Chapter 601: Cockscomb Mountain Foot Cavalry Battle II
"Slash, slash! Shoot, shoot! ”
With the new orders of the Japanese officers, the Japanese cavalry circled around the Cockscomb Mountain one after another, raising their guns and firing at the same time.
As a result, the hit rate of the independent battalion on the mountain suddenly plummeted, but the sound of the thunder intensified at the same time.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Yaga!"
The longitudinal horse was on the downhill slope of Kimura Shige, and at this time he finally figured out the connection, and he was so angry that he scolded 'Wow'.
"Rush up——, I'm going to cut off all their heads, one by one!"
Second Lieutenant Genichiro Minami, the leader of the third cavalry squad, took out the oriental sword at his waist and waved the knife angrily, not knowing that at the height of his line, he was so conspicuous with a stupid pen wielding a war knife.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Suddenly, as long as the route of his war horse rushed through, there was a crackling sound of a 'pop' tree being shot.
Ignorant and fearless, Genichiro Minami waved his knife from the north slope of Rooster Crown Mountain to the west slope, and happened to come to the three big trees tied to the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and couldn't help but slow down the reins of the horse, raised his head to look at the top of the tree, and yelled with a sad and angry face: "You clear dogs-"
"Bang!"
"Hit, hit!"
"Headshot! Haha-"
Obviously, Genichiro Minami is a coaxing style, and he is very hateful; Seeing that he was shot in the head by a rifle, there was cheering on the position of the second company and three platoons on the top of the mountain.
"Shoot! Shoot! ”
Hearing the order, the Japanese troops drove their horses in circles and rode on their horses, raising their guns to shoot back at the soldiers of the independent battalion on the top of the mountain.
The rifles in the hands of the cavalry brigade were all captured by the Qing army's Mauser fast guns, and at this time they raised their guns to shoot at the independent battalion, although they occupied the disadvantage of the terrain, but with intensive shooting, the soldiers of the independent battalion were soon shot and killed.
"Hit! Hit hard! ”
Huang Bojie lay behind three pine trees that were fixed side by side, more than one meter high, and shouted while holding a gun to catch a Japanese cavalryman shooting at him.
"Boom!"
Another unlucky horse stepped on a dry mine buried in the snow, and together with the cavalry on the horse, it was blown apart.
"Shoot, shoot immediately and ferociously!"
As the officers of the Japanese cavalry unit shouted angrily, the gunfire on the cockscomb mountain became more violent, and the Japanese cavalry gradually approached the top of the mountain in the layer of losses.
By this time in the battle, the number of Japanese soldiers killed and seriously wounded was no less than 110, while the anti-Japanese army had a casualty rate of less than 20 people.
Kimura Shige, who ran to the mountainside to supervise the battle, although there was no accurate casualty data, but just by visual inspection, he knew that the imperial cavalry had suffered heavy losses in this battle, and a pair of eyes had already turned blood-red.
If he can't take this small mountain in such a battle, he will simply have no shame to live!
"Long live the Empire, long live the Emperor!"
Kimura shouted with a shout: "If you can't capture the Qing army's position today, all the soldiers will commit suicide to apologize, and your family will suffer for generations!" ”
Kimura Shige's hand was indeed vicious enough, and the Japanese soldiers who heard the order had blood-red eyes, and they no longer went around in circles, they all straightened their horses' heads and went straight again.
While yelling, he raised his gun and shot at the top of the hill.
"Shoot, shoot!"
Huang Bojie, deputy battalion commander of the independent battalion and commander of the battalion military law, Hua Ruiyang, commander of the second company, You Dajiang, deputy company commander, and Fan Wenbin, commander of the military law of the company, all shouted orders in their respective defense areas.
The gunfire on the top of the hill became more and more intense, and the five brigades of the Japanese cavalry, after paying nearly one hundred and thirty people dead.
The remaining 260 or so cavalry finally approached the position of the independent battalion on the top of the hill, and the two sides fired fiercely from a distance of about 50 meters.
