Chapter 544: Heroic Cavalry

The speed of the cavalry company in the rear is getting faster and faster, and the war horses raised by the Japanese army are all made of fine materials, so the war horses look particularly energetic. Although the war horses of the cavalry regiment were captured from the hands of little devils, since entering Taihang Mountain, although the food of the new 33rd Army has been sufficient, raising so many war horses still consumes a lot of food, so part of the feed for the horses is black beans.

Over time, the physical strength of the war horse began to decline, and there was a gap with the war horses carefully raised by the Japanese army.

Seeing that the Japanese cavalry was getting closer and closer to his side, the cavalry company commander knew that it would be difficult to escape today.

"Platoon leader, take your people back and tell the regiment commander that there are a large number of Japanese cavalry around Dingxiang! The rest of the people turned around with me to cover the evacuation of a platoon! ”

The cavalry company commander gave the final order, and when the soldiers of the New 33rd Army did not die at the end of the day, they would not easily choose to die with the little devils, but today they really reached a dead end, and they could only leave their lives in this land they loved.

Maybe next spring, the land will grow more abundant because of their nourishment.

"Company commander, let's leave cover, you take people to withdraw!" A platoon leader said.

"Don't fucking ink, so many little devils are coming for our cavalry regiment, you have to send the information back!"

The cavalry company commander knew that the little devil suddenly appeared so many cavalry around here, it was definitely not just for his cavalry company, the little devil must have more cavalry.

"The second and third rows turned around and fought with the little devils! Cover a platoon to evacuate! ”

Dozens of war horses stopped in the wilderness, turned around, and faced the Japanese cavalry surging towards them, they were afraid, no one was afraid of death, but they did not run away, and then drew their swords, which had been sharpened by the soldiers.

After escaping all the way, their guns are out of bullets, and the only thing they can fight with the little devils now is the saber in their hands.

The platoon commander did not reply, because he knew that this was the time that his brothers had bought for them, this was the time that his brothers had bought for their lives, and he was not allowed to stop, and he had to tell the regiment commander what the company commander had explained, otherwise dozens of brothers' lives would be thrown in vain in this wilderness.

"Captain, the Chinese cavalry left behind is covering the escape of another group of cavalry!"

"You take your cavalry squad around and catch up with them, and no one can let go!" The captain of the Japanese army said to him.

It may be stupid for the two sides to face each other, dozens of people facing a thousand people, but they still bravely showed their sabers, and the vacuum of the confrontation between the two sides was quiet and terrifying.

The cold wind swept the blades of grass, as if fleeing from this land that was about to be blooded, no one likes war, this group of Chinese soldiers is peace-loving, they are just a group of peasants who put down their hoes to protect their homeland.

After today, everything that used to be has nothing to do with them anymore. The cavalry of both sides began to hedge, only to hear the neighing of the horses and the screams of the brethren, and then fell from the horses.

Blood gurgled from the soldiers' bodies, and the warriors who fell to the ground twitched, they were afraid of death, but they chose to die anyway.

The first charge, dozens of cavalrymen, leaving only three men and his war horses.

The cavalry of a little devil rode out of the queue on a war horse proudly: "The Chinese on the opposite side listen, they still want you to surrender, we can not kill you!" ”

"Brothers, we are the invincible Lu Bu, and we are also the invincible Xiang Yu, and the people in the cavalry regiment are all Zhao Zilong, who can only die, not surrender!"

The rumbling sound of iron hooves overshadowed the howling cold wind, the hot blood was blown cold by the wind, dozens of war horses without owners were foraging freely on the wasteland, the wilderness was once again controlled by the cold wind, and the blood-stained saber was stuck in the ground, flashing a faint cold light.

In just ten minutes, dozens of soldiers lost their lives in such a battle without any record, maybe Taihang Mountain will have one of their tombstones, maybe it is a common tombstone.

The Japanese cavalry did not delay in the slightest, because there was still a platoon of Chinese cavalry fleeing, although a small squad had just pursued it, but in order not to be ambushed by the Chinese army, he needed to take his troops to meet them immediately.

Although the cavalry company commander gave the platoon commander time with his life, the timing of ten minutes was still too short, and the platoon commander had already fled as fast as possible.

But smoke and dust were once again kicked up in their rear, and a Japanese squad chasing them was already within sight.

"First squad leader, give your horse to the second squad leader, let him run first, and the rest of the people will stay with me!"

Their company commander had already bought them time with his life more than half an hour ago, and now it was their turn, their comrades were killed in battle, and they were the only ones left to finish.

The cavalry of a small squad of the Japanese army was about 60 people, and there were only 30 of them in a platoon, and the cavalry platoon commander felt that he could still fight now, and when the cavalry of the Japanese brigade caught up, they could only be sent to death.

