The two cavalry were still more than a hundred meters apart, so the Japanese knew that Zhou Wu was the enemy!
There are not many troops left, and the breakout troops of the garrison have shrunk into a group again. The range of the battlefield is limited, and only one unit can attack at a time!
A total of more than forty cavalry were divided into three assault detachments, taking turns to attack the Eighth Route Army!
Therefore, when I am raiding my opponent, I will never have any of my own people enter the battlefield, and they will directly bump into me!
"The opponent must be the Eighth Route Army cavalry, and there are only a dozen of them! Warriors, turn around and kill these dozen Eighth Route Army cavalry first!" the second lieutenant made a decision quickly!
Then he directly changed the rifle with a flat end into a saber, and while slapping his horse to kill Zhou Wu, he shouted arrogantly: "Replace the rifle with a saber. The battlefield is too dark and it is difficult to aim the rifle. Let's just use the saber to tell the Eighth Route Army what to do."
A true cavalryman!"
"kill……"
The light of the sword flashed, and the squad leader quickly raised the sharp saber above his head, urging his horse to kill Zhou Wu faster and faster!
Under the darkness of night, Zhou Wu could not see the Japanese!
But the increasingly rapid sound of horse hooves made him realize: the Japanese were coming, and they were coming fiercely!
Success or failure depends on this move, Zhou Wu thought to himself!
He picked up the submachine gun on his back, loaded the bullets, then held it flat in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone should change their pistols. When the Japanese are approaching, just use their pistols to greet them. Let's see if the Japanese's saber is more powerful."
, the bullets we fired are still more powerful!"
Pistols and submachine guns are Zhou Wu’s secret weapons!
When fighting against the Japanese without any advantage, the remaining dozens of soldiers in the cavalry battalion can be wiped out by sheer consumption!
At this time, Zhou Wu thought of infantry hand-to-hand combat, especially the hand-to-hand combat between the guard company and the reconnaissance company!
Because the troops are equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, these automatic weapons alone can cause a lot of damage to the Japanese on the battlefield!
The Japanese are very good at bayonet fighting. On the Chinese battlefield, it is difficult to encounter an opponent one on one or even one on two!
But in front of the pistols equipped by the guard company, no matter how good the little devil is in stabbing, he can't beat a bullet!
Infantrymen can use pistols to catch the enemy off guard before hand-to-hand combat, severely injuring or directly defeating the opponent!
Can cavalry do the same?
Staying outside the city for two days, Zhou Wu has been thinking about how to use the more than 40 cavalry battalions to fight or hold back the two remaining Japanese cavalry squadrons in Lingqiu City to reduce the pressure on the infantry!
The infantry's extensive use of pistols and other automatic firepower before hand-to-hand combat inspired him a lot!
He borrowed all the pistols equipped by the artillery battalion and those captured on the battlefield, ensuring that every remaining soldier in the cavalry battalion had a pistol and three magazines!
The dozen soldiers around Zhou Wu are also veterans, the essence of the cavalry battalion!
After hearing the order, everyone decisively took out their pistols, loaded the bullets, and then stared straight ahead without blinking!
When they were fifty meters apart, the two cavalrymen spread out at the same time, like two walls, approaching quickly and finally colliding with each other!
The difference is that every Japs has a saber, but every cavalry battalion has a pistol!
Except for Zhou Wu, who was holding a submachine gun, the others were either box cannons or bastard boxes!
Lie down on the horse and give the Japanese a fatal blow at the last moment!
"kill……"
Two cavalrymen facing each other at a distance of fifty meters can collide in the blink of an eye!
At this time, a scene that surprised all the Japanese appeared!
The Eighth Route Army did not rush over with all its strength, but kept slowing down before the confrontation!
The dozen or so cavalry that had been deployed continued to disperse!
"The Eighth Route Army is crazy. There is no difference between doing this and committing suicide! Warriors, kill them all with sabers and tell them how the cavalry fights...kill them..."
The second lieutenant raised his saber high and rushed to the front, shouting with excitement on his face!
Thirty meters...twenty meters...
When he could chop off the opponent's head in two seconds, a scene that shocked him appeared again!
A cavalryman in the middle on the opposite side suddenly stood up from his horse, holding a submachine gun in his arms, and aimed it at himself!
Twenty rounds of bullets were all shot out of the gun chamber in more than one second, flying towards him in a fan shape!
The Japanese second lieutenant only saw a tongue of fire spurting out from the muzzle of the gun, and then two bloody holes were drilled out of his chest!
Blood gushes out like a fountain!
He was very unwilling to do so. He gritted his teeth and held on to keep his body from falling. He continued to raise his saber, hoping to kill his opponent before he died!
But God never gave him this chance!
A bullet was emptied in the chest right at the heart, and life was like blood pouring out of a fountain, disappearing quickly!
After only holding on for a second, the right hand holding the saber lost strength!
The moment the saber was released, the whole person got off the horse and was less than five meters away from Zhou Wu!
Twenty rounds of submachine gun bullets flew towards the Japanese in a fan shape. The shooting distance was only twenty meters. You could hit the target with your eyes closed!
In addition to the second lieutenant, the two Japanese soldiers around him were shot together and fell off their horses!
