"Tanaka-kun, something is wrong. If there is an Eighth Route Army blocking position ahead, which will consume us round after round, our three cavalry squadrons will be completely destroyed in a short time!" Another squadron leader frowned and reminded.
"This must be the Eighth Route Army's new tactics... So far, we have lost more than one cavalry squadron, and have wiped out less than one squadron of the Eighth Route Army. The casualty ratio is ten to one. No matter how many cavalry we have, we can't withstand such consumption.
~" Another squadron leader added immediately.
"Stop..." Major Tanaka looked unwilling, but he could not ignore the opinions of the two squadron leaders. After all, they were both squadron leaders, even though his military rank was one level higher than theirs...
"We are already nearly two kilometers away from the station, and are about to reach the pursuit distance specified by the division commander... If we continue to pursue, we will be disobeying military orders..." Major Tanaka did not want to continue the fight, especially after seeing the casualties of his own troops.
After that, the idea of ending the pursuit became even stronger. With a roll of his eyes, he found a reasonable reason for retreat.
The atmosphere in the tent where Lieutenant General Ito was located was very solemn.
The Chief of Staff and the Captain of the Cavalry Regiment were usually aloof commanders, but at this time they all lowered their heads and stood in front of Lieutenant General Ito without saying a word.
"Bagya Road... This is the elite cavalry unit of the Imperial Army of Japan... Three cavalry squadrons cannot even wipe out dozens of Eighth Route Army troops, and they themselves suffered heavy losses... What kind of elite are these? They are all a bunch of idiots.
pig……"
"There are also aviation troops, what do they do for food... I want to complain to the front army headquarters about them. I asked them to escort us, not to let them hover overhead, but to let them support the infantry and launch attacks on our enemies from the air.
attack……"
"The cavalry troops encountered several lines of defense of the Eighth Route Army in succession. As long as they launched an attack from the air, even if they dropped a bomb, they would suffer heavy losses... Bagya Road, the aviation group are also a bunch of cowards!"
The next actions of the army will also require a large amount of aviation support. If the division commander and the aviation force are at loggerheads at this time, a small action by the aviation force may cause huge losses to the division. The chief of staff will never allow this to happen, and he will frown.
explained.
"Commander of the division, please calm down. This is not the fault of the aviation force. It is because the Eighth Route Army is too cunning and the aviation force cannot attack at all~"
"They have no more than one platoon of troops on each line of defense, but they are equipped with a large number of machine guns, submachine guns, and automatic pistols aimed at our cavalry troops!"
"Not only that, their platoon's troops are scattered on a defense line with a front width of more than 100 meters, surrounded by bushes. Unless they actively expose their targets, the aviation force will not be able to detect them from the sky!"
"Also, they only held on to each line of defense for one minute, causing a large number of casualties to our infantry and cavalry troops before retreating. In just one minute, the aviation force did not have time to dive bomb and attack them..."
Lieutenant General Ito's face looked much better, but he still cursed loudly: "Bagya Road, no matter what the reason, I did not destroy the enemy, and I suffered heavy losses. This is a fact~ The Eighth Route Army was under the nose of our tens of thousands of troops once
Once again eating our troops, this is definitely a shame for our division and a shame for Ito~"
After finishing, he stared at a few subordinates and asked: "I'm calling you here now, not to hold you accountable, but to find a solution... The Eighth Route Army's sneak attack just now was successful, killing more than one squadron of our cavalry... I'm sure, they
They will definitely continue to attack us with the same method ~ We must have countermeasures to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army's next opportunity to sneak attack on us, fight a counterattack, kill them, and wash away the shame..."
After more than an hour of heated discussion, several subordinates all left the tent with excitement...
To the dismay of the Japanese, for several hours until dark, the new regiment did not launch another attack.
The Eighth Route Army did not show up until the infantry took over the security patrol mission around the station.
Killing more than a hundred elite Japanese cavalry at the cost of one infantry squad was definitely a great victory for the Eighth Route Army.
According to Li Wen's idea, before dark, strike while the iron is hot and give the Japs another sneak attack, even if they kill another cavalry squadron...
However, Wang Ping refused.
"Captain, why...you should have seen the battle just now. The Japanese cavalry has no way to deal with our tactics and can only be beaten passively! In another battle, even if the Japanese are vigilant, I can guarantee to kill one of their cavalry squadrons."
!”
Wang Ping frowned and asked, "Do you really think the Japanese are a fool?"
"I can be fooled by you again after being fooled once..."
Li Wen still wanted to fight again, because when he retreated just now, he found a good battlefield suitable for sneak attacks on the Japanese, and continued to insist: "But, commander, we just clearly analyzed the sneak attack tactics we are using.
There is absolutely nothing the Japanese cavalry can do!"
"It is true that there is no cavalry. As long as the terrain is suitable, the Japanese cavalry can only hit our position and then chase us behind us. But as for the infantry, the Japanese will bring the infantry among the cavalry and a large number of machine gunners. What do you plan to do with the troops?
retreat……"
"There are also grenade launchers. Don't forget, the Japs' grenade launchers can hit you accurately. If they equip the cavalry with a large number of grenade launchers, they will hit our defense line with dozens of special grenade launchers first.
How can the troops kill and injure the Japanese cavalry? When the time comes, not only will they not be able to kill the Japanese cavalry, but their own people will also be trapped, and they will not be able to withdraw even if they want to retreat~"
Li Wen's face, which was still confident just now, now had big beads of sweat. Even though it was very cold now, he was still sweating.
He was frightened by Wang Ping's explanation.
He hesitated and asked: "Captain, what should we do? Stop fighting?"
"Fight, of course we have to fight..." Wang Ping replied without hesitation.
Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, there is a principle that must not be violated when dealing with the Japanese!"
"The more we fight with the Japanese in front of us, the more terrifying and cunning I feel about them!"
"To deal with such an enemy, no matter what tactics and tactics you use, you can only use them once and never use them twice!"
"You know, as the fighting continues, these devils are getting to know us better and better!"
"In order to better attack them and achieve maximum results at the minimum cost, we must use endless levels of means to make them confused about our combat style and always be in a passive position to be beaten!"
"So, we won't fight the cavalry today. After dark, we will find an opportunity to fight their infantry."
"If you can kill two to three hundred Japs through sneak attacks in one day and one night, you will have two to three thousand Japs in ten days. This result is already very good. You can't be greedy and get bitten by a snake..."
