On Mongolia's road to Ningxia, a long torrent of steel is rolling towards its capital, Yinchuan, rolling up the sky of yellow sand behind them.

Bai Yingliao, the commander of the First Armored Division, was riding in a Type 63 armored car at the beginning at this moment, Bai Yingliao looked at his watch anxiously, compared the map again, and asked without raising his head: "How long will it take to get to Yinchuan?" ”

"Report Master, at our current speed, we can reach Yinchuan this evening." The staff officer replied from the side.

"Okay, order the troops to gradually slow down, let the tanker trucks behind hurry up, and refuel in half an hour. Be sure to arrive in Yinchuan this evening. Bai Ying said thoughtlessly.

"But the Tenth Division hasn't caught up yet. Aren't we waiting for them? ”

Bai Yingchat obviously didn't have much patience at this time, he said impatiently: "What are you waiting for, it's difficult to bring him the tenth division to come, so we won't fight." ”

Bai Yingliao is indeed suffocated, since the last time he withdrew from the Seleng battlefield, the 1st Armored Division, which was seriously injured, has not been on the battlefield, after a few months of rest and redressing, Bai Yingliao, who thinks he is strong, has long been ready to do a big job.

As soon as he received the order from the group army headquarters yesterday, Bai Yingliao couldn't wait to lead the troops and set off immediately. After a day and a night of marching, it was less than 100 kilometers away from Yinchuan at this time.

The speed of the huge convoy gradually slowed down, and finally they all gradually formed a large circle, this is the time when the troops are most vulnerable, so it is still necessary to put up a defensive formation.

The armored soldiers all jumped out of the car, all of them were moving a little stiff, some of the commanders came out to smoke a cigarette, and some were busy leading their subordinates to hurry up and fix small problems on the tank. Drivers are busy unscrewing the tank caps or dragging the fuel pipes out of tanks or armoured vehicles, ready to wait for the tanker trucks to arrive.

Tanks are a big fuel guzzler, especially the Type 59 tank with a diesel engine, which can add 942 liters of diesel at a time, but it can only run a distance of more than 200 kilometers and less than 300 kilometers, and if it is replaced by a relatively rugged and steep terrain, its distance will be shortened. The Type 63 armored vehicles that transport infantry are also similar to the Type 59 tanks, which is also a common problem of armored vehicles of the times.

"Okay, try again - increase the throttle." Cheng Kai, the commander of the Type 59 tank, shouted to the driver: "Boom-boom" With a piercing friction sound from the starting motor, the engine of the armored car began to roar, the cylinder vibrated strongly, and the exhaust pipe spewed out a choking puff of green smoke.

"Well done, finally fixed!" Cheng Kai laughed, and the driver poked his head out of the cab and complained: "Commander, this tank is a good thing, but this perspective is too narrow, and if you are not careful, you have to drive into the gutter." ”

Cheng Kai patted the driver's shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid be content, it's good to have a car for you to drive, if you are foolish again, next time I will talk to the head of the regiment and let you drive a tanker truck." Okay, Sensei complained, the tanker truck came and quickly got out of the car to help refuel. ”

At this moment, there was a slight shaking on the ground, Cheng Kai's face changed, he was also a veteran of the battlefield, he knew that this sound was the sound of a large number of horses' hooves trampling on the ground, and judging from the degree of ground shaking, at least thousands of horses could only be emitted after they were gathered.

Cheng Kai's face changed, and he hurriedly threw away the bundle of oil pipes he had just picked up, jumped into the car at once, and shouted: "Start the tank, turn immediately - combat readiness!" ”

The training of the armored division in the past few months has not been in vain, and the soldiers have all entered combat positions under the orders of their respective officers. Under Bai Yingliao's order, more than 80 tanks in the tank group immediately rushed out, and these steel chariots immediately rolled up the smoke, and in the smoke, the commanders could vaguely see that there were a large number of cavalry in front of them coming towards the armored division.

"The convoy is scattered, the wings are outflanked, and they are not allowed to be let go. Fuck, dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu at this time? The regiment commander Li Baiqi was very annoyed, after all, when the tank was refueled and repaired, it was the weakest and most sensitive time for the troops, and at this time, an army with unknown intentions suddenly rushed over, and any commander with military common sense would be hostile to the comer.

Li Baiqi stared ahead through the observation glass, constantly issuing orders. "Second battalion, you open the distance a little more, yes, outflank it."

Suddenly a voice came over the radio: "Regiment commander, a large force of cavalry was found ahead, numbering about a thousand people. But," said the voice in front of him paused.

"You bunny, just say anything." Li Baiqi will not be polite to him.

