I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 190: The cavalry raids and kills the Japanese artillery positions!
"Okay, let's do as you said." Wang Changgui readily agreed, and the two immediately began to divide their troops and take action.

On the Japanese side, a furious Sakamoto Akira has returned to his command post.

He was reprimanding several brigade and squadron leaders under him.

"You guys are all idiots, and you actually lost to the Chinese in hand-to-hand combat, which really hurt the face of our Imperial Japanese Army."

Several captains and squadron leaders were reprimanded by him and lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath.

As for the vanguard of the Huben regiment, after Wang Changgui commanded 150 officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company, they made all preparations for the attack.

Xu Hu, who had already led the cavalry to wait in formation, also slowly drew out his saber, and at the same time ordered in a deep voice, "Draw out the saber!"

The two hundred cavalry athletes spread out on both sides behind him drew their sabers one after another.

In an instant, the sword flashed and the cold light dazzled the eyes.

A biting murderous aura suddenly spread out invisible.

Raising the knife in his hand, Xu Hu looked back at Wang Changgui, who was commanding the reconnaissance company, and received a nod from Wang Changgui in response.

He immediately ordered: "Cavalry company! Follow me to attack! The Japanese artillery position in front of the target, charge with me!"

After saying that, he clamped the horse's belly with both legs, urging the horse to spread its hooves and gallop forward.

"Go! Kill!"

Two hundred tiger and cardinal cavalry jumped on their horses and raised their swords one after another, shouted in unison, and rushed forward with their horses.

Since the Japanese artillery was shelling Dashu Mountain in retaliation at that time, the entire battlefield was actually shrouded in the sound of artillery.

The continuous sound of explosions and artillery not only covered up the sound of the charging Tigers and Horses, but also covered up the warning gunshots of the Japanese rear guard sentries.

Therefore, when some devil alert scouts discovered the cavalry attack and fired warning shots, Akira Sakamoto and others who were reprimanding his subordinates in the command post did not hear it in time.

Seeing that firing warning shots was ineffective, the devils had no choice but to turn around and run away, but they were all infantry on foot, and their speed was far inferior to that of cavalry.

Before they could rush back to call the police, they were overtaken by the swarming Tiger and Knight cavalry and hacked to death.

Without being there, you can't feel the deterrence and oppression brought by the simultaneous charge of two hundred cavalry.

Even the Japanese scouts couldn't stand the oppressive feeling like landslides and ground cracks, so they could only run away.

Xu Hu, who took the lead in the charge, killed a devil soldier who was trying to turn around and resist.

While galloping past on a war horse, he was also sprayed all over the face by the blood splashed from the place where the Devil's Sergeant Cao broke his neck.

Xu Hu suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty god of war who just returned from hell, and the strong bloody smell that came out of his nostrils further stimulated his adrenaline soaring.

His eyes were full of murderous intent. He raised his blood-drinking saber high and roared at the top of his lungs: "Cavalry company! Attack!"

Behind him, [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry responded again with their swords: "Kill!"

This time, as the distance approached, there was a gap between Japanese artillery explosions.

The deafening shouts of killing were finally heard by Sakamoto Akira and other Japanese soldiers in the command post.

Akira Sakamoto, whose face changed drastically, no longer cared about reprimanding his subordinates, and rushed out of the command post in a hurry.

While asking anxiously: "What's going on? Where did the shouting of killing come from?"

While following the sound and looking towards the rear of the command post, he immediately saw a scene that he will never forget.

I saw hundreds of Chinese cavalry, riding their horses and raising their swords, swarming towards their own artillery positions.

The small number of scout guards were chased and overwhelmed by them like chasing ducks away.

A major adjutant who followed out was horrified when he saw this and said hurriedly: "General, it's bad, the enemy's cavalry reinforcements have arrived."

"I know!" Akira Sakamoto roared almost angrily, and immediately reacted, turned around and ordered: "Order the 3rd Battalion to return to the artillery position immediately, and the Chinese cavalry must not be allowed to rush in."

Deputy Shaozuo said with a mournful face, "General, I'm afraid it's too late."

As he said that, he pointed to the tiger and cardinal cavalry on the opposite side and said: "Look, the Chinese cavalry is less than 200 meters away from our artillery position, and at such a short distance, the cavalry arrived in no time.

It was too late to mobilize reinforcements! "

Another Japanese staff officer who was present also echoed: "General, Major Akita is right. Not only can the artillery position not be preserved, our command post may not be safe either.

