Chapter 1625 Death Charge(2/3)
"Xiao Ma! I'll leave my wounded soldiers to you, too. Hold your position!"
As he spoke, another regiment leader pulled out the saber that was stuck in the sand, "Babys! Get the grenades! Go fuck the devil's mother!"
"Fuck its mother!"
The cavalrymen under this regiment leader also shouted in unison, drew their sabers, picked up grenades, and followed them towards the sand dunes where their regiment's horses were hiding.
In the trenches, the wounded soldiers and even Ma Jintao's men just watched helplessly, watching those compatriots willingly die.
"Brother-in-law! Let's..."
"Shut up! Hold your ground!"
Ma Jinyu glared at Zhao Jinyu before he finished speaking, and then explained in a loud voice, "I, Ma Jintao, are not afraid of death. Now someone must rush into the formation to stop the Japanese and buy time for the main retreating force.
But there must be someone guarding here, guarding the position and preventing the Japanese from passing by here! Old and young gentlemen! Brothers and uncles! None of our cavalrymen who lick blood with their blades are afraid of death!
The difference today is that you will die early and die later. If someone rushes into the formation, someone must hold the position! Listen to my orders! Load the bullets! Listen to my whistle and prepare to fire!"
"yes!"
In the long trench line, the remaining cavalrymen and wounded men roared in response to the order.
"Jinyu! Get ready to attack the jar with fire!"
"ignition!"
Following Zhao Jinyu's order, the wounded and orderly soldiers under his command immediately lit the torches prepared in advance and poked them at the trench line, and then placed wine jars filled with fuel and yellow sand at hand.
Almost at the same time, the two regiment commanders took their few remaining cavalry and rushed out when Wei Ran pressed the shutter. They rushed against the retreating troops towards the pursuing Japanese and tanks, and rushed towards the place.
A deadly poisonous fog.
"I'm not leaving!"
At this moment, a wounded man with blisters on his body roared hoarsely, turned over and fell off the stretcher, ignoring Wei Ran who subconsciously pressed the shutter towards him, and stumbled a few steps towards the trench, struggling
He saluted, "Commander Ma, give me a gun, or give me a saber."
"Plop! Plop!"
Before Ma Jintao could agree, several more wounded people fell off the stretchers. Some of them had frightening translucent blisters all over their bodies, some were wrapped in bandages, and some had broken legs or broken legs.
The arm was only kept from dying and losing consciousness by the rope tightly strangling the wound.
Under Ma Jintao's panicked gaze, and as Wei Ran pressed the shutter again and again, the wounded helped each other into the trenches, spontaneously taking up the positions vacated by the cavalry who had just left, and picking up those soldiers who were going to die.
The carbines left behind by the charging cavalry loaded bullets into the weapons in their hands amidst the sound of mechanical collisions.
"This is the backbone of my Chinese sons and daughters!"
Ma Jintao clenched his saber and murmured, his eyes as red as stained with blood staring at the cavalry team in the distance that had already engaged the enemy, watching them charge, fall, explode, detour, charge again, and fall again.
...
until...
Until those cavalrymen became fewer and fewer, until those ownerless horses ran wildly due to the severe pain caused by the knife that their owners had cut on their buttocks before they were alive, and finally carried four grenades in their saddlebags to the Japanese.
They exploded one after another on the way to the charge.
Because of the desperate cover of this cavalry, the main force was able to distance itself and quickly retreated to the other side of the Shaying River while avoiding the Japanese artillery fire.
During this process, more and more injured people decided to stay - this is completely different from the historical records Wei Ran learned.
Finally, the Japanese were getting closer and closer, and the Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer, so close that they were within the range of rifles and even box guns, but Ma Jintao never blew the whistle!
While waiting anxiously, the nearest tank was less than 20 meters away from the trench line!
"Toot——!" Ma Jintao finally blew the whistle!
"Da da da da!"
For a moment, all the machine guns deployed on this trench line opened fire at the same time, covering the enemies who were close at hand!
At the same moment, another part of the cavalry who had already prepared rounded their arms and threw out the grenades and fire jars they had prepared!
Amidst the rumbling explosions, the fastest tanks were ignited one after another and stopped. The Japanese behind the tanks also fell to the ground under the double blow of grenades and machine guns.
"Poison gas bomb!" Ma Jintao gave a new order, Zhao Jinyu immediately set up the grenade, and Wei Ran immediately took a poison gas bomb in one hand and got ready.
"Boom!"
