"Hyah hyah hyah…"
"Knock, knock, knock…"
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer.
"Hurry up, this section of the road is relatively flat.”Cang Jing raised his saber and shouted loudly.
"Second Company Commander, tell the brothers to be prepared. We will shoot when the Japanese's hooves are trapped.”The first battalion commander ordered the second company commander beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
The second company commander immediately turned around and gave orders to the people hiding behind the trees or by the rocks.
The speed of the cavalry was indeed fast, and their momentum was terrifying. The sound caused by five to six hundred horses galloping at the same time was definitely comparable to thunder.
Under Cang Jing Shi's urging, in less than three minutes, the Japanese cavalrymen had already arrived in front of the hoof pit formation that the 1st Battalion had dug in advance.
These devils didn't expect that someone would set up a trap here. They didn't know that the Grim Reaper was already waving at them. All of them were still urging their warhorses to gallop.
"Gacha…sob…sob…ah…"
"Gacha…sob…sob…ah…"
Amidst the sudden neigh, the Japanese cavalrymen at the front were thrown far away due to the broken legs of their horses. The people behind them did not have time to react. In fact, even if they reacted in time, they would not be able to immediately stop the galloping horses.
In an instant, the 600-strong cavalry was thrown into chaos.
As expected of the captain of the cavalry unit, Cang Jing Min managed to stop his horse after taking down one of his men.
"What happened?"
At this moment, Cang Jing Shi didn't think that there was a hoof pit. He only thought that someone had made a mistake.
"Da da da…"
"Bang bang bang…"
It was not his soldiers who answered him, but the sounds of gunshots coming from the woods nearby.
"Baka, there's an ambush. Quickly, quickly dismount and stop the counterattack!”
When Kurai Minoru heard the gunshot, he calmed down. He knew very well that in such a dense forest, there were not only trees and bushes, but also a hillside. Warhorses could not walk in it at all, and people riding on horses would instead become targets for others.
"Brothers, fight, fight fiercely for this daddy! Grenade!”A battalion commander roared.
"Da da da…"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions and the hissing of light and heavy machine guns resounded throughout the ancient forest.
The reason why Kong Jie chose to fight in this forest was because this area was suitable for the cavalry to run quickly, and it was easier for the Japanese cavalry to fall into their trap. The second reason was that the forest was dense, and the Japanese cavalry could not ride their horses and charge, so the cavalry would lose their original power.
As everyone knew, the nature of cavalry was due to their speed and mobility. On the plains, cavalry could completely rely on their speed to make infantry helpless against them. It was not an exaggeration to say that on the plains, it was not difficult for a hundred cavalry to deal with a thousand infantry.
However, it was different now. Without the support of their warhorses, the cavalrymen were like tigers without teeth. The cavalrymen mainly trained their swordsmanship. Although they also carried riding rifles, the guns were only used to distract the enemy when they chased or blocked the enemy from a long distance.
The reason was very simple. On a galloping warhorse, no one could aim and shoot as if they were standing still. Because the horse was running, it was impossible to aim accurately. Even a powerful sniper could not hit the target 100% on a horse.
Therefore, in general, cavalry only paid attention to sabersmanship and not marksmanship. Moreover, Japanese cavalry were rarely equipped with cannons, not even grenade launchers.
As a result, the Cang Jing Battalion did not have a grenade launcher. Furthermore, because this was an emergency reinforcement, Cang Jing Shi did not take the Tubo Army seriously in order to increase his speed. He even asked his subordinates to leave the grenades behind. The only heavy firepower of the entire brigade was the six-armed light machine gun.
The 1st Battalion of the New Regiment was Zhang Dabiao's former unit. Zhang Dabiao was deeply poisoned by Li Yunlong and only knew how to snatch weapons and equipment without restraint. As a result, the 1st Battalion was the wealthiest battalion in the New Regiment.
It was even richer than the current 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment. There were 12 units of Type 92, more than 20 units of Bophead, more than 10 grenade launchers, and more than 1,200 people.
This was a completely lopsided battle, but Cang Jing was like almost all the arrogant Japanese officers. He refused to admit defeat, and he was even more unwilling to admit defeat in front of Tubo Ba, whom they looked down on.
"All of you, charge into the forest and kill these damn Tubas! Kill a chicken!"
Raising the saber in his hand, Cang Jing Shi shouted at the remaining few hundred Japanese soldiers.
"Kill a chicken!"
"The Emperor's Carriage!"
"Great Japan Empire!"
A group of Japanese who had been brainwashed by Bushido shouted slogans and rushed into the forest crazily.
However, the Japanese had forgotten that they were charging in person and not riding a horse. Their speed was not enough to avoid the bullets.
When the battalion commander saw the suicidal charge of these Japanese soldiers, he sneered. He licked his dry lips and a bloodthirsty light appeared in his eyes.
"Fire, all the machine guns fire! Beat up these Japanese with all your might!”
Following the command of a battalion commander, the hidden firing points all opened fire at this moment. Twelve heavy machine guns and more than twenty crooked guns were like the scythes of the Grim Reaper that were harvesting lives. Rows of bullet screens burst out.
Although they were covered by trees, these Japanese were all cavalrymen. They had never been trained in mountain warfare before. Their belief was to charge forward bravely. However, this meaningless charge could only make them fall in rows.
" Baka, no, don't rush anymore. Come back, come back quickly…"
Seeing his warriors fall one by one under the muzzle of the gun, Kurai Shinkou couldn't even cry anymore. He finally understood how stupid his order to charge was, but it was too late to say anything now.
Bang! A sudden gunshot rang out, and a bullet with great kinetic energy ended Cang Jing's shout. A bloody hole was shot through his head.
