Chapter 312: Encounter (For Book Friends Coral Bookworms)
It really made Major General Zhang Zhonglin right.
On the way to Borja, Gaoyang's convoy was met by a Cossack cavalry unit that had been broken up during the day's fighting.
This Cossack was part of the cavalry brigade of the 18th Infantry Corps under the Special Army of the Far East.
During the afternoon assault on Borja, this cavalry brigade was scattered by the torrent of armor of the 6th Division, and not to mention the heavy losses, even the entire army was scattered.
This scattered cavalry force of about five or six hundred men did not receive orders to retreat in the direction of Akinskoye, and they still wandered along the railway line near Borgia.
While resting in a small village during the night, a report was received from the scout cavalry that a long line of cars was spotted on the road next to the railway line heading in the direction of Borgia.
When the cavalry arrived nearby, they found that there was indeed a long convoy on the road not far away, and there were about dozens of them.
The commander of this cavalry, Pavel. Federov observed that most of the convoy consisted of trucks. Therefore, he judged that this was a logistical convoy carrying supplies to the enemy forces in Borja.
Federov immediately decided to eat this logistics unit. He calculated that it would not take much time to deal with a logistics force, and after destroying the enemy's supplies, he immediately retreated in the direction of Akinskoye. Under the cover of the vast night, the enemy's reinforcements would never be able to catch themselves.
Federov, of course, did not know that there was a supreme commander of the enemy in this convoy! Even if he knew it, it was estimated that he would rush over even more excitedly, wanting to make history.
Gao Yang came to the front by plane, and only some officers from the staff department and a small number of guards came on the same plane. His guards were all left in Mukden.
After leaving the airfield, the airfield garrison of the Air Force sent a company of soldiers to accompany the escort.
The 18th Light Infantry Division, which was the reserve of the right flank force of the Manchuria attack cluster, also sent two infantry companies to accompany it.
After yesterday's attack, most of the enemy forces on the opposite side had been eliminated or captured, and the rest had basically fled in the direction of Akinskoye. No one could have imagined that there would be a large number of enemy forces operating in the rear of their own front.
The first to spot the approaching cavalry was the point of origin. The origin of the powerful reconnaissance capability is that on the battlefield of Ma Pingchuan, more attention is paid to the security of Gaoyang.
Those cavalry who were quietly approaching were soon discovered by the origin.
"Stop!" Gao Yang, who was leaning on the seat and resting and listening to music, suddenly pulled off his headphones and shouted in a deep voice.
The driver hurriedly braked and stopped. Colonel Zhang Xinghai, who was in the co-pilot seat, hurriedly turned his head and looked at Gao Yang with a confused expression. "Sir"
The high sun sinks like water. He whispered, "There is enemy cavalry approaching on the left!" Get ready for battle now! After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pushed the car door out of the car.
At this time, because Gao Yang's car stopped, all the escort cars in front and behind also stopped. The soldiers all looked stupidly at Gao Yang, who got out of the car.
As soon as I stepped out of the car, a biting cold wind blew in my face. Breathing in some pungent cold air, Gao Yang frowned slightly, his face was indifferent, and he shouted loudly, "The enemy cavalry two kilometers on the left is approaching, all ready to fight!" ”
As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, the soldiers who were originally a little dizzy from being swayed along the way immediately reacted. A large number of soldiers jumped out of their cars and threw themselves on the left side of the road. The soldiers who remained in the car hurriedly began to set up machine guns.
"Let go!" Gao Yang scolded sharply. Just now, several of his guards pounced on him, holding him and running to the back.
Push away the guards. Colonel Zhang Xinghai, who hurriedly ran over, said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here!" Go command the battle! ”
"Yes, sir!" Colonel Zhang Xinghai didn't stop a single turn, and ran to the temporary position.
Surrounded by several guards, Gao Yang went to hide next to a truck. He pulled out a pair of night vision devices from the storage space and looked in the direction of the cavalry.
Federov, who was quietly approaching the highway under his command, saw the convoy in front of him suddenly stop, and his heart tightened. Years of military experience told him that his troops were discovered!
"Charge! Charge! Federov, who understood that there was no other choice now, raised his saber in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Ula !!" A burst of cheers rose to the sky! Hundreds of Cossack cavalrymen raised their sabers in their hands, urging the horses under their crotches to accelerate towards the highway!
The earth is shaking!
When Gao Yang used to read novels, he often saw descriptions of cavalry charges, and most of them talked about earth shaking. I used to be skeptical, but now I really feel it!
The earth and stones were shaking, and the windows were whining. The muzzles of the soldiers' guns were trembling. That's a heart-beat-pounding rhythm!
Thousands of heavy horses' hooves slammed into the ground, and the spurs on the cavalry's boots stabbed into the horses' buttocks.
The stimulated war horse opened its mouth and spit out a large gulp of white gas, and thick hot sweat broke out all over its body, and its strong muscles bulged. Work hard to get the highest speed!
The Cossacks were hunched on their horses, their sabers stretched diagonally forward at an angle of forty-five degrees. This is good for slicing the enemy's neck, and it doesn't take much effort to kill the enemy.
