Less than five minutes after the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Yamada Wing, the rangers sent out to guard gave a signal, and a large number of Japanese cavalry were found two kilometers ahead, the size of which was about three divisions, but there were a large number of puppet troops mixed in, judging from the style of military uniforms, it should be subordinate to the national defense force of puppet Manchukuo.

Lu Jiang immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered the telegraph operator to immediately send a report to the large army of Aolige. Tian Jiro's mood at this time was extremely excited, this time to encircle and annihilate a cavalry division of Han Yunhua's department in China, it was sensational news after all. If it had been left two years ago, let alone encircling and annihilating a cavalry division in China, even if it was a group army that completely annihilated China, it would not have much impact. When that was now, it was different, and the Chinese army was also learning from the war, and it has become more and more difficult to deal with.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party, due to their limited conditions and harsh living environment, has created a tenacious will to fight among the troops under the command of the Communist Party, and everyone is an expert in mountain warfare. However, if we talk about the units of the Eighth Route Army that have been completely annihilated by the formation, there are also quite a few units at the battalion and company level, or even at the platoon level, and almost no regiments have been completely annihilated, let alone the entire division.

In addition, the current expansion of the achievements of Han Yunhua's headquarters in the Inner Mongolia Military Region has suddenly doubled the value of the entire army, and just two days ago, the base camp issued a high reward, whether it is a regular army or a militia in the Inner Mongolia Military Region, the head of a platoon commander is worth 20 oceans, the company commander is 50 oceans, the battalion commander is 200 oceans, the regiment commander is 1,000 oceans, and the division commander is 10,000 oceans, and Han Yunhua himself is worth 100 oceans plus a hereditary marquis.

1 million oceans is nothing, anyway, as long as the ordinary soldiers who have served in China and returned home safely are not rich, let alone those officers, if an officer above the major general level has not made enough millions of oceans, he is really embarrassed to meet his family. Therefore, the temptation of the ocean for the vast majority of officers is not great, but the title of hereditary marquis is fatal to any officer. You must know that Japan still has a high opinion of these fictitious titles, no matter how high your status is, if you don't have a title to take, then you will never be able to really integrate into high society, and now most of the officers of the Japanese army have money, so what they pursue is more of these fictitious things.

Although Han Yunhua himself can't be done this time, if he can completely annihilate a cavalry division under Han Yunhua, and even take Xilinhot, then he doesn't dare to say anything else, and the promotion of the military rank can be guaranteed, thinking of this, Tian Jilang's heart is about to jump out. Thinking of the sound of "Your Excellency General" in the future, Tian Jiro was very excited, and he couldn't wait to change into the coveted general uniform now.

Closer, less than two kilometers away from the Fourth Cavalry Division of Lujiang, Tian Jiro shouted loudly: "Speed up the charge and kill all the troops on the opposite side"

"Kill the enemy and give"

"Kill the enemy and give"

Lu Jiang is not a vegetarian, he came prepared, knowing that his troops are far inferior to the Japanese army in terms of numbers and horses, so he is not prepared to fight to the death with the Japanese army, before the Japanese army came, Lu Jiang brought his troops to a gentle slope, although this gentle slope is not high from the flat land, but it still puts the fourth division in an absolute geographical advantage, and the Japanese army that charged the fourth division was in a disadvantageous position when charging on the back.

To be honest, Lu Jiang is still very uncertain about fighting against the Japanese army of more than 30,000 troops, although the Fourth Cavalry Division has fought against the Japanese puppet army before, but most of them are battles at the battalion and company level, and battles at the regimental level are rare, not to mention the big battles of tens of thousands of people.

The cavalry duel of tens of thousands of people is definitely a classic no matter what era it is placed in, and it is also a great battle. Most of the horses of the Japanese cavalry were excellent horses imported from West Asia or Europe, while most of the horses of the 4th Cavalry Division were local horses on the Mongolian plateau, which were inferior in terms of running speed and size. However, the Mongolian horse is superior to its long endurance, and the Japanese war horse, although it is strong in combat, is not suitable for long-distance running. ,

Therefore, the tactics formulated by Lu Jiang were specifically aimed at dealing with the Japanese cavalry horses, he first concentrated all the troops on the side of the gentle slope, and placed the light machine gun battalion equipped by the cavalry division horizontally at the front of the troops, and ordered the machine gunners to open fire as soon as the Japanese cavalry entered the firing range.

