I am helping

Chapter 85 The advantage is in me!

Li Yunlong led the cavalry company to the road to intercept the Japanese cavalry.

In less than half an hour, the ambush site was selected.

An open area about 100 meters wide is convenient for cavalry to deploy.

On both sides of the road are soil slopes about two meters high.

Li Yunlong said to Sun Desheng: "Sun Desheng, I will give you the command of this battle, and even I will obey your command."

"Regimental Commander." Sun De's face turned bitter, "You are not embarrassing me, how dare I command you?"

"What are you talking about, boy?" Li Yunlong glared, "I have never been a cavalryman before, so how do I know how to command cavalry to fight?"

Although Li Yunlong had never served in the cavalry, he had been the commander of the regiment for many years and often rode horses. In terms of riding skills, he was better than most soldiers in the cavalry company.

Of course, there is no comparison with a veteran who has been in the cavalry for ten years like Sun Desheng.

Not only is his riding skills incomparable to Sun Desheng's, but even commanding cavalry in battle is not Li Yunlong's forte.

Beat the gong to sell sugar, each doing a line.

In terms of infantry tactical command ability, five Sun Desheng can't keep up with Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong then asked: "Tell me, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

Sun Desheng carefully checked the terrain and said.

"Regimental Commander, the terrain here is not considered dangerous, and the devil cavalry probably won't be able to scout."

"I'm going to put 60 cavalry in front to attract the attention of devil cavalry."

"The advantage of this is that the devils will definitely choose to fight us when they see that we only have 60 cavalry and they have more cavalry than us."

"Eight light machine guns are placed four on each side, forming crossfire from the side."

"The remaining 30 or so cavalry were placed behind the slope over there to hide their heads. After the cavalry started to confront the cavalry from the front, they rushed out from the rear wing and attacked from both sides to wipe out the devils."

Li Yunlong listened to Sun Desheng's plan, carefully observed the terrain, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

So he nodded and said: "The key to this battle is whether the light machine guns on both sides can kill half of the devil cavalry, so the machine gunners ambushing on both sides must be well hidden, and they must not show their flaws. Devil, don't shoot Lao Tzu's army horses to death."

"This battle is the first since the formation of our new cavalry company."

"You kid must play well and wipe out this group of devil cavalry. When I go back, I will give credit to your cavalry company."

"Yes!" Seeing that the regiment leader agreed to his battle plan, Sun Desheng was slightly happy, and turned around to make the battle plan.

All the cavalrymen are Li Yunlong's treasures. Right now there are 103 cavalry companies in total. Each cavalryman is equipped with Yunlong Saber and Type 100 infantry guns, and they carry [-] rounds of rifle ammunition when they go out.

In addition, it is also equipped with 8 Czech-style light machine guns, and each machine gunner carries 500 rounds of machine gun ammunition.

In the future, Li Yunlong also plans to expand the cavalry company into a cavalry battalion, under the jurisdiction of the machine gun company and the mortar platoon.

At that time, the firepower of the cavalry battalion will far exceed that of the Japanese cavalry squadron.

Sun Desheng called three platoon leaders, and quickly issued the combat deployment order.

The formation of cavalry is different from that of infantry. Generally, as long as there are more than 600 cavalry, it can be regarded as a cavalry regiment.

More than 1200 cavalry is considered a cavalry brigade, and more than 2000 cavalry can be called a cavalry division.

Although the Japanese cavalry regiment usually only has more than 1 cavalry, it can easily crush a brigade from the front in the face of the Chinese army with sparse firepower.

The horses of the cavalry are not ordinary horses used for transportation in the infantry, but war horses.

A horse is a good horse if it is not surprised by artillery fire on the battlefield, but such a horse can only undertake transportation duties on the battlefield.

To become a war horse, the horse first needs to obey the master's orders absolutely, and even charge towards the enemy's artillery fire.

This is also the reason why the brigade commander came to fight Qiufeng immediately when he learned that Li Yunlong had seized 300 horses from a cavalry battalion.

After 3 minutes, Sun Desheng walked up to Li Yunlong and said: "Report to the commander, the battle deployment has been issued, please go to the designated ambush site, comrade commander."

"What designated ambush location?" Li Yunlong said, "I want to learn the devil cavalry's sword skills from the front."

Hehe smiled, and Sun Desheng said: "Commander, I'm sorry, the command right for everyone here is in my hands, including you, Commander. You said this yourself."

"The political commissar Zhao has already said that if the commander's order is changed day and night, it will be a kind of exploitation of the commanding authority."

"Leader, you can see how educated Zhao Political Commissar is, and how well he uses words such as changing orders and exploiting."

Li Yunlong glared: "Fart, Commissar Zhao is as educated as I am?"

But after all, it was an order from his own mouth, and Li Yunlong was too embarrassed to change his words at this time.

Li Yunlong asked: "Where is my ambush?"

Sun Desheng replied: "I lead 60 cavalry to attract the devils from the front, and you, commander, lead 30 cavalry to outflank from the rear."

Li Yunlong held the Yunlong knife and walked towards the previously agreed slope.

The soldiers were already getting ready behind the slope, seeing the head of the regiment coming to fight side by side with him, all of them cheered up.

These cavalry are veterans selected by Sun Desheng from each battalion who can ride horses. After more than two months of special training by Sun Desheng, they have now become real cavalry.

Li Yunlong was a restless master. While waiting for the devil cavalry, he told several battle stories about himself during the Red Army period, which attracted the soldiers to applaud in low voices.

The atmosphere of the impending battle also seemed less tense.

Two hours flew by.

Seeing the sun is westward.

The scout cavalry lookout post on the hillside ahead finally gave the signal, and the devil cavalry came.

After about 3 minutes, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded.

A group of Japanese cavalry in yellow jerseys appeared on the horizon of the highway, carrying Type [-] infantry rifles and Type [-] cavalry swords on their waists.

The cavalry wing generally does not have a cavalry brigade, but is composed of cavalry squadrons, cavalry artillery squadrons and machine gun squadrons.

The leader was Major Takeshima Suda, the commander of the second squadron of the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment.

Although Wu Island did not bring all the cavalry of the second squadron, the 80 or so elite cavalry are still a force that should not be underestimated.

As Sun Desheng expected.

Takeshima Suda came to visit the Kotei base this time. The new commander of the Kotei base, Captain Fujiko Ichiro, and Takeshima Major are friends from the same hometown. They are both from Hiroshima.

The cavalry of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, including Suda Takeshima, are all bloodthirsty guys. They often use Chinese civilians and prisoners of war for hacking and shooting training.

They put the captured prisoners of war and ordinary people on the open ground to untie the ropes, and then the cavalry chased after them, chopped with sabers and shot with rifles.

"Stop advancing!" Suddenly, Takeshima Suda, who was at the forefront, noticed that there were eight cavalrymen in front of him, and then he stretched his hand upwards and clenched his fist tightly, making a gesture to stop advancing.

The more than 80 riders who followed behind tightened their reins at the same time, and the big oriental horse under his crotch neighed.

In a blink of an eye, more than 80 Japanese cavalry stopped abruptly, and quickly advanced to stationary movement, which only took a few seconds.

Just this is enough to show that this Japanese cavalry is a well-trained elite.

Takeshima Suda looked at 300 meters away, there were only about 60 Eighth Route Cavalrymen holding sabers and waiting in battle, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a killing intent pervaded instantly.

80 vs 60, the advantage is mine.
