202. Chapter 202 Chen Ziyun fights against the puppet cavalry(2/2)
"The Second Battalion of Mountain Artillery provided cover, and the Second Battalion quickly rushed over to help and dispatched an infantry company to protect the artillery."
"Commander of the fourth platoon, I led the fourth platoon of the guard company to stay at the artillery position."
Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face and immediately gave the battle order.
He personally commanded the second battalion to fight and began to rush towards the third battalion for reinforcements.
At present, the Puppet Mongolian Army has deployed more than a thousand infantry from the First and Second Guard Groups to attack from the north.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Regiments carried out harassment attacks from the east, west, and south.
Chen Ziyun just encountered the puppet Mongolian cavalry, and you can see the strength of those cavalry.
Most of the puppet cavalry grew up on horseback, and they can be completely integrated with the war horses.
Most of them can do techniques such as hiding on horseback, standing on horseback, and shooting while horseback is on.
There are currently more than 1,000 cavalry troops in the three cavalry regiments. They raided from three sides and pinned down the three battalions.
Fortunately, the third battalion of the 358th Regiment had six Shanxi orogen cannons to assist in the battle, otherwise, they might have suffered a devastating blow.
Of course, the puppet Mongolian troops continued to attack, and their casualties continued to increase.
Especially since they were supported by sixteen Liao-made field guns, the threat to the Third Battalion would be even greater.
After Chen Ziyun commanded the troops of the Second Battalion to set off, the Second Company of Mountain Artillery launched an artillery bombardment.
Six Type 94 mountain guns continued to bombard the puppet Mongolian infantry, reducing the defensive pressure on the third battalion.
Sun Xiong commanded the artillery to launch precise strikes, posing a certain threat to the puppet Mongolian army attacking from the north.
Lin Yunzhi, the commander of the 7th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, quickly received the report. When he learned that there were troops approaching the third battalion's position, he sneered at the corner of his mouth.
The sixteen Liao-made field guns of the cavalry artillery regiment quickly turned their muzzles, and the three cavalry regiments also began to receive combat orders.
A large number of cavalry gathered together and they quickly rushed towards the second battalion.
Lin Yunzhi's idea was very simple. He wanted to assemble the main force of the 7th Division and instantly eat the troops of the 2nd Battalion rushing over for reinforcements.
But he would never have thought that the person commanding the second battalion in combat at this time would be Chen Ziyun.
As dust was flying in the distance, the ground was shaking slightly, and the sound of horse hooves was heard, Chen Ziyun decisively gave the order.
The three infantry companies of the second battalion, with the machine gun company as the core, quickly spread out to build positions and launched defense on the spot.
Each company's light machine guns, rifles, and grenade launchers form the first line of defense.
If you build a shell gun and a submachine gun, you can build a second line of defense.
Each squad's battle still relies on light machine guns as its core.
The soldiers quickly dispersed, looking for and digging bunkers on the spot.
At that time, grenades were fired rapidly, and with the sound of explosions, shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.
Some soldiers were caught off guard and began to be hit, dying on the spot.
Similarly, when the puppet Mongolian cavalry advanced rapidly, Zhu Mingxuan Artillery Battery and Sun Xiongshan Artillery Battery 2 concentrated their artillery fire.
Those cavalry also suffered casualties during their rapid advance.
By 5:15, three cavalry regiments and more than 900 cavalry troops were approaching quickly.
The cavalrymen carried Liao-made rifles and started shooting from a long distance.
At the same time, a large number of cavalrymen drew their sabers and spiked hammers and quickly approached the Second Battalion's position.
Bullets were fired one after another, and the puppet Mongolian cavalry troops had a clear division of labor.
Chen Ziyun looked through the telescope with a serious expression on his face.
At this time, some of the puppet cavalry fired suppressively, while some of the puppet cavalry quickly approached with cold weapons.
According to cavalry tactics, cavalry should charge in a concentrated manner.
But with the emergence of machine guns and other weapons, the cavalry would simply be a target if they had to concentrate their charge.
So the cavalry quickly dispersed around and charged from all sides at the same time to distract the second battalion's defensive firepower.
"Batalion Commander Zhao, ordered the machine gun company to fire 82MM mortars to focus on attacking the puppet Mongolian army's machine gun legs."
"Especially their light and heavy machine guns, we must not let them set them up."
"Please keep an eye out to see if they are carrying grenade mortars."
Chen Ziyun called to Commander Zhao of the Second Battalion and immediately gave the battle order.
At this time, the Puppet Mongolian cavalry charging from each company had already started shooting.
Type 38 rifles and Jin-made light machine guns launched intensive fire strikes.
The puppet Mongolian cavalry kept advancing, but their cavalry and horses were constantly shot and killed.
As they approached, the grenade launchers equipped in each platoon also began to fire grenades.
"Da da da!"
In some areas where the puppet Mongolian cavalry is about to break through, the four moon-type heavy machine guns of the machine gun battery will immediately open fire.
The Type 92 heavy machine gun launched burst fire, and bullets hit the puppet Mongolian cavalry accurately.
The Second Battalion troops were under the personal command of Chen Ziyun and showed a relatively tenacious defense.
Although the large number of cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army surrounded them instantly, the Second Battalion was like a hedgehog, making it impossible for the puppet army to talk.
After a short period of time, hundreds of cavalrymen began to fall to the ground, and the injured horses also began to wail in pain.
The battle lasted until 5:40, and the puppet Mongolian cavalry suffered about two hundred casualties.
At this time, after continuous fighting, the puppet Mongolian cavalry was attacked one after another. They suffered 400 casualties, which was no longer the strength of a cavalry regiment.
Of course, those casualties were caused by the 2nd Battalion of Bu Maofu, and the results of the 3rd Battalion and Artillery Corps were also included.
The commander of the Puppet Mongolian Army who directed the battle quickly began to withdraw from the battle. After the Puppet Army Division Commander Lin Yunzhi received the report, his face was ashen.
At six o'clock, he came directly to the front line, commanded the cavalry troops, and raided directly towards the position of the Second Artillery Company of Sun Xiongshan.
