Beiyang 1917

>Sixteen se5 biplane fighter jets filed down from the sky, and carried out precise aerial sweeps and bombings of the Chapayev cavalry division that was still chasing at high speed on the ground like a play, with 64 25-pound aerial bombs Although the power is far from the greatest, the effect and power of blasting in a dense cavalry formation has already surpassed a salvo of 64 field cannons, which is enough for a salvo of an artillery company. (_)

What's more, the weight and power of 76 or 75 caliber field artillery shells are only half of that of 25-pound aerial bombs. Chapayev was protected by his orderly jumping off his horse, and finally escaped a bomb that fell from the sky. The cavalry was not so lucky. The lethality produced by the dense explosions and machine gun bullets in the dense cavalry formation was absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

By the time the sixteen coalition SE5 fighter jets pulled up and scattered in order to form again at a low altitude, more than half of Chapayev's avant-garde regiment had suffered casualties, and the ground was full of dead people and dead horses. Half of one ear is bleeding profusely!

"Master! Hurry up, we don't even have a machine gun, how can we beat a plane with a cavalry gun! The whole division will be wiped out after so many sweeps!" Chapayev Cavalry Division Political Commissar and Second Brigade Commander Fumano The husband appeared from the smoke with a gunpowder face and rushed to his teacher's side. His mount had already been killed, and his leg seemed to be injured a little bit!

"Hey! This battle is fought, really useless! Blow the trumpet, order, the whole division retreats under the leadership of the political commissar, and take the wounded! The Jingwei battalion leaves behind! Fumanov, your horses retreat first! "As he said, Chapayev picked up the Mosin Nagant from the ground, half-kneeled, picked up the gun, and shot at the SE5 fighter jet at a height of [-] meter in the sky. He fired three shots, and the bullets didn't know where they went. !

The fellow threw down his gun resentfully, and sat down on the ground. The cavalrymen of the Jingwei Battalion who had escaped the sweeping and bombing by the coalition planes all got up from the ground one after another. Many of them had already died. About one-third of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion have been killed, and as many as half of the wounded. Many unowned horses are wandering in the smoke. ***

Political Commissar Fumanov led a horse from a police guard, got back on the horse, waved the saber in his hand and shouted, "The whole division listens to the command of the division commander and disperses to retreat westward! The Jingwei battalion led the division commander Go first, the first battalion of the second regiment will stay behind!"

In fact, unless the fighters of a squadron keep sweeping at low altitude repeatedly, it is not so easy to block the three cavalry regiments. The greatest power of air strikes is the psychological pressure on the ground troops, because this is a one-sided massacre and lacks effective air defense. It is not wise for the cavalry division of weapons to fight with the sweeping planes with rifles. Fortunately, the SE5 fighter squadron of the coalition forces in the sky is not specially here to attack the ground. This squadron is just the Hawkeye hovering slowly in the sky It's just the escort squadron for the pre-jing plane.

The Eagle Eye has been tracking the movement of the main force of the South Cluster at an altitude of [-] meters. When it found a Red Army cavalry division chasing a White Guard cavalry brigade on the ground, it did not intend to intervene, but found that those who escaped could not escape. After chasing after him vigorously, he ordered the escorting fighter jets to go down to rescue the White Guard cavalry brigade.

When Chabayev was attacked by the coalition forces, Petrovich's cavalry brigade had already turned its horse's head. Looking at the scene of blood and fire in front of it, it was surprised and happy, but this guy also recognized that the sky was just a fighter jet. If it was a heavy bomber, none of the Russian Chapayev ace cavalry division on the opposite side today would run away. Since it is just a fighter jet with limited ammunition, it is estimated that the opponent may not be able to stop it if it really wants to rush over recklessly.

"Commander, the fighter planes of the coalition forces are really impressive! This guy has killed at least two battalions of the opponent. Shall we fight or withdraw?" Xiao Pochka, the commander of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, said excitedly, completely forgetting that he had fought with the whole brigade just now. I'm in a panic and don't know what to do!

