Colonel Hans found the integrated supply depot next to that small village, thirteen kilometers south of Smolensk. This warehouse contains not only three months of ammunition for the Northern Soviet Army, but also hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline and more than a million gallons of diesel used for seven months. The underground of this hamlet was largely hollowed out, and in its place were warehouses for ammunition storage for Soviet troops.

And the lower floor of the ammunition storage warehouse is the floor of the garrison, and the lower floor is the petrol and diesel oil.

These Soviet soldiers are actually sitting on a huge time bomb, which can be detonated at any time. It could be a spark, or it could be a bullet. Anyway, these people's lives are in danger.

Colonel Hans's troops had several trucks that had just been grabbed, and the ZIS-5 trucks could not have been better for transporting ammunition. And these trucks were just in time to get the German soldiers into this huge time bomb.

The German high command falsified the outbound order for 50 boxes of tank shells and 12 barrels of diesel fuel. Although these quantities were very small, in fact the Soviet army really had such small transactions.

The group was lured into the house by some Soviet soldiers. So the soldiers who led the way were wiped off their necks and then hidden.

Some time bombs were placed in important ministries. bits, such as on certain ammunition boxes in ammunition depots. Then there were some mines that were placed in the location of the oil depot, and the main raw material of these mines was the Z grenades of the commandos.

When Colonel Hans led the assault team to the village of Catherine (who knows what it was called), he heard a series of explosions from a short distance, and even Colonel Hans and his assault team in the village of Yekaterin, three kilometers away, felt the wind.

There were even fragile houses that were blown into noodles. And in this village all women, not even a single man. It looks like he was caught.

While Colonel Hans was leading the men to build positions around the village, the Russian women of the village (who happened to be in Russia...... Stunned because they didn't know why these people. Minnai. The men of the army were to build fortifications around their villages.

DP machine guns were placed in important parts of the position. Colonel Hans came out with not tank shells, but Mosinagan rifle cartridges. These bullets are exactly the bullets that are generic to those machine guns.

Cavalry, for modern warfare, has disappeared. Even in World War II, there were not many, and there were only Poland, Germany, Japan. This is state-owned. Especially the day. Ben and Poland, because of the lack of mechanized vehicles and the lack of resources, these cavalry are the best vehicles for them. Germany, on the other hand, has been gradually banning cavalry since the beginning of World War I, because when cavalry attacks, casualties often outweigh the results. So these cavalry should have been placed in the second line.

There was only one Prussian cavalry brigade left among the front-line troops. The brigade has no number, just a name. This force advanced with the 1st Panzer Demonstration Division, and their commander was a tall, burly Germanic knight. Ji Feng didn't even know his name, he just knew that he should be called Mr. Colonel.

On the way to advance, a cavalry division of the Soviet army was encountered, which was supposed to be a light cavalry division by medieval standards, and the Prussian cavalry brigade in Germany should be said to be a cuirassiers. Both sides were equipped with the oldest equipment, the Soviets because of the lack of military production capacity, and the Germans to maintain the dignity of the Prussian cavalry.

The Prussian heavy cavalry was armed with heavy cavalry guns, which had good sprinting performance, but once the charge was over, these heavy cavalry guns were inferior to burning sticks. The Soviets were armed with sabers, and these weapons had a strange effect when pursuing, but when facing the enemy's sprint, they won inch by inch.

Looking at this cavalry division, three cavalry regiments lined up, and the cavalry colonel assigned these soldiers to his cavalry range.

The Prussian Cavalry Brigade had two cavalry regiments, and in general these men were not badly armed.

The Soviets also spotted the tall German cavalry regiment on this side, so the two sides lined up in a sprint formation.

※※※

As the colonel's command to sprint was given, the iron-clad horses and the light-clad cavalrymen began to charge, and the cavalrymen aimed their cavalry guns at their targets. The tremendous power of the sprint will push these people out. And these cavalry guns were aimed at chests. Mouth position.

The colonel and all the Prussian cavalry had a thought in their hearts: the Prussian cavalry had fallen behind more and more in the present war, and was now either on the second line or disbanded. Now there are not many Prussian cavalry on the front, and now it is like a farewell battle.

