Chapter 87: Cossack Cavalry Down

Cossack cavalryCossacks are one of the most legendary groups in the world, they are a group of war horses, they are with a war horse, a saber across the vast territory of Eurasia, galloping for hundreds of years, across thousands of miles, for the history of Tsarist Russia and the world war to write a rich stroke.

Napoleon once said: "If I had Cossack cavalry in my troops, I would have swept the world with them, they were excellent light cavalry, but it is a pity that they were undisciplined and even more reluctant to dismount to fight, thus limiting their play on the battlefield." ”

Although, with the widespread use of thermal weapons, the Cossack cavalry was no longer armed with sabres alone, but armed with rifles, and then they still called themselves heroes on horseback, and still maintained this arrogance, as the great Napoleon said, they did not want to dismount and fight.

In the face of cluster artillery bombardment, in the face of dense machine gun fire, the cavalry is equivalent to a live target, and the best choice at this moment should be to dismount, lie down, build improvised fortifications, and then find fighters.

However, Optorov's choice, first of all, wanted to take everyone to rush to the railway bridge, and wanted to escape from the ambush circle with the help of the railway bridge, although the Cossack cavalry was known for its speed, but at a distance of two or three hundred meters, under the dense artillery and machine gun fire, it still lost nearly half.

However, to the disappointment of the Cossack cavalry, the railway bridge was also broken.

"Bastards, cunning miscellaneous."

"**** raised."

Many Cossack cavalrymen cursed almost at the same time.

However, scolding will not solve the problem, Optorov, a smart man, this major battalion commander, must lead everyone to escape from life.

Because the Cossack cavalry was not only fierce and brave in battle, but also their ability to escape was not weak, because they came and went like the wind, they always fought when they wanted, and left when they couldn't, and rarely entangled too much, so that they could meet each other in ambush, and they never thought about fighting back, but how to evacuate, from top to bottom.

The opportunity on the battlefield is also fleeting, Optorov glanced at the entire battlefield, and found that there seemed to be only two options, one was to retreat from the way he came, and the other was to cross the river by horse and swim over.

"Retreat."

Optorov only took three seconds to give this order, because at this time time time is life, the battle has been going on so far, it is only a few minutes, but the Cossack cavalry battalion has lost nearly half, Optorov knows that if it cannot rush back and forth, then this cavalry battalion will be difficult to escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

It's a pity that the dozen or so Cossack cavalrymen at the end of the line just now, although they found that the way was blocked by the train carriages falling from the sky, but they did not survive until now, so naturally they could not tell Optorov that this road was impassable.

Thundered!

Forty mortars, still bombarded.

Da-da-da-da!

Ten Makqin, even turned into ten fire dragons, rampage over the battlefield, I have to say, using Lao Maozi's Makqin to kill Lao Maozi, this is a very cool feeling.

Bang bang bang!

Four hundred Chinese are young and strong, and after slowly adapting to the new weapons in their hands, the hit rate is obviously improving, although they have not received professional training, but many of them are old hunters, these people's marksmanship is not much worse than the average veteran, the only thing lacking is that they are not proficient.

"Haha, oh my god, I hit."

"I'll kill one too."

……

Every time one hits, it will make these Chinese young people feel blood boiling, excitement inexplicable, some young people, even red eyes, into an inexplicable frenzy, perhaps, this is the best embodiment of being oppressed for a long time, and now being released.

The Cossack cavalry rushed back in the same way as they came, and they did not fight back, because they knew that the return was almost ineffective, but used their skillful horsemanship, dodging and dodging all dangers.

However, there are only a few who can dodge, because the opponent is strafing in groups, even if you hide under the belly of the horse, because the war horses are all beaten and fly out, and there are also mortars that follow around, the mortars have a large elevation angle, the shelling distance is close, the operation is simple, and the adjustment is fast.

Optorov's second charge again lost more than half of its weight, and it was doomed to be in vain, because it was not until they were a few dozen meters away from the exit that they finally found that the road was so tightly blocked that they could not fly even without fire suppression, unless, of course, they abandoned their horses and crawled over.

"Damn, this train car, what's going on, who's going to tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"Is it the heavens that want to destroy me?"

"Has God forsaken me?"

The Cossack cavalry was desperate, and even Optorov was on the verge of despair.

More than 500 cavalry, on this small battlefield, rushed back and forth twice, and only more than 100 horsemen remained, and almost all of them were wounded.

"What should I do?"

"Crossing the river."

Up to this time, Optorov didn't think about fighting to the death, in fact, this is the style of the Cossacks, if you can fight, I will cut the straw to clean you up, if you can't fight, get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.

More than 100 horsemen rushed to the bank of the Jieya River like the wind again, plopping and plopping with men and horses, and began to rush into the river.

