Beiyang 1917

Sure enough, despite the approach of the Soviet Red Army cavalry, the roar of Maxim heavy machine guns also sounded from the White Guards position, and then, the roar of cannons was heard from the artillery position north of the railway station, although it sounded like the artillery was not densely packed. At most, it was the posture of an artillery company with six cannons, but the shells accurately fell into the charging ranks of the Soviet Red Army cavalry, and every explosion point harvested life and overturned people and horses.

Sorohekin, who rushed to the front, was also an experienced cavalry commander. Seeing this, he shouted and gave orders. He just ran into the Soviet Red Army cavalry battalion 800 meters away from the opponent's position. They turned their horses' heads one after another, while dispersing and dispersing as much as possible, while drawing a large arc, skimming the front of the White Guards' position and retreating back. Since the Soviet Russian Red Army cavalry was 800 meters away from the opponent's position, this In addition to the cannons and machine guns, the White Guard infantry in the trenches of the opposing position stared at this scene with blank eyes, and the range of the rifles in their hands could not be reached for a while.

There were a few unconvinced sharpshooters in the trenches of the White Guards who were reluctant to fire and shoot, but Twilight lowered their eyes and dimmed, and they could see the light trails drawn by the bullets flying all over the sky, but the Soviet Red Army brigade running farther and farther away was unable to shoot. However, it was the artillery and heavy machine guns of the White Guards that really achieved results.

When Sorohekin’s cavalry battalion was withdrawn, it lost about 20 people. The casualties were not large, most of them were overturned by shells. Although Maxim’s effective range exceeded 1500 meters, he had to fight in the dark 800 to 1000 meters away, the cavalry who charged in the skirmish line had a much lower hit rate than expected. More importantly, the commander of the White Guards was obviously calm, facing a cavalry The charge of the battalion, this guy only used less than 3 Maxims to intercept the shot.

Speaking of which, the Maxim machine gun unit pulled by one of the three carriages that provided fire cover for the Sorohkin Cavalry Battalion was relatively unlucky. Although the artillery fire of the White Guards was not intensive, it was obvious that they gave priority to the machine gun firepower of the Soviet Red Army. A three-set carriage was accidentally cut off by shrapnel while avoiding the artillery fire of the White Guards. It was unbearable to use, and the Soviet Russian Red Army soldiers in the heavy machine gun group also lost their combat effectiveness with one death and two injuries.

"Political commissar, the enemy is sticking to their positions and not attacking! They are not fooled!" Belov, the chief of staff of the cavalry detachment, shouted in disappointment.

"If the opponent has cavalry, they will definitely chase them out. Looking at it now, not only does the opponent have no cavalry, but even the armored train is not there. Looking at the opponent's reaction when we made a tentative attack just now, only 3 Maxim heavy machine guns fired, and the artillery only The strength of a company is really difficult!" Xiadenko said to himself while continuing to observe the movement of the enemy in the direction of Reskovo with a telescope. ..

"What's so difficult? Political commissar, we can't just let it go. The troops lost just now are almost a platoon. If you ask me, we still have to use firepower to overwhelm the opponent. Let's move up the heavy machine gun battalion? I don't believe we can't defeat them! Chief of Staff Belov said a little impatiently.

"Heavy machine gun battalion? The opponent's artillery position is on the north side of the station, and the station building in front blocks it. We can't reach them at all. Although the White Guards have less artillery, their tactics are advanced. They use weapons based on parameters and observation posts. Report, the shells follow a curve, and they are quite accurate! We must get rid of this artillery position, or we will suffer too much!" Xia Jianke replied without turning his head.

"Comrade detachment leader, the enemy was not fooled. Fortunately, our casualties were not large. In my opinion, we must find a way to suppress the enemy's firepower, otherwise the charge is worthless!" After so little effort, Sorohekin was already out of breath. He ran back on his horse and reported at the foot of the hillside. Behind him was a large group of Soviet Russian Red Army cavalry soaked in water. Hundreds of people and horses were panting together.

"Comrade Battalion Commander, you have completed your mission very well. Let the 1st Cavalry Battalion get off their horses and rest first, and we will wait to see if the other party will chase them out," Xia Jiake ordered.

"Report to the brigade commander, the enemy in the southeast direction has been repulsed, commander Ignashevich asked if you want to pursue it?" Kolodin, the brigade chief of staff, put down the phone and said to Roslavlev.

"Chasing your head, I said Denis Mikhainovich, don't you see that the opponent is cavalry and we are infantry, how can you chase after you? Besides, if you don't chase you well, you will fall into the opponent's trap. The most urgent thing is to find out. The enemy's forces, have you caught any prisoners?" Roslavlev, commander of the 3th Brigade of the 6rd Division of the Kazan Infantry, said angrily.

"Antonio Kagalovich, my brigade commander, the enemy turned around and ran back 800 meters away, and you stopped him from pursuing him. Where did the prisoners come from? Why don't we send a company?" Horse-drawn heavy machine gun attack? Get a few wounded from the Soviet Red Army to come back and interrogate, so as to find out the truth of the opponent?" Kolodin muttered unconvinced.

"A company of horse-drawn machine guns? Denis Mikhainovich, you are really extravagant. You can send a squad of scout cavalry over there. You can fly a white flag and find a way to drag a few Soviet Russian prisoners who are not dying. Come back! In addition, send a report to the division commander and the chief of staff to report the enemy situation found here!" Roslavlev put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around and ordered.

"How can I say it, Antonio Kagalovich, does it mean that Reskovo found a Soviet Red Army cavalry battalion attacking us, and we have repelled it?" asked the brigade chief of staff Kolodin.

"Nonsense, let's just say that our department repelled a cavalry battalion of the Soviet Red Army that was fleeing to the front line of Reskovo to harass. We are currently learning more about the enemy's strength and designation! Just send it like this! The scout cavalry dispatched quickly, at least get me two Come back with a tongue!" Roslavlev shouted at his chief of staff.

Here, at the command position of the Soviet Red Army Cavalry Detachment, Xia Jianke was a little worried when he looked at Reskovo, who was unable to enter the oil and salt a few kilometers away. They can only make up for it by firepower, but when the cavalry attack the opponent's position and look down on the road and the ground, they obviously have to take a lot of risks.

"Report to the detachment leader, the enemy of Reskovo sent a messenger, about a squad of cavalry, came with a white flag! The battalion commander came to ask if we should fire?!" A communication cavalry ran from the forward position, pulling the horse Reported down the hillside.
