Chapter 233 The Beginning of Riding Wars (Please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass!)
Chase and flee.

The two Chinese cavalry galloped for at least three kilometers and entered a hill.

There are many evergreen trees in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it has entered late autumn, the trees are still green. Two Chinese cavalrymen who entered the forest disappeared from the sight of the Japanese army.

Fujimoto, who was riding in the front of the horse, frowned slightly, reined in the reins, and waved his white-gloved right hand slightly.

The Japanese cavalry who were galloping with more than half their horsepower tightened their reins and slowed down. Nearly a hundred war horses seemed to be one body, and they stopped their horseshoes after only a dozen meters forward.

Seeing the commander pick up the binoculars and observe the hills 800 meters away, the cavalry around Fujiwara spread out one after another. It was a formation that could not only guard but also avoid being bombarded.

"Deputy captain, do you want to inform the artillery regiment of this coordinate? It's just that the area of ​​the hill is not big enough to hide enough artillery." The cavalry captain who was also watching the distance with a telescope urged his horse to come closer and asked cautiously road.

"There is no artillery!" Fujiwara's eyes were suddenly extremely cold, and his white gloves pointed into the distance. "It's the Chinese cavalry."

Following his words, hundreds of black figures suddenly appeared in the hilly woods, urging the horses to walk out slowly.

Most of the Japanese cavalry were stunned.

This was completely unprecedented for them.

In North China, although the 114th Division entered the battlefield late, it has fought several battles. However, the northern Chinese army has already retreated, and their main job is to pursue, pursue, and pursue.

The small group of infantry pursued by them had almost no decent resistance, and it was normal for them to be hacked and killed by their sharp sabers in the wilderness. After being suppressed, once the cavalry around the wings and even behind them charge, they can break through without much effort.

The cavalry wing, before arriving in Songhu, already had a proud record of beheading more than 600 Chinese while only having ten casualties.

But here, a group of Chinese cavalry chose to come out of the hiding place and face them face to face. Regardless of the final battle situation, this has already made the Japanese cavalry feel a kind of provocation.

In their concept, the cowardly Chinese should not have the courage to fight against the noble imperial cavalry.

"What? Knowing that our army will not be easily fooled, don't you intend to ambush?" Fujiwara said to himself with a sneer, but the expression on his face became colder and colder. "However, in front of the imperial cavalry, it is somewhat smart not to run away after hearing the news."

The cavalry captain's eyes turned suspicious.

In his opinion, the Chinese cavalry, who were much more numerous than them, chose to go out of the woods and no longer hide. Apart from a little so-called courage, it is worth mentioning, but smartness is far from being mentioned.

From a tactical point of view, the woods hidden in the hills can be defended by guns, and it is not the best battlefield for cavalry. The direction of the city is much better than taking the initiative to fight.

"They are smart because, hiding in the woods, our imperial cavalry don't need to shoot a single shot. The four mountain cannons that follow my forward and stay on the other side of the river can turn this place into a sea of ​​flames. They will surely die. Walk out of the woods It is their necessary choice." Fujimoto looked coldly at the Chinese cavalry ahead who were slowly urging their horses to approach, his figure was straight, but he was explaining to his subordinates who hadn't turned their heads.

"As for escaping, most of the horses used by the Chinese cavalry are Mongolian horses. Long-distance marching is the horse's strength, but short-distance acceleration is not as far as our army's war horses. Let me ask, can they have a chance to run back to the city seven kilometers away? ?"

. . . . . . . .

"Brother, why don't we wait for work with leisure and wait for the devil cavalry to come in before killing them." The young cavalry who had just run back to the cavalry company's hiding place also secretly asked his cavalry squad leader in puzzlement.

"The devils aren't that stupid, didn't they stop 800 meters away?" The cavalry squad leader gently stroked the horse that was sweating profusely, and replied softly.

Looking sideways at Tang Dao who was walking at the front of the team on a horse, he said to the young cavalryman, "Did you see that, the majestic lieutenant colonel of the army is carrying a saber into battle. Fighting is a thing of luck. Fighting is not acceptable, when it’s time to fight, you can’t be cowardly, some blood has to be shed.”

"No, brother, I'm not afraid, I am," the young cavalryman explained with a blushing face.

