Chapter 328 Roaring Metal Storm
mg34 machine guns roared, and under the shooting of the machine gun, the Poles' cavalry fell in pieces.
This is simply a unilateral massacre!
When charging, you must use firepower to suppress your opponent. This is common sense. Now, the leader of the 21st Cavalry Regiment has made a mistake!
There were not many machine guns to which the cavalry belonged, and the cavalry mainly attacked. However, after the infantry reconnaissance vehicles here used 37mm cannons to bombard several machine gun positions, the machine guns of the cavalry opposite became mute. They originally thought that the Germans were going to escape, but in the end, they stood firm!
In this way, the cavalry charge ushered in a terrible rain of bullets.
Some horses were shot, bent their front legs and dropped the cavalry off the horse's back. The cavalry behind could not control the speed of advance. Although he pulled the horse hard, the horse still trampled over the body of the cavalry in front, and a terrifying roar came from below.
Being trampled by horses is the most terrible thing for cavalry, and now, I don’t know how many cavalrymen are experiencing all this!
Some cavalrymen were shot themselves and fell from the horse's back without saying a word. The ownerless war horse ran away like a joyful look.
The situation was absolutely unfavorable to the Polish cavalry, but Alex did not think of retreating.
Cavalry fights by charging. There is no word for retreat in the cavalry dictionary. Even if they are all charged, they still have to charge!
Alex's persistence makes sense.
Gritt's machine gun stopped firing.
When Grit replaced the third link, he had unconsciously exhausted 150 rounds of bullets. The air-cooled barrel was already red at this time, and the outside heat dissipation sleeve became hot.
Can't shoot anymore!
For this machine gun, after firing 150 rounds in a row, the barrel must be changed, otherwise the bullet will directly enter the hot gun chamber, and the fool will know what the result will be!
But now, Grit does not have a spare barrel at all. As a reconnaissance team, they cannot continue to fight. They are the type of people who run away after a meeting. One barrel is enough!
The machine guns here stopped firing one after another.
"Run, keep rushing!" Alex rode his horse and slumped his body tightly on the horse's back. Just now, with this action, he avoided a lot of bullets. Now, he was happy to see the other party's machine gun mute, and he knew what was going on. Taking this opportunity, they could rush over!
Throw the moor bottle onto the opponent's armored vehicle! Use his saber to kill all the German scouts who were left alone! Waving his shiny saber, Alex was very excited at this moment.
He remembered that a few years ago, he waved his saber and chopped off the Soviet cavalry on the opposite side one by one. The scene of blood gushing at that time made him feel endlessly about it. That was the battle that the cavalry should have!
But, he was disappointed!
Just after the machine gun was mute for a few seconds, a soldier was seen rushing out of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. They were lined up in scattered lines, kneeling, and holding strange rifles in their hands.
Those infantry fighting vehicles have large enough space, and there is no problem with one tank to accommodate an infantry squad. After being improved into a reconnaissance vehicle, it still has such capacity.
When Alex saw those soldiers lined up, he was not afraid too much. As long as it was not a machine gun, what was scary?
The cavalry's impact, the Mauser 98k on the opposite side could not be fired a few times, and the firepower density was too low. For the cavalry, they rushed over in one breath!
Moreover, they lined up like this, just giving their own chance! He was already fantasizing that he could bend down and use the speed of the horse's sprinting to cut off the other party's head with one knife!
Thinking of this, he licked his dry lips with his tongue, and he didn't know yet that his life was over.
A 7.92mm light machine gun can take care of targets within 1,000 meters, while a 6.8mm "submachine gun" can calmly deal with targets within 500 meters!
Now, more than 20 soldiers lined up in a row, each holding a 6.8mm "submachine gun"! They quickly adjusted the fast and slow machine to the continuous shooting mode, and then looked at the gap in the sight, waiting for the order.
Those cavalry are getting closer and closer!
"Let's fire!" The platoon leader shouted loudly at a distance of 500 meters.
Open fire! Everyone pulled the trigger and bullets at this moment, covering each other like heavy rain!
If they still use a submachine gun with 9mm pistol bullets, their effective range is less than 200 meters. For the cavalry, 200 meters will also rush over in one breath when the bomb rains!
However, 500 meters is different. This distance is the distance between life and death! When the metal storm here roared over, the cavalry over there fell from the horse's back!
What does it mean to fire more than 20 machine guns together? Now, the front end of the cavalry charge is equivalent to more than 20 machine guns!
There were the sound of "submachine guns" shooting everywhere, bullets flew everywhere, and the cavalry fell down from the horse's back one by one.
The Poles were stunned.
The commander of the 21st Cavalry Regiment was stunned. He looked at his cavalry and rushed out of the woods, and then all fell down. Even if the last man fell off his horse, he did not retreat.
The Polish cavalry is good! Even the German soldiers on the opposite side admire their courage. Unfortunately, this era no longer belongs to the cavalry!
Under the gaze of the Poles in the woods, the German scouts here killed all the Polish cavalry that charged, and then, they quickly returned to their infantry fighting vehicles, and amid the roar, they began to retreat!
Grit jumped into the back seat of another motorcycle and retreated together, leaving behind the bodies of a company of Polish cavalry, as well as the confused and hidden Polish cavalry behind them.
The leader of the cavalry gang gritted his teeth, and the veins on his arm burst out. He could not control his anger, but he rationally did not order the cavalry to continue rushing out of the woods.
"The regiment commander, the 2nd Artillery Battalion, sent an artillery company to support us. There are 12 37mm cannons and 6 75mm mountain cannons, and armored trains, and they will arrive in a while."
Just then, a communications soldier said to the regiment commander.
This was in contact with the German scouts. It was conceivable that the war would break out soon, so the brigade commander urgently mobilized reinforcements here.
Chapter completed!
