The little devil has always been arrogant and has no one in his eyes, and this Nishimura Shaozuo is particularly serious, and he simply doesn't know the sky. However, there is also a certain reason, in the era of cold weapons, cavalry can be described as invincible, and it is definitely the strongest class, and there is no one. Therefore, all countries in the world are paying great attention to the development of cavalry, and Japan is no exception.

However, as we all know, Japan is only a small country, the land is small, the land is barren, and the resources are scarce, and it is impossible for a country like this to train a large number of cavalry, so the Japanese cavalry is definitely a scarce type of troops, especially before the Meiji Restoration, the cavalry of that period was basically composed of nobles and high-ranking samurai. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan continued to expand its armaments, and the cavalry also developed rapidly, although the cavalry at this time was not an aristocratic class, but it inherited the arrogance of the ancient cavalry. Although after World War I, the role of cavalry gradually weakened, and it was difficult to adapt to modern warfare, so all countries at that time were reducing cavalry in large quantities, and Japan was no exception.

By the time of World War II, the cavalry had almost completely lost its usefulness, but even after being continuously dismantled, these almost useless Japanese cavalry remained as proud as ever, believing that they were superior to others and even looked down on infantry at all. Especially a cavalry general like Xiang Nishimura Shaosa, this Nishimura Shaoza is a Japanese nobleman, and his ancestors have been Japanese cavalry generals for generations, and he himself has the title of baron. Born in such a family and nurtured for a long time, Nishimura Shaozo has been proud and complacent since he was a child, with no one in his eyes, self-righteousness, and his psychology is inflated thinking that he is the first in the world and invincible in the world.

As the captain of the cavalry brigade, Nishimura Shaoza has been in China for two or three years, and he thought that he could make meritorious contributions, but he has never found an opportunity, and his cavalry brigade has been arranged near Shimen, responsible for patrolling along the Pinghan Railway and protecting the safety of the railway, which can be said to be used as a patrol team. Because at this time, the cavalry has completely declined, and it cannot play any role on the battlefield at all, and the consumption of cavalry is much greater than that of infantry, and the money spent on training a cavalry is enough to train a squad of infantry.

However, this time Nishimura Shaozo finally received an important task, that is, to quickly reinforce the Longquangu Bridge, because the cavalry was highly mobile, and it happened to be not far from the Longquangu Bridge at that time, so he received this task. However, Nishimura Shaozo hurried to catch up or slow down, and before he arrived at the Longquangu Bridge, he received news that the bridge had been lost, and the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters ordered them to return to the station immediately, fearing that they would be wiped out by the main force of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and it would be a shame.

However, the arrogant Nishimura Shaosa refused to let go of this opportunity to perform meritorious service, and he wanted to prove to the military department with practical actions that cavalry is not useless in modern warfare. Therefore, after receiving the order to retreat, Nishimura Shaoza did not immediately order the troops to retreat, but he did not rush to Longquangu Bridge, but temporarily stopped to rest and look for fighters.

It can be regarded as Nishimura Shaoza's luck, he happened to run into a reconnaissance company of the independent regiment, with a total of more than 50 soldiers, so the battle took place, Nishimura Shaoza's cavalry brigade easily defeated the reconnaissance company, and then found Liu Hong's vanguard.

Nishimura Shaozuo, who was inflated with confidence, naturally would not let go of this opportunity to perform meritorious service, so he desperately launched an attack order again, hoping to eliminate Liu Hong's vanguard in one fell swoop.

With Nishimura Shaozuo's order, the devil cavalry immediately gave up and continued to pursue and kill the remaining dozen or so soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were scattered and fled, and all of them rushed towards the vanguard under the leadership of Nishimura Shaoza.

Liu Hong led the soldiers all the way towards the river embankment, took the time to look back, and when he saw the devil's cavalry rushing towards this side like a whirlwind and clouds, Liu Hong's face also changed greatly, and he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Brothers! Speed up and be sure to rush up the river embankment before the devil cavalry catches up! Fast~! Fast~! ”

There is no need for Liu Hong to remind, the soldiers also know how dangerous the situation is now, once they are caught up by the devil's cavalry, even if they are not hacked to death by the little devil's saber, they will be collided with and trampled to death by the galloping war horse. And it will die quite miserably, so the soldiers all used their strength to feed, and ran all the way forward, just wanting to run up to the river as soon as possible, although that may not necessarily be able to stop the devil's cavalry, but at least there is a glimmer of life, it is better than waiting for death.

However, no matter how desperately the warriors ran, it was impossible to outrun the galloping horses, and the distance between the two sides was still shrinking rapidly.

Nishimura Shaozo looked at the Eighth Route Army that was getting closer and closer, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Imperial warriors, let these damn Dirt Eight Roads see the power of our Great Japanese Cavalry, and we must not let them rush up the river embankment, stop them, and kill them all~!" Kill and give~! ”

Nishimura Shaoza's cry greatly boosted the morale of the devils, and the little devils were also excited one by one, shouting loudly urging the sat war horse to continue to gallop forward, and the distance continued to close, six hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters.

At this time, the excited little devils took off their carbines, raised their carbines and aimed at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were running in the distance.

At this time, several fighters suddenly stopped, turned around and shot at the little devils, and a crisp gunshot rang out, and several little devils were shot and fell off their horses.

"Don't stop! Keep on rushing forward! Fast! No one is allowed to stop, no one is allowed to turn back! That's an order! Liu Hong shouted loudly at the top of his throat. Because Liu Hong knew very well in his heart that if they turned back and resisted at this time, although they could also kill some little devils, the final result would definitely be broken by the devil's cavalry in one fell swoop, but they became the target of the devil's cavalry, and finally the whole army was wiped out, such an ending was definitely not what Liu Hong wanted to see, and their only hope was to rush to the river embankment as soon as possible.

The soldiers of the vanguard were all elite soldiers, and the order was forbidden. Liu Hong gave an order, no one stopped, no one even turned back, everyone used their last strength and continued to rush forward.

Speaking of a long time, in fact, only two or three minutes have passed since the discovery of the devil cavalry, and these two or three minutes are enough to decide the outcome of the battle, and enough to decide the life and death of the vanguard soldiers. Looking at the riverbank that was close at hand, Liu Hong roared loudly again: "Keep rushing!" Rush to the embankment! ”
