Text Chapter 184: Cavalry Glory
As one of only 1,300 cavalry in the army of the 30,000 Yanhuang Trading Company, Hamo was very proud in his heart. As an Indian living at the bottom, Hamo had never eaten enough before he was sixteen years old, and not long ago, Hamo entered the company with the people of the God of War tribe, and the abundant food made him fat. He still wanted to work hard like this and eat enough food for decades with his own hands, but he didn't expect that when the field division was established, he began to recruit cavalry reserves, and he was kicked out by his old father.
Hammer is a man of horseback riding experience, and is legendary, when Hammer was hunting, he saved a foal that had been bitten by a wolf. Originally, this wounded animal was the best food for the Indians, who lacked food and clothing, but Hammer didn't know what was wrong, so he was moved by compassion. Unexpectedly, this little foal also knew gratitude, came and went, and became friends with Hamo, and after the injury was healed, he followed Hamo back home.
For the Indians, cavalry is also a deterrent army, and it is not easy to have a good horse, and the tribesmen do not want to kill it, so they keep it as a horse breed in the future. Hammer relied on this foal to practice a good riding skill. No, as soon as he entered the army, he didn't take Apache seriously, and became the commander of a company of the cavalry battalion of the 1st Field Brigade. Although he was not riding the foal he was familiar with, the tall horses of Arab origin made Hamo even more excited.
Especially this equipment, not to mention long-range firepower, submachine pistols and grenades, are not comparable to those Indian cavalry and white cavalry who use bows and arrows or short-handled muskets. In terms of melee combat, a stab-proof suit and a steel plate cuirass are really desperate for those sabers or shoddy Indian cavalry spears, and they can't be broken no matter how they are cut or stabbed. I'm afraid that only the submachine spears of the medieval hoplite knights, and weapons such as the central war hammer can damage them.
Hamo especially liked the cavalry knife (a copycat version of the Type 56 cavalry knife), which was extremely easy to use, and the fixed strap was tied, and it would never fall unless their hands were cut off. Because of the alloy steel used, the weight is small, and the chopping is not effortless at all. Especially the unique arc and sharp blade, with a single sword, the enemy will be cut off even with a knife. Last time, Hammer had experimented in the town, but that time he had only cut three people, and this time he was going to cut more.
Adolf has always kept his cavalry troops in his hands, and in the face of the company's powerful firepower, this cavalry charge, that is, meat buns beating dogs. Only when the machine gun and submachine gun firepower of the company fighters was limited was the time when these cavalry came into play. The reason why Xiao Lin pressed the 1,300 elite cavalry in his hands was to guard against this hand. The danger of cavalry is particularly great, the company now does not have the absolute nemesis of cavalry - tank armored vehicles, if they run away, the newly occupied territory will be unstable.
Xiao Lin has always looked at the people of this era with the highest vision, no one is a fool, and after fighting with the company for so long, he is a fool and can learn a little. During this period of engagement, Adolf also showed excellent guerrilla command ability. Since there is no armored force, there is always a difference in the movement of the infantry, so it is only possible to rely on cavalry. Shoren also knew that Adolf had far more cavalry in his hands than he had.
However, this battle is not only effective in quantity, but also in sufficient quality. With 1,300 cavalry in his hand, combined with the previous part of the infantry, there is absolutely no problem in resisting the enemy's cavalry. Xiao Lin was also a little irritated when he saw that Adolf had never sent out the cavalry, so he transferred the Night Stalker Special Battalion, which had been hiding behind, and the people of the personal guard regiment also began to move closer to the cavalry. Then, the order was given to let the fighters of the field division and the garrison division slowly all enter the battlefield, and all submachine guns and machine guns did not need to be spared, intending to transfer Adolf's cavalry.
Adolf was also anxious, seeing the change in the situation on the battlefield, the cavalry in his hand could not hold it. As soon as the field division and garrison division did not spare their hands, the British infantry had less time to resist, and if they held on to the cavalry, they could only flee when they reached the rear. As soon as Adolf gave the order, the cavalry began to move, and the labyrinth occupied only about half of the camp. The cavalry emerged from behind, bypassed on both sides, and began to move towards the battlefield.
Xiao Lin's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, the company's cavalry also began to dispatch. The men of the Guards Regiment, plus the members of the Night Owl Special Reconnaissance Battalion, covered the cavalry together. The British cavalry was divided into two units, each with more than 2,000 men. Nearly 3,000 cavalry are fully equipped regular troops, but the remaining cavalry and weapons are a bit varied. There were spears, swords, and some war hammers, all old antiques that I didn't know where to go.
