Zhang Lingyun had just led his troops to occupy the artillery position of the Japanese when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming from the darkness.
"Sir, the Japanese cavalry is coming!”
Zhang Lingyun frowned slightly and asked,"How many Japanese cavalrymen are there?”
" I don't know the exact number," the soldier who reported quickly replied." I estimate that there are at least 700 to 800 people."”
Shinohara Seiichiro's independent 15th Mixed Brigade had a 2nd Cavalry Regiment under its jurisdiction. However, this Cavalry Regiment was not full either. There were only about 700 to 800 cavalrymen.
Moreover, this cavalry regiment's camp was not set up together with their infantry camp. Instead, it was set up in the north, near a small river. At that time, it was also to get water for the warhorses.
Moreover, the cavalry regiment had basically been reduced to a second-line force. It was difficult for them to have any combat missions. They were mainly responsible for reconnaissance missions. This was also one of the reasons why their camp was set up in the periphery, because the frontline did not need them for the time being.
Who would have thought that this cavalry regiment would be able to escape this calamity and not be directly attacked by the Chinese army? With the other troops being defeated, this cavalry regiment was the most complete regiment in the entire 15th mixed regiment.
After the regiment commander, Lieutenant Honta Takeno, received the news, he did not retreat. Instead, he gathered his cavalry to support the main force of the exploration team.
This Takeo Honta was also from a noble family and was used to being arrogant and domineering. This old devil was arrogant and did not put the Chinese army in his eyes at all.
Therefore, when he learned that the main force of the exploration team had been defeated, he was secretly happy. He thought that his chance to make a name for himself had arrived. He thought that he could turn the tables with this cavalry unit in his hands.
Hence, this idiot led his cavalry and charged over, intending to defeat the attacking Chinese army in one fell swoop.
Zhang Lingyun raised his binoculars and observed for a while. He sneered and said,"I thought that the Japanese cavalrymen had already run away. I didn't expect them to dare to come back and die. In that case, they can't blame us.”
Zhang Lingyun's expression turned cold as he ordered loudly,""Attack immediately and kill these Japanese cavalrymen.”
"Yes, sir!"
A messenger at the side quickly responded and turned around to relay the order.
Following Zhang Lingyun's order, the tanks took the lead and rushed out, directly facing the Japanese cavalry.
Seven to eight hundred Ghost Cavalry soldiers attacked together, and their momentum was still very strong. The rumbling of their hooves was like muffled thunder in the distance, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Takeo Honta brandished his military saber and roared,""Warriors of the Empire, the opportunity to make a name for yourself has arrived. Charge! Kill these hateful enemies!"
"Kill!"
Under Hondo Munan's orders, the Japanese cavalry sped up and rushed over.
"Da da da!"
The sound of gunshots rang out as the tanks spewed out flames. The bullets rained down on the Japanese cavaliers, creating a bloody scene.
This time, Takeo Honta and the others were destined to hit an iron plate, and their heads would bleed.
Amidst the cries of men and the neighing of horses, the Japanese cavalrymen who were charging at the front were shot and fell to the ground, instantly dying.
The tanks and machine guns of the Chinese army proved to Takeo Honta that the cavalry was gradually declining and could no longer adapt to the needs of modern warfare. They could only play a role in certain environments and conditions.
And if he acted recklessly like Takeo Honta, he would be sending himself to his death.
In just a few minutes, more than half of Takeo Honta's cavalry regiment had been killed or injured. Out of the 700-strong cavalry, only 300 remained in the blink of an eye.
The concentrated firepower of the Chinese army had also completely awakened the old devil. The old devil quickly ordered loudly,"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The remaining Japanese cavalrymen immediately stopped charging and turned around to flee.
However, it was not easy for the charging warhorses to stop. There were still a portion of the Japanese cavalrymen who charged into the rain of bullets from the Chinese army, and even their horses were riddled with holes.
Zhang Lingyun shook his head slightly and said,""What a pity. There are so many warhorses. We can only eat meat now!"
However, in the end, Takeo Honta led the remaining cavalrymen and escaped.
"Stop chasing!" Zhang Lingyun quickly ordered. Naturally, someone would take care of them. The tanks and the other troops would chase after the retreating Japanese infantry with all their might and expand the results of the battle. They definitely could not let a single Japanese escape.”
"Yes, sir!" The messenger responded and turned around to relay the order.
Takeo Honta led his defeated subordinates and escaped for some distance. When he turned around and saw that the Chinese army was not chasing after them, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
However, when he saw that there were only 30 to 40 cavalrymen left, Takeo Honta wanted to cry.
At this moment, a cavalry unit suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the path of Takeo Honta and the others.
Tall and fat horses, shiny sabers, and energetic warriors all proved that this cavalry unit was an elite unit.
Sun Desheng raised his saber and shouted,""Cavalry Company! Attack!"
More than 100 cavalrymen, under the leadership of Sun Desheng, immediately galloped out and charged towards the Japanese.
Horses galloped, dust flew, and the momentum was like a rainbow, unstoppable.
