Chapter 1368 Flat-fired anti-aircraft gun
The horse, which had lost its master, was still running wildly in panic, rushing into the bushes before slowly stopping.
The battlefield was already littered with corpses, and the terrifying sound of heavy machine guns never stopped.
It wasn't until a young Japanese officer who was charging at the front felt the coldness on his back that he turned around and realized that behind him were only the horses charging with him, while the soldiers on the horses had long since disappeared.
He reined in the horse and stared blankly behind him. Then more than a dozen bullets pierced his body and he fell from the horse.
The gunfire stopped, and the battlefield was filled with the painful cries of horses.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment were so happy that they led several horses one by one.
These uninjured horses are the basis for their future cavalry expansion, and they want to gather these explosive horses.
When this battle is over, their cavalry regiment will no longer be just a "cavalry regiment", but a cavalry regiment in the true sense.
"Signal Corps, send a telegram to the commander to annihilate a Japanese cavalry unit and seize supplies."
Tian Kezhi simply drafted a telegram and sent it to Zhao Zhiguo.
This battle is not completely over yet. The group of Japanese troops in front of them is less than half of the Japanese cavalry. They have to wipe out all the Japanese cavalry.
"Tell the commander of the cavalry regiment not to focus on this trophy. Sooner or later it will be his. Let him rush around the village as quickly as possible to assist the air defense brigade."
Another Japanese cavalry group had already headed straight for the village.
The Japanese cavalry was definitely not stupid, and not all of them would rush into the village.
There must be troops entering the village to search, and there are troops staying outside the village to deal with emergencies and respond to the cavalry troops in the village.
Sure enough, when another cavalry group of more than 2,000 people arrived at the village where the arsenal was located, they did not rush into the village. Instead, they surrounded the village from three sides and only sent 300 cavalry troops to search the village.
Of course, these three hundred Japanese cavalrymen had no good results. After entering the village, the Chinese soldiers who had been waiting in the village for a long time detonated the detonators and explosives that had been installed in the village.
The entire village was turned into ruins in the blink of an eye, and the corpses of the little devils and their horses were mixed into minced meat, making it difficult to distinguish them clearly.
The huge explosion instantly stunned the cavalry surrounding the village.
Three hundred cavalrymen, without firing a shot, there were no bones left. This is terrible.
The Japanese cavalry on the periphery witnessed with their own eyes what a real demolition team was. In one second, the people and the village disappeared from the world.
"Trap! This is not the military factory of the Chinese army!"
Before the dust from the explosion had dispersed, the Little Japanese Cavalry immediately concluded that this village was a trap set by the Chinese army, and the purpose was of course to lure them here.
Otherwise, the Chinese army would not have used so many explosives to blow up this village.
"Withdraw! Report to the commander immediately. The arsenal is a trap set by the Chinese army."
At this time, if the Japanese army united together and had three thousand cavalry, they would still have combat effectiveness. Even if they could not capture Pingcheng, they could still capture a town and then get the armored troops to come and wait for reinforcements.
But Tian Kezhi had no intention of giving the Japanese army a chance to rejoin their forces.
When the little Japanese wanted to turn around and escape, they reached out and saw twenty trucks carrying Zhao Zhiguo's anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
However, this time, the anti-aircraft artillery hit not the Japanese aircraft in the sky, but the Japanese cavalry.
"Boom boom boom"
A shell from the anti-aircraft gun dropped, and even the people and horses were blown to pieces.
Moreover, the penetrating power of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns is so powerful that the power of the bullets can completely tear apart the first war horse, penetrate the second war horse, and focus on the third war horse behind.
The Japanese cavalry had never seen a weapon that could beat their horses in half alive. If this hit a human, what would be left behind?
Although the scene was bloody and terrifying, it did not scare the little devils because they knew that if they did not resist at this moment, the bullets would be on them the next moment.
They don't want to become nutrients for this land.
The Japanese cavalry immediately gathered to attack the air defense troops.
However, no matter how fast the cavalry is, how can they outrun the truck? And the truck doesn't know how tired it is, but the little devil's horse knows how tired it is.
As a result, the Japs chased and the truck ran away, and the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns on the truck did not stop firing.
The little Japanese cavalrymen who were chasing after them kept falling off their horses.
"Kill!"
The Japanese cavalry was very angry. The other party was obviously playing rogue. He chased them and they ran away. The key was not to delay the firing of their weapons.
The little Japanese cavalrymen in the rear watched helplessly as their chasing companions in front were shot into blood mist by anti-aircraft guns and disappeared before their eyes.
The tragic scenes left a serious psychological shadow on the Japanese cavalry.
It is estimated that after this battle, even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will never want to be cavalry again in their lives.
"Captain, there are too many Japanese cavalry and our firepower cannot be used. This is not the way to go."
The weapons of the air defense brigade are quite powerful, and they are also very effective against Japanese cavalry. However, there are too many Japanese cavalry, and they only have this few people. Even if they fight against the Japanese army, if they continue like this, the Japanese army will be exhausted sooner or later.
"Send the signal, divide the troops at the intersection ahead, and separate the little devils!" the captain of the air defense brigade ordered.
At this time, the cavalry regiment and the machine gun brigade were also coming.
The machine gun brigade has abandoned its heavy machine guns and only carries light machine guns and rifles. Last time they covered the cavalry, but this time the cavalry took the lead and was responsible for the charge.
The Japanese army was still chasing Zhao Zhiguo's air defense brigade, and the cavalry regiment followed the sound of gunfire and rushed to the battlefield.
The cavalry rushed out from the flanks and charged into the Japanese cavalry's pursuit formation.
The first real confrontation between the cavalry from both sides begins!
The Japanese cavalry were walked around like a dog by the air defense brigade. Not only did they not cause any damage to the air defense brigade, they themselves also lost troops and generals, which made the little Japanese cavalry very angry.
At this time, the Chinese cavalry regiment rushed over, and the Japanese cavalry wanted to use the cavalry regiment to attack.
But after the first encounter, the Japanese cavalry realized that this cavalry unit, which had made its fortune by capturing, was not a soft persimmon.
Their war horses were captured by the Japanese army, and their sabers were also captured by the Japanese army. There were even Japanese cavalry in the training.
But this Chinese cavalry unit seems to be holding back more anger than the little devil.
The cavalry regiment was of course even more angry, because in their hearts they were filled with hatred of the country and the family, while the Japanese cavalry just wanted to vent their anger after suffering some grievances.
However, what troubled the Japanese cavalry even more was that the twenty trucks circled around and then came back.
