Throughout the battlefield, there is a complex situation of interlaced canine teeth and layer by layer.

With a force of more than 90,000 troops, the A Corps surrounded the 70,000-strong Williamson Corps of the Confederate Army, and with its superior weapons, it enveloped the enemy with more intense artillery fire and bullet rain, setting off one after another bloody storm of death.

Although the situation was superior, it did not translate into victory.

It's like a thin-skinned dumpling, and the Williamson Corps has the ability to fight back at any time to break through to the south and escape, or even turn around and bite hard.

Therefore, the commander of Corps A, Chi Shouchou, personally went to the front line to command, and made a timely response to the enemy's movements as if he were treading on thin ice, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After discovering the reinforcements of the Victorian Corps, he immediately sent two cavalry divisions, Tiger and Panther, to intercept, harass, and delay the enemy's reinforcements.

In this way, the situation on the battlefield is further complicated.

The lesson of the total annihilation of the Livingston Cavalry Division of the Confederate Army is at hand, and the two cavalry divisions of the Tiger and Leopard do not dare to go too deep, if they are mixed in the middle of the enemy's two heavy army groups, when the hammer is closed, it will be the time when the cavalry division will die and have no place to be buried.

Therefore, the two cavalry divisions set up a regimental sniper position on the left and the right periphery of the middle zone, and the officers and men dismounted and dug trenches to defend them, using 60 mm field guns, heavy machine guns and platoon guns to form a crossfire network to prevent the Victorian Corps from continuing to approach.

Other officers and men of the cavalry division took advantage of the high mobility of their horses to launch harassment operations from the middle and rear of the enemy's marching columns, firing cold guns and cold artillery, and carrying out sneak attacks by small units of troops at the company and platoon level, thus delaying the advance of the Victorian corps.

Don't say it, this kind of beating makes the Victorian Corps very uncomfortable.

The harassing force of the cavalry division was separated by two 60-mm field guns and a few heavy machine guns in a distance.

Because the other side is two cavalry divisions, each division has about 8,000 soldiers, even if each is short of a regiment, the total strength remaining will reach about 1.2, which is much more than the 7,000 people of the Macbeth Cavalry Division under the Victoria Corps.

The total strength of the entire Victoria Corps swelled to more than 68,000 people, except for the heavy artillery division and an infantry division and two infantry regiments left on the defense line facing Beilun City, with a total of more than 15,000 troops.

If there is a real fight, it is not certain who will annihilate whom?

If you leave it alone and speed up the march, the two stumbling blocks in front are there, is it possible to brave the artillery fire blockade and force the crossing?

How many casualties did that have to be?

The Williamson Corps, which was heavily encircled in front, still had a Henry cavalry division, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people, which was originally a mobile force to protect the right flank of the legion, but now they cowered in the depths of the encirclement and did not dare to come out, they were frightened by the tragic experience of the total annihilation of the Livingston Cavalry Division, and they no longer dared to charge in the rain of bullets.

Today, the Leopard Cavalry Division has won a brilliant victory on the battlefield, proving a truth with the bones of the Livingston Cavalry Division; Traditional cavalry charges have no way to survive on a hot-weapon battlefield.

Since the prevalence of platoon tactics in the 18th century, the cavalry regiments that once cramped across Eurasia have come to an end, and the dragoon or cuirassier divisions that the French Emperor Napoleon relied on to become famous can be regarded as more mounted infantry.

Ride and gallop, dismount and fight.

It is the most significant combat feature of the Dragoon Division of the French Napoleonic era, and this is the best example of the application of today's cavalry division in the era of thermal weapons.

The Dragoon divisions of the French Napoleonic era were very flexible, and the cavalry divisions generally had 2 to 3 brigades, and the brigades had two regiments, each regiment had 3 to 4 squadrons, and there were cavalry companies below.

Due to changes in the battle situation, the number of cavalry divisions will increase from 1 brigade to 5 brigades, and the number will increase from more than 4,000 to tens of thousands

Theoretically, the French cavalry regiment had 800 to 1,200 men, but in wartime the number decreased, generally around 300 to 600. The number of squadrons fluctuated from 75 to 250 people, and the ups and downs were very dramatic.

In 1809, Napoleon's cavalry consisted of 209 squadrons, with an average of 139 men per squadron, for a total of nearly 30,000 cavalry.

In 1812-1813, the number of squadrons under the cavalry regiment rose to 6 or even 8, and the number of cavalry regiments reached the upper limit of 1,200 men per regiment.

In the French Emperor Napoleon's army of the Russian conquest, General Walter's Guards Cavalry Division had 4 brigades, plus artillery directly under the division, the number was as high as 5,900 people, and many cavalry divisions in the corps were close to 5,000 people.

The cavalry division of the Ocean Kingdom is modeled after the French dragoons, but the brigade level is canceled, and the large regiment system is directly used, each cavalry division is composed of five regiments, with a total strength of about 8200~8600 people, and there are four cavalry regiments and a division fire regiment.

The divisional fire regiment is equipped with 18 60-mm portable field guns and 36 heavy machine guns, and has a certain ability to attack fortified positions.

Faced with the encirclement and interception of the two cavalry divisions, the Victorian Corps had to stop its advance, on the one hand, sending infantry units to expand the outer defensive line and counterattack and harass the cavalry, and on the other hand, sending heavy troops to attack the two sniper positions set up by the other side, striving to remove the two pesky stones as soon as possible.

And so

The two sides set up a battlefield about 3 miles south of the encirclement, and the "ping-pong" fight broke out again, which made the current situation on the battlefield more and more complicated.

Holding a heavyweight Southern Federation Corps in one hand, Corps A no longer had the calmness it had before, and the advantage in the number of troops instantly turned into a disadvantage, which made the battle situation quietly change.

There was no choice but to resist it, he was extremely eager for Corps B to come to help at this moment, and the original idea of eating alone had long been forgotten.

At this moment, both the enemy and us are trapped on the battlefield, and no one can escape.

The Victorian Corps, which rushed to reinforce the regiment, did not carry heavy artillery, but there were many heavy machine guns on the wagons, which were unloaded at the first time and dragged to the forward position, where they fiercely exchanged fire with the sniper cavalry regiment in front to cover the infantry attack.

The battlefield was a pot of porridge, bullets were whistling and flying in the air, and soldiers on both sides fell one after another in the brutal battle, gritting their teeth and holding on.

Half an hour later

A touch of sunset hung high in the sky, and the main force of the B Corps that came to reinforce appeared in the distance, and the powerful military array could not be seen at a glance, which caused the cheers of the soldiers of the A Corps in the battle to sound like a tidal wave, and they couldn't help crying with joy.

At this moment, the B Corps was running forward, like a large dark cloud passing over the Consby Plateau, rushing to the battlefield with the fearless momentum of no one else.

An ironclad torrent appeared in the west of the battlefield, kicking up smoke and dust along the way, as if countless violent beasts were overwhelmingly impacted, and this trembling huge power instantly attracted the attention of both sides in the battlefield.

Oh sell ga...... What the hell is this?
