Chapter 477: Battle of Shandong (7)
Just when the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were fighting wits and courage around the Shandong war, the northern direction of Saibei ushered in the largest battle since the start of the war. The Japanese Kwantung Army drove a large number of Japanese puppet cavalry to Xilinhot, where the headquarters of the Suidong Army Division of the Ancient Military Region was located, and at the same time, a large number of infantry also came to the eastern Hebei region.
In order to take into account the fact that the Soviet Red Army in the Far East and the anti-coalition forces that exterminated the activities in the northeast region, especially in order to curb the sneak attack of the small troops under Li Dingguo's department, the infantry used by the Kwantung Army this time was actually very limited, even the troops attacking eastern Hebei were all raised from the vicinity of Shenyang, while the troops attacking the northern part of the country were all cavalry, and the number of infantry was extremely limited.
In the past few days, Aolige led the five most combat-effective cavalry divisions of the Suidong Military Division and Tian Jiro's headquarters to launch a chase battle on the Horqin grassland, and more than 100,000 cavalry on both sides almost overturned the grassland on the grassland. Lieutenant General Tajiro was also a cavalry commander, and although he was unfamiliar with the terrain on the steppes, he still caused huge casualties to the Aurege division with the excellent xìng ability of his horses.
However, in order to achieve the strategic goal of a sneak attack on Xilinhot, the Japanese army hid the vast majority of its troops, and when dealing with the five cavalry divisions under the command of Aurege, Tian Jiro's team was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. So for the past week, Tajiro has been playing the role of the mouse's horn, and the Aurege has been playing the cat's horn.
Zalut Flag. Ulanza Dam.
"Xiaolu, where is that cavalry in China now?" Lieutenant General Tajiro asked loudly to the newspaper operator on the side while slamming the horse under his crotch with a horsewhip.
Lieutenant Xiaolu also slapped the war horse under his crotch fiercely, ran to the side of the war horse of Lieutenant General Tajiro and said: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, two hours ago, the Chiba Wing met with a cavalry regiment of China twenty-five kilometers ahead, and the two sides immediately started a battle, but then the commander-in-chief of the China cavalry, Aurege, had already sent a cavalry division to support, and judging from their marching speed and the xìng of the war horses, the reinforcements of China were less than fifteen kilometers away from the destination. ”
"Yo Xi, Lieutenant Xiaolu, you immediately send a telegram to the Chiba Wing now, ordering them to drag that Shina Cavalry Division on the battlefield at all costs and wait for the support of the group headquarters." Tajiro said with a little excitement.
Li Tailong, commander of the Sixth Cavalry Division of the puppet Manchukuo National Defense Army on the side, complimented: "Your Excellency, although Han Yunhua's cavalry has good combat effectiveness, but this time his cavalry group only sent one division, and the war horses are not as good as ours, our army now has more than 30,000 troops, and there is also a cavalry wing to contain them, so even if Han Yunhua has a thousand abilities, he can't save this cavalry division, hehehe"
"Li Sang, don't underestimate the cavalry of Zhina, they are all real warriors, have you forgotten the cavalry detachment of Zhina that was surrounded by our large army yesterday, they would rather die in battle than surrender to the empire. All died on the way to the charge, and their courage was commendable. There is a clear difference between cavalry ground combat and infantry, cavalry has more variables, and uncertainty xìng is greater. So whether or not the people of China have become sheep under siege, we have to pay as much attention to them as we do to hungry wolves, and you work clearly? ”
"Understand Taijun, if we can wipe out the cavalry division under Han Yunhua's department, then our army will be about the same number as the cavalry unit of the bandit Aolige, and then we can fight face to face." Li Tailong is used to being powerful in the Northeast, and during this time, he was chased and beaten by Aurige's subordinates, which made him very depressed. …,
Tian Jilang said with a smile: "Li Sang, you are really loyal to the work of the Great Japanese Empire, hahaha, if you eliminate the cavalry group under Han Yunhua this time, your sixth division will wait to be expanded, and then your military rank will become a general, hehehe"
Li Tailong suddenly smiled, and said in a fart: "Thank you Taijun for your cultivation, thank you Taijun for your cultivation"
And in Bayan, less than 30 kilometers away from Tajiro's headquarters, Aolige was discussing the current war with Li Lieguang, Hu Aozhigrad, Jiang Guanglie, Tong Jiayong, Wang Zhiyong and others. As the commander-in-chief of this cavalry battle, Aurege was imperative to win this battle, and he believed that the little devils could not afford to make any trouble on the territory of their ancient clan.
