Chapter Eighty-Three: Cavalry Brigade SV Armored Regiment

The fierce offensive and defensive battles have not stopped, no matter how heroic Lieutenant General Wilson's guard regiment is, but the well-protected Ouyang Yu personal guards hid behind the shooting holes of the steel plates of the truck and only aimed and shot, although the light group fired by the cavalry of the guard regiment shot the truck full of holes and the steel plates were potholes, and the cavalry who lacked heavy weapons to attack the fortified positions were powerless against the guards hiding behind, and they were under the powerful automatic fire of Ouyang Yu's personal guards, except for the corpses that were left on the ground and caused a small number of casualties to the guards, there was no achievement, and the loss ratio of the offensive and defensive sides was as high as fifty to one。

"Tell the soldiers to pause their attacks. ”

Lieutenant General Wilson thought that this pursuit would end easily, and the enemy would obediently raise his hands and surrender after seeing the soldiers of his mighty guard regiment, but he did not expect that the enemy army with only 100 people would be so difficult, the battle plus air raid, Lieutenant General Wilson's 1,200 soldiers, only half of the fighting is now left, and the soldiers of the guard regiment who received the order to suspend the attack were like amnesty, and without saying a word, they turned their horses and left the attack range of Ouyang Yu's personal guards.

"Your Excellency, what should we do now, do we want to ask for reinforcements?"

Lieutenant General Wilson felt very embarrassed in the face of the adjutant's inquiry, 1,200 people pursued a hundred people, and even asked for reinforcements, but the pro-guard resistance was so fierce, which showed that the person protected by the pro-guard was definitely a very important person, and he couldn't give up after paying more than 600 casualties, Lieutenant General Wilson gritted his teeth and replied loudly: "Order, the 11th Cavalry Division immediately moves closer to me, this group of enemies must not let go!"

"Yes!" the adjutant commanded to find the signal corpsman, passed on Lieutenant General Wilson's order, and after a while, the adjutant returned to Lieutenant General Wilson's side and said, "The 11th Brigade will reply, and it will be there in more than an hour." ”

Lieutenant General Wilson nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, order the troops to rest in place, and when the 11th Brigade arrives, it will be the death of this group of enemies!"

Ouyang Yu, who was surrounded, saw the guard regiment start to rest in place from the telescope, and the heart that hung in her heart relaxed a little, now what she lacked most was time, but she couldn't imagine that the enemy was willing to give her time, which made her overjoyed.

"We will also rest and rest and organize our ammunition, and the wounded will be left to your care. Ouyang Yu's last words were addressed to Princess Roni and Anna and Anne.

"Yes, please leave it to us. ”

Anne and Anna happily leave with the first aid kit, but Princess Roni does not.

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Yu held the binoculars and continued to observe the enemy's situation, while asking casually.

Princess Roni hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, all the cars have been destroyed, and no matter how much ammunition there is, we will run out, and we have no reinforcements, do we still have any hope of breaking through?"

Princess Roni asked this on purpose, hoping to analyze her current state of mind from Ouyang Yu's expression, and it would be best if she could be moved to surrender.

Ouyang Yu turned his head to look at her and smiled when he heard this: "Of course there is hope, it doesn't matter if the car breaks down, I don't plan to leave anyway, and the ammunition is enough for us to use the arrival of reinforcements, you can rest assured." ”

"Reinforcements, will they come, when will they arrive?" Princess Roni smiled with delight.

Ouyang Yu looked at his watch and replied: "It's almost there, it will be there in about an hour and a half, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to wait, but I didn't expect that the commander of the other party would order a rest, it's really God to help me." ”

Princess Roni was secretly frightened, she didn't expect Ouyang Yu's reinforcements to come so quickly, her eyes turned and asked again: "How many reinforcements are there?" The enemy suddenly stopped attacking, I guess they are also waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, if our reinforcements come less, they will not be able to get any or so, and the enemy is still cavalry, our army is all infantry, even if the number is equal, it may not be able to beat the other party." ”

Ouyang Yu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, this reinforcement will definitely scare you, now let me keep it a secret, and I'll give you a surprise when the reinforcements arrive." ”

"Yes. ”

Ouyang Yu said so, Princess Luoni didn't want to say anything more, saluted her, and also picked up the medical kit and took care of the wounded with the twins.

Time passed little by little, and the ten camel fighters who originally wanted to carry out the second air raid were ordered by Ouyang Yu to stay at the airport temporarily after replenishing their ammunition and fuel, waiting for her order to take off again to cooperate with reinforcements to strike at Lieutenant General Wilson's troops.

More than an hour of anxiety passed unconsciously, and Lieutenant General Wilson and Ouyang Yu heard the sound of dense horses' hooves from the west almost at the same time, and a large cloud of smoke and dust was raised from the west at the same time.

"Haha, the Eleventh Brigade is here!"

Lieutenant General Wilson got up from the ground, straightened his uniform, and sat on his horse, and the soldiers of his guard regiment also got up and sat on their horses, waiting for reinforcements with Lieutenant General Wilson.

The arrival of the 11th Brigade of the Imperial Cavalry, such a big movement made Princess Roni happy, she thought that Ouyang Yu would definitely not be able to run away this time, and there was only one way to go, but when she looked at Ouyang Yu, she found that there was no trace of sadness on her face, but a smile on her face, which made Princess Roni puzzled.

