Chapter 953: Eleven Warriors
The most primitive trap of the horse pit caused the Soviet cavalry to suffer a big loss, but after a while, the excited faces of the Wehrmacht soldiers were a little frightened and distorted. The follow-up cavalry of the Soviet army controlled the war horses and stepped on the layers of dead bodies of their comrades in the horse pit, and the Russians did not take the lives of their comrades seriously. Some of the Russian soldiers in the trap were trampled to death by the horses' hooves before they could breathe. They did not die under the fire and bullets of the Chinese, but died under the hooves of their comrades, their brains splashed, white, red, and black carried everywhere by the horses' hooves.
"Tough!" Sun Liechen, the commander of the 29th Division, who put down the binoculars, shook his head in disbelief and said to himself: "it! This old hairy man is so tough! β
Chief of Staff Zou Fen said with a wry smile: "Division, let's send out the tanks, otherwise the brothers won't last long!" β
Sun Liechen walked a few steps left and right, and said: "The first day of the war was like this, he really didn't expect that the Russians didn't even have a little temptation, and they deserved to be the character of Lao Maozi's fire." β
Zou Fen smiled bitterly: "The total number of enemy soldiers is five times that of us, so why bother us to be tempted." β
"it, that's what you said," Sun Liechen grinned, "Okay, on the defensive position of Nancheng, the tanks are attacking!" Let the tanks drive them down the Syr Darya for me! The northern front dispatched armored trains to focus on defense, as long as the enemy did not come up. It's positive...... Lao Maozi doesn't seem to have a main attack, but it's much easier. β
Some of the soldiers in the positions of the second line of defense were a little frightened by the tragic battle, especially on the north and south lines. The brutal practice of the enemy's cavalry, fearless of death, and using their own living comrades as tools to fill the pits, brought a huge psychological shock to the Chinese soldiers.
Fortunately, because it was dark, the squadron did not expose their cowardice, especially the sound of the rumbling tank engine motor added courage to them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 75 guns of the Minjiu tank were powerful. Soviet cavalry were hit by shells, each shell took the lives of three or four Soviet cavalrymen. The appearance of the tank gave many soldiers great confidence, and they firmly believed that this steel monster was far superior to the enemy's horses. Although the number of Min-9 tanks was only 30, the machine guns and artillery on the tanks almost swept the opponent in the face of the enemy cavalry, and the 340th Regiment of the 39th Division, which followed the tank, and the 249th and 252nd Regiments, the counterattack troops of the commander of the 29th Division, were engaged in the counterattack at the same time.
Although the effect of the trap was not so obvious, the Soviet cavalry continued, but the appearance of tanks was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the enemy cavalry. The infantrymen who followed behind the tanks were armed with machine guns, submachine guns, rifles and grenades. The grenade carried out effective killing and wounding of the enemy's cavalry. And the bayonets of the riflemen also harvested the wounded soldiers of the enemy from time to time.
"Boom!" 75-mm shells and machine guns on tanks mercilessly harvested the lives of Soviet cavalry.
The machine gun on the "Da ......" tank was like a sickle, causing the Soviet cavalry to fall one by one.
"Hack it to death for me!" Palmainko shouted, a bullet hit him in the arm, and he fell off his horse in pain. Lucky not to die.
The Soviet cavalry ridiculously brandished their sabers and rushed to the tanks. With a fearless spirit, he succeeded in causing certain difficulties to the tank, and due to the too many casualties of the enemy, the gears of the guide zhì tank pressed against the corpse were sometimes stuck by the bones. The infantrymen who followed behind the tanks had no choice but to poke off the bones with bayonets.
Because of the use of tanks in the defensive battle of the southern front, when facing the enemy's wagon machine guns, it was obviously more calm, and the 75-mm field guns on the tanks "clicked" a shell, directly smashing the enemy's wagon machine guns together with people and vehicles. The Soviets noticed the power of the Chinese tanks, and their cavalry became targets. It became a crushed pig.
Pools of blood flowed from under the tank's gears, mixed with human and horse flesh. The smell of gunsmoke and flesh on the battlefield was choking and pungent.
And in the northern defense zone of the Kyzyl fortress, the Chinese relied on armored trains for defense. In order to prevent excessive casualties among the soldiers, Zheng Diansheng, commander of the 82nd Brigade in charge of the defense of the northern front, even ordered to abandon the second line of positions, retreat 150 meters back, board the train and shoot at the steel wagons.
What the Soviet cavalry did not expect was that the enemy actually parked the train carriage here, and many cavalrymen crashed into the train wagon because they ran too fast.
"Call me!" Zheng Diansheng, the commander of the 82nd Brigade, stared at his little eyes and shouted, "Light the fire for me, the fire left in front." Also pay attention to the two wings, don't stop the heavy machine guns on both wings, and send them back for me. β
Soldiers of the 82 Brigade opened the windows of the guΓ² carriages in the carriages, or climbed directly on the roof of the train cars to shoot at the enemy cavalry. In the dark night, the 17th Soviet Cavalry Division was constantly killed and wounded, several Russians were not hit because their horses fell, they rushed up with horse pistols, they crawled forward and finally approached the train, and then jumped rope on the roof of the train by night and hacked to death with sabers.