"Lao Tong, where are Lu Jiang and Lao Xu now?"
Tong Jiayong thought for a while and then pointed on the map: "Here, the main force of the little devil is also rushing here, it is less than twenty kilometers away from the main battlefield, according to the estimate, the main force of the little devil should arrive when the fourth division and the devil's cavalry wing are entangled, and the strength of more than 30,000 troops of the Japanese army is enough to annihilate the fourth division." ”
"Hehehe, the little devil has a lot of appetite, take a broken cavalry wing and want to hang my Aurege fish, it's really his grandmother's greasy taste, and don't look at what kind of place this is, is it what their Oriental dogs can throw wild. If he wants to eat one of our cavalry divisions, his little devil not only has a good tooth, but also lacks a good stomach. Ten minutes later, our whole army set off, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, and when the little devils besieged Lujiang and them, we also gave them a surprise attack. ”
"It's good that your kid has been with the commander for the longest time, and he already has the skills of a commander in two layers in the war, hahaha" Tong Jiayong is a military cadre pulled up by Han Yunhua, from the company commander to the infantry brigade commander later, he fought by Han Yunhua's side, and now although he is the commander of the cavalry division, he has been transferred to Saibei, which makes him very appreciative of the Ao Liege who has stayed by Han Yunhua's side for a long time.
"Lao Tong, you guy is a dog, what does it mean to have the skill of the commander in two layers, how can I listen to how uncomfortable, okay, you kid will give Lao Tzu a good fight this time, and the commander will definitely transfer you back to the infantry after you fight, anyway, your kid is a kind of làng fee to be a cavalry and commander, and Lao Tzu will report to the commander after this battle is fought." Aurege scolded with a smile.
"Okay, I know that you are bold and bold ancient men, with your words, Lao Tzu will rest assured, although it is not bad to be a cavalryman, but there are fewer opportunities to fight little devils, which is not suitable for my Tong Jiayong's appetite. Hahaha"
Although this battle was Tian Jiro set a trap for Aurege, but Aolege was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the founder of the cavalry unit of the ancient military region was not such a straw bale, and soon judged that this was a clumsy plan of the Japanese army according to the eyes of the herdsmen, so Aolege formulated a counterattack tactic that would be calculated, hoping to use this to defeat or completely annihilate the Japanese cavalry troops in one fell swoop.
If the cavalry wing of the Japanese army was fishing for the bait of Aurege, then the 4th Cavalry Division was the bait for Tajiro, and now this huge bait is rushing towards the main battlefield according to Aurege's arrangement.
"Lao Lu, this time we can really eat the 30,000 cavalry of the little devil in one bite?" After all, Xu Shiguo, political commissar of the Fourth Division, was born in political work and had a limited understanding of combat command.
"Lao Xu, don't worry, as long as that old devil Tian Jiro can't live in yòò, then at least we can leave more than half of their troops. The little devil uses a cavalry wing as bait, it's really his grandmother's little family spirit, or the old boy who is proud of the old boy has the courage, as soon as he shoots, he is a cavalry division, our bait is really thanks to him, more than 10,000 people get bait, I feel like laughing, I just don't know if the little devil has the courage to eat us. Hehehe," Lu Jiang said with a smile. …,
"Lao Lu, the little devil has now been chased like a rabbit by us, if they don't find a way to eat our main force, I'm afraid their main force may not be able to successfully take Xilinhot. Although Commander Shen Yiquan only has a few recruit divisions in his hands, after all, it is also the armed force of our Eighth Route Army, and he is holding a horse pistol and a combat knife in his hand, not a burning stick and a kitchen knife. If our main force returns to Xilinhot at the right time, it will be impossible for the Japanese army to be undefeated under the front and rear attacks, so I think that old guy Tajiro will come. "Although Xu Shiguo is not very good at commanding troops to fight, he still has a certain strength in strategic and tactical analysis.
