Chapter 473 Gong Jiji wants to confront Sun Desheng
Although they dodged in time, the machine gunners were still shaken by the shock wave of the explosive pack.
Then they rushed back in a swarm and quickly picked up the heavy machine gun.
When they were preparing for the next round of shooting, the Japanese were no longer in sight.
All that was left was a devastated scene and the sound of the horse twitching before death.
Song Wenwan thought with great emotion that as long as the terrain for ambush was suitable, the Gansu Army had always been able to kill the Japanese very quickly.
Starting from the time the Japanese showed up 500 meters away, to the time the Japanese First and Second Cavalry Battalions rushed to the 200-meter position.
The whole process took no more than five minutes, and the entire army was wiped out by the Chinese army.
His Highness Miyajikijiteng, who was from the royal family of Wado Island, was so frightened by the tragic scene in front of him that he almost fell off his horse.
Within five days, his cavalry brigade, which had two regiments of troops, fought two battles in total.
In the first battle, they were defeated by Huo Jiaqiang's cavalry attack. With only 3,000 men against 10,000 Gansu troops, an entire regiment was destroyed.
In the second battle, they were defeated by Song Wenwan, and two cavalry battalions were wiped out without even a saber fight.
The previous regiment that suffered losses was not so bad, as they were all civilians. They could only blame their bad luck for their deaths.
Today is different. There are many important figures in the two groups that died in battle.
They were all young men who came with him to gild their reputations. He didn't know how to report to their families when he returned.
Song Wenwan has finished her work, and the next moment it is Sun Desheng's turn to perform.
At Sun Desheng's command, all his cavalry regiment mounted their horses and drew their sharp sabers.
Sun Desheng took the lead and rushed to the top of the slope.
He shouted in the direction of Gongjijiguten: "Cavalry Regiment, attack!"
Gong Jiji Juteng was still in a daze staring at the tragic scene in front of him.
His attendant pulled his horse's reins and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Your Highness Gong Jiji, there is a Chinese proverb that goes, 'As long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood.
Let's move our entire army back as soon as possible! If you want revenge, there will be many opportunities in the future."
Just when Gong Jiji was still hesitating.
They suddenly discovered that a black line appeared on the opposite slope.
Then they followed the black line, which was slowly advancing towards them.
Gong Jiji finally saw the black line clearly through his telescope.
It was none other than a cavalry unit advancing slowly.
Their cavalry were arranged in seven rows, with 200 men in each row. This was the number of troops of an entire regiment of the National Army.
Watching them moving forward slowly, the sense of oppression was immediately filled by them.
At this moment, Gong Jiji no longer needed the face of an imperial warrior.
He took the lead and turned his horse around, never mentioning the turn again.
Instead, they shouted "Retreat, retreat" and then fled in panic.
The attendants beside him were so arrogant that they couldn't stop His Highness Gong Jiji.
You are after all a major general and a brigade commander. If you don't arrange soldiers to cover our retreat, it may happen that no one can escape.
The defeated army of less than 600 people left their backs to the Chinese cavalry. The consequences can be imagined.
However, the cavalry led by Sun Desheng always maintained a leisurely attitude.
This was too scary, and the attendant had no choice but to follow his master and run back.
At this time, Sun Desheng was cursing in his heart!
Do you think I'm just strolling around like this because I want to? I want to lead the cavalry to charge.
But this slope was not very wide to begin with, and my Commander Song left me a pile of minced meat.
No matter how you tell me to charge, I only managed to chop down a few of the Japanese.
I don't know how many of our own people were tripped up by the corpses on the ground.
Seeing that the Japanese had started to turn around and flee, Sun Desheng was not in a hurry to chase them.
They didn't start to speed up until they passed the pile of corpses of Japanese soldiers and horses.
Song Wenwan, who had some free time, ran directly to the artillery position that had been arranged in advance.
Twenty 82 mortars are ready.
Under the unified command of Song Wenwan, the artillery aimed at the back of the Japanese.
Ten extremely rapid shots, all carried out as blocking bombardments at the longest distance.
The Gansu Army's artillery bombardment at such a long distance had absolutely no accuracy at all.
The main feature is that it is large in quantity and does not hurt anyone, but it is still scary.
Gong Jijiguten's last battalion and his brigade headquarters.
Looking at the thick barrage of sand and rocks raised by the bullets, they simply pulled the reins of their horses.
The Gansu Army’s artillery shells were falling like raindrops.
The Japanese war horses had already gone through a long journey of half a day and had run back and forth several times.
Their horse legs began to tremble.
There was really no other way but to force my way through the barrage.
The slower horse speed will inevitably affect their speed in passing through the barrage of bullets.
If they were hit by just one more shell, they would probably die here.
The urgent situation has left them no time to think carefully.
At this time, the shells fired by the Gansu Army's mortars could be fired back at distances of fifty meters.
This is telling Gong Jijiguten that you can either be killed by the artillery shells or fight with my cavalry.
At this moment, Gong Jiji's blood was boiling and he finally wanted to be a man.
In his opinion, there was still a chance of escape if the cavalry charged.
Even if he is in a terrible situation, he is still a major general and brigade commander of the empire. He can still surrender if he has a chance.
"Everyone, turn your horses around and let's fight the Chinese for the glory of the Emperor. Kill the chickens!"
The younger brothers in the Japanese cavalry team were almost scared to tears by Gong Jiji.
His words were a great encouragement to the civilians.
But for them, these second-generation dandies from the military, political and financial sectors, they cannot generate the slightest motivation.
Position determines the height of one's vision. The emperor in their minds is nothing more than the pinnacle of vested interests.
And those families, big and small, are branches of vested interests, and some are more noble than others.
However, they have no choice now and can only let their respective retainers protect them firmly in the middle.
This time Gong Jiji Juteng really tried his best, and he actually rushed to the front.
The horse riding and swordsmanship training since childhood gave Gong Jiji great confidence.
His mind is now full of thoughts about how to recreate the glory of his father's generation through his own efforts.
He wanted to use the imperial saber in his hand to chop off the head of the man opposite him.
He wanted to use his supreme military achievements to prove to his family that he was the qualified heir to the family.
And his brother is just a useless person who wastes his time.
The man facing him was Sun Desheng, the soul of the Gannan cavalry.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring the Gannan cavalry, Song Wenwan ordered the shelling to be stopped after the Japanese charged forward.
He stood on the slope happily, following Sun Desheng closely with the telescope in his hand.
Now the cavalry on both the Chinese and Japanese sides, under the leadership of their respective commanders, have changed into a cone formation.
Both sides wanted to break through the opponent's formation in the first round.
Sun Desheng's idea was to break through the Japanese ranks and then turn back to fight again.
What Gong Jijijuteng thought of was that after breaking through Sun Desheng's cavalry formation, they would just run away.
