Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 857 Arrogant cavalry (second update!)

In the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Xiangfen County, Major General Kawaguchi stood in front of the sand table with a serious face.

Seven or eight staff officers continued to mark the latest battle situation on the map in front of the brigade head for the brigade head's reference!
You must know that this is the first time that Major General Kawaguchi has commanded such a large-scale operation since he took office as the head of the brigade, and he must guarantee victory.Only in this way will your command ability be recognized by your superiors and subordinates, and you will secure the position of brigade commander!

Seeing the signs on the map that symbolized the imperial army's nine-route attacking force gradually gathering towards the battlefield, Major General Kawaguchi was very satisfied and confident that the heavy encirclement and suppression that he personally formulated and commanded would surely win unprecedented victories.

Suddenly, the chief of staff rushed in, his face could not tell whether he was excited or dignified.

"General, except for the cavalry brigade, the other two offensive troops we sent out were all attacked by the Eighth Route Army..."

Major General Kawaguchi frowned, stared at the chief of staff and asked the most critical question: "Whether it is an attack or a sneak attack, we have to figure it out..."

"It's a sneak attack..." the chief of staff immediately realized.

"There were not many Eighth Route Army attacking them. They all acted in units of platoons, and the casualties they caused were not too great. However, the frequency of their sneak attacks was too high. The accumulation of small numbers made the casualties very large, and the troops marched Because of these sneak attacks, the speed has slowed down a lot!"

Major General Kawaguchi immediately relaxed his tense nerves, and he replied with a long breath: "It is normal for the Eighth Route Army to attack us!"

"There are a lot of Eighth Route Army troops gathered around Xiangfen County. They can't just watch our troops attack their backs."

"Order several captains, don't worry, fight steadily, and advance to the battlefield bit by bit. Order the attacking troops of the three battalions on the dead front line. While ensuring the offensive and putting pressure on the Eighth Route Army, they must control the casualties of the troops! Aviation, Artillery is our heavy firepower advantage, we must use it as much as possible on the battlefield!"

"We have plenty of time to fight with the new regiment, and we have air support, artillery superiority, and a steady stream of logistical supplies. The longer the entire encirclement and suppression campaign drags on, the better for us!"

"Hey... I will give you an order right away!"

The cavalry battalion of the new regiment was stationed. After receiving the order from the regiment headquarters, the cavalry battalion commander Ma Houshou's face was quickly covered by a fanatical expression.

On the spot, the cadres above the company were anxiously gathered together and announced the first mission after the establishment of the cavalry battalion.

"Battalion Commander, let us go to fight the Devil Cavalry Brigade. Could it be that the head of the regiment made a mistake... So far in our company, only two platoons can skillfully chop and chop on horses, and the remaining platoon has just learned how to use two legs. Control the horses. And the little devil cavalry are veterans who have been on the battlefield many times, sending them to the battlefield like this is simply sending them to death!" The company commander who had the longest training time frowned and reminded.

The commander of the third company, who had just been formed for less than half a month, followed up and added: "Commander, let alone the third company, who just learned how to ride a horse, and can't even control the horse with his legs freely!"

The reminders of the two company commanders made the atmosphere in the garrison headquarters suddenly oppressive and heavy.

Everyone was afraid of the battle that the cavalry battalion would face next.

Ma Houshou remained calm from the beginning to the end, without any change in his expression.

The instructor seemed not optimistic about this action either, so he hesitated and reminded: "Battlemaster, should you send a telegram to the regiment commander and ask him to change the order and change the total annihilation into a sneak attack and harassment. Although I don't have the strength to fight recklessly with the little devil cavalry , but guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare can definitely be fought, if it is not possible, we will simply abandon the horses and change to infantry to fight!"

"No need..." Ma Houshi finally spoke, and his subordinates were taken aback when he spoke.

"I assure everyone that this time we will win against the little devil's cavalry, and we will win in a head-to-head confrontation..."

"Impossible~" This is what everyone in the cavalry battalion is thinking now.

Before everyone could open their mouths, Ma Houshi asked back: "Everyone is a cavalry, so they should all know the ropes that trip horses?"

"On the battlefield, pick twenty of the strongest horses, and connect the horses with iron chains. When you start to attack, gather together, and when you are about to meet the enemy, quickly separate them, and let the horses drag the tripping ropes to rush towards the devil. The cavalry is sure to kill the devils and turn them on their backs!"

"At that time, the cavalry who have completed the training will follow closely behind, and the cavalry who have not completed the training will expand the effect!"

The trainer's face, which was still dignified just now, suddenly changed, and his eyes lit up.

After hesitating for a while, he suggested: "In order to ensure that the tripping ropes will trip all the devil cavalrymen killed, we'd better set up two tripping ropes!"

Ma Houshi affirmed: "Don't worry, the trainer. The regimental commander asked me to build the iron chains used to trip the horse two days ago. This method was also told to me by the regimental commander. Therefore, our cavalry battalion must have full confidence in the next battle." !"

The more than 1000 Japanese puppet troops who went to the Second Battalion left Xiangfen County for nearly [-] kilometers in just one day because they were not harassed.

"Captain, there is flat farmland in front of us, with a radius of several kilometers, which is very suitable for cavalry assault, or we will rest here tonight!" the leader of the vanguard cavalry squad reported.

After raising the binoculars and confirming the report of his subordinates, the cavalry captain showed a very satisfied smile on his face, and then ordered.

"The troops stopped advancing, camped on the spot, and rested..."

After finishing speaking, the captain jumped off his horse and sat on the chairs prepared by his subordinates, waiting for the infantry to build up the camp.

But at this moment, a burst of looming roar suddenly came.

The captain with a keen sense of smell stood up, frowned, and shouted: "Bageya Road, there are cavalry, large-scale cavalry, and some cavalry are coming to us... Everyone mounts their horses and prepares to fight... "

"Infantry, set up the defense line on the spot, set up all the light and heavy machine guns, and prepare for battle!"

It took less than a minute for more than 300 devil cavalry to assemble, and then formed a huge assault formation with the captain as the center.

Soon, more than 300 mighty cavalry came into the field of vision of the captain of the Devils.

But it didn't take long for a smile to flash across the solemn face of the captain, a smile full of sarcasm.

"It's the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army. No, they can't be called cavalry. They should be called a group of infantry who have just learned how to ride horses!"

Then he shouted to his subordinates with a full face of arrogance: "Warriors, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army has come to give us military exploits. Listen to my order later and kill them!"

While speaking, the cavalry battalion had rushed to less than two kilometers in front of them.

Seeing the chaotic formation of the cavalry battalion and their unfamiliar riding skills, many little devils couldn't help laughing wildly.

"Captain, they don't understand cavalry tactics at all. The formation is so chaotic. If we kill them now, we will definitely beat them to pieces. There is no room for retaliation!" A squadron leader shouted arrogantly with a mocking expression on his face.

"That's right, captain, many of the Eighth Route Army's riding skills are very unfamiliar. When encountering such an opponent, it must be the God of Amaterasu who blessed us and gave us the military exploits!" Another squadron leader added later, and then his face showed a smile. The eager expression!
