"Company commander, the Japs are catching up with them. There are more than fifty cavalry in total!" The platoon leader, who had just organized his troops to kill a cavalry squad of the Japs, reported as soon as he saw the guard company commander Hong Ruijun.
"I heard that, the Japs from the two cavalry squads, the ten Japs you killed must have belonged to the two cavalry squads!" Hong Ruijun replied with excitement on his face.
At this time, he suddenly thought of what the captain told him when he accepted the mission.
"Company Commander Hong, the Japanese transport troops not only include infantry, but also cavalry and armored vehicles. If we fight head-on, even if the entire regiment goes up, they will not be able to defeat us..."
"So, you must use guerrilla tactics that we are familiar with such as sneak attacks, harassment, mobile warfare, etc. to attack the devils, and let the devils know that even if they take roads and transport by car, they will have to pay a high price, and the speed is very slow!"
"I'm not worried about the Japs' infantry. I'm not worried about the Japs' armored vehicles either. They all rely on roads to fight. As long as you leave the road, the armored vehicles can't do anything to you. The only thing I'm worried about is the Japs' cavalry. You
I have no experience in dealing with cavalry, and I have almost never fought against cavalry, so I have to give you a few words at the last minute."
"What the Japanese cavalry fear most is machine gun fire. Therefore, when facing the cavalry, you cannot run away. If you run away, you will die! Instead, you must use the terrain and concentrate your firepower to deal with them!"
"In order to increase the firepower of the guard company, I decided to add a submachine gun to each infantry squad of your guard company."
"The light machine gun will carry out long-range firepower against the Japanese cavalry, the rifle fire will carry out medium-range firepower, and the submachine gun will carry out short-range firepower against the cavalry. Coupled with grenades, three firepower nets will be formed to block the Japs in front of you. As long as the Japs come over,
The cavalry unit can definitely kill them!"
Make decisions as soon as your eyes light up.
"Have you seen Liang Zi behind? Go there immediately, rely on Liang Zi to defend, block them head on, and try to kill them!"
"Our new regiment does not yet have a real cavalry unit. The little devil took the initiative to send us war horses and equipment. We have to accept them!"
When they were still two hundred meters away from the guard company, the Japanese lieutenant led the team and saw the guard company's figure.
"The Eighth Route Army only has one company and no heavy machine guns. Warriors, fight over and kill them with your saber!" the lieutenant was the first to draw his saber and raised it high above his head and ordered.
"Kill..." More than fifty Japanese cavalry quickly dispersed into a battle formation, then kicked their horses violently and accelerated towards Liangzi!
"Everyone be ready for battle. Listen to my order before shooting..." Hong Ruijun, the first man lying behind Liang Zi, ordered loudly.
When he saw that the Japanese cavalry were still nearly 150 meters away from Liang Zi, Hong Ruijun's face immediately turned serious.
"All machine guns, fire immediately!"
"Da da da……"
As the infantry company equipped with the most machine guns in the entire regiment, the guard company has reached the standard of equipping each infantry squad with one machine gun.
The entire company's ten light machine guns fired at the same time, and the dense bullets quickly intertwined into an airtight bullet net in front of the Japanese cavalry.
"Bage Ya Road, how come the Eighth Route Army has so many machine guns!" Seeing that seven or eight of his subordinates were mowed down at once, the Japanese Lieutenant showed a frightened expression and shouted loudly.
But he soon calmed down.
"Keep killing them. They don't have heavy machine guns. Just rush over and they'll be finished!"
The lieutenant waved his saber, pressed his body as close to the horse's body as possible, and continued to urge the horse under his crotch to speed up.
"Rifleman, shoot!" The cavalry was too fast. They had just killed a dozen people with machine guns and rushed to a position a hundred meters in front of the formation. The shocked Hong Ruijun followed closely and ordered.
More than a hundred rifles suddenly fired, and the casualties of the Japanese cavalry suddenly increased.
The Japanese Lieutenant's brows suddenly furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign.
The change in front of them was so unexpected. Facing the imperial cavalry so close at hand, the Eighth Route Army not only did not retreat in a panic, but instead calmed down and fired calmly.
First the light machine gun, then the rifle, in an orderly manner.
"These Eighth Route Army troops must be their elites!" the lieutenant judged in his mind, and had a very bad premonition about the coming battle.
However, he did not order the troops to stop, but continued to rush forward.
There were only fifty or sixty meters away from the Eighth Route Army position, and there were still more than thirty cavalrymen under his command.
The speed of the cavalry has also reached the extreme. It only takes a few seconds to reach the Eighth Route Army position. And once they reach the position, no matter how many light machine guns the Eighth Route Army equips, it is just a pile of scrap metal, not as good as the one in my hand.
Saber with handle.
Fifty meters away, when the Japanese cavalry lieutenant seemed to have seen victory and was recruiting him again, more than a dozen tongues of fire erupted from the position.
"It's a submachine gun. Eighth Route Army still has a submachine gun... It's over!" The lieutenant's face turned pale.
Ten submachine guns suddenly fired, plus the flames of the light machine guns and rifle bullets that were being fired, intertwined with each other, directly forming an airtight bullet net.
At this time, more than thirty Japanese cavalrymen made every step forward very difficult.
Cavalrymen were constantly being beaten to death and fell to the ground.
The Japanese Lieutenant had a look of despair, knowing that he would not be able to break into the Eighth Route Army's position. He frowned and was about to issue a retreat order.
However, before he could say anything, a string of bullets flew towards him.
As soon as the Japanese lieutenant died, the remaining twenty or so Japanese cavalry collapsed.
Because there was no commander, some continued to rush forward risklessly, while others turned around and retreated.
What was an orderly offensive formation just a moment ago suddenly turned into chaos.
"Comrades, increase your firepower. The Japs are about to be finished. Kill them!" Hong Ruijun ordered with excitement on his face.
"Company Commander, all the Japanese have been eliminated. None of them escaped. We captured 28 usable horses, 5 injured but still walking horses, and the remaining horses are all dead!" said the platoon leader of the guard company with excitement.
reported.
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad leader of the guard company also rushed over: "Company commander, the Japanese transport team has started marching towards Linfen again!"
"Good to go!" Hong Ruijun said happily.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on his subordinates' faces, Hong Ruijun added immediately: "After we leave, we can clean up the battlefield with peace of mind..."
"The first platoon is left to clean up the battlefield. Take away all the equipment on the Japs, intact military uniforms, and the horses that were killed!"
"Others followed me, took the small road to get in front of them, and continued to harass the Japanese!"
The platoon leader hesitated and asked: "Company commander, we don't have a cart, how will we transport those killed horses?"
"I just want the meat of the war horse, not the carcass. The legs of the horse have the most meat. Cut off the legs of the war horse and take them away, but don't want the rest! There are so many horse legs, the whole group will be able to perform tooth festivals for several days after we return!"
