Chapter 195 Just bullying you without cavalry
"Boom..."
A sound of horse hooves slowly spread from far to near to everyone's ears.
Wang Dehou's face turned pale. He had no cavalry and the garrison did not send cavalry here. No, to be precise, he should not be equipped with cavalry yet. The cavalry that appeared outside the town must have come from the Third Battalion.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Looking at the sound, dozens of cavalrymen were like black dots, quickly approaching the town.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and darker, and the outline of the cavalry slowly appeared in Wang Dehou's vision.
Dozens of cavalry rushed over on horseback, each carrying a horse and a rifle.
When the guard positions he had arranged in the south of the town were three or four hundred meters away, the guards began to shoot at them because of their nervousness.
The crackling sound of gunfire sounded, but the cavalry was not affected at all and continued to kill them.
After rushing to the front two or three hundred meters in front of the formation, he finally stopped.
Just when everyone thought the cavalry was about to stop attacking, a picture that surprised Wang Dehou appeared directly in front of him.
Dozens of cavalry actually lifted a heavy machine gun from the horse's back, put it on the nearby high ground, and hugged the fire at the warning position.
After all, the alert position is not a real position. It only relies on favorable terrain to pile up sandbags. The troops hid behind the sandbags that were more than half a meter high to shoot at the cavalry, without even a single bunker.
When heavy machine gun bullets flew over, many soldiers' bodies were exposed outside the sandbags.
The bullets were extremely powerful and flew fast, so they had no choice but to hide. They didn't even have time to scream and were shot and fell behind the sandbag.
A bloody hole the size of a fist was punched out of the upper body, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dying with his eyes closed...
"Hidden..." the platoon leader shouted in horror.
The living soldiers were even more exaggerated. Some of them were so scared that they began to slap their bodies and hid behind the sandbags and started crying.
As for raising their heads and fighting back, they wouldn't dare to give them ten more courage.
"Boom..."
The remaining cavalry ran again, and their speed was getting faster and faster, and the rifle in their hands had been replaced with a saber.
For the rifleman, it takes at least two minutes to complete the two or three white meters.
But the attack was carried out by the cavalry. Once the speed was added up, it would take less than half a minute to reach the alert position.
The platoon leader was shocked. Although he was a veteran, it was the first time he had faced a cavalry assault at such a close distance.
When the cavalry came to an end, they had already rushed to more than a hundred meters away.
Hurry up and order the remaining troops on the alert position to fire and fight back, otherwise everyone will die after the cavalry comes.
But half of the remaining more than 20 soldiers were recruits.
Facing the bloody corpses beside him, they all squatted aside and vomited, their faces pale, and they couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone shooting with a gun.
Although the remaining veteran calmed down, the heavy machine gun bullets flying above his head were too dense. A veteran stretched out his head from behind the sandbag, and half of his head was cut off, and red and white brain splashed everywhere.
With this precedent, no matter how the platoon leader encouraged them or threatened them, no one in the warning position showed up.
"Boom..."
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the land under their feet began to tremble.
The cavalry rushing towards him suddenly divided their troops, and more than twenty cavalry continued to assault head-on, and more than twenty cavalry rushed towards the flank of the alert position.
Before the platoon leader could understand, the cavalry company had surrounded them.
"Snatch the gun and don't kill..."
The cavalry company commander Tao Yongsheng rushed to the alert position first, quickly grabbed the reins of the war horse, pointed forward with the neighing sound of the war horse.
The other cavalry shouted: "Put down the gun and don't kill them, kneel down and give preferential treatment to prisoners..."
The guards were already scared and frightened. Seeing dozens of cavalry eyeing the guard positions, they were posing as if they would kill everyone with a saber without surrender. They had no courage to resist and immediately knelt on the ground.
If the Japanese surrounded, the results will definitely be very different.
Those who are more careful can see that dozens of cavalry look very scary, but not many people are truly confident. Most of the cavalry are young men who have just learned how to ride horses, and they can't even ride horses and rush, let alone go to the battlefield.
According to Zhou Cheng's previous order, the cavalry company will not participate in any battles until it forms combat effectiveness.
But at the last moment of sending troops to Zhangzhuang Town, Zhou Cheng temporarily decided to let the cavalry company join the operation.
Because he had just received the latest enemy information report sent by Tang Shengbo from the county town.
Neither the troops stationed in Zhangzhuang Town nor the Japanese sent to Zhangzhuang Town in the county town, there was no cavalry unit.
Although the cavalry company has not formed combat power and cannot fight against the Japanese, no one can deny its strong assault ability and maneuverability.
If you can't fight the Japanese, you will fight the puppet army. Moreover, you don't need them to fight face to face with the Japanese and puppet army. As long as the cavalry company takes advantage of its own mobile advantages and quickly surround some isolated small puppet army units, you will definitely scare them and then capture them.
After Zhou Cheng expressed his thoughts, the cavalry company commander Tao Yongsheng also thought it was feasible, so the cavalry company came...
The battle process was exactly the same as the battalion commander's judgment. As soon as the heavy machine gun that cooperated with the cavalry company opened fire, the puppet troops, including half of the recruits, suddenly lost most of their combat effectiveness.