"It's coming!"

A mechanical army suddenly appeared in front of everyone in the east, starting with five T-35 heavy tanks, followed by ten T-28 medium tanks, twenty-six T-26 tanks lined up on both sides, and behind these forty-one tanks were eighty-two BA-10 armored vehicles, these one hundred and twenty-three tanks and armored vehicles were Ouyang Yu's long-awaited reinforcements, the First Armored Regiment.

As early as when she bought the T-35 and T-28 tanks, Ouyang Yu had been thinking about what kind of auxiliary armored vehicles to equip these tanks, and after some consideration, she finally took a fancy to the BA-10 armored car developed by the Soviet Union before World War II.

In 1938, the refinement of the original BA-6 armored car by the Soviet Red Army led directly to the creation of the BA-10. The BA-10 can be called the most technologically complete and outstanding heavy armored vehicle in the Soviet Union in the 30s of the 20th century, and it became the main equipment of the Soviet Red Army as soon as it came out.

The chassis of the BA-10 is a GAZ-AAA truck, the superstructure of which is welded on the chassis with steel plates. It was initially equipped with one M-193445mm tank gun with 43 rounds of ammunition, a turret that could rotate 360 degrees, a gun shaft that could be pitched horizontally by 20 degrees, and a periscope in the turret for the commander to aim. The car has a total crew of 4 people, 2 people in the front part are the driver and radio operator and machine gunner, and 2 people in the turret are the commander and gunner. Secondary armament is 2 x 7.62 mm DT machine guns. However, some BA-10s are equipped with turrets for T-26B light tanks and BT-3 fast tanks.

The BA-10 weighs 5.1 tons, is 4.65 meters long, 2.07 meters wide, has armor thickness 4-10 mm, has an engine power of 37 kilowatts, and has a maximum road speed of 55 km/h. Solid bulletproof rubber tires are used, and the two pairs of rear wheels can also be fitted with tracks at any time, which are usually fixed to the fenders at the rear of the body. All BA-10s were equipped with radios. The BA-10 was renamed BA-10M after being refitted in 1930. The M model was 300 kg heavier than the former, mainly due to the increased thickness of the armor and the use of the new 71-TK-3 radio, which did not differ significantly from the former in appearance, the most conspicuous difference was the square auxiliary fuel tank installed at the rear of the latter's hull.

Its special variant, the BA-10ZD, is of the railway type, which allows the wheels for rails to be replaced. Due to its weak mobility, it was eliminated early. The BA-10 was used until 1942, and some of its modifications were used for personnel transport. Some of these captured by Germany were used by the Germans to fight partisans, the German model BAF203 (r).

The 1st Panzer Regiment stunned Princess Roni, as well as Lieutenant General Wilson and his men.

After the first armored regiment appeared, it did not hesitate at all, and ran directly to Ouyang Yu's position, which further confirmed Lieutenant General Wilson's guess that the person who was besieged by him was definitely Ouyang Yu, otherwise how could there be such a big battle to rescue someone.

"Hurry up, you must catch her before the enemy reinforcements converge with Yu Ouyang, otherwise there will be no more chance!"

Under the orders of Lieutenant General Wilson, more than 5,000 cavalrymen of the 11th Cavalry Brigade also rushed to Ouyang Yu's position at the greatest speed.

Ouyang Yu's 1st Armored Regiment and Lieutenant General Wilson's 11th Cavalry Brigade, the distance between the two armies was only a few kilometers, and they were both advancing towards the same place, and soon the 11th Cavalry Brigade entered the strike range of the 1st Armored Regiment.

"Knock knock knock ......!"

More than 100 shells exploded in the ranks of the 11th Cavalry Brigade, and although most of them were small-caliber 45-mm high-explosive shells, they still dealt a heavy blow to the 11th Cavalry Brigade, and even with the loose formation, more than 200 soldiers fell from their horses screaming.

"Dadada......!"

The shells were followed by the strafing of more than 200 machine guns, and the 1st Panzer Regiment did not have a high hit rate because of the high-speed movement, but the number of machine guns was too large, and the cavalry of the 11th Cavalry Brigade fell from their horses like dumplings, or fell to the ground with men and horses and could not get up again.

In order to intercept the 11th Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Armored Regiment divided most of its forces under Ouyang Yu's order, took the lead in front of the 11th Cavalry Brigade with a standard battle line, blocked the way of the 11th Cavalry Brigade with its steel body, and the rest came to Ouyang Yu's position, took her and the guards into the BA-10 armored car to protect them, and then retreated to the east at maximum speed.

The soldiers of the 11th Cavalry Brigade bravely attacked the defense line of the 1st Armored Regiment with fierce firepower, and they used the cavalry rifles in their hands to carry out a weak counterattack, and the light bullets shot out hit the steel plate of the tank or armored car, and a cloud of white light came out but could not penetrate the steel plate, leaving only a little burning trace.

"Kill!"

A brave cavalryman of the 11th Cavalry Brigade broke through the fire and finally approached a BA-10 armored car, drawing his saber and slashing at the armored car.

"Dang!"

The sharp saber was instantly cut in two, and the cavalryman was also hit by several bullets and fell to the ground, and when he was dying, the cavalryman lay on the ground with his face to the sky, thinking to himself: "Why is there such a steel monster in the world? From now on, where will our cavalry go?"
