Chapter 613: The Battle of Manchuria (6)
At this time, many Russian troops could not care about the frontal attack of the People's Army, and they rode their horses and turned around, rushing to kill in the direction of the warrior car, after all, there was no battle with the cavalry of the People's Army, and the Type 89 heavy machine gun on the warrior car had already directly posed a threat to the Russian army at this time, so the Russian army could only take care of the enemy in front of them.
And as the Russian army rushed up, the machine guns in front of the warrior car also opened fire at this time, strengthening the firepower, and at the same time replacing the bullet box for the 89 type heavy machine gun, because of the shooting just now, in order to pursue the maximum lethality in a short period of time, causing heavy casualties to the Russian main team, all the 89 type heavy machine guns on the warrior car are fired at the fastest rate of fire, so most of the warrior vehicles have completely exhausted a bullet box, although a small number of warrior cars have not yet hit the rice bullet box, but there is not much left, fortunately, at this time the warrior car is still some distance from the Russian army, and the machine gun in front of the car can also be fired, so there was still enough time for the KPA fighters to replace the cartridge boxes for the Type 89 heavy machine gun.
The members of the warrior car are all crossing soldiers, although at this time all the lowest rank of crossing fighters are colonels, but in fact their average age is not very old, still under 30 years old, the action is still very sharp, the replacement of the bullet box can be completed in only more than 10 seconds, so soon all the warrior cars have completed the replacement of the bullet box, and accelerated the speed, rushing towards the Russian army. And this time, the warrior cars are no longer in a formation that keeps going hand in hand, but are changed to a squad, that is, a group of three vehicles, and they are lined up in a triangle and drive towards the Russian army.
This is because now the warrior car is no longer facing a cavalry battalion just now, but the main formation of the Russian army, in addition to the previous two cavalry battalions, the main formation of the Russian army now has about 8,000 troops, for 12 fierce earth vehicles, this is a rather large number. And it is not very likely that the Russian army can be defeated with 12 warrior vehicles. This is also the reason why the KPA places the warrior carts on the sides instead of on the front.
After all, the foundation of the warrior car is only a military off-road vehicle, and the firepower and impact power are limited, not an armored vehicle in the standard sense, and even a light armored vehicle cannot be reached, whether it is armor or firepower, there is a considerable distance from the standard armored vehicle. In fact, if the Russian army responds to the tactics properly, it only needs to use about 100-150 cavalry, and it will probably be able to fight a warrior car in a frontal hard fight, unless the warrior car uses its speed and range advantage to use ranger tactics. And the reason why the warrior car was able to easily break through the interception of the Russian cavalry camp with an overwhelming momentum just now is mainly because the Russian army has indeed seen this weapon for the first time, lacks experience in dealing with it, and was caught off guard, and the corresponding tactics are not right.
But now in the face of the main formation of the Russian army, of course, it is not possible to use the kind of rolling tactics that are lined up just now, so it has been changed to a triangular offensive tactic based on small groups, fighting separately, directly entering the Russian army's formation and assaulting, completely disrupting the Russian army, and creating a favorable situation for the cavalry of the People's Army to rush up and engage in the battle.
Sure enough, the 12 warrior cars were divided into 4 groups, and they entered the formation of the Russian army, the machine gun on the roof and the machine gun in front of the car fired fiercely, and at the same time, they also hit the Russian soldiers with the body, and fought 4 bloody roads in the Russian army, although the Russian cavalry also showed a relatively high fighting spirit and brave style, after all, those who can be cavalry are all nobles or petty bourgeoisie, and have a strong sense of honor, so they desperately urge the war horses, charge at the warrior car, shoot with a cavalry gun, or rush to the front of the warrior car, and swing a knife to the warrior car to chop and slash.
However, this kind of frontal hard fight tactics is obviously not the correct tactic to deal with the warrior car, the rifle used by the Russian cavalry cannot penetrate the armor of the warrior car at all, and the saber is even more to hit the stone with pebbles, in vain, the result is either hit by the warrior car, or killed by machine guns, and then run over, and the route that each warrior car group drove through, leaving a road paved with the corpses of men and horses.
And at this moment, the cavalry of the People's Army also killed the battlefield, although at this time there was no warrior car group to break through the Russian army's array, but the Russian army has been completely disrupted, so in the face of the attack of the People's Army, the Russian cavalry has no resistance at all, under the sword and spear of the People's Army cavalry, the Russian cavalry have fallen to the ground, countless casualties, although a small number of Russian cavalry fought hard, but the number was too small, it was impossible to stop the assault of the People's Army cavalry, only by the People's Army corpses all over the field, blood flowed like a river.
At this time, everyone knew that the defeat of the Russian army was decided, except for a small number of Russian cavalry who were still fighting to the death, the fighting spirit of most of the Russian cavalry had dropped significantly, after all, at this point, basically no one thought that the Russian army would win, and naturally they had no intention of fighting again.
