The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone.
On the alluvial plain on the south bank of the Yellow River, a cavalry group stood solemnly. The leader was a northeastern man with a saber on his waist and a Mauser pistol on his waist.
The wind gently blew his beard, but Wang Yongcheng's body remained motionless.
"Captain Wang! Commander Wang!" A messenger ran over, stood up in front of Wang Yongcheng and saluted, and then said: "Report to Battalion Commander Wang, the regimental commander issued an urgent order to ask the entire cavalry battalion to attack and do not allow the Japanese troops to attack." One person escaped!"
Wang Yongcheng pointed the riding crop in his hand slightly to his head, which was regarded as a military salute: "The cavalry battalion has received the order! Report back to the regiment, no one in the cavalry battalion will escape from the battlefield!"
"Yes! Sir!" the ordering soldier responded.
After slightly nodding to the messenger, Wang Yongcheng raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly: "Cavalry battalion!! Attack!!!"
At Wang Yongcheng's order, the more than 300 cavalrymen of the First Regiment Cavalry Battalion were like an unsheathed sword, already showing its edge.
This can be regarded as the first real cavalry battle since the cavalry battalion was formed.
In Wang Yongcheng's opinion, this is most likely the first real cavalry battle of the cavalry battalion, and also the last time - because the regiment leader once said that the cavalry battalion will be reformed!
After the reform, although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion will increase significantly, it is no longer a real cavalry in the traditional sense.
Instead, an infantry firepower reinforcement battalion mounted on horses!
The east wind blows, the war drums beat, and an encirclement operation against the Japanese troops led by Shimamori Akisaku has begun!
Shimamori Akisaku retreated, his short and stocky body running extremely fast on the ground. To them, this battle was simply a trap carefully laid out by the enemy, and then waiting for them all to get into it. .
If you don’t run now, you really won’t be able to run!
Shimamori Akisaku was very smart. He took the initiative to lead the troops to the east direction, and also ordered more than fifty troops to move west to break out.
Shimamori Akisaku is betting that their enemy does not have a cavalry unit!
If there were no cavalry troops, there would still be a high probability of a successful breakout.
However, this is destined to be a failed game for no other reason than the first regiment has cavalry!
Can two-legged infantry outrun four-legged cavalry?
"Run! Run!!" Akira Shimori shouted in Japanese. His legs seemed to have accelerated infinitely. He ran very fast, as fast as Usain Bolt...
Ahem, ahem, exaggeration here...
However, not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a cavalry appeared behind them like a ghost!
The distance is getting closer!
The Japanese soldiers running at the back already knew that they probably couldn't escape, so about half of the Japanese soldiers stayed and pointed their guns at the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion that were galloping towards them.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
…
Clear gunshots rang out, and many officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the Zhiyi Regiment fell down in response!
I have to admit that the little devil's marksmanship is quite accurate.
The current casualties were naturally temporary. The next second, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion dispersed. They took out their rifles and started shooting at the twenty or so Japanese soldiers in front of them.
The formation of the Japanese army was immediately reduced by half!
The National Army cavalry team is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in front of them have drawn their swords!
After a while, these Japanese troops were completely killed and injured!
After looking back at the fighting situation at the rear and realizing that all his troops had been lost, Shimamori Akisaku felt cruel and turned around to fight to the death with the cavalry troops of the Zhiyi Regiment.
…
The camera turned to Yangzhuang again. At this time, just when Shimori Akisaku was about to fight to the death with the cavalry troops of the Zhiyi Regiment, Yangzhuang's artillery fire had stopped.
At this time, Yangzhuang was a scorched earth, all the houses had collapsed, and only some broken walls were left burning. Most of the Japanese soldiers who entered the village had been bombed to death, leaving only a few lucky wounded Japanese soldiers lingering there.
Looking at the scene in front of him coldly, Zhang Tianhai waved back, and Han Xingle's fourth battalion troops and the engineer company directly under the regiment came up together with the spy company.
This is not only to deal with the wounded soldiers of the Japanese army, but also to rescue the brothers who are buried in underground artillery defense fortifications.
Only when these things are resolved can this battle be considered successfully completed.
As for the artillery battalion, they had already started to pack up and run away at this time, because Zhao Chengge received an order to conduct a high-intensity artillery bombardment of Yangzhuang for five minutes.
After five minutes, no matter what, he had to run away.
Regarding the battle at Yangzhuang, Zhang Tianhai was not stingy and directly approved 360 rounds of artillery shells for the artillery battalion to give them a good fight.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
What puzzled the surviving Japanese troops was how could these Chinese troops have such courage to bomb even their own people, and do so mercilessly.
It's a pity that they will never have the chance to learn because these Chinese army soldiers are already doing last-ditch attacks on them.
In Zhang Tianhai's view, these Japanese troops were all cruel. For him, who had experienced the battle to defend Nanjing, there was no such thing as preferential treatment for prisoners.
Anyway, under the command of Zhang Tianhai, his troops will never need prisoners unless it is for political needs!
…
The camera turns to the Yellow River and the time goes back to ten minutes ago.
At this time, the river-crossing troops of the 28th Brigade, in addition to the 1st Brigade of the 15th Brigade, had already crossed the Yellow River, the 2nd Brigade and the 3rd Brigade also came over.
"Yoshi, when the entire brigade has passed, it's time for us to show off our power..." Major General Takashi Sakai nodded with great satisfaction.
However, before Takashi Sakai finished speaking, there was a strong explosion on the south bank of the Yellow River!
According to Sakai Takashi's many years of military experience, it can be judged that this is the explosion of artillery shells after the artillery unit fired!
If Takashi Sakai remembers correctly, that was the direction in which the First Battalion of the 15th Regiment was pursuing the Chinese army - except that the First Battalion would be ambushed by the Chinese army, there was no other possibility!
Moreover, the unit that ambushed the First Brigade was definitely a well-equipped and well-trained army!
Listening to the fierce sound of artillery, Sakai Takashi's expression became a little miserable. He murmured: "The enemy's artillery has at least ten or more. According to the configuration of the China Army, over there, at least There is a division of the China Army!"
He knew very well what this result meant. Apart from the complete annihilation of the First Brigade, there was no other result that was more likely to happen.
Thinking of the possibility of being wiped out by others in the first battle across the river, Takashi Sakai felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly alive.
This is not a matter of defeat, the key is the first battle!
If this was the outcome of the first battle, how would he lose face? How can the 28th Brigade maintain its prestigious reputation?
Thinking of this, Takashi Sakai's fists clenched slightly!
…
