"Commander, the first battalion and the armored company are charging forward!" Hong Linfeng shouted with joy on his face and excitement on his face.
Li Hao nodded and replied: "There are many puppet troops on the battlefield who defected before the battle. Their actions directly accelerated the progress of the battlefield, otherwise their attack would not have been so smooth."
Then Li Hao began to give orders.
"Chief of Staff, you stay in Caoziling, command the first battalion and the armored company to clean the battlefield, and then arrange for the heavy artillery battalion to retreat first."
"The Second and Third Battalions follow me and attack in the direction of Datong to meet our troops lurking in Datong."
In a mountain col 20 kilometers away from Datong, more than a hundred cavalry are lurking here, led by Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the garrison regiment.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, a cavalryman broke into the secret camp, jumped off his horse and rushed all the way to Zhou Wu before stopping.
"Battal Commander, the Jinsui Army and the Japanese and puppet troops are coming towards us."
"The Jin-Sui army is in front, with nearly a thousand people."
"For more than three hundred days, the puppet troops followed closely behind. They were not equipped with heavy weapons. At the end were more than a hundred Japanese troops, equipped with four mortars and four heavy machine guns. The three troops were separated by nearly four kilometers.
The marching speed is very fast, and you can reach the road opposite us in twenty minutes at most."
The reports from his subordinates were very detailed, and Zhou Wu knew the enemy's situation clearly without asking a second time.
Before he could speak, the commander of the company under his command couldn't help shouting.
"Battal Commander, this is fat meat that is brought to your mouth. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it for free."
"I suggest attacking the Japanese and puppet troops in front first. They are not equipped with heavy weapons and can only be beaten in front of the cavalry. I guarantee that a single assault can wipe them all out."
Zhou Wu did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "After beating them, what will happen to the more than a hundred little devils behind them?"
"They are equipped with four heavy machine guns. Once they are alert, four heavy machine guns will be fired in front of us. No matter how many troops the cavalry battalion has, they will not be enough to kill them."
"This..." The company commander frowned and fell into thought.
The two armies are less than four kilometers apart. When the cavalry attacks the Japanese and puppet troops in front, the Japanese behind will definitely hear it and become alert.
After racking his brains and failing to come up with a solution, he could only place his hope on the battalion commander and asked anxiously.
"Battal Commander, how are we going to fight?"
"Hit the little devil at the back first." Zhou Wu replied.
"The only thing that can pose a threat to us is the four heavy machine guns. As long as we kill the heavy machine gun troops, our worries will be gone. Then we can fight however we want."
At the edge of the forest more than 300 meters away from the road, more than a hundred cavalry were lurking here under the command of Zhou Wu.
The soldiers were all riding on horseback, holding sabers in one hand and reins in the other, ready to charge into the battlefield at any time.
"Batalion Commander, the Japs are coming." A cavalryman ran over and reported.
"Batalion Commander, come on!" the first company commander said eagerly.
"Launching a direct attack on the Japanese from the flank will definitely catch them by surprise and kill them at the minimum cost."
"No rush..." Zhou Wu made a calm gesture.
Then he explained: "When the Japanese pass by, we will attack from behind them."
"At that time, the Japanese will definitely not think that there will be an enemy behind them, and they will mistake us for their own people and be unprepared."
"By the time the little devils react, we will have already reached behind them. If we try to fight back then, we will have no chance."
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers marched quickly past Zhou Wu's eyes, and then slowly disappeared at the end of the road.
It was only then that Zhou Wu drew out his saber, raised it high, and shouted with excitement: "It's almost time, cavalry camp, fight with me..."
"Rumble..."
The sound of roaring horse hooves gradually became stronger and reached the little devil's ears.
Most of them were battle-hardened veterans, and they knew the roar was coming from the cavalry.
As Zhou Wu expected, because the sound of horse hooves came from behind, all the Japanese thought that this cavalry was sent by Datong City to reinforce them.
Without any warning, he carried his weapons and continued to chase the troops in front.
"Rumble..."
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the silhouette of the cavalry could already be seen at the end of the road.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed to a position less than 200 meters away from them.
The sound of horse hooves reached the ears of the Japanese like thunder, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
"Something's wrong. Those cavalrymen are probably not our own." The captain frowned and analyzed.
"If they are one of our own, they must have seen us. Logically, they should slow down and go around us."
"But instead of slowing down, they ran faster and faster. Aren't they afraid of hitting us and causing accidental injuries..."
"Saber! They have sabers in their hands..." cried a sergeant.
The captain's face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted out loud: "Bageya Road, they are not our own, they are enemies. The troops should turn around immediately and go to defense!"
"Set up all the heavy machine guns to block them."
The cavalry's assault speed was too fast. When the order was given, they had already rushed 150 meters away, and the assault speed was getting faster and faster.
According to the current assault speed, the last 150 meters can be reached in less than ten seconds.
The artillerymen walked at the end of the team, and the heavy machine gun team walked in the middle.
After receiving the defense order, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed back carrying heavy machine guns and ammunition.
After finally setting up the heavy machine gun in fear, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.
"Baba...dah...dah..."
Ride rifles, submachine guns, and pistols and shoot together.
Bullets flew over, and the Japanese on the front two heavy machine gun positions were immediately killed and wounded, and fell into chaos.
"kill……"
A cavalryman charged forward, raising the saber high in his hand. When he passed by the heavy machine gun, he quickly swung it down and flashed a burst of sword light.
Under the influence of huge inertia, the sharp blade easily broke through the Japanese military uniform and opened a bloody gash on his shoulder.
"kill……"
More and more cavalry entered the battlefield, wielding their sabers to kill the Japanese.
In just one attack, more than a hundred Japanese were all killed, leaving no one alive.
In addition to scattered weapons and ammunition, the road was littered with corpses of Japanese soldiers with mutilated limbs.
"It's great... Battalion Commander, it was so great to kill just now. More than a hundred Japanese were killed cleanly and without any slipping through the net. We killed them all." The first company commander wiped off the blood of the Japanese splattered on his face and shouted excitedly.
"I just made statistics. A total of 13 cavalrymen were killed in the battle, and three were seriously injured. The others are all intact."
"And everyone's morale is high, and they are all clamoring to continue going to the battlefield to kill the Japanese."
"I suggest that the troops continue their efforts and take advantage of this momentum to attack the more than 300 days of puppet troops ahead."
Zhou Wu did not refuse: "The company and platoon just rushed to the front and suffered the greatest casualties. Stay and clean the battlefield, take all the captured items and retreat towards Caoziling."
"The others set out with me to attack the remaining Japanese and puppet troops."
