Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Major General Katayama Shozaburo made up his mind to retreat, he did not panic at all. In order to cover his actions, before retreating, he concentrated almost all the troops on hand and launched a beautiful counterattack against Tao Jingfei in the front.  [.Com text] forced Tao Jingfei's left wing to be pushed back for nearly a mile, forcing Tao Jingfei to temporarily stop counterattack, adjust his deployment and then turn around to the south.

    "What, the main force of the Japs has escaped?" Du Kaishan, who was about to turn around and fight eastward after completing the encirclement and annihilation of his current Japanese reinforcement squadron, was surprised when he heard the report below.  He didn't expect that the Japanese soldiers who had resisted so tenaciously before would actually escape?

    Katayama Shozaburo ran away like this, leaving Du Kaishan aside who was preparing to give him a fatal blow.  However, Tao Jingfei, who was counterattacking head-on, was tightly entangled by the tail-cutting troops left behind by the Japanese army. He could only watch helplessly as Shozaburo Katayama ran all the way south.

    It¡¯s just that Major General Katayama Shozaburo played Du Kaishan and Tao Jingfei once and left them alone.  But the retreat was still not smooth.  After learning that the big fish in his hand was about to escape, Yang Zhen immediately dispatched the cavalry battalion on hand that had not participated in the battle since its formation.

    Since completing the training, my hands have been itchy since I haven¡¯t participated in the war.  During the Xuzhou breakout battle, Yu Wenchi, a former Northwest Army cavalry platoon leader who was captured when his horse was killed by a Japanese plane and fell behind, and now the cavalry battalion commander directly under the Jidong Military Region, received the order without saying a word and led his cavalry.  The camp was a wild chase.

    Although Katayama Shozaburo started early, when fighting in plain areas, two-legged infantry cannot outrun four-legged horses.  Before Katayama Shosaburo could reach the front line of Wazitun, Yuwenchi's cavalry caught up with him.  The cavalry company that had been harassing the retreating Japanese troops also launched an attack on it.

    Katayama Shozaburo, who was attacked from both sides, looked at the large number of cavalry coming over, but he did not panic.  Because he knew that there was a force consisting of two infantry brigades, one cavalry and one artillery brigades, commanded personally by the commander of the Fourth Division, Shigeru Sawada, stationed at the Lianjiangkou line not far from here, so as to be able to respond to the Second Division at any time.  .  As long as he gets to the front line of Lianjiangkou, he will be saved.

    Major General Saburo Katayama left Koji Yabiki to command a squadron of troops to withstand the cavalry attack, while he led the rest of the troops to urgently seek help from Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru who was on the line at Renjiangkou at this time, and immediately sent the rest  The troops shrank to a high ground and resisted desperately.

    He knew very well that in a plain area, if an infantry without heavy weapons competes with a large group of cavalry, whether it is a breakthrough or a retreat, it is seeking death.  The two-legged infantry could not outrun the highly maneuverable cavalry.  Once it catches up, it can overwhelm your own troops without a single charge.  The Fourth Division has a cavalry brigade on the front line of Lianjiangkou. As long as they can come over, they will be saved.

    Looking at Yabiki Koji who was approaching, Yu Wenze showed a contemptuous smile. He raised the Soviet-style cavalry sword in his hand and pointed at the two men behind him who were carrying identical submachine guns. He also raised the Soviet-style saber cavalry and said:  "Brothers, today is the first time our cavalry battalion has opened. If we can't defeat these little devils, how can we face the infantry brothers? Come on, let's show the little devils what the Chinese cavalry is."

    As soon as the words fell, Yu Wenze and his horses rushed out first.  Behind him, the cavalry, mainly composed of cadres from the Anti-Alliance Second Route Army cavalry, also rushed forward without showing any signs of weakness.  The distance of several hundred meters was reached in the blink of an eye under the full speed of the war horses.  The Japanese army only had time to fire two or three shots, but Yu Wenze's cavalry had already charged forward, either waving their sabers or carrying submachine guns.

    After all, it was a veteran division of the Japanese army. When they saw the cavalry charging towards them, they did not show a trace of panic. They all drew up their bayonets and moved closer together, forming a dense formation with a pair of bayonets deployed.  The formation is ready for hand-to-hand combat.

    Although Yabiki Koji has never been a cavalryman, he also knows that if he fights alone in the plain area, he can only be chopped alive one by one with his saber.  The only way is for everyone to lean together, shrink like a hedgehog, use rifles with good bayonets instead of the long spears used in ancient infantry and cavalry battles, and use the ancient tactics against cavalry to fight the opponent.

    Seeing the Japanese troops huddled together and rushing to less than thirty meters away from the Japanese bayonet array, Yu Wenze did not rush over. Instead, he drew a circle with his horse's reins outside the Japanese bayonet array.

    After bypassing the bayonet array formed by the Japanese army, Yu Wenze took out his speed machine and fired a burst of shots. He shouted to the brothers behind him: "Don't fight with the Japanese. The Japanese formation is too dense.  If you try hard, we will suffer."

