Chapter 727: Sentinel Battle 3

"We seized the main forces of the Germans, and we did not expect them to move so quickly and so boldly, that on the third day after the start of the battle, their troops were already deeply wedged in the air raids of our Fifth and Sixth Armies, and we exhausted one of our divisions with a very sharp offensive. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info More and more troops are starting to gather here, and we will soon have a decisive battle with our opponent that will shock the world. In a telegram to the base camp, Grand Duke Nikolaevich wrote.

Such a telegram was sent to the Russian base camp, although the Russians were surprised by the early engagement of the two sides, but it was impossible to feel how much pressure was in front of the battlefield, and the telegram was quickly shelved, and at this time in the eyes of the Russian high-level the most important battlefield was the great battle with Austria-Hungary in the direction of Galicia, and the four armies on both sides were engaged in a fierce offensive battle.

When the sun rose again, the next two Russian cavalry divisions had already arrived on the battlefield, and when the commander of the 8th Cavalry Division, Colonel Habayev, arrived at the position, the first thing that caught his eye was the long convoy of wounded soldiers waiting to evacuate to the rear.

"I reckon these wounded soldiers together have a regiment!" Colonel Khabaev said with a slight exaggeration.

"Mr. Colonel, take your troops from the flanks to attack the enemy's flanks and rear to relieve our pressure, their fire is so fierce that the front is almost insoluble for our current firepower and troops, my troops attract their attention, and you attack from the flanks and rear." Gross said. In less than a day of fighting yesterday, he lost three full battalions of troops, plus other troops, Gross had already put in more than three percent of the infantry troops, and without additional reinforcements, Gross doubted that he would be able to hold out until the third day.

"We have at least 2 German divisions in front of us, and maybe more in the back." Gross said this in a telegram to Shangfeng. He guessed correctly, but to his surprise, there was only about 1 regiment in charge of attacking him.

The 8th Cavalry Division soon set out, and the Cossacks, armed with sabers, smoothly passed the flanks of the position and then pounced on the transport lines in the rear. However, these nomadic cavalrymen who were accustomed to robbing houses sprayed a scene that they would never forget.

With a click, with the sound of the spring reset, a complete 12.7mm machine gun cartridge belt was connected to the 12.7mm machine gun. As Sergeant Lorcan gripped the handle at the back of the machine gun, a sense of satisfaction arose that as a veteran who had been with the machine gun for 5 years, this large-caliber machine gun was a part of his life! It's a continuation of his limbs, but before that, he and his old buddies never really played a role, but this time, it's different! Ten minutes earlier, the Rangers in charge of reconnaissance had signaled that a Russian cavalry was loitering nearby, and the target was supposed to be his convoy, which consisted of more than 30 wagons and more than a dozen trucks, responsible for transporting food and weapons to the front line.

Bavaria's logistics units are different from other troops, first of all, although they do not have heavy weapons such as mortars and howitzers, they even have more machine guns and semi-automatic rifles than the front-line troops, because Bavaria generally does not arrange escort troops for logistics baggage troops, on the one hand, because Bavaria needs to accumulate as many soldiers as possible to go to the front line, and on the other hand, because the baggage troops themselves have strong combat effectiveness.

Secondly, the baggage troops have a large number of personnel engaged in the field of mechanical processing, if the Bavarian army has the highest level of technology, except for the armored troops, it is the transport unit of the baggage troops, and there are no wheeled trucks, half-tracks, tractors, and tractors that they do not come into contact with. And in order to save their lives, these personnel will naturally perform magic changes on the guys in their hands, for example, the escort truck nicknamed the Brute Bull that Sergeant Lorcan rode in is one of the classics.

The entire body cockpit and engine parts are protected by welded steel plates, which are 5 to 8 mm thick enough to completely reduce the attack of bullets and shrapnel, and the tires in the front of the hull are also covered by steel plates, and the rear is a track with a circle of skirt plates. The Brute Bull half-track, converted into a convoy truck, was not equipped with transport supplies, but was fully equipped with armor and ammunition. Its main armament was a twin 12.7mm machine gun attached to a ring gun mount, in addition to two grenadiers at the rear of the hull, and three semi-automatic rifles and two submachine guns stored in the compartment gave the truck plenty of melee firepower.

In the distance, the Cossack cavalry appeared in loose formation in the wilderness, and these harassing cavalrymen could not have carried artillery and mortars. Carrying a few machine guns was the limit, but the Cossacks were still confident, because their ancestors had repeatedly routed various troops, neither Napoleon the Great's guards nor the Turks' cavalry could stop them.

The German soldiers began to prepare for battle, and the soldiers with this rifle formed a loose line of defense around machine gun positions and armored vehicles, and the Russians naturally could not let the opponent's defense line form before attacking, and under the guidance of the commander, more than 200 cavalry launched the first wave of attacks!

Years of fighting also taught the Cossacks new tactics, the only few machine guns were deployed on the sides to cover the shooting, some of the cavalry dismounted as infantry, and some of the cavalry looked for opportunities to break the opponent's weak points, and to the surprise of these Cossacks, they faced the transport troops actually began to suppress the fire from 1200 meters away, and the high-powered bullets of the 12.7mm machine gun had a very good long-range trajectory. And it has a strong ability to penetrate. A machine gun crew has just been erected, and a 12.7mm machine gun bullet easily penetrates the shield on the front of the machine gun and then cuts off the soldiers behind it! At this time, the distance between the two sides is about 1 kilometer!

The experienced machine gunners used the power of the large-caliber machine guns in their hands to the extreme, and the powerful and accurate point fire brought great pressure to the Russians, and when the Russian cavalry charged, the Brute even rushed out of the formation and launched a counter-charge against the Russian cavalry in front of them!

The cavalry could not use rifles when charging, they could only use spears or sabers, and after the threat of firearms, when the two sides were less than 300 meters apart, 2 50 machine guns and a large number of submachine guns launched a massacre against the oncoming cavalry! The armored vehicles like steel monsters made a bloody path in the opponent's formation, and both horses and soldiers in front of them were shattered by the dense bullets and savage ramming. In just a few minutes, the originally neat reunion formation was knocked to pieces, and the spears and sabers of the old era were so powerless in the face of the new weapons!
