Bright sword, I have a red police base car

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! The First and Second Independent Brigades are being severely bombarded by the Chinese army! Requesting tactical guidance!"

After being fully covered by the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, the support troops of the Little Japs were pinned to the spot by the artillery fire and were not allowed to move in. In this case, the Little Japs could only request support from their division headquarters while evacuating. .

But in the face of this situation, what can the little devil's division headquarters do?

Their artillery is all 75mm artillery, which has no range advantage when facing the Eighth Route Army's 122mm howitzer.

In other words, the Red Police troops can now attack the Japs' artillery, but the Japanese artillery batteries do not have the ability to pose a threat to the 115th Division Artillery Regiment.

This is very embarrassing.

Just as the Japanese division headquarters was thinking about countermeasures, the firepower of the 115th Division Artillery Regiment stopped.

But the cessation of artillery fire does not mean that the Japanese army's nightmare is over, but because the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment is in place!
"Jizhong Cavalry Regiment! Attack!"

"kill!"

As the cavalry regiment began to charge the two brigades of the Japanese support troops, the little devils suddenly missed the shelling of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Eighth Route Army's artillery strikes were very violent, due to the relatively open terrain, the Japanese army still had a high chance of escaping the artillery fire after being evacuated.

However, this state of evacuation makes it impossible to effectively counterattack when facing cavalry.

In order to avoid the shelling, the Japanese heavy weapons were not deployed at all. The resistance the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment faced was only sporadic firepower from the Japanese army.

For the soldiers of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, there is no pressure to face the scattered infantry with no organized defense in such an open area.

Even in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army cavalry, this is simply a goal tailor-made for the cavalry.

What else can you say? Kill!
Is there any reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth?
So the soldiers of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment accelerated their charge again.

During the cavalry charge, the Eighth Route Army could not resist the sporadic firepower of the little devils. The soldiers of the guard company of the cavalry regiment at the forefront all lowered their bodies and used the Type 50 submachine guns in their hands to suppress the Japanese army.

"Baga! Reload quickly, you idiot!"

At this time, a Japanese light machine gun team was holding a Taisho [-] (crooked handle) light machine gun and planned to shoot at the soldiers of the cavalry regiment.

However, due to the artillery attack by the Eighth Route Army just now, a lot of soil was put into the ammunition supply of the light machine gun in the hands of the Japanese army. The kid's light machine gun jammed after two shots.

Thanks to the low reliability of the Japanese army's exotic weapons, the little devil's light machine gun deputy can only empty the remaining bullets in the bucket as quickly as possible, then clean the soil inside, apply oil with a small brush, and then re- Reload.

This process was very cumbersome, and under the tremendous pressure brought by the cavalry regiment charging towards them, the light machine gun deputy made many mistakes during the operation.

There is no other way. The main shooter can only assist the deputy shooter in cleaning up so that the light machine gun can be repaired as quickly as possible.

Strive to counterattack the Eighth Route Army as quickly as possible.

But they have no chance...

As a light machine gun group, it is very conspicuous in the eyes of the soldiers of the reconnaissance company. After all, this is a target that is very likely to kill them in large numbers.

So the two soldiers of the reconnaissance company raised their Type 50 submachine guns and fired a round of long bursts at the Japanese light machine gun team.

The Japanese light machine gun crew who had just reloaded their ammunition were both killed.

Little Devil: Really, it was so sudden!
"Division and Regiment Headquarters, we encountered a large number of cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army, requesting support!"

Seeing the troops of the cavalry regiment arriving in an instant, the little devil hurriedly sent a telegram requesting troops for support.

After all, judging from the current situation, their two brigades are so scattered that there is no way to organize the troops to effectively counterattack.

This is the Eighth Route Army. If faced with the Red Police Force, the little devils would not even have a chance to send a telegram.

However, facing the charge of the Eighth Route Army cavalry, the Japanese army could not sit still and wait for death. In addition to requesting support, the little Japanese also took other measures.

"Notify all troops to switch tactics immediately! Hurry, hurry up!"

"Hay!"

High emotional intelligence: tactical transition.

Low EQ: Run!

It can be seen that the emotional intelligence of the little devils is quite high.

But in this case, high emotional intelligence is useless, they can't defeat the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, the entire fighting area was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. The soldiers of the cavalry regiment rode their horses and ran all over the mountains and plains like chasing wild boars.