"Charge."

It wasn't until nearly half of the Cossack cavalry jumped into the river that Yue Weihua gave the order to charge.

"Kill."

"Da-da-da-da."

The soldiers of the Black Dragon Army directly threw away the mortars in their hands, picked up the submachine guns, and rushed out like arrows from the string.

Ten minutes later, the battle ended, the Cossack cavalry was basically wiped out except for a few lucky ones, although many wounded Cossack cavalry wanted to surrender, but they were ruthlessly replenished with guns, no way, at this moment, Yue Weihua could not escape with the prisoners.

"Clean up the battlefield and start in half an hour."

Yue Weihua stepped into the battlefield, picked up a Cossack saber, and looked at it.

"Is this what is called the 'Eagle's Power Claw'?"

In the history of Eastern Europe, knights who wore black capes and charged with Cossack cavalry swords were called the 'eagles of the Don Valley'.

They wielded a saber that frightened their opponents, the 'Eagle Power Claws', and the only thing that could be called the 'Eagle Power Claws' was the Cossack cavalry knife, which was later called the warrior's sword.

The traditional eagle power claw is about 90 cm long, generally made of stainless steel smelted from Central Asian iron ore, with a thick back and a wide blade, oak leaves and a strong tip, occupying a deep arc blood groove of about 2/3 of the overall width, and the blade has a beautiful but fierce arc, an eagle-like handle, and the center of gravity is slightly back.

The scabbard made of hardwood, with copper sheets wrapped in edge, copper hoop clamping, the whole is black, after the knife into the sheath, it is very simple, but the steel knife out of the sheath, waving up, its own arc to bring the chopping power, can easily cut off the small tree, split the stake.

"Chop off your opponent's head like a field chop."

This is a popular saying among the Cossack knights, which fully reflects the power of the eagle's power claws, and when you leap on horseback, hold the power of the eagle's power claws, and wave them in the wind, you can experience the feeling of "like an eagle spreading its wings and rushing towards its prey".

This is the legendary Cossack cavalry knife - the power of the eagle's claws.

"Anyway, this knife is very good, much stronger than the cold weapons of the cavalry battalion, if all the five hundred sabers can be collected, it can be used as standard equipment for the cavalry battalion." Yue Weihua sighed and said.

Reflecting on this battle, Yue Weihua had a deeper understanding of the importance of intelligence, as well as an urgent mood for establishing a complete intelligence system.

If it weren't for Yue Weihua, who sent Chen Jinjiang's special operations team as an outpost and killed the sentinels at the outposts along the way, then the time for Hailan Pao Headquarters to get the news would have been greatly advanced.

If it weren't for Chen Jinjiang and the others going with the radio, then they would definitely not have such sufficient time to prepare, so as to calmly set up the battlefield, prepare everything, and wait for the enemy to enter the urn.

And the premise of all this is intelligence.

To be honest, if both sides are unprepared, if the two sides of the war tonight have a head-on collision, then even if Yue Weihua has all kinds of means, there is no doubt that the final result will be Yue Weihua's side.

"Hey, it seems that we have to increase the formation and investment of the intelligence system when we go back." Yue Weihua said solemnly.

Although the Ministry of Intelligence was established, during this period of time, Liu Liren was busy with everything every day, which was to constantly train telegraph operators and establish a real intelligence system.

Now it seems that a complete intelligence system is of paramount importance.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleared, and everyone set off again.

Yue Weihua was more concerned about the power of the eagle's claws, and in the end only collected more than 380 handles, and the lightly injured and intact war horses, there were less than 200, after all, the power of mortars and Makqin was too powerful, even if the horses had a better intuition to avoid risks than people, they were still seriously injured and killed more than half.

In addition, nearly 400 M1891 cavalry guns, more than 10 pistols, and more than 2,100 merit points awarded by the merit tower were captured.

Of course, the biggest gain of this battle is that it has really won the recognition of the Chinese, especially the Chinese young people, many of whom have strongly asked to join the Black Dragon Army.

Although the members of the special combat team along the way, as long as they have the opportunity, they will give these Chinese, especially the young and strong, the situation of the Black Dragon Army, however, no matter what they say about it, these Chinese regard the Black Dragon Army as bandits, at most they are stronger bandits.

Of course, there are also a small number of Chinese who have seen Yue Weihua's magical methods, and these people have no doubt about Yue Weihua's feelings, which is a little strange, after all, people who have been abroad, in terms of knowledge, are definitely not comparable to the people in China.

However, through this battle, the Chinese people have a further understanding of the strength of the Black Dragon Army, and at the same time, they also have a fuller understanding of the statement "people's soldiers" advocated by Yue Weihua.

"Welcome to the Black Dragon Army's family."
