Beiyang 1917

Nerikov's [-]rd Ural Cavalry Division of the Allied Army is a Cossack cavalry with a strong crony color. The division commander is Alasti Mikhainovich Nerikov, the division chief of staff and the sixth brigade The head is Nerikov's cousin Poshka Ivanovich *vsky.

The commander of the fifth brigade is Nerikov's cousin Dominik Mikhainovich Negev, and the two cavalry commanders under Negev are brothers again, the eldest brother Alek Xie Hashkovich Antonikov is the head of the first regiment of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade, and his younger brother Alexei Hashkovich Antonikov is the head of the second regiment.

This is a young age, and it is also an era of heroes. Antonikov Jr. is only 24 years old, as old as his brigade commander. The reinforcements from Zuluke Town also ran nearly [-] kilometers in the morning, and the men and horses were very tired.

After leaving the artillery company and the regiment Jingwei company on the east side of Buzuluk Town and assigned them to the division headquarters to personally command, according to the division commander's order, the regiment commander Antonikov led his cavalry regiment to the south and chased them southward. After chasing for [-] kilometers, I really copied the back of the cavalry brigade led by Xia Jianke, who was photographed by the Russian Red Army in a roundabout way.

Little Antonikov was more violent and impatient than his compatriot brother Antonikov the Great. This man let the vanguard battalion follow the opponent's rearguard, and led the main force of the cavalry regiment to take a detour from the east. The road conditions on the way to Buzuluk are a little better than those in the west, so the mount managed to run one more time.

In the end, the coalition cavalry regiment led by Antonikov Jr. had a big battle with the cavalry brigade led by Gorodovikov's cavalry brigade led by Xia Tenke, the political commissar of the Russian Red Army Cavalry Division.

Although Xia Tenko is the political commissar, he directly handed over the combat command of the second brigade to the brigade commander Gorodovikov. The second cavalry brigade formed by the Kalmyk cavalry regiment, of course, requires the creation of this heroic unit. Those who bring it by themselves.

Since the coalition army pursued the little Antonikov and led the main force of the regiment to the east to fight back, Gorodovikov thought at first that the opponent was a cavalry battalion harassing troops, so this guy asked the first regiment of the second brigade (The Kalmyk regiment) quietly went down to the bank of the Buzuluk River to outflank and roundabout in the opposite direction to the north. Xia Jianke, the political commissar of the division, led the second regiment to retreat southward.

Just like Budyonny's dragging the knife back to the carbine that he wanted to use on the west side of the Domashika River, Gorodovikov planned to lure the enemy into the depths and turn back to eat the opponent's cavalry battalion in one bite. Machine guns and mortars enrich the firepower and weaponry of your troops.

Whether it is the Browning squad machine gun, the Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun, the M1 Garand semi-automatic cavalry rifle, or the mortars of two calibers belonging to the platoon and battalion in the hands of the coalition cavalry, they are all infantry light weapons of this era. The outstanding ones, in terms of the weapons and equipment of the coalition cavalry, are much better and more advanced than the Soviet Red Army cavalry, which only has Mosin Nagan riding a rifle.

Gorodovikov led the second regiment to retreat south and set up an ambush circle in advance, and asked the commander of the second regiment, Prokofi Logvinovich Romanenko, to lead the rear battalion and the cavalry battalion of the coalition army behind him. Bringing in his own encirclement, and the first regiment to weave back along the river from below the towering bank, became his secret weapon against the enemy's follow-on forces, if the allied forces came with more than a battalion of cavalry.

Budyonny dreamed of fighting the coalition forces in the field in order to avoid the huge firepower advantage of the coalition forces in positional warfare. Comrade Commander and the First Brigade did not find a chance in the west of the Domashika River. The Second Brigade seized an opportunity east of the Buzuluk River.

Since the main force of the regiment led by Antonikov Jr. of the Allied Forces was a bit far away, when the battle started, more than 500 people from the main battalion of the Tenth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade of the Third Cavalry Division of the Allied Forces faced the Soviet Red Army rushing from all directions. The entire regiment of more than 2200 cavalry was ambushed and hurriedly retreated to a suitable terrain to defend against danger. The two sides quickly mingled together and became one.

What's more terrible is that the coalition cavalry battalion commander Sasha and the battalion guard platoon who ran into the opponent's ambush circle were at the forefront of the team, and were shot to the ground by the dense platoon of guns ambushed by the opponent's position by the woods, becoming Neriko. The first battalion commander of Fu's third division died in battle, and the cavalry battalion, which lost its command, failed to seize the opportunity to retreat to a favorable terrain to start defense.

The four cavalry companies of the coalition army were divided and broke through the formation by the cavalry of the four battalions of the opposing army shouting Ulla and brandishing sabers. The Browning heavy machine guns on the horses were rushed by the opposing cavalry before they even had time to move down to shoot. After a face-to-face meeting, the three cavalry companies had been torn apart by Gorodovikov's cavalry regiment. Although the Browning squad used machine guns and three M1 Garand semi-automatic cavalry rifles in each squad, the firepower was still overwhelming. Gorodovikov's cavalry regiment took heavy casualties.

However, in the melee, the coalition cavalry battalion, whose strength was less than a quarter of the opponent's, had no time to deploy heavy machine guns and mortar positions. In the field battle, only the fourth company, which was regarded as an established organization, withdrew, and the remaining three companies were taken by the Soviet Red Army. The crowd of cavalry was flooded. After a short and fierce fighting, more than 200 coalition cavalry were killed and more than 100 cavalry were captured, half of them were wounded.

