In offensive and defensive operations, firepower density and mobility are always a contradictory existence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the entire era of cold weapons, the highest firepower density is the repeating crossbow, and such equipment is not enough to fight against the highly mobile cavalry troops, so in any country, the cavalry is the most powerful troop.

At the beginning, Temujin, relying on a group of light cavalry, was able to conquer the Quartet and create a huge empire, if there was Makqin at that time, there was no room for him to exert himself, and the Song Dynasty could break through the strong cavalry corps of Temujin as long as he placed Makqin on the border.

During the First World War, the cavalry was already very restricted, and charging at the enemy's machine-gun position was simply looking for death, which objectively led to the emergence of tanks as a weapon.

However, the army will always be a conservative branch of the army, and many people will hold on to everything in the past, especially the soldiers who have built great achievements with cavalry.

Among them, Poland is included.

For Poland, cavalry, has been in their army for hundreds of years!

As early as the beginning of the 16th century, the local Polish hussars put on armor and wings to replace the heavy knights who had begun to quietly retire from the battlefield.

Later, it evolved into the Lancers, a class that originated in Poland and was equipped with their own guns, which were a powerful weapon that quickly annihilated enemy troops.

Moreover, in the XIX century, the Polish Guards Grenadier and the Guards Polish Lancers were the only two regiments of all Napoleon's cavalry units that were never defeated by enemy cavalry.

In that year, several hundred Polish lancers attacked a Spanish artillery position that even an infantry division could not reach, and won the battle. became their splendor.

Even in modern times, the Polish cavalry is still their pride.

For example, nearly twenty years ago, the Battle of Camoro at the end of the Polish-Soviet War. It can be said to be the largest cavalry battle since 1813.

The 1st Cavalry Corps of the Soviet Union, under the command of Semyon-Budyonny, went to support the retreating Soviet troops. At Camoro, near Zamošić, the Polish cavalry defeated the Soviet cavalry, and the famous 1st Cavalry Army suffered a devastating blow.

At that time, it was already the most glorious time for the Polish cavalry.

And by World War II, the Polish cavalry was completely outdated.

Therefore, in later generations, there was a lot of literature, as well as illustrations, saying that the Polish cavalry was holding a saber to cut tanks, in fact, this is absolutely apocryphal, and a fool knows that cavalry can't beat tanks.

Moreover, although conservative, the Polish cavalry is also advancing with the times, for example, the Polish cavalry brigade is equipped with tanks. For example, in a cavalry regiment, there will be a tank company.

It's just that the performance of their tanks is far inferior to the German Panther tanks!

At this time, in the small Polish border city of Mokla, the Polish Volšnian cavalry brigade in Poland was hurriedly making preparations.

Mokra is the first stop of the Trans-European International Railway into southern Poland, to the west is the German Silesian industrial area, and to the east is the Polish town of Lodz, which can be called the choke point of transportation, and the Polish cavalry brigade is deployed here.

They also hurried into battle, and when the sound of artillery fire came from the border, the brigade commander Felippovic immediately gathered his troops, and as the commander of the cavalry unit stationed here, he was very familiar with Mokla.

It is difficult to use cavalry to stop the attack of the opponent's armored forces, and he must make effective use of the surrounding environment.

To the west of Mokla, with the exception of the transnational railway line, there was almost all dense jungle, with many streams and ditches in the middle of the woods, and the conditions here were very suitable to limit the movement of the German mechanized troops.

So, if you want to defend Mokla, you have to defend the western jungle of Mokla and resist with the help of favorable terrain!

The German bombardment could not affect the area, and in a short time, Felipovitz quickly dispatched his 4 cavalry regiments, 1 tank battalion and 1 artillery battalion to the vicinity of the woods.

The 19th Cavalry Regiment was located in the northern sector, the 21st Cavalry Regiment in the central sector, and the southern sector was reinforced by the 4th Battalion and 7th Machine Gun Battalion of the 84th Infantry Regiment from nearby.

In the rear of these units were the 37-mm cannons and 75-mm mountain guns of the 2nd Artillery Battalion attached to the cavalry brigade.

At the same time, Felippowicz left the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, the 12th Cavalry Regiment and the 21st Tank Battalion as reserves.

What excites him the most is that last night, the armored train codenamed "53" just entered the station of Mokla, and he immediately requisitioned it, relying on this armored train, he can have more fire support! Maneuver along the Ring Road and hit the Germans by surprise!

Thanks to Felippowitz's usual experience, his troop deployment this time proceeded quite quickly!

Even so, when he had just set up the army, in front, there was the sound of motorcycles!

"Buzz, buzz." A three-wheeled BMW motorcycle with a sidecar, the engine roaring, and on the motorcycle, scouts of the skeleton division in SS uniforms were scanning the woods in front of them with sharp eyes.

If you want to occupy Mokra, you have to go through the woods in front of you, and if you want to pass through the woods in front of you, you have to scout the situation here!

Scout Gretel, sitting on the sidecar, in front of him, there was an MG34 light machine gun, his body, as the motorcycle jolted, all the way over, his body was about to fall apart.

However, his will was high, the great Führer, assassinated by the Poles, as a fighter of the SS, avenging the Führer, was their only mission!

Underneath the sidecar, there is also a radio station, and when he encounters a situation, he can quickly get in touch with the main forces in the rear.

His motorcycle, rushed to the front, behind him, there were three or four more motorcycles, and behind the motorcycles, three wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

The 8*8 off-road chassis gives the wheeled infantry fighting vehicle a good battlefield adaptability, and at the same time, the wheeled chassis is fast and has low fuel consumption, so after equipping the armored division, soon, the armored division will take out some of it and use it as reconnaissance equipment.

In contrast to motorcycles, which can only be equipped with machine guns, this wheeled chassis carries a small turret with a 37 mm gun on it, which can also provide artillery support in case of a situation!

It's getting closer and closer to the woods in front of you!

"Hit!" At this moment, the voice of a Polish commander sounded from the opposite side.

Here, it was the defense area of the Polish 21st Cavalry Regiment, and they had already discovered the German scouts who had touched it, and they did not fire immediately, but put it closer and then fight!

Beat! With the voice of the commander of the cavalry regiment, the WZ30 heavy machine gun, the first to fire, 7.92 mm machine gun bullets, roared towards the German scouts on this side, pouring over!
