In the next second, the soldiers of the Jinsui army ambushing on the loess ridges on both sides of the canyon opened fire one after another, pouring a dense rain of bullets on the devil cavalry in the canyon.

More than 130 devils were caught off guard, and fell down row by row in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, more than 130 devil cavalrymen died and only a few dozen remained, but the last few dozen devil cavalrymen finally rushed out of the canyon and fled back to the slaughterhouse.

Seeing this, Zhang Fugui was surprised and said: "Battalion Commander, what happened to the Japanese army?"

"Yes, is the Japanese army getting weaker, or our Jinsui army getting stronger?" Qian Bojun was also a little confused. When they fought against the Japanese army in Xinkou and Taiyuan before, the performance of the Japanese army was not as bad as it is today.

Even if it was ambushed, the Japanese army would not collapse so quickly, would it?

Didn't it mean that the cavalry of the Japanese army were all elite?An elite who is about to collapse at the touch of a finger?

……

Two kilometers away from the butcher's mouth.

Hashimoto Toyoshi rode his horse and came to Kojima Kizang, and said flatteringly: "Brigade Commander, you are really clever, there is indeed a Chinese ambush in the canyon ahead."

Kojima Kichizang said triumphantly: "Sun Tzu said, soldiers are tricky. In a place as dangerous as the canyon ahead, it is not surprising that there will be Chinese ambush soldiers, but it is strange if there are no."

Hearing this, the mausoleum orange tree showed a constipated expression.

This kind of terrain can also be associated with the word "dangerous", and it is also subdued.

And this way south, how many times have you "see through" the ambushes?

If it weren't for the fact that the number of ambushes you "see through" is a bit too much, it is estimated that Taiyuan has passed.

It is said that ugly people often do mischief, idiots like to show off, the ancients were really honest and not deceived, and the head of the brigade is a real idiot.

The orange tree in the mausoleum put down the binoculars and said: "Judging from the firepower density exposed on both sides of the canyon, the Chinese ambushes are at most 500 people, and there are more than a dozen light machine guns."

Hashimoto Toyoshi said with a smile: "Such a small force is not enough to put a gap between our teeth."

"Hashimoto-kun, don't be careless." Mausoleum Tachibana shook his hand and said, "This is just the exposed Chinese army and its firepower, and there may be hidden Chinese army and firepower."

"Mr. Lingbu, I'm afraid you are too cautious."

Hashimoto Tongyi said with a smile: "Even if the entire Chinese army in Northwest Shanxi has come here, how many troops can it have? Can it withstand a full-scale attack from our 4th Cavalry Brigade?"

During the debate between the two, the forward squadron had already fled back.

It's just that a full squadron of more than 130 people only came back with more than 50 riders.

Hashimoto Toyoshi said contemptuously: "These Koryo sticks are really useless."

"These guys are really trash." Mausoleum Tachibana's point of view this time is exactly the same as that of Hashimoto Toyoshi, "Facing the Chinese army, they can be defeated at the touch of a finger."

"I really lost the face of the Imperial Japanese Army, and even more so the cavalry."

Hashimoto Toyoshi said: "Brigade Commander, I suggest not to let these wastes wear the uniform of the Imperial Army in the future. Their performance is really not worthy of this uniform."

"Because this group of Koryo waste can serve as cannon fodder and pave the way for the imperial army, let's reluctantly allow them to wear the imperial army's uniform." Kojima Kichizo waved his hand, and said: "Hashimoto-san. "

Hashimoto Tongyi immediately rode forward and asked with a pause, "What is the brigade commander's order?"

Kichizo Kojima raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The watch said: "The time is now [-]:[-] in the afternoon. I will give you half an hour. The passage must be opened before two o'clock. Arrive in Taiyuan before dark, otherwise we will only be able to camp in the snow tonight."

"Hai!" Hashimoto Toyoshi nodded heavily.

……

Butcher's mouth.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui have come to the front of the ridge.

There are two lines of defense in front of the butcher's mouth, one is set on the ridge line of the ridge, and the other is set on the two earth mounds outside the mouth.

Qian Bojun placed a reinforcement platoon in each of the two soil bags outside the mouth, and two Min 24 heavy machine guns.

Qian Bojun's idea is still very good. The two soil bags outside the mouth can obtain the firepower protection of the main ridge position, and can also protect the main ridge position behind him.

Since ancient times, the formation of the corner has been the core essence of defensive operations.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui didn't take it seriously when they saw that the Japanese army had thrown about two squadrons of cavalry and attacked the two dirt bags outside the butcher's mouth.

