    "Charge! Break through the Chinese defense line and cut off their heads with the saber in your hand!" Major General Dimitri, the commander of the Russian 2nd Cossack Corps, and the commander of the 5th Cossack Corps shouted one after another.  One by one, the Cossack cavalry were killed under the fierce bombardment of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps, which made them feel as if their hearts were bleeding.  Every Cossack cavalry is very valuable!

    Soon, the cavalry of the 5th Cossack Regiment, the vanguard, had already rushed to the defense line of the Chinese Army's 3rd Cavalry Corps, which was only one kilometer away.  In two minutes at most, they would be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps.  By then, the Chinese's heavy artillery fire will be ineffective.  Countless Cossack cavalrymen, with red eyes, roared and galloped on their horses.

    "Heavy machine gun! Mortar fire!" Major General Bashar, commander of the Third Cavalry Corps, gave the order to fire.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" A heavy machine gun spurted out red tongues of flame.  A dense barrage of bullets was fired at the Cossack cavalry that was charging at high speed.  Hundreds of heavy machine guns opened fire, and the resulting crossfire formed a metal storm that made it impossible to escape, tearing those brave Cossack cavalry into pieces.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Hundreds of medium and light mortars also opened fire at the fastest speed. Each shell survived, creating gaps in the charging queue of the Cossack cavalry.  Cossack cavalry were constantly being hit and fell off their horses.  The momentum of the 5th Cossack Legion's attack was completely blocked!

    "This! How is this possible? How can the Chinese firepower be so powerful? How can the great and brave Cossack cavalry not be able to charge through?" Major General Dimitri, the commander of the 2nd Cossack Corps, widened his eyes with dismay on his face.  Confidence.  He was now somewhat fortunate that it was the 5th Cossack Legion that charged, not his 2nd Cossack Legion.  Otherwise, the ones being massacred now would be his men.

    "Damn it! Charge! As long as you charge over, you'll be fine! Charge quickly!" The commander of the 5th Cossack Legion had red eyes.  Seeing his Cossack cavalry being killed one by one made him very angry.  This is no longer a battle, but a massacre!  Moreover, he personally sent these Cossack cavalry to be slaughtered.

    "Ula! Ula!" The cavalrymen of the Russian 5th Cossack Regiment who were charging looked at their companions in front of them, being shot and killed one after another and fell to the ground.  The moans of their severely injured and dying companions, and the neighing of the horses before they died, made them feel an uncontrollable fear.

    Many cavalrymen reined in their horses and planned to flee.  However, the cavalry behind them were still charging wildly, which inevitably caused them to collide.  The Cossack cavalry behind wanted to charge, but the ones in front wanted to retreat.  This makes them crowded there and unable to react properly.  And this also gave the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps a good opportunity to kill the enemy.

    "Click, click, click!" Not only the heavy machine guns, but also the light machine guns joined the ranks of harvesting the Russian Cossack cavalry. After the soldiers finished shooting a magazine, they immediately changed the magazine.  Intensive firepower ruthlessly harvested the lives of these Cossack cavalry, leaving them with no way to escape.

    "Damn it! This is a massacre! General Dimitri, I can't watch my people die!" the commander of the 5th Cossack Legion shouted. He wanted to withdraw the troops in front, otherwise  , before long, all his men will be killed.

    "Listen, do you think you can retreat now? Now I know why Anatoly of the 9th Cossack Legion was defeated so miserably! That damn guy, he knew that the Chinese had powerful firepower, but he  Don't remind us! You are damned! After returning to Ulan-Ude, I will report to Grand Duke Nicholas and hang this damn guy!" Major General Dimitri said bitterly.

    "Then what should we do now?" asked the commander of the 5th Cossack Legion.

    "Your people continue to charge, while my people attack from the flanks, trying to defeat the Chinese in one fell swoop. Otherwise, we will definitely lose this battle!" Major General Dimitri said.  Now, he can only place his hope on this, otherwise, he will not be able to express his hope to Nicholas.

    The commander of the 5th Cossack Legion hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.  He also knows that there is no other way. The battle has reached this point, so we can't give up halfway!

    "Warriors of the 2nd Cossack Legion, attack! Let me tear apart the Chinese defense from the flanks and kill them all!" Major General Dimitri ordered.  Although, he himself didn't know whether this method would work.  However, he had no other choice but to hope that God would bless him!

