Chapter 202 Chen Ziyun vs Puppet Cavalry

"Traveler, hurry up and retreat. If you don't retreat, the 358th regiment will be completely wiped out in Qicun Town."

"The puppet Mongolian army has a large number of cavalry units. They are good at fighting on horses. The brigade headquarters may be attacked by cavalry at any time."

"Qicun Town's defensive deployment has been breached. If we don't evacuate quickly, we will all be killed."

Qian Bojun had already brought the regiment staff to the brigade headquarters. After seeing Chu Yunfei, he said worriedly.

Chu Yunfei's brigade headquarters had already been moved to the area south of Qicun Town, which meant that he was going to personally supervise the battle.

Chu Yunfei also knew about the frontline combat situation. He knew that the 358 regiment's current operations were not going very smoothly.

But Chu Yunfei showed displeasure when he saw that Qian Bojun, as the commander of the battle, had evacuated directly without authorization.

In particular, Qian Bojun kept asking for evacuation, and said that everything would be wiped out, which made him even more angry.

"Captain Qian, you are the acting commander of the 358th Regiment, and you are going to command the battle on the front line."

"The position is about to be breached. Instead of commanding at the front line, you evacuated without authorization and kept bewitching the morale of the army."

"Just for this, I can shoot you on the spot as a warning to others!"

Chu Yunfei looked at Qian Bojun and said with displeasure.

Qian Bojun wanted to keep a low profile, so as to continue to gain Chu Yunfei's confidence and keep raising his price tag.

But when he heard Chu Yunfei yell at him face to face, he even said that he wanted to shoot him.

This made him very dissatisfied, so he couldn't help but refute.

"Commander Chen Ziyun unified the command of the various units, but he directly hid and commanded on the high ground on the west side."

"Pin character formation is deployed for defense. As a result, the Japanese and puppet troops will break through the position in two or three hits."

"Traveler, I have a capital crime, so Commander Chen Ziyun, who is in command, deserves death."

Qian Bojun looked at Chu Yunfei and said with dissatisfaction.

Chu Yunfei frowned, and gave Qian Bojun a cold look.

"Traveler, I just got the news that Commander Chen Ziyun has quickly gone to the front line to take command."

At this time, Fang Ligong reported softly.

"Chief of Staff Fang, Chen Ziyun is not omnipotent!"

"Qi Cunzhen's defeat is set, Chen Ziyun will be able to turn the tide in the past?"

"I don't think so, Lu Zuo, the defeat of Qicun Town is not my fault alone, please treat them equally and deal with them fairly."

Qian Bojun looked at Fang Ligong, emphatically said the words Chief of Staff Fang, and said in a sarcasm.

Fang Ligong knew that Qian Bojun was an old man who had followed Chu Yunfei for many years, so naturally he would not argue with him.

Chu Yunfei just snorted coldly, ignored Qian Bojun, and paid attention to the frontline combat situation.

At four o'clock, the fifth battalion attacked from the flank, and 400 troops launched an attack operation to attack the little devil's flank troops.

The four Liao-made field guns provided direct support for them, and they had made some progress here.

The little devil focused all his attention on Qi Cunzhen, and never expected that troops would attack from the flanks.

The First Battalion of the Independent Infantry quickly assembled, and they began to attack the Fifth Battalion on the west side.

It's just that these little devils obviously overestimated their abilities. After fighting, their 800-man army had already suffered dozens of casualties.

A force of more than 700 people does not have much advantage against the 400-man team of the fifth battalion.

What's more, under the command of Zhou Wenbo, the four field artillery continued to provide shelling support.

"Da da da."

"Clap clap clap."

"Suddenly."

Under the command of Wu Ziqiang, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion gathered submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns to fire.

A large number of little devils were hit by intensive firepower as they advanced, and were directly shot to death.

The four field cannons fired shells continuously, attacking the little devil.

In an instant, dozens of casualties appeared in the First Brigade of the Independent Infantry, and the captain of the Major was forced to stop attacking and defend on the spot.

At the same time, the artillery unit of the Fourth Brigade, which was independently mixed in the hilly area, also began to launch artillery support.

They also have four Liao-made field guns on their side, directly shelling the fifth battalion.

In any case, after the fifth battalion appeared, it did restrain a considerable part of the Japanese army and eased the defense of the first battalion in Qicun Town.

At [-]:[-], Chen Ziyun came to the area south of Qicun Town.

On the way here, Chen Ziyun was attacked by puppet Mongolian cavalry.

More than 30 puppet Mongolian cavalry suddenly rushed out, and they came straight to Chen Ziyun.

