"Pavlov, where are we going now?" A bearded Cossack cavalry asked, since the attack on the Beiyang horse farm in the East Uzhumuqin Banner, a cavalry rescue in the Beiyang If the shadow generally follows behind, they are not in a hurry to fight, but hang not far away, in the vast steppe, supplies are quite difficult to obtain, especially after the strong wall clears the wilderness, the vast majority of the herdsmen have been intensively protected, and the Cossack cavalry, who has been accustomed to fighting and fighting with the enemy, has to carefully estimate how long the dried meat in the grain bag can last, I have to think about how far the war horse can run with the bean cake and concentrate feed. (Don't think that war horses can fight just by eating grass, this is extremely wrong)

"We have to make an understanding with the pursuers behind us, and we must throw off the opponent or annihilate the opponent before we reach the supply point." The man known as Pavlov said as he looked at the map. As a harassing force, no amount of supplies they carry will be able to sustain them for a long time. It was more logistical to fight on the steppes than military forces, and the vast steppes were enough to exhaust the bravest warriors and then a little energy, as both the Russians and the Mongol servant army attached to Russia were quite clear.

Therefore, they will set up supply transit stations in some places, not only to supply these Cossack cavalry, but also the main force of the Russian cavalry from Kulen and deep into Inner Mongolia must also rely on these supply lines for supply, otherwise, I am afraid that they will be defeated by hunger before they reach the Great Wall. Therefore, these supply points are extremely important and must not be discovered by the Beiyang Army. So now they have to do an understanding!

"Judging by the experience of the previous days. It is unlikely that we will get rid of each other, we can indeed use our riding skills to shake off our opponents in a short time, but the troops pulling the baggage are our shortcomings, their speed is too slow, even if they throw off a distance, the opponent can still find our baggage troops then eyeing us. The bearded man pouted.

In his eyes, the quality of his Cossack cavalry was definitely higher than that of the Beiyang cavalry, which could only be called mounted infantry on the opposite side. In terms of equestrianism and physical strength, they all have the advantage. However, in terms of equipment and supplies, the two sides are far apart. Needless to say, equipment is not to mention. The tsar did not have so much money to equip the Cossack cavalry with such good weapons. And the supply? The Beiyang troops could be supplied from the nearest agglomeration area, instead of having to carry them with themselves, as in the case of these Cossack cavalry. Originally, food and enemy were a major advantage of the Cossacks, but once they encountered a strong wall, they did not have the ability to attack a heavily garrisoned fortress. Then the disadvantages of external operations will be fully exposed.

"It's definitely not okay to hit it head-on. They have machine guns, there are mortars. Rushing forward is just sending to death. So we have to take a detour, preferably a sneak attack. Otherwise, we're all targets. Pavlov said.

"Then we'd better do it sooner rather than later, how about tomorrow night? We only have 3 days at most to reach the supply point at Sunit Left Banner, and we can't afford to leave a tail behind us. The bearded man nodded.

"How are we here? There is a wooded area nearby, and we can hide some of our cavalry in the woods, and when a feint from the front is launched, we can sneak up from the flanks. Otherwise, on the endless plateau, we have no chance. Pavlov thought for a moment and said.

"That's the only way to go. We can't go on and on with each other. The bearded man agreed.

The Russians had a good plan, and their estimate of the itinerary was quite accurate, and two days later, both sides arrived at the battlefield that the Russians had predetermined. And when he noticed that the Russian cavalry was not leaving, Guo Bin, the captain of the Beiyang Army Cavalry Task Force who led the team, also ordered his subordinates to dismount and prepare for battle. He is very clear about the quality of this army in his hands, if he fights with infantry of the same level, Guo Bin can ensure that his subordinates are not weaker than the infantry of any country, but if he gets on a horse and slashes with a saber. In addition to more than 100 professional cavalrymen, if other people and Cossack cavalry were to be cut down, the result could be tragic! As their opponents commented, Guo Bin's troops were cavalry infantry.

Guo Bin still knows the characteristics of his own troops, so he and his staff officers formulated the tactics of dismounting to meet the enemy, giving full play to their own firepower advantages, dividing the troops into three groups, and forming a triangular layout between the positions, so as to prevent the situation of being passive on the whole line after a little breakthrough by the cavalry, and at the same time strengthen the firepower of the support point. When the enemy attacks any position, it will be hit by side fire from other positions, especially for cavalry and other types of troops, the effect of side fire is higher than that of frontal fire. (This is the reason why both sides had to arrange flank and reverse positions in the first battle of that year.) Even the machine gun technique has the essentials of side fire) After arranging the infantry, the remaining company of cavalry served as a pursuit force and reserve. Armed with a short rifle and a modified long-barreled repeating version of the combat pistol. (This thing really exists, even Ruger has a long body.) ）

And today, the Russian Cossack cavalry will have its first battle with the cavalry infantry of the North Seas! When the man known as Pavlov looked at the opposing position with a telescope, the sensitivity of the military made him quite uneasy, because he found that his cavalry would eventually turn into a frontal attack on any aspect of this formation. And you can't completely disrupt the opposing army by opening a gap. And the cavalry, as a reserve, is more able to attack on the flanks. But now the Cossacks had no choice, and if the other side knew the location of the supply points, the Russian losses would not be more than a few hundred cavalry.

