The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 802 Huang Yu: Let the cavalry go (second update)
After the baptism of aerial bombs, the assault speed of the attacking force was significantly accelerated.

At the expense of a few soldiers, the attacking force successfully took over the blocking position, and this deal was profitable no matter what.

"Division commander, the attacking troops are rushing up..." The brigade commander suddenly said excitedly.

Lieutenant General Sakuragi reacted faster, put down the binoculars, and ordered to the chief of staff: "The troops will start immediately, continue to advance, go straight to Chenjiazhuang, and take it down as quickly as possible."

The cavalry captain who had been standing here waiting for orders hurriedly reminded: "Division commander..."

"What about the two battalions of the Eighth Route Army returning to aid Chenjiazhuang?"

"They have few soldiers, no one is stopping them, and they are marching very fast."

"Our army carries a lot of heavy equipment, and the Eighth Route Army uses tunnels to block the way. The marching speed must not be as fast as theirs."

"If we don't send troops to intercept, these Eighth Route Army will definitely rush to Chenjiazhuang before us."

"The head of the division, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Lieutenant General Sakuragi knew the seriousness of this matter, and wished he could personally lead troops to kill him.

But the commander's military order must be implemented. Without Okamura Neiji's order, no matter how bold he is, he would not dare to divide the troops rashly.

Just when he was about to shake his head and refuse again, the communication staff officer suddenly ran towards him with a happy face: "Division commander..."

"Urgent telegram from the former enemy headquarters."

"Your Excellency, Commander, agrees that we send troops to raid the Eighth Route Army's return reinforcements."

"The specific number of troops to send is up to the division head to decide, but they must be equipped with more radio stations."

"In the event of an accident, air support can be called in time."

"The Air Force specially prepares a flying squadron to cover the attacking troops and ensure their safety."

"Great……"

Admiral Sakuragi was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground, and he opened his mouth to give orders.

"The Eighth Route Army's return troops have a total of six reinforcement companies."

"My original idea was to send the cavalry out and raid them in squadrons."

"After thinking about it, I realized that I can't just rely on cavalry."

"Cavalry is suitable for assault, not for attack."

"Once they were attacked and hid in the tunnel, the cavalry could only watch them flee and could not attack directly."

"Immediately deploy six reinforced squadrons and six cavalry squadrons, march quickly to catch up with the Eighth Route Army's return reinforcements, and kill them."

"Each squadron strengthens the radio station by one step, and immediately calls for air support if there is a situation."

…………

Less than half an hour after the division of the former enemy headquarters of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army and the Kwantung Army's central mopping forces, relevant information appeared in Huang Yu's hands.

"Xiao Huang, Chief of Staff Wang Lin sent an urgent call." Liu Sen walked in front of Huang Yu with a happy face.

"The little devils who raided Chenjiazhuang suddenly split up."

"A reinforced squadron combined with a cavalry squadron, sent a total of six action teams, and suddenly turned to chase and kill the two battalions we returned to assist Chenjiazhuang."

"Ningji Okamura was scared by our tunnel battle."

"I'm afraid that the two battalions will enter Chenjiazhuang, relying on the tunnel fortifications there to block their attack and keep the passage into the mountain."

"He even took the risk of dividing his troops to chase and kill our army's return reinforcements."

"It's just God helping me."

"Eat them, and the Kwantung Army that raided Chenjiazhuang will drop to 1000 men, and the pressure to annihilate them through ambushes will be much less."

Huang Yu took it for granted, and looked at the map to analyze: "There is a little devil's plane staring at it in the sky."

"Our battle must be resolved quickly, without giving the Kwantung Army's pursuit troops any chance to escape."

"Otherwise the battle of annihilation will become a battle of defeat, which will not reach the deadline."

"Have the cavalry companies staying in Chenjiazhuang rested?"

"This kind of small-scale raid is best suited for cavalry."

"Let the reinforcements kill the devil cavalry squadron first, and our cavalry company will attack their infantry..."

…………

More than 100 devil cavalry galloped wildly, relying on their speed advantage, chasing the Eighth Route Army's return reinforcements in front.

Reinforced squadrons with mortars and heavy machine guns followed.

As time passed, the distance between the two parties became wider and wider.

Lieutenant General Sakuragi originally thought that the cavalry and infantry would pursue the Eighth Route Army together, and the two sides would join forces to ensure the safety of the troops as much as possible.

However, as soon as this idea was proposed, it was opposed by most of the subordinates.

The Eighth Route Army's returning reinforcements had already taken the first step, and they basically marched lightly, marching very fast.

When Lieutenant General Sakuragi gave the order to divide the troops, they had already walked five or six kilometers.

If the chasing troops march in groups, the cavalry squadron will inevitably be dragged down by the reinforced squadron, and one will follow the Eighth Route Army's return troops to eat ashes and cannot catch up with them.

In the end, they had to watch them enter Chenjiazhuang.

To eliminate this risk, Lieutenant General Sakuragi could only choose to take risks and let the two troops advance separately.

Relying on the advantage of speed, the cavalry squadron caught up with the Eighth Route Army's return reinforcements in the shortest time, held them back, and slowed down the Eighth Route Army's marching speed.

After the strengthened squadron arrived on the battlefield, the two sides joined forces to eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

This led to the scene in front of me.

The cavalry squadron rolled up a lot of dust on the Kuaizai highway, and when it was about to catch up with the Eighth Route Army's returning reinforcements, the reinforced squadron was still on its way five or six kilometers behind.

"The troops will turn to defense on the spot..." Yi Fei, commander of the [-]nd Battalion and [-]th Company of the Shunping Garrison Regiment, gave a decisive order after scanning the surrounding terrain.

Although the slope at the foot is only seven or eight meters high, it is the highest terrain within three kilometers around, and it is the most suitable defensive position.

The devil cavalry was about to catch up, and there was no time for him to choose a new position.

"Buzzing..."

The roar of the plane suddenly sounded at the edge of the sky, and the sound became louder and louder.

A look of solemnity quickly flashed across Yi Fei's face, he didn't expect that his main force could attract the little devil's plane.

The pressure increased sharply, and after scanning a small black dot that suddenly appeared in the sky, he began to give orders.

"The troops spread out and set up positions in units of squads, and the little devil planes also came to join in the fun. The more dispersed the troops, the less damage the air strikes will bring to us."

"The machine gunners are all scattered and on standby. Without my order, no one can shoot in advance."

"I want to swallow the little devil's cavalry squadron in one gulp, creating an opportunity for the cavalry company to attack the devil's infantry."

"Buzzing..."

The roar above the head became louder and louder, and the little black spot slowly turned into a silver-white plane.

The Devil pilot had obviously seen the Eighth Route Army, which was setting up a defense line on the ground, circling in the sky before swooping down towards the ground.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The aerial bomb broke away from the aircraft in an instant, and hit the top of the hillside steadily with a howling sound.

The explosion sounded like thunder on the top of the slope, and the flames and black smoke that soared into the sky formed a huge mushroom cloud, at least 20 meters high.

Seven or eight soldiers were like paper toys, blown away with their guns.

The squadron leader of the Devil Cavalry happened to see this scene, and his face immediately beamed with joy.