Although more than 600 light machine guns are already the limit of the current situation of Lu Jiang's department, and this light machine gun battalion is indeed powerful, the firepower is definitely much greater than a single light machine gun. I saw that the Japanese puppet cavalry on the charging road kept falling and falling again, and the short distance of 500 meters was a line of death, and the picture seemed to be fixed at the point of 500 meters, as long as the Japanese puppet army dared to cross this line of defense, it would be solved by the machine gun battalion of the fourth division at the first time.

Lieutenant General Tajiro, who was also a tactician, saw that the frontal charge suffered heavy casualties, and immediately ordered the banner soldiers to give a turning order to the charging troops, and he ordered the main force to immediately turn to the sides of the Chinese cavalry position, leaving only a part of the puppet army to continue to attack the frontal position.

Tian Jiro's abacus was very loud, but Lu Jiang and others were not slow to react, and while the Japanese cavalry turned, the troops of the 4th Cavalry Division launched a charge towards the frontal battlefield with the least Japanese defensive forces. Although the puppet army is a puppet army, the puppet army in the northeast and the puppet army in the country are two different things, and the puppet army in the northeast is strictly controlled by the Japanese army, so it is far more difficult to deal with than the puppet army in the pass in terms of "loyalty" and combat effectiveness.

The Japanese puppet army attacking head-on was mainly dominated by the puppet army, so the fourth division soon tore a hole under the siege of the cavalry units of the puppet army. After the opening was torn open, the 4th Division rushed out of the Japanese encirclement like a tiger descending from the mountain, and rushed towards another prepared gentle slope.

The Japanese cavalry swarmed after them without Tajiro's order, and as before, the cavalry battalion of the Fourth Division stood at the front of the gentle slope, with its extremely strong nose already open, waiting for the Japanese charge.

Although this tactic looked like a scoundrel, it was very practical, and the Japanese lost five or six hundred men in two rounds, while the fourth division lost only a dozen men, and the angry Lieutenant General Tajiro shouted wow.

"Nakata-kun, your troops should also move, you quickly lead your troops to take down this branch of cavalry, I will hear the news of the annihilation of the branch cavalry in two hours, do you have any confidence?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, just watch, our cavalry is independently mixed into the Ninth Brigade and will let the people of China know what a real knight is."

I have to say that there are indeed many groups with strong combat effectiveness in this era, if in terms of combat effectiveness, the Nazi soldiers who are now crisscrossing Europe are definitely the first in the world, from a spiritual point of view, although the French and the Yankees are the leaders in the theory of fighting, but when it comes to life and death, they are afraid of death, and their psychological quality is not good, and they are simply unable to carry the Nazis to the death under the condition of equal troops, weapons and ammunition. The second is the Mongolian cavalry, but the ancient Mongols are powerful, but they have not undergone very strict integrated training, some are still slaves, and the battlefield talks about collective charge, and does not pay attention to the training of individual qualities. Now Han Yunhua's subordinates have uniformly trained the Mongolian knights with excellent cavalry potential, and they have burst out with combat effectiveness that is stronger than that of ordinary cavalry units, which is also the reason why Aolige dared to use 50,000 cavalry to fight against the 80,000 or 90,000 troops of the Japanese puppet army.

The Japanese army in this era was also an opportunity, and with a small country being able to become the only country in the whole of Asia to maintain its territorial integrity under the pressure of the Western powers, and to become the first Asian country with overseas colonies, small Japan did have its advantages. And when it comes to life and death, the Japanese are very arrogant, and they have a little bit of momentum that looks at death as home, which is really difficult to deal with.

