News of the National Salvation Army outside the city quickly reached Major General Aso's ears.

As a soldier and a senior Japanese officer, he is also a person who wants to save face. He will definitely not watch the National Saving Army climb onto his head and act wildly, nor will he want to see the National Saving Army in the city break out of the County under the cover of the National Saving Army outside the city. That would be too embarrassing.

Immediately ordered: "The cavalry brigade attacks immediately, be sure to kill the cavalry troops of the National Salvation Army who are active outside the city!"

"Hayi!" The combat staff guarding aside immediately received the order. In less than three minutes, the cavalry squadron guarding the city gate moved, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and then began to weaken again, and finally disappeared from Major General Aso's vision.

A cavalry brigade of Japanese troops had four to five cavalry squadrons, each cavalry squadron had only a hundred cavalry. They were scattered outside the four gates of Jinzhong County, surrounding the remnants of the National Salvation Army that might break out of the county.

Although the cavalry battalion of the National Rescue Army only has five cavalry companies, the four garrisons still have four cavalry companies, and a total of nine cavalry companies are included.

They also divided their troops to attack the four gates of Jinzhong County, but each gate could be divided into two cavalry companies and more than 200 cavalrymen, so the advantage of the troops lies in the National Salvation Army.

The Japanese cavalry were not unaware of this matter, but they were too confident.

In their eyes, training a qualified cavalry is much more difficult than that of infantry.

Many soldiers in the National Cavalry Battalion were recruits who had just replenished their troops, and their combat effectiveness must be very poor.

When fighting such an opponent, the Japanese cavalry squadron is confident of killing five times its enemies, not to mention that the opponent's troops are only twice as powerful as himself.

Soon the Japanese cavalry will pay a heavy price for their stupidity and arrogance.

Because the National Salvation Army knew how difficult it was to train a qualified cavalry unit since the formation of a cavalry unit, the training of the cavalry unit always follows the cavalry war horses such as cavalry soldiers, rather than war horses and others.

Each infantry garrison has its own recruit company, and the main force of the regiment also has its own recruit battalion, which is usually trained like the main force.

Once the main force suffers large-scale losses on the battlefield, the recruits can immediately replenish the troops and enter the battle.

The cavalry troops also have their own supplementary troops, but because the number of war horses is limited, they can only ensure that five cavalry can divide one war horse and train in rotation.

Although their combat effectiveness is not as good as the main force, they can at least run wildly and rush on the horse.

Although the cavalry troops suffered heavy casualties in the last bloody battle, all the elite veterans survived.

Under their leadership, these cavalry supplemented soldiers quickly formed combat power.

Although it is not as good as a veteran, it is no problem to rush to the basic battlefield.

Moreover, for the cavalry units of the National Salvation Army, cavalry charges are just their last choice on the battlefield. They will definitely not fight such a life-threatening battle with the Japanese unless they have to.

Last time against the Japanese Cavalry Regiment, Tao Yongsheng witnessed the huge role of submachine guns in the cavalry assault.

After returning to the defense zone, he found Zhou Cheng as soon as possible, hoping that the regiment headquarters would equip the cavalry with more submachine guns.

Zhou Cheng agreed that in the newly formed cavalry unit, each cavalry company was equipped with twelve submachine guns and three light machine guns.

When hedging with the Japanese, these light machine guns and submachine guns lined up in a row and fired forward.

If there were not many Japanese cavalry rushing towards him, the Japanese might not even have a chance to fight with the National Savior Army and were directly wiped out by a rain of bullets.

If there are many Japanese cavalry attacking head-on, the dense firepower can also severely damage them. Before the two sides fight, they will severely hit their morale and morale...

Now the Japanese army dispatched a cavalry squadron to fight against the two cavalry companies of the National Savior Army. That would definitely be a gun hitting the gun of the National Savior Army and killing him for nothing...

"Kill and give it to..." The two cavalrymen soon met on the battlefield. The Japanese squadron leader decided not to give the national rescue army a chance to breathe, and led the troops to kill them directly.

