Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 142 Unexpectedly
The cavalry is the nemesis of the infantry. In front of the cavalry, the infantry has only the fate of being slaughtered!
This battlefield truth is not only believed by the Japanese army, but also by the Eighth Route Army.

After hearing Wang Ping's plan to wipe out the devil's cavalry brigade, not only did the faces of several people not show the expected fanaticism and excitement, but they looked worried. No one was optimistic about this battle that had not yet started.

Wang Ping didn't blame them.

In Wang Ping's memory, whether it was the period of the Red Army or the period of the Eighth Route Army, the first battle he encountered with a large-scale cavalry was the Western Expedition during the period of the Red Army.

With so many elites of the Red Army, there was almost no room for retaliation in front of the Ma's army, a pure cavalry.

After this brutal bloody battle, although the Red Army has not yet reached the point where it will change color when talking about cavalry.However, everyone is full of fear of the cavalry, and will never provoke the cavalry unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, only Wang Ping knew that the reason why the Red Army was defeated by Ma Jiajun was that apart from various other reasons, one very important reason was that the Red Army had no experience in dealing with cavalry and did not know how to use automatic weapons together when facing cavalry. .

Wang Ping also knew that in other military powers today, because of the large number of tank troops, the cavalry, which had no room to fight back against the tanks, had been completely eliminated by those countries.

Only in the Asian battlefield, because the equipment of the troops is generally backward, can the cavalry be used.

In the absence of heavy weapons such as tanks, although cavalry is called the nemesis of infantry.But Wang Ping knew that there was a weapon in his army, which could also be called the nemesis of the cavalry, and that was light and heavy machine guns!

The seven heavy machine guns of the Independence Regiment, plus the six heavy machine guns just captured by the Japanese army, add up to thirteen.

With so many machine guns lined up and firing together, even if the Japanese army dispatched [-] cavalry at a time, it would be impossible to break through the dense intercepting firepower net fired by so many machine guns.

Wang Ping didn't express his own analysis and ideas, and there were too many involved.And even if you say it all, everyone may not believe it.After all, the common sense that cavalry is feasible as infantry has been deeply ingrained in their minds.With just a few words, it is impossible to convince them.Unless Wang Ping proves it to them with facts, they will never believe it.

Therefore, Wang Ping did not explain, and directly ordered: "I must eat this cavalry brigade from the Japanese army, otherwise I will feel sorry for the comrades who died on the battlefield!"

"Also, don't worry, everyone. If I'm not sure about taking down the Japanese cavalry brigade, I won't make up my mind."

"The next thing everyone needs to do is to execute the order. I also plan to tell you through this battle that the cavalry has weaknesses before the infantry, and it is not invincible!"

Zeng Quan, who has been with Wang Ping for the longest time, even though he was still very worried, finally chose to support him: "Leader, give the order!"

"The first battalion suffered the most casualties, so you don't want to participate in the next battle against the Japanese cavalry!" Wang Ping didn't hesitate, and started to give orders directly.

Although Zhang Qing was worried about defeating the Japanese cavalry, if he was not allowed to participate in the battle, he would definitely not want to, just when he subconsciously wanted to fight for it.Wang Ping waved his hand directly and said, "However, your first battalion is not without missions."

"The Japanese cavalry brigade is not an idiot. If there is no gunfire here, they will be alert when they are seven or eight miles away from here, and they may even retreat directly! So, you have to play a show for the Japanese cavalry here and let the Japanese cavalry know. , The infantry they rescued is still there. Only in this way, they will rush here at all costs!"

"A company from the second battalion and the third battalion, plus all the heavy machine guns of the whole regiment and the heavy machine guns that captured the devils, follow me to an open field more than three miles ahead to clean up the devils and eat them!"

Fighting against cavalry in the plains, isn't that death?This idea immediately came to mind.

Out of trust in the leader just now, everyone chose to trust the leader.

Now hearing that the head of the regiment planned to fight with the cavalry on the plain and made such a low-level mistake, all the subordinates became worried again.

Wang Ping came to his senses suddenly, and in order to dispel everyone's worries, he explained directly: "Since I chose to deal with the devil cavalry in the plain, I must have thought of a way."

"The reason why we choose to fight on the plains that are conducive to the cavalry's attack instead of the mountainous areas that are beneficial to us is because the cavalry will be very cautious when fighting in the mountainous areas. If one is not good, the Japanese cavalry will die when they see the situation is not good. "

"But it's different in the plains. They will definitely think that they are invincible in the plains, and they will be defiant when facing us. Pay the price for underestimating the enemy!"

"Okay, everyone just follow the order and fight with me, Wang Ping, and you will definitely not suffer!"

Attacked and harassed by the First Company of the Independent Regiment along the way, the Japanese cavalry brigade walked for an entire hour and a half, and lost more than 30 cavalrymen.

At this time, the cavalry captain, who was hurrying on his way, could already hear the faint sound of guns coming from the ambush battlefield.

"Yo Xi, the infantry is still insisting. Soldiers, speed up to reinforce the infantry, and cooperate with the infantry to destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army that besieged them. Kill it!" The captain waved his command knife and ordered loudly.

Soon, they rushed to the grave that Wang Ping had prepared for them.

On a piece of flat land with a front width of more than 50 meters and slopes on both sides, which was not suitable for hiding in an ambush at all, a bunker made of sandbags was temporarily piled up in front of them, blocking the passage for their infantry reinforcements.

Seeing the blocking position in front of him for the first time, the captain of the Japanese army suddenly had an idea in his heart: "The Eighth Route Army is crazy!"

With such good terrain, the cavalry could reach the Eighth Route Army's blocking position with a single charge.

As for the bunkers they piled up with sandbags, they were useless in front of the cavalry.

The fast galloping horses only need one jump to easily cross the bunker, and then trample the Eighth Route Army behind the bunker into a pulp.

Although it is not clear why the Eighth Route Army chose this place to block him, the captain of the Japanese army was very happy, and then shouted arrogantly: "The stupid Eighth Route Army must have never seen the powerful assault capabilities of the Imperial Japanese Cavalry. In this case, the warriors Ladies and gentlemen, let Tubalu see our fighting power today! Let them pay for their contempt!"

Attacking the Eighth Route Army on the flat ground did not have much prepared defense line. In the eyes of many Japanese troops, it was a matter of easy grasp.

Therefore, as soon as the captain's scream spread, several captains rushed over to ask for a fight.

"Your Excellency Captain, the Eighth Route Army on the other side will be handed over to my No. [-] Squadron, and I promise to kill them all!"

"My No. [-] Squadron can do it too, please order the captain!"
