Chapter 420: Heavy losses

However, his wish was dashed in an instant. The order to continue charging had just come out of his mouth. A dozen heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles on a battalion's position simultaneously fired a dense barrage of fire.

Rain of bullets... The dozen little Japanese cavalrymen who were charging at the front were immediately hit by bullets and fell into a pool of blood, including their men and their horses.

However, the remaining more than 300 little Japanese cavalry are worthy of being the most elite field cavalry of the Japanese army. As soon as they heard the sound of gunshots, the entire body of the cavalry soldiers immediately clung to the ground.

On the back of the horse, he was preparing to dodge the flying bullets... At the same time, he kept urging the horse under his crotch to speed up the charge...

As all the little devil cavalry retracted their heads, the bullets fired from the battalion's position had almost no great damage to the fast running, getting closer and closer to the little devils. The charging distance was tens of meters.

, only wiped out almost a small group of Japanese cavalry troops...

"Warriors, kill me... rush forward and eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the position..." Lieutenant Commander Yasuda, who had been charging at the end of the entire regiment as he watched the Eighth Route Army blocking position getting closer and closer, shouted loudly... However,

Just as he finished his command, huge obstacles made of war horse corpses and thick tree trunks suddenly appeared in front of the cavalry regiment, blocking their charge...

Looking at the huge obstacles in front of them, looking at the tall and extremely sharp tree tops, the little devils clinging to the horses had to slow down their charging speed and prepare to go around.

Overcoming these obstacles, they continued to charge... However, what they didn't know was that just as they were avoiding the huge obstacle dozens of meters wide in front of them, their charging speed had already slowed down invisibly.

"Comrades, hit me hard. Shoot the men first and the horses. Let me fire on the little devil's horse..." Looking at the little devil's charging speed, it slowly slowed down because he was an obstacle in front of the position.

At that time, a battalion commander personally fired a light machine gun and fired a hot tongue of flame at the little Japanese cavalry two hundred meters away...

"Da da da..." Finally, under intensive machine gun fire, those war horses that slowed down their charge fell into a pool of blood one after another. And the fierce offensive of the little devil was also wiped out by the soldiers in an instant.

They were stopped. However, after killing and wounding dozens of Japanese cavalrymen, the corpses of dozens of war horses had already piled up on a gentle slope in front of the obstacle.

The Japanese soldiers who followed closely behind looked at their comrades lying in a pool of blood in front of them. After seeing a gentle slope piled up with war horses, without any hesitation, they directly rode their own horses and rushed up the gentle slope with the help of the corpses of the war horses.

, prepare to overcome the obstacles in front of you...

However, when they took off into the air, they were shocked to find that behind the obstacle, there was no flat ground. There were also countless tall, sharpened tree trunks. Looking at the distance from them,

The body of the war horse was getting closer and closer, and the tree tops that had been shaved were extremely sharp. The little devil riding on the war horse couldn't help but let out a painful wail before death...

"Baga, you have been fooled. The Eighth Route Army is extremely cunning...chichichi..." Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of tree tops penetrating into the belly of the war horse reached his ears. A tragic war horse neighed,

The little devil riding on the war horse, under the maximum use of huge inertia, was directly thrown forward several meters by the injured war horse. Finally, he fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness.

Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous neighing of war horses, and dozens of little devils who also failed to discover the mystery behind the obstacles fell into a pool of blood, including men and horses... Finally, under the double blow of traps and bullets,

The more than 300 cavalrymen immediately lost one-third of their strength.

As the casualties of the soldiers in front increased, Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda, the last commander of the entire cavalry regiment, finally discovered the anomaly in front... Seeing nearly a hundred cavalrymen lying in a pool of blood, and seeing the intensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army

Under the blows, when the soldiers who fell to the ground were still shot, the face of the commander immediately turned pale...

"Baga, this is simply a massacre. The cavalry's tactics are not like this. You cannot attack blindly like this. Quick, order the troops to retreat immediately. Hurry, the troops will retreat immediately..." Lieutenant Commander Yasuda, commander of the regiment, said in the final stage

, reacting from the shock. At the rear of the army, he urged his own war horse, dodging the flying bullets, while giving the remaining cavalry troops a loud order to retreat...

"Hurry up, retreat..." "Baga, retreat..." Immediately, the Japanese attacking formation fell into chaos at the command of the commander. The soldiers screamed, the horses neighed... completely

Mixed into a group... However, in the face of dense bullets, these little devils still reacted to the shock in the shortest possible time, turned their horses' heads, and left this place that was dedicated to devouring the lives of cavalry...

However, although the Japanese army retreated in a very timely manner, during the continuous attacks, more than 300 cavalrymen, led by the commander of the regiment, Lieutenant Commander Yasuda, finally successfully retreated, leaving only about one squadron and 150 cavalrymen.

