Age of Rebirth

After clearing out the Soviet sentries on the periphery, Tong Batu commanded four cavalry companies, and quickly approached the Soviet army like a hurricane rolled up on the flat ground in a dark night.

There was no special loud noise, but they felt the ground trembling. The sleeping Soviet soldiers finally felt yyng, opened their sleepy eyes, and looked over in a daze. What caught their eyes was rapidly approaching The black shadows that expanded were a series of flames flying, and only then did they hear the deafening and dense gunshots, and then felt the approaching rain.

When Tong Batu's troops approached the Soviet camp, the four companies divided into four arrows and shot into the Soviet soldiers together. Although the brigade commander ordered them not to use sabers, they were used to stabbing immediately. The cavalry, while carrying out the orders of the brigade commander, could not give up their inherent habits, and creatively used left swords and right guns, or grenades, and rushed into the crowd of Soviet troops.

The attack came so suddenly and swiftly that the Soviet soldiers, whose brains were still in a state of confusion, did not understand what had happened at all. , Another icy blade, the sound of piercing the sky, descended on the still living people.

The prairie in the dark night is not quiet anymore, as if one is awakened instantly after entering the body, the howling sound of submachine guns and light machine guns, the "rumbling" explosion of grenades, the echo of horseshoes breaking through the night, and the "chucking" sound of blades entering the body. The screams of the dead, the panicked shouts of the Soviet soldiers, and the roars of the soldiers of the Second Cavalry Brigade were intertwined to form a vivid and bloody picture of the grassland night battle. [

The raid was direct and effective. The four cavalry companies of the Tongbatu Brigade completely disrupted the position of the Armored Brigade Headquarters of the Third Army of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union and the troops directly under it in one assault.In the vast night, the Chinese cavalry who suddenly appeared like ghosts made the Soviet soldiers wonder how many enemies had come. They only knew that the dense rain hit their companions around them, and blood splattered all over their heads and faces. .

The sound of the saber piercing the air kept ringing, and the Soviet soldiers were running aimlessly.The next moment, I found that my head had fallen behind my body, and grenades were constantly being thrown on armored vehicles and trucks, and there were several loud bangs.Groups of fireballs exploded, and the flames flickered.There are Chinese cavalry figures everywhere like gods of death.A saber gleaming coldly, a gun spewing flames.

Tong Batu pulled the trigger, and the submachine gun sprayed out a flame. In front, several Soviet soldiers fell to the ground while spinning.Then, the horse's belly was suddenly clamped, and the war horse, who was connected with each other, rose into the air.The saber in his left hand slashed down suddenly, and half of the head of a Soviet soldier who was about to raise his gun to shoot was cut off, and the blood splattered up, and Tong Batu and the soldiers yyng, instinctively chose the left sword and the right sword Only in this way can we express the arrogance of the Chinese cavalry in our hearts.

Tong Batu circled back to the horse's head, followed by armored vehicles and trucks. With the burning flames, he could see at a glance that a Soviet officer, under the protection of several guards, was hiding next to an armored vehicle that had not been blown up, constantly Shooting, several soldiers of his own unit were shot down under the horse, Tong Batu was furious, took the reins, the horse accelerated, and rushed towards the Soviet officer. When the guards around him saw it, Immediately abandon the enemy at hand and chase after him.

The horse was still galloping, "Da da da!" The submachine gun in Tong Batu's hand shot a shuttle. Before several Soviet soldiers fell down, Tong Batu's horse had already passed by the corpse. His target was the Soviet officer who shot several of his soldiers.

This is a typical chaotic battle. The cavalry of the second brigade and the Soviet soldiers were mixed together. In the dark night, the Soviet soldiers who were suddenly hit could not judge the enemy's situation accurately and clearly. Even if they climbed into the armored vehicle, Even with the machine gun in the car, there is no way to find the target. There are messy, swaying and running figures everywhere. A heavy machine gun goes down. There must be Chinese cavalrymen who shoot and kill, but most of them are still their own. companion.

While the Soviet machine gunner was hesitating, a grenade emitting white smoke flew into the cabin of the armored vehicle. Under his fearful gaze, the grenade suddenly exploded into a ball of blazing white light.

There was a loud bang, and the armored vehicle suddenly became a burning fireball.

Tong Batu's war horse was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Soviet officer. Several of his guards had already died under the rain, and then the flashing fire, Tong Batu saw the Soviet officer's epaulettes On it, hung three silver stars, arranged in a triangle, "It's a big fish, at least it's a leader!" Tong Batu thought to himself.

