Chapter 235: The Breakthrough Battle Against Encirclement and Suppression (9)

Wang Hu took the lead and raised the saber in his hand. Tightly attached to the horseback, he rushed towards the marching column, and on either side of him, a battalion of soldiers, lined up for several hundred meters, rushed towards the marching column of the Yuejun in the same way.

At this moment, the two battalions that had already detoured back to the vanguard of the army and the rear of the palace also launched a charge at the same time. Immediately, the whole battlefield resounded with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. The three attack formations form a simple semi-encirclement.

When Wang Hu rushed out of the woods where he was hiding, in the silent night, the sound of horses' hooves had already reached the ears of Yue Jun. Immediately followed by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, the fast-marching army immediately stopped unconsciously and looked towards the place where the sound was made.

However, just as they were stunned, the cavalry regiment's brigade had already appeared in the field of vision of the army.

"Baga, cavalry, cavalry of the Eighth Route Army... How is it possible..."The chief of staff of the army felt the earth that was already trembling, and was stunned. Said with his mouth open and muttering to himself.

"Baga, what are you doing in a daze? Quick, defense, machine guns, machine guns..."The chief of staff finally reacted, looked at the soldiers who were still in a daze, and scolded loudly.

"Baga, machine gun, quickly organize defense..."With the order of the chief of staff of the army, the captains of each squadron and each squad immediately began to curse, kicked awake the soldiers who were still in a daze, and let the machine gunners in his queue meet him. The neat procession was immediately thrown into chaos at this moment.

However, the army still concentrated dozens of light machine guns in the shortest possible time. At this time, the charging cavalry regiment was less than 500 meters away from the position of the army. And the war horse under the crotch, after nearly 500 meters of charge acceleration, has been mentioned as the fastest. Hundreds of cavalry lined up in a row, with the regiment commander as the center, like the wind, rushed towards the army, and the neat row of sabers, under the reflection of the moonlight, emitted a trace of cold light.

"Baga, machine guns are ready, quickly, line up...", the chief of staff of the army commanded loudly at the dozens of light machine guns concentrated. However, he did not know how much fire density could be from less than thirty light machine guns on a line of defense of a few hundred meters.

Dozens of tongues of fire spread out one after another on a defensive line of several hundred meters, and a weak network of fire was built 300 meters in front of the position. In the dark night sky, bullets flew in the air with bright tail flames, as clear as fireworks.

In the face of the bullets of the army, the charging cavalry did not have any fear, lowered their heads, put their whole bodies on the undulating horseback, and the right hand, held high the saber in their hands....even if a war horse was hit by a flying bullet, "plop" fell on the way to charge, immediately a new cavalry immediately filled the vacant position, no soldier will take a second look, they only have one belief, break through this fire net, you can hit these devils fiercely, and avenge the fallen comrades.

On the military position, one by one the machine gunners kept pulling the trigger, the deputy shooters around them were constantly loading bullets, and the yellow bullet casings were steaming hot and spit out of the chambers of the guns in the cold night. However, their efforts. And it didn't work out as expected. Because the cavalry charging on the opposite side did not decrease in any way, and the speed of the charge did not decrease in any way, the neat row of sabers glowing with cold light was rapidly approaching their position.

Looking at the sabers getting closer and closer, the machine gunners knew that they must be the first soldiers to fall under the cavalry swords, and that they would end up with a broken body. With this thought, the machine gunners began to panic on their faces, and they didn't want to pull the trigger so calmly just now, and even some soldiers were ready to retreat, and invisibly, the density of fire in front of the position suddenly decreased a lot, and the soldiers seized the opportunity and ran more unscrupulously.

Just when the devil was in a panic, worried about the cavalry with many battalions in front of the position, the one, two, and two battalions that had already detoured to the two flanks also appeared. They did not line up like the three battalions, but rushed towards the army in a sharp cone.

Seeing the cavalry in front of him, which was already less than 200 meters away from him, and seeing that his two wings were rapidly approaching his cavalry, the already panicked army finally collapsed. Because they all know that on the plain, on the plain without any fortifications, if you let the cavalry rush into your positions, then what will you be facing? It must be a dead body......

A soldier threw down the light machine gun in his hand, kept the commander's scolding and gunfire in his mind, and ran backwards desperately, trying to hide in the forest thousands of meters behind him when the cavalry rushed in front of him. With the first soldier who fled, immediately there was the second ... Immediately after the third... In the end, even the chief of staff of the army retreated to the rear under the protection of his personal guards.

However, no matter how they escaped, the two legs could not outrun the horse that had reached the limit of speed. The warriors roared loudly and rushed into their formation from the backs of the Japanese army. A sabre glowing with cold light, drawing a perfect arc in the moonlight, slashed at the back of the fleeing army.

