"The location of the battlefield remains unchanged, let's kill the more than 200 cavalrymen who came to help from the Japanese here!" Li Hao looked at the map and made a decision!
"Battle Commander Liu, including the seizures just now, how many light and heavy machine guns do we have in total?"
Liu Senyun thought for a moment and replied: "There are eleven heavy machine guns, we brought six from Lingqiu, and we just captured five!"
"There should be more than thirty light machine guns. There are no specific statistics. The battlefield is too big and it has not been completely cleaned up!"
"The troops are divided into two!" Li Hao quickly had an idea in his mind, and then began to give orders.
"Separate a company and lead six heavy machine guns along the road to the county defense line three to four hundred meters forward. Find favorable terrain to set up a blocking position to block the escape route of the little Japanese!"
"The remaining five heavy machine guns and all the light machine guns brought by the others are more than just a small pocket for the ambush battle just now. It doesn't need to be too big, just a hundred meters deep!"
"When the Japanese cavalry arrive on the battlefield, they will definitely dismount and explore the battlefield. When they leave their horses and enter their pockets, the ambush troops will open fire!"
"Remember, what the troops want to destroy is the Japanese cavalry, not the war horses!"
"Only when they completely leave the war horses can our light and heavy firepower be unleashed on the little devils!"
"After the ambush troops open fire, the Japanese will definitely choose to retreat!"
"The troops immediately attack to follow us, and together with the Duanhou troops, we block the remaining Japs on the highway!"
"Heavy machine guns are the nemesis of the cavalry. No matter how fast the assault speed is, it is impossible to break through the fire interception of five or six heavy machine guns!
If the remaining Japanese want to survive, there is only one way to escape!"
"Abandon your war horses and use the mountains on both sides of the road to break out!"
"But after being attacked by eleven heavy machine guns and dozens of light machine guns in the ravine, even if the Japanese soldiers gave up their war horses with the few remaining troops, they still wouldn't be able to successfully break through under the noses of the spy camp!"
"What the troops need to do then is to take advantage of their firepower and kill them with bullets!"
"Tap tap tap tap... boom boom..."
The sound of horse hooves came from far away and soon sounded like thunder on the battlefield!
The first thing that came into Li Hao's sight was a cavalry squad!
More than thirty cavalrymen rushed towards the battlefield like the wind, kicking up a lot of dust and going very fast!
Wherever the cavalry went, the roads became dusty!
When it was still nearly a hundred meters away from the battlefield, it suddenly stopped!
Although the man is still riding on the war horse, he has changed to using his legs to control the war horse, and has two hands free to hold the lance in his hand. He spreads out in a battle formation, staring at the surroundings with a vigilant look on his face!
The battlefield was so brutal. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces. You can imagine how strong the smell of blood was inside!
Even though the battlefield was more than a hundred meters away, the Japanese still smelled something strange!
After the squad leader raised his binoculars and glanced at the battlefield, he hesitated for a long time before waving his hand and leading more than thirty cavalrymen to continue advancing toward the battlefield!
But this time they no longer galloped on their horses! Instead, they spread out in a fighting formation and were very cautious about advancing!
When they were still more than thirty meters away from the battlefield, the cavalry team clearly made a commotion!
From this distance, they could already see the battlefield with their naked eyes. They must have been frightened by the brutality of the battlefield!
After the commotion, the cavalry team stopped directly and stared at the surroundings more vigilantly!
The three cavalrymen quickly turned around and rushed towards the main force!
Five minutes later, the sound of horse hooves sounded louder than before, getting closer and closer!
Nearly two hundred cavalrymen galloped on the road. They kicked up more dust and enveloped the road, which could not dissipate for a long time!
The closer we rushed, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the ground beneath our feet began to tremble slightly!
Soon, the two cavalrymen met!
An officer walked out of the team surrounded by guards, raised his binoculars and began to observe the situation ahead!
A few minutes later, almost half of the cavalry jumped off their horses, picked up their rifles, and rushed to the battlefield in groups of several!
The situation on the battlefield was exactly as the regiment leader expected!
Liu Senyun admired Li Hao even more in his heart. He held the box cannon tightly and prepared to give the order to fire!
"Pa bang bang..."
After more than a hundred Japanese soldiers left their horses and entered the battlefield, he decisively pulled the trigger!
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles...shoot with all kinds of weapons!
Hundreds of rounds of bullets flew towards the battlefield from different directions at the same time!
If it were night now, you would definitely be able to see the bullet flight trajectories interweaving a dense network of firepower around more than a hundred Japanese!
However, the results achieved by bullets among the Japs can be clearly seen!
When the gunfire rang out, the cavalry were swept down in pieces like ripe wheat!
Even if one machine gun killed two Japs in an instant, nearly thirty light and heavy machine guns fired together killed more than fifty people!
And there were more than a hundred riflemen and a dozen box guns with power no less powerful than light machine guns shooting at the same time!
The cavalry captain was frightened!
