At one o'clock at noon, a group of cavalry entered the territory of Lingqiu, a mighty force, with as many as six to seven hundred cavalry!
A cavalry squadron walked in the front, and more than a hundred war horses roared past the road. Dust flew up, and the road was completely covered in the blink of an eye!
The follow-up cavalry followed closely behind and were enveloped by the dust kicked up by the forward squadron!
Nothing can be seen except the thunderous sound of horse hooves!
Above the cavalry, an airplane flew close to their heads, sometimes swooping and sometimes circling, to ensure that there were no Eighth Route Army activities around the cavalry!
In this case, even if a guerrilla found them, they would only be able to watch them from a distance, with no chance of approaching them for investigation!
"Captain, they are Japs. At least two cavalry brigades seem to be rushing towards Lingqiu City!" A guerrilla reported nervously!
He had just joined the guerrillas more than a month ago. Apart from shooting, he had no other training, let alone going to the battlefield to see the Japs with his own eyes!
Now I see so many Japs at once, and they are all elite cavalry with powerful combat capabilities!
The first reaction of the guerrillas was to be nervous, fearing that they would be discovered by the cavalry, and then a surprise attack would rush in front of them!
If this were the case, the Japanese would not need to use sabers at all. As long as they whizzed over everyone's heads, their horses and horses' hooves would trample everyone into a pulp, leaving no bones left!
Captain needs to be much calmer!
Although one arm was broken, he had been on the battlefield after all and had fought face to face with the little devil!
He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Why are you panicking? We are hiding in the woods. The little devils are cavalry. Even if they find us, they can't rush over!"
All listen to my orders, raise your guns, and aim at the main force of the Japanese cavalry. When they come over, we will shoot together!"
"The Japs are definitely going to reinforce Lingqiu City and will not pay attention to our little fight. If we are lucky, we might be able to kill one or two Japs!"
"Just do it like this. After the fight is over, we will take a shortcut and report to the main force!"
After saying that, the captain had already raised the tortoise box in his hand!
At a shooting distance of 100 meters, the bullets fired from the pistol hit the ground before they even hit the road!
But the captain is still loaded and ready to shoot!
There are ten people in the entire guerrilla group, including himself. Only he has been on the battlefield, and he is the backbone of the entire guerrilla group!
Even if the pistol cannot hit the road, as long as you shoot yourself, the nine guerrillas around you will have the confidence to shoot at the little devil!
"Hit... bang bang..."
The captain ordered decisively, and two gunshots rang in his ears!
"Bang bang bang..."
Stimulated by the sound of gunfire, the nine team members pulled the triggers at the same time regardless of whether they were aiming or not!
Some people are so nervous that they close their eyes and pull the trigger...
"Retreat..." the captain ordered in disappointment!
The reaction of the subordinates was too bad. With such fighting skills, it was okay to shoot behind the kid's back and conduct a sneak attack!
When you get to the battlefield, you will either become a target for the Japs and die in vain, or you will become a deserter. There is no third possibility!
Although disappointed, he was not discouraged!
After all, this is the first time for everyone to face the little devil. Maybe it will be fine once we get used to it more often!
While walking, he ordered: "Xiao Wang, Xiao Zhang, you two take the small road to the main force station. There are telephones and war horses there. Report what we see, and you must be quick!"
"Others, follow me. We will go around to the front of the little devils and continue to sneak attack on them!"
The Japanese cavalry captain received a fatal order: send the heavy mortar squadron into Lingqiu City at all costs!
So when faced with a sneak attack, and it was a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, he led his troops and continued to gallop towards Lingqiu without even looking back!
This reaction undoubtedly increased the confidence of the guerrillas to continue sneak attacks on them!
After three consecutive rounds of sneak attacks, a bullet finally hit the horse!
The stinging pain caused the war horse to fall to the ground with a neighing sound. The Japanese cavalry on its back were caught off guard and fell to the ground together!
The cavalry reacted very quickly, enduring the stinging pain in his body and trying to stand up!
But the war horse carrying mortar parts behind him didn't give him this chance!
The raised hoof of the horse kicked the cavalry hard in the stomach!
The cavalryman who had just half-crouched down from the ground was kicked to the ground again, seriously injured and unable to move!
The war horse behind him was even more ruthless, with horse hooves constantly beating over him, or stepping on him directly!
Soon, the little devil cavalry disappeared!
No one went to rescue this soldier who had no way out, but hundreds of horses rushed past him in less than a minute!
After the flying dust was slowly blown away by the wind, the bodies of the war horses and cavalry fell there alone!
The war horses are okay, because they are big enough, and the following cavalry will basically walk around or jump over them!
The cavalry was not so lucky. He was trampled by the horse's hoofs and had several bloody holes on his body. It was terrible!
The captain didn't expect that the blind cat killed the mouse and actually let himself kill a Japanese cavalry. He immediately shouted: "What are you still doing? Rush over and clean the battlefield!"
"We want weapons, ammunition, armed belts, and intact military uniforms and uniforms. Then we drag the bodies into the mountains and bury them as fertilizer!"
"Drag the war horses back. This is good horse meat. Half of it will be distributed to the villagers. Let the big guys eat meat. Leave some for the main force to send over. We guerrillas will keep the rest to improve our food!"
Li Hao has been thinking hard about the enemy headquarters in front of the garrison for almost a day!
My mind is still in a mess, and I haven’t thought of any solution to the problem!
It is necessary to avoid accidentally injuring civilians without using heavy weapons, and it is also necessary to reduce troop casualties. Li Hao couldn't find any precedent in his memory for such a street fighting method!
"Captain, the guerrillas sent us an urgent message!"
Suddenly, Hong Linfeng rushed in and interrupted Li Hao's thoughts!
"It's reinforcements. The little devil sent troops to reinforce Lingqiu City!"
"Two cavalry brigade captains and more than 600 cavalrymen, under the cover of planes, are marching to Lingqiu in a hurry. They should be arriving soon!"
Li Hao's eyes immediately opened wide with a shocked expression of disbelief!
Lingqiu is now fighting an offensive and defensive battle, and the Japanese army is the defender. The role of the cavalry here can definitely be described as useless!
As long as the little devil commander still has some sense, he will not send cavalry over!
Hong Linfeng had obviously expected this reaction from Li Hao and quickly replied: "I don't believe this is true either!"
"But three guerrilla groups have already seen this cavalry, so there must be nothing wrong!"
"I'm wondering if the little Japs sent cavalry to reinforce Lingqiu and are planning to hit us with a counterattack at the critical moment!"
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "Counterattack? How is this possible?"
"The little devil doesn't have the power of a prophet, so how does he know that they will definitely win this battle!"
"If we lose, these cavalry can only be used as infantry in Lingqiu City and die in vain!"
"No, there must be a conspiracy we don't know about!"
"The cavalry is coming from the northeast, and the special agent battalion happens to be here. I order them to send a company to intercept them, but they must not fight forcefully. Just find out the true identity and strength of this reinforcement force!"
