Lieutenant General Missichchenko seemed to sense the fighting spirit of this group of Chinese cavalry, he drew his saber, erected it in front of him, and swung it to the right to greet Xiang Xiang, who also drew his saber and saluted him according to the cavalry etiquette taught by Schroeder. Then he swung a sword vigorously and shouted, "Forward!" ”

While the cavalry charged forward, the commander of the 31st Wing of the 8th Brigade of the Reserve Division, Menji Jingliang Zhongzuo, looked at the hill in front of him angrily, as soon as the ambush battle just now started, he was taken aback, but fortunately his troops were not in the ambush circle, so he continued to organize troops to attack, in order to open the enemy's bandaging mouth and keep in touch with the 17th Wing, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and under the blockade of four machine guns, the five attacks he organized were repulsed. Or the subordinates didn't work hard enough, Menji Jingliang Zhongzuo thought that he would lead the charge himself in the next attack.

At this time, Fukuda, the adjutant beside him, suddenly pointed to the side and shouted. "Ahh Cavalry...... A lot of cavalry! ”

He was annoyed to see him lose his temper, but when he turned his head, he was stunned, two kilometers to the south, the snow field was no longer white, and countless Cossack cavalry pressed towards him like a huge dark cloud. He opened his mouth but made a sound, and after a long time, he shouted bitterly, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

The Russian cavalry was close at hand, on the plain, and the outcome of the Japanese army's preparations was tragic, especially when they did not have machine guns, although the Cossack cavalry moved forward slowly, but all the Japanese soldiers felt that they were in front of them, and many of them opened fire in fear, but after a while, these soldiers who fired would be reprimanded by the soldiers, and they were dragged into temporary bunkers or pressed to the ground. Nakasa was also lying on the ground, and suddenly he felt the ground shake. When I looked up, I saw that the Cossack cavalry at the front had already begun to run with all their might.

Thousands of Cossack cavalry rushed to the 31st Wing of Menji Nakasa, their battle line was only a short kilometer, the first few rows of cavalry shouted and opened fire, they were constantly killed and wounded by the Japanese and constantly replenished by the rear team, finally, the thin line of fire composed of rifles could not stop their advance, these thousands of cavalry washed over like a flood, quickly rushed the Japanese troops lying on the ground or in temporary bunkers to the side, countless soldiers were stabbed by their four-meter-long black cavalry spears, through, and then drag a segment. The screams finally fell silent.

Xiang Xiang's troops were also in this first wave of attack, unlike the Cossacks, they only had cavalry swords, and these more than 300 people rode through the rudimentary positions of the Japanese army, waving their swords in both directions. With the speed of his horse, he constantly cut down the Japanese soldiers who were frightened and got up and fled. Piercing a battle line of several hundred meters is only a matter of a dozen seconds for a cavalryman running at high speed. Xiang Xiang only felt that the past ten seconds were almost an hour, and he kept catering to the rhythm of the galloping horse, controlling the direction of the horse, trying to get as close as possible to the side of the Japanese rout, and then stretched out the riding sword for a long time, cutting one opening after another on those yellow shadows.

A wave of cavalry swept by. Then another wave of cavalry rushed in, and then another wave of cavalry, like wheat in a wheat field, washed many times. The 31st Wing was completely dispersed, after the cavalry, they all panicked to attack on the hill to the west, not so much an attack, but a rout, Peng Qingpeng, the commander of the independent army battalion in charge of the opening on the hill, saw them rushing to their position did not panic at all, just now when the cavalry army ravaged the Japanese like a flood, he was also shocked by such a fierce cavalry charge, looking at the Cossacks who were flowing under black pressure, he was imagining what would happen if he was there. When he came to his senses, the Japanese rout had already rushed over, and there was nothing to be afraid of these things that had already been frightened. He turned his head and said to the company commander next to him, who was still in a stupid state because of the cavalry charge, "Don't be stupid, shoot!" Knock them down. ”

