Lan Feng City has ceased to be as turbulent as before and has returned to peace.
Just three minutes after the silence returned, Wang Ziqing's cavalry battalion finally arrived.
The cavalry battalion was so slow, let alone the infantry unit of the special agent company, it simply failed to catch up.
That is to say, Liu Houming, the commander of the special agent company, only had one horse, so he could keep up with the large army.
"Liu Company Commander, we seem to be late..." Wang Yongcheng felt regretful. If he had ordered the troops to move faster, maybe the third battalion would have been saved.
Liu Houming nodded and analyzed very calmly: "We are indeed late, but Battalion Commander Wang, you don't need to blame yourself too much. The horses need to accumulate strength, and the cavalry battalion is basically equipped with broadswords and three Japanese-made weapons. They mainly use eight rifles, and there are some light machine guns, but they still lack the support of heavy weapons. If they come too fast, they may not have much effect."
"Maybe!" Wang Yongcheng also knew how strong he was. Compared with other main infantry battalions, the cavalry battalion was very different.
The main infantry battalion has more than 600 people in each battalion, while one of his battalions only has more than 300 people, less than 400 people. Even Liu Houming's secret agent company has more than 200 people.
To be honest, what Liu Houming said is indeed the truth, and it is the truth!
The cavalry battalion is different from the special agent company. The cavalry battalion starts from scratch when it is formed. The troops have no combat experience and few people have experience in riding horses.
There is only one Wang Yongcheng, who was the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Northeastern Army. The cavalry battalion is already very large in scale now. Although the combat effectiveness is not strong, it has the airs, right?
"Don't think so much. The third battalion has probably been destroyed. If we really want to avenge our third battalion, we have to wait until later." As he said that, Liu Houming's eyes narrowed slightly.
Compared with Zhang Tianhai, the somewhat impulsive regiment leader, Liu Houming's subordinate is extremely qualified - calm enough and ruthless enough at the same time. The key is to only obey Zhang Tianhai's orders!
"What a pity. Who knew this battle would end like this?" Wang Yongcheng sighed.
In order to ensure the safety and suddenness of the sudden attack, there were no torches in the cavalry battalion. They were like a ghost hiding in the dark night, and like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed. People feel that they dare not underestimate their majesty.
"None of this is definitely our fault. If the troops of the 88th Division had not withdrawn from Lanfeng, our troops would not have to enter the city at all!" Liu Houming said through gritted teeth.
Like most people, he was angry not at the strength of the Japanese army, but at the retreat of his own people!
If the 88th Division had not retreated, Lan Feng would never have reached this point!
At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning on May 24th.
…
Time goes back to an hour ago, to Dangshan, thousands of miles away from Lanfeng.
Huang Jie's Eighth Army Headquarters.
"Reporting to the military, the troops of the 24th Division are asking for help. At the same time, according to the report of Commander Bai Huizhang, the commander of the 102nd Division, the Japanese troops have reached less than 400 meters from the division headquarters!" A combat staff officer Reported to Huang Jie who was smoking a cigarette.
Unexpectedly, Huang Jie, who was smoking, suddenly stood up and cursed angrily: "Damn, the little devils are beating so fast! Even our Dangshan can't last two days, and they are asking me for help." ?! Is our Eighth Army Headquarters the Group Army Headquarters?! Where did we get so many soldiers?!"
Faced with Huang Jie's sudden anger, everyone was unexpected, including the chief of staff.
Huang Jie took a deep breath, dropped the unburned cigarette in his hand, and said: "Now, the Japanese army has almost reached the headquarters of the 102nd Division, and the 102nd Division can't hold on much longer. Dangshan Our Eighth Army has defended this city for long enough. Now, our troops have suffered heavy casualties. There are tens of thousands of troops, and it is estimated that less than 10,000 are left. And we have no reinforcements. If we continue to fight like this, our troops will be destroyed. It’s really going to be all gone…”
"What does the military officer mean?" The chief of staff took over the question very wisely. He knew what Huang Jie was going to say next.
"There is no need to defend Dangshan anymore. Immediately tell the entire army, including the 94th Army and the 24th Division, to abandon their positions immediately and withdraw from Dangshan! Retreat to the west!" Huang Jie said very decisively.
