The little devil's crooked machine gun is recognized as the slowest in loading.
There is no magazine, so I can only press it in piece by piece with a 5-round bridge clip. This greatly increases reloading time.
But at this critical moment, the machine gunners finished reloading, and one by one they stood up and fired wildly at the charging little Japanese cavalry.
At this time, they no longer care whether they are humans or horses. Each of them has only one belief, which is to shoot out all the bullets in the machine gun in the shortest possible time.
Almost all the Japanese and war horses who rushed to the front fell down.
But at the same time, there were also cavalrymen of the little devils who rode over the corpses of their own people and rushed over directly.
Those little devils were holding sabers, and when they rushed through the machine gunner position, a lot of blood spurted out.
That was the blood of the soldiers. Some of their arms were cut off directly, and some of their chests were cut open. Some soldiers were even brutally beheaded by the little devils.
The soldiers killed and wounded more than thirty people in an instant. But at the same time, the machine gunners, sharpshooters, artillery, etc. who fought desperately also caused a lot of damage to the little Japanese.
After this round of charge, there were less than fifty little Japs still sitting on their horses, and less than a hundred Japs survived.
The machine gunners divided into two groups and continued to shoot the charging Japanese. After losing their horses, these little devils also rushed over with the cavalry, but they were not as fast as the cavalry, so some machine gunners were dealing with them. The other machine gunners were aiming at the other Japanese who were rushing over and turning their horses' heads.
Amidst the ferocious sound of machine guns, the little Japanese cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, and those who charged at the machine gunners on foot were all beaten to a pulp.
The soldiers held their guns and fired head-on at the Japs. The Japs were no match at all.
This is the complete fire suppression of the supervision team. No small army of Japanese soldiers can match it.
Moreover, the tactics of the Dragon Boat Festival were appropriate. Otherwise, the enemy cavalry would have been hard to fight against. In this battle, the Second and Fourth Battalions would not know how many people would have died.
The speed of the cavalry is too fast. Even if there are more than 500 machine guns, they may not be able to form enough firepower to stop all the opponents.
As long as half of the opponent's cavalry rushes over, the machine gunners and artillerymen will suffer heavy casualties.
But even so, after this battle, the machine gunners and artillerymen also suffered nearly a hundred casualties.
Some of them were hit by the Japs' bullets, while others were injured by the Japs' swords.
The captain of the 18th Cavalry Regiment of the Little Devils saw that one of his men was dead. Instead of continuing the charge, he turned his horse and ran away.
Perhaps he never dreamed that the firepower of the supervision team would be so strong. The total strength of the two battalions is only about 2,340 people. But one fifth of them all use machine guns. How many machine guns does this have in one squad? Anyway, the captain of the 18th Cavalry Regiment cannot be counted.
He turned around and ran away with more than fifty guards, filled with hatred in his heart. He thought to himself: "In five minutes, you Chinese will all die."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the sky suddenly turned dark. He looked up and saw that the billowing smoke had swept in like clouds covering the sun and flew over them.
"how come?"
The captain of the 18th Cavalry Regiment was surprised. He was just about to see what was going on, but he froze, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fell off his horse.
At the same time, Shangguan Zhibiao slowly put away his gun and hit the captain of the Japanese 18th Regiment who was galloping on horseback three hundred meters away. He was somewhat lucky.
Of course, he never imagined that his shot would directly kill the old devil.
Shangguan Zhibiao looked at the thick smoke billowing in the sky and smiled reassuringly. Unexpectedly, Tuanzuo actually used this method to prevent the bombing and surveillance of the Japs.
"Let's go, the little devil's plane won't be able to find us in a short time, haha!"
Shangguan Zhibiao laughed, and then quickly evacuated with his people.
And with the cover of thick smoke, the little Japanese plane could not see anything, and had no idea where to throw the bomb. It could only return without success after wandering around for a long time.
·············
At the same time, fifteen kilometers away, when he heard that the Second Battalion and the Fourth Battalion had successfully escaped, Duanwu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Ping'an on the side even laughed and said: "Brother Duanwu, your move is really effective! This little devil's bomber failed again."
Duanwu also smiled and said: "Thanks to your underground party comrades. If they hadn't set fire to the reeds in the southeast, there wouldn't be such a big smoke, and the old superiors would never be like this. It was easy to get rid of the Japanese."
"Hahaha!"
Ma Pingan laughed again and felt a little proud. Because indeed, a large project like this cannot be accomplished by one or a few people.
This requires simultaneous ignition at multiple locations to create such a large area of thick smoke.
At the same time, when Doihara received the news that the supervision team had disappeared again, and that his 18th Cavalry Regiment had been wiped out, his popularity was so high that he almost spit out blood.
Damn it, are all the supervision teams descended from heaven? Why couldn't he kill the other party no matter what method he came up with?
Moreover, he felt that there was something very wrong with the marching route of the Supervisory Corps. It was in Luoxia Valley an hour ago, but it appeared eight kilometers west of Luoxia Valley an hour later. Could it be that the supervision team can fly?
And why is this marching route so weird? Is this obviously going directly west from Luoxia Valley? Wouldn't that mean we were encountering Honda's troops? So why didn't the Honda brigade discover the supervision team? Are all the Honda brigade’s imperial troops blind?
What's more, the 18th Wing also searched from the west of Luoxia Valley, so why didn't they encounter the supervision team head-on?
"No, no, these are two troops, not one at all. In other words, the supervision team has been split up. Baga, these idiots have missed such important information."
Doihara secretly cursed that his men were all a bunch of pigs.
But at the same time, he had a new plan. Because the supervision team is separated, then they will definitely be reunited. Based on the time calculation, he roughly circled an area on the map.
"We cannot let the supervision team come together again. I want to separate them completely and annihilate them."
Doihara drew another red line on the map, completely separating the two units of the Supervisory Corps. And in order for this plan to succeed, Doihara set his sights on Li Yunlong's tribe who was about to break out of the encirclement.
He had ignored this unit before, because in his opinion, the lost weapons and equipment could be regained sooner or later.
But now it's different. He needs a bait to attract the disappearing supervision team on the east side of Luoxia Valley to the Wuhu area, while the other team will be handed over to his 28th Brigade for encirclement and suppression! .
