Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since ancient times, cavalry can be regarded as a sharp blade that can penetrate into the heart of the enemy. Sometimes, a small team of cavalry can turn the tide of the battlefield.  In the era of muzzle-loading muskets, when fighting in Europe, they would first line up and march within 100 meters of each other, and then fire one or two rounds of muskets. Then it was time for the cavalry to come out to harvest. The side with the larger number of cavalry on the battlefield  , often winning quickly.

    Usually, some people¡¯s fierce fists are compared to unloaded cannonballs, but they are not compared to unloaded bullets, because cannonballs are much heavier than bullets, and their kinetic energy and range are not comparable to bullets.

    "Xiao" heard the whistle of the artillery shells, and Mota, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, knew that his whereabouts had been discovered by the Chinese airship in the sky. He shouted: "Ula!! My Cossack warriors! Use your scimitars,  Cut off the heads of the Chinese people in front of you! Use your spears to pierce the heads of the Chinese people! Ula!!!"

    ¡°Ula!!¡±

    ¡°Ula!!¡±

    Two thousand cavalrymen shouted "Ula!!" and began to rush towards the artillery position. Even though the distance was still several kilometers away, the people on the position could feel the trembling of the earth.  Every exploding shrapnel can knock down several cavalrymen nearby, but everyone completely ignores the exploding shells falling around them, and completely ignores the fallen bodies of their companions. Charge!  Rush forward regardless of the cost!

    "Adjust the range! 3000 meters!" the artillery commander shouted.  "Shrapnel! Five rounds of rapid fire! Prepare! Fire!!"

    Responsible for defending the left side is Song Qing's Wu Yi division.  There are more than 18,000 people in total, and the cavalry regiment of 2,000 people is constantly running in circles within the square formation.  The previously captured Russian 47mm guns and 57mm guns came into play at this time. Because Chen Yu's artillery did not know much about the performance of these small-caliber guns, these guns were given to Song Qing's department, and the artillery in the rear opened fire.  Finally, these small-caliber artillery also roared. These guns mainly fired armor-piercing projectiles.  These shells have little internal charge and are silent, often failing to explode.  However, these cannonballs can often reach two or three cavalry in one shot, and have a relatively long range.

    "Prepare the volley! Adjust the sight to 800 meters! Adjust to 400 meters after two rounds of shooting! Free fire after three rounds of shooting from 400 meters!! The machine gun will strafe the enemy after the first salvo! Don't be stingy with bullets!!  "Most of these commanders were transferred from the First Division because there were too few commanders in the Wuyi Division.

    Looking at the enemy getting closer and closer.  Everyone's palms were sweating, but the military orders were like mountains. This was something everyone kept in mind after receiving training in Haicheng and Shengjing.

    Zhou Xianzhang, Li Guohua, Xin Delin and others were promoted after the battle in Chenghuanyi and are now battalion commanders. They had studied the tactics of the European Army at the Tianjin Armed Forces Academy, so they were opposed to the infantry operations formulated by Qin Ge.  The method is faster to learn.  As an infantryman, the most feared thing is undoubtedly the cavalry, but now he actually leads a group of men to block a large group of cavalry on the plains. It was unimaginable before.  But now, hey, my own battalion has three-stop heavy machine guns, and the cavalry are just living targets that move faster!

    "Rumble" The sound of the enemy's horses galloping made it difficult for the soldiers to hear clearly what the commander said.  Seeing the cavalry brigade approaching the rifle range, commanders from all over the position took out their guns and shouted: "Get ready!!"

    "Bang!" As the sound of gunshots reached the ears, the soldiers pulled the triggers. More than 15,000 people were divided into five rows. In an instant, 15,000 bullets were fired at the 1,770 people who had escaped the shells and rushed towards them.  More than a hundred Cossacks flew away.

    "Click, click, click, click." The heavy machine gun fired at its maximum rate of fire, and the machine gunner roared and fired at the foreign Japanese in front.

    In addition to the captured small-caliber guns, they are still firing.  The howitzers on the artillery position had been turned off, and the artillerymen took out their rifles to guard against the enemy's cavalry rushing in.

    After two rounds of firing, the soldiers quickly adjusted their sights and fired the next round.  Mota could not have imagined that the enemy's firepower would be so fierce. More than 2,000 of his people rushed to the enemy's formation and only less than 500 remained!

    "Ah" Mota roared angrily and rushed into the enemy camp. His horse hit and killed a Chinese soldier. Mota raised his machete and chopped off the heads of the two Chinese people around him to vent his anger.

    "Pah! Pah! Pah!" Zhang Zuolin fired three shots at the Cossack cavalry who rushed into the phalanx on his galloping horse, knocking him off his horse, and then continued to circle in the phalanx.

    Motaxeng never imagined that his opponent's cavalry would actually use guns as weapons in such a close combat. He fell to the ground, feeling the pain of three gunshot wounds on his body. His horse was still guarding him at this time, looking at Ai  The figure of the horse gradually blurred, and Mota closed his eyes. Chief Zalit would soon avenge them.

    Wang Wu held a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, and galloped on his horse, constantly harvesting the lives of the Russian cavalry that broke into the battle formation.Because Qin Ge asked the recruits to suppress bandits for training, the escort agency could not continue to operate. The escort agents relied on bandits to make a living. Now that there were no bandits, Wang Wu led the escort agency people to join the army.  In fact, he could live without joining the army and convert the escort agency into a martial arts gym. However, Wang Wu hated all invaders, so he led his men to join the army and became a cavalryman.  In the previous battle, the broadsword in his hand chopped off the heads of eight Russian foreign devils. After the battle, he excitedly said to the people around him: "My broadsword, Wang Wu, could only be regarded as a mere name in vain! Now this broadsword has opened  Foreign meat! I drank ghost blood! From now on, I, the Fifth King, will no longer live up to my reputation as the Great Sword King!"

    Now at this time, Wang Wu has killed three more Russian cavalry, and the **** has also killed one. Wang Wu laughed and said: "Cheer! Cheer! Hahaha!"

    Soon, all the remaining Cossack cavalry fell, and the neighing of injured and surviving horses could be heard both inside and outside the formation.

    "How are our casualties?" Li Niu never asked about the enemy's casualties.

    ¡°More than a hundred people have been sacrificed, and the specific number is still being counted,¡± the adjutant said.

    "The roster of sacrificed soldiers must be kept well!" For those who sacrificed their lives for the country, pensions, etc. must be handed over to their families in strict accordance with the regulations set by Qin Ge. If the soldiers are heartbroken, who will fight for the country?

    "The enemy's cavalry only has more than two thousand, right?" Zhang Danian asked.

    "Including those outside the formation, there should be about a regiment of troops." The adjutant said.

    "Well, that is to say, there are still more than 8,000 Russian cavalry that have not been dispatched!" Zhang Danian said.

    At this time, a telegraph operator hurriedly ran over. Seeing that the commander had even forgotten to report, he said: "Airship No. 3 urgent telegram! Our army found a large number of cavalry approaching me under the cover of grass at twelve o'clock. At present, we are already far away from our army."  It¡¯s less than four thousand meters away!¡±

    "What?!" Li Niu said.

    "Creating in the east and attacking in the west! This Russian can also do this!" Zhang Danian said.

    "This Russian is not stupid, either!" He Bugong said.

    "Hmph! No matter how many times he comes, he will never come back!" Li Niu clenched his fist and said.  (To be continued)