The subordinates who had spread out around Zhou Wu opened fire together!
The range of a pistol is very short, but twenty meters is enough to give the opponent a fatal blow!
Shooting more than a dozen pistols together is equivalent to killing one cavalryman with one pistol!
The gunshot was very short and lasted less than two seconds and ended!
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Japanese cavalrymen in front of them were reduced to a dozen or so lone ownerless horses!
"It's done, our new tactics work!" Zhou Wu shouted excitedly!
Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, a louder roar soon came over!
"Battal Commander, another Japanese cavalry is coming. Listen to the sound of horse hooves, there are almost thirty cavalry, twice as many as ours!" the first company commander reminded, the nerves that had just relaxed became tense again, and his face was full of worry!
"Don't be afraid!" Zhou Wu shouted confidently!
"We can deal with a dozen little devils, and we can still deal with thirty little devils!"
"Everyone, change the bullets and all the pistols with new magazines. Then follow me up to meet you. Listen to my orders before shooting!"
The leader of the team is the Japanese squadron leader, he is very cautious!
When the two sides were still more than a hundred meters away, all the Japanese soldiers held rifles in their hands and spread out with him as the center. While driving their horses forward, they aimed towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves sounded!
"Bang bang bang..."
When the distance was still a hundred meters away, the squadron leader decisively pulled the trigger!
Then put the gun away, insert it into the holster, draw the saber, and prepare to launch the final assault!
The movements are as clean and neat as flowing water!
The Japs are very powerful. When charging on horseback, they hold a gun with one hand and cannot see the opponent. They can only judge the direction of shooting by listening to the sound!
With less than thirty rounds of bullets and a shooting distance of 100 meters, two subordinates were shot on the spot and fell to the ground together with their horses!
"Don't panic, keep your speed, have your pistol ready and follow my orders to fire!" Zhou Wu quickly reminded the men behind him to prevent their morale from being affected due to casualties!
Fifty meters away, the enemy and we can finally see each other clearly!
Compared with just now, the Japanese were even more arrogant, roaring and waving their sabers, as if victory had already been snatched into their hands!
There are too few Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side. Two imperial troops can't even get enough points to kill one of them. There will definitely be no problem in killing them. This is what the Japanese are thinking at this moment!
Zhou Wu saw the Japs' arrogance and was very happy from the bottom of his heart!
The more arrogant they are, the more careless they will be. When faced with the rain of bullets fired from the pistol, they will be caught off guard, and the casualties will definitely be very high!
Even if I have to pay some more price, as long as I can severely injure them, I won't be afraid when we fight again!
"Expand it immediately, and force the Japanese to expand it too. It's best to line up in a row and act as live targets for us!" Zhou Wu ordered with a serious look on his face!
There was excitement in his words, as if he had seen the Japanese beaten to death in rows!
At the moment when the cavalry and the cavalry quickly distanced themselves, Zhou Wu continued to order: "Place the sabers in the most convenient position!"
"When you hear the order, shoot, shoot out the bullets as fast as possible, then throw away the gun for a saber, and go head-to-head with the remaining little devils!"
There were too many Japanese, although Zhou Wu didn't want to fight them face to face with his saber!
But he couldn't guarantee that the pistol could kill them all at once!
If not, head-on confrontation is definitely inevitable!
Therefore, Zhou Wu must be prepared and take all possible accidents into consideration!
"Pa bang bang..."
Submachine gun, pistol, shooting at the same time!
The bullets whizzed towards the Japs, shattering the little Japs' dreams in an instant!
In order to kill the Eighth Route Army cavalry in one battle, when Zhou Wu ordered his men to deploy, the Japanese also followed suit!
The formation was as wide as the cavalry battalion, with two rows in front and back, ensuring that each Eighth Route Army soldier had two people watching him!
Although this is a bit overwhelming, the Japanese squadron leader can't control that much!
The losses of the troops today were heavy enough. He had to find a way to achieve more results while reducing casualties, so that the soldiers who died in battle would deserve their death!
More than thirty Japanese soldiers lined up in two rows to attack from the front. This was exactly what Zhou Wu had dreamed of seeing!
The moment the gunfire rang out, the dozen or so little Japs in the first row didn't even hold on for a second. They were all shot and felled!
Several Japanese soldiers and horses fell to the ground, including the Japanese squadron leader!
This change happened too quickly, and the two sides were so close!
The ghosts in the second row were riding upright on their horses as before, in the standard posture of a cavalry assault!
Facing the bullets flying towards you, before you even move, the bullets have already flown in front of you!
At least six Japs screamed and fell to the ground!
After all the bullets were fired in less than two seconds, although the Japs' offensive slowed down, the remaining nearly ten Japs did not stop attacking!
They want revenge, brandish their sabers and continue to kill!
Zhou Wu reacted the fastest. He dropped his submachine gun, drew out his saber, kicked the horse in the belly with both feet, threw his upper body on the horse's back and faced it!
"Kill...bang..."
Amid the roar, the two sabers collided together, and neither Zhou Wu nor the Japanese second lieutenant in front of him could do anything to the other!
Before he could make a second slash, the war horse had already staggered them away!
The speed of the cavalry battle was very fast. In less than two seconds, the two cavalrymen had already collided, exchanged blows, and then separated!
