Chapter 1107: Cavalry Battalion Raid

It was only one o'clock in the afternoon when Grisescu ordered a retreat. He certainly had his own reasons for retreating, but the retreat was very orderly, and his subordinates behaved as if they were retreating.

The artillery regiment was a cannon that the officers and men had to provide limited support for, and after the enemy's rocket artillery bombardment, two field guns became scattered parts, and the other three were damaged by wheels and could not be repaired for a while.

The artillerymen could only take the remaining fifteen, and they struggled to bring the forked recoil cushions together, and then pushed them to evacuate. This work requires the involvement of a large number of soldiers, and many more soldiers are responsible for carrying ammunition.

Grisescu immediately ignored the soldiers who threw away the bullets and rifles, which had to be managed. This time he lost the battle with the 284th Division suspected of being a Soviet army, and he could throw away a lot of baggage and let the army evacuate lightly, but the field artillery could be pulled away and must be pulled away! This group of enemies will always be hard to bite, and he is willing to accept the sin of ineffective combat, and he cannot afford to be infamous for abandoning heavy equipment to harass the enemy.

The evacuation of the artillery regiment and the baggage units dragged on, and the vast number of soldiers could no longer line up neatly. A large number of infantry did not care about their wagons, and many threw away useless loads, such as a large amount of spare ammunition. The soldier just wants to retreat eastward lightly, and the equipment can be replenished if it is thrown away, and the life is gone! They knew that if they continued some distance east, they would come across Ukrainian villages, and that they would be completely safe as long as they got there.

But what kind of physical strength does it take to run wild in the wilderness of half a meter of barren grass? At least a large number of baggage wagons were greatly assisted, and the Mio frantically whipped the horses, and only gained limited acceleration.

It must be said that Grisescu's order to retreat was largely based on the exaggerated descriptions of the heralds of the Dmitry Regiment under his command, as well as the pessimistic narrative of his commander. However, the heralds only evacuated from the battlefield, and it took an hour to run to the division headquarters that had been transferred.

On the battlefield, an hour is too long, and sometimes, the dramatic change of fate is only those five minutes!

After the Romanian army was attacked by Soviet rocket artillery, 2,700 Soviet troops in ambush nine kilometers north of the battlefield began to move southward bravely. Anatoly led all his warriors and ran wildly at the junction of the forest and the wilderness. The cavalry battalion that accompanied it did not rush forward, because Little Volmansky did not want to break into the enemy line and become the target of public criticism.

Yang Mingzhi claimed in the order that the rear garrison of the Luo army was empty, and Anatoly was completely convinced of this situation and did not have the slightest doubt.

These Soviet soldiers, especially the female soldiers, half of the 1,800 female soldiers of the 3rd Regiment actually went to the battlefield for the first time. This first battle was not trivial, they received an order from the regimental commander to install spears on their rifles and charge south!

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our army to seize the enemy's logistics forces and artillery, and we will cooperate with the main force inside and outside to completely annihilate the enemy!"

Anatoly's simple mobilization easily boosted morale to the maximum, and the women began their first assault of the Great Patriotic War with great vigour.

Little Volmansky and his more than 300 cavalrymen, according to the study of the congress in April, Salinchkin nevertheless approved the cavalry to be equipped with cavalry guns.

This so-called riding spear is a wooden stick inserted into the spearhead, and the total length is actually only two meters. For the real Soviet cavalry, the rider usually had a glowing Cossack scimitar, but Volmansky could not afford to equip the soldiers with this, and the cavalry gun became their only offensive cold weapon.

Just like the cavalry of the Red Army during the Russian Civil War, Volmansky the Younger and his soldiers also carried their rifles behind their backs, as well as bolt-action rifles and even submachine guns. They all wore Budyonny-style military caps, and large five-pointed stars cut out of red cloth were sewn into the hats.

They are not at all like the army of the forties, and in them it is as if time has returned to 1920!

