Chapter 571: Destined Ending
"There are Japanese in front of you blocking the road..." The cavalry company commander who followed Tao Yongsheng immediately reminded him loudly.
"Run directly, run over the last row and stay and sweep the tail, kill all the Japanese behind the palace, and cannot let go!" Tao Yongsheng pulled the reins of the war horse and continued to move forward while ordering, and at this moment, the saber held in his hand was replaced with a submachine gun. He loaded the bullets skillfully, put his body against the horse's back, and knocked the belly of the war horse with both feet, urging him to run faster and rush towards the Japanese in front with his own speed.
Facing the cavalry rushing towards him quickly, many Japanese Japanese showed a look of panic on their faces.
Although they are deeply poisoned by Bushido and are very desperate when fighting, it does not mean that they are not afraid of death.
Seeing the cavalry troops rushing closer and closer, the dull sound of horse hooves was like thunder, constantly stimulating their nerves, and many Japanese Japanese showed a panic expression in their eyes.
They now have nothing else to save their lives except a rifle, a few bullet boxes of ammunition, a few grenades, and there is not even a trench to hide.
Wouldn't they be a living target for the other party to fight against the cavalry rushing at high speed in this situation?
The squadron leader was also very scared, but he had no choice but to retreat.
With a blink of an eye, he pulled out his command knife and pointed forward and ordered: "For victory, we must block the cavalry here... all light machine guns are fired, and the riflemen shoot freely. When the cavalry rushes in, he greets the grenades, and fights them with bayonets after the grenade is blown up, and blocks them at all costs... Shoot..."
"Dadada..." Before he finished speaking, the rhythmic sound of the crooked strafing sounded in his ears.
The squadron leader stared at the cavalry rushing closer and closer along the bullets fired by his subordinates, and did not dare to blink for a moment, for fear that they would rush to their eyes in a daze.
The bullets fired from five light machine guns together are not dense, but they still pose a significant threat to the cavalry that is raiding.
Cavalry and horses kept falling to the ground.
But if you want to completely block the cavalry, this little firepower is still too weak.
When the cavalry was still more than 200 meters away, five light machine guns equipped by the Japanese army began to shoot. When they rushed to 100 meters, they only paid the losses of two cavalry squads.
As the shooting distance got closer, cavalry casualties began to increase significantly.
"Fast all riding rifles..." Tao Yongsheng lay on the horse's back, shouting to his subordinates behind him while rushing.
Rifles are the standard configuration for cavalry. Although the effective range is not as good as the 38th cover of infantry equipment, it is still fine to hit Japanese devils more than 100 meters away.
"Baoba..." After a cavalry closest to Tao Yongsheng fired, the gunshots in the team immediately became dense, and lasted for almost three seconds before they ended.
More than a hundred bullets flew to the five Japanese machine gun positions. Although their accurate heads were not high, because the Japanese were all lying on the ground, there were no trenches to hide, and the shooting targets were large, these bullets actually fired good accurate heads.
The three tildes were silent on the spot, and the firepower of the other two tildes was also interrupted.
Although the three tilted stolen hands of the ceasefire quickly joined the battle and their firepower was only interrupted for three or four seconds, this little time was enough for the cavalry to rush forward thirty or forty meters.
At this time, the submachine gun in Tao Yongsheng's hand could already threaten the Japanese in front of him.
Raise it in your hand quickly and pull the trigger at a machine gun position that is shooting.
Although the recoil of the submachine gun is not as good as a rifle, the firing speed is too fast, which still makes Tao Yongsheng's arm numb and he almost doesn't hold it firmly.
But the shooting effect of the submachine gun was very good. Thirty bullets instantly covered the machine gun position that Tao Yongsheng targeted. The crooked handle that had just opened fire was silent again before it could completely fire.
The standard configuration for the cavalry unit is that each cavalry company is equipped with four to five submachine guns. Tao Yongsheng brought less than two companies to launch an attack. With the cavalry squad he brought, he reduced the few lost in the assault just now, and there are currently eight submachine guns left.
They followed Tao Yongsheng to join the battle. The gunshots ended, and all the five crooked hands blocking the cavalry were silent.
At this moment, several box cannons equipped by the cavalry also joined the battle.
Compared with the bullets fired by submachine guns, the bullets fired by them are denser and have higher accuracy. It is obvious that some Japanese soldiers are in chaos after being attacked.
"Kill..." Tao Yongsheng quickly changed the submachine gun in his hand to a saber, raised it over his head, shouted and rushed towards a Japanese lieutenant he was staring at.
The moment the war horse flew past the Japanese, the saber in his hand quickly cut down.
A sword light flashed in front of his eyes, and the sharp blade easily broke through the second lieutenant's uniform, leaving a long blood mark on him, and a blood fountain splashed out from the wound, and finally fell straight to the ground...
After killing the second lieutenant, Tao Yongsheng didn't even look back and rode his war horse to continue rushing forward, chasing the escaped Japanese captain...
"Sir, the cavalry troops of the National Salvation Army are catching up again, and the troops behind the palace must have been eliminated by them!" Hearing the sound of horse hooves that were closer behind him, the guard captain was anxious to remind him.
