Chapter 1048: Showing Two Hands (First Update!) )
Wang Ping's eyes kept staring at the captain of the Devil Cavalry Wing and the more than two hundred cavalry who did not move beside him.
Seeing that they were preparing to retreat, he frowned and ordered: "Target the road between 650 meters and 800 meters, open fire immediately, fire rapidly in two minutes, don't save shells for me!" ”
"Target: Highway ...... Distance, 65 to 800 meters, no need to test fire, just fire! The two company commanders who followed Wang Ping ordered excitedly.
A full twenty cannonballs swept over Wang Ping's head with a screeching sound, and in less than three seconds, a string of fireballs rose from the middle of the devil cavalry in his field of vision.
A lot of devils were blown up along with people and horses, and then a violent explosion came.
"Boom~"
The first round of explosions was not over, and the second round of fireballs rose into the air in the middle of the chaotic devil cavalry.
The biggest advantage of mortars is the rate of fire, which can be more manifested in rapid fire.
Twenty shells, like rain, were constantly falling on the road and nearby, and no one knew where the shells would come from.
The reaction speed of the devil cavalry was not slow, and after a short period of confusion, they sat up and dispersed, leaving the road.
Then, regardless of the troops on the battlefield that had not yet been withdrawn, he turned around and ran back, wanting to leave quickly.
"The direction remains the same, the distance is increased by three hundred meters, there are no cannon five shells, fire now!" Wang Ping stared at the battlefield, silently calculating the distance between the devils and himself and their retreat speed, and ordered after a short analysis.
At this time, some people will say that the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and the cannon that follows them will definitely not hit the target.
However, Wang Ping did not follow the retreating devil cavalry, but pointed the muzzle of the cannon in front of the devil, their inevitable path, and then fired the cannon when they passed.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
The sound of the explosion came, and although it was far away, the two company commanders could still faintly see the picture of the devil cavalry being blown away in the explosion.
The suspicion just now was all gone, and he showed an expression of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Wang Ping's order reached their ears again: "The distance is increased by 400 meters, and there are no artillery shells for ten shells, so fire immediately!" ”
The two company commanders immediately reacted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Adjust the artillery immediately and open fire~"
In less than a minute, ten shells were fired. The two company commanders hurriedly shifted their gaze to Wang Ping, waiting for a new order.
In their eyes, although Wang Ping is not a professional artilleryman, the two hands that he showed just now are even more professional than professional artillerymen.
"The direction remains the same, the distance is six hundred meters, and the attacking troops who have just retreated from the devils have no guns and five shells!" Wang Pingxin's order woke them up from shock. Answer right away.
"Yes, Chief~"
After the two mortar companies adjusted their distances twice and fired five rounds of shells each, Wang Ping finally put down his binoculars, and the serious expression on his face relaxed!
Then he ordered the brigade commander not far ahead: "Let the troops rush out and clean up the battlefield!" ”
"There must be a lot of little devils on the battlefield who are wounded, let the soldiers pay attention and kill them all!"
"Also, send some more troops to search the surrounding area, many war horses that were not killed have run away, all of them will be collected for me, I can't figure out that the first cavalry battalion of the military region will rely on these war horses!"
With the remnants of the soldiers, he ran all the way for three kilometers before the captain stopped.
Glancing at almost half of his subordinates around him, the Wing Captain's face, which had just recovered a trace of blood, turned pale again.
Before he could speak, the adjutant next to him reported with a calm face: "Sir, the guard squadron and the ninth cavalry squadron that did not participate in the attack lost a total of eighty-nine cavalry, all of which were caused by the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army. The attacking troops originally withdrew more than 200 people, but because of the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army, they finally lost nearly 100 people! ”
"I counted the number of people just now, and there are 284 cavalry left in the entire wing...... Of the three Shaozuo captains, only the captain of the first brigade withdrew, and the other two were all shattered! ”
"Also, the heavy machine gun team and artillery team reinforced by our cavalry wing were all lost on the battlefield and were not withdrawn!"
"The troops have suffered heavy losses, and after the loss of heavy machine gun and artillery teams, our firepower on the battlefield will be greatly weakened. What to do next, please decide as soon as possible! ”
The wing captain did not speak with a calm face, but his heart was struggling like a river.
There are less than 300 cavalry left in his hands, and it is too dangerous to continue to reinforce Liulin, and I don't know if the cavalry wing will be here tonight.
The bloody battle just now had made him calm down from his arrogance, and then recognize his current strength.
However, Liulin is too important, to put it more seriously, it is not only related to whether the cavalry wing can complete the reinforcement task, but also related to the life and death of thousands of imperial troops on the front line.
If you fight out the cavalry wing and there are less than 300 cavalry left to save thousands of imperial troops on the front line, it will definitely be earned for the empire.
Soon, the co-captain with a hesitant face made a decision!
"Is there any other road that can bypass the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front and reinforce Liulin?"
"Yes!" The adjutant affirmed.
"However, it will take at least three more hours to get to Liulin!"
The wing captain's brows furrowed again: "If there are three more hours, it will already be three o'clock in the morning when we arrive at Liulin, I don't know if we can catch up!" ”
"In this way, the troops will rest first, and we will immediately send a telegram to the commander-in-chief to report our current situation, and by the way, let him ask about the situation in Liulin County, and confirm whether we still have the need to reinforce Liulin, if there is, we will take a detour to reinforce, if not, we will withdraw directly to the station!"
The Japanese puppet army station, Yongsheng Dazuo's mood was the same as the previous two nights, very bad.
The night attack of the Eighth Route Army made him unable to defend against it, coupled with the lack of troops and ammunition in his hands, in the face of the sneak attack, he could only bite the head of the ninja, and he didn't even dare to fight back too hard.
"Sir, something has happened to the cavalry wing!" Just as he frowned, thinking about whether there was any way to solve the night attack of the Eighth Route Army once and for all, the adjutant shouted with fear on his face as soon as he rushed into the tent.
"The cavalry wing had just left the garrison less than twenty kilometers before it encountered the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army...... The cavalry wing failed to break through the interception of the Eighth Route Army, and instead lost more than 700 cavalry. They reported that the troops could only go around to reinforce Liulin, but it would take three more hours, and whether to continue reinforcements! ”
"What? Lost more than 700 cavalry...... How is this possible, the Eighth Route Army of the Suide Military Region has no cavalry, only infantry, how can the infantry inflict so many casualties on the cavalry wing, won't their heads run? ”
"It's not clear about the lowly position, but they're waiting to call it back!" The adjutant shook his head and replied!
