Chapter 146 The Doomsday of the Cossack Cavalry
"General, there are several patrols who are vigiling yet. The reconnaissance team has sent people to find them, but I still feel it is necessary to report this information to you."
When the news reached Orlov's ears, more than half an hour had passed since the incident occurred.
Orlov looked at his infantry commander Antonio and asked in a deep voice: "Are there any villages of Oroqen and Hezhe people nearby?"
"General, do you doubt them?"
"Of course, only these Chinese people, who are like rats, ride horses with bows and arrows in their hands, dare not fight head-on with the soldiers of the Empire, and think about sneaking things all day long, can they kill our people quietly."
I am not very worried when I think of the sneak attacks from these small troops along the way since I entered Hulunbuir.
Antonio replied: "Yesterday, the cavalry reconnaissance team did not bring back news that there were Chinese villages nearby."
Orlov slapped the table and said hatefully: "In the future, except for some Chinese people who will be left to serve the Emperor's team, all the others will be killed."
"Yes, general, but general, our army's logistics can no longer keep up."
Orlov smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are not far from the Qing Dynasty's Yake Stone Stand. Today we will capture the position. It is estimated that in three or five days, we will be able to hold the beauty and drink fine wine in Qiqihar."
Antonio praised: "The general conquered countless cities along the way, and completed it, Hulunbuir and Zaromude surrendered to your feet. You have already made the Qing generals frightened and dared not confront each other."
Orlov said proudly: "If the army hadn't been able to keep up, maybe we would have been able to stand in Qiqihar City and watch the sunrise."
Antonio followed Orlov's gaze, half-closed his eyes and looked at the sunrise on the horizon.
The sun is getting bigger and bigger and turning black, so why is it still whistling?
No, it was the shells, and the guards threw the two of them to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there were endless whine in the air, passing by the heads of several people, and then pointing to the Russian artillery position behind them.
Orlov spit out the mud in his mouth, jumped up, shouted and ordered: "Hurry, order the cavalry team to investigate forward, find the enemy artillery position to destroy it, and,"
Before Orlov finished speaking, bursts of explosions came from behind him. Orlov looked back with a telescope and saw thick smoke, soil, and flesh mixed with some.
The Chinese team poured ammunition into the Russian artillery position without any money, and immediately staged a dance of death.
With a loud bang, Orlov felt that the ground under his feet was shaken and trembled three times. It was over, the arsenal of the artillery regiment was hit.
Orlov gritted his teeth and ordered: "The despicable Chinese dared to raid our army. No matter the Chinese army, the Russian warriors will give them an unforgettable morning. Antonio, you lead your infantry regiment immediately behind the cavalry. Remember, don't leave me a living mouth."
"Yes, General!" Antonio licked his lips with his tongue excitedly. He thought that the carnival was about to begin again, just like before.
Li Chun led a battalion of more than a thousand soldiers to ambush on the high ground on both sides of the road. This road leads to the gulf artillery team. With the arrogance of the Russian army, how could he not send people to attack?
The trenches on both sides of the road were covered with weeds, etc. The Chinese soldiers were lying inside, motionless, and various mines were buried by the engineering team on the slope a distance from the trenches to prevent Russia from fighting back quickly.
The sound of horse hooves roared in a low and continuous manner like thunder, which scared the birds and beasts on the roadside in the distance.
Li Chun's face changed slightly, and there were about six or seven hundred enemy cavalry.
"The machine gun team, form cross-fire on both sides. When the *** gang enters the ambush circle, listen to my gunshots and shoot again."
More than a dozen machine guns were facing each direction on the road, and the muffled thunder was getting closer and closer, and gradually on the road, Chinese soldiers saw the winding and twisting dust like dragons!
More than 700 trotting horses stepped out of the earth, with a shocking sound, and even the ground seemed to be shaken. Russian cavalry lined up in three rows rolled forward with a loud noise.
Maybe it was because the Cossack cavalry had lived a very comfortable life in the past ten days, or maybe it was because they didn't take the Zhongzhang team seriously. More than 700 cavalrymen were not hesitant and confused about the road with some inclined slopes on both sides. They ran wildly on the road, and the horse's hooves stepped on the dust that covered the sky and spread out into the surroundings.
The soldiers lurking on both sides opened their eyes wide and watched as the *** stepped into the ambush circle. Li Chun aimed at a cavalry in front of him, and a gunshot shot hit the cavalry.
Suddenly, the rifles and machine guns in the trenches fired together, and the gunshots of "thunderbolt..." sounded in a ball.
The Cossack cavalry was quickly knocked down by bullets flying like raindrops! The front hooves of the war horse hit by the bullets were raised and screamed violently, and then they fell to the ground with a bang. The Russian soldiers riding on the horse were thrown off their horses, falling to dust, and in a flash, they were hit by the rainy bullets all over their bodies! The frightened war horses neighed in a circle, and their shrill screams were even more harsh.
The cavalry captain behind saw that his army was ambushed, quickly tied the reins and carefully checked the terrain. There were relatively gentle slopes on both sides of the road, and the trenches on both sides were only one or two hundred meters away from the road. He calculated it slightly in his mind. If he charges with all his might, according to past experience, the enemy's firepower can only eliminate a small number of cavalry.
