The situation was so critical that with the shouts of Wellin, there was no need for the regimental commander to give an order to fight, and the officers and men began to run. Welling's chariot happened to be on the west side, and he quickly directed the entire platoon into the chariot, and one of the shooters hung up the bullet strap clip, while Welling opened the safety and pulled the trigger in his hand to prepare to shoot. The soldiers who were driving the cart outside quickly unloaded the horses, and then led the horses to the middle of the formation and concentrated them together.

The machine gunners on the chariot were preparing, and the soldiers, under the command of their commanders, quickly put their knapsacks behind the chariots, and then lay down on the ground to form a circular line of defense. In the middle of the ground, the mortar gunner set up the mortar with agility and provided fire support at any time. There was a sound of shaking in the ground, and a large number of Russian cavalry appeared in the west and north. The Russian cavalry held their sabers high and shouted, and the sabers formed countless bright spots under the reflection of the sun, which was hideous and terrifying.

Whether it is a new recruit or a veteran, it is the first time to face cavalry, especially to see this overwhelming momentum, which is terrifying. Therefore, many officers and men are extremely nervous. The Russian war horses galloped on the fresh grass, and the smoke and dust raised were not large, so the vision was very clear. Seeing our cavalry galloping towards him, Wei Lin was nervous when he participated in the battle for the first time, and his hands trembled slightly. Entering the effective range, Wei Lin subconsciously pulled the trigger.

The bullets rained down, and Wei Lin saw in the scope a war horse under the crotch of a Russian cavalry rushing in front, and his front legs suddenly knelt on the ground, and the Russian cavalry on the horse rolled forward and was thrown out. At this time, the dense rain of bullets formed a barrage, and the Russian cavalry from Peking University turned on their backs. At first, the Japanese cavalry did not see what was going on, and their companions dismounted. only to realize how terrible it was. At this time, the mortar also joined the attack, and the rifle in the soldier's hand began to fire violently.

Buchlin, the leader of the Wolves team, saw this scene and knew that he had been fooled. He hurriedly gave the order to retreat, but the cavalry launched a charge, and it was not so easy to stop. Seeing the Russian cavalry flipping on their backs and defeated, the soldiers quickly forgot their fears, and the accuracy of their shooting quickly improved. The rifle in the hands of the soldier in the rear of the tank also worked efficiently. I saw the horses and corpses of the Russian cavalry, covering the grassland in front.

There was no longer a need for the commander to give the order to retreat, and the Russian cavalry turned their horses and fled. Even escaping is within range of heavy machine guns and mortars. The fleeing Russian cavalry still dismounted like dumplings. Coupled with the pursuit of mortar shells, the Russian cavalry also paid a heavy price on the way to escape. The fighting was so horrific that it was a one-sided killing. The Russian cavalry barely rushed to within fifty meters, and the prepared grenades were not used at all.

The most remarkable thing is that there were no casualties among the officers and men of the regiment. Since the Russian cavalry was carrying a saber to attack, naturally their own side was not patronized by the rain of bullets. Zero casualties is incredible. Soon. The battlefield fell silent. The enemy ran away, and the Russian cavalry on the battlefield, the dead showed various postures, the wounded were moaning in pain, and Wanhaode was almost frightened, they knelt on the ground and raised their hands high, praying for their lives.

The gunfire stopped, and the officers and men of the regiment were a little stunned. The regimental commander boarded a chariot. The resounding spirit shouted, "Brothers, the chariot is mighty. Courageous, we have won! The officers and men of the whole regiment cheered. Then the regiment commander ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up, and the soldiers quickly went out. Shao Bo handed the rifle to the guard, raised his leg and walked towards the position where the regimental headquarters was. Several battalion commanders and regiment commanders sat on the ground, and everyone made eye contact with joy in their hearts.

The regimental commander said: "Everyone, this battle was fought too beautifully, it has been proved that the chariot is the nemesis of the cavalry, and at the same time, it has also tested the results of training, and in the future we can not care about the strong Xosako cavalry." After a while, the results of the battle were counted and immediately reported to the brigade headquarters. We're going to camp at Sweet Water Well tonight and have a good celebration. The remaining soldiers then began to set up tents to spend the night.

The sun had set, and the two defeated Russian cavalry regiments had reunited. The Russian cavalry who woke up from the fright, everyone was wooden, their faces were gray, and their eyes were glazed. After counting the losses of the two cavalry regiments combined, two-fifths of the men and horses were lost, and the point was that the mental state of these two fierce Khasacko cavalry was completely broken.

As soon as the two commanders of the Russian cavalry regiment met, the commander of the Grizzly Bear cavalry roared: "Colonel Buchrin, your reconnaissance situation is seriously wrong. I'm going to report it, and you're going to be primarily responsible for paying such a heavy price. Buchrin's face was gloomy and he said: "I will accept the punishment of Shangfeng, but in this case, I should report to Xiangshang Feng immediately to avoid further miserable losses." Buchlin did not shirk his responsibility, and the grizzly leader thought about it for a moment, and it was useless to say too much about it.

The two of them briefly discussed, and without hesitation, in order to avoid losses for the brother troops, they decided to withdraw to Duolun and report directly to the commander. Night fell, and the grassland was shrouded in the vastness. The Russian cavalry unit slowly moved north, and the war horse under the crotch seemed to be infected by defeat, and its steps became very heavy. During the march, someone suddenly dismounted and never woke up.

