Devil's Army

This time, two battalions of the Second Regiment were attacked by Japanese cavalry, which showed that the Japanese cavalry group had already set their sights on them.

On the one hand, the Second Regiment Commander urged the logistics department to speed up the transportation of fuel and ammunition for the tank company, and on the other hand, he tried to find a way to defeat the large Japanese cavalry force.

Although the Japanese Baotou Cavalry Group claimed to have more than 1 troops, they had fought many battles with the Nanjing government's Mongolian cavalry, the Eighth Route Army cavalry, and the First Anti-Japanese Army, and their actual strength was only about to . However, this was still a force that should not be underestimated.

On this day, Captain Yao went to the headquarters of the 1st regiment and reminisced with the commander of the regiment.

Of course, the conversation cannot be separated from the last piece of land that has not been recovered in Ulanqab City: Siwangzi Banner.

Of course, we also know that the First and Second Battalions of the Second Regiment were nearly ambushed by a Japanese cavalry group.

He said to the captain:

"The Japanese 25th Army Cavalry Group was extremely brutal. We fought with them many times, with both sides winning and losing. Last year in particular, our Daqingshan Detachment encountered a large-scale encirclement and suppression by them, and suffered heavy losses. We have always wanted to seek revenge on them."

"That's easy. I'll go with you to the Second Regiment Headquarters and introduce you to the Second Regiment Commander to see if there's any chance. Although we have defeated two Japanese cavalry battalions and seized a batch of war horses during this period, we are still a long way from forming our own cavalry unit."

"Yes, we need to recruit soldiers after getting war horses, and then train them to form combat effectiveness. This is a long process."

"Why don't we go together now? The Second Captain is from the same family as you, and his last name is Yao too."

After the first regiment commander finished speaking, he called Captain Yao to go to the second regiment headquarters together.

When we arrived at the Second Regiment Headquarters, the Second Commander had not yet gone out. He was still waiting at the headquarters for the logistics department to deliver the strategic supplies.

After the Second Regiment Commander and Captain Yao got to know each other, Captain Yao asked the Second Regiment Commander about the Japanese cavalry group's ambush on their first and second battalions.

The Second Regiment Commander briefed Captain Yao in detail on how the Japanese cavalry group attacked their First Battalion in Kulun Sumu, and then planned to ambush their Second Battalion in Huanghua Village.

Captain Yao took a sip of water and answered affirmatively:

"This is a cavalry unit that the Japanese army often invades the south. The officer is a major named Konoehara Jiro. I heard that his family is a famous and prominent family in Japan. He is ruthless, but also thoughtful, and is indeed difficult to deal with."

"Have you fought with him?"

"We fought several times. Last year, our Daqingshan detachment had a large-scale battle with them near Dalazi Mountain in Shangdu County. We suffered heavy casualties. He was the commander. After that fierce battle, we withdrew from Ulanqab City and returned to Zuoyun and Youyu areas in Shanxi."

"So it's your old enemy."

"Enemies often meet, and I came here to challenge the Second Regiment Commander to see if there is a chance for revenge."

"Our tanks are running low on fuel and ammunition, and we are now waiting for the logistics troops to replenish them. Then our two armies will work together to wipe out this so-called noble cavalry of the Japanese army."

"Captain Yao, you can bring the Golden Eagle UAV Squadron with you. They may be of great help when the time comes."

The commander of the first regiment did not expect that his casual remark would actually help the second regiment a lot.

After a short chat, Captain Yao and the First Regiment Commander said goodbye to the Second Regiment Commander and returned to Liangping County to make preparations.
