Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1945 Cavalry Assault

In October, the grasslands of Outer Mongolia are already a scene of early winter. The cold north wind whistles across both sides of the Onen River, blowing the withered and yellow pastures, grass blades and grass stems flying all over the sky, turning the originally clear sky.

, it was a mess, with fluffy white grass and tamarisk trees trembling in the wind.

I don’t know when, in the northwest sky, groups of leaden gray clouds rolled over, blocking the bright afternoon sunshine. The north wind became stronger and stronger, and the weather was about to change. The first snow on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia,

Came unexpectedly.

But on the west bank of the Enen River, where the north wind was howling and the grass was all over the sky, behind a high hill, there were neat cavalry formations, row after row, row after row, solemn and solemn, and the strong wind blew up the corners of the soldiers' uniforms.

,

Hunting and hunting in the wind, nearly 20,000 cavalrymen and their horses were silent and motionless, as if they had merged into the howling sky and earth. Each military flag made a loud noise like cracking silk in the wind.

.

Major General He Zhuguo, commander of the East Point Cavalry Mixed Brigade, was riding on a tall black horse. His thick body was as motionless as a mountain. He let the strong wind blow across his face without even frowning. In the distance, several cavalrymen were galloping towards him on flying horses.

When he arrived in front of He Zhuguo, he reined in the horse suddenly. The two front hooves of the war horse lifted off the ground and fell heavily. A young captain raised his hands in salute on the horse and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, the brigade's reconnaissance company

Chang Song Changfa reported that the defeated Soviet troops, numbering about **0,000 people, were divided into seven groups and were approaching the west bank of the Onen River. They are still ten kilometers away from us. After the report, please give instructions to the brigade commander!"

He Zhuguo raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I know, continue to monitor! By the way, do the Soviets have tanks and artillery?"

Song Changfa replied affirmatively: "No. They are all infantry. Our scouts didn't even see a truck. Brigadier, think about it, nine brigades of troops commanded by the deputy division commander were beaten five or six times."

God has taken care of everything that needs to be thrown away in Heaven's time, and it's only because God has taken care of us that we can reach the Enen River!"

He Zhuguo's stern face showed a hint of a smile and said: "You are the smartest kid. If an artillery piece appears, I will skin you!"

Song Changfa winced and saluted. He quickly hit his horse and galloped away. He Zhuguo couldn't help but laugh.

Then, he turned back to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Jia Lianhai, and said: "Lian Hai, it's worth noting that we have been running for several days. We finally got the big fish. There are 10,000 people, which is less than I estimated. We ordered the troops to form a regiment."

Go to the 6th Regiment. Each of them is responsible for attacking the 1st, 7th and 8th Regiments. They will follow me to attack the middle road of the Soviet army, and order the brigade to attach itself to the mortar battalion. After the Soviet army enters the artillery range, the machine gun battalion of each regiment will launch the most violent shelling.

, first disrupt the Soviet army's position.

"At the beginning of the artillery bombardment, after the cavalry begins to charge, tell the artillery battalion commander to pay attention to the speed of the cavalry. If a cannonball falls in the formation of our cavalry charge, I will skin him alive!"

"The attack must be fierce and rapid, without giving the Soviet army time to react. The three battalions of each regiment are deployed at the same time to penetrate the Soviet army's column. Then, they charge repeatedly and tell several regiment commanders to pay attention to tactical coordination.

Try to completely disrupt the Soviet army when the deputy division commander commands the main force to catch up!"

Chief of Staff Jia Lianhai took a deep breath, hesitated, and said: "Brigadier Commander, the strength of the Soviet army is more than four times greater than ours. If the battle lasts for a long time, the casualties of the troops will probably be huge. We might as well accept Brigadier Li's suggestion.

After an assault, it is safer to leave the battlefield immediately, and then conduct a new attack according to the battle pattern."

"Also, it is a very dangerous tactical arrangement for the cavalry to charge first and then launch the mortar bombardment. The cavalry is too fast. If we don't do it, the artillery shells will fall in our queue, which will be terrible! Brigadier, still

Play it safe, bombard first, and then the cavalry starts to charge!"

Jia Lianhai did not go into detail about what he said. In fact, Chen Guozhu, commander of the 10th East Point Brigade, who served as the commander of the blocking force, adopted the method that the 10th Brigade built a blocking position on the east bank of the Onen River to prevent the Soviet troops from crossing the river.

The mixed cavalry brigades were hidden on both sides of the Soviet army. After the Soviet army fought with the 10th Brigade, the cavalry suddenly broke out, fought through them, and then quickly left the battlefield to prepare for the next attack.

Unexpectedly, He Zhuguo refused. In his words, "What does the cavalry do? It's a frontal assault. How can you hide behind the infantry and take advantage of it? Just say it and make everyone laugh. I'll take all the sabers with 20,000 yuan."

Come on, you infantrymen!"

Chen Guozhu knew He Zhuguo's temper and was very stubborn. Even ten old cows couldn't pull him back when he was sure of something. During the battlefield in western Liaoning, the East Point troops fought small-scale battles, at most the size of a regiment.

