Chapter 369: Cavalry Charge

The Heilongjiang Right Detachment of the Hubei Army was commanded by Gribsky, with a total of more than 11,000 infantry, more than 23,000 cavalry, 12 76-mm howitzers, 24 57-mm field guns, and 38 37-mm cavalry guns.

When forcibly crossing the Heilongjiang River, Gribsky ordered 74 artillery pieces to bombard the opposite bank, but the Huaxia army did not respond, and after crossing the Heilongjiang River, they only encountered a few miscellaneous men and horses of 100 men and horses with some muskets and single-shot rifles on the road, and fired a burst of bullets at the Hubei army from outside the firing range, and then dispersed in a hurry.

The Hubei army felt that it was not surprising that this was the true level of the yellow army, and the Jiangdong Division of Jiangdong Liushitun was some unreasonable freaks, and it was estimated that it was because of the enchantment that they would resist so desperately. This time, in a roundabout way, all the people in Jiangdong must be wiped out. As long as the yellow people who resisted in Jiangdong 64tun are eliminated, the whole of China will be a hunting ground for Oros warriors to gallop in the future.

With such understanding and thinking, the Hubei army has no vigilance from top to bottom.

However, Gribsky, the commander of the Heilongjiang Right Detachment of the Hubei Army, had a little strange feeling about the strong contrast between the fierce resistance of the 64th Tun in Jiangdong and the scattered resistance here, but as the Hubei Army advanced triumphantly, he didn't have too many ideas.

In fact, Gribsky had already had an idea, he wanted to be the commander of the right detachment, that is, he fell in love with the cavalry of the right detachment, and he could attack and retreat, and if he fought well, he would definitely take a lot of credit, and if the battle did not go well, he would also run away.

Based on this thinking, Gribsky simply asked for more scout cavalry to be sent out to reconnoitre, and no more arrangements were made.

Who knows, after these scouts rushed out, they only cared about searching the houses for property and women, and neglected to reconnoiter the battlefield, planting a curse for the annihilation of the whole army.

After crossing the river, the right detachment rushed forward for a day, but did not meet any major resistance, and made contact with the outpost reconnaissance cavalry of the left detachment that night, and it was estimated that it would be able to join the right detachment at noon the next day and complete the complete encirclement of the 64 tuns in Jiangdong.

At this time, the whole army felt that this operation was no different from going out to do some small things, but it was necessary to walk a little and not spend much effort to complete the task.

The whole right detachment was filled with an atmosphere of thinking about how to rob the yellow-skinned monkeys to make a fortune, and that night thousands of Hubei troops scattered out to look for villages and wanted to rob.

However, in the villages near here, except for a few old and young remnants of the Eight Banners who dreamed of entering the Central Plains with the Hubei army, the rest of the villages had already been fortified and cleared in accordance with the requirements of the Huaxia Army, and there was really nothing to fish.

These outgoing Hubei troops tossed all night, except for robbing a few households and eight banners, they did not reap any benefits, but they ended up exhausted.

And most of the Hubei soldiers also barely slept all night, because they caught hundreds of Eight Banner women who did not escape, and played in turns all night.

The next morning, Gribsky, who was anxious to make atonement for his meritorious service to the Tsar, demanded an immediate sortie, regardless of the fatigue of tens of thousands of horses.

Today's operation was no different from yesterday at the beginning, and the right detachment did not meet resistance, which made even the outpost reconnaissance cavalry lazy, and it was supposed to go ten kilometers forward to reconnoitre, but it only walked less than four kilometers.

After three poles in the sun, suddenly a reconnaissance cavalry found that a long line of loess in front of it was turned over, which was obviously a hand-built ground business, and there were dozens of people who looked like sentries dangling around, and saw the arrival of the Hubei army from a distance, and quickly hidden.

The reconnaissance cavalry of the Hubei army rushed over, and immediately gunfire rang out from the opposite side, killing and wounding several reconnaissance cavalry of the Hubei army on the spot.

The gunfire alarmed the commanding officer of the outpost, and Colonel Bolev, who was at the forefront of the cavalry, rode his horse out of range and used his binoculars to observe for a while, and then ordered without hesitation: "Young men, it must be the fortifications dug by the yellow-skinned monkeys, rush over and kill them and rob them of their money."

Hearing that there was money to rob, thousands of Hubei cavalry roared and rode their horses to charge.

Thousands of cavalry charged with sabers, and from a distance, they saw the figures of men and horses rolling, raising huge dust on the dry ground, which was very spectacular.

From the outside, the Huaxia Army's position was quiet, but the soldiers had long been lying motionless in their combat positions with weapons in hand, aiming at the enemy.

The Hubei army rushed to a distance of fifty meters, and a row of men and horses in front of them fell suddenly.

It turned out that this was the Huaxia army dug a trap well and a horse rope, covered it with floating soil, and when the cavalry rushed quickly, it was not clear at all, but once it was encountered, a large number of men and horses in front fell on the spot.

At this time, the horse's speed has been mentioned to the highest, and if he falls, he will either break his intestines on the spot, or his muscles and bones will be broken, and he will die on the spot if he is unlucky.

The cavalry charge was suddenly stunned.

Colonel Bolev, who was following behind the command, chuckled in his heart and said: There is an ambush......

Before the colonel could give any effective orders, the weapons of the Huaxia army were fired, and rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars, recoilless guns, and infantry guns poured into the Hubei cavalry charging formation like raindrops.

At this time, the cavalry of the Hubei army happened to be crowded together, and the dense rain of bullets instantly enveloped this unlucky Hubei army forward team.

The screams of centaurs, gunfires, and cannons formed a symphony of intersecting death, and blood, centaur bones, and dust flew into the sky together.

In the first wave, more than 1,000 cavalry charged, and in less than ten minutes, they lost ninety percent, and the remnants fled back with less than 100 men.

When Gribsky heard that something like this had happened to the striker, he was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall out, and he subconsciously ordered without thinking: "Charge, charge all at once, and crush the positions of these damned yellow-skinned monkeys!" ”

The power of more than 20,000 cavalry charging at the same time was very amazing.

Looking from the position of the Huaxia Army, I saw that between the sky, there were all human and horse figures mixed with waving flashing sword lights, rolling up huge dust and rising into the sky.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater, Liang Kunri, also came to the vicinity of the battlefield, he held a telescope and watched the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and sneered: "Okay, I want to see if their horse flesh is hard, or our bullets and shells are harder?" ”

More than 20,000 cavalry of the Hubei army, except for one-third of the reserve, the rest of the men and horses were all pressed.

The Huaxia army still waited for the cavalry of the Hubei army to rush to a distance of fifty meters and was stagnant by the obstacle before they suddenly began to shoot together.

Countless bullets rained down on the black-pressed Hubei army, splashing huge blood-colored waves! (To be continued.) )
