Chapter 696: The Nemesis of Infantry

"Your Excellency, Army Commander, the commanders of the Sixth and Seventh newly formed divisions reported that the troops were suddenly hit hard by unknown artillery fire and the troops suffered heavy losses. In addition, we and the newly formed Sixth and Seventh Divisions

The communication between them was also completely cut off by the Northeast Field Army who suddenly launched an attack..." In the Japanese temporary armored command vehicle, the chief of staff quickly browsed the message he had just received. He faced the anxious Lieutenant General Nakajima in front of him.

, replied with a hint of panic.

"On Bageya Road, the cunning Chinese people dare to ambush my 50,000-strong army. However, it is simply a delusion to use artillery fire to eliminate the strength of two of my divisions. Now I order: The 10th Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, immediately

Build an artillery position and prepare to launch a counterattack. Tell Daisaku Sato that you must suppress the enemy's artillery fire in the shortest possible time, cover the two divisions, and launch a counterattack towards the China position..." After learning the specific situation, Lieutenant General Nakajima

With his mentality, he immediately came up with a specific solution, and then gave a decisive order to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Army Commander..."

"In addition, order the Sixth Tank Regiment and the Guard Regiment directly under the headquarters to immediately build defensive positions with the artillery regiment as the center to respond to possible attacks by the Northeast Field Army at any time. At the same time, call back to the two division commanders and order

The two divisions, under the fire cover of the field heavy artillery regiment, immediately broke through the Chinese defense line and assembled towards the artillery position." Lieutenant General Nakajima continued to order.

Lieutenant General Nakajima's order had just been issued. The 36 105mm large-caliber howitzers towed behind the truck of the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment were quickly unloaded with the efforts of more than a thousand artillerymen. Then, under a

Under the control of the famous gunner, he quickly raised his own dark muzzle, making final preparations for a counterattack...

Tens of minutes later, under the command of Captain Sato of the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, they began to counterattack. However, just as they were full of confidence, they just fired a round of artillery shells. Two and three heavy artillery divisions directly under the Northeast Field Army

The regiment, with a total of more than 70 150-caliber howitzers, under the command of division commander Chen Guangrong, launched a resolute counterattack.

More than thirty 105mm howitzers and more than seventy 150mm howitzers fired at each other. Without any thinking, you can clearly guess what the final result will be.

In less than five minutes, the field heavy artillery regiment, which the Japanese army had given great hope to, lost all its heavy artillery in a very simple manner under the heavy artillery division's counterattack, and then withdrew from the battlefield in embarrassment.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, the Field Heavy Artillery Regiment was suddenly hit by a devastating blow from China's heavy artillery force during the counterattack. According to Captain Sato's report, all 36 large-caliber howitzers in the entire Field Heavy Artillery Regiment were lost.

, officially withdrawing from the battlefield..."

The chief of staff's report was like a thunder that shocked Nakajima.

In the eyes of senior officers of the Kwantung Army, although the Northeast Field Army continues to develop and grow, with a total strength of more than 400,000 astonishing, their equipment cannot surpass the elite Kwantung Army troops.

But now, his current opponent, the Northeast Field Army, not only has no disadvantage in front of his field heavy artillery regiment, but also has a huge advantage. In just a few minutes, his artillery regiment hit all the targets in the exchange of fire.

The destruction of the army was simply unimaginable in the eyes of Lieutenant General Nakajima.

However, as a lieutenant general, his palace is still very deep. After only a brief shock, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face slowly returned to reason. Then, he said to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Chief of Staff, it seems that we have underestimated our opponents... Judging from the current heavy firepower equipment of the Northeast Field Army, their equipment has exceeded that of our Kwantung Army. If nothing else happens, the purpose of the Northeast Field Army's operation this time is

They must want to annihilate my 50,000-strong army."

"Now I order: the Armored Regiment and the Guard Regiment each send a squadron of troops to attack immediately to reinforce the newly formed 6th and 7th divisions and break through the Northeast Field Army's defense line. At the same time, I order the two divisions Akinaga and Yamada

Commander, immediately move closer to the headquarters, prepare to build defenses with the headquarters as the center, and wait for reinforcements..."

"Communications staff officer, immediately report the news of the ambush of our reinforcements to the Kwantung Army headquarters through the radio. Request the Kwantung Army headquarters to immediately send reinforcements to reinforce our army..."

"Ha Yi...Your Majesty the Army Commander..."

When Lieutenant General Nakajima put his expectations back on the two newly formed divisions before and after the pile-up, he did not know that after ten minutes of artillery preparations, the two new divisions had already reached a critical moment of life and death.

The remaining nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers of the newly formed Sixth Division, under the command of the division commander, Major General Qiu Yong, have been heavily surrounded by the two main divisions. Under the suppressive attack of the two divisions' powerful firepower, their occupied areas

, is being gradually compressed, slowly heading towards the end of destruction.

The newly formed Seventh Division was even more straightforward. Ten minutes of artillery preparation was enough for more than 4,000 cavalrymen from the cavalry division to successfully charge to the Japanese position and launch the final attack.

