    "Where are your mortars? You won't move the heavy machine guns to a safe position and bombard the opponent with mortars? It's just a platoon. Even if there are a few snipers, your mortars can hide in the big trees.  Shoot them from behind!" Division Chief of Staff Kravshenko could not hold his breath anymore. If a platoon of the Allied Forces could defeat an elite division cavalry reconnaissance battalion, how could this battle continue?

    "Chief of Staff, of course we also thought about mortars, but you know, it is not easy to unload the mortar and find a suitable launching position under the muzzle of the opponent's sniper! The forest is so dense, and we have to avoid the enemy.  The sniper's muzzle needs to be able to smoothly exit the barrel and fly towards the target instead of hitting a tree and exploding. This is a difficult balance," Levchenko said with a grimace and his hands.

    "Huh? You won't set up artillery emplacements along the east side of the road under the embankment? It will be difficult for the enemy's snipers to spot you there. Don't tell me that you just have 4 mortars in vain! You are such a pig!  "How did your battalion get ambushed? Are the enemy's reinforcements coming? Why don't you come back to ask for help?" Division Commander Milevsky grabbed the cavalry battalion again.  The long collar shook violently

    "Commander, we did choose the mortar position like this later, but the enemy took advantage of the opportunity when we transferred the heavy machine gun position of mg08 to lose firepower, and the opponent's platoon girl ran to the west!" Levchenko muttered,  In my heart, I was complaining about why I had to go after him in such a hurry?  If we didn¡¯t pursue it, the outcome wouldn¡¯t be as miserable as it is now.¡± Look

    "Run away? Are you saying that you were ambushed by the enemy when you went to pursue it? How many enemies ambushed you, and asked you to withdraw less than a company of troops after asking you to have a battalion? Tell me!" Milevs  Ji gasped and ran around in the tent Beiyang 1917701

    "There aren't many enemies. In fact, it's not the enemy's reinforcements, but the opponent's ambush in the second dry ditch on the flank. I didn't expect that we fought so fiercely and lively with one of their platoons before. The opponent's ambush unit was stunned.  I watched coldly and did not fire. After the division commander, chief of staff, and the enemy platoon withdrew, I ordered the 1st and 2nd companies to dismount and enter the forest to pursue the opponent. Of course, we first occupied the opponent's previous position, and I led the 4th company.  Get on your horse and run south to take a detour, preparing to take a detour from the south to capture the enemy's platoon's retreat!"

    Levchenko's lips were trembling and chapped. Upon seeing this, Chief of Staff Kravshenko nuzzled his lips to the orderly beside him. An orderly handed a kettle to the commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion. Levchenko took a gulp of it.  Only then did he regain some energy, and then said,

    "I didn't expect that the enemy came with a company this time. They had only used one platoon before. After the platoon retreated south, our 1st and 2nd companies followed and occupied the opponent's platoon's position. Both companies were completely  Exposed under the eyes of the enemy's two ambush platoons, the enemy unexpectedly opened fire. At a distance of 5,080 meters, at least 6 Browning squads of the enemy fired at the same time with machine guns. Moreover, the opponent was also equipped with mortars.  , two volleys from four mortars overturned the mortar position we deployed on the road to the ground. The gunner who was lucky enough to survive fell to the gunfire of the opponent's sniper as soon as he stood up! "

    "Then the enemy's platoon that was pretending to retreat to the west also turned around and came back. The 1st and 2nd cavalry companies were completely destroyed. Not one of them ran out. The horses were all surrendered by the enemy. What was a shame was that when I led the 4th company from the south,  When we came back, the enemy company actually rode on our captured war horses and retreated back north in a flash. The ground was covered with the corpses of my battalion's fallen brothers. Except for a dozen wounded and health soldiers, the enemy just tied them up and didn't take them with them.  After leaving, the brothers who were captured alive were asked to be wrapped up and taken away to the north! "

    When Levchenko said this, he could no longer stand up and fainted. A few orderlies were busy holding him up, but their eyes were looking at the division commander and chief of staff. Milevsky hated him.  He stamped his foot, waved his hand and said, "Take it down and ask the military doctor to take a look. All the people who have returned from the cavalry camp will be checked in the camp first. They should apply medicine and bandage when it is time. They are not allowed to come into contact with other people. You should also close up."  Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±

    After the staff and orderlies dragged the cavalry battalion commander Levchenko out, the division chief of staff Kravshenko came over and whispered,

    "Division Commander, I just checked outside. There are 4 companies in the cavalry battalion. The 3rd company was the first to be attacked and suffered seventy or eighty casualties. The company commander was killed in the battle. More than half of the 2nd company and 1st company were killed. The remaining  There were more than 20 wounded, and both company commanders were captured. Only the 4th company led by Levchenko suffered the most casualties. During the pursuit, more than a dozen were killed by the opponent's snipers. Levchenko's head was  and arms were injured by the opponent's mortar shells! There were 560 people in the battalion, 198 were injured, 232 were killed, and 25 were captured. Only 115 people were withdrawn intact with Levchenko, heavy machine guns and mortar shells.  All the cannons were lost, and most of the horses were lost!¡±

      "***, the opponent really only has one company? Chief of Staff, this battle can't be fought. I think we have to withdraw!" Milevsky was really confused at this moment, Lev  Chenko and the Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion are the first-class main battalions of his 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. At this moment, they were beaten by a company of the Allied Allied Forces. This made the division commander feel chilled. If the north  The enemy troops chasing us all have the configuration and combat effectiveness of this coalition reconnaissance company. How to fight this battle?

    "No! Division Commander, we can't withdraw easily now. The opponent is a reconnaissance company with many snipers. The machine gun used by the Browning squad is lighter and easier to use in the bushland than our mg08, not to mention the shooting of the opponent's mortar crew.  The level is also quite high, but among the tens of thousands of troops of the Allied Powers, it is impossible for everyone to be as well-trained and tough as the soldiers of the opponent's reconnaissance company. Moreover, our artillery has not been used yet. I guess, the opponent's soldiers  There is only one reason why the reconnaissance company dares to attack our reconnaissance battalion under our noses!"

    Division Chief of Staff Kravshenko rolled his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and he even pretended to be serious

    "What's the reason? Chief of Staff, why are you so tight-lipped at this moment? The pursuers of the Allied Powers may already be on their way to attack you, but you still have the leisure to do so! Find a way for me quickly!" Division Commander Milevsky shouted.  stand up
