The Muma River originates from Wutai Mountain, loops around the south of Xin County, and finally merges into the Hutuo River.
Judging from the map, Xin County is less than 20 kilometers away from the Muma River. Xin County is just a small county in the middle of Shanxi. However, Xinkou Town under the jurisdiction of Xin County is world-famous. The Japanese general Seishiro Sakagaki relied on half of the first
The 5th Division defeated the Central Army at Xinkou in one fell swoop, and the Shanxi-Sui Army's thirty divisions were in the limelight.
History has once again given the Chinese team the opportunity to prove themselves again.
A year ago, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army were defeated by half of the Japanese 5th Division in Xinkou. But today, a year later, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army were able to completely annihilate the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.
The opportunity is still near Xinkou. The Chinese and Japanese armies have gone around in a circle, but they still have to have a fateful showdown at Xinkou.
The sun sets in the west.
On the wide beach of Muma River, an old farmer and his grandson were fishing for loaches.
Suddenly, the old farmer seemed to feel something. He stood up suddenly from the river beach and looked towards the south. On the distant horizon, there seemed to be a shallow black line moving, but it was difficult to distinguish it from the dusk. In addition, the old farmer's eyesight was not good.
It has obviously declined, so it is impossible to tell what it is?
However, less than a moment later, the black line expanded a lot.
The old farmer's grandson suddenly felt the ground shaking under his feet. He turned around and hugged the old farmer's thigh, and said in panic: "Grandpa, grandpa, there is something under the ground, and it is about to come out."
The old farmer ignored his grandson because he had already seen it clearly.
On the distant horizon, the faint black line became thicker and thicker, and moved faster and faster. Finally, thousands of cavalry rushed out from the horizon, their horses' manes flying high back.
As they stood up, the knights on horseback all stood with their legs upright, looking extremely strong, but they were wearing grass-green military uniforms.
"Grandpa, it's ***!" the grandson shouted, "not a little devil."
"Yes." The old farmer nodded heavily, "It's ***, it's our army."
"Grandpa, look, there's something over there!" the grandson suddenly pointed to the southwest and shouted.
The old farmer turned around after hearing the sound, and sure enough he saw a large group of cavalry coming from the southwest. This group of cavalry was not wearing grass green military uniforms, but khaki military uniforms, and the *** cavalry's hats were hats. This group of cavalry were wearing hats.
The cavalrymen still had a few pieces of rags hanging behind their hats, and they were flying in the air. They looked really ferocious, and they were clearly the Japanese cavalrymen!
"Ha!" Liu Fengsheng grabbed the horse's belly with both legs and urged the horse to turn.
Behind Liu Fengsheng, more than 700 cavalrymen followed him like a shadow. They followed a big turn, almost diagonally across the Muma River, and then went straight towards the Japanese cavalry sweeping in from the southwest. At the same time,
The cavalry formations also quickly stretched out towards the two wings, forming a cavalry charge formation.
The Japanese cavalry on the opposite side also set up a charging formation.
Since the advent of the machine gun, the cavalry has been demoted from the king of land warfare to an auxiliary arm. Large-scale cavalry duels rarely appear on the battlefield. However, this time, a large-scale cavalry duel is inevitable. The cavalry is directly under the Baoshan Division.
The regiment faced the 28th Cavalry Regiment directly under the 20th Division of the Japanese Army. This was destined to be an encounter that went down in history!
"Keng..." Amidst the sound of gold and iron clashing in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Fengsheng slowly drew out his sword and raised it high above his head.
The more than 700 cavalrymen of the cavalry regiment suddenly slowed down their horses. When the cavalrymen reined in their horses and stopped, they had already arranged a neat cavalry charge formation based on Liu Fengsheng, with three cavalry battalions arranged in three rows, front and back!
The terrain near the Muma River is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry maneuvers and even more suitable for cavalry battles between the two armies.
The quality of the Japanese cavalry is definitely not inferior to that of the Chinese cavalry, and they also formed a neat cavalry queue in a short time. The 28th Japanese Cavalry Regiment was weak in terms of strength, with less than 500 cavalry, but it also arranged tit-for-tat
There were more than two hundred horses in full width, but there were only two rows in front and behind.
The Chinese and Japanese cavalry reined in their horses almost at the same time, and then got into formation at the same time.
Then, the entire battlefield fell into silence. The Chinese and Japanese cavalry all sat quietly on horseback, watching the enemy cavalry on the opposite side quietly. They were in a tacit and tacit way.
Paying tribute to the opponent has nothing to do with this war or the country. This is the purest greeting between soldiers and warriors.
Obviously, the outstanding performance of the Chinese cavalry has won the respect of the little ***.
The little *** nation is full of wolf nature, but they respect the strong from the bottom of their hearts. If they meet a strong person who can beat them down, they will become docile than dogs!
Liu Fengsheng slowly turned the horse's head and gently urged the horse to walk slowly in front of the queue.
In an instant, the eyes of the entire regiment were all focused on Liu Fengsheng.
"Brothers, have you ever heard of the Han cavalry, or heard of 'Anyone who offends our strong Han will be killed no matter how far away'?"
"Two thousand years ago, we Han cavalry were invincible in the world. They roamed the desert and beat the arrogant Huns to extinction. At that time, the ancestors of the little devils were still fishing naked on Dongyang Island.
