Chapter 60 The Horse Trap and the Horse Trap

Liu Xiu first thought that the way to deal with the cavalry was to trap the cavalry. After all, as long as some horse traps were dug on the ground, the size of a bowl and 30 to 40 centimeters deep, the cavalry would definitely suffer when they charge.

However, after Liu Xiu thought carefully and recalled the plot of the sword again, he realized that it was difficult to kill the Japs' cavalry unit in a trap.

The first point is that there is no way to determine where the Japs' cavalry unit will attack. You must know that as the rate of fire of rifles becomes higher and higher, especially the emergence of the Maxim heavy machine gun, it means that the cavalry will charge on a large scale. It has become a matter of death.

Not to mention anything else, as long as ten Maxim heavy machine guns are placed on the position, with the Maxim machine gun's firing rate of 600 rounds per minute and the unlimited supply of bullets, let alone a thousand little devils' cavalry, it will be enough. Wan Ye will still suffer.

Of course, unless it is a heavy armored cavalry, it may be useful to install bulletproof inserts on the whole body or front including the mount!
  Precisely because the cavalry cannot fight the main battle, although the Little Devils have formed cavalry, they still use the cavalry as an auxiliary unit, such as to chase the enemy. In the story of Bright Sword, the independent regiment first gathers together to break through the Little Devils' encirclement. After that, they dispersed and escaped.

After they dispersed and escaped, they were naturally pursued by the fast cavalry. In the original plot, the cavalry that originally pursued the independent regiments were led by Captain Kuroshima Morita himself, but they were attracted away by Sun Desheng. That's why Li Yunlong was not pursued by the cavalry.

Therefore, when using a horse trap, especially when you are escaping and digging a horse trap at the same time, you don't have that time at all. After all, the little devil's cavalry will not let you have this time to dig a horse trap.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another way, and that is fishing, which is to find a way to attract the little devil's cavalry unit and let them step into the trap.

The best way is to let Sun Desheng's cavalry company attract them, but this involves another problem, that is, how to avoid being trapped in a horse trap. Not Sun Desheng's cavalry company, which passed through first, but the cavalry unit of the Little Japanese that was chasing behind. trapped.

Liu Xiu didn't come up with a solution to this problem. After all, horses are not humans. They can remember the pits dug in advance. What's more, even humans can't pay attention to their feet when running at top speed!
  Therefore, the biggest result of using the horse trap is that the little devil did not fall into it but trapped the cavalry company that was used as bait. Therefore, it is more difficult to use the bait method to make the cavalry company enter the horse trap.

But the good thing is that Liu Xiu thought about the scene where he was knocked down by Shanmao, the second boss of Heiyun Village, using a horse rope to trip him and his horse!
  You must know that stumbling on a horse rope is not like being trapped in a horse trap. This kind of passive trap, the horse trap, can be triggered or not triggered at the decision of the person.

For example, when the decoy is passed by the chasing cavalry company, the tripping rope does not have to be pulled, so the cavalry company's running route is not affected at all. After all the cavalry companies pass, the tripping rope can be pulled up. The pulled up tripping rope is just enough for the little devil. Liu's cavalry drank a pot.

Of course, some cavalrymen with excellent riding skills and quick reactions may directly control the horse to jump and directly cross the stumbling rope, just like the 110-meter hurdle.

Liu Xiu was not worried about this. After all, if he could dodge past the first grade of junior high school, he could still dodge past the fifteenth grade. One stumbling rope was easy to dodge, but how could he still dodge three or four stumbling ropes?
  Just in case, Liu Xiu planned to use steel wire as the material for the rope. After all, when he attacked the Japs' bunker some time ago, in order to prevent the Japs from rebuilding it again, Liu Xiu removed all the surrounding steel wire mesh. Taken away.

So now Liu Xiu has a lot of steel wire in his hands, and the tripping rope made of steel wire has another advantage, that is, it is not easy to cut. After all, in addition to the carbine, the little devil cavalry also has a cavalry sword. It may not be possible to cut the steel wire, but it is still easy to cut the trip rope made of hemp rope. Therefore, using steel wire as a trip rope is naturally much safer. After deciding what kind of trap to use to ambush the Little Japanese cavalry, another problem faced Liu Xiu, that is, how to let Sun Desheng's cavalry company capture the Little Japanese cavalry company. They were all attracted, after all, not all of them were attracted in the original plot.

You must know that Sun Desheng's cavalry company only has about 120 people, while the underworld Morita's cavalry regiment has more than 1,400 cavalrymen! The comparison of the number of people between the two has reached more than ten times.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Kuroshima Morita to waste all his troops in pursuit, but Liu Xiu has to let Kuroshima Morita chase all the cavalry so that he can catch them all at once!

Only then can we break through the enemy's encirclement and leave safely, instead of being chased away by the enemy's cavalry!

So how to get Kuroshima Morita, the little devil's cavalry captain, to send all his cavalry to pursue Sun Desheng's cavalry company became a new problem before Liu Xiu.

After much deliberation, Liu Xiucai came up with a way that he didn't know whether it would be successful, and this way was to increase the firepower of Sun Desheng's cavalry company.

After all, according to Liu Xiu's speculation, the reason why Kuroshima Morita did not send all the troops was because he felt that Sun Desheng's cavalry company was not a big threat due to its small number. Therefore, what Liu Xiu had to do was to increase the threat of Sun Desheng's cavalry company.

The best way to increase the threat is to add firepower to Sun Desheng's cavalry company.

As for how to increase firepower, that's very simple. For example, replacing the horse rifles in Sun Desheng's cavalry company with light machine guns. Liu Xiu did the math and found that his second battalion developed fairly well under his leadership. On average, Each platoon can already be assigned two light machine guns.

Even the first company that Liu Xiu used as the main company has reached one light machine gun and one grenade launcher per squad. That is, a platoon has three light machine guns and three grenade launchers. This configuration is It has already exceeded the firepower of a squad of Japs. After all, some squads of Japs can't get grenades.

And Liu Xiu did the math. His second battalion now had twenty-five light machine guns. After thinking about it, Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and decided directly that if Li Yunlong agreed to implement the bait plan, Liu Xiu directly lent 20 of their 2nd Battalion's 25 light machine guns to the cavalry company.

When Kuroshima Morita, the commander of the cavalry regiment, saw that a small cavalry company actually had twenty light machine guns, he wondered if he dared to shoot only one brigade of cavalry in pursuit!
  And Liu Xiu had thought through the entire plan to destroy the Japs' cavalry regiment. After all the key details had been thought out, he found that it was already late at night.

Liu Xiu rubbed his slightly dizzy brain and realized that it was not that easy to be a handsome man who could strategize and win thousands of miles away. Liu Xiu had heard about it before he traveled through time. During the war to resist rice and help Korea, which commander was... I often stay up all night for several nights to formulate battle plans!
