In fact, even without Fujita's notice, Senior Captain Miyano had already led the cavalry squadron into action.
In the battle plan that the Miyano Cavalry had discussed, after the chariot squadron led the infantry squadron to occupy the 8th Route Army's position, they would be responsible for chasing after the fleeing 8th Route Army. Therefore, when the chariot squadron slowly attacked the Eighth Route Army, Senior Captain Miyano had already led his cavalry squadron from the east side of Nanzhuang to surround the rear.
As a result, just as he moved, he received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn from their position and retreated to Liang Village in the south.
To Miyano, this was simply a merit that fell from the sky.
One had to know that the terrain in this area was flat, extremely suitable for cavalry to gallop freely. In Miyano's opinion, even if the 8th Route Army had ten times their strength, they would still be meat on a felt board for his cavalry squadron to slaughter if they were to charge at the defeated 8th Route Army on flat ground.
Therefore, the confident Miyano did not inform the chariot squadron and infantry squadron that were attacking the 8th Route Army's position. Instead, he led the cavalry and quietly pulled the distance between them and the 8th Route Army. He waited for the 8th Route Army to get tired of running, then he would give this defeated 8th Route Army a head-on blow and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Using a cavalry squadron to annihilate a regiment and a battalion of the Eighth Route Army (772 regiment and a new regiment and a battalion), Miyano's idea was extremely arrogant. One had to know that a Japanese cavalry squadron only had 144 people and 134 horses. It was simply wishful thinking to want to annihilate more than 1500 people of the Eighth Route Army with more than 130 cavalry.
At the very least, Ding Wei and Cheng Kang, who led the troops to retreat, couldn't understand Miyano's mind. What was going on in his head?
"Old Cheng, what do you think these 100 Japanese cavalrymen are doing?”
“... I'm not sure."
Cheng Kang looked in the direction of the camp. There were still gunshots coming from there. The Japanese's tanks and infantry should still be attacking the camp. However, the Japanese cavalrymen were sneakily following him, which confused Cheng Kang.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't the Japanese cavalry rush out to stall us so that the Japanese chariots and infantry can catch up?
Why are they following us like thieves? A hundred cavalrymen, did they think we wouldn't notice them?”
“... I don't know."
Ding Wei and Cheng Kang were deeply confused by Miyano's underhanded actions.
However, they quickly threw the doubts in their hearts to the back of their minds.
"Who cares? It's better if he doesn't rush up and tangle with us. As long as we retreat into Liangjiagou, if the Japanese dare to follow us into the valley, our cavalry and Mr. Bai Xian's Second Battalion will dare to teach the Japanese a lesson!”
"Yes, Old Ding, I'll bring some people to support the two squads at the camp. They were all veterans, and they couldn't let the Japanese cavalrymen eat them up.”
"Hurry up and go. By the way, I'll leave you more machine guns so that these Japanese cavalrymen won't find trouble with you. In addition, since the Japanese's tanks and cavalry have been attracted to us, and the defenders of Zhanglan Town and Pingyao have also been pinned down by us, Old Li's side can also take action.”
"Yes, I am. Inform Li Datou to finish the battle quickly. Then, we'll meet up at Mount Tai!”
"I understand. Old Cheng, you must take care of yourself. Don't be entangled by the Japanese!”
After saying that, Ding Wei led his troops to speed up. At the same time, he asked the communicator to inform Li Yunlong to take action immediately. Meanwhile, Cheng Kang led a battalion of soldiers to slow down, ready to receive the two squads of soldiers who had stayed behind to set up a diversion formation. The two squads were seasoned soldiers that he and Ding Wei had carefully selected. Cheng Kang couldn't bear to sacrifice these twenty or so seasoned soldiers.
……
Jiexiu, outside the Japanese prisoner of war camp.
Li Yunlong, who had already led his troops to sneak into the prisoner of war camp, finally received the good news from Ding Wei and Cheng Kang.
"Motherf * cker, I finally got the chance I've been waiting for!”
Li Yunlong gritted his teeth when he saw Ding Wei's telegram. God knew how long he had endured and how much pressure he had to bear in order to seize this perfect opportunity. Now, it was time for a big fight.
"Kong Jie, is the assault team ready?!”
Don't worry!"
Holding a 56-gun in his hand, Kong Jie stared at the Japanese prisoner of war camp in the distance.
