"Brothers, it's time to show our strength. Move quickly, I want the Japanese to taste the taste of the sword!" Liu Dazhu roared, and his soldiers also screamed.
In the dark night, this cavalry company cut through the night like a sharp sword and rushed towards their scheduled combat location.
Even in the dark night, the cavalry company was much faster than the Japanese. Not long after the main forces of the two brigades left, screams came from behind.
This made the Japanese soldiers in front shudder. They also heard the heavy sound of horse hooves. The cavalry already had an absolute advantage over the infantry, not to mention those were only wounded soldiers, many of whom were seriously injured and couldn't even move their hands. How could they withstand the cavalry's attack?
"Captain, the wounded we left behind are finished." The Japanese officer showed a very ugly expression. Anyone who is not a fool can guess the outcome of the wounded team.
"Don't worry about them, let's rush forward." The Japanese captain was also very decisive. It would be even more stupid to send people back to rescue them at this time.
Liu Dazhu's cavalry company seemed to be in a deserted place. They divided into two columns and rushed towards the Japanese from both sides. In many cases, they didn't even need to swing their swords hard to kill. They only needed to place the sword in the right position and use the impact of the horses to kill the Japanese easily.
There seemed to be a lot of three or four hundred Japs. Two of them rushed back and forth and basically killed all the wounded Japs. Including the remaining Japanese team, they still became the dead souls of the cavalry company.
Wen San followed closely behind Liu Dazhu, carefully observing the combat methods of this special unit. He had been suppressing the cavalry company before, but he still felt a little unsure.
The Japs' marksmanship is not bad. Will they call them names one by one if the cavalry charges forward? In fact, Wen San's worries were unnecessary. The war horses ran very fast, let alone at night, even in broad daylight, the Japanese might not be able to hit them easily.
If you are far away, you can't hit. When you get close, the swords in the hands of the soldiers are comparable to the scythes of death. As soon as the Japs raised their guns, their heads were chopped off by the swords.
"It seems that the use of cavalry companies should be bolder in the future. Unless the Japanese have strong defenses and use bunkers to maintain a good mentality, they can truly pose a fatal threat to the cavalry companies. In line-of-sight battles, cavalry has an absolute advantage over infantry. Advantage!"
Wen San also concluded that during the battle, the cavalry would definitely suffer some casualties, but they would never be as serious as he imagined. The powerful impact of the cavalry and the killing effect were much more powerful than he expected.
Look at how quickly these hundreds of Japs died? It's really almost as effective as shooting with a heavy machine gun.
"Catch up with the cavalry company and harass the enemy's rear! Don't get entangled with them. After a wave of killings, come back. Our large troops are waiting for them in front." Wen San became more courageous and immediately asked Liu Dazhu to lead his troops. Charge forward.
In such an environment and at such an opportunity, what if there were many Japs? There is no way to stop the cavalry company from charging!
"Brothers, that wave just now can only be regarded as an appetizer. Now the main course has been served on the table. It's time to sacrifice the sword with the devil's head!" Liu Dazhu roared, leading a group of soldiers to charge forward.
The god of death's sickle was raised again, and he covered up the enemy's team from behind. The galloping war horses are like the blood rushing in the bodies of the soldiers, surging!
The war horses passed by as fast as the wind, and the insects in the countryside quickly closed their mouths, for fear of following in the footsteps of the Japanese.
With the speed of a cavalry company, it quickly bit the enemy's rear. He swung his sharp sword and slashed at him. The Japanese kept falling down, and were finally dragged down to hell by a bull-headed horse-faced man.
"Captain, the Chinese cavalry are too fierce. We can't spread out our formation and can't stop their attack." Many Japanese commanders almost cried. It's not that they don't know how to resist the cavalry charge, but that they can't form an effective counterattack at night.
Under normal circumstances, if the enemy has cavalry to charge forward, the best way is to concentrate the troops and conduct concentrated fire suppression. Regardless of whether the enemy can be hit or not, the best way is to form a death zone first. In this way, no matter how fierce the cavalry is, there is a possibility of being killed by focused fire.
If the horse in front falls, it will easily affect the horse behind. Once the cavalry slowed down, the threat it posed suddenly dropped a lot.
But now the Japanese are on the march. It's dark and the roads are not very wide. With many Japanese soldiers crowded into a relatively narrow road, how can they focus their fire? If you shoot randomly, you might just kill your comrades around you.
On the contrary, the cavalry doesn't care so much. The running horses themselves are a great threat to the infantry. Even without using swords and guns, the impact of the horses alone can kill many infantrymen under the horses' hooves. What's more, those extremely sharp machetes will not show mercy!
Liu Dazhu's cavalry company was like the wind and the remaining clouds, harvesting the lives of the Japanese to their heart's content. These little devils tried their best to move to both sides, or crowded into a pile, hoping to use the bodies of their comrades to block the enemy's powerful attack. The two captains were so anxious that they couldn't come up with any effective method.
After this wave of killing, another two to three hundred Japanese died on the road.
Including the Japanese who had died under the artillery attack, the team of more than 2,000 people was suddenly reduced by about a quarter.
The Japs' eyes are almost bleeding. If this continues, let alone supporting the Japs who were ambushed, they themselves will need support!
In fact, how did they know that the Japanese in the front group were basically surrounded and eliminated by three parties when they were bombarded.
Now they are still rushing forward to deliver the food properly.
Wen San's subordinates are like giant sharks lurking in the darkness, with their mouths wide open, just waiting for these devils to swim past, and then devour them in one bite!
After losing some of their troops, the Japs' actions became faster. The screams of death by the Japanese were like a reminder. The Japanese in front only hated their parents for losing two legs.
The cavalry company was like a ghost in the night. As quickly as it comes, as quickly as it goes!
They strictly carried out Wen San's orders, only killing and wounding the Japanese infantry during their rapid march, and did not get too entangled with the Japanese brigade.
Although the soldiers were all furious, they still followed the order and retreated.
Wen San took stock of the battle damage and found that only a few soldiers were injured, which was not serious.
On the contrary, some of the horses were injured in many places. Wen San felt distressed and immediately asked Liu Dazhu to lead his team to retreat. There is no need for them to participate in the next battle.
