    The cavalry company survived.

    Their last battle, if fought, would definitely result in the total annihilation of the entire army.  Not to mention the high morale, even killing a group of pigs would be enough to tire them to death.

    Maybe life shouldn¡¯t be cut off.  Just when Babuzabu was about to enjoy the pleasure of annihilating this "stubborn army", the bow-legged man who was looking at him screamed: "What is that!"

    Babuzabu trembled.  Even when faced with a cavalry company, a powerful enemy that he had never encountered in his life, Qingyi Shengmin had never been so surprised. What made this Japanese general who boasted that "Taishan Mountain collapses without changing his expression" so forgetful?  He picked up the telescope, and the scene in front of him made him feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.

    A large number of cavalry rushed towards here from a distance, like a rolling torrent.  As light as ever, as tough as ever.

    Babuzabu and Qingyi Shengmin looked at each other, and unnaturally thought of one thing: If this unit can fight as well as the cavalry company just now, where should they go?

    The horses that Wang Wensheng, Li Debiao and others were about to run out stopped. The huge movement behind them made these intelligent beasts flick their tails uneasily.  Several people from the surviving cavalry company looked at each other and inquired. Their faces suddenly lit up with joy. It was our people who had arrived!

    Yes, it¡¯s Tan Hai¡¯s special operations brigade.

    Tan Hai's special operations brigade was able to receive reinforcements before Guo Songling's main force. It happened that Zhang Hanqing knew the stain on Babu Zabu's history and concluded that he would flee to the prairie he was familiar with, and Guo Songling could catch up with him.  The army has only one cavalry company, and the disparity in strength will make the Guard Brigade's first battle unfavorable. Therefore, it was decided to send out a yet-to-be-formed special operations brigade.

    Guo Songling had already set out for a day. Even if emergency marches were common during training, and Zhang Hanqing also assigned cavalry to the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade, there was no way the special operations brigade could catch up with the cavalry company in just two days.  However, considering that the cavalry company is not a lightly-armed pursuit, but only serves as the vanguard of the bandit suppression army on the Western Front and cannot stay too far away from the main force, the speed of the special operations brigade is still faster than that of the cavalry company.

    If the cavalry company hadn't separated from the main force in this long-distance assault, the special operations brigade would have definitely caught up a hundred miles ago.  After two days of rapid march, Tan Hai judged that the cavalry company as the vanguard of the Western Route Army should have arrived at the bank of the Huolin River, because the news from the Western Route Army communications soldiers he met along the way was that the large troops were heading towards Huolin Gol.  , according to the latest news, the cavalry company is about a hundred kilometers away in front of the main force, and according to the distance, it should reach the gathering point of the Western Route Army.

    His unit was brought out for military training and had no designated tasks. Zhang Hanqing's idea for him was to cruise in the middle reaches of the Huolin River and, if possible, take the opportunity to capture Tuquan and hold on to it.  In this way, the first line of defense can be built before Guo Songling's troops are in place.

    But the situation changed quickly. In just one day, it was learned that the rebels had crossed the Huolin River, and it was meaningless to seize Tuquan. Instead, it would prompt the rebels to flee deeper into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia faster.

    ??More recent news, a messenger from a cavalry company reported that the cavalry company was engaged in a weak-to-strong attack with the enemy bandits. Tan Hai immediately understood the friendly army's plan: This was to trade life for time!

    Stopping the concerns of the brigade staff about changing the order of the bandit suppression headquarters, Tan Hai immediately issued an order: "All the officers and soldiers of the special force, discard their baggage, leaving only their weapons, and march towards the town of Turemaodu!"

    There is no distance.  During the two hours of cavalry duel, the physical warfare brigade had already caught up.

    It was at this critical moment that the cavalry company avoided the tragedy of annihilation of the entire army.

    Wang Wensheng, Li Debiao and others who survived the desperate situation hugged each other and cried. Death is not terrible, but if you can live, no one will refuse, right?  When they cry, is it not in memory of their fallen comrades?

    The cavalry company here was lucky to have escaped death, but Babuzabu, who was experienced in combat, also made a decision based on the battlefield situation that was absolutely correct in theory but completely wrong in fact: charge.