He felt that the National Salvation Army had just rushed for 10 or 20 kilometers, and the troops must be very tired. Now leading the troops to launch an assault can definitely catch them off guard.

"The troops are unfolding immediately and kill the Japanese cavalry in front!" The cavalry company commander led by the National Salvation Army also discovered the Japanese, holding a submachine gun while giving orders, while manipulating war horses to fight back at the Japanese.

More than 200 cavalry gathered on the highway spread out quickly, forming a half-encirclement during the assault, rushing towards the Japanese, as if they were about to swallow the Japanese in one go.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese squadron leader was not worried at all, but was particularly excited.

He is a veteran who has been in battle for a long time and is particularly good at cavalry combat.

Fast assault is the greatest advantage of cavalry on the battlefield, so when cavalry charge, they usually concentrate their forces to attack a point, just like a sharp blade, penetrate the enemy's defense line, tear a hole, and then expand the results of the battle.

He is now using this kind of commando, intending to tear the opponent in half at one attack, disrupt them, and then split his troops and strangle them.

The opponent was obviously not very proficient in cavalry combat, and he actually used cavalry as infantry and rushed towards him in a half-encircle.

If the opponents are gathered together and rely on their superiority of troops, it will be difficult for them to tear them in half in one attack.

Now they are rushing towards themselves in a half-encirclement, and it will definitely be much easier when they attack.

Thinking of this, the squadron leader seemed to see the scene where the national rescue army on the opposite side was defeated by him in one attack, and a smile flashed out of the corner of his mouth.

He immediately raised his saber and shouted as excitedly as if he had taken stimulants: "Warriors, the National Rescue Army on the opposite side is too stupid and does not understand cavalry at all. This is an excellent fighter plane given to us by Master Amaterasu!"

"Everyone rushed up with me, wipe them out, kill them!"

The assault speed of the two cavalry became faster and faster, and the distance between seven or eight hundred meters was more than two hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Both sides raised their rifles at the same time, pulled the trigger, and prepared to rub the opponent's sharpness with bullets before the fight.

The Japanese army was well-trained and had good marksmanship on horseback.

The national-savior army's shooting skills were not as good as the Japanese, but the troops were nearly twice as powerful.

One of them grew and the other was declining. In less than five seconds, the firepower attacked, and both sides actually tied and fell down more than a dozen cavalrymen.

The cavalry who was killed was stepped into meat paste by the cavalry behind him as soon as they landed on the ground, causing no trouble. The cavalry on both sides continued to assault forward.

Soon the distance between the two sides was shortened to seventy or eighty meters.

At this time, the Japanese had already replaced the rifle in their hand with a sabre and were preparing to launch a final assault on the National Salvation Army.

Most of the cavalrymen of the National Salvation Army also replaced their rifles with sabers, but the more than thirty soldiers who rushed to the front of the team did not change them.

Stand on the stirrups with both feet to keep your body balanced as much as possible, holding the reins of the war horse in one hand and the submachine gun in the other, preparing to hold the fire as soon as the Japanese army entered the range.

The machine gunner is even more exaggerated. He doesn't even hold the reins of the war horse, but directly controls the war horse with his feet and legs, freeing up his hands to control the light machine gun.

Under the cover of night, the Japanese army could only see the blurred figures of the cavalry of the National Salvation Army, and could not see the submachine guns they held in their hands and the light machine guns they held in their arms. They thought that the National Salvation Army was like themselves, holding a saber in their hands and preparing to fight in close combat.

When the two sides were still fifty meters away, the submachine gun and light machine gun opened fire.

Because the National Salvation Army launched an attack on the Japanese army in a semi-encirclement, more than 20 light machine guns and six light machine guns were all scattered in the first two rows of the attacking troops. As soon as they opened fire, the dense rain of bullets also flew over to the Japanese army in a semi-encirclement.

The Japanese army rushing to the front of the team were directly attacked by the National Salvation Army on three sides. As soon as the gunshot sounded, they were swept to the ground in groups, and a large number of war horses were killed and fell to the ground with the cavalry on the horse's back.

If the cavalry is just falling off the horse, the war horses behind can easily cross the corpse, or continue to assault forward while stepping on the corpse.

