Chapter 62 Annihilation of the Little Devils Cavalry Squadron
Chapter 62 Annihilating the Little Japanese Cavalry Squadron
"How is the situation now?" Li Da asked with concern.
"The Bantian Alliance has broken through three of our ambush circles, and several comrades from the district teams have been captured by the little devils," Captain He said sadly.
"Aren't you fighting this battle just to harass the little devils? Why did you get yourself involved?" Li Dazhen said something inappropriate.
"This wave of little devils is really difficult to deal with. They actually asked the cavalry to go to mines, and they responded very quickly. If our county brigade hadn't reacted quickly, we would have been almost surrounded."
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a while.
"Our leader knows that these little devils are difficult to deal with, and he doesn't trust you, so he sent our independent brigade over. Let's talk about how many people there are." Li Da took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
"There are also three county brigades and eleven district teams, with a total of about 500 people," Zhang Zhiming said.
"Our independent brigade also brought more than 500 people this time, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, seven light machine guns, and two 60mm mortars." Li Daben said.
Li Daben thought to himself that this time he could live up to his addiction as a group leader.
Nothing has happened yet, Li Da has the ability to appoint himself an official.
"The little devil must be camping in the village at night. If we go to harass him, if we are chased by the cavalry, we will be in trouble. We have to kill the little devil's cavalry first." Li Da took the lead and said.
"The Little Japanese Cavalry is leading the charge. Let's dig a horse pit behind the ambush circle. Then the Little Japanese Cavalry will be a living target," Zhang Zhiming suggested.
"The mine array must be arranged longer, otherwise it will be easy for the Japanese infantry to catch up." He Chunsheng said.
"The pit for trapping horses does not need to be too big. It only needs to be as big as a sea bowl. Mines can also be placed around the pit. At the same time, a group of people can be arranged to throw grenades at the little devils, which is enough for the little devils to drink a pot." Li Da capable added.
The three of us said something to each other, and the plan quickly took shape.
The Sakata regiment here broke through three ambush circles of our local armed forces one after another, and there were only more than 70 little Japanese cavalry left. As the squadron leader, Iwai Nosuke's face twitched with distress, but due to Sakata Nobutetsu's order, he could only go all the way.
Launch a charge.
"Sir, if this continues, our cavalry team may not have much left after the sweep," said a little Japanese cavalryman.
"Baga, I want to complain to the brigade commander about this guy Nobutsu Sakata," Iwai Nosuke said through gritted teeth.
"Give me a shot." Unknowingly, the little Japanese cavalry had distanced themselves from the infantry.
"Captain, Iwai-kun's cavalry has disappeared." Captain Nishida Masao of the 11th Battalion, who was at the front of the marching column, jogged to report.
"Baga, is this stupid pig like Iwai Nosuke really easy to mess with?" Sakata Nobutsu suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. Since he entered the base area, the main force of the Eighth Route Army didn't even see a shadow, and the surrounding villages were even more deserted.
No one.
"The Eighth Route Army must have received intelligence in advance, otherwise it would not have been possible to evacuate so quickly. Mr. Xitian, lead your brigade at full speed. When you encounter the enemy, wait for reinforcements on the spot. Remember not to pursue. I want to see what the Eighth Route Army can do.
What's the trick?" Sakata Nobutsu said slyly.
"Hi"
By the time the words were spoken, Li Daben and his party had arrived at the planned ambush location. Comrades from the Liao County Brigade had been ambushing here for a long time.
"Captain He, Captain Zhang, why are you all here? Didn't you mean to ambush the little Japs?" Zhao Ertie, the captain of the Liao County Brigade who took the lead, asked with a confused look on his face as he didn't know what happened before.
"Captain Li, this is what happened." He Chunsheng briefly explained what happened before.
"What time is it? The little devils are right in front of you. It's time to speak. Hurry up," Li Dazhi said anxiously.
"The ground we are standing on has been laid with mines five miles ahead. Don't lay them too densely, but lay them sparsely. If the bombs won't kill the little devil, they will scare his horses."
