Li Qiufan looked at the situation with complicated eyes, then gritted his teeth and said: "Musheng, I need you to lead the cavalry battalion to harass the incoming Japanese and try to delay as much time as possible."
This is a life-or-death mission. If a battalion of troops is to stop two Japanese regiments, it will be a dead end.
Their only advantage is that they have horses, and they can rely on mobility to delay for a while.
"Haha, don't worry, Captain, I, Wang Musheng, have been with you since Cangyun Village. You know who I am, so I'm going!"
Wang Musheng smiled at Li Qiufan and did not refuse. He knew that this was a fatal mission, but he had no hesitation.
Looking at Wang Musheng's leaving figure, Li Qiufan's eyes turned red and he turned around and roared: "Order! Everyone in the reconnaissance camp supports the frontal position!"
"Everyone in the artillery battalion has to take the position with guns for me. Even if you don't have a gun, you have to take stones!"
"There is only one purpose! Defeat the Japanese in front and evacuate the battlefield as soon as possible!"
"implement!"
The last two men, Li Qiufan, shouted so loudly that they shed a tear from the corner of their eyes, and then led everyone towards the front position.
"Blow the charge horn for me!"
As soon as he arrived at the position, Li Qiufan directly pulled over the bugler.
"Captain, the Japanese are attacking now."
The bugler was a little confused. We shouldn't defend when the Japanese attack. Why did he blow the charge horn?
"If I tell you to do it, do it! Hurry up!"
As he spoke, Li Qiufan drew out the sword from his back and looked indifferently at the battlefield in front of him.
After being yelled at by Li Qiufan, the bugler did not dare to delay and blew the charge horn directly.
Hearing the sudden sound of the charge horn, although the soldiers were a little confused, they still rushed towards the Japanese.
For a time, the offense and defense on the battlefield were reversed, and the 22nd Regiment was attacking the Japanese brigade.
"kill!"
Li Qiufan rushed forward with a machete in his hand, followed closely by the guard company around him.
The entire battlefield was now in chaos, and the Japanese were stunned by the sudden charge of the 22nd Regiment.
The Japanese who had been desperate for their lives just now felt a little sober after being charged by the 22nd regiment, and they were actually a little scared.
Li Qiufan held a broadsword and kept slashing at the Japanese. Under his leadership, the entire 22nd Regiment became more and more crazy, and everyone became red-blooded.
The leader of the Japs Brigade became a little timid when he saw this, and quickly started to retreat with a few Japs.
Naturally, his run was seen by other Japs, which directly caused a chain reaction. All the Japs began to escape from the battlefield.
Seeing the Japanese escaping, the soldiers of the 22nd Regiment hurriedly chased after them, but Li Qiufan came to his senses.
"Corpser, blow the rally call for me immediately, hurry up!"
This time the bugler did not hesitate and blew the assembly horn directly according to Li Qiufan's wishes.
When the soldiers heard the assembly call, they thought they heard it wrong. There was no one who blew the assembly call while fighting.
But following the sound, it turned out that the trumpeter was playing the assembly horn hard, and the regiment leader Li Qiufan was standing next to him.
Seeing that it was true, everyone stopped chasing the Japanese and started to retreat.
"All battalions will assemble immediately and retreat to retreat route No. 1!"
"Communicator, go notify the 4th and 5th Battalions to retreat as well, quickly!"
"How about, you take the reconnaissance battalion to help the artillery battalion move the artillery, go quickly!"
After giving several orders in succession, Li Qiufan began to lead everyone to retreat. On the way, he glanced at Route 2 with a sad look in his eyes.
On the other side, Wang Musheng left with the cavalry battalion and then galloped in the direction of the Japanese. Within a few minutes, he saw the Japanese who were marching in a hurry.
"Brothers, we are going to stop the Japs on the other side, are you afraid?"
Wang Musheng pointed at the Japs opposite and asked the soldiers in the cavalry battalion.
"Don't be afraid!"
All the soldiers said in unison, with an aura of looking forward to death.
"Okay! As expected of my Wang Musheng's soldiers, you are quite a man!"
"Now I order, companies one and two to contain the Japanese from the front, companies three, four and five to follow me around to the enemy's rear and raid the Japanese's baggage!"
Wang Musheng gave orders to the five company commanders, and then led three companies to circle behind the Japanese.
After Wang Musheng left, the two companies staying on the front rushed directly to a position 500 meters away from the Japanese and started shooting.
Seeing the sudden appearance of more than two hundred cavalry, the Japs' vanguard immediately stopped and began to organize a counterattack.
Gunshots continued to sound. The first company and the second company saw the Japanese taking a counterattack posture and immediately led their men to retreat.
Because they were on horseback, the Japanese counterattack only hit a dozen soldiers, and the others could not catch up and could only watch them leave.
During the fighting ahead, Wang Musheng had already led people around to the rear of the Japanese.
Behind the Japs, horses were dragging artillery pieces, and there was a large group of Japs guarding them.
Without hesitation, Wang Musheng led three companies of soldiers and directly launched an attack on the Japanese.
More than three hundred people rode on horseback and shot, killing many Japanese soldiers. Upon seeing this, the Japanese soldiers immediately launched a counterattack.
Wang Musheng also followed the same routine as the other two companies. He retreated when the Japanese counterattacked, and only a few soldiers were killed.
Going back and forth like this, the enemy's marching speed was slowed down. The two enemy regiments were not equipped with cavalry, so they could only passively take the beating.
However, there were too many soldiers to hold back the Japs. Wang Musheng and others would sacrifice some soldiers after each attack, and they soon suffered heavy casualties.
More than half an hour later, there were only a dozen soldiers left beside Wang Musheng. Looking at the bodies of the brothers who had died along the way, they were filled with grief and their eyes were red.
"Brothers, Captain and the others should have successfully retreated. Do you want to leave?"
There had been no gunfire from the 22nd Regiment for several minutes. Wang Musheng guessed that Li Qiufan should have started to retreat with the 22nd Regiment, but he didn't want to leave.
"Batalion Commander, I don't want to leave."
A soldier looked at the corpses on the road and had a death wish in his heart.
"Me too."
"Me too,"
"I also…."
“………….”
The remaining dozen people didn't want to leave. Looking at the corpses of more than 300 brothers lying on the road, they didn't want to live alone.
"Haha, good brother, let's go find them. I guess they are waiting impatiently!"
Wang Musheng looked at the crowd and smiled, then led them towards the Japanese.
They started shooting at the same position of 500 meters, but this time they did not look back, but continued to sprint, pulled the bolt of the rifle in their hands, loaded the bullet, and then continued shooting.
When the Japanese saw that the dozen or so people were no longer escaping, they immediately picked up their guns and started to fight back.
By the time Wang Musheng rushed to the Japanese, there were only three people left around him.
They threw away their rifles, drew their sabers from their waists, and rushed into the Japanese ranks without hesitation.
After cutting down seven or eight Japanese soldiers in succession, Wang Musheng and the last three warriors also fell off their horses.
Looking at his brother lying next to him, Wang Musheng smiled and closed his eyes.
