The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 716 Commander, Let’s Fight the Cavalry First (First Update)
"Captain..."

Huang Yu interrupted suddenly: "We still have a third way to go."

"The kid who raided the third company is from the Rail Patrol."

"As long as we hit them hard as soon as possible, the Baoding garrison will have no soldiers to attack us."

Kong Jie shook his head: "Little Huang..."

"You have a good idea."

"But don't we have nothing to do with the Japanese Railway Patrol?"

"Three large-scale patrols and a thousand cavalry maneuver along the railway line to reinforce the battlefield at any time."

"The terrain is also more powerful against devils."

"Equipment advantage, firepower advantage, all on the devil's side."

"The troops haven't really helped yet."

"We basically have no chance of winning if we act rashly."

Li Yunlong answered: "The new recruits in the team are training with fighting instead, and they haven't fully formed their combat effectiveness yet."

"It's okay to fight with the wind, but if they really want to fight the devils head-on and fight a big battle, they definitely don't have that strength."

Unmoved, Huang Yu watched Kong Jie and Li Yunlong continue to propose.

"We can start with the little devil's cavalry unit first."

"The cavalry's assault ability on the plains is very strong, and it can face head-on head-on. Its combat effectiveness is no less than that of the little devil's infantry regiment."

"But they have several fatal flaws."

"One is that they are not equipped with heavy weapons, so they can only attack us at close range based on their speed advantage."

"The second is the fear of machine guns..."

"During a frontal assault, as long as we deploy enough light and heavy machine guns to block the way, no amount of cavalry will be able to rush over."

"The third is that they have very high terrain requirements when fighting."

"The flatter the terrain, the easier it is for them to attack."

"The more complex and rugged the terrain, the greater the impact on them, and they can't even raid us on horseback."

"As long as we fight tit for tat, choose the battlefield and the timing of the firefight, use a large number of light and heavy machine guns in the battle, and give full play to our firepower advantage, we will definitely kill them."

Li Yunlong was the first to be moved.

He is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. Seeing Huang Yu's words are swearing, he starts to analyze as soon as his mind turns.

"Our three regiments are equipped with more than forty heavy machine guns."

"Frontally spread out and fire at the devil cavalry."

"It will definitely be no problem to kill three or four hundred people."

"Light machine guns are less powerful than heavy machine guns and have a shorter range."

"But the victory lies in the large number, killing two or three hundred cavalry."

"There are at most 400 of the thousand cavalry sent by Baoding."

"Get rid of them, and the devil cavalry will be blocked by us in front of the position."

"As long as the two sides do not fight hand-to-hand, their powerful assault capabilities will not be able to be used, and we will win."

Kong Jie frowned and analyzed: "Four hundred cavalry is not a small number."

"If we let them rush into our position, the two thousand troops will not be an opponent."

Unmoved, Huang Yu interjected again, confidently saying, "Leader, I have a way to deal with them."

Li Yunlong's eyes widened quickly, staring at Huang Yu and asking: "What can I do..."

"My only regiment lacks everything except a cavalry battalion."

"If you can really kill a thousand cavalrymen and capture hundreds of horses, help Lao Tzu build a cavalry barracks."

"I will listen to you in the battle to encircle and wipe out the devil cavalry."

"I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"The equipment, ammunition, and strength of the only regiment are all at your disposal."

"I, Li Yunlong, never say anything else."

If this is another base area, Kong Jie has countless ways to eat up the thousand cavalry.

But this is an enemy-occupied area, and the means he can use are very limited, and he is even a little restrained, which is why a thousand cavalrymen were arrogant last night.

If Huang Yu really has a way, the crisis facing the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will be broken.Look at him and ask seriously.

"Little Huang, do you really have a way to kill the little devil's cavalry?"

"Guarantee that they will come and go..." Huang Yu said bluntly without a word of unnecessary nonsense.

…………

"Boom boom boom..."

A few cannons suddenly sounded in the Tan Wan stronghold, the alarm bell rang loudly, and the stronghold became lively at the same time.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers rushed out of the barracks in disheveled clothes, and rushed to the position with weapons and ammunition.

The stronghold command got up from the bed and started calling for help.

The shells that exploded just now were mountain artillery shells.

The enemy has even brought heavy weapons to attack, and the stronghold under their feet is definitely bound to be won.

If it was too late to ask for help, and the reinforcements came late, his life would be lost.

On the railway 25 kilometers away, the former cavalry was slowly advancing along the railway line.

Doing so can maintain the physical strength of the war horses. In case of war, they don't need to rest and can immediately participate in the battle.

"Sir..."

The telegraph operator caught up with the captain on horseback, as if seeing a pile of gold ingots, looking forward to the report.

"The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has appeared."

"They are attacking the Tanwan stronghold, about 25 kilometers away from us."

"The cavalry advance quickly, and they can reach the battlefield in four to ten minutes at most, and launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army."

"The brigade headquarters told us to kill them immediately."

"To wipe out the invading enemy."

"If the number of enemies is too large to be wiped out, be sure to hold them back."

"The nearest patrol has already set off, and it will take at most an hour and a half to reach the battlefield."

The captain's reaction was even more exaggerated than that of the radio operator, and he immediately drew out his command knife and said excitedly.

"Soldiers, the Eighth Route Army has sent us heads."

"The troops turned around immediately, reinforced the Tanwan stronghold, and wiped out all the Eighth Route Army there."

"Kill it..."

…………

On the pipeline about five kilometers away from the Tanwan stronghold, more than 1000 Eighth Route Army soldiers were scattered in an area between 50 and 150 meters in front of the formation, wielding engineer shovels, and struggling to dig a pit for tripping horses.

One foot in diameter and half a meter deep, dig one every one or two meters.

When the cavalry charged quickly, once a horse's hoof stepped in, the huge inertia would instantly cause the horse to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

If you are unlucky, the horse that stepped into the stumbling pit may have its legs broken and never stand up...

In either case, the cavalry who stepped into the horse trap would lose their combat effectiveness in a short time.

It not only weakened the cavalry's attack ability, but also consumed a lot of troops, and blocked a roadblock in front of the follow-up cavalry. When attacking, they had to slow down to avoid these roadblocks, and couldn't advance at a high speed like other battlefields.

The slower the cavalry assault speed, the longer the attack time will naturally be, and the blocking troops will have a longer time to attack, shoot more bullets, and eliminate more cavalry...

Multi-tasking...

On the blocking position behind the tripping pit, hundreds of soldiers are building the blocking position.

Li Yunlong was not idle either, holding an engineer shovel and filling the bag with soil.

After filling a bag, he quickly piled him to the edge of the trench.

Time is limited, and it is definitely too late to dig a trench where people can hide.

We can only dig trenches while building bunkers with sandbags.

After the battle starts, the blocking forces can have a hiding place.

"Sandbags have to be piled up one layer more...you have to hide half of your body behind the bunker, and you can only show half of your head to fight." Li Yunlong patted the bunker around him and ordered.

Then he returned the shovel to his subordinates and walked quickly to a heavy machine gun position.

"Your heavy machine guns should be placed a little higher..."

"Fireing from above can kill a few more little devils."
