The Japanese have strong combat effectiveness, which is a recognized fact among the most popular people in this era, because many officers have had the experience of studying in Japan or have been trained as Japanese military consultants!

Many of the tactics of the Chinese army are also inheriting the Japanese army, so it is normal for many officers to be afraid of the Japanese.

But it does not mean that the Chinese army is afraid of fighting with the Japanese army. Donggong fought with the Japanese army hundreds of times, and the more they win, the less they lose, and they have long felt a sense of fear of the Japanese army, so the combat power they show is naturally much stronger!

For an army, the fighting spirit is the first priority, followed by weapons and equipment. At this stage, people operate weapons, so the role of people is still the first priority. With the same equipment, most of the domestic armies nowadays may not be opponents of the Japanese!

But the Eastern Anti-Japanese War is different. Even though the quality of the Eastern Anti-Japanese soldiers is much weaker than that of the Japanese army, they are not worse than that of the Japanese army in other aspects, especially because their combat purpose and belief are just, to protect their wives, children, and the elderly, and to defend this country and this nation!

Although the 36th Division is a reorganized unit and its combat effectiveness is one to two levels lower than that of several direct troops in the East Anti-Japanese War, Du Xinwu's direct reconnaissance battalion is the top unit of the 36th Division, and its equipment and personnel are the best. After intensive training, its combat effectiveness naturally increases rapidly!

Therefore, Du Xinwu had the confidence to use infantry against the elite cavalry squadron of the Japanese!

"Grouter, grenade launcher..." Captain Takado Sataro shouted.

"Sir, the heavy machine gun of the Chinese army is outside the range of the grenade launcher..." the grenade reported helplessly.

"Damn it, where is the mortar?"

"Mortars. We carry small caliber mortars. They are also not reachable..."

"Bastard. Order Yano-kun to organize a charge and shoot me the heavy machine gun of the China, otherwise we will all have to explain here!"

"Hayi!"

“Qiuqiu…”

"Be careful, the Japanese cannonballs, lie down!"

The Japanese were able to organize counterattacks in panic, which shows that they were indeed an elite force, with dozens of shells falling on the forward position of the reconnaissance battalion. A violent explosion sounded, and the entire position was shrouded in smoke!

"Damn it, mortar platoon, fight back and knock down the Japanese artillery positions!" As soon as he looked up, he saw many comrades in his position who had lost their signs of life around his position, Du Xinwu only felt that his blood was rushing to his forehead!

"yes!"

"Dada..."

The regular Zhendong came, and Du Xinwu's face immediately changed. It was the sound of horse hooves. The Japanese organized troops to launch a counterattack after the shelling!

On the flat ground, infantry vs. cavalry, the result can be imagined!

"Hurry. Become a scattered army formation, fight each other, mainly shooting and injuring Japanese war horses!" Du Xinwu quickly got up from behind the cover and shouted!

The gunshots rang out again, and Du Xinwu and the two soldiers rushed directly to the hillsides on both sides of the road.

The Japanese army gathered about a small team of Japanese troops to launch a counterattack on the reconnaissance battalion. The fierce and cruel faces behind the sabre were ferocious and cruel. Within two or three hundred meters, the war horses rushed to the front with one sprint!

The soldiers who had not had time to retreat to the hillsides on both sides were soon submerged by the Japanese cavalry. Obviously, their chances of survival were slim!

"Battle me!" Du Xinwu roared angrily and began to fight back against the Japanese cavalry, with gunfire around him!

The battle was extremely fierce. This Japanese army is an experienced veteran. The service age in the army is over three years, and their reaction and combat qualities are first-class. Moreover, they are deeply influenced by the spirit of Bushido and are not afraid of life and death!

Du Xinwu had some contact with the Japanese army before, but in most cases the level of combat was relatively small, and the Japanese army did not have much force, which was basically not a battle of the same scale. Now, a cavalry squadron of the Japanese army has a force of no more than the reconnaissance battalion, and its weapons and equipment are similar. Except for the other side being cavalry, the Japanese army actually did not have an advantage in other aspects!

Sataro Takado was also surprised. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese army that ambushed him was beyond his expectations. It was obvious that this was an elite unit in the Chinese army!

At this time, he was not in a hurry to return to Longhua. If he could destroy an elite army of the Chinese army, it would be a great military achievement. On the contrary, if he returned with the current losses, it would not only be of no benefit, but he might also be scolded by the superiors!

It is worthy of being the Japanese. Under our attacks, we can quickly adjust and stabilize the front line, and even launch a counterattack!

While the Japanese Cavalry Squadron was fighting with the reconnaissance battalion led by Du Xinwu, Zhou Xuyang led two special operations teams to escort the prisoners and rushed to the edge of the battlefield.

"Boss Commander Du seems to be insufficient in his combat effectiveness of the Japanese. He was beaten to fight back by the Japanese. The situation was a bit stalemate?" Liangzi observed with a telescope in his hand.

"Everyone has a first time, Du Xinwu's performance is much better than that of ordinary people!" Zhou Xuyang commented calmly and objectively.

"Boss, look, the Japanese used cavalry to charge and counterattack, and secretly moved the mortar position forward three hundred meters!"

