Chapter 44: The Charging Cavalry
The enemy's regiment commander thought about it and said: "This is a way, but it doesn't have to be changed to infantry, I looked carefully when I charged the second time, and I have rushed to a place more than 100 meters away from the communist army, this time we use three hundred war horses to take the lead, and after the war horses clean the mines of the communist army, the remaining cavalry will follow behind, and the infantry will follow behind the cavalry, as long as we rush to the communist army, we will have the final say, and strive to take down these hundreds of communist troops in one go, we also brought two heavy machine guns, When you charge later, swing one on each side to cover the charge. ”
All the officers praised the commander in unison for his cleverness, and as the enemy had finished preparing three hundred horses and rushed over, the enemy's cavalry regiment seemed to be out of the way, and when they released the horses, they stabbed each horse in the back of the buttocks with bayonets.
The cavalry's feelings for horses are incomprehensible to ordinary people, and their feelings for their own horses are sometimes the same as people's, and this time they put the horse out and stabbed the horse's buttocks with a bayonet, which is also a fight, and they want to use more than 300 war horses to clean the mines and then wash the position of the eight roads.
Hundreds of stabbed horses frantically rushed towards the position of the special service company, and the dust raised by the horses flew high and rushed like a puff of yellow smoke.
Li Yong saw the empty saddle on the horse running from a distance through the binoculars, and knew that the enemy wanted to use the war horse to ride the mine, the enemy's regiment commander was not in vain, and the people were not stupid, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to kill all the war horses, but the speed of the war horse was very fast, and when there was no one on the horse, the speed was even faster.
Li Yong saw that the rate of fire of the rifle could not kill the war horse, and he hurriedly let the light machine gun shoot, and when the light machine gun of the special service company knocked down all the war horses, the war horse had almost wiped out the grenades buried by the special service company, and the place where the front war horse fell was not far from the big ditch covered with a thin layer of soil, this time it was a cold sweat that shocked Li Yong, the biggest secret of the spy company is this big trench, if it is discovered, it will be broken.
Seeing this, the enemy's regimental commander laughed and shouted: "Have you seen it, the communist mines are useless, and their machine gun ammunition is running out, now follow me." ”
After shouting, he led the whole regiment of officers and soldiers to charge in a group, this guy is also a ruthless stubble, he wants to kill all the spy companies at once, and orders the whole regiment to carry out a group charge, according to the idea of this enemy regiment commander, as long as he can rush to the position of this small group of communist troops, it will be the world of cavalry.
Seven or eight hundred cavalrymen rushed towards the position of the spy company with sabers and shouts, and hundreds of soldiers without war horses followed behind the cavalry and also rushed up.
The heavy machine guns covering the charge also rang out, and a dense stream of bullets fired at the positions of the special service company, and the bullets popped on the ground around the soldiers.
Li Yong saw that the dense heavy machine gun bullets were pouring towards the position, and under the suppression of the enemy's heavy machine guns, the shooting speed of the soldiers dropped significantly, and some soldiers were wounded, so he immediately ran along the communication trench to the position of the artillery platoon, and shouted at Gao Xiang: "Gao Xiang, are you sure that you will get rid of the enemy's heavy machine guns?" ”
Gao Xiang looked at the battle head in front of him in the trench and said without replying: "Target, four hundred meters ahead, the enemy's heavy machine gun position, two guns are responsible for one one, and one test shot." ”
As Gao Xiang's command sounded, the two shots were fired, and the enemy's heavy machine gun paused for a moment to continue firing, and Gao Xiang then shouted: "Correct the trajectory, three shots per cannon, rapid fire." ”
With the sound of cannon discharge, I saw two enemy heavy machine guns and the corpses of several soldiers flying high into the air, and the enemy's heavy machine gun fire was immediately gone.
Li Yong ran along the traffic trench to the second trench and came to Wei Gang's side, at this time Wei Gang had already thrown away the rifle in his hand, and was holding the grip of a Mark Zinc heavy machine gun, his body gently swinging back and forth, and he was still swearing and shouting something.
Li Yong saw that the enemy's war horses had almost exhausted the mines, and the rifle fire could not suppress the enemy's charge, and the cavalry of the brigade had rushed to a place more than 50 meters away from the big ditch, less than 150 meters away from the second trench, and less than 100 meters away from the first trench, which was the most effective distance for light and heavy machine gun fire, and shouted at Wei Gang: "Wei Gang, fire." ”
With Li Yong's order, I saw that the heavy machine gun in Wei Gang's hand suddenly spewed out a tongue of fire more than a foot long, and the ferocious firepower of the four Makqin set up a fire net in front of the position of the special service company, and the forty light machine guns in the two trenches also roared, and the enemy's charging cavalry was like a black wave that hit a hard reef.
The commander of the enemy was stunned by the fire that broke out in an instant from the spy company, and finally knew why the brothers of the fourth regiment who were eliminated were so wolf, and the firepower of the communist army was too fierce, but now even if you want to withdraw, you can't retreat, as long as the cavalry rushes up, you can't turn back, damn, Lao Tzu and the communist army are fighting.
Thinking of this, he shouted in the back: "***, whoever runs now Lao Tzu broke him, he will rush up to me, the guard company, if anyone runs, I will be killed." ”
Anyone who has ever ridden a horse knows that the trenches in the plains are very difficult to find, which is why the cavalry must observe the terrain well, during the First World War, there was a famous Battle of Waterloo, the French genius commander Napoleon, at the most critical time of the battle used the last elite force in his hands, 5,000 Guards cavalry launched the final attack on the enemy.
These 5,000 Guards cavalry were all trained by Napoleon himself, not only strong and abnormal, but also loyal to Napoleon, who used his trump card, was also very confident in his 5,000 Guards cavalry, he didn't expect any power to stop his iron cavalry.
However, it was precisely because of Napoleon's overconfidence that he neglected the topographical survey of the battlefield, and there was a naturally formed deep ditch in front of his cavalry charge, and as a result, the five thousand guards cavalry who could not contain their feet were all buried in this way, and Napoleon also lost the entire battle and his own life for this, and was captured by his opponent and exiled, and later poisoned.
Now the enemy soldiers are shooting under the supervision of the guard company and rushing forward desperately, but when they rush to the position of the special service company and find that there is a big ditch, it is too late, and the horses can no longer stop, and the company with the horses in groups falls in, trampling on each other in the ditch, killing and wounding countless people, and the place where the men and horses are concentrated almost fills up the big ditch, and the characteristic of the cavalry charge is that it is difficult to stop, even if you see the heavy casualties in front, you have to continue to move forward, not to mention that there is a supervision team behind.
It was no wonder that these hundreds of communist troops dared to fight against one of our cavalry regiments, the key place was here, but now it was too late to know, and the troops had no way to stop.
