Rise from the sword

Chapter 376 Cavalry Battalion!attack
Behind Shouxian County, there is a flat land with a gentle slope.

drive···

Colonel Kuroshima brandished his whip and pulled the reins with one hand, chasing after the independent regiment cavalry in front. At this moment, the member of the imperial family of the Great Japanese Empire looked ferocious and excited, and yelled while chasing:

"Destroy the group of only cavalry in front and kill them all."

It can be seen that the captain of the cavalry regiment, who had been guarding the artillery for nearly a month, was suffocated. At this moment, he was screaming desperately, like a wild dog that had run wild, and had completely forgotten his order.

However, after chasing for a while, Colonel Kuroshima suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The distance between the two sides has not decreased, and some have even been pulled apart.

The military horses of the Eighth Route Army in front of him were captured imperial military horses, which he could tell at a glance.Although the horses were of the same type, logically, his horses should have better endurance and faster speed.

It is not easy to raise horses, especially military horses, to maintain their physical strength and endurance.Not only animal husbandry technology is required, but also sufficient feed security is required.

As far as he knew, the base areas of the Eighth Route Army suffered a famine recently, and there was not enough food for the people, so there was still enough food for the horses?
As for the animal husbandry technology for feeding military horses, let alone the technology summed up and researched by the empire for decades, how could the Eighth Route Army from the group of mud-legged farmers be able to compare.

but why····

Seeing the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army in the distance gradually pulling away, Colonel Hei Dao fell into a stupor for a moment.

The load is the same, the same marching posture, and the same terrain, but the cavalry in front can run faster than him, which shows that the opponent's army horse is faster and more durable than him.

But they are all military horses bred by the Imperial Racecourse, why?
Why?
······
"Haha, the little devil can't catch up."

Looking at the devil cavalry who were gradually falling behind, a company commander in the cavalry battalion laughed, his tone extremely smug.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion on the side couldn't help but roll their eyes in their hearts. If this guy wasn't a comrade in arms, they would want to beat him up after hearing this tone.

"hey-hey····"

Sun Desheng in the middle of the team also looked back at the devil cavalry who were gradually falling behind, and smiled, and the smug tone in his voice couldn't be hidden, but the people around him didn't hear it.

With the same breed of army horses, why the devil cavalry lagged behind? Because of confidentiality requirements, the soldiers didn't know why, but he knew the reason.

A military horse is a delicate thing. Although it is fast and has good stamina, it is really troublesome to raise. Not only is it more troublesome to eat than humans, but it also has to take care of its temper and serve it to eat and drink.

It can be said to have raised a father.

If it was in the past, the army horses of the independent regiment would not be able to outrun the devils. Even if the army horses of the same breed, even if the independent regiment did not lack hard feed at all, and even had enough energy to feed the horses with hard feed such as corn, it would be difficult to run, but the gap is still small. not big.

The devil's skill in raising military horses is indeed not comparable to that of the independent regiment, which he has to admit.

Their decades of experience are there.

But since Boss Chen gave that batch of information on breeding big mules, the situation has changed. Through those techniques, Huang Baowang improved the feed ratio for military horses and improved the breeding techniques.

Since then, the condition of the horses in the camp has been getting better day by day, even visible to the naked eye. They have a better temper, are easier to drive, run more vigorously, and the horses are less and less sick.

"It's almost there, get ready."

Sun Desheng suddenly let out a stern voice.

What appeared in front of them was a large flat grassland, flat and open, with a hard ground, which was extremely suitable for horses to run, and it was the most suitable venue for cavalry.

The soldiers looked serious and dignified. They all clenched the reins in their hands, slowed down the horses, and gave the horses a little rest to recover their strength.At the same time, he released the safety of the submachine gun hanging on his chest.

······
"Kill it..."

Colonel Kuroshima also saw the flat land in the distance, and was immediately overjoyed.

After chasing for such a long time, he also figured out the situation. The opposing force has about 300 men and horses, while he has more than 650 men and horses. His force has an absolute advantage.

As long as the distance is shortened, whether it is riding and shooting, or charging and sabering, he believes that his cavalry regiment will definitely win.

Under his order, the devils waved their whips one after another, and the stimulated army horses sped up and exploded. Suddenly, the distance between the two sides was shortened visible to the naked eye.

Sudden····
hiss...

