The next afternoon, the two cavalry battalions of the Japanese were transferred away. What were they waiting for? The two cavalry battalions and the remaining snipers all attacked. They would fight first, come back for dinner, and continue fighting at night.
The Japanese had two cavalry squadrons left, so they had to fight with the other side. Both sides fought around the battlefield. The two cavalry battalions and snipers took advantage of the fact that the Japanese had fewer soldiers. After fighting for more than four hours, they ate up one squadron and one team. They also suffered more than 300 casualties. Fortunately, they won. The injured cavalry could be brought back, but the Japanese could not take the injured soldiers away. There were only two teams left.
Cavalry was very difficult to train. The two regiments were at a disadvantage because of this. Fortunately, there were more people than people, so they barely tied. It was already good enough that the sniper could ride a horse. He could not be messed with.
War was cruel. Fortunately, the Japanese only had two teams left. They could continue fighting after dinner and rest.
Not to mention the night of harassment, the Japanese were annoyed. The two squads of Japanese cavalrymen did not dare to go out. They could not see the road clearly when they rode out at night. If you really went out, the snipers would be waiting for you. Even if it was dark, could you hide the sound of your horse and the shadow of your people?
The cavalry would only ambush when the enemy was unprepared. The enemy's Sniper Warriors were attacking, and there were 2 cavalry battalions protecting them.
On the third day, when the Japanese counted, there was only one small team left. The soldiers were not in high spirits and naturally wanted to rest.
Now it was the turn of the new regiment and the new regiment. What was there to defend? There was only one regiment left on the other side. The new regiment and the new regiment faced the Japanese regiment from the south and north. They were the first to fire. You don't want the Japanese to retreat, right? There were two cavalry battalions watching.
Fine, let another cavalry unit come back. As for now, let's just defend for now. If we really want to fight to the death, no one is afraid of anyone.
The two regiments of the 8th Route Army were naturally unwilling to fight the Japanese head-on. If they fought head-on, the casualties would be too ugly. At least they estimated that they had killed another squadron of the Japanese and nearly a large group of cavalry. The results of the battle in two days were still acceptable.
When the Japanese cavalrymen are about to arrive, send 2 cavalrymen battalions to go up. Yes, send the engineer battalion to bury the mines first. Blow up as many as possible.
As for ambushing, don't even think about it. Those were warhorses. This was a plain, and there was no time to dig a hole. They also had to accurately predict the direction of the other side's advance. It would be a miracle if the engineer battalion could bury mines on a few bridges and blow up a few of them. The Japanese cavalrymen could just circle around and pass by. It was impossible to waste bombs.
Putting aside the charge of the cavalry, there would definitely be heavy casualties. It was unknown how many survived. Ordinary soldiers would not be able to support them in time. How many could the artillery fight against the Japanese? Don't ignore the binoculars of the Japanese cavalry. Even if they blew up a few of the Japanese and ran away, how could the artillery be faster than the cavalry?
Moreover, they had to use cavalrymen to fight cavalrymen. This was called duizi. If the other troops could not catch up, who would be responsible for the losses if the other cavalrymen took advantage of the new 1st and 2nd regiments attacking the 388th regiment to sneak attack the two transport teams or attack the base?
The 2 cavalry battalions originally had over 1000 people and 300 casualties. Now that they were facing the main cavalry unit, they had to go all out.
It was just that the Japanese had run a few kilometers and were a little tired. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.
After the battle, the two cavalry battalions were left with more than 200 people, all of whom were injured. The Japanese were not much better either, with only 300 people left. Both sides were unable to fight anymore, so they gathered their wounded soldiers and retreated. They really did not have the strength to deal with their comrades 'corpses.
The two regiments and the Japanese regiment started firing at each other. The minesweeper and gunfire were locked in an intense battle. This was not good for the Japanese regiment because their retreat route had been cut off. Now, the new regiment had more people. If they surrounded you during the day and attacked you at night, the Japanese would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, the Japanese immediately ordered the bomber to provide support.
