¡°This gave the Japanese army the illusion of the Eighth Route Army¡¯s firepower at the beginning, but it was not actually very ferocious.
But in fact, the Eighth Route Army¡¯s hidden machine gun firepower was only not exposed when they first charged.
If all this firepower is exposed, then the Japanese charge will be directly repelled at the beginning.
They will not continue to charge forward.
But even if the Japanese cavalry discovered it now, it was too late.
Because many Japanese cavalry charged too deep, it was impossible for them to retreat.
The Japanese cavalry behind them were also charging forward, pushing them forward with them.
The Japanese cavalry in front could only keep moving forward, like a small boat in the waves involuntarily.
In front of them, the Eighth Route Army's firepower became more and more fierce, and some of the originally concealed machine gun firepower was all exposed at this time.
Although the Japanese cavalry were on the backs of their horses, they charged and fired at the same time.
But they basically used rifle firepower. Facing the powerful machine gun firepower and the firepower network, these rifle firepower seemed very weak.
"Da da da!!!!"
At this time, the machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army was like fire whips, constantly beating on the bodies of Japanese horses and cavalry.
Some of the Japanese war horses were hit by bullets from heavy machine guns, which directly blew their heads off.
¡°Sometimes the whole body of the horse was torn apart by bullets.
The neighing of the war horses and the wails of the Japanese cavalry were heard at this time.
"Retreat!! Retreat!!"
The Japanese cavalry in front were shouting at this time, but they had no other choice, because they were getting closer and closer to the front. Even if they retreated now, they would most likely be killed by bullets fired by the enemy. it's here.
The machine gun firepower of the Eighth Route Army roared almost all the time, and the angry flames sprayed out drowned the surging Japanese cavalry troops in front of them.
Behind this group of Eighth Route Army machine gunners is their blocking force.
The Japanese infantry troops were also attacking the Eighth Route Army's rear line of defense.
They had already heard the rumble of the cavalry's hooves, which gave hope to the desperate Japanese army, making them feel that as long as they seized this opportunity, they might be able to break through the enemy's defense line.
However, what they don¡¯t know is that the Japanese cavalry has suffered huge casualties. The more than ten light and heavy machine guns deployed by the Eighth Route Army in that place will become a nightmare that the remaining Japanese cavalry will never forget.
Mingzhe Siye held a telescope and looked at the troops charging ahead.
Under the suppression of the firepower of the Eighth Route Army's rear line of defense, the charge of the remaining Japanese troops had almost no effect.
The only purpose of their charge was to allow the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side to divert some of their attention from the Japanese cavalry to the Japanese infantry.
But this doesn¡¯t make any sense. If this Japanese infantry wants to break through, the prerequisite is that the Eighth Route Army¡¯s rear line of defense is overwhelmed by their cavalry troops.
" Ke Mingzhe was thinking about the night, and he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front. At first, it was like thunder, but later it became more and more sparse.
"The situation is not right. Contact the cavalry brigade immediately. Why did their charge over there stop?"
Mingzhe Siye asked.
He heard the sound of horse hooves fading away, as if he saw his hope of survival being drowned by the tide of the Eighth Route Army in the endless darkness.
The Japanese staff officer beside him heard this and immediately contacted the Japanese cavalry brigade.
Soon, he received a reply from the Japanese cavalry brigade.
¡°We organized two squadrons of cavalry and charged against the enemy¡¯s rear line.
However, the enemy deployed a large amount of machine gun firepower in advance. Our cavalry troops suffered heavy losses and could only retreat temporarily.
I hope your army can continue to hold on. Our main reinforcements will arrive here soon. "
This was a personal reply from the Japanese Cavalry Brigade Captain himself.
The casualties he paid for the wave of charges he had just organized were huge.
Not to mention anything else, in the first ten minutes of the battle, their cavalry troops organized two waves of charges.
&nWe don't have much time. When daybreak comes and the next wave of Japs comes, we can still fight another ambush. "
"yes!!"
The staff officer beside him shouted, asking the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to clean the battlefield as soon as possible.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army moved away the bodies of their own soldiers, and at the same time took away the supplies, weapons and equipment of the Japanese army. As for other things, they would not move them.
They had already evacuated the area before dawn.
However, the place they went to was not far away, less than five kilometers in front of this area.
The Japanese army would not have thought that these Eighth Route Army soldiers would ambush them again not far from here after fighting all night.
When Li Tian led his troops and planned to score twice, Chen Geng was also commanding the main force to launch the final attack on the 10,000 mobile troops besieged by the Japanese army.
The 10,000 Japanese troops were able to resist longer because the besieged area was larger.
It was not until dawn that they were all wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, in the area where the Japanese army was besieged, a large number of Japanese corpses could be seen everywhere, scattered everywhere, even on the treetops. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
