Chapter 144: Unexpected

Cavalry is the nemesis of infantry. In front of cavalry, infantry can only be killed!

This battlefield truth is not only believed by the Japanese army, but also by the Eighth Route Army.

After hearing Wang Ping say that he wanted to wipe out the Japanese cavalry brigade, the few people not only did not show the unexpected fanaticism and excitement on their faces, but instead looked worried. No one was optimistic about this battle that had not started yet.

Wang Ping didn't blame them.

In Wang Ping's memory, whether it was during the Red Army or the Eighth Route Army, the first battle with large-scale cavalry was the Western Expedition during the Red Army.

There were so many elite Red Army soldiers, in front of the Ma family army and a pure cavalry, there was almost no room for fighting back.

After this cruel bloody battle, although the Red Army had not yet reached the point of being afraid of cavalry, everyone was full of fear of cavalry and would never provoke cavalry unless they had to.

However, only Wang Ping knew that in addition to other reasons, a very important reason for the Red Army to be defeated by the Ma family army was that the Red Army had no experience in dealing with cavalry and did not know how to concentrate automatic weapons for use when facing cavalry.

Wang Ping also knew that the cavalry that today's other military powers, which had no room for fighting back in front of tanks, had been completely eliminated by those countries because of a large number of tanks.

Only in the Asian battlefield, because the troops are generally backward, can cavalry have a place to use their skills.

Without heavy weapons such as tanks, although cavalry is called the nemesis of infantry, Wang Ping knew that there is a weapon in his army, which can also be called the nemesis of cavalry, that is, the light and heavy machine gun!

The Independent Regiment's seven heavy machine guns, plus the six heavy machine guns that had just been seized by the Japanese army, all of which were thirteen.

With so many heavy machine guns lined up and firing together, even if the Japanese army dispatched 500 cavalry at one time, it would not be possible to break through the dense interception fire network shot by so many heavy machine guns.

Wang Ping did not express his analysis and ideas, and there were too many involvement in it. And even if he said it all, everyone might not believe it. After all, the common sense that cavalry is feasible is already deeply rooted in their minds. With just a few words, it is impossible to persuade them. Unless Wang Ping proves to them with facts, they will never believe it.

So, Wang Ping did not explain and directly ordered: "I must eat this cavalry brigade from the Japanese army, otherwise I will be sorry for the comrades who died on the battlefield!"

"Also, don't worry, if I'm not sure about eating the Japanese cavalry brigade, I won't make this decision."

"The next thing you need to do is to execute the orders. I also plan to tell you through this battle that cavalry also had weaknesses before the infantry, and they were not invincible!"

Zeng Quan, who had been with Wang Ping for the longest, chose to support him in the end, although he was still very worried: "Captain, please give the order!"

"The first battalion has the greatest casualties. Don't participate in the battle against the Japanese cavalry next!" Wang Ping did not hesitate and began to give orders directly.

Although Zhang Qing was worried about defeating the Japanese cavalry, he would definitely not want to do so if he did not allow him to participate in the battle. Just when he subconsciously wanted to speak up and fight for it, Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "But, your first battalion is not without missions."

"The Japanese cavalry brigade is not a fool. If there is no gunshot here, they will be alert when they are seven or eight miles away, and it is possible to retreat directly! So, you have to perform a play for the Japanese cavalry here so that the Japanese cavalry knows that the infantry they rescued are still there. Only in this way can they rush here at all costs!"

"The Second Battalion, a company brought by the Third Battalion, plus all the heavy machine guns of the entire regiment and the heavy machine guns seized by the Japanese, follow me to a clearing space more than three miles ahead to clean up the Japanese and eat them!"

Fighting with cavalry on the plains and clearings isn’t this going to die? This idea immediately arose in the minds of everyone.

Just now, out of trust in the group leader, everyone chose to trust the group leader.

Now that he heard that the regiment commander actually planned to fight with the cavalry on the plains and made such a low-level mistake, his subordinates became worried again.

Wang Ping suddenly reacted and explained directly in order to dispel everyone's concerns: "Since I have chosen to deal with the Japanese cavalry in the plains, I must have thought of a solution."

"The reason why we choose a plain that is conducive to cavalry attacks rather than a mountainous area that is beneficial to ours is because the cavalry will be very cautious when fighting in mountainous areas. If it is not good, the Japanese cavalry will become beautiful when they see that the situation is not good."

"But it's different in the plains. They will definitely think that they are invincible in the plains and will be arrogant when facing us, which is the so-called underestimation of the enemy. As long as he underestimates the enemy, I will have a way to eat them and make them pay the price for their underestimation of the enemy!"

"Okay, everyone will execute the orders and follow me, Wang Ping, to fight, and you will definitely not suffer any losses!"

Under the attacks and harassment of the first company of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese cavalry brigade walked for an hour and a half, and lost more than 30 cavalrymen.

At this time, the cavalry captain who was hurrying to go on his way could already hear the sound of gunfire coming from the ambush battlefield.

"Yoxi, the infantry is still insisting. The soldiers, speed up the reinforcements of infantry, cooperate with the infantry to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army that besieged them, and kill them!" The captain waved his command knife and ordered loudly.

Soon, they rushed to the tomb prepared for them by Wang Ping.

A piece of front is over fifty meters wide, and there are some slopes on both sides, which are not suitable for hiding and ambushing flat ground. A bunker that was temporarily piled up by sandbags crossed in front of them, blocking the passage for their reinforcements to infantry.

When he saw the blocking position in front of him, the Japanese captain suddenly had an idea in his mind: "The Eighth Route Army is crazy!"

With such a good terrain, the cavalry can kill the Eighth Route Army's blocking positions with just one charge.

As for the bunker they piled up with sandbags, they had no effect in front of the cavalry.

The fast-paced war horse only needs a jump to easily cross the bunker, and then trample the Eighth Route Army behind the bunker into meat paste.

Although it is not clear why the Eighth Route Army chose to block itself, the Japanese captain was very happy and shouted arrogantly: "The stupid Eighth Route Army must have never seen the powerful assault capabilities of the cavalry of the Great Japanese Empire. Since that is the case, warriors, let the Tujiao Route Army see our combat effectiveness today! Let them pay the price for their contempt!"

The attack on the Eighth Route Army on the flat bottom did not have much prepared defense line. In the eyes of many Japanese troops, it was a matter of being able to capture it.

So, as soon as the captain's scream spread, several captains rushed over to ask for a fight.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army opposite is handed over to my First Squadron. Bei Zhi promises to kill them all!"

"My second squadron is also fine, please give orders!"
