Amidst the dull sound of horse hoofbeats, the Japanese cavalry's assault also began.
More than 700 cavalrymen protected the regimental commander in the middle, raised their sabers high, and charged toward the cavalry camp with howls.
Under the cover of night, both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese could only see the cavalry with their sabers raised high above their heads. Therefore, the Japanese did not see or realize that the cavalry battalion charged at the first two rows of cavalry, with their war horses and
The horses were all blocked with chains.
Dozens of war horses joined together to form a huge phalanx with a frontal width of more than 100 meters, charging at the Japanese in a mighty manner.
"Rumble..."
In less than twenty seconds, the two cavalrymen collided.
At this time, a scene that shocked the captain appeared.
The subordinate raised his saber high and was about to stop his opponent when the war horse suddenly fell to his knees on the ground. Under the influence of huge inertia, the soldier holding the saber in his hand could only be thrown forward and fell to the ground.
What the co-captain expected did not happen.
Not only that, but an incredible scene appeared on the battlefield in front of him.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry were not chopped down to the ground by their soldiers with sabers. Instead, at the moment of contact with the Eighth Route Army, the front legs of the war horses seemed to have been cut off. They all knelt down on the ground, and then threw the guards on the horses and smashed them to the ground.
, and then was beaten into a pulp by the cavalry who came from behind.
In the blink of an eye, all the dozens of subordinates in the front row were dead.
The opponent, the Eighth Route Army, had almost no casualties. They controlled their horses, lined up in neat military formations, and continued to attack them~
Immediately afterwards, the second row of cavalry fell to the ground just like the first row...
Then there are the Japanese cavalry in the third row~
"Bagh Ya Road~ How could this happen? How did the Eighth Route Army do it!" The captain of the regiment was stunned for several seconds on his horse before he realized what was going on. Then he shouted in shock.
"Sir...it's a trip horse rope. All the horses in front of the Eighth Route Army are connected with iron chains. As soon as our cavalry rushes over, they will be knocked to the ground by the iron chains!" A squadron leader suddenly reacted.
"Nani? Trip Masuo~" the co-captain also reacted.
His face turned pale in shock.
The troops and the enemy have already engaged, and retreat is definitely impossible. All we can do is rush forward.
However, if there is always a trip rope in front of the troops, no matter how many men rush over, they will be tripped by the trip rope and fall down on the charging road.
"We must destroy the Eighth Route Army's stumbling block in front of us!" the commander immediately made a decision.
Then he ordered: "Use the war horse to hit... knock over the Eighth Route Army's chained horse rope. As long as one of the horses is knocked over, the other chained horses will be dragged down and fall to the ground together!"
These Japanese cavalrymen were indeed veterans who were fearless in death. Even though they knew that they would perish together if they collided with the cavalrymen coming from the opposite direction, they still rushed forward without hesitation and without any hesitation.
The captain of the company kept staring at the battlefield, but the expected chain reaction did not appear.
After several subordinates died together with the Eighth Route Army cavalry at the front, the fallen Eighth Route Army cavalry affected at most two cavalrymen around them. Some cavalrymen even only affected one cavalryman next to them and dragged him to the ground~
As for the other cavalry, they continued to charge in the direction where they were, and the iron chain across them continued to knock their men over on the attack path.
More than half a month ago, the Japanese used this method to knock over dozens of soldiers in the cavalry battalion at once.
The first time the cavalry battalion used the trip rope, it was because the Japanese used this method at the last moment. In the end, nearly a hundred cavalrymen who were hung up with the trip rope were all killed in battle. In order to solve this problem, Ma Houshou had an idea and directly used a large trip rope.
Become small tripping ropes.
Two or three war horses are connected together to form a small tripping rope, and dozens of tripping ropes are intertwined with each other to form a large tripping rope.
In this way, even if the Japanese cavalry escapes the tripping rope in front, he cannot escape the tripping rope behind.
More importantly, even if two or three cavalrymen forming a tripping rope are attacked and fall on the attack path, the other tripping ropes will basically not be affected and continue to move forward.
Unless the little devil decides to exchange one life for another and knocks over all the cavalrymen who form the tripping rope by dying together.
However, in this case, their casualties will definitely be much greater.
Even if the Japanese cavalry are well-trained, there is no way they can guarantee that each cavalry will hit an Eighth Route Army cavalry on a chaotic battlefield!
After losing more than 300 cavalry, the Eighth Route Army's cavalry who were connected with horse ropes were finally knocked over.
Taking advantage of the brave-faced captain who finally regained some confidence, he raised his saber and ordered: "Continue the assault, kill them, and avenge the warriors who died in the battle... kill them~"
After saying that, the commander of the regiment kicked the horse's belly hard with both feet, preparing to join the fight himself and vent his pent-up anger with the blood and brains of the Eighth Route Army cavalry.
In cavalry assault and bayonet fighting, three cavalrymen in a cavalry battalion are no match for one cavalryman in a Japanese cavalry regiment.
Ma Houshi knew it well.
Therefore, from the beginning, he was not prepared for a head-on assault with the Japanese cavalry.
The fire company in front to meet the enemy, and the stumbling rope next to him, were all the appetizers he prepared for the little devil.
Seeing that the Japanese had finally eaten these two appetizers, as if they saw victory, they rushed towards him with their sabers raised. The follow-up troops of the cavalry battalion commanded by Ma Houshi actually stopped.
"Kill them! Kill them and kill all the remaining Eighth Route Army troops..."
The Eighth Route Army cavalry suddenly stopped, which further aroused the Japanese's desire to win. They continued to charge forward with a desperate attitude.
The deafening sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the earth trembled under the sound of horse hooves.
"Show all the guys out, shoot them all, and let the Japanese have a taste of what fire coverage is!" Ma Houshou shouted with excitement on his face, and he hugged the submachine gun hanging on his back. Then he pulled the bolt,
Pull the trigger.
Among the seventy or eighty cavalrymen standing side by side with the horses, more than twenty of them held light machine guns in their hands, and almost all of the remaining cavalrymen held a submachine gun. As for the cavalrymen at the back, each held a rifle in his hand, passing through the cavalrymen and cavalrymen.
Shoot forward between air strikes!
The dense bullets flew towards the charging Japanese like rain.
Including the commander, no one expected that the Eighth Route Army would choose to use guns at such a dangerous distance.
It only takes a few seconds for the troops to rush into the Eighth Route Army cavalry formation and chop off their heads with sabers.
However, they just used it and prepared such powerful firepower for themselves.
The firepower density of the bullets fired by so many automatic weapons was almost greater than that of all the small weapons fired by one's own regiment.