For the sake of your safety, I suggest that the general evacuate immediately. "

"Yes, General, we must evacuate immediately!" The other devil officers and staff officers who were present all followed suit.

Akira Sakamoto was very sober, and pushed away the two subordinates who were trying to pull him back, drew out his saber and yelled harshly: "Baga! Retreat at this time. If the Chinese army on the mountain takes advantage of the situation to counterattack again, we will will be completely defeated.

Until then, it will be an irreversible situation.

You idiots! "

The Major Adjutant was suddenly surprised when he heard this. In fact, he was also concerned and confused.

Calm down and think about it carefully.

After scolding his men, Sakamoto Akira gave the order: "Order the 3rd Brigade to quickly move closer to the command post, and the 5th Brigade to hold the frontal attack position to prevent the Chinese army on the mountain from counterattack."

"General, what about the artillery position?" Another lieutenant asked anxiously.

"Don't worry about the artillery positions!" Akira Sakamoto roared, almost roaring: "Hurry up and execute the order!"

"Hay!" All the Japanese officers present took orders and left.

Soon, Xu Hu led [-] tiger warriors to break through the weak defense force on the Japanese artillery position and advance into the Japanese artillery position.

Although Akira Sakamoto is a major general brigade commander, he only has more than 3000 troops in his hands.

Because the replenishment of soldiers and equipment of the entire 6th Division was still in progress at that time.

Therefore, when his brigade was reorganized into the Sakamoto Detachment and was responsible for attacking the Hefei area, he could only use a force of the size of the main wing.

The total strength is only more than 3000 people, so naturally there will not be too many artillery.

There is only one artillery brigade equipped with six [-]-type infantry guns and four [-]mm mortars captured from the national army.

In the First World War in Nanjing, a total of nearly [-] defenders were blocked in the city by the Japanese army and wiped out, and almost the whole system surrendered.

Therefore, the devils also seized a large amount of Chinese equipment.

An artillery brigade has no more than ten cannons, so it is naturally impossible to have too many troops.

Among them, there are two artillery squadrons of 80 people, and a guard squadron of more than 90 people, responsible for defending the safety of artillery positions. (Because the entire Sakamoto detachment is not fully staffed, naturally many troops below are not fully staffed.)
If the more than 90 devil guards are equipped with enough machine guns and given an early warning.

It might not be that easy for Xu Hu to break through their blockade with two hundred cavalry.

However, by the time the Japanese discovered the cavalry of the Huben Regiment, Xu Hu had already led the team into a range of less than 200 meters.

This distance may still be some distance for infantry on foot.

But for the cavalry who are already charging at full speed, it is really just a blink of an eye.

You know, the maximum sprint speed of the war horse at that time could exceed sixty yards.

The distance was too close, there were not many automatic firearms, and there was not enough preparation.

Therefore, more than 90 devil infantry could only watch hundreds of tiger and cardinal cavalry charge forward with their horses and swords.

Being approached by the high-speed charging cavalry, one can imagine the fate.

These more than 90 Japanese infantrymen and more than 100 artillerymen did not even have a chance to escape.

Then Xu Hu and other tiger and cardinal cavalry soldiers raised their knives and fell to the ground one by one.

Like a torrent of steel passing through, the two hundred Tiger and Cavalry troops crushed the Japanese artillery positions with an unrivaled attitude.

Wherever they passed, people's heads rolled down and screams arose.

When they roared and rushed past, the devil's artillery position was already full of dead bodies.

Seeing that the national army brothers on the top of the mountain showed no signs of coming out to respond, Xu Hu alertly ordered the troops to stop charging forward, but turned to the right and rushed across in unison.

From the rear of the devil's offensive position and the command post, cut across diagonally.

Then they quickly rushed into the Japanese artillery position. This time, some of the cavalry fired grenades while evacuating and threw them into the ammunition boxes or artillery shell piles left by the Japanese.

As the cavalry roared and rushed south, violent explosions sounded suddenly from the Japanese artillery positions one after another.

Groups of dazzling flames also rose into the sky accompanied by thick smoke.

More than a dozen artillery pieces of various types, as well as a large number of shells, were all destroyed.

As for all this, Akira Sakamoto and others, who had already taken refuge in the trench bunker outside the command post, had a panoramic view.

I watched helplessly as my artillery position was destroyed and the artillery was slaughtered.

Sakamoto Akira gritted his teeth angrily. At this moment, more than 300 main infantrymen were ordered to attack the position from the front and rushed back for reinforcements.

Without waiting for the captain who was leading the team, he asked him for instructions.

Akira Sakamoto roared angrily and ordered: "Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack with all your strength!"