The cavalry of the Japanese army is such a typical representative, they have superb riding skills and accurate marksmanship, and they have almost no opponents before the Eighth Route Army advances into Saibei. A large number of Mongol princes and their herdsmen became obedient people to the Japanese, and a puppet regime spanning most of Suiyuan and Chahar was established in the land of Saibei.

"Division commander, the little devils are coming up again, we don't need to use a counter-charge this time, they don't have many people"

Lu Jiang said: "No, give me a machine gun to greet them, this tactic is very effective, our task is not to fight the Japanese army, the commander-in-chief has already rushed here with the main force, at most half an hour the situation will be reversed, and then we will run after the little devil." ”,

"Hahaha, it's okay, this half-day rush has consumed a lot of the physical strength of the little devil war horse, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to escape when the time comes, our Mongolian horses are much older than their Oriental horses."

"Persistence is victory, now we must not carry out a group charge with the little devil, our division is not the opponent of the 30,000 or 40,000 troops of the little devil, we will go around in circles with him like this."

Twenty miles away, a huge cavalry force was rushing to the site of the Chinese and Japanese cavalry duel.

"Yong, how far is it from the battlefield?" Aurege shouted as he ran.

Tong Jiayong roared: "It's not far, less than twenty miles, and you can arrive in half an hour." ”

"Is there any news from Lao Lu?"

"Two hours ago, Lao Lu sent a telegram, saying that the cavalry wing of the little devil had been wiped out, but the cavalry regiment on our side had been almost consumed, and the two sides could be said to have reached a draw. Now they are waiting for the arrival of the little devil, and so far no new telegram has been sent, indicating that the little devil has taken the bait, otherwise the telegram of the fourth division would have arrived long ago. Tong Jiayong replied.

"Okay, hahaha, the little devil still can't bear it, comrades hurry up and run, tens of thousands of devils are waiting for us in front, I will invite everyone to drink after this battle is fought." Aurege yelled.

Tong Jiayong turned around and said: "Commander-in-chief, don't want your Rausch mare's milk wine when you invite someone to drink, I can't get used to drinking that thing, if you want to drink it, we will come to the real thing, although the little devil's sake is not a good thing, it is not a little worse than the fine wine treasured by the commander, but it is much more enjoyable than your mare's milk wine, this time you invited us to drink grain wine, even if it is the worst pot wine, but you can't drink mare's milk wine." ”

"Hahahaha" As soon as he talked about this mare's milk wine, Aurege couldn't help but want to laugh.

To be honest, mare's milk wine is not as unbearable as Tong Jiayong said, mare's milk wine is stored in the skin, stirred, and after a few days, the milk fat is separated and fermented into wine. Mare's milk wine is warm in nature, and has the effects of dispelling cold, relieving tendons, invigorating blood, and strengthening the stomach. It is known as purple jade pulp and yuan jade pulp, and is one of the "eight treasures of Mongolia". It was once the main drink of the Yuan Dynasty court and the Mongolian aristocratic palace, and it was far more high-grade than ordinary liquor in the northern part of the country.

Although Tong Jiayong was also born in the north, he was not very interested in the sour and spicy taste of mare's milk wine, and the alcohol content of mare's milk wine was only about 3, although the name has a wine word, but it is actually not related to wine at all. So the vast majority of people are still not used to drinking that thing, the first time Aurege invited a few of their division commanders and political commissars to his tribe to be guests drank this kind of wine, that guy almost killed these generals who were screaming on the battlefield with mare's milk wine, so now Tong Jiayong rolled his eyes when he talked about mare's milk wine.

"Hahaha, Ah Yong, your kid is a mountain cannon, mare's milk wine is a good thing, you don't know how to enjoy it, mare's milk wine with meat is so honorable, you kid deserves to eat roast potatoes and wowotou."