At this time, Chen Ziyun's military rank was Lieutenant Colonel of the Army Artillery, but because he served as the head of the 11th Reserve Regiment, he was able to wear a colonel's uniform, which was a postal rank.

When these cavalrymen saw Chen Ziyun, they didn't choose to shoot, but rushed over one by one wielding sabers and hammers.

Fortunately, there was a guard company and an infantry platoon beside Chen Ziyun, and they immediately organized firepower to intercept.

A Jin-made submachine gun and a light machine gun fired one after another.

But even so, these pseudo-Mongolian soldiers showed superb riding skills.

Some of them hid directly on the back of the horse, that is, they hid their bodies on the side of the horse's back to avoid bullet attacks.

Some quickly put away their sabers, took aim and shot with Liao-made rifles.

Some cavalry came at a high speed, and directly threw the horsehair rope, which was directly put on Chen Ziyun's body.

Chen Ziyun was dragged away by the horse in an instant, a full distance of four or five meters.

Fortunately, a soldier from the guard company immediately took aim with his rifle and shot the cavalry, and then stopped.

Chen Ziyun's military uniform was torn everywhere, his body was bruised, and his body was in burning pain.

He was so angry that he took out the shell gun and pulled the trigger one after another, because he had intermediate shooting skills supported by the system.

Some puppet Mongolian cavalry who wanted to approach were dealt with one after another.

The covering infantry platoon began to launch precise strikes, and the soldiers with submachine guns shot directly on the ground.

The rifleman was half kneeling on the ground, aiming and shooting.

A grenade launcher also fired quickly.

More than 30 puppet Mongolian cavalry were annihilated one after another.

The terrain south of Qicun Town is very flat, which is very conducive to cavalry mobile operations.

This is why the puppet Mongolian army wants to catch people alive, otherwise, they will definitely gain something by shooting from a long distance.

Of course, the infantry platoon protecting Chen Ziyun belonged to the guard company, and they were not vegetarians.

The puppet Mongolian cavalry paid with their lives for their carelessness.

Chen Ziyun brought the horses and rode forward with the soldiers.

After coming to the battlefield, he quickly understood the situation and got in touch with the Second Battalion and the Second Company of Shanpao in time.

"Regimental Commander Chen, the first battalion and the third battalion are fighting very hard, and we have completely lost contact with the regiment headquarters."

"We sent signal soldiers to check the line, only to find that the regiment headquarters had moved."

"There are still gunfire from the first battalion. They are still fighting, but the little devils have already entered the town."

"The third battalion is surrounded by puppet Mongolian troops, and we don't know how to support them."

"We are worried that once we advance there, we will be attacked by the puppet Mongolian cavalry."

The commander of the 358nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment said with a serious expression on his face when he saw Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun was not surprised by Qian Bojun's evacuation.

It would be a strange thing if he, Qian Bojun, was able to command the troops to defend to the death and live and die with the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment.

And as long as Qian Bojun does this, with his qualifications and status, it is possible to completely control the 358 regiment in the future.

But after this time today, Qian Bojun wants to control the 358 regiment, which is completely wishful thinking.

The officers and soldiers were not stupid, facing a regiment commander who would abandon them at any time, no one would be willing to work for him.

Even these officers and soldiers may directly shoot black guns during combat.

On the battlefield, anything can happen.

"I have already arranged troops to support the first battalion. They can hold all the villages and towns."

"Third Battalion, you must rush to help quickly, and I will command you to fight."

"The combat effectiveness of the pseudo-Mongolian army is not weak, especially their cavalry, which is very strong."

"The second company of the mountain artillery took cover, and the second battalion quickly rushed to help, and dispatched an infantry company to protect the artillery."

"Leader of the fourth platoon, you and the fourth platoon of guards will also stay here at the artillery position."

With a serious expression on Chen Ziyun's face, he immediately issued a combat order.

He personally commanded the second battalion to fight, and began to rush to the third battalion to help.

At present, the puppet Mongolian army is attacking from the north with more than 1000 infantry from the first and second guards.

The first, second, and third regiments of the cavalry carried out harassment attacks on the east, west, and south sides.

The strength of these cavalry can be seen from the encounter between Chen Ziyun and the puppet Mongolian cavalry just now.

Most of these puppet cavalry grew up on horseback, and they can fully integrate with war horses.

Most of them can do techniques such as hiding on horseback, standing on horseback, and shooting immediately.

The three cavalry regiments currently have more than a thousand cavalry troops. They attacked and harassed from three sides to contain the three battalions.

Fortunately, the 358rd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment had six Jin orogenic cannons to assist in the battle, otherwise, they might have suffered a devastating blow.

Of course, the puppet Mongolian troops continued to attack, and their casualties continued to increase.

