Chapter 549: Heavy Losses
However, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the distance of two hundred meters was only available in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese army who had just rushed out with a gun saw the rushing cavalry head-on, and then a cold saber slashed through the body of the little devil, and a blood line flew out in the air......
Suddenly a miserable scream sounded, and the little devil covered the wound on his body, desperately trying to stop the bleeding, but the wound left by the saber was too long, and the blood instantly stained the earth, leaving behind the corpse of the enemy.
At this time, the sky was not completely bright, and there was chaos in the camp of the little devils, but the chaos was limited to the west side of Wangjiazhuang, while the Japanese troops on the east side were methodically carrying out the officers' orders.
The sudden attack of the cavalry was very successful, and on the way forward, the gods were killed, and the Buddha was shot and killed, so that the little devil who suddenly met the enemy suffered a big loss.
However, although the Japanese army on the west side of Wangjiazhuang was chaotic, there was still resistance, and although the resistance of the little devils paid the price, it succeeded in delaying the speed of the cavalry.
This also happened to buy time for the Japanese troops on the east side of Wangjiazhuang.
The cavalry charged all the way, very smoothly, at least so far they have only lost a few dozen men, but they have cut nearly 200 Japanese troops.
However, as the charge deepened and the resistance of the little devils, the speed of the cavalry began to slow down.
By the time they reached the east side of Wangjiazhuang, the Japanese had already arranged all the defenses, especially the number of machine guns, and formed several sectors in front of the position.
"Da Da Da"
The machine-gun unit strafed the cavalry, and the neighing of the horses was full of desperation, and the bullets rained down on the cavalry, and the horses fell in a pool of blood and could not get up again.
"Brothers, rush! Get out of this line of defense, and we've made it! Yan Xingwang was already red-eyed, and he couldn't judge the current situation at all.
The cavalry almost charged at the strafing surface of the little devils, and one group of soldiers fell, and in just a few minutes, the cavalry lost more than a hundred people.
The warriors began to panic, they had never encountered such a terrible situation, the war horses were beaten into a sieve by machine guns, and the people would definitely not survive.
But Yan Xingwang still rushed forward with the soldiers as if he didn't see the soldiers around him fall.
"Da Da Da"
The Japanese machine-gun positions constantly spewed tongues of fire, harvesting the lives of the cavalry, and I don't know how many people fell in the dark night.
However, the cavalry is cavalry after all, and the speed advantage exists, Yan Xingwang led a squad of cavalry to the Japanese position first, opening a gap for the follow-up cavalry, and then rushed out of the encirclement of the little devils.
The cavalry that rushed out did not stop, but galloped eastward with a fast horse.
Feeling the biting cold wind on their faces, the soldiers knew that they had survived, but most of their comrades around them fell under the machine guns of the Japanese army, and they only rushed out of more than eighty people.
Yan Xingwang didn't look back to count the number of soldiers, because he knew that they would definitely suffer heavy losses in the face of the machine gun blockade of the little devils just now, and at this time he no longer had the courage to come and see the brothers behind him.
The Japanese troops in Wangjiazhuang immediately reported the situation to the Japanese command in Taiyuan, and then assembled their tanks and armored vehicles to chase them after Yanxingwang.
At six o'clock in the morning, before the Japanese commander got up, the guards woke the Japanese commander from his sleep and told him that there was something important.
When the Japanese commander saw the telegram, he immediately became excited, because this was the opportunity he was waiting for, and now that the opportunity has come, of course he will not let go of the Chinese cavalry.
"Order Dingxiang's troops to act immediately, be sure to intercept this group of cavalry, and the troops located in Yuanping will also immediately move forward to move closer to our armored brigade and cavalry company!"
The Japanese commander gave one order after another, knowing that there must be a Chinese army halfway through to meet the remnants of this cavalry, so he needed to mobilize all his troops to ensure that they were ready to fight the Chinese army they were about to encounter.
The little devil's troops were dispatched on all fronts, and they formed a semi-encirclement posture against Yan Xingwang, who had hedged out.
The cavalry kept urging their horses to move as fast as they could.
However, Yan Xingwang spent the night in the field against the cold wind, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the little devils waited for work, except for the little devils who were attacked by them, the Japanese troops in other directions obviously had an advantage in speed.
After more than an hour, the sky was already bright, but it was not a good thing for the surviving cavalry, the horses had been running for more than an hour, and the speed had been significantly slower, and several fighters had fallen behind.
But Yan Xingwang didn't order to stop, because he already knew that he had done something wrong, and for the hatred in his heart, he took the lives of more than 200 cavalrymen again, and this time the loss of their cavalry regiment was really miserable.
Yan Xingwang began to regret it, regretting his reckless actions, but now he wanted to bring the rest of the people back.
War is like this, because someone's thought will bury the life of a soldier, not just Yan Xingwang, but the entire Chinese battlefield This happens, but this is in the new 33rd Army, under the leadership of Liao Fan, Liao Fan will definitely not keep such a commander, but it also depends on whether Yan Xingwang can survive.
