    At 3:30 in the morning, the vanguard of the Japanese cavalry finally appeared in the sight of Li Guoyao and others.

    By the faint moonlight, Li Guoyao and others saw a powerful cavalry appearing on the mountain road in the distance. From a high position, they could feel the momentum of this cavalry unit coming towards them.

    This is definitely a battle-tested iron-blooded cavalry, a truly elite force!

    Because they had to wait for the infantry behind them, the cavalry did not gallop on their horses, but walked quickly in order.

    But even so, the cavalry is much faster than the infantry, and the distance between the two sides is about one kilometer.

    And because of the physical gap between the infantry personnel, some people were on the verge of falling behind, making the entire march very long.

    In fact, such a long marching team is not very good for ambush warfare. After all, the ambush circle is so large. Once the enemy's marching team is too long, some of them will definitely slip through the net.

    However, what Li Guoyao and others did not expect was that the little Japanese suddenly stopped when they were about to enter the ambush circle, and this pause lasted for more than ten minutes.

    Including Li Guoyao, everyone became nervous. Did the little devil find something abnormal, or did something happen on their side?

    You must know that any accident on the battlefield will have a huge impact on this ambush battle, and everyone is worried about making mistakes in the last move.

    In fact, it was not the kid who felt the danger, but Colonel Kuroshima who was dissatisfied with the marching speed of his troops.

    As a soldier, Hei Dao is proud. Although his Hei Dao Cavalry Regiment has not been established for a long time, it has participated in many large-scale battles and achieved very good results.

    Even on Army Day last month, his cavalry regiment returned to Tokyo on behalf of the Corps Headquarters to participate in a review in front of His Majesty the Emperor's Imperial Palace, winning the praise of His Majesty the Emperor.

    And he is also very satisfied with these soldiers under his command, thinking that they are the best soldiers and the strongest warriors in the world.

    However, when these cavalrymen gave up their horses to the tired infantrymen, Hei Dao discovered that the cavalrymen who had lost their horses were not as good as ordinary infantrymen.

    You must know that the infantry can still maintain a considerable speed when running forward, and the queue will not be chaotic.

    But the soldiers of his cavalry regiment were in complete chaos after dismounting and running. Some of them couldn't keep up with the physical strength and became exhausted after running for a few kilometers. Others ran around regardless of the previous infantry.  There is absolutely no comparison when running forward.

    This makes the proud Hei Dao very dissatisfied. He always believes that cavalry is still cavalry, even if there is no war horse, it is faster than infantry.

    In the end, he was severely slapped in the face by reality. In desperation, he had to order the troops to stop temporarily for a few minutes and wait for the delayed troops behind.

    Ten minutes later, when all the soldiers caught up, Hei Dao immediately ordered the troops to continue moving forward.

    Soon, the Japanese reinforcements entered Li Guoyao's ambush circle.

    There are cavalry in front, followed closely by infantry, which stretches endlessly, obviously there are not many troops.

    Li Guoyao had anticipated this situation, so he arranged the ambush circle to be large and long, with enough space to accommodate these Japanese soldiers.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao did not rush to order the troops to fire. Instead, he asked the soldiers to communicate with each other. Don't be nervous. You cannot fire without an order.

    Another ten minutes passed, and all the Japanese soldiers entered the ambush circle. At this time, the leading Japanese troops had arrived not far away from Li Guoyao and others.

    Li Guoyao could see clearly that the leader was a small group of cavalry, more than thirty knights, all very strong, and the leader was a tall and powerful second lieutenant officer.

    These Japanese cavalrymen carry carbines on their backs. Judging from the shape, they should be the most common Type 44 cavalry of the Japanese cavalry. They carry sharp sabers on their waists.

    But now neither the saber nor the lance has been taken out. Most of the knights are holding the reins in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand, lighting the way for their horses while running.