"Everyone else goes to the back and digs a horse pit, which is as big as a bowl of ocean and as deep as a hand grenade. Wherever there is space, I will plant mines." Li Da was able to think of himself as the commander of the regiment. This was enough fun.
The soldiers were mobilized, and several leading captains gathered together.
"Captain Li, will the sparsely deployed mines work?" Zhao Ertie asked.
"Old Zhao, don't you know how powerful the land mines we made ourselves are? I didn't intend to use these mines to deal with the little devil's cavalry. As long as the mines sound, the little devil's cavalry will definitely rush forward regardless of it.
, by the time he discovered the trap, it was already too late. By then, with thousands of us, we would be able to kill a hundred or so little Japanese cavalry, wouldn’t it be easy for him to do so?" Li Da’s ability is such that he doesn’t accept life.
Started cheating again.
Don't worry, everyone heard that it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Li Da's ability was learned from his experience. When he joined the West Route Army, one of his divisions was forced to run away by the Ma Jiajun's cavalry, and in the end the entire army was basically wiped out.
This incident became Li Daben's nightmare. He often woke up in his dreams. Li Daben often reviewed this battle. With the firepower of the Western Route Army at that time, it was really impossible to engage in a field battle with the Ma Jiajun unless there were a large number of light and heavy soldiers.
Machine guns, over time, Li Da gained some experience in dealing with cavalry.
"Captain Li, what you said makes sense. We will all obey your command in this battle," everyone said.
"Really?" Li Daben looked at everyone with his eyes wide.
"That can still be fake. As long as you can beat the little devil, you can do whatever you say!"
"Then you're welcome, Shitou. We'll place our light and heavy machine guns on the hills on both sides to form a crossfire. Everyone picks out your marksmanship and gather them together. The others are coming with grenades to greet them."
Great ability to give orders in an orderly manner.
"Yes" everyone responded.
"Captain Zhang, this Li Da is really very capable," He Chunsheng said while lying on the hillside.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Commander Zhou of the New Second Regiment is well-known throughout our base area for his talent in both literature and martial arts. How can he have weak soldiers under his command?" The sun was setting in the western mountains.
On Zhang Zhiming's face, he could only look sideways and said with half-squinted eyes.
"Sure, there's some movement, the little Japanese cavalry is coming." Digua ran over to report.
"Where are the little devil's infantry?"
"I didn't see anyone in the telescope," Digua said timidly, fearing that he would be scolded by Mr. Li again.
"That's great. This is God asking us to make a small fortune. I'll let you know and be prepared."
I saw the little Japanese cavalry rushing over in a swarm. The leading cavalry entered the minefield first and accidentally triggered the mine.
Upon seeing this, Iwai Nosuke shouted loudly: "Give me some." The little Japs who heard the order launched a desperate charge.
The mines were detonated one after another, and the little Japanese who rushed ahead had already seen the horse trap ahead, but the frightened horses still rushed forward regardless.
Some of the more than ninety little Japanese cavalry fell on the horse trap, and some were knocked down by people from behind.
When Li Dabenshang on the top of the mountain saw this, he shouted: "Hit me!"
A fire net composed of light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles instantly enveloped the panicked little devil, and three to four hundred grenades were thrown overwhelmingly at the little devil's head.
In just two or three minutes, the crowd of little Japs had already suffered heavy casualties.
"Sure, there are three little devils trying to run away," Digua said, pointing to the three little devils behind who had already turned their horses.
"Magnet, don't let them go," Li Dajeng shouted.
After receiving the order, Magnet quickly turned the muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and fired out a bullet plate in one go. The hot bullets hit the backs of the three little Japs.
"Stop fighting, clean the battlefield quickly, be careful not to be accidentally injured by landmines," Li Dabenzhi shouted loudly.
"Sweet potato, it's exciting, let's go, come and bring the horses back with me." It turned out that Li Dabao had taken a liking to the only three intact war horses left on the field. He greeted people tightly and went straight to the horses.
Sanshui had something to do during the day, so he came back quite late. I can only write one chapter.