The recent encounter with the Yamamoto Secret Service Team had given his independent regiment the nickname of 'Noodle Growth'. This humiliation had made Kong Jie think of committing suicide many times to apologize. Now, the opportunity to wash away his humiliation was right in front of him. Even if he had to block the bullet hole now, he would not frown!
"Old Li, don't shoot me if you can't take down the prisoner of war camp. Save your bullets. I, Kong Jie, can't guarantee anything else, but none of the close to a hundred people in the assault team will leave the battle alive!”
"Good job, these words sound uplifting!”
Li Yun Long also knew that Kong Jie was going crazy from holding it in for the past few days, but he still couldn't help but remind him,"
"When the battle begins, I will provide you with firepower support with mortars and grenade launchers. Your assault team, remember to concentrate your firepower with the M1938A and use the fastest speed to break into the Japanese's prisoner of war camp! Remember, the New Regiment One and the 772nd Regiment are risking their lives to buy us some time. Every second faster, we might lose one less warrior!”
"I know!"
Li Yunlong turned to Zhang Dabiao and said,"
"When the mortar sounds, everyone in the regiment will attach their bayonet and attack the Japanese prisoner of war camp. Those without a bayonet, even if they had to pick up a carrying pole, they would still have to use it! Tell the artillery not to f * cking conserve their shells, and don't care if they accidentally hurt the captives in the prisoner of war camp. Shoot the shells out as quickly as possible, understand?!”
"Yes, Guild Leader!"
Hearing Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao nodded his head vigorously and turned around to convey Li Yunlong's order.
When the 800-odd members of the Independent Regiment entered the predetermined attack position, they saw Li Yunlong holding a signal gun and was about to fire the order to attack. Suddenly, he saw a commotion in the distant prison camp, and there were gunshots coming one after another. The soldiers in front even vaguely heard the sound of fighting.
This stunned the entire independent regiment.
Hu Zi, who was beside Li Yun Long, opened his mouth and said worriedly,"
"Did the Japanese find us?"
"It seems... No! The Japanese outside are entering the prison camp!”
This was a heaven-sent opportunity!
Although Li Yun Long didn't know the idiom " a godsend opportunity ", it didn't stop him from being ecstatic. He made a prompt decision and fired a signal flare at the sky.
The next second, the two mortars equipped for the Independent Regiment opened fire at the Japanese prisoner of war camp. Before a team of soldiers who were guarding the entrance of the camp could react, more than half of them were killed or injured by the mortar shells.
At the same time, the grenade throwers that had snuck into the camp also used their grenade launchers to bombard the watchtowers around the camp. The searchlights that were moving back and forth were almost instantly destroyed by the grenade launchers.
Seeing this, Kong Jie stood up with his five or six guns and shouted at the commando,"
"Comrades, it's time to wash away the humiliation of the Noodle Ball! Assault team, charge!"
"Kill!!!" n
Nearly 100 commandos on the ground responded. Each of them carried a 56-caliber, M1938A submachine gun, and a light machine gun. They launched a tidal attack on the Japanese prisoner of war camp.
Zhang Dabiao, who was following closely behind the assault team, raised a large knife and pointed it at the prisoner of war camp.
"Comrades, kill the Japanese! Follow me!"
" Kill the Japanese!!!" n
Under the leadership of Zhang Dabiao, the three reinforced companies of the Independent Regiment also got up from the ground, picked up their rifles with bayonet, and rushed toward the prisoner of war camp.
P.S. The comment in the comment section said that the Japanese army used methorphan (see picture) as a stimulant during World War II. During the Pacific War, the Japanese soldiers were given methorphan. Before a battle, they would knock one down and then become fearless, even desperately ramming into the heavy machine guns of the US army. The famous Kamikaze Special Attack. In fact, many Kamikaze Special Attack pilots had taken drugs to fly their planes into the sky and then crash into American warships.
Of course, in the battlefield of China, the Japanese army did not seem to use this much. Because before the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army still had many veterans of the permanent division. The training and brainwashing of the recruits were also in place. In fact, there was no need for this. After all, almost all the Japanese soldiers in the middle and early stages of the war were sharpshooters. They could hit the grenade launchers as if they had the ability to lock on to the target. They were not trash like those in the later stages of the Pacific War who could not even hit the grenade launchers and could not hit the guns. They did not need those drugs that stimulated the nerve center and made people excited.
