Gurney Koli, the commander of the Jingwei company of the First Army Command of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Union, did not choose to retreat following the call-in horn that sounded behind him. Although the shooting had stopped on the coalition positions, almost all of the company was killed on this land. , What face does he have when he goes back alone to meet the commander and the division commander's political commissars? Although Gurney Koli, who came from a poor peasant family in the Don River Basin, couldn't understand why the coalition forces let him and his horse alone, but he and his beloved Your horse must not be the laughing stock of the whole army.

Thinking of this, the cavalry company commander Gurney Koli turned his horse's head and gave a military salute in the direction of Tukhachevsky and the division commander's political commissars who were watching and commanding on the hillside in the distance behind him. The comrades in the former company who had lost their lives saluted, put their legs on the horse's belly, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the center of the coalition's position, with tears in their eyes, while waving a saber, While roaring "Ula", he rushed to the position of the Second Company of the Allied Forces.

Seeing this tragic scene, the atmosphere on the front of the two armies has become depressing. Although the green horse is very tired, but the master's passionate call still makes it muster the last of its physical strength and run quickly, galloping towards the enemy's position. .

With a sound of "snap!" and the clear gunshot, the Soviet Red Army soldier and cavalry company commander Gurni Koli, who single-handedly launched the final charge, fell headfirst from the green horse, leaving only the unknown mount still facing the direction of the coalition army position. Run away. . .

Tukhachevsky watched this scene silently on the hillside 1300 meters away. In war, the enemy is very powerful, and he is a bit reckless. Although the machine gun never fired, Juebu said that the opponent did not arrange heavy machine gun firepower points on the position, but the fortifications were relatively concealed.

"Comrade commander, go back quickly, or the cavalry of the coalition forces will rush out to capture us prisoners." Hashimov, the commander of the 31st Division of the Turkestan Infantry, kindly reminded his comrade commander of the group army!

The commander of the army group turned his head and glanced at the guy, feeling disgusted for no reason, snorted in his nose, Hashimov blushed involuntarily, pulled his horse back two steps, Tukhachevsky raised his head He saluted the dead soldiers of the cavalry company lying on the ground in the center of the position with his hands, and the other division commanders and political commissars hurriedly followed suit. Then Tukhachevsky turned his horse's head and rode down the hillside to greet He galloped away from his main assembly position in the northwest direction, and the remaining division commanders of the First Army followed closely behind.

The cavalry division commander Chapayev stayed at the end. He took a deep look at the battlefield where the corpses were strewn all over the place, turned his horse's head and followed. The division commander, Comrade Xia Boyang, had never felt so heavy. For the first time, he felt that maybe Even if a division is sent to attack, it may not be able to take down the town held by a battalion in the coalition area!

In fact, the predicament that Tukhachevsky and Chapayev are facing today can be found everywhere in Wang Geng’s previous war history. As early as 1891, the British colonial army fought against the Zulus in Rhodesia. fighting.A small detachment of 50 British troops used 4 Maxim heavy machine guns to repel the attack of 5000 Zulus, killing 3000 Zulus, which fully demonstrated the power of heavy machine guns.

In the Battle of the Somme in the European War, the British army that launched the offensive lost 100 people under the fiery firepower of the German heavy machine guns on the first day. At that time, the density of the German heavy machine guns on the position was only an average of 08 meters. That's it, after the Soviet Red Army lost its cannons and its own Maxim heavy machine guns, faced with so many light and heavy machine gun firepower of the Sterlitamak garrison on the two-kilometer position, it relied solely on crowd tactics and platoon shooting capabilities. Failure to win has become a question on the minds of the commanders on both sides of the battlefield at this time!

"Report to the battalion commander, the enemy has retreated! This green horse is really a good horse, I brought it here for you! We also captured more than [-] good horses that were not injured, and they are all taken to the stables now. It's tied!" In the yard, the second company commander Wang Xiaomi was holding the green horse that survived the catastrophe proudly, and was presenting treasures to the battalion commander Li Fugui who commanded the position on the roof!

"You keep that horse for yourself. You have entered the second-line position to rest, and you have changed to the third-line position. How many casualties did you have just now?" Battalion Commander Li Fugui poked his head out from the attic, and said in a dejected manner.

"Hi! I said Battalion Commander. The rider on this horse looks to be a company commander of the Soviet Red Army. He just got shot in the shoulder and scratched his skin. He fell down and fainted. He has been rescued now." He was bandaged and locked up next to the infirmary. The prisoner was dying and couldn't die, but he was already so tired that he fell asleep! We didn't even have any casualties, no one was killed, and two were injured. There are no critical injuries, and they have already been sent to the infirmary together with the captives!"

Wang Xiaomi, the commander of the second company, knew why his battalion commander was a little depressed, so he hurriedly reported in the yard.

"Ha! That's good! That's good! Let the medics take care of him. This man is a brave soldier. We treat the prisoners preferentially! Wang Xiaomi, when will you, the company commander, treat death like others and go forward bravely, let me see?" In the attic, Li Fugui felt better when he heard the words, and started making fun of his subordinates.

"Hey! Let me tell you, Battalion Commander, why are we as stupid as that old man? I didn't say anything. When I, Wang Xiaomi, led the Second Company to sacrifice, blink my eyebrows. I'm not the cavalry company commander of our army! I said Battalion Commander, did you really give me this green horse?" Wang Xiaomi patted her chest to express her determination, and finally asked again.

"Tch, when does the battalion commander speak? Not only does this green horse belong to you, but you also have to pick the horses captured by the second company just now, and pick the rest and send them to the battalion stables!" Li Fugui laughed loudly. laughed.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. If you want to say where the old man got so many good horses, it's a pity that nearly a hundred horses were killed just now. Otherwise, our battalion could pull another cavalry company!" Wang Xiaomi turned on the green horse, clamped his legs, and the horse was indeed a horse, and rushed out of the courtyard with a whoosh.

In the attic on the roof, Li Fugui observed the movement of the Soviet Red Army in the northwest direction with a telescope, and at the same time told the correspondent Xiao Ma, "Send my order and send a report to the Ufa coalition headquarters. Our department reappeared 10 minutes ago. Repel an attack of the size of a cavalry company of the Soviet Red Army, killed more than 120 enemies, captured dozens of horses, and a company commander of the Soviet Red Army. Now the enemy is planning a new attack, and the coalition air force has not yet arrived. Please Ufa The aviation team rushed to support our department as soon as possible! It is expected that the enemy's next attack will launch soon!"
