The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 346 Small-scale Cavalry Tactics

Then, Shen Quan did what he said, and he led the soldiers to stay temporarily to cover the retreat of the [-]st Regiment after the breakup of the [-]st Regiment.

Lu Duoxian left with thousands of thanks.

Looking at the back of Lu Duoxian and his party fleeing in a panic, Sun Desheng couldn't help cursing: "These traitors, if we hadn't arrived in time, we would have been designated as lackeys of the devil. I really want to give them a shot, and just kill them here."

Shen Quan said: "Old Sun, calm down, these guys will clean up sooner or later, but it's not the time yet, if our side really clashes with these stubborn troops, the little devils should be happy."

A platoon leader asked, "Are we really so foolish to stay here and end the marriage for these bastards?"

"Didn't we agree to take other people's equipment and help out by the way!" Shen Quan laughed.

A long line said: "Battalion Commander, it's not that I speak badly. If we don't snatch the equipment these stubborn soldiers have, the devils will catch up and be snatched away by the devils."

"It's cheap, little devil, why not leave it to us to fight against Japan!"

"That's right, these recalcitrant troops, we'll be fine if we don't destroy them, and we're going to kill them for them?" Sun Desheng said.

Shen Quan said happily: "After all, our Eighth Route Army is a unit of benevolence and righteousness. In this way, we can buy them 10 minutes. 10 minutes should be enough for them to run a long distance, right? After 10 minutes, we will immediately withdraw to the war horse area and leave on horseback. "

After Shen Quan finished speaking, the cadres froze for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Now everyone knows how much the Second Battalion Commander has suffered.

In 10 minutes, it would be nice for these defeated stubborn troops to run three miles.

As soon as 10 minutes are up, everyone gets on their horses, and it won't be long before they can pass the fleeing stubborn army.

At that time, these stubborn troops will have to be left behind and let the little devils chase and kill them.

Seeing the cadres looking at each other, Shen Quan said solemnly:

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and prepare for the battle. In 10 minutes, we are righteous enough."

"When the battle starts, the little devils will probably regard us as the fleeing [-] regiment. The devils who chased us first will be caught off guard, and we will definitely be caught off guard."

"I've done the math. In 10 minutes, if the devil's main force can't get to this place, we can evacuate smoothly."

……

Everything was as Shen Quan speculated.

The devils and puppet soldiers who chased out from the north gate of Taiyuan City knew exactly what the [-]st Regiment was.

To put it bluntly, it's just a mob.

During the pursuit, the devils and puppet troops pressed the [-] regiment all the way.

Therefore, the devil's vanguard chased fiercely, and did not even wait for the follow-up main force to join up.

The first to catch up was only a small group of devils and a platoon of puppet soldiers.

Shen Quan hid on the high slope and observed the situation of the Japanese puppet army with binoculars. When he saw the devil squad and puppet army chasing ahead, Shen Quan's heart moved.

"This little devil is really rampant. Dozens of people dare to chase hundreds of people. It seems that they haven't stumbled. We will take care of this devil."

"Resolve the battle within 10 minutes, allow 3 minutes to clean up the battlefield, and then quickly evacuate according to the pre-planned time."

"I brought a frontal ambush, but after the battle starts, once our combat power is exposed, the devils will definitely retreat. We can't cut off the devils' retreat, and we can't wipe out the devils."

"In this way, Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, each of you will lead a cavalry unit, and use the maneuverability of the horses to circle around from both sides, take advantage of the devil's approach to the foot of the mountain, and completely cut off the devil's retreat."

"Let's fight a small-scale encirclement and annihilation battle."

"Let the little devil know how powerful our cavalry tactics are."

The tactical command ability of the second battalion commander Shen Quan is obvious to all the cadres of the whole regiment.

Even the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, once praised Shen Quan at the military meeting, saying that the second battalion commander of the entire independent regiment had the most ghost ideas.

At this moment, Shen Quan's arrangement was finished.

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian immediately realized that this is definitely the perfect application of small-scale cavalry tactics.

"Yes!"

Sun Desheng, commander of the cavalry company, and Chen Dalian, the instructor, responded in unison.

Each side brought one-third of their troops, about 40 people, first rushed to the area where the horses were tied, took the horses, and then arrived at the designated location. After waiting for the Japanese army to enter the foot of the mountain, they immediately detoured from both sides to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops. retreat.

……

……

Taiyuan City.

Just as the [-]st Regiment was fleeing backwards, Eijiro Takeda, the head of the Japanese Army's secret service in Taiyuan City, who was carried into the city by the devil's adjutant, was pierced by a bullet shot by Wang Xikui, and he couldn't be happier.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, you must persevere, the doctor will be here soon, and he will surely save you!"

Devil's adjutant Kudo Takatoshi looked anxious, and comforted him, tears almost fell down.

