The Japanese army did not expect that there would be cavalry behind them, a unit that seemed to be unique to their army. The key was that the opponent was very fast and had already launched a fierce attack on them!
The arrival of the "uninvited guest" of the First Company of Cavalry brought a lot of impact to the Japanese army, and even caught them off guard. Fortunately, they were a well-trained elite unit, and they did not collapse.
The Japanese troops in the assault force were fighting bloody battles. As the commander, Watanabe Nakasa was not so optimistic. When he saw that the enemy's cavalry had circled behind them to launch a surprise attack, he knew that the chance of winning this battle was low. big!
For the Japanese army, this was a well-prepared surprise battle, but now the enemy's cavalry can appear so quickly. This not only proves that this cavalry unit is well-trained, but also shows that the enemy's cavalry can appear so quickly. The army is ready!
Both sides came well prepared and were elite troops. They were facing the enemy openly and secretly, and the enemy was waiting for reinforcements. Our own side suffered heavy casualties. In this case, what was the chance of winning? Watanabe didn't dare to think further. At this moment, he only knew that the brave would win when they meet on a narrow road!
"Warriors of the rising sun, fight to the death!! Charge!!" Watanabe held his katana high like a wounded wolf.
Inspired by their commander, the surrounding Japanese troops once again showed bloodthirsty and belligerence, as if they could really tear each other apart.
The crazy Japanese army could not stop the high morale of the National Army cavalry. Wang Yongcheng's saber was already stained with the enemy's blood. It was as dazzling as a demon under the dim firelight. The cavalry behind him also looked like their commander. Brave and fierce.
Two minutes ago, the first company of Wang Yongcheng's cavalry battalion finally broke into the enemy's ranks after suffering dozens of casualties. The cavalry of more than 100 people cut through a wave like a sharp knife, allowing the Japanese rear troops to finally break through. There was a hint of confusion.
The Japanese army is under attack from both sides!
Fortunately, Watanabe is also a ruthless man. He rushes forward at all costs. He must occupy the enemy's position before more than half of his troops are killed or wounded. Otherwise, when the enemy's reinforcements arrive at dawn, they will only feel more uncomfortable!
"As long as we wait until dawn, we can capture Changle Street..." Watanabe murmured to himself, his eyes looking particularly ferocious under the firelight.
…
A fierce battle was raging in the rear positions of Changle Street. Zhang Tianhai stood in the command room with his fists clenched. He had already guessed the Japanese army's combat intentions. The Japanese army aimed to cut off the backup road to Changle Street!
Should we send troops to continue to reinforce the forward positions? This is a very difficult problem before Zhang Tianhai. Now even the headquarters guard battalion has been dispatched. Logically speaking, with the three battalions there, and with the help of the cavalry battalion, there should be no worries. , but he was still a little worried.
"Lao Guo, do you think we should dispatch the Second Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment for reinforcements?" Zhang Tianhai asked Guo Qiliang next to him.
"Commander-in-Chief, I believe that the current situation is unclear and we should not directly send troops for reinforcements. Even if we send troops for reinforcements, it will only increase chaos. Moreover, we have now ordered the Second Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment to be ready for battle. That's it." Guo Qiliang said seriously.
"Then I'll listen to you!" Zhang Tianhai sighed softly. He was indeed under great pressure. At present, they were facing the attack of the main force of the Japanese Thirteenth Division. If they were not careful, they would lose everything. !
Zhang Tianhai was hesitant, but the current pressure from the Japanese army on Cao Kejin was not that great. The third battalion suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, there were reinforcements from the fourth battalion and a raid by the cavalry battalion, otherwise the third battalion's position would have been lost long ago!
"Battal Commander, we have less than a hundred troops left, and our position has basically been taken over by the fourth battalion." A platoon leader ran to Cao Kejin and reported.
Upon hearing the news, Cao Kejin's heart sank: if reinforcements do not arrive, the position will be in danger.
Just when Cao Kejin had given up hope, another platoon leader ran in and reported: "Report to the battalion commander, reinforcements are coming. They are the guard battalion of the headquarters!"
"What? The guard battalion of the general headquarters has been dispatched?!" Cao Kejin couldn't help but be surprised. After all, the guard battalion of the general headquarters would not be used under normal circumstances. At this stage, this force has been used to reinforce them. It can be seen that The commander-in-chief’s attention.
"Yes, according to the report, Commander Cao Wanshen of the General Headquarters Guard Battalion has personally directed the battle. The pressure on our troops has been greatly reduced." The platoon leader nodded.
"Okay, take me to see Camp Commander Cao right away!" Cao Kejin finally showed a trace of relief on his face.
"Yes! Sir!!" the platoon leader stood at attention and saluted.
…
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. When Cao Kejin and others felt happy, the pressure on Watanabe's side increased greatly. They had obviously captured two positions of the national army, but they still faced the national army. The strong pressure of frontal counterattack.
Because... Watanabe has discovered that their enemy reinforcements have arrived, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than the current enemy forces. The casualties of their troops are gradually increasing!
"Baga Yalu! Hold your position and charge!!" Watanabe knew clearly that if he retreated at this time, his troops would probably be outflanked and eaten by the national army behind them. It was not a good feeling to be attacked from both sides.
Bullets were flying everywhere. The Japanese army was indeed full of fighting spirit at this time, but the Chinese troops were also jealous. They wanted each other's lives!
"Tum!!"
"Tum!!"
In the darkness, the Japanese army's grenade launchers were throwing small artillery shells towards the Chinese army, but they soon discovered that there were also grenade launchers on the opposite side, and the number was no less than theirs!
The fierce fighting was still going on, but some troops quietly withdrew from the battlefield, such as Wang Yongcheng's 1st Cavalry Battalion. For this unit, they had achieved the effect of being unprepared to attack the enemy, and finally withdrew after losing nearly half of their troops. the battlefield.
The first company of the cavalry battalion withdrew from the battlefield, but that did not mean that the cavalry battalion withdrew from the battlefield. For example, the two strategic support companies, the second company of the cavalry battalion and the third company of the cavalry battalion, had already set up guns and artillery on the retreat path of the Japanese army.
Yes, if the national army at this time includes the cavalry battalion, it has already invested two infantry battalions, one reinforcement battalion and one cavalry battalion, and more than 2,400 combat troops. This is not counted. What about the Second Guard Regiment and the Third Guard Regiment that may be deployed to the battlefield for support at any time.
It can be said that this attack at the rear of Changle Street has already involved a very strong force of the Ninth War Zone security forces, because the participating troops are all elite troops of the First Guard Regiment. Even if one side wins, it must be A miserable victory!
This battle seems to have already destined the First Guard Regiment of the Ninth Theater Zone to be seriously injured!
