Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 814 The Fierce Brigade Leader (First Update!)

"Platoon Leader Tang, I asked you to prepare the first big gift for the devil!" Li Wen asked, staring at the devil on the road.

Tang Guangxin replied immediately, his eyes glistening, as if he was waiting for a good show!

"A set of serial mines, a total of five mines, and all of them have added ingredients, enough for the little devil cavalry to drink a pot!"

After hesitating for a while, he asked back: "Captain Li, in fact, the best way to deal with the cavalry is to concentrate all the light and heavy machine guns for strafing. Although our force is small, we are equipped with a whole ⑥ light machine guns and a dozen submachine guns. As long as the terrain is suitable , you can concentrate your firepower to kill the dozens of cavalry that the devils are attacking forward!"

Li Wen shook his head and replied, "These cavalry are different!"

"They are all field troops who have just retreated from the battlefield. Their combat effectiveness is definitely not comparable to that of the garrison troops we have encountered before. If they attack rashly, they may suffer a big loss. The reason why I use landmines is to test the waters. , Judging the combat effectiveness of the devil cavalry by their reaction ability, and then determine how to fight!"

The vanguard cavalry was very fast, reaching the minefield prepared for them by the reconnaissance platoon in less than 5 minutes.

Tang Guangxin and Li Wen raised their binoculars at the same time and stared at the road, trying not to miss a single detail.

"Boom boom boom..."

Soon, the sound of an explosion came.

Five clusters of black smoke rose from the middle of the devil cavalry lined up in two rows.

The stones and soil covering the mines were instantly blasted into dust.

The three devil cavalry were blown over on the spot, and fell to the ground together with their horses.

Many wounded war horses subconsciously scattered around, wanting to leave the road.However, it only took a few seconds for the devil cavalry to calm them down.

As for the cavalry who were not attacked, they reacted faster!

He put the rifle on his back in his hand, and then controlled the horse with his feet, spreading to both sides of the road, in a vigilant posture.

More than a dozen devil cavalrymen jumped off their horses, set up the light machine guns and grenadiers on their backs, and prepared to shoot.

Li Wen raised his binoculars. Although he didn't move, his face gradually became serious: "The fighting power of these devil cavalry is at least twice that of what we encountered before."

"If there is no absolute superiority in troops and firepower to ambush them, the first round of firepower will kill more than half of their troops. Then their counterattack will definitely be very violent. I can see that they are not pure cavalry at all, but He is an elite who can become a cavalry soldier on horseback and an infantry soldier on horseback!"

If the opponent is pure infantry, Tang Guangxin is confident that with the firepower in his hand, he can kill more than half of the opponent in an instant.

However, they are cavalry, which are harder to fight than infantry.Unless the troops and firepower were doubled, Tang Guangxin would definitely not have the confidence to kill more than half of the devil's cavalry in the first round of firepower strikes.

Since it can't be done, the idea of ​​concentrating the existing firepower to kill the devil's forward cavalry poisoning is impossible to realize.

Just after Tang Guangxin thought about it, his face became more and more unsightly, and even showed an expression full of disappointment and sadness, Li Wen changed the subject, and followed suit.

"There is a way to fight the garrison, and there is a way to fight the elite. Don't be discouraged, Platoon Leader Tang. We have plenty of ways to deal with them, but it's a little more troublesome than fighting devils before!"

The renewed confidence on Li Wen's face made Tang Guangxin look a lot better, and then he stared at Li Wen and waited for the next sentence.

Major General Kawaguchi, head of the Devils Brigade, was also blinded by the sudden explosion.

Although the casualties of the three cavalry were small, they were even negligible for a brigade leader.

However, this place was too close to his original station, and he was attacked less than two kilometers away from the barracks, which made Major General Kawaguchi involuntarily have a very bad premonition in his mind.

"General, report from the cavalry, there seems to be no enemy around us, should the troops continue to advance!" Adjutant Major Ikeda didn't know what Kawaguchi was thinking, and ran over to report as soon as he received the news from the cavalry brigade.

Major General Kawaguchi did not answer, but analyzed with a calm face: "Our opponent is not simple. We didn't even see the opponent's shadow, and the opponent killed our three elite cavalry. On the frontal battlefield, if we lose three cavalry, at least we can Kill a platoon of the Chinese army!"

"Also, this is not the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. Usually there are only guerrillas infiltrated by the Jinsui Army at most. It is impossible to have such a high level of combat. Therefore, I am at least [-]% sure that the enemy who attacked us must come from Linfen. !"

"In order to slow down our marching speed and delay our attack on Xiangfen County, a small group of troops was sent to attack us. This is their usual guerrilla tactic!"

"Since they have come, the next sneak attack will definitely continue!"

Major Ikeda immediately asked back: "General, do you mean that there will still be landmines on the road ahead!"

"Then I will immediately transfer the engineering squadron to clear the mines in front to ensure the safety of the main force!"

Major General Kawaguchi shook his head and replied: "It's too slow. If we clear mines bit by bit to Linfen, we will not be able to cover the distance of more than 100 attacks in half a month!"

After speaking, Major General Kawaguchi raised his binoculars and looked around.

Major Ikeda frowned, with a puzzled expression.A sneer quickly disappeared from Major General Kawaguchi's reduction!
"There is a way!" Major General Kawaguchi ordered with a murderous look on his face.

"There is a village two kilometers to the left of the road. The cavalry brigade sent a squadron over to sweep the entire village. They arrested fifty young men from the village and asked them to walk in front of the team to clear the way for the imperial army!"

"Tell the cavalry brigade, I only want to be young and strong, not old and weak, women and children!"

In less than an hour, fifty young men were arrested and brought back.

Under the order of Major General Kawaguchi, these fifty young men were strung together with ropes and walked in front of the cavalry brigade to detect landmines.

"General wise, in this way, the threat of landmines will be resolved, unless the Eighth Route Army decides to use landmines to blow up dozens of Chinese people in front. However, with the style of the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely not do so!" Ikeda Shaozuo immediately complimented.

Major General Kawaguchi's face was not as pretty as expected.For a soldier, it is definitely not a gentleman's action to arrest ordinary people and use them as human shields in the front.If it wasn't because there was no other way, Major General Kawaguchi would never have done this.

Frowning, he continued to order: "The troops continue to advance, but we must strengthen our guard. No one knows what method the Eighth Route Army will use in the next sneak attack!"

Li Wen and Tang Guangxin, who were two kilometers away, had serious expressions on their faces.

They didn't expect the devils to be so ruthless and shameless, and they used the common people as a shield as soon as they came up.

In this case, if the troops want to continue to attack them, they will face many more limitations.

Li Wen said with a sullen face: "If there is a chance, we must kill the head of the little devil brigade. He is too ruthless. If he is in Linfen for a day, our base will definitely suffer huge losses and casualties. We must report this to the regiment as soon as possible. Ministry, this old devil will definitely not treat our people as human beings on the battlefield, and will not care about the casualties of our people!"
