The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Baga...it's the Eighth Route Cavalry..." The second lieutenant's eyes widened quickly, his face turned pale immediately, and he cried out.

"Heavy Gunners ready for..."

"Others shoot freely, be sure to block them."

"Otherwise all of us would die here."

"Da da da……"

As soon as the squad leader finished speaking, two crooked light machine guns started firing.

The distance between the two sides is too far, and the cavalry assault is fast, which makes their shooting accuracy particularly poor.

Dozens of bullets flew out without even killing a single cavalryman.

Seeing that the cavalry had rushed two or three hundred meters away, someone raised a horse rifle with one hand and was about to shoot at him during the assault. The second lieutenant became even more anxious, and ordered again: "Aim and then shoot."

"Don't shoot in confusion."

"We must repel them..."

"Rumble..."

Finally, two cavalrymen fell to the ground together with their horses, kicking up a lot of dust.

The second lieutenant's tense nerves finally eased a little.

As a result, he was happy for less than two seconds, and the cavalry gathered in front actually split into two, circled around the flanks and rushed towards him.

"idiot……"

The second lieutenant panicked on the spot, and immediately ordered the two machine gun teams: "The machine gun teams move their positions immediately."

"A machine gun is in charge of one side, blocking the Eighth Route Army attacking from the flank..."

"quick……"

"Bang bang bang..."

Several random gunshots suddenly sounded among the cavalry, and a scream sounded in the ears of the Japanese squad leader at the same time.

The machine gunner who was transferred to the new position had just put his shoulder against the butt of the gun, and before he could pull the trigger, a bullet just penetrated into his shoulder blade, and he fell to the ground as soon as his hand loosened.

"Come on the deputy shooter... Hurry up, it will be too late if you don't start the gun..." The second lieutenant was anxious to become the machine gunner himself.

"Da da da……"

Fortunately, after only waiting for two or three seconds, the sound of machine gun fire rang again.

But the cavalry's assault speed is too fast, and these two or three seconds are enough for them to advance three to 40 meters.

"Rumble..."

Three more cavalry fell down on the charging road one after another, but the cavalry's assault speed was not affected at all, and they continued to charge forward with their sabers raised.

The Second Lieutenant's forehead had already started to break out in cold sweat.

The cavalry had already reached the position 100 meters in front of him, and it would be within a few seconds.

Although the two machine guns fired continuously, their firepower was obviously not enough in front of the dozens of cavalry who were scattered and assaulted.

After the machine gunner tried his best to knock out two more cavalrymen, a sharp saber slashed at the devil's second lieutenant directly.

The second lieutenant raised his command saber and tried his best to block it.

But the cavalry assault is too fast, and the power given to the saber is very strong.

The moment the saber collided with the commander's knife, the tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and he took several steps back to stabilize his figure.

He secretly rejoiced that when he withstood the first wave of cavalry attack, the cavalry who rushed to his tongue suddenly let out a sneer.

Before the second lieutenant could react, the saber in the cavalry's hand turned directly towards his back.

"idiot……"

The piercing pain quickly spread from the back to the whole body, and the second lieutenant fell to the ground with a plop before he could swear these two words.

…………

Yoshio Iwamatsu had limited troops, and the troops he sent out were scattered around Taiyuan, so it was difficult to establish training with them immediately.

It wasn't until after four o'clock in the afternoon that he received the bad news that the attacking troops were attacked by cavalry.

The whole person becomes bad.

The attack force was the key to him dragging the Yizhong Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, and now it has been completely wiped out before it can start the operation.

It means that his plan to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan City has to be declared bankrupt before it starts.

"Bageyalu..." He was very angry in his heart, kicked over the table made of ammunition boxes, clenching his fists, and cursed unwillingly.

"What do aviation soldiers do?"

"The Eighth Route Cavalry attacked our lurking troops with great fanfare, but they remained indifferent in the sky, watching the two reinforced squadrons being wiped out..."

"This is clearly murder..."

"I will sue them to the Commandant."

"If the Yizhong Eighth Route Army occupying Taiyuan escaped and our Shanxi garrison failed to eliminate them, the aviation force would be the chief culprit for letting them go."

"I am going to send a telegram to His Excellency the Commander now..."

"Your Excellency, Commander, calm down..." The chief of staff hurriedly stopped Yoshio Iwamatsu who wanted to send a telegram.

"This incident is actually not to blame for our aviation reinforcements."

"The airport they took off from is too far away from us, and the plane's fuel is limited, so they can only retreat after staying in the sky too far for more than ten minutes."

"Even if Your Excellency Commander dispatches an aviation brigade to reinforce us, more than half of the planes will be on the way back and forth, and only a small number of planes will support us in the air over Taiyuan."

"The eight-way cavalry is fighting scatteredly. Even if an aircraft targets them and launches an attack, the short time in the air will not allow them to chase the cavalry. They can only watch the hidden troops be wiped out."

"You are now sending a telegram to denounce the aviation wing. Not only will it not change the situation of the battle, but it will also cause dissatisfaction among the aviation forces."

"We will recover Taiyuan and besiege the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing, and we cannot do without aviation support."

"We must not offend them now."

"Bastard..." There was no way to hold the aviation soldier accountable, and Yoshio Iwamatsu could only vent his anger by swearing.

After punching the ammunition box four or five times in a row, he stopped, and said with a sullen face, "Let's not discuss this matter."

"The return troops from Northwest Shanxi will not be able to reach Taiyuan until midnight."

"Now that something happened to the latent troops, no one stopped the Eighth Route Army."

"With the Eighth Route Army's consistent style of fighting and leaving, it will definitely abandon Taiyuan in the first half of the night and withdraw from the base area."

"Do you have any ideas to block the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan City? It only takes a few hours."

"Although you can speak freely, it doesn't matter if you are wrong."

The headquarters instantly became quiet.

All the staff members lowered their heads together as if they had discussed it.

The commander has no troops in his hands, and no matter how good the plan is, he can't put it into practice.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was obviously in a fit of anger. Instead of being scolded by all unrealistic methods and getting burned, it would be better to keep everyone scolded without saying a word.

The law does not blame the public, and it is impossible for the commander to deal with all the staff members of the headquarters at once.

"Then we just watch the Eighth Route Army retreat from Taiyuan City?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked with a face full of unwillingness.

The intelligence staff officer suddenly interrupted: "Your Excellency, Commander..."

"The news from the city shows."

"The Eighth Route Army is collecting a large number of mules and horses. Thousands of them have been collected, all of which are used to carry weapons and ammunition."

"After dark, they will definitely take the path into the mountain. There are no troops here, so there is no way to stop them."

"Even if the reinforcements return in time, we cannot rashly send troops into the mountains to pursue them."

"Please think twice..." (End of this chapter)
