    "Da da da"

    "Boom boom boom"

    The ambush battle outside Fengtai County is still going on. Xu Hu has deployed a full infantry regiment and two powerful machine gun battalions on the ambush position. There are nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns alone. The firepower is so powerful that not only  The Japanese had never seen it before, and even Xu Hu saw it for the first time.

    With such powerful firepower, the power it unleashes is also extremely terrifying.

    When a dense firepower network composed of hundreds of flames enveloped the little Japanese cavalry, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell together with their horses, causing countless casualties.

    Seeing that the knights around him were being killed and injured continuously, Colonel Hoshizentaro's heart felt cold. He was really stunned by the sudden blow.

    Zentaro Hoshi was not a commander with rich combat experience. Before he was promoted to captain of the Third Division Cavalry Regiment, he was just a combat section chief at the base camp staff headquarters. His main task was to assist the big guys in the base camp in formulating combat plans.

    Actually, this is to put it nicely. In fact, most of the time it is the big guys who make the decisions, and Hoshi Zentaro and others just prepare some information and materials needed for those big guys to make plans.

    Although he has been in the army for more than 20 years, and through his own efforts and family connections, he has been promoted to the level of Captain of the Colonel-General, he has never been on the battlefield a few times.

    It can be said that all the combat experience of Zentaro Hoshi was learned on the Chinese battlefield, but in the previous battles, they all went smoothly. Basically, they were chasing the Chinese army to attack, but they were surrounded by people like this.  This was the first time I was beaten.

    In panic, Zentaro Hoshi immediately ordered the remaining cavalry to fight back immediately!

    However, although the cavalry is equipped with lances, the power of the lances is very limited. Especially when faced with light and heavy machine guns that spray steel bullets, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

    ¡°Moreover, Hoshi Zentaro and others were horrified to discover that no matter which direction his men charged to break through, they would soon be shot wildly from the other two directions, and any counterattack that was easily formed would be quickly defeated.

    Less than half an hour after the battle began, his fully-equipped cavalry regiment had only four to five hundred men left, with more than two-thirds of the casualties.

    In desperation, Hoshi Zentaro could only order the troops to continue counterattack while asking for help from the division headquarters behind.

    However, before their rescue telegram could be sent out, a mortar shell fell next to the operator. With a violent explosion, the operator and the radio were blown high into the air. After falling,  It turned directly into a pile of discarded parts.

    The sudden change made Hoshi Zentaro and others turn pale, and their hearts suddenly fell to the bottom. If they could not ask for help from the division headquarters, the consequences would be disastrous.

    Outside the ambush position, Xu Hu personally took command, and the main force had withdrawn north. At this time, they were the only ambush force left outside Fengtai County.

    ¡°And according to the intelligence sent back by the scouts, the main force of the Japanese Third Division is twenty kilometers away, so there is not much time left for them.

    In view of the fact that the little devil¡¯s reinforcements would arrive soon, Xu Hu ordered people to continuously snipe and kill Japanese commanders and technical units on the Japanese positions, while ordering the artillery to fire continuously to support the frontline troops in operations.

    Most of the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement have been killed or injured, and the remaining few hundred people obviously no longer have the ability to break out of the encirclement, so Xu Hu calmly accepted the challenge, and then ordered the troops to continuously compress the living space of the Japanese soldiers.

    Following Xu Hu¡¯s order, the encirclement circle was quickly reduced by one-third, and the Japanese cavalry suddenly felt that the space for detours was much smaller.

    Hoshi Zentaro has already felt the breath of death. His troops are suffering casualties every moment. Now there are less than 400 cavalry left in the entire encirclement. If the fight continues like this, even if the Chinese army does not advance,  In the final battle with them, they won't be able to hold on much longer.

    In view of this, Hoshi Zentaro decided to launch a desperate breakout operation. It would be good to get out, but if not, everyone would die on the way to the charge.

    I have to say that the fighting spirit of these little devils is still very tenacious, and the spirit of Bushido is vividly reflected in them. Even in this desperate situation, these little devils think of a desperate blow instead of surrender.

    From this point alone, these Japanese soldiers are stronger than most of the national army!

    However, these Japanese soldiers are all elite soldiers created by the Japanese government with all its efforts. Most of them have been serving for more than three years.Most of the veterans and officers are top students who graduated from the Army Corps and Army University. In addition, they have experienced the baptism of the Russo-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War and the First World War. The quality of these Japanese soldiers is unprecedentedly excellent.

    As the Sino-Japanese War continued to drag on, and the scale of the war continued to expand, the Japanese veterans suffered heavy losses. By 1939, the first batch of veterans who invaded China had almost lost all their casualties.  Quality has dropped significantly.

    From that time on, the Japanese army no longer claimed that the Imperial Japanese Army was invincible, let alone the arrogant talk of how long it would take to destroy China.  Also from that time on, some of the little devils continued to surrender to the Chinese army on the battlefield.

    But that¡¯s another story. At least so far, the quality of the little devil is still surprising.

    ¡°And since ancient times, most of us Easterners have believed that soldiers must kill themselves on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather, or be sealed as a wolf and live in a coven. Apart from this, there is no third option.

    Defeat is an unacceptable defeat, and surrender is an unforgivable shame. Therefore, most of the time, Easterners on the battlefield are often more brave and fearless than Westerners, and even appear irrational.

    As a country deeply influenced by Chinese culture, Japan is as stubborn as China in this regard, and is even more extreme and cruel.

    According to the consistent education of the Japanese army, being a prisoner is the most shameful thing. It will not only embarrass the head of the family, but also bring harm to family members and friends.

    Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the Japanese army will not surrender. Even if they are really on the verge of despair, they will die for their country.

    Following Zentaro Hoshi¡¯s order to break out of the encirclement, the remaining 400 Japanese soldiers rushed towards the defense line on the left side of the encirclement. Under the command of their officers, they rushed towards the defenders¡¯ defense line like crazy.

    From the perspective of the Japanese cavalry, heading south is the direction where the main force of the division and regiment is located. As long as they break through the encirclement of the Chinese army, they can meet up with reinforcements.

    However, Xu Hu was well prepared. The Japanese army had just launched a charge, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns on the defenders' side were all set up and then opened fire at the same time.

    Dozens of light and heavy machine guns and a large number of rifles fired at the same time. The power was extremely terrifying. The dense bullets instantly devoured the remaining soldiers of the little devil.

    This is a collision between cavalry and heavy machine gun-based automatic firepower. It is a contest between speed and steel bullets!

    In fact, the outcome of this battle has been doomed from the beginning. As an arm that is about to end, the cavalry has actually begun to decline after the emergence of automatic firepower.

    It is undeniable that the cavalry still has strong mobility and close combat capabilities. For example, in the scene described in the movie "War Horse", the British cavalry troops swept across the German military camps in the wilderness. At first, they were overwhelming and overwhelming.  Very exciting to see.

    However, the final result of these cavalry was that they were wiped out in front of the Maxim machine gun position on the edge of the forest

    The current situation is the same. When the crazy Japanese cavalry, under the command of their captain Zentaro Hoshi, rushed towards the dense machine gun fire points on the defenders' position, they soon suffered a devastating blow.

    With a distance of less than 200 meters, more than 300 to 400 cavalrymen were slaughtered in less than five minutes. All Japanese cavalrymen, including Hoshizentaro, fell to the ground and no one was spared.

    As the last cavalryman fell to the ground, the Chinese troops outside the encirclement immediately stopped shooting!

    Xu Hu did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the troops to clear the battlefield immediately, collect the panicked horses, and carry out last-ditch attacks on all Japanese cavalry (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
