Beiyang 1917

The commander of the second cavalry regiment of the [-]th Brigade, who was reinforced by the coalition forces from Solochinsk, was defeated in the first battle. He was surrounded by the opponent and ate three cavalry companies. How could such a shame and humiliation be endured? Antonikov, who had already detoured to the south, ordered the [-]th Company, which had run back from the [-]st Battalion, to join the [-]nd and [-]rd Battalions to build a position by the river, relying on highlands and woods.

At the same time, this guy also left three company Browning heavy machine guns from the fourth battalion and the battalion mortar platoon to build a position together, and he only brought the light cavalry from the fourth battalion and flew north.

When I arrived at the battlefield where the first battalion was ambushed just three kilometers away to the north, I happened to see the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army 1000 meters away across the opposite side shooting the subordinates I had captured just now. , turned his head and shouted at the more than 500 cavalrymen of the fourth battalion,

"Did you see it? This is what happens when you put down your weapons. You all have to be careful. Whoever dares to put down their weapons in my subordinates will be a dead man! I absolutely don't want this Budyonny cavalry unit on the opposite side." One captive, drive them all to death!"

The more than 500 coalition cavalry behind them saw their captured comrades were shot in front of the position with their hands tied like birds, and they yelled in unison with the head of the regiment, "Never be a prisoner! Drive them all to death! Avenge your comrades-in-arms! "

There is a lot of movement here, and the Soviet Red Army 1000 meters away has already noticed, and there is a hustle and bustle on the opposite side. Those who got on their horses got on their horses, and those who were about to run ran, and those who were about to charge were about to charge. If you want to say that little Antonikov It's a cowardly master, he didn't mess up at all when he saw the situation, and ordered the platoon's mortars to get off their horses and deploy their gun positions, and first give the other party a dismount to get back some interest.

Each company of the 60th Battalion has six 1300mm platoon mortars on horseback. For the coalition platoon mortars with a range of 1000 meters, the distance of 16 meters is just enough to make it very enjoyable. The 1.5 platoons of mortars were quickly put in place. With a wave of Antonikov's hand, a string of [-] kg mortar shells flew over like sparrows across the sparse woods.

Crowds smashed into the cavalry of the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side, setting off a bloody storm. The Soviet Red Army brigade on the opposite side slammed away to avoid the sudden mortar bombardment, while turning their horses' heads from the two wings. He rushed over, and the sound of the freshly seized Browning heavy machine gun also rang out, and the chaotic machine gun bullets knocked down the branches and leaves of the small forest here.

Little Antonikov saw that the opponent was fired five rounds of mortars in a row and knocked out at least more than 100 cavalrymen of the opponent. He avenged the captured subordinates who were slaughtered by the opponent just now. He saw a cavalry battalion rushed out from each side of the opponent The terrain here was unfavorable, Antonikov gave an order, and the [-]th Battalion packed up the platoon mortars, and followed its commander to turn around and retreat southward.

An excellent battlefield commander has enough sensitivity and anticipation to the ever-changing battlefield situation. The platoon of mortars 1000 meters away from Antonikov Jr. put Gorodovikov's second cavalry regiment into a panic , but the actual casualties were not as large as expected, and there were only more than 150 casualties.

Gorodovikov had just seized a lot of coalition weapons at this moment, and there was really no place to use them, so he immediately ordered someone to set up the m1918a3 Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun that he regarded as a treasure. The shooting began, and the Soviet Red Army, who were accustomed to seeing water-cooled heavy machine guns, saw the legendary new weapon of the Allied Forces at close range for the first time.

This air-cooled heavy machine gun is light and beautiful, and it is convenient to use. Moreover, the shooting accuracy and power are obviously good, but the captured bullets are not too many, only two 350-round ammunition chains, and the Soviet Red Army seized As soon as this air-cooled Browning heavy machine gun fired, the mortar shooting of the opposing coalition forces stopped immediately, and they could be seen across the woods as they mounted their horses and retreated south.

This made division political commissar Xia Tenke and brigade commander Gorodovikov overjoyed. Nima, a heavy machine gun has such power. If he also eats up the remaining three battalions of the coalition cavalry regiment opposite him, he will be captured. The machine guns and mortars are at least enough to equip a new Soviet Red Army cavalry division!