, let alone building cavalry, we haven’t even learned to ride a horse yet!”
"The little devil learned his riding skills from the Tang Dynasty!"
"When it comes to cavalry warfare, we Chinese are the ancestors of little ***. Compared with us, they are inferior!"
More than 700 officers and soldiers of the cavalry regiment burst into laughter, and the tense, depressed and solemn atmosphere was suddenly swept away.
"These grandsons dared to bully their master and destroy their ancestors after learning three moves and two moves. How dare they rebel against him and not teach him a lesson?" Liu Fengsheng said as he slowly turned the horse's head, then gently urged the horse under his crotch and then took it from his hand.
The saber was drawn forward with force, and at the same time he shouted loudly, "Chinese cavalry...attack!"
"kill!"
"What a fucking idiot!"
"Little devil, my ancestor."
Liu Fengsheng's words were like sparks thrown into a pile of firewood. More than 700 officers and soldiers burst into flames. One by one, they drew their sabers and raised them high above their heads. Then they howled hysterically and urged their horses to charge towards the Japanese army on the opposite side.
The Japanese cavalry also put down their lances, drew their sabers, and then urged their horses to come forward.
These little devils were all possessed by the Bushido spirit and were absolutely unwilling to lose to the Chinese in terms of momentum.
The two armies faced each other and collided head-on in the blink of an eye. The sound of killings was heard by the Muma River. The screams of war horses, the shouts and curses of soldiers, the clash of weapons, and the dull sound of iron hoofs trampling the earth were heard all at once.
Intertwined together, hundreds of soldiers died on the battlefield in an instant, turning into meaningless corpses.
"Kill! Kill!" Liu Fengsheng held his saber high and slashed hard, then raised it diagonally.
After Kankan completed two stabbing movements, Liu Fengsheng had already rushed out of the Japanese cavalry formation. Because he was so fast, he didn't even know whether the two stabbings hit the target. However, the blood drops that slipped from the blade were clear.
It is extremely clear that there was definitely a Japanese cavalryman who fell under Liu Fengsheng’s sword just now.
After riding his horse and rushing more than a hundred meters away, Liu Fengsheng was able to rein in his horse and turn back.
There were still more than 600 cavalrymen left in the cavalry regiment, and they once again formed three columns behind Liu Fengsheng.
On the opposite side, there were only less than 300 Japanese cavalry left, barely forming a row.
The wilderness between the two armies was strewn with corpses of soldiers from both armies, and some seriously injured soldiers were struggling in a pool of blood, wailing and crying, which particularly reflected the coldness and cruelty of the war. However, the officers and soldiers of the two armies were
Without even blinking, the years of war had already polished their hearts harder than stone.
In this first battle, the Japanese army undoubtedly suffered a heavy loss. The number of casualties suffered by the Japanese cavalry was almost twice that of the Chinese cavalry.
In the situation where the quality of the cavalry between the two armies is almost the same, the numerical advantage is decisive. In terms of individual combat effectiveness, the Chinese cavalry is slightly inferior to the Japanese cavalry on the opposite side. However, the Chinese cavalry has more than 700 cavalry, which is more numerous than the Japanese cavalry.
It's a full half, which is a huge and irreparable advantage in a head-on duel with cavalry.
If the Japanese cavalry commander was smart enough, he should choose to fight with the Chinese cavalry.
But it is a pity that the captain of the 28th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki Masaashi, is a fanatical militarist. This little devil despises the Chinese from the bottom of his heart. He has been arrogant and arrogant since he came to the Chinese battlefield. Therefore, even if the Japanese cavalry is
Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, they still chose a head-on confrontation.
Liu Fengsheng slowly turned the horse's head, his eyes already showing a strange red color due to blood congestion.
In the suffocating silence, Liu Fengsheng slowly turned his saber horizontally, then stuck out his tongue and sucked the blood drops slowly sliding down the blade. The strong smell of blood immediately evoked the most primitive killing in Liu Fengsheng's heart.
Desire, the next moment, Liu Fengsheng raised his saber again without hesitation, and a violent roar instantly resounded through the sky: "Chinese cavalry...attack!"
The more than 600 soldiers who were fighting for their lives suddenly howled ferociously, and immediately activated their swords and followed Liu Fengsheng towards the Japanese cavalry on the opposite side.
Opposite, in front of the Japanese column.
Okazaki was breathing heavily, his face distorted by extreme anger.
Reason told Okazaki Masaru that the Japanese cavalry was completely at a disadvantage. The most correct choice at this time should be to temporarily avoid the edge and fight with the enemy. However, as a "proud" Japanese imperial samurai, Okazaki Masaru
But it is difficult to psychologically accept the reality that "the imperial cavalry is defeated by the Chinese cavalry", even though the imperial cavalry is at a numerical disadvantage.
Gritting his teeth, Okazaki raised his Japanese sword again and immediately urged his horse to meet him.
Seeing Okazaki charging towards the Chinese cavalry with their swords raised, the last two hundred or so surviving Japanese cavalry howled like wild beasts. Immediately, they also raised their Japanese swords and urged their horses to charge forward. These Japanese soldiers fanatically believed in the spirit of Bushido.
, they never take their lives seriously, and dying in battle is nothing to them.
