Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

The rockets arrived quickly, but after exploding in just over ten seconds, the battlefield suddenly fell into silence.

Under this short period of large-scale artillery coverage, the dead Japanese and puppet soldiers naturally had no right to say anything. The surviving Japanese and puppet soldiers had dazed looks on their faces and obviously did not react.

The most important thing is that among these Japanese and puppet troops, there are many overseas Chinese who were temporarily recruited to join the army. They have received military training, but they are ordinary people after all.

They had never experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, but now that they had just entered the battlefield, they suddenly felt the top treatment.

New soldiers are afraid of cannons! Veterans are afraid of guns!

This thing is applicable to the army of any country, even the Japanese who are known for their prevalence of Bushido are no exception.

Many of the Japanese soldiers who were there to temporarily join the team were scared to death after surviving by chance.

That’s right, I was scared to death!

My mentality was also shattered by this intensive artillery fire!!!

however!

At this time, the four cavalry battalions that had launched the attack after the battle started also surrounded them from all directions.

Once the cavalry speeds up, the sense of oppression they bring to people is definitely stronger than that of large numbers of infantry.

"Nani?!!!"

The Japanese colonel who survived the sudden rocket fire was shocked, and at the same time, he heard a silent sound of knocking on the ground.

He was stunned at first, then looked around.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

"cavalry!!!"

"Baga! Cavalry!!"

“Chinese Cavalry!!!”

He always thought that the one who blocked his way was a regiment of Chu Feng's army, but he didn't expect that it was a cavalry unit!

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Concentrate the troops, set up the light and heavy machine guns, and don't let the cavalry get close!"

The Japanese colonel knew very well that once the cavalry broke through and rushed over, his troops, despite their large numbers, would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry.

At that time, the enemy cavalry slaughtered them unilaterally and they had no power to fight back.

but!

The Japanese colonel was disappointed!

Although many Japanese soldiers began to prepare quickly when they saw the cavalry rushing towards them.

But these are only a few, or to be more precise, a few scattered ones.

Just a barrage of artillery fire had wiped out one-third of their troops. The remaining puppet troops and ordinary Japanese soldiers who were temporarily recruited as soldiers were so scared that their diapers were wet. How could they care about the cavalry?

Now I am still in shock and haven't recovered yet.

Because of the cover of darkness, the four cavalry battalions were not far away, only about one thousand meters away from the battlefield. As soon as the battle started, they mounted their horses and began to attack.

By the time the rockets hit, their speed had already increased.

A distance of one thousand meters can be reached in one and a half minutes.

At this time, one minute had passed, the cavalry's speed had increased significantly, and they were only a few hundred meters away from the Japanese and puppet army battlefield.

For a cavalryman with high speed, this distance can be reached in a short time.

"kill!!!"

The commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, holding a submachine gun in his hand, quickly pulled the trigger after entering the firing range.

"Tu tu tu tu!!"

"Da da da!!"

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The other cavalrymen did the same. They didn't care whether their shots were accurate or not. They just pulled the trigger and fired a volley of bullets in the direction of the Japanese and puppet troops.

After emptying his bullets, he threw the submachine gun back and drew his saber.

"2nd Battalion, follow me and kill!!!"

The 2nd Battalion Commander led the charge, kicked his horse's belly again, and increased the speed again. Under the horrified eyes of the Japanese and puppet troops, the cavalry rushed into the enemy's formation.

He raised his saber high and chopped it down fiercely. In an instant, a Japanese dog's head flew into the sky.

The force of a man swinging his saber, combined with the speed of the horse's charge, is far greater than the sum of the two.

Blood gushed out from the neck instantly. The powerful force made the blood spray two or three meters high, like a blood fountain.

No one cared about this. More and more cavalry poured in and carried out a unilateral massacre of the Japanese and puppet troops!

At this time, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, which was converted from cavalry to infantry, quickly mounted their horses and rushed towards the more than 200 remaining vanguard Japanese and puppet troops.

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

"kill!!!"

Shouts of killing! The neighing of war horses! The crackle of gunfire! The clanging of sabers and spears! The dull thud of sabers slicing through skin and flesh!

It became the main theme of the entire battlefield!

Bao Zhiguo, who was in charge of the command, was so excited watching this.

If the chief of staff had not held him back, he would have mounted his horse and rushed forward to chop off the Japanese soldiers' heads.

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, you are the commander of a brigade. Your mission is to command the troops, not to charge into battle."

After much persuasion from the chief of staff, the brigade commander was finally persuaded to calm down.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

Cavalry Brigade Commander Bao Zhiguo cried out in regret, saying, "Our cavalry unit will gradually be eliminated in the future and will become a second-rate garrison unit."

"There aren't many opportunities like this, and they're getting fewer and fewer each time!"

Upon hearing this, the Chief of Staff said, "Brigade Commander, we are all prepared for being eliminated. However, it won't happen for now. There will still be opportunities in the future."

"After this battle, the Japanese will retreat to areas such as southern Hebei, central Hebei, Dongshan Province, and Nanhe Province."

"Not to mention, Rehe Province and the three northeastern provinces also have large grasslands and plains, so our cavalry still has something to fight against."

Bao Zhiguo and the chief of staff were completely relaxed!

The moment the cavalry charged into the enemy ranks, it meant that the battle was completely over. It all depended on how long it would take to end the battle, so the two of them had the opportunity to chat.

Just as Bao Zhiguo and the chief of staff said, with the cavalry charging back and forth, the Japanese and puppet troops were either killed or surrendered.

After more than twenty minutes, the shouting and screaming completely subsided.

This ambush in Xiaodong Village took about half an hour from the start to the end of the battle and ended with the victory of the cavalry brigade.

"Hahaha!!!"

Listening to the cheers and watching the celebrating officers and soldiers, Bao Zhiguo smiled from ear to ear and immediately said, "Send a telegram to the Chief of Staff and tell them that the Cavalry Brigade is in the direction of Xiaodong Village and has completely wiped out the more than 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops sent by Luanzhou County."

"Not a single Japanese or puppet soldier escaped!"

At this point, the cavalry brigade commander, Bao Zhiguo, paused slightly and said, "The cavalry brigade will attack again and try to destroy and defeat several Japanese and puppet army reinforcements."

After saying that, he waved to the operations staff, signaling him to go send a telegram.

"chief of staff!"

As soon as the combat staff left, Bao Zhiguo looked at his partner and said, "Since we won the first battle, we should expand on our achievements."

As he spoke, Bao Zhiguo came to the battle map, pointed to Luannan County in the south, and said, "I plan to send two battalions from the 3rd Cavalry Regiment to capture this Japanese puppet army."

"Leave one battalion behind from the 1st Cavalry Regiment and follow us. We will take the rocket artillery regiment to Luanzhou County and shock the Japanese in the county with some rocket artillery."

"As for the other two battalions, they will head north and cooperate with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment to launch an attack on one of the Japanese and puppet troops and capture another one."

"If there is still a chance and the Japanese and puppet troops have not withdrawn, then we will continue to fight!"

When the Chief of Staff heard Bao Zhiguo's words, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

After the two reached an agreement, the order was quickly issued, requiring the 1st Battalion and the 107th Rocket Artillery Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, as well as the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, to clean up the battlefield.

The remaining troops went south and north to continue fighting.