Ten cavalrymen. As the Japanese army retreated, the entire battlefield slowly fell into tranquility... Within a few hundred meters in front of the first battalion's position, there were corpses of little Japanese and Japanese soldiers everywhere... At the same time,

A dozen war horses that were lucky enough to be uninjured were walking back and forth on the bloody battlefield...

"Bagya Road... The Eighth Route Army is very cunning..." Looking at himself, there was only about a squadron of cavalry left in front of him. The eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda, the commander of the regiment, were about to burst out with anger... And there were more than a hundred cavalry left.

, was also stunned and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief...

In the end, in the face of heavy casualties, in order to leave some seeds for his cavalry regiment, the regiment commander gave up the idea of ​​continuing the attack. After leaving a small group of cavalry to serve as a guard, the remaining nearly a hundred soldiers continued to attack the regiment.

Under the leadership of captain Lieutenant Yasuda, he quickly left the battlefield and retreated to the location of the main force of the division...

As for the battalion that stayed on the position, after receiving the news that the artillery regiment behind it had safely retreated, there was no hesitation. After leaving all the machine gunners behind, the remaining troops also withdrew from the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

Disappeared within the sight of the little Japanese cavalry. He handed over a messy position filled with little Japanese corpses to the following small Japanese cavalry.

"Baga... It's your commander's fault, he's dead... bang bang bang..." Looking at the cavalry regiment commander Yasuda Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda, who retreated in embarrassment with only more than a hundred cavalry left in front of him.

The division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, could not help but burst into rage, and vented all the anger in his heart on Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda in front of him...

"Hi...Your Excellency, Division Commander...The Eighth Route Army laid a large number of mines in front of its artillery positions and built a strong fortification, and it was a fortification specifically aimed at our cavalry. My cavalry regiment cannot break through it at all.

Their fortifications cannot take advantage of the cavalry..." Enduring the burning pain on his face, Lieutenant Commander Yasuda quickly explained...

"Baga...you have a very bad conscience. You have lost so many outstanding imperial soldiers. Not only do you not show any remorse, but you also dare to find excuses. Bagalu... bang bang bang..." After a few more slaps, it turned out that

The division commander, whose face was full of anger, said angrily after hearing the reasons given by Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda in front of him...

"Hey, the division commander is right..." Looking at the eyes of the division commander who was about to spit out fire, Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda quickly lowered his head, not daring to say a word anymore, and let the division commander's palms

Hitting yourself in the face...

However, what the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, did not expect was that something even more irritating to him was yet to come. The anger in the division commander's heart slowly calmed down, and he was ready to ask the details of the cavalry regiment's attack failure.

When the situation happened, the division chief of staff, Colonel Tadayoshi Sano, ran over panting. However, it could be seen from the pale face of the chief of staff that what the chief of staff wanted to report must not be good news...

"Sano-kun, what happened? How unbecoming are you in such a panic..." Looking at the panting chief of staff running towards him, the division commander who originally planned to ask the cavalry commander in front of him about the specific battle situation, immediately turned around.

head, frowning, and asked dissatisfied...

"Hi, division commander. The results of the Eighth Route Army's shelling have just been calculated... The losses of the troops are very huge..." the chief of staff stammered...

"Nani, Sano-kun, if you have anything to say, just say it. I already know the news that almost the entire cavalry regiment was destroyed. If there are any other losses, I can't hear them. I will report them immediately." Division Commander

Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara looked at the Chief of Staff who was afraid to say something in front of him and asked loudly...

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. According to statistics just now, in less than ten minutes, the Eighth Route Army assembled a total artillery regiment of artillery and fired at least 1,500 artillery shells at our marching column, two-thirds of which

The artillery shells shot into the marching column, causing huge casualties to our army, especially the artillery regiment..." However, before Chief of Staff Sano Colonel Sano finished his sentence, the division commander Doihara Kenji

The lieutenant general couldn't help but interrupt the chief of staff in front of him.

"Baga...an artillery regiment, how could the Eighth Route Army have so many artillery...and more than a thousand artillery shells, Baga Road...Chief of Staff, I want to know the casualties of the soldiers, report the losses of the troops to me immediately,

be quick…"

"Hi, division commander... According to statistics, our army lost a total of 3,421 imperial soldiers, of which 2,438 were killed directly. In addition, a total of 29 of the 36 artillery pieces of the artillery wing were lost in the shelling... Now our field artillery

The regiment has completely lost its combat effectiveness..." After hearing the division commander's question, Chief of Staff Sano Colonel quickly replied.

"Baga... The Eighth Route Army is so cunning, I must kill them myself, Baga Road..." Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara cursed loudly as he looked at the officer beside him who lowered his head and said nothing.

.

