"What's the sound?" The lieutenant frowned and asked subconsciously without looking away from the retreating troops on the battlefield.
The second lieutenant and team leader next to him was also alarmed. When he looked back, he didn't look good.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't speak clearly anymore.
"Sir... it's... it's cavalry... the Eighth Route Army cavalry is coming towards us!"
"Impossible!" the lieutenant retorted subconsciously.
He turned around and glanced behind him, and his whole body froze on the spot.
More than a hundred cavalry rushed toward him like a whirlwind, getting faster and faster.
At that moment, the lieutenant seemed to have seen the tragic scene of himself being trampled to pulp by horse hooves. His face turned pale and he subconsciously shouted.
"We must stop them and never let them rush over, otherwise we will all die here!"
Then he yelled at the second lieutenant who was still in a daze beside him.
"Why are you still standing there? Organize a defense line immediately to stop them!"
"The cavalry is afraid of machine guns. Immediately concentrate all the machine guns to intercept fire and block them in front! There is also a heavy machine gun detachment. Move them over too. Two heavy machine guns are worth five or six light machine guns. They will definitely be able to stop them!"
The second lieutenant did not move and replied with a desperate look on his face: "Sir, it's too late!"
"Our troops are still on the battlefield. Their cavalry has already attacked us before they even retreated here. They have no time to prepare!"
"The heavy machine gun is being moved, and it is being stared at by the Eighth Route Army's grenade. It is impossible to get through!"
"It's over~" the lieutenant shouted with despair.
Then two words flashed in my mind: "Retreat!"
But before the words came out of his mouth, he swallowed them back.
No matter how fast your two legs are, they can't be faster than the four legs of a war horse!
Standing here to face the enemy head on, you still have a chance to risk your life and kill an Eighth Route Army cavalry before dying.
If he ran for his life, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist. The cavalry who was directly killed cut himself in two from the back.
The cavalry rushed over so fast that in the blink of an eye they were two hundred meters in front of the lieutenant.
The lieutenant, who couldn't think of any other way, could only draw his command knife and shouted with a murderous look on his face: "All the troops are fighting independently. Since there is no way to assemble the troops, then we will fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army cavalry who came over!"
"There are only imperial warriors who died in battle on the battlefield, and there are no warriors who retreated and fled for their lives!"
"Kill me..."
"Bang bang bang..."
He raised his command sword with both hands, shouted slogans, and was about to launch a countercharge against the cavalry when a series of gunshots suddenly rang out among the cavalry.
He couldn't hear it very clearly under the cover of the sound of horse hooves, but the lieutenant was sure that what he heard was the sound of gunshots.
Staring at him with a pair of eyes filled with astonishment, before he had time to react, two bullets whizzed over and pierced his chest.
"Baga...it's a horse rifle..."
The lieutenant only had time to yell out these few words before he threw himself to the ground with a face filled with reluctance.
"Rumble... bang bang..."
The roar of the war horses became louder and louder, and the firing of horse rifles also continued.
When the last gunshot stopped, more than a hundred cavalrymen agreed to raise their sabers at the same time, with the blade forward, preparing for the final assault.
"Cavalry company, kill me!"
Company Commander Zhou Wu rushed to the front, raising his saber above his head, keeping his body as close as possible to the back of his horse, and roared while continuing to charge forward.
The Japanese and puppet troops who had not retreated from the battlefield were also stunned. The light and heavy machine guns behind them were still firing, and bullets were flying towards their backs. Some people were killed one after another, and fell to the ground with a plop, dying.
What made everyone despair was that before anyone could escape from death, more than a hundred cavalry were already coming towards them.
The cavalry was so close that they had no choice but to confront the enemy head-on or retreat.
The Japanese were not afraid of death and did not hesitate to attack them head-on.
They all have certain military knowledge. Compared with facing the enemy head-on, if they choose to retreat and be chased and killed by the cavalry, everyone will definitely die more tragically.
If you don't have time to organize the rifle machine gun to intercept the fire, you will hold the rifle with the bayonet in your hand, scream and rush towards the approaching cavalry, fighting for your life.
The puppet army does not have such courage, even if many company and platoon leaders are hardcore traitors.
Compared to working for the Japs, they are more afraid of death.
If you fight head-on, you will definitely die, and you will be trampled to pieces by the hooves of war horses, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Thinking of this tragic scene, they felt like they were about to collapse.
Even if you retreat and run for your life, you will still die, but at least you will be killed by bullets, there will be no much pain, and you will be able to leave a complete body.
More importantly, if you react quickly enough and are lucky enough to surrender immediately, you may be lucky enough to save your life.
"Kill..." the devil Cao Chang shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Warriors, for victory, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the Empire of Japan, fight to the end..."
In the blink of an eye, the puppet troops who had been mixed together for more than a hundred days separated.
More than thirty Japanese soldiers continued to charge forward, some holding rifles ready to fight, and some holding grenades in their hands, ready to die together with the oncoming cavalry.
The puppet troops fell behind, and they were so frightened that they became confused on the spot and scattered like birds and beasts.
Some people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling all over, praying in their hearts that they could survive.
With a face full of fear and losing his mind, he wandered around the battlefield without any purpose.
"kill……"
Zhou Wu raised his sword and deflected the bayonet thrust by a little devil. Then he turned the blade and swung it back. The sharp blade left a blood mark on the opponent's neck, and blood shot out from the blood mark like a fountain.
It almost splashed onto Zhou Wu.
After the first Japanese was killed, Zhou Wu raised his blood-stained saber again to kill the second Japanese.
On the third company's position, I saw the cavalry company fighting all the way, and Japanese soldiers were being hacked to pieces.
Huang Sheng also became excited and shouted immediately.
"It's our cavalry. The cavalry company is here to reinforce us!"
"All the machine guns stopped firing, and we went out and cooperated with the cavalry to kill these idiots and annihilate them all!"
"The second row of left wing encircled me, the third row of right wing encircled me, and the others fought me head-on. Even a single Japanese and puppet army couldn't let them escape!"
"Corpser, blow the charge horn!"
"Comrades, come with me..."
The battle went more smoothly than expected.
Of the more than seventy little Japs, the Third Company killed more than twenty, leaving more than fifty Japs left, not enough for two cavalry companies to share one.
More than a hundred cavalry rushed over. In just one sweeping attack, not a single living Japs was seen on the battlefield.
They turned a blind eye to the puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground, swept past them, and then began to chase and kill the fleeing puppet soldiers.
By the time Hong Linfeng arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over.
