Chapter 753 The variables in the commander's heart (two chapters in one!)(1/2)
"Comrades, kill with me..." The cavalry battalion commander Tao Yongsheng held a sabre and rushed to the second cavalry troop, with only a hundred Japanese left in front.
A pair of eyes stared at a cavalry lieutenant in front of him, bent down, trying to keep his body close to the horse's back, and the saber blade forward, and with the help of the huge inertia brought by the war horse, he waved forward with force...
The lieutenant of the Japanese reacted very quickly and quickly raised his saber to block his face.
Two sharp sabers collided face to face, making a crisp sound of impact.
In order not to be killed, the Japanese lieutenant used all his strength and was lucky enough to block Tao Yongsheng's first knife at him.
But Tao Yongsheng is not a vegetarian. After the hard cuts fail to work, he immediately took a different approach.
I felt that the saber in my hand was blocked by the other party and could not continue to cut it down. As soon as I turned my wrist, the sharp blade aimed at the right hand of the Japanese Lieutenant holding the saber.
With a strong force, the saber slashed along the opponent's saber at the Japanese right arm.
At this time, the lieutenant of the Japanese had just blocked Tao Yongsheng's knife at him with all his strength. His arm was in a state of numbness. Faced with the sudden change, he could not react at all. Then he felt a stinging pain spread from his right arm to his body.
A sharp blade passed through his arm, leaving a half-inch-deep blood cut, which flowed out of the cut like a blood donation fountain. If there weren't bones in front of the flesh and blood, the lieutenant's right arm would have been cut off!
Although it has not been cut off now and there is still a bone in the middle, the right arm will definitely not be used.
The severe pain caused the whole right arm to use no strength, and the saber held in the hand fell to the ground due to failure of force...
The cavalry without the sabre stood in front of the cavalry camp like a straw target. The cavalry rushing towards him did not need any skill at all. He raised his sword and fell, and the lieutenant of the Japanese fell to the ground in an instant...
Tao Yongsheng believed that his subordinates would definitely kill the injured lieutenant. After the sabre passed through the lieutenant's right arm, his eyes quickly locked onto an ordinary cavalry less than five meters ahead. He held the sabre that was still dripping blood, pulled the reins of the war horse, and decisively killed the next target...
After the third Japanese cavalry was chopped over and dropped by Tao Yongsheng, there was no living Japanese in front of him...
In less than ten seconds in total, the first round of the two sides ended.
The strong combat power of the Japanese army was fully demonstrated in this battle.
Less than a hundred Japanese devils fought against four hundred cavalrymen in the cavalry battalion, but they were not at a disadvantage.
After the first round of rushing, they had less than forty cavalry left and lost more than fifty people.
Although the cavalry battalion has four times the advantage in military strength, it did not take a big advantage in this head-on battle. Their losses were even greater than those of the Japanese, and at least seventy cavalry fell to the ground!
More than a hundred war horses who lost their master did not leave the battlefield immediately. Most of them stood next to their master's body, sticking out their tongues and licking the blood flowing from their master's body, which looked particularly sad...
"Comrades, there are not many Japanese soldiers anymore. Keep killing me... and destroy them all!" Tao Yongsheng wiped the blood that splashed on his face when he killed Japanese soldiers just now, knocked his horse's belly hard with his feet, and rushed to the battlefield with his sabre tightly...
There were more than 30 Japanese left on the battlefield surrounded by the captain. Facing the cavalry battalion that was rushing towards him, many soldiers showed panic expressions on their faces...
The opponent has too many troops, and unless an accident occurs, they will all die in the next battle.
Although most of the Japanese are brainwashed by the Bushido spirit and do not take their lives seriously, many people are still afraid when they are facing death...
The surviving captain can't take care of that many.
There are only more than 30 cavalry left by your side, so you will definitely not be able to escape. In the end, you will be criticized as a defeated general. Since escaping or not escaping will be dead, it is better to meet and fight with your opponent, so that you can at least leave yourself the title of a warrior!
