Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1044 Showing Both Hands (First Update!)

Wang Ping kept his eyes on the captain of the Devils Cavalry Squad and the more than 200 cavalry around him who did not move.

Seeing that they were about to retreat, he frowned and ordered: "Target the road between 650 meters and 800 meters, fire immediately, shoot rapidly in 2 minutes, don't save me shells!"

"Target: Highway...distance, 800 to [-] meters, no test firing, just fire directly!" The two company commanders who followed Wang Ping ordered excitedly.

A total of twenty cannonballs flew past Wang Ping's head with a howling sound, and within three seconds, a string of fireballs shot up among the devil cavalry in sight.

Many devils were blown up together with their horses and men, and then the violent explosion came over.

"Boom~"

Before the first round of explosions was over, the second round of fireballs rose into the air among the chaotic devil cavalry.

The biggest advantage of the mortar is the rate of fire, which is more manifested in rapid fire.

A group of [-] shells, like rain, kept hitting the road and nearby and exploded. No one knew where the shells would come from.

The ghost cavalry's reaction speed was not slow, and after a short period of confusion, they sat up and dispersed, leaving the road.

Then, regardless of the troops on the battlefield that had not been withdrawn, they turned around and ran back, wanting to leave quickly.

"The direction remains the same, the distance is increased by 300 meters, and there are no guns with five rounds. Let's fire now!" Wang Ping stared at the battlefield, silently calculating the distance between the devils and himself and their retreat speed, and ordered after a brief analysis.

At this time, some people will say that the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and if you follow them to shoot, you will definitely miss the target.

However, Wang Ping did not fight with the retreating devil cavalry, but aimed the cannon at the front of the devils, the only way they had to pass, and fired when they passed.

"Boom boom boom~"

The sound of the explosion came, and even though it was far away, the two company commanders could still vaguely see the picture of the devil cavalry being blown away in the explosion.

All the doubts just now disappeared, and he showed a sincere admiration.

At this time, Wang Ping's order came to their ears again: "Increase the distance by 400 meters, and if there is no way to shoot ten rounds, fire immediately!"

The two company commanders reacted immediately: "What are you still doing in a daze? Immediately adjust the artillery and fire~"

In less than 1 minute, ten shells were fired.The two company commanders quickly turned their attention to Wang Ping, waiting for new orders.

In their eyes, although Wang Ping was not a professional artilleryman, the hands he showed just now were even more professional than professional artillerymen.

"The direction remains the same, the distance is 600 meters, and the attacking troops that have just retreated to attack the devils have no way to shoot five shells!" Wang Pingxin's order woke them up from their shock.Answer right away.

"Yes, Chief~"

The two mortar companies adjusted the distance twice more, and after each fired five rounds of shells, Wang Ping finally put down the binoculars, and the serious expression on his face also relaxed!

Then he ordered to the brigade commander not far ahead: "Let the troops rush out and clean up the battlefield!"

"There must be many little devils and wounded soldiers on the battlefield, let the soldiers pay attention and kill them all!"

"Also, send more troops to search the surrounding area. Many horses that were not killed ran away. Collect them all. Maybe the first cavalry battalion in the military region will rely on these horses!"

The regiment leader ran for three kilometers with the remnant soldiers before stopping.

Glancing at almost half of the subordinates around him, the captain's face, which had just recovered a trace of blood, turned pale again.

Before he could speak, the adjutant next to him reported with a sullen face: "Sir, the Guard Squadron and the Ninth Cavalry Squadron that did not participate in the attack lost a total of 89 cavalry, all of which were caused by the shelling of the Eighth Route Army. Because of the shelling by the Eighth Route Army, nearly a hundred people were lost in the end!"

"I just counted the number of people, and there are 284 cavalry left in the entire regiment... Of the three major commanders, only the captain of the first brigade has withdrawn, and the other two are all broken!"

"Also, the heavy machine gun team and artillery team strengthened by our cavalry wing were all left on the battlefield, and they were not withdrawn!"

"The army suffered heavy losses, and after losing the heavy machine gun team and artillery team, our firepower on the battlefield will be greatly weakened. What should we do next, please decide as soon as possible, sir!"

The captain of the regiment had a sullen face and didn't speak, but his heart was struggling like a tornado.

With less than [-] cavalry left, it would be too dangerous to continue to reinforce Liu Lin. Maybe the cavalry regiment would end up here tonight.

The bloody battle just now had already calmed him down from his arrogance, and he recognized his current strength.

However, Liulin is too important. To put it more seriously, it is not only related to whether the cavalry regiment can complete the reinforcement task, but also to the life and death of thousands of imperial troops on the front line.

If less than [-] cavalry were left to fight off the cavalry regiment and save the thousands of imperial troops on the front line, it would definitely be profitable for the empire.

Soon, the hesitant captain made a decision!

"Is there any other road that can bypass the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front and reinforce Liulin?"

"Yes!" The adjutant affirmed.

"However, it will take at least three more hours to get to Liulin!"

The captain frowned again: "If there are three more hours, it will be three o'clock in the morning when we arrive at Liulin. I don't know if we can make it!"

"In this way, the troops rest first, and we will immediately send a telegram to the commander-in-chief to report our current situation. By the way, ask him to ask about the situation in Liulin County and confirm whether we still need to reinforce Liulin. If so, we will go around There is no way to go for reinforcements, if not, we will directly withdraw to the station!"

In the Japanese puppet army camp, Commander Yongsheng was in the same mood as the previous two nights, very bad.

The night attack of the Eighth Route Army made it impossible for him to defend against, coupled with the lack of troops and ammunition in his hands, he could only bite the bullet and ninja in the face of a sneak attack, not even daring to hit too hard with firepower.

"Sir, something happened to the cavalry regiment!" Just as he was frowning and thinking about whether there was any way to solve the Eighth Route Army's night attack once and for all, the adjutant shouted with fear on his face as soon as he rushed into the tent.

"The cavalry regiment came across the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army less than [-] kilometers away from the garrison... The cavalry regiment failed to break through the Eighth Route Army's interception, and instead lost more than [-] cavalry. They reported that the troops could only detour to reinforce Liulin, But it will take three more hours, do you want to continue to reinforce it!"

"What? The loss of more than 700 cavalry... How is this possible? The Eighth Route Army of the Suide Military Region has no cavalry, only infantry. How could the infantry cause so many casualties to the cavalry regiment? Don't they think they can run away?"

"I don't know about the lowly position, but they are waiting for a call back!" The adjutant shook his head and replied!
