Chapter 16: The Bandit's Path to Advancement III

The panicked Polish cavalryman did not yet know that his most respected brigade commander had died under the hooves of his horse, and he only wanted to escape from the fire net set by the Germans as soon as possible.

He kept turning his horse's head and tried to escape, but he ran into walls everywhere, surrounded on all sides by his comrades, who blocked the way.

He turned his horse's head and decided to flee north, and in that direction, his comrades who were panicked had already stepped out of a flesh and blood road in the minefield with the war horses under his crotch.

They galloped all the way, the mines under their feet exploding all the way, and each explosion sent a rain of blood in the fleeing ranks.

The horses with broken legs and the cavalry that had been thrown off fell on the road, and then they were ruthlessly trampled by the horses that swarmed behind.

The Polish cavalryman rode his horse and galloped on the escape road paved with flesh and blood of his comrades, he didn't know what the soft thing under his horse's feet was, and he didn't know if he had broken out of the minefield, only that he used his horsewhip to whip the horse desperately to make the horse under his crotch run faster.

A string of bullets flew through his back and out of his chest, and the horseman swayed a few times with his whip held high, and his body went limp, and he fell headlong under his horse, and was immediately trampled by countless horses' hooves, turning into a puddle of flesh.

"Keep firing, we can't let them just run away." Chen Dao shouted as he pointed to the cavalrymen who were fleeing with the corpses of their comrades.

"I'm changing the magazine, this damn broken machine gun, there are only 20 rounds in one magazine." Corporal Steiner took one of the magazines handed by Meyer and inserted it cleanly into the machine gun.

After annihilating the Polish 40th Infantry Regiment, the paratroopers captured 118 intact light and heavy machine guns, which Major Schubert unceremoniously used to arm his men in order to deal with a possible surprise attack by the Polish cavalry.

With the reinforcement of these machine guns, coupled with the original machine guns, the number of machine guns in the team of only 4 infantry platoons led by Chen Dao and Chopin was as high as 45.

Corporal Steiner wielded a Polish WZ1928 light machine gun, a Polish copy of the Browning 1918 light machine gun, with a 20-round magazine and the same 7.92 mm ammunition as the Mauser 98K.

Chen Dao and the three of them were crammed into a foxhole, with Corporal Steiner as the archer, Meyer as the deputy marksman, and Chen Dao as the observer, and the three of them had a tacit understanding of harvesting the lives of those Polish cavalrymen on the road.

After replacing the new magazine, Corporal Steiner began a new round of harvesting.

Chen Dao stood to the left of Corporal Steiner and kept pointing out valuable targets to Steiner, and with a "boom", the ground in front of Steiner's right suddenly burst open, and the flying dirt slapped the three of them in the face.

Chen Dao wiped his face and looked at the road in front of him on the right, and found a strange-shaped car emerging from the firelight on the road.

Above the cockpit of the car there was a small turret that kept turning to fire at the paratrooper positions on both sides of the road.

On both sides and behind the car, some Polish cavalrymen who had lost their horses held their guns and bent over with the help of the car as cover and the paratroopers on both sides fired at each other.

"Over there, the Poles' cars." Chen Dao pointed to the car and shouted.

Corporal Steiner shook his head, shook the dirt off his head and face, turned his gun and swept towards the car.

"Dangdang Dang ・・・・・・" bullets hit the car and splashed countless dazzling fires, Corporal Steiner saw that it was an armored car, hesitated slightly, and the muzzle of the gun turned to the tires of the armored car, and after a few shots, the armored car stopped, only the turret was still turning and firing.

The tenacious style of the armored vehicle managed to attract the attention of the paratrooper anti-tank group, at least 3 anti-tank guns of the PZB38 type were pointed at it at the same time, and in a few seconds, 3 hard tungsten core shells pierced the poor armor of the armored vehicle.

Soon, dazzling flames erupted from all the cracks on the armored car, and with a loud bang, the turret of the armored car flew into the air, the body was torn apart, and countless pieces of iron flew out, piercing into the bodies of the Polish soldiers around the armored car.

At least 10 Polish soldiers fell under the force of the armored vehicle's ammunition explosion, and Chen Dao was dumbfounded.

The appearance of the second armored car brought Chen Dao to his senses, and before Chen Dao could react, the armored car also followed in the footsteps of his comrades and was blown up by the anti-tank team of the paratroopers.

Two side-by-side burning armored vehicles blocked the road, and also blocked the escape path of the cavalry behind, and the cavalry could only jump off the road on horseback to bypass the two armored vehicles to escape.

Chen Dao stared at the two burning armored vehicles, and instantly summed up two battlefield experiences in his heart, don't get too close to the destroyed armored vehicles, they may be martyred; Destroyed armored vehicles can be used to block roads・・・・・・

What is that? Chen Dao turned his eyes in surprise to the east side of the road, where there was also a platoon of German troops, and their task was to form a crossfire with the German troops on the west side of the road to kill and injure the Polish troops, and at this time they fell into another bitter battle.

The Polish army marched in a long line, the number of paratroopers was limited, and their firepower could not cover all the Polish cavalry.

After the ambush began, the cavalry of the Polish cavalry in the rear did not come under attack, and they went around the high ground on both sides under the leadership of the officer to make a counter-assault on the paratroopers who were in ambush.

"Quick, support the other side." Chen Dao patted Corporal Steiner on the shoulder, and then pointed to the other side of the road.

Steiner then pointed his gun across the road to support the paratroopers on the east side of the road.

After instructing Corporal Steiner, Chen Dao picked up his submachine gun and turned his head to the south.

Since the Polish cavalry was able to rush to the high ground on the east side of the eastern road, it could rush to its own side.

Chen Dao looked south from the foxhole for a while, and sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry charging from the south.

"Meyer, watch the back." Chen Dao shouted.

Meyer turned his head to spot the cavalrymen, picked up the rifles on the ground, fired a shot, threw them to the ground, and then took out the pistols at his waist and shot at the charging cavalry.

Chen Daoyi pulled the bolt of his gun to load the bullet, and raised his hand to knock down the horses of several cavalrymen who rushed to him.

Seeing another cavalryman rushing towards him, Chen Dao turned the muzzle of the gun and pointed at the cavalryman and pulled the trigger, and there was a click in the chamber of the gun.

There were no bullets, Chen Dao looked at the cavalry who was charging, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down the upper edge of the steel helmet to his right eye, and under the stimulation of sweat, Chen Dao's vision became blurred.

In the haze, Chen Dao saw the cavalryman holding the spear in his backhand rushing towards him like a wind, and threw the spear with a shaking hand, and the spear came straight to his chest with a vicious wind・・・・・・

Meyer raised his hand and shot the cavalryman to death, but he couldn't stop the cavalryman from throwing his spear before he died, and glanced at Chen Dao anxiously, and Meyer's gaze instantly froze.

"Major!" A terrible scream rang out, louder than the sound of Steiner's shot.

Corporal Steiner turned his head to look at Chen Dao, and then his eyes suddenly widened, and the muscles on his face were twisted and deformed.

A spear pierced through his chest and nailed Chen Dao to the foxhole・・・・・・
