Chapter 214 Cavalry Raiders
The mortar fires very fast, causing considerable casualties to the Japanese who charged. In this round of artillery, at least four or five hundred Japanese fell on the way to charge, but not long after, the Japanese were getting closer and closer to the position of the 612th Regiment, and it was not easy to launch mortars, for fear of hurting their own people by chance.**(..)
Seeing that the Japanese were less than 300 meters away from the position, the leader of the 612th Regiment personally issued an order to open fire. Zhu Ming pulled out his little ****, shot him in front, and then shouted: "Brothers, hit me hard."
Suddenly, gunfire sounds were heard on the 612th Regiment's position, and "bang, bang, bang" rifle shooting sounds one after another. All the light and heavy machine guns also opened fire, and a firepower net was intertwined within a few hundred meters in front of the position.
The Japanese charging Japanese were also holding the Type 38 rifle and aiming at the position of the 612th Regiment to shoot. The Japanese's shooting also caused certain casualties to the 612th Regiment, and many soldiers were hit by the Japanese rifle bullets.
Some Japanese grenade launchers looked at the two or three hundred meters ahead, many Chinese machine gun positions were shooting desperately. These Japanese immediately squatted down and began to fire grenades at the machine gun points of the 612th Regiment. Many Japanese grenade launchers were relatively accurate, and several machine guns of the 612th Regiment were shot to death.
At a Type 92 machine gun point of the 612th Regiment, a grenade fired by the Japanese exploded without warning next to the machine gun. A machine gunner and an ammunition soldier were immediately sacrificed. The machine gun was also tilted to one side and immediately fell into silence.
Not far away, a burly man who was shooting with a mid-stage rifle. Seeing this scene, when he saw several of his comrades dying, his eyes were red and he shouted sadly: "Little Japanese, ** your grandma!"
After shouting, he immediately threw down his rifle. He quickly straightened the Type 92 heavy machine gun that was tilted to the side, operated the machine gun, and fired several Japanese grenade troops two or three hundred other Japanese grenade troops who were firing grenades. After one bullet board was shot, these Japanese grenade troops were immediately reimbursed.
After hitting the bullet board, the big man shouted loudly to a soldier next to him: "Good darling. Why are you still standing there? Just as I was about to put the bullet board on me, the Japanese were about to rush up."
The young soldier next to him immediately picked up a veneer with bullets next to the machine gun and skillfully inserted the Type 92 heavy machine gun. The heavy machine gun immediately shouted happily again, knocking the dozen Japanese in front of it to the ground. *1*1*
The 612th Regiment relied on the light and heavy machine guns equipped by itself to cause considerable casualties to the Japanese who charged. Nearly one-third of the Japanese had suffered casualties, which means that at least thousands of Japanese were on the ground where the charge was charged. Within a few hundred meters in front of the 612th Regiment's position, many Japanese corpses were lying everywhere.
But the Japanese were less than 100 meters away from the position of the 612th Regiment. The soldiers of the 612th Regiment could already see the Japanese's majestic faces not far away. Many soldiers picked up their grenades and threw them on the Japanese's head.
After a burst of explosions, the Japanese devils fell down another three or four hundred people. But the remaining more than two thousand Japanese devils were about to rush to the front of the position. When the commander of the 612th Regiment saw that the situation was very critical, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, get the bayonet and fight with the Japanese devils."
The soldiers of the 612th Regiment drew out the bayonets with cold light and quickly installed them on their rifles. Some soldiers pulled out the big swords they carried from their backs and prepared to fight with the Japanese who rushed up.
When the Japanese saw that the Chinese soldiers were bayonets and prepared to fight with them, the Japanese immediately stopped shooting, pulled the bolts, exited the bullets in their rifles, screamed, and rushed to the position of the 612th Regiment.
Shigeichi Hatan, who was watching the battle with a telescope in the distance, saw that his troops had suffered more than a thousand casualties, finally rushed to the front of the position of the Zhong* team opposite, and the two sides prepared to fight hand-to-hand.
Seeing this scene, Hatan Shigeichi's face immediately turned from gloomy to clear. Hatan Shigeichi, who had a very ugly face just now, had a strong smile on his face at this time, and he happily said to the chief of staff next to him: "Yoxi, the Second Infantry Regiment is good, and he will immediately rush to the position of the Zhong** team and fight hand-to-hand combat is about to happen."
The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him was also in a happy mood and said happily: "Commander, the Zhong** team has engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with us. It was dead. Our more than 2,000 warriors will definitely tear the Zhong** team across the opposite side."
Hatan Shigeichi nodded in agreement. The two of them seemed to see the dawn of victory and could immediately break through the defense line of the Central ** team on the opposite side, and then headed west to meet with reinforcements from Wuhan.
