7.44 Iron wall

It's not that Ezaki Juncao didn't have any gains, at least his body was "captured" with Zhou Changshan's Chinese sword! After this round of confrontation, Zhou Changshan returned to the queue of the cavalry battalion of the 99th Army, as soon as he stopped his horse, a soldier came to help him treat his wounds with Yunnan Baiyao, the Japanese lost the first round, but Zhou Changshan could not play again!

"Camp! We don't have anyone to fight now! Do it! ”

Jiang Zaibin whispered that Chu Xiongfei should do it immediately, using the kung fu of Zhou Changshan and the devil cavalry just now, Jiang Zaibin had already changed the bullets for his two Mauser pistols, although there were many Japanese cavalry in front of the devil Zhongzuo, but as long as he could be taken by surprise, Jiang Zaibin felt that he had every chance to kill his prey!

Now just wait for Chu Xiongfei to give an order!

"That's all there is to it! What a pity! Reinforcements still haven't arrived! Hopefully we can hit it right away! Gain more time for the follow-up troops! ”

Chu Xiongfei's right hand, hidden under the front of the military uniform, slowly touched the drawstring of the grenade, and he told Jiang Zaibin with his eyes that the countdown was going to start now!

"Eight Tooth Road! The competition just now doesn't count! Not counts! You've used insidious tricks! ”

Asakura Shaozo jumped out at the right time again, I really don't know that every time he appears, it is mixed with anger, is this kid usually eating gunpowder?

Chu Xiongfei didn't plan to talk to the devil anymore, he was going to launch a strong attack now!

Chu Xiongfei and Jiang Zaibin's several cavalrymen had already learned the battle plan of their camp, and now seeing Chu Xiongfei's expression began to turn cold, they immediately grabbed the battle knife in their hands!

Ryozo Ono felt that he couldn't tolerate Asakura Shaosa's stupidity anymore! Just lost the first round and shouted that it didn't count, isn't this a shame for the imperial army?

The iron-faced Ono Ryozo Nakasa came to Asakura Shaosa's side, and then raised his arm to give Asakura Shaosa a slap, but after Ono Ryozo Nakasa's arm was raised, it didn't fall again......

At the far end of the main road, three red flares shot straight into the sky! Then the ground began to shake violently! From both ends of the road, a group of huge black shadows pressed towards the 17th Cavalry Brigade, and in the sun, these black shadows exuded an icy aura!

The roar of the machines and the dust that rolled up all indicated that the 17th Cavalry Brigade was about to encounter a mechanized force! And this mechanized unit is armed with a large number of combat vehicles!

Ono Ryozo Nakasa knew that there were not many chariots in the army of the Wuhan government!

After the Xinhai Revolution, China entered the era of warlord secession, and the Nationalist government and various warlords in Guangzhou began to have small mechanized armored forces, mainly some self-made ironclad cars, trucks and ironclad trains, and most of them were used for decoration, only Zhang Zuolin's Fengjun mechanized troops were relatively large and often used to participate in the war.

After the Feng army was annexed to the Nanjing government, it was renamed the "Northeast Army", and they did not hand over the precious and rare armored vehicles to Nanjing, and later these tanks basically fell into the hands of the Japanese Kwantung Army during the "September 18 Incident".

In March 1929, the Nanjing government used 18 full-tracked British-made heavy machine gun vehicles handed over by the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance to form the "Army Teaching First Division Combat Fleet" in Nanjing, and in 1932, the Nanjing Government felt that the combat convoy was not suitable for the jurisdiction of the infantry division, and it was reassigned to the "Second Army Traffic Corps" mainly for the purpose of baggage, and was stationed in the Nanjing Tongguang Barracks to facilitate logistics maintenance. Later, in 1934, the Central Army purchased the British-made Vickers light chariot, and only then expanded the chariot fleet in the second regiment of the traffic corps into a chariot battalion, and then the battalion was reorganized and subordinated to the "Army Traffic School Chariot Training Battalion", because there were few vehicles and little experience, but it was only to play the role of teaching troops.

It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in July 1937 that the Nationalist Army established the "Army Armored Corps" in Fangshan, Nanjing, although it was called the "Armored Corps", in fact, it was just a mixture of the chariot battalion during the training battalion period and some newly purchased German-made 37 anti-aircraft guns, Harley-Davidson locomotives, German-made armored vehicles, and German-made Type 1 combat vehicles.

