In the era of hot weapons, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiments is often not as good as the armored troops of . However, during the Anti-Japanese War , the Japanese troops with strong mobility, is most afraid of the cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army. They are afraid that they will run away in scattered places when they hear it. So what exactly did this cavalry regiment do? Why were the Japanese army so scared? followers, let’s continue to talk!
8 Route Army Cavalry Regiment
First of all, let’s learn about the cavalry regiment in the Hebei Central Cavalry Regiment. The cavalry combat team actually existed from ancient times to the present. Many people should still be at the oldest stage. They rode tall horses, waved big swords and spears, or carried rifles, or they were carrying rifles . In short, it looks a bit clumsy, but it is a very bloody army. But in fact, the later cavalry troops can already be equipped with machine gun and mortars. This is not because the big swords and spears are gone, and in order to adapt to the current scene, their biggest role is not to fight, but more importantly, it is to move quickly. You can simply understand that this horse is a truck-like transportation tool.
As long as you reach the combat location, the soldiers can hide their horses and move them as a whole to attack the enemy. After the raid is successful, they will continue to evacuate at the fastest speed.
This is how the Hebei-China Cavalry Regiment exists. At first, the cavalry general Ma Renxing did not follow the Red Army troops, but later Ma Renxing realized that the Kuomintang troops were not enough to bear the heavy responsibility, and surrendered without resistance made him unbearable. So he smashed the government and was demoted, so he came to the National Cavalry Regiment. was also at that time when he came into contact with the Communist Party and was very satisfied with the fighting philosophy and style of the Red Army . So Ma Renxing decided to join the Communist Party. After the successful uprising of , he brought his own troops, which was later adapted from the Hebei-China Cavalry Regiment, to the Red Army troops.

When I first arrived at the Red Army, the cavalry regiment of had more than 1,300 horses and their equipment was very superior. In the entire Red Army team, it was already considered an elite army with excellent equipment.
Although they are still a little clumsy in front of mobile troops, Ma Renxing did not give up any opportunity to learn and grow, so that the troops can ensure high mobility , especially learned a lot of tricks to turn into pieces into pieces. Under his control, the cavalry regiment is particularly efficient, and they fight quickly and retreat quickly, with high mobility and strong combat capabilities. For example, the famous Hundred Regiments battle . In the ambush and railway battles, the Hebei-Central Cavalry regiment played a considerable value!
Of course, the most important thing is the threat to the Japanese army by the Hebei-Central Cavalry Regiment.
In 1942, the Japanese army occupied the eighth special zone of Hebei Central in in , and at that time, the Hebei Central Cavalry Regiment was in the first special zone, with more than 100 kilometers apart in the two places. To be honest, no one could have imagined that just to fight a war, the Hebei Central Cavalry Regiment could cross hundreds of kilometers and take specifically for them. Therefore, the Japanese had never worried about this. Unexpectedly, the Hebei Central Cavalry Regiment was ready to go, and all six companies were dispatched without a single person. Within the scheduled time, they all arrived near the Anping county town.
A long journey of secret battles, the Red Army soldiers secretly handed the horses to the fellow villagers they contacted, and everyone touched them in at night.

Eighth Route Army Cavalry Regiment
On the way to come, they have already found the situation in Anping County. How to arrange the firepower and which part is the breakthrough point has long been thought about. The direction to the south of Anping County is the focus of Japanese firepower, because this place is convenient for the Japanese army to communicate with other troops. As long as the Japanese reinforcements come, is the only entrance, so this place is very important . Since this is the case, the strongest firepower is arranged here. The fourth company of the cavalry regiment is placed here, with only two tasks: siege the city and blocking the enemy's retreat. If possible, it is necessary to prevent the arrival of reinforcements. It can be said that the mission of the fourth company is heavy and stressful.
has explained the subsequent issues clearly, so we are ready to attack the city. The weakest area in Anping County should be the East Gate, so the Cavalry Regiment uses a company's troops as a commando to break through the East Gate.
. After the remaining two companies quickly crossed the moat, they immediately helped the assault troops to fight. At that time, it was already late at night, and it happened to be when the enemy was sleeping soundly. Under normal circumstances, no one would have thought of siege the city at this time. , so the enemy stationed at the city gate dozed off and played cards, and no one was guarding the city gate seriously.
It is best for the enemy to relax their vigilance, so that our soldiers can assault as soon as possible. In order to minimize movement and silence, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment use flying hooks and can quietly climb the city wall with a rope. There is no need to clean up the defenders, and they will solve all one foot.
Immediately afterwards, our soldiers quickly opened the city gate and let the main force rush in. At this time, the Japanese rushed over from the city.

But it was too late, the city gates were wide open, and our troops rushed in and fought first. Although the Japanese came with guns, they were all confused. 's clothes were scattered and their weapons and equipment were messy. Some people even brought some sticks to fight. It didn't look like going to fight, but instead they were going to die.
The ending is definitely unquestionable. The Japanese were beaten to pieces, and the Japanese troops in the Anping area were completely wiped out. Three hours later, the battle was completely over. In addition to annihilated many Japanese troops, our troops also captured many Japanese and puppet troops. More importantly, in the Japanese prison, more than 500 anti-Japanese people were imprisoned, and they were finally rescued by the cavalry regiment, and countless materials were seized.
There are countless examples of this. When the senior Japanese army saw that the cavalry regiment was so fierce, they quickly strengthened several surrounding strongholds, but they were of no use.
Because the cavalry regiment fought all the way, they found that it would be useless to attack by themselves. They directly pulled all the artillery from the area of Hebei and bombed the city wall. The Japanese were also confused. They thought that the Chinese army was backward, but didn't expect that the artillery was so powerful?

Don’t be surprised, anyway, these cannons have been seized, and using Japanese cannons to hit the Japanese, it’s exciting to fight!
The Japanese troops who were hit hard did not dare to face the Kung-head at all, and could only hide behind a corner of the city wall, waiting for the artillery fire to stop.
At this time, the cavalry regiment had already started charging. In order not to be seriously injured by the enemy's guns and cannons, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment came up with a way to cover the quilt on the table. They hid behind the table and rushed forward. They rushed all the way to the enemy's bunkers, smashing their fortifications with explosives, and then the large army could rush in. There is no need to describe the results of Germany after
, because the Hebei-Central Cavalry once again won perfectly, captured dozens of prisoners, seized large-scale supplies, and directly broke the enemy's plan to sweep. Moreover, in the subsequent battles, the Hebei-Central Cavalry Regiment repeatedly destroyed the enemy's transportation routes, causing great losses to the Japanese troops!
is just such a heroic force, which was eventually destroyed in the long river of history and merged with the later Hebei Cavalry Regiment. The main reason was to divert the local people and be surrounded and suppressed by the main force of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army's sweeping plan was slightly upside down, it was never interrupted, especially Okamura Yasuji firmly demanded that the Red Army troops in central Hebei Province be wiped out.
So they dispatched a large number of aircraft, cannons and armored vehicles. In order to reduce casualties and to avoid the harm of the people, the Hebei-Central Cavalry Regiment used their maneuverability to help transfer the people and supplies in the Hebei-Central Cavalry Regiment. However, they did not expect that in this last transfer, the people and supplies were sent away, but they encountered the oncoming Japanese troops. After the fierce battle between the two sides, the Hebei-Central Cavalry Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and in the end there was only a team of less than 400 people left.
subsequently had to be enrolled in the southern cavalry regiment due to insufficient number of people.
Although the number of this army is no longer there, their spirit will last forever and the masses will never forget that in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan, such a army once existed! Interested friends remember to leave a message in the comment area, see you next time!
