Chapter 281: Go Forward! Invincible!

[The fifth watch is completed, and Hengyi completes the additional change plan]

The aerial bombs carried by the Air Force this time are all 250 kilograms, so that each airship can carry a larger number of bombs, which is enough to complete the carpet bombing of Russian positions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In just two minutes, the air force bombed all the Russian positions, the Russian artillery positions were basically destroyed, and the Russian soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

After the Air Force carried out a carpet bombing of the Russian positions, it gave up continuing the bombing, and there would not be much success in bombing again, so it was better to hand it over to the cavalry to deal with.

On the ground, twenty cavalry divisions plus sixty regimental associations rushed towards the Russian positions from four directions.

And the Russian position, after suffering a carpet bombardment, the surviving Russian soldiers, under the command of the officer, quickly entered the combat state, the heavy machine guns that were not blown up were re-erected, and the other soldiers also held their rifles steadily, and once the enemy arrived, they would give them a fatal blow.

The three infantry divisions of the Russian Vanguard Army are not considered the elite army of Russia, but can only be said to be the ordinary level of the Russian regular army, such a unit can still have the courage to fight the upcoming cavalry after a carpet bombardment, I have to say, this is the basis of the strength of the old powers.

It's close! It's close!

At a distance of 1,200 meters from the Russian position, the artillery units of each cavalry division immediately stopped, and in less than ten seconds, the light mortars were set up, and one shell after another flew towards the Russian position.

The positions of the Russian army, which had just been carpet-bombed by airships, were now bombarded by countless mortars.

Twenty cavalry divisions, with a total of hundreds of artillery pieces, fired a shell at the Russian positions every two to three seconds, and the Russian soldiers in the Russian positions who were ready for battle were swallowed up by countless shells.

The Russian army could not imagine how an artillery unit could keep up with the speed of a cavalry unit.

But that's just the way it is.

In just a few tens of seconds, the cavalry got closer and closer to the Russian position, and the surviving Russian soldiers in the Russian position fired at the rushing enemy.

In the cavalry ranks, from time to time, some people were shot and fell off their horses, but the rest were still sprinting towards the Russian positions.

"What are we?"

"Cavalry!"

"Our mission?"

"Go ahead! Invincible! ā€

"Born with glory, die with honor, heart is like my blade, and death is like home!"

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

The artillery fire stopped, and the cavalry rushing to the front raised their submachine guns, while more cavalry drew their shiny sabers.

Da! Da! Da!

The submachine gun rang out, and countless bullets were sprayed on the Russian position, although the accuracy of the submachine gun was not enough, but the submachine gun had a fast rate of fire, and a shuttle of bullets passed, that is, a squad of Russian troops was suppressed, and it was difficult to raise their heads, and the next moment, the cavalry rushed to the Russian position.

"Kill! Not a single one to stay! ā€

Countless sabers were brandished at the Russian positions, and with each swing a Russian soldier fell.

The Russians are taller, but the cavalry is higher and condescending than the Russians on their horses, and all the Russians who fight against the cavalry are either knocked off by the horses or killed by the cavalry, and of course there are Russian soldiers who are shot by submachine guns and pistols, and in this kind of close combat, rifles are useless.

There are too few Russians, there are not enough cavalry points at all, there are still a large number of Russians killed by airships and mortars before, and now five cavalry need to grab a head, and there are 60,000 auxiliary troops behind the cavalry division, they are probably useful in this battle to clean up the battlefield after the war.

Looking at the dense enemy in front of them, the remaining Russian troops had no intention of fighting again, and many Russian soldiers threw their weapons and lay on the ground, hoping to survive.

No Russian soldier chose to flee, because it was surrounded on all sides, how could it escape.

However, the cavalry didn't care whether the Russians surrendered or not, and anyone who saw a living Russian would go up with a sword, which was a war feat, how could they be let go.

There are even Russian soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and they were trampled to death directly by war horses, which is really embarrassing.

The Fourth Route Cavalry finally converged in the middle of the Russian position, looking down on the battlefield, and all the 42,000 Russian vanguard soldiers fell on the battlefield, while the Suzaku Legion lost less than 800 men.

At the end of the battle, twenty cavalry divisions withdrew from the battlefield with the corpses of their comrades, and 60,000 conscripts entered the battlefield and began to clean the battlefield and bury or burn the corpses of the Russian troops.

This was a battle of unequal strength, and the Suzaku Legion easily won a complete victory, completely annihilating the Russian vanguard army with little damage of its own.

Before the Western countries developed advanced airships, the Chinese Empire would have firmly grasped the air supremacy of the battlefield, and the battle would be so simple: airship bombing, artillery bombardment, and cavalry charge.

However, the Russians could not resist the attack of the Suzaku Legion, and perhaps the enemy encountered by the Suzaku Legion in the future would surrender to the Suzaku Legion after two more bombardments, and the Russian vanguard army was already a relatively stubborn army.

In this war, no Russian survived, if the Russians knew that the strength of the Chinese Empire was so strong, even in the face of better advanced equipment that the Russian army could be easily defeated, then the Russians would no longer have any luck, but retreated in the European region, ignoring the Chinese Empire, and only waited for the opportunity to defeat the Chinese Empire in the future and then rushed out of Europe and returned to Asia.

In this relatively large war, the Suzaku Legion was equipped with weapons that showed their power very well, especially submachine guns and light mortars, which were completely killer weapons for cavalry.

With the advent of the age of firearms, the role of cavalry was declining, and in the face of an enemy whose fortified positions were already equipped with a large number of automatic weapons, cavalry charges would only be a dead end.

The Russian Cossack cavalry obviously saw this problem, but the only firearms that the Cossacks could be equipped with were rifles and pistols, and most of the time, these two firearms were not as good as cold weapons, and although the Cossack cavalry was changing, it was clear that this was not completely changed in a short time.

However, the cavalry of the Chinese Empire is different, the cavalry of the Chinese Empire is equipped with a large number of advanced weapons suitable for their own use, with the cooperation of the air force, no matter what kind of battlefield, the cavalry can be competent, and more importantly, the mobility of the cavalry, which can completely drag down any opponent.

No country in the West, including Russia, which was still at war with the Chinese Empire, knew that there was a large-scale battle in northern Asia with more than 200,000 men, and the West was still suffering from a silver crisis.

Since July 1, the Chinese Empire has successfully completed the currency reform, and the silver industry in Western countries has collapsed, and every day merchants who have gone bankrupt because of the collapse of the silver industry commit suicide.

What's more, the silver crisis has spread from the silver industry to other industries, starting with the banking and shipping industries.