At this time, the independent battalion still had 300 soldiers in Jiguan Mountain, still occupying the advantage of the terrain and fiercely blocking the offensive of the Japanese cavalry.
"Charge, charge!"
With Kimura Shige's yell, all the Japanese soldiers rushed on their horses, and at the same time lowered their rifles, drew the large blades behind their backs, and prepared to reap the final victory in the bloody battle.
At this time, Kimura Shigege is simply a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Happily, this extremely difficult hard bone was finally gnawed down by himself at any cost.
As long as the imperial cavalry rushed to the top of the mountain, and the cavalry relied on their war horses and broadswords to rush and sprint, and jointly strangle, it was easy to kill these damn Qing troops.
However, the losses in this battle were absolutely extremely tragic!
"Yu—"
"Yaga! Bastard! Bastard! ”
At this time, suddenly from the cavalry shock group near the top of the mountain, there was the neighing of war horses, and there was an angry curse, and the war horses and the soldiers above turned their horses on their backs.
Kimura Shige's heart jumped suddenly, and he looked towards the top of the mountain in confusion.
"Yaga! Bastard! Pig! Beasts, beasts, pigs and dogs—"
Kimura Shige was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and his mouth was full of all kinds of filthy scolding.
I had been charging at the top of the mountain before, and I didn't notice the defensive settings on the Qing army's position on the top of the mountain.
At this time, Kimura Shige was disgraced to see that the cunning Qing army actually made a large landslide with a width of more than two meters with melted snow and wooden sticks on the periphery of the position.
Then a shallow layer of snow was laid on top of the landslide, and the imperial soldiers who didn't know the situation and the war horses under their crotches were hit one after another, either sliding down, or falling down directly.
"Hit!"
The soldiers of the independent battalion on the top of the hill all stood up one after another and shot face to face at the Japanese horse herd less than ten meters below.
"Ahh
"Yu—"
"Yaga!"
Suddenly, the long slope seemed to have become an insurmountable death belt, and a large number of Japanese cavalry in distress were shot and planted their horses in pieces.
"Retreat, retreat!"
At this time, Kimura Shige's dead heart was gone, and he yelled and ordered the cavalry to withdraw from the battle line.
Two lines of hot tears flowed down Kimura Shige's eyes, and they couldn't be stopped any longer.
"Retreat!"
The Japanese officers who heard the order shouted desperately and ordered the cavalry to withdraw from the battle immediately.
"Retreat! Fall back! ”
As the Japanese cavalry turned around and fled down the hillside, the hilltop battlefield with corpses left behind soon subsided.
Then, a huge cry rolled and echoed at the top of the mountain.
"Victory! Victory! ”
"We're victorious!"
All the soldiers of the anti-Japanese army frantically danced the rifles in their hands and yelled loudly to vent the excitement and joy in their hearts.
"It was reported that 36 soldiers of the unit were killed and 11 were seriously wounded; But if you don't get immediate treatment—"
Fan Wenbin's voice couldn't help but lower.
"Try to save as much as possible!"
A ray of sadness appeared on Huang Bojie's face, and now the independent battalion is hanging alone outside the pass, and nine times out of ten the seriously injured are killed.
"These damn dogs!"
"Bang!"
Hua Ruiyang saw that under the landslide, an undead Japanese soldier was lying under a dead war horse and howled in a low voice, raising his gun and killing the Japanese soldier with one shot.
"Don't talk about that, let's boil horse broth and drink it at noon today; Let the injured brothers also drink a bowl of hot soup, there is a great credit to them! ”
As he spoke, You Dajiang's tears began to bubble up uncontrollably.
"This soup—"
Hua Ruiyang, the commander of the second company, looked at the south and said bitterly: "It is estimated that we will have to wait until after the next battle." ”
In the sight of everyone on the top of the mountain, they were surprised to see that in the river to the south, a long contingent of Japanese infantry, carrying several Japanese military flags, rushed towards Cockscomb Mountain.