With such fierce machine gun firepower, even if I brought a full cavalry brigade, it wouldn't be enough to kill him!
Subconsciously shouting: "Bagh Ya Road, we have been fooled!"
"The main force of the Eighth Route Army must have come over, otherwise it would be impossible to have such fierce firepower!"
"The attacking troops are finished, we can't die here and the whole army is destroyed!"
"Retreat, everyone retreat immediately, turn around and go back to the county seat!"
The Japs riding on the war horses immediately pulled the reins of the war horses, turned around and kicked the horses in the stomach, urging the war horses to run and leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible!
If the enemy can assemble so many light and heavy machine guns to attack the first squadron, it is possible for the enemy to assemble the same number of light and heavy machine guns to attack itself!
Even if not, after they finish beating the First Squadron, the light and heavy machine guns on both sides of the road that are firing will definitely turn their muzzles and continue shooting at them!
Only by leaving here quickly can you be safe!
The little devil is no longer so agile without his war horse!
He turned around and rushed behind him, hoping to climb onto his horse as soon as possible and then retreat!
But the bullets flying around him didn't give him a chance!
Bullets are chasing them!
Of the more than a hundred Japs, less than thirty managed to climb onto their horses and retreat. Nearly a hundred little Japs fell on the battlefield and did not escape!
The free war horse didn't move either. It stayed there alone, walking aimlessly, not realizing that its master was gone!
Liu Senyun suppressed his inner excitement, put away the box cannon, replaced it with a more convenient 38-inch cover, and ordered decisively!
"Corpser, blow the charge horn..."
"We chased after them, attacked with light and heavy machine guns, blocked the remaining Japs on the road, and wiped them all out!"
"Da da da……"
As soon as the troops rushed down the road, the familiar sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out a few hundred meters away!
Six heavy machine gun fire tongues and seven light machine gun fire tongues fired together to block the road. The bullets were dense like rain, like a steel storm, slamming into the cavalry cavalry charging forward!
"Rumble..."
In the violent collision between metal and flesh, the first dozen cavalrymen didn't have time to make any reaction, and they fell to the ground together with their horses!
The cavalry behind were caught off guard, some hit corpses on the ground, some were hit by bullets, and dozens more fell down!
It was only then that the remaining cavalry stopped and turned their horses' heads one after another, trying to retreat!
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire did not stop, but the attack method was changed, turning concentrated fire strikes into precision strikes!
Just now, in order to stop the fast-attacking cavalry, the troops used the most direct and brutal method, shooting the men first and the horses!
Concentrate light and heavy firepower, no matter the enemy or the war horse, hit them head-on directly, and use bullets to greet them!
Now that the Japs have been stopped, there is no need for everyone to waste the remaining precious war horses!
The light and heavy machine guns stared directly at the cavalry on horseback who wanted to retreat and fired bursts!
Amidst the intermittent gunfire, Japanese soldiers were constantly being killed, leaving ownerless horses wandering aimlessly on the road!
The cavalry captain was completely panicked!
There are interceptions in front and pursuers behind. The enemy is trying to swallow itself whole!
If the opponent is the Chinese army that he has encountered before, the captain will definitely command everyone to forcefully attack and fight the enemy!
But at this moment, he couldn't think of a forced assault!
The opponent is too powerful!
He knew that machine guns were the nemesis of the cavalry, so he placed a dozen light and heavy machine guns in front of him at once!
Add in the wasteland on both sides of the road where horses can race, and the frontal battlefield where cavalry can attack is less than twenty meters!
A machine gun is placed one meter apart, and half of them are more powerful heavy machine guns!
The captain is very self-aware. With just the few cavalry under his command, they will all be killed before they even get in front of them!
At this time, the complex terrain on both sides of the road made the captain's eyes light up, and he thought of a good way to break out!
Seeing more and more soldiers being killed around him, he immediately shouted!
"Everyone should dismount, abandon their war horses, and bring weapons and ammunition to break out from the mountains on both sides of the road!"
"The terrain there is complicated, and we still have a chance to rush out!"
The squadron leader hesitated and reminded: "What about the war horse?"
"Without war horses, the cavalry's combat effectiveness cannot even reach 50% of its original value, and its assault capability is completely gone!"
The captain cursed hurriedly: "Baga! You are a stupid pig!"
"What's the use of being aggressive when your life is gone!"
"Save your life first and return to the county alive!"
"When there are no war horses, the superiors can replenish them, and the troops will be able to form combat effectiveness immediately. If all the soldiers are killed here, even if the superiors replenish new recruits as soon as possible, it will take a long time to form an army!"
"But your words also reminded me!"
"Since these war horses are going to give up, help us one more time before giving up!"
"All troops dismount, then disperse these war horses and let them run as far away as possible!"
"The enemy will definitely want to capture these war horses. Once they run away, the enemy will definitely divide their troops to encircle them, and our pressure to break out will be much less!"
"Get started now!"
"The enemies behind are coming soon. We must break out before they complete the encirclement of us. This is our last chance!"