"Hey, boy, I won't care about you once I fight with the Japanese with real swords and guns later. Remember, after the bullet in the cavalry gun is finished, throw it away. In a cavalry duel, the saber is the real weapon." A thing that can save lives." The old soldier reiterated the key points of the cavalry duel to the young soldiers. "Don't try to hide from the opponent's knife, you will either kill him first or be hacked by him."

"Then why don't the Japanese confront us head-on?" The young cavalry should have experienced such a cavalry duel for the first time, using dialogue to relieve their extreme fear.

"They will." The veteran licked his lips. "When we choose to walk out of the woods, we are handing over the letter of challenge. How could the proud Imperial Japanese cavalry refuse?"

The veteran's eyes narrowed.

The young cavalryman couldn't see the complexity in his cavalry squad leader's eyes.

As a new cavalry soldier in the battle of Jiangqiao in Hei Province six years ago, how could he not know the pissing nature of the Japanese cavalry? They were proud, but they did have pride, strong horses, and superb riding skills.

In that battle, although he and his comrades had tried their best to kill more than a thousand Japanese cavalrymen and won the cavalry battle, their own losses were extremely heavy.

This time, for this veteran, he knew that it was time to say goodbye again.

It's just that he didn't know who would say goodbye to whom.

The only thing he can do is to kill the enemies he can meet.

The veteran was right.

A whole two Chinese cavalry companies, with more than 130 horses, came out swaggeringly like this. Not to mention that the pride of the Imperial Japanese Cavalry did not allow them to refuse, even their commander Fujiwara Kazuchi would never back down.

In his mind, not to mention the same number of cavalry on both sides, so what if the Chinese cavalry is twice as many?

The Japanese army was waiting, not waiting for the commander to issue an order, but waiting for the Chinese cavalry to get out of the hilly area completely.

They are very cautious. What if the Chinese cheat and hide heavy machine guns in the bushes, and they will shoot when they rush over?
Most of the Japanese cavalry came from aristocratic backgrounds. They were proud and excellent in riding skills, and their brains were bright enough.

It wasn't until the Chinese cavalry array slowly walked out of the hilly area for 300 meters and completely entered the field. The distance between the two sides was less than one mile. Then Fujiwara slowly took off his white gloves and threw them on the ground, hanging from the horse's back with one hand He drew a [-] cavalry gun from the holster on his back.

The Japanese cavalry began to move closer together, forming a goose-shaped formation like the Chinese cavalry on the opposite side, using their two squadron leaders as arrows, and the rest of the cavalry were divided into two wings, and 90 cavalry were divided into two rows.

Of course, the two cavalry squadron leaders each guarded three cavalrymen on the left and right, which was to block the swords for the two chief officers when necessary.

The chief official can die, but he can't die easily, let alone a noble second generation like Fujiwara.

If something happened to him, let alone the captain of the cavalry regiment at the rank of lieutenant rank, even a lieutenant general like Moji Suematsu might have to face criticism from the army headquarters.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the first-line army units like this kind of expensive second-generation guys who come to gold-plate? It's fine if these guys are just mixed with seniority. The key is that they all feel that they have the halo of the protagonist.

The gold-plated one is dead when it dies, but the key is that the head of the living one hurts.

The two sides have already set up their positions, each slowly urging their horses forward.

This is the most commonly used tactic in cavalry duels. Give the horse some strength, and gradually trot until the two sides approach 300 meters before starting to accelerate. A saber made of steel can even split a human body.

"Deputy Director Tang, you have time to retreat now, you are not a cavalry." Gong Shaoxun looked at Tang Dao beside him, and persuaded again.

He admired the courage of Lieutenant Colonel Tang, but he didn't think a pure infantry commander could play much role in a cavalry battle.

Riding may be something that can be practiced. Seeing that Tang Dao rides on a horse, he should have received professional training. However, in a riding battle, the saber slashing to see life and death cannot be trained. It needs actual combat. The test of life and death is not comparable to the hand-to-hand combat of infantry holding spears.

Anyway, from Gong Shaoxun's point of view, Tang Dao was joking with his own life, and he was not willing to use the life of a lieutenant colonel with command talent as a footnote for this cavalry battle.

"Commander Gong, perhaps, before I could make a move, the Japanese would be laid down." Tang Dao pointed to the guns on the back of the cavalry beside him and smiled lightly.

Gong Shaoxun was speechless.

It seems that there is such a possibility.
