Rise from eight hundred.

Inoue Koki is one of the top commanders of this position.

Why it can only be counted as one, because there is another officer of the same level as him in this position, and both sides have the same military rank, but different responsibilities.

The opponent's more than 100 people are not under his command. What he can command are the more than 90 people under his command, and...
And those tall horses.

Yes, Inoue Koki is an army captain, but he is not an infantry, but the most noble branch of the Japanese army-cavalry.

As one of the most mobile arms of the Japanese Army on land, the battlefield originally belonged to Koki Inoue was the wilderness where fierce battles were fought. The cavalry captain's favorite combat mode was riding on the back of a fast-moving horse, wielding a sharp saber, Pursue enemy infantry who have begun to retreat from the infantry attack.

Regardless of whether the enemy army is stubbornly resisting or begging to surrender, what greets them is nothing but a pattern.

The sharp blade slashed across, the head flew up, and blood bloomed!
In the face of the iron hooves of the imperial cavalry, all resistance is futile.

But obviously, this mountainous area is by no means suitable for the battlefield of the imperial cavalry. It is only necessary to give the enemy two machine guns in a small space. No matter how strong the iron hooves of the imperial cavalry are, they will be shot to pieces.

Therefore, Koki Inoue is quite satisfied with his current situation. No matter how anxious or fierce the battle ahead is, it doesn't matter to him. His task today is not to charge or chase, but to defend. He just needs to guard the gang well. Regardless of the etiquette of the imperial infantry, it is enough for the artillerymen to show their big shoulders and look extremely vulgar.

Yes, this position is either somewhere else, or the mountain artillery position set up by Goto Koko Nandaizuo.

Compared with the 75-caliber and 155-caliber heavy artillery that were often used in the Songhu Battle, the 200mm mountain artillery is a humble little brother, but here, it is the most powerful killer.

Regardless of the caliber of only 75mm, this is a howitzer with a killing radius of up to 10 meters, and 4 mountain cannons are enough to throw more than 30 shells in 150 minutes. The large craters on the hillside are basically left by these cannons.

At least half of the casualties of Chinese soldiers on the battlefield were caused by this kind of artillery. 4 infantry guns of the caliber cannon.

In view of the lessons learned from the fact that the infantry artillery positions that were too close to the front were blown up by Chinese small artillery fire, the Japanese army's leftist put his four big killers on the basis of the maximum range of the Chinese 82 mortars of 2500 meters. Arrived 1200 meters behind his temporary headquarters.

Of course, in order to prevent the Chinese from outflanking their backs, not only blocking their own backs but also attacking their own mountain artillery positions, the Japanese army's leftist also paid a lot of money.

The infantry left behind was as high as two infantry squadrons, and the cavalry squadron following the main march was also left around the artillery position.

To put it bluntly, there was originally a rear wing defense line built by more than 200 Japanese cavalry infantry. For all the infantry that can participate in the battle, there are no more than a thousand soldiers, and nearly one-fifth of the troops must be stationed at the rear. enough money.

Moreover, the infantry trenches are 200 meters away from the artillery positions in the center, which leaves enough space for the artillery to play. Any troops that attempt to approach the infantry defense line will encounter infantry and artillery attacks.

In the original words of Goto Koko Minami Daizuo: The Chinese are not stupid, if they really want to make such a stupid move, then let the rear of our army be their bloodshed.

This Japanese army leader is not bragging. The four mountain cannons are king bombs in this mountain range. As long as the infantry defense line can block the opponent's infantry from 200 meters away, the flames emitted by the mountain cannons can even melt steel. Not to mention the fragile human body.

Moreover, even if the Chinese are ruthless and use an army of more than a thousand people to attack this line of defense, they will definitely not be able to break through the line of defense within 15 minutes!Don't forget, the main force of its infantry is 2000 meters away, and there may be little way to take a frontal position. If the whole army returns to aid, all Chinese troops who dare to throw away their geographical advantages will be swallowed up by him.

Don't underestimate the more than 200 infantry and cavalry. The two infantry squadrons belonging to the Guarding Infantry Squadron of the 108th Infantry Regiment are both of the reinforced type. It has a Type 4 light machine gun and a grenadier.

That means that regardless of the two infantry squads, there will be as many as 8 light machine guns and 8 grenadiers.

The cavalry squadron of the Japanese army, after entering northern China, also made its own changes according to the Chinese battlefield. They were not only equipped with sabers and cavalry guns, but also specially carried light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and grenades.

Being able to fight on horseback and on foot is a request made by the North China Front Army Command for the cavalry regiments under the command of each division, similar to the dragoons in Western countries that are withdrawing from the stage of history.

The dragoons who showed their talents in World War I lost their advantage in mobility due to the extensive application of mechanized equipment such as tanks and trucks, and were destined to be replaced by mechanized corps.

But in China, when you get on a horse, you can sprint at a fast speed, and when you get off a horse, you can rely on trenches to form a dragoon with combat effectiveness similar to infantry, which is absolutely powerful.

Otherwise, how could Xiong Yuan send out his own cavalry squadron twice in a row, which is synonymous with elite.

