The order Takagi Takeo received was to destroy the new regiment of cavalry and then use squadrons as units to infiltrate and bypass the rear of the Eighth Route Infantry to cut off the Eighth Route's supply line.
Today, only cavalry can break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army infantry.
So I saw that the cavalry battalion of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army was going to have a decisive battle with the cavalry regiment.
He directly overwhelmed all the cavalry, and even the cavalry artillery squadron and the machine gun squadron participated in the chopping battle.
The goal is to eliminate the new cavalry battalion in the shortest possible time, and then move on to complete the next mission.
As Takagi Takeo issued the order, the Japanese cavalry urged their horses to start walking slowly.
Takeo Takagi, who was in the middle of the cavalry team, had a cold murderous intent on his face.
More than 1,300 Locust Army cavalry defeated more than 00 Eighth Route Army cavalry.
The advantage is mine.
After walking slowly for a while, both the new cavalry regiment and the Japanese cavalry changed from walking to jogging, then gradually to jogging, and finally to sprinting!
During the sprint, the Japanese cavalry gradually moved toward the Eighth Route Army cavalry.
The vast cornfield became the battlefield for the decisive battle between the cavalry of both sides. The Japs had short legs, so they clamped their legs tightly on the horse's belly. Their entire upper body leaned forward, and their right hand held a 32-style saber and stretched it forward, with the tip of the saber pointing forward.
Eighth Route Army Cavalry.
At this time, the Japs had only one idea in their minds: chop off the heads of the Eighth Route Army cavalry!
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry of the Eighth Route New Regiment and the Japanese cavalry approached quickly.
Just when the distance between the two sides was 300 meters, a sudden change occurred!
When the Japanese cavalry saw the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side, they put their sabers back into their scabbards.
This incredible scene made the Japanese cavalrymen, including captain Takagi Takeo and adjutant Masao Tanaka, suddenly look confused and confused.
What's happening here?
Is the Eighth Route Army committing suicide attacks?
The 10th Cavalry Regiment also has relatively rich combat experience. It has experienced cavalry confrontation, dismounted combat, and pursuit and cavalry shooting.
But I have never seen such a scene. When the enemy was charging and slashing with the cavalry regiment, the enemy put his saber back into its scabbard.
Takeo Takagi and Masao Tanaka both know that the cavalry battalion of the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is equipped with semi-automatic rifles, but is it a little late to take out the semi-automatic rifles at this time?
No matter what the situation is, the Eighth Route Army cavalry put away their sabers, which is a good thing for the Locust Army!
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Takagi Takeo's eyes and expression were full of murderous intent, and the Japanese cavalry also started chirping strangely.
But the next second, the strange screams of the Japanese cavalry all stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of horse hooves, and the fierce expressions on the faces of the Japanese cavalry also froze.
Because the Japanese cavalrymen saw that the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side put their sabers back into their scabbards and took out their submachine guns...
Devil Cavalry: "*@%..."
When they saw the Eighth Route Army cavalry pull out a submachine gun, the Japanese cavalry were stunned.
My heart suddenly screamed that it was a scam!
The quick-reacting Japanese cavalry scolded Baga angrily, and continued to extend the tip of his saber forward, with his entire body pressed against the horse's back.
But the cavalrymen of the new regiment turned their horses and rushed to both sides while pulling the triggers of their submachine guns.
More than 00 submachine guns opened fire almost at the same time. In the dense gunfire like exploding beans, submachine bullets poured like rain towards the Japanese cavalry.
All of a sudden...
Pieces of Japanese cavalry fell on their backs, like wheat being cut down by sickles. Pieces of Japanese cavalry were hit by submachine gun bullets during the extremely fast sprint, and then fell to the ground.
Although some Japanese cavalrymen are very stupid and stick their entire body to the horse's back.
But the cavalrymen of the new regiment were not fools. They aimed at the Japanese horses and made a sudden attack.
At this time, the cavalry on both sides happened to be within a range of 00 meters, which was exactly the range of the M3 submachine gun.
Effective range, but not maximum range.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the new regiment practiced submachine gun shooting for one day, but they had no accuracy, let alone accurate marksmanship.
However, the army horse was so big, and it kept rushing towards them in a straight line. They didn't even need to press the gun, they just fired directly at the Japanese army horse.
"idiot!"
Takagi Takeo looked around, and his eyes suddenly burst with tears.
I saw that under the firepower of a submachine gun fired by the Eighth Route Army cavalry, his cavalry fell on their backs in succession.
The war horse in front fell to the ground, and the fast-running horse behind it rolled and fell to the ground. The Japanese cavalry was violently thrown out under the influence of inertia.
Many bullets did not hit the Japanese cavalry on horseback, but hit the army horses. The army horses screamed and neighed when they were shot.
However, can a cavalry without war horses still be called a cavalry?
"spread!"
"spread!"
Colonel Takagi Takeo immediately roared and issued the order.
Suddenly, Takagi Dazuo heard a scream from the war horse under his crotch. Takagi Takeo secretly thought that it was not good, and his expression suddenly changed.
The tall white military horse under his crotch was shot in the head. The military horse seemed to have been drained of all its strength and fell to the ground. At this time, the military horse was moving at high speed. Takagi Takeo was thrown out along with the fallen posture of the military horse.
Then, Takagi Osaka was trampled to pieces by the surging horseshoes from behind.
"Co-Captain!"
When the adjutant Tanaka Masao saw this scene, he was so distraught that he shouted loudly.
00 meters away, and charging at opposite directions, it only takes about 10 seconds for the two sides to collide.
Within these 10 seconds, it was enough for the new group of soldiers to shoot out all the bullets in the submachine gun magazine.
Since they dispersed widely from the beginning, the cavalry of the new regiment did not collide with the Japanese cavalry, but divided into two parts and staggered away from the Japanese cavalry from the slope.
After the cavalry on both sides staggered, they reined in their horses and turned their horses' heads back to face each other again.
The adjutant of the cavalry regiment, Masao Tanaka, looked at the cavalry team and his expression became extremely gloomy.
I saw that only about half of the cavalry regiment, which originally numbered more than 1,300 cavalry, was left, and even the commander of the regiment, Osaka Takagi, was shattered.
Many cavalrymen were shot by their horses, fell off their horses, and were trampled to death by the horses behind them.
The Japanese cavalry, including Masao Tanaka, never expected that the Eighth Route Army cavalry would be so ungrateful to martial ethics!
Can the cavalry use their submachine guns to attack and slash?
"Baga!"
"The machine gun squadron sets up the heavy machine guns!"
"The cavalry artillery squadron sets up the mortars!"
Masao Tanaka ordered loudly.
Takeo Takagi died in battle, and now he is the supreme commander of the 10th Cavalry Regiment.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side had completed its U-turn and was charging towards us again with submachine guns in hand, the Japs from the machine gun squadron and cavalry artillery squadron dismounted, stepped on the ground with their toes, and immediately got back on their horses.
Mounting heavy machine guns and mortars takes time.
At such a short distance, the Eighth Route Army cavalry would not let them set up heavy machine guns and mortars.
"The 1st Battalion of the New Regiment Cavalry, attack!"
As Battalion Commander Cao issued the order, the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, with reins in one hand and submachine guns in the other, launched a full-speed charge without giving the Japanese cavalry any time to breathe.
