my bright sword career

399 cavalry charge
"Captain, Commander Ding's call!"

Just as Li Yunlong was cursing, a communications soldier with a walkie-talkie trotted to his side and handed over the microphone.

After fighting side by side with Gao Hongming for so long, the biggest achievement for both Li Yunlong and Ding Wei is that their understanding of communication has been greatly improved.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army basically relied on walking for transportation and roaring for communication. Radio stations were only available in brigade-level units, not regimental-level units. The only way to convey orders was to rely on communication soldiers.

Since the appearance of Gao Hongming, especially the Independent Regiment, New First Regiment, and New Second Regiment, which are closely related to Gao Hongming, have not only been equipped with radio stations, but even the SCR-300 walkie-talkie has been equipped to the company level, and the communication conditions can be said to be ready. Earth-shaking changes.

Let's put it this way, the current team of Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei, as long as they are willing, can understand and command a company-level unit at any time, which was unimaginable before.

"Old Li!" Ding Wei's voice came from the microphone, "The little devil seems to have saved his hand. I guess this cavalry regiment should have arrived last night and hid it in order to attack us. The sudden attack caught us by surprise, can you hold on there? If not, I will immediately send a battalion to reinforce you."

"Old Ding, who are you looking down on?" Li Yunlong became angry when he heard it, "I just joined the army when I was the deputy squad leader, and I taught you how to shoot, how dare you look down on me now?

You wait, isn't it just a cavalry regiment, I let him go around too much. "

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong put down the phone with a snap, connected to another channel, and said loudly: "Zhang Dabiao, listen to me, no matter what method you use, I must block the little devil's cavalry for me. Don't let them break through your positions.

Once you can't hold it, our blocking mission will be dangerous, do you understand? "

"Regiment leader, don't worry. I, Zhang Dabiao, can't guarantee anything else. The only thing I can guarantee is that as long as I'm still alive, I won't let a ghost cavalry pass!" Zhang Dabiao's resolute voice came from the microphone.

A large group of mighty Japanese cavalry, wielding sabers shining coldly in the sun, charged with heavy 44-style cavalry on their backs.

Their horse team is orderly and well-defined, with eight men and eight riders in each line, charging mightily in the noisy sky and dust, hundreds of war horses galloping freely, and hundreds of sabers waving alternately.

The charging speed of the cavalry was very fast. When the Japanese cavalry brandished their sabers as before and made a shocking scream, Zhang Dabiao saw the cavalry approaching like a wave, and found that he was holding a rifle. Beads of sweat oozed from the palm of my hand at some point.

"Crack!"

The machine gunner in the machine gun fortification trembled because of the dust that fell on his body from the shelling, and pulled back the bolt of the Type [-] heavy machine gun, and the ammunition man beside him immediately inserted the spring plate into the card slot and fired There was a clicking sound.

The machine gunner held his breath with a dignified expression, looking nervously at the Japanese cavalry rushing hundreds of meters away like waves. As the head of the regiment who first dealt with Gao Hongming, Li Yunlong received the most care on weekdays.

Take Zhang Dabiao as an example. As the most elite first battalion of the Independence Regiment, it has nine 27-type heavy machine guns and [-] Czech-style light machine guns. This kind of firepower configuration is equivalent to two squadrons of the Japanese army.

"beat!"

When the Japanese cavalry approached, with Zhang Dabiao's loud shout, the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and pistols on the position immediately rang out, and the crossfire formed by the dense bullets instantly poured into the wave-like Japanese cavalry charge formation. Harvesting the lives of these Japanese cavalry.

Many cavalry fell down with their horses and men after being hit by bullets, but these obviously could not stop the Japanese army from charging. Those cavalry jumped over the obstacles in front of them and continued their charge.

"Hurry up...mortars...what are the grenade launchers doing? Hurry up and shoot out all the shells for me, I can't do it!"

Li Yunlong, who was behind, watched the cavalry rushing towards the first battalion like a tide, and he was also very anxious. The cavalry was different from the infantry, and the rhythm of charging was very fast. Once the position was breached, it would only take a few minutes.

"Whizzing……"

Located behind the second line of defense, twelve [-]-point mortars fired shells non-stop. Wang Tiezhu, who had been promoted to the commander of the artillery company, directed the gunners to continuously put the shells into the barrels. The shells were fired continuously, and the flying shrapnel and shock waves kept spreading among the Japanese cavalry. From time to time, Japanese cavalry fell from their horses.

Although the artillery company of the independent regiment continued to provide fire support for the first battalion, the Japanese army was not idle.

位于后方的4门41式75毫米骑炮和6门90式迫击炮以及十多挺11年式机枪也在朝着独立团阵地倾斜着炮火和子弹。

Although this kind of firepower cannot be compared with that of the infantry wing, it still suppresses the firepower of the independent regiment to a certain extent.

The shells that fell from time to time ravaged the position of the first battalion, especially when the shells of the Type 41 cavalry guns that seemed a little sharp and whistling fell, accompanied by loud explosions, countless cast iron fragments, and swishing bullets When passing over the ground of the first battalion, it would always bring a lot of casualties to the soldiers of the first battalion who were hiding in the foxholes and desperately aiming and shooting, and the already somewhat weak defensive firepower was suddenly weakened.

"Onboard!"

Although with the development of hot weapons, the cavalry has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, many high-ranking Japanese soldiers still insist on being optimistic about the cavalry, and equipped each division with a cavalry regiment.

Under the cover of all kinds of firepower in the rear, the Japanese cavalry stubbornly used their own flesh and blood to break through the bloody road. As they got closer and closer to the defense line of the Independence Regiment, these Japanese cavalry still shouted loudly. Or waving the 44-style cavalry gun in his hand, shooting at the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the front position, and at the same time manipulating the horse to rush towards the first battalion position that is close at hand.

"Go on the bayonet!"

When the Japanese cavalry was getting closer, Zhang Dabiao helplessly called out the order that a commander was most unwilling to give. At this time, when the Japanese artillery fire behind finally stopped shelling, the Japanese cavalry was already very close at hand. away.

"Brothers, behind us is the retreating large army. We must not let the little devils pass by and fight with them!" When the Japanese cavalry was about to break into the defense line of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao jumped out of the foxhole with a roar, The shell gun rushed up, and raised his hand to shoot at the approaching Japanese cavalry.
