Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 242 The Blind Man's Unexpected Joy, Getting Rich!

Kazuki Yamamoto withdrew his gloomy gaze from the front, and said: "The 9th Brigade has to save him. Even if Kazuo Watanabe is guilty, he should be rescued and let Commander Shinozuka deal with it."

"Withdraw the troops and bypass Jiangjun Ridge along the marching route of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment!"

"Ok!"

Kasahara Koizumi nodded, and then quickly left with a command saber in his hand.

……

On the other side, Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji are leading the 772nd and 771st regiments to march towards Jiangjunling at full speed.

Although Cheng Xiazi is very dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's order, he is a party member with a very high level of ideological consciousness, and he will not ignore Li Yunlong's order because of this problem, let alone put the heroic unit of the Independent Battalion in danger .

Back then, when Cheng Xiazi was still carrying the old sleeve, Li Yunlong had already picked up the speed machine, and even Cheng Xiazi's marksmanship was taught by Li Yunlong.

But now, Cheng Xiazi's military rank is half a rank higher than Li Yunlong's because of his ideological awareness.

The designation of the Eighth Route Army is the 18th Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, with 3 divisions, 6 brigades, and 12 regiments.

Except for these 12 regiments, Ding Wei's Independent Regiment and Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment were not recognized by the Nationalist Government. They had no establishment and no military pay.

The combat effectiveness of these main regiments may not necessarily be as strong as the Heihutuan, but their status is not comparable to that of the Heihutuan.

Cheng Xiazi's combat exploits are indeed not as good as Li Yunlong's, but his mistakes are definitely much less than Li Yunlong's.

It is precisely for this reason that he was able to come from behind and serve as the head of the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the 772 regiment and the 771 regiment were still two or three kilometers away from Jiangjun Ridge, and the intense gunfire from there could already be clearly heard.

As the distance got closer, the sound of gunfire became more and more clear.

"Quick! Quick! Faster!"

Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji kept urging the troops to move forward.

At this moment, a cavalry scout who was exploring the way ahead suddenly rushed from the front.

When he was still tens of meters away from Cheng Xiazi, he yanked the reins, then got off his horse, and quickly ran to Cheng Xiazi to report: "Regimental Commander, a large number of devil cavalry are coming towards us. .”

"Devil cavalry?"

Cheng Xiazi was taken aback for a moment, then his heart sank: "Could it be that the position of the independent battalion has already been captured?"

Scout: "No, there is still firefighting in the direction of Jiangjunling, and it seems to be more violent than before."

Cheng Xiazi: "What's going on? Could it be that this devil's cavalry took a small path and bypassed Jiangjun Ridge?"

If he couldn't figure it out, Cheng Xiazi stopped thinking about it. The most important task right now was to stop the devil cavalry and prevent them from going to Huluxia.

So Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji had a brief discussion, and immediately signaled that the troops were scattered and lurking in the weeds on both sides of the road.

As soon as they were ready, a large group of devil cavalry circled the corner ahead and appeared in their field of vision.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground, neighing, and the roar of devil cavalry also reached their ears.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers of the 772nd and 771st regiments pulled the bolts one after another, only waiting for their commander to give an order.

Cheng Xiazi, head of the 772 Regiment, and Xu Shengji, head of the 771 Regiment, also raised their pistols.

The little devils rushed all the way, they didn't seem to notice the Eighth Route Army soldiers lurking in the wild grass on both sides of the road, and they went straight into their ambush circle.

"Crack, snap!"

Cheng Xiazi and Xu Shengji pulled the trigger almost at the same time. Although their marksmanship is not very good, they still have no major problems in hitting targets within a range of three to forty meters.

The gunshot fell, and the two devil cavalrymen who were rushing forward immediately fell from their horses.

The gunshot was also an order, and almost at the next moment, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lurking on both sides of the road also opened fire.

"Tug-chug! Chug-chug!"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

The advantage of cavalry lies in their mobility, especially when chasing the enemy, but their ability to deal with ambushes is not as good as that of infantry.

A rain of bullets poured over, and before the devils of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment could react, they screamed and fell down a large area.

Some war horses were also hit by bullets, but the vitality of the war horses was much stronger than that of humans. These war horses were not killed immediately, but because of the pain, they neighed and ran around in a panic.

For a moment, all the devil cavalry on the road were in a panic.

Except for the devil cavalry in front, who shot back indiscriminately on both sides of the front, the other devil cavalry didn't know what happened, and rushed forward one after another, huddled with the cavalry in front.

Facing the attacks of the 772nd and 771st regiments, the devils of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment seemed to be a group of live targets. Soon, nearly a hundred more little devils were hit by bullets, and they all fell off their horses screaming. down.

In the panic, some ghost cavalrymen fell off their horses, but before they could get up from the ground, they were trampled by the furious horses, making horrific screams.

"Get rich, get rich!"

"Attention, try to raise the muzzle of the gun as high as possible, so as not to hurt my army horse!"

Blind Cheng looked at the tall horses crowded together in front of him, his eyes glistened, and his mouth was about to flow out.

The new regiment formed a cavalry company, which made Li Yunlong so arrogant, our 772 regiment will soon have a cavalry company, no, we want to form a cavalry battalion!

Cheng Xiazi had already begun to imagine in his heart what kind of cavalry unit he wanted to form.

Originally, he thought that reinforcements to the Independent Battalion would be a chore without much oil and water, but he didn't expect to meet such a devil cavalry.

These army horses are treasures, even if they are wounded or dead, they are good things for the Eighth Route Army.

The conditions of the Eighth Route Army were difficult. Not to mention eating meat, even eating a full meal was a luxury, and these horse meat could undoubtedly reward the soldiers and improve their lives.

"Tug-chug! Chug-chug!"

"Crack, clap clap clap!—"

The battle is still going on, and it is still a unilateral massacre.

However, there are more than 1500 members of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, and the team has stretched for thousands of meters on the road, and has not completely entered the encirclement of the 772nd and 771st regiments.

The devil cavalry behind had already reacted, they did not launch a counterattack, but turned around and fled in the direction they came from under the leadership of the regiment captain Kurodo Morita.

There is no way, the cavalry has its advantages, but if it attacks the infantry's position, it is completely looking for abuse.
