Chapter 20 The Elegy of the Tenth Cavalry Regiment (1)
The reason why Mr. Nakasa of Kurata has not issued a devastating blow to the hill is very simple, that is, Mr. Kurata's brain is already in a state of crash at this time.
The reason why Lord Murata's brain crashed was the rapid movement of black shadows emerged from behind the 10th Cavalry Regiment.
It was already the rising sun. The black shadows, who were circling the neat cavalry battle formations from behind to the 10th Cavalry Regiment, were more or less touched with some of the initial brilliance of the sun, making the second half appear a light red light.
Judging from the size and movement speed of these black shadows, Kuantan Nakasa did not think that it would be infantry, and most of them did not look like cavalry, but rather like an armored cluster.
The armored cluster is the nemesis of the cavalry! But the Chinese army has armored clusters, right?
As a backbone of the intermediate officers of the Japanese army, Murata was fortunate to read a report on the equipment of the Chinese army, which included intelligence analysis on the armored weapons owned by the Chinese army.
Kuantan Nakasa knew that there were a small number of German armored vehicles in the Chinese army, but that were only thirty or forty. Among the many black shadows rushing from behind, there were at least dozens of big guys. Could it be that he was really lucky that he could encounter all the armored vehicles of the Chinese army on the battlefield? Kuantan Nakasasa didn't believe that he was really so unlucky!
After calming down and finally regaining normal behavior, Kuantanakasa immediately issued a new combat command to his wing.
"The main force of the wing turned back and formed an impact formation. The second battalion quickly resolved the remnants of the Chinese cavalry on the hill ahead at all costs after the artillery bombarded the hills and regained the flag of the 40th Regiment."
In general, Kuantan Nakasa was also a competent cavalry corps commander. After a strong enemy appeared behind the corps, he finally got rid of the bad habit of using troops and was a little worried about gains and losses, and began to become decisive.
Zhong Zuo's combat intention was very clear, and he used most of the corps to drag the enemy troops who were suspected of being armored clusters from behind. He used a large squadron of troops to cover and eliminate the insulting imperial army on the hills, a small army of the Chinese army. As for the use of cavalry to forcibly attack infantry with strong firepower with hilly terrain, the preparatory infantry would have to pay, Zhong Zuo no longer planned to consider the issue of how much it would cost.
If the flag of the 40th Regiment really fell into the hands of the Chinese army and was taken internationally by the Chinese. This consequence is not only not something that he, a small Zhongjiao, can afford, but even the division's priest, may not be able to bear this responsibility.
You should know that in the war with other countries after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese army had never been captured by the enemy by a corps battle flag. If this precedent was set on the 10th Division, the aura of the base camp would burn the 10th Division.
Kuantan Nakasa, who came back from his incredible shock, was very anxious. Less than a minute after he issued the order, the first Japanese comprehension bomb fell on the heads of Wen Songyuan and others.
The Japanese army was not slow, and the Chinese army that was hiding from behind the Japanese army was faster.
Almost at the same time when the Japanese mortars were bored, four Chinese artillery shells also flew towards the Japanese cavalry that had no time to disperse.
Two of them exploded less than 100 meters away from the Japanese cavalry's round formation, causing no direct casualties to the Japanese cavalry.
For the Japanese army, the other two shots were not so easy to talk about. One of them hit the left wing of the Japanese standard cavalry round formation, which immediately missing a corner of the Japanese round formation. Thirty or forty Japanese soldiers were killed off, causing chaos in the Japanese formation. The last shot happened to be on the edge of the Japanese mortar position. Although only two 82 mortars were knocked out, it forced the Japanese army to immediately transfer their positions, for fear of being taken to the cannon of the Chinese army.
The most unfortunate thing was that Lord Nakazo, who had just left the artillery position and was about to organize the troops to turn, was just around the killing range of the damn shell. A piece of shrapnel hit the poor Nakazo's buttocks and cut off a piece of meat that was the size of a palm.
Regardless of the severe pain on his buttocks, Lord Nakasa covered the wound on his buttocks with his hands and stood up, the first sentence was: "Scatter."
Sang Tian, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, understood that this powerful shell showed that the opponent had more than four 75-caliber field cannons. This cannon that was mainly used to destroy solid fortifications was used to destroy his own unobstructed cavalry. The Imperial Army had no valuable experience of bullying by the Chinese army with superior firepower. If the team was not dispersed in time, the losses would be great.
Cheng Jiaji, who was on the station bus, saw the formation of the Japanese cavalry in the telescope and naturally would not miss this opportunity. Under his strict orders, the Chinese army's dense artillery fire hit the Japanese cavalry cluster in a very short time. For a moment, the Japanese army's troops were flying flesh and blood and howls.
"Go to attack." Seeing the Japanese encirclement in chaos, Wen Songyuan would be too stupid to give up the last glimmer of life. More than a dozen Chinese cavalry who had been trapped for a long time rushed towards the Japanese encirclement like arrows.
"Cathing camp, rush up." Cheng Jiaji had already discovered Wen Songyuan and others who were rushing down from the hill at this time, and hurriedly ordered the cavalry to detour from the right side of the Japanese cavalry round formation to respond.
In a moment, the cavalry battalion rushed into the Japanese army's army's army. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's dispersing formation because they wanted to avoid artillery attacks, Jiang Feng commanded the cavalry battalion to quickly break through the Japanese army's defense against the hills and met with Wen Songyuan and others.
It is easy to rush in and meet, but it is difficult to rush out.
When the Japanese cavalry saw that the Chinese on the hill were about to emerge from the large number of Chinese cavalry coming from behind. In desperation, the Japanese army did not care whether the casualties were too high or not. Under the personal command of Nakasa Murata, the Chinese cavalry that had merged from all directions like a hungry wolf surrounded and killed them from all directions.
At this time, in order not to accidentally hurt his cavalry, the Chinese army's artillery fire only dared to hit the Japanese, and would not be able to help the cavalry duel under the hills.
Jiang Feng and Wen Songyuan led the cavalry to fight to the death but couldn't tear a hole, which made the Japanese encirclement tighter and tighter.
"Kill" Jiang Feng had just tried his best to chop a Japanese man down the horse, and another Japanese man came up. Jiang Feng, who had not yet recovered from the battle just now, was almost cut off by the Japanese sword. Fortunately, when the Japanese army's sword was about to come, Jiang Feng flashed and finally escaped the disaster. However, his right hand also made the Japanese scratch. Although he did not hurt the important place, he was bleeding like a sabre.
When the Japanese cavalry wanted to make a knife for Jiang Feng to do his best, a Chinese cavalry rushed over from one side and slashed the Japanese knight on the neck. With the momentum of the war horse, the sword was quite powerful, and the Japanese cavalry's head was immediately cut off and flew.
"Thank you, thank you." Jiang Feng said to the knight who came over to save his life.
The knight's body was covered in blood and blood, and even his face was covered in blood. It was Wen Songyuan. Jiang Feng could recognize his current appearance.
"Kill." Wen Songyuan did not say anything to Jiang Feng, but rushed towards the Japanese in one fell swoop.