The first battle of the march into the grassland was a complete victory, and there were no casualties, and the deputy commander Li Tianxiang was overjoyed and said: "The first battle has tested the courage of our chariots, and the pioneer regiment has fought well, and I want to commend the pioneer regiment." The vanguard regiment was ordered to halt its advance and temporarily station the sweet water well. After Li Tianxiang finished speaking, he said to Bazar: "Division Commander Ba, order your reconnaissance troops to intensify their reconnaissance and pay close attention to the movements of the Russian cavalry. "Yes! Subordinates obey orders! Bazar replied with a chested chest.

A small group of fast horses galloped over, and one of the officers, who was covered with dust, jumped off his horse and raised his hand to salute: "Report to the deputy commander, the 5th and 7th armies are progressing smoothly, and there are no large Russian troops encountered along the way, and a small number of Russian reconnaissance troops have been found, and they have occupied Zaranzada." Li Tianxiang said: "Very good, order its vanguard to advance to the north, stop advancing after occupying Guqin Wusu, and form a parallel echo of the east and west." ”

The commander of the first army asked in confusion: "Deputy commander, weishenme stop advancing?" You should take advantage of the power of victory to quickly march north! Li Tianxiang shook his head and said: "The headquarters requires a large number of Russian cavalry to be killed and wounded, rather than fighting for a city, a pool and a land. The Russian cavalry has suffered such a big loss, and they will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate, if he does not dare to attack the main forces, then what will he pay attention to? ”

"I understand, the grasslands are vast, and the Russian army will definitely attack my convoy!" The commander of the first army suddenly realized. "That's exactly the case, so we put a maze array on the Russian cavalry to lure them into the bait." Li Tianxiang smiled ghostly. "No wonder you left the 9th Division of the Third Army in the rear, it turned out that you let them pretend to be a transport team." "They are transport teams but they are also combat troops, and because of the special situation in the steppe, and we are facing Russian cavalry operations, we must consider it holistically."

At the Zhangjiakou Central Cluster Headquarters, Chief of Staff Khali Dexing hurriedly walked in and said, "Commander, good news!" Deputy Commander Li led the advance troops of the four armies into the Outer Mongolian grassland by two routes. The vanguard regiment of the 1st Army on its right flank was attacked by two Russian cavalry regiments near the sweet water well. In this battle, the chariots of the vanguard regiment showed their might, and used the powerful firepower of the chariots to destroy more than 1,500 enemies, and the vanguard regiment did not suffer any casualties. ”

Leng Yifei was overjoyed when he heard this: "It seems that our thinking is right, in fact, the idea of the chariot was proposed by the president, and it is obvious that the chariot is the nemesis of the cavalry." I'll tell you a secret, in the future, we will use a steel chariot powered by an internal combustion engine that can fly on land. Once we have the steel chariot, we will be invincible. "The steel chariot is a weapon of attack, and I really hope that day will come soon." Khalid said with joy.

Leng Yifei said: "The advent of the steel chariot is not a day's work, and we are still working on the wooden chariot at the moment. This battle tested the ability of the wooden chariot to deal with the cavalry, and through the actual battle, we should find out the shortcomings, inform Li Tianxiang, what defects the wooden chariot has, and give feedback in time, so that we can improve it. In addition, after the Russian cavalry suffered losses, it would definitely have to change its strategy. Khalid said: "Li Tianxiang believes that after the Russian army suffers losses, it will definitely pay attention to our convoy, and he is ready to use the convoy as bait." ”

Leng Yifei said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief Chen didn't misunderstand him, this kid is getting better and better at fighting." You ask the staff to study it and come up with a complete plan. Khalid said with some urgency in his heart: "Commander, advancing into the Outer Mongolian grassland, the start is so good, whether to counterattack Kobdo is on the agenda." "I know what you're thinking, but don't rush yet. We first let the Russian army be impatient, no matter how good the situation is, we must fight steadily, we must accumulate small victories into big victories, and it is our goal to annihilate the Russian cavalry in large quantities.

The Sweet Water Well Pioneer Regiment was stationed, and barbed wire was pulled up around it, the purpose of which was to prevent the Russian cavalry from attacking at night. At this time, the platoon commander Wei Lin led the whole platoon of soldiers to check the weapons, the three heavy machine guns on the combat vehicle were disassembled, and the machine gunners were checking and wiping. At this time, the company commander and the battalion commander Shao Bo came over. "Report, Second Lieutenant Platoon Commander Wei Lin is leading the whole platoon to inspect and wipe weapons!" Welling stood up and shouted.

"You guys stop for a moment, the battalion commander has something to say!" The company commander said. Shao Bo smiled: "Let's rest for a while, I want to discuss this chariot with you." After actual combat, the chariot showed its might. Let's find out the shortcomings of the tank in real combat. Everyone brainstorms, and it doesn't hurt to say something wrong. The crowd began to gossip and speak.

One of the machine gunners made a suggestion that caught Shao Bo's attention. The machine gunner said that three machine guns formed a 180-degree coverage, what if the enemy came up from behind? It is desirable that the vehicle rotates to create a 360-degree coverage. This suggestion was very practical, and Shao Bo immediately reported it to the regiment commander. The regiment commander considered this proposal very good and immediately reported it to the military department. (To be continued......)

PS: Tanks are a nightmare for cavalry, and the appearance of tanks has eliminated cavalry that has spanned thousands of years. What does the appearance of wooden chariots portend?