"Reporting to your Excellency, the division commander, there is an emergency..." Just when the area around the division commander fell into a moment of silence due to his anger, a staff officer ran up to the division commander at an inappropriate time and said with panic on his face.

"Nani, what happened again?" Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara asked loudly to the staff officer in front of him with a pair of angry eyes.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, we just received a telegram from the reconnaissance force. Our vanguard reinforcement group and the Second Infantry Regiment behind us were attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the same time. The two units have...already..." Seeing someone almost killing someone in front of them

In the end, the staff officer in front of him did not have the courage to say the last few words...

"Bagge Ya Road, what's going on? Let's not say it's dead..." As he spoke, Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji, the division commander who had already had enough patience, finally drew out his general's sword. A flash of sword light flashed through

, the bright command knife has been placed next to the neck of the staff officer in front of him. As long as the division commander Lieutenant General Doihara Kenji exerts his hands, the staff officer in front of him will be separated from his body.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please spare your life..." Looking at the command sword that was placed on his neck, emitting a cold light, the staff officer who was already frightened and speechless quickly knelt on the ground and said... "Division Commander, the vanguard brigade and the 3rd

The Second Infantry Regiment was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and now both armies have been completely destroyed, collectively shattered by the Emperor..."

"Baga, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. There are five thousand people in the two armies, plus a large number of artillery. It's absolutely impossible for the entire army to be wiped out in such a short period of time. It's absolutely impossible. You must be disturbing the morale of the army.

, you're dead, you're dead..." As he spoke, the division commander, who had been shocked speechless by the shocking news, had not waited for others around him to react. With a push of his hands, a bunch of blood came out of the

The staff officer in front of him had gushing water coming from his neck. With a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, he fell heavily in front of the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara...

"Ah, division commander..." Looking at the staff officer who had fallen into a pool of blood and was motionless, several officers, stimulated by the blood, immediately recovered from their shock and let out a series of exclamations... However,

, after looking at the command sword still dripping with blood in the hands of the division commander, he immediately closed his mouth. He was deeply afraid that he would become the second ghost under the sword in the hands of the division commander...

"Baga, what are you doing? Chief of Staff, follow me to the front immediately to see what happened to the Second Infantry Regiment. Others, return to their command positions immediately, immediately..." Almost enough has passed.

It took five minutes for the division commander who had just killed someone to wake up from his shock and gave a loud order.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander..." Several officers replied quickly, and then ran towards their troops as if running away, away from the Division Commander who could explode at any time...

Immediately, at the command of the chief of staff, an elite infantry brigade and the remaining cavalry units of the cavalry regiment, under the command of the chief of staff, Colonel Sano, protected the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, and quickly moved towards several units.

The Second Infantry Regiment, kilometers away, rushed over...

However, as the distance between the two armies got closer and closer, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger. Even among the bloody smell, everyone also asked about the smell of barbecue... As the smell of blood became stronger and stronger,

Bursts of gunpowder smoke after the battle appeared in the eyes of several people. However, everyone could see a thick burst of gunpowder smoke rising a few miles away. However, what puzzled everyone was that,

I really can't hear any gunfire...

Could it be that his Second Infantry Regiment and thousands of Imperial Army soldiers were really wiped out... This was the division commander's first thought after seeing the scene in front of him. However, within a split second, this thought was replaced by

I rejected it because my Second Infantry Regiment plus the Forward Reinforcement Brigade were a total of 5,000 elite imperial troops, and they were also equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower. Even if the Eighth Route Army gathered enough troops, it would be impossible for them to do so.

In a short period of time, all five thousand people were wiped out, leaving no one left...

However, the result will soon be revealed, because the increasingly thick smell of blood has told everyone that the battlefield is getting closer and closer to them... Finally, after a group of people climbed over a ridge, the entire

The battlefield finally appeared in front of these little devils...

To everyone's surprise, on the battlefield that stretched for several kilometers, there were billowing smoke rising everywhere... And in this billowing smoke, I didn't find a single living imperial soldier... Here.

The road that had been blasted out of countless deep pits was almost completely dyed red with the blood of the soldiers. There were broken limbs and broken arms of the soldiers everywhere, and the blown-out internal organs and intestines could also be seen everywhere... And each one had missing limbs and severed parts.

Arm's corpses, without exception, were all lying scattered around these craters...

"Baga, how is it possible...Chief of Staff, check it out for me. I want to know how the Eighth Route Army wiped out the Second Infantry Regiment in the shortest time. Find out..." Looking at the tragic scene in front of me, although these little

The Japs are all battle-hardened. However, there are still many young Japs who couldn't help but start vomiting after seeing the scene in front of them. Even the division commander, Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, couldn't help but vomit.

With his command knife, he split the half-burned tree trunk in front of him into two, venting his anger and confusion...

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible..." the Chief of Staff quickly replied.