At this time, Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, was in a very heavy mood. When the battle reached this point, he could only fight with the Japanese. Although most of his troops were veterans of a hundred battles, he was not sure that he could win this battle.
But as the commander of the regiment, in order to increase everyone's morale, Zhu Ming was preparing to participate in the hand-to-hand battle himself. Zhu Ming took a big knife and held it up and shouted tragically: "Brothers, it's time for us to die for the country, we are fighting with the Japanese."
"Fight with the Japanese." The soldiers were also moved when they saw their regiment commander holding a big knife and preparing to participate in the tragic hand-to-hand battle themselves. They shouted with enthusiasm, holding bayonets and rifles, or waving the Japanese, and rushing towards the Japanese.
Immediately, the soldiers of the 612th Regiment were intertwined with the Japanese, and the two sides launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, also cut down two Japanese in a row. Just as Zhu Ming was about to cut down the third Japanese that was not far away, he suddenly found a rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from behind him.
It must be the brothers of the Cavalry Regiment that arrived. When the 612th Regiment had just built a blocking position, they received a telegram from the Yichang Command, which stated that the Cavalry Regiment and the 613th Regiment would be sent to reinforce their 612th Regiment.
Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, who looked overjoyed, immediately shouted happily: "Brothers, our cavalry regiment has arrived, our reinforcements have arrived."
The soldiers of the 612th Regiment, who had the determination to die, fought with the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat. When they heard that the brothers of the Cavalry Regiment arrived, they immediately looked happy and showed extraordinary combat power, with a vague tendency to suppress the Japanese invasion.
In the distance, Shigeichi Hatan was first happy and looked at the hand-to-hand battle in the distance with a smile on his telescope. But not long after, a large number of horses ran away from the east. Shigeichi Hatan immediately changed his face and thought to himself: "No, it must be the cavalry of the Chinese team."
As the highest commander of the Japanese devils' Jingzhou garrison, Hatan Shigeichi knew very well about the Japanese devils' army near Jingzhou. As soon as he heard so many horses running, Hatan Shigeichi believed that it was definitely not his reinforcements, and that it must be the cavalry of the Chinese team.
Shigeichi Hatan, whose face immediately became very ugly, seemed a little angry now. He pulled out his command knife and slashed hard on the car next to him. Mars shot out, slashing out a very shallow knife mark on the car. But I don’t know if the blade of Shigeichi Hatan was broken.
The Japanese Chief of Staff next to him also looked helpless and thought to himself that the Second Infantry Regiment is over. In the face of the cavalry, the infantry is not the opponent at all, and the infantry can only be killed.
In a few minutes, nearly two thousand soldiers of the Cavalry regiment joined the battle group, waving sharp sabers and riding tall war horses. The Cavalry regiment was like a group of wolves rushing into the flock of sheep, and wherever they went, they were invincible.
A soldier from the 612th Regiment had just stabbed a Japanese devil to death, and he had a lottery on his body, but at this time, two Japanese devils were holding bayonets and shouting, rushing towards him. The soldier was full of determination and was ready to fight with these two Japanese devils.
When the soldier was about to rush forward with his bayonet, a black shadow suddenly arrived instantly, and two sharp sabers cut off the heads of the two Japanese. The two Japanese heads flew high, and the two Japanese corpses without Japanese heads gushed out blood.
The blood that gushed out almost spurted the warrior. The warrior hurriedly stopped rushing forward and looked at the black shadow that suddenly appeared. It turned out that the black shadow was a soldier from a cavalry regiment. He was smiling at the warrior and showing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
"Brother, thank you." The soldier said gratefully immediately.
"It's all my own people, don't be polite. I'm going to kill the Japanese. I won't talk to you more." The cavalry soldier smiled slightly, then rode his horse forward and rushed towards the few Japanese in the distance.
With the addition of the cavalry regiment, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed, and a one-sided situation emerged. The Japanese became the target of slaughter. As the Japanese continued to decrease, this one-sided situation became more obvious.
Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, saw that the soldiers had an absolute advantage with the joining of the cavalry regiment, so he stopped killing the Japanese. Instead, he observed the situation on the battlefield. Seeing the powerful combat power of the cavalry regiment, Zhu Ming became happier and happier, and sighed in his heart: "The cavalry regiment is really a surprise soldier."
Commander Kong of the Cavalry Regiment also saw Zhu Ming not far away, and immediately rode his horse over and said with a smile: "Captain Zhu, we came in time!"
"You came too timely," Zhu Ming said with gratitude, "Your cavalry regiment is really powerful. This hand-to-hand combat is really nothing to say. I admire my old Zhu, Lao Kong, when the battle is over, I will invite you to drink."
When I heard that there was wine to drink, Commander Kong of the Cavalry Regiment was immediately happy and said happily: "Okay, Lao Zhu, then I'll wait for your good wine." (To be continued...)
