    After mobilizing for the battle, Zhang Zongchang silently threw up a copper plate and muttered: "Good luck to you!"

    Whether or not this battle can be won will determine the future of this army, as well as its own status in the Feng Faction, especially whether the Young Warriors faction headed by Zhang Hanqing will accept them. It depends on now.

    The copper plate formed a parabola in the air and slowly fell to the ground. After bouncing for a while, it lay quietly on the ground, revealing two patterns of rice ears.  Zhang Zongchang looked at it nervously, then jumped up with a big smile and said loudly: "Okay, attack!"

    Thousands of horses galloped, and thousands of cavalry made "ho-ho" sounds at the same time, turning the sand into a battlefield, and the wind in the Gobi was covered up by people shouting and neighing.  There are over a thousand cavalry, boundless, and the momentum of one horse is enough to equal that of several fully armed soldiers.

    The first regiment led by the Belarusian officer Rokin was the main force on the frontal battlefield.  Luo Jin was Zhang Zongchang's most proud battlefield killer. He fought bravely and became stronger when faced with a strong enemy. He often tore apart Huzi's camp and made many contributions to the breakthrough of subsequent troops.

    Cavalry battles have always focused on encirclement in the shape of a wild goose. In this way, as long as they break through all the way, the friendly forces next to them will quickly use rapid penetration to disconnect the opponent's front line, and then depending on the situation, the larger number will win locally.  If the opponent does not fight, it basically just allows the cavalry to take advantage of mobility, and a major defeat is not far away.

    But Zhang Zongchang did the opposite today. He used a small temporary third group to suppress the two wings, focusing on Luo Jin's breakthrough.  Behind them was the second regiment led by Molchanov, who also followed the idea of ??a central breakthrough.  This style of play that ignores both sides and only focuses on the middle is extremely adventurous: once the center fails to break through the enemy's defense line immediately, and one's own wings are suppressed, it will immediately fall into the opponent's encirclement and fall into a bitter battle.

    This is a one-shot deal, if you win, you will win big, if you lose, you will lose big.

    If we say the biggest difference between this cavalry battle and Zhang Hanqing¡¯s Guard Brigade¡¯s battle to suppress bandits four years ago, it is that the People¡¯s Army cavalry units are generally equipped with new carbines.  After all, the era of hot weapons is coming. If the cavalry does not have its own assault firepower, it will be a dead end when facing heavy infantry.  No matter how maneuverable it is, it can't be faster than bullets!

    Although Zhang Zongchang's troops do not belong to any Fengtian Dajia, due to the leap-forward ability of Shenyang Arsenal, the new carbine of the infantry division's cavalry regiment in each organization was completed in a very short period of time. This obsolete old carbine  , I am still willing to give it to the provincial garrison troops and miscellaneous armies.

    Zhang Zongchang does not dislike the old and the new. According to his experience in Beijing, in terms of accuracy, power or convenience, even the old-style carbine of the Feng dynasty is better than what was originally equipped by the Zhizhi and Anhui dynasties.

    This is due to the Fengtian¡¯s large investment in weapons manufacturing.  Why did the Fengjun army suddenly rise to prominence in just a few years and quickly become a force that made both the Japanese and Russians fearful?

    With enough soldiers, good discipline, diligent training, and powerful weapons, how can we not improve our combat effectiveness?

    Anyway, in terms of cavalry firepower, Zhang Zongchang's army is definitely not weaker than the Asian Cavalry Division.  The numbers of both sides are roughly the same. Apart from slightly different tactics, the competition is about whose perseverance and will are better.

    At a distance of two hundred meters, both sides fired at the same time.  Bullets were flying on the ground for several kilometers in front, and all the riders hugged their horses to avoid possible damage.  However, the more important thing than dodging is to get closer to the opponent faster. Otherwise, even if you are not hit by random shots, if the horse underneath you is injured and falls to the ground, the impact of this speed will at least seriously injure the rider, let alone  The basic fate of a rider who lands is to be crushed by the hooves of either horse!

    Precisely because shooting people and horses basically has the same effect, the carbine is very powerful even though it has a short range, because it can also fire continuously. It is also called a carbine | gun - there is no way, sprinting in a short distance, if it is like a traditional  It is inconvenient and misses opportunities to fire a rifle and pull the bolt once. Within a range of 200 meters, the reaction time is only ten or twenty seconds, which is basically a one-time use.  Considering the primary reason, I'm afraid it's not much more useful than the saber.

    This is one of the reasons why cavalry battles come and go quickly.  It can shoot a large number of bullets in a short period of time without having to aim accurately. Just the bullets whizzing towards the sky can put heavy psychological pressure on people.  Usually after one bullet is dropped, the battle is basically resolved.  As for the saber, it is just a supplement to show a man's prowess at close range.

    Since using dense machine guns to engage in a near-massacre-like confrontation with the Babuzabu bandit cavalry, and with the popularity of the Fengjun carbine, the Fengjun cavalry has given up on the tactics of using cold weapons to engage in large-scale armed battles - hot  |In the age of weapons, horseback fighting, which reflects men's bravery, is basically no longer the main thing.?The tactics demanded it.

    No matter how strong the arm is, a warrior can be killed with one shot.