"Of course! But we can't rush over and compete with them with sabers. We have fewer people! If there is a scuffle, the coalition planes in the sky can't speak for help. Order, the whole brigade dismounts to form a circular defense line, and the squad uses machine guns to build The firepower of machine guns and mortars are all dismounted and ready for battle!"

Soon, 45 tired, panting and sweating Cossacks got off their horses and launched a defensive line on the spot. The combination of machine gun firepower and Garand rifles made the Cossacks on the temporary position get off their horses and their combat effectiveness rose to a higher level.

It's a pity that Chabayev on the opposite side has already ordered to retreat, so he put up a stance and prepared to bully the opponent with firepower to get some cheap Petrovic failed to welcome the opponent's attack. In addition, the well-organized and trained Red Army cavalry divisions have gathered their troops and retreated to a meter away, and are still retreating westward.

"He fucks! You've been busy for nothing, what are you still doing with the mortar, give me a blast!" Petrovich scolded his mother angrily!

The Second Ural Cavalry Army has just been equipped with two types of mortars deployed by the coalition headquarters. The 6 mortars are equipped to the platoon, and each platoon governs a 2-door 6 mortar squad, while the caliber mortars are equipped to the battalion. , each battalion has a mortar platoon with one gate!

In such a short time, a battalion of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade's mortar platoon and a total of mortars were in place, and one after another dense mortar shells chased the retreating Chapayev Cavalry Division's buttocks. Although the Chapayev cavalry division has retreated westward across the mountains and plains in a scattered formation, Petrovic's mortar salvo still achieved considerable results.

After all, cavalrymen and horses have a big target, and they cannot lie down so easily as infantrymen. Hearing the raindrops of shells chirping in the air, there is really no good way to go as far as they can go forward except pulling the reins of the horses.

The battalion mortars made in China have a firing range of up to 2000 meters, and a grenade weighs 6 kilograms. This power is almost as strong as that of field artillery, so Chapayev’s cavalry division ran out for a distance of 2 meters to 2 meters. After running two kilometers away, the guard regiment was almost crippled, with more than [-] battalions of new casualties, and the soldiers of the Red Army Cavalry Division changed color after hearing the chirp.

The division commander, Chapayev, was even more angry. He didn't expect that the Cossack Cavalry of the White Guards, who were thought to be weak, were equipped with so many mortars, and their range and power were quite powerful!It seems that the weapons of our Red Army are really outdated!

"Hey! If it weren't for the fear of being caught by the infantry division with tens of thousands of people behind him, I should have sent artillery to beat him up in Acehkovo!" Petrovic was even more regretful here, of course, Looking back at the high-spirited mortar soldiers who were grinning from ear to ear, Pochka, the commander of the Seventh Brigade, also approached with joy and said,

"Commander, Commander, the Chinese guns are really powerful, and they are light and easy to carry. In the future, don't mess with the Malashan cannon. The wild cannon is too heavy. Let's equip more of this mortar! It's so easy to use. Already!"

"You still say! If you hadn't dragged the army commander to retreat so that they ran so out of breath and so embarrassed, if we were closer just now, 24 mortars with 6 mortars fired at each other, and the opposite side was right How can Bayev retreat?" Petrovich said proudly, puffing out his chest.

The Chinese-made platoon 6 mortar has a maximum range of 5 meters, and the grenade weighs [-] kilograms. It is much less powerful than the mortar, but it still poses a considerable threat to the enemy at close range.

"Yes, my subordinates have arranged the artillery in advance, and beat them well! But, commander, should we withdraw or what? It's been a long time and the brothers are really tired!" Little Pochka asked.

"Retreat? Go clean up the battlefield first. Let's chase all the way. Can't go back empty-handed? Bring back all the surviving horses on the opposite side, and leave the wounded where they are. You can take care of the prisoners. You can pack up the weapons and ammunition and don't leave them behind. Don't worry, go boldly, aren't the coalition planes in the sky still here? The mortar group is always covering you, and Chapayev has no strength to return to his carbine!"

Petrovich looked arrogant after winning the battle.