Like the sound of a tearing machine, it came from the flanks, followed by a series of devil cavalrymen turning their backs, like wheat cut down by a sickle, falling down in pieces.

"idiot···"

Colonel Kuroshima followed the voice and looked over, his eyes were tearing apart.

He saw a dozen or so motorcycles parked on the side not far away, each with a machine gun mounted on the sidecar, and they were firing wildly at the cavalry regiment. Because of the cover of a small hill, he did not notice this partner.

And because it was located on the flank of the cavalry battalion, it perfectly played the side fire, and his cavalry wing fell in pieces.

"Spread out, dismount and suppress with machine guns."

Colonel Kuroshima immediately issued an order.

Although his cavalry unit has a fast impact speed, although there are only a dozen motorcycles and machine guns over there, even though it is only 500 meters away.

But he didn't dare to directly order to rush over. He could see very clearly that there were five machine guns in the distance. The rate of fire was obviously different from other machine guns, and the sound was also different. The rate of fire was so fast that it was terrifying.

With this firepower, even if all of his hundreds of people rushed over, even if it only took less than a minute to cover 500 meters, I am afraid that in this 1 minute, a cavalry squadron would be knocked down halfway.

Following the order of Colonel Kuroshima, the devil cavalry spread instantly. Some dismounted and set up machine guns to shoot at the independent regiment's mechanized infantry company.

But in this terrain, the maneuverability of the three jumpers is so good that even riding a horse can't keep up with it. Seeing the devils rushing over, the general-purpose machine gun in the operator's hand of the company commander who commanded the machine rifle company directly hit it with a chain of bullets, suppressing it. The devil's machine gun couldn't lift his head, and then the three jumpers who had not turned off the flame on the seat turned the accelerator, leaving the devil with a chug.

This scene made Colonel Kuroshima so angry that black smoke rose again.

But he hadn't adjusted his formation yet. In front of him, the Cavalry Battalion of the Independent Regiment had already drawn an arc, completed a U-turn, and then charged at the devils under the leadership of Sun Desheng.

"Cavalry battalion, attack."

Sun Desheng held the submachine gun in one hand, the grip was tucked in his shoulder, and the rein in the other hand, and launched an attack towards the Devil Cavalry Regiment.

The rest of the cavalry battalion soldiers also charged at full speed with a submachine gun in one hand and a rein in the other.

Sun Desheng originally planned to contain the devil cavalry unit. After carefully looking at the terrain here, he thought of the firepower here, so he decided to fight and disable this group of devil cavalry.

"Kill it..."

Facing the charge of the cavalry from the Independent Regiment, Colonel Kuroshima naturally did not panic in the slightest. He assembled the team and raised the saber in his hand to prepare for a cavalry charge.

But just approaching 200 meters, when the devil also raised the 43-style cavalry gun in his hand and started shooting, da da da... The cavalry battalion of the independent regiment opened fire, and the pps[-] submachine gun from the system modification in his hand was a series of attacks Bullet rain cover down.

With a single shot, dozens of cavalry fell from the devils, and many army horses were also hit.

In this scene, Colonel Kuroshima was so angry that he almost died on the spot, but he gritted his teeth and prepared to slash a few people with a saber to show off his saber skills that he had practiced for more than ten years.

"spread···"

Sun Desheng sneered, led the cavalry company to disperse, and missed the devil's charge formation. During this period, the submachine gun in his hand continued to shoot, and the devils fell down again.

Saber against each other?

Isn't it nice to punch him with a submachine gun?
····
"idiot···"

Just when Colonel Kuroshima's eyes were about to burst for the third time, on the other side, the machine rifle company had already circled back by virtue of its speed, and the machine gun on the sidebar was once again slamming at the devil cavalry company.

Another series of devils fell down like cutting wheat.

"withdraw···"

Taking a few deep breaths, many people in Hei Dao gave the order to retreat with their eyes wide open.

Although he was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, Hei Dao still had the ability to become the captain of the cavalry regiment and become a captain.

He is well aware of the current situation.

The cavalry regiment has an advantage in strength, but its firepower is at an absolute disadvantage. Machine guns can’t be used on horseback. The gap between cavalry and submachine guns is too big. Moreover, the mobility that cavalry values ​​is more important than motorcycles on this terrain. If you are at a disadvantage, continuing to fight will inevitably end in a big defeat.

