    ,

    Everyone knows that a four-legged horse can run faster than a two-legged person, but that is in the open areas of the plains. If you go to the mountains, or like today, in the forest wetlands with towering old trees, shrubs and overgrown weeds,  On the battlefield, there is a question mark as to whether the cavalry can catch up with the infantry. Of course, the Ukrainian cavalry battalion, the company that was attacked first and suffered the most casualties, must mount up to chase the fleeing enemies. It is also human to regain the ground for the casualties suffered by the whole company.  smoke

    What¡¯s more, the Ukrainian battalion commander Levchenko ordered not to let an enemy escape!

    "

    As a result, the situation suddenly reached the verge of getting out of control. The cavalry, which led the remainder of the 3rd company to pursue the fleeing Allied Allied Forces reconnaissance squadron, ran past the front of the 2nd squadron position where Fei Hongju was ambushing. He was less than 50 meters away from the position.  Encountered a storm of bullets at a distance, except for the fact that the mortars still did not fire, the firepower of the second squad of the Sharp Knife Platoon was almost full, knocking down a Ukrainian cavalry in one fell swoop, and the captain who was at the forefront was killed.  Both men and horses turned into a hornet's nest

    Under such unexpected side fire, the remaining soldiers of this company that had better run away were only more than 30 people. The Ukrainian cavalry was bleeding like a river of dead men and horses, and the company of the opponent's cavalry battalion was completely  Being beaten and disabled Beiyang 1917697

    The next drama is that all the opponent's cavalry dismounted to fight. The third company took over the position of the disabled company. Together with the second company on the road, three MG08 heavy machine guns on the Ukrainian position also fired.  Of course, the cost of the heavy machine gun attack was that the machine gunners suffered heavy casualties under the precise shooting of six snipers in Fei Hongju's platoon, and the firepower was also intermittently suppressed, but after all, the mg08 heavy machine gun was less than  Look at the shooting at a distance of 150 meters

    Fei Hongju's sharp knife platoon position is divided into two positions. The firepower of the three Browning squad light machine guns is certainly no match for the bullet rain poured down by the Ukrainians' three mg08s. Even if there are snipers constantly knocking out the opponent's machine gunners,  However, there were still casualties on the positions of Class 2 and Class 3 of the Sharp Knife Platoon. Deputy He Xiaosan of Class 3 was killed when a stray machine gun bullet penetrated his helmet. Two soldiers of Class 2 were slightly injured, and Brown of Class 2 was seriously injured.  The main shooter of Ningban's machine gun has been injured to varying degrees under the heavy firepower of the opponent's mg08 heavy machine gun. The machine gun has been handed over to the deputy shooter.

    Fei Hongju originally wanted to continue fighting, but at some point Xiao Qi, the correspondent of the battalion headquarters, rolled into the position from the rear, panting heavily and brought the instructions of battalion commander Tao Dayong, "Don't be reluctant to fight, press  The original plan was to withdraw to the west with the sharp knife platoon!"

    Only then did Fei Hongju, commander of the 1st Armored Company, give the order to retreat. The dead 3rd squad deputy was not left behind, and was directly dragged by Xiao Qi and 4 lightly wounded soldiers along the dry ditch 100 meters behind, under the control of battalion commander Tao Dayong.  The main position of the 1st company was transferred, and the remaining thirty people in the platoon retreated in squad units under the cover of six snipers. At the same time, the six snipers also alternately changed to new shooting positions. On the one hand, they continued to use precise  Killing the opponent who dared to take the lead, the Ukrainian cavalry was shocked and suppressed. On the one hand, they quickly withdrew in the direction of the retreat of the main force of the platoon.

    By the time the Ukrainians came to their senses, the first platoon commanded by Fei Hongju had already withdrawn 400 to 500 meters to the west, while the battalion correspondent Xiao Qi took 4 lightly wounded people and the platoon that unfortunately died in the battle.  The body of Class 3 Deputy He Xiaosan also rolled and crawled through the cover of the dry river ditch and successfully returned to the main concealed position commanded by Battalion Commander Tao Dayong. The first-aid kit produced in China contained morphine and Yunnan Baiyao, plus gauze bandages and cotton balls.  As early as the 1st platoon position, the four lightly wounded people had been bandaged. The injuries of the four people were all on the arms and shoulders. Due to the timely bandaging, there was not much blood flow and it did not affect the movement much.

    "***! The command of this Ukrainian cavalry battalion commander is not bad. I am confused. This guy's battalion has suffered so many casualties. At least half of the company has folded in. How can he be calm and not ask the 1st Ukrainian infantry behind him?  Did the division send reinforcements? Could it be that the camp less than 1 kilometer east of the main road behind is an empty city? This is impossible."

    Tao Dayong, the commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, who was lying in a command position behind a bush and looking at the situation ahead with a telescope, put down the telescope in his hand, couldn't help but push the helmet on his head, and whispered, "Look up.  Fan Yijun, who was lying on the armor 1st company, couldn't help but remind him,

    "Battalion Commander, look, the enemy is coming from the east side of the road. A company is coming. Hey, that's strange. It's not cavalry. Why are they chasing our 1st platoon? They don't ride horses, they just go on foot as infantry to chase. What's going on?  Can you catch up? It only takes 25 minutes on average for the Sharp Knife Platoon to complete a 5-kilometer armed cross-country trip. Hey, battalion commander, the other company that was shooting against the company commander and the others just now is approaching the platoon's earlier position. Hey, battalion commander,  The companies on the other side of the road are mounting their horses and seem to be running south. Is the enemy trying to escape? "

    Lieutenant Fan Yijun attached to the 1st Armored Company was obviously the same as the soldiers of the 2nd Platoon. His morale was boosted by the impressive performance of the 1st Jiandao Platoon led by the company commander Fei Hongju. He was feeling nervous at the moment.The anxiety that seemed to have dissipated was gone. When I heard that the battalion commander Tao Dayong was going to lead the 1st company to single-handedly challenge the opponent's cavalry battalion, the worried mood was wiped away. Don't mention it, the 1st company is actually a very powerful force.  Xun, a good reconnaissance staff officer, clearly saw the movement of the Ukrainians who were more than 200 meters away in the opposite direction in just a moment.

    "Hey, I said 1st company is attached. What are you talking about? It makes me upset. Damn it! This Ukrainian commander really doesn't play his cards according to the directions. Look, this guy has brought a company of cavalry to the south.  , that¡¯s not running away, it¡¯s either going back to bring in reinforcements and calling for artillery support from the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division, or running south in a big circle to block our platoon¡¯s path. I finally figured it out, in the forest  Fighting on horseback in thickets and jungles makes it difficult to move at all, and just trying to find a way through the bushes is exhausting!" Tao Dayong continued to observe the situation on the battlefield with his binoculars as he spoke!

    "Battal Commander, do you think the enemy has learned the lesson? What should we do now? Almost two companies of the opponent's troops have reached the 1st platoon's position. Let's fight? If we get closer, the opponent will notice us! Hey, Battalion Commander  Look, this Ukrainian cavalry battalion is also equipped with mortars. Look, behind the road, about 400 meters away, is there a mortar position next to the roadbed? There are three mortars.  Hey, I don¡¯t know how they did it! Why didn¡¯t they do it earlier?¡± Fan Lianfu was still shouting in surprise while looking through the telescope.