In other words, the total number of combat vehicles owned by the Chinese armored forces during the Battle of Xuzhou was only a few dozen! Moreover, these tanks were also partially destroyed by the Japanese in the battles of Songhu and Nanjing!

Now the 17th Cavalry Brigade actually met the Chinese tank units north of the Huai River? And it seems that there are a lot of them! What kind of luck does it take?

"The main force turns back and forms an impact formation! You have to break through now! ”

After the initial shock, Ryozo Ono regained his composure, and he immediately gave the order to concentrate his forces to break through!

Although it is not clear what kind of mechanized troops of the Chinese army are, Ono Ryozo Nakasa is ready to escape!

"Now is the time! Beat! ”

The panic of the Japanese army is the gospel of the cavalry battalion! Although Chu Xiongfei didn't understand when the 25th Army had mechanized troops, it wasn't that he had to think about now!

The best time he had been waiting for to attack had come like this!

Chu Xiongfei's movements were very fast, he quickly threw all the grenades, and then reached out to catch the Mauser pistol thrown by Jiang Zaibin, urging the war horse to kill Ono Ryozo Nakasa!

The officers and men of the cavalry battalion followed! They want to take advantage of the chaos of the Japanese cavalry to show their skills!

"Kill!" "Smack! Syllable! ”

Jiang Zaibin raised his gun and hit the two Japanese cavalrymen in front of him, and then shot two shots at Ryozo Ono in the cavalry group!

A loyal Japanese cavalryman rushed out of the spur and became a substitute for Ryozo Ono! It wasn't until he saw the cavalry next to him being shot and landed that Ono Ryozo Nakasa suddenly remembered that there was a small group of Chinese cavalry opposite his cavalry brigade!

"Third Squad! Veer! Destroy all the Chinese cavalry! ”

The successive steering orders caused a rare confusion among the well-trained Japanese cavalry! Suddenly, the formation of the 17th Cavalry Brigade was in chaos!

Ryozo Ono's breakthrough attack is naturally also in the soup!

"Infantry artillery! Fire! ”

The commander of the 2nd Battalion, standing on the body of the military truck, ordered the Type 92 infantry guns on the vehicle to fire, and although the artillerymen who operated the guns had never had the experience of firing from a speeding car, with their experience and extraordinary luck, four shells fell in the middle of the Japanese cavalry brigade in the first salvo!

Where every shell landed, no man or horse could survive within a radius of three or four meters! Four shells, clearing four small clearings in the dense formation of the 17th Cavalry Brigade!

A name flashed through Ono Ryozo Nakasa's mind---- "Chariot Cannon"! It seems that the bad luck of the 17th Cavalry Brigade today is really coming home!

No matter what these Chinese cavalry are taken! Now the most important thing is to break through, on one side of the road is a dense forest and a stream, which is difficult for the cavalry to cross, but on the other side is a hillside, from which the Chinese cavalry killed! In other words, the war horse can pass through the area behind the hillside!

"Turn! Veer! Towards the hillside! Impact! ”

This time, Ryozo Ono learned to be obedient when he gave orders, and instead of using empty tactical passwords, he directly pointed out the target of the attack! His cavalry shouldn't be wrong this time, right!?

The Japanese cavalry who heard the order began to run towards the hillside in a swarm, and the Japanese cavalry who did not hear the order chose to follow the footsteps of most of the people after hesitating for a moment, and soon, Chu Xiongfei found that his cavalry battalion had changed from an attacker to a defensive!

Although the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion desperately brandished their knives and rifles equipped with bayonets, they were helplessly outnumbered, and the main force of the devil cavalry rushed over from the side of the cavalry battalion!

"Camp! What to do! The devil is going to escape from the back of the hill!! Our reinforcements won't climb the mountain! ”

Zhou Changshan also believed that the reinforcements of the cavalry battalion were an armored force, and this misunderstanding was caused by the fact that Chen Shanhe, the commander of the 536th Regiment, had done too successful in camouflage work. Chen Shanhe ordered all trucks to be tied with tree branches at the back, and they must make a dusty momentum! He did this in order to prevent the Japanese from seeing the reality of the 2nd Battalion too early, but he didn't expect that now even several officers of the cavalry battalion were deceived by him!