    2nd Cossack Today's 20,000 Cossack cavalry, organized by the officers, immediately launched an attack.  They rounded the front,The left flank of the 3rd Cavalry Corps was detoured.  Although, the tragic experience of the 5th Cossack Legion made them very frightened.  However, they are Cossack cavalry, Cossack cavalry who are not afraid of death.  After the order was given, they immediately galloped on their horses and launched an attack.

    "Hmph! These old fools want to attack in a roundabout way. Do they really think that our defense line is so easy to break through? Let the 12th Brigade deploy a battalion to strengthen the left wing!" Major General Bashar, commander of the Third Cavalry Army, ordered  .  Defending the left wing was the 11th Brigade, whose strength was far inferior to that of the frontal defense line.  However, it is not so easy to break through.

    "Clatter! Boom! Boom! Boom!" What greeted the Russian 2nd Cossack Legion was still dense bullets and artillery shells, and the Cossack cavalry fell to the ground one by one.  No matter how hard they tried, they could not break through the dense fire blockade of the 3rd Cavalry Corps.  The Cossack cavalrymen were like moths flying into the flames, using their rifles to collide with steel bullets and cannonballs.  Although each of them is very strong, it has no effect in front of the cold steel.

    "Ula! Ula!" The brave Cossack cavalry shouted slogans and charged against the hail of bullets. Then they were beaten to the ground. Blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the soil of the grassland red.

    Major General Dimitri, commander of the Russian 2nd Cossack Corps, saw his elite cavalry turned into corpses one by one in front of the intensive firepower of the Chinese Army's 3rd Cavalry Corps.  This made them tremble with anger, and their eyes seemed to be on fire.

    "Is it true that the great and brave Cossack cavalry is not the opponent of the Chinese? Can these shameless Chinese use intensive firepower to massacre the great Cossack cavalry wantonly?" Major General Dimitri thought secretly.  The brave Cossack cavalry made all European countries tremble under their iron hooves.  But now, it has broken its wings in the far east, which makes Major General Dimitri very reluctant to believe it.  However, this is a fact that people have to believe.

    When hot weapons appeared, cold weapons gradually withdrew from the stage.  The status of the cavalry, which was originally invincible during the cold weapons period, also declined sharply.  At the beginning, the rifle was unable to compete with the high-speed cavalry due to its low rate of fire, short range, and insufficient lethality.  However, with the emergence of heavy machine guns and other weapons, the status of cavalry has been seriously threatened.  Moreover, the cavalry will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.  Facing the powerful firepower of the Third Cavalry Corps, the Cossack cavalry seemed so helpless.

    "General Dimitri, the Chinese firepower is too powerful. We simply cannot break through their defenses. If we continue to attack, we will only suffer heavy casualties! Now, more than half of my 5th Army has been lost! If we continue  If the battle continues, I'm afraid they will all be lost here!" The commander of the 5th Cossack Legion said with a gloomy face.  Now, he no longer wants to fight anymore.  He doesn't want all his troops to die here.

    Major General Dimitri nodded. Now it seems that taking the initiative to attack the defense line of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps is a dead end. The only way is to retreat and then look for opportunities!

    Soon, the bugle sounded.  The attacking Cossack cavalry receded like a tide, leaving only corpses on the ground.  After receiving the order to retreat, these Cossack cavalry breathed a sigh of relief.  The intensive firepower of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps made them feel that the road to charge was a dead end.  However, they are so well-trained that even if they know they are facing death, they still have to launch a desperate charge.  Even though these Cossack cavalry are usually a little unruly, when fighting, they regard obeying orders as their bounden duty.

    "Hmph! I want to run, but it's too late! The 9th Cavalry Brigade, 10th Cavalry Brigade, and 11th Cavalry Brigade will pursue immediately, and the 12th Cavalry Brigade will serve as a reserve!" Major General Bashar, commander of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps, issued an order  gave the order to attack.  The Chinese cavalry's tactics are originally to use powerful firepower to kill the enemy's effective forces.  After severely damaging the enemy, then slowly harvest the opponent's life.  The Russian 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion have suffered heavy losses, and their morale has also been greatly affected.  It is no longer so easy to retreat now.

    Three cavalry brigades, with more than 20,000 people, immediately rode forward and pressed against the two Russian Cossack cavalry brigades.  The ones at the front were the machine gunners of each squad.  The weight of the light machine gun is less than ten kilograms. When the war horse is not running fast, it can still be designed, but the accuracy is not so good.  At the same time, the cavalrymen of the Third Cavalry Corps, carrying lances on their backs, also opened fire, harvesting the lives of these Russian Cossack cavalry.  (To be continued.
