Chapter 238 Encirclement and Reinforcements
Receiving a request for help from the Guards Cavalry Division, the newly appointed commander of the 'Dalenevchensk' major general 'Berenevsky' was taken aback. To be able to besiege a cavalry division, the number of opponents is not more than 20,000, or even more! And judging from the content of the arrogant 'Skovanovich's request for help, it is clear that they are in crisis, and it is difficult to stand out, or they will not return to the camp to wait for reinforcements and give up the advantage of cavalry mobility.
"This cavalry is elite, and there is no room for error!"
'Berenevsky' said, and ordered: "Telegraph all cavalry regiments, except for those at the fork in the road, and the other four regiments rush to help!" The telegram ordered the 56th Regiment in Izbesk and the 43rd Regiment in front of him to assemble together, without waiting for the 76th and 31st regiments of Darenevchensk', to rush to the aid first, and the 76th and 31st regiments followed!! ”
Following his order, four cavalry regiments quickly assembled, armed with some Depp machine guns, and rushed to the rescue.
The 56th Regiment in Izbesk, only fifteen kilometers from the 43rd Regiment, gathered together after more than half an hour, and rushed towards the position where the Guards Cavalry Division was trapped.
The 76th and 31st regiments of Dalenevchensk's were more than 20 kilometers behind, which was less than an hour's journey, front and rear, and the 76th and 31st regiments carried more than the establishment of Depp, in order to solve the shortcomings of no artillery in terms of firepower.
On the hill, several pairs of eyes stared at the two cavalry groups that had gathered together, and saw them march in four columns side by side, rushing wildly towards the besieged place halfway up the snow-thin mountainside, and one of them quietly returned to the hidden snow kiln deep in the snow of the mountain, and with it, the message flew into the cold sky.
"Huh? Don't have a rush to help? The two regiments have come together?! ”
Meng Zhaocheng took the telegram and pondered it for a while, and ordered loudly: "Let the second brigade retreat." Get out of the way of the ambush site, remove the tripwire, move the triphorse back to the rear of the 1st Brigade for five kilometers, and control it manually!! ”
"A brigade enlarges its pockets, and the encirclement gives up a distance of five hundred meters!! The three brigades stood still and waited for two regiments in Dalenevchensk! ”
With the command. At this time, Meng Zhaocheng did not dare to send a message to give an order except for receiving the message, although he was not worried about the other party deciphering it, but the other party might judge that there were ambushes based on the frequent messages exchanged.
The cavalry of Izbesk joined up with another cavalry at eight o'clock in the morning, and they were less than 50 kilometers from the place where they were trapped, for a war horse that could run thirty kilometers away in the snow. It can be reached in up to two hours.
They went all the way unimpeded, and went straight to the trapped place along the thin snow, few shrubs, and gentle slopes that Cui Yong had surveyed.
This road was not designed by Dong Ku and the others as they guessed, but had been trampled out of the avenue by the cavalry. With a width of twenty or thirty meters, the snow has frozen hard, and the snow is already thin, which is more conducive to the running of war horses.
Ran wild for two hours. They didn't get into a little trouble, and. When they went up to the hill, they could hear the faint sound of artillery in front of them, and they were only a few kilometers away from the trapped place!
"Move fast! Gun loaded! Assemble at Yamashita!! ”
With one shout after another, there was a sound of chirping in the horse team, and then the horse team slowly moving up the mountain suddenly accelerated. Whistling and rushing down.
A horse team of seven or eight thousand people, even if it is a four-way column, still has to stretch out two or three kilometers away, and such a marching team is not conducive to attacking, so. It is very necessary to assemble at the front.
From the moment they descended the hill, they got into the pockets that had been propped up a long time ago. And the assembly is also the design plan that Meng Zhaocheng prepared for the first galloping team. If they want to charge, they have to assemble, and then the group charges to help.
As the last war horse rushed down the hillside, halfway up the mountain, seven or eight thousand war horses gathered into a phalanx, ready to charge.
As the horse team left the top of the mountain, a figure on the back slope of the mountain a few hundred meters away ran quickly, stepping on the snow more than half a meter deep and quickly closing the circle, a sniper rifle poked out of the muzzle, and Depp stood on the snow, and then, one by one, the figure went down the hillside, through the cover of the trees, quickly descended to the position of the tripping horse, pulled the rope that was vacant for dozens of meters, and after a few minutes, withdrew to the top of the mountain.
The cavalry six or seven hundred meters ahead did not know the movement behind Lu Dao, they were gathering, and then let the horses rest slightly, ready to charge.
Five minutes later, at the sound of an order, the phalanx slowly moved, and an outpost sped up to speed, and the large army slowly accelerated away from the assembly area.
The outpost was five or six hundred meters ahead, and accelerated forward halfway up the hill to find the way for the large army.
