twenty meters, a fool can hit the target with a bullet.
The gunfire only lasted for less than a minute and ended. As soon as the company commander put his pistol into his holster, a platoon leader with a submachine gun hanging in front of him rushed over, looking excited!
"Company commander, there are a total of thirty-one Japanese cavalrymen. Kill them all. At least twenty of them died with their guns still on their backs!"
"In addition, of the thirty-one horses brought by the little devil, except for three that were killed, the rest are all intact and have been captured!"
After glancing at the motionless existence, the company commander smiled!
"Well done! We must have killed them too quickly and wiped them all out. No one sneaked out to report the news. The little devils in other places and the planes in the sky didn't know that we were fighting a war of annihilation here!"
"In this case, let's clean up the battlefield!"
"All the captured horses were taken away, including the horses that were killed. They were dismembered and the horse meat was brought back. There are thousands of kilograms of horse meat, which is enough for our camp to feed for several days!"
At the Japanese military station fifteen kilometers away, the chief of staff looked very unhappy. He had a sullen face and glanced at the watch on his wrist from time to time.
The captain of the cavalry group standing in front of him had an ugly face and was very anxious. He had been pacing back and forth in the small tent since an hour ago to vent his inner anxiety.
After taking another look at the watch on his wrist, the chief of staff finally couldn't help but ask.
"An hour has passed since the prescribed withdrawal time, and how many troops have not yet withdrawn!"
"Five infantry squads, the cavalry brigade is exactly half the strength!" the captain replied quickly.
"Something must have happened to them!" the chief of staff judged with a stern face.
Half of his subordinates suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the captain of the cavalry brigade was definitely the most unwilling person.
Even if there was a little hope that an infantry squad could be returned, he would not let it go.
He hesitated and asked: "Sir, would you like to deign to send a cavalry team to search for their operational targets?"
"Bage Yalu, do you want to lose another cavalry squad?" the chief of staff refused without hesitation.
"In the past few days, faced with the deterrence of the Royal Air Force, the Eighth Route Army has not dared to come out to fight in the daytime. Now that they have come out, they must have a new strategy for us. Before they figured out their new tactics, the troops rushed out rashly
, not only will we not be able to bring back the news we want, but we will also lose the troops we sent out in vain!"
"I will go see the division commander now and ask the division commander to contact the aviation unit for investigation first. If there are no problems, we will send troops there!"
Fujino also did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would change its tactics at this time.
And with this change, half of his cavalry brigade was directly killed!
"What are you still doing? Contact the aviation force immediately. Let them conduct aerial reconnaissance first, and then send troops there. All troops sent out must carry radios and keep in touch with us at any time!" Lieutenant General Fujino ordered with a frown.
An hour later, the chief of staff came back, looking extremely ugly.
"Division Commander, under the cover of aviation, the ground troops we sent have found the missing cavalry. As we inferred, the five cavalry squads were completely destroyed and all their equipment was taken away!"
"Bagya Road must have been done by the new group~ Have you figured out how they did it?"
The chief of staff shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, a communications staff officer rushed in!
"Sir, there is an urgent call to the attacking troops. They are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Contact the aviation force to support them, and cooperate with each other to kill those sneak attackers!" Fujino ordered without thinking.
The communications staff officer did not leave, but replied helplessly: "The aviation force has passed, but it has no effect!"
"The Eighth Route Army that attacked them was not a large-scale unit. They were all in groups of four or five, equipped with a light machine gun, a submachine gun, and two rifles. They retreated after hitting them. The target was too small, and the aviation force had no way of bombing it!
"
"Also, several attacking units have been attacked. The aviation force only has three aircraft and cannot provide support to all units!"
