The sudden outbreak of fighting alerted Yoshio Katamura who was resting.
When Katamura Yoshio hurriedly stood up to take a look, he saw in the dim firelight that the dark Chinese cavalry had already brandished their sharp sabers and rushed to the position of the first team of the infantry squadron.
The first team didn't even have time to organize a decent resistance, and was rushed to pieces.
Facing the cavalry at full speed, unless the infantry has intensive machine gun firepower, you will be like a sheep, being slaughtered wantonly by the opponent.
The defense line of the 1st Infantry Regiment was quickly overwhelmed.
Immediately afterwards, the Chinese cavalry divided into three groups. Two of them drew two large arcs on the open ground, diagonally cutting towards the entrance and exit of Teapot Au. The purpose of these two groups of cavalry was self-evident. Metaphorically, it is necessary to cooperate with the Chinese soldiers in the entrance and exit directions to destroy the Japanese troops in these two directions.
The remaining cavalry rushed straight towards the core defensive position where Katamura Yoshio was. Katamura Yoshio could even clearly hear the killing cry of the Chinese cavalry.
"Baga, Baga Yalu!" Katamura Yoshio roared through gritted teeth, "Why do the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment have so many cavalry? Why do the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment have cavalry? Those idiots from the Extra High School Course are What do these idiots do for food, what else can they do, what else can they do?”
The righteous man in Katamura was so angry that he let out an angry roar.
The sudden appearance of the Chinese cavalry caught the Japanese army by surprise!
Because all the defensive deployments of the Japanese army are aimed at infantry, not cavalry!
The righteous man in the village never expected that there would actually be an established cavalry in the Dameishan Independent Regiment!
As an old Japanese soldier who has experienced many battles, Katamura Yoshio knows better than anyone else that Katamura's brigade is finished!
In the open plain terrain, unless the infantry has sufficient heavy machine gun firepower and makes defensive arrangements in advance, there is only one result, and that is to be slaughtered by the cavalry like chickens and dogs!
So, does the Katamura brigade have enough machine gun firepower
The answer is yes, the Katamura brigade has a heavy machine gun squadron, equipped with six Type 92 heavy machine guns!
If these six Type 92 heavy machine guns are gathered together and fortifications are built in advance to defend against cavalry attacks, then a mere cavalry squadron will not be afraid even if an entire cavalry brigade comes. However, unfortunately, these six heavy machine guns Four of the machine guns have been deployed to the north and south wings by Katamura Yoshio!
Now, there are only two heavy machine guns left with Yoshio in Katamura.
In addition, there is a light machine gun as standard for each infantry team.
In other words, there are only five light and heavy machine guns left in the core defensive position.
To make matters worse, the Katancunli brigade was not prepared to defend against the cavalry attack at all. They neither dug horse pits, nor deployed barbed wire, nor deployed antlers to resist the horses.
Therefore, Katamura Yoshio could already foresee the outcome of the Japanese army.
Despite his anger, Katamura Yoshio did not lose his composure.
Facing the surging Chinese cavalry, the righteous man in the village raised his saber fiercely and roared loudly at the machine gunners of several light and heavy machine guns in front of him: "Tear the silk, throw the silk, tear the silk..."
"Throw silk here, throw silk here, throw silk here..." The commanders of several light and heavy machine guns also roared, and the machine gunners pressed the triggers at the same time, two Type 92 heavy machine guns and three crooked handle light guns. The machine guns sprayed out fierce fire at the same time, and the scorching bullets were like dense rain in an instant, violently splashing on the surging Chinese cavalry.
(Dividing line)
Tiegang stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, and rested his right leg weakly on the saddle. At the same time, he hugged Chitu's horse's neck with both hands, and pressed his whole body tightly against the left side of Chitu's horse to reduce the weight as much as possible. He was shot in the face, but even so, Tiegang couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be hit by the Japs' bullets, and that he would definitely survive to the end.
The Red Rabbit Horse has started to speed up completely, and Tie Gang can even feel the blood flowing rapidly in its veins.
Looking up, Tiegang could clearly see the beautiful red flowers blooming on the Japs' position. They were the muzzle flames ejected from the Japs' machine guns. They looked so beautiful, but in fact, they were nothing. It is a deadly flame. With every muzzle flame blooming, there will inevitably be a dazzling tongue of flames sweeping over.
One of the tongues of fire almost passed by Tie Gang's ears. The extremely short and harsh scream almost pierced his eardrums. Looking back, he saw that the dazzling tongues of fire had intertwined into a sheet. The dazzling cross fire network passed by, and the cavalry rushing forward behind him fell one by one.
Tie Gang's pupils were instantly filled with blood, and his heart was bleeding.
These are his cavalry, all the hard work of his years of training and care!