Just when the head horse was galloping, suddenly, the horse's hooves caught a hazel wood across the road, and with, a few meters away in front of the snow suddenly flew up from the ground, without waiting for the horses and cavalry to react to what was going on, the galloping war horse suddenly swooped forward, rolled, grabbed a large piece of snow mist, and threw the cavalry out of the distance. ,
The horse stumbles, which is the most dangerous in the gallop of the war horse, not only the horse may be disabled, but also the person will be broken, or simply fall to death.
The horses that stumbled and the cavalry above were lucky, and they would not be injured, because, with them, the figures and horses that turned over one by one, the back of the horse, the rolling sugar gourd, and the stacks of arhats, crushed them under them, and the injuries were gone, and they died, which was certain.
The sudden change made the horse team immediately chaotic, the war horse screamed in pain, the rider behind tightly tightened the war horse, and in the sound of Herod, the snow and fog were kicked up, and in front of the tumbling figure, Kankan stopped. The team of more than 100 people stopped tightly for less than forty, not because they were not good at their skills, but at the moment when the head horse stumbled, and within more than 30 meters behind him, the bark war horse almost lost its hooves at the same time.
The chaos in front was seen by the herd of horses behind, who slowed down and tried to figure out what was going on in front first.
But at this moment, on the top of the hillside, a fiery red ball of light rushed in, and from the side, poofed into the body of a foot soldier, and the sparks flickered, lifting him off his horse.
Before the cavalry of this phalanx could react, the popping bullets burrowed into the body, and the sound of bursting the head suddenly floated, and the blood mist flew, red and white splashed, and the first to bear the brunt were the commanders and foot soldiers in the team.
"Ambush!!"
Among the trees, the phalanx was in chaos, shouting, and the horse pistols were slamming towards the top of the mountain, and then, I don't know who shouted, charge!!
Under the inertial thinking, the front of the panicked horses suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the outpost position that was still rolling and struggling on the ground.
The puff of blood flew densely with the sound of the running horses' hooves, and one by one the figures were thrown off the horse's back by the galloping war horse, hit the trunk of the tree, and stepped under the horse's hooves.
The war horses flew like flying, unstoppably rushing forward, and those blocked outposts also had to urge the war horses to accelerate at this moment, trying to synchronize with the rolling torrent to avoid being trampled under the hooves.
But the moment they crossed the place where the outpost fell, the front hooves of the horses were caught in the ropes under the snow, and one by one they rolled in front of the air, neighing, turning over beautifully, and the horses' heads turned around, and fell heavily on the snow and tree trunks.
As one by one the horses fell, in the chaos, the momentum of the forward rush was immediately contained.
"Rushing to the top of the mountain!!"
Seeing the trap in front of me, I don't know how far the road is laid, and I don't know who is shouting in the noisy discussion. So, the crowded group of horses turned around one after another on the periphery and slowly rushed to the top of the hill. There, only three or four hundred meters away from them.
However, as they slowly accelerated, the bullets flew more densely, accompanied by the thumping of gunshots, no longer muffled before, and the bullets pierced.
A figure fell, and a war horse became an empty horse.
"Ula!!"
The Russian cavalry burst out with a shocking roar as the figures continued to fall off their horses, and the carbines were inserted one after another, and the saber flashed with dazzling light, whistling, and rushed to the top of the mountain several hundred meters. As long as they go to the top of the mountain and charge horizontally along the top of the mountain, their enemies will not be able to stop the iron hooves, nor the sabers, nor their anger.
However, the idea was good, but the truth was cruel, when their speed increased, and they were only one or two hundred meters away from the summit of the mountain, the ladder of the war horse was once again trapped, and one by one the horses lost their front hooves and fell to the ground.
The charge was immediately contained again.
However, the Soviet Russian soldiers did not retreat this time, they continued to reverse, and their companions continued to fall off their horses, still roaring wildly, brandishing their sabers, stepping on the bodies of their companions, and sprinting to the last 200 meters.
Da Da ......
The sudden sound of machine guns shattered their illusions, and a large number of horses fell into the blood mist.
The dense barrage was crocheted into a wall of steel, holding them back from their charge.
The thumping gunfire then intensified, and no one hesitated to shoot a horse, whether it was a horse or a person, and the trigger was pulled on the shadow.
"Get down!!"
In the confusion, the horses suddenly left the strangulation field, and then took the lead and galloped down the mountain. As long as the long hillside needs to be accelerated, then the war horse can quickly escape from here.
Where do they know the Tao, below is their hell. The snow there is more than a meter and a half deep, and as long as you enter the bottom of the eastern slope and flee again, there is no door.
This side successfully intercepted the first Yun Ajun. Ten kilometers away, the arrival of prey has also been seen on another position. However, there will not be concentrated annihilation like here, and there will be a long march to strangle the cavalry.
The second reinforcement was advancing steadily, and they could not hear the gunfire ten kilometers away, so the sky was turned upside down in front, and they did not know it, and they were steadily entering the ambush line, like a long snake, slowly burrowing into the trap (to be continued......
