Ambush, commonly known as ambush, was widely used in ancient Chinese warfare. The "Sun Tzu Shi Chapter" of the www.biquge.info of the pen and the fun and the pavilion contains: "Move it with profit, and treat it with a pawn." The Northern Song Dynasty's "Hundred Battles and Strange Laws" also has: "Whoever fights with the enemy, he will be foolish and will not know how to change, and he can be tempted to benefit." He is greedy for profit and does not know harm, but he can set up an ambush to strike at him".

The location of the ambush is generally chosen on the road that the enemy must pass, and the location where the enemy's troops can be deployed and firepower can be deployed in a covert manner, so as to facilitate the sudden launch of an attack, encirclement and annihilation of the enemy, and capture the enemy, and facilitate rapid transfer, but is not conducive to the enemy's counterattack and escape from the encirclement.

The action of ambush warfare should be swift and concealed, the news should be tightly sealed, and the camouflage of the ambush area should be done well. The command of ambush warfare should be flexible and resolute, the battle should be launched at the right time, the firepower should be suddenly and violently concentrated, and the enemy should be taken by surprise to attack bravely and fiercely, and the battle should be completely annihilated quickly.

And ambushing the cavalry with infantry is definitely a technical job, if the high mobility of the cavalry cannot be restrained, even if the infantry runs and breaks its leg, there is no way to catch up with the four-legged cavalry, whether to fight or to withdraw, everything is up to the cavalry.

In the plans of the kamikaze commandos, always strive for a one-hit hit. Kitaro Osa ordered Koyamauchi Nakasa, even if the first wave of attack of the Second Infantry Brigade could not kill Huang Haoran, he must try to kill and injure the war horses, so that Huang Haoran's cavalry would lose the ability to maneuver. In this way, there is the possibility of encirclement and culling.

Nakasa Koyamauchi divided all the forces of his brigade into three parts: flank attack, blocking attack, and tail attack, focusing on flank attacks, and implementing the tactics of "blocking the head, cutting the waist, and cutting the tail". In the area of the stone bridge, the Yamanouchi Brigade put in a squadron, which was responsible for the plugging. One of the remaining two squadrons was responsible for cutting the waist, and the other was responsible for blocking the tail.

At this moment, by the small stone bridge in front of the Hu family's shack, the firepower configuration of the Xiaoshan Brigade is as follows:

Six crooked machine-guns formed a crossfire, which was responsible for blocking the entire bridge deck, and behind the machine-gun positions were fifty-millimeter grenadiers.

Four Type 92 heavy machine guns, the most effective firepower of the Yamauchi Brigade at present, were deployed on the river beaches on both sides of the bridge, responsible for flank strafing. This is to maximize the machine-gun firepower.

The emergence of machine guns has changed the laws of modern warfare, and both cavalry and infantry have abandoned dense formations in the face of powerful machine gun fire, and instead used skirmishers to attack.

If the machine gun is placed on the front of the defensive position, the thickness of the area covered by the bullet is far less effective than that of shooting from the side, because even in the three-line wave of skirmishers, the thickness of the machine-gun fire is at most 3-5 people, and the thickness of the strafing from the side will be equal to the width of the entire skirmish.

Let's put it another way of saying that when a machine gun fires a strafing fire, if a frontal shot is used, then when the entire skirmish line is penetrated, the bullet has no more killing targets, and the machine gunner can only turn the muzzle and choose a new target from the lateral range.

And if the machine gun is set on the flank, assuming that there are fifty people on the skirmish line of the enemy's attack, then as long as it is within the effective range of the machine gun, it is equivalent to fifty people lined up in a column under the covering fire of the machine gun, and the shooter does not need to adjust too much, only needs to shoot the bullets intensively, which can cause a lot of damage.

Therefore, when setting up a defensive position, the most correct option is to place the machine guns on the flanks of the position, and not on the front.

Nakasa Koyamauchi is definitely a connoisseur of using machine guns.

Now, just waiting for Huang Haoran to come to the door.

The squadron in charge of blocking the tail had already spotted the vanguard of Huang Haoran's guards five minutes ago, about 30 horsemen, and was coming towards the small stone bridge at this moment.

Unexpectedly, in the hinterland of the inner line of the Chinese army, Huang Haoran still released the scouts, which brought a lot of trouble to Xiaoshan Zhongzuo.

For a full five minutes, even if the cavalry did not advance at full speed, the horses under their crotches could run a distance of one or two kilometers. However, until now, there has been no new news from the squadron in charge of blocking the tail, which shows that Huang Haoran's scouts have been placed quite far away.

If there was an encounter between the Chinese army and the Japanese army during this time, Huang Haoran, who was far behind, would definitely rely on the high speed of the cavalry to quickly open up the distance between him and the line of fire after hearing the gunshots. In that case, if the kamikaze commandos want to catch up with Huang Haoran and carry out the siege, it will consume a lot of time.

But for kamikaze commandos, what they lack most is time.

You can't startle the snake! These Chinese cavalry must be let through the Hu family's shack, and wait until the main force of Huang Haoran's guards has entered the ambush circle, so that they can free up their hands to clean up these scouts.

As soon as he made up his mind, he ordered the infantry squadron that had been placed at the bridgehead and was ready to block the bridge deck with machine-gun fire to withdraw quickly, and that no traces of the formation of positions should be left behind, and all possible exposed areas must be camouflaged.

At this time, the moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, and there were not many stars in the night sky.

It couldn't have been more coincidental, as the Japanese troops on the west side of the bridge had just withdrawn, and a group of cavalry appeared on the east side of the bridge.

Huang Haoran's scout is here!

Riding a black horse at the forefront was Hao Daoguo, the commander of the seventh company of the guard regiment, and Xu Zilong's henchman. Behind Hao Daoguo was a platoon of troops.

As one of the 519 people around Huang Haoran, including Hao Daodao, they were all selected from the guard regiment to ride horses. They were originally infantrymen, and the war horses were just mobile tools, and they did not understand the tactical movements that cavalry should master at all, and they were not equipped with the equipment needed for cavalry operations.

Therefore, if they encounter the enemy, Hao Dao's men and horses will only be able to dismount and fight, and return to their familiar infantry status.

Huang Haoran plans to pass through the Hu family's shack, and the situation here in Xiaoshiqiao must be clarified, a company commander and a platoon of forward scouts, Xu Zilong's arrangement is very much in line with the importance of Xiaoshiqiao.

There were still four or five hundred meters away from the small stone bridge, and Hao Daodao felt that something was wrong. Tonight, it was really quiet and a little excessive, and the Hu family's shack across the river did not have a trace of light, and the people there seemed to have fallen asleep.

There was a hint of a dangerous smell in the air.

"Brothers, be careful, something is wrong......"

Company Commander Hao turned his head and whispered to his subordinates to be on guard, and opened the safety of the Thomson submachine gun in his hand.

The officers and men of the Guards Regiment were not armed with cavalry rifles, and although the Thomson submachine gun had fierce firepower, it also had the disadvantage of having a relatively short range. Compared with the Mosin Nagant rifle, the Thomson submachine gun has an effective range of only 200 meters, which is only suitable for medium and close combat.

That is to say, if there is really an enemy army on the small stone bridge at this time, with the rifle in hand, Hao Daodao and they will only be beaten. (To be continued.) )