"Yes, but we found that the cavalry did not seem to be coming at us, and we found a large number of prisoners in their midst." The voice in the microphone was visibly confused.

"Leave them alone, carry out the order just now, and surround them all."

The cavalry team apparently spotted the oncoming tank group as well, and soon they were tickling. They halted their advance for the time being, and a dozen horses stood out and ran towards the tanks, their guns still pointed flat.

"Scolded the next door, the commander of the first battalion, immediately fired into the sky, and ordered them to dismount and surrender immediately." Li Baiqi couldn't help but feel angry in his heart when he saw that these cavalry actually used a charging formation to rush towards him.

"Knock knock" A dull sound of heavy machine guns rang out.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, the trolling in the cavalry ranks in front of them increased significantly. Some of the captives inside were constantly struggling, forcing the cavalry to dedicate a part of their forces to suppress the movement.

"Listen to the cavalry in front, we are Li Baiqi, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Armored Division of the 37th Group Army of Chahar, I order you to dismount immediately and accept our inspection, if not, you will be killed." At this time, the big horn on Li Baiqi's baby car sounded.

Although Li Baiqi shouted for them to surrender, the movements under his hands did not decrease at all, and the commander tank group continued to improve his encirclement.

At this time, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushing in front were already less than two hundred meters away from the tanks in front. But their speed did not decrease in the slightest, and some of the cavalry had already raised their sabers, and the attack was full of meaning.

"Destroy them!" Seeing such an obvious hostile behavior, the commander of the first battalion in front did not hesitate to give an order.

The M2 Browning heavy machine guns that rushed to the front of the two tanks at the front of the "Knock Knock" roared at the same time, and the 12.7 caliber bullets roared towards the front with the scorching heat.

The cavalry in front is undoubtedly very brave, whether you like it or not, we have to admit that the cavalry who can ride their horses and raise their sabers to rush towards the roaring tanks are brave.

Unfortunately, sometimes courage can't replace victory, and meat bullets can't defeat steel, and under the fire of two heavy machine guns, the more than ten cavalrymen and horses were instantly beaten to minced meat.

At this time, in that group of cavalry, his commander kept shouting orders to his soldiers. "You all stabilize Lao Tzu, don't panic, if anyone dares to mess with Lao Tzu's gun, he won't recognize anyone."

"Tuanza, more than a dozen brothers have already seen Allah, what should we do?" A company commander next to him asked in alarm.

An officer with a beard on his face said angrily: "Sir, isn't it just a bunch of iron lumps? Don't worry, I rushed up with a battalion of brothers and demolished them, and I, Wu Erhu, don't believe that there are still things in this world that my saber can't cut. Maybe they're just a bunch of wooden carts wrapped in tin sheets? Hahahaha" Well, this is a quixote warrior.

The head of the regiment also hesitated, facing the steel monster he had never seen before, and he didn't know what to do. According to the words of a foreign master: to live or to perish, this is a question!

Just as the regimental commander hesitated, one of the prisoners in the middle of the cavalry, who was obviously the leader, whispered to his companions around him: "Comrades, we are all saved, do you see those iron guys in front, that thing is called a tank." Don't look at those Ma Jiajun who are alive in front of us, but as long as those tanks move, they will all be finished. You have all heard what came from the loudspeaker just now, and if there is a fight in a while, everyone will find a way to break free of the rope and escape in the direction of those tanks, and I am sure that they will not embarrass us. ”

The captives whispered orders one by one.

Just when these cavalrymen were still hesitating, the Type 63 armored vehicles behind also followed, forming a denser encirclement around the cavalry.

As the doors of the Type 63 armored personnel carriers continued to open, soldiers rushed out of the inside. Under the command of the officers, the soldiers lay on the back of the armored vehicles or tanks and pointed their guns at the cavalry in the encirclement.

Li Baiqi's loudspeaker sounded again: "Finally, warn you, lay down your weapons, dismount and be inspected, and give you three minutes, otherwise we will open fire as soon as the time comes." ”

Under this heavy pressure, the cavalry in the encirclement began to breathe heavily one by one, and felt that the guns in their hands were getting heavier and heavier.

"Ahh I can't stand it! Allah is great! Brothers, rush with me! Under this heavy sense of oppression, the cavalry battalion commander with a beard on his face pulled the reins of his horse, raised the saber in his hand and rushed towards the tank group more than 200 meters away, followed by more than 300 cavalry, this group of cavalry who had always been unruly raised their sabers, urged the war horses under their crotch to let out a hoarse cry, and charged forward with their commander without hesitation.