At this time, the Soviet officer raised his pistol and aimed at himself, with a desperate and fierce light flashing in his eyes. Tong Batu smiled ferociously, and pulled the rein suddenly, and the horse suddenly stood up, holding the gun in his hand. The saber fell like lightning, first cut off the Soviet officer's arm holding the pistol, and then briskly across his neck, a bloody arrow spurted out, the light of life in the Soviet officer's eyes instantly Dim down.

Then, with his face facing the ground, he fell down on the grass like a piece of wood. Tongbatu flew past without even looking back. He was extremely confident in his saber skills and could clearly feel Well, the blade had cut through the Soviet officer's artery and throat, and almost cut off the old hairy officer's head.

Turning the horse's head, he glanced at the chaotic battlefield. Soldiers galloped over constantly, resisting the desire to enter the battle group again, urged the horse, quickly left the battlefield, and hid in the darkness.

After riding the horse for more than ten minutes, Tongbatu reined in the horse, looked at the luminous watch, and mny smiled. The entire raid operation was strictly in accordance with the pre-established combat plan, from the beginning to the end of the battle, to leaving the battlefield. It took 35 minutes, including 15 minutes of leaving the battlefield. This distance is already a safe distance beyond the firing of Soviet light and heavy machine guns.

The battlefield was still burning, and under the light of the fire, the figures of Soviet soldiers were still running in panic. The four company commanders gathered around Tong Batu with murderous and bloody aura all over their bodies. The reconnaissance company commander Bai Yinbaoli Captain Gao licked his lips, and suggested: "Brigade Commander, the Soviet army is still in chaos. I guess, by this time, they still don't know who gave it. It's better for us to kill such a brutal blow." It’s a pity to return the carbine and expand the results of the battle, and not to take advantage of it!”

Tong Batu glared at him, and said: "You don't need to use your brain, you know how to fight and kill. The reason why we took advantage is the effect of the surprise attack. We got mixed up with the Soviet soldiers. Now, if we kill again, As long as the Soviet soldiers have a few light and heavy machine guns and react, we will become living targets, the gains outweigh the losses, and we will accept it when we see it. Such a disadvantageous battle cannot be fought! The order is issued, and the troops will immediately leave the battlefield and chase after the brigade’s main force.”

Coming and going like the wind, moreover, it was a whirlwind of wounding and death. The second brigade's raid started and ended quickly, leaving behind burning Soviet armored vehicles and trucks everywhere, corpses in disorder, and wounded soldiers howling constantly, and left behind This chaos of fear lasted until the sky brightened.

The third army of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Union belongs to the armored brigade. The remaining officers looked at the messy battlefield and the troops with heavy casualties. So far, they can't believe that the Chinese cavalry unit that was almost surrounded in Irkutsk will come to attack this hand suddenly. If it weren't for the corpses of a dozen Chinese cavalry left on the battlefield, they would never believe it ,This is real.

The number of casualties and losses was quickly counted. The six camps of the whole brigade were all attacked by Chinese cavalry at the same time. More than 800 soldiers were killed and wounded. More than [-] armored vehicles and trucks were blown up. , although the armored brigade did not lose its combat effectiveness, it was also seriously injured. About one-third of its soldiers and equipment were lost.

The casualties of the Chinese cavalry in the sneak attack made these and the Soviet officers feel palpitations. Only the corpses of the Chinese cavalry were found in six camps, less than 40, and more than 20 dead horses, that is to say, In the raid of more than 800 minutes, the Chinese cavalry killed more than 100 soldiers and more than [-] armored vehicles and trucks of the Soviet Red Army with a casualty ratio of [-]:[-]. [

When the Soviet officers were still wondering how to report the losses to the commander, Major General Sergeyev, a more shocking news came. The brigade commander and brigade political commissar, Colonel Nikolagsky, was killed Yes, it was hacked to death by a Chinese cavalry saber. Only half of the head was attached to the neck. The death was extremely miserable and indecent. When the soldiers found out, Comrade Brigadier gnawed mud Posture, the body is already stiff.

The soldiers responsible for burying the corpse recognized Comrade Brigadier Commander's identity from his epaulets, and did not dare to act rashly. He maintained the posture of Comrade Brigadier Commander before his heroic sacrifice, and ran over to report this. For these officers, it was no less than news of a bolt from the blue.

Anyone in the armored brigade is dead, even if it is half of the family property, it will not be a big problem after all the troubles are exhausted. , that is a catastrophe, maybe everyone will be buried together.

In the Armored Brigade, Comrade Nikolaigsky's special status is not a secret. He is just one of the important members of the Military Region's Anti-Correction Committee. With this identity, he can walk sideways in the Transcaucasus Military Region. Approved to serve as the military and political chief officer of the armored brigade, the combination of dual identities is enough to make the surviving officers headed by the brigade chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, keep silent and feel a cold wind in the back of their heads.
