It is absolutely true that the Russians are one of the toughest peoples in the world, and the Russian soldiers are known for their patience and obedience! Faced with huge casualties, these Cossack cavalrymen continued to advance against the rain of bullets and artillery fire, trampling on the corpses of their comrades. Time seems to have suddenly slowed down. It is not an exaggeration to describe these Russian cavalrymen who are struggling with bullets. However, they finally approached the target step by step, the distance between the two sides was less than 150 meters, and the cavalry could cross the distance in front in less than half a minute! The minefields they had already broken through, and the machine guns and mortars were soon no longer able to threaten them.

"Brothers, fight with the Russians." Suddenly, a series of combat pistols with extended barrels were revealed in the trenches, and these weapons, equipped with 20 rounds of magazines that can fire continuously, will form the last line of defense in Guo Bin's hands! From ancient times, the most important thing to deal with cavalry is not weapons, but iron probabilities, whether it is the spearmen in the Spanish infantry phalanx or the heavy infantry in the Song Dynasty in order to fight against the northern cavalry. They all have to be determined to die! Times are changing, but the last line of defense of infantry against cavalry will always be indestructible and iron discipline!

Dozens of soldiers with combat pistols bravely rushed to the front line, they used their rifles to support the most rearmost line of defense, they bravely faced the sabers and rifles of the Cossack cavalry opposite, ignoring the possibility of being trampled by the big hooves of the bowl in the next moment, and used their backbones to block the opponent's attack for the brothers behind!

In an instant, dozens of submachine guns completely blocked the frontal battlefield in an instant, and in just a dozen seconds, one by one Cossack cavalry rushed through the defensive line, and the Beiyang soldiers were cut by a saber with a huge wound on their bodies. Some were trampled directly under the feet of war horses, and some were smashed alive by cavalry who fell from war horses. But the submachine gunners, who suffered heavy casualties, still protected their comrades behind them. Even if the next moment they will be trampled to pieces by the horses. Before you die, you should also talk about the bullet in the gun to shoot at the opponent. In an instant, the front line of the two sides was in disarray, and the thick smell of blood accompanied by gunsmoke filled the battlefield. The Cossack cavalry poured up like a tidal wave, and the defense line of the Beiyang Army was precarious, but it was the crumbling line that made it impossible for the Russians to break through.

The cavalry that lost its speed was equal to losing everything, and under the blow of side-fire fire, the Cossack cavalry in the rear was stopped by the fire of the opposing side, and the mortars behind the Russian army had long been destroyed by the 82 mortars of the Beiyang, and the Russians lost everything for themselves. The cavalry that had already entered had no chance of survival, and even if the horses were fast, they would definitely not be faster than bullets. All that remains is a one-sided slaughter.

"Let's go, let's go. We don't have a chance. "Look at the Cossack cavalry who sent them to death. Pavlov, who was pressing in the back, did not have the slightest sympathy, and the Cossack cavalry was nothing more than the eagle dogs of the Russian Empire. It's cannon fodder, it's expendable. Not at all worthy of the sympathy of him, a Russian nobleman! Immediately, he glanced at his subordinates, who were still dying on the battlefield. He left the battlefield with dozens of his own soldiers and ran towards the supply point.

"Want to go? I'm afraid it won't work. Guo Bin watched a small group of cavalry run into the distance. Sneered. Then he ordered: "The 1st Cavalry Company and I will pursue the enemy, and the rest will stay behind to clean up the battlefield." We can't afford to regret it. Immediately, Guo Bin led the regular cavalry of the company under his command to chase in the direction of Pavlov's retreat. As he said, he didn't want to leave regrets. He wanted a happy ending.

Guo Bin led the cavalry as a reserve to rush forward, and the real cavalry was still very important to the Beiyang. After all, these who fought on horses were fundamentally different from those who only used horses as a means of transportation, after all, in this era. The cavalry is still the only force of assault on the battlefield, and if you really want to end the cavalry, you have to face off in the trenches that stretch for hundreds of kilometers in the first battle. And in the vast flat terrain without the support of the trench system, the cavalry is still beautiful! And for the sake of this small number of cavalry, the Beiyang people also tried their best to give the best points, horses, equipment, personnel and salaries were tilted as much as possible. And today, this heavily built force is finally about to wield.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and after knocking the two Russian cavalrymen off their horses with the short rifles at hand, the distance between the two sides was close to within 100 meters. Hunting an opponent with a rifle on a bumpy horseback is a skill in itself, and it is impossible to make everyone a sharpshooter, so Xu Jie's approach is to make up for the lack of accuracy and quantity. Therefore, in addition to a rifle, the regular cavalry of Beiyang also had a combat pistol with an extended barrel, which was called the 1897 repeating pistol. Also called an 1897-style submachine gun, it has a long barrel with a handguard underneath, is fed with a 20-round magazine, and has a shoulder drag. Significantly more accurate than regular combat pistols, smaller in size than rifles, suitable for use at close range, and providing excellent firepower density when fired in bursts.

