The gap in combat effectiveness between the two cavalry is reflected once they fight!
Before the final fight, Zhou Wu still had more cavalry in his hands!
In less than two seconds, the number of eleven people has dropped sharply to seven!
Nine Japanese people came and killed only one, leaving eight people left!
Zhou Wu's face looked very ugly, and he had thoughts of scolding his mother!
But the battle is not over yet. No matter how angry I feel in my stomach, I can only hold it in, and then I hurriedly ordered: "Replace the pistol with a new magazine immediately, turn around, and prepare for the second assault!"
The pistols and submachine guns were tied to the assembly belt with ropes. Although they were lost just now, they are still there!
The few surviving soldiers immediately started loading bullets, without any hesitation!
The fight just now made them realize the huge gap between themselves and the Japs. Without the secret weapon of the pistol, everyone would have been doomed when they faced more than a dozen Japs!
After completing the U-turn and reloading the pistols with bullets, the tension that enveloped everyone slowly disappeared, and we regained confidence and confidence!
"Battal Commander, the little devils didn't turn around, they are going to run away!" the first company commander suddenly shouted!
Then he added with an eager expression: "How about I bring a few soldiers to kill him?"
"As long as we chase them thirty or forty meters behind them, we can kill them with pistols!"
"You think the mounted rifles equipped by you little devil are all fire sticks!" Zhou Wu scolded angrily!
"Have you forgotten to kill four of us soldiers with rifles when the Japs attacked us just now? This is a bloody lesson! We can't shoot with one hand while the horses are galloping, but it doesn't mean that the Japs can't do it!"
"Don't chase the poor bandits, let them go!"
"A few cavalrymen can only go back and report the news, but they can't threaten us!"
"If they still dare to come here, it won't be too late for us to kill them!"
"Clean the battlefield immediately and take away everything that can be taken away! No one knows how long we will have to fight under the enemy's pursuit. Maybe a pound of horse meat, a war horse, and a bullet can be used at the critical moment.
It can all save lives!”
When Zhou Wu led his men to catch up with Li Hao, the breakout troops had already merged with the cavalry battalion!
Except for the fifty rounds of ammunition and two grenades that were kept, all the other loads were handed over to the artillery battalion. Li Hao's tense nerves finally relaxed!
Nearly two hundred main troops were liberated and ready to participate in the battle at any time.
Even if the little Japanese infantry catch up, he still has the strength to fight back!
The addition of nearly a hundred mules and horses greatly reduced the load of the breakout troops. The dozens of horses captured by the cavalry battalion also provided transportation for the wounded, and the marching speed of the breakout troops immediately accelerated!
At four o'clock in the morning, we successfully entered the mountain before the Japanese army caught up!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army has entered the mountains!" The squadron leader of the Japanese forward troops found Lieutenant Commander Kimura and reported nervously!
"Bagya Road, after chasing for so long, we are still one step too late!" Kimura Nakasa yelled!
Then his face slowly turned pale, and he shouted with a look of despair: "This mountain is too big. If the garrison group goes into it, it will be like a fish into the sea. It will definitely be difficult to catch them! With our small force, we will rush in rashly."
Not only will Shan not be able to catch them, he will also be killed by the Eighth Route Army!"
"We lost, we completely lost this battle!"
"Immediately send a telegram to the military headquarters to report the situation here and ask the military headquarters to make a decision whether we should continue to pursue the mountain!"
"Also, I did not command the troops to block the Eighth Route Army's breakout troops. I have an unshirkable responsibility for this battle, so I am no longer suitable to be the frontline commander. Please ask the military department to appoint a new commander!"
Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters, from last night to now, the military commander has been furious at the headquarters more than once!
In just one day, almost everyone in the headquarters was scolded by him!
Everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that they would offend the commander again and cause unreasonable disaster!
"Sir, urgent call from Lingqiu!"
The chief of staff broke the solemn atmosphere at the headquarters, walked to the army commander and reported carefully!
Today the military headquarters received bad news one after another. The commander himself didn’t even know which one it was!
I took the telegram and glanced at it, and the anger that had just calmed down surged up again!
"Stupid pigs, they are all a bunch of stupid pigs!"
"There are so many troops, but even two to three hundred and eighty Route Army troops are not blocked. The pigs are more powerful than them. The captains of the front lines should all have disembowelments to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"
The Chief of Staff can completely understand the Army Commander’s anger!
Because of the Lingqiu garrison, there are already rumors that the army commander will be replaced!
Although there is no concrete evidence yet, it is groundless!
If the troops can kill the culprit of the Lingqiu Guard Group and minimize the negative impact of this incident on the empire, this rumor will definitely disappear in the end!
If the military commander fails to do this, then this rumor will definitely become more and more popular and eventually become a fact!
If the army commander is replaced, he, the chief of staff, will not end well!
Therefore, whether it is for your own future or to fulfill your responsibilities as chief of staff, you must assist the chief of staff to kill the garrison that has broken through!