In particular, they have sixteen Liao-made field artillery to support them, which poses a greater threat to the third battalion.

After Chen Ziyun commanded the second battalion to set off, the second company of the mountain artillery started shelling.

Six [-]-style mountain artillery continued to shell the puppet Mongolian infantry, reducing the pressure on the third battalion's defense.

Sun Xiong commanded artillery to launch precise strikes, posing a certain threat to the puppet Mongolian army attacking from the north.

Lin Yunzhi, the division commander of the [-]th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, got the report very quickly. When he knew that there were troops approaching the third battalion, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The sixteen Liao-made field guns of the cavalry regiment quickly turned their muzzles, and the three cavalry regiments also began to receive combat orders.

A large number of cavalry gathered together, and they quickly rushed towards the second battalion.

Lin Yunzhi's idea was very simple. He wanted to gather the main force of the Seventh Division and instantly eat up the second battalion that rushed to help.

But he would never have thought that it was Chen Ziyun who was commanding the second battalion to fight.

With the dust flying in the distance, the ground was trembling slightly, and the sound of horseshoes hurriedly came, and Chen Ziyun gave an order decisively.

The three infantry companies of the second battalion, with the machine gun company as the core, quickly spread to build positions, and launched defenses on the spot.

Each company's light machine guns, rifles, and grenades build the first line of defense.

Jin-made shell guns and Jin-made submachine guns are used to build the second line of defense.

The combat of each squad is still based on light machine guns.

The soldiers quickly dispersed, looking for excavation bunkers on the spot.

At this time, a grenade shot over quickly, and with the sound of the explosion, the shrapnel quickly spread around.

Some soldiers were caught off guard and began to be hit, dying on the spot.

Similarly, when the puppet Mongolian cavalry was advancing rapidly, the Zhu Mingxuan Artillery Company and the Sun Xiongshan Second Artillery Company concentrated their shelling.

These cavalry also suffered casualties during the rapid advance.

By 900:[-], three cavalry regiments and more than [-] cavalry troops quickly approached.

These cavalrymen held Liao-made rifles and started shooting from a long distance.

At the same time, a large number of cavalry drew out their sabers and barbed hammers and quickly approached the second battalion's position.

Bullets came one after another, and the puppet Mongolian cavalry units had a clear division of labor.

Chen Ziyun looked through the binoculars with a serious expression on his face.

At this time, some puppet cavalry were suppressing and shooting, while some puppet cavalry approached quickly with cold weapons.

According to cavalry tactics, the cavalry should concentrate on charging.

But with the emergence of weapons such as machine guns, if the cavalry charged concentratedly, it would be a living target.

Therefore, these cavalry quickly dispersed around and charged from all sides at the same time to disperse the defensive firepower of the second battalion.

"Battle Commander Zhao, order the 82MM mortars of the machine gun company to focus on attacking the puppet Mongolian army machine gun shooters."

"Especially their light and heavy machine guns, they must not be erected."

"Also watch to see if they carry grenadier mortars."

Chen Ziyun yelled at Battalion Commander Zhao of the Second Battalion, and immediately issued a combat order.

At this time, each company had already started shooting in the face of the charging puppet Mongolian cavalry.

A [-]-type rifle and a Jin-made light machine gun launched intensive firepower strikes.

The puppet Mongolian cavalry kept advancing, but their cavalry and horses were constantly being shot.

As they approached, the grenade launchers equipped in each row also began to fire grenades.

"Da da da!"

In some areas where the puppet Mongolian cavalry is about to break through, the four Japanese heavy machine guns of the machine gun company will fire immediately.

The [-]-type heavy machine gun fired bursts, and each bullet accurately hit the puppet Mongolian cavalry.

Under the personal command of Chen Ziyun, the second battalion showed a relatively tenacious defense.

Although a large number of cavalry from the puppet Mongolian army surrounded them in an instant, the second battalion was like a hedgehog, making it impossible for the puppet army to talk.

In a short period of time, hundreds of cavalrymen began to fall to the ground, and the wounded horses also began to whine in pain.

The battle lasted until 200:[-], and the puppet Mongolian cavalry had about [-] casualties.

At this time, after continuous fighting, the puppet Mongolian cavalry were attacked one after another, and they suffered 400 casualties, which was already the strength of a cavalry regiment.

Of course, these casualties were not only caused by the second battalion, but also the third battalion, and the results of the artillery unit were in it.

The head of the puppet Mongolian army commanding the battle quickly began to withdraw from the battle. After the puppet army commander Lin Yunzhi received the report, his face was ashen.

At six o'clock, he came directly to the front line, commanded the cavalry troops, and made a surprise attack on the position of the Second Artillery Company of Sun Xiongshan.