"Oh?" Zhou Xuyang was shocked.

"The Japanese are targeting the heavy machine gun position of the reconnaissance battalion. Hurry up, notify Battalion Commander Du immediately and be careful of the heavy machine gun position!"

Although Zhou Xuyang's warning was very timely, he moved the mortar position forward by 300 meters with a counterattack and gun smoke, just enough to reach the range of the heavy machine gun position of the reconnaissance battalion.

"Dongdong..."

"Lying down, lying down..."

"Damn it, transfer the heavy machine gun quickly. The Japanese are so fucking sinister..." After eating the sandy soil, Du Xinwu almost got angry. He finally understood in his heart that he was too arrogant before. Even though he thought he had let go, in fact, he didn't do enough!

"Battery Commander, our heavy machine guns have been queued up, and only one of the four heavy machine guns has been rescued!"

"What, just grab it back?" Du Xinwu trembled. Heavy machine guns are not a big deal. Such guns are not easy to produce. A heavy machine gun can be replaced with thirty rifles!

"Where are people?"

"Not many people died. Seven or eight were injured. Platoon Commander Wang was also seriously injured!"

"Bastard. Organize soldiers with good marksmanship in the battalion immediately and get rid of the Japanese artillery for me. Go quickly!" Du Xinwu kicked his communication squad leader out of the distance!

"Boss, Du Xinwu seems to have suffered a great loss. It seems that only one of the four heavy machine guns is left. Should we help him?"

"Not yet, we are just here to scoop, not to help." Zhou Xuyang said. "We can't follow us and be nanny every time they fight in the future?"

"But, just by their people, if they want to deal with this Japanese cavalry, even if they win, there will be a lot of casualties!"

"This is the price that a force has to pay to mature. Do you still remember how we came here?" Zhou Xuyang said, "It is said that our ghost army is so powerful outside, but how do they know how many of our comrades left us for this!"

"A general's success has led to thousands of bones. Boss, do you think this is the reason?" A trace of gloom flashed in Liangzi's eyes. Among the sacrificed people, there were also people who wanted to be good to him. If people are separated forever today, it really felt bad.

"Someone will come to help them!" Zhou Xuyang said.

"who?"

"You forgot that the 36th Division also has an independent cavalry regiment. You must have been on the way to arrive, attacking front and back. The fate of this Japanese cavalry squadron is destined. If it leaves now, there may be a glimmer of hope of escaping, but it will eventually be destroyed by us!" Zhou Xuyang said with a smile.

"Yes, why did I forget this!"

"Boss, the Cavalry Regiment of the 36th Division called to ask about the battle situation?" asked the communications soldier.

"Where has the cavalry regiment been?"

"There are two beams, and it is expected to arrive in twenty minutes!"

"Tell Commander Dong that he only has a quarter of an hour. In a quarter of an hour, I will see the cavalry regiment launch an attack from behind the Japanese!" Zhou Xuyang ordered calmly.

"yes!"

"Battery Commander, Chief Zhou sent someone to inform him and launch a general attack in a quarter of an hour!"

"General Attack, what a joke he is? We can only fight with the Japanese army now. Not to mention a quarter of an hour, we may not be able to turn into a counterattack in half an hour!" Du Xinwu was immediately angry when he heard this.

"This is the order of Chief Zhou. You must be prepared for a counterattack in a quarter of an hour!"

"Bastard, he is standing and talking without a pain in his back. The Japanese are not melons. I can cut whatever I want?"

"Battery Commander, will Chief Zhou personally help us?"

Du Xinwu's eyes flashed. This obviously means that you will give your reconnaissance battalion another quarter of an hour. If it doesn't work, we will come, but this is obviously not good, so we can only find an excuse first.

"Damn, this Zhou surname is so bullying!" Du Xinwu is not the only smart person. There are many veterans in the reconnaissance camp, so naturally some are smart people!

"Battorney General, what should we do? If we can't take the Japanese cavalry squadron, we will take advantage of the enemy surnamed Zhou. If the division commander knows, we must cut us off!" Several platoon leaders felt a feeling of being insulted, and their faces showed reluctance and anger!

"Damn, the Japanese have at least half of their troops. They built a simple circular position in the counterattack just now. The Japanese have cavalry. They can stick out at any time. Our existing troops cannot defend them, so it is too difficult to completely eliminate them!" Company commander Hu Shouzheng analyzed.

"Our heavy machine gun is only left, but the gun platoon is still there, and there is still fire support for attacking."

"If the entire battalion turns into a strong attack in a quarter of an hour, even if we can take down this Japanese army, our casualties will be very serious..." Second company commander Li Quanyou said with concern.

"Battalion Commander, this is the first battle since the establishment of our reconnaissance battalion. Can't we just give the credit to others?"

"What's the first battle? Haven't we fought with the Japanese before?"

"Did the previous actions be done together?"

"The order for this operation was issued by President Lu himself, so that we can obey General Zhou's orders in everything. No matter what the purpose of his order was, a quarter of an hour later, my battalion will be turned into a counterattack. Please listen to me. Who dares not to execute the order? Don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless, and implementing battlefield discipline!" Du Xinwu said slowly.
