[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 205: Continuous Combat (Second Update, Ask for Subscription!) )
Naito was already aware of the problem, but it was too late, only to hear a rumbling sound overhead, and then huge stones and logs fell like raindrops, smashing the cavalry that was rushing towards Ma Desheng's headquarters.
I only heard the frightened roars of the Japanese cavalry, and then even the men and horses were buried by the boulders, and only a few were lucky enough to retreat.
But this is not the end, but the beginning, before the Japanese cavalry turned around, only to see a large number of small things flashing with fire flying down in the black pressure overhead.
The sharp-eyed Japanese soldier recognized what it was at a glance, and shouted in horror: "The grenade, it's the grenade of the Chinese people!" ”
That's right, it's a grenade, and nothing is more powerful than a grenade in this terrain, not even artillery. In order to complete the battle, Ma Zheng asked each soldier of the cavalry group to carry at least ten grenades, and the troops in ambush on the Tiger Roaring Gorge were the 1st Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Cavalry Group, these two regiments combined with more than 6,000 people, and ten grenades per person was 60,000.
Sixty thousand grenades exploded at the same time in less than three minutes, and it was a terrifying spectacle, especially in such a small terrain.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"
The explosions continued for three or four minutes, and then before the Japanese cavalry could catch their breath, the machine gun positions erected on both sides of the cliff opened fire, and one after another heavy machine guns were aimed at the Japanese puppet troops in the valley and poured steel bullets with hatred.
The battle did not last very long, only more than half an hour, and when there were no more Japanese officers and soldiers in the valley, the cavalry group stopped attacking.
The infantry then began to enter the valley to clear the battlefield, but many of them vomited and ran out as soon as they entered, and the scene in the valley was terrible.
I saw that the whole valley was full of severed arms and stumps, and there were people and horses. The blood stained every inch of the valley red, and it was difficult to find a complete corpse inside, like a Shura hell, like a large slaughterhouse, except that now it was not livestock that was slaughtered, but people. Living people.
There were also some Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, but there were no exceptions, all of them were demented and stupid.
For this part of the people, Ma Desheng did not order the troops to kill them, but took them out of the valley and put them in custody.
In any case, they still won the battle, and the only remaining cavalry brigade of the Japanese cavalry group was lost in the Tiger Roaring Gorge, and none of them escaped except for a heavy baggage brigade left behind.
Leaving a regiment to clean up the battlefield, Ma Desheng led the rest of the troops to set off again! And their next target is the last part of the Western Route Army. It is the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army and the Baggage Brigade of the Japanese Cavalry Group.
Although the soldiers are now very tired, and the war horses are tired, Ma Desheng knows that the opportunity is rare now, once the Japanese puppet army behind knows that the main force of Naito's department has been completely annihilated, it will definitely escape back to Sui as soon as possible, which will have a fatal impact on Zhou Lieyang's division to seize Guisui.
Fortunately, all the infantry of Ma Desheng's cavalry group was also equipped with war horses, and in Ma Zheng's words, the infantry of the cavalry group was an all-round force. Dismount is infantry, and mount is cavalry. Today their main task is to ambush the Japanese army. Therefore, the war horses were all hidden in the nearby valleys and mountains and forests, which can be said to have rested for a whole day, so Ma Desheng ordered the soldiers of the first and second regiments of the cavalry to change into the war horses of the second infantry regiment, and then add the first infantry regiment, a total of two cavalry regiments and one infantry regiment totaling more than 6,000 people went straight to the rear of the Japanese puppet army.
There were more than 3,800 people in the rear team of Naito's department, and when Naito's department pursued Ma Desheng's department. They're still in their camp! In the course of the pursuit, Naito sent someone back to inform the rear team, telling them to speed up their advance, and stationed in the village of Sandaoying at night, waiting for their victorious return.
At this time, the news of the annihilation of the vanguard had reached the ears of everyone in the rear team, after all, the bodies of Shichiro Nakazawa and others were still packed up by them. Ma Desheng and others are only responsible for cleaning the battlefield, but they don't have time to be responsible for burying people.
