    At this time, the two Japanese squadrons had just rounded back to the side and rear of Liu Siyu and the others, but suddenly they heard the rumble of horse hooves from behind.

    At first they thought it was their own cavalry unit.

    But when the screams came from the front, some Japanese soldiers had their heads split open by the machetes of the cavalry.  Only then did the Japanese realize that these were enemy cavalry units.

    The Japanese captain, looking at the rushing enemies in front of him, the screams of the Japanese soldiers in the forest, and the neighing of the horses, felt as if he had fallen into the enemy's trap.

    It was dark at this time, and he had no idea how many enemy cavalry were in the woods.

    He couldn¡¯t even figure out the enemies rushing towards him.  But then, by the light of the flares, he saw a crowd of people in front of him. The number of enemies rushing up to fight them hand-to-hand would definitely not be less than theirs.

    "No, this is a trap by the enemy. Send a signal flare immediately to tell the soldiers to retreat."

    To be on the safe side, the Japanese captain had no choice but to retreat.

    At this time, in the woods, the cavalry troops charging everywhere were already fighting with the two squadrons of the Japanese army.

    Those Japanese soldiers in the forest were surrounded by swaying tree shadows and human figures.  All that could be heard was the rumble of hoofbeats and the neighing of war horses.

    Often without them paying attention, cavalry would rush over from behind them.  Then, before they even raised their guns to shoot, they saw the light of the sword flashing past their faces.

    ¡°Pfft!!¡±

    With a muffled sound, these Japanese soldiers fell down one by one.

    If infantry wants to deal with the swift cavalry, it needs a complete formation and sufficient machine gun firepower.

    Those powerful machine guns will be a nightmare for cavalry units as long as they can form a crossfire in the front.

    But these outflanking Japanese soldiers and machine gun teams were often beaten to pieces by the cavalry rushing over from all directions before they had time to deploy.

    They often have ammunition carriers unable to find the machine gunner, and the machine gunner may not even know where his machine gun has been thrown.

    So most of the Japanese soldiers fell into a group of three or five people.  They looked around vigilantly, and if they saw cavalry rushing towards them, they would shoot with their rifles.

    But now it¡¯s night again, and the dense woods block the moonlight above our heads.  This prevented them from even getting the only light.  Its field of view is simply incomparable to that of daylight.

    Throughout the chaotic battle in the forest, the cavalry had almost every advantage except for their numbers.

    The Japanese army¡¯s signal flares symbolizing their retreat were launched into the air.

    The Japanese soldiers who were resisting frontally saw the retreating signal flares, and their will to fight and resist seemed to be shattered.

    Seeing that the Japanese army's defense line was slightly loosened, Liu Siyu and his soldiers immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army with a more ferocious attitude.

    Those Japanese soldiers initially took turns covering the retreat.  However, because the attack led by Liu Siyu was too fierce, what was originally an orderly retreat turned into a rout.

    The Japanese soldiers outside the woods were okay. After all, they were still being chased by the infantry.  The Japanese troops in the forest were chased by cavalry.

    The sounds of fighting, gunshots and grenade explosions echoed across the vast wilderness.

    And similar battles are going on in other places in this area.

    The Japanese troops supporting Xinxiang were constantly blocked by company and platoon levels on the road.  These Japanese troops had no choice but to deal with them one by one.

    Although Liu Siyu's Ninth Regiment is not a main force, the soldiers under his command are still very tenacious in fighting.

    Some companies, with only more than a hundred people, dared to block a Japanese brigade.

    The soldiers of the cavalry regiment were also dispersed into company levels. Every one hundred cavalry formed a combat unit and ran across the wilderness.  Constantly harassing the flanks of Japanese combat troops.

    If they seize the opportunity, they will even choose to encircle and annihilate the Japanese infantry.

    The battle on Liu Siyu's side lasted for nearly an hour.  The Japanese army dropped more than two hundred corpses inside the woods, and more than a hundred corpses outside the woods.

    ¡°Coupled with the Japanese soldiers they had killed and wounded before, the little devils¡¯ brigade wasThe strength of the troops was reduced by nearly 40% in just one hour.

    Basically, this Japanese brigade has lost the ability to continue fighting and must return to the rear for reorganization.

    "Brothers of the Cavalry Regiment, thank you."

    Liu Siyu, whose face was covered with blood, saluted the cavalrymen who were sitting upright on their horses.

    "You're welcome, we have to support other troops, so take care of yourself."

    The cavalry commander on the horse didn't say anything more, so he led his cavalry and continued to run in the direction of the loud gunfire.

    At this time, his guard ran over and shouted to Liu Siyu: "Regiment leader, the brothers from the seventh company just said on the intercom that they were surrounded by the Japanese army and fought to the death. Now they are almost completely wiped out."

    Hearing this, Liu Siyu frowned, then wiped the blood on his face with a sneer and said: "Tell the brothers to gather immediately to reinforce the Seventh Company."

    After saying that, he led his soldiers and ran towards the seventh company.

    In fact, at this moment, it is not just the Seventh Company that is fighting hard with the Japanese army.

    Because after all, their ninth regiment and cavalry regiment combined totaled more than 4,000 people.  Even including the nearby guerrillas, there were only five thousand people.

    But the Japanese army had a reorganized brigade with more than 7,000 people.  Together with other attached troops, the actual number of Japanese troops able to participate in the battle has exceeded 8,000.

    This force is almost twice theirs. Even if Liu Siyu and the others have the advantage of fighting at night, facing twice the number of Japanese troops, they will inevitably fall into a hard fight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
