The two war horses ran hard under the urging of soldiers.

The sound of horse hooves instantly spread to all over the world.

Although it was nearly 800 meters away, the Japanese cavalry were also alarmed.

Looking around, two small black dots were running wildly in the distance.

"Damn it, it's the Chinese observation post!" The Japanese cavalry reacted instantly.

A Japanese grandson riding on a tall horse picked up a telescope hanging around his neck. It was clearly evident in his vision that two Chinese cavalry were fleeing wildly.

"Catch up and kill them, and never let them take the coordinates of our army's landing place to cross the river." The master put down his telescope and gave a simple order.

"The task given to us by the deputy corps commander and the division commander is just to find out if there are any artillery positions hidden by the enemy within a five-kilometer range, and there is no..." A cavalry captain urged the horse and came over to suggest.

"Suzuki, tell me, what is the purpose of the Chinese keeping cavalry as sentinels here?" The Major glanced at his subordinates and looked at the time.

"Observe the movements of our army and report to its commander." The captain hurriedly answered respectfully.

The Major's expression already means that he is very unhappy.

Not to mention that this Fujiwara Ichi is still his direct superior, his family background is not comparable to that of a small noble family like him who lives in Kyoto.

"Suzuki, the Chinese we are about to meet have proved that their artillery is sharp with the blood of the Imperial Army warriors. The commander has to set up fast horse sentries on the riverside more than ten kilometers away from the city. Isn't the purpose obvious enough?" Seeing his subordinates respectfully, the master's gaze relaxed a little and said coldly.

"That means that they will definitely have hidden artillery positions nearby. The sentry fled in panic. Wouldn't it just take us there?" The master ordered while slowly urging the horse.

"Transfer my military orders, and the entire army should keep their horses fast and not chase them too close. I want the Chinese artillery to be exposed on their own initiative. Also, the entire army is vigilant. Once the artillery attack is encountered, the entire army will scatter into the fields. Without my orders, you must not attack without authorization."

"Hi! The deputy captain of the regiment is wise!" The Japanese captain bowed his head and took the order heavily. In the end, he did not forget to give him a flattery to make up for his mistake of talking too much just now.

In fact, as the deputy squadron leader of the cavalry squadron, he just suggested that it was his duty, otherwise the battlefield would suffer losses. This second-generation nobleman from Kyoto came to gilt may be fine. He, the deputy squadron leader who was actually responsible for commanding the battle, would be in trouble.

Not only did he understand this, but he also understood this with a arrogant look on his face, the deputy captain of the 18th Cavalry Regiment and the squadron of the First Cavalry Squadron.

However, what made him agree to this decision was not his official position and background.

As early as when he left North China to march southeast China, the captain of the Zhongzuo Regiment had personally told him in private that military affairs should be the priority. If the second generation of the gold-plated noble people was right, it would naturally be up to him. But if he did it nonsense, he would have to obey the captain's direct disobedience.

And the reason why I nodded my head to agree now is that this person analyzes it correctly and the arrangements are fine. That is a happy thing for everyone!

Seeing his deputy squadron leader arrange according to his orders, the young master showed a hint of undetectable anger in his eyes.

As a direct line of the Fujiwara family, if you want to go to a higher position, you must have the experience of joining the army. In order to ensure safety, the family arranged for him to come to the B-type division of the 114th Division for training, and he himself chose the most noble military in the army, such as the Cavalry Regiment.

Riding a tall horse with a shiny saber in his hand, it was much better than those infantry tramps.

Unexpectedly, as the deputy captain of the cavalry corps, he was also highly constrained in a Class B division.

Just like this deputy squadron leader, he respected him extremely, but in fact he could feel that like those cavalrymen of all kinds and aristocrats, he did not particularly look down on him, who would be promoted to a high level for at most one year.

Although there are few confrontations on the front, only the respect that is revealed on the surface is an insult to the young Japanese nobles.

He needs one year of experience in the front-line army, but it does not mean that the proud young master is wasting his life.

Qualifications, military achievements, respectful eyes emitted from the bottom of our hearts, and the boss's satisfied appreciation...

Adults, if they don’t make choices, they want everything they deserve.

Perhaps this battle in Songjiang is an opportunity.