The sun rose, and the remnants of dozens of cavalry rushed to the rising sun.
Just behind them, the Japanese cavalry had caught up, and their speed obviously had a great advantage, and the Japanese armored brigade that followed closely behind the Japanese cavalry was the Japanese armored brigade, which was a little slower in speed because they had been attacked by Yan Xingwang.
However, with the speed advantage of the armored forces, they quickly caught up with the cavalry wing in front.
As for the Chinese cavalry that had fallen behind, they had already fallen under the guns of the Japanese army, and those who broke away now were tantamount to death.
Gradually, they got closer and closer to the place where they met, and the Japanese pursuing force got closer and closer to them.
Just as they approached the meeting point, the Japanese armored forces and cavalry were already neck and neck.
The cavalry who responded were very excited to see their regiment commander return safely, but when they saw the billowing smoke and dust behind Yan Xingwang, they immediately became nervous, because the Japanese army was chasing more troops than them, and there were also armored troops.
"Withdraw!"
Without firing a single shot at the Japanese army, Yan Xingwang immediately ordered a retreat after changing their horses.
Although they retreated, the Japanese armored units still caught up, and the cavalry regiment began to suffer casualties, and the galloping cavalry was constantly hit by the artillery of the little devils, and even the men and horses were blown to pieces by the shells.
A company commander looked at the Japanese tanks that were getting closer and closer behind him, and he took the initiative to stop with his company and face the Japanese armored forces.
"Rush!"
On the orders of the company commander, the cavalry began to charge in reverse, but all in vain, they were valiant, but it was doomed to a suicidal battle.
More than a hundred cavalrymen charged against the little devil's tank, and the saber slashed at the Japanese tank and burst into sparks, the saber broke, and the soldiers began to use their guns, and then the bullets that rebounded, accidentally injured themselves.
The Japanese tanks slaughtered the cavalry unscrupulously, and in just ten minutes, a cavalry company was wiped out, and only one soldier of the little devil was cut off by the cavalry because he couldn't dodge.
The cavalry against the armored forces was destined to be tragic and tragic, and the cavalry did not have the slightest ability to resist.
The little devil's tanks ruthlessly ran over the corpses of the dead soldiers, and they continued to increase their horsepower and chase after the fleeing cavalry, which faced the tanks and armored vehicles, and the cavalry was completely slaughtered.
On the way of the cavalry regiment's retreat to Lingjing Township, there were constantly cavalry who took the initiative to stay and cover the retreat of the large army, but their courage and lives only fought for a short few minutes for the retreat of the large army.
Yan Xingwang shed tears of remorse on his horse, if he asked him to choose again, he would definitely not act rashly.
There are no ifs on the battlefield, only killing and being killed, and since this has been done, such a result must be left.
The Japanese armored forces had already distanced the cavalry wing in the rear, but the armored brigade did not seem to have any intention of stopping. The captain of the armored group looked at the one-sided battle with confidence.
There was no suspense in this battle, and they would eat these cavalrymen little by little, and revive the glory of their Imperial Japanese Army.
After sacrificing hundreds of soldiers, the remnants of the cavalry regiment finally ran into the boundary of Lingjing Township, and the Japanese armored troops in the rear still persevered in pursuit, all the way to Lingjing Township, and the captain of the little devil thought that they had victory in sight.
Li Weimin had already gone to the front line in person, looking at the cavalry regiment that had fled back, his heart began to tug, in terms of scale, there were less than a thousand people left in the cavalry regiment, which meant that the cavalry regiment could not exert combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
However, Li Weimin didn't know that Liao Fan had already expected such a result, and he had already made up his mind to disband the cavalry regiment.
"Let the little devil's armored troops go over, let the troops in the rear wipe out all the little devil's armored troops, don't take prisoners!" Li Weimin coldly gave orders to the signal troops.
"Everyone is ready to fight, meet the cavalry of the little devils!"
The captain of the Japanese armored forces apparently did not notice that the terrain in Lingjing Township was seriously unfavorable to their armored forces, and he only saw the Chinese cavalry that they were about to be wiped out, and he ordered to speed up the passage through these crooked mountain roads.
The Japanese cavalry in the rear didn't care if there was an ambush of the Chinese army in front, because the armored brigade was opening the way in front, and as long as the armored troops had nothing to do, they would definitely have nothing to do.
However, Li Weimin's goal is the cavalry of the little devils, and what he is waiting for is for the Japanese cavalry to enter Lingjing Township and enter their encirclement.
The narrow terrain in Lingjing Township forced the pursuing Japanese cavalry to obey the terrain and march in a zigzag shape in the mountain road.
After watching the Japanese cavalry wing completely enter their encirclement, Li Weimin decisively ordered all the weapons to open fire together.
"Boom Boom"
The violent explosion blew the rocks on both sides of the mountain road, and the huge rocks slid down from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, blocking the road of the Japanese cavalry.
