There are nine mortars beside the captain. As long as they react quickly enough and fire while the two sides are fighting, they can fire ninety shells in one minute.
Even if one shell only kills one Eighth Route Cavalry, the sum of these shells can kill a cavalry company.
Her subordinates also lived up to her high expectations.
After receiving the order, he began to assemble the mortar, adjust the firing elements, and fuse the shells.
But the captain ignored one problem.
Cavalry kills people much faster than infantry, especially when cavalry is against infantry.
A quick attack can kill your opponent completely.
There are more than 300 cavalrymen on the battlefield, and there are only more than 100 people left in the second squadron. On average, only two cavalrymen can share one opponent.
The rhythm of the battle can be imagined.
"kill……"
After many cavalry soldiers killed a Japs, they were just about to find the next target for assault, but there was no body of the Japs around.
The commander of the cavalry battalion already knew about the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.
He decisively gave up the idea of cleaning the battlefield, took back his saber and ordered loudly: "Retreat..."
"Japanese reinforcements are coming, and they are equipped with mortars."
"We must not let these mortars target us..."
"Disperse the retreat in company units and transfer directly to the brigade headquarters..."
…………
The main force commanded by Li Yunlong also reached a position one kilometer away from the battlefield and was rapidly advancing forward, fearing that the Japanese second group would slip away from him.
As he was walking, he saw several cavalrymen galloping towards him. When he got closer, he realized that they were the cavalry battalion commander.
As soon as Li Yunlong smelled the smell of blood on their bodies, he knew that the cavalry battalion had just finished a battle, and quickly asked: "You just killed an infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers?"
"Report to the brigade commander..." the cavalry battalion commander said with excitement.
"A whole reinforced squadron, more than 200 little Japs, were all wiped out by us."
"After the battle, the Japanese troops were six to seven hundred meters away."
"I saw that they brought a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns, with a total strength of five to six hundred people. I was afraid that the cavalry battalion would suffer a loss if they attacked rashly, so I immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the battlefield and move closer to the main force."
"Well done..." Li Yunlong patted the cavalry battalion commander on the shoulder and praised him.
"Cavalry is most afraid of artillery and heavy machine guns on the battlefield."
"If you want not to suffer a loss, you must avoid these heavy fires and retreat as quickly as possible."
"But at this point, the little devil just hit the muzzle of my gun."
"I haven't had enough killing just now, but they are here. God has been really good to me, Li Yunlong."
"Kill the cavalry battalion back to me immediately and move around the Japanese as a company. They are not allowed to divide their troops."
"The main force, the tank company, are all ready for battle for me."
"The cavalry battalion drove the Japs together, the chariot company made a frontal assault, and the infantry then covered them up. I will eat these little Japs within ten minutes."
…………
The Japanese captain more than a thousand meters away was very angry.
The artillerymen set up their mortars, but the food that had hit the plate actually ran away.
Faced with the Eighth Route Army's division of troops and withdrawal from the battlefield, the captain was very unwilling, but he knew that firing now had no other effect except wasting shells.
Decisively ordered the troops to continue advancing and reinforce the station.
Just after walking four to five hundred meters, the Eighth Route Cavalry who disappeared unexpectedly came back again.
The captain looked happy, feeling that he had a good chance to kill the opponent again.
There are two infantry squadrons beside him, most of the mortar squadrons, and most of the heavy machine gun squadrons. They are all equipped with more than 20 light and heavy machine guns.
If the Eighth Route Army cavalry's next target is themselves, these light and heavy machine guns alone can make them hit their heads and bleed.
He snorted coldly and looked forward to the order: "The troops will be on alert."
"If the next target of the Eighth Route Cavalry's attack is us, the troops will immediately switch to defense and establish a circular position around light and heavy machine guns and mortars."
After giving the order, he stared closely at the cavalry charging towards him.
A heavy machine gun team rushed to his side at the same time.
As long as the captain gives the order, one of the three heavy machine guns on the ground can fire.
Coupled with the five or six light machine guns gathered around them, even if hundreds of cavalry attacked from the front, they would not be able to get close to the second group.
the more you hope, the harder you fall.
When the distance between the two sides was still three to four hundred meters, the Eighth Route Army cavalry suddenly split into two and left the road, charging towards their two wings.
"On Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army cavalry wants to bypass our flank and launch an attack." The captain couldn't help but think highly of the cavalry battalion commander and ordered at the same time.
"The remaining two teams of the heavy machine gun squadron will greet them immediately."
"The fourth squadron is divided into two and immediately prepare to engage the enemy."
"The cavalry rushed three hundred meters away and started to rob. We must not let them get close to us."
"The artillerymen will set up their guns immediately and fire at the Eighth Route Cavalry. There is no need to ask me for instructions."
The captain gave the order, and hundreds of little devils started running quickly like a war machine.
The cavalry battalion has not yet reached the outflank position, and two lines of defense based on heavy machine guns have been deployed.
The muzzle of the black hole pointed straight ahead, waiting for the Eighth Route Cavalry to come over.
"Captain... the Eighth Route Cavalry doesn't seem to be planning to attack us..." Seeing that the cavalry battalion circled back to the flank of the army and showed no intention of launching an attack, the deputy captain made a bold guess.
"Could it be that they want to use this method to block us here and not allow us to return to the reinforcement station." The captain continued to analyze the deputy's words.
Then a look of realization appeared on his face, he patted his head and said.
"That's for sure."
"The wing station is under attack and is in danger."
"The Eighth Route Cavalry must want to buy time for their main force to completely capture our station."
"Nothing can happen to the commander, and the station cannot be lost."
"The troops immediately moved closer to me. The whole army huddled together in a battle formation and continued to return to the reinforcement station."
"As long as the troops gather together and open the way with light and heavy machine guns, the Eighth Route Cavalry moving around will not be able to do anything to us."
…………
Li Yunlong was observing every move of the Japanese army with a telescope a few hundred meters away.
A tank company of nine tanks and armored vehicles blocked the road in a semi-circle.
The light and heavy machine guns equipped by the infantry were placed between tanks, waiting for the Japanese soldiers to hit their guns.
Seeing the Japanese captain continuously gathering troops towards the road, his face suddenly blossomed.
Hundreds of little devils gathered together, one after another, and after the vehicle-mounted heavy machine gun and the light and heavy machine gun fired together, there was almost no need to aim, as long as the bullets were fired, the target would be hit.
In this way, the surprise effect of the first round of firepower will definitely be amazing.
He immediately put down his telescope and ran to a heavy machine gun and ordered the machine gunner: "Get out of the way..."
"I want to operate this heavy machine gun myself."
"I haven't had this much fun killing Japanese for a long time. I must kill enough tonight..."
Crouching behind the machine gun, he pulled the bolt and shouted an order: "Get ready to fight."
"No one can shoot in advance unless I shoot."
