Chapter 136: Bumped
9.136 crashed
On the road, about 2 kilometers away from Caiwa Village, more than 300 Japanese cavalrymen were standing in place in two rows. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this attack on Huangmei, the Takeda Squadron, which was part of the 6th Cavalry Wing, became the pioneer of the 6th Division. Using cavalry to open the way, Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro is really bold enough!
Prior to this, apart from one-sided pursuits, the Japanese had never put cavalry units at the forefront! After all, most of the battles between the Japanese army and the Chinese army were fortified battles, and the cavalry had little room to play.
At the front of the cavalry queue were several Japanese officers, one of whom was holding a telescope, and said to the squadron leader, Captain Takeda, who was on the side:
"Takeda-kun! The village in front is Caiwa Village! By this point, we are only half the way away from Huangmei! ”
Captain Takeda waved his hand at Lieutenant Okamoto, who had spoken, to show that he didn't need anyone to tell him where he was, and then said in an arrogant tone:
"Okamoto-kun! Looks like we could have picked up a little bit faster! These people are no match for the Imperial Army! The Wuhan government's troops only know how to rely on their positions to die, and to be honest, I'm really tired of their tactics! ”
Captain Takeda's remarks caused all the Japanese officers of the Takeda squadron to laugh wildly, and they all had similar feelings to Captain Takeda, since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese full-scale war, the Chinese army has basically always been fighting a defensive war, and often the troops on a position will never take a step back until they are exhausted! Although such a battle is very heroic and exciting, it also completely restricts the creative and offensive capabilities of the Chinese army!
The reason why the "German Armament Division", the Teaching Corps, and the Tax Police Corps, which do not belong to the Japanese Army Divisions at all, suffered huge losses in the Battle of Songhu is very related to this kind of blind stubborn fighting style!
And the troops under Huang Haoran are a completely opposite example, even in the isolated city of Nanjing, Huang Haoran has never given up the attack, the Nanjing garrison has retained a strong mobile force from beginning to end, so that there is that Lishui victory that shook the whole country! If Huang Haoran had adopted the passive defensive tactics of the Military Commission like the rest of the Chinese army at that time, I am afraid that Huang Haoran and his brothers would have to be buried in Nanjing, not to mention the current 25th Group Army!
After laughing at the rigidity of the Chinese army, Captain Takeda gave a new order: "Okamoto-kun! Let the flag soldiers send a signal to the search force in front to confirm whether there are any ambushes in the village as soon as possible, I don't want to waste time like this any longer......"
Lieutenant Okamoto nodded vigorously, then turned his head and waved at the bannerman behind him. The two horses immediately galloped out of the procession with the cavalry on horseback, and soon they were on a small dirt bag on the side of the road.
The flag soldier sent Captain Takeda's order three times in a row, and then stopped and waited for a response. After about half a minute, a Japanese infantryman emerged from a field on the side of the road, stood in the middle of the road and began to signal in the language of the flag. Captain Takeda held up the binoculars and looked at them for a while, then said with a smile: "These slow infantrymen, if you don't kick their ass, they won't move!" Damn bastard, you're finally ready to enter the village......"
In this way, the second squad leader ushered in his first wave of guests, nine Japanese scouts, formed three triangular formations, and cautiously walked towards the entrance of the village.
"Ready to shoot! Leave it to me the one with the saber! ”
All the rifles were raised, the soldiers were firmly attached to their chosen targets with their sights, and the second squad was armed with a Czech light machine gun, which was now placed in front of the second squad leader.
The sound of footsteps suddenly came from the back of the second squad leader's head... It was really unfortunate that the second squad had no time to open fire, and the first squad leader rushed to the entrance of the village with his soldiers. A group of soldiers carrying Hanyang-made and the Japanese soldiers holding the 38 big cover discovered each other almost at the same time, and then opened fire almost at the same time!
"Bump!" "Smack!" Two different types of rifles emitted two different firing sounds, the round bullet made by Hanyang and the pointed bullet of the Type 38 rifle passing rapidly through the air, then burrowing into the human body and tumbling rapidly, followed by the sound of crying and then the sound of the end.
As soon as they met, 7 people fell on both sides, 4 of whom were devils.
"Da Da Da ......"
There was no longer a need to give the order to shoot, the second squad leader directly pulled the Czech trigger to the bottom, and the magazine of 20 rounds was quickly used up by him, and the ammunition man next to him quickly replaced him with a new one. Hearing the sound of machine gun fire, the commander of the Japanese scout unit immediately came to the conclusion that there were Chinese regular troops in the village, and he immediately ordered the use of crooked machine guns to fire at the Chinese troops at the entrance of the village, and the four grenadiers were also quickly set up, and a round of rapid fire was carried out at the location of the Czech machine guns.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
A grenade flew directly into the two riflemen of the second squad, blasting an arm holding a Hanyang-style rifle into the air. The second squad leader, however, had no time to grieve at the loss of two of his subordinates, and he quickly ran out from behind the courtyard wall with a Czech machine gun, and at the same time pulled away his ammunition man.
As soon as the two people rushed out of the courtyard gate, a grenade fell into the courtyard, and after a burst of fire and smoke, only tinnitus remained in the ears of the second squad leader.
"Kill, give!"
Seeing that the Japanese commander had broken the Chinese army's defensive line at the entrance of the village so easily, he felt that he had pinched a soft persimmon, so he stood up and led the remaining scouts to charge the village! But at the moment before they were about to rush into the entrance of the village, several firepower points that Platoon Commander Sheng had arranged on the roof in advance suddenly joined the battle group, although they could not bring destruction to the Japanese scout troops, but they suppressed the momentum of the Japanese attack, and the second squad leader and the first squad leader took the opportunity to re-gather the troops, and then retreated to several relatively strong stone houses to continue to resist.
In the face of the Chinese army, which occupied a favorable position, the Japanese scouts, who had suffered more than a dozen casualties in the previous firefight, had no choice but to send a signal to the cavalry units in the rear for help.
"Mixi! Finally, an enemy has appeared! Cavalry squadrons! Charge! Surround Caiwa Village! ”
Captain Takeda showed a hideous smile, and while riding on his horse, he waved his hand forward, and more than 300 Japanese cavalry immediately rushed out with a ghostly scream, of which more than 100 cavalry rushed straight to the entrance of the village in the fierce battle, and the other 100 cavalry divided into two roads, interspersed with detours to the west and south of Caiwa Village respectively! This is clearly to annihilate the Chinese army in Caiwa Village!
