    , nbsp; If Petrovich had not asked the Turkin Vanguard Battalion to send a cavalry company to go west along both sides of the road, the four divisions of the Soviet Eastern Front's Southern Cluster ambushing on both sides of the road would not have been so easily discovered.  In other words, the ambush troops in the Southern Cluster will not be exposed so easily! Book*

    The problem was not with this cavalry company, but with the fact that they put on clothes stripped from Red Army prisoners. This gave the ambush infantrymen of the Southern Group the illusion that they were Chapayev's cavalry division chasing stragglers.  When we got into the main force, some people thought it was the Red Army in Chernigovka who sent someone to break out to deliver a message or something.

    Seeing the Red Army cavalry in less than one company marching in three lines, the horse hooves of the two platoons of cavalry on both sides of the road, one south and one north, almost stepped on the heads of the infantrymen lying hidden behind the dry ditch. The Second Army  A company commander couldn't help but jump up from the ground and shouted in a low voice,

    "Go to the main road. The cavalry division is in Milna. Why are you coming to our infantry position?" It doesn't matter if a company commander stands up. A company suddenly stands up around the company commander. Although there is a platoon of Cossacks here,  Wearing the uniform of the Red Army, of course he regarded the Red Army as the enemy in his heart. He remembered that he was a White Guard Cossack. The platoon leader leading the team roared, took out his gun and turned the horse's head. This was enough to blow up the group of more than thirty cavalrymen.  It fell into the ambush position of a battalion.

    As soon as the gunshots were fired, the world was in chaos. The two Cossack cavalry platoons pretending to be the Red Army that were conducting reconnaissance marches on both sides of the road were completely wiped out. Only the platoon led by the company commander on the road was separated by 500 meters.  Guns rang out like exploding beans, and black heads emerged from the horizon. The company commander led the platoon and turned their horses and ran all the way, followed by bullets chasing after them like a torrential rain. When the company commander escaped from the encirclement with injuries, he was surrounded by  There are seven or eight cavalry left and everyone is injured.

    It should be said that Chapayev reacted very quickly. He saw through the telescope that the ambush had been revealed and his reconnaissance company found out what was real. He did not wait for the orders of the cluster and the army group and led all his cavalry divisions to mount their horses and chase after him.  Behind them are four infantry divisions who got up from the ground and ran around.

    Tukhachevsky was so angry at his command position that his mouth was filled with smoke. He kept shouting: "Find that company commander. I will kill him with my own hands. Forty thousand people lay down under the sun for an hour and suffered."  How sinful is it that I was messed up by you, an impatient company-level commander, who was just trying to make a plan?

    Chapayev's cavalry division originally left one regiment for Rzhevsky, but now there are three regiments left. To say that this guy really led 7,500 red Cossack cavalry to fight against 4,500 Peter on the opposite side.  The 7th Cavalry Brigade of Petrovich may not be able to defeat the opponent in one go even if it fights to the death. Although Petrovitch's cavalry are Cossacks, the weapons in their hands are replaced by a batch of specially strengthened weapons from the Allied Forces Command. They are used by the 1917bra class.  Machine guns and 1 Garand semi-automatic rifles are equipped, and there are even many 6081-caliber mortars carried by horses*book*(

    Fortunately, Petrovich's 7th Cavalry Brigade did not stop to confront Chapayev's three cavalry regiments. Instead, the 4,500 cavalry turned their horses and retreated eastward, one escaping and the other pursuing.  They chased for ten miles, and the distance between the two sides was less than 1 kilometer. The men and horses of each other were running out of breath. The horses of the Chapayev Cavalry Division rested for an extra hour.  The horse power recovered better than Petrovich's cavalry brigade, so the distance between the two sides shrank to 800 meters for a while, and then lengthened to 1000 meters for a while.

    Petrovich's brigade could not get rid of Chapayev, who was chasing after him. The cavalry of these two guys had no use at the gate of Ufa. Chapayev was originally the forward unit of the First Army, but ended up charging forward.  Entering between the northwest and southeast defense lines of Ufa, the Chapayev Division lost a cavalry battalion under Maxim's blazing firepower.

    As for Petrovich, the 7th Cavalry Brigade, when he made a tentative attack on the Rzhevsky cluster defense position in Chernigovka this morning, he was blown away by a whirlwind of Maxim machine gun bullets ambushed on the position.  In terms of the strength of the battalion, both sides suffered small losses, and they tried hard to win a happy battle but failed to do so.

    There is a rare opportunity for such a cavalry battle in the afternoon today, so Chapayev ignored his cavalry division and drove all morning, and now he is in hot pursuit. But this guy has 7,500 cavalry, and he is more panic-stricken than the ones in front of him who are fleeing.  There are almost half as many White Guards as there are. If we don't fight the drowned dogs now, when will we fight?

