Check in from the bright sword

Akimoto Masakichi's nose was crooked with anger.

Masaki Akimoto was the captain of the 40th Battalion of the Independent Infantry.

When the artillery company of the Independent Regiment launched its shelling, Akimoto Masaki was lying on the observation post on top of his headquarters to observe the enemy's situation.

Seeing rows of shells falling on the position on the right side of Houmiao Village, blowing up the defensive position of the 2nd Infantry Squadron deployed there, Akimoto Masayoshi was very angry.

"Baga!" Akimoto Masaki said angrily, "Order, the artillery squadron will fight back immediately!"

The infantry brigade of the Japanese army is generally equipped with an artillery squadron, equipped with 4 75 mountain guns and 2 [-] infantry guns.

After receiving the order from Akimoto Masakichi, the artillery squadron immediately implemented artillery countermeasures, pouring rows of artillery shells into the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army.

Akimoto Masaki raised his binoculars again.

It turned out that the artillery squadron's counterattack had no effect.

Because the Eighth Route Army built artillery positions on the reverse slope of the mountain, the artillery firepower of the Japanese army could not threaten them at all.

"Baga Yalu! These damn cunning Chinese rabbits!" Akimoto Masakichi cursed again, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch the position of the 2nd Infantry Squadron being bombed.

The Eighth Route Army's shelling of the position of the 2nd Infantry Squadron lasted for more than five minutes.

When the red light from the explosion of the last shell was also disillusioned, the whole world was once again shrouded in darkness, and it seemed darker than before.

Akimoto Masakichi subconsciously pricked up his ears.

Because according to the standard infantry drill code, the infantry should charge after the shelling.

The Eighth Route Army would blow the bugle before charging, and they also liked to shout when charging.

But this time the situation was a bit abnormal. It was almost half a minute after the shelling ended, and there was no sound of bugles, let alone the shouts of the Eighth Route Army. What's going on?

Akimoto Masaki felt something was wrong.

Chapter 233

wrong!Something is not quite right!

Akimoto Masakichi shouted sharply: "Fire the flare!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and a few seconds later, two flares screamed into the air from the artillery position, and with the intense combustion of the magnesium powder of the projectile, they sprinkled dazzling light on the ground.

In an instant, the wilderness on the west side was illuminated like daylight.

Then, Akimoto Masaki was surprised to see a large group of Chinese cavalry sneaking like ghosts!

Almost all the Chinese cavalry had reached the defensive position of the 2nd Infantry Squadron, but the imperial soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Squadron were unaware of it.

Great!

Team Akimoto was careless this time!

He was actually played by the Eighth Route Army under the lights!

When fighting against Japan in the past, the Japanese army was rarely careless.

However, because the Eighth Route Army had few precedents of fighting the Japanese army head-on, the Japanese army was inevitably a little lax in thinking, and was caught off guard by the cavalry battalion!

Inertial thinking kills people!

As soon as the flare was fired, Sun Desheng knew that there was no need to hide it anymore.

Immediately, Sun Desheng drew out his saber with his backhand, and then raised it high above his head.

In the next second, Sun Desheng's slightly hoarse howl rose into the sky: "Cavalry battalion, attack!"

Accompanied by Sun Desheng's long hoarse howl, more than 400 soldiers in the cavalry battalion accelerated one after another, screaming, and rushing towards the Japanese defensive position like a tide.

"Puff puff puff puff puff"

The machine guns on the Japanese positions finally sounded.

Dazzling tongues of flame swept across.

The army horses rushing to the front were shot one after another, and fell to the ground with a sad hiss.

The vitality of military horses is much more tenacious than that of humans, but if they are directly hit in vital parts such as the heart or abdomen, they will not be able to bear it.

Under the ravages of Japanese machine gun fire, the cavalry fell down row by row.

But more cavalry rushed through the hail of bullets, stepped on the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge forward.

In just six or seven seconds, the first row of cavalry from the cavalry battalion flooded over the Japanese positions like a tide.

Sun Desheng was still brave and brave. He was still in front of the charge just now, and he was also the first to charge into the Japanese position at this moment.

With a flash of cold light, the saber in Sun Desheng's hand passed across a devil's neck flatly. He didn't even exert much force with this knife, but the sharp saber still cut off the devil's neck with a huge inertia, leaving a head It immediately fell to the ground, and Gu Lulu rolled away a long way.

"Kill!" Sun Desheng raised his saber first, and then slashed down diagonally.

A little devil had just raised the three-eight cover when he led a man with a rifle and was split into two pieces.

It is an exaggeration to say that it was split into two pieces, but it is true that it was cut open from the left chest to the right waist. The entire chest cavity and abdominal cavity were cut open by Sun Desun's knife.

Viscera and intestines spilled all over the floor.

Just by swinging his saber twice, Sun Desheng had already crossed the Japanese defensive position.

Behind Sun Desheng, more than 400 cavalry in the cavalry battalion swept past like a torrent, leaving a huge gap in the Japanese blockade.

"Bagayalu!"

Akimoto Masakichi's teeth were almost broken.

In just one round, the Eighth Route Army tore open a [-]-meter-wide hole in the Japanese blockade.

Such a result can be said to be completely beyond Akimoto Masakichi's expectations. If someone told him that the Eighth Route Army would break through their defense line in one attack before the war started, he would definitely think it was crazy.

However, now, such a cruel fact has actually happened.

The adjutant exclaimed: "The captain is not good. If the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army sweeps to the two wings, our entire defense line will be attacked by the enemy immediately, and it will collapse sooner or later."

"Bagayalu, you don't need to remind me." Akimoto Masaki was furious.

But anger turned anger, Qiu Yuanzhengji had nothing to do, because he only had a small reserve team in his hand, and it was a drop in the bucket to face a cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, the adjutant suddenly gave a light snort.
