But at this moment, more than 100 light machine guns equipped by the Third Division opened fire.

As soon as the light machine gun was fired, the firepower blocking the Japanese cavalry immediately doubled.

As a result, the cavalry's losses will become greater and greater. It will become more and more difficult to attack forward.

The two cavalry captains who rushed to the end looked at each other and cursed the words Baga at the same time.

After that, a corps leader immediately ordered the troops to be dispersed and the two wings were detoured. Don't just rush in one direction and hit the guns of the Liaodong Army directly.

However, no matter how they dispersed, the Liaodong Army welcomed them with a dense rain of bullets.

Because the Third Division was equipped with a large number of light machine guns, the Japanese cavalry divided their troops, and these light machine guns were also transferred, and they could always block them with dense machine gun fire in front of the Japanese cavalry.

"Bageya Road, the firepower of the Liaodong Army is too strong! The warriors can't rush up at all!" After the detour had no results, the captain of the regiment who had just asked the troops to attack by the detour, cursed again.

Another wing captain frowned and said, "Our two wings have lost more than half of them and can't continue rushing, otherwise the Warriors will die here. It's meaningless to continue rushing like this!"

After looking at each other, the two almost spoke in unison: "Retreat, we must have infantry support and provide fire cover for us so that we can break a hole!"

The Japanese army who received the flag-tongued signal immediately turned around and began to retreat.

But they are cavalry running fast, not infantry.

Infantry can retreat with one turn, but they cannot do it. They must have enough space to turn around with people and horses during the attack, and then retreat quickly.

However, the Liaodong Army, who were standing in front of them, did not intend to give them this opportunity. As long as they continued to rush forward, dense bullets kept calling them.

In this way, the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield could only retreat with a stupid way.

The cavalry in front blocked the bullets, the cavalry behind quickly stopped, turned the horse's head on the spot and then slowly retreated.

Doing this is undoubtedly a very time-consuming process, but time is on the battlefield of life, and there is not so much time for them to do so.

The Japanese army that had just begun to retreat appeared on the battlefield, and the cavalry that rushed in front to block the bullets were killed.

As a result, many cavalrymen who were turning around on the battlefield became the shooting targets of light and heavy machine gunners.

When the gunfire shrouded on the battlefield slowly stopped, there was no Japanese cavalry still riding on war horses on the battlefield filled with the strong smell of blood.

From one hundred and forty meters to three hundred meters in front of the formation, a whole layer of Japanese and war horse corpses were pounced on, densely packed, very bloody and tragic.

Hundreds of war horses that were not killed were scattered alone on the battlefield and wandered back and forth on the battlefield.

"Teacher Commander, more than 2,000 cavalry retreated less than 500. The two Japanese cavalry regiments are over. Should people bring back the war horses on the battlefield?" The chief of staff next to Zhao Zhigang was excited and asked quickly.

"Not only the war horses, but also the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese cavalry. The remaining hundreds of cavalry were already scared by us, so we would never dare to attack us again."

After the Third Division cleaned the battlefield, the infantry from a subsequent regiment arrived at the battlefield.

Because the troops advanced lightly and did not carry artillery. After hearing about the encounters between the two cavalry corpses, the captain of the infantry corps immediately stopped the idea of ​​launching an attack directly.

In this way, the enemy and our army spent an hour very peacefully.

After the main Japanese army arrived at the battlefield, the Third Division finally dug up the unformed trenches.

Although more than 10,000 Japanese troops gave up almost all the large carts of supplies, they still brought a lot of field cannons that could be pulled with a slow horse.

As soon as he heard the report of the Cavalry Regiment Captain, the Chief of Staff set up all dozens of field artillery and blasted towards the Third Division's position.

The Third Division is not a vegetarian. The field artillery regiment plus three mountain artillery battalions, and more than 100 mountain artillery pieces immediately counterattacked.

As soon as the violent explosion sounded at the Japanese field artillery position, the Japanese chief of staff's face turned pale.

Under such fierce counterattack artillery fire, even if the Chief of Staff was not an artillery, he knew that his limited dozens of field cannons were definitely not the opponent of the Liaodong Army gunners.

Artillery is not an opponent, and the chief of staff can only place hope on the infantry.

While the artillery soldiers on both sides were still in artillery battles, the more than 100 mountain field artillery equipped by the Liaodong Army could not take into account the infantry, and the Chief of Staff immediately ordered an infantry corps to launch a cluster attack on the Third Division's position.

In order to withdraw alive, the Chief of Staff also fought desperately.

A total of more than 100 heavy machine guns were drawn from each unit to provide fire cover. Then nearly 100 light machine guns were drawn as the first echelon of the offensive troops, firing fire at the Third Division while attacking.

The dense firepower immediately made the Third Division unable to lift its head. Even the heavy machine guns placed on the position could not be fired continuously.

Even so, the light and heavy machine gunners who were mainly taken care of by the Japanese army were constantly hit, replaced one after another.

Looking at the Japanese army constantly advancing toward their own defense line in front of the formation, Zhao Zhigang was also frightened by such a fierce attack by the Japanese army.

The chief of staff next to him frowned and said, "Terminal Commander, the Japanese army is fighting with us! We must strengthen the firepower of the defenders, otherwise the brothers will not be able to stop them at all!"

Zhao Zhigang directly turned his gaze to the artillery staff next to him and asked solemnly: "How is the artillery battle? Can you pull out the three mountain artillery battalions?"

The artillery staff quickly replied: "The Japanese field artillery troops have lost more than half of them, but our field artillery regiment has lost less than 20%. The field artillery regiment can deal with them independently!"

"It's a good fight!" Zhao Zhigang answered with satisfaction.

"Then let the field artillery regiment continue to destroy the Japanese field artillery troops... The three mountain artillery battalions immediately adjust the shooting targets, two mountain artillery battalions bombard the Japanese heavy machine gun positions, and one mountain artillery battalion bombards the Japanese offensive troops. How to bombard them yourself, you must fire the gun in two minutes."

When the unstoppable Japanese army reached more than 100 meters in front of the formation, the three mountain artillery battalions finally fired.

As soon as the shell hit the battlefield and exploded, the Japanese offensive eased.

Especially the Japanese army's densely packed attacking troops, one shell went down and at least a dozen sunsets were blown to the ground.

The heavy machine gun positions that were concentrated together were not much better. Dozens of shells fell to the ground and exploded. More than a dozen heavy machine guns were directly covered by artillery fire, all of which were silent.

After several rounds of shells, more than half of the heavy machine guns that the Japanese chief of staff had finally gathered together had been lost.
