"Papapapa pa" A series of crisp sounds sounded. Although his face had been beaten as red and swollen as a persimmon, Nagakawa Hideo's body still stood upright, not daring to move at all. Tojo Shino, who hurriedly arrived, was beating and scolding: "Yaga so many warriors are dead, why don't you go to have a disembowelment? You still have the nerve to ask me for tactical guidance. Do you know that the cavalry regiment's faces are all Have you disgraced me?" When Tojo Shino stopped, Nagakawa Hideo bowed and said: "Your Excellency, Captain, I know that I have discredited the Cavalry Regiment, but I ask you to give me another chance to atone for my sins. Opportunity, I hope that even if I have a caesarean section, I will stand at the entrance of the village and face the east to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor. Please give me another chance, please!¡± Tojo Shino snorted: ¡°I¡¯ll give you another chance, don¡¯t you know? I know that your incompetence has alerted the Division Commander. Your Majesty, the Division Commander has now sent a chariot brigade to move closer here. If we rely on the help of the chariot brigade to capture this place, our cavalry regiment will be embarrassed. It¡¯s all lost, do you understand?¡± As soon as he heard this, Nagakawa Hideo knew the seriousness of the matter. Since the birth of the tank, after decades of development, various countries have successively formed their own armored forces, even the most old-fashioned Japanese are no exception. There have been calls in the country to abolish the cavalry as an arm and instead vigorously develop armored forces. Although they gave up due to strong opposition from conservative forces in Japan, they have to rely on armored forces to win positions that they cannot win. This is a problem for the cavalry. It's simply a shame and a big insult. Nagakawa Hideo gritted his teeth and raised a ninety-degree bow: "Your Majesty, Captain, please allow me to lead the remaining two squadrons to launch a final charge against the China Army. Even if I die, I hope to die in battle." On the way to charge!" Tojo Shino took a long breath and then said: "Baga, you idiot, if you can take over that village with your remaining two squadrons, you won't wait for me to come. Listen. It will take about half an hour for the tank group to get here, so we have to take that village within half an hour. I brought a mortar squadron and I will let them cover you. I'll give you two more squadrons. If you can't take that village again, you don't have to come to see me. Do you understand? " "Hai Thank you for your trust, Captain, I will live up to your expectations! " "Boom!" "Boom" accompanied by a low sound of gunfire and an explosion. A machine gun bunker dozens of meters away from Wu Zhuang was blasted into the sky. Listening to the low sound of gunfire, Wu Zhuang knew that it was the sound of the Japanese Type 97 81mm caliber mortar. This kind of mortar It is mainly equipped with troops at or above the Japanese brigade level and is very powerful, even though Wu Zhuang had already ordered the troops to withdraw into the village. But there were still two machine gun groups that were blown up by Japanese artillery fire because of their slow movements. A second lieutenant on the side asked: "Company Commander, the Japanese mortars are too accurate. Do you want to pull out our mortars and hit them twice?" "It's useless!" Wu Zhuang shook his head. , "The caliber of our mortars is too small, and they are no match for them. If we fire rashly, we will get caught in it. Wait, the Japanese are cavalry troops, and they definitely don't have that many shells for them to waste." "Wu Zhuang's words were accurate. The Japanese mortars stopped within five minutes, and then rows of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the village with Type 44 rifles. After paying hundreds of cavalry casualties, Nagakawa Hideo learned his lesson this time. He ordered all the cavalry to dismount, and a group of nearly 800 infantrymen surrounded the village from four directions. Soon, crisp gunshots rang out. Looking at the densely packed Japanese troops coming from all directions. The second lieutenant took a breath: "Hissthese Japs think too highly of us. They can only deal with one company of us. Do we need such a large formation?" Wu Zhuang withdrew his gaze and smiled bitterly, turning to the second lieutenant beside him. Said: "Wang Liang, we probably won't survive the night this time. I order the brothers not to save bullets, but just kill as many as you can!" The second lieutenant named Wang Liang was silent for a moment and nodded. Let's get ready "Kick-kick-kick-kick-kick" Rapid machine gunfire rang continuously in Xikou Village. After seeing the scale of the Japanese charge, Wu Zhuang knew that this time the Japanese army was determined. No matter what, their lone army must be eliminated here. In this case, he no longer hid it and put out all the remaining eight mg34 machine guns. In addition, he also brought the three m2 Browning heavy machine guns that were originally hidden to the position. Three 60 mortars also began to bombard the Japanese army. It can be said that he showed all his wealth. A fightring. Tojo Shino, who was observing attentively in the back, was startled. The firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side was too fierce, especially the machine gun that made a weird sound, which was like the scythe of death. The dense rain of metal bullets was endless. They were pouring towards the