As a result, the atmosphere in the rear team was tense and morale was low. The Japanese army was because of the death of a big Zuo and many advisory officers, and they were irritable from top to bottom, and many puppet soldiers were reprimanded and insulted because they were intentional or unintentional, and even slapped in the face. The puppet army, on the other hand, was terrified and angry because of fear.
It has also been deepened, and the vast majority of the Japanese puppet army has already rested, perhaps because of the impact of today's defeat, so there are many patrolling Japanese puppet troops inside and outside the village, obviously worried about being attacked.
In the northeast of the village, Ma Desheng was quietly riding on a war horse, checking the movement in the village through a telescope. Behind him, more than six thousand cavalrymen stood silently, waiting for his orders.
"Zhou Hai, the war horses of the Japanese puppet army are all kept in captivity on the playground of the small school in the east of the village, surrounded by the Japanese puppet army, but the troops are not very many, wait a minute, you will attack from the east on a regiment, take down the military horse farm first, pay attention not to hurt those war horses! After taking the military horse farm, he went to the old house of the Li family in the center of the village, which was the largest and most luxurious house in the Sandao Battalion, and the Japanese puppet army would definitely use it as a headquarters. ”
"Yes!"
"Wu Bing, your second cavalry regiment is attacking from the north of the village, there doesn't seem to be many patrols there, it should be where the puppet army lives, and after entering, take more prisoners."
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
"Li Jiangtao, your infantry regiment is divided into two, one part will attack from the south of the village, and the other part will set up an ambush at the small mountain pass to the west."
"Commander, why don't you block the opening to the west, so that the Japanese puppet army will be completely dead!" Li Jiangtao, the head of the Buyi Regiment, immediately asked.
"This is called Wai San Que Yi, which is to make those enemies in the village feel that there is still hope for escape, that is, to break their fighting spirit! Wait a minute, when we launch an attack from the southeast, south, and south at the same time, the Japanese puppet army will definitely flee to the west, after all, they can directly retreat back to Sui if they flee from the west. Your task is to intercept them at the mountain pass. Ma Desheng said.
"Yes, mission guaranteed!"
"By the wayside, it's 10:42, and 45 is a general attack!" Ma Desheng said.
"Yes!"
Three minutes passed quickly, and with Ma Desheng's order, more than 6,000 cavalry instantly activated and rushed towards the small village not far away!
The sound of the horses galloping quickly alarmed the Japanese puppet soldiers patrolling the village, but these patrol guys did not warn the soldiers who had already slept in the village, perhaps in their minds that one of Naito's troops had returned.
This is also thanks to the military uniforms of the soldiers of the Seventh Division, due to the lack of cloth, the military uniforms of Ma Zheng's department were also artificially divided into two types. One is naturally the classic earth-gray standard military uniform of the Eighth Route Army, from military hats to shoes, which are very old-fashioned.
The other was remade from captured Japanese military uniforms, except that the color changed from yellow to dark green. It's easy to recognize the difference in broad daylight, but it's really not nice at night. In addition, one of Naito had already passed the order before, saying that he would return to the Sandao camp in the evening, so the Japanese puppet army would subconsciously think that the cavalry that suddenly appeared was the main force led by one of Naito.
But soon they realized that they had made a mistake, and when the cavalry rushed to the entrance of the village, they did not slow down, and all the knights raised their rifles, and then the patrolling Japanese puppet army realized that it was an enemy attack.
The shrill whistle soon sounded in the village, and at this time the sirens set by the Japanese for an enemy attack sounded.
However, it was too late, and a large number of Chinese cavalry had already rushed into the village and launched an attack on the panicked Japanese puppet army.
At the beginning of the battle, the commander of the 3rd Cavalry Division of the puppet Mongolian army, Harigen, still wanted to organize troops to counterattack, but after roaring and roaring, he gathered less than 300 guards, knowing that it was already in chaos, and if he stayed any longer, he was likely to fall into it. Today he had seen with his own eyes the corpse of Huang Dayan who had been trampled to death, it was too miserable for him to die here like that idiot, so Harrigan discerned the sparse gunfire and fled west with his descendants.