With a shout of peace, the fierce Cossacks drew their swords, and under the command of the officer, they gradually formed a scattered queue, a certain distance between the groups of cavalry, and then slowly advanced under the command of the captain, and the two mortars of the accompanying army were also slowly pushed to the firing position under the cover of the cavalry. The bearded man glanced at the woods on the flank of the Beiyang position, nodded to Pavlov, indicating that he could start.

"Boys, let's smash the yellow grounds. Dedicate their heads to the great Tsar! The bearded man raised his saber and shouted, and then led the team out of the army with a horse's belly, and more than 300 Cossack cavalry began to move forward in several waves, divided into several teams at a distance of 1KM, and then began to accelerate towards one of the positions.

"It's still the same old-fashioned fight, and I don't have any intentions." Guo Bin was not in the slightest intimidated by the momentum of the hundreds of cavalry charges, as a veteran who had participated in the First Sino-Japanese War. A charge of this scale naturally did not frighten him, and in North Korea that year, Guo Bin once faced the Japanese 107 heavy artillery. In Lushun, I faced the Japanese pig and 280 siege artillery, what is this scene today? Looking at the Cossack cavalry getting closer and closer, Guo Bin waved his hand. All machine guns and rifles with a firing range spewed tongues of fire! And then, 6 mortars also fired shells at the most dense places of the opponent!

Bullets and shells like a torrential rain instantly enveloped the entire Russian assault force, and the charging distance of several hundred meters became an insurmountable distance. Under the blows of frontal positions and side-firing machine guns, rows of Cossack cavalry were swept down, and their colleagues a second ago were beaten into blood gourds by shells and bullets in the blink of an eye, and more tragically, they were directly beaten into clumps of minced meat, and the Cossacks did not mind this at all, and the horses they controlled, accustomed to licking blood from the tip of their knives, straddled over the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge, even if there was a hell of bullets in front of them!

In this way, the Russian cavalry approached the opponent in a sea of blood and a rain of bullets. Just when Beiyang gradually aimed all its firepower at the opponent. Another group of Russian cavalry burst out of the woods, and the Russian mortars, which had not been able to make a move, fired shells at several exposed fire points on the flanks. One mortar and two machine guns were dumbed. As a result, the fire on the flanks has weakened a lot. And taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry that killed from the woods quickly approached.

"Battalion commander, there are ambushes on the other side. Shall we go up? The cavalry company commander whispered.

"What are you doing up there? At such a close distance, your cavalry has no speed, and it is useless to go up. It also affects the firing boundary. Guo Bin said with a smile. Don't worry, they won't be able to get through, although this position was built in a hurry, but those mines will make those guys suffer! ”

Landmines shone brightly in the First Sino-Japanese War, and after the end of the war, Beiyang's subordinate troops carried them forward. For example, the mine planted by Guo Bin is very distinctive, it does not explode immediately after stepping on it, but will make the warhead bounce away, and then explode at a height of about 3 meters, forming an unavoidable barrage above the enemy's head! When Xu Jie learned about this kind of thing, he was very shocked, but he didn't expect that the notorious thunder jumping in the later world would appear now. And the designer Guo Bin is even more beautiful to reduce the time for the enemy to bear the pain!

And now, the cavalry of more than 100 people did not know what they were going to face, when they saw that the opponent's firepower was not as fierce as they imagined, they were very excited, and they couldn't wait to urge the war horse to speed up, fantasizing that in a few minutes they could use the saber in their hands to cut off the opponent's head and tie it to the saddle to ask for merit! But the idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and the sudden muffled sound from under the feet makes the charging cavalry feel a little uneasy, as battle-hardened veterans, they are not afraid of each other's bullets and artillery, but they have a heartfelt fear of something unknown.

A Cossack cavalryman's eyes swept away, and suddenly found a black thing rushing out of the crowd, he subconsciously hid his body behind the horse, just after he had just done this evasion action, suddenly a crisp sound came, and then he saw a steel ball swept from the side, this bullet rain lasted less than half a second, but the result was fatal, he clearly felt that the war horse fell towards the side where he was hiding, and then he was pressed to the ground by the heavy weight of the war horse, The huge impact directly broke two of his ribs, but fortunately it did not hurt his internal organs. Compared with him, his brothers were swept away by the flying shrapnel, these weapons that have never been seen before are like demons, they can't be avoided or prevented, and most of the people who were shot were directly shot in the head, instantly lost their vitality, and there was no chance to rescue them.

If someone looks down from a high altitude, they can find that the cavalry formation rushing out of the woods was blown up by the thunderbolt, with the explosion point as the center of the circle, and several or more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses at the same time. Fell on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. And the people behind run over them directly and continue to sprint towards death!
