Chapter 1015 Fighting the Japanese Infantry Again
The sound of cannons was mixed with the sound of gunfire.
The moment the explosion sounded, it was an order!
The Chinese soldiers in the trenches immediately fired the bullets that had suppressed their anger and hatred for a long time at the scattered cavalry rushing towards them.
"Bang bang bang bang"
Single-shot rifles don't sound like they have much of a deterrent effect on cavalry.
However, only a few cavalrymen rushed to the front of the formation, and they soon became gunmen.
The Japanese cavalry commander's explosive horse was hit by the debris generated by the explosion, and two legs were broken.
He fell off his galloping horse and was bruised and bruised.
The little Japanese commander quickly searched for his command knife on the messy battlefield. When he stood up with his command knife, he saw injured horses and the corpses of their soldiers everywhere in front of him.
"how so!"
The scenes on the battlefield shocked the Japanese commander's brain. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
Occasionally, there would be war horses rushing past him, but the horses' backs were bare...
"Retreat! Retreat..."
The Japanese commander wanted to give an order to retreat, but he only felt a hot, iron-smelling liquid coming out of his mouth.
A violent cough caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood. The little devil cavalry commander slowly lowered his head. Only then did he realize that the clothes in his lungs had been stained with blood.
With trembling hands, he took off his clothes and saw a stone the size of a thumb embedded in his chest.
The stones happened to be concentrated on his lungs and the damaged lung lobes.
However, there were no Japanese soldiers around to help him. He slowly lay on the ground, coughing up blood. What was waiting for him in the end was that his body slowly became cold.
The sound of charging hoofs stopped, but the sound of gunshots was still ringing.
The Japanese soldiers who lost their horses lay on the ground and still resisted.
However, these sporadic Japanese soldiers could no longer make a big wave.
"Commander, more than half of the Japanese cavalry have been killed or injured, and the rest have withdrawn."
The Japanese cavalry were not all ironheads, they were also afraid of death.
Their commanders have disappeared on the battlefield, and there is no need for them to continue charging desperately.
And they haven't figured out what the huge explosion just now was. If they continue to charge, there will probably be another explosion like that waiting for them.
"The little devil's cavalry was probably frightened by us, and next came the Japanese tanks."
Zhao Zhiguo frowned!
Artillery shells were originally prepared for the Japs’ armored vehicles and tanks.
But now they are all used on the little devil's cavalry. Although it has caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese cavalry, in order to destroy the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, their soldiers need to explode the explosive packages.
"Captain, look at the corpses of those war horses. I think they can provide good shelter for our soldiers!" Lu Zheng said.
If there are soldiers mixed in among the corpses in advance, they can use the corpses of war horses and imps to disguise themselves and wait for the Japanese to approach when they charge.
"The idea is good, but how can the soldiers who ambush retreat?"
As long as the explosive package is thrown, the position of the ambushed soldiers will be exposed.
The Japanese soldiers following the tank would easily kill their soldiers.
"Captain, let me take the brothers from the special agent company, otherwise the Japanese tanks will rush into our position and cause even greater casualties."
War is about someone stepping forward at a certain moment to protect more lives with their own lives.
Zhao Zhiguo glanced at Lu Zheng and could no longer see the shadow of a gangster in him. He was a warrior, a warrior who was not afraid of death.
However, before Zhao Zhiguo could make a decision, the Japanese army arrived.
"It seems like you can't become a hero!" Zhao Zhiguo said.
Bingzhou is not far from Wangxian, and is even closer to the position where Zhao Zhiguo and the others are now leaving.
Part of the little Japanese troops marched in trucks, and the speed was not slow.
"Damn it, the little devils are really fast. I didn't remember them being so fast before."
Lu Zheng didn't expect the little devil to be so fast.
"This is a road, not a mountain!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Create conditions for me in a while, and I will use my rifle to kill the Japanese tanks."
"Use rifles to deal with Japanese tanks?" Lu Zheng was a little unconvinced.
"As long as the marksmanship is accurate enough, the driver of the little devil can be killed."
If the driver of the Little Japanese tank dies, the tank will be a fixed target that can be exploded at any time after repelling the charging Japanese troops.
However, the Japs were not in a hurry to attack Zhao Zhiguo's position.
Instead, they sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance around Zhao Zhiguo's position.
"These little devils want to surround us and then let their large army continue to pass!"
The purpose of the little devils was obvious. They did not want to waste too much time on a small position, leaving enough troops to deal with Zhao Zhiguo, and the remaining troops continued to advance towards Wang County.
The Japanese cavalry spent more than half of their casualties to detect that there were not many troops on the Chinese army's position.
"Captain, how many troops do you think the Japs will send to stay?"
"There shouldn't be too many. These little devils are not Murano Masao's brigade in Pingcheng. It can be seen from the cavalry exploring the road that they don't take our troops seriously."
If Masao Murano brought so many troops to attack Zhao Zhiguo, he would definitely leave at least two brigades behind and arrange tanks and artillery to assist.
Unfortunately, it was not Masao Murano who led the team this time, and Masao Murano had no say in the Japanese army.
As Zhao Zhiguo expected, the Japanese army only left one brigade of troops.
One of the Japanese squadrons also circled to the side and rear of Zhao Zhiguo and the others, trying to feign an attack from the side and rear to contain the firepower of Zhao Zhiguo and the others.
However, the next Japanese attack was more cautious. They did not charge blindly. They first sent out troops to feign an attack to test the firepower of Zhao Zhiguo and their positions.
After testing the firepower of Zhao Zhiguo's position, they immediately launched an artillery bombardment.
The tactics of the Japs were this set of fixed procedures, and all the recruits under Zhao Zhiguo were able to memorize the Japanese offensive procedures by heart.
The Japanese artillery shelling did not require Zhao Zhiguo's order. The squad leader took the soldiers and hid in the bunker to avoid the damage caused by the Japanese artillery fire.
"You little devil, you used this bad tactic from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, and you still regard it as a treasure."
When Zhao Zhiguo calmly evaluated the tactics of the Japs on the battlefield, some people were sweating profusely for Zhao Zhiguo.
The two anxious people were none other than Matthew Wen and Tian Kezhi.
They were frantically sending telegrams to Zhao Ziming and Qin Dongsheng to confirm Zhao Zhiguo's location.