The 30 newly captured M1 Garand semi-automatic riding rifles have also become the object of contention for Gorodovikov's subordinates. Several regiment and battalion commanders want to get one for their guards, but Gorodovikov With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the retreating coalition cavalry behind the opposite woods,

"Good gun! Everyone likes it. The coalition forces on the opposite side have some. Pass my order. The first battalion of the second regiment will attack from the left, the second battalion will attack from the right, the third battalion will go up with me and the political commissar, and the fourth battalion will leave one company. Clean up the battlefield, we will eat all the coalition forces on the opposite side!"

Before the words fell, the two cavalry battalions of the second regiment and Polala rushed out. Since more than one-third of the casualties were just now, there were less than 400 cavalry left in each battalion at this moment, but they rushed out with red eyes. Standing up to snatch the spoils and capture them, their eyes were so violent that they could kill a cow. More than 800 Russian Red Army cavalrymen chased after them, yelling "Ula".

The brigade commander Gorodovikov and the division political commissar Xia Jianke were not to be outdone, and led the third battalion with the largest number of troops, nearly 500 cavalry, to attack from the middle. More than 1300 Red Army cavalry swarmed 1000 meters away without fear of death. Antonikov's more than 500 coalition cavalry chased after them.

Speaking of Antonikov's detour from east to south, he really escaped here. Detour from west to north, the two sides are like yin and yang fish eyes drawn with a Tai Chi diagram.

Later, the [-]nd Red Army Cavalry Brigade led by Xia Tenko and Gorodovikov and the [-]nd Allied Cavalry Regiment pursued by the opposing Allied Forces Antonikov turned into an exchange of positions, and the offensive and defensive positions were changed. to the void.

By the time Ryabyshev led the Kalmyk regiment out of breath and came back from a big circle in the north, the battlefield here was cleaned up. Of course, the tragic situation of more than 400 dead soldiers and more than 600 wounded in the second regiment It also made the Mongolian Red Army cavalry of the circuitous Kalmyk regiment feel sympathetic.

Ryabyshev, the head of the Kalmyk regiment, also scratched his head when he saw this, and thought to himself, didn't the orderer say that he had wiped out the opponent's three cavalry companies? Why did the second regiment suffer so many casualties? With less than half the troops, what kind of victory is this!

Dmitry Ivanovich Ryabyshev, commander of the 1894st Regiment of the [-]nd Brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division (Kalmyk Regiment), was born in Rostov region in [-], also a Don Cossack Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to participate in the two Rostov battles in the early days of the European War. This guy started his military career as a private.

He had a similar experience with the generals of the Red Army who were born in the same era. He fought against the German army in the west. Unfortunately, he failed to become a victor in the two Eastern Front wars. The Russian army fought very badly. What pleases the soldiers, and the Bolshevik ideology and social min zhu ideology can spread among the soldiers for one simple reason—they are all cursing the tsarist regime.

In October 1917 Rybyshev joined the Red Guards and became a member of the Bolsheviks, an active supporter of the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies.

In the full-scale civil war that broke out in 1918, Ryabyshev, who followed Gorodovikov to fight in the Kalmyk Regiment, became a cavalry hero in three battles defending Tsaritsyn, and received a very rare award at the time. Two Orders of the Red Banner, an honor no less than the Gold Star of the later Hero of the Soviet Union, and his bravery is worthy of his name Dmitry.

As a Budyonny-style cavalry hero, he changed from an ordinary cavalryman at the beginning of the civil war to the current head of the Kalmyk regiment by virtue of his bravery, determination and luck before death.

In Wang Geng's previous life, Ryabyshev later served as the commander of the First Cavalry Army. This honor allowed him to escape the great purge in the future. The commander of the army jumped to the commander of the Soviet Russian Southern Front, but that was in the early days of World War II, and the irony is that in the position of commander of the Southern Front, this fellow experienced failure or failure.

Of course, at this moment, in this time and space in 1918, the 24-year-old head of the Kalmyk regiment is still a heroic and fearless head. There are fierce gunshots and mortars roaring from the south. After the transfer, the battle between the Soviet Russian Red Army and the coalition forces entered the original mode that made all the Soviet Russian Red Army soldiers terrified.

That is, the Soviet Russian Red Army with a large number of people is attacking, and the coalition forces with few people but well-equipped are defending.

Ryabyshev didn't understand. Didn't he win a field battle just now, so he continued to play hide-and-seek with the coalition forces in the field? Why did he start to return to the mode of positional warfare? The young regiment A layer of irritability floated up in Zhang Chang's heart for no reason, and he ruthlessly twitched the horse that had been a little weak in his crotch, and rushed to the south with more than 2000 cavalry from the Kalmyk regiment!
