The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2163 Cavalry Experience

When Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuan'er and other cavalrymen including Fang Zheng saw the scene of the confrontation between the enemy and us, their heartbeats accelerated.

There were more than 60 Japanese cavalrymen in the distance, while there were only more than 40 on the Eighth Route Army side.

The enemy and our side were facing each other at a distance of three or four hundred meters.

The situation is the same for both the enemy and us.

The war horses would even dig up the soil on the ground when they kicked their huge hooves, and they would snort loudly, and white breath would come out of their nostrils.

The soldier on horseback held the reins in one hand and raised his saber in the other. The standing sabers were flashing a cold light under the setting sun.

Who would have thought that in this age of hot weapons, there would actually be a battle using cold weapons.

Perhaps this kind of cold weapon battle cannot be as noisy and lively as the charge on the battlefield with hot weapons, but it has a kind of solemnity that seems condensed between heaven and earth.

Fang Zheng was not in a hurry to meet up with his own company. He still looked at Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuaner and others with some concern.

There is no doubt that Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuaner and others understood the meaning in Fang Zheng's eyes.

Although Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuan and others had never seen cavalry fighting each other, they could imagine that such a fight would be more brutal than hand-to-hand combat between infantry.

With a chop from a saber, a man's arm would be torn off and he would fall off his horse!

Once a person falls off his horse, he can no longer care about the enemy cavalry or even his own riders.

Then the warhorse's huge iron hoof will trample on you, no matter whether you are a normal person who is trampled to the point of spitting out blood, or a person whose stomach is broken and intestines are spilling out!

"Will it not bring shame to your cavalry if we shoot at the Japanese on horseback?" Liu Keqiang suddenly asked.

After Liu Keqiang said this, Qian Chuan'er and the others all said "Yes" in their hearts!

When they first came over, they really wanted to experience being a cavalryman, but that was just an experience, they really had no intention of fighting the Japanese army face to face.

Besides, how to fight? Two groups of cavalrymen were fighting each other, so they needed sabers. Among them, only one soldier named Liu Quanyou had a saber.

The saber was still hanging on the Japanese horse, and he probably forgot to take it off.

But when they first came, Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuaner both puffed out their chests and said they wanted to come, but now they don’t say anything about charging forward. Isn’t this a bit embarrassing?

Besides, they can't just stand there and watch the fun, they will definitely open fire.

But while two groups of cavalry were confronting each other, they were shooting at the side. Wouldn’t that be an unfair victory?

This was why they felt a little guilty when they looked at Fang Zheng.

When Fang Zheng saw that the people from Shang Zhen’s camp had similar expressions, he figured out what they were thinking.

"When you were fighting with the Japanese with bayonets, didn't they set up machine guns?" This was Fang Zheng's answer.

Then Fang Zheng did not wait for their answer but said to his soldiers: "Let's go! We can't let the Japanese underestimate us!"

For a moment, Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuan'er looked at each other, not knowing what to do. However, their gang member Liu Quanyou urged his horse to follow Fang Zheng and the others forward.

"Hey, Liu Quanyou, where are you going?" Wu Ziqi shouted.

"Of course I will go. I have a saber, and I dream of being a cavalryman!" Liu Quanyou answered without turning his head while drawing his saber on his horse.

But this time, before Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuan'er could say anything, the Japanese soldiers on the other side suddenly let out a jackal-like roar.

Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuan'er and others saw the Japanese soldiers urging their horses on, with the sabers in their hands raised.

The saber emitted a cold light in the setting sun, just like the light emitted by the bayonets of their infantrymen when they were fighting hand-to-hand with the Japanese army!

War horses also have an acceleration process. In just a moment, the Japanese war horse began to gallop wildly.

So the Japanese offensive was like beating a drum, as if the Eighth Route Army cavalry would be defeated in a flash the moment they collided.

"What are you still standing there for? Get off your horse and shoot!" Liu Keqiang shouted.

Fang Zheng has indirectly answered their doubts just now. Fang Zheng said that you infantrymen will not open fire before fighting with bayonets?

There were actually not many times when Shang Zhenying fought with the Japanese with bayonets. Not to mention how strong they were in hand-to-hand combat, they had box guns in their hands, and when they were in close combat with the Japanese, they used the rapid-fire advantage of the box guns to suppress the Japanese bayonets.

They would absolutely avoid hand-to-hand combat if they could, because they couldn't afford to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of their own in such a fight!

However, this does not mean that they were unaware of the hand-to-hand combat between the enemy and us.

It is said that the Japanese devils have the spirit of Bushido, but in fact, before hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese army would also play tricks!

They pulled out their bayonets, pointed their bayonets forward, and confronted the Chinese army. But just when the Chinese army thought they were going to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese machine gunner hiding on the side pulled the trigger first!

Warfare is all about deception. Of course, when adrenaline drives people crazy, they lose their minds and fight hand-to-hand. But in many cases, in order to survive, both the enemy and us will do whatever it takes.

