When at least 50 submachine guns were leveled in a row more than 100 meters away, a torrent of hot metal was sprayed from the muzzle that made the eyes scorch.
Fujiwaraichi, who quickly hid his body under the horse's belly, finally understood.
He understood the source of his previous heart palpitations. If something goes wrong, it would be a monster. No matter how stupid the Chinese are, they will not slow down their horses and wait to be slaughtered. They control their horses' speed at medium to low speeds just to ensure their safety.
The muzzle of the gun can be held flat and stable.
It was more than fifty German flower traps, the most terrifying individual-soldier continuous-fire firearm on the Chinese battlefield.
In the northern battlefield, the Imperial Army had already suffered losses from this weapon.
However, the Chinese do not have the ability to equip all of them with such automatic firearms. Only the most elite Chinese troops have them.
However, the cavalry possesses such weapons and is organized on a large scale. This is the first time on the battlefield.
Yes, although the submachine gun has ferocious and sharp firepower, its range is too short, only a hundred meters away. For a cavalry duel, the opponent with the highest horse speed can almost charge at full speed with just one breath.
Therefore, very few cavalry are equipped with submachine guns, and most of them are mounted rifles with a longer range. This ensures that the saber duel will begin after shooting.
However, Tang Dao took a different approach. After escorting the artillery into the city with a cavalry company, he went to Lieutenant General Wu and asked him to take out at least half of the submachine guns equipped by the guard battalion directly under the general's headquarters for him to deploy.
Then, Tang Dao, who had already had a brilliant record of destroying three gunboats and 400 Japanese infantry, found Gong Shaoxun with a 55 submachine gun, and directly threw the single-shot bolt-type lance aside.
Deputy Director Tang's idea was so unreasonable that when Gong Shaoxun and the two cavalry company commanders were still a little confused, the two cavalrymen ran back from the river, followed by a large group of Japanese cavalry.
The combat power of three cavalry companies is roughly the same as that of a Japanese cavalry squadron. There is no reason to run. If you can't run, you can only do it. The submachine gun sent by Deputy Director Tang is the only way to reduce your own casualties and still give unsuspecting people.
The opponent brings enough weapons to hit.
Although Gong Shaoxun had never done this before, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accompany Deputy Director Tang to fight with the Japanese cavalry.
What does it look like when more than fifty submachine guns fire simultaneously?
From the perspective of the young cavalryman following behind, he could only see the smoke rising when the submachine gun fired, covering up the backs of his comrades.
That's a concentrated fire of more than hundreds of bullets per second.
The MP28 has 32 rounds of bullets in a long magazine. Tang Dao's order is to fire empty bullets in the shortest possible time, abandon the gun, draw the saber, and fight the enemy.
It took almost only four seconds for the Chinese cavalry who turned their horses' heads to sweep towards the two wings to empty their submachine guns. They dropped their guns regardless, drew their sabers, clamped their legs around the horses' bellies, and waited to greet them.
The fierce collision and cold sword flash of the Japanese cavalry rushing in.
The Japanese cavalry 120 meters away was knocked upside down by the sudden torrent of metal.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether they hide or not. Whether they can survive depends on God.
The Chinese cavalry moving on horseback had no intention of aiming at all. They held their submachine guns flat and squeezed the trigger, causing a sudden burst.
The 16,000 rounds of bullets that were fired were not meant to shoot people, but only to hit horses.
When a 9 mm caliber Luger bullet hits a horse, it will create a bloody hole. Even if a horse is hit by multiple bullets, even a tall and strong Japanese horse cannot withstand such a blow.
I don’t know how many war horses rushed tens of meters due to inertia and fell down with a miserable scream after being completely exhausted. I don’t know how many war horses directly smashed to the ground with their cavalry on the spot, and then hit their companions behind them who had no time to dodge.
trip over.
The Japanese cavalry formation, which was originally as fierce as a stormy wave, was instantly shattered.
But submachine guns that rely on probability to kill people and horses are not omnipotent. If there is a probability of killing someone, there is a probability that someone will survive.
The smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves shrouded the figures of the Japanese cavalry until the first, second, and third Japanese soldiers raised their sabers and ran wildly into the Chinese cavalry array that was still moving toward the flanks.
‘Cang! Cang!’ The sound of metal friction at the moment when the swords and lights came into contact made people have the urge to cover their ears.
