Chapter 16 The Road to Advancement of the Bandit (3)

The panicked Polish cavalry didn't know that his most respected brigade commander had died under his horse's hooves, and he just wanted to escape from the fire net set by the Germans as soon as possible.

He kept turning his horse's head and trying to escape, but he ran into a wall everywhere, with his comrades on all sides, and they blocked their way.

He made up his mind to turn his horse's head and decide to escape north. In that direction, his comrades who were panicked had already stepped out a flesh-and-blooded road in the minefield with the war horse under his crotch.

They ran all the way, and the mines under their feet exploded. Every explosion would cause bloody rain in the escape team.

The broken-legged war horse was lying on the road by the cavalry thrown off the war horse, and then trampled mercilessly by the war horses swarming behind.

The Polish cavalry rode his horse on the escape road paved with flesh and blood from his comrades. He didn't know what the soft things he stepped on under his horse's feet, nor did he know whether he had rushed out of the minefield. He only knew to use a horse whip to beat the horses desperately to make the horses under his crotch run faster.

A string of bullets flew over his back and flew out of his chest. The cavalry kept holding the whip high and shook a few times. His body became soft and he fell under the horse. Then he was trampled by countless horse hooves and turned into a pool of meat paste.

"Continue to open the fire, don't let them run away like this." Chen Dao shouted at the cavalry who were running for life while stepping on the bodies of comrades.

"I'm changing the magazine. This damn broken machine gun. One magazine actually has only 20 bullets." Corporal Steiner took a magazine handed over by Mayer and inserted it cleanly into the machine gun.

After annihilated the 40th Infantry Regiment of Poland, the paratroopers seized 118 intact light and heavy machine guns. In order to deal with the possible raids from the Polish cavalry, Major Schubert unceremoniously used these machine guns to arm his subordinates.

With the strengthening of these machine guns and the original machine guns, the number of machine guns in the ranks of only four infantry platoons led by Chen Dao and Chopin was as high as 45.

Corporal Steiner used a Polish WZ1928 light machine gun, which was a Polish imitation Browning 1918 light machine gun, with 20 rounds of one magazine, and used the same 7.92mm ammunition as the Mauser 98K.

Chen Dao and the other two were crowded in a fox pit. Corporal Steiner served as the shooter, Meyer acted as the deputy shooter, and Chen Dao became an observer. The three of them tacitly harvested the lives of the Polish cavalry on the road.

After replacing the new magazine, Corporal Steiner began a new round of harvesting.

Chen Dao stood on the left side of Corporal Steiner and kept indicating valuable targets to Steiner. With a "boom", the ground in front of Steiner's right suddenly burst open, and the splashing soil slapped the three of them in the face.

Chen Dao wiped his face and looked at the road ahead of the right. He found a strange-shaped car coming out of the fire on the road.

There is a small turret above the cockpit of the car, which keeps turning and firing at the paratrooper positions on both sides of the road.

On both sides and behind the car, some Polish cavalry who had lost their war horses held guns and bent over to use the car as cover to shoot at the paratroopers on both sides.

"Over there, the Polish car." Chen Dao shouted at the car.

Corporal Steiner shook his head, shook the dirt on his head and face, and turned his gun to sweep towards the car.

"Dangdang·····" The bullets hit the car and splashed countless dazzling flames. Corporal Steiner saw that it was an armored vehicle, and hesitated for a moment. The muzzle turned and pointed at the tires of the armored vehicle. After a few shots, the armored vehicle stopped, and only the turret was still rotating and firing.

The tenacious style of the armored vehicle successfully attracted the attention of the paratrooper anti-tank team. At least three PZB38 anti-tank guns pointed at it at the same time. After a few seconds, three hard tungsten core bullets penetrated the poor armor of the armored vehicle.

Soon, dazzling flames ejected from all the gaps on the armored vehicle. With a loud bang, the turret of the armored vehicle flew into the air, the body of the vehicle was split into pieces, and countless broken iron filings flew out, piercing into the bodies of the Bo soldiers around the armored vehicle.

At least 10 Polish soldiers fell under the power of the armored vehicles' ammunition explosion, and Chen Dao was stunned.

The appearance of the second armored vehicle made Chen Dao wake up. Before Chen Dao could react, the armored vehicle followed his comrades' footsteps and was blown up by the paratrooper's anti-tank team.

Two side-by-side armored vehicles blocked the road and blocked the escape route of the cavalry behind. The cavalry could only ride their horses off the road and bypass the two armored vehicles to escape.

Chen Dao stared at the two burning armored vehicles and instantly summarized two battlefield experiences in his mind. Don’t be too close to the destroyed armored vehicles, and they may die; the destroyed armored vehicles can be used to block the road...

What was that? Chen Dao turned his eyes in surprise to the east side of the highway, and there was also a platoon of German troops on the east side of the highway. Their mission was to form a cross-fire with the German troops on the west side of the highway to kill the Po army. At this time, they were in another hard battle.

The Polish army had a long marching force and limited number of paratroopers. Their firepower could not cover all the Polish cavalry.

After the ambush began, the cavalry ranks in the back of the Polish cavalry were not attacked. They surrounded the high ground on both sides under the leadership of the officers and launched a counterattack on the ambush paratroopers.

"Quick, support the other side." Chen Dao slapped Corporal Steiner on the shoulder and pointed to the opposite side of the road.

Steiner then pointed the gun at the opposite side of the highway to support the battle of the paratroopers on the east side of the highway.

After Chen Dao instructed Corporal Steiner, he picked up his submachine gun and turned his head to the south.

Since the Polish cavalry can rush to the high ground on the east side of the east road, they can rush to their own side.

Chen Dao looked south in the fox pit for a while, and indeed saw a group of cavalry charging from the south.

"Meyer, be careful behind." Chen Dao shouted.

Meyer turned his head to find the cavalrymen, picked up the rifle placed on the ground and fired it, then threw it on the ground, and took out the pistol from his waist to shoot at the charge of the cavalrymen.

Chen Daoyi pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, raised his hand to knock down several cavalrymen who rushed to the front.

Seeing another cavalry rushing towards him, Chen Dao turned his gun and pointed it at the cavalry and pulled the trigger. A click came from the chamber.

There was no bullets. Chen Dao looked at the cavalry that was charging forward, and beans of sweat flowed along the upper edge of the steel helmet to his right eye. Under the stimulation of sweat, Chen Dao's vision became blurred.

In the hazy state, Chen Dao saw the cavalry holding the spear in the back hand rushing towards him like a wind, shaking his hand and throwing the spear out. The spear came straight to his chest with a terrible wind...

Meyer raised his hand and shot the cavalry to death with two shots, but he could not stop the cavalry from throwing a spear before he died. He glanced at Chen Dao anxiously, and Meyer's gaze instantly frozen.

"Major!" A shrill scream sounded, and the loudness overshadowed the sound of Steiner's shooting.

Corporal Steiner turned his head and looked at Chen Dao, then suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the muscles on his face were twisted and deformed.
