Chapter 160: Gamble on the guts
The lucky Russians died in the end.
However, the saber in the cavalry's hands only left a deep mark on them.
After all, there are too few Russians. For a cavalry battalion with more than 200 people, in less than half a minute, dozens of Russians who fled in a panic were submerged among the dense cavalry.
After eliminating this Russian, the back of the regiment commander and the entire command center were completely exposed to the front of the cavalry battalion.
Smelling the strong smell of blood that quickly spread in the air, the battalion commander Wu Xin raised his saber again.
Looking at the enemy's blood still flowing on the sabre, the whole person became frenzy instantly and shouted loudly
"Caval battalion... continue to rush with me and kill all the Russians..."
The order was issued, and the battalion commander Wu Xin was the first to rush to the battlefield.
Dozens of veterans saw that the battalion commander rushed out, even if they were worried about the subsequent attack, they could only follow them.
As for more than 70% of the new recruits in the cavalry battalion, they involuntarily joined the attacking ranks under their crotch.
"Captain...Cabiners, Liaodong Army cavalry have rushed over the defenders to intercept us..." When facing the Liaodong Army cavalry, the deputy regiment commander on the side, no matter how long he has been through the battlefield, was still frightened by the powerful formation of the cavalry battalion. He said in panic and worriedly to the regiment commander.
The team leader's face was also very embarrassing.
If you observe carefully, you can even see that the regiment commander's legs began to tremble slightly with the appearance of the cavalry battalion.
As a veteran on the battlefield and has seen the combat effectiveness of imperial cavalry.
He knew very well that the tragic ending these people around him might face after they collided with the cavalry.
However, what he did not expect was that the formation shown by the cavalry battalion was very powerful on the surface.
But in fact, it is strong outside and hard at the same time.
More than 200 cavalrymen faced the bloody and tragic battlefield. Except for the dozens of veterans who were leading the way, they could cook without changing their faces. The remaining new recruits all had pale faces.
On the back of the galloping war horses, more than 70% of the new recruits felt shaking and wanting to be guilty.
At this time, it is a big question whether they can ride on horseback and rush to the Russian leader.
Since his troops have become so unbearable, as the battalion commander, Wu Xin dares to attack the Russian command center with the cavalry battalion. Isn’t that crazy?
Although the Russian command center did not have much troops left, there were still hundreds of people who had all the guards and officers.
More importantly, the Russians also arranged a heavy machine gun platoon around the command center.
In addition to the front three directions, there is a heavy machine gun in each direction.
The direction of the impact of the cavalry battalion was just in a thrust.
It is certain that as soon as this heavy machine gun is fired, the huge offensive formation of the cavalry battalion will be torn apart.
Wu Xin not only knows these threats and hidden dangers, but also knows them very well.
In this way, Wu Xin also led the team to attack the Russian command center. It was not Wu Xin who was crazy, but Wu Xin was betting that the Russian commander did not have the courage to continue to stick to the command center.
In front of the Liaodong Army infantry launched a counterattack, behind the Liaodong Army cavalry battalion launched an attack, and there were artillery shells on their heads constantly bombarding themselves.
In addition, the Russians' troops were almost exhausted, and they were completely defeated by the Liaodong Army.
At this time, as long as the old Russian commander had a little impulse, he would choose to retreat without hesitation, withdraw from the battlefield, and get rid of the fate of being completely wiped out by the Liaodong Army here.
Just when the Russian leader looked panicked and began to make difficult choices for his destiny.
At the Liaodong Army Command, Commander Yang Xingguo also saw the cavalry battalion rushing towards the Russian Command.
Of course, the three heavy machine guns arranged by the Russians around the command center were clearly seen by Yang Xingguo.
"Is Wu Xin crazy? He actually attacked the Russian command center..." Yang Xingguo, who was opening his mouth because of shock, exclaimed loudly.
"The task I gave him was to harass the old Russians, so that the old Russians dared not increase troops to the battlefield. After the headquarters defenders eliminated the old Russian attacking troops with the help of artillery, they would attack the old Russian command center... Didn't he, Wu Xin, see the heavy machine guns that the old Russian was erected around the command center?"
As soon as Yang Xingguo finished speaking, Zhou Qiangsheng on the side said: "Commander, you must help a group of cavalry battalions..."
"The Russians have heavy machine guns. As long as the heavy machine gun is fired, the cavalry battalion will suffer heavy losses and even collapse directly on the battlefield..."
Although Yang Xingguo was not sure what Wu Xin’s purpose was doing this?
However, since Wu Xin has done it, as the commander of the Liaodong Army, he must ensure that the losses of the cavalry battalion will be minimized.
Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo decisively ordered: "Tell the artillery, immediately draw four mountain cannons to attack the Liaodong Army Command, and cover the cavalry battalion to attack the Russian command..."
The Russian still had hesitation on his face and didn't know how to make a decision.
Four violent explosions suddenly rang around the commander.
Before the commander could react from hesitation and shock, the deputy commander shouted with a look of horror.
"Captain, the Liaodong Army has begun to attack us with artillery. Should we withdraw or attack? Please make a decision immediately..."
Under the gaze of the regiment commander, two of the four shells were accidentally hitting the middle of the guards around the command center.
The shell exploded, and seven or eight guards were either blown to the ground, thrown high into the sky, or were directly blown into pieces by the shell, and even a complete body could not be left behind.
At this time, several other subordinates, at the gesture of the deputy commander, said: "Please make a decision early..."
"Retreat..." The leader, who looked at everyone with a hesitant look, finally made a decision.
"Order the troops to retreat immediately. The reinforcements of the Liaodong Army must have been back. Even if we repel the attack of the Liaodong cavalry, we cannot stop the attack of the Liaodong Army reinforcements."
The regiment commander's retreat order is good news for many of the remaining Russians.
Therefore, as soon as the regiment commander's retreat was issued, many old Russian officers showed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.
In the eyes of these Russians, when the Liaodong Army is attacking, they can only survive while escaping now.
However, after escaping, they had lost their minds, and seemed to have forgotten that their speed of escaping was no longer as fast as the cavalry's pursuit.