Gorodovikov won the battle at a very heavy price. The Browning squad of the coalition army used machine guns and M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles to cause heavy casualties to his second regiment. Nearly 300 Soviet Russian Red Army The cavalry was killed, more than 500 were wounded, and the second regiment lost a third of its strength.

The heavy casualties of the Red Army cavalry were mainly caused by the head-on charge of the opponent's machine gun fire. If all the 4 Browning air-cooled heavy machine guns in the cavalry battalion of the coalition army fired, the battle would be impossible to win. How many Red Army cavalry Even rushing forward was shredded by the opponent's scorching machine gun bullets, but in fact, the coalition forces only had the fourth company behind, and in the end they only had time to launch a heavy machine gun attack.

The machine gunners of the Browning squad machine guns equipped in each platoon of the coalition cavalry are almost all Soviet Russian Red Army cavalry who were brave and fearless when they changed the magazine in a hurry after firing 20 bullets in the magazine. Cut down with a saber.

The battle was short and fierce, with so many casualties on both sides, but the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army finally won a battle, perhaps because the Soviet Red Army has been aggrieved since they stepped on the right bank of the Volga River. The short and fierce battle caused heavy casualties to Gorodovikov's second regiment, perhaps the red Cossack cavalry often did this when they were in Tsaritsyn.

After being encircled during the battle, more than 100 coalition cavalry prisoners were captured. The white Cossacks were shot on the spot by Gorodovikov's red Cossacks after a brief interrogation!Gorodovikov and his subordinates may just be out of control temporarily or need to vent.

Or because of the gunshots from the east, it was obvious that the main force of the cavalry regiment on the other side had already turned around and killed them. In short, more than 100 prisoners of the coalition cavalry battalion were shot dead in front of the position. The fate of the army in the future, of course, the red Cossacks still don't know what kind of team the coalition army on the opposite side is.

In their view, due to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, it is often impossible to continue combat operations with prisoners. At this time, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the White Guards on the opposite side, it is too common to shoot the other side's prisoners, but it is the easiest choice.

As the political commissar of the division, Xia Jianke, the division's political department under his leadership would never stand up against it at this time. Cossacks in this era, whether they are red or white, have always been cruel to the enemy. In Wang Geng's previous life, the red Cossacks of the Budyonny Cavalry Army were never merciless in killing the enemy, whether they were prisoners or not, because father and son brothers stood in different camps, it was not uncommon for them to be merciful, but it is more mainstream to turn each other against each other to the death!

For Political Commissar Xia Tenke and Second Brigade Commander Gorodovikov, although the annihilation of the three cavalry companies of the coalition army is not a big achievement, compared with their own casualties, which are not as many as theirs, it is still a big achievement. One victory was won in the field, and the capture was quite impressive.

In addition to the weapons and equipment damaged in the battle or destroyed by the coalition cavalry themselves, the Soviet Red Army seized the standard weapons of the coalition from the battlefield for the first time, including six intact Browning machine guns and one air-cooled machine gun. Browning heavy machine guns, 60 12mm caliber platoon mortars, and nearly 30 intact M1 Garand semi-automatic riding rifles.

It is a pity that the 8 battalion mortars deployed by the cavalry battalion of the coalition army moved with the fourth company of the cavalry, and they disappeared early at this moment.

Of course, due to the destruction of the coalition forces, the number of mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets that the Soviet Red Army soldiers can collect from the battlefield is not too much, especially with more than 100 mortar shells. More than 50 coalition horses were killed. Of course, the Soviet Russian Red Army cavalry lost more than 400 horses. These 50 horses are not enough to supplement.

There was not enough time left for Xiatenko and Gorodovikov to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Mortar shells from the main force of the cavalry regiment of the coalition army that had detoured to the south had already rained down on them.

Antonikov, the commander of the cavalry regiment of the coalition army, did not expect that his avant-garde battalion did not arrive in time to launch firepower, and he asked a cavalry regiment to make dumplings. Long Salsa deserves it!

If you don't die and run back, you will be shot by yourself!The Fifth Brigade of the Third Cavalry Division will be ashamed by the defeat of the Qianwei Battalion.

The company commander of the [-]th company of the Vanguard Battalion, Xiao Miaoka, is a clever company commander. He withdrew immediately and brought out the mortar platoon belonging to the battalion. Two mounts who charged too hard were beaten on the way. A prisoner of the Soviet Russian Red Army who fell down after death.

The first prisoner who was brought to Antonikov Jr. looked arrogant and refused to speak, and Antonikov was so angry that he swung his saber and chopped it into two pieces. The second prisoner was spattered with the blood of his comrades. All over the body, when little Anthony swung his saber again, his legs softened and he sat down and finally spoke in detail about the situation of the Soviet Red Army.

This time, the combat intentions of both the enemy and the enemy are clear. Little Anthony was surprised when he heard that the opponent had a cavalry brigade with more than 4500 soldiers. He thought that the opponent had only one cavalry regiment. A cavalry brigade led by Johnny's divisional political commissar, and a regiment from the other side is turning back along the river bank from the north to take its own way!

The situation is a bit complicated, the troops are not dominant, and three companies were lost, and the enemy confiscated a lot of machine guns and mortars, but even so, the commander of the coalition cavalry regiment, Antonikov, showed no fear on his face. The team continued to go south and then west, made a circle, and went to the south of the Russian Red Army cavalry, letting their left flank lean against the Buzuluk River, with hills and woods behind them.

"The second battalion and the third battalion occupy the positions and deploy machine guns and mortar firepower. The heavy machine guns and battalion mortars of the fourth battalion are left behind. The rest of the battalion will come with me to see who is on the opposite side!" Little Anthony Polara took the lead He rushed out to the north, and the fourth battalion of cavalry hurriedly followed behind him.
