Chapter 258 Sun Desheng's Highlight Moment
After careful consideration, Jiro Tamura decided to send out two cavalry squadrons with a total of 400 Japanese devils to test the strength of the cavalry regiment.
As his order was given, 400 Japanese cavalrymen quickly stepped out of the team. Their movements were uniform, as if they had undergone countless trainings.
They deployed their offensive formation, and their strict ranks made people feel their discipline and fighting power.
at the same time.
Sun Desheng was also observing the Japanese cavalry regiment intently.
In his opinion, the cavalry regiment in front of him was very powerful in terms of both equipment and horsemanship.
He had already seen from the confrontation in Beihe Village that more than 200 Japanese cavalrymen were able to escape from the encirclement of thousands of cavalrymen, which was enough to show that their strength should not be underestimated.
It seems that today will be a tough battle, and Sun Desheng's heart is full of vigilance and fighting spirit.
When Sun Desheng saw the Japanese cavalry preparing to launch an attack, he immediately ordered the battalion commander beside him: "Captain of the first battalion, you lead the soldiers of the first battalion to meet this group of Japanese soldiers."
"Yes, Captain."
The battalion commander responded without hesitation.
He immediately rode his horse to the front of the first battalion and shouted, "First battalion, follow me."
"Kill the Japanese cavalry and let them see how powerful we are."
A battalion of 500 cavalry soldiers also rode out of the team on horseback.
As both sides sounded the attack horns, the battle officially began!
The Japanese cavalry and the cavalry of the first battalion launched a charge at the same time.
Thousands of war horses were galloping across the land. The sound of their hooves was like thunder, deafening, and the dust they raised was flying everywhere.
When the distance was shortened to 400 meters, the Japanese cavalry raised their horse rifles and began to attack the cavalry soldiers of the first battalion.
The dense gunfire came one after another, falling like raindrops.
However, the soldiers of the first battalion were not intimidated by this sudden attack.
They are responsive and agile.
They quickly lay down on the horse's back and cleverly avoided the flying bullets.
The safety of the submachine gun in his hand had already been turned off, and he was quietly waiting for the best opportunity.
As long as they get within shooting range, these soldiers will let the Japanese see what true terror is.
The warhorse was extremely fast and rushed forward like lightning.
In just a dozen seconds, they crossed the 200-meter distance and reached the shooting range.
At this time, the soldiers did not hesitate, immediately raised their submachine guns and started to fire wildly at the Japanese cavalry.
Tongues of fire shot out from the muzzle, carrying endless anger and hatred, and hit the enemy fiercely.
In an instant, the battlefield was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and the sounds of shouting, killing, and gunfire filled the air, which was fierce and cruel.
In just two or three seconds, a magazine of 50 bullets was emptied.
The Japanese cavalry were instantly hit by a torrential rain of deadly fire. Countless bullets hit the Japanese cavalry, and at least seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.
After the soldiers emptied their magazines, they immediately drew their sabers from their waists and rushed towards the Japanese.
The remaining time was not enough for them to reload, so they could only rely on the sabers in their hands to engage in close combat with the Japs.
A few seconds later, the two sides started a fierce battle on the plain.
The soldiers wielded their sabers and slashed at the Japanese. The sharp blades flashed coldly in the sunlight, like the scythe of the god of death.
The Japanese cavalry was not willing to be outdone and fought back desperately.
After one or two rounds of charging, the Japanese cavalry left more than 240 corpses on the battlefield.
The first battalion also lost more than 130 soldiers. After all, the individual strength of the Japanese cavalry was stronger than that of the cavalry regiment.
If it weren't for the previous wave of submachine gun attacks that killed some of the Japanese, the number of casualties would have increased further.
When Sun Desheng saw this scene, he felt very heavy in his heart.
He knew that the individual strength of the cavalry regiment was still slightly inferior to that of the Japanese.
But he also knew that they could not retreat and had to fight to defend their homeland.
When Jiro Tamura saw the battle ahead, his face also turned very grim.
He didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's cavalry would be so tenacious and cause them such heavy losses.
The only thing that comforted him was that the imperial cavalry was better at fighting than the Eighth Route Army.
............
Half an hour later, both sides were ready for a big battle.
Jiro Tamura was ready to concentrate all his forces to launch a charge against the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Regiment and destroy the cavalry in front of him in one fell swoop.
He was well aware that the Eighth Route Army's cavalry's weakness was close combat, so as long as he could kill his way into the Eighth Route Army's ranks, he would be able to defeat the cavalry regiment.
Sun Desheng was also aware of this, so he ordered the cavalry regiment to keep a certain distance when charging and engage in a fight with the Japanese.
The firing rate of the Japanese carbine rifles was not as fast as that of their submachine guns, so they had to take advantage of this to deal with the Japanese.
The atmosphere on the battlefield was very tense and a war was about to break out.
More than 2000 Japanese cavalrymen took the lead in launching the attack. The scene was extremely grand and spectacular.
Jiro Tamura rode on his horse, waving his command sword and shouting, "Warriors of the Empire, charge!"
Sun Desheng stood in front of the team and shouted: "Comrades, charge.
Destroy the little devils in front of you."
Under the leadership of Sun Desheng, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment also launched a fierce charge against the Japanese cavalry.
On the plain, more than 4000 cavalrymen were fighting fiercely.
The Japanese cavalry rode their horses and tried desperately to charge into the Eighth Route Army's ranks, but the Eighth Route Army soldiers did not engage in close hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese, but attacked the Japanese from a certain distance.
On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire continued to ring out, and the soldiers continued to fight with the Japanese cavalry.
As time went on, more and more Japanese cavalry were hit and fell off their horses.
The cavalry regiment also lost many soldiers, but they did not retreat and continued to fight tenaciously.
As the number of Japanese cavalry decreased, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the cavalry regiment.
Jiro Tamura suddenly felt that the situation was not good. The number of cavalry casualties on the battlefield was greater than that of the Eighth Route Army.
If this continues, the cavalry regiment will be finished.
He quickly issued an order to retreat, however, the battlefield was already in chaos at this time, with the Japanese cavalry and the Eighth Route Army's cavalry regiments mixed together, making it difficult to quickly withdraw from the battle.
In the chaos, Sun Desheng led an elite cavalry company and rushed out from the battlefield like a sharp arrow, heading straight for Tamura Jiro.
Jiro Tamura looked at this brave team in horror, and without hesitation led his men to flee desperately.
Sun Desheng pursued him relentlessly, determined to kill the Japanese commander with his own hands.
An hour later, Sun Desheng successfully killed the Japanese regiment commander Tamura Jiro.
The Japanese cavalry regiments were also eliminated one by one under the attack of the cavalry regiment.
The cavalry regiment led by Sun Desheng also became the first unit in the Eighth Route Army and even in the Chinese army to eliminate the Japanese cavalry regiment.