While consoling, Kudo couldn't help scolding Lu Duoxian: "Lu Duoxian, this bastard, killed your life, Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, I will kill him with my own hands."

Takeda Eijiro, who had his lung lobe pierced, was already having a hard time speaking.

While Kudou was yelling at him, he tremblingly grabbed the corner of Kudou's clothes with his right hand.

Obviously something to say.

Kudo quickly squatted down and brought his ears closer.

"Your Excellency, Zhongzuo, do you have anything to say to your subordinates?"

"Remember...remember, I still say the same sentence [-]...the May First Regiment cannot... rebel, and there is no... motive for rebelling.

What you see in front of you... may not be the truth, you must make a good... investigation and then... draw conclusions, don't... force the team that could have been... drawn into a hostile situation, Kudo-kun, go to... From now on, the intelligence work in Taiyuan City will be...please..."

Before the last word was uttered, Takeda Eijiro tightly grasped Kudo Takatoshi's right hand, hanging down weakly, and his eyes slowly closed.

Eijiro Takeda, the chief of the Japanese army's secret service agency in Taiyuan City, died.

"Your Majesty the Commander!"

Kudo cried out in grief, and the devil soldiers around him also looked sad.

And after Takeda Eijiro died like this, the work of Taiyuan City's secret service agency will be handed over to Kudo Takatoshi.

The eyes of the soldiers also turned to Kudo.

Kudo was silent for a moment, and then his eyes moved away from Takeda Eijiro, who had died. He stood up slowly, and said loudly:

"The top priority, the first thing, is not to let the intelligence network of Taiyuan City have loopholes because of His Excellency Zhong Zuo's sacrifice, and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The second matter, you have also heard the explanation of His Excellency Zhong Zuo before leaving. Whether this matter is a trick of the [-]st Regiment is yet to be determined. These days, you gentlemen will work harder. The situation was investigated clearly. "

"Hi!"

The devils responded in unison.

Kudo was awakened by Takeda Eijiro's words before his death. He had carefully analyzed the situation this time, and it was indeed full of doubts.

The [-]st Regiment had no reason to take advantage of this surrender and handover ceremony, but secretly betrayed it.

Lu Duoxian, head of the [-]st Regiment, also did not show anything wrong at the time, and even urged Takeda Eijiro to carry out the handover ceremony immediately.

The result suddenly turned against the water?
During the previous battle, Kudo noticed that many soldiers in the [-]st Regiment were a little dazed.

Obviously, it was not expected that there would be a sudden exchange of fire.

And Lu Duoxian, who was in an emergency at the time, seemed to want to explain to Kudo, but was injured by Kudo.

On the side of the [-]st Regiment, the main thing was to kill the head of the agency, Takeda Eijiro, but not many Japanese soldiers were killed.

Then it was defeated. Under the firepower of the Japanese army at the city gate, the [-]st Regiment lost nearly half of its troops.

This kind of stupid thing that hurts others and does not benefit oneself.

Lu Duoxian, the head of the [-]st Regiment, is a cowardly idiot who regards money as his life.

How dare he do that?
Also, the shot that attacked the chief of the agency Takeda Eijiro at the beginning was fired from a far away place with a sniper rifle.

If Lu Duoxian really wanted to take advantage of this surrender and handover ceremony to secretly attack the imperial army, why bother to send a sniper to take the lead in destroying Takeda Eijiro?
The more Kudo thought about it, the more something went wrong.I even felt a little regretful. I should have held back my anger and listened to Lu Duoxian's explanation.
"It's not right. Although there was a firepower conflict between the Imperial Army and the [-]st Regiment this time, there must be something hidden behind this incident. After a few days, I will send someone to hand over to the [-]st Regiment to find out what happened. We must not live up to the last entrustment of the director of the agency."

Kudo said to himself.

……

……

The battle broke out suddenly.

The devil squad led the puppet army and chased the fleeing [-]st Regiment all the way to the foot of the mountain far from the north gate of Taiyuan City, where the [-]st Regiment disappeared.

Then, as soon as the little devil stuck to the foot of the mountain, he was ambushed by Shen Quan and his party who had ambushed ahead of time on the hillside.

"beat--"

The sudden burst of firepower was quite violent. This time, under Kong Jie's instructions, the number of light machine guns and grenades carried by the cavalry company was quite exaggerated.

If there are more than 120 cavalry companies, according to the division method of twelve people into a squad, each squad will have two to three light machine guns, plus one to two grenade launchers.

Such a firepower configuration has completely crushed the Japanese troops at the same level.

In Kong Jie's original words: "The tactics of cavalry charge are no longer suitable for the current war mode, and now the cavalry infantry combat method is more suitable, and the cavalry plays a role of fast movement.

