"Da da da..." The three heavy machine guns equipped by the fourth battalion continued to shoot at the Japanese heavy machine gun squad.
More than a hundred cavalrymen immediately seized the opportunity and divided into three groups to attack the high ground.
The huge sound of horse hooves was like thunder, deafening.
"Yo Xi, there aren't many Eighth Route Army soldiers on the high ground anymore!" Seeing that the bullets fired from the high ground could only cause sporadic single-digit casualties to the cavalry, the squadron leader and battalion leader immediately became fanatical.
"Continue to attack, rush to the high ground, and use your saber to chop off all the enemy's heads..."
"Kill him!" The Japanese soldier thrust his rifle into the holster as if he had been given blood, pulled out his saber, raised it high over his shoulder, and howled to urge the horse under his crotch to rush forward.
The closer to the high ground, the more arrogant the Japanese become.
A few hundred meters away, there was still a neat cavalry attack formation. At this time, because of the scramble, everyone wanted to rush to the high ground and cut off at least one Eighth Route Army's head. The entire formation had become chaotic, with fifty or sixty cavalry crowded together.
, a swarm of swarms rushed towards the high ground.
"Continue to attack, victory is in sight. Rush to the high ground and kill all the Eighth Route Army!" There are still fifty or sixty meters away from the high ground. The speed of the war horses has reached the extreme. It only takes a few seconds to slaughter the Eighth Route Army with the saber.
The little devil's eyes started to shine.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly, a burst of heavy machine gun fire came, which frightened them most, and then they saw the cavalry rushing in front, falling to the ground one after another.
The distance that could be covered in a few seconds turned into an insurmountable ravine. It was very difficult for the troops to advance one meter, and people kept getting shot and fell off their horses, falling to the ground.
Looking towards the high ground, there was only one light machine gun and dozens of rifles shooting at the Eighth Route Army position. Suddenly, three heavy machine gun flames, four light machine gun flames, and submachine guns were constantly firing, fifty or sixty.
rifle.
The flying bullets intertwined together to form an airtight bullet net, blocking the enemy.
"Bageya Road, how come the Eighth Route Army still has such strong blocking firepower!" Many Japanese soldiers' faces turned pale in a blink of an eye, and this question also popped up in their minds.
The battalion leader and squadron leader who were accompanying the attacking team reacted faster. The moment their faces suddenly changed, they shouted: "Baga, it must be the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army coming over."
"The opponent's firepower is too strong, and we will definitely not be able to charge forward. Even if we charge forward, the troops will suffer heavy losses and lose their combat effectiveness! Retreat, we will not attack anymore, and we will retreat immediately!"
It is not easy to turn around and retreat when the attack speed has reached its extreme.
As the cavalry turned, people continued to be killed by bullets flying from the high ground.
After finally turning around and completing the turn, the casualties of the three attacking troops exceeded half.
"Retreat quickly and get out of the heavy machine gun range of the Eighth Route Army!" the cavalry captain with a solemn face shouted loudly.
Then he kicked the horse's belly hard to speed up.
It only takes less than twenty seconds for the cavalry to rush out from two to three hundred meters.
However, listening to the continuous sound of machine gun fire behind him, the screams of soldiers and the neighing of war horses that could be heard from time to time, the captain felt that every second passed very slowly.
After finally getting out of the range of the heavy machine gun, the captain discovered painfully that there were less than twenty cavalry around him, and most of them were officers of the cavalry brigade.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has left the high ground and is rushing towards us!" Just as the battalion leader lowered his head in pain and thought about a way out, a squadron leader next to him shouted anxiously.
The captain's eyes lit up, and a very bold idea came to his mind: "Kill the Eighth Route Army with a single carbine. The Eighth Route Army relies on the high ground to defend, and there are a large number of heavy machine guns for cover. He is no opponent. But after leaving the position, even if he is the only one left
With more than 20 subordinates, I can attack one of their battalions and win with certainty!"
However, as soon as this idea emerged, it was broken by the captain's next words.
"They were very cautious, and the heavy machine gun troops came over with the infantry!"
In front of the infantry, what the cavalry fears most is concentrated fire from light and heavy machine guns.
He frowned and cursed: "Bagh Ya Road, these Eighth Route Army are so cunning!"
"Retreat, the troops will retreat immediately and get out of here~"
A squadron leader immediately asked: "What about the war horses that are still alive on the battlefield? Those war horses are the basis for us to rebuild the cavalry brigade. If they are lost, we don't know when the cavalry brigade can be rebuilt!"
"As well as those soldiers who died in battle and their equipment, don't you want them all!"
The captain closed his eyes and replied with a painful look on his face: "No more!"
"If we continue to stay here, all of us will die. We will not be able to take these horses and equipment with us by then, and even our cavalry brigade will lose its organization due to the total destruction of the army!"
"The troops continue to retreat, monitor them from a distance, and wait for the mixed group and armored squadron to come over!"
What the Japanese captain did not expect was that the counterattack of the new regiment was not mainly for them, but for the Japanese heavy machine gun team, which suffered heavy losses and was difficult to relocate.
The heavy machine gun squad only had about thirty cavalrymen, but because they had to bear heavy machine guns and artillery shells, they were equipped with almost twice the number of horses.
Because they did not directly participate in the battle, these horses were all left on the other side of the railway, intact.
From the moment he climbed onto the high ground, Wang Ping had his eyes on these war horses!
The Japanese cavalry brigade has been defeated. Wang Ping does not want these more than 60 horses to retreat with the Japanese, and he will suffer a big loss!
Therefore, as soon as the Japanese cavalry exited the range of the heavy machine gun, Wang Ping ordered a Japanese heavy machine gun team with a heavy machine gun to rush towards the position. The remaining heavy machine guns did not stop and continued to use fierce firepower to block all retreat roads of the Japanese heavy machine gun team.
Buy time for the troops to counterattack.
Less than two minutes after the remaining twenty or so Japanese cavalrymen retreated, a burst of intense gunfire rang out from the Japanese heavy machine gun position.
The gunfire lasted very short time and ended in less than half a minute.
"Captain, we won..."
"It's just a pity that the number of horses killed on the battlefield must not be less than a hundred!"
Wang Ping was also heartbroken. If these horses were all alive, they would be enough to form a reinforced cavalry company.
But after hesitating for a while, he comforted himself and said: "It is useful even if it is dead. It cannot be wasted. Drag it back to eat the meat and let the soldiers beat the teeth as a sacrifice!"
"Commander Rong, order the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately. Also, go to the front and take a look. Maybe there are still soldiers alive in the 10th Company!"
