On the plains of southwestern Shandong, the howling cold wind poured into the body from the mouth and nose, and the soldiers of the cavalry regiment leaned as much as possible on the horse's back.
"Commander, commander, the little devil cavalry is catching up!" a soldier of the cavalry regiment shouted.
When Sun Desheng heard this, he looked back and saw the pursuing Japanese cavalry following him like dog-skin plaster.
"Damn it, these dogs are following you very closely!" Sun Desheng scolded: "Don't worry about them, just keep moving forward!"
The horses ridden by the cavalry of both sides came from the same place, and they were all horses raised by the Japanese army.
However, the horses used by the Japanese cavalry were the best of the best. Although the horses ridden by the Southwest Shandong Cavalry Regiment were snatched from the Japanese horse farm, they were slightly inferior.
At the same time, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment were taller than the Japanese cavalry, and the burden on their horses was heavier. This meant that Qinglongji was right in front of them. Otherwise, if they continued to attack, they would inevitably be overtaken by the Japanese cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry regiment was forced to the foot of Qinglongji Mountain. Gradually, the 26th Regiment led by Kuroshima Morita and the 25th Cavalry Regiment coming from the east formed an encirclement on the cavalry regiment.
Both sides stopped in unison, and the cavalry regiment collectively turned their horses' heads and aimed their attack at the 26th Cavalry Regiment, which had been pursuing from behind.
On the broad plain, the war horses snorted, and white gas came out of the mouths and noses of both men and horses.
Looking at the approaching Japanese cavalry, Sun Desheng used his palms to comfort the restless horses, and then looked around. More than 500 cavalry regiment soldiers gathered together, facing the encirclement of the Japanese cavalry, their faces full of determination.
The Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army has more than 1,100 people. The weapons and equipment used are all Type 44 carbines, and the sabers are Type 32 cavalry sabers.
On the other hand, for the Shandong Southwest Cavalry Regiment, the rifles are mainly Japanese 38-type carbine, mixed with other miscellaneous brands, and the style of sabers is not unified.
Even for the Tainan Military Region Cavalry Regiment, all its weapons and equipment were captured from the cavalry regiment under the Japanese division. The carbines were all Type 38, and the sabers were also unified Type 32 cavalry sabers.

The specific combat effectiveness of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade is unknown as the two sides have not yet fought each other. However, during the pursuit between the two sides, before the handover between the two sides, the Japanese cavalry used their superb riding skills and shooting skills to inflict considerable damage on the cavalry regiment.
.
Sun Desheng and Qin Fuwen looked at each other, and both saw fighting intent in each other's eyes.
"Comrades, since our cavalry regiment was established, our superiors have given us good food and good use. Today's battle will be fought by our cavalry regiment first!" Sun Desheng paused, and then shouted loudly: "This is with the little devil.
This is the first time the cavalry fights. I ask you if you are afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" the cavalry regiment soldiers shouted in unison.
"Okay!" Sun Desheng pulled out his saber from the scabbard and looked up at the soldiers with high morale: "Since the establishment of our cavalry regiment, we have had one purpose: when we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!"
In front of the array of Japanese cavalry troops, Kuroshima Morita looked at the encircled Eighth Route Army cavalry who still had high morale and expressed admiration: "Since our troops arrived in China, we have fought many times with China's cavalry troops. Facing the Imperial
In the pursuit of the military cavalry, no Chinese cavalry has ever shown such morale!"
"Although they are not strong enough to fight against the Imperial Army, they are admirable opponents. Warriors, fight for His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Bancai!" a group of Japanese cavalry screamed.
"Cavalry regiment, attack!" Sun Desheng shouted.
Faced with Sun Desheng's order, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment responded with practical actions, drawing their sabers one after another: "Kill!"
Although they were currently surrounded by Japanese troops and were at a numerical disadvantage, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment showed their due bloodiness.
The distance between the two sides was less than 500 meters. As the speed of the war horses became faster and faster, in the blink of an eye, the two iron-hoofed torrents collided with each other.
Some of the soldiers in the front row of both sides fell off their horses, but the soldiers in the rear showed no intention of evading.
"Little Jaap, come on!" Sun Desheng raised his saber and took the lead. He cut off the oncoming Jaap cavalryman off his horse with a right lower blow.
Then he lay down on the horse, dodged the saber swung by the little devil next to him, and stabbed the little devil rushing forward with a right forward thrust.
The little Japanese cavalry was not good at fighting, but the impact speed was too high, and there was no time to dodge, so he had to lean back and try to avoid this attack.
Unexpectedly, Sun Desheng's saber struck him in the crotch, and then slashed along the crotch to the little devil's belly.
The little devil screamed in pain, with no intention of fighting back. He held his belly and fell down from the horse. He was trampled by the horse's hooves for more than ten times, and then there was no movement at all.
On the other side, as the political commissar of the cavalry regiment, Qin Fuwen's equestrian stabbing skills were not inferior to Sun Desheng's. With a powerful slash, the head of the little Japanese cavalryman on the opposite side was chopped off from his horse.
After the Tainan Military Region Cavalry Regiment arrived in Southwest Shandong, the backbone of the Shandong Southwest Cavalry Regiment was selected and brought mature equestrian and stabbing skills to the Shandong Southwest Cavalry Regiment.
The knife technique is simple and practical, with seven moves in total: slash to the right, slash to the left and right, thrust forward to the left and right, and thrust downward to the left and right.
In the flash of swords and shadows, the cavalry regiment rushed out from the Japanese encirclement.
Sun Desheng wiped the blood stains on his face with his hat and looked around at the soldiers. Qin Fuwen was safe and sound, but at least one-fifth of the other soldiers died in just one charge.
It has to be said that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army is indeed the elite of the Japanese army. Although the morale of the cavalry regiment is high, it is not enough to erase the strength gap between the two sides.
The two sides faced off again, but this time the Japanese cavalry was placed in front of the mountain forest.
The location where the cavalry regiment stayed was extremely clever. It was exactly where a group of light and heavy machine gun firepower points were concentrated.
Thousands of Japanese cavalry lined up neatly again. Kuroshima Morita was in the center of the formation. Looking at the Eighth Route Army cavalry who were fighting to the death on the opposite side, he couldn't help but nodded, raised his saber, and was about to continue to order the attack.
"Click, click, click!" Gunfire erupted not far behind. A group of twenty-seven heavy machine guns and nearly a hundred light machine guns opened fire, and a dense rain of bullets poured in the direction of the Japanese cavalry.
The little devil was suddenly attacked and fell into pieces like corn.
"Nani?" Kuroshima Morita was shocked. He saw that the right rear of the cavalry formation was cleared. In an instant, at least four hundred Japanese cavalry were swept off their horses.
At the same time, an artillery battery deployed in the mountain forest suddenly opened fire at the location of the Japanese cavalry.
The trajectory of the artillery shell across the sky was clearly visible, and Kuroda Morita shouted: "Spread out, quickly!"
