Chapter 550: The 8th Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army
But Yi Shun'e was indeed a little too arrogant.
Although the Fifth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army claimed to have five cavalry regiments, each regiment had only more than 500 people.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment were all Type 38 rifles discarded by the Japanese, or old chambered rifles and Hanyang rifles captured from the Chinese army.
As for the artillery, there were only five small-caliber mortars. It was only because Yishun'e risked his dignity that he thought it was not proper for a division to not have even one cannon, so he asked the Japanese for five small-caliber mortars.
However, maybe his IQ is as short as his height, and he insists on competing with Gan Dunzhu.
On the second day, Wang Meng, who was completely unaware of the situation, issued an order to attack. Zhang Dabiao's Second Army's 104th Armored Division and 105th Armored Division marched northward toward Wuchuan, 50 kilometers away.
According to intelligence, there was only one squadron of Japanese devils and the 8th Division of the puppet Mongolian Army in Wuchuan.
Therefore, Zhang Dabiao decided that the 104th Division would be responsible for attacking Wuchuan, while the 105th Division would bypass Wuchuan and deploy on the right wing according to the established route.
It took the 104th Armored Division just over an hour to reach the outskirts of the small city of Wuchuan, covering a distance of kilometers.
In a brick house in Wuchuan County, Zhabu Zhaqing, the commander of the Eighth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, was still sleeping with a Mongolian woman in his arms.
"Division Commander, it's bad! The independent column is surrounding the city!"
Compared with the cautious Yishun'e, the 1.9-meter-tall Zhabu Zhaqing seems particularly bold.
How can a man who can sleep with a woman in his arms in Wuchuan County, 50 kilometers away from Hohhot, not be bold?
"Why are you panicking? Does the independent column have so many horses? How did they get here so quickly after traveling over a hundred miles? And where are our spies?"
Zhabu Zhaqing changed his clothes and ran quickly to the low city wall. When he saw countless tanks and armored vehicles through the telescope, he gradually fell into despair.
"Qiu! Forgot about the independent column and the armored vehicles! Did our spies go out to drink?"
Zhabu Zhaqing never expected that his so-called spies were killed in advance by the scouts sent by Zhang Dabiao, and now they are all reunited in the underworld!
"Master, what should we do now?"
"What should we do? With the bad things we have done, if they fall into the hands of the independent column, we will definitely go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and be cut into pieces! Notify the brothers, everyone get on the horses! Prepare to charge!"
Zhabu Zhaqing still has some self-awareness, and he has indeed done a lot of bad things.
With the support of the Japanese devils and the fact that he had people with guns in his hands, there were only four words to describe the land of Wuchuan: rampant and domineering!
It would be fine if Zhabu Zhaqing just beat people and robbed things on a daily basis, after all, these have been compulsory courses for warlords since ancient times. But this bastard is even trying to learn from the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty and pursue the right of virginity!
(It is said that when the Mongols ruled the Central Plains, each Han village had to send a Mongol, and when a couple got married, the bride had to be with the Mongol on the wedding night.)
At first, Zhabu Zhaqing only attacked the Han people, but the Han people could not stand it and ran away. Finally, he extended his hands to his Mongolian compatriots.
God is angry and people are resentful!
Therefore, Zhabu Zhaqing predicted that as long as he was caught by the Independent Column, even if the soldiers did not kill him, the local herdsmen would skin him and make it into a thangka.
"Order brothers, all mount your horses and break out to the north!"
Zhabu Zhaqing wrapped the gold, silver and jewelry he had collected over the years in a piece of cotton cloth, wrapped it around himself and tied it up tightly.
Then he took a look at the Mongolian woman lying on the bed, and rushed out with a saber in one hand and a box gun in the other!
The common people in the city have been harmed by them, and the Japanese devils and puppet Mongolian troops account for more than half of the people in the city.
The Japanese soldiers who had been following the pseudo-Mongolian army for a long time and enjoying delicious food and fish seemed to have gradually lost their fighting spirit. They also rode on their short Japanese horses, ready to break out at any time.
"Baga, charge north immediately!"
"Hayi!"
At Zhabu Zhaqing's command, more than 2,000 fast horses divided into three routes: left, middle and right as soon as they left the city and rushed towards the encirclement of the independent column.
As luck would have it, the person guarding the north gate was none other than Sun Desheng, commander of the 104th Armored Division of the Second Army of the First Group Army.
Ever since Sun Desheng got the tank, he has never had the pleasure of riding a war horse again.
"Brothers, we have quite a few cavalry here. Since ancient times, cavalry have been the nemesis of infantry. Once their sabers are unsheathed, they will smash our faces!
But they forgot that we are armored infantry and tank soldiers!
Panzer Division! Charge! "
Sun Desheng led the Tiger tanks and Type 5 tanks and advanced forward with a distance of ten meters between each tank.
The tank guns were loaded with high-explosive bombs and continued to fire at the cavalry of the pseudo-Mongolian army.
Every time a cannonball hit the ground, it would knock over three or four war horses.
This was not enough, the machine guns on the tanks also began to fire wildly at the cavalry.
"Damn it, that loser is shooting at the horse? He can't control the shells, and he can't control the bullets either? Raise the muzzle of the gun and shoot the enemy on horseback!"
At this time, five mortars on the low city wall also began to fire at the tank cluster.
"What about tickling? Blast the enemy's wall for me!"
A moment later, more than a dozen artillery shells destroyed the mortar positions of the puppet Mongolian army and more than twenty puppet soldiers.
At this time, Zhabu Zhaqing was mixed in the crowd, preparing to escape from the right wing.
He was lucky as he managed to follow three fast horses and squeeze out from the gap between the tanks.
However, he could dodge the tanks, but he could not dodge the heavy machine gun position prepared for him by Sun Desheng.
There is a saying: Ever since the invention of the Maxim machine gun, nomadic peoples have become good at singing and dancing.
Although this statement is biased, for the cavalry charging in an organized manner under machine guns, this is an act of suicide.
The advantage of cavalry lies in their mobility and speed, not in using their bodies to fight machine guns.
But Zhabu Zhaqing and his Puppet Mongolian Army's Eighth Division had no more choices. If they wanted to break out of Wuchuan, they could only force their way out.
Zhang Dabiao had long realized that in order to completely wipe out the pseudo-Mongolian cavalry, he could only adopt an encirclement tactics. Otherwise, as long as they let their fast horses onto the grassland, he would have no choice but to cry while looking at the horses' butts!
So, the 104th Armored Division used tanks, armored vehicles and machine guns to form an encirclement, or a hunt.
Zhabu Zhaqing was turning around in the encirclement like a headless fly. Wherever he went, there were either machine guns or armored vehicles. In short, there was nowhere to escape.
Under the firepower of the 104th Armored Division, Zhabu Zhaqing's Puppet Mongolian Army's Eighth Division gradually disappeared on the grassland.
"Small encirclement, the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment enter the city, and the armored infantry regiment surrounds the remaining cavalry!"