The distance of two kilometers is not at all a difficult distance to cross in front of the galloping war horses. In the blink of an eye, the charging cavalry came to the distance from the convoy with its flashing white headlights.
The faces of the Cossacks showed an expression of excitement and bloodthirstiness. He was snorting all kinds of strange words and his mouth was wide open. Look at your target with red eyes! Rush in, rush in! Just rush in and everything will be very simple!
The Cossacks will not understand that the distance can be crossed. But. The rain of bullets is the gap they can't cross!
With a "Shoot!" Chanting. Hundreds of guns lined up in dense clusters spewed hot tongues of fire.
Dozens of MG42s mounted on trucks continue to prove the prestige of their Death Scythe. Coupled with hundreds of Mauser rifles and the frantic shooting of MP40s, it forms a dense barrage that is suffocating.
According to the Code of Operations, fire was supposed to be fired within an effective range of three to four hundred meters from the enemy. However, in order to protect Gao Yang's safety, Zhang Xinghai gave the order to open fire at a position of 600 meters.
The MG42, spewing long bullets, unleashed a long barrage, and the barrage mixed with the hot and bright bullets tore through the air and rushed into the storm.
People turn on their backs!
It's as if the Cossacks had slammed into an invisible wall! Rows and rows were knocked to the ground!
In an instant, people shouted and neighed!
The Cossacks who fell off their horses were immediately trampled into pulp by their comrades behind them, regardless of whether they lived or died!
The riflemen fired rounds of platoon shots in strict accordance with the training, and the large-caliber bullets hit the body immediately and died!
In a very short time. The Cossacks who lined up in a loose charging line suffered heavy casualties!
Federov's eyes jumped when he was following behind! The heart is colder than the Siberian wind! Where is this what is the logistical supply of troops? This is exactly the elite regular army on the march!
Although he didn't know why there would be a regular army marching in the cold night, he didn't know how his troops were discovered. However, one thing Federov knew in his heart was that the offensive had failed!
Those machine guns with terrifying ripping rags are like demons rushing to the ground from the abyss, frantically harvesting the lives of their soldiers!
No such force could rush through under such a dense barrage. His troops can't do it, not any of them!
Seeing that his own soldiers were sharply reduced, Federov could not fight any longer.
"Retreat! Fall back!! Fall back!!! Federov immediately judged the form, and he couldn't win. In the current situation, if you don't leave, you won't be able to go!
The cavalrymen, who were still alive, hurriedly pulled the reins. Let the war horse turn sideways and draw an arc towards both ends of the fire net.
What is the result of exposing one's side to a dense range of guns? The result is a larger impact area and faster death!
Hundreds of Cossack cavalrymen managed to escape with single-digit lucky ones!
Colonel Zhang Xinghai raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and he was greatly relieved. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was fine.
If the commander-in-chief has three long and two short here, then Colonel Zhang Xinghai patted his chest, and he felt like he was in the aftermath of the disaster.
"You're not the one to go to the front!" Behind him, Gao Yang's scolding voice with a thick chill suddenly came.
Zhang Xinghai was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned around and saluted.
Gao Yang ignored him and hurried to the infantry line. He said to a helpless senior soldier beside him, "Give me a gun!" ”
The senior soldier trembled and handed the Mauser rifle in his hand to his immediate superior, the immediate superior.
"Whoa!" Gao Yang skillfully pulled the bolt and raised the rifle in a standard shooting position. Squint your eyes and aim at the Cossack cavalry, who was fleeing for their lives a few hundred meters away.
"Smack!" The gun rang out, the man fell off his horse, and the bolt was pulled.
Ringing again, falling again. Pull the bolt again.
Three gunshots rang out, and the three fell off their horses.
"Ding!" The magazine falls off.
"Magazine!" Gao Yang turned his head to look at the stunned senior soldier and shouted in a low voice.
The senior soldier, who was stunned by Gao Yang's accurate shooting, was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and hurriedly took out a magazine and handed it to Gao Yang.
Skillful reloading. Pull the bolt and raise the gun to aim.
"Smack, smack. Syllable. A coherent crisp burst of gunfire rang out.
As Federov, who had fled for his life thousands of kilometers away, fell off his horse, all the Cossack cavalry who had launched the attack were wiped out!
casually threw the Mauser rifle back to the senior soldier, turned to look at Colonel Zhang Xinghai with a stupid look, and said in a deep voice, "How did you graduate from the military academy if you fired before you entered the best range!" Don't go to the front line in your life, draw a map in the staff headquarters! ”
Zhang Xinghaixiao's face turned red, his mouth was slightly open, and a heavy wheezing sound came from his nose. He really felt wronged!
In order to protect Gao Yang's safety, he ordered to open fire in advance to avoid the enemy approaching. How could you have thought that you would be disqualified from going to the front line in your military career! At this moment, Colonel Zhang Xinghai felt extremely depressed!
Gao Yang didn't pay any attention to him, walked back to the car, turned on his mobile phone, put on his headphones and continued to rest. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Shoot the ability to cancel." (To be continued......)
