Guyuan County, in the middle of a rolling hill. At noon, the silence of the area was broken by the sudden sound of earth-shattering gunfire, and the gunfire became more and more intense, as if more and more troops were participating in the battle.

Villagers living in this area are quickly leaving their homes to escape the possibility of war. After all, the frequent turmoil in the Ganning area in recent years has greatly increased the vigilance of the people. So, after hearing the sound of gunfire so close to him, the villages around the battlefield immediately ran away. Neither of the warring parties is interested in dealing with the fleeing civilians, after all, this is a battle about their own future, and no one will waste energy to deal with those details.

"Commander, news has come from the front that the vanguard of our cavalry has come into contact with the enemy. But the enemy was cunning, fought cautiously, and was never fooled. Moreover, the enemy seems to be very clear about the location of our ambush, and the chosen battlefield is on the periphery of our ambush circle. If this continues, our ambushed infantry army will become an ornament! Liu Jiaqiang, deputy political commissar of the military region, said worriedly. Cui Xiaolong, the political commissar of the Western Military Region, went to deal with the secret negotiations of the Western Army, so he sent his deputy Liu Jiaqiang north to assist Zhang Xiaoshan in commanding the battle.

"Don't worry, now that the war has begun, I have expected this situation. After all, although the scale of the cavalry of our Western Military Region is not small, in the final analysis, it is still dominated by infantry troops, and the infantry army is the best way to ambush cavalry. After all, no one is stupid. Zhang Xiaoshan sighed. But in his heart, he paid more attention to his old opponent Ma Qi, and being able to integrate the rabble of the Ma family coalition army to such a short period of time shows Ma Qi's ability. So Zhang Xiaoshan put away his contempt and changed his mind to the so-called attention.

"But Commander, our cavalry is not superior, and the Ma family army is an old cavalry unit, and the combat experience is not comparable to our cavalry. I'm afraid that this kind of hard work will cost us a lot. Liu Jiaqiang looked at the cavalry troops that had begun to glue together with a telescope, and said worriedly.

"Strengthen! You're underestimating our cavalry! I don't know how strong the cavalry of the Ma family army is, but our cavalry is definitely not weak. Although now the cavalry in the world has gone into decline. However, the young marshal said that in the next ten years, the cavalry will still be an important armed force on the battlefield in China, and our cavalry will accept the method of training Cossack cavalry by Lao Maozi, and our soldiers are all the cavalry units of the White Tiger Army that were captured that year, and these men have all grown up on horseback. Although he is not a pure Mongol, he also has a few flavors of Mongolian cavalry. In addition, after joining the northeast, both the living conditions and the level of training have been greatly improved, and now the integration of the political commissar system has enabled the cavalry unit to grow from a new army. As for the cavalry, there has never been a big result, this is not to blame the cavalry for not working hard, this has something to do with the habits of our commanders, we are not from the infantry, and the means of starting also rely on the infantry, plus with the heavy machine gun such a weapon of war, the heart of the cavalry, the troops raised with heavy money, have a contempt for the cavalry. Think about it, during this time, how could the cavalry fight the enemy happily? Basically, every time it was used as cover for the infantry, as a decoy. Therefore, we may all ignore the actual combat effectiveness of cavalry. And today is an opportunity, an opportunity for the cavalry to fully demonstrate its combat effectiveness. Zhang Xiaoshan said. In the first major battle of the Northeast Cavalry, he fought against the Ma Jiajun, who was richer than himself in terms of strength and combat experience, and Zhang Xiaoshan said that he was not worried that it was false. But in the collision of cavalry with such high mobility, it is difficult for infantry to participate in the entry without the help of terrain. This leaves everyone waiting for the results.

"Commander, then we can only watch like this?"

"Of course not! The chief of staff handed over this battle to us in the hope that we can fight a beautiful battle and play the prestige of the Northeast, and what is a beautiful battle, that is, to completely annihilate this Ma family army. Hard spelling is the next volume. What's more, we don't have no hole cards. "Zhang Xiaoshan has never been someone who likes to wait, he is more of an advocate of attack. It is believed that victory is achieved by aggressive and continuous attack. Of course, this kind of attack of his is different from a strong attack, he is a planned attack.

"Pass my order, order a regiment of heavy machine guns to move forward, and block the retreat of the Ma Jiajun for me at all costs. The 2nd Heavy Machine Gun Regiment advanced rapidly, occupied the highest hill opposite, and arranged an attack position. The 5th, 6th, and 7th Infantry Regiments are divided into these three places, and no matter which direction the Ma Jiajun finally breaks through, you must block them to the death. A ruthless look appeared on Zhang Xiaoshan's face. He wanted the cavalry troops to entangle the Ma Jiajun and buy time for the encirclement of the infantry. The hill where the 2nd Heavy Machine Gun Regiment was going was the highest point in the area. The surrounding area is also the flattest place, which is the place where Zhang Xiaoshan chose to bury the bones of this Ma Jiajun. He's going to do whatever it takes to force the enemy into the area, and then rely on the heavy machine-gun positions lurking on the hill to finish them out. He knew that his layout would not be easy to achieve, after all, the enemy had more than 10,000 people, all of whom were highly mobile cavalry, and there were not many troops in all directions of the encirclement. At most, there are only one and a half regiments, less than 5,000 people. With a small number of heavy machine guns, it was extremely difficult to stop the decisive breakthrough of tens of thousands of cavalry. The reason why Zhang Xiaoshan laid out this way was to pin his hopes on the Second Cavalry Brigade that followed him north.

