Fukuoka rode on his horse and watched his men advance across the wide plains, and his heart felt infinite joy.

Fukuoka just graduated from the cavalry section of the non-commissioned officer school this year, and borrowed his family's relationship with the senior in the division and regimental management area to directly replace the previous squad leader and became a cavalry squad leader of the 10th Division.

The Japanese army that reinforced Zaozhuang this time probably had a large number of troops, but it was temporarily pieced together, and only infantry artillery was carried, and the mountain artillery belonging to the wing was not used in the battle to relieve the siege and reinforcements, as far as the recent news is concerned, the situation of the imperial army in Zaozhuang is very bad!

Just now, the two remaining Japanese troops of the forward detachment returned to the large force and reported to the commander the ambush, but the Japanese commander was very calm, and in order to prevent an encounter with a large number of Chinese troops, he first sent a cavalry squad reinforced by the wing to search, reconnoitre, and probe.

It's a pity that this Fukuoka is a two-hundred-and-five, after this cargo became the captain of the cavalry squad this year, he participated in the Lunan operation before he had time to familiarize himself with his subordinates and business, and recently he also fought with the Chinese army, but his cavalry squad, for various reasons, only had a brief fight with the 110th Division of the 13th Army under the Tang Enbo Corps, this division is newly formed, and the personnel composition is complex, so it can be said that the combat effectiveness is very poor.

Just such a battle, Fukuoka's whole person floated up, and what search and temptation were put in the back of his mind, and he only had one thought in his mind - to kill the Chinese army and lay down their positions!

Zhang Wei saw very clearly in the telescope that more than 20 cavalrymen (the Fukuoka squad had also suffered casualties before) were scattered arrogantly, carrying a rare 38-style horse pistol, constantly dispersed and dispersed, advancing and advancing.

The officers and soldiers of the independent company have no experience in dealing with cavalry, people are always afraid of strange things, and the other platoons are okay, Xu Yi's platoon is obviously a little flustered.

"Don't mess around, listen to my orders, Lao Tzu is here!" Zhang Wei set his mind on his subordinates.

How to deal with cavalry? Zhang Wei was also thinking about it, now that these cavalry cannons are getting faster and faster, they must not be allowed to rush in, otherwise the whole company will be finished. The main forces of the 23rd Regiment and the 4th Division, which were retreating, would also suffer as a result.

When several platoon commanders saw the cavalry, they also came over and waited for Zhang Wei's orders.

"Company commander, the little devil is a cavalryman, what should I do?" Several people looked at Zhang Wei with big eyes.

Zhang Wei looked at the leisurely cavalry in the distance, but it was not easy to do, these cavalry rode Oriental horses, and their bodies were full of arrogance and disdain, it seemed that they had never fought a war, but the problem was that these cavalry were too scattered, and it was difficult to fight with fewer people, whether it was a rifle or a machine gun to hit a moving target, it was very troublesome, not to mention the grenadiers, and if they couldn't beat these cavalry, then these cavalry would break up the team of the independent company with extremely high impact.

If you want to kill them, you must lure them together, kill them with maximum efficiency, and bite them to death!

The best way Zhang Wei can think of now is to let the Japanese army close the net and shrink back through the movement and retreat of the troops, and then use the remaining firepower and troops in his hands to give them a hard blow, only in this way, Zhang Wei has already made a decision.

"Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong, you give your grenadiers and light machine guns to Xu Yi and He Kun platoon, and the rest of the people gather together to prepare for maneuvering."

"He Kun and Xu Yi, accept the light machine guns of Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong's platoon, and the grenadiers are all under the command of Dong Erli, standing still and obeying my orders?"

"Company commander, what is this?" Xu Yi asked.

Zhang Wei glanced at the cavalry that was gradually advancing, and replied in a strange tone: "The Japanese cavalry is very scattered, it is estimated that they treat us as soft persimmons, and they are only about 20 people, but they are very scattered, we must ask them to be brought together, and then organize concentrated firepower to kill them." ”

"Where are you maneuvering?" Qiu Wei already understood Zhang Wei's intentions.

"Wait for me to give the order, you two mobile platoons will join forces, shoot, attract the Japanese to the right rear, and wait until the Japanese cavalry gathers together, quickly fall down, and then I will organize the rest of the people to concentrate fire on them."

"Remember, keep your distance."

Accepting Zhang Wei's order, the four of them quickly returned to their respective platoons, Qiu Hao's two platoons of light machine gun groups and grenadier groups ran over one after another, Zhang Wei did not assign them, but put the nine grenadiers (three of Dong Erli's) and six light machine guns directly under his own command, of course, the grenadiers were directed and aimed by Dong Erli.

Fukuoka looked at the gradually clear Chinese army, as if he saw a lamb to be slaughtered, but there was no movement on the other side, and he did not give any orders, Fukuoka collected the binoculars, drew his saber, and tapped the horse's buttocks, and the Oriental horse quickly trotted up, and the other cavalrymen saw the squad leader like this, and they all increased their speed, and the 38 cavalry guns in their hands were replaced with sabers.

In the telescope on Zhang Wei's side, the Japanese army still carried out a wide frontal search of cavalry at a distance of 800 meters, and the distance was too large, so it was necessary to wait a little longer, wait until the right distance, and wait until the right position.

The soldiers of the two platoons of Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong on the right are very nervous, they have never fought with the cavalry, and the impact and deterrence of those Oriental horses are really great in the eyes of these soldiers, especially the light machine guns and grenadiers in the platoon have been withdrawn, and the soldiers are even more bottomless in their hearts, but fortunately, they are all veterans who have fought many times, and they can still stabilize under the advice of the platoon commander. Use the rifle in your hand to aim at the Japanese cavalry in the distance.

Under the command of Dong Erli, the nine grenadiers were deployed in front and behind the three foxholes, and the three groups in the foxholes were responsible for calibrating and launching the first launch, while the rest would quickly adjust the Zhuyuan according to the firing situation of the first three groups and concentrate on attacking the cavalry group.

Six light machine guns were assembled, and as soon as the Japanese cavalry assembled, they formed a dense network of fire.

In Zhang Wei's binoculars, the Japanese cavalry became clearer and clearer, more than 20 cavalrymen spread out at a distance of more than ten meters between the two, holding a saber in their hands, straddled the 38 cavalry spears diagonally, and the tall horses showed the deterrence and lethality of this historic army, Zhang Wei could feel the slight tremor and impact of the ground from such a distance, and this was just jogging.

"Don't mess up, no one is allowed to shoot, Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong platoon, listen to my gunshot, wait until the gun goes off, except for Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong platoon, no one is allowed to move, no one is allowed to shoot, violators, kill!"

The Japanese cavalry is getting closer and closer, from 800 meters to 600 meters, and then from 600 meters to 500 meters, 500 meters, 500 meters!

The Japanese cavalry also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and Fukuoka gave his first order, "Close the distance, prepare to pull the net!" ”

The herald behind Fukuoka whistled, picked up the signal flag, and gave the flag command on the horse, and the gap between the Japanese cavalry began to close!
