PS: Ask for a ticket......

................................................

On the battlefield where the main forces of the two armies were about to fight, two reconnaissance-1 "Bird of Paradise" high-speed reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Army Aviation were hovering overhead.

This kind of plane, which resembles a mixture of the original space-time "100-type command reconnaissance plane" and the "mosquito-type" plane, should be regarded as the first professional land-based reconnaissance aircraft officially installed in China and even in the world; although a large number of aircraft were used by various countries for reconnaissance before, none of these planes were specially designed for battlefield reconnaissance; they may be fighters, bombers, or patrol planes, and reconnaissance is just a part-time job.

The Detective-1 "Bird of Paradise" high-speed reconnaissance aircraft is designed for reconnaissance, it is not armed except for two 8mm machine guns as self-defense weapons, because speed and altitude are its best weapons, the maximum speed of 630 kilometers per hour and the practical ceiling of 11,000 meters are enough to make any kind of fighter cry at this time, well, China's own is no exception. The aircraft is equipped with telescopes of various specifications, four high-magnification cameras and two video cameras, as well as high-power radios, and has excellent reconnaissance capabilities. Last year, this new three-seater, twin-engine aircraft won the unanimous approval of the army, navy, and air force as soon as it appeared, and now all three services are equipped.

"Oh...... It's spectacular! It's spectacular! I'm ...... I've never seen a battle like this...... "The scout on board who was in charge of operating the photographic equipment shouted excitedly as he shot with the camera. The radio communicator next to him also put his eyes on the downward viewing window, watching intently.

"I didn't expect three cavalry divisions to have such a big battle...... "The pilot also gasped.

According to the establishment of the Russian cavalry division at this time: a cavalry division has three two-regiment cavalry brigades, one cavalry artillery battalion, one communications company and one cavalry engineer company, with a total of 8,887 personnel, 9,106 horses and 12 artillery pieces. The scene of three cavalry divisions plus troops directly under the military headquarters, with a total of 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 war horses, charging together was extremely spectacular.

I saw that in the steppe below, in the sound of thunderous hooves, countless Cossack cavalry were rolling in like a tide, wearing cylindrical curly hats, black coats, cross-body rifles on their backs, and sabers hanging from their waists, galloping in the dust. Tens of thousands of war horses spread for five or six kilometers, roaring forward like layers of waves, and tens of thousands of shining sabers were staggered, reflecting patches of dazzling sunlight, this scene was extremely shocking.

On the other hand, their opponent, the 123rd Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army, looked much worse at that battle. Although their more than 1,000 vehicles of all kinds ran with smoke and dust, pulling up yellow dragons on the ground, and the roar of engines resounded in the sky, their number was only more than 1,000 after all, and their formation was indeed far inferior to that of the Russian army.

And there were more than a hundred vehicles that did not charge, but stopped behind to shoot. These are self-propelled guns belonging to the artillery regiment of the 123rd Division, the air defense battalion, and the artillery of the regiment and battalion, to be precise, all vehicle-mounted self-propelled guns, that is, truck guns. This self-propelled gun has little defense, and has the advantage of being able to maneuver quickly, as well as quickly deploy and transfer.

"Steppe Weasel" 75-mm self-propelled howitzer, "Weasel" 105-mm self-propelled howitzer, "Weasel" 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, "Weasel" 100-mm self-propelled mortar, "Weasel" 120-mm self-propelled mortar, "Stoat" 160-mm self-propelled mortar, "Ai Hu" 90-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, "Tiger Weasel" 75-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, "Honey Badger" 105-mm self-propelled cannon...... More than 100 truck guns of various calibers and types were raising their muzzles, spraying high-explosive shells one after another at the tsunami-like Cossack cavalry.

Of course, the two reconnaissance planes in the sky did not care about watching the excitement, and they were still very serious about helping the artillery to carry out the calibration. However, at this time, the school shooting seemed a little redundant, because there were too many Cossack cavalry in front, densely packed, and covered an area of several square kilometers full of pits and valleys, which could be hit even with eyes closed.

