    With his order, three red flares were launched into the air at the same time.

    ¡°Swish, swish, swish!!¡±

    The sharp whistling sound of the flare reverberating in the valley was shattered by the whistling wind in the valley.

    As the signal flare rose into the air, the soldiers hidden in the tunnel immediately pointed their guns at the Japanese troops marching in the valley below.  The light and heavy machine guns and rifles began to roar at this moment.

    In the howling cold wind, the sound of these gunshots was as dense as the sound of tearing cloth strips, filling the valley.  Together with the howling wind, it tore apart the screams of the Japanese soldiers below.

    The Japanese troops below the valley fell in large numbers in the blink of an eye.  Some of them were injured and fell to the ground after being hit by bullets, while many others had subconscious reactions after hearing the gunshots.

    Sasaki, the brigade commander of the Japanese 30th Brigade, saw this scene and immediately pulled out the command sword from his waist and said loudly: "Immediately move closer to both sides of the valley. The main force continues to advance forward. Ishii Squadron and Shimoda Squadron respectively  Attack from both sides. The mountain artillery squadron looks for firing positions to suppress the enemy's firepower on the top of the slope."

    After receiving the order, the Japanese troops immediately began to take action.  Some of them continued to bend forward and charge towards the front of the valley.  The terrain here is very unfavorable for them to fight, so rushing out is the wisest choice.

    The two squadrons, without hesitation, formed a battle formation and began to attack both sides of the valley.

    At this time, the number of combatants in the Japanese 30th Brigade was about 5,000. Even if the four squadrons of the rear and vanguard were removed, they still had 4,000.

    This number was greater than the two regiments of the Second Brigade that ambushed them.  However, their terrain was unfavorable at this time, and Sasaki Toichi had no idea how many people were ambushing them on the slopes on both sides, so they could only lead his main force and rush forward with their heads down.

    As long as they pass through this valley and then move forward about one kilometer, they will be able to enter the defensive range of the Japanese division headquarters.

    At this time, the two squadrons of the Japanese army had already begun to charge towards the positions on both sides through the snow.  Of course, they were not trying to knock down the positions on both sides, but to attract firepower and cover the retreat of the main force.

    Seeing the main force of the Japanese army running towards the exit of the valley desperately, Ma Siyuan, who was commanding the battle, immediately said: "The cavalry regiment, the main force of the enemy, is charging towards the entrance of the valley. Stop them."

    When Zheng Fei, the commander of the cavalry regiment who was already ready to go, heard this order, he immediately turned his head and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, it's our turn to go on the field, charge!!"

    With his order, nearly two thousand cavalrymen from the cavalry regiment ambushing on both sides of the valley immediately transformed into two long dragons and attacked from both sides.

    The snow was very thick at this time, but taking advantage of the downhill terrain, the cavalry regiment was still attacking very quickly.

    The Japanese 30th Brigade, which was running towards the exit of the valley, suddenly heard a rumbling sound.  The sound was like thunder. When Sasaki heard the sound, his face suddenly became nervous.

    Because he had heard this sound before, when the cavalry regiment of their division was marching at high speed, it was such a terrifying sound.  It's just that in the mountains, there is not much room for cavalry to play.  Except, of course, for this terrain of the valley at this time.

    If those cavalrymen cut down diagonally from the hillsides on both sides, their formation could be completely separated very easily.  And at this time, they may not even have time to deploy heavy machine guns and other firepower to block the enemy cavalry.

    At this time, on the hillside on both sides not far away, two long black dragons were quickly attacking them under the moonlight.

    The iron hoofs of the war horses trampled on the snow, stirring up the white snowflakes like white waves.  The knights on horseback waved their sabers.

    The saber is extremely sharp, and the cold light and moonlight complement each other. On such a cold winter night, people can still feel a bit more biting than the cold wind.

    Seeing this scene, Sasaki immediately shouted loudly: "Shoot, move the troops closer to the center, don't let the enemy's cavalry cut off our formation."

    ¡°Bang bang bang!!!¡±

    The sound of 38-guns and light machine guns rang out at this time.  As for the heavy machine gun, it still needs to be stabilized at this time, and then the angle can be adjusted before it can shoot at the charging cavalry.

    It¡¯s just the speed at which those cavalry charge, butIt reached nearly 40 kilometers. At this time, due to the snow, although the speed was somewhat reduced, it could still reach about 35 kilometers.

    This speed does not sound fast. After all, cars of later generations can reach speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour with just one step of the accelerator.

    But if you compare it carefully, the fastest person in the world is Bolt. He runs 100 meters in only 9.58 seconds.  However, if calculated at such a speed, the distance that can be run in one hour is actually less than 40 kilometers, which means that the starting speed is only more than 30 kilometers per hour, not even as fast as the speed of a cavalry charge.

    The distance between the cavalry troops that emerged from the top of the slope and the Japanese troops that rushed down the valley was actually only about two hundred meters.  And such a distance, according to the speed of the cavalry charge, actually only takes about twenty seconds.  If it were faster, it might not even take twenty seconds.

    "In twenty seconds, the Japanese infantry may have just finished shooting the five rounds of bullets in the gun box, and they have not had time to reload the bullets.  The machine gunner had just finished shooting the twenty rounds of ammunition in the crooked handle and was about to reload the magazine again. The heavy machine gun had just begun to deploy, and the shooting angle might not have been adjusted yet.

    In the face of a high-speed charge, the infantry who lack the firepower of heavy machine guns can sometimes launch such a weak attack.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
