We present an intranuclear cascade (INC) model which includes the dynamics of the cascade particles and uses in-medium NN elastic cross sections. Our model is still based on the impulse approximation and does not have the complexity of other sophisticated nuclear models. Nevertheless, its results of angle-energy distributions of emitted nucleons in continuum are in good agreement with experimental data for nucleon induced reactions from low intermediate energy to high energy, between 14 MeV and 1.6 GeV, and for light to heavy target nuclei. Comparisons with results of Bertini's INC model and of a previous version of our INC model show the clear contribution of the combined effects of better dynamics and the in-medium NN cross sections. From our results, we conclude that our INC model effectively includes the preequilibrium emission.
