Chapter 1543: A Thrilling Night (I)
Just after two o'clock in the morning, the military camp west of the city of Ust-Kamen. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Sleeping in a daze, An Yi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a faint roar, and suddenly a spirit turned over from the bed and sat up, Shen Fengdao had already alertly pushed open the door and walked into the room, An Yi nodded to him, and then listened attentively. At this time, the guards had all gotten up, came to An Yi's room, pulled out the pistol in the holster on his waist, and listened carefully.
"Boom-"
The voice was getting louder and clearer.
"Boomβ"
Inside the tent, the shelves with clothes began to shake, and the earth shook violently.
An Yi and Shen Fengdao glanced at each other, and the two quickly tilted their heads and lay on the ground with their ears sideways.
"Knock-"
The loud and clear sound suddenly poured into the ears of the two of them, and the huge vibration sound made people's hearts tremble.
"Earthquake?" An Yi blurted out.
"Not really!"
Shen Fengdao shook his head, and then said with some uncertainty: "It's like the sound of cows, horses or animals running, such as is-"
Before Shen Fengdao's words fell, the sound of "boom" was already so loud that it was deafening, and the earth trembled more and more violently, and then, the bed board in An Yi's room also began to tremble.
"Cavalry!"
An Yi exclaimed in surprise almost at the same time as Shen Fengdao.
That's right, it must be cavalry! Although he had the experience of fighting cavalry many times during the Northern Expedition and the enemy against the Japanese army, he had never encountered cavalry of this size, so that he had never thought about cavalry before.
The sirens in the barracks sounded, "Assemble! Meet the enemy! The officers on night duty outside began to shout loudly.
An Yi straightened his clothes, walked out of the room with Shen Fengdao, through the long corridor, and came to the playground outside, everything in front of him made An Yi very pleased, the soldiers did not panic and jumped around, they were gathering in formation, and then under the leadership of the officer, they quickly drove out of the camp and went to the trenches dug in advance around the barracks to meet the enemy.
Many of the officers shouted loudly, and although many of the soldiers were hurrying around looking for their ranks, the soldiers clutched their weapons tightly while their faces were panicked. Seeing this, An Yi took a deep breath, jumped onto a troop transport truck, and said loudly:
"Brothers, I am An Yi! I now order: all regimental, battalion, and company cadres to immediately take your men to the nearest trench! The cavalry of the Soviets is coming! We must let those Slavs who think that if they have four more legs, they will be invincible in the world, understand that we Chinese are invincible! Let those self-righteous Soviets taste the power of the Anjia Army and tell them that it is not 1900! β
Amid the roars and shouts of the officers and men, the noisy camp began to be busy in an orderly manner.
Jumping off the truck, An Yi saw Hu Jiyang coming in a hurry and asked, "What the hell is going on?" How come the enemy is under our noses, and we still don't know anything? β
Hu Jiyang looked ashamed: "We don't know what's going on, there is a division of the Tenth Army stationed in the Karbao Mountains south of Ustikamenn and Kokpikti, a city at the northern foot of the Gengistau Mountains, and there is also a division in the area around Jaisangpo, so it stands to reason that this situation will not occur, and further news needs to be captured to verify!" β
An Yi nodded: "Are the fortifications around the camp strong?" Are there enough troops? β
Seeing that An Yi didn't mean to blame, Hu Jiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "I have ordered Liu Yu to inform Wang Yu and ask him to rush to the aid with the guards directly under him, now that there is a division stationed in our camp, it shouldn't be a big problem!" β
Listening to the sound of the huge horse's hooves that shook people's hearts as they got closer, An Yi frowned: "Listening to this sound, the enemy is no less than one cavalry army, and it may even be two cavalry armies, is it really sure?" β
Hu Jiyang said confidently: "Ust-Kamenn has a special topography, and an Irtysh River divides the entire city into two halves, so we can only garrison troops on the east and west banks. In response to this situation, we have built extremely strong fortifications on both the east and west banks, in order to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing with secret passages that we do not know about, cutting us off at the waist, and thus threatening the security of the Irtysh River bridge. β
An Yi bowed slightly when he heard this: "Okay, I haven't experienced the battlefield for a long time, let's go, go and see the situation." β
"Yes!"
Hu Jiyang turned around to follow, and it didn't take long for Liu Yu to arrive with five or six staff officers, and told Hu Jiyang that he had been notified and that the guards would soon come to reinforce him.
"Knock-"
A 20-mm cannon hidden behind a civil bunker, with only a small half of the cannon body exposed, the double-barreled 20mm cannon was desperately spitting out a fireball the size of a ping-pong ball into the darkness in the distance.
"Boom-"
The voice became louder and louder, and when An Yi entered the trench, he clearly saw that the soldiers who were hiding in the trench and shooting into the night were all trembling with fright from this huge moving sound. Several soldiers let out a loud roar, trying to vent their fears as they opened fire.
