War of Resistance: Wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion at the start.

While the Japanese and puppet troops from Laishui County were being encircled and annihilated, other Japanese and puppet troops from Xincheng County and Dingxing County were also ambushed by the troops of the Independent 1st Division.

A large number of tanks, armored vehicles, and assault guns emerged, catching the Japanese and puppet troops off guard, and they were quickly surrounded by the troops.

At the same time, the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhuo County were still unaware of all this.

They were a little further away, and were still quickly providing support to Yi County.

"Brigade Commander, we've discovered the vanguard of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhuo County!"

On the banks of the North Juma River, the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Independent Division Cavalry Brigade were already on full alert. Seven or eight kilometers behind them, the two main regiments of the 3rd Brigade were rushing to their support.

"hehe!"

Bao Zhiguo, the commander of the cavalry brigade, sneered and said, "Send an order to the 1st and 2nd Regiments. If the Japanese and puppet troops enter our encirclement, the 1st Regiment and the 1st Battalion will be responsible for blocking the enemy's retreat."

"At the same time, order the mortars of the two regiments, as well as the 107th rocket artillery battalion that came with us, to be ready. Once the battle begins, immediately bring down a barrage of fire on the enemy to buy time for the cavalry's charge."

"Our mission this time is only one, and that is to buy time for the Third Brigade."

Following the order from the cavalry brigade commander Bao Zhiguo, the two regiments of the cavalry brigade began to get busy.

"Hurry up!"

"Listening to the sound of gunfire, they must be engaging in combat!"

"Baga, you're dead!"

"..."

Amidst the scolding, abuse, and urging, the Japanese and puppet troops were as tired as dogs and continued to trot towards Yi County.

"Lu Sang, do you think we have a good chance of winning this time?"

In the ranks of the Japanese and puppet troops, the Japanese brigade commander, a major general, who was riding a Japanese horse, asked the puppet army brigade commander who was also riding a horse next to him.

Brigade Commander Lu was the commander of the puppet army in these five counties. His brigade headquarters was in Zhuo County. The reason why it was not set up in Yi County was very simple: he was afraid of death!

Yi County is the frontline position facing the Independent 1st Division. If the brigade headquarters was set up here, he would not be able to talk easily with the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander here today. I'm afraid he would be trembling with fear now.

Of course, in addition to the fear of death, this place is close enough to Peking, and he is an ambitious man, and he wants to climb up.

Before he became the commander of this puppet army brigade, he was just the head of a security regiment, a low-ranking one, and was only a lieutenant colonel in the Nationalist government.

The arrival of the Japanese gave him an opportunity. As soon as the Japanese attacked, he took his troops and chose to surrender.

He is a man of limited experience but he understands one thing: the closer you are to the center of power, the more opportunities you will have.

Look, less than a year after joining the Japanese, he has been promoted to brigade commander.

Of course, Brigade Commander Lu also knew all this, and it was Chu Feng's fault.

"Most definitely!"

When Brigadier General Lu heard the question, he paused for a moment and said, "Indeed, Chu Feng's Independent 1st Division is very powerful, but in the final analysis, it is still a Chinese unit."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, based on my understanding of the Chinese army, the reason why Chu Feng was able to win in battle after battle is because we don't understand them."

"If we can't get accurate information, we will naturally suffer a loss, which means we can't fight Chu Feng fairly and impartially."

As he spoke, Brigadier General Lu carefully glanced at the Japanese brigade commander's expression and continued, "The 1st Independent Division arrived very suddenly this time, but they took the initiative to attack."

"We know them well enough, but they don't know us well enough to know that General Terauchi Juichi has already made a perfect plan."

"As long as we provide timely support this time and hold Chu Feng's troops hostage until reinforcements arrive, we can definitely give Chu Feng a major setback."

At this point, Brigade Commander Lu revealed a ruthless look and said, "Chu Feng is now the god of war in the eyes of the Chinese people. If he fails once, it will be a huge blow to the confidence of the Chinese people in the war of resistance."

Listening to Brigade Commander Lu's analysis, the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander nodded without comment.

As a professional soldier, the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander had his own judgment. The reason he asked Brigade Commander Lu was just to chat when he was free.

Compared with Brigade Commander Lu's confident answer, the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander felt a little heavy in his heart.

If Chu Feng really failed so easily, would the Empire suffer losses from him one after another, losing more than 100,000 Imperial warriors? Would it suffer defeat after defeat?

"This battle is not easy to fight!"

Looking at the troops marching quickly, the Japanese brigade commander's expression became increasingly heavy.

After more than ten minutes, suddenly, three red flares rose into the air, immediately attracting the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.

They couldn't help but stop while they were on their way, looking at the three flares in a daze.

next moment!

There was no roar of light or heavy machine guns, no explosion of artillery shells, but there was a rumbling sound.

"What? What's that sound?" The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, was a little confused. He rode on his horse, looking around.

The next moment, his pupils shrank.

"cavalry!!!"

"Baga! Chinese cavalry!!!"

"So many cavalry, damn it!!!"

"Hurry up, get ready for battle!"

In the sight of the Japanese brigade commander, Major General, a large group of figures suddenly appeared in the distance in front, behind, left and right of him. These people were riding war horses and were rushing towards them to kill them.

The rumbling sound like thunder is the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.

The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, saw it, and so did the other Japanese and puppet troops.

Without waiting for the Japanese major general to give orders, the Japanese and puppet troops began to respond quickly. The puppet troops reacted a little slowly, but the Japanese were different.

After the initial panic, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately began to disperse. Although the road was flat and there were no cover to use, light and heavy machine guns were the best weapons and equipment to deal with cavalry.

As the Japanese and puppet troops looked at the black mass of cavalry troops that were approaching and speeding up, they all swallowed their saliva and their hands began to sweat.

no way!

With the emergence of various new weapons, especially light and heavy machine guns, cavalry has lost its former glory.

Losing glory does not mean there is no threat. Cavalry is undoubtedly the most powerful force in the era of cold weapons, especially the collective charge of large-scale cavalry units.

Anyone who remains calm when facing a collective cavalry charge will feel the pressure brought by the impact and speed.

Seeing a large number of cavalry approaching, and entering the range of heavy machine guns at 600 meters, 500 meters, some Japanese officers were ready to wave their swords and shout, "Kill!"

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of dense whistling sounds in the sky. The next moment, a large number of artillery shells fell densely on the ranks of the Japanese and puppet troops, and violent explosions sounded.
