In one day, the KPA cavalry found a total of 6 Russian patrol and reconnaissance teams, which were basically squads, and only two teams were platoon-level. Naturally, the two sides fought, and at the end of the day, the Russian army lost a total of 42 killed and 5 captured, while the KPA only had 4 killed, another 7, and 3 horses were wounded.

At this time, the Russian army coming from the direction of Mudanjiang had arrived at the Beilin Station of the Binsui Line, about 30 kilometers away from the Mulinghe Station, and was waiting for the 35th Division of the Russian Army on the Northern Front to send troops to join them. And the Russian army at Beilin Station received today's results that night, and the Russian scouts also discovered the location of the KPA cavalry regiment and confirmed that the number of KPA was between 2000-2500. Of course, this is also the People's Army deliberately exposing its position in order to attract the Russian cavalry to attack.

The Russian army was also very surprised, it is said that it is a very common thing for small groups of troops on both sides to fight, sometimes more than a dozen times a day, but this time the People's Army dispatched a cavalry army, which has never been the case before, although since the beginning of the war, the People's Army has won many victories on both the sea and land fronts, and even fought a successful landing operation, but the sense of existence of the cavalry units of the People's Army on the battlefield is not high, and it can even be said that there is no sense of existence at all, and many people in the top echelons of the Russian army think that the People's Army does not have a formed cavalry unit at all。 And now the People's Army has dispatched a formed cavalry army, and it has also crossed the Muling River to fight, what kind of operation is this, it is a bit like a challenge to the Russian cavalry.

Although it is not clear about the intentions of the People's Army, since the cavalry of the People's Army has killed the Muling River, the Russian army must certainly not ignore it, otherwise such a cavalry army can still cause a lot of trouble to the Russian army, so the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Major General Baumgeldan, decided to lead the cavalry to attack and teach the People's Army a lesson, and the Bijing Cavalry is the best army to deal with the cavalry.

However, the commander of the railway garrison, Major General Morozov, believed that the 1st Cavalry Brigade was not suitable to attack at this time, and that Bi Jing's current Russian army was mainly supported by this cavalry brigade, and it was not too late to wait for the arrival of troops sent by the 35th Division before attacking.

But Baumgerdan did not listen to Morozov's advice, but insisted on attacking tomorrow, on the grounds that the cavalry was moving fast, and when the troops sent by the 35th Division arrived, perhaps the KPA cavalry had already shifted its position, and it would not be so easy to find the KPA cavalry. In Baumgerdan's heart, there is another plan, the cavalry has a very high status in the Russian army, and unlike the "gray livestock" of the Russian army, most of the soldiers in the cavalry are from noble backgrounds, not only have a strong sense of honor, but also desire to make meritorious contributions, so they are extremely warlike.

But since the start of the war, whether it is against the Japanese army or the People's Army, the Russian cavalry is almost useless, this is mainly because the cavalry combat needs a broad space, but since the start of the war, the Russian army has basically fought positional warfare, so it is difficult for the Russian cavalry to find an opportunity to fight on the battlefield.

Moreover, Baumgerdan and Morozov have the same military ranks, both are major generals, and before setting off from Mudanjiang Station, they did not clearly specify who would be in command, in terms of troops, of course, cavalry brigades accounted for the majority, but the attack on Mulinghe Station was mainly based on ground offensives, so it was not appropriate for anyone to command, and Volkov also took into account that after the troops sent by the 35th Division arrived, the officers of the 35th Division would naturally take command, and they would simply not assign commanders. Anyway, it didn't take a few days, but I didn't expect this to happen.

Baumgerdan ignored Morozov, and on the morning of the second day he led the cavalry brigade out, and after walking less than 5 kilometers, the 1st Battalion, which served as the vanguard, reported and found the KPA cavalry, numbering about 150 people, estimated to be a cavalry company, which was retreating to the east. When Baumgeldan heard this, he immediately ordered the 1st Battalion to chase after him, at least to bite the KPA and not let the KPA escape, and at the same time to make a detour with the 3rd Battalion to cut off the road for the KPA cavalry to withdraw to the Mulinghe Station.

The commander of the 1st Battalion is Lieutenant Colonel Korolov, who was born in a middle-class aristocratic family in Russia, and this time he went to the Far East to participate in the war, and he also saved up enough breath to establish his military exploits and obtain a knighthood, so that he could have a territory, and now he finally waited for the opportunity to fight, so he led the cavalry of the 1st Battalion and closely pursued the cavalry of the People's Army.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is about 600 meters, at this distance, the range of the M1891 Mosin Nagangoksa cavalry rifle equipped by the Russian cavalry is not enough, but Korolov is still confident in himself, because the Russian cavalry is equipped with excellent Heton horses, this kind of war horse has both speed and endurance, and the war horses of the People's Army cavalry are mostly Mongolian horses, endurance is enough, and the speed is average, so Korolav estimates that within 10 kilometers, it is possible to catch up with the People's Army.