The colonel decided that he must fight this battle well, at least so that he could be worthy of his ancestors and the Prussian cavalry of the past.

So these cavalry sprinted to their deaths, even if the horses were carrying a lot of weight, but these horses ran faster than the Soviets, as if these horses also knew the thoughts of their masters.

It is difficult for war horses to communicate with people.

The Prussian cavalry, though old, did not grow old at the point of their guns. The sharp tips of the spears could not penetrate the armor, but they did not face the German tanks like the Polish hussars, but the same living enemy cavalry.

Although there were not many Prussian cavalry, there were quite a few Soviet cavalry. Even after the popularization of mechanized equipment, a large number of Cossack cavalry took part in the battles of the Soviet army. These Cossacks were cavalrymen by nature, very good at riding and slashing, and although cavalry is no longer needed in modern warfare, these people are fighting the enemy to the best of their ability. Even if it is a total annihilation.

※※※

The sound of tens of thousands of war horses stomping on the ground was very spectacular, and even the battlefield next to it was temporarily suspended. They came to watch the last cavalry battle in history.

When the two sides were about to stagger together, the men and horses of both armies concentrated their energies to the extreme. The colonel took the lead, and he faced the enemy's cavalry division commander, a cavalry who was also very powerful. The colonel's mounted rifle was aimed at the other colonel, and the colonel's light mounted rifle was aimed at the other colonel. Both colonels were armed with mounted guns, at least it seemed fair now.

"Puff ......" steel into. The sound of meat, the German colonel rushed the Soviet colonel off his horse at once, but the Soviet colonel did not die, and tried his best to poke his riding gun into the German colonel's chest by inertia. Mouth. Fortunately, thanks to the 6 mm homogeneous cuirass protection, the colonel was not too injured.

But this is relative, and lung injuries are much better than heart injuries. But compared to gunshot wounds, this kind of injury is also very severe. The colonel was a little sleepy because he was breathless, but his horse was not sleepy. The high-quality Anglo-Norman horses sprinted towards their positions with their wounded owners.

Before losing consciousness, the colonel tightened his arms around the reins and his feet tightened the stirrups so that he would not fall off the horse. But despite this, the colonel swayed from side to side like a toy on a horse that was bumpy at high speed.

※※※

By the time the colonel was taken away by the medical officer of the medical office, the two sides were already in a state of white heat: the Prussian cavalry, having lost the speed of the charge, was now like a lamb to the slaughter, and the Soviet cavalry, because of the use of sabers, was good at pursuit, and was now gaining the upper hand.

But the Prussian cavalry was always very strong, just like their predecessors, the knights of the Teutonic Order. For them, honor is loyalty, and loyalty requires a courageous attack on the enemy, even if it is never seen again next spring.

A lieutenant colonel turned around with a heavy rifle and blocked the Soviet saber and aimed the rifle at the Soviet soldier's chest. mouth, let the horse's speed drop slightly, and the horse spear pierced the enemy's chest. Mouth. But one of the Soviet cavalrymen who came from behind slashed the lieutenant colonel, and the lieutenant colonel, with the last strength of his life, knocked out the cavalryman who had killed him with a cavalry gun.

Now the battlefield is littered with corpses from both sides. The body and the war horse without the owner. The fate of these horses was very simple: they were made into horse broth or other food.

The remaining German cavalry followed the example of the lieutenant colonel, and although they suffered the same number of casualties, they were able to kill more of the Soviets.

……

The battle was over, the Soviets were wiped out, and only seven cavalry remained in the German Prussian cavalry brigade, and the cavalry colonel died in the field hospital. Annoyed Soviet soldiers on both sides of the battlefield opened fire on the cavalry. This strict zhòng's obscenity. Blasphemous chivalry.

The last seven cavalrymen were shot and fell.

For the German first-line troops, the last Prussian cavalry disappeared, and from then on the remaining cavalry was transferred to the reconnaissance units and the second-line troops, and the cavalry units never appeared on the first line again.

This was the last cavalry battle in the history of the world, and since then the cavalry has never sprinted in a face-to-face position. This was also the farewell battle of the Prussian cavalry, after which all soldiers who applied to join the cavalry unit were assigned to motorized infantry divisions, and there was no longer the name "Prussian cavalry brigade" on the front.