    Babuzabu believes that his defense line is wide but thin. If this team is as fierce as the cavalry company, the opponent can twist into a rope and be able to break through any of his defense lines.  The morale of the cavalry company, which had already been beaten down, was to be allowed to charge again with this seemingly large number of troops, and the entire defense line would collapse.

    The opponent has a larger number of people, only three to five hundred people. In comparison, he still has a numerical advantage.  Only by counter-charging can we win with superior numbers.  In this way, with a whistle blowing, thousands of bandit troops came towards the special operations brigade with their horses and swords waving.

    Tan Hai¡¯s troops are not good at fighting on horseback. For him, horses are just a transportation tool and carrier.  One of the characteristics of the special operations brigade is the flexibility of individual soldiers, and the other is the flexibility of individual soldiers.?Great firepower.

    Unlike the Guard Brigade and the 27th Division Infantry Regiment, which add a machine gun company, the special operations brigade does not have a machine gun company, but disperses the machine guns in each squad.  The traditional configuration of a regiment-affiliated machine gun company is 6 machine guns.  The special operations group has one rifle per squad, and a battalion-organized special warfare group has 27 rifles, more than twice as many as the regular army.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, the regular army's battalion units can receive fire support from the regiment's mountain artillery, but the special operations brigade does not have this treatment.  Fortunately, the special operations brigade was not established to attack difficulties, so it doesn't matter under normal circumstances.

    Now, a large number of enemy cavalry are coming, and the time has come to show the firepower of the special operations brigade.

    Under the command of Tan Hai, the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade dismounted one after another to find support positions.  Twenty-seven machine guns were placed every fifty meters, and the three layers behind the sudden response were densely packed, with long and short guns mixed in, waiting for the arrival of the bandits.

    On the European battlefield, the configuration of ten heavy machine guns per kilometer was already considered astonishing at the time. The density of the special operations brigade was twice as high. Such firepower was the nemesis of intensive charges, especially against cavalry.

    Fighting against the sky and the ground, the flags covered the setting sun.  Thousands of cavalrymen made the earthquake sound all over the sky.  The bandit army was suppressed by a series of raids by the cavalry company, and it was only now that they recovered.  The bandit army, which restored the original characteristics of the Mongolian knights, showed off the style of the grassland athletes. They did everything from mounting to sprinting in one go, with melodious and spectacular movements.

    "Fire!" Following Tan Hai's order, twenty-seven machine guns spurted out tongues of fire at the same time.  The first platoon performs fire suppression, with two pairs of machine guns firing cross-fire; the second platoon intermittently looks for the opponent's aggressive attack to reduce the pressure on the first platoon; and the third platoon focuses on taking care of the rangers who escape the fire net.  Suddenly, the defense line about half a mile long was a sea of ??fire.

    People were on their backs and their horses were on their backs, screams and neighs were heard. The bandits who were at the front were beaten into a sieve, including their men and horses. When they fell to the ground, bursts of dust were thrown up.  Some of the cavalrymen behind were caught off guard and were blocked by dead horses and corpses. Some were tripped too late and were not knocked down by machine guns, but were thrown and suffered heavy casualties.

    On both sides of the machine gun, the officers and soldiers of the special operations brigade stood with their upper bodies straight. They raised their spears and shot at the cavalry who crossed the machine gun line as calmly as if they were shooting targets.  Due to the speed of the horses, many rebels had been killed, but they were still dragged forward by Crazy Horse until they both lay down together with the horses.

    Babuzabu, who originally wanted to use his saber to compete with the special forces brigade on horseback, encountered an opponent who did not follow conventional tactics, and the cavalry team suffered heavy casualties.  The saber-wielding bandit troops were unable to penetrate the defense line of the special operations brigade, which was composed of intensive firepower. In an instant, at least more than 500 people were injured or killed.

    The Babuzabu bandit army, who were still indulging in the invincibility of Genghis Khan's cavalry, was stunned in front of the bloody facts. They didn't know that with the popularization of heavy machine guns in the army, the intensive charge in horizontal lines was no longer appropriate.  Just a few days later, in a battle on the Somme River in Europe, more than 700,000 British and French troops were killed by heavy machine guns, which were known as the "King of Land Warfare" in World War I.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
