Chapter 259: Strafing began
The cavalry battalion of the Pingding County Independent Regiment and the cavalry wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army began to collide together, and the sound of "Qiang Qiang" metal collision continued to sound.
Huang Gang and Huang Guohua skillfully used sabers to cut through the abdomen of the Japanese cavalry, and a Japanese cavalryman began to fall off his horse, blood flowed out of the wounds of the Japanese cavalry, and the ground began to be stained red with blood.
The most primitive face-to-face combat had already begun, and the Japanese cavalry had an advantage in numbers, and they had obviously gained a certain advantage in battle.
But the cavalry battalions, under the leadership of their respective commanders, showed great courage, and they did not have the slightest fear in the face of the large number of Japanese cavalry.
Ge Haifeng, the deputy commander of the third cavalry company, held the saber in his right hand, and all the Japanese cavalry that approached him would be easily dealt with by him.
A Japanese captain noticed Ge Haifeng's extraordinary move, and the captain urged his horse to rush towards Ge Haifeng.
The sharp saber glittered with rumors in the sunlight, and Ge Haifeng watched the Japanese captain keep approaching him, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The war horse was advancing, Ge Haifeng held the saber tightly with his right hand, and when the Japanese captain's saber stabbed towards Ge Haifeng's abdomen, Ge Haifeng hurriedly resisted with the saber, and at the same time his right hand moved quickly, the sharp tip of the saber cut through the throat of the Japanese captain, and blood spurted out along the throat of the Japanese captain.
The Japanese captain had an unwilling expression on his face, but his body fell off his horse limply.
The stirrup wrapped around the right foot of the Japanese captain, and the war horse dragged the Japanese captain along, and the Japanese captain's face was unrecognizable after a while.
It's just that the Japanese captain no longer feels the slightest pain, and he has long lost any breath.
The primitive fighting of the cavalry continued, and almost every second someone fell from their horses.
The war horses that lost their owners kept running, and some of the war horses that were in love with their owners stayed on the battlefield, and they gently hit their masters who fell to the ground with their heads.
But their owners have long since lost signs of life, and no matter what they do, they will not get a response from their master.
While the cavalry of the two sides were engaged in a battle, the two Japanese tank squadrons stopped advancing.
After the twenty tanks rushed out of the smoke, the sight of the armored soldiers inside the tanks became clear, but now that the Chinese and Japanese cavalry had been mixed up, they had no way to shoot, and once they started shooting, they would inevitably injure their own people by mistake.
After deliberation with two Japanese armored captains, they decided to leave the tank in place and wait for an opportunity to shoot.
You must know that the cavalry fight is to use the power of the war horse to sprint, which means that after the troops of the cavalry battalion fight with the Japanese cavalry, they will appear in front of the tank, and what the Japanese armored soldiers are waiting for is this opportunity.
As soon as the cavalry battalion appears in front of the tanks, twenty tanks will begin to fire the most ferocious, and they will finish off all the cavalry of the cavalry battalion.
Similarly, the troops of the cavalry battalion will appear in front of the tanks, and the Japanese cavalry units will appear in front of the machine gun company of the cavalry battalion.
However, Zhao Wei did not dare to wait, because he knew very well what kind of threat the tank would pose to the cavalry.
The two cannons were quickly loaded into the truck, which quickly drove towards the flank.
Six infantry guns began to aim their guns at the Japanese tanks, and grenade bombs were fired at the Japanese tanks.
Because of the distance between the two sides, although the grenade hit the tank's armor and exploded on the tank's armor, it did not pose much threat to the tank.
After all, the toy tanks of the Japanese army are tanks, they have a certain thickness of armor, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the tank at long distances without using special armor-piercing shells.
Grenades fired by infantry guns can be devastating against light and heavy machine guns and infantry, but they are obviously ineffective against Japanese tanks at long distances.
The Japanese tanks were shelled by grenades, and two Japanese armored captains immediately began to counterattack.
The tank's turret began to turn, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the distant sky.
The shells were loaded, and as the tank began to tremble, one shell after another was fired.
Twenty tanks concentrated their tank guns and fired at the six infantry guns, but what the tank armorers never dreamed of was that after the gunners of the six infantry guns fired grenades, the artillerymen quickly pushed the infantry guns and moved away.
Like the Japanese Type 41 Mountain Artillery, the Type 92 Infantry Gun was very lightweight, and a few artillerymen were able to push the infantry gun for rapid transfer.
The distance between the tank and the infantry gun is more than a kilometer, and the infantry gun is difficult to pose a threat to the tank at this distance.
But it was not easy for the Japanese tank guns to destroy the infantry guns that could be pushed around with a few artillerymen.
The attention of the tank was completely attracted by the six infantry guns, and as soon as the artillerymen pushed the infantry guns for a diversion, they would fire shells.
The first grenade hit the tank's armor without causing any damage, but the second grenade hit the armor in the same position, and the tank was visibly under pressure.
The armor inside the tank quickly locked, and they fired shells quickly, but the infantry guns moved quickly.
Infantry artillery and tanks engaged in guerrilla warfare, and the tanks' attention was completely attracted to them, and they began to ignore the situation on their flanks.
The two trucks drove along the flank of the battlefield where the cavalry duel, and Zhao Wei couldn't help frowning as he watched the cavalry of the Chinese and Japanese sides gradually separate.
Once the cavalry battalion appeared in front of the tanks, the consequences were unimaginable, and he hurriedly urged the drivers to speed up their march.
The speed of the truck increased, and after a while, the truck quickly detoured behind the Japanese tank.
After the six infantry guns fired dozens of shells, four Japanese Type 95 tanks were damaged tracks, and the turrets of two Type 95 tanks were destroyed.
However, six infantry guns began to pay the price, and two infantry guns were destroyed by shells fired by Japanese tank guns because they did not have time to move.
The Chinese and Japanese cavalry gradually separated, and the decisive battle site was littered with the corpses of the cavalry battalion in gray uniforms and the corpses of Japanese cavalry in yellow uniforms.
The smell of blood covered the air, and the sabers and sabers of the surviving cavalry were dripping with bright red blood.
Seeing the opportunity, the two Japanese armored captains did not hesitate in the slightest, and the tank machine guns began to fire rapidly.
