Keep Charging, Don't Stop!
Chapter 71:Keep Charging, Don't Stop!
The little Japanese has always been arrogant, there is no one in the eyes, and this West Village Major has performed particularly seriously, it is simply unknown.However, this is also a reason, in the cold weapons era, cavalry can be described as the most popular, is definitely the strongest service, no one.Therefore, all countries in the world attach great importance to the development of cavalry, and Japan is no exception.
However, as we all know, Japan is only a small projectile country, the land is small, the land is poor, the resources are lacking, such a country is impossible to cultivate a large number of cavalry, so the Japanese cavalry is definitely a scarce army, especially before the Meiji Renewal, the cavalry of that period is basically composed of nobles and high samurai, because these people are noble, naturally there is no one in the eyes, think of themselves as the first in the world.After the Meiji Renewal, Japan continued to expand the armament war, cavalry has also been rapid development, when the cavalry is not aristocratic class, but inherited the arrogance of the ancient cavalry.Although after World War I, the role of cavalry gradually weakened, it was difficult to adapt to modern warfare, so the countries at that time were heavily reducing cavalry, and Japan was no exception.
By the time of World War II, the cavalry had almost completely lost its role, but even if it was constantly abolished, these almost useless Japanese cavalry was still as proud as ever, and considered themselves superior, and even looked down on the infantry at all.Especially to the cavalry generals such as the Nishimura Major, the Nishimura Major is a Japanese nobleman, the ancestors of several generations are the Japanese cavalry generals, he also has the title of baron.Born in such a family, long-term edification, the West Village Major General from childhood proud and complacent, no one, self-righteous, psychological inflated thinking that he is the world's first, the world is invincible.
As a cavalry captain, the West Village has been coming to China for two or three years, originally thought that he could build a career, but he has not found an opportunity, his cavalry team has been arranged near the stone gate, responsible for patrolling along the Pinghan Railway, to protect the safety of the railway, can be said to be used as a patrol.Because the cavalry had completely fallen by this time, it could not play any role on the battlefield, and the consumption of cavalry was much greater than that of the infantry, and the money spent on training a cavalry was enough to train a class of infantry, and the North China sent troops even intended to abolish the cavalry brigade, but for various reasons did not succeed, in this case, how could it be possible to send them important tasks?
However, this time, Major General Nishimura finally received an important task, that is, the rapid reinforcement of the Longquangu Bridge, because the cavalry is highly mobile, and just not far from the Longquangu Bridge at that time, it will receive this task.However, the West Village hastened to slow down or slow down, has not yet arrived at the Longquangu Bridge, received the news that the bridge has been lost, the North China sent military headquarters ordered them to immediately return to the station, afraid that they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army main force, by the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, it would be a disgrace.
However, the arrogant Nishimura Major refused to let go of this opportunity for merit, and he wanted to use practical actions to prove to the military that in modern warfare, cavalry is not useless.Therefore, after receiving the evacuation order, the West Village Major General did not immediately order the troops to withdraw, but did not rush to the Longquangu Bridge, but temporarily stopped to rest and look for the aircraft.
It is also more fortunate that the major of the West Village is more fortunate, just met the independent regiment of the investigation company, a total of more than 50 fighters, so the battle took place, the Cavalry Brigade of the West Village can easily defeat the reconnaissance company, then found Liu Hong's vanguard.
The Major General Nishimura, whose confidence inflated, would naturally not miss the opportunity to perform this meritorious performance, so he launched the offensive order again in spite of everything, hoping to eliminate Liu Hong's vanguard in one fell swoop.
With the orders of the West Village Major General, the Japanese cavalry immediately gave up to continue to pursue the remaining dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers who fled, all under the leadership of the West Village Major General, and rushed to the vanguard.
Liu Hong with the soldiers in the direction of the river embankment all the way, took the time to look back, when you see the Japanese cavalry like a windy cloud generally running towards this side, Liu Hong is also a big change in face, hurriedly and loudly ordered: "Brothers!Speed up, be sure to catch the Japanese cavalry before catching up, rush up the riverbank!Hurry up!Hurry up!”
Without Liu Hong's reminder, the soldiers also know how dangerous the current situation is, once they are caught up by the Japanese cavalry, even if they are not killed by the young Japanese sabre, they will be attacked by the galloping horses and trampled to death.And it will die quite tragically, so the soldiers have all made the strength to eat milk, running all the way forward, just want to run on the river as soon as possible, although that may not necessarily block the Japanese cavalry, but at least there is a glimmer of life, it is better than waiting for death.
However, no matter how hard the soldiers run, it is impossible to run over the galloping horse, and the distance between the two sides is still rapidly shrinking.
Major General Nishimura looked at the approaching Eighth Route Army, his eyes gleamed with excitement, and shouted: "Empire warriors, let these damned earth eight roads see the power of our great Japanese cavalry, absolutely can not let them rush up the riverbank, stop them, kill them all!"Kill it!”
The call of the West Village Major General greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese, and the little Japanese were all excited, shouting and drinking, urging the horses to sit down and continue to run forward, and the distance continued to draw closer, six hundred meters, five hundred meters, four hundred meters.
At this time, excited little Japanese took off their horse guns and raised them to aim at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were running away in the distance, and a crisp gunshot sounded, and several slow-moving fighters fell to the ground.
At this time, several soldiers suddenly stopped and turned to shoot at the little devil, and a crisp gunshot sounded, and several young devils were shot and killed.
“Do not stop!Keep moving forward!Quickly!No one can stop, don't turn back!This is an order!”Liu Hong tugged at his voice and roared loudly.Because Liu Hong is very clear in his heart, if they resist at this time, although they can kill some small Japanese, but the final result must be the Japanese cavalry rushed down, but become the object of the Japanese cavalry massacre, and finally the whole army was destroyed, such an ending is definitely not Liu Hong want to see, and their only hope is to rush up the river as soon as possible.
The soldiers of the vanguard were all elite soldiers, and the ban was prohibited.Under Liu Hong's command, no one stopped, and even no one turned back, and everyone used their last strength to continue to rush forward.
Speaking of the long time, in fact, from the discovery of the Japanese cavalry, so far, only two or three minutes have passed, and these two or three minutes are enough to determine the victory or defeat of the battle, enough to determine the life and death of the pioneers.Looking at the river embankment that was close at hand, Liu Hong shouted again: "Continue to rush!“Go to the river!”