At that time, it will be impossible to retreat.

At this time, Colonel Hei Dao suddenly understood why he had been left behind to protect the artillery unit. With this firepower, his cavalry unit rushed to the front line, and he might be gone in one round.

However, although the devils withdrew quickly when they saw the opportunity, the losses were not small. More than one-third of the devils fell in front of the forest.

"10 minutes to clean up the battlefield, let's withdraw."

Seeing the devils retreating, Sun Desheng didn't chase after them. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and after simply collecting the horses, weapons and ammunition left by the devils, he quickly fled.

In this battle, the loss of the cavalry battalion was not small.

After all, the devils had an advantage in numbers, and the accuracy of the [-]-style cavalry was not low when shooting immediately. The quality of the soldiers of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was not good.

······
at the same time.

On the soil road from Shou County to Yangquan, the Devil's No. [-] Heavy Artillery Battalion is advancing with difficulty.

The engines of several crawler tractors vibrated violently, black smoke was coming out of the exhaust pipes, and they dragged the disassembled 240 heavy guns forward.

He wasn't cursing the cannon.

In fact, although this heavy artillery was in service decades ago, its performance is still very satisfactory. The range is not bad, and its power needless to say. No matter how strong the civil bunker is, it can be solved with one shot. The ammunition depot can also collapse, which can meet the combat needs of the imperial army.

He was cursing the locomotive that was pulling.

The 240 heavy artillery cannot be towed in a complete package, so after firing the last shell, he began to organize people to disassemble the cannon, assemble it and prepare for the return journey. After receiving the order to retreat, he quickly set off, but it was already six It was an hour, and I had only walked less than fifteen kilometers.

Along the way, the caterpillar traction vehicle that was being towed had problems from time to time, either the engine failure or the transmission system failure. He was so angry that he cursed and slapped several maintenance workers.

"Baga, trash..."

Continuing to curse, he could only ask the maintenance workers to continue repairing the locomotive. Finally, looking at the dismantled front cover of the locomotive, the major sighed deeply.

As for the disadvantage, it is that this gun is too heavy and needs a special traction locomotive to tow it.

This locomotive has also been used for too long, it is seriously aging, and the parts are insufficient. It is already a miracle to repair it until now, and the military expenditure of the Imperial Army is really scarce, and it is unable to purchase new traction locomotives.

"Damn navy red deer."

The Devil Major, who was holding back his anger, had no choice but to curse the navy red deer in the end.

It's all because the navy red deer took up so much military spending.

"The guards are on alert."

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Major Guizi ordered.

······
"What the hell are you doing..."

"Damn, walking so slowly."

It was already evening at this time, and the second company commander of the first battalion watched the Devil artillery brigade stop from time to time in the distance, confused, and even cursed.

He planted landmines in front of him, but the devils had walked for so long and still hadn't arrived.

"It should be repairing the tractor."

After all, the deputy company commander and platoon leader have been trained at the headquarters and know a lot: "This heavy artillery is heavy and requires a lot of strength to drag it. The quality of the little devil's tractor is probably not good. It will break after a few steps. "

"Boss Chen's stuff is better."

The second company commander muttered something, then held up his binoculars to look at the Devils heavy artillery unit in the distance.

"Company commander, there are mine-sweeping vehicles in front of the devils, and the devils on the two wings are spreading widely. Shall we do it?"

The deputy company commander and platoon leader asked:
"Looking at the movement of the devil, it seems that he doesn't intend to leave tonight."

After seeing the Devils Heavy Artillery Brigade, he hesitated.

When the devils were on guard, during the day, it was hard not to detect the ropes in the regiment's mines.

After suffering a few losses, the little devil has also summed up his experience, and it is very difficult not to be discovered in an ambush.And the number of devils in the heavy artillery brigade in front of them is not small, more than 400 people, but they only have more than 100 people, the difference in strength is too great.

"Dig out the mines."

The second company commander thought for a moment and said:
"I'm afraid the mines can't be dealt with, so let's attack at night."

"In the middle of the night, when the little devils are careless, rush up and directly blow up the devils' cannons, then withdraw, don't get entangled with them, and remember to kill the little devil's tractor driver when the time comes."

"A ghost driver can produce a year's harvest of a hundred acres of land!"
