    Soon the remaining seventeen or eighteen heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun battalion accompanying the infantry regiment's attack began to spit out tongues of flame and lick the trenches of the Soviet Red Army's first line position 1,200 meters away, blocking the nozzles of every suspicious machine gun fire point.  The White Guard infantrymen who were underground roared and climbed up. Under the urging of the battalion and company commanders' whistles, they began to trot forward and charge forward, but the skirmisher lines were still widely dispersed.  8 9 views

    The position facing the Soviet Red Army was actually the position of a regiment. Many impatient Red Army soldiers began to shoot aimlessly. Although the Mosin Nagant was a good hand-pulled bolt-action rifle and was modified into an installation in later generations.  A sniper rifle with a scope is used, but it has an effective shooting distance of 800 meters only with the aid of a scope.  All text typed by hand

    As for the Mosin-Nagant rifle's real effective combat distance when shooting with a mechanical sight that acts as a bayonet mount, it is only 400 meters. Only a sharpshooter can hit the target, because even if the target is 400 meters away, if it is an enemy lying on the ground.  The cross-section of the shooter's field of vision is also much smaller than the cross-section of the crosshair. This is why many sharpshooters rely on feeling rather than vision to shoot at an enemy 400 meters away, which is a real miss.

    Therefore, the continuous sound of rifle shooting on the Soviet Red Army position at this time can only be regarded as a bit chaotic. Of course, the regiment-scale skirmish line attack was against the Soviet Red Army who had participated in the three Tsaritsyn defense battles.  It is not unfamiliar to the soldiers of the 10th Army. What is tragic is that Gidis has led the army's five main infantry divisions to withdraw south. The one who remains on the position to support the scene is the 1st Kameshin Infantry commanded by the Army Chief of Staff Pavlov.  Division and the 42nd Infantry Division.  Please come to "" to see the latest chapter

    The 42nd Simbirsk Infantry Division is a unit recruited and expanded along the way after the 10th Army retreated from Tsaritsyn and headed north. Although many backbones and squad, battalion, and company cadres were transferred from the Kameshin Division to enrich the unit, after all, the new recruits accounted for  Most of them had not even fired more than ten rounds of live ammunition. The Red Army soldiers of the 42nd Infantry Division and 83rd Brigade, who were guarding this position, were a little panicked when they saw the White Guards swooping down in overwhelming numbers.

    Of course, the most important thing is that the Soviet Red Army's machine gun fire points on the position were removed one by one by the opponent's dense and accurate artillery fire. The artillery position behind them was completely silenced by the opponent's sudden fire. Some of the artillery had been beaten to pieces.  The gunners suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining ones were desperately trying to move their positions. This was a vacuum period, and the Soviet Red Army had completely lost the support and cover of artillery fire. However, the opponent's Maxim heavy machine gun was suppressing it with long bursts of fire from 1,200 meters away.  own line of defense.

    The soldiers of the White Guard Infantry Regiment here obviously realized that the Soviet Red Army on the opposite position was not actually the main force of the legendary Southern Front. They looked at the posture of firing guns at random from a distance of 1,000 meters. Maybe they were temporarily recruiting strong men to expand their strength.  The formed rookie troops took advantage of the opponent's running soldiers to become silent. More than 1,800 White Guards soldiers stood up and rushed forward quickly with their guns in hand and their waists in hand.

    The dull firing sound of the horse-drawn heavy machine gun behind him was like a drumbeat, accompanying the charging steps of the White Guards. Soon the White Guards rushed within 500 meters in front of the opponent's position. At this time, the artillery fire on the rear position of the White Guards was interrupted. Apparently the White Guards' artillery did not know what was going on.  The reason was also to move the position. Fortunately, the horse-drawn heavy machine gun was still behind, spraying bullets like a whirlwind, suppressing the firepower of the Soviet Red Army's volley of guns on the position.

    As they approached within 500 meters, the volley fire on the Soviet Red Army position began to bear fruit. One after another, the charging White Guards soldiers were hit by bullets and fell down. Of course, the Soviet Red Army soldiers lying prone in the trenches of the Russian Red Army firing at the opponent's machine guns  There were also a lot of casualties under the fire coverage.

    "Chief of Staff, the enemy used intensive machine gun fire to suppress the regiment's position. The 42nd Division troops suffered a lot of casualties. The soldiers are a little overwhelmed. The regiment commander requested artillery support from the headquarters artillery battery." A combat staff officer put down the phone in his hand and looked through the telescope.  shouted the chief of staff of the group army who was observing the movements of the frontline battlefield from the lookout window of the shelter.

    "The regiment was ordered to evacuate the first line position along the communication trench and move to the second position 500 meters behind to defend. Use Maxim heavy machine guns to block the communication trench. After all the enemies entered our first line trench, the artillery company opened fire across the board to let the White Guards have a taste of us.  Although Pavlov is only 21 years old, the young chief of staff of the army group is giving orders like a wily guy without looking back.

    Since the opponent's artillery force was almost half as large as his own, Pavlov, who commanded the battle after losing three artillery companies' cannons and gunners, ordered the artillery companies to move to reserve positions to prepare to avoid enemy artillery attacks, and then used sudden attacks on the new positions.  The volleys hit the opponent's artillery positions hard and the losses must be recovered.

    As for the White Guard infantry regiment that the opponent was attacking, Pavlov didn't take it seriously because the opponent's follow-up troops did not attack. He thought that Hastings was just testing his defensive strength, so he was prepared to let the opponent attack his first  first line position and then useOf course, before the sudden artillery attack after moving the position hits the opponent's infantry regiment, the opponent's cannons that exposed the position must be weakened with salvos.

    July 29, 2018 July 29, 2018 - 9:20 Ten kilometers northwest of Buinsk - East Cluster Headquarters, the main force of the White Guards going south

    "Is it strange that the Soviet Red Army actually gave up its face-to-face position?" Guillaume Nikolayevich Hastings, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the White Guards' Eastern Group, looked at what the telescope showed and was a little puzzled. At this time, a combat staff officer was holding a phone behind him.  Report

    "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, Hasik, commander of the 6th Kazan Infantry Division, called that his 21st Infantry Regiment had captured the position of a regiment of the Soviet Red Army after paying the price of more than 300 casualties. He requested to use this as a breakthrough to make further adjustments.  The two regiments went up to try to separate the Soviet Red Army position from the left wing."

    "Tell Hasik to calm down. His 21st Infantry Regiment holds the position they just occupied and does not go deep alone. The 6th Division can first send a regiment to meet the heavy machine gun battalion. Pay attention to building machine gun positions to ensure that the two wings are not cut off by the opponent's counterattack. Inform the artillery company to tighten their positions.  Time to move positions and prepare for the next wave of artillery battle. Also, ask the prisoners as soon as possible about the opponent's troop deployment and reality." Hastings turned around and ordered.