Facing the Soviet cavalry that was rapidly approaching in the darkness in the distance, An Yi also felt an obvious heartbeat, turned around and asked, "Why didn't you shoot a flare?" β
Hu Jiyang said: "Wait until the enemy steps on the mine and launch, launch in advance, the enemy is hidden in the night, and we are exposed to the opponent's firepower, the gains outweigh the losses!" β
"Good!"
An Yi nodded appreciatively, and just as he wanted to praise a few words, he heard a violent explosion. In the light of the explosion, dense black shadows could be seen flying into the sky and turning into pieces.
Explosions rang out one after another, getting closer and closer.
The commander of the Soviet army was really ruthless, and he didn't hesitate at all, allowing the charging cavalry to use a living ** to crash into a fleshy passage of advance.
Three flares rushed into the sky at the right time, and under the red light, the sound of gunfire, shouts, and moans of bullets became one in unison.
"Bang bangβ"
In a blur of blood, the earth suddenly burst into large clusters of firelight, and under the glow of the firelight, countless small fires quickly approached the defensive position.
That's the torches that the Soviet cavalry lit up after knowing that the sneak attack failed!
The Soviet cavalrymen armed with mounted guns, once they rushed into the camp over the trenches, did not hesitate to pull out the snow sabers hanging next to the saddle and engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat!
In the dark, the infantry and cavalry engaged in hand-to-hand combat, it was simply life and death, and if the war really developed in that direction, it was a merciless massacre of the An family army by Soviet cavalry!
An Yi walked into the underground bunker at the corner of the trench in a few steps, Lieutenant Colonel Liu Changbao, commander of the 84th Regiment of the 28th Division, was directing the machine gun platoon to shoot outside, heard the footsteps behind him, raised his head and looked, and found that it was An Yi.
An Yi turned around and said to Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu who followed up: "Immediately convey my order to put the car lights, searchlights, and tank headlights in the camp...... Everything that could illuminate the Soviet cavalry, turn it on and aim it in the direction of the Soviet cavalry charge! β
Liu Yu immediately instructed the communications staff officer to immediately convey An Yi's order.
An Yi looked around, only to see the regiment commander kneeling back in place, directing nine 12.7mm Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns to fire from the embratory of the bunker.
An Yi approached the lookout hole of the bunker, looked at the Soviet cavalry approaching with torches under the illumination of the flares, and nodded: "Yes, that's it, use firepower to suppress the enemy!" Also, give the order to go down and tell the soldiers to put bayonets on the semi-automatic rifles! Always ready to fight hard! β
After saying that, he straightened up and strode out of the fortifications, only to hear an excited answer from inside the bunker: "I know what to do, Chairman!" Even if I am the only one left, I will never let go of a Mao Zi soldier to cross the position! β
An Yi stopped and said to Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu: "You follow me, how can you command the battle?" Let's go back, I'll take a look around, there is Lao Shen and the guards around to protect me, no problem! β
Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu glanced at each other, and Hu Jiyang said with some hesitation: "Butββ"
"It's nothing, the wind and waves are coming, I don't believe I'll be here today! You leave a communications staff officer for me, I need to contact you at any time through walkie-talkie! Go ahead! β
"Yes!"
Seeing that An Yi's attitude was very resolute, Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu did not insist and took the order.
An Yi led the people to continue walking, and came to a deep trench, only to see a battalion commander directing the erection of mortars a few meters in front of him. Six 81mm mortars and twelve 60mm caliber mortars were quickly erected, and the battalion commander simply reported a series of numbers, and one mortar after another spewed out a stream of flames, aiming at the attacking Soviet cavalry was a burst of rapid artillery bombardment.
Shells exploded in the cavalry group, and from time to time someone turned over and fell off his horse amid screams.
"Well played!"
An Yi's voice of encouragement woke up the soldiers of the artillery company, and through the light of the overhead flares, they could clearly see that it was An Yi, and they were hurriedly preparing to salute one by one, An Yi walked up and said, "Leave me alone, it's important to kill the enemy!" Your artillerymen are known as the gods of war, and you hope to play a key role in the war. β
The battalion commander and a group of gunners nodded yes, An Yi did not stop, continued to move forward, and the sound of intensive artillery bombardment came from behind him again.
In the trenches, the explosion of various guns forms a grand symphony. Countless shiny tongues of fire erupted from the trenches, ranging from semi-automatic rifles to tongues of fire less than an inch long (which had a flame-extinguishing effect) and the terrifying flames of 20-millimeter machine guns.
The cavalry of the Soviet army is like a torrent, and the position of the Anjia army is like a strong embankment, the torrent hits the embankment, shattering the bones, and the cavalry of the Soviet army seems to be blocked by an invisible wall, more than 50 meters away in front of the position, falling in pieces, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses of people and horses are piled up one or two meters high.