The war horses are no longer possible. The huge body blocks the follow-up cavalry like a roadblock. It is dark and if you are not careful, you will be tripped and overturned.

So the Japanese cavalry behind had to slow down the assault speed. As soon as the speed slowed down, the country-saving military used submachine guns and light machine guns to kill Japanese soldiers for longer time, and the casualties of Japanese cavalry became increasingly serious.

When the gunfire on the battlefield stopped, there were less than forty cavalry left in a squadron, and the remaining sixty or seventy cavalry all fell into two fire attacks by the National Salvation Army.

The arrogant Japanese squadron leader was not spared, and was hit by three submachine gun bullets at the same time. He was trampled on by the cavalry behind him...

At this time, the national rescue army had a strength advantage of more than five times that of the Japanese. The two company commanders immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to train troops.

Quickly change the submachine gun in his hand to a saber, and lie forward on the horse's back, killing him straight at the target he is aiming at, yelling while rushing.

"Comrades, kill me and kill the Japanese in front..."

The close fight was clean and perfect, and the two sides ended in less than half a minute from the battle to the end.

Only six of the more than thirty Japanese cavalrymen passed through the national rescue army, and all the remaining cavalry were killed.

The six cavalry were killed so scared that they didn't even have the courage to turn around and disappeared on the battlefield on horseback.

On the west side of the city, Major General Aso could only hear the roaring sound of horse hooves and did not see the scene of the two sides fighting.

After the fire exchange ended, he did not know that the cavalry squadron he had just sent had been wiped out.

He did not receive the bad news until the six surviving cavalry returned to the county town!

"General, we are defeated!"

"The cavalry company operated outside the city with two companies. They were equipped with a large number of light machine guns and submachine guns. Before our troops could finish with them, they were killed and killed by submachine guns and light machine guns..."

"After the end of the assault, there were only six of us left in the cavalry squadron, and the squadron leader was also killed in battle. Please be sure to avenge us!"

"Nani?" Major General Aso did not expect that the cavalry attack would have such a result.

In addition to being shocked, he thought of the cavalry squadrons attacking in the other three directions, and a worried expression flashed quickly on his serious face. Looking at Colonel Hamano, he was very anxious to order: "Contact the cavalry troops in the other three directions immediately and ask them to withdraw back to the county town quickly. Never fight with the cavalry troops of the National Rescue Army."

"Notify all city defense forces to strengthen their vigilance, prevent the national rescue army from siegeing the city and cover the city's internal team to break through."

"I'll give our troops stationed in the city a next order: Let everyone fight on their own and eliminate the remaining national-savior army in the city at all costs."

"The general attack will not wait until dawn. If the National Salvation Army in the city and the National Salvation Army outside the city cooperate with each other and attack a point in front and back, our defense line will easily be torn apart by them, and the remaining National Salvation Army in the city will run away!"

"All artillery units are ready for combat. If there is a National Salvation Army that will attack Jinzhong County, immediately use artillery fire to disperse them!"

When the order to withdraw troops was passed to the east of the city, the two cavalry units were already fighting outside the city, and in the end only one cavalry team was withdrawn.

The two cavalry squadrons in the south and north of the city received a retreat signal at the last moment of the assault and returned to the county town safely.

At 3:30 in the morning, the National Salvation Army began to operate infantry outside Jinzhong City, with more and more troops. There were also troops digging trenches outside the city and building offensive positions.

Seeing this scene, Major General Aso was even more sure that the National Salvation Army wanted to attack him from the front and back to cover the National Salvation Army in the city and break out of the county town.

"Woooooooooooooooo... rumble..."

Amid the harsh whistle, the violent explosion of shells suddenly rang out on the city.

The bounce point was at least fifty meters away from Major General Aso, and he could still feel the rolling heat waves caused by the explosion of the shells sweeping towards him.

Major General Aso was shocked: "Bageya Road, the National Rescue Army has begun to attack the city. Notify our artillery to counterattack immediately! The troops at the head of the city are ready for battle immediately, and no national rescue army is allowed to approach the city wall!"
