Chapter 1323 There are killer moves before and after
The Eighth Route Army that attacked us by surprise only had more than a hundred cavalry, and the two cavalry squadrons had more than two hundred cavalry. With a two-to-one strength advantage, they would definitely win.
This is the thought of all Japanese soldiers, including commander Lieutenant Colonel Aoki.
The captain of the cavalry brigade was already happy and immediately replied: "Sir, don't worry, we will kill all those cavalry."
After saying that, he urged his horse to leave here.
Half a minute later, more than two hundred cavalrymen broke away from the team and pursued them in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's retreat.
The team stopped just after running 500 meters. Aoki raised his binoculars with a puzzled look on his face.
"kill……"
There was a cry of killing among the cavalry, and the sound of killing was loud. Then, more than two hundred cavalrymen drew their sabers and charged forward in battle formation, the speed getting faster and faster.
In the other direction, some figures of the Eighth Route Army could be vaguely seen, raising their sabers to launch a counterattack against the cavalry squadron.
"Death in battle..." The cavalry captain who returned to Lieutenant Colonel Aoki said with a cold snort.
The cavalry under his command are all elites who have been trained for at least a year. Many veterans have even been trained for more than two years, and their ability to attack and fight is very strong.
If they fight head-on, they won't be afraid of any army, let alone the Eighth Route Army, which doesn't even have enough to eat.
The captain seemed to have thought of the wonderful scene of the Eighth Route Army being cut down by sabers after the two armies came into contact, and he was grinning.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
A burst of gunfire suddenly came from the battlefield, shattering his dream.
I don’t know when, the Eighth Route Army cavalry in the front row replaced all their sabers with box cannons and submachine guns. They sat on their horses, held the gun in one hand, and opened fire on the Japanese who were charging towards them.
Since the garrison and the Jinsui Army started trading, through Yan Youjin's relationship, the garrison purchased a lot of equipment privately.
Among all the equipment of the Jinsui Army, the only one that Li Hao valued was the Jin-made submachine gun, which had a long range and sufficient firepower.
By selling artillery shells and medicines, Li Hao bought more than 500 submachine guns piecemeal, and equipped the security forces, reconnaissance troops, and cavalry troops in large quantities.
The cavalry battalion has the most equipment, and each cavalry squad is equipped with two.
It was the first company of the cavalry battalion that launched the counterattack against the Japanese army. Twenty squad leaders and deputy squad leaders of the whole company rushed to the front, each holding a submachine gun. They fired together when the two armies were still fifty or sixty meters away.
The airtight bullets flew towards the Japanese like rain.
This change came so suddenly. All the Japs held in their hands were sabers, so they could only engage in hand-to-hand combat. It was unrealistic to change weapons temporarily, so they had no choice but to rush forward.
Then there was a scene like this on the battlefield. Under the harvest of twenty submachine guns, the first few rows of Japanese cavalry were like ripe wheat, falling off their horses piece by piece. Only a handful of them were lucky enough to escape.
Two full cavalry squadrons were reduced to one and a half squadrons in the blink of an eye.
The captain clenched his fists and his eyes turned red.
In his plan, even if he killed all the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the battlefield, two squadrons would not lose so many people.
Reality did give me a loud slap in the face.
Before the two armies came into contact, his subordinates were attacked by a burst of firepower from the Eighth Route Army and killed half of the squadron. This was definitely the biggest humiliation he had ever experienced since joining the army.
With a stern face and murderous intent, he ordered: "The cavalry continues to charge forward. I will kill all the cavalry on the opposite side."
"Kill me..."
The remaining Japanese cavalry on the battlefield were also angry. Everyone stared with a pair of red eyes, like a volcano erupting, howling and charging forward.
"kill……"
Not to be outdone, more than a hundred Eighth Route Army troops replaced their submachine guns with sabers and charged forward without hesitation.
Battle scenes like cavalry assault and cavalry are not only difficult for the enemy to encounter, but the cavalry battalion also rarely has the opportunity to encounter them.
A cavalryman who has not experienced such a bloody battle can never be called a true cavalryman.
Zhou Wu wanted to train the cavalry battalion into a cavalry that could not be dragged or defeated. Such a bloody battle must be experienced once, even if it pays a huge price, it is worth it.
Because after this assault, the remaining cavalry will become real elite cavalry. With them as the backbone of the cavalry battalion, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion will definitely increase.
"Rumble..."
Two high-speed assaulting cavalry crashed into each other.
Many cavalry were knocked off their horses by the oncoming cavalry before they could take action...
"Dang-dang-dang...bang-bang..."
The metallic clash of sabers against sabers, the screams of wounded soldiers, and the neighing of war horses all immediately became audible.
However, this kind of confrontation goes as quickly as it comes.
The speed of the cavalry was so fast that it only took half a minute for the two troops to go from contact to separation.
A large number of corpses were dumped on the fighting battlefield, including those of the Eighth Route Army and those of the Japanese, but there were obviously more corpses of the Eighth Route Army.
More than a hundred war horses lost their owners and were left there alone...
The Japanese cavalry squadron still has one full squadron, and the Eighth Route Army still has more than 40 people. The teams are all much shorter.
Seeing this, the captain became more confident in destroying the Eighth Route Army.
If you continue to fight according to the casualty ratio just now, you will be able to completely annihilate your opponent by losing at most twenty more subordinates.
At the scene, after one round of fighting, the speed of both sides became slower and slower, preparing to nod for the second round of fighting.
"Rumble..."
A more rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded directly in front of the cavalry squadron.
Under the cover of night, the silhouettes of these cavalrymen were vaguely visible.
The cavalrymen in the front row were armed with submachine guns, and the soldiers in the rear row were armed with sabers. They roared and charged towards the cavalry squadron.
At this moment, they were slowing down and turning around.
Facing the cavalry rushing in front, everyone took a moment to react.
Without losing his head, he quickly accelerated to meet him.
In a cavalry battle, speed is the key. If the opponent rushes fast and you are slow, you will definitely suffer the loss.
The captain of the cavalry squadron who led the team knew this truth very well.
Immediately order the troops to speed up and rush forward to ensure that the assault speed does not suffer too much before the two sides come into contact.
"Baba..."
This time the Japanese were obviously more experienced. When the distance between the two sides was still nearly a hundred meters, all their sabers were replaced by horse rifles, and they charged and shot at the same time.
But they were all equipped with single-shot rifles, and they fired with one hand. After firing the bullets in the chamber, they could not reload the rifle. They could only insert the rifle back into the holster, replace it with a saber and continue to attack forward.
The sparse bullets only caused less than ten casualties to the oncoming cavalry.
By this time, the distance between the two troops had shortened to fifty or sixty meters.
The squad leader and deputy squad leader who were not killed in the front row raised their submachine guns and decisively pulled the trigger, firing retaliatory fire at the Japanese.
Compared with the rifle bullets fired by the Japanese, the density of the bullets they fired was definitely not at the same level.
In the blink of an eye, all three rows of cavalry in front were shot and fell from their horses.
"Kill...kill..."
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the two troops collided...