"Lao Xu, what you said is very reasonable, the little devil is now being bī on Liangshan, and it is difficult to ride a tiger. They had no other way to go but to take Xilinhot. So we must do a good job of this bait, hahaha, comrades, hurry up, the little devil is in front, kill kill kill"
"Kill, kill, kill"
"Kill, kill, kill"
When the 4th Cavalry Division arrived at the battlefield, the battle was at its most critical, and nearly an hour of confrontation had already caused both sides to reach the limit of physical strength. The casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, and the cavalry regiment under Han Yunhua's command now had less than 400 people left, while the cavalry wing of the Japanese army was still nearly 500 people because its establishment and number were much larger than that of the cavalry regiment under Han Yunhua's. If the Fourth Division had been half an hour late, the Chinese cavalry regiment would probably have been wiped out.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the Japanese cavalry wing that fought against the Chinese cavalry, this cavalry wing belongs to the 96th Cavalry Division of the Kwantung Army Cavalry Group, which was formed shortly after the Sino-Japanese war in 37 years, and was originally an infantry formation, but due to the needs of the war, all of them were redressed as cavalry divisions in February 1938. The number of the entire division is about 14,000 people, and one cavalry wing is about 1,380 people. And as a bait, it is the 1st Cavalry Wing of the 98th Division, the 1st Cavalry Wing is also called the Yamada Wing, because the current Wing Commander of the Cavalry Wing is called Yamada Jiaoji, with the rank of Nakasa.
As the absolute main force of the 98th Cavalry Division, the combat effectiveness of the 1st Cavalry Wing is undoubtedly strong. Fighting with the 1st Cavalry Wing was the 5th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, whose commander was called Agoura. The combat effectiveness of the 5th Cavalry Regiment is relatively poor in the entire 1st Cavalry Division, but it can be regarded as jīng sharp if it is placed in other cavalry divisions. However, the difference in the total strength of the two sides was nearly two hundred, so the 5th Cavalry Regiment had reached its limit by now, and if it weren't for the death order received, Agoura would have ordered the troops to retreat long ago. However, in order for the next battle to go smoothly, knowing that the result of the fight would be the annihilation of the whole army, Agoura still led the cavalry troops to launch attacks on the enemy again and again.
"Brethren, do you have any strength? If you have the strength, you will give Lao Tzu a roar" Agora roared in a trembling voice, and now he is covered in knife wounds, but fortunately they are not fatal, and he can barely hold on.
"Yes", "Yes", "Yes", more than three hundred soldiers shouted in unison.
"Hahaha" "It's all fucking kind, I didn't embarrass the division commander, let alone the commander, tell you, the commander of the fourth division has brought more than 10,000 troops to support us, and it won't take a few minutes for this group of *** to be torn to pieces, before that, we have to leave this group of *** on the battlefield no matter what, and we must not let them escape, otherwise we will be sorry for the political commissar, sorry for the dead brothers" "Brothers, all rush with Lao Tzu, the cavalry regiment will attack the enemy"
"Offense"
On the opposite side, the Yamada Wing, which was less than 100 meters away from the Fifth Regiment, was also wounded, and this Chinese cavalry was too difficult to deal with, and they were all suffering more than half of the casualties and still launching an attack desperately, which was a war letter to the knights of the Great Japanese Empire. …,
General Yamada Jiaoji wiped the war knife in his hand, and then shouted: "Gentlemen, our Kwantung Army claims to be the jīng Rui of the Imperial Army, but now our honor has been provoked by the Chinese cavalry, for the honor of the Kwantung Army, and even more for the glory of the Imperial Japanese Army, Yamada has asked the kings." ”
"Hail"
"The people of China have charged us again, hahaha, yo xi, the cavalry wing has it"
Following Yamada's order, all the Japanese cavalry erected their knight's swords in front of xiōng, waiting for the next order.
