Everyone in the Third Battalion Division was immersed in the joy of the severe damage to the Japanese army just now, and Zhou Cheng was no exception.

After reading the list of battle results and damages calculated by Chen Zhengyu, Zhou Cheng's face gradually returned to seriousness.

"Old Tang, the Japanese army that attacked us had a full infantry squadron left, half of the artillery and heavy machine gun troops, and their strength advantage was gone."

"Before the main force attacking Zhangzhuang Town comes, they will definitely not dare to act rashly, otherwise they would not retreat directly for hundreds of meters and put on a defensive posture."

"Since the threat at the garrison has been lifted, it will be meaningless to place so many troops at the garrison. I decided to divide the troops tonight, and you and Lao Chen would stay at the garrison. I will take Deputy Battalion Commander Li to reinforce the headquarters!"

Chen Zhengyu hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Battery Commander, it is very difficult to divide the troops tonight."

"When I came back from the front line, although the Japanese retreated several hundred meters, their cavalry did not retreat but advanced, and bypassed our blocking positions. Four or five cavalrymen patrol and guarded the town, staring at us."

"The troops will definitely be exposed when they leave the town at this time. It will be too dangerous to be attacked by the Japanese infantry and cavalry."

Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and laughed: "No problem!"

"Hasn't our third battalion been short of war horses? Until now, the correspondents still have to rely on two legs to deliver messages, which is too slow."

"If we can kill all these 30 cavalrymen, not only can the communication squad be equipped with war horses, but the reconnaissance platoon and the guard platoon can form a cavalry squad, which greatly increases the mobility of our third battalion."

Chen Zhengyu didn't know where Zhou Cheng got his confidence, and he seemed to not take the Japanese cavalry seriously at all, so he quickly reminded him.

"Battery Commander, don't be impulsive."

"The opponent is a cavalry, without a trace, it will definitely not be so easy to kill!"

"On the way back, I thought: if we have more troops to attack, the Japanese cavalry will definitely escape and call the infantry to siege us together."

"There are fewer troops to attack, and the cavalry can kill us all with just one assault."

"You have never seen cavalry assaults. On the battlefield, the same number of infantry and cavalry meet, and the infantry has no chance to fight back. They are directly slaughtered by the cavalry..."

Zhou Cheng refused to comment: "Old Chen, the cavalry is indeed powerful, but it is not as mysterious as you said!"

"If the cavalry can really compete on the battlefield and be invincible, the Japanese can only dispatch cavalry when they invade us. Why do they have to spend a lot of effort to form so many infantry, artillery, and chariot troops?"

"This shows that cavalry also has weaknesses and fears."

Chen Zhengyu did not respond and fell into deep thought following Zhou Cheng's thoughts.

Not long after, the sadness on his face disappeared, his eyes shone and shouted: "Yes, they do have weaknesses!"

"I used to fight with the Ma family army when I was in the Northwest Army. They were all cavalrymen. I heard from my superiors how to deal with cavalrymen."

"One is terrain and the other is firepower."

"Caval assault has high requirements for terrain. If cavalry assaults are brought into the mountainous areas, their assault advantages will not be able to be exerted, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the same number of infantry."

"If we equipped a sufficient number of light and heavy machine guns and lined up in front of them, the cavalry's assault speed would not be able to rush through."

After saying that, Chen Zhengyu stared at Zhou Cheng and asked: "Battery Commander, do you want to bring a large number of light and heavy machine guns to attack these cavalry [5200     www.bqg5200.biz] soldiers?"

Before Zhou Cheng could speak, Chen Zhengyu vetoed his proposal to himself.

"This method won't work!"

"The Japanese are not stupid. Seeing that we dispatched so many light and heavy machine guns to deal with them, the cavalry would definitely not come to die. They would definitely ask the infantry for help, and the infantry and cavalry united to attack us!"

“It’s even more impossible to use terrain to deal with them.”

"It is a mountainous area three or four kilometers away from the town. No matter how fast we run on two legs, we can't compare to the cavalry."

"The attacking troops had no chance to escape the cavalry's pursuit and into the mountains."

Zhou Cheng shook his head again: "Old Chen, the weapon with strong firepower is not just light and heavy machine guns!"

"Twenty-shot box cannons?" Chen Zhengyu finally understood why Zhou Cheng was so confident.

His mind suddenly became clear, and he suddenly realized his mind and shouted, "I understand what you think."

"We can draw elite troops from the entire battalion, form several small teams, and equip a box cannon to leave the town!"

"There are few people in the squad, and the cavalry will definitely not ask for help from the infantry after discovering it. They will launch an assault directly on the squad."

"The five Japanese cavalry teams are in a group. Our team also arranges five people to equip five box cannons. After the cavalry rushed to the thirty or forty meters, they suddenly opened fire. A box cannon against a Japanese. The cavalry's assault speed is no matter how fast the cavalry's assault speed is, it is not as fast as the bullet..."

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Just fight like this, Lao Chen, please arrange it immediately and equip all the box cannons in the battalion with a small team..."

