Chapter 437: Desperate Charge

"Rush! Break through the defense line of the Chinese, with the saber in your hand, cut off their heads! The commander of the 2nd Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army, Major General Dimitry, and the commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment, shouted one after another. One by one, the Cossack cavalry was killed under the heavy shelling of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, which made their hearts feel as if they were dripping blood. Every Cossack cavalry is very precious!

Soon, the cavalry of the 5th Cossack Corps, the vanguard of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, had rushed to a kilometer of the defense line of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army. With two minutes left at most, they will be able to break through the defense line of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army. At that time, the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese will lose its effect. Countless Cossack cavalrymen, with red eyes and roars, galloped wildly.

"Heavy machine guns! Mortars fire! "The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, Major General Bashar, gave the order to open fire.

"Da Da Da!" A stiff heavy machine gun, spewing out a crimson tongue of fire. Dense shells, firing at the Cossack cavalry who were charging at high speed. Hundreds of heavy machine guns, firing at a time, formed a crossfire, completely formed an inescapable metal storm, tearing those brave Cossack cavalry to pieces.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Hundreds of medium and light mortars also opened fire at the fastest speed, and one shell after another survived, creating gaps in the ranks of the Cossack cavalry. Constantly Cossack cavalrymen were hit and fell off their horses. The momentum of the attack of the 5th Cossack Regiment was stopped alive!

"This! How is this possible? How can the Chinese have such firepower? How could the great and brave Cossack cavalry not rush through? "The commander of the 2nd Cossack Regiment, Major General Dimitry, widened his eyes and his face was full of disbelief. He was now somewhat glad that it was the 5th Cossack Regiment that charged, not his 2nd Cossack Regiment. Otherwise, it would be his men who are now slaughtered.

"Damn it! Come on! Just rush over and you'll be fine! Charge fast! "The commander of the 5th Cossack regiment, his eyes were red. The Cossack cavalry under his command was killed one by one, which made him very angry. This is no longer a battle, but a massacre! Moreover, it was he who personally sent these Cossack cavalrymen to be slaughtered.

"Ulla! Ulla! "The cavalrymen of the 5th Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army, who were charging, were constantly shot and fell to the ground with their companions in front. The groans of their mortally wounded and dying companions, as well as the neighing of their horses before they died, made them feel an irrepressible fear.

Quite a few cavalrymen, reined in their horses, intending to flee. However, the cavalry behind them were still charging frantically, which inevitably caused them to collide together. The Cossack cavalry in the back wanted to charge, but the front wanted to retreat. This makes them crowded there and unable to react properly. And this also gave the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army a good opportunity to kill the enemy.

"Da Da Da!" Not only heavy machine guns, but also light machine guns joined the ranks of the Russian Cossack cavalry, and the soldiers immediately changed the magazines after firing a magazine. The dense firepower wantonly harvested the lives of these Cossack cavalrymen, leaving them with no way to escape.

"Hell! This is simply a massacre! General Dimitri, I can't watch my people go to death! The commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment shouted that he wanted to withdraw the troops in front, otherwise his men would be killed in a short time.

"Listen, you think you'll be able to get back now? I now know why the Anatoly of the 9th Cossack Regiment was defeated so badly! That damn guy, he knows that the Chinese are strong, but he doesn't remind us! It's damn good! When I get back to Ulan-Ude, I'll definitely report to Grand Duke Nikolai and hang this damned fellow! Major General Dimitri said hatefully.

"So what do we do now?" The commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment asked.

"Your men continue to charge, and my men attack from the flanks and strive to defeat the Chinese in one fell swoop. Otherwise, we're going to lose this battle! Major General Dimitri said. Now, he can only pin his hopes on this, otherwise, he will not be able to substitute for Nikolai.

The commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment hesitated, but finally nodded. He also knew that there was no way out, and the battle had reached this point, so he couldn't give up halfway!

"Warriors of the 2nd Cossack Regiment, attack! Give me to tear through the defenses of the Chinese from the flanks and kill them all! Major General Dimitri ordered. Although, he himself doesn't know if this method will work. However, he has no other way but to hope that God will bless!