Tong Jiayong said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, your mare's milk wine is really not good, but the hand-handled meat is a good thing, real enjoyment, hand-handled meat with white wine is a perfect match, I know that you still have hundreds of sheep at home, enough for me and the brothers to eat, when the time comes, the commander-in-chief should not be stingy." ”

Aurege smiled: "Fuck off, do you think that our Mongolian people eat mutton every day, we don't just raise sheep to eat mutton, we mainly drink goat's milk and wear sheepskin, so that we have thousands of sheep in each family and it is not enough to eat, you kid don't want to hit my family's attention, but the sake seized this time will be distributed by your kid." ”

Listening to Aolige say this, Tong Jiayong is a little embarrassed, this hand meat practice is not what ordinary people think, hand steak meat is one of the traditional Mongolian meat eating methods, the practice is to disembowel the fat and tender sheep, peel the skin and remove the internal organs and wash it, remove the head and hooves, and then unload the whole sheep into a number of large pieces, put people in white water to cook, when the water boiling meat is cooked, take it out, put it on the table in a large plate, everyone holds a Mongolian knife and cuts it in large pieces. It is famous for not using chopsticks, but using your hands to grasp food. That is to say, the meat is eaten by hand is a whole fat sheep, and without any auxiliary materials, the last time I went to Aurige's house as a guest, several division commanders and political commissars plus their guard troops, that meal ate more than 20 fat sheep and a calf in Aurege's family, so that Tong Jiayong and others are embarrassed to talk about it now. ,

"Commander-in-chief, it's less than ten miles away from the battlefield now, I think we're going to divide our troops here, right? Quite a few words"

"Okay, Lao Tong, your division and the second division bypassed the battlefield and fought from south to north, and I took the fifth division directly on the battlefield, and we will see you on the battlefield."

"Okay, Ao Zhigrad, you donkey, wait for Lao Tzu" The commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division, Ao Zhigrad, is also a Mongolian man, and after hearing Aurige's order, he immediately ran forward with his own guard troops, and at the same time ordered the flag soldiers to issue an order to divide the troops to the troops behind.

Just when Aurege was about to arrive at the battlefield with four cavalry divisions, Lu Jiang's fourth cavalry division was also forced into a desperate situation by Tian Jiro's troops. Tian Jiro was also a ruthless man, he knew very well that it was impossible for such cavalry to carry much machine gun ammunition in the Chinese army, so he ordered the puppet Manchukuo Wehrmacht to charge the positions of the 4th Cavalry Division regardless of life and death. Soon the ammunition of the machine gun battalion of the 4th Cavalry Division was exhausted, and although a large number of enemies were killed, there were almost no real elites belonging to the Japanese army, and all the dead were some puppet troops and Japanese troops with extremely poor combat effectiveness.

In desperation, Lu Jiang could only order the troops to continue to circle with the Japanese army, but it was a pity that Tian Jiro had prepared this time, he divided a cavalry division early in the morning and inserted it into the flank of the fourth cavalry division, and the formation of the fourth cavalry division was almost disrupted at once. In desperation, Lu Jiang had no choice but to order the troops to stop and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

War has the law of war, opportunities and risks are the same for both sides of the war, the Japanese army used a cavalry wing as a bait, and the 4th Cavalry Division also unceremoniously swallowed the cavalry wing of the people. Now when it is the turn of the Japanese to eat the bait, Tian Jiro is not polite, relying on his own troops, he doesn't care about the counterattack of Lu Jiang's fourth cavalry division at all, one-on-one is very common in the world of cavalry, and it is not impossible to fight one-on-two, but if an ordinary soldier wants to fight three or even four, it is simply a fantasy.

Now the ratio of forces between the two sides is one to four, so this Chinese cavalry division can be regarded as a sheep, and there is no other possibility than to be completely annihilated.

However, since the scale of this battle was much larger than the remnants of the cavalry wing of the Japanese army that were completely annihilated by the Fourth Cavalry Division, more than 10,000 Chinese cavalry could not be defeated in one or two charges. Therefore, despite the heavy losses of both sides in each encounter, the formation of the Chinese cavalry remained intact and there was no sign of defeat.

However, due to the disparity in strength, the four cavalry divisions suffered great losses in these two charges, and the entire battlefield was full of corpses of the dead on both sides, and the corpses of the four cavalry divisions were numerically speaking. There are no wounded at all in the cavalry duel, as long as it is a falling horse, it means death, and tens of thousands of war horses have stepped on it......
