The Hua Yuan brigade on the left collapsed at the first touch, and Yamamuro Munetake's order to retreat arrived. Isamu Tanabe pulled back the reins, reined in his mount so that its front legs were in the air, looked around and shouted: "Retreat, retreat."
"Hey," a horse neighed. Thousands of horses turned around one after another under the control of the riders, and then ran along the circuit in a denser formation. At the head was the Komuro brigade that was originally lagging behind, captain Yukiya Komuro. Rushing in the first column, he was controlling the horse to gallop while loudly conveying Hua Yuan's retreat order. Suddenly he heard the roar of an engine from the right front, and then at least thirty or forty headlights turned around. The strong light made his eyes His eyes were dizzy, and he was startled. He subconsciously tightened the reins, and the horse immediately stood up and let out a neighing sound.
Almost instinctively, the hundreds of horses following him all made the same move, and then there was a sound of flattering neighing. In just two minutes, the nearly a thousand galloping horses of Komuro's brigade came to a sudden stop. come down,
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?" A squadron leader who didn't know what was going on asked as he stepped forward to ask. As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of artillery fire rang out five or six hundred meters ahead on the right, and he subconsciously turned around to see more than a dozen fireballs. It had already exploded in their queue, and a cannonball landed almost right between him and Komuro Yukiya. Then, in a burst of fire, he and Komuro Yukiya howled miserably at the same time, waving their limbs and dancing on the top of the fireball. For a moment, they both turned into corpses and fell on the cold ice field.
It was Yang Jianfeng's regiment who arrived. As soon as the "Mandrill" heavy tank appeared in front of the joint cavalry force, it left a deep impression on the Japanese. If the Japanese cavalry outflanking from the left wing still had the courage when they were attacked by the "Yangzi Alligator" If they launch a desperate charge, they will not even have the slightest courage to challenge the "mandrill".
A 105mm caliber artillery shell will be an extremely vicious blow when it hits the enemy formation. It can definitely open a big hole. If it hits directly, it doesn't matter whether it hits a man or a horse, the result will be the same, a ball of fireworks. After it rose up, there was only a piece of minced meat and a pile of embers left in the place.
"We are surrounded." "Your Excellency, there are enemies in the south too."...The news that the enemy's approach was blocked soon reached Isamu Tanabe's ears. The little Japanese couldn't bear it anymore and cursed fiercely. : "Bagagaru, where are Sato's armored forces? Are they deaf? Why don't they come to support?"
"Tanabe-kun, please send a message to Lieutenant General Yamamuro for help immediately," said Lieutenant Colonel Ukyo Sengei, commander of the 106th Division Cavalry Regiment.
"Your Excellency, we have been separated from Mr. Changqiao." A staff officer answered him,
Changqiao was the captain of the communications team. At this time, he and the communications team he was in charge of had no idea where they were being hit by the rush of horses.
One after another, illumination bombs were launched into the sky, and the unique gunfire of "Weiqing style" and "Qubing style" rang out. More Japanese were brought down, including men and horses. Horses neighed and people howled. Among them, there were Many people were thrown off their horses by the frightened horses, and then they were dragged by the horses and ran wildly on the ice field. They howled hysterically, and the screams were so miserable that the little devils were filled with liver and gallbladder, and they were in panic all day long.
"Withdraw east, east, east." Tanabe Yuong assessed the situation and decisively changed the direction of retreat. Oh, no, it should be the direction of escape.
At this time, only 3,500 people remained in the nearly 5,000 cavalry combined force.
The Japanese army fled to the east. Qian Guangming saw it from a distance and sneered coldly: "It's really the right way to heaven if you don't take it. There is no door to hell if you break in." After that, he picked up the microphone and called Xu Er. Gu Bing, commander of the 17th Brigade, gave him an order: "Let brothers pay attention to your position. Once you are within range, blow up the Fuhe River for me."
"Received." Zhang Cheng understood the idea and said,
There was constant sound of gunfire from the northeast. After listening to Sato's report, Yamamuro Munetake learned that the enemy had a large number of chariot troops and came from the east. He was furious and cursed angrily: "Eight squares, the first What did the aviation regiment's scouts do? Didn't they say that the enemy troops from Xiangshan have already gone to Yongxiu? Ba Ge, could it be that they are Yu Gan's enemies? But isn't there only one regiment there?"
At first, Yamamuro Zongwu wanted to concentrate on annihilating the oriole, but now he discovered that the oriole turned out to be a goshawk. He stopped thinking immediately. A severe choice was placed in front of him. For the cavalry combined force, To save or not to save, "Ba Ge, Ba Ge, Ba Ge." He cursed repeatedly, and suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision: No matter what, let's report it to the commander and ask him to make a decision.
In terms of explosive power and flexibility alone, the cavalry unit is far superior to the chariot unit. And if the chariots of the Cadet Army were not particularly thick-skinned and durable, it is still unclear who will win in a serious confrontation between the two sides. Of course, , In the current battlefield in the eastern suburbs of Nanchang, this assumption is not valid. Not to mention that the Japanese army's hasty response sequence has been completely disrupted. Let's just say that the "Mandrill" and "Yangtze Alligator" of the Ninth Division, these two tanks are not only Their own protection ability is super strong, and the weapons they are equipped with are particularly sharp. Therefore, even if the little devils are prepared and equipped with a large number of explosive bags, cluster grenades and other explosive weapons, the problem is that they cannot get close.
The Japanese cavalry all turned around and ran eastward with a roar. In just five minutes, they dragged the pursuing army down more than a thousand meters. In the process of escaping, Tanabe Isamu and Ukyo's avant-garde frequently looked back and saw that this After one o'clock, the two people's tense faces relaxed slightly, and their high-hanging hearts finally returned to their chests. "If we work harder, we can get rid of the Chinese people's pursuit." Isamu Tanabe said. Encourage the soldiers under his command. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a scream of artillery shells sounded. The next moment, a firework rose up about five or six hundred meters away from him, and then there was a "rumbling" explosion. Voice,
When the screams passed over their heads, Tanabe Isamu, Ukyo Senge and other Japanese soldiers all felt their scalps numb and goosebumps appeared on their bodies. They subconsciously crouched on their horses. Then, they saw the Xuebingjun's After the bombardment took effect, Ukyo's vanguard laughed loudly and shouted: "Xinxi, the Chinese people's bombardment skills are really high."
"Hahaha, you can actually deviate by five to six hundred meters. Such a level is really amazing." Some Japanese agreed, and then laughed in unison,
The distance of five or six hundred meters was only half a minute for the horses that had already started running. The little devils continued to laugh. About two or three hundred horses in front suddenly screamed, and just as they screamed In the middle of the battle, at least thirty war horses and the Japanese soldiers they carried rushed into the cold Fuhe River. Then the shrill neighing of horses and howls of people rang out. The Japanese soldiers quickly tightened their reins, but Despite this, nearly a hundred riders could not hold back their momentum and rushed into the cold Fuhe River.
The Fuhe River that was broken through the ice instantly turned into a gate to hell, and began to mercilessly swallow up the lives of the Japanese cavalry.
