Under the cover of night, the Japanese captain could not see the situation of the independent regiment. Li Hao could not see the situation of the Japanese either. He could only judge the Japanese troop deployment by the number and distribution of torches!
However, the sound of the cavalry's galloping hooves could not be stopped in the night!
The eyes of regimental commander Li Hao, third battalion commander Huang Sheng, and artillery battalion commander Yuan Qingfeng all lit up at the same time!
"The little devil has been fooled. Order the troops to prepare for battle and kill the little devil's cavalry squadron in one battle!" Li Hao immediately ordered, his words full of uncontrollable excitement!
In order not to make himself a target, the attacking cavalry did not hold up torches. Li Hao could only judge their strength and distance by the sound of horse hooves!
Soon, Li Hao's face became serious!
"The Japanese cavalry that came over happened to be a squadron of more than a hundred people, and they had already rushed three hundred meters away!"
"Order the Seventh Company. The Japanese will shoot as soon as they are two hundred meters away. Shoot wherever there is the sound of horse hooves. Kill as many as you can!"
"All light and heavy machine gunners on the earth wall listen to my order before firing!"
"After the Japanese cavalry rushes 50 meters in front of the seventh company formation, I will fire out a signal flare. When I see the signal flare, all light and heavy machine guns will fire. I will aim at the Japanese cavalry and hit me hard to annihilate them all!"
"The artillery battalion and all mortar platoons are also ready for battle!"
"After we open fire, the Japanese mortars will definitely suppress the village with artillery fire!"
"The mortar platoons don't have to wait for orders. As soon as the Japanese mortars fire, you will fight back!"
"The mountain artillery battalion fires together, but your target is the Japs assembly area. Force their mountain artillery squadrons out by attacking the Japs infantry, and then blow up their assembled infantry to create conditions for a cavalry assault!"
"Companies No. 8 and No. 9 are also ready for battle!"
"There is flat land for several kilometers around. If the little devil wants to survive the assault of the cavalry battalion, he has no choice but to enter the village and defend one road!"
"At that time, they will definitely attack Zhuangzi with all their strength. Your task is to hold the position and kill all the little devils who want to come in. Are you clear?"
As soon as a series of orders were finished, the cavalry squadron had already reached a position less than 200 meters in front of the formation!
"Da da da……"
Seven consecutive shots were fired. The bullets fired from five crooked rifles and dozens of rifles were not dense, but the blind cat killed the mouse and still knocked down two cavalry!
But the cavalry's assault speed was too fast. Although soldiers were constantly being killed, both men and horses fell on the road!
But those casualties did not affect their assault speed!
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry at the front rushed to a position less than 100 meters in front of the formation!
Listening to the sound of horse hooves, there are at least a hundred cavalry on the battlefield, galloping towards the position to kill them!
The distance of 100 meters can be covered in the blink of an eye!
The position under the Seventh Company began to tremble with the sound of horse hooves. Although everyone continued to shoot, everyone was very nervous and endured unprecedented mental pressure.
His face was pale and his heart was tense in his throat, as if he was about to face death in the next moment!
The devil's face was full of excitement!
The squadron leader rushed in the middle of the team, holding the reins with one hand to control the horse under his hip, and holding the saber above his head with the other hand, with the blade forward, ready for the final fight!
In his opinion, the cavalry squadron has already won this assault!
On flat ground, the infantry will definitely die in front of the cavalry, and there is no other way out!
The blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army was too weak and it was impossible to block the cavalry offensive!
As long as you reach their blocking position, they will only end up being massacred. There is no other way out!
Thinking that the saber in his hand would soon be stained with the enemy's blood, the excitement on the squadron leader's face turned directly into fanaticism!
"Da da da……"
The sound of heavy machine gun fire, which I was familiar with yet fearful of, but I had never thought about throughout the evening, suddenly rang out, and it was right in front of me, very dense!
The arrogance and excitement on the face of the squadron leader disappeared, and his mood was as if he had suddenly gone from heaven to hell, and suddenly fell to the bottom!
The dream of breaking through the Eighth Route Army's position, killing all parties on the position, and killing the Eighth Route Army was shattered instantly.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he looked in front of him in disbelief!
At least twenty machine gun flames suddenly appeared in the night seventy or eighty meters away, and almost half of them were fired by heavy machine guns!
The bullets they fired were like meteors, whizzing over and forming an airtight net of bullets in front of the cavalry squadron!
The cavalry squadron, which was unstoppable just now, directly hit its head in this fire net and suffered a bloody head!
No matter how desperate my subordinates are to rush forward, they can't take another step forward!
In the blink of an eye, the dozens of cavalrymen in front of him all fell to the ground!
The sudden blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army was so fierce that it was impossible to rush through just relying on cavalry assault!
Seeing more and more soldiers being killed and the horses falling to the ground, the heartbroken squadron leader decisively ordered: "Retreat, everyone turn around and retreat!"
After the order is given, the squadron leader is the first to take action!
But the cavalry's assault speed is too fast. It is basically impossible to turn around directly unless you slow down!
But in this way, the entire cavalry squadron really becomes a living target!
Moreover, because the cavalry behind them were too far away and under the influence of night, they did not receive the order and did not stop. They still raised their sabers high and rushed towards here with howls!
If you suddenly stop and turn around, even if you are not killed by the Eighth Route Army in front, you will be hit and killed by the cavalry from behind!
After quickly rejecting this retreat method in his mind, a new idea appeared in his mind!
"Turn around, let's rush to the left wing of the blocking position and retreat in a circle!" the squadron leader made a quick decision and began to give the order.
Then he was the first to take action, driving the horses under his legs and rushing to the front.
The Japs who are still alive on the battlefield will follow immediately!
Because the machine gunners of the Independent Regiment fired based on the sound of horse hooves, the squadron leader who was leading the way was directly suppressed by the sound of horse hooves produced by his subordinates because the sound of horse hooves was too weak. No machine gun even noticed him, and he successfully retreated without any damage!
Other devils were not so lucky.
The flanks are completely exposed to the guns of the independent regiment, and they are just within the optimal range of the light and heavy machine guns!
As long as you are targeted, there is almost no possibility of escape!
Wherever the cavalry went, soldiers and horses were constantly being beaten to death, or soldiers were shot, fell off their horses, and were trampled to pieces by the cavalry behind them!
Even if the Japs turned in circles in front of the independent group and retreated crazily!
The flying bullets are still chasing their butts!
No matter how fast the cavalry was, they couldn't beat the bullets. On the entire retreat, at least twenty corpses fell everywhere!
The gunfire stopped, but the cavalry squadron leader who was lucky enough to survive was on the verge of crying!
There were more than 120 people in the cavalry squadron before the attack, but less than 20 cavalrymen were able to safely retreat with him. The entire cavalry squadron was almost destroyed!