    "If we stay here, we'll give them a stalking fight. They're far away from the outside.Use grenades and attack them with a submachine gun when you get close.  Be careful to keep your distance and avoid accidental injuries.  First disperse them and then launch a charge.  The Second Company bypassed them and went after the main force of the Japs.  Let's join up with the Third Company. This time we are going to kill these little devils in one fell swoop.  "

    Hearing his order, the cavalrymen under him turned their horses one after another, organized in squads and platoons, and fought quickly outside the bayonet array formed by the Japanese army.  After avoiding the front of the Japanese bayonet array, these cavalrymen either took out grenades and fired wildly, or picked up their submachine guns and fired wildly.

    His adjustment of tactics caused Yabiki Koji to suffer.  In order to deal with Yu Wenze's charge, the Japanese troops who had gathered together were knocked down by submachine gun bullets from all directions.  The grenades that Yang Zhen equipped the cavalry were all imitation Soviet F1 grenades.

    Although the lethality of these imitation grenades has been reduced due to the reduced charge, it is lower than the original ones with a lethality of up to 40 meters.  However, the number of fragments produced after the explosion has greatly increased.

    Against the dense formation formed by the Japanese army, the lethality of this grenade was astonishing.  A grenade dropped into a Japanese formation could knock down and kill a dozen or more people.  In addition, the Japanese troops were defeated by the intensively swept submachine guns and speed machine bullets. Without much effort, Yabiki Koji could no longer bear the cost of casualties if the hedgehogs continued to gather together.

    Although he was well aware of his opponent's extremely immoral and unsamurai tactics, Yabiki Koji had to break up the dense formation that he had formed to resist the cavalry charge.  If they don't spread out, under the attack of the opponent's submachine guns and grenades, in less than ten minutes, there will be only a few people left in his troops.

    Seeing that the Japanese army's formation was disrupted by him, Yu Wenze, who knew that it was time to charge, was holding the speed machine in one hand and the saber in the other hand. He tightly clamped the horse under him with his legs and shouted: "Cavalry battalion, attack."  Finally, before he could finish his words, he had already taken the lead and rushed into the Japanese army.  The speed machine in his left hand and the saber in his right hand were rushing back and forth among the Japanese army formations that were in disarray.  Those who are far away are shot with guns, those who are close are chopped with knives.

    By his side, his subordinates showed no sign of weakness.  Using the saber in his hand, he quickly harvested the lives of the Japanese soldiers.  These cavalrymen did not fight head-on with Japanese soldiers.  They first used submachine guns to disperse the Japanese soldiers who risked their lives and gathered into a small group of three or four after seeing the cavalry rushing up again. Then they slowly chopped off the heads of the Japanese soldiers one by one with the sabers in their hands.

    This can hardly be called a battle, it can be said to be a one-sided and unilateral massacre.  Under the repeated attacks of the cavalry, the Japanese troops, who were almost unable to fight back, were killed as cleanly as if they were being chopped up vegetables and melons within half an hour.  The second Major Yabiki was beheaded by Yu Wenze himself.

    After neatly leaving the Japanese army behind to delay his own squadron, Yu Wenze pursued the main force in the direction of the main force without hesitation with the remaining company.  When they arrived at the remnant led by Major General Katayama Shozaburo, who was only besieged by his two companies on a small highland, they caught up with the main force besieging Katayama Shozaburo. Under the command of instructor Qu Xiangdong, they used the cavalry battalion's fourth  With the fire cover of 60mm mortars and six heavy machine guns, they launched a charge against the Japanese troops on the high hill.

    Seeing this, Yu Wenze, who was still far from being killed before, rolled up his sleeves and was about to join the battle.  But he didn't want to be grabbed by Qu Xiangdong, who would not allow him to participate in the battle and let him take command on the spot.  While the two were pulling, a cavalryman hurried over and said: "Battal commander and instructor, we found a large number of Japanese cavalry directly south of us, rushing towards the battlefield. Their strength is roughly estimated to be around a brigade."

    After hearing the report, the two people immediately stopped arguing.  After looking at each other, Qu Xiangdong spoke first: "Battal Commander, you are commanding here, I will take the first company to have a look. Remember, if you still violate the orders of the headquarters, abandon your command position and go down to kill privately,  I will report truthfully to the headquarters after the war."

    As soon as Qu Xiangdong said this, Yu Wenze, who had just ignored him and almost fell out with Qu Xiangdong, immediately withered.  After all, Qu Xiangdong was an old political worker transferred from Guan Nei, and he had a very sharp eye, and he immediately caught Yu Wenze's weakness.

    When the cavalry battalion was about to go into battle, Yang Zhen repeatedly warned Yu Wenze that he would never be allowed to abandon his command position and fight on the front line just for his own pleasure.  In addition to repeatedly emphasizing his order to Yu Wenze, Yang Zhen also told Qu Xiangdong to keep a close eye on this guy.  If Yu Wenze disobeys orders, he will be severely punished after the war.

