Chapter 1181 What a big appetite
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a series of roars faintly came to the captain's ears.
The captain who had just calmed down suddenly turned pale.
"No, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the new regiment is coming!"
"Prepare for the battle, the first squadron is on the spot and drag them down... The second squadron, heavy machine gun squadron, and third squadron, stay here to arrange positions, concentrate all light and heavy firepower, kill them here, at least severely, or we will all die here tonight!"
The troops, who were a little restless, quickly stabilized because of this order.
A hundred Japanese soldiers in the squadron gathered together, then lay on the ground, concentrating the five remaining light machine guns in the squadron on the road, and the rifleman lay around and stared at the front of the road without moving.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the land under the Japanese's feet began to tremble slightly, the cavalry appeared.
"Bageya Road, machine gunners shoot immediately~"
Under the cover of night, although the Japanese had just seen the cavalry, the cavalry had rushed to less than a hundred meters ahead. The squadron leader holding the commanding knife in his hand shouted immediately.
"Dadada..."
Five machine guns quickly spurted out five flame tongues forward, which was very clear.
"Boom..."
Amid the huge sound of horse hooves, the Japanese could clearly hear the sound of war horses falling to the ground.
"Just like this, everyone fires, concentrate their firepower to hold them back, otherwise we will all die!" The squadron leader waved his command knife and continued to shout, his face ferociously, as if he had been injected with stimulant.
If infantry faced the cavalry, if they could not stop them, they would have to be slaughtered, and all the Japanese here knew about it.
So, they know what to do without the command of the squadron leader.
Machine gunners, the best way to shoot is to shoot, but at this moment, they fired the machine gun in a row, and the bullets were shot out from the muzzle. Although the muzzle was red and started to smoke, they still had no intention of stopping.
The rifleman blocked the bullet directly in the most convenient position beside him, and then shot the bullet out as fast as possible.
The dense bullets, caught off guard, caused at least one squad to suffer casualties to the cavalry battalion.
However, the cavalry battalion responded very quickly.
Holding a gun in one hand, shooting at the place where the fire lights are constantly coming out in front of you.
"Baopao... Although the crackling gunshots are very sparse, the counterattack firepower shot by the Japanese is still obviously blowing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry battalion was quickly dispersed.
The leading troops continued to assault forward, and the subsequent troops split into two, directly circling the two wings of the Japanese...
At the command of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, the deputy chief of staff hurried into the combat room with a solemn expression.
"The division commander, the garrison of Songshankou urgently ran into the new cavalry unit, and they were fighting bloody battles now!"
Lieutenant General Fujino sat on the stool, staring at his big eyes, and a trace of despair flashed across his face.
"Bageya Road, God is still standing on the side of the Eighth Route Army, without a position, and hastily responded. With the cover of night, the infantry is definitely not the opponent of the cavalry!"
After saying this, Lieutenant General Fujino's face suddenly turned pale, and then exclaimed: "I understand!"
"The new first regiment has been hiding in the area we occupied and not going back. It is not to destroy many of us, but to occupy this area, turning the Linfen City we occupied completely into an isolated city, and breaking our 6-on-traffic supply line!"
"How is it possible to occupy this area? They have such a big appetite?" the deputy chief of staff retorted with disbelief.
"I didn't have such a big appetite before, but now I have it!" Lieutenant General Fujino, who understood, replied calmly.
Then he stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked, "Apart from the losses of the transport team, how many troops did we lose in the next two nights, and how many mobile troops did we still have?"
"Two and a half brigade, plus the garrison of the Songshankou who is fighting bloody!" replied the deputy chief of staff.
"There are three brigades of imperial troops left in this area where the Eighth Route Army is hiding, but two brigades are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army. After one night, there will definitely be a lot of people!"
"This means that in such a large area, we only have two brigades of infantry and one brigade of cavalry left~ By the way, there is also a field artillery brigade!"
"Hi!" The deputy chief of staff replied with his head down, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
I don't know, I'm shocked when I calculate it.
In just two nights, the five brigades of infantry fought only two brigades, and more than half of them were lost.
Lieutenant General Fujino did not stop and continued to analyze: "Look at our opponents again. The Eighth Route Army exposed tonight has three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion. Even if there are not three thousand people in total, it is not much different. You must know that this is not considered the unexposed force of the New First Regiment!"
"In terms of military strength, we no longer have any advantage!"
The deputy chief of staff retorted unwillingly: "Second Commander, we still have the advantage of firepower!"
"After dawn, our air force can come here!"
"As long as you withstand these Eighth Route Army and find their hiding place, no matter how many Eighth Route Army is, they cannot withstand the bombing of our air force!"
"And artillery...we have a field artillery brigade that can completely suppress them in artillery fire!"
Lieutenant General Fujino stared at the deputy chief of staff and replied: "This is our only hope to defend this occupied area!"
"Order the reconnaissance troops and the guards to keep an eye on these Eighth Route Army soldiers and be sure to find their hiding place!"
"Contact the aviation force now. After dawn, at least two teams of planes will be dispatched to reinforce us!"
"In addition, we have to make another preparation!"
"If the aviation force cannot severely damage the Eighth Route Army hiding in our occupied area, before noon tomorrow, the remaining three infantry brigades in the occupied area and two regiments of the Imperial Army must march and evacuate here!"
"If the occupied areas cannot be saved, we can only retreat and save the troops, defend Linfen City, and then use Linfen City as the foundation to form the Imperial Army to seek a future counterattack!"
"So, the remaining troops in the occupied areas must be prepared to retreat."
The Japanese evacuated from Songshankou did not escape in the end. They were destroyed under the assault encirclement of the cavalry battalion.
Of course, the cavalry battalion also suffered heavy casualties from nearly one cavalry company.
At four o'clock in the morning, the newly formed Fourth Battalion successfully seized two trenches built by the Japanese army outside the stronghold and killed nearly 300 Japanese devils.
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also killed more than two hundred Japanese devils.
After looking at the watch on his wrist, Wang Ping knew that the action tonight was about to end!
