Chapter 1298: The Cavalry's Swan Song

ps: Today's four watches are completed! Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! It's the end of the month, do you still have a monthly pass?

The sun rises over the horizon, and the sunlight dispels the dense fog of the early morning. The small towns of the Siberian plain appear peaceful and serene at this time. If there is no smell of blood in the air, it is definitely a beautiful picture. However, the corpses everywhere in the city have ruined this beautiful thing, as if they have taken people to hell!

"Dada! Dada! "The horse's hooves struck on the stone pavement with a crisp sound, and it was carried far, far away! Several cavalrymen of the five Central Asian tribes in dark green military uniforms were galloping through the city, and they passed through the small city and went straight to the military camp about five kilometers outside the city!

"General! The Russians are coming, they are already less than twenty kilometers from Kamensk, and it is expected that they will be here in an hour at most! "A junior officer reported to the commander of the Kazakh cavalry, Major General Karimov!

"Hmmm! I see, pass my orders and get the divisions ready for battle! Major General Karimov said with the same expression! From yesterday's order to assemble the cavalry brigades, by this morning, there were already 6 cavalry brigades rushed to Kamensk, 4 of which were Kazakh cavalry brigades, plus a Kyrgyz cavalry brigade and a Tajik cavalry brigade! Several other cavalry brigades are also heading towards Kamensk, but because of the long distance, it will take some time to arrive!

"General! We now have only 6 cavalry brigades, which is only twice the strength of the Russians! With the ferocity of the Cossack cavalry, we probably don't have much chance of winning! A Kazakh brigadier general officer said with some concern. He was the commander of the 2nd Kazakh Cavalry Brigade, Brigadier General Dmikry.

"Humph! It seems that the comfortable life has worn down the fighting spirit of us nomads! Sue those guys, you have to be there within three hours. Otherwise. Military disposition! Other than that. Warn the Uzbeks and Turkmens, don't try to sit back and watch the tiger fight, our opponent is the Cossack cavalry, and if we lose, the marshal will not let them go! Major General Karimov said coldly! There are also many contradictions between the five ethnic groups in Central Asia, but under the strong oppression of the Chinese, these contradictions are hidden. The Kazakhs are undoubtedly the largest ethnic group in Central Asia, almost stronger than several other ethnic groups combined. But. The Chinese did not want to see the Kazakh family dominant, so they deliberately supported several other ethnic groups, allowing each ethnic group to establish two cavalry brigades, and the Kazakhs also established seven cavalry brigades, a total of 15 cavalry brigades. The officers of the cavalry brigade need to be trained by the officers sent by the squadron every year, and the senior officers, such as generals and the like, need to go to the Chinese army university for further study, and the squadron controls the logistics supply of these cavalry brigades. The squadron can be said to have completely controlled the armament of these nomads. And the armament of these nomads can only act according to the orders of the ** squadron!

"Yes. Checkmate! If those guys really dare to sit back and watch us and the Cossack cavalry fight hard and not help us, we will have a reason to attack them! Brigadier General Dmikri said!

At this time, in addition to the 7th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, which was marching towards Kamensk, the remaining cavalry brigades of the five Central Asian tribes were also accelerating their march towards Kamensk. They also all know that the contradictions between several nationalities must not affect this battle, and if they lose this war because of their deliberate delays, not only will they be unlucky, but even their nation will be unlucky, and this is not something that anyone can bear!

Lieutenant General Sergei's mount was a tall Don hippopotamus, which, under the guard of the guards, rested on the side of the road. The brave Cossack cavalrymen rushed past in front of him, and this indomitable momentum and heroic posture made him very satisfied!

"General, the vanguard has confirmed that those lowly minorities are just a few kilometers east of Kamensk. Kamensk was slaughtered by these guys, all Russians were slaughtered! "A junior officer reported to Lieutenant General Sergei!

"Those despicable infidels, they dare to slaughter the Russians wantonly, I will not let them go! Order the ministries to speed up, rush to Kamensk, and hang all those infidels! Lieutenant General Sergei ordered viciously! Under the strong order of Lieutenant General Sergei, the 7th Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army accelerated the pace of its march, and more than 20,000 cavalrymen galloped at high speed, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded as if it was thundering!

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Russian 7th Cavalry Corps arrived in Kamensk, and more than 20,000 cavalry bypassed the small city and killed the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes directly to the east of the city. And at this time, the 6 cavalry brigades of the five tribes of Central Asia were also ready for battle!

"Order the ministries and prepare for battle! The Kazakh cavalry brigade is in the center, the Kyrgyz cavalry brigade protects the right flank, and the Tajik cavalry brigade protects the left flank! Major General Karimov ordered! He was so excited that his voice trembled a little! Although China has established cavalry brigades in various group armies, with the development of armored forces, it has become less and less important to cavalry. And this cavalry battle is very likely to be the last swan song of the cavalry!

