Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 75 Incompetent Fury!
Saw the Japanese cavalry enter the range.

"Fire."

Li Yunlong gave the order to shoot.

"Da da da…"

More than 200 firing points and hundreds of rifles opened fire at the same time, and tracer bullets turned into streaks of light in the dark night and shot towards the Japanese cavalry.

"Puff puff…"

The dull sound of bullets hitting flesh rang out among the charging Japanese cavalry formations.

The Japanese cavalry were immediately thrown to the ground.

In a short while, a squadron of Japanese cavalry was shot to death.

Although Li Yunlong ordered that the military horses should not be shot as much as possible, it was dark in the middle of the night and the Japanese cavalry holding torches could not be seen clearly once they were shot. In the end, only about twenty military horses were captured by the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment.

Several of the military horses were injured, and the rest of the military horses and Japanese cavalry were all shot to death.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that they only killed one Japanese cavalry squadron, Li Yunlong secretly said it was a pity and shouted loudly.

The New 200st Regiment had a firepower network consisting of more than light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and hundreds of rifles. They had sufficient ammunition and experienced machine gunners. Not to mention a Japanese cavalry regiment, even if a Japanese cavalry brigade launched a charge, the New st Regiment could shoot all of them.

This terrain was carefully selected by Li Yunlong and the second battalion commander, making it difficult for the Japanese cavalry to encircle them from both wings.

However, it is also very good to be able to kill a Japanese cavalry squadron.

Li Yunlong estimated that the Japanese cavalry and infantry would not dare to attack easily in the short term.

I got the upper hand tonight, I have to run away quickly.

Otherwise, when the Japanese army arrives with mountain artillery and field artillery, the New 1st Regiment will be in danger.

Although the New 1st Regiment had enough firepower points, they were still not enough to fill the gaps in the Japanese field artillery regiment.

The wind was blowing hard.

Immediately, Li Yunlong led the soldiers to retreat quickly with the wounded.

……

"idiot."

Seeing the 2nd Cavalry Squadron being completely wiped out by the salvo of 200 fire points, Takeda Yonehachiro was furious, but at the same time he was sweating coldly.

so close.

If the division headquarters had not reminded this Eighth Route Army unit of its powerful firepower.

He must have just ordered the entire cavalry regiment to attack.

The entire cavalry regiment will suffer heavy losses, or even be wiped out.

"Colonel, will your cavalry continue the attack?"

An infantry battalion captain walked up to Takeda Yonehachiro, who had a gloomy face, and asked in a deep voice.

More and more Japanese infantry gathered around, and together with the Japanese cavalry, there were almost 3000 people.

Takeda Yonehachiro asked in a deep voice, "Did you bring any artillery units?"

The infantry captain shook his head.

Because it was a pursuit, not only did the Japanese infantry not carry artillery, even the artillery squadron of the 28th Cavalry Regiment did not carry mortars and artillery shells.

Only the grenadiers carried grenade launchers and grenades, but in small numbers.

Moreover, the power of grenade launchers and grenades is relatively poor, not suitable for artillery coverage, and only suitable for precise shooting, and cannot destroy 200 firing points as quickly as possible.

Without artillery to plow the enemy positions, it would be absolutely impossible to charge forward with infantry and cavalry alone.

"Request artillery support from division headquarters immediately."

Takeda Yonehachiro looked at the communications staff officer beside him.

"Hi."

The communications staff officer suddenly lowered his head, turned on the radio, and called directly to the division headquarters in Japanese.

The Japanese captain said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, it will take quite some time for the artillery to arrive with their cannons. What if the enemy escapes?"

There are no professional artillery observers here, so it is impossible to guide artillery fire beyond visual range, and even if there are artillery observers, it would be difficult to do so.

So now all they could do was wait for the artillery to bring the cannons and shells over. "That's a good question," Takeda Yonehachiro said. "Then please, infantry, continue to attack the enemy positions to prevent them from escaping."

The enemy had more than 200 fire points, and Takeda Yonehachiro had no intention of attacking before the artillery arrived.

If the cavalry charge does not destroy the Chinese army's firepower points, it will be suicidal.

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army was too strong. The Japanese captain finally stamped his feet, gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Order the 1st Company, the 2nd Infantry Squadron to attack."

The Japanese captain was afraid that his infantry would suffer heavy losses, but he was even more afraid that the enemy would run away.

The division headquarters has issued a death order to wipe out this enemy group and chop off all their heads to build a memorial.

There are more devils heading this way.

After receiving the order from the captain, the more than 2 people of the Japanese Infantry Squadron 50 had no choice but to bite the bullet and deploy a skirmish line to attack the position of the New st Regiment.

The Japs attacked and fired at the same time, as if this could give the soldiers more courage.

However, contrary to the expectations of the Japanese captain and Takeda Yonehachiro, the 2nd Infantry Squad slowly attacked the enemy's position, and the enemy did not open fire.

"Baka." Takeda Yonehachiro was furious. "The enemy ran away, chase them."

Immediately, Takeda Yonehachiro and the Japanese captain led their troops to chase after them.

However, having learned the lesson of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron being wiped out, the Japanese cavalry and infantry only dared to chase slowly for fear of being ambushed again.

While chasing, the Japanese waited for the reinforcements, the artillery battalion, to arrive by car.

……

Li Yunlong led his troops on a gallop and arrived at the Tao River.

A squad of soldiers from the New 1st Regiment's 3rd Battalion had already been waiting here. The squad leader reported to Li Yunlong, "Commander, the political commissar asked me to wait for you here. Explosives have been placed on the bridge. We'll blow it up once our main force crosses the river."

"Haha, good." Li Yunlong laughed with satisfaction, "Soldiers, hurry up and cross the bridge."

He knew that the Japanese infantry and cavalry were hanging behind him not far away.

After the main force crosses the bridge, the New 1st Regiment will be able to completely escape the Japanese pursuit.

Soon, Li Yunlong led the soldiers to rush across the bridge. Seeing that the soldiers had already crossed the bridge, the sound of Japanese gunfire was heard in the distance. The squad leader lit the explosive pack and then ran away with the soldiers.

"boom!"

A ball of fire suddenly rose up, debris flew everywhere, and the stone bridge was blown off.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese infantry and cavalry rushed over and opened fire at the other side of the river.

"idiot."

Takeda Yonehachiro jumped off his horse, swung the colonel's sword in his hand, and slashed wildly at the air.

Incompetent rage.

……

"idiot."

The news that the Chinese army blew up the bridge and escaped soon reached the 20th Division Command.

The commander of the 20th Division, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, drew his command knife in anger and shock and chopped the table and map in front of him into pieces.

What made him extremely angry was.

Unexpectedly, a Chinese army attacked his field artillery position right under the noses of tens of thousands of locust soldiers, and not only succeeded.

Moreover, he ran away.

This is simply the 20th Division and a great shame for Kawagishi Fumisaburo.

Scholars can be killed but not humiliated.

At this moment, Kawaishi Fumisaburo felt as if someone had suddenly stabbed him in the anus with the Thousand Years of Death. When he turned around, the person had already run away.

My anus hurts and feels very uncomfortable.

The 20th Division was invincible wherever it went and had never suffered such a loss.

Chief of Staff Colonel Kyuzo Kitamura also felt a surge of frustration in his chest, unable to either release or swallow it. He asked, "Your Excellency, this enemy group can't get far. Should we send an infantry brigade and cavalry regiment to pursue them?"
