Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the end, the one who stood up to shoulder the heavy burden to relieve the siege of the regiment captain Yonezawa Kogoro was actually the regiment's attached captain Tomoyumi Yamashita. This guy had been running back and forth for nearly 80 kilometers all morning. Now he seemed to have regained his breath again. When he saw Iida Sad  The two guys, Gu and Nishio Hisao, were shirking each other and refusing to take on the task of luring the enemy. As a reserve opponent, the captain of the 12th Cavalry Battalion, Koiso Kuniaki, had a face full of bitterness and hatred and couldn't hold back a happy word for a long time  ¡­

    Yamashita Fengwen finally couldn't help but stepped forward and stood up. He patted his chest and said, "Your Excellency, captain, gentlemen, time waits for us not to wait. If we keep wrangling like this, the opportunity will be delayed. If it doesn't work, I will do it, but it doesn't require the strength of a brigade."  , it is enough for me to lead a cavalry squadron. The Iida brigade has been exhausted after running for 160 miles all morning. The Nishio brigade has suffered serious losses just now, and the Xiaoji brigade is the pinnacle of this regiment. It cannot be moved lightly. I think it has been since childhood.  Please allocate a cavalry squadron to me from your place, and I will take my own life to the east to lure the enemy"

    "Hey Yamashita-kun is commendable for his bravery. You are indeed the talent that General Utsunomiya has chosen. Yamashita-kun, please ride my Chai Feng. Your two mounts have been carrying your 90 kilograms all morning."  I¡¯m about to lose my ride" Nishio Hisao, the captain of the 11th Cavalry Brigade, was the first to jump out to encourage Yamashita Fengfumi. For this reason, he did not hesitate to send his beloved mount Chai Feng. This guy knew that Yamashita was jealous of his horse.  The mount is not a day or two anymore.

    "Attached to the regiment, I will give you the 45th Cavalry Squadron, the most elite squadron in our brigade, with one man and two horses. I won't let you suffer any loss" Koiso Kuniaki of the 12th Cavalry Battalion's eyes were a little red at this time. Just now  The Nishio Brigade had no power to fight back in the face of the blazing firepower of the enemy's two armored trains. This guy really didn't dare to volunteer to lure the enemy by patting his chest.

    As for Iida Sadagu, his 10th Cavalry Brigade followed Yamashita Fengfumi up to attack the small northwest town and captured it in one fell swoop. Although they were short of time and did not have time to collect more horses and vehicles, and the supplies they seized were not too much, but 100  Many large trucks carried fresh melons, fruits, meat, and grains to bring back this credit, but this credit cannot be erased

    Iida couldn¡¯t understand why Captain Yamashita was like an iron man and still had to take on such a dangerous task of ¡°luring the enemy¡±?  Just now, the Nishio Brigade was attacked by two armored trains and almost couldn't make it back. Now the Yamashita Regiment only brings a cavalry squadron to lure the enemy?  It's a miracle that this person can come back

    "Yamashita-kun Isn't it too much to bring only one cavalry squadron The German armored trains carry more than one battalion of infantry. Alas if my brigade really doesn't need to recuperate and regain its strength  , Gritting my teeth, I will also take this brigade to go with you" Iida took Yamashita's arm a little reluctantly.

    "It doesn't matter I, Yamashita, and the 4th Cavalry Regiment have a long-lasting military career. The glory of the Imperial Army is still waiting for us to carry forward. Without further delay, the enemy-baiting Rangers must set off as soon as possible!" Yamashita Fengwen said with determination on his face.  Major Iida patted his shoulder, turned to the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yonezawa Kogoro, nodded and said, "Commander of the regiment, give the order without further ado! It is enough for me to lead a cavalry squadron, and the main force of the regiment will be ready."  Get ready, when I move the enemy away from the crossroads, you must quickly cross the railway! If necessary, I will go to the south and blow up the railway bridge"

    "SogaYamashita-kun, please do everything!" Captain Yonezawa Kogoro tightly held the hand of his 33-year-old captain

    Unlike Rommel's improvised German motorized company, Yamashita commanded an elite cavalry squadron from the 12th Battalion of the 4th Cavalry Regiment.  In addition to making Major's green horse Chasing the Wind, he also unceremoniously took away Major Koiso Kuniaki's backup mount Daikoku. The 45th Cavalry Squadron of the 12th Cavalry Brigade has three cavalry squads of 70 people.

    Among the cavalry regiments belonging to the three divisions of the Japanese 3rd Army, one cavalry regiment has three cavalry brigades and one cavalry artillery brigade. Each cavalry brigade has four cavalry squadrons, and one cavalry squadron has three cavalry squadrons.  Cavalry squad, a squad is 70 people!  It turns out that a squadron of Japanese cavalry can only manage two cavalry squads, and the number of troops inside and outside is only one-third less. Therefore, the Japanese cavalry in the coalition is much stronger and more substantial than in Japan.

    The cavalry brigade of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, plus the brigade directly under the brigade headquarters, each brigade has about 850 troops. The total of the three cavalry brigade has 2550 people. In addition, the cavalry artillery brigade of the regiment has 3 artillery squadrons 4  75mm Type 41 mountain guns and 8 75mm Type 38 field guns. As a member of the 4-unit packhorse division, the artillery brigade of the 4th Yonezawa Cavalry Regiment plus logistics has a headcount of 999 people and 720 horses.  .

    Coupled with the reconnaissance cavalry squadron directly under the wing, the total strength of Yonezawa Kogoro's 4th Cavalry Regiment is around 4,000. The nearly 300 cavalrymen of the 4th Regiment who were attrited in the Battle of Ufa are already in the Allied Southwest Front.  After establishment, all reserves will be used to make up for it.

    ?Each cavalry squad of the 4th Japanese Cavalry Regiment is equipped with two coalition platoon-affiliated 60mm mortars and three Browning squad machine guns, and each cavalry squadron is equipped with an air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun.  Each brigade also has an 8-gun 81mm caliber mortar squad.

    Yamashita Fengwen's regiment could have commanded the cavalry reconnaissance squadron directly under the regiment headquarters to go out to lure the enemy. Unfortunately, the regiment's reconnaissance cavalry squadron, as the vanguard of the regiment, and the Nishio Brigade encountered two German armored train detachments on the railway line.  The flanking attack suffered heavy casualties, so Yamashita Tomofumi's final choice was to allocate a fully-manned cavalry squadron from Koiso Kuniaki's 12th Cavalry Battalion to follow him on the mission of luring the enemy

    The 45th Cavalry Squadron includes: a 19-man squadron: squadron leader, executive officer, 3 sergeants, 4 health workers, officer's orderly, bugler, 8 signalmen, 3 cavalry squads of 70 people, these 70 people  Infantry squads, each squad consists of a machine gun group with three Chinese-made 762 Browning squad light machine guns, a mortar group, two Chinese-made M60 platoon mortars and three rifle groups.  Each light machine gun is equipped with four commanders, shooters, and two assistant shooters carrying ammunition. Each mortar is equipped with two people, and each rifle team is equipped with 18 people.