Of course, the young master who is eager to show himself has received the top-level education and the most rigorous training since he was a child. He will never be greedy for me just because he wants everything, so he can still make tactical arrangements very calmly.

Chasing the opponent's whistle and finding the real target, thus calling on one's own cannon group or even fighter planes to destroy the target is the right way.

Even if the cavalry just fled to Songjiang City, that was nothing. He searched for the five-kilometer area according to the military order and successfully completed the task.

It is precisely based on this that the squadron deputy who held the thigh of the Zhongzuo United team leader who was not here was able to obey the orders neatly.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and as the Japanese cavalry urged the horses to speed up, the ground trembled slightly.

This is just the power of nearly a hundred war horses acting together. If it were thousands or even thousands, what would the momentum of destroying the world be like?

It is probably difficult for soldiers who have entered the modern era of firearms to see it again.

Cavalry is still the most expensive army in this era except mechanized troops. If you don’t have money, you can only see it.

Even in the Japanese army, there were only a small number of configurations, one division and one cavalry regiment.

Although the cavalry corps directly under the Japanese division is organized, it is different from the infantry corps, and it is also different from the cavalry corps that form independent armies. Its organization is roughly 4 cavalry squadrons and one machine gun squadron, with 452 personnel and more than 500 horses, equipped with six heavy machine guns, 24 light machine guns and 24 grenade launchers.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although there is no infantry cannon, this firepower can basically cope with an ordinary infantry regiment of the Chinese. And because it is equipped with horses, its mobility is far greater than that of ordinary infantry. When fighting in the field, unless the infantry regiment holds its position, it will be constantly attacked and bitten by such a cavalry regiment, and eventually collapse.

It is a Japanese tactical armament that the Chinese army is extremely unwilling to encounter.

A single cavalry squadron has 98 personnel, which is the most backbone combat unit of the cavalry corps.

Because the 114th Division where Major Fujiwara is a Class B Division, and the cavalry gang is a terrifying gold-swallowing beast, the cost of spending is even comparable to that of an artillery gang. Therefore, the Japanese's inherent pissing and urinating properties are naturally revealed.

A cavalry corps has two cavalry squadrons and a machine gun squadron, with almost half of the personnel structure. Otherwise, the second person in the 18th Cavalry corps, Fujiwara Ichiko said that he would have to command two cavalry squadrons, unlike now, who would have led less than a hundred cavalrymen to chase the backs of two Chinese cavalry running on horseback.

For forward reconnaissance alone, it is not a small amount, but if you encounter enemy situations, it is definitely not a large amount.

As the largest commodity distribution center around Songhu, Songjiang City is the largest commodity distribution center across the country, 50% of the goods transported to Songhu are first concentrated here and then transported by land to Songhu market dozens of kilometers away.

In other words, this is a city dominated by commerce. Not only is the water transportation developed, but the various paths outside Songjiang City are also crisscrossed. In addition, after autumn, the crops in the fields have long been harvested and the fields have dried up. Even if the cavalry goes down to the fields, there will be no deep horse hooves.

Very suitable for cavalry to ride on horseback.

Of course, the Jiangnan water town is not the vast North China Plain. Looking around, lush and small hills can be seen everywhere in the fields, neither high nor dangerous, but there are a few more beautiful and elegant atmospheres in the empty wilderness.

This is also the main reason why Fujiwara concluded that the Chinese would have artillery positions hidden after observing with a telescope.

If it is a vast plain, you will not be able to die if you put artillery soldiers in a place! Hills and woods are the best cover.

But this proud cavalry master probably didn't expect that his opponent had no intention of playing half-floor attacks from the beginning. After a big stick round, the mobile artillery returned to the city early, leaving only purely mobile cavalry in the field.

The cavalry of the Northeast Army was the only Chinese army that was not inferior to the Japanese cavalry in the early days of the war.

Moreover, because of Tang Dao's judgment, as the leader of the cavalry battalion, Gong Shaoxun left two cavalry companies at this ferry, plus a cavalry company escorting the artillery back, about 200 cavalrymen.

The cavalry of the Northeast Army decided to have a game before the city offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese cavalry on the land in the south of the Yangtze River.
