The originally yellow flat sand was as quiet as a pond of stagnant water. The darker the sky, the more it began to roar in turn. The sand and stones were blown around by the wind, as if they were flying into the nine heavens like a dragon.
In the command car, Li Ningyu's restraints had long been undone. As time passed, the No. 2 convoy successfully rendezvoused with the advance guard force from the Far East backup. However, before everyone could take a breath, the pursuers behind him were unhappy.
It has arrived without delay.
Without any hesitation, Li Ningyu, who had just stepped off the command vehicle, had not had time to ask the advance troops of the guard regiment how many troops they had brought this time. He directly gave the order: "We have them all. Immediately rely on the favorable terrain here.
Launch a comprehensive counterattack!”.
Everyone looked startled, and then loudly replied at the same time: "Yes!".
Next, all the special armored vehicles of the No. 2 convoy, including the assault tanks, rushed directly into the pursuit of the cavalry. With the heavy machine guns of the five special armored vehicles, bursts of fire were fired, and the pursuit of the cavalry was immediately killed in a chaos.
, and the advance troops of the Guard Regiment immediately began to prepare a new defensive blocking position with the remaining troops of the No. 2 convoy.
After the combat orders began to be executed, Li Ningyu returned to the command vehicle and chatted seriously with the commander of the advance force of the guard regiment: "How many troops did you bring this time?".
"Report to Mr. Yu, because there are not a large number of transport vehicles, so there are only two companies!" After saying this, the young guard officer lowered his head in embarrassment.
But Li Ningyu didn't have the time to blame him for this, and then he thought for a moment and said to him: "Let's do this, you will take all the vehicles back immediately and try to transport the rest of the people over as quickly as possible. If it doesn't work once, just do it twice.
But you must be quick, the enemies will come back in greater numbers soon!”.
"Yes!" After receiving the new mission assigned by Li Ningyu, the young guard officer saluted and ran away quickly.
In the next period of time, Li Ningyu was really busy. While arranging the details of the battle, he also had to discuss the next details with the combat staff from time to time. Fortunately, with the addition of two companies, he reluctantly contacted the Far East
The remaining troops of the No. 2 convoy formed an integrated army battalion.
However, the enemy is cavalry, so normal longitudinal defense and blocking fortifications are completely useless. Normal blocking fortifications will have bunkers, trenches, firearm holders and other configurations. Because this is a temporary blocking position, it is not equipped with hidden trenches, traffic trenches, etc.
Not to mention bunkers and temporary headquarters, even the famous Maginot Line in France was bypassed in the end and did not achieve maximum effectiveness.
However, it is still possible to reduce casualties and hinder the enemy's attack in defensive battles. However, there are not many favorable terrains, so the fortifications built are mainly shooting fortifications and some covering fortifications. Li Ningyu still conducts command operations from the command vehicle, and
The command vehicle is blocked on three sides by military jeeps, whose main function is to cover the command vehicle.
As time went by, more and more cavalry came in pursuit. After half an hour of fighting, there were already more than one battalion. Fortunately, the Far East Army also had five special armored vehicles as the charging commandos.
, which brought a lot of obstacles to the cavalry's offensive.
Li Ningyu, who was sitting in the command vehicle, had also contacted Tie Bing, the commander of the No. 1 convoy. Through a burst of radio communication, Li Ningyu had a general understanding of the situation on the Tie Bing's side. However, the original strategic intention of enveloping him on both sides was not fulfilled.
It is no longer possible to realize this because the No. 1 convoy suffered a lot of damage when it broke out of the encirclement. In the pursuit of the enemy's two battalions of cavalry, the combat and non-combat attrition was as high as 600 people. Currently, there are less than 300 soldiers capable of fighting.
people.
After knowing the situation, Li Ningyu immediately made a change and ordered the iron soldiers to continue marching to the border city of Oshela. If they met with the troops of the Kingdom of Hijaz, he sent a telegram to him, and then turned around and began to consider how to solve the problem.
What happened to the group of cavalry in front of me.
Historically, the history of humans learning to ride horses can be traced back to a long time ago. The Chinese nation had cavalry around BC. However, at that time, cavalry was not popular in war. Whether it was for impact missions or as an attack platform, it was mainly used by
Chariot to complete.
However, horses still made a great contribution to the war at that time, but they were mainly limited to the role of pulling chariots. However, the main shortcomings of chariots gradually became apparent. After all, the production cost of chariots and the requirements on the ground were very high.
With the development of cavalry, its status began to be gradually reduced, which eventually led to the choice of cavalry in wars. However, before BC, cavalry still did not receive much attention as the main arm.
In the history of China, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cavalry appeared in the army as a main force, but the cavalry also imitated the Huns. Therefore, the first people in the world to use cavalry in combat were the Huns. In the West, it was in the 5th century
Horseback riding was the main method of combat. In the early days, horses were more commonly used to carry soldiers to the battlefield.
With the emergence of high-quality muskets and bayonets after the Industrial Revolution, the cavalry gradually lost its original main military status due to its large size and easy targeting. Among European countries in the 18th century, only Poland
The Tatars have light cavalry, which once again gained a high reputation for their assault.
However, the reborn Li Ningyu knew that before and after the First World War, with the widespread popularization of infantry-artillery coordination tactics and automatic firepower in various countries, coupled with the army's superb use of trench tactics, the cavalry had begun to appear on the stage of history, especially
After the Far East Legion's special armored vehicles entered the battlefield, the original traditional cavalry, which relied solely on impact operations, had lost its main purpose and was facing elimination.
The cavalry force is the predecessor of the motorized force. The mounted infantry should only be used by the second-line rapid reaction force and reconnaissance force. As one of the world's major military powers, Poland, the cavalry originally equipped was only responsible for helping the front line transport artillery.
, as well as heavy machine guns, ammunition and other supplies, but compared with cars with excellent transportation capabilities, there is still a long way to go.
Therefore, the real attack power of the cavalry is not as strong as that of the infantry. The accuracy of shooting on horseback is really poor, but it has very athletic ability. However, if you want to cause greater damage to the Far East Army, you still need to dismount to fight, unless
There is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides. The cavalry can use high-speed and multi-faceted group charges to attack the infantry positions.
