Under the fierce fire offensive by Ding Wei and others, the entire battlefield was almost covered with bullets.
Whenever gunfire sounded, the Japanese cavalry would fall off their horses in twos and threes, and the number of people dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although under the command of Ding Wei, the machine gun company and the 3rd Battalion cooperated, they pinned the Japanese in an area and beat them like a rabbit.
In the battlefield.
Horses that had lost their masters were running wildly in all directions, and corpses that had been trampled to a pulp were scattered on the ground.
The remaining three to four hundred Japanese cavalrymen were like headless chickens running around, no matter which direction they broke through.
What awaited them was a barrage of bullets, and they tried many times to break through, but all ended in failure.
After paying the price of nearly a hundred people, this group of Japanese cavalry finally learned to be smart.
They suddenly realized that they could not disperse their forces as they were now, otherwise there would be no chance of retreat.
The Japanese cavalry who were in desperate situation, supported by the desire to survive, began to gather their troops in a tacit understanding and launched an attack in one direction at the same time.
There were no heavy machine guns, and even if there were only two light machine guns, the firepower was relatively weak compared to the entire battlefield.
Even though there were hundreds of Ding Wei machine guns, they were scattered all over the battlefield in order to deal with this group of Japanese cavalry.
Overall, the firepower from all directions was sufficient, but once the Japanese cavalry concentrated their strength, they launched an attack at one point at the same time.
The weakness of Ding Wei's firepower was still revealed.
The cavalry is still a cavalry. Although the little devil was beaten by Ding Wei until he could not hold his head up, the basic mobility of the cavalry is still there.
With only two machine guns, it was difficult to withstand the attack of more than two hundred Japanese cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry concentrated their strength and launched several charges towards one point. Under the repeated attacks of the Japanese cavalry, the line of defense began to loosen.
Ding Wei immediately became happy. He understood that the Japanese wanted to fight to the death.
However, these devils are also smart, and they actually know how to concentrate their power on one point.
It's a pity that they understood it too late.
If they were outnumbered at the beginning of the battle, there would be absolutely no problem in breaking through Ding Wei's defense line.
But the fact is that when the battle started, they were fooled, their formation was broken up, and they have been at a disadvantage until now.
"Zhao Hu, continue to compress the front and surround these Japs here!" Ding Wei shouted.
"Yes!" Zhao Hu responded and ran down quickly.
Under Ding Wei's order, the front line was further compressed.
The machine gun company and the 3rd Battalion began to close in and surrounded the central battlefield from the left and right wings. The originally sparse firepower became concentrated again.
The Japanese cavalry in the encirclement finally broke through successfully, but at this moment there were only more than 50 of them left.
After breaking out of the siege, they ran towards Chengyang County almost without looking back.
The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the regiment, Kuroshima Morita, died in battle. This matter must be reported back, and then revenge for Kuroshima Morita.
At this moment, the Japanese cavalry who were lucky enough to escape only regretted that the horses under their crotches did not have two extra legs to allow them to run faster.
The rifles they were carrying had fallen to someone unknown, but they didn't care about that now, they just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Hold!"
Seeing this, Ding Wei cursed and immediately chased after him.
After all, some of the Japanese cavalry escaped, but fortunately there were not many of them.
Zhao Hu hurriedly wanted to follow, but Ding Wei didn't look back and said: "You stay here to clean the battlefield and gather all these war horses!"
Immediately, Ding Wei rushed out of the position, turned over and mounted a black military horse.
This military horse was the one under Kuroshima Morita's crotch. After Kuroshima Morita died, the military horse ran to a place by itself and grazed with its head down.
Ding Wei had taken a liking to this military horse early on, and while fighting, he was also observing its movements.
If it weren't for the bullets raging on the battlefield, Ding Wei would have wanted to bring this horse back.
This horse has bright eyes, a high and majestic head, small ears, wide nostrils, thick back hair, and strong, straight and long forelimbs.
There is hair between the big toes, the buttocks are slightly higher than the back, and the tail is covered with lots of long hair, which all prove that this is a good military horse.
The military horse that was grazing with its head down suddenly felt that there was an extra person on the horse's back, and he could clearly feel that the guy on the horse's back was not his master.
As a military horse, naturally not everyone can ride it. This horse wanted to throw Ding Wei off.
But Ding Wei was not polite. He knew that this kind of military horse must be extremely proud and very loyal to its master.
If you want to conquer it, you must have some strength.
Ding Wei held the reins with one hand, clamped the horse's belly suddenly, picked up the submachine gun, and shouted sternly: "Kill!"
With a roar, Ding Wei's murderous intent was revealed.
In addition, Ding Weiben has acquired many riding skills, so it is naturally very easy to tame this horse.
The army horse that originally wanted to become a demon seemed to sense Ding Wei's murderous intent, and immediately calmed down, and then rushed forward obediently.
Under the current circumstances, we must not let go of any of the Japs' cavalry, otherwise the Japs stationed around will definitely come to support us, and we will be in trouble by then.
Since the military horse under Ding Wei's crotch is Kuroshima Morita's mount, it is naturally superior to ordinary military horses in all aspects.
Not long after, Ding Wei caught up with the group of fleeing Japanese cavalry.
Before they realized it, a murderer came behind them, and they were still running away on horseback.
But because of the uneven terrain, it greatly slowed down their escape. The Japanese cavalry on horseback were anxious, but they still couldn't change anything.
But the black military horse under Ding Wei's crotch is different.
There are hairs between the toes of its big toes, which serve to isolate and protect the toes. The strong claws can help it stand firm on uneven ground, which is like walking on flat ground for it.
Riding on this horse, Ding Wei felt that there was no difference between running peacefully on the ground.
Ding Wei held the submachine gun in one hand, aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were lagging behind, and pulled the single-shot trigger.
As the gunfire rang out, the lone Japanese cavalryman wailed and fell off his horse, and the running horse also gradually stopped.
Then, Ding Wei turned his gun again and aimed at another Japanese cavalryman.
There was a gunshot, and another Japanese cavalryman fell off his horse.
Ding Wei pursued and fired at the same time. Every time he fired, one of the Japanese cavalrymen must fall off his horse.
The Boletta submachine gun was turned into a single-shot rifle by Ding Wei.
This simple technique comes naturally to Ding Wei, as the two sides always maintain a position of 50 meters.
The Japanese cavalry in front also became a living target for Ding Wei to practice his spear.
Ding Wei pursued for two or three kilometers and used most of the bullets in the magazine. There were only about 20 Japs cavalry left out of the originally more than 50 people.
When the Japanese cavalrymen who were escaping looked back, they saw that only Ding Wei was chasing them, and they suddenly became angry.
There are more than fifty imperial troops, but a Chinese soldier is chasing him like a lost dog?
After they were sure that Ding Wei was the only one, they stopped running away. They all turned their horses and lined up in a row. They all drew their sabers and pointed them at Ding Wei.