At the risk of becoming the target of the commander's venting, the chief of staff bite the bullet and reminded: "Sir, the breakout force of the garrison has entered the mountain. The leader of the garrison, Li Hao, and the imperial army captured by them must be among the breakout force.
!”
"As long as we find them and kill them, there will be room for easing the situation!"
The army commander became murderous, stared at the chief of staff and shouted: "Then why are you still standing there?"
"Send a telegram to the frontline troops immediately, and the troops will immediately go into the mountains to surround and annihilate them!"
"There are not dozens of them, but hundreds of them. Even if they go into the mountains and into the woods, they will leave some traces!"
"Tell Lieutenant Colonel Kimura that he is still the commander-in-chief. If we kill the breakout troops of the garrison, I will forget their past mistakes and promote him to captain of the Colonel-General's Wing!"
"If he can't do it, he doesn't need to apologize, he can directly apologize to the emperor!"
"Not only him, the commander-in-chief, but all the captains on the front line must apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"
The army commander was furious and gave the troops a death order!
Capture the breakout troops of the garrison and everyone will be promoted!
If you can’t take it, everyone will be buried with you!
When this telegram is sent to the front line, those captains will definitely capture the garrison at all costs!
After the troops successfully entered the mountain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army who have been in the woods for a long time, the woods are the place that can bring them the most sense of security!
But the good mood didn't last long before it was broken by Xiao Yuan who caught up with him!
"Captain, the little Japs have entered the mountains. There are nearly two thousand people, chasing us like crazy!"
Li Hao didn’t have much worry on his face!
The mountains at his feet not only brought him a sense of security, but also gave him confidence!
He replied with a heroic look: "I'm not afraid!"
"The mountains are the territory of our Eighth Route Army. Their rash intrusion is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. Not only do we not have to be afraid of them, but we also need to take the opportunity to kill more Japs and avenge their comrades who died in Lingqiu so that they can rest in peace!"
Xiao Yuan hesitated and reminded: "Captain, I feel this time is different!"
"The Japs who entered the mountain were like crazy. Faced with our harassment and obstruction, they not only did not stop, but pursued us more and more fiercely. They did not take the casualties after entering the mountain into consideration at all, and they pursued us with a desperate attitude.
!”
Li Hao was not frightened, but responded excitedly: "No! I don't think this is a bad thing!"
"This is Linzi, the main battlefield of our Eighth Route Army! In my opinion, the crazier they are, the more people will die in the end!"
"So not only do we not have to worry, but we should be happy!"
"Do you know what Datong is where we fight the most?"
"Let me tell you, it's a coal mine! More mines means more mines, and the absentees who are mining in those mines are all anti-Japanese soldiers who were captured by the Japs on the battlefield!"
"When we arrive in Datong, we can capture two mines at random, and the rescued absentees will be enough to restore our garrison to full strength!"
"At that time, our garrison will have a problem: too many people and few guns!"
"The little devil is indeed the captain of our logistics and transportation team. He must have known that we were short of ammunition and sent someone to deliver it right away!"
"The hundred mules and horses brought by the artillery battalion and the horses captured by the cavalry battalion are still half empty!"
"Xiao Yuan, go back and tell the reconnaissance company commander Chen Wei that I want you to fill all the free mules and horses with weapons and ammunition!"
"The guard company will be under your command from now on. Start taking action now! Make sure that the Japanese will not enter the mountain more than 20 kilometers in one day tomorrow!"
"The main force will continue to move forward with me. We will stop and rest after walking another thirty kilometers!"
"In order to avoid the enemy's aerial attacks, we rested during the day to conserve our strength!"
"Chief of Staff, don't be idle. Go to the artillery camp to recruit people. All the gunners will be left behind to control all the artillery we carry with the army!"
"Draw out all the ammunition players and replenish the main force!"
"There are nearly 300 people in the artillery battalion. We will draw out all we can to ensure that each main battalion has 120 people ready to fight at any time!"
"Boom boom..."
An explosion suddenly sounded in the middle of the Japanese chasing troops. Four Japanese soldiers were instantly blown over, killing two and injuring two!
But this casualty did not affect the marching speed of the Japs. The Japs behind them passed them without any hesitation and continued to pursue forward!
"Captain, the devil is crazy!"
The commando who was squatting next to Xiao Yuan clearly saw this scene, opened his mouth, and shouted with shock on his face!
"That's crazy!" Xiao Yuan replied with a sneer!
"I don't know what kind of stimulation I got, but I'm totally desperate! But the leader is right, this is a forest. The crazier the devils are, the more people will die in the end!"
"Contact the security company and the reconnaissance company. Since the Japanese are not afraid of death, we will use more booby traps to blow him up and turn him upside down!"
"By the way, I'm reporting to the leader that we need grenades that can be used to lay booby traps. The more the better!"
"I don't feel sad for the little Japs who have killed and injured dozens of people. I really want to see if the Japs can still rush forward as recklessly as they are now after hundreds of people have been killed and injured!"