At first, the mighty force was advancing in a neat formation, with cavalry opening the way. They were moving at a high speed of more than six kilometers per hour, and when they saw the black smoke rising from the distance in the distance, everyone knew that there was a battlefield ahead!

At this stage, a short military meeting is held to lay out the next battle, which is the best.

However, little Volmansky is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, this is the first time he has participated in a battle, what fear of death in battle does not exist at all, he can be said to be sincere to the country, in fact, more succumb to the natural desire to fight.

He is like a shark that smells blood, and like a brown bear that sees its prey. He immediately speared horizontally, and the spearhead of the mounted spear tied with red cloth shone brightly in the scorching sun!

Little Volmansky did not care about Anatoly at all, and he yelled at his men: "Comrades! It's time to make a contribution to the country! We are cavalry! Now rush over and destroy them all! Ulla! ”

For a while, the war horses neighed, the soldiers roared, and a horse team of more than 300 people launched a brazen attack on the Luo army artillery regiment and baggage troops that were in the retreating stage.

These troops, who were essentially lightly armed cavalry, could still maintain a high speed of maneuver in the half-meter-high grassy wilderness, and they killed very quickly, and by the time the retreating Luo soldiers noticed these people, it was already too late!

The chaotic Luo army immediately opened fire on these cavalrymen, and the power of the bullets was indeed great, and because of the panic, only a handful of them really hit the target.

Little Womanski suffered a certain loss, and he knew that he could not retreat, not to mention that he had really come to the enemy camp and witnessed a large-scale evacuation.

"Comrades! The enemy is retreating! We can't let them go! Destroy them as much as you can, and take down both the wagon and the horses! ”

The cavalry was not only stupid with cold weapons, but most of the cavalry raised their Mosin Nagan horse rifles and fired at the enemy before poking at them with their rifles. There are even soldiers, holding ** sand in one hand, and they are probably shooting wildly at the target.

These shots of the cavalry did not kill many enemies, and the significance of this was that their appearance became the catalyst for the enemy's rout! Luo Jun, who still had a little order at the beginning, finally lost that bit of order.

The Luo army also had more than 1,000 horses and more than 200 wagons retreating eastward. By the Soviet army so disrupted, those carriage royals had to go more crazy to draw the horses, if the horses ran unsatisfactory, they did not hesitate to get off the carriage, skillfully untied the reins, and rode directly on the horses to retreat eastward.

If the Luo army could organize a simple resistance, even if the infantry lined up to form an ancient line formation and fired a row of guns at the enemy cavalry, little Volmansky would be defeated and lost! However, these soldiers were actually fighting on their own, and it was inevitable that they would be slaughtered by the cavalry.

Little Volmansky burst into the crowd of Romanians, and their shots were more accurate, and they could even use their rifles to point their spears at the fleeing enemy and pierce them with a spear!

As soon as little Volmansky himself poked one of them, he pulled out his revolver at his waist, thinking about the enemy with his back exposed, and fired!

As the commander of the cavalry battalion, his primary task was to maximize the results of the raid, which could not be measured simply by the number of enemy killed.

The raid of the cavalry battalion led to the capture of a large number of Romanian wagons, and like his uncle, the younger Wormansky had a soft spot for horses. The enemy threw down a large number of tall horses, they were all military horses, and with them it would soon be possible to train larger cavalry units?

Moreover, it has become more and more difficult to continue the pursuit to the east, after all, the cavalry battalion only has more than 300 horsemen, and some of them have been damaged in the battle, the effect of the surprise attack has been achieved, and the remaining pursuit can no longer be achieved.

There are also soldiers firing at the enemy, and even cavalry continuing the pursuit.

Little Volmansky hastened to issue an order: "Everyone immediately stop the pursuit!" Protect the loot! Rescue your wounded comrades and execute all the enemy's wounded soldiers! ”

This order could only be quickly received by some of his subordinates, and those who continued to pursue, seeing that their comrades-in-arms did not follow, had no choice but to withdraw in a huff and go to look for the loot they needed among the various materials thrown by the Luo army!
