Chapter 65: Pursuit III

The regiment commander said while observing with a telescope in the direction where Li Yong and the others were: "The majority of the communist army is infantry, how can the speed of the infantry catch up with us, this must still be that small unit, the courage is not small, a small unit dares to chase us, the first unit is really not easy to understand." ”

As he was talking, a few shells came over, and an officer next to him said: "Regiment commander, although the communist army is a small unit, this unit is very well equipped, with a small number of mortars, which can attack from a long distance, and we have no way to fight back against their attacks, and we have no way to fight back beyond the range of our rifles, so we can only be beaten passively." ”

The commander of the enemy regiment hid behind a war horse and said: "This is a small group of communist troops, the number is not large, if it was a large army of the communist army, they would have rushed towards us a long time ago, their purpose is to entangle us, so that the main force of the communist army can surround us." ”

An officer next to him asked, "So what do we do?" We can't do this and wait to be beaten, or we should withdraw, if this small army is just trying to entangle us as I told you, and it will be too late for us to leave as soon as the communist army comes up. ”

The regiment commander glared at the officer who spoke: "The cavalry of several thousand men of the three regiments was frightened back by a small unit of the communist army?" Do you still have a face to live when you say it? Where do you put my face? How do you explain to the commander when you go back? Second battalion commander, take your battalion to rush over, try to get as close to them as possible, if the communist army runs away, you will chase them out of the mortar range, if you don't run, you will entangle them, don't the communist army want to entangle us, let's rush up and wipe out this small group of communist troops first, and then leave, and save this group of communist troops from following behind like hanged ghosts. ”

The enemy battalion commander who received the order rushed over with hundreds of enemy cavalry roaring, although the enemy cavalry in the northwest was not very well equipped, but the combat effectiveness was not bad, and the spies even fought with them several times so that the opponent did not play out, so this group of enemies is also a belly of anger, today is there a chance, fighting on the Great Plains We are still afraid of your hundreds of communist troops? They all waved the sabers in their hands and pounced viciously, hundreds of sabers shining brightly in the sunlight.

Looking at the enemy cavalry rushing over, Li Yong ordered: "The machine gun platoon is ready for battle. With Li Yong's order, there was a click sound of the heavy machine gun pushing the bullet to load, the shooter of the Makqin heavy machine gun was lying behind the machine gun, the deputy shooter was half-squatting and holding the long bullet chain with his hand, and the deputy shooter of the Type 92 heavy machine gun held the bullet box and inserted the bullet row in his hand into the card slot of the machine gun, and when the war horse approached more than 200 meters, Li Yong waved his hand down and shouted: "Start." ”

The old tradition of the Eighth Route Army is to fight close combat, and playing close combat can save ammunition and give the enemy maximum damage, but this tactic is not something that everyone can learn, one thing must be done, the troops must be able to hold on, to a distance of tens of meters, even the eyes and nose can see clearly, you are close to people, all within the range of melee weapons, compared to courage, but this point is not to Li Yong to worry about, the Eighth Route Army lacks everything, lack of food, lack of clothing, lack of ammunition, The last thing that is lacking is courage.

However, it is not appropriate to fight the cavalry too close, the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and if it is not good, it will rush up, and the distance of 200 meters is the time when the machine gun fire can be used the most, and the largest and most training of Li Yong with the troops in peacetime is the hard work of the infantry within 200 meters.

Four Makqin and six Type 92 heavy machine guns immediately spat out long tongues of fire, bullets like the scythe of death in the front of the position woven into a piece of fire net, strings of machine gun bullets whistling from the human body and horse body drilled in, the enemy's cavalry against the rain of bullets, but let alone a target as big as a man and horse, even a bird could not escape the rain of bullets fired by ten heavy machine guns, no matter what creature as soon as it entered this area blocked by heavy machine guns, it was immediately beaten into a paste.

The hundreds of enemy cavalry that charged were like ripe crops touching a harvester, and were cut down in pieces, and the blood that broke out of the human body and horse formed a blood line in the air, and when the last soldier was planted from the horse, it was still more than a hundred meters away from Li Yong's machine gun position.

Risking the lives of hundreds of soldiers, the enemy's charge only advanced less than 400 meters, and the enemy regiment commander watching from behind was furious, and ordered his subordinates: "All the troops are dispatched, and I will outflank them from both sides, I don't believe that I can't take this small group of communist troops." ”

The commander of this enemy regiment was the head of several regiments of cavalry, and it should be said that the enemy's decision was correct, and these people also understood that if they did not hold together, they would all be in danger of being broken, so the regimental commander gave the order, and the cavalry of the three regiments began to charge at the same time.

The sight of thousands of cavalry charging at the same time was great, the hooves of the horses rumbling the earth, and the flying dust blocked the sunlight.

At this time, Li Yong thought to himself, do you want to fight hard with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu was not so stupid, and said to the soldiers around him: "Move the machine gun and go immediately, withdraw." ”

By the time the enemy's cavalry came to the back of the small dirt bag where Li Yong and the others were staying, the soldiers of the special service company had already run out on horseback a few hundred meters away.

Looking at the soldiers of the spy company in the distance, the enemy's regiment commander gritted his teeth and said: "This group of communists is too cunning, and they have already guessed that we are going to outflank us from both sides."

An officer said to the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, the communist army is also cavalry, it is difficult for us to catch up, if we chase the communist army again, we will have to run backwards, so that we are getting closer and closer to the communist army, if we continue to chase down, will we fall into the evil of the communist army?" ”

The regiment commander thought for a while and said to the officers around him: We can't chase it, let's withdraw. After saying that, he ran back with the men and horses.

Seeing that the enemy was not chasing, Li Yong immediately ordered to stop retreating, let's go back, and when Li Yong and they returned to the back of the earthen bag again, the enemy's cavalry had already left, looking at the enemy cavalry Li Yong, who was getting farther and farther away, said: "Follow the past, keep a distance of about 500 meters." ”

At a distance of about 500 meters, the mortar can exert its power effectively, but it is still out of the range of the rifle, which is a game of long arms and short arms.

In this way, Li Yong followed the enemy's cavalry with a special service company all the way, as long as the enemy stopped, he used mortars to fire a few shots, the enemy chased after him with a small force to meet the battle, and the cavalry chased after him and retreated.

Fortunately, there are not many shells in the special service company and they dare not get too close, otherwise the enemy's losses will be even greater, seeing that the enemy's brigade of men and horses have all entered the desert, Li Yong told the soldiers that they can no longer chase, the desert does not distinguish between the enemy and me, and we will not be able to get out if we go in without preparation, our mission has been completed, return to the station. I can't figure out the book review area, it's too benzene.