Soon, the Beiyang cavalry followed suit, putting away their rifles and replacing them with 1897-style submachine guns. Soon, the Russian infantry rushing in front heard the sound of gunfire like popping beans behind them, and then the whizzing sound of bullets sliding past their ears accompanied by the screams of the cavalry behind them when they were wounded, resounded throughout the Russian cavalry group.

Some people try to return fire with the rifle in their hand, but turn around on the back of a horse moving at high speed and shoot at an opponent who is also moving at high speed, and still shoot against the opponent's absolute firepower superiority, the effect of this counterattack can be imagined. Turning the horse back to block it is a dead end, but if you run like this, you will be crucified one by one by the pursuers behind! If nothing else, the Russian cavalry could only end up in a dead end.

But things were not as Guo Bin expected, in the process of pursuit, Guo Bin, who was born in a family of Lian, suddenly felt some abnormal vibrations on the ground, this was by no means the situation when two groups of cavalry with a total of less than 200 people were chasing, it was more like the vibration generated when a large number of cavalry were moving here from a distant place, and this speculation made Guo Bin's heart tighten! There is no larger cavalry in Beiyang in this area, and it is even more impossible for the Mongol princes. Since it is not a friendly army, then the only possibility is the Russians, as for how the Russians came here across such a long distance, Guo Bin is not clear, but not knowing does not mean that he cannot make the right decision.

"The commander of the first company led the team back to join the main force and then evacuated to the nearby stronghold, and I took the reconnaissance platoon to see the situation." Although Guo Bin pursues perfection, he can still distinguish the importance in the case of a possible reversal of the situation. Reconnaissance of the opposing side's large forces is far more important than the destruction of a small opposing force.

Abandoning the pursuit of the Russian cavalry, Guo Bin led a few of his men to search, in order to conceal himself as much as possible, he led the cavalry to march as far as possible with the help of hills and the occasional woods, and a large number of troops must move with water sources, so according to the map markings, along the nearby lakes and rivers to search is the most efficient.

Half an hour later, on the edge of a wood, Guo Bin finally found what he was looking for—a large Russian cavalry unit preparing by the river. A large number of rangers were patrolling the surrounding area.

"There are at least more than 3,000 Cossack cavalry, there should be a certain number of Mongolian cavalry, and the banner should be that of the princes of Outer Mongolia, these scum." A soldier said with a sip.

"And artillery, look over there, that's supposed to be a baggage and artillery unit. Those cannons don't look like old goods, and they are completely different from what the Russians gave to the Japanese during the Qing-Japanese War. It's a bit like the French M1897 guns. The platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon said after carefully observing the artillery at the back of the line with a telescope.

"M1897? This one is even more terrifying than a machine gun. Guo Bin said with some worry, the machine gun for the infantry is indeed great, but the machine gun is still a gun, and the artillery has a longer range and more powerful destructive power, during the Franco-Prussian War, the French were once equipped with a platoon gun that could fire 25 bullets in a row, but it was beaten by the Krupp artillery of the same era, especially now, after the rapid-fire gun is equipped, the cavalry with rapid-fire guns has been greatly improved, and compared with the equipment of the Northeast Armed Guards, the defenders of Zhili are poorly equipped, Coupled with the scattered defense, it is easy to cut a gap, and the Beiyang troops, who lack cavalry, cannot be excited in time, if this Russian cavalry is allowed to walk in the hinterland of Zhili, the result will inevitably be very serious.

"The correspondent took a squad of people to deliver intelligence, and we continued to reconnoitre." After hesitating for a moment, Guo Bin ordered, although the number of enemies in front of him was huge, Guo Bin did not believe that the Russians and the servant army were so confident that they could run rampant in Zhili with only a few thousand people, and you must know that the troops of Beiyang Zhili in Ludao Dao were 60,000 people! This does not include the troops that are being reinforced, so these Russian troops may only be a part, and Guo Bin needs to understand the overall size and situation of the Russian army.

A few minutes later, the Beiyang reconnaissance unit left in two directions, one to deliver intelligence, and the other to continue reconnaissance. In the days that followed, Guo Bin discovered that the situation facing Beiyang was more serious. Beiyang's war preparations have always been based on the northeast, while Zhili's side is mainly to clean up the remnants of the emperor and queen.

The Russians, with the support of some princes of Outer Mongolia, suddenly led a large number of cavalry from Outer Mongolia to Inner Mongolia, which was beyond the expectations of the Beiyang high-level. Although the distance is far away and the supply is difficult, the Cossack cavalry has a strong ability to attack, and the Far Eastern Railway has been built near Lake Baikal, and a lot of accumulated materials can be requisitioned on the spot, plus the transportation capacity provided by the servant army, it is still possible to maintain a cavalry force of more than 10,000 people to enter Inner Mongolia. Of course, this cavalry could not have carried heavy artillery, 75 rapid-fire guns and 82 mortars would have reached the sky.
