Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 163: The Japanese Cavalry Regiment

Gu Changfeng's subordinates had gained experience in running away. Under the leadership of the first company commander Huang Zhengkui, each company quickly evacuated to the back mountain.

The artillery company was simpler. Lu Daya led his troops directly to the foot of the mountain and placed the remaining artillery shells on the car.

He ordered the remaining motor vehicle soldiers to evacuate, and the artillery soldiers followed behind.

There is a main road from Huxu Town that leads directly to Chunhua Town. Although the road conditions are not very good, it is sufficient.

Gu Changfeng and Zhao Ziqing were faster. After giving instructions to Lu Daya, the two of them led a dozen people and rushed towards the 301st Regiment.

Chunhua Town.

Wang Yaowu was a little overwhelmed. He had originally started to deploy defenses near Suoshu Town, but after only a few hours, the Japanese had broken through the defenses and started to attack Chunhua Town.

Faced with the attack of thousands of Japanese devils, he even mobilized the 306th Regiment, a reserve force, to fight.

"Commander, we can't contact Gu Changfeng, and the radio has gone silent." Gao Ling said with a bitter expression.

"What is the current situation of the 301st Regiment?" Wang Yaowu asked.

"Faced with the attack of a cavalry regiment of the Japanese, they also resisted with great difficulty, suffering losses exceeding that of an entire battalion."

"Fortunately, we have support from Gu Changfeng's subordinates, and things are a little better now, but the situation is not optimistic."

Gao Ling was very worried. He didn't expect that even the 301st Regiment had gone crazy and dared to stay behind to block more than Japanese soldiers!

Wang Yaowu stood up and took two steps, then looked at Gao Lingdao.

"Continue to contact Changfeng. I want to know how their battle situation is going."

"This guy actually hid a heavy artillery and didn't tell us. We don't know how effective it is."

The Katyusha rocket launcher was so powerful that not only the special forces heard it, but even Wang Yaowu in Chunhua Town heard it.

Seeing all this commotion, he now somewhat understood Gu Changfeng's intention.

Gao Ling nodded slightly and said, "Master, Gu Changfeng should be fine, but we should be careful!"

"He has two heavy artillery pieces. I think we can use them. I'm sure he won't say anything."

Originally, the two German heavy artillery pieces were transported to the 301st Regiment, but Ji Hongru became worried later.

After communicating with Gu Changfeng, he directly sent soldiers to escort him to Chunhua Town. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as they avoided the bombers of the 6th Division.

"It's feasible, let them cooperate."

Wang Yaowu was not stupid and didn't use the heavy artillery. He was curious about where Gu Changfeng got so many good things.

.........

"Hurry, Captain Ji is in danger."

Gu Changfeng shouted and quickened his pace again. They could now vaguely see the battlefield.

At this time, the 301st Regiment was like a mouse, being teased back and forth by the Japanese.

The violent explosion just now only forced the Japanese cavalry regiment to retreat briefly, and then they pounced again.

Mori Goroku was originally a little scared. After all, even his cavalry regiment could not do anything about that level of firepower coverage.

However, he later received news that the Chinese had only fired one round, and he felt relieved.

"These Chinese are at the end of their rope. Hurry up."

Mori Goroku began to urge his cavalry, as he knew that the Chinese in Huxu Town had already evacuated.

The two places are not far apart. If support comes, he will have to give up the current victory.

The 301st Regiment was in a very bad situation. At this time, including the guards returning from various places to provide support, there were only five or six hundred people left.

However, the Japanese cavalry regiment still had thousands of soldiers. If Li Jie had not led the rocket launcher platoon to support them, they would have been wiped out by now.

After all, the Japanese were still cavalry. No matter how bravely the soldiers of the 301st Regiment fought, it was difficult to make up for this gap, especially when the Japanese attacked from three sides.

"Boom!"

Bullets flew out of the two big guns. Gu Changfeng and the other man arrived at the shooting position and began to call out the names of the war horses and the Japanese soldiers.

Although the Japanese soldiers in the rushing state are not that easy to fight, it is not a big pressure for Gu Changfeng and Zhao Ziqing.