Just when the horrifying bombardment finally subsided on the newly formed 7th Division's position that had been bombed into ruins, the thundering roar of the collective charge of four thousand cavalry had already reached the battlefield.

Go up, in the ears of all the little devils. Listen to the thundering roar that keeps ringing in your ears, and feel the earth that has begun to tremble.

The division chief of staff, who was lying next to the division commander, Major General Ueda, quickly raised the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the roar. He didn't know it, but he was shocked when he saw it. In the dark night

, a sword array composed of sabers, emitting bursts of chilling cold light, was running towards him quickly.

Looking at the chief of staff, who was getting closer and closer to him, and could already hear the neighing of the war horses, his face immediately turned pale. Then, facing Major General Ueda beside him, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Division Commander

Your Excellency, the cavalry, the Chinese cavalry force..."

"Baga..." At the prompt of the chief of staff beside him, Major General Ueda, who also saw the situation in front of him clearly, also had a look of shock and was dumbfounded.

As the division commander, Major General Ueda's psychology is very clear. In the vast plains, without enough heavy weapons for support, he is still scattered everywhere, and thousands of infantry have not had time to assemble. Among the infantry

Nemesis~ In front of the cavalry, he can be called a lamb to be slaughtered...

However, in just a moment, Major General Ueda quickly stood up from the ground with the help of the guards around him. Then, waving the sharp command knife in his hand, he roared loudly at the remaining combat staff around him.

.

"Bageya Road, what are you still doing? Order the troops to assemble immediately. All the light and heavy firepower of the entire army will be concentrated immediately and start shooting. We must block the offensive of the Chinese cavalry troops. Hurry, go and convey the order immediately..."

"The division commander ordered that the troops assemble immediately. All light and heavy machine guns were deployed forward and opened fire immediately to block the offensive of the Chinese cavalry troops..." Immediately, one by one, combat staff officers faced the troops scattered everywhere on the battlefield.

, shouted loudly.

However, as the cavalry troops get closer and closer, the thundering sound of horse hooves has, to a certain extent, covered up everything on the battlefield. The Kwantung Army troops scattered in various places have not yet received the order, and the cavalry swarmed in

The group has already charged to a place within easy reach...

"Cavalry division, charge... kill..." A loud roar came from the mighty cavalry team. Following closely behind, thousands of cavalry soldiers raised their shining sabers at the same time.

He raised his head and then roared loudly.

"kill…."

In front of the murderous, thundering roars of the soldiers, the thunderous sound of horse hooves was immediately covered up mercilessly. Looking at the murderous cavalry group in front of him, getting closer and closer to him, the division commander Major General Ueda also endured

His face couldn't help but change. Then, he closed his eyes with a look of despair.

Because he knew that when the troops had not completed the assembly and there was not enough firepower to block the cavalry offensive, the cavalry group in front of them could easily break through their own defense line and wave their sabers unscrupulously on their own positions.

The heads of Kwantung Army soldiers next.

And the nearly 10,000 recruits under his command, under the offensive of the Northeast Field Army cavalry group, faced the rampaging cavalry troops, faced with the bloody battlefield left behind after the cavalry swept past, what kind of situation would happen? Needless to say,

Major General Ueda knew very well that the new soldiers in his hands would definitely become lambs to be slaughtered in front of the cavalry...

Major General Ueda, the division commander, faced the attack of the Northeast Field Army cavalry group and closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the cavalry to arrive. The chief of staff beside him, as well as the guards responsible for protecting Major General Ueda, were

Very anxious. Because their life and death are linked to Major General Ueda in front of them. If Major General Shaotian appears in something unexpected during the battle, then there is only one result waiting for them, and that is to apologize...

Thinking of this, the division chief of staff did not hesitate at all and gave a decisive order to the guard squadron leader beside him.

"Ohno-kun, I leave the safety of the division commander to you. We must ensure that the division commander is safely delivered to the headquarters. I will stick here, lead the remaining troops of the division, and fight to the death to stop the China Cavalry.

The group's attack will provide you with as much time as possible."

"Ha Yi, please rest assured, Chief of Staff, I am humble enough to guarantee the completion of the mission..." After saying that, regardless of the opposition of Major General Ueda beside him, he commanded several security personnel, held the division commander, and began to retreat to the rear...

The departure of the division commander made the staff officer breathe a long sigh of relief. Then, he immediately organized an infantry brigade that had just been assembled around him to prepare for a counterattack head-on, so as to gain as much as possible for the retreating division commander behind him.

time.

"Kill..." However, before he had time to issue the order, a thundering roar sounded once again on the battlefield. The dense cavalry group, in a short minute, had successfully rushed to the battlefield without any obstacles, even

In front of the Japanese position without ordinary trenches.

A piece of sword light flashed in front of the formation, followed closely by each other, with bunches of blood flowers flying high into the sky following the direction of the swords in the hands of the warriors. In the end, it was like a

Like footballs, they returned to the ground. As for the headless corpses in front of the position, they stood on the ground for several seconds under the shocked eyes of the Japanese soldiers behind them, and then fell heavily to the ground.

In a pool of blood...

