The swords clashed, the knights roared, the horses neighed, and the guns were heard, and the cavalry of the two sides finally officially met in close quarters, and a fierce battle began.

For the Russian cavalry, this is a real cavalry battle, to be honest, the battle between the Russian cavalry and the warrior chariot just now was quite aggrieved, after all, this kind of steel monster is indeed not something that can be resisted by manpower, and now it can be found on the body of the cavalry of the People's Army.

However, after the battle, the Russian cavalry found that the cavalry of the People's Army was not vulnerable, whether it was riding or horseback fighting ability, it was not under the Russian army at all, and even the cooperation between the groups was still above the Russian army, so for a time it was a close match with the Russian army, and the strength was equal.

In fact, the cavalry of the People's Army has received very strict training, basically quite solid, but lacks the training of actual combat, and the Russian cavalry was beaten by the warrior car for a while, not only suffered heavy casualties, morale was frustrated, and the formation queue was also disrupted, the People's Army cavalry was morale high, although the experience was not as good as the Russian army, but the queue was neat, so it was not weaker than the Russian cavalry when it first engaged, and after a period of battle, the People's Army cavalry not only gradually stabilized its position, but also gained some upper hand.

At this time, the 9 warrior vehicles of the People's Army had completely penetrated the array of the Russian cavalry, turned their heads, and rushed towards the Russian cavalry again, forming a flanking attack on the Russian army together with the cavalry. However, although the cavalry of the two sides had not yet formed a melee situation at this time, Bi Jing was close to each other, so the warrior car did not use the roof machine gun to shoot, but used the front machine gun or 95 rifle to shoot through the shooting hole, which could ensure the accuracy of the shooting, and the speed of the car was slowed down to about 30 kilometers per hour. At this time, some Russian cavalry also turned their horses and met the warrior chariots.

But that's it, the warrior car is not something that the Russian cavalry can compete with, so wherever the warrior chariot goes, the Russian cavalry is either knocked out of the way, or killed by the machine guns and rifles of the KPA. At the other end, the cavalry of the People's Army was also struggling to tear apart, and under the front and rear attacks of the People's Army, the Russian cavalry finally could not resist and was defeated.

The People's Army pursued and killed for a while, and it was 9 warrior cars, which almost chased the rear of the Russian cavalry and shot at them, killing the Russian army all the way to the ground, until it was only 5 or 6 kilometers away from Beilin before stopping, turning the head of the car and returning.

In this battle, the Russian 1st Cavalry Brigade suffered heavy casualties, a total of 2,756 dead and missing, 1,864 wounded, and more than 4,000 casualties, it can be said that the cavalry brigade base was disabled, and the remaining personnel were only enough to form two battalions; while the People's Army lost 482 people, wounded 683 people, captured 237 Russian cavalrymen, and captured 315 horses, and the biggest gain was to confirm that the warrior chariot has a considerable advantage over the cavalry, and the cavalry of the People's Army has also been tempered and accumulated actual combat experience。

After defeating the Russian cavalry, the People's Army did not stay on the west bank of the Muling River for a long time, after all, this is still the area controlled by the Russian army, so after the People's Army cleaned up the battlefield, only a small number of cavalry patrols were left, and most of the cavalry and warrior convoys withdrew across the Muling River and retreated to the railway station to garrison.

Although this battle can only be regarded as a medium-sized battle in terms of the overall battle situation, after all, the combined strength of the two sides does not exceed 10,000 people, but the impact on the battle situation is far beyond the battle itself. Because this is because the Russian army realizes that the People's Army stationed at Mulinghe Station is not blindly defensive, but will also take the initiative to attack, and there is actually a cavalry unit with quite strong combat effectiveness in the People's Army, of course, this is the Russian army that counts the warrior convoy in the cavalry. The speed of the cavalry is fast, the mobility is strong, it is good at surprise operations, and the Mulinghe station is located in the center of the entire battlefield, theoretically speaking, the cavalry can attack from the Mulinghe station, and can attack the Russian army on any battlefield in one day, so it can pose a threat to all Russian troops, and also force all Russian troops to allocate part of their energy and strength to prevent the people's army's cavalry raid, which naturally involves the combat effectiveness of the Russian army.

In addition, according to the plan of the Russian army, it is to attack the Mulinghe railway station from the west and north, and the 35th division of the Russian army is responsible for attacking the Mulinghe station, and the 1st brigade of the Russian army, which has only one regiment left, will converge with the 1st brigade of the Russian cavalry and the railway garrison on the western front to attack the west of the Mulinghe station. However, after the 1st Cavalry Brigade suffered a crushing defeat, the Russian troops on the Western Front naturally did not dare to attack lightly, and what if the KPA cavalry set up an ambush on the way or outflanked the rear road of the Russian army? Therefore, the army temporarily stationed at Beilin Station and did not move, but sent a large number of scouts to find out the movements of the KPA cavalry. And at this time, the 35th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Northern Front launched an attack on the Mulinghe station.

