Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 432

Chapter 432 Moving forward!

Rushing, rushing wildly, the Chinese cavalry waved their sabers and rushed through the positions of the Japanese infantry that had collapsed. They rushed through the first artillery position and hacked to death most of the khakis that could be seen in the field of vision, but they did not stop. He did not pay attention to the Japanese artillerymen who had lost their fighting spirit and were running around.

There was no need to launch flares at all. In order to clearly see the enemy in front of them, the panicked Japanese army used flares rising everywhere on the huge battlefield, and the line of sight was as clear as two to three hundred meters.

“Charge!” Gong Shaoxun hacked a Japanese soldier to death, kicked the horse's belly and swung his knife forward.

Continue to move forward, like a sharp knife, cutting the heavy artillery brigade into pieces. This is the most important combat task of the cavalry.

With their speed and the power of their sabers, wherever the cavalry passed, the Japanese troops were like snow thrown into a soup. The ice melted and disintegrated in an instant. The smooth progress was far beyond Gong Shaoxun's surprise.

But Gong Shaoxun was not dazzled by the victory in front of him. He strictly ordered the cavalry not to pursue the defeated Japanese troops, nor did he blow up the huge cannon whose muzzle was shining coldly under the flares. That was done by the infantry.

With the speed of their horses, the infantry cannot keep up. If they go deep alone, they may be surrounded by counterattacks after the Japanese army reacts. They will be killed in the wilderness by the huge Japanese army with various firearms. This depends on the cavalry commander. The art of command and will.

Whether it is possible to break through obstacles with speed and chop down all resistance with a saber.

200 meters away, a group of khaki-colored busy figures were clearly visible. Gong Shaoxun vaguely saw the cold light flashing from the muzzle of the khaki-colored gun, and an inexplicable chill ran down his spine.

“Kill them!” Turn the horse's head and increase its speed at the same time.

The cavalrymen followed their commanders and turned towards the Japanese positions that were trying to shoot at them.

The cavalry battalion's good luck ended here.

The group of Japanese troops on the opposite side had obviously set up defenses. Before the Chinese cavalry rushed over, blood-curdling gunshots suddenly rang out from the Japanese position!

“Dong dong dong!”

Gong Shaoxun, who was riding on a war horse and started to accelerate, suddenly felt two strong winds flying past his ears. The usually obedient war horse suddenly started to neigh and started to slow down. It was a machine gun that made a well-trained war horse instinctively feel terrifying. .

Horses were neighing all around him. When he turned around and looked around, he saw that the two cavalrymen following him had been killed by machine guns. One cavalryman's head had completely disappeared, and the right side of the other cavalryman's body had also disappeared.

Blood spurted out, but the remains were still sitting on the horse. The horse beneath him must have felt the warmth of the blood of his comrades. It raised its front hooves in panic, and the shrill neighing of the horse resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Machine cannon! This is a machine gun! The Japanese army is also equipped with machine guns!" Gong Shaoxun's eyes suddenly turned red.

The cavalry who were speeding up were probably frightened by this extremely tragic scene, and their horse speed slowly slowed down.

But the battlefield will not stop because of the hesitation of a group of Chinese cavalry.

"Dong Dong Dong..." On the front position, the Japanese army's terrifying machine guns rang violently again.

As if being struck hard by the sickle wielded by the **** of death, the cavalry at the front either fell off their horses silently, or fell heavily to the ground with their horses and men.

There was no sound of human beings, only the desperate neighing of the horses before they died.

It was definitely an extremely **** scene. Anyone hit by a machine gun shell would basically be in a half-shattered state. Even the huge body of the war horse would have large holes visible to the naked eye. The strong smell of blood would linger on this battlefield. It ripples up.

The Chinese cavalry didn't know that this was a 25mm machine gun equipped by the anti-aircraft artillery wing of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade. It was specially designed for air defense. There were 18 guns in total.

This type of anti-aircraft cannon, named Type 96 in Japan, has a theoretical rate of fire of up to 260 rounds per minute. It is the only standard cannon equipped by the Japanese navy and army. It is divided into single, double and triple installations. kind of format.

What the cavalry encountered were twin 25mm machine guns. Fortunately, they were not facing the entire anti-aircraft artillery unit. According to the triangular position air defense principle, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade placed the anti-aircraft artillery unit's 18 25mm machine guns in three directions of the position. Each air defense position had Six twin 25mm machine guns.

Even more fortunately, since the Chinese fighter planes disappeared from the sky, the anti-aircraft artillery wing responsible for air defense found itself useless. Moreover, the autumn in southeastern China was too humid, and the exposure of the gun barrels would greatly reduce the life of the weapons, so At night, the anti-aircraft guns were disassembled for maintenance and put into special wooden boxes.

Up to now, this group of Japanese anti-aircraft artillerymen has only been able to install two machine guns in a hurry.

If they had known that their anti-aircraft cannons would have to fight against the infantry, six anti-aircraft cannons would have fired flatly at Gong Shaoxun and the others, and they would have beaten half of this elite group of Chinese cavalry.

The Chinese cavalry didn't know that their opponents were actually panicking. The two newly installed machine guns seemed to be awesome, but in fact the Type 96 machine gun only had 15 bullets. It was necessary to hit one bullet empty. Stop shooting and reinstall the bullet plate. The continuation of the firepower is not as terrible as it just appeared.

But the Japanese also didn't know that the opponents in front of them were also frightened and hesitated by the tragic sacrifice scene.

Although the distance is only 200 meters, these 200 meters are definitely the road to hell. If they continue to charge, I don't know how many cavalry will die on this road filled with machine gun shells that will kill them.

It is not that the cavalry cannot die, but they should not die in a nearly suicidal charge, and now is far from the time for a suicidal charge.

Gong Shaoxun rarely hesitated.

It's just that the time left for hesitation may only be a few seconds or even less. Because the Japanese machine guns may continue to fire soon.

It was already too late for the infantry's mortars and machine guns to arrive. If we did not speed up and rush over to completely crush the Japanese resistance and give the Japanese enough time to regroup, the consequences might be more terrible than the death of the entire cavalry battalion.

“The whole army is with me, kill!” Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Gong Shaoxun pulled out his dagger and stabbed the **** of his beloved war horse without hesitation, shouting loudly.

The war horse, which had been hesitant just now, raised its hooves under the severe pain and galloped forward.

The terrifying sound of the machine gun sounded again, but it no longer affected the war horses or the people on them.

The brave cavalry major had a choice between life and death, and he resolutely chose the latter.

“Kill!” The cavalry behind him followed one after another.

Some lay as low as possible on the back of the horse, holding the sword flat in their hands, and the light of the sword flashed across the cold wind. Some held the sword in their mouths, drew their carbines, and fired while galloping.

Lu Sanjiang almost rushed to the same level as his battalion commander.

He did not make any move to avoid him. The eyes of the strong cavalry squad leader were red, and the tears that had just fallen from the corners of his eyes were dried by the autumn wind.

Two cavalrymen in his squad, right next to him, were shattered by terrible machine gun shells, and the blood spattered on his face. The warmth on his lips reminded him that it was the blood of his brothers.

That moment reminded him of the veteran squad leader.

The veteran squad leader used his body to protect everyone, but he once again witnessed the death of his comrades.

They all died like this!

Then I'm not alive anymore!

Then don't live anymore!

Lu Sanjiang has gone crazy. The bay red horse under him may also feel the master's thoughts. Its muscles are angry and it moves forward with all its strength.

Chinese cavalry, move forward!

Towards death! go ahead!