Four seconds after the order was issued, the first gas bomb was fired at the minimum range. At this time, there was no need to aim at all.
"Tum! Tum! Tum! Tum!"
Amidst the intensive firing sound, Zhao Jinyu pulled the firing trigger again and again, risking his life, and at the same time slightly changed the throwing direction of the grenade laterally, while Wei Ran fired the remaining gas bombs one after another.
One by one, the two men fed the grenade into the grenade. With tacit cooperation, the two men fired almost one round per second!
After all ten grenades were fired, panicked screams were heard from the Japanese charging formation, and even the momentum of the attack slowed down.
However, at this time, a breeze blew from behind Wei Ran and others, pushing the poisonous mist farther away.
This unexpected surprise made the other cavalry more energetic in throwing grenades and firing!
"If you can still ride a horse, come with me after throwing the grenades!"
Ma Jintao said hello and was the first to run along the traffic trench towards the sand dunes behind the trench.
After receiving the order, both Wei Ran and Zhao Jinyu did not hesitate, picked up their sabers and ran towards the sand dunes of Cangma.
"If we charge from the side, how many rounds can we kill?"
Ma Jintao said, already getting on his horse, "Brothers, risk your lives! Get on your horse!"
Following the order, more than 150 cavalrymen who were still capable of fighting came and mounted their horses without hesitation.
"Special Agent Company! Charge!" Ma Jintao shouted his most accustomed slogan at this critical moment of a life-and-death battle.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
The cavalry also responded in the most accustomed way - including Wei Ran.
"Open the Heavenly Gate!"
Following Ma Jintao's roar, everyone subconsciously leaned forward and clenched their sabers with slumped shoulders and elbows!
Under the collision of the stirrups, the war horse, which had already had a premonition of something, ran at a speed unprecedented in the past!
"puff!"
Wei Ran's first knife sliced through the neck of a Japanese soldier easily.
Without lifting it up at all, the saber was gently placed on the shoulders of the second and third Japs.
Thanks to the bonus brought by the poisonous mist, the losses in the first round of killing them were not great, and the gains were considerable.
Moreover, the machine guns on our own position also cooperated with them very well, almost pressing against the horse heads and tails of the charging troops to suppress them!
However, when they started the second round of killing, the machine guns in the Japanese tanks had also reacted, and the infantry who were lucky enough not to be affected by the poisonous mist had also begun to raise their guns to attack.
"puff!"
Wei Ran once again chopped off a Japs arm, and he was also stabbed in the leg with a Japs bayonet.
"clang!"
During the chop, which was slightly deformed due to the inability to exert enough force due to his injured thigh, the saber in Wei Ran's hand collided with the rifle that the Japanese subconsciously raised horizontally.
The high speed brought by the horse's running easily knocked over the Jaap, but the opponent's subconscious block caused the saber full of gaps in Wei Ran's hand to be broken into two sections!
Throwing away the remaining half of his saber, Wei Ran directly pulled out the box cannon and shot out fan blades one after another while running wildly.
Until they emptied the bullets in two box cannons in succession, they rushed to the other side again - by this time, they had less than a hundred people left, especially...acting leader Ma Jintao did not survive!
Just like the cavalry they saw before, these people who did not survive also pulled the firing wires of the grenades in their swags before they died, and slashed the horses' buttocks, allowing the horses to help them
The final round of death charge was carried out!
"I am the acting leader Wei Ran! Follow me and continue rushing!"
While Wei Ran was speaking, his hand had already taken out the anti-Japanese sword from the metal book under the cover of his turban!
"rush!"
The remaining No. 70 or 80 cavalry roared at the top of their lungs and followed Wei Ran in a new round of roundabout attacks without hesitation!
Compared with the previous saber, although the blade length of the anti-Japanese sword provided by the metal book is shorter, it is better in that the handle is longer and sharper!
But even so, after this round of killings, both Wei Ran and the biting black horse were injured again, and a bullet even penetrated the lower edge of Wei Ran's left collarbone.
What's even worse is that there are now less than 30 of them left.
“The last round”
Zhao Jinyu tremblingly loaded the box cannon with bullets and said, "I can't chop anymore, I have no strength."
"Then let's do the last round."
Wei Ran also trembled and took out a magazine, loaded the box cannon with bullets, then pulled the reins, turned the direction with the few remaining cavalry, and began to charge again.
In this round, Wei Ran ran out of bullets again and hacked to death and injured two or three Japanese again.