2nd Cossack 20,000 Cossack cavalry today,

Under the organization of the officers, an attack was immediately launched. They bypassed the front and made a detour to the left flank of the 3rd Cavalry Corps. Although, the tragic fate of the 5th Cossack Regiment made them very frightened. However, they were Cossack cavalry, Cossack cavalrymen who were not afraid of death. As soon as the order was given, they galloped and attacked.

"Humph! These old Mao, if they want to attack in a roundabout way, do they really think that our defense line is so easy to break through? Let the 2nd Brigade draw a battalion and reinforce it to the left flank! Major General Bashar, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, ordered. Defending the left flank was the 1st Brigade, which was far inferior to the frontal defensive line. However, it is not so easy to break through.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "The 2nd Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army was still greeted by a dense stream of shells and shells, and one by one the Cossack cavalry fell to the ground. No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the blockade of the dense fire of the 3rd Cavalry Army. The Cossack cavalrymen, like moths to a fire, used their ** to collide with steel shells. Although each of them is very strong, it has no effect in the face of cold steel.

"Ulla! Ulla! "The brave Cossack cavalrymen, chanting slogans, charged at a hail of bullets, and then they were beaten to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground, soaking the soil of the steppe red.

Major General Dimitry, commander of the 2nd Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army, saw the elite cavalry under his command turn into corpses one by one in the face of the dense firepower of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army. This made them tremble with anger, and their eyes felt like they were about to burst into flames.

"Could it be that the great and brave Cossack cavalry is really not an opponent of the Chinese? Can these shameless Chinese wantonly slaughter the great Cossack cavalry with intensive firepower? Major General Dimitri thought secretly. The brave Cossack cavalry, which made all the countries of Europe tremble under their iron hooves. But now, in the far east, it has folded its wings, which makes Major General Dimitri very reluctant to believe it. However, this is a fact that one does have to believe.

When hot weapons appeared, cold weapons have gradually withdrawn from the stage. The cavalry, which was originally invincible in the Cold Weapon period, also had a sharp decline in status. In the beginning, the rifle could not compete with the high-speed cavalry due to its low rate of fire, short range, and insufficient lethality. However, with the advent of weapons such as heavy machine guns, the position of cavalry was already seriously threatened. Moreover, the cavalry will gradually withdraw from the stage of history. In the face of the strong firepower of the 3rd Cavalry Army, the Cossack cavalry looked so helpless.

"General Dimitry, the Chinese's firepower is too strong, we simply cannot break through their defenses, and if we continue to attack, we will only suffer heavy casualties!" Now, my 5th Army has lost more than half of it! If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we will all lose here! The commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment said with a gloomy face. Now, he doesn't want to fight anymore. He didn't want all of his troops to die here.

Major General Dimitri nodded, now, taking the initiative to attack the defense line of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army is a dead end, only to retreat, and then look for an opportunity!

Soon, the bugle sounded. The attacking Cossack cavalry retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground. After receiving the order to retreat, these Cossack cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief. The dense firepower of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army made them feel that the road to charge was a dead end. It's just that they are well-trained, even if they know that there is death ahead, they have to launch a desperate charge. Even these Cossack cavalry were inevitably a little unruly in peacetime, but when it came to battle, they regarded obedience to orders as their duty.

"Humph! I want to run, it's late! The 9th Cavalry Brigade, the 0th Cavalry Brigade, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade immediately pursued, and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade served as a reserve! "Major General Bashar, commander of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, gave the order to attack. The tactics of the Chinese cavalry were originally to use powerful firepower to kill and injure the enemy's living forces. After inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, then slowly harvest the opponent's life. Both the 2nd and 5th Cossack regiments of the Russian army have already suffered heavy losses, and morale has also suffered greatly. Now it is not so easy to retreat.

A cavalry brigade, more than 20,000 people, immediately rode forward and pressed towards the two Cossack cavalry brigades of the Russian army. At the forefront were the machine gunners of each squad. The weight of the light machine gun, less than ten kilograms, can still be designed when the speed of the war horse is not fast, but the accuracy is not so good. At the same time, the cavalrymen of the 3rd Cavalry Army, with the cavalry guns on their backs, also opened fire one after another, harvesting the lives of these Russian Cossack cavalrymen.