Although the cavalry company has not yet formed combat power, the formation of dozens of cavalry rushing together is still very scary.
The troops stationed in Zhangzhuang Town have hardly fought with the cavalry.
Facing a strange opponent, anyone will be afraid.
Many soldiers were scared by the cavalry and their faces were pale and confused...
Tao Yongsheng was particularly excited because he won the first actual battle of the cavalry company, not only did not suffer any casualties, but also captured more than 20 people.
The warning position is only three or four hundred meters away from the town, and the enemy reinforcements can come to fight at any time. Staying here for one minute will make you more dangerous.
This is what the battalion commander once again told him: Before the cavalry company has formed combat effectiveness, the best way to save his life is to keep maneuvering on the battlefield and not give the Japanese and puppet troops the chance to surround him.
The cavalry has four legs and the Japanese have two legs. As long as they do not block the cavalry company, no matter how strong the combat power is, they will not do anything to the cavalry company's silly young people.
Quickly insert the saber back into the scabbard, raise the box cannon and order: "You all follow us, bring all the weapons and ammunition with you, and kill them as traitors..."
The entire raid seemed to have taken a long time, but it was not long.
The cavalry's assault speed was too fast, and it took only half a minute from the start of heavy machine guns to the encirclement of the warning position.
Then I saw the cavalry escorting more than 20 prisoners quickly evacuated the battlefield.
Wang Dehou looked as if he was ashen and immediately sent troops out.
The warning position was originally three or four hundred meters away from the town. When the reinforcements rushed out of the town, the cavalry company had retreated five or six hundred meters away.
If the pursuit continues, the cavalry company of the Third Battalion suddenly turns around and kills a retaliation, the pursuit troops will be in danger.
In order to pursue the safety of the troops, they could only temporarily order them to stop chasing and watch the cavalry company and prisoners slowly disappear from everyone's sight.
"Da da da da...Da da da dong dong..."
The gunfire sounds in the northeast and northwest directions of the town are getting louder and louder, and the scale of the battle seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Wang Dehou, who suffered a loss in the hands of the cavalry company, could only place his hopes on two battles behind him.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to ask for help from Asakawa Nakasa beside him.
The combat power of the third battalion is stronger than that of the first and second battalions, and Wang Dehou still has this self-knowledge.
If you continue to fight hard, even if you win, the first and second battalions will suffer heavy casualties, and the security brigade will become an empty air. At that time, the Japanese will definitely seize the opportunity to intervene in the security brigade and even find ways to undermine themselves.
Facing Asakawa Nakasa, he reported with a thorn in his mouth: "Tajun, the security brigade needs the help of the Imperial Army!"
Asakawa Nakasa's expression was very heavy. He wanted to see the security brigade and the third battalion fight, one of them was both defeated and he was in a loss. However, after seeing the worried expression on Wang Desha, he knew that the security brigade could not do this.
That's trouble.
If the security brigade is defeated, the third battalion will take over the remaining troops of the security brigade, and the overall strength of the third battalion will increase instead of decreasing.
On the other hand, even if the garrison team does not participate in the battle and the two squadrons escape unscathed, it will lose the foreign aid of the Security Brigade. In the future, they will still have to rely on their own strength to deal with the Third Battalion, which is very stressful.
Therefore, the garrison cannot stand idly by and must help the garrison brigade defend Zhangzhuang Town, defeat the third battalion, and maintain their foundation for expanding the troops.
He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "I will draw two reinforcement teams to reinforce two battlefields respectively. I hope they will fight quickly and fight back against the enemies attacking the town."
Wang Dehou was so happy that he almost jumped up and was immediately grateful: "Thank you, Taijun, after the battle, Beizhi went to the command center to express his gratitude to you. In the future, Taijun, you will do whatever you say, and I will ensure that only the leader will follow..."
Asakawa Nakasa could hear it, and Wang Dehou said this very sincerely and his eyes were very sincere.
Eyes cannot deceive people. If Wang Dehou truly joins the Imperial Army and becomes his own confidant, Asakawa doesn't mind accepting him. This will definitely be easier than re-installing a confidant into the security brigade.
His eyes lit up and replied: "Then I will wait for Brigade Commander Wang to come at the garrison command."
In the northwest corner of the town, the battle continues.
On the puppet military police positions, more than 20 soldiers kept firing outwards, but no matter how hard they fought, they were no match for the Third Battalion in firepower.
If the Third Battalion hadn't been testing them with firepower and did not launch a strong attack, the alert position would have been taken down.
The fourth company commander and his soldiers rushed out of the town and looked better. He knew that his chance had come.
Wang Dehou was placed behind the two men in the Fourth Company, one left and one right, but he was not worried at all.
After being the company commander for several months, more than half of the officers and veterans of the Fourth Company were his confidants. If you give them a look, these two people would not survive.
Before, because the troops were staying in the town and there were other troops around him staring at him, Wang Dehou did not announce his surrender to the enemy, and the company commander could not find an opportunity to attack.
Now the opportunity is here!