charging Japanese army. Although the Japanese machine gunners had tried their best to suppress it, in the face of the rain of metal bullets like a metal storm, the poor rate of fire of the Type 92 heavy machine gun and the Type 11 light machine gun was not as good as theirs. In comparison, it's like a child's toy. It can't even protect itself, let alone suppress it. Seeing Shino Tojo's frown, Captain Kotani Nagaharu of the Second Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment on the side comforted him: "Your Excellency, Captain, please don't worry. The strength of this village is only one company at most. Nagakawa-kun will definitely It will succeed!" Tojo Shino sighed: "I am not worried about this, I am thinking that over the past year, the reputation of China's 202nd Division has become more and more popular, and it has even spread to the mainland. Some are dismissive, thinking that this is just an excuse for the defeated cowards, but judging from today's battle situation, the 202nd Division is indeed different from the general Chinese troops. Not only are they better equipped, but they are more determined to fight. , and is full of unforgettable hatred for our Empire of Japan. If such an opponent continues to exist, it will be very harmful to our Empire of Japan. " "I understand" Otani Nagaharu nodded. Said: "That's why you ordered Nagakawa-kun to issue a death order. You must have wiped out all the troops in the village, right?" "That's natural!" Tojo Shino's eyes turned to the one not far away. Paipai's body was stripped naked and its head cut off, and his eyes became cold: "Anyone who offends the majesty of the Japanese Imperial Army must be eliminated no matter what the price is paid!" Dong Jiao Shino did not lie. The battle became intense at the beginning. The Japanese army with absolutely superior strength launched a general offensive from the beginning under the command of Nagakawa Hideo. Wu Zhuang and his company were under great pressure. If they had not started Several trenches and fortifications were dug at various intersections. I am afraid that the position has fallen long ago, but their casualties continued to increase in the face of the Japanese army's tide of attacks. "Bang" A crisp gunshot rang out, and a blood flower appeared on the chest of a sergeant who was directing more than a dozen Japanese troops to advance, and then he fell to the ground with a bang. More than two hundred meters away, Wu Zhuang put away his Mauser sniper rifle and nimbly got into another bunker. More than twenty minutes had passed since the battle started, and the number of Japanese soldiers who fell under his gun reached eleven. indivual. Although the battle only lasted less than half an hour, the casualties on both sides were not light. Nearly one-third of Wu Zhuang's company of nearly 200 men was now killed, and the Japanese army paid hundreds of corpses for this. Looking back at the increasingly sparse machine gunfire next to him, Wu Zhuang had the idea of ??breaking out for the first time, but he threw it out of the sky as soon as the idea arose. A group of infantrymen wanted to escape in front of the cavalry. This was no different. It's a fantasy, it seems that he can only die here. At this moment, a dull and rapid sound sounded again. "Boom, boom, boom" A round of artillery shells landed near him, blowing several soldiers who were shooting into the sky. "These bastards!" Wu Zhuang spit out the dirt in his mouth. He immediately bent down and ran quickly back for a short distance, jumped into a bomb crater and asked loudly to several soldiers who were playing with mortars: " How much ammunition do you have?" The soldier looked around and said, "Company commander, there are still three boxes of high-explosive bombs." Wu Zhuang felt a chill. Each box of mortar shells is six rounds, and three boxes of artillery shells are eighteen rounds. This amount of shells is not enough for a high-rate artillery such as a mortar to fire a round of rapid fire. "Never mind!" Wu Zhuang gritted his teeth and handed his binoculars to a sergeant next to him, pointed to the front and said: "Have you seen the hillside in the distance? There is a mortar position of the Japanese army. Your mission is Shoot out all the remaining shells, and be sure to blow up the Japanese mortar position!" The sergeant picked up the telescope and looked at it: "Company Commander, the distance is a bit far, but we are still under fire! Within the range, this round of shells will definitely be enough for them to drink a pot. ""Okay, let's start now, don't worry!" Wu Zhuang patted his shoulder and urged. The sergeant carefully observed the hillside in the distance, extended his thumb to make a gesture, then adjusted the height and angle of the mortar, stretched out his hand and said. "Cannonball!" A cannonball was handed into his hand. He took the cannonball and fired it neatly into the barrel. "Boom" "Cannon"?¡¡± ¡°Boom¡Boom¡Boom¡¡± In less than a minute, he shot out all three boxes of artillery shells, and then there were waves of low explosions on the hillside in the distance. "Okay destroyed" Wu Zhuang, who had been observing with a telescope, shouted happily, but as soon as he finished speaking, an explosion sounded on the battlefield, and a gm-fire was pouring out. 34 machine gun and even the man with the machine gun were injured in mid-air. The startled Wu Zhuang just put down his binoculars and turned around to look. Three Japanese tanks painted in khaki began to appear in front of him .