As cavalry infantry, the firepower must be fully equipped. Heavy weapons will affect the speed of the cavalry, but will hinder the mobility.

Raiders should burst out with powerful firepower. "

As soon as the battle started, more than a dozen light machine guns shot down from the top of the hill.

Even if the ghost team that came after them had excellent combat qualities, they were stunned for a while.

The firepower configuration of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

The devil squad that came first had only three light machine guns in their hands.

There are even a dozen enemies ambushing in front of them.

As soon as the battle started, more than 20 devils and puppet soldiers charging in the front row were knocked down within a few breaths.

As soon as the experts make a move, they will know if there is any.

The devil squad leader immediately realized the problem:
The target of the pursuit has definitely changed, this is not the performance that the [-]st regiment should have.

The panicked [-]st Regiment didn't even have time to adjust the rear guard when they fled.

How could it be possible to complete the ambush deployment at the foot of this mountain in such a short period of time?

"Bastard, retreat, retreat!"

After a short firepower exchange, the leader of the devil team quickly issued an order.

The little devil was a little frightened by the beating. The opponent hiding in the ambush at the foot of the mountain was not only powerful in firepower, but also amazing in marksmanship.

He saw the men and horses who were ambushing.

Eighth Route Army!
No wonder the displayed fighting power is completely different.

The Japanese are very consistent in this regard.

Among the combat troops behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is the most terrifying and the most difficult to deal with.

Of course, what we are talking about here is not the Tuba Road, but the regular combat troops of the Eighth Route Army.

In a simple and clear introduction, the Japanese intelligence analysis.

Comparison of China's armed combat power behind enemy lines:
The regular army of the Eighth Route Army > the Central Army > the elite Jinsui Army > the miscellaneous army of the National Army.

For this information on combat effectiveness, the Japanese army integrated factors such as the fighting will, firepower configuration, and logistical support of these Chinese armed forces.

Among them, the Japanese put the fighting will of the armed forces as the first condition for measuring the combat effectiveness of an army.

The Eighth Route Army is naturally far behind other armed forces in this respect.

In the words of some devil officers:

"Under the same circumstances, we need to dispatch more troops to deal with the Eighth Route Army, and we must be ready to fight to the death at any time.

Because expecting to defeat these Eighth Route Army, or making them voluntarily surrender, the difficulty is like letting the soldiers of the empire put down their guns and choose to surrender.

Almost never.

They can even fight to the last man. "

……

The firepower superiority shown by Shen Quan and his party far exceeds the Japanese army's understanding of the firepower configuration of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

No wonder this little devil ordered to retreat without hesitation.

The captain of the devil team made up his mind and retreated temporarily, waiting for the main force of the pursuit to arrive.

But at this moment, the leader of the devil squad who had just retreated from the area at the foot of the mountain, faintly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the rear.

A ghost communication soldier rushed over to report:
"Sir, our retreat has been cut off by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?"

The leader of the devil squad was shocked, and when he picked up the binoculars and looked at the rear, the firepower had already shot from the rear.

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian, taking advantage of the confrontation between the devil and Shen Quan, successfully led the two cavalry to the rear of the Japanese army's approach and cut off the devil's retreat.

Get on the horse and ride, get off the horse and fight.

Sun Desheng and Chen Dalian led the soldiers of the cavalry company and quickly circled behind the devil's buttocks. The soldiers immediately abandoned their horses and transformed into infantry. With the help of a gentle slope where the devil came from, they quickly built fortifications and attacked the Japanese army from the back.

This time, the little devil was directly flanked back and forth.

Noticing that the cavalry's detour was ready, Shen Quan immediately raised the shell gun in his hand, fired two shots at the devil's camp, and rushed out first, shouting:

"Comrades, attack and destroy these little devils!"

"kill--"

A series of battles, from when the devil arrived at the foot of the mountain and was ambushed by Shen Quan and his party, to when the devil was cut off by the cavalry company and was attacked from both sides, until the battle was completely over, it took only about 7 minutes.

Nearly sixty devils, plus more than 40 puppet troops, were all wiped out in the encirclement.

Then, according to Shen Quan's order, the soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield, took the captured firearms and equipment, and evacuated in time with the help of horses.

And just as Shen Quan and his party retreated, not long after, a squadron of devils arrived behind.

But what appeared in front of their eyes were only the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

"Our team seems to have encountered an ambush. Could it be that the [-]st Regiment did it?" Adjutant Guizi speculated.

The leader of the Devil Squadron shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible. Judging from the battle situation, the soldiers suffered from front and rear attacks. You should have noticed that there are horseshoe marks not far away, which means that the ambushing enemy has cavalry in their hands. , and when the [-]st Regiment arrived at the city gate, they didn't even have a single horse, so how could it be them?"

"Who could have done that?"

"I don't know, speed up and catch up and have a look."

"Hi!"
