Chapter 422: Fierce battle in Changxindian

On the outskirts of the capital, Changxin shop.

In half a day, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Hubei army launched several fierce attacks on the field positions of a regiment of the garrison division of the Huaxia Army and the guard regiment of the General Staff here.

However, under the artillery fire of the Huaxia army and the fire of light and heavy machine guns and rifles, the Hubei army had almost nothing to gain except for the hundreds of corpses, let alone rush up to touch the walls of the capital.

Relying on their own strength, the Hubei army took advantage of the rapid mobility of the cavalry to bypass the field position of Changxindian again and rush in the direction of the capital, but still encountered a strong interception.

The opponent intercepted this time was no longer the infantry, but the 4th Cavalry Division of the Huaxia Army that had rushed back from the Northeast Theater.

The Fourth Cavalry Division was too lazy to build a field position like an infantry, but directly lined up on the spot to meet the swarming Hubei cavalry.

Seeing the cavalry of the Huaxia Army dispatched, there was a commotion in the formation of the Hubei army.

"Haha, the cavalry of the yellow-skinned monkey has finally appeared!"

"The cavalry of the yellow-skinned monkeys? Can anyone ride a horse with a yellow-skinned monkey? ”

"Looking at the posture, I guess I can ride a horse like a Cossack child!"

"Fortunately, the cavalry of the yellow-skinned monkey doesn't seem to be much, at most more than 10,000 people!"

The commander of the Hubei army was impatient, drew his saber, and shouted: "Young men, rush over and kill all these yellow-skinned monkeys who can ride horses!" ”

Amid the tsunami-like cheers of "Ula", 20,000 or 30,000 Hubei cavalry launched a charge.

Zhan Wenjia, the division commander in the formation of the Fourth Cavalry Division, sneered and ordered: "Just follow the kind of fighting style in Vladivostok to destroy this Hubei cavalry!" ”

In the battle of Vladivostok, the 4th Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division together defeated the 100,000 cavalry of the 2nd Army in the Far East, and now they have been completely reborn.

The Hubei army charged like locusts flying in the sky, the sound of horses' hooves shook the mountain, and the sound of wild roars was even more disgusting.

However, the officers and men of the 4th Cavalry Division appeared very calm.

"Why didn't these yellow-skinned monkeys even pull out their sabers? Haven't they really been trained in cavalry combat?"Some careful Hubei troops saw something ominous in their busy schedules of charging.

Many Hubei troops discovered this strange situation, but the cavalry charge could not allow a few people to stop, and all the Hubei cavalry could only rush with the brigade.

"A hundred meters, fire!" Zhan Wenjia watched the Hubei cavalry rush into the distance line that had already been marked on the ground, waved his hand, and gave the order to fire.

The formation of the 4th Cavalry Division immediately dodged, revealing hidden cavalry guns, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns, and together with the submachine guns in the hands of the cavalry, they fired fiercely at the Hubei cavalry.

In the furious rain of bullets, a wave of blood splashed in the formation of the Hubei army that was swarming and charging, and countless men and horses fell to the ground like wood.

"Do these yellow-skinned monkeys have magic?" The generals of the Hubei army who commanded behind the battle were so shocked that their eyes fell out, but when they raised their binoculars, they clearly saw that the Huaxia army was using guns and cannons to bombard their own side, but the rate of fire in it was really beyond the imagination of the Oros officers.

After the bombardment broke up the Hubei army's charging formation, Zhan Wenjia commanded light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns to continue to block the Hubei army's scattered charging formation, while the cavalry artillery immediately extended its fire forward to bombard the Hubei army's subsequent echelon.

In the rumbling cannon, the noble generals of the Hubei army, out of a kind of aristocratic self-esteem, wore gorgeous and dazzling general uniforms, and of course became the primary target.

A few cannons came, and the generals of the Hubei army rode their horses to dodge in disgrace, which made the follow-up echelons suddenly chaotic.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhan Wenjia asked the signal corps around him to immediately launch signal flares and order the cavalry of the whole division to charge the enemy.

When the cavalry of the Huaxia Army charged, they also used light machine guns and submachine guns to open the way, while the sabre, the main weapon of the general cavalry, became an auxiliary tool for killing the enemy.

The Cossack cavalry of the Hubei army can be regarded as having seen the world, but they have never seen this kind of fighting, and they have ridden their horses in horror to dodge, this dodge happens to violate the taboo of cavalry combat: expose their backs to the enemy!

The cavalry of the Huaxia Army firmly seized the great opportunity and used submachine guns and light machine guns to chase and kill, beating the fleeing Cossack cavalry all the way.

When the cavalry of the following Hubei army heard of the defeat of their own vanguard troops, they immediately rushed to help in the battle, and the infantry of the surrounding Huaxia Army also rushed to assist when they saw this, and together with the 4th Cavalry Division, the Hubei army was defeated and fled.

However, more and more Hubei troops came up from behind, and the generals of the Hubei army went crazy and ordered to launch wave after wave of fierce charges against the positions of the Huaxia army, but no matter how they charged, the fierce and fearless Hubei army was defeated by the Chinese army infantry and cavalry in waves and collapsed.

When the sun was setting, looking from outside the battlefield, I could only see the corpses of the Hubei army everywhere, and the Huaxia army's position was still spraying strong firepower.

At the same time, the Left Route Army of the Hubei Army, under the personal command of Nicholas, was also stubbornly blocked by the Huaxia Army like the Right Route Army, and paid a great price for every step forward.

Nicholas originally judged that since his army had appeared near the capital of China, the newly founded Chinese Empire must have panicked, and perhaps the royal family of the Chinese Empire would be overthrown by the original Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

But I didn't expect the Huaxia army to be so tenacious and stubbornly blocked the advance of its own army.

The chief of staff of the Baikal Front of the Ebykal Army, Brodaevsky, was a very quick man, and he quickly put forward countermeasures to the new situation on the battlefield:

"Commander, I suggest that our two-way army, take advantage of the rapid maneuvering of cavalry, quickly unfold, infiltrate the flanks of the enemy's position, first give this Chinese capital a half-moon-shaped encirclement, force the people in the encirclement to flee one after another, let its reinforcements from all over the country be blocked by the flow of refugees on the road, and then we will turn the half-moon-shaped encirclement into a full moon-shaped encirclement, completely cut off the connection between the capital and the outside world, and wait for our infantry and artillery to arrive, and immediately attack the city, and lay the victory in the first battle."

Nicholas strongly asked for the post of chief of staff of the Baikal Front because he admired Brodaevsky very much, and after a little thought about his proposal, he felt that it was feasible:

"This plan is very good, so let's implement it like this! But at this point, we have to use another backup plan! ”

"You mean the pigtail pigtail pigtail crowd that is moving with our army is going to be released!"

"Yes, I didn't plan to use it, but now our enemies are so stubborn, it doesn't hurt to use them, anyway, these men with a pig's tail on the back of their heads are really useless except to be puppets!" (To be continued.) )
