    But right in front of him, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell one after another under the fierce firepower of the Eighth Route Army.

    The joint bombardment by the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army just now caused them to suffer huge casualties.

    And such casualties made their defense line very weak at this time.

    Mingzhe Siye also saw the crisis situation at this time, but he had no choice.

    It was impossible for Daliang Zhe to support him. It could be judged from the sound of artillery coming from the distance. At this time, Daliang Zhe was also suffering from the joint attack of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army.

    It is very possible that the reason why Daliang Zhe did not reply to his message now is that the Eighth Route Army attack they encountered was more fierce.

    There is nothing wrong with his idea, because Mingzhe Siye only faced an Eighth Route Army force of more than 30,000 people.

    But Daliangzhe, he and his troops were facing an Eighth Route Army offensive force of about 60,000 people.

    Therefore, he did not reply to Mingzhe Siye's thoughts. He even wanted to ask Mingzhe Siye to break out of the encirclement quickly and provide them with some support.

    These two brothers in distress, at this time, both unanimously placed their only hope on Sakon Shiya.

    To be precise, they were two elite Japanese brigades under Sakon Shiya and a heavy artillery regiment.

    This kind of troop configuration can provide them with very good fire cover and can also provide them with additional strength.

    This is what the two of them lack most at the moment.

    But, how long can they hold on?

    Daliang Zhe is fortunate. They have a very strong defensive position. When facing enemy attacks, they can also rely on various machine gun bunkers and barbed wire to resist the enemy.

    But Mingzhe Siye was not so lucky. The area he was in was flat and almost undefendable. They could only avoid the fierce artillery fire and bombings of the Fourth Army and the ferocious Eighth Route Army in the trenches they dug.  Incomparable ground attack.

    "Report, the enemy has broken through our first line of defense!!! Our third regiment has been completely wiped out."

    Suddenly, Mingzhe Siye¡¯s staff officer ran over and reported to him.

    Hearing these words, Mingzhe Siye was stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the third regiment.

    That was the most elite of all their reinforcements this time.

    However, such an elite force has now been destroyed.

    Mingzhe Siye knew what this meant. To a certain extent, the destruction of the Third Regiment also represented their destruction.

    "Do we still have mobile forces?"

    Mingzhe Siye asked at this time.

    His staff officer shook his head and said: "Nono more. At this time, more than half of our troops have been killed or injured.

    It is already very difficult for them to just hold on to their own defense line, and it is even more impossible to mobilize troops to fill the loopholes for other troops.  "

    The words of the Japanese staff officer were, to a certain extent, a death sentence for Mingzhe Siye and his troops.

    They are now under attack from enemies on all sides, and no problem can arise on any of their lines of defense.

    As long as the defense line in one direction is breached by the enemy, their resistance will lose all meaning, and the enemy's troops will only pour in from the gap.

    The influx of enemies is like a raging flood, and they will all drown here in a short time.

    "Report, Chief of Staff Shiya Sakon sent a telegram. He told us that a cavalry unit is moving in our direction and hopes that we must persist.

    They will launch a charge behind the enemy to create a gap for us.  "

    At this time, the Japanese soldier responsible for maintaining communication with Sakonshiya said loudly.

    The Japanese cavalry troops were rapidly approaching in their direction.

    This is a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army. Not long after they set off, they received an order from Sakon Shiya, telling them to move forward at full speed and try to reach the area where Mingzhe Siye and the others were besieged within three hours.

    The current Japanese troops have suffered a huge number of casualties, and they cannot tear a gap in any of the Eighth Route Army's defense lines.

    But their cavalry units are different. If the enemy's troops do not discover their cavalry units, then with the powerful impact of their horses, this cavalry unit may really tear out a gap in the enemy's rear defense line.?.

    "Okay, tell them that our troops will move to the rear immediately and hope they arrive as soon as possible!!!"

    Mingzhe Siye felt that he had grasped the last straw.

    But, can this straw really save him from the raging flood at this time?

    Or, this straw will be submerged by the flood, and like the dead Japanese soldiers, they will forever become homeless ghosts on this land.

    Mingzhe Siye can no longer think any more, now he must grab this life-saving straw.

    This is what he must do as a commander, and it is also what he does out of his instinct to survive.

    The Japanese troops once again shrank their defense lines at this time. Many Japanese troops that were still blocking the Eighth Route Army's charge also stayed with a small number of troops to block the attack.

    As for the main force, they moved closer to the area where Mingzhe Siye was, planning to break out with him.

    At this time, nearly a thousand cavalrymen of the Japanese army were rushing along the direction of the highway, through the battlefield full of corpses, towards the rear position of the Eighth Route Army.

    This Japanese cavalry team was discovered by the Eighth Route Army¡¯s forward reconnaissance post when it was still thirty kilometers away from the Eighth Route Army.

    Li Tian didn¡¯t think that this Japanese army could make a big splash at this time.

    But in order to ensure that their operations were foolproof, he still sent an additional machine gun company to the rear.

    This machine gun company is equipped with seven heavy machine guns and twelve light machine guns.

    After arriving at the rear defense line, their guns were not directed at the troops in the rear who were thinking about the night.

    Rather, it¡¯s heading towards Jinzhou City.

    According to the intelligence they received, an enemy cavalry unit will arrive here soon.

    Originally, this group of cavalry planned to harass the troops blocked by the Eighth Route Army on the outside after arriving here, thereby reducing the pressure on Mingzhe Siye's troops.

    But after Sakonshi also received a distress call from Mingzhe Siye and the number of their casualties, he knew that if this was the case, it would be impossible for their cavalry to save the besieged Mingzhe Siye and the others.

    Only by using the impact of the cavalry to launch a ferocious attack on the enemy from the enemy's rear when the enemy is unprepared.

    Only then can it be possible to tear a hole in the enemy's rear line of defense.

    When Li Tian saw the Japanese army beginning to move closer to their rear, he knew that the little Japanese cavalry troops were coming.

    He immediately issued an order: "Tell the machine gun companies in the rear that they don't need to be stingy with bullets. As long as the little devil's cavalry shows up on the opposite side, they will shoot immediately and kill them all without leaving a trace."

    Damn you, you still think you can bully us like before?  "

    Li Tian still remembers very clearly that when they were fighting the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi, they could not form a dense firepower network because they did not have many heavy machine guns and machine guns.

    Therefore, the Japanese cavalry can launch a frontal attack on them and break up their formation.

    Li Tian encountered this kind of thing not once or twice. Every time, the Japanese cavalry would cause heavy casualties to their infantry.

    Relying solely on rifle fire was unable to stop the Japanese cavalry¡¯s ferocious charge.

    But it¡¯s different now. They have a lot of machine guns, and there¡¯s no shortage of bullets for the machine guns.

    This group of Japanese troops actually planned to launch a frontal charge against them. In Li Tian's view, this was looking for death.

    In fact, the cavalry unit, which was very active before World War I, has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history since the arrival of the Maxim heavy machine gun.

    The reason why the cavalry troops can still maintain complete combat capabilities on the battlefield in the Far East is because the Chinese army at this time seriously lacks machine gun firepower.

    If you just rely on a bolt-action rifle, you can only fire five bullets from a magazine, and the cavalry's butcher knife will fall on their soldiers.

    At this time, on the rear line of defense, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were also ready to fight.

    They each had bright eyes, staring straight ahead.

    At the corner of the road, the roar of the Japanese cavalry's hooves was getting closer and closer.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
