The captain didn't pay much attention to the casualties of less than thirty imperial troops.
As soon as the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack was repelled, the captain ordered: "We are still more than two kilometers away from the assembly area. The troops should speed up. Once they reach the assembly area, they will not dare to sneak attack us!"
After marching for several hundred meters, the troops really did not suffer any more sneak attacks.
But at this moment, the captain did not expect that a bigger crisis was waiting for him three to four hundred meters in front of him.
"Company Commander, the mission is completed. Even if the Japanese machine gun team was not completely wiped out, it is almost dead. However, four soldiers were sacrificed. Fortunately, we are cavalry and the transfer speed is very fast, otherwise the loss would be even greater!"
The platoon leader rushed to Mayonghe and reported excitedly.
After killing the Japanese heavy machine gunners, it can only be said that the casualties of the cavalry company in the subsequent cavalry assault will be smaller.
As for whether the cavalry company that had just formed combat effectiveness could break through the Japanese interception and break into the Japanese marching column, no one knew.
Therefore, the serious expression on the face of company commander Ma Ronghe did not change at all.
"Return to the team immediately and prepare to attack the Japanese!"
As soon as he gave the order to the platoon leader, the observation post from the front rushed over and reported: "Company commander, the Japs are coming, the infantry is in front, and the heavy machine guns and mortars are at the back!"
Ma Ronghe did not hesitate, turned over beautifully and sat on the horse, and ordered loudly.
"The entire cavalry company is mounted and ready to attack the Japanese from the front!"
He drew out his saber, drew a slash of light forward, and gave a decisive order.
"Cavalry company, start attacking! Comrades, fight with me!"
"Kill!" As soon as the word "Kill!" came out of his mouth, Ma Ronghe kicked the horse hard in the stomach with his heel.
The suddenly frightened war horse raised its head and began to charge forward.
"Boom!" More than a hundred cavalrymen ran wildly on the battlefield. The sound of huge horse hooves was like thunder, which could convey greetings.
The Japanese captain who was only two or three hundred meters away also heard it. The deputy captain beside him frowned and subconsciously asked: "Is it thundering? Is it going to rain?"
"No, how can there be thunder in the winter? This is obviously a cavalry, and some cavalry are charging towards us!" As soon as the captain realized what he was doing, he had a frightened expression on his face, and then he shouted out loud.
"Cavalry, Eighth Route Army cavalry!" The frightened shouts of his subordinates echoed around him.
Although it was night now, because there was a moon today, the Japanese captain could clearly see the dark shadows of more than a hundred cavalry rushing towards him.
"Ba Ge Ya Lu, they are indeed cavalry!" The captain's face suddenly turned pale.
As an army officer, he knew very well that on this battlefield where there was no position, ordinary infantry faced the cavalry, and the only fate was to be massacred if they failed.
Then he shouted an order without waiting for the deputy captain next to him to remind him: "Stop the troops and defend on the spot. Use machine guns to block these cavalry. They must not be allowed to rush over!"
"Heavy machine gun team, immediately order them to set up the machine guns. The cavalry is afraid of machine guns. As long as the heavy machine guns fire, the cavalry will not be able to charge forward."
The panicked Japs immediately formed a circle amidst the officers' shouts and curses, then lay down on the spot, picked up their rifles and fired in the direction of the cavalry.
However, the cavalry charge was too fast. When the gunfire rang out on the battlefield, the cavalry company had already reached less than 150 meters away from the Japanese army, and the charge speed reached its extreme.
"Shoot, shoot immediately, stop these cavalry!" The Japanese squad leader squatted on the ground, holding up his command knife, urging his subordinates to shoot with an anxious look.
Three heavy machine guns were quickly brought over and one was placed on the ground ready to fire.
"Enter the machine gunner, shoot immediately and use bullets to block the Eighth Route Army cavalry," the squad leader shouted loudly.
"All the machine gunners have died in the battle, there are no more machine gunners!" a Japanese sergeant reminded in a low voice.
"Nani?" The team leader showed an expression of disbelief at first, and then quickly reacted.
"Baga, it must be this cavalry that attacked us just now. First kill our machine gunners who pose the greatest threat to them, and then send out the cavalry to attack us."
"Come on if there are no machine gunners and some infantrymen who can use machine guns will come and shoot immediately!"
"Click, click, click..." Three heavy machine guns fired, but their accuracy was very poor and intermittent.
At this time, the cavalry that rushed over quickly also fired bullets from their guns at the Japanese.
Under the cover of darkness, the light and heavy machine guns with flames spitting out their muzzles were directly attacked.
Although shooting from horseback was bumpy and the accuracy was poor, more than a hundred bullets flew past, and the Japanese position still rang out with screams, and several machine guns misfired on the spot.
Although the machine guns misfired again within three seconds, the cavalry company used this time to easily rush forward twenty or thirty meters.
"Da da da..." At this time, the four machine guns held by the cavalry machine gunner also fired.
The whizzing bullets jumped up and down and flew towards the Japanese. They were also not very accurate, but the blind cat killed the mouse and still killed many Japanese.
"Comrades, charge with me, we will win if we get into the enemy's position!" Mayonghe, who was lying on the horse as much as possible, drew his saber and put on a chopping posture, shouting loudly.
After losing more than twenty cavalry in a row, the Japanese lying on the ground finally came into view of the Mayong River.
Seeing himself charging towards him with his saber raised high, Ma Ronghe clearly saw a look of genuine panic on the Japs face.
May Ronghe didn't care about this. In his opinion, since he became an invader, he should be prepared to be killed at any time.
"Kill!" With the powerful inertia of the charge of the war horse, the light blade of the saber easily made a gash on his neck, and then he saw bright red blood gushing out.
After killing a Japanese, Ma Ronghe immediately sheathed his knife and slashed at the second Japanese not far away who had the courage to charge back with his bayonet.
Although the subordinates around May Ronghe all killed people for the first time as cavalry, most of those chosen by Mayonghe were veterans.
At this time, they had only one thought in their minds: they regarded the Japs in front of them as the scarecrows they usually trained, and then they swung their swords without hesitation to chop the target, the Japs, to death!
Although there were some Japs who were not afraid of death during the whole process. They rushed over with grenades and killed the cavalry together with them. Explosions sounded from time to time, constantly killing and injuring the cavalry.
However, these explosions cannot change the entire situation of the war.
In less than twenty seconds, the cavalry company penetrated the Japanese temporary defense line like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
When the cavalry company reached the back of the Japanese army and regrouped, everyone's sabers were stained with blood. Although there were a lot fewer people, the brutality and strong smell of blood on the Japanese army's position all told them that the cavalry company's
The results were very great.