    Seeing that they had chased for another ten miles, Chapayev's cavalry division finally retreated before they could catch up, and it was already dark when they returned. It would be a waste for these horses to run 180 miles in a day. Unexpectedly, Chapayev's cavalry division retreated.  As soon as Yev's pursuers stopped, the Petrovitch cavalry brigade in front also retreated. This man could not run anymore. His cavalry mount had less time to rest than the opponent, and its horsepower was gradually losing strength. It was already suffering.  If the other party doesn't chase him, of course he won't.Got it

    The two sides dismounted and rested 1,000 meters apart. Chapayev was so angry that he rested for ten minutes and ordered to mount the horse and pursue again. Petrovich saw that it was not good and quickly mounted the horse and retreated. At this time, Chapayev was obviously  He had the upper hand. The place where he stopped to rest just now happened to be a small river. The men and horses drank some water and recovered a lot of energy. However, there was not enough water source where Petrovich stopped. The men and horses were extremely thirsty, so he took it with him.  The water bag has been finished long ago

    Moreover, those who flee are often more nervous and frightened than those who pursue them, not to mention that the opponent's strength is almost twice as many as his own. Petrovitch is not stupid enough to use a brigade to confront the opponent's three cavalry regiments head-on, even if it is 1:1.  This battle is not worth fighting even if the battle is damaged, not to mention that our own reinforcements are forty kilometers away, while the other party's reinforcements are only less than ten kilometers away.

    The distance between the two sides gradually shortened from 1000 meters to 900 meters, then to 800 meters, and then to 700 meters. The commander of the 7th Brigade, Xiao Bochika, looked solemn. While riding his horse, he shouted into the ear of his commander.  ,

    "Commander, I will lead the first regiment to stay and break up the rear. You lead the second regiment to retreat first, otherwise we will not be able to outrun the opponent. The Chapayev Cavalry Division is the trump card of the First Army. Their mounts are all top-notch horses.  Our horses are not as good as others¡¯.¡±

    "Nonsense, if you want to stop, just stop the whole brigade and fight with them. Fighting a war can't just rely on strength in numbers. The key is to have the confidence to win. The squad assigned to us by the coalition forces can shoot with a machine gun slung on the body. It is more bulky than  Maxim's is much more convenient," Petrovich shouted at the top of his lungs, the wind whistling in his ears.

    When this guy and Sergey split up the troops, they didn't bring the heavy machine gun battalion. The purpose was to ride lightly into battle. The horse-drawn machine gun would be a hindrance when running and could easily overturn and fall apart, so this guy didn't bring the Maxim machine gun battalion.

    Chapayev, who was pursuing from behind, actually did not bring a heavy machine gun battalion. His heavy machine gun battalion, along with all the heavy machine gun battalions of the First Army, were left to Rzhevsky who was sticking to Chernigovka. So in fact, if  There was a suitable distance, but the machine gun fire and mortar fire of the 7th Brigade of the Second Ural Cavalry Corps, which was escaping in front, were stronger, but the distance was only 6 or 7 hundred meters. At this time, Petrovitch had time to stop and set up positions to block the attack.  Pursuing troops?

    Therefore, as soon as the White Guard cavalry brigade in front stopped, their horses would suffer. If they charged head-on, their horses would not have enough time to get up, and they would definitely suffer in a hand-to-hand encounter with the cavalry wielding sabers and fighting with cold weapons. Therefore, Petrovich bit  Teeth dare not stop

    At this time, the mixed cavalry division of the Chinese participating armies is very different here. The First Armored Division under Wang Geng has a mixed cavalry brigade. In addition to the cavalry rifles of the 1 Garand short barrel model, the cavalry  , both the infantry and cavalry of the participating army are equipped with a self-defense gun. The famous Colt caliber automatic gun is the standard equipment of the Chinese participating army and the most basic configuration of all participating armies.

    From cooks to scouts, from cavalry to fighter pilots, there is a certain gap between the late-stage soldiers of the Chinese participating army and the veterans of Japan's elite divisions compared to individual soldiers, but as long as the Colt 1911 automatically ****  If you have it in hand, then until the seven bullets in the magazine are used up, the opponent will basically not have the opportunity to fight hand-to-hand or bayonet with the Chinese combatants.

    Of course, Petrovitch's Russian cavalry division is not that luxurious. Each cavalryman cannot have a Colt caliber automatic gun. Each squad of his current cavalry has just been equipped with two 1 Garand short guns.  It's just a cavalry rifle. This was an emergency allotment from the coalition headquarters as a gift to congratulate the establishment of the Second Ural Cavalry Corps.

    Just when Petrovich's cavalry was running slower and slower and had to prepare to dismount and face the opponent's pursuers for a decisive battle, the buzzing sound of aircraft engines came from the clouds 3,000 meters above the sky. A Handley Petty 0400  The modified Hawkeye early warning aircraft appeared majestically above the heads of the more than 10,000 cavalrymen on both sides below.

    Immediately afterwards, like magic in the clouds, 16 SE5 fighter jets in four four-plane formations filed down and began to swoop and straf at the 7,500 Soviet cavalry chasing behind them. Not to mention, each SE5 fighter jet was strafing.  At the same time, they also dropped four 25-pound aerial bombs hanging under their wings. The rain of machine gun bullets and bombs falling from the sky turned Chapayev's cavalry regiment forward who was chasing Chapayev at the front and beat them into a mess.  Fu stopped his horse and yelled desperately for the entire army to spread out, spread out, hide, hide.