"The Russians have climbed on the train!" Someone shouted loudly.
"Follow me!" The commander of the first company of the third battalion of the 248th Regiment shouted, picked up the thick-backed knife of the Northwest Swordsman and jumped over, and several soldiers from the Northern Shaanxi Swordsman also raised their long knives and shouted, "Thief, your mother" and killed the landlord with the landlord. They were on the roof of the train with several Russian cavalrymen, and the landlord shouted loudly and slashed off a Russian with a saber and arm.
"Ahh The Russians fell to the south side of the train, where several Chinese soldiers were transporting ammunition, but when they saw a Russian with a severed arm falling, they immediately threw down the ammunition box and pulled out a three-edged stab and rushed over, and several bayonets pierced the Russian wounded together.
Blood spurted from the hapless Russian soldier and sprinkled all over the body of the Chinese soldier, while several more Russians fell, and the machete of the Northern Shaanxi swordsman on the roof of the car outperformed the Russian sabre. The soldiers under the car rushed forward with a strange scream, and the bayonets stabbed them one by one, and the Russians were all eliminated.
"Here's a machine gun." The landlord shouted, and suddenly a bullet hit him in the chest, and he fell off the train. The soldiers under the car thought that the Russians had fallen into the middle and ran over to wave their bayonets, but when they saw that it was their company commander, they shouted: "Company commander! Captain! β
The landlord opened his eyes, vomited blood, and scolded: "Thief, the internal organs are broken...... Sue sΓΉ Ba Hucheng, now he is the company commander......" After saying that, he fell headlong and died.
When Ba Hucheng arrived, he shouted with red eyes, and shouted to his subordinates: "Come out to me is a submachine gunner, jump out with me, ride their horses, and charge back with me, do you dare?" β
"Dare!"
Bahu said to Li Dongxue, the second platoon leader: "Dongzi, if I die, you will be the fucking boss here." β
"Don't be stupid!" Li Dongxue grabbed his arm and shouted.
"Thief, your mother, don't stop me, I'll avenge my brother today." Ba Hucheng threw off Li Dongxue with one arm, crossed the train with a submachine gun, and led a few Russian Don hippos from the battlefield, and ten soldiers with submachine guns also ran out with him and rode on the war horse. Ba Hucheng shouted to a few brothers: "You are worth it in this life, kill him with your brothers, come and he will be seven in and seven out!" β
"Kill!" Eleven Chinese soldiers, armed with submachine guns, rode the Russians' horses, rushed into the darkness, and rushed into the Russian cavalry.
Da Da Da ...... The sound of submachine guns kept ringing, Ba Hucheng led ten brothers to charge repeatedly with submachine guns, and the machine guns strafed in the Soviet and Russian cavalry, and soon all the ammunition they carried was gone, Ba Hucheng pulled out the saber hanging on the right side of the war horse and shouted: "Kill back!" Ten soldiers immediately followed him and rushed back to the train. The other cavalry of the Soviet army, mistaking them for their own people, gave their backs to them without reservation, only to be cut off directly and effortlessly by these Chinese.
When they returned to the train, Ba Hucheng and the others were so tired that they collapsed, and they sat on the ground, unable to hold the saber in their hands because of the blood years. He stood up and counted it, and laughed, all eleven people were there, he didn't expect to be so lucky, and everyone suddenly laughed.
The battle lasted from night until eight o'clock in the morning, and according to the information received by the heralds of the various units, this Chinese unit was indeed not easy to mess with, and the total casualties of the two cavalry divisions of 17,000 men reached more than 50 percent. Blyukher, as a general who was born in the cavalry command tube, naturally knew what the reason was. The Russians hit a dozen nails in front of the Kyzyl fortress, so he ordered a temporary retreat and prepared to send some Asian-faced spies into the fortress to cause trouble.
War requires all-round preparation, and Blyukhel's arrogance has brought him great losses.
After dawn on the 17th, with the support of more intense artillery fire from the Chinese, the Chinese National Defense Forces suddenly dispatched two brigades to counterattack. At this time, the Soviet army had lost its sharpness, and the battlefield was littered with corpses, but the Chinese were full of energy, and they shouted and killed to recapture the first two defensive positions in one fell swoop.
And with the assistance of fortress artillery and artillery groups, the squadron regained the initiative on the battlefield. Especially on the southern line of the fortress near the Syr Darya River, when the Soviet army faced the Chinese tanks, the cavalry could not play any role at all, and the Soviet infantry and cavalry had to withdraw to the headquarters. The battlefield returned to the level it had been before the battle, and both sides were recuperating from their respective artillery ranges, staring at each other. After recapturing the defensive position, the Chinese ** people immediately took out the sapper shovel and dug out the soil that had been temporarily filled in the front-line trenches last night, and this work was done until noon.
