Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

On that vast grassland, it seemed that there was only endless green between heaven and earth, gently connecting with the distant sky.

And in this tranquil and magnificent scenery, two slightly raised hills stand quietly like guardian gods on the grassland, and their outlines appear particularly soft in the afterglow of the setting sun.

But at this moment, a burst of hurried horse hooves broke the tranquility on the grassland.

A large group of Japanese cavalry poured in between the two mountains like a tide.

The Japanese leader Hei Cheng was very impatient. Under the order of General Takeda, he quickly caught up with the Wugan tribe and forced the imperial army of the Wugan tribe to fight a decisive battle with him.

Heicheng knew that this battle was of great significance and very dangerous, so he led his cavalry to rush into the migrating Wugan tribe as quickly as possible before the Wugan cavalry could react.

This is of great significance to the combat, the safety of the entire cavalry unit, or how many of them can survive.

So Heicheng took the lead and, with his men, more than 600 cavalrymen, quickly rushed into the valley between the two mountains.

However, this desire for quick success pushed them into the abyss of death.

Just as they were galloping defenselessly in the narrow col, the earth suddenly shook, as if a sleeping beast was awakened and roared to vent its anger.

boom--!
A deafening roar broke the tranquility of the grassland, followed by continuous explosions, like a series of thunders, echoing in the valley, shaking every inch of land and every blade of grass.

It was a landmine that Duanwu had asked the Wugan tribe to plant in advance.

Of course, there are no landmines in the Wugan tribe, but since the Dragon Boat Festival, there are landmines in the Wugan tribe.

These are the gunpowder accumulated by the Wugan tribe.

Its ingredients were very mixed, some were homemade gunpowder made by the Wugan tribe, and some were explosives seized from the devils last time.

They were packaged and connected with grenades. As long as the Japanese cavalry arrived and the horses tripped the fuses, all the mines would explode in chain.

The blast caused the Japanese cavalry to be thrown high into the air and then slammed heavily to the ground.

The horses neighed in fear and kicked their hooves wildly. Some were blown to pieces, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Others were seriously injured and ran blindly, knocking down their companions and exacerbating the chaos after the explosion.

At this moment, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air, completely blocking the afterglow of the setting sun.

The valley was pitch black, with only the glow of explosions and occasional flashes of gunfire illuminating a corner of this hell on earth.

The Japanese cavalry was no longer as arrogant as before. Some were blown to pieces by landmines, and even their bodies could not be pieced together. Some had their limbs broken and lay on the ground wailing, waiting desperately for death to come.

Others, although lucky enough to survive, were trampled to death by their companions or frightened horses in the chaos.

The Japanese leader Heicheng wanted to make great achievements in this battle, but he never expected that he would meet his death one step ahead of time.

He was hit directly by a landmine and was torn into pieces by the huge force of the explosion. He was unable to even utter a complete scream and turned into a streak of blood on the grassland.

This sudden mine attack dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese cavalry unit. At least one-third of the more than 600 cavalrymen were killed or wounded, and the remaining Japanese were in a state of chaos after the explosion.

The most important thing is that their commander, Heicheng, was killed, and the Japanese were in a state of no one in command.

But at this moment, the earth began to tremble again, and the cavalry of the Wugan tribe arrived.

The cavalry of the Wugan tribe came from two directions.

On the southeast side, more than 1,200 cavalrymen, led by Duanwu and Wugan, attacked from behind the Japanese cavalry.

In the northwest, there were 1,400 cavalrymen led by Wu Gan's sworn brother, Nathan. The two cavalry brigades came like a tsunami, and in just a moment, they engulfed all the Japanese cavalrymen.

Duanwu took the lead, the sword in his hand drew a graceful arc in the air, and at the moment when his two horses crossed with those of the Japanese, he cut off the neck of a Japanese cavalryman without any hindrance.

The devil's head was gone, but the rest of his body was still firmly riding on the horse, and the sword in his hand was waving involuntarily.

Perhaps this devil's body has not yet realized that it is dead. It looks extremely terrifying.

Wu Gan followed closely behind, with a double-edged axe in his hand. The axe flashed with a cold light and directly chopped the Japanese soldier rushing towards him in half with one axe.

Duanwu was amazed by Wu Gan's terrifying power. He didn't expect that there was such a brave person besides himself.

As soon as the two evil gods made a move, the southeast corner of the Japanese was quickly cut in half like a pancake.

At the same time, in the northwest direction of the Japanese, Wu Gan's sworn brother, Nathan, also arrived with 1,400 cavalrymen.

Nathan, like Wugan, uses a battle axe, but his battle axe is single-edged and slightly inferior to Wugan's in terms of decoration.

However, in terms of strength and sharpness, it is not inferior at all, and it can kill Japanese soldiers one by one with one axe.

The Japanese cavalry were quickly dispersed. Even though some small groups of Japanese tried to organize a counterattack, any counterattack was futile under the fierce attack of the Wugan tribal cavalry.

The remaining 300-odd devils were soon almost wiped out.

But at this time, although General Takeda heard the explosion, he had not yet realized that his cavalry might be gone.

What's more, at this point, even if he knew, he wouldn't stop.

Because his troops have already been deployed.

Two infantry battalions were encircling them from both sides.

Although the mechanized infantry regiment is not as mobile as the cavalry, it is about to reach the attack site.

But at this time, General Takeda's central army and artillery fell behind.

And especially the artillery and baggage troops.

They were left far behind.

What made the Japanese even more headache was that at this time, the cavalry of the Wugan tribe seemed to have dealt with the puppet troops and were attacking them from behind.

Takeda thought for a moment and could only order the baggage train to stop the baggage trucks and use the trucks as cover to block the cavalry of the Wugan tribe attacking from behind.

Although Takeda also felt that this might be a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, in order to annihilate the main force of the Wugan tribe, he had no choice but to abandon his baggage train.

Takeda continued to give orders: "Order the artillery to speed up. They must reach the designated position before the temporary 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Supplement Battalion surround them."

"Hi!"

The Japanese officer took the order and immediately issued it down.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the baggage unit had bitter faces. They only had more than 200 people left to deal with cavalry that was several times their number. Just thinking about it was no different from sending themselves to death.

The artillerymen were cursing, because they were artillerymen, even if they had trucks pulling artillery, how could they outrun the infantry, and they had to reach the designated position before the infantry could encircle them? This was simply an international joke! (End of this chapter)