Now take advantage of the strength of the battle, first take advantage of what you can take advantage of, anyway, you can't run anymore, let's change a few more little devils.

Before the Japanese cavalry could catch up, the platoon commander divided his remaining 29 men into three parts, the second squad followed him in front, the first squad on the left flank, and the third squad on the right flank.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese army's timely horses lined up in front of a platoon leader, and the Japanese squad leader did not have the slightest ambiguity and directly ordered the troops to charge.

"Rush!"

The cavalry hedged, and a platoon leader with a dozen fighters of the second squad also launched a charge against the little devil.

And the cavalry of the two squads lying in ambush on both flanks, when they saw the two sides hedging, they also began to rush to the battlefield.

The Japanese squad leader did not expect that there were still Chinese cavalry hidden on their flanks, and he thought that the remaining Chinese soldiers had already fled, leaving behind to cover them.

But after all, the Chinese cavalry only had one platoon, and even if it was properly arranged, the first platoon did not take advantage of it in the first encounter.

The three squads of cavalry were united, but when they saw that there were only twelve soldiers left, their squad and platoon leaders were cut off from their horses by the Japanese in the first round of fighting.

No one grieved, no one shouted the name of their squad platoon leader, and now the only thing they had to do was wipe the blood off their knives and fight to the last breath.

The captain of the little devil's squad didn't expect that there were more people falling in their charge this time than the Chinese soldiers, a full twenty-five people. He was furious, so they didn't give the Chinese soldiers a chance to breathe, and just turned around and immediately charged.

It was a battle without suspense, and the soldiers already knew their final outcome, and in a war there could not always be a situation in which one side took advantage. It is the law of war that one trades off the other's strengths.

Only the second squad leader of a cavalry company survived, and he found Yan Xingwang with the news.

Yan Xingwang heard the news from the second squad leader and knew that the matter had been fought and a cavalry company was wiped out, which was not a trivial matter. In addition to his grief, he was even more shocked by how many cavalry the Japanese army came.

"Order all our troops to withdraw and assemble!"

When Yan Xingwang is not grieving, he needs to gather troops immediately, and he can't let the little devils break each one.

When the cavalry was assembled, Yan Xingwang also immediately arranged for a communication soldier to report the situation to Li Weimin.

After the cavalry was assembled, Yan Xingwang knew that something really big had happened, not only a cavalry company, but also a cavalry battalion did not come back, obviously this cavalry battalion did not even escape from a single messenger.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

The cavalry regiment suffered such a big loss for the first time, according to the character of the New 33rd Army, there is revenge and no revenge, although Liao Fan is not a righteous gentleman, but Yan Xingwang also knows that if he does not know the enemy's situation, he will definitely be beaten very badly.

None of them knew how many cavalry the little devils had.

In the evening of the same day, Liao Fan received information from Li Weimin.

Liao Fan slapped the table and was furious: "How can Yan Xingwang be the commander of the regiment, he lost a quarter of the cavalry at once, he doesn't have to be the commander of the regiment, let him be a groom!" ”

The cavalry is the treasure of the new 33rd Army, and if you sacrifice one, you will have one less, and there is no place to replenish such a high-quality war horse.

Li Lingfei looked at Liao Fan, not understanding why Liao Fan was angry when he asked, but when he saw the information. Li Lingfei finally knew what was going on.

"Brother Fan, how can this happen?"

It stands to reason that the situation should not be like this, even if the cavalry has losses against the infantry of the little devils, there should not be a situation where the whole army is annihilated and no one can escape.

"According to the report of the squad leader who escaped, there were no less than 800 Japanese troops pursuing them, and at the same time, the Japanese army also killed one of our battalion soldiers, according to these two aspects, the Japanese army has at least one cavalry of more than one wing, and may even follow!"

Liao Fan calmed down, what made him angry was that he was a cavalry regiment, and now he had lost more than 500 people inexplicably, and he didn't know the situation of the little devil. Now that I think about it, the little devil must have transferred a lot of cavalry, targeting Yan Xingwang's cavalry regiment.

"Tonight, I'm going to Beitai Peak, you arrange for someone to go to the hospital and tell Dr. Fu, and the kid I brought, you arrange him to the school, and let Liu Deyun teach him English first!"

The kid Liao Fan was talking about was Longqiu, and after they returned to Taihang Mountain, Longqiu temporarily stayed at Lu Liming's residence to rest.

I didn't expect that as soon as Liao Fan went home, such a big thing happened, and it was not easy to manage such a big mess of things. But he can't help it, if he loses 500 infantry, everything will be left to Li Weimin to deal with, he should find the little devil to ask for the account, and if he should retaliate, he will retaliate......

But now it is the loss of cavalry, and from the analysis of the situation, it is likely that the Japanese army transferred cavalry from other directions to Shanxi!
