Chapter 223: The Motorized Brigade Falls
Wuhan, the headquarters of the 10th Army of the little devils.
Noda Miyahiko, the commander of the 10th Army of the little devils, felt as if today was the end of the world, and his heart was full of darkness, and he could not see a trace of light. The motorized brigade has sent several telegrams in succession, and the contents of each telegram are more serious than the other.
Noda Miyahiko's face was very ugly when he saw the telegram, and his mood was extremely bad. The motorized brigade has also been hit hard, is it April Fool's Day today?
Since the appearance of the 36th Group, its own troops have suffered heavy losses repeatedly, first the 20 or so planes of the flying squadron were completely annihilated, then the entire army of the Botian detachment, then the entire army of the tank wing, and now the motorized brigade has been severely damaged.
A series of successive blows almost collapsed Noda's confidence, and if it weren't for the commander of the Tenth Army, Noda Miyahiko might have completely collapsed under this series of blows.
The little devil chief of staff next to him, Nagata Sadao, saw that his commander's face was extremely ugly, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency Commander, the matter has come to this, we can only minimize our losses, and at the same time, we need to reestimate our opponent." ”
The words of the chief of staff of the little devil made Noda Miyahiko feel a little better, thought for a while, and asked, "Nagada-kun, what countermeasures do you have?" ”
Nagata Sadao sorted out his thoughts a little, and then plucked up his courage and carefully said his plan, "Your Excellency Commander, our opponent is stronger than we imagined, which can be seen from the annihilation of the Hata detachment and the chariot wing, I personally believe that our reinforcements should stop marching to prevent being broken by each of the [***] squadrons, as for the motorized brigade, they can only order them to break through the encirclement and retreat in the direction of Wuhan, and they can withdraw as much as they can." ”
Listening to the words of the chief of staff of the little devil, Noda Miyahiko's heart was silent, and at the same time, his heart was full of sadness, if the motorized brigade that had lost its ability to maneuver retreated in the direction of Wuhan on two legs, it would only be more auspicious.
Noda Miyahiko was silent for a long time before he gave an order with difficulty: "Order, the reinforced troops will return the same way, and the motorized brigade will immediately retreat in the direction of Wuhan." ”
After giving the order, Noda Miyahiko sat on the chair weakly, his face was pale, and the helplessness in his heart could not be described with pen and ink. The little devil's chief of staff looked at his commander, who was also powerless, sighed, and turned to send a report......
The motorized brigade of the little devils, the broken vehicles are arranged in a long queue on the road, the remnants of hundreds of little devils are treating the wounded, the captain of the little devil brigade looks at the corpses of the little devils everywhere, the trucks are all scrapped, and several armored vehicles have also lost their ability to maneuver, and only a few machine guns on the cars may still be used.
The entire motorized brigade was gloomy, many little devils were silently sorting out weapons and ammunition, silently lifting away the corpses of little devils, and many seriously injured little devils were lying on the ground and moaning in pain, and the sound sounded very miserable.
The sunset in the distance dyed the sky red, and the captain of the little devil was pale, looking around a little helplessly, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance made the captain of the little devil nervous immediately.
The captain of the little devil brigade, who felt bad, immediately picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, only to see a large number of Chinese cavalry in the distance riding war horses, galloping towards this side.
The captain of the little devil who secretly screamed in his heart immediately shouted: "It's not good, there are Chinese cavalry, everyone pay attention and prepare to fight back." As soon as the words of the little devil captain fell, many little devils immediately set up their machine guns in a panic, ready to shoot back.
In less than a few minutes, twenty or thirty crooked machine guns were erected, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed at the Chinese cavalry rushing from afar.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment also saw the little devil's motorized brigade, and the commander of the cavalry regiment Kong hurriedly raised his hand and signaled everyone to slow down and stop, and the soldiers of the cavalry regiment, who were not in a hurry to attack, reined in their horses one after another and stopped a few hundred meters away from the little devil's motorized brigade.
At present, the reality of the little devil's motorized brigade is not clear to everyone, the cavalry regiment Kong Tuan held his own binoculars, and carefully observed from a distance, the more he looked at it, the more frightened the head of the Kong regiment became, good guy, the number of machine guns of the little devil on the opposite side is really a lot, just now fortunately did not rush to attack.
Captain Kong, who was scared out of his sweat, secretly shouted luck in his heart, fortunately brought more than a dozen 60 mortars today, otherwise, if he wanted to eliminate the remnants of the little devils on the opposite side, he didn't know how many brothers would have to be sacrificed.
Several little devil armored vehicles on the road in the distance, which looked damaged but not very bad, and I don't know if they can still fire, if a few armored vehicles of the little devils can still fire, plus a lot of crooked machine guns, the whole regiment of their cavalry regiment recklessly charges forward, then the fun will be great.