With a finger, a cavalry company commander hurriedly took the order to ask his team to take a few steps back, and then the company lined up in a storm-shaped formation, and the uneasy horses sniffed and shoveled their horses.
After waiting for a while, the company that was charging in the vanguard kept kicking the horse's abdomen with the spurs on its shoes. The horse, which was so painful, quickly accelerated and made a deafening loud noise, rushing towards the trench road.
Ula, Ula, the cavalry shouted the slogan of charge and rushed towards the shelter of the Central Team.
As you get closer, you are about to reach the distance you can ride a gun. Chinese people, wait and taste the sound of horse hooves stepping on your body. That is the time for your retreat.
A bang!
The horses who rushed to the front first stepped on the mines. In an instant, the internal organs and blood clots of horses torn apart by powerful explosions scattered around the road. The horses following behind were unable to stop because of the charge inertia, so they had to cross the dead cavalry, detonate the mines in front, and repeat the cavalry's journey of death.
With a click, a scorched horse's thigh fell in front of Li Chun. Li Chun carefully removed the soil on it with his hands, and then stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, eating with relish.
The first round of raids and mine offensives alone caused heavy losses to the Cossack cavalry, with three or four hundred casualties. Seeing that the situation was not good, the cavalry captain immediately summoned the team to retreat, trying to escape from the encirclement of the Zhongzhang team.
Crack, creak. Crack, a pile of huge rocks and broken wood rolled down from both sides, blocking the Russian army's retreat. The old method is also very effective.
The Cossack cavalry had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground! The tall and large cavalry had become the living targets for soldiers. When the machine guns swept over, they were covered with blood. When the grenades were blown by, they were flying flesh and blood.
The road to impact is full of incomplete war horses and soldiers.
The cavalry captain panicked and jumped off the horse. After a while of command, the entire team of cavalry jumped off the horse and burried behind the dead horse and corpses.
Li Chun couldn't understand Russian and asked the translator next to him, "What are the commander *** shouting?"
"He said he would give up the horses and break out if he had the chance! If he didn't have the chance, he would wait for the infantry behind to rescue him."
Damn, I shrank my head and thought I had become a green-haired turtle and could not beat you.
While asking someone to contact the artillery team behind him, Li Chun asked the translator: "What do you say in Russian '***'?"
Three diagonal lines appear on the translator’s forehead!
Soon, the Russian version of the *** uncle was shouted one after another by the stranger.
Many seriously injured Cossack cavalrymen died by screaming and vomiting blood.
Of course, the sound of artillery shells accompanied by the whistle and the violent explosion threw the Russian army and exploded, as if it was blowing up popcorn.
After four or five rounds of gunfire, it gradually became sparse. The middle trenchers on both sides shook their heads buried in their arms and looked up at the road. The originally flat land has now become the surface of the moon, with pits and bumps everywhere, and the road is silent. Only one or two slight ***s can be heard occasionally. The Russians who were still whining and scolding just now finally stopped moving.
Seeing this, Li Chun stopped hesitating. With a command, the Chinese soldiers rushed towards the Russian army, just cleaning the battlefield, and those who were not dead were replenished.
Looking at the Russian soldiers with strange appearances, Li Chun couldn't help but sigh and said, "After the cannon fire, there are tens of thousands of taels of gold. Oh, I don't know how much money I was wasted."
Li Chun had no time to continue sighing, and his soldiers came to repay him.
"Li Camp, the battlefield has been cleaned up, Russian infantry is coming soon, will we retreat?"
Li Chun shook his head and said, "There is still some time left. Wouldn't it be a waste to just leave like this? I will pass on my orders to cut off the Russian army's heads, pile them on the roadside, and build a 'Beijing Temple'."
The sergeant turned around and immediately passed the order. Soon, more than 700 cavalrymen were all cut off their heads and piled them on both sides of the road, slightly covered with soil to fix them. The same was true for the headless corpses. They were piled on the other side and were all built into the "Beijingguan".
After completing these, Li Chun whistled and slowly retreated backwards.
A moment later, Antonio led a soldier from an infantry regiment to follow slowly and soon appeared not far from the ambush section just now.
The staff officer beside him said in a complaining tone: "The gunshots in front have disappeared. It seems that the savage Cossacks have resolved the battle, and they will definitely leave a piece of corpse for us to clean up."
Antonio frowned slightly. He had just heard the sound of cannons. It should be that the Chinese were prepared for it. Since this is the case, the battle should not be resolved so easily. Are the Chinese becoming less and less frustrated?
A scout ran to Antonio in panic, pale and fearful, "Captain Antonio, front, front, front,"
Wow, the scouts were heartbroken and vomited all over the floor.
"What's wrong with the front?"
"There are the bodies of our cavalry in front of us!"
"What!" Antonio was shocked and hurried forward to check.
I saw that on the platforms like pyramids, the heads of Cossack cavalry were stacked, bloody and inspiring. When I saw it, I could imagine the shock and fear.
Many Russian soldiers held the trees in their hands and vomited wildly on the side, while more people were scared to their faces, trembling and dared not speak.
Chapter completed!