The first wave of firefight just now gave them a lot of confidence.

If the Japanese army had only such a little combat power, then one battalion of them could block the entire cavalry brigade!

Qian Bojun even further imagined that when their 1st Battalion was inextricably fighting with the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, if Chu Yunfei led the main force of the 358th Regiment to outflank the two wings, they might be able to wipe out the 4th Cavalry Brigade. Brigade.

Thinking of this, Qian Bojun's heart suddenly became hot. If this is the case, then their 358 regiment will become famous.

Of course Chu Yunfei will soar into the sky because of this, even Qian Bojun will most likely follow the chicken and dog to the sky to get a regiment leader Dangdang.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese cavalry approached within 100 meters, and the Jinsui army guarding the two soil bags opened fire at the same time, and the two Min 24 heavy tribute guns erected on the commanding heights also opened fire violently.

The dense rain of bullets poured on the devil cavalry again.

However, this time, what Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui expected did not happen.

After being attacked by the Jinsui army's rain of bullets, the devils who went into the attack this time did not collapse at the first touch, but raised their guns to fight back while running.

Opportunities are equal for both parties.

The soldiers of the Jinsui Army could not lock on to the high-speed moving target, but it was also difficult for the devils to aim on the horseback running at high speed, so at this time, they could only rely on the training of the soldiers on both sides and their sense of guns.

In this regard, the Japanese cavalry showed a huge advantage in crushing.

Although the Jinsui army built fortifications in advance, the area exposed to the enemy's guns was much smaller than the Japanese army, but during the firefight, the Jinsui army suffered far more casualties than the Japanese army.

It can be said that the Jinsui Army was completely suppressed by the Japanese army.

Even the two Min-24 heavy machine guns didn't last long.

Because the machine gunners of the Jinsui Army made one of the deadliest mistakes.

They stupidly built their firepower at the highest point of the defensive position.

For the grenadiers of the Japanese army, it was as simple as shooting a target.

I saw four devil cavalry quickly get off their horses, hide behind the cavalry in front and set up the grenade launchers. They easily destroyed the two Min 24 heavy machine guns of the Jinsui Army with only four grenades.

Although the Jinsui army guarding the two soil bags is superior in number, their marksmanship is not as good as that of the Japanese army. Now even the two heavy machine guns that were the last resort have been destroyed, and the psychological defense line collapsed instantly.

I don't know who took the lead first, dozens of people turned around and ran away.

This running will be even more difficult. How can a man's two legs run faster than a horse's four legs?

The ghost cavalry quickly caught up, first put the horse rifle back on their shoulders, and then drew out their sabers and slashed. The heads of the soldiers of the Jinsui army who were rushing for the road were chopped off row by row on the ground.

Seeing this tragic scene, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui cursed in anger.

Chu Yunfei saw it from the observation post in the distance, and his face turned green with anger.

Disgraceful, shameful, Chu Yunfei has already decided to arrest and shoot those two platoon leaders, what kind of soldiers did you bring?There is no bloodiness of Chinese soldiers at all!

At this moment, an attack plane roared over the butcher's mouth.

Chu Yunfei's face was even more ugly. The blocking battle at Shazhukou seemed to be more difficult than he expected. Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion might not be able to last for two hours.

……

In Taiyuan, the 1st Army Command.

Yoshio Iwamatsu just walked into the combat hall on the first floor.

Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section, stepped forward and reported: "Your Excellency, the aviation scouts sent back a telegram that the 4th Cavalry Brigade was blocked by the Jinsui Army at Shazhukou."

"Killing pig mouth?" Yoshio Iwamatsu turned his gaze to the map.

Operations section chief Ryuichi Sakamoto quickly found the butcher's mouth on the map.

"Whispering." Yoshio Yanmatsu nodded happily, and said, "The Killing Pig is only 9 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and the [-]th Brigade can reach the battlefield in four hours!"

Hua Guzheng said: "But it's not the time to attack yet."

"I know." Yoshio Yanmatsu waved his hand, and said, "If the 9th Brigade and the 2nd Guards Division attack at the same time, the best result can only be to destroy Chu Yunfei's Jin The 358th Regiment of the Sui Army, as for the Chinese Central Army and the Eighth Route Army, I am afraid they will not join the battle, and we have missed the opportunity to wipe them all out."

After saying this, he said to Inoue: "Order the aviation scouts to continue scouting."

"Once you discover that the China Central Army or the Eighth Route Army has entered the battle, report it immediately."

