Chapter 342: The Destruction of the Japanese Cavalry
Chapter 342: The Destruction of the Japanese Cavalry
The vigorous charge of the Japanese cavalry stunned the Chinese officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield. Then the officers and soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield became visibly panicked and began to flee in all directions.
The chaos of the Chinese army in front made the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, who was leading the charge, feel so much pleasure of revenge. Run, run, you Chinese soldiers will pay a heavy price for your previous stupid behavior. You actually dared to ambush your own cavalry troops. Damn it.
Li Zhengying was extremely happy when he saw that the Japanese cavalry had already started the charge. It seemed that the officers and soldiers behind him acted very well in the panic, which made the Japanese army relax their vigilance.
Now, they just had to wait for the Japanese army to fall into the trap. Li Zhengying and all the officers and soldiers of the New 100th Division who were lying in ambush on all sides were lying on the ground, staring closely at the charging Japanese cavalry troops.
Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, commander of the 13th Division Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese Army, was charging quickly on his beloved warhorse.
Suddenly, the cavalrymen in front of him fell out one after another, along with their horses. The neighing of horses and the shouting of officers and soldiers filled the entire battlefield.
"Damn, the Chinese army is so cunning that they even set a trap here. We were careless." The commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, also rushed into the trap area on his horse.
With the neigh of his warhorse, the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, flew forward under the action of inertia.
After the Japanese cavalry entered the trap area, the surrounding Chinese officers and soldiers quickly fired at the Japanese officers and soldiers who fell off their horses. The dozens of Japanese cavalrymen behind who had not yet entered the trap area finally stopped their horses, but before they could make any move, they were shot very accurately by the sharpshooters of the New 100th Division.
The commander of the corps, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, fell to the ground and rolled several times. He was bruised and swollen, with several scratches on his face. Blood was flowing from his nose, and it was unknown where he hit it.
The commander of the wing, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, lay on the ground for several seconds before his head, which was a little dizzy from the fall, returned to normal.
As soon as he regained consciousness, the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, shouted to the surviving officers and soldiers to fight back with carbines and ordered everyone to retreat.
He needed to withdraw his troops from the ambush circle of the Chinese army. This time, the Chinese army was clearly attacking the entire cavalry unit in a planned and step-by-step manner.
The commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, also realized that the Chinese army was about to launch a large-scale attack on the north side of the Xiangzao Highway.
But what the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, couldn't figure out was where the Chinese army would get the troops to launch the attack?
Judging from this ambush by the Chinese army, they had obviously planned it long ago. They even knew the patrol routes of their own cavalry units clearly, and the series of plans were connected perfectly. This was definitely not a simple ambush.
The Chinese army is preparing to wipe out all of my cavalry units. No, I must report the situation here to the infantry units on the defensive positions behind and ask them to prepare for defense.
The idea of the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, was beautiful, but the reality was too disappointing. Under the fierce shooting of the officers and soldiers of the new 100th Division, the surviving Japanese cavalrymen could not even stand up.
Wherever there was a counterattack, the Chinese army would immediately come under fire attack. The regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, could only crawl slowly backwards on the ground. He had no choice but to not dare to stand up for the sake of his life.
The officers and soldiers of the suicide squad have already eliminated all the Japanese troops behind them and are crawling towards the trap area.
When Li Zhengying saw that the cavalry behind the Japanese army had been eliminated, he ordered everyone to stop shooting and began to charge towards the trap area.
The rest was much easier to deal with. There were not many Japanese cavalry left. Under the encirclement and suppression of so many times their own troops, the Japanese cavalry would definitely have no chance of survival. So the plan formulated before the war had a perfect start.
When the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, discovered that the Chinese army's shooting had stopped, he shouted to all the survivors to run back quickly. When Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono stood up for the first time after falling off his horse, he found that a large group of Chinese soldiers were rushing up from behind him.
The regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, also held his command knife and shouted as he led dozens of remaining officers and soldiers to attack the Chinese army. He knew that he would not be able to escape today.
Now, the only thing in the mind of the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, was to kill a few more Chinese soldiers, so that he could die a worthy death.
But what made the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, feel sad and angry was that these Chinese soldiers who rushed over from behind suddenly shot at him. Wasn't it agreed to fight hand-to-hand? How could they shoot at such a close distance?
The commander of the wing, Lieutenant Colonel Ono Yukichi, held his command knife tightly in his hand, his eyes wide open, and fell straight back. A big bloody hole appeared on his forehead.
Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono did not expect that the Chinese army was so unmartial. He was hit by eight bullets in an instant. The most obvious one was the bullet on the forehead, which allowed the regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel Yukichi Ono, to go to see Amaterasu without any pain.
"Hurry, clean up the battlefield and shoot those who are still alive." Hao Jian held his German mirror box and shouted orders to the suicide squad officers and soldiers around him.
Before the charge, Hao Jian had already told all the suicide squad officers and soldiers that if the Japanese army also launched a charge, they should directly use guns to resolve the battle. This would be fast and avoid casualties. As to whether this was a bit unethical, this was not within Hao Jian's consideration.
When it comes to the Japanese, Hao Jian doesn't care about any martial ethics at all. He has only one goal, which is to kill as many Japanese as possible.
If the Japanese have any grudges, they can go and talk to the King of Hell of China, and he will just send the Japanese to hell.
Li Zhengying also rushed to the battlefield with his men. He was very satisfied with the speed at which Hao Jian's side killed the enemy.
"Deputy Ying Hao, well done. Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and then we will launch an attack on the Japanese infantry positions. The division commander is still waiting behind." Li Zhengying said hurriedly as soon as he saw Hao Jian.
You know, in the later action plan to capture the Japanese positions on the north side of the Xiangzao Highway, Hao Jian and the soldiers of the suicide squad will play a very important role.
