Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 168

Chapter 168 White Horse? He will never come back

After dealing with the beasts chased from the airport, the New Second Regiment began an orderly retreat according to the original arrangement.

In order to carry out this mission, the comrades brought a large amount of weapons and ammunition with them when they came to Taiyuan, which temporarily affected the normal marching speed.

After a relatively fierce battle, everyone marched lightly, and it took almost half a day to reach the defense area of the New 10th Brigade and the Three Deadly Columns.

“Commander, more than a hundred Japanese cavalry have come out from the direction of Taiyuan City. They are expected to enter the woods in ten minutes. We haven't seen any trucks or Sanbengzi yet.”

The platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon in charge of the rear break said through a portable communicator.

After hearing the news, Li Yunlong almost laughed out loud. The forest used by the New Second Regiment to hide in these days is very dense. Some areas are so lush and green that they don't get any sunlight at noon.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is their high mobility, and speed is the most important no matter who they are fighting against. This means that there must be no obstacles in the combat area, otherwise the horse will not be able to accelerate sufficiently.

Horses are not stupid and will not hit trees. But where horses can pass, people may be swept down.

If the Japanese cavalry dared to pass through the woods, they would die the moment they came out.

If you have to take a detour, you will be delayed for at least half an hour. Let alone pursuit, I'm afraid not even a single hair of Li Yunlong will be seen.

“Just over a hundred cavalrymen? Is Yoshio Shinozuka out of his mind?”

"Is this old devil on top? Xiaori saw his submachine guns and mortars, and he still dares to send pure cavalry to chase him?"

Speaking of this, Captain Li seemed to have thought of something interesting. He turned around and pointed at the woods with his right index finger, and then said domineeringly:

“Since they are here to die, we must help the devils! White horse? Huh? He will never come back!”

Monk Zhang Er was confused, and Wei Dayong asked a little embarrassedly: "Commander, how do you know that the Japanese cavalry is a white horse? Did you see it?"

“Go, go, go, Qu Yi doesn't even know! How many times have I told you to study more, but you don't listen! Learn from me!”

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka also wanted to send more people to pursue him, but he currently did not have many troops at his disposal. After the battle between Yuci and Liao County started, he had already sent a regiment of soldiers to support.

As the headquarters of the First Army, Taiyuan must leave at least two brigades for defense.

Originally, this old devil wanted to rely on mobile troops to follow the "Jinsui Army", and then find opportunities to cooperate with the strongholds along the way to kill the enemy.

But the casualties at the airport made him dizzy, and coupled with the foolish loyalty of his subordinates, the current situation was created.

Then it's time for the ambush that everyone loves to see.

Although with the firepower of the third battalion and the artillery battery, the Japanese cavalry can be eaten head-on. After all, a large number of submachine guns are known as cavalry killers.

However, ambush warfare is a tactic engraved in the bones of all Eighth Route Army soldiers. There is no need to spend a lot of time on something that can be easily accomplished.

Under the instructions of Commander Li, everyone left some traces unintentionally. This will neither make the Japanese cavalry lose track nor make them suspicious.

This time when they came to Taiyuan to perform a mission, the New Second Regiment had done enough homework. Not only have various unexpected factors been taken into account, but corresponding measures and plans have also been prepared, and the cavalry is naturally included.

In order to deal with the cavalry's pursuit, Commander Li specially bought several packets of chili noodles. Fortunately, Lao Xi is not only jealous, but also doesn't dislike chili peppers.

For this thing, he traveled to two villages and used ten kilograms of pork. This will be his secret weapon against the enemy.

Fifteen minutes later, the Japanese cavalry emerged from the woods in a panic. Judging from their panicked looks, they must have suffered a lot.

Yoshio Shinozuka gave a death order that the cavalry squadron must bite the escaping "Jinsui Army".

And based on the analysis of bullet casings and fighting time, the number of opponents should not be very large. So these 134 Japanese soldiers, knowing that the terrain was not good for them, still followed the footsteps and got into the woods.

