Chapter 22, The Battle of Two Legs and Six Legs
The folk customs in the Erma territory were indeed fierce, and the annihilation of the entire army of the charging cavalry in front did not affect the morale at all, but aroused the bloody nature of the army behind. The leader of the second team of cavalry www.biquge.info roared angrily, and took the lead in driving the war horses to continue charging along the path of the previous team. Within two hundred meters, he simply pulled out a sweat towel and blindfolded the horse, and he couldn't care about the war horse, so he kicked the horse's belly in advance and accelerated the charge.
War horses are the biggest reliance of cavalry, and in many cases, the life and death of cavalry completely depend on whether the war horse under the crotch is good or not. Therefore, calculating the physical strength of a war horse is a compulsory course for every cavalry commander. How to use horsepower at the most appropriate time has also become a criterion for the competence of a cavalry commander.
The second wave of cavalry charges also failed to touch the rope net within fifty meters. It just makes the land on the route redder. The previously chosen line of attack was filled with wounded cavalry and horses, and the corpses were piled up on top of each other. It would not be so fitting for the cavalry to attack again along this route, and no one could bear to step on the body of Brother Robe. The ferocity of the Ma Jiajun was only against the enemy. The only ones who can be ruthless to themselves are the perverts on the island in the east.
After observing the horses lying in front of the position, the commander found that many of them had injured their hooves. From the mouths of the withdrawn cavalry, it was learned that within 100 meters of the front of the Red Army's position, there were all pits the size of rat holes, which were densely dug. As long as the hooves of the charging war horses step in, they will inevitably be cut off and thrown down. The weight of the war horse and the cavalry of more than 1,000 catties was planted on the ground at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour.
The commander of the Ma Jiajun is really not a straw bag, and he did not let his cavalry continue to fill this hole, nor did he let the cavalry dismount as an infantry call. React quickly and let the artillery pick three positions to launch covering fire within a hundred meters of the position of the three regiments. An attempt was made to use artillery fire to open up a 100-meter-wide charging path directly in front of the position.
Although the firepower of the Ma Jiajun was stronger and limited than that of the Red Army, it was more than enough to cover the ground at a distance of about 100 meters. All the dirt in this area has been turned up. Naturally, a foot-deep pit cannot withstand such destruction. This rat hole defense line probably won't play much purpose.
As soon as Kuwa saw Ma Jiajun doing this, she naturally knew what they were going to do. I also know that the real test is coming. Whether it can be successful or not is a matter of these hammers. Hurry up and turn up all the automatic fire. Xia Xinsheng didn't dare to continue to hide the flying thunder cannon that he supported him alone, and dragged it out of the bunker and aimed at the Ma Jiajun artillery shell landing point. The white-knuckle battle team quickly entered the position, ready to deal with the white-knuckle battle after the Ma Jiajun rushed into the position.
Ten minutes of rapid fire passed in a blink of an eye, and more than nine minutes passed, and Ma Jiajun directly drove out three thousand-strong soldiers and began to trot in three ways to reach a position of more than two hundred meters, gradually increasing the speed of the horse, and when they entered the two hundred meters, they shouted in unison, and frantically drove the war horse forward.
The third regiment had already put away its contempt, and as soon as the cavalry reached two hundred meters, the machine guns began to fire wildly at the war horses. The disadvantage of the cavalry in the face of automatic fire is highlighted, the war horse and the cavalry form a huge shooting target, not to mention the cavalry that rushes up at high speed does not care whether it hits the vital point or not, as long as the war horse is put down, the cavalry is not far from death.
The charge of the thousand-man team doesn't care if you want to charge forward or not, and you can't help but be caught up in the team. It only takes more than 20 seconds for ordinary people to run 200 meters, and a war horse that has completely rushed can finish it in more than ten seconds. The cavalrymen lay down more than 200 people in the first fifty meters. Within 150 meters, the casualties increased again, and the small 300 cavalry company and horses fell, and within 100 meters, the flying thunder cannon ignited, and the huge explosive bag rose into the air and fell into the middle of the cavalry and exploded, and the stormtroopers suddenly thinned out.
Only a hundred people remained, and the horses continued to advance. Behind him, the next thousand-man team of Ma Jiajun shouted and roared again. Rushed within a hundred meters before the front team all fell.
The machine gunners of the three regiments quickly shifted the target, directing their fire at the rear. Give the fish that slipped through the net to the step snatcher. The Flying Thunder Gunner quickly cleaned off the dirt with a huge mop-shaped brush, and the loader put the prepared powder bag into the oil drum, flicked his arm a few times to tamp it, and then put the explosive bag inside, and the main gunner standing next to him inserted the fuse into the small hole and lit it. The huge kinetic energy pushed the explosives into the air and flew into the middle of the thousand-man team.
Ignoring the effect, he quickly cleaned the gasoline barrel, filled it and continued to launch.
It's just that no matter how hard the three regiments fired, they were inevitably rushed into position by the cavalry. Fighters armed with broadswords quickly pushed to the front, protecting the machine guns from impact. The presence of a stake that was more than one person tall restricted the movement of the horses, and greatly limited the power of the cavalry. The soft dirt piled up on both sides of the trench made it difficult for the horses to stabilize their balance, and their speed suddenly slowed down.
Three regiments of warriors armed with broadswords quickly formed a three-person group, slashing the cavalry up and chopping the horse's leg down. Let the cavalry who rushed up always be pressed in the first trench and could not advance an inch. It was very easy for the cavalry to cut down the standing infantry on the horse, but it was impossible to cut the infantry in the trenches, but the horses were exposed to the open door, and the soldiers cut off the horse's legs with broadswords, and even the men and horses fell to the ground, and the Red Army soldiers who were followed quickly lost their lives.
The cavalry in the rear could not come up, and the cavalry in front was blocked between the first and second lines of trenches and slaughtered one-sidedly. Even the little devils who were known for their bravery and fearlessness in World War II couldn't stand being beaten like this, not to mention that although the ethnic minorities in the northwest had peculiar beliefs, they were not fanatical to that extent. Soon, the huge casualties made the Ma family army commander unbearable. A rare signal was given to the cavalry that had rushed to the position to retreat.
The three waves of attacks caused the loss of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the Ma Jiajun finally knew that they had encountered a hard stubble. The desire to take the opportunity to come up and grab some credit was also extinguished by blood all over the ground. For the first time, Ma Jiajun was terrified, and Allah could not bless his fanatical followers. The rangers ran back and forth outside the range of the position, trying to find the weak points of the three regiments' positions.
After seeing the huge impact of the cavalry, the third regiment did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and seized every second to strengthen the position. The sappers did not stop here from the moment they arrived at the position, and continued to expand the defensive line inward, digging more and more deep holes in the ground, and quickly arranging dense formations with wooden stakes for each trench they built, ready to retreat at any time and continue to resist the onslaught of the cavalry.
