Boom boom boom...

Jinju battlefield.

On each artillery position of the Japanese army, muzzle fireworks continued to flash, and 75mm artillery shells arced across the sky and fell towards the deep positions of the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei.

In the Japanese offensive position, the 11th Cavalry Regiment was ready.

Short in stature but strong in body, the Japanese cavalrymen of the Kwantung Army, who were well-dressed, drew out their shining Type 32 cavalry swords one after another.

More than a thousand white Type 32 cavalry swords flashed dazzlingly in the sun.

An unstoppable momentum spreads out from the Japanese cavalry.

In terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will, the Japanese cavalry of the Class A Division are definitely the first echelon of Asian cavalry.

Behind the Japs cavalry, waves of little Japs gathered in large groups.

However, the little devils spread out relatively far apart from each other, fearing a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army's air force.

at the same time.

On the left and right sides of the 11th Division, the Japanese 40th Division and the 56th Division were also beginning to gather to prepare for a stud attack.

However, because all the mountain artillery and field artillery of the artillery regiments of the three divisions were shelling the main position of the Eighth Route Army.

The 40th Division and the 56th Division could only use a small number of mountain artillery and Type 92 infantry artillery to bombard the Eighth Route Army positions.

Compared with the artillery fire endured by the main position, the left and right wing positions of the Eighth Route Army in central Hebei Province felt like they were scratching an itch.

But Masao Watanabe and Shigeichi Aoki had no other choice.

Takashi Takamori wanted to attack in a stud style, and the two divisions could only follow up and use the last bargaining chip in their hands.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander."

"Our artillery has been shelling the Eighth Route Army positions for 20 consecutive minutes. Do you want to order the artillery to stop?"

At the headquarters of the Japanese 11th Division, Masao Nishihara asked Takamori Takashi.

Takashi Takamori looked at the watch on his hand. In the past 20 minutes, the locust army had poured at least 5,000 artillery shells into the main position of the Eighth Route Army.

And their three regiments did not have many artillery shells left.

Takashi Takamori quickly walked to the edge of the headquarters, stepped on the ladder, raised the telescope on his chest, and looked in the direction of the main position of the Eighth Route Army.

All I could see was smoke covering the sky and the sun in the direction of the main position of the Eighth Route Army.

"Order the 11th Cavalry Regiment to attack immediately, and order all artillery groups to stop firing immediately and disperse and take cover immediately."

Takamori Takashi gave the order in a cold tone.

The best way is to let the artillery regiments continue their shelling and fire in the direction of the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions.

Although there are no shooting elements from the Eighth Route Army artillery position, firing artillery in the direction of the Eighth Route Army position can also have some suppressive effect.

However, the Eighth Route Army had air support, and Takashi Takamori did not want his artillery regiment to suffer a devastating blow.

"Hi."

Saihara Zhengfu suddenly lowered his head.

Then he turned towards the phone, grabbed the phone, and quickly turned the handle.

…

At the attack position of the 11th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, Colonel Tanigawa Senji, the commander of the Cavalry Regiment, who received the order to attack, raised the general's sword high in his hand and shouted hysterically:

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

The more than a thousand Japanese cavalrymen behind them all raised their Type 32 cavalry swords and shouted loudly.

More than a thousand Type 32 cavalry swords chilled my skin under the sunlight!

The 11th Cavalry Regiment was at full strength before today, with a total of more than 1,300 cavalry, including 1 cavalry artillery squadron, 1 heavy machine gun squadron and 3 cavalry squadrons.

However, in the morning, the 11th Cavalry Regiment was killed by aircraft of the Eighth Route Army, killing nearly 200 cavalrymen.

Compared with the cavalry troops of the Jizhong Eighth Route Army opposite, the Japanese cavalry troops were even smaller.

"Kill me..."

Colonel Tanigawa Senji suddenly pointed his sword forward in his hand and took the lead in urging his horse to run forward.

As Colonel Tanigawa Senji moved forward, more than a thousand war horses behind him began to move forward.

The war horse first cantered and then slowly accelerated.

As the horse's hooves rolled, smoke and dust quickly rose into the sky.

The Japanese cavalry looked ferocious, roaring and roaring, accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves.

It was like a huge yellow wave sweeping towards the main position of the Eighth Route Army.

…

"Report to the commander, the Japanese have dispatched a cavalry regiment and are attacking our main position!"

In the headquarters of the Central Hebei Army.

Just as the gunfire stopped, the communications staff officer answered the phone and reported to District Chief Lu in a solemn tone.

The Japanese did not pour much artillery fire on the forward positions. This wave of artillery bombardment by the Japanese artillery was mainly aimed at the deep positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Because the main force of the Eighth Route Army would retreat to the artillery holes in the deep positions when the Japanese bombarded them.

During the shelling, the telephone lines at the forward position and the headquarters were blown up by Japanese artillery shells.

But it's not a big problem. The scouts in the forward positions are equipped with walkie-talkies.

When the Japanese dispatched cavalry to attack the position, the scouts immediately reported directly to the headquarters using walkie-talkies.

"The target of the Japanese cavalry is probably our artillery position!"

"Sending infantry up, it's too late!"

District Chief Lu frowned slightly:

"Send out the cavalry regiment immediately to fight against the Japanese cavalry!"

So far in this battle, both sides have risked their lives, and the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong troops have suffered considerable casualties.

but.

The Jizhong troops must hold out until the main force of the new regiment arrives.

The Japanese wanted to defeat the Jizhong Eighth Route Army before the main force of the new regiment arrived.

"yes!"

The communications staff member straightened up and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie:

"Call the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, call the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, this is the Jizhong Command, and I order you to go to the main position immediately to fight the Japanese cavalry regiment!"

District Chief Lu raised his wrist and looked at the watch on his hand.

In a few minutes, a new regiment of air support would arrive.

The enemy's artillery fire has begun to become a little sparse.

Within a few minutes, the Japanese would definitely not be so quick to disperse and conceal the three artillery regiments. The aircraft of the new regiment should be able to make considerable gains.

…

Following the order from Jizhong Headquarters.

At a location not far from the main position.

"Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, mount up!"

The leader of the newly formed Jizhong Cavalry Regiment put away his mobile phone, got on his horse and shouted loudly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Behind him, more than a thousand cavalry regiment soldiers mounted their horses.

The original Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has been merged into the New Regiment and became the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the New Regiment.

After the 16th Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese 4th Cavalry Brigade was killed, the Jizhong Eighth Route Army captured almost all the horses of the Japanese Cavalry 16th Regiment.

Li Yunlong also gave the Jizhong Eighth Route Army a batch of equipment including Yunlong knives and carbines to strengthen the cavalry regiment.

Therefore, the head of the Jizhong Military Region reorganized the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.

After half a year of training and enhanced equipment, the new Jizhong Cavalry Regiment carried forward the bloody fighting spirit of the old Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.

The combat effectiveness of the new Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has exceeded that of the old Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.

"Shoot with your carbine from a distance, and chop with your saber if you're close!"

"Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, attack the enemy!"

As the cavalry commander gave the order, the soldiers followed the cavalry commander and headed towards the main position to fight.

On the smooth terrain, the Jizhong troops were equipped with a large number of Czech and Maxim weapons.
