9.137 Second-rate opponents

The Takeda squadron was still half a step late, and by the time the Japanese cavalry stormed into Caiwa Village, all the Chinese troops in the village had withdrawn. www.biquge.info It can be said that the development of this battle was completely unexpected by Captain Takeda, who had just said that the Chinese government army liked to hold its position, but he did not expect that only a few minutes later, these Chinese soldiers in Caiwa Village taught him a vivid lesson.

Could it be that it was the Chinese guerrillas who were fighting in the village? This is the only plausible explanation that Captain Takeda can come up with right now. Captain Takeda, who was bent on getting an answer, didn't even bother to reorganize the cavalry squadron, so he jumped off his horse and galloped towards the Higashimuraguchi, where the battle began!

"What's going on? Why did the Chinese army slip away? ”

From a long distance, Captain Takeda asked the commander of the scout unit, Second Lieutenant Ono, with an eager expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, those Chinese set up two machine-gun fire points on the roof, suppressed my troops in front of the entrance of the village, and then they took the opportunity to escape! These people are a bunch of cowards! Just five more minutes! I'll be able to make the breakthrough! It's a pity ......."

Second Lieutenant Ono's explanation was pale, facts speak louder than words, and Captain Takeda, who approached the battlefield at the entrance of the village, saw at a glance that among the dozens of corpses lying on the ground, Japanese soldiers and Chinese soldiers accounted for almost half of them. Although he didn't know how many Chinese troops were in ambush in the village, he knew very well how many people there were in this scout force led by Second Lieutenant Ono!

After deducting the dead soldiers on the ground and the wounded who were bound to appear, it would be nice that the scout force that was exploring the way for the Takeda squadron would now have a dozen or so people left.

Such an exchange between the two sides shows that the Chinese army hiding in Caiwa Village just now will definitely not be some kind of guerrilla force! If the guerrillas of the Shina people could also have such combat capabilities, then the dream of the Great Japanese Empire would have to come to an end completely!

"Are there any officers among the people killed?"

Captain Takeda didn't embarrass Second Lieutenant Ono, who was already blushing to the back of his ears at the moment, he still needed more information, he needed to confirm what kind of Chinese army his opponent was! And these answers can often be found on the corpses of Chinese, especially Chinese officers ... That's why Captain Takeda asked.

"No... There is no ......," Second Lieutenant Ono replied hesitantly, and continued to blush.

In fact, Ensign Ono had already thought of this before Captain Takeda arrived: since this battle had already lost the number of casualties, being able to kill a few Chinese officers would be his last straw! It's just a pity that Second Lieutenant Ono and his subordinates carefully examined the bodies of the Chinese soldiers twice, and they couldn't even find a non-commissioned officer who was killed! It was Second Lieutenant Ono who injured several soldiers on their side.

Seeing Second Lieutenant Ono behave like this, Captain Takeda shook his head in disappointment. In his opinion, if this is the end, then the scout troops have actually won a complete defeat!

In that case, Captain Takeda can only rely on his observation and use his brain to find the answer he wants! After a few turns around the corpse, Captain Takeda bent down to pick up a rifle used by the Chinese army, and then pulled the bolt with force.

This is a crappy replica of the Mauser 1888 rifle, using an old-fashioned round-tipped bullet! Captain Takeda also noticed that although the corpses were all wearing relatively new grass green Central Army uniforms, none of them wore steel helmets on their heads. In this way, the combat unit to which these Chinese soldiers belong should be second-rate goods in the central army of the Wuhan government.

No wonder they had to flee!

As one of the standing divisions of the Japanese Army, the Kumamoto Division is definitely not the target that these Chinese second-rate troops can provoke!

Since it was put into the Chinese battlefield, the 6th Division's achievements have been outstanding! Had it not been for the influence of the "Nanjing Incident" later, Tokyo ordered the Japanese propaganda department not to publicize the military exploits of the 6th Division, and all the officers and men of the 6th Division would have become the "god of war" worshiped by the Japanese people! Now that it has been incorporated into the combat sequence of the 11th Army, the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division is still outstanding!

Captain Takeda's subconscious even felt that as long as the number of the 6th Division was reported, most of the Chinese troops would flee immediately!

"A bunch of pesky fleas! Delayed our time! Captain Takeda threw the imitation of the Mauser rifle in his hand to the ground with all his might, such an inferior weapon did not deserve to be his trophy at all!

"Second Lieutenant Ono, I'll give you fifteen cavalrymen, you should hurry up! As for the corpses of your men, I'll take care of them......"

Captain Takeda felt that this farce should be over, and the honor that belonged to him was still waiting for him in Huangmei, and it was impossible to wait for the battle in this small village.

"Takeda-kun! Takeda-kun! ”

It was Lieutenant Okamoto's voice, and Captain Takeda turned his body one hundred and eighty degrees, and sure enough, he saw Lieutenant Okamoto trotting forward.

Because of staying on horseback all year round, Luo Quan's legs have become an occupational disease of cavalry, and Lieutenant Okamoto is born with a five-short body, and he is like a dwarf winter melon when he runs! This image is really a little out of place with the noble style of the cavalry representatives.

"What happened? Lieutenant Okamoto! ”

Captain Takeda's tone of voice showed that he was a little unhappy now, according to the command system of the Takeda squadron, Lieutenant Okamoto should take command of the entire cavalry squadron instead of him when Captain Takeda left. Now that Lieutenant Okamoto has appeared here, doesn't it mean that the Takeda squadron has now lost its commander? It's going to be a waste of time!

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, please go and see for yourself! In the depths of the village, the people of China wrote a lot of slogans slandering the Empire, and the emotions of the soldiers are now a little out of control! ”

What Captain Takeda didn't expect was that Lieutenant Okamoto's speech was a little secretive, even more so than Second Lieutenant Ono just now! Captain Takeda, who felt that he had lost face in front of the scout troops, couldn't help but be a little angry, so he roared loudly:

"Yaga! Utter nonsense! My soldiers are warriors loyal to Japan and to the emperor! How could their will be shaken! ”

Lieutenant Okamoto's eyes swirled in his sockets, and finally he couldn't help but not respond to Captain Takeda's question. It's all to blame on the damned Shina people for writing something like that in the village! As an officer of the Empire, Lieutenant Okamoto knew that it would be a great sin for him to even pronounce those words! He could only make a "please" gesture at Captain Takeda.