More than 2,000 Japanese troops were dispersed like this, Xiang Xiang didn't have any addiction at all, and when he wanted to charge for the second time, the Japanese army had been almost solved, and the remaining rout soldiers rushed up the hill and were beaten down, and then rushed up again, and were beaten down again, they were probably stupid by the cavalry, and they were only willing to die on the hill rather than stay in the flat ground. Xiang Xiang pulled the reins, controlled the horse that was still restless, and scolded: "It's really not beaten, it's over." ”

Liu Dachun next to him said with a smile, "Battalion commander, what do you still want, this is tens of thousands of people pressing over, even if you don't shoot, you will trample them to death." ”

Although he understood this truth, Xiang Xiang was still very uncomfortable in his heart, the pleasure of riding on a horse and swinging his sword across the Japanese army position just now was too refreshing, and he hoped to come a few more times if he had the opportunity.

With some reluctance, Xiang Xiang ordered, "Find a place where no one is around, send a telegram to the headquarters, and report that the 31st Wing has been completely wiped out and the enemy general has been killed." Saying this, he suddenly shouted again, "Da Chun, quick! Go back there and look for it, where is the devil's wing flag? By the way, there is also the wing commander's command knife. ”

At the same time that the 31st Wing was attacking the encirclement of Zhakou just now, Menji Jingliang Nakasa had already sent a signal corps to the Eighth Division, and when this wing was destroyed, the signal corps he sent had already arrived at the Wolf Cave Valley, the assembly place of the Eighth Division. In his opinion, if the Eighth Brigade is ambushed, then Lu Guo is at least afraid that Heigoutai will be taken, and as for Shen Danbao, it should also be more auspicious, otherwise it is impossible to gather so many troops to encircle and annihilate the Eighth Brigade in the rear of Heigoutai, he looked at the division commander Lieutenant General Lijian and said: "Your Excellency, if the Eighth Brigade is surrounded, then it is very likely that Heigoutai has been lost, and we should do our best to rescue the Eighth Brigade." ”

After all, he did not agree with Yubi's construction: "On a night like yesterday, if the enemy can accurately ambush the Eighth Brigade, then they must know the route of action of the Eighth Brigade, and since they know the Eighth Brigade, they are also very clear about our situation." If they dared to ambush the Eighth Brigade so close at a distance of ten kilometers, then they must have a lot of troops, and it was impossible for one army as the command said. ”

Tachimi is already in his sixties, and he speaks spicy but very slowly, and Yubi sees that he doesn't seem to support what he says about the all-out rescue, and wants to ask him what he thinks but feels rude. I had to sit aside and wait for a while, and then I said, "Let Yitian go." ”

Ituda is Major General Kotaro Ita, who is the brigade commander of the 4th Brigade. According to the practice of ambushes, the general ambush troops are several times that of the ambushed people, and most of the brigades are surrounded, can they be rescued by only one brigade now? When the chief of staff, Yubi, wanted to send some more soldiers, he immediately saw that Shangwen spoke again, "Let them have lunch before going." If it can be saved, then it doesn't matter if it is an hour. ”

The commander's order has been given, and others have no choice but to say yes.

For the Japanese troops who acted overnight, it was really important to have a full meal. Moreover, according to the intensity of the war at this time, if you want to completely annihilate the Japanese army for most of the journey, an hour is not very important. It's just that the independent army, under the guidance of Yang Rui's epoch-making thoughts, has completely exceeded people's imagination of war in this era.

While eating in the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army. The battle to annihilate the Japanese troops in the encirclement began. On the north side of the hill, on the high ground that the Japanese army had fought to the death but had not occupied. Dozens of flying thunder guns were erected. "Bang, bang, bang......" dozens of explosives bags flew out, these flying thunders rolled happily in the air, and they didn't seem to be satisfied with the direction assigned to them by the barrels, but most of them had no way to borrow power in the air, and they fell in the trenches piled up with snow and corpses by the Japanese army, and they were "boom, boom, boom......", which exploded more violently than 150mm guns. The things that landed more than ten meters were blown up and splashed, and the things that were more than ten meters away were shocked and jumped, and then fell heavily on the hard and cold ground.

