Chapter 112 Cavalry Showdown
On top of a small hill.
At this time, Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng were leading a large cavalry force on the top of the hill, waiting for news.
"Instructor, it's been so long and there's still no news. I guess the Japanese cavalry shouldn't be in this area."
Sun Desheng said beside Li Yunlong.
"Wait a little longer. If there is no news, we will go somewhere else to look for the Japanese cavalry."
Sun Desheng nodded and then went to convey the message to the soldiers.
at this time.
Soldier Xiao Li from the reconnaissance team rode his warhorse and galloped quickly towards the main force.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong immediately stood up.
Xiao Li rode his horse to Li Yunlong's side and jumped off.
"Report to the instructor, we have found the Japanese cavalry."
Li Yunlong was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Great, we finally found the Japanese cavalry. Tell me how many Japanese cavalry there are."
"Instructor, the Japanese cavalry has six or seven hundred of them, but they are marching on the main road."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately turned around and shouted loudly to Sun Desheng.
"Sun Desheng, Sun Desheng, come here quickly, we have spotted the Japanese cavalry."
Sun Desheng, who was in the team, heard Li Yunlong's shout and immediately ran over.
"Sun Desheng, the reconnaissance team has discovered the Japanese cavalry, numbering nearly 600 to 700 people. Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"
Sun Desheng answered without hesitation, "No problem, instructor. I don't care about six or seven hundred Japanese cavalrymen. Now our cavalry battalion is equipped with PPSh submachine guns. In close combat, the Japanese are no match for us."
"Very good, Sun Desheng, order the soldiers to act immediately. We will kill the Japanese cavalry today."
"Yes, instructor."
Sun Desheng immediately turned around and ran to the team and gave orders loudly.
"Everyone, pay attention. Check your weapons and equipment immediately. We have found the Japanese cavalry. We will have a tough battle next."
After hearing this, the soldiers began to quickly check their weapons and equipment, then turned over and climbed onto their horses.
Afterwards, Li Yunlong and Sun Desheng led the cavalry battalion and, under the guidance of soldier Xiao Li, marched quickly in the direction of the Japanese cavalry.
In less than 15 minutes, the cavalry battalion led by Li Yunlong discovered the Japanese cavalry force.
When the cavalry battalion of the county brigade appeared on the hill.
The Japanese cavalry scouts also discovered the cavalry battalion led by Li Yunlong.
The Japanese cavalry quickly turned around and ran back.
After returning to the team, the Japanese scout immediately reported to the regiment commander Ichiro Mata.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, we have spotted the enemy cavalry on the hill ahead."
"Yoshi, this mysterious cavalry unit finally showed up. After so many days of searching, they finally showed up."
Ichiro Mata quickly turned around and gave orders to the Japanese officer beside him.
"All officers, please note that we have spotted an enemy cavalry unit. Everyone, prepare for battle immediately and destroy this cavalry unit."
"Hi, Captain."
All the Japanese officers immediately began to organize their troops and prepare for battle.
More than 10 minutes later.
The Japanese cavalry formed a battle formation and headed towards the hill.
On the top of the hill, the cavalry battalion led by Sun Desheng also deployed its battle formation.
The cavalry troops of both sides stopped when they were 500 meters apart.
When the Japanese regiment commander Ichiro Mata saw that the cavalry on the opposite side were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, he was very shocked. His subconscious told him that this was impossible.
How could the Eighth Route Army possibly support such a large cavalry force? They couldn't even get enough food.
He said to the adjutant beside him.
"Go to the front and ask which unit they are from."
The Japanese adjutant immediately rode his horse to the front of the cavalry battalion.
"Listen up, cavalry troops on the opposite side. We are the First Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army. Which unit are you from?"
Li Yunlong shouted loudly.
"Listen carefully, you damned little devils. We are from the Cavalry Battalion of the Ping'an County Battalion of the Eighth Route Army. Today we are here to completely wipe you out."
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, the Japanese adjutant immediately turned around and returned to the team.
"Reporting to His Excellency the Commander of the Regiment, the commander on the other side said that they are the cavalry battalion of the Ping'an County Battalion of the Eighth Route Army."
"Nani?"
"County Brigade? Could it be that this County Brigade is the strongest unit of the Eighth Route Army? How come I have never heard of it?"
Ichiro Mata said in shock that he had never heard of a county brigade, so he had no idea what position the county brigade held in the Eighth Route Army.
At this moment, an officer next to Ichiro Mata spoke.
"Report to the commander of the regiment, the county brigade of the Eighth Route Army is just a group of civilian guerrilla forces. They are not regular troops at all."
After hearing the officer's explanation, Ichiro Mata felt insulted instantly. In his opinion, the army in front of him was definitely not a county brigade, but other troops in disguise.
"Baga,"
"No matter what kind of troops they are from, whether they are from the county brigade or the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, destroy them all."
"Hi."
After receiving the order, the Japanese officer quickly led the cavalry to make preparations for the attack.
On top of the hill.
Sun Desheng saw that the Japanese cavalry troops were ready for the attack.
He immediately shouted loudly.
"Comrades, the Japanese are about to launch an attack. Now is the time to show all of them how powerful our cavalry battalion is."
Then the cavalry battalion of the county brigade formed a long snake formation.
The soldiers on horseback raised their rifles, ready to attack.
The battle between the two sides is about to break out.
The Japanese regiment commander Ichiro Mata gave the order to attack.
The Japanese cavalry launched a charge.
Sun Desheng was at the front of the team. He picked up a PPSh submachine gun and shouted loudly.
"Comrades, kill them! Go down and kill these little Japanese cavalrymen."
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion also launched a charge.
At the same time, the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of horse hooves and flying dust, as if thousands of troops were charging.
In just five or six seconds, the distance between the cavalry of both sides had reached 200 meters.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion raised their guns and fired at the Japanese cavalry.
"Da da da da..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The Japanese were equally unwilling to be outdone. They raised their rifles and fired at the cavalry battalion.
However, with the terrifying firing rate of the PPSh submachine gun, sixty or seventy Japanese soldiers fell off their horses in an instant.
Many Japanese soldiers were shot several times. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion continued to fire with their PPSh submachine guns.
The PPSh submachine gun has a huge drum magazine with a capacity of up to 75 rounds, making its firepower on the battlefield extremely fierce.
The Japanese cavalry troops were all stunned.