He raised his command knife with a firm look on his face, stared at the cavalry battalion that was rushing closer and closer to the opposite side, and rushed forward. The whole process was clean and neat, without any delay. He shouted while rushing: "Warriors, kill for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor..."
One minute later, nearly a hundred horses without a master appeared on the battlefield, and more than 30 cavalry left by the Japanese army were all killed, and none of them missed the net.
The Cavalry Battalion paid a huge price of more than fifty cavalry in the second round of assault just now.
Faced with this result, Tao Yongsheng's eyes were red with heartache.
But the battle was not over yet. On other battlefields, four cavalry companies were already killed with the first and third teams of the Japanese, and a large number of cavalry were killed every second.
If the cavalry battalion kills it earlier, the combat pressure of the four cavalry companies will be reduced earlier.
His face quickly returned to seriousness, and he looked at the deputy battalion commander not far away and shouted: "Old Wang, immediately bring half of the cavalry to reinforce the left wing battlefield, and the remaining cavalry to reinforce the right wing battlefield with me, let's set off now..."
At this moment, Colonel Yingteng, who was standing on the battlefield, was already stunned.
Faced with a sharp turnaround, he could not think of any way to break the situation.
All the troops that he could use were participated in the battle, and each army involved was suppressed by the enemy. Unless there was foreign aid, every battlefield waiting for him would be a great defeat.
But now, except for himself, he can no longer send any soldiers to reinforce the battlefield...
No, even he himself can't send it out now.
The infantry that came out of the blocking position chased behind the cavalry. About one company of infantry suddenly turned toward him, and the speed was very fast!
"Sir, this place is too dangerous, you must leave here immediately..." The guard captain said without saying a word, pulling the troop captain's horse under his crotch and began to move...
After running less than twenty meters, I saw a cavalry rushing towards him: "Sir, the second battalion has been killed by the enemy..."
"Sir, the first battalion was attacked by the enemy from front and back and may be killed at any time!" Another cavalry rushed over to report, his face full of horror!
"Sir, this battle cannot continue like this!" The deputy captain of the regiment reminded him anxiously.
"This is obviously an enemy's conspiracy. If there is no foreign aid joining the war immediately, the entire corps will be defeated by the enemy and then destroyed here!"
"If we retreat, we will be defeated, and we will be defeated miserably!" Colonel Yingteng's expression was very solemn and agreed with the deputy's analysis, but he was still unwilling to accept the end of his defeat.
At the critical moment of life and death, the deputy captain of the corps did not care about the superiors and inferiors, and then the captain of the corps asked: "No matter what, defeat is definitely better than the destruction of the entire army."
"If the troops are completely wiped out by the enemy here and our corps flag is destroyed, our organization will be cancelled by our superiors."
"For the honor of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, and for the honor and future of our corps, please consider this matter carefully!"
"As long as a soldier can rush out and take our corps flag out, even if we are all dead in battle, the garrison troops stationed in Mongolia can take out the corps flag and rebuild the cavalry corps..."
Colonel Yingteng was told and ordered while running away: "You are right. We can all die in battle, but the wing flag cannot be destroyed, and the organization of our wing cannot be removed!"
"Immediately notify all participating troops to split their troops and break through immediately and run towards the direction we set up camp last night!"
"We also need to contact the Shanxi garrison headquarters to inform them of our situation, and ask them to send troops to us immediately, and finally send a few planes to reinforce us!"
The first and third cavalry brigades and four cavalry companies have hedged once.
More than three hundred cavalrymen collided like floods, causing a lot of bloody rain, and then quickly separated...
After the spacing was re-pulled to three or four hundred meters, the two cavalry units stopped almost at the same time, turned the horse's head and adjusted the commando formation to prepare for the next assault!