Of course, in the battle between cavalry and infantry, it is a very good ending to be able to leave a headless corpse. Under the dense hooves of the cavalry group, countless headless corpses were trampled into a pile of flesh as soon as they reached the bottom.

….

"BaGeYa Road, they are devils, they are devils..." Under the fierce attack of the cavalry group, before seeing the bloody scene in front of the position, countless little devils were frightened and stunned. Then, motionless

Standing there, waiting for the sharp saber to strike hard at his neck, thus ending his life.

Of course, more little devils let out horrifying screams one after another. Following the trend of the rout, they dropped the weapons in their hands that might become a hindrance to them, and began to retreat desperately...

However, no matter how fast they fled, they could not run faster than a four-legged war horse. Standing in front of them, nearly a thousand dumbfounded little devils were frantically hacked and killed by the cavalry group. The entire cavalry group immediately started to move forward with battalion.

As a unit, they divided into several groups and began to conduct a frantic pursuit of the fleeing Japs...

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Army Commander, Your Excellency Qiu Yong of the newly established Sixth Division sent a telegram: The troops were besieged by at least two main divisions of the Northeast Field Army. At present, the entire division has suffered more than half of its casualties. The remaining troops were under fierce siege by the Northeast Field Army.

It has been compressed into a small area of ​​less than two kilometers in length and less than one kilometer in width..."

Looking at Lieutenant General Nakajima, who was frowning in front of him, the Chief of Staff did not hesitate and decisively put forward his thoughts.

"Your Excellency, Army Commander, I humbly believe that with the current strength of the Sixth Division, we simply do not have the strength to break through. We should immediately dispatch troops, strengthen the offensive, break through the Northeast Field Army's defense line in the shortest possible time, and open up the connection with the newly formed Sixth Division.

The communication channel of the regiment. Otherwise, the Sixth Division, without the cover of heavy weapons, will not be able to hold on for long."

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, ordered the Sixth Tank Regiment to once again send two squadrons of tanks to join the battle. At the same time, two infantry squadrons were dispatched from the Guard Regiment and the Self-Weight Regiment to join the battle. Tell all departments

The highest officer must break through the defense line within half an hour, otherwise military law will be imposed." Under the reminder of the chief of staff beside him, Lieutenant General Nakajima ordered decisively.

"Ha Yi, your Excellency the Army Commander..."

"Chief of Staff, how is the situation of the newly formed 7th Division? Is there any new news?" Lieutenant General Nakajima asked.

"At present, the headquarters has not received any telegrams about the newly formed 7th Division. However, according to the forward observation post report, the 7th Division was once again attacked by the Northeast Field Army Cavalry Group after being hit by fierce artillery fire for ten minutes.

Assault. At present, the entire battle has entered a fever pitch..."

"Cavalry group..." Upon hearing these people, Lieutenant General Nakajima's face turned pale in an instant. Then, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Ha Yi, according to the report from the forward observation post, the entire cavalry group has a total strength of at least 4,000 people. In addition, according to the report, under the fierce offensive of the Northeast Field Army Cavalry Group, the positions of the new 7th Division have collapsed. At present, Cunning

The cavalry group is spreading out to pursue my retreating Kwantung Army troops..." the chief of staff replied affirmatively.

Although Lieutenant General Nakajima, as the commander of the army, was not able to visit the battlefield in person and see the specific battle conditions. However, based on the report from the chief of staff in front of him, a tragic scene immediately emerged in Lieutenant General Nakajima's mind:

Thousands of unarmed soldiers of the newly formed 7th Division were brutally massacred in front of the Chinese cavalry.

Thinking that the newly formed 7th Division, with nearly 10,000 Kwantung Army soldiers, might end up being completely destroyed by the frantic massacre of thousands of cavalrymen from the Northeast Field Army. Lieutenant General Nakajima couldn't help but feel a twinge in his heart.

The chill. Then, he gave a decisive order to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Asshole, I really didn't expect that the commander of China would use the most primitive cavalry troops even though my reinforcements were equipped with a large number of tanks. Bagh Yalu, do they really think that the soldiers of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan were appointed

Are their cavalry troops arrogant on our position?"

"Chief of Staff, please send me an order immediately. I order Colonel Xia Yuan, commander of the Sixth Tank Regiment, to lead two brigades of tank troops, under the cover of an infantry brigade of the Guard Regiment, to immediately attack and annihilate China.

Cavalry troops. Use the blood of the Chinese cavalry troops to avenge the shattered imperial warriors..."

"Ha Yi, your Excellency, Army Commander, is wise and humble enough to give orders right away..."

It is the bounden duty of soldiers to execute orders. As soon as Lieutenant General Nakajima's order was issued, the first to move was the guard regiment closest to the headquarters. An infantry brigade was assembled in less than ten minutes.

.Then, under the command of his captain, he quickly moved towards the defense line of the outer tank regiment.

The troops of an infantry brigade of the Guard Regiment had just arrived at the forefront. Two large groups of sixty chariots in total commanded by Captain Shimomoto of the Chariot Regiment followed closely behind and entered the position in a mighty manner.