You die and I live, this is the irrefutable truth!

Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuan'er and their group consisted of about fifteen or sixteen people, all of them veterans. They jumped up from their horses and naturally did not delay. They loaded their rifles and pulled the trigger at the Japanese army.

Veterans are veterans. No matter how vicious the enemy is, the only thing they believe in is the gun in their hands.

When gunshots rang out, some Japanese soldiers who were galloping on their horses fell off their horses, while others were knocked over with their horses.

It's just a cavalry charge, it's like poured water, how can it be taken back?

The Japanese army continued to ride forward, and at this time, Liu Keqiang, Qian Chuan'er and others who reacted quickly only had time to fire another shot, and the remaining Japanese soldiers had already collided with the Eighth Route Army cavalry riding in the opposite direction.

As the horses crossed each other, soldiers from both sides fell off their horses.

And this kind of confrontation will definitely not be like the ancient cold weapon era where the enemy and us fight on horseback.

There was no such thing as a 300-round battle; it was just a confrontation!

At the moment when the enemy's horses meet, you can either chop down the enemy, or be chopped down yourself, or ride past and rush to the next target.

So after the enemy and our side collided and fell, they passed each other.

It just so happened that the Japanese soldiers, seeing a group of Chinese soldiers shooting at them, felt that they had been taken advantage of, so they rode their horses forward and rushed towards Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuaner.

If this group of Japanese troops had encountered another Chinese army, perhaps they would have been able to take advantage, charging and ramming, and slashing with sabers, and the infantry would definitely have suffered.

But the problem was that the Japanese cavalry were facing these veterans from Shang Zhen’s camp.

Seeing that there were more than 20 Japanese cavalrymen rushing towards them, the war horses that Qian Chuan'er and his men had captured all started to neigh, and even because Qian Chuan'er and his men had already let go of the reins, the horses ran away.

But Qian Chuan'er and his men didn't care about that! When the enemy and our cavalry were fighting, they threw away their rifles and replaced them with the box guns they carried across their bodies!

You little devils are cavalry, so what? No matter how fast your horse is, it can't be as fast as the bullets from the box gun!

What's more, most of Qian Chuan'er and his men used 20-shot box cannons, and they fired only short bursts, and all of them were shot at the galloping horses' heads!

Veterans have experience in this kind of thing. The penetrating power of a box gun is limited. If the bullet hits the horse's legs or chest, it may not necessarily knock the horse down.

If the horse went crazy and ran through, wouldn't they be trampled into meat paste?

The Japanese army's tall horses ran very fast, and God knows how many seconds it would take them to run a hundred meters.

So, in this instant of collision, the more than 20 Japanese cavalrymen who rushed forward lay down one after another, while the Japanese cavalrymen who were not hit by bullets at the back pulled up the reins and passed their companions in front.

And with just this one leap, a horse carrying Japanese cavalry arrived in front of Qian Chuaner and his men!

"Pah pah pah" "Pah pah pah" "Pah pah pah"

In that split second, God knows how many bullets Qian Chuan'er and his men fired. Anyway, when the last batch of Japanese horses fell, the Japanese cavalryman who fell off the horse directly hit Wu Ziqi who was unable to dodge.

The Japanese warhorse, which had been almost beaten into a sieve, fell on Wang Xiaodan!

There were no Japanese horses left standing, but how could the battle be considered over at this point?

What about the Japanese soldiers whose horses were knocked down and who fell off their horses but got up again?

Liu Keqiang and Qian Chuan'er were all using box guns and they fired in time. By the time the Eighth Route Army cavalry turned their horses around and ran towards them, the battle was already over.

The war horses were piled up with the corpses of Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldier was dead, but the warhorse was still struggling.

The cavalrymen of the Eighth Route Army reined in their horses and looked quietly at the veterans of Shang Zhenying, while the veterans of Shang Zhenying also looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

After a moment's silence, Qian Chuan'er suddenly saw Liu Quanyou among the cavalry, holding a saber with red bloodstains on it.

Qian Chuan'er suddenly laughed and asked loudly, "Liu Quanyou! How's your cavalry career?"

"It's so fucking satisfying, I can chop one into pieces alive!" Liu Quanyou replied excitedly.

Liu Quanyou, an ordinary soldier in Shang Zhen’s camp, usually speaks in a low voice.

He is very thin and not good-looking. He is the kind of person that you would just see as a passerby on the street and no one would pay special attention to him.

But at this moment, he was actually emitting a high morale, and the look in his eyes was no longer filled with excitement, but excitement!

do not judge a book by it's cover.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how could Qian Chuan'er, Liu Keqiang and others have imagined that Liu Quanyou had such a passionate side?

Perhaps every Chinese soldier who dares to resist aggression has the warlike genes passed down from their ancestors to fight against the sky, the earth, and the enemy.

Just give me a chance, I can also become a god of war!