Hundreds of the main Japs and other Japanese guards who had reacted opened fire on Xu Hu and the others.

Light and heavy machine guns began to roar one after another, and some Japanese infantry took the opportunity to rush towards their own artillery positions.

They tried to follow the Tiger and Ben cavalry and fire, but they did not wait for them to rush to their own artillery positions.

It was hit by a burst of mixed fire from artillery fire and light machine guns.

It was Wang Changgui commanding the reconnaissance company, using grenade grenades and light machine guns to fire again to support the retreat of the cavalry company.

When he was still in the Independent Brigade, Xu Qingfeng led his troops to seize a large number of Japanese grenade launchers.

As one of the main companies directly under the regiment, the reconnaissance company is equipped with a lot.

The range of 300 meters is enough to provide effective fire support for the retreat of the cavalry company.

Sure enough, when they were suddenly hit by grenade fire, the more than 100 Japanese infantrymen who rushed out of the position were blown away with their flesh and blood flying everywhere. Many corpses were left behind, and they scrambled back.

When Akira Sakamoto saw this, he was furious and furious. He wanted to mobilize artillery fire to counterattack, but found that his own mortars and Type [-] infantry artillery had already been wiped out.

The remaining grenades could not reach the opponent at all.

In this way, under the support of the reconnaissance company, Xu Hu led the cavalry company to withdraw smoothly.

Because the devils didn't know the reality of the Huben regiment, and were afraid of attacking rashly, they would be raided again by the cavalry troops of the Huben regiment.

It can only be transferred to the defense on the spot, and at the same time, reinforcements are deployed from the south gate and east gate of Hefei for emergency reinforcement.

In this way, Xu Hu and Wang Changgui relieved the urgent need of the Hefei defenders with only 350 cavalry and infantry vanguard troops.

At the same time, in Dashu Mountain, the national army was in position.

Lin Baoshan and his two deputy company commanders were also observing the movements down the mountain.

When Xu Hu led the cavalry company to sneak attack just now, he didn't think of taking advantage of the situation to fight back.

It was really powerless, because there were less than 200 troops left under his command. Counting the new reinforcements, the total strength was only 400.

Moreover, after nearly two hours of bloody battle with the Japanese army, both physical strength and morale were almost exhausted.

Most importantly, they are almost out of ammunition.

There were many wounded soldiers, and there were still hundreds of people left behind on the Japs' forward offensive positions. If they attacked rashly, not only would they not be able to form effective cooperation with the Huben regiment's cavalry, but they might also get themselves involved.

In that case, the Dashushan position may also fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

Once this happens, reinforcements from the national army will arrive in time.

The Japanese army could also rely on the position of Dashu Mountain to switch from defense to offense, and wait for reinforcements according to the danger.

Therefore, Lin Baoguo decisively gave up the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to counterattack.

He just ordered his officers and soldiers to take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and consolidate the damaged positions.

On the side of the vanguard of the Huben Regiment, after confirming that the Japanese army did not follow and pursue.

Xu Hu, who was covered in blood, felt relieved and dismounted from his horse to rest.

Wang Changgui, who finally withdrew with the reconnaissance company, saw this and asked with some concern: "Deputy Company Commander Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"

Xu Hu smiled and waved his hands: "No, it's all the blood of the little devil. How about it? Is the reconnaissance company's loss big?"

Wang Changgui felt relieved, shook his head and said: "It's not big, only a few brothers were injured by stray bullets, no one died. Where is the cavalry company?"

Xu Hu said: "The casualties should not be too big, I haven't had time to count them yet."

While the two were talking, a cavalry came galloping from the southwest.

Passed through the crowd of own cavalry and infantry, and found them directly.

As soon as Xu Hu saw that he was a member of the guard company, he immediately asked, "What's the situation? Where are the group and the participants?"

The soldier of the guard company immediately got off his horse, stood at attention to Xu Hu and Wang Changgui and saluted: "Report that Deputy Company Commander Xu, Company Commander Wang, the regiment and the attendants have all arrived.

The main forces are just one kilometer away, and the regiment orders you to go back and report the battle situation immediately! "

"Yes!" Xu Hu and Wang Changgui were overjoyed when they heard the words, they looked at each other and stood up to accept the order with one voice.

The guard company soldier immediately got on his horse and left first.

"Let's go back on horseback." Xu Hu said to Wang Changgui immediately after watching him leave.

"Okay!" Wang Changgui immediately handed over the troops to his subordinates, and asked for a horse to ride back with Xu Hu.
