Smoke and dust were billowing on the road from Yueyang to Quankou Town, and several military horses galloped on the dirt road, making even the earth tremble slightly.
If there was any possibility of someone blocking the way ahead, the cavalry on horseback would have already fired!
This is the devil's cavalry!
I saw these devils with ferocious looks, and the rising sun flag rushing in front looked particularly flamboyant. These were the devils of the Sixth Division! Number, Sixth Cavalry Regiment!
The number of the cavalry regiment is not large, only more than 1,400, but its strength lies in its strong mobility and fast support, so Inaba Shiro defines this unit as a reinforcement unit!
At the same time, other infantry regiments of the Sixth Division also carried out emergency war mobilization. At least the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment has set off!
…
Yueyang, the headquarters of the Sixth Division.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, is it really appropriate for us to do this?" A lieutenant general and staff officer couldn't help but asked Inaba Shiro.
"Even if we lose some of our troops, we still have to fight. The 13th Regiment is the essence of our Sixth Division. The mission of the 13th Regiment this time is to find out the enemy's situation. The cavalry The mission of the alliance is the same!" As he said that, Inaba Shiro's eyes narrowed slightly.
"I understand, your Excellency, the division commander is wise." Lieutenant Colonel lowered his head and responded. He didn't seem to be very resistant. After all, what the division commander said made sense...
…
The captain of the Sixth Regiment of the Japanese Cavalry is called Kumamoto Kenji. He is from Kumamoto Prefecture and comes from a serious steel worker family. Like most of the officers of the Sixth Division, he is equally tough, as can be seen from his ferocious and fierce look. Saw it.
That's murderous intent!
The surrounding mountains seem to indicate the unfathomable depth here. Who knows whether there may be enemies hidden on both sides!
Kumamoto Kenji's slender eyes are full of calmness, but also a little unruly! Because he knows that there may be enemies hiding in the mountains nearby. If this is the case, I am afraid these people will give them a fatal blow!
When he reached a position similar to the mouth of a pot, Kumamoto Kenji yelled: "Stop!!"
When Kumamoto Kenji ordered to stop, his strong arm suddenly reined in the horse, and the whole horse stood upright. It looked very mighty... Unfortunately, he was a Japanese devil.
Yes, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Guard Regiment who were hiding on the mountain and preparing to open fire also thought so.
Like other combat units, the officers and soldiers of the Second Guard Regiment also adopted a split-guard strategy. After all, the Japanese reinforcements did not only come from one direction, so there was only one company of one battalion here. Their mission was Inform the battalion headquarters of the direction in which the Japanese troops appear, and then the battalion headquarters will report to the regiment headquarters.
Although Zhou Fangjie did not place any hope on how long a company of officers and soldiers could hold on here, in fact, according to the current weapons and equipment of the Second Guard Regiment, coupled with the geographical advantage, it is no longer possible to fight.
The camera returned to the direction of the Nationalist Army. The Nationalist officers and soldiers on the mountain were already loaded with bullets, just waiting for the company commander's order.
Company Commander Li Qiang is a veteran who was promoted from a soldier to a company commander. At this time, he knew very well that the Japanese cavalry below had not yet fully entered the shooting range. To be more precise, he wanted the Chinese soldiers to shoot. Hit the range, so he had to wait!
"Give me my order. No one is allowed to shoot without my order! Violators will be dealt with according to military law!" Li Qiang said softly, just loud enough that only the people around him could hear.
The Japanese army is already close at hand, and many recruits who have never been on the battlefield are already breaking out in cold sweat. Most of them have only heard about the brutality and powerful fighting power of the Japanese, but they have never seen the real Japan. Devil.
Although their purpose of joining the army is to go to the battlefield and eliminate the invaders, after all, this is a war, but it involves human lives. It is impossible for them not to be nervous and afraid!
After the comrades conveyed the company commander's order, the tense strings in the hearts of these officers and soldiers finally relaxed a little: after all, with the company commander, a veteran who has been in battle for a long time, these little devils cannot be omnipotent. , they will die too!
Immediately, Kenji Kumamoto picked up a rifle and fired a shot at the deepest place in the forest.
"boom!!"
As a crisp gunshot rang out, a flurry of birds flew out of the trees.
It was precisely because of this flying bird that Kumamoto Kenji relaxed his vigilance. After all, this proved that there was no one here.
"I'm just saying, there's no way the damn China Army could have arrived here so quickly. How could they be so fast? Only the Army of the Empire of Japan can do it so fast. ! Hahahaha..." Said arrogantly, Kumamoto Kenji burst out laughing.
After laughing arrogantly, Kenji Kumamoto pulled out the katana from his waist and shouted: "Imperial Army of Japan! The Sixth Cavalry Regiment! Troops! Forward!"
Following Kumamoto Kenji's order, the Japanese cavalry rushed forward. However, what these Japanese soldiers didn't know was that there were already seven or eight rifles on the mountain aimed at their regimental captain.
As early as when Kumamoto Kenji was laughing wildly, Li Qiang on the mountain said: "Come on some brothers with good marksmanship and aim at the laughing Japanese officer for me!"
Facts have proved that Li Qiang's speculation was not wrong. When Kumamoto Kenji pulled out the katana from his waist, it proved that he was the protagonist in the ambush!
In fact, in normal times, officers of Kenji Kumamoto's level should not be on the front line, but should be strategizing.
But Kumamoto Kenji was leading a cavalry team and was tasked with rushing to the rescue of Jiankou Town. Moreover, he also wanted to fire the first shot and win the first battle in this rescue operation. Under the guidance of this thought , Kumamoto Kenji decided to go to the front line in person and personally lead the team of the 6th Cavalry Regiment to charge!
At the time of departure, Kumamoto Kenji's victory was considered to be a success - the defeat rate of this battle was extremely small. The most important thing was that if the enemy wanted to capture the town of Jiankou, it would be impossible for the enemy to complete the siege quietly. The troops in Jiankou Town can last at least half an hour to an hour, right? With this time, it is enough for their cavalry regiment to launch an attack on the enemy troops whose foothold is not stable!
Just when Kenji Kumamoto was proudly watching his troops advance, surprises arose!
After hearing a "fire" sound coming from the mountain, seven or eight gunshots rang out one after another, and the hot bullets went straight to Kenji Kumamoto's chest!