"Kill (Attack)"
"Ahh
This is a collision of two ** souls, and it is the jī fierce collision of the Japanese Yamato soul and the Chinese Han soul in Saibei. Both sides did not retreat, the knife rose and fell, and the blood flowed, and at this time the fight was who could hold the breath more and whose momentum was more powerful.
After a charge, only corpses and ownerless horses were left all over the ground, and there were also Japanese soldiers in the squadron, and there was not much difference in the number of people on both sides.
"Mustache, count how many more people there are," Agoura yelled.
"Report to the regiment commander, the mustache has been sacrificed, and we still have 194 people now," Qingfeng, the commander of the second battalion next to him, roared.
"Mother, brothers, Lao Tzu is no more, continue to attack the cavalry regiment and attack the enemy"
"Kill, kill, kill", "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, rush"
Just when Agoura's headquarters was halfway through the charge, he heard the sound of heavy and rapid horses galloping behind him, and before Agoura could look back, he heard the soldiers cheering loudly: "It's reinforcements, hahaha, regimental commander, our reinforcements have arrived." ”
"Hahaha, reinforcements have arrived"
"Lao Tzu is saved, hahaha"
Although Agoura's heart was also extremely moved, he did not order the troops to stop charging, he shouted to the knights beside him in a hoarse voice: "Be quiet, the reinforcements will come when they come, continue to charge Lao Tzu, don't let the little devil run away"
The knights beside Agoura also shouted: "Keep attacking" "Keep attacking"
Seeing the reinforcements of the Chinese cavalry coming, Yamada Jiaoji was not afraid or depressed, but was extremely excited. He yelled at the knights beside him: "Gentlemen, this infantry division of China has fallen into the trap of the commander, and our army of 30,000 is not far from the battlefield, as long as the cavalry group of China dares to make a move, His Excellency the Commander can eat them all, and it is a great honor to defeat a complete cavalry division of Han Yunhua's department in China, hahaha, you will charge with me, as long as we drag the people of China for two minutes, then the outcome of Saibei will be a decisive change." Kill"
"Kill"
"Kill"
The battle was soon over, and the Japanese cavalry wing lasted less than three minutes before the 4th Field Division was completely annihilated. After the battle, Lu Jiang did not order the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately, but instead ordered the troops to prepare for battle, as if waiting for something to come.
At this time, there were less than 80 people left in the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, and after seeing Lu Jiang, Agoura said in a trembling voice: "The commander of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Suidong Army Division of the National ** Army reported to the chief that the 5th Regiment had successfully completed the containment task, please instruct"
"Report on the current situation of your regiment"
"Report to the chief, the 5th regiment should have reached 1,212 people, but it was 92 people, 1,120 people were killed in battle, there were no serious wounded, and 92 people were lightly wounded, please instruct"
"Take a break, let the hygienist bandage you, there will be a big battle next, it is impossible to withdraw from the battle now, hurry up and eat and drink, recover your strength, wait a minute, I will send a cavalry battalion to supplement your regiment, even if the 5th regiment of the first cavalry division dies, the establishment cannot be erased by the little devils, understand?"
"Understand, thank you, chief, for your concern"
Lu Jiang was moved by the group of men in front of him, looking at Agoura's cracked tiger's mouth and the bleeding wounds and dozens of lonely figures behind Agoura, Lu Jiang's mood was extremely heavy, there were more than 80 wounded in a whole cavalry regiment in one morning, Lu Jiang didn't know how to describe his mood. But Lu Jiang also knows that there is an iron law of war in war, opportunities and risks are equal for both sides, and they have to pay the casualties of a cavalry regiment as soon as they eat a cavalry wing, which is nothing more than a loss.
