Two landmines exploded one after another, and the two Japanese cavalry fell to the ground with a "boom..." and never got up again.
The cavalry behind them were used to this, and instead of stopping, they continued to urge their horses to speed up, bypassing the corpses of their comrades and continuing to gallop forward.
"Da da da……"
The sound of light machine gun fire suddenly sounded on the flanks of the cavalry. Although the cavalry was very fast, the bullets flying towards them were too dense. Two cavalrymen fell off their horses at the sound and were dragged dozens of meters by their horses before they stopped.
The other nearby cavalrymen seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window and did not see their killed comrades, so they continued to move forward quickly...
This is the reconnaissance company slowing down the Japanese reinforcements.
Just now, this style of play was still effective, forcing the cavalry brigade to stop several times.
After beating, the Japanese seemed to be numbed by the beating. No matter how hard the reconnaissance company tried to attack, they stopped attacking, showing a complete disregard for reinforcements on the battlefield.
Just when Chen Wei frowned and thought about whether there was any other way to continue to hold back the Japs, the messenger took a small road and rushed over on horseback: "Company commander, Commander Zhou of the cavalry battalion asked me to tell you that the cavalry battalion has been in place, and the reconnaissance company
You can withdraw from the battle."
"Great!" Chen Wei happened to be unable to think of a way to continue to hold off the Japanese. When he heard the news that the cavalry battalion was in place, he was obviously relieved.
"Rumble..."
More than two hundred cavalrymen galloped at the same time, and the roaring sound of horse hooves was no less than the sound of thunder.
The captain of the cavalry brigade ran in the middle of the team, watching and listening in all directions.
While running, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the battlefield.
He quickly drew out his saber, raised it above his head, and shouted loudly.
"The third brigade is still fighting. Warriors, all fight with me to rescue them."
The nearby cavalry were the first to react, raising their sabers and preparing for an assault.
This move quickly spread throughout the cavalry brigade.
At this time, the first few cavalrymen could already see the flames rising from the battlefield.
His expression became even more excited, and he kept patting the war horse's belly, urging it to go faster.
Three hundred meters ahead, six heavy machine guns and more than ten light machine guns were set up next to each other on the road.
To the side and rear of the machine gun position, a cavalry battalion of more than 300 cavalrymen was divided into two, ready to attack forward at any time.
Probably knowing that they were about to go to the battlefield, many war horses began to become restless.
All this was shrouded tightly in the night, and the cavalry rushing over quickly did not notice anything.
"Rumble..."
The Japanese cavalry rushed closer and closer, and with the roar of horse hooves, the road beneath their feet began to tremble.
The first few cavalrymen raised their sabers high, and in the blink of an eye they reached a position a hundred meters in front of the machine gun position.
At their current speed, they could reach the machine gun position in five seconds at most.
Some machine gunners were lying on the ground, and some were squatting on the ground, and they could vaguely see the Japanese figures approaching.
The cavalry battalion fire company commander no longer hesitated and ordered in a deep voice: "Fire all light machine guns..."
"Da da da……"
Before he finished speaking, the familiar and intensive sound of strafing rang out.
On a position less than thirty meters wide, at least twelve light machine guns were firing, and there was a tongue of fire every two meters.
The whizzing bullets hit the charging Japanese like a rain of bullets.
With a sound of "Boom...", the first few cavalrymen had already hit the ground, and they were less than 70 meters away from the machine gun position.
The cavalry was too fast. Facing the surprise attack, the cavalry behind them could not stop at all. They rushed forward and were hit by a hail of bullets from light machine guns.
"Rush over, the opponent only has light machine guns, not heavy machine guns, speed up and kill them while they are changing bullets!" The cavalry captain was heartbroken, but the next rescue mission was too important, and he couldn't waste a second longer.
Reins, command with gritted teeth.
"kill……"
Some cavalrymen replaced their sabers with horse rifles and charged forward while counterattacking.
The fire company began to suffer casualties, the cavalry brigade continued to advance, and the attack distance slowly shortened from eighty or ninety meters to fifty meters.
But the price paid by the Japanese was huge. At least fifty cavalrymen and horses fell on the offensive road.
"Heavy machine guns join the battle!" the fire company commander ordered decisively.
Heavy machine guns have more firepower than light machine guns, have a faster rate of fire, have stronger bullet penetration, and have a longer range. More importantly, they do not need to change magazines.
As long as the ammunition hand cooperates well, the firepower can be maintained for several minutes without interruption, which is an absolute killer weapon against cavalry.
Once they fired, the Japanese couldn't move forward any further.
More and more people died, and with repeated beatings, they actually killed all the Japanese within a hundred meters...
"Disperse..." The cavalry captain's heart began to bleed and he shouted anxiously.
At the same time, he also realized that it was not easy to stop his Eighth Route Army.
Use the light machine gun to intercept first so that you can underestimate the enemy.
He waited until the troops got close to the heavy machine gun and then opened fire, causing a large number of casualties to the cavalry captain.
You can't simply show weakness without being seen through by yourself.
"Sir, more than half of the troops have suffered casualties. Not only will we not be able to save the third brigade by charging hard, we ourselves will die here." A squadron leader came over to remind us.
"Charge in a roundabout way from both sides of the battlefield!" the captain made a quick decision.
"In order to concentrate the firepower, they arranged the machine guns together. The two wings definitely did not have that strong interception firepower."
"One of us will lead half of the troops to rush over, and then rescue the third group first, then turn around and kill the Eighth Route Army here to avenge the warriors who died in the battle."
"Rumble..."
More than a hundred Japs quickly divided their forces. The captain led more than eighty men and rushed faster and faster. Just when he was about to reach the flank of the blocking force, the familiar sound of horse hooves sounded in front of him, getting closer and closer.
For a moment, the densely packed figures of the cavalry appeared in his field of vision.
"It's the Eighth Route Army cavalry!" the captain shouted.
As a true cavalry officer, he would definitely prefer to fight against the cavalry.
Even if the Chinese army has cavalry, the horses and soldiers will not be as strong as the imperial army due to insufficient food and grass.
In addition, their training time and training methods are not as orthodox as the Imperial Army. If the two armies clash, the Imperial Army will definitely win.
Taking these factors into account, the cavalry captain not only was not afraid, but his eyes shone.
He raised his saber and charged while shouting: "Fight with me and kill them all. Let the Chinese army know what a real cavalry is!"
"Kill me..."
The cavalry captain was too arrogant, and ignored a very important factor in combat: only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one be victorious in every battle.
Now he knew nothing about the oncoming cavalry, and he accepted the challenge hastily. He rushed over with only enthusiasm. It would be too difficult to win.
