"Company commander, we won the battle..." The instructor of the fourth company hurried over, holding a crooked light machine gun that had just been captured.
"A cavalry squadron, more than a hundred cavalry, was completely killed by us in a few minutes. We haven't fought such a neat battle for a long time..."
Company Commander Yi Fei didn't answer. He looked at the corpses of the killed cavalry beside him. He was even more excited than the instructor because of the wandering horses that had lost their owners.
But he did not forget the current situation of the Fourth Company.
Although the army won the battle, it also lost more than one platoon in the air raid.
The key is that the cavalry squadron is followed by a Japanese soldier to strengthen the infantry squadron.
The cavalry can attack and kill them at close range, but the infantry cannot.
They have mortars, heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. They can advance to attack and retreat to defend.
If the two sides really meet here and fight a tough battle face to face, they will not even have a 40% chance of winning in four consecutive games.
Immediately order: "The troops will clean up the battlefield immediately."
"One platoon was left to clean the battlefield, and all weapons, ammunition, and moving horses were sent to the back of the hillside to be looked after by the wounded."
"Other troops can go up the hillside and establish blocking positions."
"The next thing we face is the Japanese reinforced squadron. The enemy is equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns. The blocking pressure is much greater than that of cavalry. We must build some simple positions, otherwise the soldiers will suffer too many casualties."
After speaking, he glanced behind him and said, "When will the cavalry company arrive?"
"The key to whether we can gather together to annihilate the Japanese and strengthen the squadron lies with them."
"We blocked them from the front, and they attacked from behind."
"As long as we kill the Japanese mortar squad and the heavy machine gun squad and catch them off guard, the remaining more than a hundred infantrymen will be a piece of fat for us to eat as we please."
Yi Fei returned to the top of the hillside and started digging bunkers and stacking sandbags.
The Fourth Company has limited troops. With more strength, one more individual bunker can be dug before the Japanese arrive.
"Company commander, the little Japs are coming." A cry of surprise quickly sounded at the top of the slope.
More than two hundred little Japs, and the seven or eight Japs cavalry who had just escaped, were rushing towards the hillside along the road.
More than fifty infantrymen took the lead, followed by the mortar squad and the heavy machine gun squad. They stopped two to three hundred meters in front of the hillside and began to set up the artillery and set up the heavy machine gun positions in an orderly manner. They did not suffer at all because the cavalry squadron was severely damaged. Into chaos.
"The Kwantung Army is worthy of being the elite among the elite. The positions of the heavy machine guns and mortars are very clever. If they open fire, they can completely suppress us on the top of the slope, making it difficult for us to retreat." Yi Fei analyzed with a stern face.
"They came here with the intention of catching us all in one fell swoop."
"Let comrades prepare for a deadly battle and be sure to pay attention to artillery fire."
"You must move position within three seconds at most after the machine gun fires. You must not be targeted by the Japanese heavy machine guns and grenade launchers."
"The enemy has the firepower advantage. Once we lose the machine gun cover, we will not be able to stop their attack."
After speaking, he glanced behind him, and at the same time ordered the correspondent beside him: "Go and pick up the cavalry company."
"Let them rush to the battlefield and then backtrack to the Japanese side, and raid their artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions."
"First pull out the tiger's teeth, then eat the meat."
Little did they know that the cavalry company had already reached around the battlefield. In order to avoid exposing the target and alerting the Japanese, they did not show their heads.
"Boom boom boom..."
The battle started quickly, and the four mortars brought by the Japanese were tilting their shells towards the top of the hillside as if they were free.
The top of the small slope was soon shrouded in gunpowder smoke, and from time to time one or two soldiers were blown away by artillery fire, which made the squadron leader of the Little Devil nod his head repeatedly.
Three minutes later, before the Japanese artillery fire stopped, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers headed towards the top of the hillside.
Four heavy machine guns joined the battle at the same time, suppressing the surviving Eighth Route Army troops on the top of the slope with a hail of bullets, and doing their best to cover the attacking troops and prevent them from being intercepted by fire.
The Japanese squadron leader watched with a smile on his face as the attacking troops approached the top of the slope, and seemed to have secured victory.
The reality is indeed similar to what he imagined: after being baptized by artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army on the top of the slope seemed to have been bombed. Except for sporadic rifle fire, not a single machine gun appeared.
"Rumble..."
At the critical moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind him.
At first, the squadron leader thought that other pursuers had encountered him, so he didn't pay much attention.
The Eighth Route Army dispatched six reinforced companies to return to Chenjiazhuang, and Lieutenant General Sakuragi sent six cavalry squadrons one-on-one to pursue.
The battlefield is so big, it is normal for the two pursuers to encounter each other.
But this idea was quickly shattered by the remaining commander of the cavalry squadron.
"Baga, we were fooled..."
"Squadron leader... the cavalry behind us are not our own, they are the Eighth Route Army..."
"Nani..." The squadron leader was frightened, and the smile on his face froze on the spot, and he quickly ordered.
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and hold them back."
"The third team immediately reinforced the artillery position, established a defensive line, and blocked the Eighth Route Army cavalry..."
"Quickly..."
Cao Chang, the cavalryman, was confused.
There were only eight cavalry left in the entire cavalry squadron. The captain of the infantry squadron in front of him still let them go to the battlefield, but the opponent had more than a hundred cavalry. It was clear that he wanted them to die.
But military orders cannot be violated, and the commander's orders must be carried out, even if they are asked to die.
Although he felt very unwilling, he still led his seven subordinates and charged forward.
At this time, the cavalry company had increased its assault speed to the extreme, and was still more than 100 meters away from the Japanese artillery position and heavy machine gun position.
It can be killed in fifteen seconds at most.
The Japanese squadron leader secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that his cavalry and the third team could stop them.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
The cavalry company suddenly split into three.
A cavalry platoon went straight to the artillery position, a cavalry platoon raided the heavy machine gun position, and a cavalry platoon faced eight Japanese cavalry.
"Baga, the heavy machine gun position is also in danger..." The Japanese squadron leader responded immediately.
"The heavy machine gun will turn around immediately and block the cavalry. Quickly..."
"The offensive troops immediately retreated, relying on heavy machine gun positions and artillery positions to establish a defense line. They first repelled the cavalry attack, and then attacked the Eighth Route Army's returning reinforcements.
"Where did the operator go?"
"Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters. Our unit was attacked by the Eighth Route Army cavalry and requested aviation support."
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of horse rifle fire soon resounded across the battlefield.
More than 30 rifles of the Eighth Route Army cavalry company faced with eight rifles of the Japanese cavalry squadron, four against one...
Before the two sides came into contact, six Japanese cavalrymen fell, while only two people from the Eighth Route Army cavalry platoon fell.
Not much to say about the next battle.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the two Japanese cavalrymen were attacked by several sabers. They could not avoid this one but the other.
In the blink of an eye, the only two remaining cavalrymen in the cavalry squadron were hacked to death on horseback.
The moment the cavalry confrontation ended, the cavalry platoon attacking the artillery position also started firing.
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