At the same time that Regiment Commander Kong secretly shouted that he was lucky, the captain of the little devil saw that his soldiers had set up so many machine guns in such a short time, and many little devils who had only been slightly injured had become machine gunners themselves, and the machine gunners on several armored vehicles were also ready.
Seeing this scene, the little devil captain was still frightened just now, but at this time he was a little better, and the little devil captain thought to himself, so many machine guns, as long as the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side dared to rush over, he would definitely be told to go and not return.
But the little devil's hope was immediately disappointed, and the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side actually stopped slowly, and the captain of the little devil saw that the Chinese cavalry was not in a hurry to charge, and immediately shouted angrily: "Baga, the Chinese cavalry is cunning and cunning." ”
The commander of the cavalry regiment, who was watching the little devil from afar, looked at the telescope for several minutes, and then slowly put down the telescope, a smile appeared on his face, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up and set up mortars, and see that there is no motorized brigade of the little devils on the road in the distance, give me a damn bomb." ”
In less than a few minutes, more than a dozen 60 mortars were erected, a soldier picked up a shell, put it in the muzzle of the 60 mortar, looked intently at a little devil armored car in the distance, and then let go of his hands holding the shell, only to see a muffled sound of "tom", this shell flew into the distance, and then exploded on the road, killing three little devils, but it was several meters away from the little devil armored car that was just aimed.
"Pillar, you're fucking crooked." Commander Kong next to him scolded with a smile, and the soldiers of the rest of the cavalry regiment also let out a good-natured laugh.
The soldier who had just fired the cannon blushed embarrassedly when he saw that he had missed the shot, carefully adjusted the firing angle of his mortar, picked up another shell and fired it again, and with another "tom", this time accurately hit the little devil armored car.
The little devil armored car, which was already a little damaged, was blown out of a big hole, and puffs of smoke came out, looking at this posture, it won't be long before this armored vehicle will burst into flames.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment next to him immediately applauded when they saw that they had accurately hit the armored car in the distance, and even the commander of the cavalry regiment Kong praised loudly: "Pillar, fight beautifully, come again." ”
Seeing this, the remaining dozen or so 60 mortars also immediately opened fire, starting with one or two shells from everyone, maybe the accuracy was a little off, but the more accurate they became, several armored vehicles of little devils, in this round of mortar strikes, were basically scrapped, seriously damaged, and many little devils who were hiding in armored vehicles and preparing to shoot were killed.
In this round of shelling, not only were several of the little devils' armored vehicles destroyed, but some of the already relatively dilapidated trucks were also blown up, in addition, many of the little devils were also killed, and some of the crooked machine guns that the little devils had just set up were also blown up into the sky.
Seeing the good artillery effect, the commander of the cavalry regiment was full of emotion, the mortar power of the 36th group is really good, this kind of mortar is not only light in weight, but also can be carried by the cavalry, and has high accuracy and long range.
Kong Tuanzhong looked at these dozen or so 60 mortars with great envy, thinking that these guns would be returned to the Third Infantry Division after the battle, Commander Kong was still a little reluctant in his heart.
In less than a few minutes, Regiment Commander Kong saw that everyone's shells were almost finished, so he raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush, rush up and chop the little devil." ”
Nearly 2,000 soldiers of the cavalry regiment rushed towards the little devil with their sabers held high and shouted.
The motorized brigade of the little devils, at this time, the remnants of the little devils, including the wounded, were only two or three hundred, and many crooked machine guns that had just been erected were also blown away by the intensive shelling of the 60 mortars just now.
The remnants of the little devils, seeing the surging Chinese cavalry, their faces were full of despair, many of the little devils in the shelling just now, they were holding their heads to avoid the bombardment of the shells, but as soon as the cannonfire stopped, the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side was already rushing to the front.
Looking at the cavalry rushing in, the remaining little devils picked up their weapons in a panic and prepared to shoot back, but it was too late in time, and many little devils had not yet set up their machine guns when they found that the Chinese cavalry had arrived in front of them and raised their sabers.
The Chinese cavalry immediately crushed the resistance of the little devil, and as soon as they rode their horses and ran in front of the little devil, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment decisively cut down the little devil.
Not long after, the broken highway was full of the neighing of war horses, and the popping sound of sharp knives penetrating flesh everywhere, and in less than ten minutes, the remaining hundreds of little devils were all cut down, and even the captain of the little devils was stabbed several times, and fell to the ground with an unwilling face.
Many little devils are blurred flesh and blood, some little devils are in different places, nearly two thousand Chinese cavalry, dealing with two or three hundred remnants of little devils, it is simply a naked massacre, the little devils just want to resist, they are cut down to the ground by several Chinese cavalry.
Some of the seriously injured little devils lying on the ground were either trampled to death by the surging war horses, or were mended several times by the soldiers of the cavalry regiment.