A burst of blood flashed, followed by a scream, a round head fell to the ground, and a headless corpse fell to the ground with a "plop" in the direction of his escape.

The cavalry did not feel any excitement about killing a soldier, and once again raised his blood-dripping saber and rushed towards his next target.

The two battalions that rushed to the front of the Yue army from both flanks immediately turned their horses and changed the direction of their attack when they saw the Yue army retreating to the rear. rushed towards the retreating army and intercepted the retreating soldiers.

The two battalions were like two sabers, after rushing in front of the army, they charged back and forth in front of the army, and every time the troops rushed through, they would take the lives of at least dozens of soldiers. The cavalry went back and forth, and the position of the army became smaller and smaller, and there were fewer and fewer troops who could still fight in the middle of the position...

In this way, after half an hour, the battlefield was without the hustle and bustle just now, and the cavalry began to slow down their horses, wandering around the battlefield, searching for the remnants of the enemy, and looking at the entire way of the army's escape, there were round heads and corpses that had been trampled into flesh by the war horses, and the entire position was completely stained red with the blood and flesh of the army.

"Report to the commander, the cavalry regiment has successfully completed the task, and the 1,400 people in pursuit of the cavalry regiment have been completely annihilated, and the cavalry regiment has suffered 92 casualties, and the report is complete, and I ask for instructions for the next step..."

"Okay, it's good, it's a good fight, the cavalry regiment has finally given us a bad breath, and let that old boy in Sakai clean up the rest of the battlefield! Let him also let the army see what kind of fate will happen if he is bullied to the head of our Eighth Route Army's reading division. The more than 1,000 headless corpses on the battlefield were what would happen to them in the future. Liu Hua said excitedly.

"Yes, Commander, I will order the cavalry regiment to quickly withdraw from its position." Wang Hu replied with a salute.

Soon, the cavalry regiment, which had just gone through a terrible battle, came to the woods and gathered. At the same time, the thousands of soldiers who were resting in the woods stood up in unison, saluted the soldiers of the cavalry regiment, and expressed their excitement to them.

"Comrades, just now the cavalry regiment has wiped out the Japanese army that pursued us, and now we have no worries. This time, the Sixth Route Army in our base area has all withdrawn from the base area. Therefore, now, I have decided to withdraw to the base area and end this anti-encirclement and suppression operation. Liu Hua said loudly to the soldiers around him.

"Hooray... Banzai... We won... Victory..."As soon as Liu Hua's words fell, the excited shouts of the soldiers resounded in the entire woods.

"The comrades are quiet, and I know that the comrades are working very hard. However, we have to transfer tonight. Because we had just wiped out more than a large group of the Yue army, and after dawn, the angry planes of the Yue army would definitely bomb the surrounding woods, so we had to seize the remaining few hours, move to the mountains, and then turn back to our long-lost base area. Do the comrades have the confidence to walk out of the mountains and return to the base areas? Liu Hua asked loudly.

"There's... There isβ€”" The warriors' responses echoed through the woods.

"Well, now I order, all the cavalry dismount, the horses are handed over to our wounded, the three regiments are the avant-garde, the cavalry regiment is the rearguard, and the cavalry leaves a company of horses to patrol around without interruption, and everyone else is in the center. Let's go right now..."

In this way, after a small episode in the cavalry regiment just now, the troops got rid of the pursuit of the Yue army, jumped out of their field of vision, burrowed into the vast mountains, and walked towards the base area. And all that was left for the army was the corpses all over the ground.

Just as the cavalry regiment had just eliminated the pursuing troops of the Yue Army, Major General Sakai, the supreme commander of the Yue Army, was sitting leisurely at the command headquarters, squinting his eyes, waiting for the good news from the chief of staff. Because he believed that with the pursuing strength of his two brigades, he would definitely be able to destroy the Eighth Route Army, which had been exhausted.

However, instead of waiting for the good news, he waited for a piece of news that almost made him commit suicide by caesarean section. More than an hour after the pursuing troops set off, a squad leader with a bloody face and a broken arm was carried into the headquarters.

"Baga, how did you bring the wounded here?" Until this time, Sakai did not realize that his pursuing force had been completely annihilated.

"Report to the brigade commander, the pursuing unit led by the chief of staff was ambushed by the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army less than 3 kilometers from here, and the chief of staff ... The chief of staff and the 1,500 soldiers led by him were all wiped out. The injury, perhaps due to blood loss, struggled.

"Nani, ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, impossible, absolutely impossible, we have already reconnoitred, we have not found a large number of Eighth Route Army around us at all, you are talking nonsense... Yaga....Sakai pulled out the command knife from his waist and was about to slash at the wounded man lying on the stretcher.