With Zhang Xiaoshan's order, the infantry who were originally in ambush moved quickly. Anyway, now that the attention of both sides is attracted by the strangled cavalry, Zhang Xiaoshan can calmly lay out.

In the battlefield, cavalry, as the world's ace arm for thousands of years, although it has shown a twilight color under modern technology, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it is not unreasonable that the cavalry can be brilliant for so many years. Especially thinking about the confrontation of tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him, just the shouting of killing can make people tremble. The cavalry showed the most primitive collisions. The cavalry guns had been put away, and the cavalry had opted for cold weapons, and they held their sabers and waved them desperately for their honor. In the cavalry charge, they can only advance, not retreat, and the name of the person is associated with the war horse under the crotch, if the war horse is wounded, then no matter how brave the soldier is, he will be drowned by the torrent of collision, and the final result will either be killed by the enemy, or trampled into flesh by the galloping horses' hooves. Therefore, the cavalry is the most imposing, and once the momentum is taken, no matter how powerful the cavalry is, it will not be able to exert strong combat effectiveness.

"Puff puff ......" is the sound of a saber slashing through a person's neck. Blood flowers surge, blooming the last color of life.

…… The first wave of charges ended, leaving a trail of severed limbs in the battle, some cut off by sabers, but more corpses crushed by horses. The interweaving of human and horse, blood mixed with dirt, has long been impossible to distinguish its true face.

But even with this tragedy, the war continued, and the cavalry warriors who rushed into the flood turned their horses, raised their sabers again, and charged at the enemy with a fearless spirit.

In the distance, Ma Qi's fists were clenched tightly. As the commander of the Ma family's army, of course he would not rush to kill, but his younger brother Ma Lin led more than 2,000 people from the Ning Navy to the front line. There were too many people and it was very chaotic, and Ma Qi didn't know if his brother was still alive. Anything can happen on the battlefield when the cavalry is in a clash of arms. Even if the younger brother has always been brave, who can guarantee that the brave will be able to save his life in the chaos.

"Brother Ma Qi, how do I think the enemy's cavalry combat effectiveness is stronger than that of our Ma family's army." A commander of the Ma family army who was following Ma Qi said as if he had seen a ghost.

"What did you say?" Ma Qi was in a trance for a moment just now, and he didn't notice the situation on the battlefield.

"In the charge just now, both sides suffered a lot of losses, but our troops are half more than those in the northeast, but judging from the scale of the separation of the two sides just now, our people seem to have lost more." The commander of one side of the Ma family army can maintain the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and there is always some ability, and the Ma family army is a cavalry team, so the commander of the horses has great experience in judging the general size of the cavalry. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to resist hard when they saw the cavalry in the northeast. After all, the cavalry size of the Ma Jiajun is 1.5 times that of the northeast, and victory in the confrontation is almost a certainty. But now looking at the eyes of the few commanders around him, it doesn't seem to be like this. Have you lost your eyes too?

"Not bad! As I saw just now, the Ma Jiajun lost at most 2,000 people, but we lost at least more than 3,000. Brother Ma Qi, how can the cavalry in the Northeast be so strong? "The name of the commander of this Ma family army is Ma Page. His face was a little pale, and he didn't know if it was because of his physical condition or if he was frightened by his own thoughts.

For Ma Page, Ma Qi still knows. Ma Ye's power can only be regarded as the bottom among the horses, but before Ma Ye became independent, he was valued by the top of the Western Army by virtue of his extraordinary eyesight in the Western Army, so Ma Qi believed his words. It cast a shadow over his heart.

The strangulation on the battlefield continued, and Ma Qi's arms were clenched. I am desperate to determine the outcome of the Ma Jiajun and the Northeast Cavalry in this second wave of encounters.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief. Our spies found traces of the Northeast Infantry, they came out of the lurking place, and were running in all directions, and there was a heavy machine gun unit to block the rear of our army. ”

"What!" Zhuma's face changed again.

"What a big appetite, the Northeast wants to swallow us all, and I want to be beautiful. Our Ma Jiajun is not muddy. If you want to swallow us, he Zhang Xiaoshan still lacks such a good tooth! Ma Qi said disdainfully, but the trembling hands in his sleeves betrayed his true thoughts.

"Great Commander, no matter what, we must not be surrounded by the Northeast! The kind of car with heavy machine guns in the Northeast that you talked about last time has not yet appeared. It shows that the hole cards in the Northeast have not yet come out, and once we fall into the encirclement, we will be completely passive. Ma Ye said anxiously, and the other horses nodded in agreement.
