Beiyang 1917

() "What are you afraid of... the 8th regiment can't win the battle with one regiment? With me Budyonny, there is no battle that cannot be won. Didn't you just say that the commander of the 7th Cavalry Division of the Don River led the 13th Cavalry Brigade Did you go north to chase our reconnaissance battalion pretending to be the main force of the army? The commander of the enemy brigade in front of you is their chief of staff. Looking at the situation, they are afraid of wolves and tigers. Most likely they want to hold us back and wait for their 13th cavalry brigade Turn around from the north to outflank our rear! That's why this battle was fought so hard!"

Budyonny was chewing a piece of grass, while using a telescope to look at the cavalry battalion lined up with cavalry to attack him, and estimated the distance between the two sides, at least 1500 meters, and the cavalry on the other side were still walking in small steps. Moving forward, the ranks of the 4th Cavalry Battalion on the side of the Soviet Russian Red Army were scattered widely, and the sporadic shelling of the White Guards under the smog was becoming more and more inaccurate.

"Commander! Let's open fire! We don't have enough troops. If we put the enemy too close, I'm afraid that the main force behind the enemy will swarm up..." Brigadier Romanenko suggested a little uneasy, the commander is asking Use your own 4th Cavalry Brigade to sing an empty city plan, "" Run away if you can't win, don't hurt Budyonny, this is not a risk, when the time comes, the cadres and soldiers of the entire cavalry army will have to settle accounts with themselves, I, Romanenko, can never afford this responsibility.

At this time, the four horse-drawn machine guns that were galloping on the two wings of the battalion attacked by the White Guards drove up to the small breakthrough and began to turn around. The roar of the Russian Maxim wheeled heavy machine guns with shields on the carriages sounded , while on Zhukov's side, the 4th Cavalry Battalion, which was lined up, turned its horse's head and withdrew from the first-line position along the grove on the right with the timely sound of the horn.

"Prokofi Logvinovich, order the artillery company to fire and knock out the opponent's heavy machine gun... After the fight, move back..." Army commander Budyonny naturally took over the brigade commander Romanenko's command, "The heavy machine gun company holds its breath and waits for the enemy cavalry to charge up before firing, so that the opponent is not easy to dodge..."

"Zhukov, take the 1st Battalion and 4th Battalion and prepare to attack from the right flank. Once you kill it, don't stop. You have to unscrew the wings of the regiment on the opponent's left flank like cutting butter... Then we will go all the way west . . ” “Penetrate the enemy’s positions in the north, and then go southwest to join Gorodovikov’s 3rd Cavalry Brigade...”

"Romanenko, take the 2nd and 3rd Battalions and follow me, the whole army will follow, Sasha Mishka, fly out the banner of my Semyon Mikhainovich Budyonny, the whole army Prepare for an assault and tell the soldiers that Budyonny led the 1st Cavalry Division to kill the carbine and resolutely wipe out the brigade behind the White Guards chasing son! The artillery company followed us closely! The heavy machine gun company guarded the two wings!"

At this time, the cannons of the artillery company of the Soviet Red Army, which was waiting in full battle at the rear of the position, roared, and three consecutive rounds of rapid attacks blew up the cavalry formation of the attacking White Guards, and the four horse-drawn machine guns were also overturned from the slope. The Cossack White Guards were stunned after being bombarded at the beginning, and then, under the urging of the horn, they waved their sabers and let their horses run. More than 3 Cossack cavalry screamed wildly at the Soviet Red Army. The ground swooped over, and the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened to about 4 meters.

After the artillery company of the Soviet Red Army knocked out the 4 Maxim heavy machine guns in the enemy's attack, they quickly stopped firing and began to shift their positions. At this time, the White Guards The artillery also began to shift their targets and tried to shoot at the positions of the Soviet Red Army artillery company, but the time difference of less than half a minute made the shells fired by the White Guards basically fall into the air.

Immediately after the 8th Zhukov Cavalry Regiment deployed six Maxim heavy machine guns on the two wings of the position, the intensive machine gun fire immediately swept down the cavalry of the White Guards Cavalry Battalion, which had expanded to a width of more than 6 meters. The White Guards' offensive Immediately, he was stunned, and the commander of the White Guards who saw the situation was not good gave an order, and a cavalry battalion rushed forward from the left and right flank positions, trying to rush forward with the attacking battalion in front of him. Go to the positions of the Red Army of the Soviet Union.

Seeing that the artillery positions of the White Guards had suppressed the firing of the Russian Red Army's artillery, they hurriedly began to shift their targets, preparing to follow the same pattern and use artillery fire to overturn the Soviet Russian Red Army's heavy machine gun positions. At the side, Budyonny gave an order, Comrade Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov, the commander of the young 8th Cavalry Regiment, got on his horse, raised the saber in his hand, and rushed towards the 1st Battalion and 4th Cavalry Battalion behind him. More than 1000 Red Army cavalry soldiers shouted "Beiyang 1917",

"Cavalry 1st Battalion, 4th Battalion, glorious Budyonny's cavalry, come with me! Cut the doggy White Guard bastards in half... Budyonny! Budyonny! Forward! Ulla..." Before the words fell, Zhukov took the lead and rushed out with his orderlies, while the 1st Battalion and 4th Battalion of the Cavalry behind them waved sharp sabers in a turbulent crowd, and shouted "Budyonny... Budyonny... Ulla... Ulla... Go... Go..." The slogan rushed out.

"Blow the horn! Blow the charge!" Brigadier Romanov hurriedly shouted at the buglers behind him!

"Dick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick..." The loud charge sounded on the position of the Soviet Russian Red Army, and more than 1000 Soviet Russian Red Army cavalry led by Zhukov waved their bright sabers like an off-string arrow. The enemy's cavalry battalion, which had suffered more than 100 casualties, was in chaos.

At this time, the artillery of the White Guards suppressed the Soviet Red Army's machine gun positions but did not have time to achieve results. After the position was transferred, the artillery company of the Soviet Russian Red Army "" A series of rapid artillery fire directly hit the position of the artillery company of the White Guards. The shrapnel roared, and then a stray bullet detonated the shells piled up on the White Guards artillery position. Suddenly, a series of louder explosions sounded, and the artillery company belonging to the 14th White Guards Cavalry Brigade was wiped out.

The vanguard battalion of the White Guards, which had lost the cover of machine guns and artillery fire successively, had more than half of its casualties. It collapsed under the attack of Zhukov's two cavalry battalions. A gust of wind blew past, and the cavalry battalion on the opponent's left flank who came out for reinforcements was caught off guard and was also thrown into disarray, while the cavalry battalion on the right flank seemed to come around and attack Zhukov's flank.