Facts have proved that in some areas, the little devils are completely inferior to the wild boars!

At least wild boars can run fast!

So the little devils who escaped were like a piece of cake, eaten one by one by the soldiers of the cavalry regiment.

Faced with this situation, the Japanese army did not think of organizing troops to block the attack. However, due to the previous shelling, the troops were too dispersed. The officers could not find their own soldiers, and the soldiers could not find their own officers.

And what if you find it? If you block it in this situation, wouldn't that mean you're going to die?
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist. It's honorable to protect the troops, but it can't be me!
This is the true portrayal of the hearts of the vast majority of Japanese devils.

Anyway, the officer is not by his side, so who cares?

It's over after Kai Liao!

Thanks to the simple thinking of the majority of Japanese soldiers, it was difficult for the completely defeated Japanese support troops to organize effective defensive measures. Even if they used supervisory teams to withstand some Japanese soldiers' notes to build a defense line, they were all overtaken by the cavalry regiments in a short time. Everything is in disarray.

Even the supervising team was almost dead.

Jizhong Cavalry Regiment: I am a cavalryman! If I could, I would give you time to build a position, and I would kill my horse for meat!

As the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment accelerated its charge again, the two supporting brigades of the Japanese army also entered a countdown to death.

Changgang Village, inside the Japanese Army Division Headquarters.

After learning that the two independent infantry brigades supporting were attacked by cavalry, the commander of the Japanese division immediately transferred all cavalry units from the two divisions to form a cavalry regiment for support.

This is the difference between Type C Division and Type A Division.

The Class A division not only has a directly affiliated cavalry regiment, but also has two infantry brigades under its jurisdiction and their own cavalry units.

The C Division only had one cavalry brigade, and it took all the cavalry from the two divisions to barely make up a low-profile cavalry regiment.

Although the two Japanese division commanders were very helpless about this, they finally managed to gather a support force.

"Order the cavalry regiment to quickly go to support!"

"Hay!"

Within the ambush circle of the two Type-A regiments of the Eighth Route Army, an infantry regiment serving as the vanguard of the Japanese army had been basically destroyed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery.

"Order the troops and blow the charge horn!"

Chen Ergou heard this and asked quickly: "Captain, are we really fighting this time?" Ding Wei:...

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

As the charge horn sounded, soldiers from two Class A regiments, the 18th Regiment and the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, began to charge towards the Japanese army from the north and south.

Faced with an attack of this scale, the remaining few hundred Japanese troops were unable to resist.

And among the less than four hundred little devils, everyone was injured at this time.

The Eighth Route Army troops used a very short time to eliminate the Japs who dared to resist and captured all the remaining Japanese wounded soldiers.

After all, this is a unit of the Eighth Route Army, which pays special attention to treating prisoners preferentially. If they are facing a Red Police unit...

"All the little devils believe in Bushido, where did we get the prisoners?!" - Zhang Shijie
However, for these prisoners, Zhang Shijie can later ask the Eighth Route Army for them to undergo labor reform. Anyway, the labor reform stations of the Red Police Force have always been dissatisfied. For Japanese prisoners of war, a resource that is easily consumed, the more the better.

"The 18th Regiment dispersed the battlefield as soon as possible and prepared the next battle plan!"

"Members of the 28th Regiment! Gather immediately and drive toward Changgang Village!"

After wiping out the Japanese vanguard, the two Type A regiments, the main force in the battle, immediately began to advance toward the predetermined position to ensure the encirclement of the two Japanese divisions in Changgang Village.

Ding Wei looked at the troops marching towards Changgang Village, and he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart.

I think back when the Eighth Route Army just came out to fight the Japanese and fought the first battle at Pingxingguan, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Fifth Division had to assemble the entire 115th Division to fight it.

But now that times have changed, the Eighth Route Army now only needs a few regiments of troops to suppress the two C-type divisions of the little Japanese and force them to fight in turns.

In just a few years, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army experienced an offensive-defensive situation.

This development is inextricably linked to Zhang Shijie's logistics support team.

However, Zhang Shijie's actual positioning is still quite criticized among the Eighth Route Army.

However, the leadership of the Eighth Route Army also understands this situation, but for the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, the emergence of Zhang Shijie is an important opportunity for the development of the Eighth Route Army.