When the leader of the Japanese cavalry squadron was about to observe the situation outside the woods, Le Zhengdou fired the explosive package that had been planted in advance.

The Japs on the war horses didn't even react, and were blown to pieces without any defense.

Several huge explosions directly killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and military horses, and severed limbs of men and horses flew everywhere.

Subsequently, clouds of gray powder mist spread nearby, covering all the cavalry in a short time. The powdery mist was choking and spicy, and it spread in the eyes of men and horses, causing them to scream. They sneezed one after another, with snot and tears smearing all over their faces.

Unfortunately, the wind direction at this time is northwest.

The army horses in the early days were very smart. They faced the wind and tried to rush out of this area. The Japanese on horseback could only squint their eyes and try to control the panicked horses.

Since the day the New Second Regiment was established, the soldiers have never had a hard time.

With a submachine gun in hand and enough bullets, the previous tactic of placing the cavalry closer to fight is impossible to use anymore.

The two sides were nearly 700 meters apart. When he saw the Japanese war horses rushing forward uncontrollably, Commander Li ordered the battle to begin!

“Six hundred meters! The machine gun team opens fire!”

“Pillar! Fire for me!”

The current distance is not yet the effective range of the MAS-36, so there is no need to blindly shoot to expose the firepower distribution.

Six light machine guns protruded from the temporarily dug trench. With the engineer shovel, the soldiers' soil work speed was doubled. In ten minutes, they could do the work that took half an hour before.

But this level of firepower caused limited damage to the Japanese cavalry, and only a dozen enemies fell from their horses to the ground.

“Four hundred meters! Give me the rifle!”

With the addition of more than a hundred rifles, the firepower of the New Second Regiment has stalled the "charge" momentum of the Japanese cavalry, but their position no longer allows them to retreat.

The Japanese squadron leader barely got rid of the influence of the pepper, and saw the wolf-like enemy in front of him.

At this situation, he felt cruel. He pulled out his 32-year-old cavalry saber and started to charge seriously, trying to rush to the position of the New Second Regiment and start a massacre.

Behind him, his subordinates followed closely their squadron leader, and no one showed any timidity.

“The black card is loaded!”

The cavalry sprinted very quickly. Even though they had insufficient horsepower after trekking, the distance of 200 meters only took 15 seconds. But when we were still 200 meters away from the New Second Regiment, only half of the soldiers were left.

“SMG! Everyone fire!”

We have now reached the effective range of the MAS-38, not to mention that the Japs are still advancing, and the distance between the two sides is constantly getting closer.

Seeing that the Japanese were approaching the position, Commander Li and his soldiers leaned out of the temporary bunker slightly.

They didn't care about the bullets fired by the enemy. After all, they couldn't open their eyes completely, so there was no way to be accurate when shooting from horseback.

The French metal storm completely tore the enemy's body apart.

No cavalry can rush in front of the infantry who are well prepared and have powerful firepower without having a numerical advantage and losing their speed advantage.

Dozens of Japs fell on their backs. After finishing three submachine gun magazines, only one horse came to the position of the New Second Regiment alone.

After the battle, Commander Li walked out of the temporary trench. He picked up the horse that was at a loss as to where it was, and then said to the soldiers:

“Clean up the battlefield! If you don't have enough bullets, pick up a rifle! You can also pick up two if you have a crooked handle!”

“We will retreat in three minutes! Quick, quick, quick!”

On the way home, the New Second Regiment took a side road and carefully arrived at the friendly defense area, without encountering any Japanese along the way.

September 24, through the national spy network and intelligence organizations, the news that Taiyuan Airport was bombarded by the "Shanxi-Sui Army" spread throughout the country.

This news is even more exciting than the Eighth Route Army's launch of the second phase of the Hundred Regiment War. After all, most senior executives of Guozhou know that the commander of the second theater has a somewhat ambiguous attitude towards his small life.

Not only the bald man, but also Qi Luban and Commander Wei felt that the sun was rising from the west.