Moreover, it was still a mechanized force fighting. In two or three years, the cavalry mixed brigade failed to win any battles. He Zhuguo was so depressed that his eyes turned blue and he was full of complaints. He often made trouble with the deputy division commander.

At the beginning, when the deputy division commander asked him to form a team with He Zhuguo, he complained in his heart. This brother He was not an ordinary disobedient. He had been holding it in for two or three years, but he was sent out and why didn't he give it a good shake?

Now, he really followed what he said. He said that he was the commander-in-chief, but it was obvious that the cavalry mixed brigade did not listen to him. Especially after he received a telegram from the deputy division commander, ordering the troops to change the original battle plan, He Zhuguo became even more confident.

.

"See, brother Chen, the deputy division commander is asking us to block these old guys with all our strength. If we are passively blocking, we will definitely suffer losses. Only by taking the initiative can we complete the mission. Our cavalry is best suited for such a job!" He Zhuguo said!

said.

Now, seeing his chief of staff bring up this topic again, He Zhuguo surprisingly did not get angry, but said in a serious tone: "Lian Hai, I understand what you mean. It is much safer on the east bank of the river than facing the enemy with your back to the water. How to fight?"

, there is also a way out, but it’s useless to think about it. The Soviet army’s strength exceeds ours by more than four times. How can we fight this battle?”

"With more than 15,000 people, Brigade Commander Chen will definitely not be able to close the gap. If the Soviet army breaks through the blocking line, we will fail to complete the task assigned by the deputy division commander. Even if our cavalry brigade is wiped out, at least we can

After killing two or three times more of the old Maozi soldiers, Brigadier Chen’s 10th Brigade will definitely be able to deal with the remaining 20 to 30,000 people. It’s worth it if we fight them all!”

Having said this, He Zhuguo smiled coldly and continued: "Besides, we are just waiting for work. The Soviet army retreated in embarrassment, and the morale is different. I placed the troops by the river with no retreat, just to break the boat and fight.

It’s still unclear who will eat whom!”

"There is also Lian Hai. My tactical arrangement may seem dangerous, but in fact it is well-organized. The artillery attack must be the Soviet light infantry running at the front. When I see our cavalry start to charge, Lao Maozi's first

The reaction will be light

The heavy machine guns are set up. Even though the Soviet army has no tanks and artillery, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns are fired. It is no joke. At least it can knock all our first wave of cavalry off their horses.

, you said, the casualties can be small?"

"So, I have to wait for the Soviet army to set up the light and heavy machine guns, and then the artillery shells will hit them. Next, can the rifles in the hands of the Soviet infantry stop the cavalry? How about that, we can win the battle by surprise!"

Jia Lianhai sighed silently. He admitted that what the brigade commander said was right. However, seeing a mixed cavalry brigade with more than 19,000 cavalry dying on the battlefield, he couldn't accept it. Moreover, the brigade commander's tactics

The arrangement was a bit uncertain no matter how you looked at it, but he couldn't say anything else. It was obvious that the brigade commander was already determined to die.

At this time, a cavalry correspondent galloped over on horseback, "Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance unit reported that the Soviet army is close to the range of our attack!"

He Zhuguo shouted: "Okay! Chief of Staff, signal to each regiment and attack immediately. It's time for us Northeastern men to go into battle and kill the enemy!" After saying that, with a "swish" sound, he drew out his saber and pointed the blade diagonally.

In front of him, he yelled "Kill!" like a thunderbolt and took the lead to fly out. Behind him, more than 4,000 cavalrymen from two cavalry regiments stirred up dust all over the sky and surged toward Su in the strong north wind.

The army goes to kill!

Urged by the gunfire from behind and to the left and right, the Soviet soldiers who dared not stop were running fiercely. Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and there was a faint muffled sound like a drum. Looking up,

Behind a long hill, a cloud of gray smoke rolled up. The smoke grew higher and thicker, and then a bright blade appeared on the horizon where dark clouds gathered.

Then, war horses galloping all over the mountains and plains appeared on the hills more than ten kilometers away, like a rising wave, boundless and surging over, "Enemy's cavalry!" I don't know if it was the officer who shouted.

.

After a brief panic, the well-trained Soviet soldiers, under the orders of commanders at all levels, immediately lay down on the spot, and light and heavy machine guns came forward. The machine gunners quickly dug out the fire points, black holes.

The muzzles of their guns were pointed at the cavalry that was sweeping over. Although the Soviet soldiers were uneasy, they were still familiar with the cavalry.

Closer, closer. In another three or four kilometers, the cavalry of the independent division will fall in pieces under the dense rain of bullets. At this moment, in the sky covered with dark clouds, a scream suddenly came from the sky.

The experienced Soviet veterans turned pale at that time. They could hear the sound of swarms of mortar shells falling from above their heads.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"————! The shells exploded indiscriminately, sending up clouds of smoke and shrapnel flying everywhere. Although the artillery fire was not very dense, the area covered by the artillery fire seemed thin, and it did not hit Su

The depth of the army's columns, however, was a fatal artillery bombardment for the Soviet army's temporary light and heavy machine gun positions!

The Soviet machine gunners, together with their light and heavy machine guns, were thrown high into the air by the exploding shells. When they landed, they were already broken corpses with parts scattered all over the ground.