With just over 200 people, if they defend with all their strength, their fighting power will never be weak.

Just like the battle of Guanjiaao in the future, there was no mountain cannon to help out. The Yamazaki Brigade, which was surrounded by the [-]th Army with a division, just relied on the hastily constructed civil engineering to resist the siege of thousands of people and finally survived. By the time reinforcements arrived.

Although more than 500 people died in the battle, they were not wiped out in the end, and Brigadier Cheng, who was furious and arguing with the commander, suffered heavy losses.

Of course, that's not to say that the Japanese army is too powerful to do it. The main reason is that the 921st Division has no infantry artillery that can break through solid fortifications. The hastily built fortifications of the Japanese army, it would be strange if they didn't blow them into scum.

But there is no doubt that once the Japanese army has fortifications and defends them with all their strength, they are really a hard bone. It is a ruthless character who is not good enough and can definitely break the opponent's teeth.

Perhaps, although Goto Koshinan did not say it clearly, this artillery position hanging 1200 meters behind the main force was still a bait thrown by him.

It's like a bait hanging on a fishhook. It smells delicious, but if you swallow it, it will really kill you.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the frontline troops were in short supply. The Japanese army had no choice but to transfer an infantry squad from the rear to the frontline.

Therefore, on the circular defensive position with a length of 700 meters at the end, there is only one infantry squad of 63 people left. The most powerful existence is naturally more than 90 noble imperial cavalry led by Lieutenant Inoue Koki who dismounted up.

Two or three hours had passed since the battle started, and the guns were rumbling from the front and the rear, but the scumbag infantry had no results. Captain Inoue, who was at the rear, was quite nervous at first, looking at the surrounding mountains and fields with binoculars again and again.

But one's nerves cannot be tensed all the time, even if they can, they will become numb after a long time. After more than two hours of calm, Captain Inoue began to lie half-lying in the trench and hum a little tune from his hometown.

A few fellow villagers with excellent personal relationships also surrounded him, you smoked a cigarette and I smoked a cigarette, and by the way complained about the incompetence of the infantry in front.

The early spring in Taihang Mountains is by no means friendly, even if there is sun, the temperature does not exceed ten degrees, not to mention it is still in the mountains, especially the Imperial Japanese cavalry who have to sit in this kind of wet and cold trenches. We can stand this.

Tucao is almost inevitable!
Once you come, you will be safe. Captain Inoue is much more adaptable than a few fellow villagers. He hums a few little tunes from time to time and cooperates with them to scold the front-line infantry "Malu" from time to time. How bad.

But this not-so-good state of mind was also destroyed.

There was a burst of gunfire!
"Baga! There are Chinese people, all are ready to fight!" Koki Inoue hurriedly dropped half a cigarette when he heard the gunshot, and ordered sharply.

However, the gunfire was not so intensive, showing that there were not many enemies.

"Baga, hurry up and see what's going on?" Inoue Koshu didn't feel a little relaxed because there were not many enemies coming. On the contrary, his face turned extremely ferocious when he looked at the area where the gunshots sounded.

Because, there is the area where the cavalry squadron puts the horses.

It is cavalry, and there is no one who does not love horses.

On the side of the Chinese cavalry, war horses are comrades-in-arms and brothers, and the Japanese cavalry is no exception. In their spare time, they will also bathe the war horses, and even save their rations to feed the war horses in difficult times.

In other words, looking at the cavalry and war horses all over the world, they are the most intimate existence of oneself.

Because they need to fight on horses, their lives are completely connected with the horses. When charging, if the horse stumbles, the lives of people and horses are gone.

The term "to share weal and woe" is perfectly appropriate to describe cavalry and war horses.

Inoue Koki took the cavalry off their horses and entered the trenches to become infantry, but the horses can't be placed in the trenches, can they?
Putting it on the battlefield is even worse. Once the Chinese come over, the huge size of the war horse is simply the best destination for the bullets. Moreover, even if the war horse is not considered, once the war horse is hit and frightened by the pain, it will be in the future. On their own battle.

Once a huge monster of hundreds of kilograms runs wildly, it is comparable to a small car. If more than 100 horses blow up a group together, it will undoubtedly put a time bomb on one's own position.

War horses must stay away from the position.

When Inoue Koki was planning the position, he found a good place for the more than 100 war horses of the cavalry squadron, a forest not too far from his position, and the position was located behind the command headquarters, which was hidden, and the Chinese should also Not sneaking in from that one.

For this reason, he also specially selected five soldiers to guard in the grove. In case of any situation, not to mention resistance, a warning can be done.

Now, the warning came, the unique sound of the [-] cavalry gun and the sound of the Chinese rifle echoed each other.

What made Inoue Koki extremely anxious was that the mournful cry of the war horse resounded through the mountains.

"Damn it, what do the Chinese want to do?" Inoue Koshu sent a dozen people out of the trench to check, and picked up a telescope to look at the grove more than 300 meters away.

From time to time, in the field of vision of the telescope, blue military uniforms wearing tree branch camouflage appeared. They shot at the woods with rifles, and the gunpowder smoke covered their figures like a lake.

