Chapter Fifty-Six: Attack Across the River
After the heavy machine-gun positions were destroyed by the Polish cavalry, the Soviet troops that were resisting in front were completely unable to withstand the onslaught of the Polish troops. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The Polish army, which was attacking, saw that its general led the cavalry to assault the opponent's back, and all of them were demoralized, and they frantically rushed into the positions of the Soviet army, holding bayonets, spears, sabers and other weapons in a white-knuckle battle, killing the Soviet army and retreating one after another.
The Polish cavalry galloped on horseback, shouted loudly, raised their sabers, and slashed at the defenseless Soviet soldiers with their backs exposed. One by one, the Soviet soldiers were holding spears and fighting the rushing Polish infantry, and they were cut off by the cavalry rushing from behind, and some were directly stopped by the fast horses and flew out. Some astute Soviet soldiers looked back and were stabbed in the chest by the Polish infantry who were fighting against them, and they were very unwilling to die. The officers who were in command were the priority targets of the cavalry.
The Polish cavalry broke through the positions of the Soviet soldiers in one sitting, inflicting hundreds of casualties on their thousand-man ranks, and the Polish infantry took the opportunity to kill them and retreat.
The soldiers of this supplementary battalion of the Soviets finally lost the courage to fight completely, and fled behind them regardless of the enemy in front of them, and the remaining Soviet officers could no longer control the newly recruited soldiers. Several officers glanced at the crowd formed by the rout, and ran with them in the direction of the main camp by the river.
The cavalry came to the position of the Polish infantry and turned around, and a few of the unfortunate ones who were seriously wounded immediately dismounted and rested, while the rest of the cavalry followed General Vilko into three columns and lined up in horizontal formations about ten meters apart, and pursued the Soviet soldiers who fled towards the river.
The Polish infantry and cavalry followed the deserters and hunted them indiscriminately, especially the cavalry rushing back and forth, killing and wounding many deserters. Soviet soldiers could outrun the Polish infantry, but they could outrun the horse's hooves. A group of cavalry marched up in formation, and after one or two charges, they cut a group of deserters to the ground without any defense.
Occasionally, a few strong Soviet soldiers heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching behind them, and they were unwilling to be restrained and turned back desperately, but they were soon drowned in the rushing horses, and the smoke and dust dispersed, leaving only corpses on the ground.
After chasing nearly a thousand meters, they came to a kilometer away from the main Soviet battalion by the river, where the main Soviet battalion had lined up their lines by the river, and two heavy machine guns began to shoot at the Polish cavalry that was chasing them. Kilometers later, all the bullets landed in the open space next to them.
"Let's withdraw!" General Vilko said, brandishing his blood-stained saber.
One by one, the surrounding Polish cavalry gave up the pursuit and retreated.
"If we didn't have a heavy machine gun, we would be a hundred people who would have been able to drive these guys into the river to feed the fish!" A Polish cavalryman boasted.
"How many did you kill?" A cavalryman asked.
"Four!"
"Six!"

The surrounding cavalry raised their bright red sabers to show off.
General Vilko raised his binoculars and quietly watched as the main Soviet battalion attacking the Polish positions by the river began to retreat and began to deploy along the riverside road.
The Polish infantry in the rear also began to follow, collecting the weapons and other trophies left behind by the Soviet soldiers.
"General, this battle is really happy! Everyone's morale is very high, let's rush over and destroy them in one go! An officer with blood on his face ran over and said.
"Wipe the blood off your face!" General Vilko dismounted.
The officer smiled and wiped his face with his sleeve.
"You have to use your brains more in the big war, they are now the turtle in the urn, and they can't be pushed too hard. There are about a thousand more people there, machine guns and men are ready, just waiting for us to attack, how many lives are we going to take to attack it? General Vilko said solemnly: "The infantry retreated to the hilly area to set up defenses, and it was enough to keep them firmly under guard and hold the back of our hillside defenses. The cavalry follow me! Go find out the enemy's artillery for me and get rid of it. ”
Just as General Vilko led the cavalry in pursuit, Koval led his troops to rush to the battlefield when he heard the rumbling of cannonballs, and immediately became anxious, he did not know how long General Vilko's troops could hold up under the enemy's shells.
"Can you find the enemy's artillery and kill them?" Koval asked at Ivanovsky.
Ivanovsky said helplessly: "The opposite side is full of rolling hills, and the enemy's artillery positions are blocked by small hills and trees, and I can't determine their location." Even if I could tell where they were by the smoke from when they were fired, our cannon might have been hit without even touching their edges. They don't stay still. ”
Koval abandoned the idea of destroying the enemy's artillery, looked at the battlefield with a telescope and found that Soviet troops were on both sides of the riverside position. scolded secretly: How can you cross the river?
At this moment, he spotted the scene of the cavalry on the opposite side chasing the Soviet soldiers, and immediately had a flash of inspiration.
All the troops, under his command, quickly began to establish positions a hundred meters from the river on the opposite bank of the main Soviet battalion, which had come to the rescue. Most of the Soviet soldiers were nervously staring at the Polish cavalry approaching on the south side and the hillside positions along the river, and did not notice movement on the opposite bank.
Two minutes later, light and heavy machine guns and artillery had been positioned, and the infantry had moved into combat positions.
"Finish off the machine gun first, and let me shoot the cannon into the crowded." Koval commanded.
At the sound of the order, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns sprayed bullets at the main Soviet battalion on the other side of the river, and the infantry also aimed their rifles at their targets. The cannon also began to explode in the crowd opposite.
The enemy turned their backs to Koval's troops unsuspectingly, and artillery shells and machine-gun bullets set off a storm of blood in the crowd opposite. The armies on both sides are only separated by two or three hundred meters, and the enemy is like a dense human target, even ordinary soldiers can easily hit the enemy, and the soldiers of the shooter squad can only hit one shot with a few bullets.
The troops of the main Soviet battalion, completely stunned by this sudden, stormy blow, fled in all directions, looking for suitable places to hide from the dense bullets. Some of the officers stood up and tried to greet the soldiers, but immediately became obvious targets and were shot dead by the shooters on the opposite bank. The heavy machine guns of the Soviet army became a forbidden place, and many corpses were densely packed around it, and a strong man bravely rushed forward, trying to move the machine gun to return fire, but was immediately hit by several bullets at the same time, lying next to the machine gun.
PS: I saw that many book friends didn't know that it was written about World War II when they saw "Immortal Poland", so they wanted to change their name, and I felt that it was a bit secondary at first.
Changed to: What about the rise of Poland in 1918?