    Seeing that Yu Wenze did not become honest until he heard what he was going to report to the headquarters, Qu Xiangdong was not very relieved and told Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Guixian to keep an eye on him. If Zhang Xiangui intended to cover up, as long as he knew, he would definitely  The most severe punishment will be given before taking a continuous direction.The direction of the Japanese cavalry brigade appeared and came up to meet them.

    After Qu Xiangdong walked away, Yu Wenze dragged Zhang Xiangui reluctantly and said, "Brother, give me some face. The height of the high ground occupied by the little devil is less than thirty meters, and the slope is not big. We can charge up to it with one charge.  , I'll go up and fight for a while, as long as you don't tell the truth, by the time the instructor comes back, we're done and he won't find anything."

    Looking at Yu Wenze, who was a little restless and scratching his head anxiously, he was born in the Fifth Anti-Alliance Army and served as a cavalry squad leader in the old Northeast Army. Zhang Xiangui, a very kind-hearted man, smiled and said: "Batalion Commander, the instructor is right. You are the highest ranking person in our battalion.  Commander, you charge forward. What will happen to the troops if something goes wrong?"

    "You are the commander, and your position should be at your command post, directing the entire battalion's operations, rather than going to the front line to rush to kill. Besides, you also saw the instructor's tone when he left. If I really let you go  , I would be in trouble if he found out."

    Having said this, Zhang Xiangui smiled honestly and said: "Battal Commander, the Japs here only have the strength of more than a squadron. Even if you go up there, you won't be able to enjoy it. Just now you didn't hear that there was a Japs coming over there."  The cavalry brigade? Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll have enough killing time.¡±

    "Now if you disobey the headquarters' orders and go to the battlefield privately, if the headquarters finds out, they will transfer you back to the rear. Then you will lose a big thing because of the small things. I know you don't care about your official position, but right now our  The war gets bigger and bigger, and from now on it will be you."

    After hearing Zhang Xiangui's persuasion, Yu Wenze scratched his head and said: "Old Zhang, you don't know, I haven't ridden my horse to kill the Japanese for more than a year, and my hands are always itchy. I finally waited for this opportunity, and saw that the Japanese couldn't kill them."  , It¡¯s so disturbing. ***, if my big leopard horse hadn¡¯t been blown up by the Japs¡¯ plane and I was knocked unconscious, how could I have been so cowardly as a prisoner?¡±

    "When I see these little sons of bitches, I think of my big leopard and pinto horse. It is a fine Hequ horse, not only with strong sprinting power, but also with great intelligence. How can it be used on the battlefield?  He saved my life once and became like a relative to me. He didn¡¯t die on the battlefield, but he died under the Japanese plane and suffered so much in their prisoner of war camp.¡±

    "Old Zhang, you are from the Anti-Japanese War and have never been in a prisoner-of-war camp of the Japs. You don't know that the Japs don't regard us captured people as human beings at all. If the wounded fall into their hands, almost none of them can  Those who survived. When the new recruits came, a group of prisoners of war were randomly pulled out of the prisoner of war camp to practice assassination and strengthen their courage."

    "When those Japanese officers were happy, they would use the prisoners of war to practice sword skills. When they were unhappy, they would kill the prisoners alive to discourage them. They say hell is terrifying, but we have never seen it with our own eyes. But the prisoner-of-war camp of the little Japanese is, for us middlemen*  *To a human being, it is even more terrifying than hell. Of the more than 300 of my brothers who were captured, I am now the only one left who was either tortured to death or bayoneted by the little Japs.¡±

    "But seeing these little devils right in front of me, and being unable to personally go into battle to avenge those brothers who died innocently in their hands, as well as my big leopard and flower horse, I feel extremely aggrieved. I really want to be stabbed.  Only by cutting these Japanese soldiers alive can I relieve the hatred in my heart."

    After saying these words, I thought of my beloved horse, of my brothers who died innocently under Japanese bayonets in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, and of the suffering I suffered there.  Yu Wenze stared with red eyes at the last remnant of the Japanese Second Division on the high hill, clutching the saber tightly in his hand.

    Looking at Yu Wenze, whose eyes were red, Zhang Xiangui just wanted to persuade him.  But he didn't expect that before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a report from a cavalry correspondent who hurried over to the southeast.

    After hearing the report from this cavalry correspondent, Qu Xiangdong encountered the Japanese cavalry brigade heading north from Lianjiangkou and started a fierce battle. He knew that something must have happened to Qu Xiangdong, otherwise that stubborn guy would definitely not send someone to ask for help.  Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Wenze said to Zhang Xiangui: "Old Zhang, it seems that the instructor is in trouble. He only has a cavalry company, and the strength is too weak. The Japanese have a cavalry brigade."

    "In this way, I will leave you a company. You don't have to rush to eat them. Just keep an eye on these little devils and don't let them escape. According to the time calculation, the main force is expected to arrive soon. Since they are infantry, they will be handed over to  The infantry will deal with it. I will take a platoon from the second company and the heavy machine gun company to pick up the instructor."