Therefore, the main goal of the reconnaissance planes was to look for the artillery of the Red Russians, and once they found that there was artillery erected, they immediately reported the coordinates to their own artillery below, and within a minute, the shells would fall. 18 155-mm self-propelled howitzers and 18 105-mm self-propelled cannons are designed to counter the opposing artillery. At this time, the Russian army had a total of 54 cannons, the largest of which was only 75 mm, and the main forces of the two sides had been destroyed before they could make contact.

The Chinese artillerymen also went crazy at this time, and many of them were desperately carrying shells shirtless.

At this time, the 18 artillery trucks of a battalion parked at the rear also completed their preparations for firing, and I saw that the box-shaped device they were mounted behind the body was slowly lifted and pointed at the enemy position obliquely. This is the "Porcupine" 122-mm 40-mounted self-propelled rocket launcher, and once this battalion fires a salvo, it can fire 720 rounds of 122-mm rockets at once......

"Division commander, our battalion is ready!" the commander of the rocket artillery battalion reported to Xu Shuzheng, his face excited.

"Wait a minute, what I want is total annihilation, not defeat......" Xu Shuzheng shook his hand and stared intently at the central control computer screen on the command vehicle, on which the red and blue cursors representing both the enemy and us were rapidly approaching.

At this time, more than a dozen command vehicles of the division headquarters were parked not far from the rocket artillery battalion. Among them were two oddly shaped cars, which were large compared to the others, like the semi-trailer trucks of later generations. The strangest thing is that there are two small airships attached to their bodies, like children playing with balloons. This is the tethered vehicle of the "Watchtower-1" reconnaissance airship, which can not only provide maintenance and logistics for the airship, but also serve as an information processing center.

This watchtower airship is the smallest airship in the active service airship of the People's Liberation Army, there are only 4 people and a self-defense machine gun on it, although it has its own power to fly on its own, but more often it is fixed on the ground with a rope or a tethered car, put it at an altitude of 700~800 meters, just like its name as a "watchtower". The scene it "sees" is constantly sent to the information processing center on the vehicle through the signal cable on the tethered rope, and then transmitted to the central control computer of the division command vehicle.

"Pingyuan, you can stop and proceed to the next step of the battle as planned...... Seeing that the distance between the two sides was about the same, Xu Shuzheng grabbed the phone next to him and gave orders to the several regiment commanders in front.

..................................................................

"Stop advancing! Discharge the blocking ......formation according to the original plan," Yang Ning, the commander of the first regiment, immediately conveyed the order of the division headquarters to his subordinates. As soon as the order was issued, the Chinese convoy that was advancing rapidly slowed down suddenly, and two motorized infantry regiments and one wheeled armored vehicle regiment immediately began to adjust their positions according to the plan.

The first row is a wheeled armored vehicle regiment, an armored reconnaissance battalion, and an air defense battalion of various armored vehicles and small-caliber self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and the second and third rows are the largest number of "Dongfeng Taurus" military personnel carriers.

Within a few minutes, the vehicle-dominated position was quiet, except for the nervous breathing of the officers and men. This silence was particularly eerie in the accompaniment of the constant sound of artillery in the rear and the constant explosions in the front.

Frunze's face was very ugly at this time, he looked at the shells that kept exploding in the cavalry ranks, and couldn't help frowning and said: "The Chinese have too many artillery, how many cannons do they have in a division?"

"Uh, this...... Definitely more than ours. The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, said nonsense, and looked like he was concerned.

Hey, although the Russian Army has the nickname of "steam roller", but by this era their equipment has been outdated, especially in artillery equipment, which is full of tears. Not only is the quantity not good, but the quality is also not good, not to mention compared with the old tyrant countries in Europe and the United States, even the silk powers like Japan are not as good, and the nouveau riche like China is not as good as it. Moreover, at this time, the Red Army lost a large number of technical weapons due to the successive defeats in the European war, and the domestic revolution had a severe impact on military production, and the equipment was even less, which was inferior to the pre-war Russian army. It can be said that the current Russian army should be their weakest. It is as if the cavalry division under Frunze is now equipped with 12 37 mm to 75 mm guns, which is not as many as the guns of an infantry battalion in China.