Since the Russian army was only attacking from the northern front, the KPA deployed a regiment of troops to guard the northern line of the Mulinghe station, and at this time the KPA had already built a defensive position dominated by trenches, barbed wood, and barbed wire. And machine guns and mortars are the mainstay, forming a dense firepower network to block the offensive of the Russian army. And the artillery on the armored train also opened fire together, providing fire support to the position, of course, the two 280-mm guns had not yet been used.

Major General Tobulkinsky, commander of the 35th Division, and Major General Glasgow, commander of the 2nd Brigade, both knew the importance of the attack on the Muling River Station, which was related to the victory or defeat of this battle, so they also issued a stern order to the attacking Russian army, so the Russian army launched an offensive at the beginning was also quite fierce, and dispatched more than 150 artillery pieces to shell the positions of the People's Army, and the Russian soldiers launched an attack on the positions of the People's Army under the cover of artillery.

However, the trenches of the People's Army are designed in the form of anti-shelling, not only nearly 4 meters deep, but also dug anti-artillery holes in the side walls of the trenches, although they cannot reach 100% defensive shelling, but they can also minimize the lethality of artillery shelling, while most of the Russian artillery is 57, 75, 88 mm small and medium-caliber artillery, more than 100 mm artillery only a dozen, and 125, There is no large-caliber artillery like 155, so the power of the Russian artillery bombardment is indeed limited, and the damage caused to the People's Army is not much, just blowing up some barbed wood and barbed wire.

In contrast, although the KPA does not have many artillery pieces, less than 30 guns, but more than 100 mm artillery accounts for most of it, from 125, 155 such large-caliber artillery each has 4, and they are all large diameter times, the firing range is also long, although the 2 280 mm cannon has not yet participated in the battle, but the actual lethality is much stronger than the Russian artillery, and under the guidance of the drone, the Russian artillery positions were quickly determined and bombarded, as a result, after the People's Army knocked out 2 artillery positions of the Russian army in a row, other artillery of the Russian army also moved their positions.

However, at this time, the attacking troops of the Russian army had already broken through to the front of the KPA position, so it was not a very important question whether there was artillery support, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides was more important.

The positions of the People's Army were immediately opened with full firepower, all kinds of machine guns and rifles were opened fire one after another, and mortars, grenadiers and other weapons were also fired, and a fierce attack was launched at the Russian army. In the face of the intensive firepower of the People's Army, the soldiers of the Russian army were like harvesting crops, falling to the ground in rows and patches, and were forcibly blocked less than 100 meters in front of the position, and could no longer take a step forward, although some Russian soldiers found cover in front of the position, hid their bodies, set up rifles and fired at the People's Army, but the firepower was obviously too far behind the People's Army, not only was it quickly suppressed by the People's Army, but also became the target of the People's Army's precision strikes.

After two days of fierce fighting, the Russian army made almost no progress, but suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the position of the People's Army seemed to be an insurmountable barrier for the Russian army.

At this time, Major General Tobulkinsky remembered that he had not said that the western and northern fronts were attacking the Mullinghe railway station at the same time? It had been two days since he had been fighting on his side, and there was no movement on the western front, so Major General Thobulkinsky ordered Major General Glinsky, commander of the 1st Brigade, to immediately launch an attack on the Mullinghe railway station from the western front.

The 1st Brigade was originally a unit of the 35th Division, so Glinsky did not dare to disobey the orders of Major General Tobulkinsky, and two days later, after the confirmation of the scouts, it was basically certain that most of the KPA cavalry had withdrawn to the east bank of the Muling River, so Glinsky led the 1st Brigade, together with the railway garrison, to attack from Beilin Station and launched an attack on the Muling River Station. And leaving the 1st Cavalry Brigade to guard Beilin Station is also to let the cavalry brigade continue to repair, after all, in the battle, the role of the cavalry is not very large, and the cavalry brigade is indeed too casualties, and it takes time to repair.

So on the third day, the Russian army finally realized the situation of a two-sided attack on the Mulinghe station, and the pressure on the people's army guarding the Mulinghe station also increased sharply. However, at this time, the People's Army on the southern front finally launched an attack on the positions of the Russian army.

Although the battle on the southern front was two days later than the battle at the Mulinghe station, these two days were quite important for the KPA on the southern front, and in these two days, the KPA brought in more than 200 artillery pieces, half of which were more than 100 mm guns, and two self-propelled guns of 200 mm caliber completed all the fire preparations.

At the beginning of the battle, the People's Army launched a covering intensive artillery bombardment of the Russian army's positions from the northeast and southeast directions, and on the armored train in the Mulinghe station, two 280-mm giant guns finally began to exert their power at this time, fiercely bombarding the positions of the Russian army, and more than 200 artillery pieces poured shells onto the Russian positions. The positions in the east and north of the Russian army were almost completely covered by the explosion of the shelling, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the sand and gravel were splashed, the dust was high, and the sky and the sun were covered, and there were also faintly mixed with many Russian soldiers who were swept up by the explosion waves, even in the west of the Russian position, although they were not shelled, they could feel the tremor of the ground.
