Age of Conquest Reborn

After clearing the Soviet sentries on the periphery, Tong Batu commanded four cavalry companies and quickly approached the Soviet army like a violent surge on the ground in the dark night.

There was no special loud noise, but they felt the ground trembling. The sleeping Soviet soldiers finally felt the yiyang. They opened their sleepy eyes and looked over in a daze. What caught their eyes was the rapidly approaching figure.

The expanding black shadow was a string of flying tongues of fire. Then, the deafening burst of gunfire was heard, and the rain of bullets was felt.

When Tong Batu's troops approached the Soviet camp, the four companies divided into four arrows and shot them into the Soviet soldiers together. Although the brigade commander had an order not to use sabers, they were accustomed to slashing and stabbing immediately.

The cavalrymen, while executing the brigade commander's orders, could not give up their inherent habits and creatively used left-hand swords, right-hand guns, or grenades to rush into the Soviet crowd.

The attack came so suddenly and violently that the Soviet soldiers, whose brains were still in a state of confusion, did not understand what was happening at all. They were first beaten by a dense rain of bullets and turned into corpses in their sleep.

Then, another cold blade and the sound of piercing the air fell on the heads of the still living people.

The grassland in the dark night is no longer quiet. It is like being woken up the moment you enter the body. The roar of submachine guns and light machine guns, the "rumbling" explosion of grenades, the echo of horse hoofs trampling through the night, and the "plop" sound of the blade entering the body, are all on the verge of death.

The screams of the dead, the panicked shouts of the Soviet soldiers, and the roars of the soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade were intertwined to form a vivid and bloody picture of a night battle on the grassland.<

The raid was direct and effective. Four cavalry companies of the Tong Batu Brigade, with one assault, completely disrupted the armored brigade headquarters of the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region, as well as the positions of the directly affiliated troops. The vast night suddenly appeared like a ghost.

The Chinese cavalry made the Soviet soldiers not know how many enemies were coming. They only knew that the dense rain of bullets hit their companions around them, and blood spattered all over their heads and faces.

The sound of sabers piercing the air kept ringing, and the Soviet soldiers ran aimlessly. The next moment, they found that their heads had fallen behind their bodies. Grenades were constantly being thrown at armored vehicles and trucks, and there were several loud "bangs".

There was a loud noise. Balls of fire exploded, and as the fire flashed, the death-like figures of Chinese cavalry were everywhere. Their sabers shone with cold light, and their guns spitted out tongues of fire.

Tong Batu pulled the trigger, and the submachine gun sprayed out a tongue of flame. In front of him, several Soviet soldiers spun and fell to the ground. Then, he suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse, which was connected to his heart, rose into the air. The saber in his left hand suddenly

Cut it down, one was about to raise his gun and shoot

Half of the Soviet soldier's head was chopped off, and Lao Gao and Tong Batu and the soldiers yiyang with the splattered blood. They instinctively chose to fight with the left knife and the right gun. Only in this way can they express their hearts.

, the heroic spirit of the Chinese cavalry.

Tong Batu circled his horse's head, followed the armored cars and trucks, and with the burning fire, he saw at a glance that a Soviet officer, protected by several guards, was hiding next to an armored car that had not been blown up, and kept firing

Shooting, several soldiers from his own army were shot down from their horses. Tong Batu was furious. He took the reins and the war horse accelerated, and rushed towards the Soviet officer. When the several guard battalions around him saw it,

Immediately abandon the enemy at hand and pursue them.

The war horse was still galloping, "ta da da!" The submachine gun in Tong Batu's hand fired a burst of bullets. Before several Soviet soldiers fell down, Tong Batu's war horse had already passed by the corpse.

His target was the Soviet officer who had shot several of his soldiers.

This was a typical chaotic battle. The cavalry of the second brigade and the Soviet soldiers were mixed together. In the dark night, the Soviet soldiers who were suddenly hit could not accurately and clearly judge the enemy's situation, even if they climbed into the armored vehicle.

, even when I used the machine gun in the car, I couldn't find the target to shoot. There were messy, shaking and running figures everywhere. A bunch of bullets from the heavy machine gun dropped. There must be Chinese cavalry among those killed, but the most numerous ones were myself.

companion.

When the Soviet machine gunner was hesitating, a grenade with white smoke flew into the armored vehicle cabin. Under his fearful gaze, the grenade suddenly exploded into a ball of blazing white light.

There was a loud "boom" and the armored vehicle suddenly turned into a burning fireball.

Tong Batu's war horse was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Soviet officer. Several of his guards had long been killed by the bullets. Then with the flash of fire, Tong Batu saw the Soviet officer's face.

There were three silver stars hanging on the epaulette, arranged in a triangle. "It's a big fish, at least it's the leader of the group!" Tong Batu thought to himself.

At this moment, the Soviet officer raised his pistol and aimed it at himself, with a desperate and ferocious light flashing in his eyes. Tong Batu smiled ferociously and jerked the reins of the horse. The war horse suddenly stood up, holding his hand.

