    "What are you afraid of The 8th Regiment alone can't win the battle? As long as Budyonny is here, there is no battle that cannot be won. Didn't I just say that the commander of the 7th Don Cavalry Division led the 13th Cavalry Brigade to the north?  Are they chasing our reconnaissance battalion pretending to be the main force of the army? The commander of the enemy brigade in front of us is their chief of staff. Judging from the situation, they are afraid of wolves in front of us and afraid of tigers in the back. They probably want to hold us back until their 13th Cavalry Brigade comes from the north.  Come around and encircle our retreat! That¡¯s why this battle is so tough!¡±

    Budyonny was chewing a piece of grass in his mouth, while using his binoculars to look at the cavalry battalion that was lining up to attack him. He estimated that the distance between the two sides was at least 1,500 meters, and the other side's cavalry was still taking small steps.  While advancing, the ranks of the 4th Cavalry Battalion of the Soviet Red Army spread out widely, and the scattered artillery strikes of the White Guards became increasingly inaccurate under the smoke.  novel chapter

    "Commander! Let's fire! We don't have enough troops. If we put the enemy too close, I'm afraid that the enemy's main force behind will swarm up" Brigadier Romanenko suggested a little uneasily. The commander was saying  You need to use your own 4th Cavalry Brigade to stage an empty city strategy. If you can't win, run away. Don't injure Budyonny. This is not a risk. By then, all the cadres and soldiers of the Cavalry Army will have to settle accounts with themselves. This  I, Romanenko, absolutely cannot bear the responsibility.

    At this time, the four horse-drawn machine guns that were originally galloping on the two wings of the battalion attacking the White Guards each drove up to the small breakthrough and began to turn around. The roar of the Russian Maxim wheeled heavy machine guns with shields on the carriages rang out.  , and on Zhukov's side, the entire 4th Cavalry Battalion turned their horses' heads at the timely sound of the trumpet and withdrew from the first line of position along the grove on the right.  novel chapter

    "Prokofy Logvinovich, order the artillery battery to fire and knock out the opponent's heavy machine guns After the attack, move the position back" Army commander Budyonny naturally took over the brigade commander's position.  Romanenko's command authority, "The heavy machine gun company held its breath and waited for the enemy's cavalry to charge up before firing, so that it would be difficult for the opponent to dodge"

    "Zhukov, you lead the 1st and 4th Battalions and prepare to attack from the right wing. Once you get out, don't stop. You must twist off the wings of the regiment on the opponent's left wing like butter and then we will go northwest all the way.  penetrate the enemy's position, and then go southwest to join Gorodovikov's 3rd Cavalry Brigade"

    "Romanenko, take the 2nd and 3rd battalions to follow me. The whole army will follow. Shasha Mishka, bring out the flag of Semyon Mikhainovich Budyonny. The whole army will follow."  Prepare for an assault and tell the soldiers that Budyonny will lead the 1st Cavalry Division to fight back and resolutely eliminate the brigade behind the White Guards! The artillery company is following us! The heavy machine gun company is guarding the two wings!"

    At this time, the cannons of the Soviet Red Army artillery battery waiting in the rear of the position roared. Three consecutive rounds of rapid attacks broke up the attacking White Guard cavalry formation, and the four horse-drawn machine guns were also overturned from the slope.  They rolled to the ground, and the Cossack White Guards were stunned for a moment after being shelled at the beginning. Then, under the urging of the horn, they waved their sabers and let their horses run. More than 500 Cossack cavalry men screamed at the Soviet Red Army here.  They rushed over from the position, and the distance between the two sides quickly shortened to about 800 meters.

    After the Soviet Red Army's artillery battery knocked out four Maxim heavy machine guns in the enemy's attack, it quickly stopped shooting and began to move its position. At this time, the White Guards' artillery also began to move its targets and try to shoot at the Soviet Red Army artillery battery's position.  , but the time difference of less than half a minute caused the shells fired by the White Guards to basically miss.

    Following the 6 Maxim heavy machine guns deployed by Zhukov's 8th Cavalry Regiment on both sides of the position, the intense machine gun fire immediately swept away the cavalrymen of the White Guards cavalry battalion that had expanded to more than 300 meters wide. The White Guards' offensive  Suddenly there was a stagnation, and the commander of the White Guards, seeing that the situation was not good, gave an order, and another cavalry battalion rushed forward from the left and right wing positions, trying to rush forward with the attacking battalion in front.  The position of the Soviet Red Army.

    Seeing that the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army had been suppressed, the White Guards' artillery positions hurriedly began to shift targets, preparing to follow the same example and use artillery fire to overturn the Soviet Red Army's heavy machine gun positions to the ground. The Soviet Red Army's  On the side, Budyonny gave an order. Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, the young commander of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, got on his horse, raised the saber in his hand, and pointed at the 1st Cavalry Battalion and 4th Cavalry Battalion behind him.  The battalion of more than a thousand Red Army cavalry soldiers roared,

    "The 1st and 4th Cavalry Battalions, the glorious Budyonny cavalry, follow me! Cut the bastard White Guards bastards in half Budyonny! Budyonny! Forward! Ula"  Before he finished speaking, Zhukov took the lead and rushed out with his orderlies. Behind him, the 1st and 4th cavalry battalions were waving their sharp sabers in the crowd, and followed the young regiment leader shouting "Bujoni  BudyonniUlaUlaforwardforward?"" slogans rushed out.

    "Blow the bugle! Blow the charge bugle!" Brigadier Romanov hurriedly shouted to the buglers behind him!

    "Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick" The loud charge horn sounded on the Soviet Red Army position, and more than 1,000 Soviet Red Army cavalry led by Zhukov waved their sharp sabers and charged straight into the center like an arrow from the string.  The enemy's cavalry battalion, which had suffered more than 100 casualties, was in chaos.

    At this time, the White Guard artillery suppressed the Soviet Red Army machine gun position but did not have time to achieve results. The Soviet Red Army artillery company that moved its position fired a series of rapid artillery fire directly on the White Guard artillery company position. Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and shrapnel roared.  Immediately afterwards, a stray bullet detonated the artillery shells piled on the White Guards artillery position, and a series of louder explosions suddenly sounded, and the artillery company belonging to the 14th White Guards Cavalry Brigade was wiped out.

    The White Guard vanguard battalion, which had lost the cover of machine guns and artillery fire, had suffered more than half of its casualties. It collapsed at the first encounter under the attack of Zhukov's two cavalry battalions. Zhukov led more than 1,000 Soviet cavalry to chase more than 300 defeated soldiers, like  A gust of wind blew past, and the cavalry battalion that came out for reinforcements on the opponent's left was caught off guard and was thrown into disarray, while the cavalry battalion on the right seemed to come around to attack Zhukov's flank.