When China and Japan are at war, it is normal for you to kill me and I to kill you, but what makes Inoue Koki's face so grim is that the Chinese seem to not only kill people.

They even shot at the horses shamelessly.

He saw with his own eyes a maroon warhorse galloping out of the woods, probably because of being shot. Under the stimulation of pain, the speed of the horse increased to the highest in less than 30 meters.

This was obviously not shot at the point. If it could be rescued, it would only take two months, and it would still be a strong and good horse.

Unfortunately, the Chinese did not give it a chance.

"Da da da!" There was a burst of continuous shooting, and at least a few bullets hit the horses that had galloped more than 100 meters.

The horse's huge body crashed down.

It fell down more than 100 meters away from the Japanese cavalry's naked eye.

"Dorji!" A Japanese cavalry shouted angrily.

That was his mount. Such a short distance was enough for the Japanese cavalryman to recognize the war horse that was with him day and night.

But obviously, the war horse, whose wailing became smaller and smaller, was already doomed.

If it weren't for the cavalrymen next to him to hold the almost crazy Japanese cavalry, he would definitely rush out of the trench and run to the dying horse.

Watching my comrade-in-arms die in front of my eyes, but I can't go to it to say goodbye to it, this feeling is really too sad.

"Despicable!" Koki Inoue's eyes instantly turned red.

He almost already understood that the Chinese dare not attack his position, so they can only kill the horses to vent their anger.

His guess was right, the fighting in the woods continued, and one of the soldiers he sent ran over to report to him: "Captain Inoue, the Chinese have about 60 people, and they are madly attacking the horses of my squadron, Chief Sakamoto Cao Request support."

"Are there any other Chinese?" Inoue Koki, as the captain of the captain, still has this kind of brains.

On such a battlefield, let him get out of the trenches, and his instinct tells him that it is very dangerous!

"Not found yet!" The Japanese private first class replied honestly, but begging flashed in his eyes: "Cao Sakamoto begged the squadron leader for support, otherwise, in another 10 minutes, all the horses in my squadron will be slaughtered."

Almost without looking at the faces of the surrounding cavalry, Koki Inoue could tell what they were thinking.

No one can watch his comrades being slaughtered by the enemy without doing anything like this. If he doesn't rescue him today, even if he can go back alive, he will be cast aside by the entire cavalry squadron.

The cavalry is not like those scumbag infantry who are dominated by poor people. Many cavalry are of noble origin, and they boycotted him together. Even Lieutenant General Xiong Yuan could not save his fate in the cavalry squadron.

"Order the first squad of cavalry, the second squad of cavalry, attack! Rescue our imperial officers and soldiers!" Koki Inoue hesitated for more than a second before issuing the military order.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

He was talking about rescuing his own officers and soldiers. For this reason, even if something went wrong, no one could blame him.

A cavalry squadron has four squadrons, two cavalry squadrons plus a few cavalry sent out earlier, Inoue Koki spent a lot of money for this more than 100 war horses.

Time goes back to 5 minutes ago.

"I said Captain Hei, are we really going to attack these war horses?" Shen Lao Liu asked a little bit impatiently. "The little devil's cavalry is not a thing, but these Japanese horses are good things! The horses are fast and powerful. If they can all be taken down, I can guarantee that those cavalrymen from Lu Sanjiang will call "brothers" when they meet. "

"What's wrong, Shen Lao Liu, who claims to kill Japanese without blinking an eye, is also soft-hearted today?" Heizi squinted at Shen Lao Liu, who was cautious in making suggestions, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Then how can it be! Don't you want to expand the size of our cavalry! Captain Black, don't deny that these four-legged guys can run faster than our two-legged ones. If we equip our special squadron with a few more good horses, they will die in our army." There are many little devils under the guns of the special squadron!" How could Shen Laoliu recognize the soft-hearted label.

But it's true that I can't bear to kill those big horses. These precious things, not to mention the value of a well-trained adult horse, is worth nearly 20 silver dollars, even those ponies that have not yet grown their teeth, all cost more than [-] dollars, which is six times heavier than him The military pay is high in January.

"Do you still remember what Tuan Zuo ordered us?" Hei Zi's gaze became calm, even cruel.

"Let's use these horses as bait to attract the devils to rescue." Shen Laoliu replied.

"If we don't use some harsh medicine, how can the devil be fooled?" Heizi's eyes were cold. "Since the war horses are here, there must be a lot of Japanese cavalry in the trenches, not to mention how many can be mobilized, as long as dozens of people can be mobilized, the pressure on the regiment will be much lighter.

Tell me, is the lives of the brothers more important, or the spoils of war? "

"That goes without saying, of course it's brother's fate!" Shen Laoliu replied without hesitation.

ps: Fengyue has a whole day of class today, and the code word will be updated when I go home after class. The update is a little late, sorry!

Then he licked his lips: "I heard that Dongyang horses eat soybeans and corn. I just don't know if horse meat tastes good. I want to roast a thick horse leg tonight!"

A group of special forces
Is the style of painting so coquettish?I almost missed my waist!