Hail of thunder fell on the Japanese position, rumbling with explosions. A few hundred meters away from the position, company commander Li Dagang shouted to his soldiers, "Shotguns, bayonets, front!" The back of the grenade! Grenades first! Get on the shotgun again! Finally get on the bayonet! Did you hear that?! Bomb first, then blast and stab last! Did you hear me? ”

The yellow dog was half squatting on the ground, he couldn't hear the company commander's voice very clearly, and only heard "Explosion!" at the end. Rumble! Stab! "The stinger! Words, he couldn't help but clench the gun he was holding, he glanced at the people with shotguns next to him, in fact, if it was up to him to choose, he still liked to take that kind of thing, this guy shot a big piece, how energetic, which like shooting himself may not be able to kill one. But who makes himself stronger than others, thinking about his own strength, he can't help but think of his mother! In the days of lack of food and clothing, his mother and relatives gave him the rest of their mouthfuls to eat. I'll be alive! I haven't done my filial piety to my mother yet! Thinking of this, he clutched the gun tighter and tighter.

When the flying thunder cannon was nearing its end, Li Dagang's mobilization was quickly over, and soon, the voice of "preparation" came to mind in the queue. Yellow Dog only heard a trumpet sounded, and rushed forward under the leadership of the team, he said before training, the bullets on the battlefield do not have eyes, it is possible that you will not be able to hit you if you rush fast, he doesn't know if this is the commander to coax people, but he can't help but follow the bayonet team to run faster and faster, he doesn't care about the explosion of grenades in front of him and the bombardment of shotguns, he just wants to rush to the enemy, unfold the knife technique that he has practiced hard before, and then pierce the bayonet into their bodies, In this way, his fear of death will disappear and his heart's violent beating will be calmed.

Squad leader Yoshida Shoichi heard Kiyokuni opposite. The shouts of the army "Ahhhhhh The soldier shouted, "The number can be ......," and just as he wanted to die like a samurai, there was a "boom", and he was hit by a shotgun and flew in the air for a long time before landing on the cold ground where the trenches could not be dug up. The shotgunner Liu Yongcai had already aimed at him, and he had already fired a shot before, but Shicai's shot missed because of the bumps in the run, and the lead bullet only cut through his clothes, but the second shot was hit by Liu Yongcai. Liu Yongcai rushed to the place where Yoshida died, reached out and scooped up the command knife that he had been slandering for a long time, and then stopped putting on his belt and continued to move forward. All the fronts of the Japanese army were broken through by the commandos, and these commandos did not stop after rushing through the thin lines of the Japanese army, but broke through behind the enemy in accordance with the drills, and the logistics team and the health team followed closely behind with the plow.

If the troops belonging to the 1st Division were as simple as cutting vegetables and melons to break through the Japanese defense line, then the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Division was as entangled as sawing wood. Although these beards are afraid of guns, they are not afraid of death, and in their opinion, guns can be faced calmly. But it was unacceptable to shoot a large number of dead artillery, but fortunately, the surrounded Japanese troops had no artillery, and they rushed down with bayonets under the orders of the Russian officers, and more than 1,000 people were in a tug of war with the hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the ravine. One moment the Japanese army retreated a little, and the other the beard retreated a little. Wu Baodi, who was on the mountain, was very entangled in his heart, what kind of battle was this fighting, there was no tactic at all, it was just fighting with his life, too ...... Zhang Zongchang, the commander of the Second Division next to him, was also extremely nervous. He asked Wu Baodi from time to time, "Should the reserve team be on the board, should the reserve team be on the board." ”

Wu Baodi endured impatience and said, "The ravine is too narrow, too many people can't put it down." It's useless to have more people go down. Commander Zhang is still waiting, waiting! Wu Baodi also followed the beard's name to Zhang Zongchang. In fact, just now he advised yì not to engage the enemy so quickly. Instead, a small number of people should engage the enemy and then throw grenades behind others. Although this grenade is not as convenient as the Baath Army, the explosives in it are more powerful than the black powder that crushes the pillar, but who knows Russia. As soon as the officer ordered everyone to rush down in a trance, in the end he stopped only a thousand people, and stabilized them in the words of the reserves. In Wu Baodi's opinion, these beards will not fight at all. They can only fight for their lives, but now that the Japanese are already a dish in the bowl, is it necessary to fight them for their lives? Although there are no shotguns, grenades from a distance solve a lot of problems.