Regardless of whether the Eighth Route Army cares or not, Zhang Shijie's red police force is there and will not change due to the will of the Eighth Route Army.

"We must make more friends and make fewer enemies."

This is the current attitude of the Eighth Route Army towards the Red Police Force.

As a man with great strategic vision, Ding Wei could only shake his head and give up his slightly dark thoughts, and continued to lead the troops towards Changgang Village.

"Comrade Zhang's role in the development of the Eighth Route Army was crucial. I do have a dark mind..."

……

In the combat area of ​​the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment against the Japanese support troops, the two independent brigades of the Little Devils had all been wiped out by the soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment.

However, the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment that completed the battle did not clean up the battlefield immediately. Instead, it began to concentrate its troops in preparation for the arrival of the next wave of Japanese reinforcements.

At the same time, as the direct support force of the regiment, the heavy machine gun company, mortar company and air defense company of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment have begun to build positions for deployment.

If the Japanese army comes in large numbers, these supporting firepower can also cover the troops immediately.

"Captain!"

At this time, an Eighth Route Army cavalry scout came galloping from the direction of Changgang Village.

"Come on... Commander, Japanese reinforcements have arrived. There is about a cavalry regiment. They are still 20 minutes away from here!"

"Inform the artillery observation unit that the Japs' cavalry is coming and ask them to provide timely fire support."

"Yes, Captain!"

In terms of organization, the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Cavalry Regiment is smaller in number than the Japanese Army's Cavalry Regiment.

The Eighth Route Army currently only has one regiment-level organic cavalry unit, the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment. Therefore, even if the current equipment of the cavalry regiment can defeat the Little Devil's cavalry regiment, the Eighth Route Army does not want the cavalry regiment to suffer too much losses.

Therefore, the early use of artillery to weaken the effective strength of the Japanese army became a necessary means for the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving the news, the artillery observation team located in the mountain immediately began to calibrate the locations where the Japanese troops may appear, so that they can attack the Japanese troops as soon as possible after they appear.

20 minutes later, the Japanese cavalry regiment that came to support appeared in front of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. After developing the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, the Japanese cavalry immediately began to adjust their formation to prevent the Eighth Route Army from charging towards them when their foothold was not stable. .

But the little devil is overly worried. There is no need for cavalry to deal with them at this time.

"Attention artillery regiment! Coordinates, 639, 174, altitude 411, Xu Jin barrage!"

"The artillery regiment received it!"

So when the Japanese cavalry regiment was reorganizing its formation, artillery shells from the 115th Division Artillery Regiment hit them.

The artillery shells are still the same, using time fuses to kill Japanese troops with air blasts.

However, the types of ammunition currently used by the Eighth Route Army's artillery units are still early high-explosive/fragmentation anti-personnel bombs, and there are no new types of anti-personnel ammunition such as anti-explosive incendiary bombs and white phosphorus incendiary bombs later equipped by the Red Police Force.

Therefore, the most efficient attack at that time was still this low-altitude air blast method.

Under the firepower of the 115th Division Artillery Regiment, the Little Japanese cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses in an instant. Even the Japanese cavalry outside the coverage of the artillery fire were frightened and turned over.

Although the little devil's cavalry and horses are all trained for explosions, the explosion training is not so close.

So due to the large number of frightened horses, the little devil's cavalry camp also began to scatter uncontrollably.

"Baga Yalu! All troops control their horses and attack the Chinese army!"

"IELTS for you!"

In order to avoid the artillery strikes of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils could only choose to charge against the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

Even when the charge formation is not fully prepared.

What else can I do?
Their cavalry regiment only has so few people. The more they explode, the fewer people they will have, and the more they explode, the more chaotic the formation will be.

It would be better to rush out and fight to the death with the opponent.

However, at this time, the captain of the Japanese cavalry company was still scolding the previous troops in his heart. Why didn't you tell him such important news that the Eighth Route Army used heavy artillery over 100 mm? !

Japanese Division Commander: Sorry, I forgot!

But now they have no other choice but to rely on the speed of the cavalry to rush into the Eighth Route Army cavalry formation as much as possible.

They can't just blow up their own cavalry, right?
They cannot be blown up together, but the Eighth Route Army has other means...

"Air defense company, fire!"