The Japanese cavalry rushing over at high speed had the advantage of speed, and the tall Japanese horses had a natural advantage in weight. Once they collided with the Chinese cavalry, the Chinese horses were often violently knocked away, and the cavalry and the horses fell down.
.
Three rows of cavalry were completely killed by the Japanese cavalry. The war horses led the Japanese cavalry at high speed for seventy or eighty meters before slowly slowing down and turning their horses' heads to face the Chinese cavalry who also turned their horses' heads.
In the moment of close combat, at least twenty Chinese cavalry fell, while the Japanese only fell seven or eight at most. Judging from the battle loss ratio between the two sides, the Japanese cavalry had all the advantages.
However, as the commander, Fujiwara didn't feel any joy at all. Looking at the less than thirty cavalrymen pitter-pattering to the left and right, he felt extremely regretful in his eyes.
An entire cavalry squadron, including 98 men, lost more than two-thirds after a charge.
Fully half of the people did not fall by the Chinese swords, but died by the Chinese guns. The reason was that he was too proud.
His pride was not that he underestimated the Chinese people, but that he made a fatal mistake and overestimated himself.
Since these Chinese people dared to leave the city to ambush three gunboats with terrifying naval guns, how could they be afraid of his cavalry squadron?
Perhaps they had never thought about escaping from the beginning. In fact, they had already known that the imperial cavalry would be scouting along the river bank, and had already set up a formation to wait for the arrival of themselves and others.
A large number of terrifying submachine guns were the gifts they had prepared, which were enough to make up for their shortcomings in horses and mounted combat.
After all, he still took it a little too much for granted.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he regrets, it is useless. What he has to do now is to lead the last remaining group of people to safeguard the honor of the Imperial Army Cavalry, kill through the enemy's formation again, and leave indelible scars on the opponent.
Even though the opponent's strength is more than three times his.
Even if the distance between the two sides is less than 100 meters, their horse speed will be on the same starting line.
The opponent's submachine gun should have fired empty bullets. In cavalry combat, the great Imperial cavalry will not be afraid of any opponent.
The moment Fujihara fell into self-blame and mustered up the courage to slowly point his saber forward, the Chinese cavalrymen were also secretly shocked.
They had dealt with the Japanese army on the North China battlefield, and had also fought with the Japanese cavalry on a small scale, but the combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry in front of them still exceeded their imagination.
Under the concentrated fire of submachine guns, only a small half of the remaining cavalry were able to escape the barrage. However, these more than forty cavalry caused more than twenty casualties to the two cavalry companies on their side. If they killed all the troops,
It's really hard to imagine what kind of damage it will cause.
The young cavalryman had no time to be frightened. He was busy bandaging the wound of the pale squad leader beside him.
The veteran's left arm was broken at the elbow. It was the work of a Japanese officer. If the veteran hadn't reacted quickly enough and galloped over to block the Japanese officer's sharp saber with his left arm, I'm afraid it would have fallen to the ground.
Half of an arm, but the head of a young cavalryman.
"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm useless." The young cavalryman choked and wrapped a bandage around the veteran's horrific wound.
He tried to block the bleeding wound, but it was obviously in vain.
The broken arm was bleeding almost like a fountain. Maybe within a few minutes, the veteran would fall into a coma and die due to excessive bleeding.
The old soldier's face turned pale in pain and he was sweating profusely, but he grinned with difficulty, "Don't cry, kid, the battle is not over yet! When the battle is over and I die, you won't be too late to cry. Don't worry, hurry up and give it to me."
Tie it up."
It was also Tang Dao's first time experiencing a mounted battle, and it was the first time that China's strongest soldier felt the terror of blades clashing at high speed.
Because he was at the front of the Chinese cavalry formation, at least two Japanese cavalry were charging toward him.
Fortunately, Tang Dao, who had completely controlled his body, had a neurological reaction far beyond that of ordinary people. In this type of combat, which he was not familiar with and was not good at, he still avoided the opponent's sword and successfully sent the saber into the opponent's waist and abdomen.
However, for the first time in this era, he missed. The huge momentum forced him to give up his sword to avoid being dismounted by the horse passing by at high speed. As a result, he was unable to kill the second Japanese soldier and could only watch helplessly.
Watching the Japanese soldier break into the formation, chop down a comrade on the cavalry with his sword, and finally break out of the formation.
It seems that I am still more suitable for infantry!
With a bit of melancholy, Tang Dao took out his rifle from his rifle pouch, inserted the bayonet on his waist into the bayonet, and then
"shot!"……
