Chapter 436: Attack

Looking at Houjin's various transfers at the moment, Zachdan frowned slightly.

The expansion of the cavalry unit of the Huaxia Army only began in the past two years, and he, who had been serving in the General Staff Department, was actually the first time to command so many cavalry in one battle.

In general, in terms of actual combat experience, he is much worse than these generals in Houjin.

However, fortunately, the confrontation drills conducted by the Huaxia Army in training can reduce the gap in combat experience to the greatest extent.

Similar to the transfer method that Houjin is now using, it has also appeared several times in confrontation drills.

Zachdan, who has served in the General Staff for many years, came up with several ways in an instant, but these countermeasures also have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they need to be considered a little.

Soon, Zachdan made up his mind, and he rode to the side of the cavalry battalion commander, pointed to the rear gold tartar cavalry that was covering the infantry on the western flank, and gave orders to the cavalry camp.

"I will now put under your command all the cavalry of any formation, and let your cavalry take turns to attack, every two companies in a batch, but you will have to keep one company in reserve.

The enemy's cavalry covering the flanks could not hide too far because of their duties, and when the enemy's infantry array approached a distance of about 300 meters from our side, the time and space they could use to dodge was very short.

You must remember that I need you at that point in time to start charging immediately. ”

The cavalry battalion commander carefully wrote down the order, and then asked in detail, "Commander-in-chief, what if the cavalry west of Houjin really dodged and didn't engage our army?" ”

"If the enemy dodges your onslaught, then it is just right, you can take the opportunity to attack the flank position of the Houjin infantry array. Let the cavalrymen harass with sabers and pistols.

If the battle is going well, or if the timing is right, you can also directly rush into the advance array and disrupt the enemy's formation, which is the best if you can disturb the enemy's morale.

If the Houjin cavalry does not choose to avoid it, but instead directly hedges against you, then you will rush all the way to the bottom of the opposite hill after a round of confrontation.

After the impact, immediately disengage in our direction, do not fall in love with the volley, flee back as soon as possible, and the cavalry of the other groups will be responsible for receiving you.

If the Houjin cavalry in other directions tries to entangle with you, the cavalry formation that is on standby in the right position will immediately flank the Tartars.

After the cavalry of the first formation returned to the ranks, they changed formations and once again attacked the flank positions of the Golden Tartars. The cycle goes on and on until a new order is given. ”

The cavalry battalion commander fully understood Zachdan's tactics at this time, and immediately agreed happily.

He has also been very anxious by the wandering and harassment of the Houjin Tartar cavalry, and the cavalry under his command is a new unit that has only been expanded this year.

Although his cavalry battalion has veteran officers and veteran non-commissioned officers as the foundation, the training of the recruits is still very immature, and the charge at a distance of 300 meters can only be regarded as just qualified.

In other combat methods such as dogfights, guerrillas, and solo fights, those recruits were definitely no match for the Tartar cavalry.

This is also the weakness of this kind of rapid group charge cavalry, or modern cavalry compared with traditional cavalry, which cannot be easily erased.

The commander of the cavalry battalion personally ran in front of the line of cavalry and conveyed the order of Zakdan to the commanders of the companies.

The three companies of cavalry on the far left of the array, following the order, crossed the line, this is the first formation, which will be led by the cavalry battalion commander himself.

The second formation, which consisted of the reconnaissance battalion, the cavalry company of the battalion directly under its command, and the fourth company of the cavalry battalion, was commanded by the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion.

During this period, Zachdan himself had already ridden his horse back to the rearmost position of the cavalry queue, and transferred a special platoon of the cavalry battalion lined up here.

He personally led the men of this special service platoon forward and joined the cavalry array, and the soldiers divided them into two groups and placed them between the gaps in the cavalry queue, giving the cavalry who were on cover duty as a long-range fire output unit.

Of course, they also have another important task, which is to cover the reorganization of our cavalry after they have been routed by the enemy.

According to Zachdan's idea, it would be best to have more firepower output units as a last insurance, but the number of special service platoons is already scarce, and there are only three special service platoons in the whole brigade.

Now, the pressure on the infantry array is also very huge, and Zachdan can't always go and transfer the special platoon of the mounted infantry battalion, so he can only mobilize this special platoon of the cavalry battalion to assist in the defense.

When he was done, Zachdan went to the other side, took the remaining cavalry company of the first formation, and left them at the place where the cavalry and infantry met.

After such an arrangement, I finally felt a little relieved.

Zachdan calmed down and looked at the front of the Golden Tartars on the opposite side, the number of enemy infantry was about 2,000 people, and the maximum number would not exceed 3,000 people.

Behind the infantry array, there are the eternal overseers of the Houjin, which are responsible for overseeing the battle. At the critical moment, Bayala and the white armor soldiers, who were also the general offensive force. These men were all cavalry, numbering about less than 1,000 people.

The total number of the Houjin army was slightly superior, about twice the number of the Huaxia army.

According to the intelligence summary of all parties, Zachdan believes that the main force of Niu Lu, to which Duoduo belongs, is basically here.

By the river, after the infantry array of the Huaxia Army followed the Jin Army to open the width of the battlefield, dozens of soldiers of the armed reconnaissance team who were not too familiar with the operations of the large corps came to the brigade headquarters behind the infantry array and assumed the duties of the reserve.

In addition, there is also a cavalry infantry battalion, which has been strengthened to manage the auxiliary troops responsible for the management of war horses, which have also been temporarily transferred and used as a reserve here.

Of course, war horses are now an extremely precious strategic resource, and the Huaxia Army has not yet had the luxury of abandoning war horses, so those who came over were only half of the auxiliary soldiers.

The other half of the auxiliaries were left on the other side of the river to watch over the horses because of security concerns.

Although they are called auxiliaries, in the military, according to the regulations, all soldiers are required to undergo recruit training and training in combat skills.

Therefore, although their combat power is not as good as that of veterans, under the constraints of strict military discipline, these auxiliaries also have the same combat effectiveness as new recruits, and they can also play a certain role.