"Turn around! Go after that devil Nakasa! I don't believe that the devil cavalry dares to ignore their commander? Will definitely come back! ”

Chu Xiongfei gritted his teeth and made up his mind to fight to the death! Even if the cavalry battalion is martyred, it will also stumble on the legs of the devil cavalry!

"Up! Cavalry battalion! Charge! ”

Chu Xiongfei took his remaining brothers and raised their sabers to chase after him!

***************************************************

"Hit!"

Kang Jinyuan, the commander of the 1st battalion on the hillside, had been waiting for a long time, in fact, according to the order of the regiment commander Chen Shanhe, the 1st battalion should have opened fire when it saw three red signal flares, but the Chinese cavalry mixed in the Japanese cavalry team made Kang Jinyuan choose to disobey!

Kang Jinyuan witnessed the whole process of the cavalry battle between Zhou Changshan and the devil army Cao, and he also noticed that the cavalry battalion took action after the infantry artillery of the 2nd battalion opened fire! Kang Jin Yuan really hoped that his people would be able to cut off the cavalry commander of the devil, but he soon saw that the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion were swallowed up by the Japanese cavalry!

An angry Kang Jinyuan was immediately ready to give the order to open fire, but the next battlefield change made him change his mind!

The Japanese cavalry was obviously frightened by the artillery of the 2nd Battalion, and they actually chose to break through from the hillside guarded by the 1st Battalion! Riding a horse up the mountain is not an easy task, and once a horse galloping on flat ground starts to climb the mountain, it will immediately turn into a slow sheep! Kang Jinyuan decided to wait for the devil cavalry to climb halfway before firing!

At a distance of tens of meters, a huge target, the machine gunners of the 1st battalion will definitely be happy to close their mouths, right?

"The machine gunner shoots the devil's warhorse! Riflemen shoot the cavalry of the devils!! Mortars fire freely! We're in a good position! Use more grenades! Wipe out all the devil cavalry on the hillside! ”

Kang Jinyuan shouted and opened fire fiercely, and soon he ran out of bullets in the pistol, and in the face of the ferocious fire of the 1st battalion, the Japanese cavalry was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head! The dead horses and the corpses of the Japanese cavalry rolled down the hillside, smashing more Japanese horses.

"Camp! On the hillside are our troops! Listen to the Thomson submachine gun! The commander has sent the 99th Division to support us! ”

The troops that suddenly appeared on the hillside made Chu Xiongfei stop his horse, Jiang Zaibin and Zhou Changshan shouted excitedly, now that both ends of the road are blocked by reinforcements, the 99th Division has appeared on the hillside again! This time, the devil's cavalry brigade didn't run away!

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Suddenly, two fireballs exploded one after another on the hillside, and since the distance was only a few hundred meters, Chu Xiongfei saw a Czech light machine gun flying into the air! The Heavy should be more than lucky!

"Camp! It's the artillery position of the devils! We've got to get rid of it! ”

Jiang Zaibin's eyes were sharp, as soon as he turned around, he noticed that there were still many devils busy on the mortar position of the 17th Cavalry Brigade, the military literacy of the Japanese army was really excellent, and now in such an embattled situation, no one from the devil artillery dropped the mortar and fled, they had been divided into two teams under the command of the artillery commander, one team bombarded the 1st battalion on the hillside, and the other team fired at the "armored cluster" in the distance!

While the cavalry battalion was turning its head and preparing to attack, four or five more mortar shells fell on the hillside! Jiang Zaibin really hates itchy!

"Rush! Get rid of the devil's artillery position! ”

The remaining dozens of cavalry battalions galloped towards the artillery positions of the devils! Without the cover of cavalry, the mortar position of the devil is like a house that has broken through the gate! Chinese cavalry is welcome to do anything!

The snow bright knife slashed through the neck of the Japanese artillery, the weak resistance of the Japanese artillery was like tickling the cavalry battalion, Zhou Changshan, who was born in the Northwest Army, showed his superb horse skills in front of Chu Xiongfei and Jiang Zaibin, he commanded the jujube red horse under the crotch to kick a devil with his hind hooves, and the severe pain made the devil lie on the ground with his lower body, and then Zhou Changshan rode the jujube red horse and walked over to make up for a hoof!

"Hiss......"