In the afternoon, the bomber planes arrived. The new 1st and 2nd regiments could only retreat to prevent another round of air strikes. There was nowhere to hide on the plains. If they did not retreat now, they would suffer heavy casualties. The 8 Barrett snipers did not manage to shoot down the bomber planes. They were too high up.
The bomber did not need to lower its altitude at all. It just needed to drop the bombs at the circle of people. It was guaranteed that 5 out of 10 bombs would be fired.
Of course, they would find trouble with the Japanese at night and see who could outlast them. The Japanese were also afraid of being attacked at night, so they repaired their fortifications, hoping that no one would die. On the other hand, they continued to ask the commander of the 98th Brigade for help. The commander of the 98th Brigade braced himself and sent two battalions from 387 to support them, leaving only one battalion here.
The battlefield on the northern front had fallen into chaos. The cavalry battalion could not be relied on for the time being. It would not be easy to surround the devils during the day. At night, there was still a cavalry squadron on the opposite side. It was another rotation. However, with more than 400 snipers against 300 cavalry squadrons, the snipers would definitely win during the day. It was hard to say at night. This time, the snipers had no one to protect them. They could only rely on themselves. They either had fast marksmanship or could only wait for death. At night, they did not need accurate marksmanship. They just needed to kill the warhorses.
As long as the 400 snipers replaced the 300 cavalry squadron, victory would be theirs. The remaining 2 regiments would face off against the opposing 1 regiment and 2 battalions.
The battle in the middle wasn't over yet. When the two Japanese cavalrymen came to support them, the cavalry battalion and snipers of the Independent Regiment all retreated after receiving the news. The Japanese couldn't chase after them, and the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment temporarily withdrew their defense against the two cavalrymen.
The commander of the 389th Japanese regiment naturally could not do so. He immediately called for the cannon, and the Japanese squadron followed closely behind to attack. The first wave did not achieve any results, and the commander of the Japanese regiment wanted to come for a second wave, but he was persuaded by the chief of staff.
Then, he ordered the two squads of the Japanese cavalrymen to attack. The two squads were not his subordinates. Moreover, they did not achieve much in the northern battle. They even lost a cavalry squadron. Naturally, they did not attack.
Could the 389 regiment commander accept this? They definitely couldn't do it, so they reported it to the commander of the 98th regiment. The commander of the 98th regiment was also in a difficult position. This cavalry regiment was here to provide support, so he couldn't let them risk their lives. Moreover, they had already lost a squadron. Now that the latest news was that a cavalry regiment in the north was gone, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
Right now, the cavalry unit had not been requested by the 388 regiment commander for reinforcements. That was the afternoon of the third day, and it was still the afternoon of the second day.
The two cavalrymen were like a force to be reckoned with. Wherever they stood, the Independent Regiment did not make any movements.
In the afternoon, both sides had a temporary truce and were prepared to fight back at night. This time, it was the Independent Regiment's turn to defend while the Japanese attacked. (The northern front is attacked by 2 regiments, and the Japanese are defending.)
It was good to have cavalrymen. They were flexible and both sides were wary of them. Moreover, the foundation was Mount Duodoyi. For example, if an independent regiment had one cavalry battalion against two cavalry battalions, the independent regiment would not dare to take the initiative to attack.
The independent regiment was still at a disadvantage after Duizi, so they decided not to play Duizi first. I still had the sniper battalion. I could use the sniper battalion to attack the enemy cavalry. As long as they managed to ambush us, they would retreat immediately. This was only natural. Fortunately, Brigadier Li did not do so.
At night, the Japanese cavalrymen could take a detour. Not to mention the casualties, the two battalions were divided into two directions to attack in a roundabout way. The independent regiment's cavalry battalion could defend one direction, Wang Yuanliang's sniper battalion could defend the other direction, and the Japanese team in the middle was prepared to attack with poison gas bombs.
He could post updates, give some hints, fresh flowers, monthly votes, and reviews to seek positive feedback.