"Cossack warriors, charge, tear apart those lowly betrayers!" Under the orders of Lieutenant General Sergei, the Russian 7th Cavalry Corps launched an offensive, and two subordinate cavalry divisions, more than 12,000 people, formed a triangular arrow and launched an attack on the cavalry units of the five Central Asian tribes. The other two cavalry divisions were guarded on both sides. Although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, the brave Cossack cavalry did not feel frightened, but was enthusiastic and excited! They were convinced that victory must have belonged to the brave Cossack cavalry!

"Artillery fire!" At the time when the Cossack cavalry began to charge, Major General Karimov gave the order! The 72 infantry guns deployed in the rear of the cavalry platoon opened fire! Dense shells exploded in the ranks of the Cossack cavalry, scattering shrapnel to harvest the lives of the Cossack cavalry and horses, and one by one the horses fell to the ground, and even the Cossack cavalry with them rolled to the ground. These Cossack cavalrymen who fell off their horses basically had no way to live, and the horses galloping behind them would trample them directly into pulp!

"Damn! Don't those cowards have the courage to fight us with dignity? Lieutenant General Sergei said angrily! The duel of the cavalry should be to use the sabre in the hand to chop each other, and the knife is bloody, this is the way of fighting for warriors!

The cavalry units of the five Central Asian tribes were poorly equipped, and each cavalry brigade was only equipped with an artillery company with 12 infantry guns. Even so, when 6 infantry guns of 72 artillery batteries were fired at the same time, the striking power was just as amazing!

It's just that the courage of the Cossack cavalry is indeed not comparable to ordinary people, in the face of fierce artillery fire, they are still fearless, although the artillery of the five tribes in Central Asia eliminated a lot of Cossack cavalry, but the cavalry behind quickly made up for those blank places.

When the Cossack cavalry rushed to less than a thousand meters from the cavalry of the five tribes of Central Asia, the light and heavy machine guns in front of the position also opened fire! The cavalry that rushed to the front fell to the ground in rows as if they had been cut wheat.

"Bastard! Turn, turn to the left flank and crush the enemy's left flank first! Lieutenant General Sergei ordered loudly!

The Cossack cavalry was a skilled horseman, and even in the process of charging at high speeds, they were able to perform these tactical maneuvers very well! The huge cavalry ranks began to turn, crossing an arc across the plain and charging towards the left flank of the cavalry units of the five Central Asian tribes!

"Humph! Order the Tajiks, fend off the charge of the Cossack cavalry! Let the 4th Brigade go and reinforce them! The remaining 3 brigades and the Kyrgyz on the right flank, attack the Cossack flanks and finish them all out! Major General Karimov ordered!

The ranks of tens of thousands of people began to change, with some cavalry reinforcing the Tajik cavalry brigade on the left flank, while others galloped on horseback and began to attack the Cossack cavalry! More than 70,000 cavalry on both sides began a fierce battle on the vast Siberian plain!

"Ulla! Ulla! "The Cossack cavalrymen, dressed in black coats and wielding Cossack swords, shouted loudly and rushed to the enemy on the opposite side! And the cavalry of the five Central Asian tribes was not to be outdone, and after the cavalry guns in their hands opened fire, they immediately put down, drew their sabers, and launched an assault on the Cossack cavalry!

"Kill!" A Tajik cavalryman slashed at a Cossack cavalryman with a saber in his hand. However, the Cossack cavalry leaned down and dodged the knife lightly, and at the same time, the Cossack cavalry knife in his hand had already stretched out, and with the power of the high-speed running of the war horse, the head of the Tajik cavalry was cut off with one sword. Blood spurted out of the wound on the neck like a fountain and splashed on the black earth!

The Cossack cavalry was worthy of the world's first-class cavalry, although it suffered a lot of losses under the artillery fire and cavalry fire of the five tribes of Central Asia, but after the two sides closed the distance, they firmly held the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat. Although the cavalry of the five tribes of Central Asia was almost twice as large as the Cossack cavalry, in the fierce battle, they did not seem to be all the opponents of the Cossacks! The fierce Cossack cavalry seemed to be able to defeat one enemy and two with ease, and still achieve victory!

The 1st Tajik Cavalry Brigade, which was under the main attack of the Cossack cavalry, was under great pressure, and they were fiercely attacked by the 71st Cavalry Division of the Russian army. Under the blows of the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army, the 1st Tajik Cavalry Brigade was defeated and its morale was greatly affected, and in less than twenty minutes after the start of the battle, there were signs of collapse!
