    Andre nodded when he heard this. He had inexplicably abandoned a battalion of troops during the encounter. At this time, Andre felt that he had to get it back. If he was replaced with the second regiment, he still wouldn't agree. He had been cowardly for more than ten days. It was rare.  Today we have an advantage in terms of military strength and firepower. Although we suffer some disadvantages due to the terrain, it is only a few hundred meters away.

    Seeing that the troops of the Second Regiment behind him had entered the position, and the machine gun firepower of the coalition forces on the opposite side seemed a bit weak and unsustainable, Andre became more confident. He nodded to his division commander, stood up and waved  The **** shouted, "All the soldiers in the regiment, charge with me! Destroy the scum and enemies of Russia and send them back to their hometown! Ula"

    As he spoke, Andre led his guard platoon and jumped up the hillside, taking the lead in rushing towards the coalition position 400 meters away. At the same time, the Soviet Red Army's Charge also sounded ticking, Andre  The soldiers of the remaining three battalions of Lie's regiment got up from the ground and shouted fanatically: "Ula!"

    More than 1,500 Soviet Red Army soldiers lined the one-kilometer front line and rushed across the mountains and plains, thinking of the coalition positions on the opposite side. Behind them, Berklov commanded the second regiment to start firing volleys to provide fire cover. Of course, because the front was  Because my own team was charging, I had to raise the muzzle a little higher to avoid accidental damage. Fortunately, the coalition's position was much higher, so I couldn't hit my own people for a while.

    In the era of 1918, what was the concept of 1,500 men launching a charge on a one-kilometer-wide position? The skirmish line of the three battalions of the Andre Regiment had about five meters between each soldier.  To the left and right, and the distance between the front and back is about five meters, but as far as the eye can see, the mountains and plains are already a kilometer wide, and a gray wave of people 30 meters deep roars towards the coalition position a few hundred meters away on the opposite side.

    Faced with the impact of the Soviet Red Army infantry regiment, which was three times his own, the Allied squad machine guns on the opposite position were still firing leisurely, and the Mosin-Nagant rifles in the hands of the dismounted Allied cavalry were also firing.  The ups and downs are so lively.

    In this wave of people set off by the charging Soviet Red Army soldiers, some people were constantly hit and fell by the opponent's bullets, but obviously more people were still running and shouting. The speed of fire and threat level of the machine guns of the coalition squad on the opposite side were obvious.  It was much worse than the heavy machine gun, and the Mosin-Nagant mounted rifle in the opponent's hand was obviously as powerful as the Mosin-Nagant rifle of the Red Army soldiers. There was no difference. This inspired Andre even more.  and his soldiers, no one doubts that as long as they charge into position, victory will belong to the glorious Soviet Red Army!  Any hesitation and cowardice will only cost you your life.

    Someone who stops and is obviously more likely to be the target of shooting than a person who is running. Although the coalition's rifle fire has been uninterrupted, the firepower of the squad machine gun with a 20-round magazine will obviously be damaged when changing magazines.  The pauses and gaps in firepower made Andre and his regiment feel confident that they had found the key to defeating the coalition forces!

    Soon, Andrei and the Soviet Red Army all over the mountains and plains had rushed from 400 meters to 300 meters, and from 300 meters to 250 meters. Although during the charge, nearly 300 people were hit by the rain of bullets on the coalition positions and fell down.  , but the remaining more than 1,200 Soviet Red Army soldiers shouted "Ula" and still struggled to attack, and the enemy's firepower never strengthened. Berklov even saw through the telescope that many soldiers on the opposite coalition position turned around and left.  In the front-line trenches, many people were killed and wounded by volley fire from the Soviet Red Army.

    Damn it!  victory is in sight!  Berkloff's heartbeat accelerated, and he waved his gun and shouted to the messenger behind him, "Give me my order! Order the two regiments on the left and right wings to attack on all fronts! Drive the enemy into the river in one go!"

    As he spoke, the man jumped up, waved his gun and shouted at the Soviet Red Army soldiers of the second regiment beside him, "Blow the charge horn! All charge! Resolutely capture the enemy! Bolsheviks, follow me!"  As he said this, he ignored the stray bullets whizzing over his head and jumped off the hillside first. The second regiment behind Berklov, about 2,000 Russian Red Army soldiers and infantry, saw the division commander ordering an all-out attack, with a row of trumpet soldiers behind him.  With the sound of the brass horns in their hands, they all stood up from the ground, shouted "Ula" and followed their commanders forward to attack.

    Two waves of people were surging on the position at the same time. Andre's team, which was at the front, had more than 1,100 people left and had already rushed to a position 250 meters away from the opponent's position. Berklov's second wave of people followed.  At a position 120 meters behind, at the same time, the two regiments on the left and right wings also launched a charge. At this time, in front of the three-kilometer-wide coalition position, there were seven or eight thousand Red Army soldiers who were densely packed and launched a tsunami-like attack.  attack.

    For the Soviet Red Army soldiers on the ground, as long as they rush to the opponent's position, victory is within easy reach!

    If the regiment of Sergei¡¯s Cavalry Division is still in the same state as it was a month ago, then facing the overwhelming charge of almost seven or eight thousand Soviet Red Army troops, it will definitely be a counter-attack.The situation is about to collapse. The problem is that Sergey has already seen the big market on the southeastern defense line of Ufa. Rzhevsky has three times more troops and 20 artillery batteries than Xiao Xie.  The commanding defensive position was defeated, and the attack of the Soviet Red Army of the two brigades in front of Sergei was nothing at all.