Moreover, except for a military uniform, there is not even a trace of armor. Therefore, the 1,300 cavalry also began to be divided, and the side with more cavalry that was temporarily put together, the cavalry of the field division was only 600, and it was the two cavalry battalions of the 1st Field Brigade. And the other time, it was the remaining 900 cavalry who went up with the people of the personal guard regiment. The cavalry of the 1st Field Brigade is the most elite, and with the more elite Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion, it will be easy to fight if you destroy all the way first, and then go back to support.
Hamoh, the cavalry company commander of the 1st Field Brigade, received the order to adjust, and immediately rode his horse excitedly, almost throwing off his own company. Hammer put the walkie-talkie in his hand into the bag next to the saddle, grabbed the 17-Q punch pistol from his waist, and fired at the enemy. The 600 cavalry behind was naturally the same, 600 submachine guns, a 25 rounds of ammunition, a total of 15,000 rounds of ammunition, which caused a huge increase to the oncoming British cavalry, a full 300 cavalry, and it was gone.
The human and horse corpses were stacked on top of each other, creating a huge obstacle to the march of the cavalry behind. Inevitably, the charging posture of these cavalry was much weakened by having to avoid the corpses of their comrades. They didn't wait, as soon as the bullets in the submachine pistol magazine were finished, they directly shook their shoulders, pinned the submachine pistol to their waists, and then drew out their cavalry knives and prepared for battle. The company's horses are well-fed and nutritionally balanced, and it has only been long before they have ushered in their second growth, with stronger charging speed and stamina.
A British cavalryman was still riding his horse to dodge the corpses of his comrades, and Hammer rushed up. With a wave of the cavalry knife in his hand, the British cavalry, who had not yet reacted, had his head chopped off. Six hundred cavalry rushed in, six hundred cavalry swords were waved one by one, and at least three hundred more were killed. At this time, nearly a third of them went, two thousand cavalry, and there were only one thousand and fourteen left. From one to three, to now one to two, Hamo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With a sharp stab in his right hand, he stabbed a spear at him, and the British cavalry, which was blocked by the cuirass and heart guards, chopped off his horse. The two cavalry battalions of the 1st Field Brigade relied on their armor and rampaged among the British cavalry. However, some British cavalry discovered the weakness of the armpits that were not protected by cuirass, but there were also snipers from the Night Stalker Special Reconnaissance Battalion behind them. To be able to become a sniper, it is an existence that listens to six ways and sees all directions, but he is almost there, and he doesn't have an observer.
About half of these people who could pose a threat to the company's cavalry attracted sniper bullets. Before he had time, the blade was also blocked by the stab-proof suit, and there was no wound, and there was no bleeding, but the pain of bruises was inevitable. The cavalry, who could not fight any longer, forced their horses out of the battlefield, and the medical soldiers behind them immediately stepped forward to answer them when they came out, and began to massage their bruises with bruising and saffron oil.
The cavalry on this side fought well, and the other side was not far behind. James and Babu formed their cavalry later, and they were not as numerous as the cavalry in the hands of the Apaches. In order not to be ridiculed by the Apache, both of them were ruthless, and the training intensity and various rewards of the cavalry under their command were getting stronger day by day. So, in comparison, the combat effectiveness is not much worse. Even later, the number of James' cavalry came up, and it did not change.
It's just that the British cavalry on this road is also very elite, and the baptism of a wave of submachine pistol bullets only killed more than 200 people, and took advantage of this time to charge and close the battle, and more than 100 people were killed, which was much worse than the results of Hamo. Fortunately, there were a large number of fighters in the Guards Regiment and a large number of submachine guns, and under the cover of the rear, they also fought well. Adolf didn't just send out the cavalry, but also followed by a thousand new troops.
It's just that the infantry of the new army has to run, or Adolf is afraid that it will not be safe, so he was temporarily transferred, and he is still running behind. Xiao Lin was a little anxious, if he was rushed up by this thousand new troops, the cavalry of the second and third brigades would be a little difficult to do. Just as he was about to transfer the soldiers of the two field divisions to block them, he didn't expect a roar to erupt from the cavalry on both sides almost at the same time. Then, the attack speed and attack intensity, all of a sudden, increased a lot.
Xiao Lin was frightened, and watched in a daze as his cavalry suddenly erupted, and then hacked many enemies to death. Xiao Lin didn't expect that these cavalrymen, who had entered the real large-scale actual combat for the second time, would still have this hand. Cavalry, as the most powerful branch of the army for thousands of years, has its own honor. The cavalry of the company actually have a lot of worries in their hearts. The company's firearms grew more and more powerful, even to the point where they were strong enough to suppress the charge of cavalry clusters.
Not to mention the British cavalry, even themselves, they are not sure to break through. They were all a little scared, maybe by the back, the cavalry formation would disappear. In these last days, they must play the glory of cavalry.
