At the same time, Chen Weidong was organizing troops to cover the evacuation of the people in the small temple fifteen miles away. The sporadic gunshots not far away caught his attention.
Suddenly, Lin Xiong rode his horse and shouted,""Battalion Commander, it's bad. Our independent regiment's cavalry company has been surrounded by a regiment of Japanese cavalrymen.”
"What?"
Chen Weidong's heart thumped. The tragic ending of Sun Desheng and the cavalry company was a pain that he could never erase when he saw the sword. He was also deeply moved by the spirit of the cavalry company. The spirit of fighting with the opponent to the end even though they knew that they would die was exactly what soldiers of my generation should learn and possess.
But today, he would never allow the tragic end of the cavalry company to repeat itself before his eyes!
Chen Weidong shouted," Deputy Battalion Commander Liao, gather all the light and heavy machine guns in the battalion and set up a machine gun position at the mountain pass. Later, I will lure the Japanese cavalry over and use the machine guns to attack them."”
"Lin Xiong, order the special forces members to gather immediately and follow me to coordinate the cavalry company's retreat!”
"Yes, sir!"
Liao Wenhua and Lin Xiong received the order and left.
In less than a minute, Chen Weidong and the special forces members rode 20 warhorses and rushed to the two sides on the plain one kilometer away at the fastest speed.
Liao Wenhua did not stay idle either. He immediately arranged the 12 Maxim heavy machine guns and 20 light machine guns in the camp, forming a high and low machine gun position at the pass of the 15-mile temple.
The widest part of this mountain pass was only about ten meters wide, and the narrower part was only four to five meters wide. It was an easy place to defend and difficult to attack. Light and heavy machine guns were placed on the ground and above the mountain pass, which was the most suitable for ambushing a large number of Japanese cavalrymen.
Speaking of which, Sun Desheng and the cavalrymen were still alive. They met Chen Weidong's guard battalion at this place.
If they were in an open field, Chen Weidong would not dare to risk the lives of his guards to stop the Japanese cavalry.
After all, once the thousand cavalrymen charged at full speed, the infantrymen would not be able to stop them. The only thing that awaited the infantrymen was the fate of being slaughtered.
But today, coincidentally, Chen Weidong's guard battalion did not split up to break out of the encirclement. All the light and heavy machine guns were concentrated in their hands, and they had the geographical advantage of the fifteen miles of Xiaomiao Pass. This gave him the confidence and courage to go head-on with the Japanese cavalry.
On the other side, Daisuke Kurojima of the Japanese Cavalry saw Sun Desheng leading the cavalry to attack. He also pulled out his commanding sword and shouted at the troops,""Kill, kill, kill!"
Behind him, more than 1,500 Japanese cavalrymen raised their sabers and beat the stomachs of their horses with their feet as they charged at the cavalrymen.
"Kill!"
Sun Desheng led the cavalry to charge into the Japanese cavalry that was several times larger than him. The moment the two sides met, the sound of thousands of troops whistling and metal colliding sounded at the same time.
Sun Desheng brandished his saber and collided head-on with a soldier. With the help of the speed of the warhorse, Sun Desheng gritted his teeth and his eyes were cold.
Just as the blade was about to fall, Sun Desheng suddenly turned his body to the side. Then, he shook his wrist slightly, and the saber tilted from bottom to top towards the soldier.
Ah!
Pa!
Screams of horror and the sound of a blade hitting a body rang out one after another. Then, a red light carried a head and flew into the air. The dismembered ghost still maintained the action of pulling the reins with one hand and continued to be carried forward by the warhorse. Blood sprayed all over the ground. It was not until the inertia passed that he fell off the saddle and was trampled by the warhorse behind him.
The rest of the cavalry also brandished their sabers and used the charging speed of their warhorses to slash at the oncoming Japanese cavalrymen. They didn't care if they hit their targets or not. They slashed their sabers and didn't look back.
After the first round of assault, both sides suffered casualties.
When Sun Desheng's cavalry company rushed to the place where the Ghost Cavalry Regiment was, there were less than 20 brothers left by his side. Each of them was more or less injured, and the blood had dyed their clothes dark red.
No one was afraid, and no one retreated. Every soldier of the Independent Regiment's cavalry company silently turned their horses around and raised their sabers again, facing the Japanese cavalrymen on the opposite side.
Sun Desheng continued to roar in a hoarse voice,"" Cavalry Company, attack!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers once again rode their horses and charged towards the Japanese cavalry formation.
Opposite them, the Japanese cavalry also roared,"Board, kill, kill, kill!"
The high-speed charge of thousands of warhorses kicked up a cloud of dust on the yellow soil. Accompanied by the shouts of the warriors and the neighs of the warhorses, even the air was filled with a hint of killing intent.
The distance between the cavalrymen of both sides rapidly shortened. In the blink of an eye, the distance between two to three hundred meters became two to three feet, then two to three feet, and finally intertwined.
Sun Desheng used the back of his blade to knock away the blade that was coming from the left side, avoiding the fatal blow of the Japanese cavalryman. He then leaned back and swung his arm back, cutting open the stomach of a Japanese cavalryman. He slashed from his abdomen to his forehead, and he fell off his horse.
Almost at the same time, a Japanese cavalryman's saber brushed past the tip of his nose. The cold air made his eyebrows stand up one by one. He turned around and slashed down, cutting open the skin of the Japanese cavalryman who ambushed him.
The cavalrymen who followed closely behind him fell one after another. At the last moment of their lives, they used their sabers to perish together with the Japanese cavalrymen.
After this round of charge, when Sun Desheng led the cavalry to the position where they were standing, there were only five cavalry soldiers left beside him.
Sun Desheng's weathered face revealed an unwilling expression. He turned his head and glanced at the faces of each of his brothers. He gave a desperate and unyielding roar,"" Cavalry Company, attack!"
Dada, dada, dada!
At this moment, the sound of an automatic rifle was heard.
Chen Weidong led the 18 riders from Northwest Shanxi to the back of the Japanese cavalry regiment. The special forces kept pulling the trigger and shot the Japanese cavalry on their horses.
Chen Weidong was not willing to talk about the honor and rules of the cavalry with these heartless bastards. His goal was clear: to kill all these Japanese and save his brothers in the cavalry company!
"The battalion commander of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, Chen Weidong, is here.”
"Company Commander Sun, take the brothers of the cavalry company and charge again. Break out of the encirclement at the small temple pass fifteen miles away.”
Sun Desheng looked up at the sky and roared. The heavens didn't want to destroy our cavalry company!
Then, he roared,"Cavalry Company, attack!"!!”
