my bright sword career

Chapter 611 Temporary Assembly
Facing the Japanese counterattack, the soldiers of the first battalion did not have the slightest fear, and also took up the bayonet-mounted [-]-style rifle and rushed towards the Japanese army.

Just when the two armies were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, a group of cavalry appeared from nowhere, waving sabers and shouting "Long live the Emperor!".

These cavalry launched a counterattack from the mountain to the attacking battalion of soldiers like a flood. It turned out that the Japanese army ambushed a squadron of cavalry behind the position.

"not good!"

Seeing the cavalry rushing down from behind the hillside, Commander Yang, who was watching the battle behind, felt his hands and feet go cold.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was born to be the nemesis of infantry. Although it is now the era of hot weapons, cavalry is still unmatched by infantry who do not have a perfect position and a large amount of automatic firepower.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry on horseback first fired a round of guns, and then waved their gleaming sabers and rushed over the infantry in front of them, shouting excitedly from their mouths.

"Da da da……"

"Ba hook..."

Although the soldiers of the first battalion of counterattacks were surprised by the sudden counterattack, they did not collapse, and no one turned around and ran away. After all, no matter how stupid people are, they know that running away in front of cavalry is undoubtedly the most stupid things.

The soldiers of the first battalion pulled the lever the moment the cavalry appeared, and dozens of MP40 submachine guns and Czech light machine guns opened fire instantly.

At this time, no one would keep their hands. What the soldiers of the first battalion can do at this time is to pour out the most ammunition in the shortest time.

And the small amount of automatic firepower is the best weapon to block the cavalry's attack. After the riflemen fired the bullets in the chamber, they threw out the grenades they took out from their waists.

Looking at the cavalry rushing towards the first battalion like a mountain torrent, the anxious regiment leader Yang quickly picked up the phone from the side.

"Hey! Listen up, everyone, I don't care what method you use, what is the use, mortars, heavy machine guns, all weapons that can be used, I will fight towards the Xiaogushan position!"

However, Commander Yang's order was obviously too late. The short distance of more than 200 meters only took more than ten seconds for the cavalry to charge.

Although the rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns of the first battalion poured a dense rain of bullets on the Japanese cavalry as soon as they appeared, they still failed to stop the Japanese cavalry from approaching.

Before the soldiers of the first battalion emptied their magazines and hadn't changed their magazines, the first horse of the Japanese enemy cavalry jumped in front of the hastily formed defense line of the soldiers of the first battalion.

The cavalryman on horseback swung the [-]-style cavalry knife in his hand and slashed down neatly. With the impact of the horse, the head and body of the soldier who hadn't reloaded in time were separated.

Then dozens or hundreds of war horses carried the cavalry on their backs and swung their sabers and jumped into the defense line of the first battalion.

A battalion of officers and soldiers who went up to meet the enemy were either cut down or trampled by horseshoes.

Like a group of hungry wolves gushing out of hell, the Japanese cavalry started killing without any scruples in the hastily formed defense line of the first battalion. Their excited shouts resounded throughout Xiaogushan.

"what!"

A soldier with his arm cut off lay on the ground and pulled the safety catch of the 24-type grenade with his teeth, then roared and jumped up and rushed towards the nearest cavalry. With a burst of violent explosions, the wounded soldier and the cavalry who were killing wantonly died together. , The war horse whose stomach was blown apart lay on the grass and kept trembling.

Although the soldiers of the first battalion desperately used bayonets and submachine guns to fight back against the cavalry who rushed into the formation, they completely lost their sense of direction when surrounded by the cavalry regiments and could only counterattack blindly and powerlessly. The original line of defense was being torn apart by the cavalry. After the opening, the fighters who fought on their own became the targets of being slaughtered.

"Retreat...retreat..."

A company commander lying on the corpse of a comrade-in-arms fired a pistol and shouted hoarsely. At this time, his stomach was cut by a saber, and his blue intestines were dragged out several meters.

At this moment, a Japanese cavalryman galloped from the side on a horse. When the horse jumped over the company commander, the cavalry on the horse swung a saber, and the saber flashed coldly across his neck. The hoarse voice stopped immediately.

Just as the Japanese cavalry started slaughtering the first battalion on the hillside, the Japanese infantry from behind also rushed in. Seeing that the hundreds of soldiers in the first battalion were about to be wiped out by the Japanese countercharge.

"First battalion... my first battalion!"

Commander Yang, who was watching the battle from behind, saw his eyes tearing apart, and wanted to call the heavy artillery from behind to cover Xiaogushan with artillery fire, but the shells of the two artillery battalions just happened to be fired, and now they were nervously transporting ammunition. He felt so powerless.

Just when Captain Yang was burning with anxiety, a muffled gunshot suddenly sounded from behind.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Accompanied by the muffled gunshots, a Japanese cavalry soldier who was leaping and killing suddenly paused, and then saw the cavalry's upper body suddenly disappear.

Well, to be precise, it didn't disappear, but turned into a mist of minced meat and blood and then dissipated in the air.

However, due to inertia, the cavalryman who had lost his upper body still rushed for more than ten meters with his lower body on the horse before falling off the horse.

This cavalryman was not the only one who suffered the same fate. Almost at the same time, the head of a charging horse suddenly disappeared. The cavalry on their backs flung out more than ten meters.

The Japanese cavalry who fell to the ground made a light click, and he was the first to hit the ground with his head. After rolling twice on the ground, he remained motionless.

At this time, Captain Yang suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the gunshots, only to see more than a dozen strange-looking trucks lined up at a distance of more than 1000 meters from Xiaogu Mountain.

It is said that these trucks look weird because they are all surrounded by a layer of steel plates, even the front of the car is no exception, leaving only a small window for the driver to observe.

In the compartment of the truck, there were two machine guns mounted one after another, and bullets the size of beer bottle caps shone brightly in the sun.

In fact, this armored truck was not directly cashed out by Gao Hongming with his golden finger, but an assembled product.

As the war progressed, Gao Hongming discovered that the troops needed a weapon that could accompany infantry attacks in time and deal with infantry and even aircraft at low altitudes.

But he searched the weapons store and couldn't find any suitable ones, so Gao Hongming thought of assembling them himself in a hurry.

He first got a ten-wheeled Dodge truck with a load of 3 tons, and after welding the surroundings with steel plates, he installed a Soviet-made double-mounted KPV14.5mm machine gun on the truck, and installed a protective shield in front of the machine gun. Board, so that a makeshift weapon that can be used for both ground and air is done.
