Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 96 Saving Sun Desheng

But the situation is urgent now. The sound of gunfire from the battle here will definitely attract the Japanese soldiers. Moreover, two consecutive night attacks have wiped out nearly 400 Japanese soldiers from two squadrons.

The Japanese would definitely take action, so Wang Gensheng felt that he had to hurry. Just after Wang Gensheng led the special cavalry company to launch another sneak attack of about 20 kilometers and wiped out a Japanese squadron, he found that these Japanese soldiers who had originally camped in separate squadrons actually began to gather together.

The original camping of a squadron was changed directly to a battalion camping.

The original squadron of about 200 people was directly transformed into a battalion of nearly 1,000 people. Naturally, Wang Gensheng could not carry out another night attack. The special cavalry company of more than 100 people, even if everyone was holding a light machine gun, could not kill the enemy that was ten times stronger than their own.

If you force your way through, you will end up being eaten up by the enemy.

However, even if Wang Gensheng wanted to continue, it was impossible. The soldiers of the special cavalry company were very tired after running around all night and fighting four consecutive battles.

So Wang Gensheng looked at the sky which was already getting slightly brighter and decided to let the soldiers of the cavalry company take a rest.

Four consecutive battles have exhausted Wang Gensheng's special cavalry company. Although Wang Gensheng, whose physical fitness is two and a half times that of a normal person, becomes more and more excited and relaxed as the battles go on, the soldiers under his command can no longer bear it.

So Wang Gensheng had no choice but to order everyone to rest. It happened that there were still about two or three hours before dawn, which was the perfect time for rest.

At this moment, Baili Xiu said:

"Deputy Commander, should we deal with the captured weapons? Our cavalry company already has over 600 rifles. On average, each soldier has to carry six rifles, as well as a light machine gun and ammunition. This weight will greatly affect the speed of the horses!"

Hearing this, Wang Gensheng also calculated in his mind. This time, four consecutive sneak attacks killed four squadrons of Japanese soldiers and directly seized 36 light machine guns and 36 grenade launchers. In this way, there was almost no need for the rifle to exist.

So in the end Wang Gensheng decided to bury all the rifles except for the captured light machine guns and grenade launchers. Of course, burying them did not mean throwing them away, but marking them and digging them up after the raid was over.

Wang Gensheng looked at the buried guns and said to Baili Xiu and other backbone members of the special cavalry company:

"Okay, all of you go and rest! No need to stand guard, I'll do it!"

"Let me be the deputy commander! My eyesight works better at night!"

When Li Xiu heard that Wang Gensheng was going to stand guard for them, he immediately asked him to do it, but Wang Gensheng waved his hand and said:
"That's not necessary. You've been exhausted since daybreak. Go get some rest! This is an order!"

When Li Xiu heard Wang Gensheng say that this was an order, he naturally did not say anything more and immediately spread out his quilt and went to rest. After a day and a night of sleepless nights, Li Xiu's eyes were indeed red.

During this rest, Wang Gensheng let the cavalry company rest from four in the morning to nine in the morning. After five hours of rest, Wang Gensheng woke up the special cavalry company.

Although the early morning hours of winter were extremely cold, the best way to withstand the cold was to carry blankets and sleep next to horses to use their body heat to keep warm. Indeed, the soldiers of the Special Cavalry Company all slept next to their horses when they rested.

Although five hours of rest is not enough for the soldiers of the special cavalry company to fully recover, they can still recover to a large extent.

Just when Wang Gensheng led the special cavalry company to attack Li Yunlong's independent regiment headquarters, he suddenly heard gunshots.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, Wang Gensheng immediately gave the order without hesitation:

"Let's go to where the gunfire is coming from and try to save anyone we can!"

Wang Gensheng did not say anything like risking his life to save the enemy. There was no other way. If it was really impossible, for example, the enemy and our forces were much stronger than each other, then Wang Gensheng would not only fail to save the enemy if he rushed forward, but would also lose his own special cavalry company.

Love your soldiers like your own sons and use them like mud. This saying is not just for fun. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Sometimes you have to be decisive when you need to. The consequence of indecisiveness is only defeat.

When Wang Gensheng led the special cavalry company to the place where the gunshots were heard, when Wang Gensheng saw the figures, he discovered that the source of the gunshots was a cavalry regiment of the Japanese devils chasing a cavalry company of about 100 people from the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Wang Gensheng's special cavalry company had not been discovered by the Japanese, because the Japanese were wholeheartedly targeting the Eighth Route Army's cavalry company!
At this time, the cavalry company was no longer planning to escape. Instead, they threw away their rifles and drew their sabers, ready to engage in the most primitive riding and slashing battle with the Japanese cavalry.

And the leader of the Eighth Route Cavalry that Wang Gensheng saw through the telescope was Sun Desheng, who had taught him riding training. Obviously, this was the most tragic scene in "Bright Sword", the scene where Sun Desheng and the entire cavalry company died.

Just as Sun Desheng threw away his rifle, drew out his cavalry sword and prepared to ride and slash with the Japanese cavalry, the Japanese cavalry regiment commander, Kuroshima Morita, also drew out his cavalry sword, ready to have a cold weapon contest between cavalry and Sun Desheng.

When the Japanese cavalry saw that their regiment commander had drawn his cavalry sword, they naturally quickly replaced their cavalry rifles with cavalry swords. At this time, Colonel Kuroshima Morita was not worried at all that this team of less than a hundred cavalrymen could cause any trouble.

After all, they have a cavalry regiment of more than a thousand people, so there is no need to worry about the difference in troop strength of more than ten times.

That's right, the Japanese cavalry and infantry are not the same branch of the military, so their organization is naturally different. Since the Japanese cavalry is much more expensive than the Japanese infantry in terms of training and horses, a Japanese cavalry regiment is not as strong as an infantry regiment with more than 3,800 people, but only 1,000 to 1,400 to 1,500 people, which is only half or even one-third of an infantry regiment.

Wang Gensheng looked at the cavalrymen who had already drawn their cavalry swords and were ready to charge and kill each other. He knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he immediately gave a decisive order:
"Soldiers holding submachine guns and light machine guns, listen up! Charge in a fan formation and wait for my command to fire!"

After Wang Gensheng gave the order, he controlled his horse while holding a light machine gun and charged towards the Japanese cavalry regiment.

Although the Japanese cavalry had about a thousand people, if Wang Gensheng had an ordinary cavalry company of about a hundred people, then charging forward like this would be like delivering meat to the Japanese cavalry.

But Wang Gensheng's cavalry company is not an ordinary cavalry company, especially after experiencing four battles last night and seizing 36 light machine guns. Together with the original 20 light machine guns, the entire cavalry company now has 56 light machine guns. Together with the original 38 submachine guns, it means there are 94 fully automatic weapons.
