A navy blue military uniform, a cold hat, a saber at his waist, a medium-length mounted spear on his back, and a Hanoverian horse in his crotch, this is the typical configuration of the German cavalry. www.biquge.info The German army completely relied on the equipment of the Tang Army, even if it was their military uniform, in fact, all of them were produced in the Tang Dynasty, and the German army that lacked funds would not equip their infantry or cavalry with the same steel helmets as the Tang Army, so the cavalry were all infantry octagonal hats, obviously the Germans were very flattering to the aesthetics of the Tang people, but it cannot be denied that these octagonal hats are very low in production cost, and they are also very practical. If it was winter, the cavalrymen would wear cold-proof hats that were actually Lei Feng hats. Compared with the infantry, the treatment of the German cavalry was still slightly better.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the horses sometimes shiver from the cold, but the cavalry can not rest, this time is the critical moment of the war, the German cavalry is constantly cruising to spy on the enemy, and the sluggish logistics have not yet issued cotton clothes to these German boys, so they are a little shivering in the autumn wind.

The cavalry captain frowned at the appearance of several young soldiers, and shouted: "You guys, give me a little look like a man, don't embarrass me." ”

The cavalrymen were afraid of their captain, who had been a Hessian cavalryman who had been captured and "liberated" as a German officer, and most of his soldiers were new recruits, many of whom were beginners.

"Captain, there seems to be movement on the other side of the hill!" A cavalryman shouted.

The captain of the cavalry hurriedly picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked, and sure enough, a group of cavalry came down from the hillside, and it was undoubtedly Austrian light cavalry from the point of view.

"Austrians!" The cavalry captain shouted.

On the opposite side were about forty Austrian light cavalry, and their horses were from Transylvanian horses, which were uniformly brown and red, and they looked extremely majestic. In all of Europe, the Austrian light cavalry was considered one of the finest cavalry, among which the Hungarians, who were under the Austrian Empire, the first choice for enlistment was always cavalry, and they were considered born knights. Brave and fearless, combative and energetic, these Austrian hussars dared to charge and eventually defeat the enemy, even in the face of an enemy many times their size.

Of course, these Austrian cavalry had their own faults, and their courage seemed to be excessive, and there was once an incident where 4 Austrian light cavalry charged 40 French cavalry, and the Austrian lieutenant stopped these stupid fellows, and the cavalry sergeant replied that they did not have the habit of counting the enemy before charging. Similarly, because of their relatively small numbers, the Austrian cavalry was not good at group warfare, and was more likely to operate in small groups.

At this time, the German cavalry was actually a platoon, with only thirty-six men, and their task was to conduct reconnaissance in the vicinity and detect the enemy. The face of the German cavalry captain was a little grim, and the Austrian horses had better endurance than them, which meant that they could not escape if they did not want to fight, so they could only fight with this group of Austrian light cavalry for a while.

Apparently, the Austrians on the opposite side thought the same thing, and seeing the Germans, they excitedly drew their sabers and rushed down the hillside. The Austrian hussars did not intend to use their inferior carbines against the Germans, they simply brandished their sabers and prepared to stab the Germans into the horses.

The German cavalry did not think so, the cavalry captain immediately ordered the German cavalry to raise the cavalry guns in their hands, which actually came from the M1 carbine in another plane, which was also the standard configuration of the Tang cavalry unit before, and tens of thousands of them were produced one after another, and later SKS and AKs replaced the M1 to become the standard configuration of the Tang cavalry, and these carbines were supported to Germany in large numbers.

The German cavalrymen had a peculiar shooting position, with one foot in the stirrup and the other in the saddle, and after balancing, they shot at the enemy. If it is a Tang cavalry, the metropolis will practice the unique skill of one-handed cavalry and archery. But at this time, most European cavalry would not shoot at the high speed of the horses, because their guns did not have such high accuracy.

The German cavalry crackled and released a volley of bullets, and at a distance of several hundred meters they fired as many as they could from the chambers of their guns, and the Austrians clearly did not anticipate the semi-automatic rifle fire of the German cavalry, and six or seven Austrians fell from their horses.

And at this time, the cavalry captain pulled the reins, drew the saber at his waist, and shouted: "Charge, long live Germany!" ”

There is no doubt that the Germans were inferior to the Austrians in terms of the combat qualities of the cavalry alone, but when their eyes flashed with a devouring light and they rushed towards the Austrians without hesitation, they were still imposing.

The two groups of cavalry collided fiercely, and the skilled Austrians had already cut down several German cavalrymen, and the captain of the cavalry dodged the saber of an Austrian hussar and slashed his horse in the neck, cutting the horse down instantly.

This was followed by a continuous charge, and although there were only a few dozen cavalrymen, their blood and ruthlessness were amazing. After three successive charges, the Austrians were surprised to find that these not even very good cavalrymen in front of them were covered in blood and wounds, and some even had their arms cut off, and continued to attack them with a scream.

The captain of the cavalry had already killed red-eyed, more than half of his men had been cut off his horse, and he himself was wounded, but he was absolutely not willing to fail like this, and when he approached the enemy again, he slammed his horse's head and let his horse crash into the opponent's horse, and at that moment, he jumped hard at the enemy, and threw the enemy off his horse, his saber was too long to be used in this fight, so he used his teeth to bite the neck of this Austrian cavalryman, and tore off a piece of flesh.

Next, the German cavalry followed the example of their captain, and even if not everyone could pounce on the opponent, the Austrians panicked when the enemy, covered in blood and beasts, frantically slaughtered him. A German cavalryman, who was not afraid of death, deliberately rushed into the middle of several enemy horses, ignoring the falling saber of the opponent, and resolutely detonated the grenade in his hand, killing four Austrians at once.

"Crazy, they're all crazy!" Rarely, the Austrians collapsed, and even if they actually killed more Germans, the German cavalry was like a demon crawling out of hell, and they might be killed, but they would have dragged a few backs. (To be continued.) )