"If you find signs of defeat and escape from the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army, you must report it in time."

"Hai!" Inoue Yasushi paused heavily, turned around and hurried back to the communication class.

……

At the butcher's mouth.

Qian Bojun was a little caught off guard by the rapid fall of the two small soil bags outside the mouth.

However, Qian Bojun was also a veteran from the army after all, so he quickly brought his guard platoon to the front of the ridge.

Under Qian Bojun's personal supervision, and with the addition of the guard platoon, the frontal force was stronger, and finally blocked the first wave of Japanese cavalry's onslaught.

If a wave of Japanese attack breaks through the two lines of defense,

It is estimated that Chu Yunfei will be so angry that he will directly order Qian Bojun, the battalion commander, to be shot.

Fortunately, this situation did not happen, and the Japanese cavalry was pushed back in the end.

Seeing the Japanese cavalry retreating in an orderly manner after leaving more than 20 corpses behind, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui could not help but heave a long sigh of relief, feeling grateful that they had narrowly escaped death.

At the same time, there is a kind of relief that really is so.

This is the fierce Japanese army in their memory.

Qian Bojun sighed: "We haven't had a serious battle with the Japanese army for almost two years. We have almost forgotten how to fight the Japanese army. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, his mother's defensive position would have been lost."

"The main reason is that the terrain here is not good." Zhang Fugui scolded, "What kind of terrain is chosen for this? Devil cavalry can rush directly to our defensive position along the ramp. How the hell can we defend it? They shouldn't be there. Fighting devil cavalry in this kind of ghost place, I really don't know what the Tuanzuo thinks? He actually listened to the Eighth Route Army's nonsense."

"Okay, just say a few words less." Qian Bojun said in a bad mood.

"The terrain in Shazhukou is not conducive to defense, but it is already the best terrain."

"If this is changed to other places, then this battle will be even more impossible to fight."

"So, this battle shouldn't be fought." Zhang Fugui said with a dark face, "Let us block a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army with the strength of a regiment. I don't know which idiot came up with such a stupid idea?"

Qian Bojun said in disbelief, "Who else can be, it must be the Chairman of the Standing Committee."

"This Chang Kaishen." Zhang Fugui said, "What a fucking idiot."

Qian Bojun said with a smile: "If he is not stupid, he will lose all his money in Shanghai?"

"Isn't it?" Zhang Fugui said, "Just to call foreigners, he would not hesitate to lose his own money. I really don't know how such a fool climbed to the position of chairman."

Because Chu Yunfei graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he was loyal to Chang Kaishen.

But veterans of the Jinsui Army like Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui didn't have the slightest liking for Chang Kaishen. They only remembered the humiliation during the Central Plains War.

So satirizing Chang Kaishen spared no effort.

The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army beside the two of them were also very happy when they heard this.

But by satirizing Chang Kaishen, he couldn't beat the devil cavalry outside the slaughterhouse.

Qian Bojun had already realized that the next attack of the devil cavalry would be even more ferocious, so he decisively ordered that the machine gun company be transferred to the frontal position to strengthen the defense.

1营的机炮连有4挺民24式重机枪加4门82迫击炮。

However, in the first wave of the Japanese attack just now, two Min-2 heavy machine guns were lost, so now there are only two Min-24 heavy machine guns left in the machine gun company.

But fortunately there are still four 4mm mortars.

Swinging the 2 heavy machine guns to the ridge line of the ridge, and then putting the 4 82mm mortars behind the ridge line, Qian Bojun instantly felt much more at ease.

After all, the Japanese 4th Cavalry Brigade outside the mouth did not carry cavalry artillery.

Therefore, in terms of supporting firepower, their 1st Battalion can firmly suppress the Japanese army.

However, Qian Bojun soon discovered that his idea was a little too naive.

Because the Japanese cavalry directly gave up attacking from the front of the ridge after the tentative attack failed, but directly sent two cavalry squadrons to outflank from the left and right wings.

Because the ridges on both sides of the butcher's mouth extend tens of kilometers long.

Although most of the ridges are higher and steeper, you can always find a gentle place all the way out.

Looking at the hundreds of Japanese cavalry galloping towards the two wings from the slope of the ridge, Qian Bojun looked helpless.

For five full years, Little Japan has been doing this over and over again. Once the frontal attack is blocked, it immediately turns around the two wings. Now that the fucking frontal attack is blocked, it starts to outflank the two wings again.

But fortunately, their 1st Battalion was not completely unprepared, and fortifications were also built on the earth platform.
