"Chief of Staff, look! The Chinese ambush!"

While the two were talking, a guard suddenly screamed.

Yamamoto Ryoichi and Kato Masao turned around quickly and were extremely surprised to see that in the wilderness a few kilometers ahead, two cavalry suddenly appeared!

The number of these two cavalrymen is not very large, and each of them is only about twenty cavalrymen.

But what surprised Yamamoto Ryoichi and Kato Masao was that these two Eighth Route Army cavalry had been quietly ambushing less than five miles away from them! And they were never discovered!

"How is that possible?"

"How could there be an ambush here?"

"I have heard of ambushing in the forest, and ambushing in the valley, but I have never heard of ambushing in open areas. How did the Eighth Route Army do it?"

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato felt incredible.

In the end, the guard just now solved the puzzle: "Chief of Staff, the Chinese ambush should be hiding in the wheat haystack!"

"Nani? Haystack?" When Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato looked closely, they saw hundreds of haystacks spread across the wilderness ahead.

These haystacks are large and small.

If the middle of the large wheat hay stack is empty, it would be more than enough to hide a few cavalrymen.

"Baga!" Yamamoto Ryoichi said in a deep voice, "These Eighth Route Army are really cunning, it's really hard to defend against!"

"But, this is useless!" Kato Masao smiled grimly, "Although the Eighth Route Army is cunning, their commander is a stupid pig. It's too early for him to launch an ambush."

"If the Imperial Cavalry has arrived before launching the ambush, the Eighth Route Army's ambush can form a front-and-back attack with the small cavalry in front, so that the Imperial Cavalry will be in trouble."

"But now, the Imperial Cavalry can easily deal with them."

As the two of them spoke, the two Japanese cavalry squadrons adjusted their direction slightly and rushed towards the two Eighth Route Army cavalry that had just emerged.

The two Eighth Route Army cavalry didn't know what to do. They seemed to be confused and were still in a mess.

Running from the two ambushers was the starting Eighth Route Army cavalry, which did not seem to stop at all to share the pressure for friendly forces.

Seeing this scene, Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato both laughed.

But after laughing, Yamamoto Ryoichi was inevitably a little incredible.

Ryoichi Yamamoto said: "Kato, in terms of the previous battle between the two sides, the Eighth Route Army in Heyuan Prefecture should not be at this level?"

"With such a skill and tactical level, how could he be an opponent of the Imperial Army?"

"It's true." Kato Masao said, "The Eighth Route Army's performance today is a bit abnormal."

Speaking of this, the two old Japanese stopped at the same time and looked at each other in shock. Did the Eighth Route Army do it on purpose?

"Order, Matsushima Squadron and Sato Squadron..." Yamamoto Ryoichi was about to order, but it was too late.

Before he finished speaking, a boiling sound of horses and people suddenly sounded in the wilderness ahead. Immediately afterwards, the Matsuda Squadron, which was originally rumbling forward, and the more than 200 Sato Squadron transferred from the Mongolian army, all fell into the wilderness without warning.

"This is……"

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Masao Kato were both stunned.

A moment later, Masao Kato discovered the first thing: "Sleeping in the horse pit! Damn it, it's the trapping in the horse pit!"

Because the incident happened suddenly, the Matsushima Squadron and Sato Squadron, who were running forward at full speed, could not stop at all. The dozens of cavalry in front quickly stepped into a pit and fell to the ground.

The dozens of riders in the middle couldn't hold back, and then they hit him and fell into the trap.

Although the dozens of riders at the end avoided it in time, they unfortunately stepped on more traps on both sides.

In a blink of an eye, more than 200 cavalry squadrons of the two cavalry squadrons were chasing forward, and more than half fell to the ground, while the remaining half were already in chaos, and they were in a hurry.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army cavalry, who were originally like a "headless fly", suddenly changed their faces.

The Eighth Route Army cavalry, who had just become a mess, suddenly formed a neat line and began to charge forward.

In just a few minutes, two Eighth Route Army cavalry rushed to the front of the Japanese cavalry line. The remaining half of the Japanese cavalry had just left the pit area and had not had time to reorganize the team, but they collided head-on with the Eighth Route Army.

One side is in shock, and the other side has been planning for a long time, so the result can be imagined.

The sword light flashed by, and the heads of the Japanese cavalry landed on the ground one after another.

In a blink of an eye, more than 30 cavalry who escaped from the area of ​​the Horse Catch were killed.

At this time, more than 20 cavalry and Eighth Route Army cavalry who had "escaped in a hurry" before also came back.

The two Eighth Route Army cavalry who had been ambushing in the wheat haystack were also rushing out for five or six hundred meters before returning.

Invisibly, the cavalry of the Three Eighth Route Army formed a triangular formation in the uncovered wilderness, occupying the east, northwest and southwest respectively.

And this time, the Eighth Route Army cavalry did not charge again.

The Eighth Route Army cavalry took out their knives and returned to their sheaths, took out the Type 38 cavalry rifles, and fired continuously at the still messy Matsushima Squadron and Sato Squadron.

This time it is not dynamic shooting, but static shooting.

Therefore, the Eighth Route Army cavalry hit a very high hit rate, and gunfire sounded continuously, and the terrifying Japanese cavalry were shot and killed one by one.

Although some Japanese cavalry calmed down from the panic and raised their shots to fight back.

However, the resistance of a few Japanese cavalry was not enough to reverse the entire unfavorable situation.

Moreover, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army came from three different directions. The Japanese cavalry could not find the shooting dead corner to hide, nor did they know which direction to fight back.

All of this is a long story, but it is actually only a few minutes.

In less than five minutes, Matsushima Squadron and Sato Squadron were defeated.

The gap between the cavalry on both sides in terms of technical and tactical aspects was already very big. Now that the Japanese army has fallen into a trap, they are at a psychological disadvantage, which invisibly leads to a further decline in technical and tactical levels. The combat effectiveness shown in actual combat is even lower and weaker, so the performance on the battlefield can be said to be one-sided!

Before Yamamoto Ryoichi and Kato Masao reacted, the battle was basically over.

Then, the Eighth Route Army cavalry began to clean the battlefield openly in front of them and in front of hundreds of Japanese infantry less than three kilometers away.

It's really cleaning the battlefield.

While busy gathering the unowned army horses.

While busy collecting Japanese troops' equipment.

When he encountered a serious injury and death in the Japanese army or was fighting stubbornly, he would not hesitate to give him a blow. This group of Eighth Route Army didn't care about the bullshit Geneva Convention at all.
