Chapter 2113 Tactics against Cavalry

The sky was bright and the Japanese cavalry were galloping.

Yes, it is a cavalry. Only when there are many horses together can it be called a cavalry.

What annoyed Chu Tian and his companions was that they could see clearly from the high ground that the horse team was not advancing along the road but was heading towards them!
"The Japanese must have received the news. Our main force is ahead." Chu Tian muttered in a low voice, and then said to Wu Duo: "Our people guard this high ground, and your people go into that village."

"Why do we have to go into that village?" Wu Duo was puzzled.

"The two points need to be taken care of. The Japanese have a lot of cavalry. Do we have to keep them all in the circle?" Chu Tian said.

Wu Duo looked back at the village behind the high ground. It was only about a hundred meters away from the high ground and had about dozens of households.

"You can guard that village and fight as much as you want. The local people have already driven us away." Chu Tian said.

"Tell our people to go to that village." Wu Duo said to his soldiers, and then he really rushed to that village.

Chu Tian and Wu Duo had the same idea. Both sides had grudges in their hearts. Instead of being together, it would be better for them to each guard one place.

With the help that Shang Zhenying had given to Wu Duo's company before, it was impossible for Wu Duo to just watch Chu Tian and his men fight the Japanese cavalry without helping.

When Chu Tian discovered that there were a lot of Japanese cavalry, he realized that they could not run away now.

The terrain in this area is open and there are not many places to hide. If the Japanese cavalry finds them, they will be caught up in minutes.

Since the Japanese cavalry rushed to this high ground, it means that they knew that there was a large force of the Northeast Army ahead.

Although the cavalry is fierce, they mostly carry out surprise attacks and will never launch positional attacks on large groups of infantry.

The reason is that no matter how weak the firepower of the Chinese army is, they still have the Maxim heavy machine gun.

However, the Maxim heavy machine gun was the nemesis of the cavalry.

There is a saying that goes, ever since the Maxim heavy machine gun appeared in the world, nomadic peoples have started singing and dancing!
This is a bit confusing and needs to be explained.

Before the invention of the Maxim heavy machine gun, nomadic peoples could travel the world with their fast horses and powerful swords.

But when the Maxim heavy machine gun starts firing bullets endlessly, how many cavalrymen can it kill? Then it will be a life-reaper! Of course, one of the reasons is that the Maxim heavy machine gun is water-cooled. As long as there is water, the barrel can be cooled continuously. Unlike the Czech light machine gun, the barrel must be replaced after a few bursts, otherwise the barrel will turn red and it will be useless!
It would never be like the Type 92 heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, which were air-cooled. The barrel was made like a radiator to reduce temperature by increasing the contact area with the air, and the rate of fire was not fast. Once it started firing, it was like an old hen laying eggs, only "cluck, cluck, cluck". The rate of fire could not be fast, so the Japanese found a unique way to use the Type 92 heavy machine gun, focusing on short bursts and precise shooting.

Well, precisely because of the existence of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the nomadic cavalry could no longer play the game of thousands of horses crossing the plain. The nomadic people no longer had anyone to rely on, so wouldn’t they have to sing and dance to show that they were harmless?
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is all about strength. Only with Maxim's strength can the cavalry be rendered useless.

That's why the Japanese cavalry rushed towards them to seize the commanding heights, instead of using the cavalry to launch a group charge against Zhao Tieying's regiment which was no different from suicide.

The Japanese do not have any good strategists at the strategic level, but they are much smarter than most of the Nationalist troops at the tactical level. They also know that they have to pick on the weak!
The sound of horse hooves was like hundreds of drums beating at the same time. This time, the noise made by the Japanese cavalry was louder than any cavalry Chu Tian and his men had encountered since they started fighting the Japs!
Correspondingly, the horses' hooves dug up so much snow that Chu Tian and the others could now see a line of black, red or white horses in front, and a snow fog behind them!
"There are so many Japanese devils. Be prepared. Don't let them rush in here. Let them rush over from both sides." Chu Tian said loudly.

After Chu Tian said this, the old soldiers' eyes lit up. They suddenly realized the wisdom of Chu Tian letting Wu Duo's company go to the village behind to defend it.

As long as the Japanese cavalry charged towards them, their firepower was strong enough, the Japanese cavalry would inevitably be split into two sides like a rushing water, and then rush over the high ground by inertia. In that case, they would be closer to the village behind the high ground, and would be hit by Wu Duo's company again.

If Wu Duo and his gang were smart enough, they could definitely get into the house!

What is the advantage of cavalry? Isn't it like a tiger into a flock of sheep when charging into the infantry formation? Using horses to charge or swords to chop, as for shooting, it is definitely not possible.

But as long as Wu Duo and his men climbed onto the roof, no matter how fierce the Japanese cavalry was, what could they do? No matter how tall and strong the Japanese horses were, they couldn't knock over the house, even the straw house!
No matter how sharp the Japanese cavalry sabers were, what good could they do? They were not using spears from the cold weapon era, and their sabers could not reach people on the rooftops when they were riding on horses!
"Chen Hanwen and the others won't shoot first, right? Or, the Japanese won't discover them first, right?" Qian Chuan'er asked worriedly.

Since it was already daybreak, from this high ground they could see the woods on their right, about six or seven hundred meters away.

The forest is not small, but the problem is that it is winter now, and the trees are bare. There is less snow in the forest, but there are definitely footprints of people on the snow outside the forest.

And now the direction from which the Japanese cavalry was attacking was exactly between the high ground where they were and the woods.

What Qian Chuan'er said certainly made sense, and the others became a little worried.

But just at this moment, the herd of Japanese horses that were running towards them suddenly stopped!
It must be said that the combat quality of this Japanese cavalry was quite good. They stopped suddenly in such an orderly and coordinated manner!
When the horses stopped, no new snow fog rose, and the original snow fog fell again, so there was only a black cavalry in the white snow field.

Although they are still more than 400 meters away from the high ground, they are cavalry after all, and they still give the people on the high ground a sufficient sense of oppression!
“Fuck it!” Ma Tianfang suddenly cursed, “I really admire Zhao Tieying. He should be called Zhao Tietu. When he saw the Japanese coming, he ran faster than a rabbit!”

Of course, there was a reason for Ma Tianfang's scolding.

God knows what Zhao Tieying’s plan is. At least now there are no troops to be seen on the other side of the road, and the gunfire has stopped.

But now was not the time to scold Zhao Tieying. Chu Tian, ​​who had already picked up the telescope, looked for a moment and suddenly shouted, "The Japanese found footprints entering the woods. Everyone, shoot at the Japanese and attract them over here!"
