Chapter 995: Blocking (3)
Most of the soldiers of the 6th Cavalry Brigade on the blocking position were recruits who had just been trained for a year and had not participated in actual combat. Looking at the thousands of Mongolian Tatar cavalry on the opposite side, like a tide, overwhelmingly pouring over, they were all frightened and turned pale.
Zhao Lianhe felt that his throat and eyes were hot, his palms were full of sweat, and the double-barreled hunting gun in his hand was a little unable to hold it. The formation of the Tartars on the opposite side was really terrifying, and the ground was trembling slightly.
"Steady...... Steady...... Replace with two shotgun% rounds...... Pay attention to the password and shoot again......"
A group of experienced backbone non-commissioned officers and company and platoon cadres kept running back and forth on the position, and shouted behind the soldiers, which really played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.
Zhao Guan, the brigade commander of the Sixth Cavalry Brigade, was also a cadre from the old teaching team and belonged to the old foundation of the Far Eastern Army's teaching team.
With binoculars in hand, he stood on a machine-gun carriage, turned to the messenger behind him and shouted: "Order the machine-gun positions of each battalion to wait for my order, only one machine-gun is allowed to fire, and the Tartars must cease fire as soon as they retreat." ”
The distance of a few hundred meters was fleeting, and thousands of Mongol Tartars bent their bows and arrows on their horses, ready to cover the blocking positions with cavalry. But as soon as they were within two hundred meters, the three machine guns began to roar.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
The machine-gun carriage was camouflaged, and only bursts of gunfire could be heard. Three water-cooled heavy machine guns formed a crossfire, like three long whips of death, harvesting the lives of the Mongol cavalry back and forth.
The Tartars who rushed to the front, a person fell off the horse on his back, and was instantly stepped on by the dense horse team behind, all of them were full of horror, and they didn't know what spell the Far Eastern Army on the opposite side had used.
Immediately after that, double-barreled hunting guns and forty-millimeter grenade launchers from the blocking positions were joined one after another.
One by one, the shotgun shells spilled out pieces of steel balls, sweeping the Mongolian Tartars that rushed to the front one after another. The power of a 40mm dart bullet is even more perverted. Countless steel nails are a large piece, beating the Mongolian Tartars to a thousand holes.
But the thousands of Tartar cavalry could be regarded as fighting, and despite the ferocious firepower of the Far Eastern Army, they still rushed forward and pounced on the blocking position. Many of the Mongol Tartars also frantically opened their bows and arrows to shoot at the opposite side.
But they were overwhelmed by the ferocious firepower of the Far Eastern Army on the blocking position, and they couldn't raise their heads, and they originally fired accurately on horseback. Now there is no way to play at all, so I can only shoot an arrow in a hurry.
Zhao Guan, the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Brigade, saw that the Tartars were about to rush up, and hurriedly shouted: "All machine guns fire, press down the Tartars......"
The officers and men on a dozen machine-gun carriages had long been waiting impatiently. After receiving the order, he instantly pulled the trigger, and the Tartar cavalry, who had just rushed to a few dozen meters in front of the blocking position, was suddenly hit by a rain of bullets from cross-firing, and the people were knocked on their backs. The whole horse team seemed to stand still, and the Tatar cavalry, who occasionally rushed out of the rain of bullets, was also named by the riflemen one by one, and fell to the front of the position.
In the face of such a dense rain of bullets, the Mongolian Tartar horse team could no longer hold on, and they didn't know who ran first, anyway, they all turned their horses' heads and fled back desperately.
"Stop shooting...... Stop shooting ......"
With the Mongolian Tartar horse team receding like a tide. The firepower of the Far Eastern Army also gradually subsided. The front of the blocking position was piled with the corpses of Mongol Tartars and war horses, and the earth was covered with blood. It's a dazzling red.
Zhao Lianhe looked at the Mongolian Tartar that was gradually moving away, he was wearing a rough dress, and an arrow shot from the opposite side just now hit the top of his head, which was blocked by the steel helmet, but it also frightened him to the core.
He picked up a few bullets. This is because of nervousness just now, several reloads were hurriedly dropped to the ground. Originally, I had already practiced very skillfully during training, but when I went to the battlefield, my movements were deformed, and I made frequent mistakes.
Brigade commander Zhao Guan held a telescope and observed the Mongolian Tatars opposite. I was also anxious. This battle is not easy to fight, and if it is ruthless, it may scare the Tartars away, but if it is not fought hard, if the Mongolian Tartar cavalry rushes to the position, it will be very lively.
Just now, the Tartars were about to rush to a place dozens of meters away from the position, which shocked him into a cold sweat, but fortunately, at the last moment, more than a dozen machine guns also fired, or they had to point out something big.
After the battle just now, now the Tartar on the opposite side is already a little chaotic, Zhao Guan is really afraid of startling the Tartar, and then he turns around and runs, then he still blocks a fart.
He picked up the microphone and shouted, "Lao Liu, how are you over there?" ”
"We just fought a Tartar charge...... Brigade commander, it can't go on like this, the Tartars on the other side seem to be a little messy, don't break up in a hurry, it will be troublesome. ”
"Then what do you say, do you want the Tartars to rush up and we fight hand-to-hand with tens of thousands of cavalry?"
Zhao Guan put down the microphone, thought for a moment, and then shouted into the microphone: "The Sixth Brigade calls the Falcon...... The Sixth Brigade called the Falcon...... Please answer ...... when you hear it."
"Falcon receives ...... Please ......"
Hearing the airship's reply, Zhao Guan hurriedly said, "When will the other airships in the nearby airspace arrive?" ”
"The fastest three airships will arrive in twenty minutes, and the others may arrive in half an hour......"
Zhao Guan was suddenly excited when he heard this, he put down the microphone, picked up the telescope and observed the mountain pass in the distance. A bold idea suddenly sprung up in my heart.
If the 6th Cavalry Brigade cooperated closely with the airship troops, it would seal the two mountain passes behind the Mongol Tatars and strive to annihilate the tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry. Although this idea is relatively bold, it can definitely be realized if it is done well.
Thinking of this, Zhao Guan picked up the microphone again and talked to the political commissar of another blocking position, and then studied with the airship floating in the air for a long time, and finally made up his mind to implement this bold plan.
At this time, the Mongol rout on the opposite side was already a little chaotic, and the cavalry of the various divisions were constantly arguing there, some wanted to rush again, and some wanted to leave with people, making a lot of chaos.
At this time, another routed army also sent people to rush here, and it turned out that another place to cross the river was also blocked. It also made the Mongol rout here even more anxious, if they left here, it would be difficult to cross the river again.
The pursuers of the Far Eastern Army behind them could catch up at any time, and once tens of thousands of defeated troops were trapped here, none of them would survive.
In the end, the general with the 10,000-strong army of the Shetu Khan finally overwhelmed the public opinion, and was determined to gather all the cavalry to charge again one last time, after all, the thousands of cavalry just now were only a few dozen meters away, although a thousand people died, but if they held on for a while, they might be able to break through the opponent's defense line. If the more than 20,000 cavalry gathered here attack again, as long as they attack the position, no matter how powerful the opponent's firearms are, they will not be able to stop it.