    "The Asian Cavalry Division is far behind the times. They are still stuck to the traditional invincible tactics of the Cossack cavalry. They want to have a battle with the Chinese army in a balance of power that is favorable to them.

    In fact, the most important thing is that the Fengjun troops are not short of money, especially in the configuration of life-threatening firepower, Zhang Hanqing is willing to invest.  Carbine guns are just a handful. On the surface, they cost a lot more bullets than rifles. However, in a cavalry confrontation, proactive fire suppression can save many lives. No matter how you calculate it, this is a good deal.

    After basically dumping the bullets in the gun chamber, the two sides were close, and some people had already lost their bodies, and there was no time to change the magazine.  At this time, the well-trained training of Zhang Zongchang's army was also reflected: they resolutely threw away their smoking carbines, drew their sabers, and rushed towards the sparse opponent's camp.

    That¡¯s right, the cavalrymen in front of the Asian Cavalry Division were almost stunned by this rain of rapid fire.  I wonder how many people were shot and killed, hundreds or thousands?  Anyway, the excitement that was just there was suddenly extinguished.

    But when faced with the shining sabers of the Chinese army, their bloodiness was also aroused, regardless of the countless fallen comrades around them.  Fengjun's firepower just now was too fierce, and it was a fluke that they were not killed.

    But as long as they don't die, they all believe that victory will belong to them.  As long as they meet at close range, countless opponents will flee, as history has proven.

    Fighting nations have martial genes in their blood. The Cossack cavalry is invincible in Central Asia. They even broke into the tent of the once invincible Mongols.  In terms of diet, they eat bread and butter, which is generally higher in nutrients than the Chinese. They are tall and strong, and have the upper hand in physical strength.  In this life-and-death confrontation, they had the advantage, as long as the Chinese did not use carbines but dueled gentlemanly.

    Now it is no longer possible to make cold shots.  Countless sabers were raised, and the two groups of men and horses were entangled.  The Cossack cavalry on both wings looked at the layers of people on the one-mile-long battle line in the middle in surprise. All they heard were the collision of steel, the neighing of war horses, the angry shouts of soldiers, and the groans of the wounded.

    The Belarusian bandits were tall and physically superior, but they suffered heavy casualties due to the previous fire attack.  In addition, the Northeast Mixed Brigade used its main force to bloom in the center, so both sides also dispatched a regiment. Zhang Zongchang's number of people per unit area was much larger, forming a situation where more people fought less.  Soon, the vanguard cavalry regiment of the White Army was in danger of being eaten up by the force.

    "They are not humans, they are devils!" Baron Wen Ganlun looked at the performance of the Chinese army on the opposite side in surprise. Where did this cavalry unit come from?  So fierce and able to fight!  His elite cavalry regiment was severely damaged in almost a few minutes, and he had not had time to mobilize the supporting troops on both wings!

    The injured and ownerless horses were neighing, and the dead were long gone. The wailing of the wounded, the occasional knocks of horses and sporadic gunshots on the battlefield told people that the battle just now was over.

    In the first battle, the Asian Cavalry Division was defeated!

    Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side gathering for the second time, Wen Ganlun knew he could not wait any longer.  He still has a second echelon of troops in his hand, which are ready to be used to counter the breakthrough, and now they need to be filled.  Otherwise, the Fengjun army, which is on the verge of a great victory, will eat up its cavalry on the Mongolian grassland until not even the residue is left!

    He made a gesture to Zulexin, who immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to cover the center.

    Zhang Zongchang was unhurried. Although he had fewer people on both wings, his equipment was the same. The firepower of the carbine could completely offset this disadvantage.  His tactical requirement is to continue to break through from the middle, to defeat the main force of the Belarusian bandit army from the front, and to defeat them from the will.  So when he saw the opponent's actions, he did not consider adding more troops to the two wings. Instead, he loudly ordered: "Pyotr Gorbsky, it's your turn! After this battle, I will promote you to colonel!"

    Peter Gorbsky is a master of sneak attacks. Like a wolf, he is good at seizing even the slightest opportunity on the battlefield. His independent cavalry regiment is composed of homeless middle-class Belarusians who are not afraid of death and have a strong desire to fight.  , and have been eager to try it for a long time.  He is the commander-in-chief of Zhang Zongchang's independent cavalry regiment. This unit is also the real elite of the Northeast Mixed Brigade, half of which are Russians.

    Because the two sides were intertwined, the Chinese cavalry company lost the opportunity to continue to use firepower to open the way, but this was not a problem at all for Peter Gorbsky.  Also as a Cossack cavalryman, he expected to defeat the enemy with his saber rather than his carbine.  Although there are many people on the opposite side, this will never make him timid.

    After receiving Zhang Zongchang's order, he quickly issued an order, asking the cavalry of the regiment's five battalions to concentrate their strength and continue to crash into the opponent's center in batches.  As long as a bloody path is created, it means that the opponent will be cut into two pieces, and there will be a decision-making advantage in the subsequent cavalry battle.

    There is not much difference in this confrontation. They have the same culture and race. They are all warriors among the Cossacks, but each has his own master. It is like the epitome of the Russian Civil War.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Cavalry will have a decision-making advantage in combat.