Chu Xiongfei and Jiang Zaibin gasped at the same time! Zhou Changshan's two hits just now are really good enough! I didn't expect the Northwest Army to teach their cavalry to step on eggs and play!

It is worthy of the troops who learned sword skills from horse bandits!

After abusing and killing the artillery of the 17th Cavalry Brigade, the cavalry battalion chose to continue to pursue and kill Ryozo Ono! Why is it said to be "hunting"? Mainly because after discovering that his cavalry brigade could not escape from the hillside, Ono Ryozo Nakasa immediately chose to turn again! Even if the Chinese army really sent a large number of chariots, the 17th Cavalry Brigade could still escape if it couldn't defeat it, right?

The 17th Cavalry Brigade, which had lost half of its troops, galloped along the main road in the direction of Xintaizi!

Ryozo Ono chose to collide head-on with the "tank unit" of the 25th Army!

Of course, the cavalry battalion will not miss the opportunity to watch a good show, they have not seen chariots fighting cavalry yet! In the past, it was the Japanese who bullied the Chinese army with chariots, but now it is the turn of the Chinese army to bully the Japanese with chariots!

When Ryozo Ono rushed to an area only three or four hundred meters away from the "armored convoy" of the 536th Regiment with his 17th Cavalry Brigade, Ryozo Ono almost wanted to beat his chest!

Where is the big guy on the road what is an "armored combat vehicle"? It's just a fleet of military trucks loaded with weapons! No wonder the Chinese are moving so slowly! It turns out that it's a paper tiger at all!

"Eight Tooth Road! Kill give! All charge! ”

Annoyed and angry, Ryozo Ono didn't even order his cavalry to line up, he directly gave the order to charge! The 17th Cavalry Brigade was actually frightened by a convoy of cars! What a shame!

"Blow up the Shina man's truck with a grenade!"

Asakura Shaozo roared loudly, he obviously couldn't accept today's wonderful fiasco! After more than ten minutes of effort, the 17th Cavalry Brigade lost more than half of its losses! Now don't talk about going to the rescue of the 116th Wing, there is even a question of whether they themselves can return to the defense area of the 13th Division!

The Chinese army was able to mobilize troops to encircle the 17th Cavalry Brigade in such a short period of time, and it was impossible for them not to ambush and kill the 17th Cavalry Brigade on the way back! The 17th Cavalry Brigade is probably more than lucky today! The "strange soldiers" sent by the commander of the Zhou Li Military Division to rescue the 116th Wing have become the "plus dish" of the Chinese army!

A few seconds later, Ryozo Ono and Shosa Asakura discovered at the same time that they had made a new mistake!

Ordinary trucks are indeed vulnerable, but modified armored cars are a different story! What's more, these trucks are also carrying elite officers and soldiers of the 99th Division!

Almost at the same time as the Japanese cavalry charged, ten light and heavy machine guns on the roof of the cab of armored cars opened fire together! Dense machine-gun bullets covered the road in front of the convoy like flying locusts, and the Japanese cavalry who rushed to the front were all knocked to the ground without exception!

The truck team of the 536th Regiment has always maintained a slow forward speed, and the infantry carried in the carriage have also gone down to the ground to participate in the battle, Thomson and Mauser rifles just made up for the blind spot of light and heavy machine gun firepower, even if occasionally some Japanese cavalry rushed into the middle of the truck formation, they were also dizzy by the officers and soldiers of the 536th Regiment in the carriage, Ono Ryozo Nakasa saw the Chinese soldiers standing on the truck compartment with their rifles that hit the bayonet to pick the Japanese cavalry off their horses! Some Japanese cavalrymen were also hit by several bayonets at the same time, and they were stuck like hedgehogs!

The fate of the Japanese cavalry, who fell from their horses, was even more tragic, they had to pay attention not only to the bayonets and bullets of the Chinese infantry, but also to the wheels of the cars around them! Once it is rolled under the wheel, it becomes a blur of flesh and blood on the spot, and it is miserable!

"Dismount! Use war horses as cover! Grenadier! Use the grenadier canister! ”

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Ono Ryozo Nakasa quickly changed his tactics, the devil cavalry dismounted and hid behind the war horse and shot at the infantry of the Chinese army with rifles, and the well-trained Japanese war horse obediently lay on the ground as a fortification, and from time to time there were devils throwing grenades from behind the war horse, blowing up the road in front of them into a sea of fire!