Seeing that you have no advantage. Seeing that many brothers were stabbed to death by the Japanese, Zhang Zongchang slapped his thigh vigorously and shouted, "Spicy next door, let me go down!" Let's go! With that, he jumped and rushed down the hillside, and the guards behind him were thrown far away by him. Zhang Zongchang is nearly two meters tall and has long legs, and the Japanese kicked him out before he could get close, and at the same time, with a rifle in his hand, he smashed another devil to the ground with a gun. As soon as Zhang Zongchang came on the field, the beards nearby shouted, "Commander Zhang is here, Commander Zhang is here!" Brothers, fuck these dogs! ”

The tug-of-war situation finally took a turn for the better with the appearance of Zhang Zongchang and his guard company, and the Japanese army, who had been hungry and freezing all night, and had been fighting hard for a long time, finally couldn't support it anymore and retreated in unison. As soon as the enemy retreated, he chased after him, and it may not be his beard's ability to fight bayonets face-to-face, but they were still good at chasing and destroying the fleeing enemy, so they fled all the way and chased all the way, and the fifth regiment finally killed it.

At the pre-battle command post north of the ambush point, Lei Yizhen watched the staff officer mark the latest encirclement and annihilation situation, and when he saw that the fifth regiment was also killed, he laughed and said, "Oh, Zhang Zongchang has also been killed." I thought they were going to be stopped by the Japanese. ”

Bei Shoutong next to him also smiled: "Are the Japanese soldiers a water dog now, everyone can give a stick." Now their front line has been further compressed, and only three small strongholds are still desperately defended. I think the final annihilation will be done at two o'clock in the afternoon. ”

Lei Yizhen said: "The intelligence says that the Eighth Division has sent reinforcements, will it be too late to start cleaning the battlefield and transferring the wounded at two o'clock in the afternoon?" ”

Bei Shou said: "No! He said with certainty, "The Eighth Division's Tachimi Naowen is a bit difficult to mess with, it is said that he has defeated all the current Japanese generals, judging from the troops and time he has sent, he seems to have known our plot, and it is a bit difficult to eat them next." ”

Lei Yizhen also knew the next step, but he said, "The Russians will listen to us?" ”

Bei Shou said, "As long as we report the results of the annihilation of the Eighth Brigade, then they will listen to us." I'm worried that this old devil will not be able to play tricks, he chose only one brigade to come out, and this brigade should also be very careful, if you want to ambush again, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, let's send a report to the headquarters and communicate these thoughts to the chief of staff. We can only listen to the above and see how the next battle will be fought. ”

Yang Rui's stomach was not very comfortable for a day, and he would throw it out of the tent from time to time. At one o'clock in the afternoon, information about the encirclement of the 8th Brigade by the Independence Army finally appeared in front of Madlidov. Although the Independence Army had already reported that it was going to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Eighth Brigade, it was just a plan, and who would have thought that the Eighth Brigade would be really surrounded now.

"Is this true?" Colonel Madlidov asked pitifully, he was afraid that Yang Rui would say that it was fake.

Leo next to him replied in place of Yang Rui and nodded, "This is completely true." ”

The colonel was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, God forbid, and he surrounded the Japanese in a fight, which was great. He jumped up and said, "I'll report to the headquarters right away and ask the headquarters to send the Eighth Army to surround and annihilate him." ”

Yang Rui couldn't say that it was almost encircled and annihilated now, but he just stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "The encirclement is only a part of the Eighth Brigade, there are not many people, and according to the order, the troops will start to encircle and annihilate immediately." (To be continued......)