    This guy put up this formation originally with the intention that even if the opponent's two infantry divisions were deployed in full force, he would be able to resist giving the opponent a hard bite before considering whether to retreat or transfer and lead the enemy in circles. He sent it out during the chaotic battle just now.  The clever young man Steyunov, who is the cavalry platoon leader of the guard company of Sergei's division headquarters, has taken advantage of the chaos to return to his position. This makes Sergey even more lightly armed and has no psychological burden.  Otherwise, it would be depressing if Steyunov was accidentally injured or killed by his own people.

    Classmate Steyunov, who has now returned to the battlefield, has become a hero of the cavalry regiment. He is now carrying the Browning squad in the platoon and shooting with a machine gun!

    The 9th Brigade of the 5th Sergei Cavalry Division consisted of four battalions with approximately 2,000 men defending a 3-kilometer-long position. Seeing that the opponent launched a mass sea tactic and charge, Sergey was not polite and stood on a hill behind the position.  The commanding officer waved his hand fiercely and ordered,

    "All platoon mortars fire! Target the enemy's rear group and drive them forward to the position! The heavy machine gun enters the position and prepares to fire. Don't fire until the enemy rushes within 200 meters!"

    Sergey's 5th Cavalry Division, like Petrovich's 4th Cavalry Division, equipped the platoons with Browning squads of the coalition with machine guns. Each squad had two M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles. In addition, each squad had two M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles.  The platoon has two 60mm caliber platoon-affiliated mortars, each company is equipped with an M1917A1 Browning water-cooled heavy machine gun, and each battalion is also equipped with an 8-gun 81mm caliber battalion-affiliated mortar platoon.

    The second regiment of the 9th Brigade of the 5th Division is currently guarding the position. The regiment has four cavalry battalions with more than 2,000 people. It has 16 cavalry companies and 48 platoons. There are 32 81mm caliber battalion mortars,  16 Browning heavy machine guns, 48 ??Browning squad machine guns and 96 60mm caliber platoon mortars, the firepower is quite powerful, and the Russian soldiers of the cavalry division have experienced the test of blood and fire under the city of Ufa.  Morale and fighting will are very high.

    When the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side launched a full-line attack to take down itself in one go, Sergey gave the attack order at the right time. 96 platoon mortars lifted the cover from the position on the reverse slope of the hillside behind the coalition position.  The branches used as camouflage began to bombard the second wave of Soviet Red Army troops not far away 500 meters down the hillside.

    The density of mortars on the three-kilometer front was almost 30 meters high. The mortar shells flew towards the enemy's second wave of people with a unique thumping sound and roar. Every shot was fired.  Almost hundreds of people were blown away by nearly a hundred exploding mortar shells, and the Red Army's rear formation was in chaos for a while.

    "Charge forward! Don't stop! Absolutely don't stop! Rush to the position and capture all the enemy's mortars! The opponent only has one regiment! The entire charge is not allowed to stop!" Berkloff waved his gun angrily.  ** Kicked many Soviet and Russian Red Army soldiers around who were frightened by the opponent's shelling and fell to the ground with their heads in their hands. They kicked them up from the ground and rushed forward!

    As the saying goes, recruits are afraid of cannons because they are loud and scary. New recruits are inexperienced and will naturally be afraid. Veterans are afraid of machine guns because although cannons are loud, they are not afraid once they are used to hearing them. They can also judge the direction and time of landing, making it easier to avoid; and machine guns  Once it rings, it is very lethal and the firepower is intensive. It is not easy to escape, especially when charging.

    Although Berklov was a young Soviet general, he, like Army Group Commander Tukhachevsky, had participated in Tsarist Russia¡¯s battle against Germany and Austria on the Eastern Front, so he was still very experienced, and his group of soldiers did not  I have seen the mortars of the coalition forces. In fact, the mortars have low muzzle velocity and roar, which makes it easy to judge the direction. When charging the enemy, you must not lie still and be bombed, but rush over in one go.

    As long as the opponent does not have heavy machine guns, Berkloff believes that at most one-third of the casualties will be incurred, and his team can rush to the opponent's position. By then, those squad machine guns and mortars will become his trophies. If  There are so many mortars, damn, I personally led the team to capture them in Sterli Tamak Town!

    Therefore, although the coalition's nearly a hundred mortars were pouring shells at the charging Soviet Red Army brigade, Berklov's charge with the troops did not slow down but moved forward faster.

    Sergey saw all this with a telescope from behind his position, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Using mortars to drive away ducks was his long-planned strategy. The Soviet Red Army's assault skirmisher line was blocked by his own  By rushing like this, we are squeezing forward even closer, which makes it harder to run. Secondly, it makes it easier for me to use my machine gun firepower!

    Andre, who was leading the charge, had unknowingly fallen to the rear of his three battalions.The 150-meter sprint and the bullets whizzing past his ears made the guy a little out of breath. The division commander Berkloff blew the horn for the entire army to charge from behind, which made him energetic again. Looking back, he saw the mountains and plains.  The figures of his own people were approaching quickly, and Andre felt a lot more courageous. This was not Ufa. The coalition did not have such terrible heavy machine guns and cannons. The positions were dug shallowly. Seeing that this was where he had made his contribution.  Opportunity, I wonder if I will have the chance to be promoted to the position of brigade commander after this battle.