The first to flee from the battlefield is the Mongolian army, although they are fighting with the Russian army, but in essence they are still private troops or rogues, and they can fight the Russian army in peacetime, and they will fight bravely when the Russian army has the advantage, and capture the flag, but once the battlefield falls into adversity, they will never fight to the death with the Russian army, and the most important thing is to save their lives first. On the battlefield now, not only is the defeat of the Russian army assured, but these Mongolian troops have also seen with their own eyes that the People's Army has used terrible weapons with great power, and some Mongolian soldiers even think that the People's Army has used some evil arts. Therefore, the Mongol army dared to stay on the battlefield, so they pulled their horses and fled from the battlefield.
The flight of the Mongolian army immediately infected the Russian army, first of all, the Russian army near the Mongolian army, they saw the Mongolian army fleeing, as if they got a hint, and quickly retreated from the battlefield, and the behavior of these Russian troops affected other Russian troops, so it gradually spread to the whole army, resulting in the rout of the Russian army on all fronts, and the Russian cavalry scattered and fled from the battlefield. And the KPA cavalry and warrior chariots automatically combined to pursue the Russian army and expand the results.
Zelensky stamped his feet in the horseshoe and said hatefully: "These damned Mongolian barbarians, a bunch of cowards, cowards. It has long been known that they are not real warriors. ”
In fact, now the defeat of the Russian army is decided, and the Mongolian army is the first to retreat, but it is just to advance the defeat of the Russian army, even if they do not flee, the defeat of the Russian army is a matter of time, but for Zelensky, it is a good excuse to throw the blame, it is the defeat of the Mongolian army that makes the Russian army defeated, so it is better to save face. Therefore, the subordinates were also very cooperative, and the chief of staff of the division said: "Division commander, although it is the reason of the Mongolian barbarians, but now that we have failed, let's retreat." ”
Zelensky also nodded and said, "Okay, retreat." After I go back, I will settle accounts with the Mongolian barbarians. ”
At this moment, only to hear a sound of "porphyry porphyria", a piece of sand splashed on the mountain bag, dust and smoke everywhere, more than 10 riders and horses fell to the ground, Zelensky couldn't help but be taken aback, looking around, I saw that hundreds of meters away, three warrior cars lined up in a "product" shape, galloping towards the direction of the mountain bag where the Russian army is located, and the machine gun on the roof of the car continued to spit fire tongue on the mountain bag.
Zelensky was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't care about face, so he shouted: "Retreat." Saying that, he flicked the horse's head, clamped the horse's belly with both feet, and rushed down the mountain, and the other Russian cavalry officers and soldiers did not dare to slack off, and they rode their horses and whipped up, and quickly escaped from the mountain bag with Zelensky, but there were still a few people who moved a little slower, were hit by a bomb, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
However, after rushing down the mountain bag, due to the blockage of the mountain bag, the warrior car could not be seen for the time being, and there was no need to worry about bullets, but Zelensky did not dare to delay at all, and added a whip to the back of the war horse, and the war horse spread its four hooves and ran at a gallop.
ran out of 3, 400 hundred meters in one breath, Zelensky looked back, at this time the Russian army had formed a team of nearly 100 meters, and only more than 10 horses were able to keep up with themselves, after all, everyone's war horses, riding skills, The weights are different, so the speed is naturally different, Zelensky straddles a high-quality war horse raised by his own private family, which is carefully fed and trained strictly, and the quality is much higher than that of other war horses, and he is the head of a division, so he naturally carries a lot of irrelevant things, and he can travel lightly, and he is naturally the fastest.
And Zelensky was looking at the direction of the mountain bag just now, three warrior cars jumped up from the rear of the mountain bag one after another, and fell to the slope of the mountain bag with the momentum of Wanjun, like a tiger descending the mountain, following the Russian army chasing up, the fire flashed in front of the car, and the Russian cavalry that fell behind was constantly shot and fell off the horse, or the people and horses fell to the ground. And from time to time bullets whizz past Zelensky's side. Zelensky was also so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly whipped the war horse again, and the whole person ran wildly on the horse's back.
It was Yang Yongjun's warrior car squad that chased Zelensky, it turned out that when they were fighting fiercely in the chaos, they found that there were a lot of Russian cavalry on a mountain bag in the distance, Yang Yongjun concluded that it was the location of the command place of the Russian army, and at this time the Russian army was already in chaos on the battlefield, and the cavalry of the People's Army also entered the Russian army's formation, galloping vertically and horizontally, and basically had a victory in hand, so Yang Yongjun decided to rush out of the battle group and attack the small mountain where the Russian army was located, to see if he could catch a few big fish, and also called a cavalry company to follow his convoy to act together, after all, it is easy to kill Russian soldiers, but if you want to catch the big fish, it is not enough to rely on these three warrior vehicles, which requires at least some of the cavalry.
Although in this battle, the warrior chariot unit was under the command of the cavalry commander Zhao Lijun, but on the battlefield, the cavalry unit had to listen to the orders of the warrior chariot unit, after all, this battle mainly relied on these 12 warrior chariots, so Yang Yongjun wanted to transfer a cavalry company, of course, it was very easy. So Yang Yongjun immediately commanded his convoy of warriors, rushed out of the battle group, and rushed towards the small hill where the Russian army was located.