A car with steel plates is approaching or a car! Not to mention the grenade, even the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese can easily penetrate the steel plates installed on the car, after the Japanese resumed combat continuity and firepower, the convoy of the 2nd Battalion was forced to stop advancing, and the infantry of the 2nd Battalion began to use the car as a fixed cover, and the Japanese launched a confrontation!

Although this new tactic of the 17th Cavalry Brigade successfully blocked the advance of the 536th Regiment Truck Team, because the light weapons of the 99th Division were much stronger than those of the Japanese cavalry, the battle line has been moving towards the Japanese cavalry!

Ryozo Ono is sweating profusely at the moment! He put his last hope on the grenadier, and the 17th Cavalry Brigade now had to destroy some cars before it could rely on its speed to escape! The premise is that the road surface cannot be blocked by a car on fire!

Captain Komuro, who commanded the grenadier shooting, was stunned by a series of requests from Ryozo Ono Nakasa! He really didn't know what he should do to meet all these requests made by Ryozo Ono at the same time!

Although the grenadier is also called an ultralight mortar, in fact, its shooting accuracy is not very high! You have to be an experienced soldier to be able to operate better! Since the Japanese cavalry was usually not equipped with grenadiers, the 17th Cavalry Brigade naturally did not have experts in using grenadiers! In fact, these grenadiers they carried were temporarily transferred from the infantry company of the 13th Division, and it was impossible for these novices to complete the task of Ryozo Ono Nakasa!

"Your Excellency, Captain! I just can't do it! Please replace me with another officer! ”

Captain Komuro chose to tell the truth after a brief hesitation! You can't get mixed up! Ryono Sanchusa stood by with a sword and waited to see the effect of the grenadier attack! If you can't do it after you agree, I'm afraid you will be killed directly, it's better to explain the situation and difficulties directly, maybe there is a glimmer of life!

"Rubbish!" Ryozo Ono shows a fierce light! He raised the command knife in his hand high, obviously wanting to slash the captain in front of him to death!

"Boom!"

A cannonball landed at the feet of Ryozo Ono Nakasa! While he was arguing with Captain Komuro, the 536th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment had taken down the Type 92 infantry guns on the armored car, and now they are firing!

Ryozo Ono's right leg was blurred by the explosion, the part below the knee was gone, their upper body and face were full of wounds, and the shock wave of the explosion should have damaged his internal organs, and Ryozo Ono, who was lying on the ground, began to vomit blood!

"Captain! Nakasa! ”

Seeing this scene from a distance, Asakura Shaosa immediately rushed over, and he squatted beside Ryozo Ono and shouted loudly, looking distressed!

"Shallow... Asakura-kun! Enter.. Offensive! Fast.... Hurry up ......"

Ono Ryozo Nakasa didn't die immediately, he said intermittently, Ono Ryozo Nakasa wanted to convey his meaning through Asakura Shaosa!

Asakura Shaosa pounced on Ono Ryozo Nakasa's body, and covered Ono Ryozo Nakasa's mouth with his palm, and suddenly Ono Ryozo Nakasa, who lost air, twitched very much, he raised his right hand to open the palm of Asakura Shaosa covering his mouth, but due to too much blood loss, coupled with the fact that there is no air now, Ono Ryozo Nakasa gradually lost his strength and consciousness......

"Your Excellency! For the sake of the lives of the Imperial warriors, you must go first! ”

Asakura Shaosa lowered his head and whispered into Ono Ryozo Nakasa's ear, next to him, Captain Komuro, who witnessed the whole process, trembled like a sieve!

Although when Captain Ono raised his saber at Captain Komuro just now, Captain Komuro also had the idea of killing Captain Ono, but if he really wanted Captain Komuro to do it, it would be difficult to have that kind of courage!

But Asakura Shaosa did it in front of Captain Komuro! He killed Ryozo Ono Nakasa!

"Hey! Captain Komuro! Have you decided to denounce me or have you decided to keep your mouth shut? Tell me the answer! I've decided whether to kill you or not! ”

Asakura Shaosa can still say such things with a smile at this time! Captain Komuro felt that the person standing in front of him was a demon!

"I... I won't say anything! ”

"Excellent! We can only live if he dies! (To be continued.) )