Located on the battlefield between the two troops, more than 100 war horses stood in the middle of the corpse, which meant that during the previous rush, the enemy and us directly lost more than 100 cavalry.
On the Japanese assault position, more than fifty cavalry surrounded the captain, holding the saber in one hand and holding the reins in the other, ready to launch a new round of assault on the opponent at any time.
There were more than 130 people left in the two cavalry companies three hundred meters away.
Such a large casualty was obviously beyond the expectations of the two company commanders. At this moment, they were re-adjusting the commando based on their just-killing experience to reduce the losses during the assault for a while!
"Cabinet Company, kill with me..."
The two company commanders first activated the war horse to rush out, intending to take the initiative to make the war horse rush faster and make up for the lack of combat effectiveness through their speed advantage.
The Japanese captain saw the purpose of the cavalry company at a glance and immediately commanded the troops to launch an assault.
The two sides are only three hundred meters apart, and the distance that can be used to accelerate is very limited. Whoever takes the initiative will attack faster in a while and then seize the initiative.
"Baoba...daoba..."
Cavalry assaults are still the same. When the two sides have more than 100 meters left, crackling gunshots are heard from both troops at the same time.
The cavalry company was killed and injured nearly ten soldiers, while the Japanese lost nearly twenty.
As soon as the gunshot stopped, the two cavalry with huge disparity in force quickly collided.
The seven or eight key officers of the Japanese army, led by the brigade leader, were particularly powerful. After one round of assault, they cut at them no less than three sabers. Not only did they all dodge, but they also killed several soldiers in the cavalry company during the assault.
The second round of assault ended, and more than 30 more ownerless war horses were added on the battlefield.
There were ten cavalry left in the Japanese, and there were still about one hundred people left in the two cavalry companies.
At this moment, the remaining ten Japanese men saw the retreat signal sent by the regiment captain.
They were about to stop and turn around, immediately changed their plans, and accelerated to rush towards the brigade leader.
The cavalry company was still rushing in the opposite direction and was about to slow down and turn.
When they realized that the Japanese were going to break through and escape, they quickly pulled the reins of the war horse to be pursued, the ten Japanese had already run forward for seventy or eighty meters, and their escape speed reached the extreme.
The cavalry company is now accelerating and chasing, and the distance between the two sides will definitely be further and further.
Seeing that ten Japanese were about to slip away from their mouths, Tao Yongsheng led his troops to kill him in time.
More than a hundred cavalrymen collided with ten Japanese soldiers in fan shape, and instantly wrapped them in them, swallowing them up so much that they didn't even have any residue left...
"The wounded stayed to clean the battlefield, and the others followed me to chase the remaining Japanese devils!" The ten Japanese devils that had just been eaten were just an appetizer for Tao Yongsheng. His real goal was the captain of the cavalry corps.
On the way to reinforce the cavalry company, he had been searching for the traces of the Japanese corps captain on the battlefield, and finally he was found.
As soon as the battle here ended, he brought about a hundred cavalry to kill Colonel Yingteng.
In the Taiyuan Japanese Army headquarters, the commander of the army only received news that the cavalry corps were blocked, and he did not know that they had been severely damaged and were in danger.
The Cavalry Regiment is the only killer weapon to end the anti-raid battle as soon as possible. In addition, these two cavalry regiments are helpers they have finally hired, not their own people. The commander pays special attention to their specific trends.
After learning that the Yingteng United team was blocked on the march, they immediately ordered the intelligence department to find out the identity and equipment of the blocking troops...
In less than an hour, the intelligence officer appeared in front of the commander with the Chief of Staff.
The intelligence officer's expression was very calm. He was just a person who performed the mission. Now that the mission was completed, just hand over the result to the commander.
The Chief of Staff is not good. No matter what the result is sent by the intelligence officer, he must assist the commander in coordinating the overall situation.
Obviously, the information brought by the intelligence officer is very unfavorable to the overall situation.
To be continued...