"It's too fast..." The captain also began to get anxious.
Faced with an increasingly dangerous situation, reason slowly overcomes the desire for victory or defeat in your heart.
There were nearly a hundred subordinates who had left behind the palace just now. I thought they could drag the cavalry behind for a while, but the other party wiped them out in one assault.
At this loss rate, all the troops around him are no match for the cavalry.
Even a cavalry of one or two hundred men could not deal with it, let alone turn defeat into victory.
The captain felt that he could not be too selfish: he wanted to turn off his responsibility for defeat by dying in the battlefield, save his honor, and continue to be a hero, but he could not implicate his subordinates and take them to bury him with him.
If they could return to the county town alive and use the street fighting offensive in the city to continue fighting, no matter how powerful the national rescue army was, they could have their lives for one life and defeat hundreds of people.
As for myself, it is too easy to die, and I can also make some contributions to the army before I die.
Immediately ordered: "The troops will break through immediately in infantry squads, and now they will divide the troops... The guards will continue to walk the highway with me to attract the attention of the cavalry units of the National Rescue Army, and others will take the small path back to the county town."
"No matter who it is, after returning to the county town, we must truthfully report what we have happened here and tell the corps captain that we were fooled by the National Savior Army again. They not only hid a powerful artillery unit, but also a cavalry unit. The reason why we were defeated so quickly was that this cavalry unit played a great role!"
The mood of several team leaders was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
After hearing the command of the captain's order to split his troops to break through, several people breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as this decision was made, they had a great chance to get rid of the pursuits of the National Savior Army and continue to live.
After hearing that the captain wanted to take the highway himself to attract the attention of the National Salvation Army, several team leaders immediately became worried.
The cavalry was closely behind everyone. No matter who it was, as long as they walked the highway, they would be caught up soon, and the possibility of successfully escape was almost zero.
This means that the captain wants to use his life to keep everyone safe.
A small team leader immediately stood up and objected: "Sir, you can't walk on the highway, it's too dangerous. I will lead the troops to walk on the highway, and you will lead the guard to retreat from the mountain road!"
Several other team leaders echoed: "Sir, we can all walk on the highway, but you can't walk on the highway. Please think twice!"
The captain shook his head and explained: "You don't understand. For me, retreating on the highway is the best ending! This matter is decided, execute the order, the guards follow me to move forward, and you will disperse immediately!"
More than 200 Japanese soldiers divided their troops under the eyes of the cavalry, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
Seeing that most Japanese devils chose mountain roads and small roads next to the highway, only a few Japanese devils took the highway. The company commander who followed Tao Yongsheng said with disappointment, "The Japanese devils are too cunning. They don't divide their troops soon, and we will be in our mouths before they can divide their troops. Isn't this a pity for us? It's such a pity!"
What his subordinates didn't understand was that Tao Yongsheng seemed to have not seen the Japanese splitting their troops, and his expression was calm on his face. He kept staring at the Japanese on the road to pursue them. It seemed that they were the only ones in his eyes, and there were no more than a hundred Japanese who broke through the sides of the road.
The company commander thought Tao Yongsheng hadn't seen it, and just as he was about to remind him again, Tao Yongsheng suddenly snorted coldly.
"Don't worry, they can't run away."
"No matter which direction the Japanese broke through, the outcome of being completely wiped out by us tonight is destined!"
After hearing this answer, the company commander looked puzzled: "How is this possible? The Japanese retreated on the mountain road. We can't ride horses and chase them on the mountain road! The infantry is still dealing with the remaining enemies of the Japanese and puppet troops behind. When they catch up, the Japanese who broke through had already run away. How can we kill them?"
Tao Yongsheng refused to say anything: "If you just pursue, you will definitely not be able to wipe out them all, but the Japanese will go to a place wherever they break through or wherever they go."
"Shouyang County?" The company commander understood a little.
Tao Yongsheng nodded: "We are cavalry and we are also advancing on the highway. We must have arrived at Shouyang County before them."
"When the city gate is blocked and a few pocket arrays are arranged outside the city. I promise that as many Japanese soldiers come, we will destroy as much as they come, and no one can return to Shouyang County."
"We continue to chase, kill the dozens of Japanese in front, and then head straight to Shouyang County and wait for the rabbit!"
At the Japanese garrison command center in Shouyang County, the atmosphere in the combat room suddenly became tense due to a report from the telephone.
The corps leader couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked to the sand table, staring at the telephone soldier and was anxious to order: "Send someone out to check the telephone line immediately, we must contact the front line."
"The radio operator continues to send telegrams. Unless the front-line command is bombarded by the National Salvation Army, the radio and telephone will not be disconnected at the same time. However, the possibility of the command being bombarded by the enemy is too low. Something must have happened!"
Ten minutes passed, and there was no response on the other end of the phone!
Twenty minutes passed, and there was no good news on the radio.
The front line command seemed to be really bombarded by the National Salvation Army, and all contacts were interrupted.
But no matter how bad the situation was, the captain of the corps never had any thoughts in his mind that more than 2,000 troops on the front line had been destroyed.