    After all, we were marching at night, and we were marching on mountain roads. Even if there was moonlight, we couldn't see clearly. We could only use flashlights for auxiliary lighting, and the ordinary infantrymen behind could only hold torches.

    Li Guoyao smiled coldly and signaled the soldiers to be quiet and prepare to fight.

    As the commander of this cavalry unit, Colonel Kuroshima was in a very bad mood. He originally planned to return to Zaozhuang within two hours, but now he will have enough for two hours soon.It has been an hour, but according to the map, we have just arrived at Fortress Ridge and are still about ten kilometers away from Zaozhuang City.

    But he also knew that the soldiers under his command were very tired. After all, most of them had been marching and fighting for four or five days continuously, and they had been fighting all day during the day yesterday.  It's reached its limit, no matter how much I urge it, it's useless, I can only do this.

    At this time, Hei Dao was holding his breath. He wanted to rush to Zaozhuang as soon as possible, use his samurai sword to completely destroy the Japanese soldiers' will to resist, and let the despicable Japanese who did not know how to fight fair fight in Hei Dao.  The cavalry regiment's horses trembled under their hooves, allowing them to appreciate what the style of Chrysanthemum and Sword is.

    Of course, Colonel Kuroshima never dreamed that there were more than 4,000 Chinese troops ambush on the gentle slopes on both sides of the mountain road, and they were also the elite main force of Li Guoyao's army.

    If he had known, he would not have been in such a hurry anyway, let alone think so arrogantly about how to destroy the Chinese army outside Zaozhuang City.

    Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Guoyao raised the signal gun high and then pulled the trigger first!

    "Bang bang bang"

    Three red signal flares quickly rose into the sky, and then dragged out streaks of brilliant red in mid-air!

    Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen flares were raised into the sky, and the dazzling white light instantly illuminated the mountain road!

    The flare is the order to fire, while the illumination flare illuminates the battlefield and indicates the attack target for the soldiers.

    In an instant, the troops on both sides of the ambush circle opened fire at the same time, and dense bullets came towards the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain!

    Throwing down the flare gun, Li Guoyao took out his sniper rifle, quickly locked onto a lieutenant officer, and immediately pulled the trigger!

    "Bang", the gun went off!

    I saw that the cavalry lieutenant was shot in the head, then fell off his horse and became motionless.

    The moment the gunfire rang out, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the hillside opened fire at the same time, using light and heavy machine guns, grenades, and grenade launchers to attack these hateful invaders.

    The Japanese army was suddenly attacked, and their position was immediately confused. In addition, the cavalry itself was a very large target, and countless casualties were immediately scattered all over the country.

    "And what Li Guoyao didn't know was that the people controlling the horses at this time were not real cavalry, but ordinary infantry.

    "These infantrymen can only barely allow the war horses to move forward when riding on war horses. It is obviously impossible for them to control the war horses in combat.

    With the fierce firepower of Li Guoyao's troops, puffs of blood mist flew out of the Japanese army in the middle of the mountain road, and corpses were thrown up high and fell to the ground.

    Just like what was filmed in the movie, the Japs¡¯ thousands of reinforcements fell into panic!

    In order to increase the firepower, Li Guoyao specially ordered a large number of light and heavy machine guns to be added. Although they only have more than 4,000 people now, they have more than 100 light and heavy machine guns in total.

    "Don't think that more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns don't seem to be many, but you must know that even the fifth division with the most powerful combat effectiveness of the Little Japanese Army only has more than 300 light and heavy machine guns in its troops.

    The Fifth Division is the most powerful Class A division in the Japanese army. The entire division has more than 28,000 soldiers. However, Li Guoyao's mere few thousand soldiers are equipped with more than 100 light and heavy machine guns. This firepower  Absolutely beyond imagination.

    Under the attack of so much automatic firepower, the casualties of the Japs rose rapidly. In less than ten minutes, more than a thousand cavalry in front were wiped out, and the troops behind also suffered heavy losses.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