The sword fell like lightning, first cutting off the Soviet officer's arm holding the pistol, and then briskly slashing across his neck, a blood arrow spurted out, and the light of life in the Soviet officer's eyes instantly

dim down.

Then, with his face facing the ground, he fell down on the grass like a piece of wood. Tong Batu didn't even look back and flew past. He was extremely confident in his sword skills and could clearly feel it.

, the blade had cut through the artery and throat of the Soviet officer, and almost cut off the old Maozi officer's head.

He turned his horse's head and took a look at the chaotic battlefield. Around him, there were soldiers galloping towards him. They resisted the desire to rush into the battle group again. They urged their horses to quickly leave the battlefield and disappear into the darkness.

After riding the horse for more than ten minutes, Tong Batu reined in the horse, looked at the luminous watch, and smiled. The entire raid strictly followed the pre-made combat plan, from the beginning to the end of the battle to leaving the battlefield.

It lasted thirty-five minutes, including fifteen minutes away from the battlefield. This distance was already a safe distance beyond the range of Soviet light and heavy machine guns.

The battlefield is still burning, and under the firelight, the figures of Soviet soldiers are still running in panic. Four company commanders, filled with murderous intent and bloody smell, gathered around Tong Batu, and the reconnaissance company commander Bai Yinbaoli

Captain Gao licked his lips

, suggested: "Brigadier Commander, the Soviet army is still in chaos. I estimate that by this time, they still don't know who gave such a fatal blow. Why don't we return the carbine and expand the results?

It would be a pity not to pick it up when it’s cheap!”

Tong Batu glared at him and said: "You know how to kill without thinking. The reason why we take advantage is the effect of the surprise attack. We are mixed with the Soviet soldiers. Now, if we kill again,

As long as the Soviet soldiers have a few light and heavy machine guns, when we react, we will become a living target. The gains outweigh the losses. We should give up when we see a good outcome. We cannot fight such a losing battle! Once the order is given, the troops will immediately leave the battlefield and chase the main force of the brigade."

It came and went like the wind, and it was a whirlwind that killed people and killed people. The second brigade's raid started quickly and ended quickly, leaving behind burning Soviet armored vehicles and trucks, corpses scattered everywhere, and wounded soldiers constantly wailing.

This fearful confusion lasted until daybreak.

The remaining officers of the armored brigade of the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District, looking at the messy battlefield and the troops with heavy casualties, felt like crying without tears. They hurriedly organized soldiers to rescue the wounded, count the casualties, and bury the bodies. To be honest, they arrived

So far, they can't believe that the Chinese cavalry troops who were almost surrounded in Irkutsk would make a sudden attack. If it weren't for the dozens of corpses of Chinese cavalry left on the battlefield, they would never dare to

Believe it, this is true.

The numbers of casualties and losses were quickly tallied up. All six campsites in the brigade were raided by Chinese cavalry at the same time. More than 1,800 soldiers were killed or injured, and more than 100 armored vehicles and trucks were blown up.

Although the armored brigade did not lose its combat effectiveness, it was severely damaged and lost about one-third of its soldiers and equipment.

The casualties of the Chinese cavalry in the sneak attack made these Soviet officers speechless with palpitations. In six camps, only the bodies of Chinese cavalry were found, less than 60, and more than 40 dead horses. That is to say

, in a surprise attack of more than 20 minutes, the Chinese cavalry killed more than 1,800 Soviet Red Army soldiers and more than 100 armored vehicles and trucks with a casualty ratio of one to thirty.<

When the Soviet officers were still thinking about how to report the losses to the army commander, Major General Sergeyev, a piece of bad news that shocked them even more came. The brigade commander and brigade political commissar, Colonel Nikolay Gorsky, had been killed in action.

He was chopped to death by the saber of the Chinese cavalry. Only half of his head was connected to his neck. His death was extremely miserable and indecent. When he was discovered by the soldiers, the brigade commander was chewing dirt.

The posture and body have become stiff.

The soldier responsible for burying the body recognized Comrade Brigade Commander's identity from his epaulettes and did not dare to act rashly. He maintained Comrade Brigade Commander's posture before he died heroically and ran over to report this. For those who survived the armored brigade,

For these officers, the news was nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

Anyone in the armored brigade can die, even if most of the family's wealth is gone, it won't be a big problem. However, if the brigade commander and political commissar Comrade Nikolay Gorsky dies, for the officers who are still alive,

, that would be a disaster, and maybe everyone would be buried together.

In the armored brigade, Comrade Nikolagorski's special identity is not a secret. Just being an important member of the Military Region's Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee, with this identity, he can walk sideways in the Transcaucasus Military Region. In addition, as Comrade Commander of the Military Region, he can personally

He was approved to serve as the chief military and political officer of the armored brigade. The dual identities combined were enough to make the surviving officers, led by the brigade chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, remain silent and feel chills on the back of their heads.