Sure enough, after chasing about 5 or 6 kilometers, the Russian army narrowed the distance to about 400 meters, and Korolov was very happy in his heart, if he chased another 100 meters, the Russian cavalry could enter the range of the rifle, of course, there was basically no accuracy.

At this moment, only from behind the two small hills on the left and right, there was a sound of "whine", and each turned out three vehicles that Korolav had never seen before, with very strange shapes, and huge bodies, without any animal power, and drove towards the Russian cavalry. Many Russian cavalry were also very surprised, and they stopped to watch and talk.

Korolov is from an aristocratic background, and he naturally has more knowledge than ordinary soldiers, and knows that there is a kind of vehicle that relies on automatic force in some European countries, which can be regarded as a train that does not need rails, and these cars are estimated to be similar products, but since they appear on the battlefield, they are the enemies of the Russian army, and they will not come here to travel, so Korolov ordered that each company of troops be divided to attack the vehicles on the left and right, and the home team is not busy chasing the KPA cavalry, but looking at the results of the battle on the left and right。 Although Korolov did not know how effective this vehicle was, a company of more than 150 people, 50 people to attack a vehicle, how is it enough.

So two armies were separated from the Russian brigade and rushed up to meet the three vehicles that suddenly appeared.

"Close the window shutters and get ready for battle. ”

The vehicles that appeared at this time were naturally KPA warrior armored vehicles, which in groups of 3 rushed towards the Russian cavalry at a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour. Seeing that the Russians also divided their forces and rushed towards the warrior armored car, Xiao Yingpeng, the leader of the first group, gave the order.

Soon, the window baffles of Xiao Yingpeng's car were all closed, but there were two thin slits about 5 centimeters high and 30 centimeters wide on the two front windows for the driver and the commander to observe the situation outside the car.

Huang Tao, the deputy machine gunner in the back row, said: "Commander, let's fire, the distance is already enough." The roof of the armored car of the Warrior is equipped with 14. The firing range of the 5 mm caliber machine gun is up to 2000 meters, and all cavalry units of the Russian army are within the firing range.

Xiao Yingpeng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's not yet within the range of the secondary machine gun? He picked up the walkie-talkie again and said, "No. 2 and No. 3 pay attention, and then fire after they are within range of the secondary machine gun." ”

The Mengshi armored car was equipped with a Type 86 7.62 mm machine gun in the front and rear, with a range of 600 meters, but Xiao Yingpeng waited until the distance between the two sides was about 400 meters before giving the order to "open fire".

The six machine guns on the three armored vehicles fired together, spraying hot tongues of fire at the Russian cavalry, the bullets tore through the air, and slammed into the bodies of the Russian cavalry and war horses, frantically destroying the blood organs of the bodies, and the men and horses who were shot let out screams and fell to the ground. Because it was a 14.5 mm bullet, it was extremely powerful, and two horses were shot in the neck, which actually broke the horse's neck, and after one bullet broke the horse's neck, it hit the knight on horseback, and made a hole the size of a bowl in the knight's chest.

Almost none of the Russian cavalry who rushed to the front were spared, they were shot and fell to the ground, and many of their companions behind them were tripped, and Korolov did not lead the charge, so he was spared, but one bullet flew almost against his cheek, and cut a blood mark on his face that was 6 or 7 centimeters long and nearly 2 centimeters wide, and it was a burning pain.

Korolov's heart was shocked and angry, and he couldn't imagine that the other party's car was equipped with a machine gun, but at this time, the Russian cavalry could not retreat, because it had already entered the range of the opponent's machine gun, and once it turned around and retreated, it was equivalent to using the opponent as a target, so he could only continue to charge, close the distance between the two sides as soon as possible, get close to the other party's vehicle, and kill the people in the car. So Korolav yelled: "Rush, rush, rush!" As he spoke, his legs clamped between the horse's belly, and the horse suddenly increased its speed to the limit.

The rest of the Russian cavalry also had the same idea as Korolov, and they all urged their horses to speed up the charge. Moreover, some Russian cavalrymen also raised their rifles and fired at the armored vehicles, but the bullets hit the armored vehicles and "bumped" and sparks, but they did no damage to the armored vehicles at all.

At this time, the distance had been reduced to 100 meters, and several Russian cavalrymen who had rushed in front had already put down their rifles, drew their sabers, and raised their blades high, flashing with a cold light, just waiting to approach the enemy and strike a thunderous and lightning blow. However, there were also cavalrymen who were in a posed position and fell under their horses after being shot.

"Xiao Peng, if you want to collide with Maozi, the steering wheel must be steady. Xiao Yingpeng held the controller of the machine gun on the roof of the car with one hand, grabbed the handle with the other, and said, "Huang Tao, hold it steady." ”

The driver Peng Yanwu said: "Don't worry, commander, this time we will let Mao Zi compensate for our strength! As he spoke, he held the steering wheel with both hands, stepped on the accelerator with his right foot, and the armored car suddenly accelerated to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, facing the two Russian cavalrymen who rushed up, and collided with it.