If we follow the historical development of the original time and space, when Red Russia reunifies the world, as long as it goes through two five-year plans, Russia will be transformed into a big hairy bear, and then the "artillery doctrine" of the Soviet Russian Red Army will be formed. However, in this plane, whether they can still establish the Soviet army that makes the whole world sleep poorly, makes the European people three times a day, forces the Chinese people to dig holes everywhere, and makes the PLA in that plane forced to throw into the arms of the "RPG cult", it depends on the mood of President Wen.

"Comrade Commander, you don't have to worry at all, we red Cossacks are staunch revolutionaries, we are not afraid of sacrifice, this little artillery fire is nothing, we encountered artillery fire on the battlefield of the Eastern Front is much more fierce than this!" The Cossack division commander who bought the "Tianfu Horse" said nonchalantly: "We Cossacks are born to be an army that wants to charge the enemy against artillery fire and bullets, as long as we still have war horses and sabers, we are fearless!"

"Well said! This is our Cossacks!"

"That's it!"

The other Cossack officers all chimed in with a smug expression.

What they said was not completely unreasonable, the Cossack cavalry was not idiots, they would not be stupidly huddled under enemy fire, and their cavalry was also very wide away from each other when charging, and a single shell could not kill a few. Although there will definitely be losses in the charge, this kind of loss is also acceptable, as long as it rushes into the ranks of those Chinese, you can harvest the heads at will.

The Cossacks believed deeply in their own strength, and they firmly believed that the cavalry would still dominate the battlefield. As for the defeat on the Eastern Front, it was a non-war crime! The odious Hans and Oshu were like marmots, digging the battlefield everywhere with ditches and installing a vast barbed wire, which made our cavalry play happily? But now it is different, in this kind of encounter environment, no matter how powerful the Chinese are, it is impossible to dig dense trenches. In addition, if there are three cavalry divisions fighting one infantry division, it is strange if they can't beat them, even if they have a lot of cars? We don't have such a thing. There is no use in front of my invincible Cossacks!

............................................................

"Quack...... Rattle rattle...... "The thunderous sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer. The sound of breathing in the Chinese array gradually became rapid. Especially the soldiers who were in battle under the car, many of them had sweaty palms.

"Squad leader, can we stop the Maozi cavalry?" a recruit swallowed nervously and couldn't help but ask the squad leader next to him. The Chinese army was much larger, but this was the first large-scale encounter between infantry and cavalry on the plains.

"Stupid, Maozi cavalry is not a meat chief, what is there to be afraid of!" The squad leader spitted, pointed to the armored vehicles around him, and said: "See, there are these big guys, even if Maozi is beaten with iron, it has to be turned into iron slag, you are afraid of a bird!"

The recruits looked at the rows of jet-black barrels and barrels on those armored vehicles pointing forward, and the tension in their hearts subsided a lot unconsciously.

At this time, the figure of the first Cossack cavalry appeared on the horizon, and they also saw the Chinese convoy in formation in front of them at this time. However, the Cossacks were only slightly stunned and continued to trot. As the distance closes, their figures are getting bigger and clearer.

"800 meters up...... 600 meters up...... 500 m ...... 400 m ...... 300 m ...... The enemy cavalry began to accelerate ......"

In the command car, observers constantly reported the distance between the two sides. Yang Ning, the commander of the 1st Regiment (Wheeled Armored Vehicle Regiment), who was directly in charge of the front line command, remained unmoved, he looked at the Cossacks roaring with a calm expression, and he was still eating fried peanuts in his mouth.

"Commander, this distance is okay......" a staff officer couldn't help but say. At this time, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the ground was shaking.

"No, wait. Yang Ning shook his head and sighed a little unbearably: "I used to be a cavalryman...... Hey, such a traditional cavalry has been eliminated after all......" After speaking, he looked back at a set of heavy cavalry plate armor on the carriage, which he ordered from a professional cold weapon manufacturer a few years ago, but this kind of thing is obviously useless, and now it can only be used as an ornament.

"It's only 200 meters...... The cavalry continued to ...... at an accelerated pace," the observer said nervously. "It's 150 meters, and the cavalry has begun to charge!"

At this time, Yang Ning stood up, he looked at it for a few more seconds before he raised his hand, slammed it down, and said indifferently in his mouth: "Fire ......"