On the open space more than 500 meters east of Donghui Town, there were only two of the five Japanese cavalry riders on war horses, looking at the town from afar.

The remaining three cavalrymen sat around behind a small leeward mound to rest, ready to take over the comrades who were on duty at any time.

"Be wary! Someone came out of the town!" a sentry shouted.

The three Japanese who were resting immediately opened their eyes and climbed onto the war horse very quickly. They were very skillful in their movements. They knew at a glance that they were veterans who had been through the battlefield for a long time.

The leader Cao was the leader of the team, and he made a judgment after taking a look at the gate.

"The enemy has only five infantry and is not equipped with light and heavy machine guns. It should be sending out messages!"

"Sir, should we kill them now and kill them!" A soldier shouted with his eyes, and his shaking sabre was already held in his hand. As long as Chief Cao gave his order, he rushed over and killed someone immediately.

"Don't hurry!" Mr. Cao still had some brains, not as impulsive as his subordinates.

"After the enemy completely leaves the town, they will attack. Now they are too close to the town and can withdraw at any time."

"This is the fat that the enemy has sent to our mouths, so we must not let them escape."

After saying that, Chief Cao led his four subordinates to follow the team far away.

This is a small team led by Xiang Feng himself. All four team members are platoon leaders in the camp. They have killed the Japanese and have good psychological qualities.

After confirming that no one left for help from the five Japanese, Xiang Feng knew that the regiment commander's plan had been more than half successful.

Next, as long as the Japanese army launches an initiative to attack, they will win.

After the team ran out of the town almost one kilometer, the cavalry finally moved.

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and it was like thunder that reached several people's ears.

These team members are facing cavalry for the first time. Although they have only five opponents, their attack posture is no worse than that of half a team of Japanese soldiers.

Everyone became nervous, holding the box cannon in his hand, waiting for Xiang Feng to give orders.

"We lined up, all squatted down, keep calm, no one could shoot in advance without my orders." Xiang Feng was also nervous, but as the company commander, he had to take the lead in cheering up.

"We have five box cannons, and the power of close-range shooting is no less than that of light machine guns. One box cannon against a cavalry, and there is no reason not to win!"

The cavalry rushed closer and closer, and the five team members could clearly see their sabers waving and became even more nervous.

But the veteran was a veteran after all, and he did not panic because of nervousness. He strictly implemented Xiang Feng's orders, forced himself to remain calm, half-squatted on the ground, held the rifle in his hand, and acted as if he wanted to use a rifle to fight against five cavalrymen.

The Japanese Chief Cao also saw the reactions of five opponents at the same time.

Seeing that they did not run away immediately, I thought they had something to rely on, and a hint of worry flashed through my heart, but it was soon dispelled by the opponent's next move.

Because the other party actually wanted to block himself with a rifle.

Cao Chang smiled with contempt, not knowing whether to say that his opponent is stupid or that they are arrogant.

The cavalry is so fast and the rifle is slow to fire, how can it stop itself?

He quickly raised his saber and shouted arrogantly: "Warriors, since our opponents want to die, then we will fulfill them."

"One person attacks the target, use a saber to split them in half!"

"Kill and give it to me!"

When the five infantry were still last fifty meters away, the rifleman fired.

The result was not beyond Cao Chang's expectations. The five cavalrymen were intact and none of them were lunch.

In order to prevent accidents, Mr. Cao kept lying on the horse's back to reduce the area of ​​shots.

As soon as the gun fired, Cao Chang immediately straightened his body. The remaining distance between the cavalry only took two or three seconds to rush to the opponent. The time was too short and they were not enough to fire the second shot, so there would definitely be no problem with their safety.

The other Japanese also straightened their bodies, raised their saber high, and prepared to conduct the final assault.

"Change the box cannon...shoot..." Xiang Feng ordered after firing the gun.

The cavalry is too fast, and the opponent may rush to him one second later.

The rifle was thrown directly to the ground and quickly grabbed the loaded box cannon.

At this time, the five Japanese had already rushed to thirty meters away. Xiang Feng could even see their figure clearly, and he hugged the fire in front of the horse's straight upper body.

"Smack it..."

The gunshots, and the Japanese on the horse's back fall down.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining cavalry were ready to turn, but the remaining four box cannons also joined the battle.

All one hundred bullets flew out in less than two seconds, five cavalry advanced together, and the shooting distance was close, so there was no way to hide. Each cavalry had at least two blood holes drilled, and two war horses were hit, hitting the ground with neighing sounds, making two dull collisions.

The three surviving war horses rushed to Xiang Feng before stopping.

Two of the war horses were dragging two Japanese corpses.

The four veterans were confused, but they didn't expect that the five cavalry would be dealt with by them.

Xiang Feng reacted the fastest: "Why are you still standing there? Clean the battlefield and retreat immediately!"

"Take all the war horses, equipment, and two war horses that were killed back. This is a good thing to improve the food of the army. One war horse is enough to eat the whole camp for a day."