"Japanese, I call you your eighteenth generation ancestor!" Tiegang's heart was bleeding, but at this time, before he crossed this journey of death, he could only do very little except roar. Apart from roaring, the only thing he could do was All he did was pray, praying that Chitu could cross this journey of death as soon as possible.
However, war is cruel. She will never favor you just because you are a commander, and bullets will not fly around just because you are a master of cavalry combat! While walking, the red rabbit under Tie Gang's body trembled without warning, then raised his head and let out a long mournful hiss, and suddenly stood up.
Tie Gang was caught off guard and was thrown high into the air.
"Boom!" The Red Rabbit Horse stood up first, and then fell down. The horse's head hit the ground heavily, and then its huge body suddenly turned over again, rolled several times in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. When he landed again, he was already in front of the Japs' defensive position. Wherever the red rabbit rolled, smoke and dust instantly filled the sky.
Tie Gang also flew forward more than ten meters under the action of inertia before falling heavily to the ground.
Falling off a sprinting horse is no joke. The sprinting speed of a war horse exceeds 60 kilometers per hour. You can fully imagine what the result will be if you fall off a car at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Tiegang landed on his back, bounced up suddenly, landed again, rolled forward continuously, and finally fell into a ditch before finally stopping.
Tiegang fell into the ditch, and his life or death was unknown, but the charge of the Third Cavalry Company did not stop.
Seeing their beloved battalion commander shot and knocked off his horse, the cavalry soldiers of the third company were instantly furious. They howled like wounded beasts, wildly urged their horses, and charged forward like crazy. The cavalrymen in front After falling down, the cavalry behind him immediately leapt past without any pause!
In less than a hundred meters, nearly half of the Third Company was killed or injured!
Including the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang, nearly forty cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
However, the remaining forty cavalry were enough to kill all the Japanese!
After paying a heavy price of nearly forty cavalry, the Third Cavalry Company finally rushed to the Japs defensive position, and then crashed into it with a roar like a violent roar. The Japs on the position were instantly knocked to pieces. In one fell swoop, a few Japs died under the sword, but more Japs died under the iron hoof.
When infantry faces cavalry, once they enter into close combat, the outcome is doomed.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill them all, kill them, kill them, kill them all, kill them all..."
Tiegang, the commander of the third cavalry company, had already killed him, urging his horses to violently clash back and forth on the battlefield. When he encountered the Japanese, dead or alive, or kneeling and surrendering, he could not help but kill them with his sword. The other forty or so cavalry officers also His eyes turned red, and he urged his war horses to rush back and forth on the battlefield, chasing down the escaping Japanese in embarrassment.
"Go to hell!" Tie Gang caught up with a Japanese from behind and chopped him off with a single blow without any hesitation.
The Japanese's reaction was also very fast. At the critical moment, he suddenly turned around and turned around. A sharp saber blocked Tiegang's saber, and the two sabers struck each other. There was an instant explosion of light, and Tiegang suddenly felt a tiger's mouth. He was numb, but the Japanese was even more unbearable. He even flew backwards with his knife.
The righteous man in Katancun dragged his feet on the floor and slid back seven or eight steps before finally sitting down heavily on the ground.
After landing, Katamura Yoshio struggled to get up, but he felt that his whole body was sore and weak, and his chest and lungs were so suffocated that they almost exploded. He suddenly raised his head, and Katamura Yoshio faced Tie Gangyuan. With his eyes wide open, Tie Gang's eyes were severely bloodshot due to extreme hatred, as red as a demon from hell!
"Gouyue's Japanese, die!" Tiegang urged his horse to rush towards him, and slashed him head-on again with his sword.
Katamura's righteous man's arms were so weak that he could hardly lift them. He was unable to block, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent's saber slashed him down.
The next moment, the righteous man in Katamura heard a faint sound, and then found himself suddenly flying into the air, and then the whole world began to roll violently. After rolling several times, the whole world suddenly stopped again. Coming down, he saw his adjutant Kasahara holding a saber and roaring loudly.
Then, Yoshio Katamura saw the Chinese cavalryman rushing past Kasahara just now. The saber in the hands of the Chinese cavalryman suddenly fell and raised, and Kasahara's head flew into the air, flying in the air. Far away, he fell to the ground with a pop. After landing, Kasahara's eyes were right at him.
Katamura Yoshio saw it clearly, and Kasahara blinked at him.
Then, Katamura Yoshio's consciousness fell into endless darkness.
"Xu Xu..." Tie Gang gently stopped his horse, but his cruel eyes stared ten steps ahead like a wolf.
About ten steps ahead, a Japanese soldier was kneeling in front of the radio. He looked back at Tiegang from time to time with fearful eyes, but his subordinates did not pause for a moment. He kept pressing the button, and the radio station on the ground continued to beep. There was a beep, this guy was a telegraph operator, and he was spending his last moments sending a telegram to the detachment headquarters.
