Chapter 427 Cavalry Brigade
Wang Ming gently brushed off the dust on his body and revealed a deep smile.
"Just average, third in the world!"
"Then... who are the first and second?"
"Well, if you chat like this, you must have no friends?"
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he crawled forward, ready to get closer to assess the effects of the bombing.
Brigade Commander Wang looked at Wang Ming crawling over with his butt sticking up and touched his forehead.
"How did he know that I have no friends? It's really strange!"
This bombing consumed 20 tons of ammunition of the aviation division and destroyed Hu Zongnan's entire regiment.
The same bombing also occurred in Shenmu and Fugu, causing huge casualties to the enemy.
Hu Zongnan looked at the raging fire and the two or three hundred officers and soldiers who had escaped, and his heart sank.
He never expected that the Eighth Route Army could actually summon bombers?
"No, this must be the plane of the Independent Column. How did they join the war? We have been polite enough to them. Why are they still interfering in the affairs between us and the Eighth Route Army? This is too much!"
However, Hu Zongnan was also unable to speak out his grievances and could only prevent the independent column from participating in the war through secret coordination.
Because he couldn't send a telegram to the whole country saying that Li Yunlong was immoral and that I was going to annihilate the Eighth Route Army, and you came to take sides?
"Send a telegram to Chongqing and ask them to coordinate with the Independent Column and stop interfering! We won't touch a hair of the Independent Column, but we also hope they won't treat us as a pushover!"
At five o'clock in the morning, Wang Meng received the telegram sent in Chen Bulei's personal name as scheduled.
"Haha, this Chen Bulei said it so easily that we should not care, but doesn't he know that we are only as good as the Eighth Route Army? I didn't expect that after being in the political arena for so long, he is still so naive!"
Lin Shubing took the telegram, read it briefly, and then returned it to Wang Meng.
"Mengzi, maybe Chen Bulei really knows that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, so he told us not to interfere! He is not as simple as we think!"
Wang Meng read Chen Bulei's telegram again. Indeed, beneath the polite words, there were threats everywhere!
It seems that what Lin Shubing said was right. Chen Bulei analyzed the current situation to Wang Meng and told the Independent Column to stop while they were ahead and not force them to deal with the Independent Column together!
"He is indeed a cunning old man! Now is not the time to turn hostile, otherwise I will write a "Proclamation to Punish the Bandits" to let him see our old Wang's writing style!"
"Forget it, forget it, stop talking nonsense! Let's think about how to deal with the current situation!"
Wang Meng pondered for a moment, then immediately "sincerely" apologized to Chen Bulei, saying that he was invited by the Eighth Route Army to bomb the Japanese who had infiltrated the enemy's rear, but he did not expect that it was dark and the road was slippery, so he mistakenly bombed the Central Army.
Anyway, I just want to say, sorry, I didn’t see it!
However, taking advantage of this time difference, the F6F Hellcat fighters, B-17 Flying Fortress bombers, and even the F4F-3P reconnaissance aircraft from Pingshun Airport and Qingyang Airport were all dispatched. A total of 150 fighters, 30 bombers, and 10 reconnaissance aircraft rushed to various battlefields!
Hundreds of tons of aerial bombs, rockets, and heavy machine gun bullets were poured down on the unprepared Central Army.
The Central Army's air defense capabilities posed no threat to the aviation division at all.
Hu Zongnan's face turned green with anger when he looked at the casualty data reported by various troops. This bombing alone caused him to lose more than 20,000 troops.
However, the loss of manpower was not the most fatal. The most crucial thing was that the planes of the independent column specifically targeted his logistics troops and artillery to bomb them, bringing them back to the same starting line as the Eighth Route Army in terms of firepower.
Li Yunlong, who was on the outskirts of Yao County, saw that half of Hu Zongnan's 10th Cavalry Brigade had been destroyed by aerial bombs, and he began to gain confidence.
Originally, he was thinking of bypassing Yao County and not engaging in a head-on confrontation with Ma Quanzhong's cavalry. After all, cavalry has a natural suppression over infantry.
Thousands of horses rushed over, the earth shook and the momentum was as powerful as a rainbow.
"Send a company of smart soldiers to lure all of Ma Quanzhong's cavalry over here!"
Li Yunlong occupied a high ground, ready to attack from high ground and take the lives of the cavalry while they slowed down.
As expected, Ma Quanzhong, who was dizzy from the explosion, was full of anger. Looking at a company of Eighth Route Army soldiers, he immediately wanted to vent his anger.
"Damn it! The planes of the independent column bullied me, and this small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers don't even take me seriously? This is too much! Everyone, get on your horses! Get ready to charge!"
The adjutant looked at them from a distance and thought that this small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers seemed to be well-trained, and he was nervous.
"Brigade Commander, are we just going to charge straight in like this? Our mission is to control Yao County to prevent the Eighth Route Army or the Independent Column from cutting us off!"
"Are you fucking stupid? Even if we trample on this small group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, we can crush them to death. Besides, I'm really angry right now, and my pee is fucking yellow. Why don't you let me vent my anger? Look at how tattered they are, they are probably guerrillas, what's there to be afraid of?"
Now that the superior has spoken, what else can a small adjutant like him say?
At Ma Quanzhong's command, more than a thousand horses galloped away, and the "guerrillas", seeing the herd of horses, immediately ran up the hillside!
When Ma Quanzhong saw that these guerrillas were as cowardly as mice, his contempt for them grew even stronger.
"Kill!"
Soon the guerrillas disappeared over the ridge, and Ma Quanzhong's horses gradually saw every blade of grass and tree on the ridge.
Just as Ma Quanzhong raised his saber and prepared to harvest, he noticed large human figures appearing on the ridge, followed by a barrage of bullets.
General-purpose machine guns, automatic rifles, and mortars poured ammunition at the horse team heading uphill.
An automatic rifle is a firing point.
Ma Quanzhong looked at the Eighth Route Army on the hillside, and he still had no fear in his heart. After all, in his understanding, when cavalry fought against infantry, it would be a one-sided massacre.
But he forgot that this law only applies to infantrymen who appear in a surprise attack and are facing bolt-action rifles.
Faced with powerful firepower, a high-speed cavalry charge would be suicidal and would only make him die faster!
Ma Quanzhong watched his cavalry being harvested one after another. The confidence and anger he had just felt gradually turned into worry and fear!
But the arrow has been shot and he cannot turn back now. He can only rush forward, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.
But things went against their wishes. The cavalry in the first row realized something was wrong and prepared to desert. They turned their horses' heads and ran to the side.
With the first one, there will be a second and a third. Ma Quanzhong's cavalry split into two directions like a pair of legs split apart.
