Chapter seven hundred and eighty first battle cavalry
782
"Guard, go and hand over your company commander, hurry up!" Wang Ping shouted directly to the regimental department.
Then he continued his analysis to the chief of staff: "Also, there must not be too many troops going to fight the Japs, otherwise they will be discovered by the Japs as soon as they leave the base!"
"So, I decided to recruit people from the guard company to form a small team, and let Hong Ruijun of the guard company lead the team to greet the intentional transportation troops, let the Japanese know that it is not safe for them to take the road, and force them to take the railway again!"
A baggage brigade, a mixed brigade, a cavalry brigade, plus an engineering squadron and an armored vehicle squadron, the total strength exceeds 2,000 people.
Escorted by more than a hundred vehicles loaded with equipment and ammunition, they marched towards Linfen.
The chief of staff of the brigade was sitting in the passenger seat of a car in the middle of the convoy, nervously urging the convoy to speed up.
"Sir, at this rate, we will enter Linfen City in two hours at most!" the captain of the baggage brigade reported.
"Speaking of which, we have three strongholds along the highway. We have just received a report that everything is safe along the highway. Please rest assured, sir, nothing will happen!"
"No!" the chief of staff shook his head in denial.
"You don't understand our opponents. Our opponents, the New Group, are too cunning and difficult to guard against..."
"It doesn't matter that everything is safe along the highway now, but I am sure that the New Regiment will never let us easily transport these equipment and ammunition back to Linfen City. Now, they must be hiding in a place we don't know along the highway and watching us.
, suddenly attacked us at the critical moment!"
Seeing an expression of disbelief on his subordinates' faces, the chief of staff did not explain, but directly ordered: "The speed of the convoy must be accelerated..."
"In addition, the cavalry brigade will strengthen the investigation and search along the highway and cannot let go of any corner..."
"Once the armored car squadron is scattered in the middle of the convoy, once it is attacked, the armored car will immediately fight back, but it cannot stop and must ensure that it is in motion!"
The nervous chief of staff sat in the passenger seat, frowning, and walked forward for less than ten minutes when a violent explosion sounded in front of the convoy.
"boom……"
The chief of staff jumped out of the car from the passenger seat like a conditioned reflex, stared at the subordinates escorting him and asked.
"Bageya Road, they are still here~"
"What's going on with the explosion in front? Find out immediately... Guard the troops, strengthen their vigilance, and prepare for battle!"
Soon, a lieutenant rushed over out of breath: "It's a landmine, sir. The car in front hit the mine and was blown over. Fortunately, the car was loaded with weapons and no ammunition. Otherwise, it would definitely cause an explosion."
Explode!"
"That's wrong~" The chief of staff saw the problem at a glance!
"The highway cavalry brigade has passed by. If it was a landmine, the cavalry brigade must have detonated it and there would be no way for our car to wait!"
The lieutenant quickly explained: "Sir, it's not a landmine, it's a mine with an electric detonation device added. The explosion time of the mine is artificially controlled~"
The chief of staff reacted quickly and ordered directly: "In other words, the Eighth Route Army is hiding around us? The cavalry brigade will search immediately, find them, and kill them!"
"The transport team transferred the equipment from the destroyed cars to other large vehicles, and the engineers were responsible for clearing the road. Twenty minutes later, the convoy continued to move forward..."
Soon, the Japanese cavalry discovered two Eighth Route Army soldiers who were frantically retreating back nearly two hundred meters away on one side of the road.
"Yo Xi, we found these cunning sneak attackers... a detachment, go over and kill them!" the Japs squad leader ordered with excitement.
When ten cavalrymen faced off against two Eighth Route Army infantrymen on the plain, it was definitely a hands-on battle without any surprises.
Therefore, after the order was issued, the Japanese squad leader stopped and watched his subordinates rush over, waiting as if watching a show for the two Eighth Route Army soldiers to be split in half by their sabers.
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters...
In the blink of an eye, ten cavalrymen rushed behind the two Eighth Route Army soldiers.
At this time, the ten Japanese cavalrymen had raised their sabers high and were ready to chop.
"No, we've been fooled..." The Japanese cavalry squad leader, who was staring at the battlefield, was stunned for a moment, and then cried out.
In front of the two fleeing Eighth Route Army soldiers, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers suddenly appeared, holding guns in their hands to meet them.
The sergeant next to him quickly reminded: "Captain, don't worry, those dozens of people are infantry. Even if there are many of them, they are no match for our ten cavalry!"
"In this plain terrain, the cavalry will definitely win when facing the infantry!"
"Da da da……"
The sergeant was very arrogant, but as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of blocking gunfire from the Eighth Route Army reached his ears.
Just when I was about to continue taunting the Eighth Route Army, the cavalry rushed in front of them before I fired. Is it too late?
A picture appeared that surprised him.
The Eighth Route Army only had one platoon, but it was equipped with three light machine guns and three submachine guns...
Six tongues of flames suddenly shot out dozens of meters away, as well as more than twenty rounds of bullets. They did not expect the ten hidden Japs cavalry to be caught off guard. They were all shot and fell off their horses.
These Eighth Route Army troops were obviously veterans and elites. They rushed out of their hiding places as soon as ten of their men were killed, gathered up the six surviving horses, and then worked in pairs to collect all the equipment and ammunition from the corpses of the dead men.
He took the war horse and retreated back, which took less than a minute.
The squad leader who witnessed all this became angry, drew his saber and ordered.
"Bageya Road, I want to take revenge and kill them. The troops will rush over immediately and kill them!"
The sergeant next to him also reacted from his shock: "Sir, please calm down. There are machine guns and submachine guns on the 8th route. The firepower is too fierce. Our cavalry is definitely no match. If we rush over, we will die..."
"I suggest following them, and then asking the squadron leader for reinforcements to send more troops to eliminate them!"
On the highway, the engineers and the baggage convoy moved very quickly. Within twenty minutes, the highway was reopened to traffic.
"Sir, the cavalry was attacked by a small group of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army only has one platoon. The cavalry brigade requested to send troops to pursue and kill them..."
The chief of staff frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army that sneaked up on him must be planning to use their old methods again. After the imperial army divides its troops and starts to chase them, they will defeat them one by one and kill the imperial army that is chasing them.
Ever since the Eighth Route Army appeared in their jurisdiction, they have used this tactic to destroy the Imperial Army more than once.
However, as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
At that moment, he suddenly thought that it was daytime and the cavalry was attacking. More importantly, this was not an Eighth Route Army base, but an area controlled by the Imperial Army.
In this case, will taking the initiative have any different effects?
The chief of staff immediately made a decision: "Let him dispatch a cavalry squad to counterattack, and the others will protect the convoy and continue to move forward."
A total of more than fifty Japanese cavalrymen, under the command of a cavalry lieutenant, quickly pursued the guard company along its retreat route.
