    Deputy battalion commander Aliyev fired up the 1st company that was still lying on the ground. The Cossacks mounted their horses one after another and chased to the west of the jungle under the leadership of Aliyev. Here Levchenko ordered angrily, and the losses were  The 3rd Cavalry Company, the largest, rescued the wounded and cleaned the battlefield. The 3rd Cavalry Company, which was preparing to let the wounded soldiers retreat with the wounded and the bodies of the dead soldiers, first retreated to the right-wing position of the 1st Infantry Division one kilometer away.

    Then he turned to the battalion messenger behind him and shouted, "Manjuk, take someone back first to report to the division commander that our cavalry reconnaissance battalion discovered a platoon of enemy scouts northwest of the division's position. It looks like a Chinese  Troops, now the enemy has been defeated by me. Deputy battalion commander Aliyev is leading the 1st company to clear up and pursue. The 3rd company has suffered heavy losses and is on its way back with the wounded. I am leading the 4th and 4th companies to stay where they are.  Waiting for the teacher's instructions! The fastest update, all text typed by hand!

    The messengers from the reconnaissance battalion here have not yet set off. The messengers from the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division headquarters on the road behind them have already rushed over on horseback. Division Commander Milevsky¡¯s orderly Nazarenko is sweating.  He dismounted, threw himself in front of Levchenko, breathlessly saluted and reported,

    "Yevgeny Alexeyevich, the division commander wants your battalion to report the situation. Why are the gunshots so chaotic? How many enemies have been encountered? Find out as soon as possible and report immediately!

    Before Levchenko, the battalion commander here, could say anything, he heard intensive gunfire again in the jungle that had been silent for a while. Levchenko and the surrounding Cossack cavalry hurriedly fell to the ground in a panic.  , Battalion Commander Levchenko looked around and took a breath of cold air. At this time, he led the No. 1 Cossack Cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Company to pursue less than 1 meter to the west. From their flank, that is, the enemy just now  The grass on both sides of the ambush ditch once again sprayed out dense rain of bullets.

    The firing sound of the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle was as loud as beans, and was also mixed with the firing sound of at least a Browning light machine gun. It seemed that there was at least one platoon of Chinese scouts lurking on both sides of the original position.  Instead of evacuating, the firepower was fully opened at this time, and the Cossack cavalrymen led by the deputy battalion commander meters away were beaten to a pulp by at least dozens of Ukrainian cavalrymen who were carefully pulling their horses to avoid the obstacles of the bushes.  The firepower swept down the horses, and the remaining survivors hurriedly jumped off their horses and looked for any place to cover their bodies.

    Fortunately, it was the main force of the well-trained Ukrainian National Army. Soon, an mg8 water-cooled heavy machine gun on horseback assigned to the 1st Cavalry Company seized the position and started firing. This was considered a bit of suppression.  Withstand the opponent's firepower.

    Here, the battalion commander Levchenko, who was lying on the ground and had a clear view with a telescope, was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke. He didn't expect that the enemy was really a platoon of troops. They had only arranged for one squad to open fire before. After taking advantage of this, the Chinese scout  The squad pretended to retreat and led his 1st company to the west. Then, he lurked the squad that did not fire at the original position and attacked the waist and buttocks of the 3rd Cavalry Company from the flank. This time, the 3rd Company could also be killed.  The beating was miserable.

    "Pass my order! The whole battalion dismounts and fights. The 1st company passes by the enemy's flank. I move all the heavy machine guns from the horseback racks and go into battle. The 4th company takes over the position of the 3rd company. Manjuk,  You and Nazarenko go back and report to the division commander that our reconnaissance battalion was attacked by an enemy company on the west side of the road in front of the right wing of the division's main position. We are currently encircling and encircling the enemy. We will wait until the opponent is eaten!"

    The commander of the Ukrainian Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion reacted quite quickly at this moment. He finally discovered that fighting in forests mixed with dense bushes was completely different for the cavalry from fighting in open plains. At this time, fighting on horseback was not only  It cannot increase its speed, and it has become the best shooting target and target for the ambushing infantry of the opponent. The area of ????this man and horse is large and dazzling. We can no longer fight on horseback so stupidly. We have to dismount and become infantry. I am alone.  The battalion has 4 companies. If you can't kill your first reconnaissance platoon, why do you want me to go back and see the division commander Milevsky?

    After the entire Ukrainian cavalry battalion dismounted to fight, the casualties were indeed much smaller. The opponent's shooting density gradually weakened under the suppression of the crossfire of 3 mg8 heavy machine guns. However, at this time, the opponent was covering and firing from two positions. That  The squad who was pretending to retreat lay down behind the trunk of a big tree that had been knocked down by lightning about 18 meters to the west and fired. A Browning light machine gun fired short, powerful but unhurried bursts of fire, suppressing the cavalry.  The left flank position of the 1st Company.

    In the dry river ditch 1 meter away in the north, at least one Chinese squad was shooting at a distance of about one meter. The Browning squad used machine guns to hold back the remaining cavalry, which only had more than 7 people.  Frontal fire from the 1st Company.

    Eight meters away from the right-wing position of the 1st Cavalry Company, the 1st Cavalry Company entered the position to take over from the 3rd Company, which had suffered nearly half of its casualties. The cavalryman No. 1, who had dismounted and was fighting, lay on the ground holding a Mosina in his hand.  Ganqi's rifle crackled towards the enemy 1 meter away.???The squad's position shooting.

    Next to a bush on the left wing of the No. 1 company is an MG8 roaring and pouring out ammunition, but the sad thing is that half of the bullet belt is not finished. The No. 1 company here has replaced three machine gun shooters, and the opponent's sniper is within 1 meter.  Almost all the ammunition was missed. After the fourth Ukrainian machine gunner was headshot by the opponent, the soldiers of the 1st company lying on the ground looked at each other. No one dared to touch the MG8 heavy machine gun.

    The fate of the MG8 heavy machine gun shooter on the Ukrainian 1st Company position on the west side was equally bad. They changed shooters one after another and just finished shooting a bullet belt. The sixth shooter did not dare to raise his head and aim at all. He was dead.  He lay on the ground, buried his face behind the machine gun, held the shooting handle in his hand and fired randomly with his eyes closed. Just like that, without firing a single bullet, the guy's right hand was directly cut off by the bullet fired by the opponent's sniper.  With half of his hand holding a broken hand that was bleeding like a fountain, the machine gun shooter was rolling all over the ground and it was unbearable to watch.

    Levchenko was lying in the command position behind a big tree. He was so stunned that he almost fainted. Damn it, how can we fight this battle?  His own cavalry was so suppressed by the opponent's sniper's accurate shooting that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. They were simply hiding behind cover and firing with their eyes closed. It's crazy if they could hit the enemy!
