Rise From Eight Hundred

Charge, charge wildly, the Chinese cavalry wielded sabers and rushed through the positions of the already scattered Japanese infantry, rushed through the first artillery position, and killed most of the khaki in sight, but did not stop, nor did they care about the Japanese artillery who had lost their fighting spirit and ran around.

There was no need to fire flares at all. In order to see the enemy in front of them, the panicked Japanese army was full of rising flares on the huge battlefield, and the line of sight was clear to two or three hundred meters.

"Charge!" Gong Shaoxun killed a Japanese soldier and kicked the horse's belly and swung his sword forward.

Keep moving forward, like a sharp knife, cutting the huge cake of the heavy artillery brigade into pieces, this is the main combat task of the cavalry.

The cavalry carried the speed and the power of the saber. Wherever they passed, the Japanese army was like snow poured on soup, and the ice melted in an instant. The smooth progress was far beyond Gong Shaoxun's expectation.

But Gong Shaoxun was not carried away by the victory in front of him. He strictly ordered the cavalry not to chase and kill the Japanese fleeing soldiers, nor did he blow up the huge cannons with cold light flashing from the muzzles under the flares. That was done by the infantry.

With their horse speed, the infantry could not keep up. They might be surrounded by the Japanese army after they reacted alone, and they would be killed in the wilderness by the Japanese army with various firearms. This depends on the command art and will of the cavalry commander.

Whether they can break through obstacles with speed and smash all resistance with sabers.

200 meters away, a group of khaki busy figures were clearly visible. Gong Shaoxun vaguely saw the cold light flashing from the muzzles of the khaki guns, and his back was inexplicably cold.

"Kill them!" Turning the horses' heads, and increasing the speed of the horses at the same time.

The cavalry followed their commanders and turned to kill the Japanese positions that tried to shoot at them.

The good luck of the cavalry battalion ended here.

The Japanese troops on the opposite side had obviously set up defenses. Before the Chinese cavalry rushed over, a horrifying gunshot suddenly sounded on the Japanese position!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Gong Shaoxun, who was riding on a warhorse and starting to speed up, suddenly felt two strong winds passing by his ears. The warhorse, which had always been obedient, actually neighed loudly and slowed down from acceleration. It was the machine gun that made the well-trained warhorse instinctively feel terrified.

There were also horses neighing around him. When he turned his head quickly, he saw that the two cavalrymen who were following him had been killed by machine guns. The head of one cavalryman disappeared completely, and the right body of the other cavalryman had also disappeared.

Blood gushed out, but the remains were still sitting on the horse. The warhorse under him should have felt the warmth of his comrade's blood, and raised its front hoof in panic, and the shrill neigh of the horse resounded throughout the battlefield.

"Machine gun! This is a machine gun! The Japanese army is also equipped with machine guns!" Gong Shaoxun's eyes suddenly turned red.

The cavalrymen who were speeding up should have been frightened by this extremely tragic scene, and their horses slowed down quietly.

But the battlefield would not stop because of the hesitation of a group of Chinese cavalrymen.

"Boom boom boom..." On the front position, the terrible machine guns of the Japanese army sounded violently again.

It was like being hit hard by the sickle wielded by the god of death. The cavalrymen who rushed to the front either fell off their horses silently or fell heavily to the ground with their horses.

There was no human voice, only the desperate neighing of the horses before they died.

It was definitely an extremely bloody scene. Whenever a person was hit by a machine gun shell, the human body was basically half broken, and even the huge body of the warhorse was left with large holes visible to the naked eye. The strong smell of blood spread across the battlefield.

The Chinese cavalrymen did not know that this was a 25mm machine gun equipped by the anti-aircraft artillery regiment under the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, which was dedicated to air defense, with a total of 18 guns.

This anti-aircraft machine gun, named Type 96 in Japan, has a theoretical firing rate of 260 rounds per minute. It is the only standard machine gun equipped by the Japanese Navy and Army. It is divided into three types: single-mounted, twin-mounted, and triple-mounted.

The cavalry encountered a twin-mounted 25mm machine gun.

Fortunately, they were not facing the entire anti-aircraft artillery regiment. According to the principle of triangular position air defense, the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade placed the 18 25mm machine guns of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment in three directions of the position, and each air defense position had six twin-mounted 25mm machine guns.

Even more fortunately, since the disappearance of Chinese fighter planes in the sky, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment responsible for air defense found that it had no place to use its skills, and the autumn in southeastern China was too humid, and the gun barrels were exposed to the outside, which greatly reduced the life of the weapons. So at night, the anti-aircraft guns were disassembled for maintenance and placed in special wooden boxes.

So far, this group of Japanese anti-aircraft artillery has only installed two machine guns.

If they had known that their anti-aircraft machine guns would have to fight against infantry, they could have fired six anti-aircraft machine guns at Gong Shaoxun and his men, and they would have been able to kill off the elite Chinese cavalry.

The Chinese cavalry didn't know that their opponents were actually panicking. The two machine guns that had just been installed seemed awesome, but in fact, the Type 96 machine gun only had 15 magazines. If a magazine was empty, they had to stop firing and reinstall the magazine. The firepower continuation was not as terrible as it had just been shown.

But the Japanese also didn't know that their opponents in front of them were also frightened by the tragic sacrifice scene and hesitated.

Although the distance was only 200 meters, these 200 meters were definitely the road to hell. If they continued to charge, I don't know how many cavalrymen would die on this road full of machine gun shells that would kill them if they were touched.

It's not that the cavalry can't die, but they shouldn't die in a near-suicidal charge, and now is far from the time for a suicidal charge.

Gong Shaoxun hesitated for the first time.

However, the time left for hesitation may only be a few seconds or even less. Because the Japanese machine guns may soon continue to fire.

It was too late to wait for the infantry's mortars and machine guns to come up. If they didn't speed up and rush over to completely crush the Japanese resistance and give the Japanese enough time to re-equip, the consequences might be more terrible than the death of the entire cavalry battalion.

"All troops, follow me, kill!" Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Gong Shaoxun pulled out a dagger and stabbed his beloved warhorse's buttocks without hesitation, roaring with his tongue hanging.

The warhorse that had just hesitated, raised its hooves in severe pain and galloped forward.

The terrible sound of the machine gun sounded again, but it no longer affected the warhorse and the person on it.

The brave cavalry major resolutely chose the latter in the choice between life and death.

"Kill!" The cavalrymen behind him followed one after another.

Some tried to crouch down on the horse's back, holding the knife horizontally, the knife light flashed in the cold wind, some bit the knife in their mouths, pulled out the carbine, and shot while galloping.

Lü Sanjiang almost rushed to the same position as his battalion commander.

He did not do any evasion. The strong cavalry squad leader's eyes were red, and the tears that had just flowed from the corners of his eyes were blown dry in the autumn wind.

Two cavalrymen in his squad were smashed by the terrible machine gun shells next to him. The splattered blood splashed on his face, and the warmth on his lips reminded him that it was the blood of his brothers.

At that moment, he remembered the veteran squad leader.

The veteran squad leader used his body to protect everyone, but he witnessed the death of his comrades again.

Just like that, they all died!

Then I won't live either!

Then I won't live!

Lü Sanjiang has gone crazy. The bay horse under him may also feel the owner's intentions. The muscles are angry and he uses all his strength to move forward.

Chinese cavalry, forward!

Towards death! go ahead!