Although the Japs are small, their war horses are big targets.

The Japs are hard to aim at, so how could war horses be hard to aim at?

12.7mm bullets can kill tanks, so why would you be afraid of a beast?

With one bullet, the warhorse fell to the ground and died, and the Japanese soldier was thrown away.

It’s hard to say whether the devil will live or die, but he will definitely be in trouble!

"Commander Gu and the others are here, haha!"

Li Jie discovered the situation on the battlefield at the first time and couldn't help laughing.

In his opinion, since Gu Changfeng had arrived, they were basically safe.

As one of the earliest followers, he had a blind admiration for Gu Changfeng, or perhaps many people in the team had the same admiration.

Ji Hongru heard the voice, turned around and looked, smiled bitterly and said: "Changfeng didn't bring many people, but there are still thousands of Japanese soldiers."

Li Jie smiled and said, "Captain Ji, don't worry. Since Commander Gu is here, the follow-up troops won't be far behind."

He was very optimistic. Even though he had just faced the Japanese charge and was almost killed, he acted as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know how many Japanese soldiers died on the western hillside." Ji Hongru suddenly said.

This was the original purpose of the plan. If the expected results were not achieved, he would suffer a great loss.

"With such a big commotion, and those devils being the intended target, the outcome should be good."

Li Jie comforted.

It doesn't make much difference whether he is on the battlefield or not. Gu Changfeng and Zhao Ziqing's sniping speed is much faster than his.

So he was happy to comfort Ji Hongru, who had lost nearly half of his life.

"Baga! Kill those two snipers for me."

Colonel Mori Goroku, who was watching the battle, finally noticed Gu Changfeng and the other man. He became angry and immediately gave orders.

Afterwards, the cavalry guards beside Sen Wuliu rode out one after another and headed straight towards Gu Changfeng.

Gu Changfeng didn't notice any movement from Sen Wuliu, after all, the distance was still quite far.

He and Zhao Ziqing were enjoying the killing and had already changed to the third magazine. This also meant that at least forty of the charging Japanese had lost their combat effectiveness.

"Commander Gu, there are devils coming over there."

After emptying another magazine, the soldier observing nearby reminded.

"Old Zhao, change the target, everyone else on alert."

Gu Changfeng said decisively that they had to delay for a while.

When the other companies arrived, they were equipped with more than a dozen heavy machine guns and snipers from each company, so these Japanese cavalry could not be arrogant at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziqing glanced in the direction of the soldier's finger and snorted coldly.

"With just a hundred or eighty devils, you still want to kill us. Aren't you looking down on us?"

As he spoke, he took the magazine swiftly and replaced it quickly.

"Boom!"

The two gunshots rang out one after another, and then the two Japanese soldiers who were rushing suddenly became uncontrollable and were thrown directly away.

After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, the two Japanese soldiers were obviously dying.

The speed of the attack was too fast. When the horse's head was hit, it flew more than ten meters away. It would be strange if it didn't die.

"Baga, be careful of the Chinese sniper."

The Japanese lieutenant leading the team twitched his face slightly. The two soldiers under his command died so tragically!

As his orders were given, the Japanese troops spread out again.

Gu Changfeng and the other man did not stop. They hit people if they could, and if they couldn't hit them, they would just hit the horses.

Soon, the charging Japanese cavalry became a little frightened. After only seven or eight hundred meters, more than twenty of their companions had lost their combat effectiveness.

Adding the interference caused by their fallen companions, the Japanese lieutenant conservatively estimated that dozens more people would have to die before they could reach their shooting range!

The Japanese lieutenant turned his head to look in the direction of the regiment commander, gritted his teeth, and roared: "Everything is for His Majesty the Emperor, kill the chicken!"

He found that the captain was also paying attention to him, so he had no choice but to charge forward.

The Japanese lieutenant guessed correctly. When they charged to about 300 meters, more than of his subordinates died again, and only half of them were left.

However, they had already reached the shooting position, and the Japanese soldiers began to raise their guns, preparing to massacre the dozen people.

Now it is the turn of Gu Changfeng and his dozen men to be in danger.
