After two o'clock in the morning, the military camp in the west of Ust-Kamen city.
While sleeping in a daze, An Yi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a vague roar. Suddenly he stood up from the bed and stood up. Shen Fengdao had already opened the door and walked into the room alertly. An Yi nodded to him. He nodded and listened. At this time, the guards had all gotten up and came to An Yi's room. They took out the pistols in the holsters on their waists and listened carefully.
"Boom boom——"
The sound became louder and clearer.
"簌簌——"
Inside the tent, the racks hanging clothes began to shake, and the ground shook violently.
An Yi and Shen Fengdao looked at each other, quickly tilted their heads and lay on the ground with their ears tilted.
"Dong dong——"
A huge and clear sound suddenly poured into the ears of the two of them. The huge vibration made people's hearts tremble.
"Earthquake?" An Yi blurted out.
"It doesn't look like that!"
Shen Fengdao shook his head, and then said with some uncertainty: "It's like the sound of cattle, horses or animals running, for example -"
Before Shen Fengdao could finish his words, the "boom boom" sound was so loud that it was deafening, and the ground shook more and more violently. Then, the bed board in An Yi's room also began to shake.
"cavalry!"
An Yi and Shen Fengdao exclaimed almost at the same time.
Yes, it must be the cavalry! Although I had many experiences fighting cavalry during the Northern Expedition and the confrontation with the Japanese army, I had never encountered a cavalry of this size before, so I had never attacked the cavalry before. think.
The alarm sounded in the military camp, "Gather! Meet the enemy!" The officers on duty outside began to shout loudly.
An Yi straightened his clothes, walked out of the room with Shen Fengdao, walked through the long corridor, and came to the playground outside. What he saw in front of him made An Yi very happy. The soldiers did not panic and run around. They were lining up to gather, and then Under the leadership of the officers, they quickly drove out of the camp and went to the trenches dug in advance around the barracks to meet the enemy.
Many school officers yelled loudly. Although many soldiers were hurriedly looking for the soldiers in their own team, these soldiers were holding on to the weapons in their hands tightly while looking panicked. Seeing this situation, An Yi was deeply moved. He took a breath, jumped onto a troop truck, and said loudly:
"Brothers, I am An Yi! I now order all regiment, battalion, and company cadres to immediately take your people to the trenches closest to you! The Soviet cavalry is coming! We must make those who think they are The Slavs, who would be invincible if they had four more legs, understand that we Chinese are invincible! Let those self-righteous Soviets have a taste of the power of the Anjia Army and tell them that this is not 1900!"
Amidst the spirited roars of the officers and soldiers, the noisy camp began to get busy in an orderly manner.
After jumping out of the truck, An Yi saw Hu Jiyang coming in a hurry and asked, "What's going on? How come we don't know anything about it when the enemy is right under our noses?"
Hu Jiyang looked ashamed: "We don't know what's going on. There is a division of the 10th Army stationed in the city of Kokpikti at the northern foot of the Kalba Mountains south of Ust-Kamen and the Chinggistau Mountains. There is also a division in the area around Sangbo, so this situation should not happen. Further information needs to be captured to verify!"
An Yi nodded: "Are the defenses around the camp strong? Are the troops strong enough?"
Hu Jiyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that An Yi had no intention of blaming him: "I have ordered Liu Yu to notify Wang Yu and ask him to rush to the rescue with his direct guard troops. Now that we have a division stationed in the camp, there should be no big problem!"
Listening to the huge sound of horse hooves that was getting closer and shaking people's hearts, An Yi frowned: "Listening to this sound, the enemy is no less than one cavalry corps, maybe even two cavalry corps. Are you really sure?"
Hu Jiyang said confidently: "The terrain of Ust-Kamen is special. An Irtysh River divides the entire city into two halves, so we can only station troops on the east and west banks. In response to this situation, we have built extremely strong defenses on the east and west banks.
Strong fortifications are to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing through secret passages unknown to us and cutting us off, thereby threatening the safety of the Irtysh River Bridge."
An Yi nodded slightly after hearing this: "Okay, I haven't been to the battlefield for a long time. Let's go and see the situation."
"yes!"
Hu Jiyang turned around and followed him. Not long after, Liu Yu arrived with five or six staff officers and told Hu Jiyang that he had been notified and that the guards would soon arrive for reinforcements.
"Dong dong——"
A 20mm machine gun was hidden behind a civil bunker, with only half of the barrel exposed. The double-barreled 20mm cannon was desperately spitting fireballs the size of ping pong balls into the darkness in the distance.
"Boom boom——"
The sound became louder and louder. When An Yi entered the trench, he clearly saw the soldiers who were hiding in the trench and shooting into the night. They were all frightened by the huge and soul-stirring sound. Several soldiers were trembling.
He let out a loud roar, trying to vent the fear in his heart while firing.
Facing the Soviet cavalry approaching quickly in the darkness in the distance, An Yi also felt an obvious fright, turned around and asked, "Why didn't you use flares?"
Hu Jiyang said: "Wait until the enemy steps on the landmine and launch it. If you launch it in advance, the enemy will be invisible in the night, but we will be exposed to the opponent's firepower. The gain outweighs the loss!"
"good!"
An Yi nodded appreciatively, and just as he was about to say a few words of praise, he heard a violent explosion. In the bright and flickering light of the explosion, dense black shadows could be seen flying into the sky and turning into fragments.
The explosions sounded one after another, getting closer and closer.
The Soviet commander was so cruel that he did not hesitate at all and allowed the charging cavalry to use their living flesh to break open a path of flesh and blood.
Three illumination bombs rushed into the sky at the right time. Under the red light, the sound of gunfire, shouts, and groans of being shot merged into one.
"Bang bang——"
In a blur of blood, the ground suddenly burst into large groups of firelight. Under the glow of the firelight, countless small firelights quickly approached the defensive position.
That was the torch lit by the Soviet cavalry after they learned that the sneak attack had failed!
Once the Soviet cavalry armed with lances rushed into the camp across the trenches, they would not hesitate to pull out the bright sabers hanging next to their saddles and engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat!
In the darkness, the infantry and the cavalry were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. It was a matter of life and death. If the battle situation really developed in that direction, it would be a merciless massacre of the Anjia army by the Soviet cavalry!
An Yi walked into the underground bunker at the corner of the trench. Lieutenant Colonel Liu Changbao, the commander of the 84th Regiment of the 28th Division, was directing the machine gun platoon to fire. Hearing footsteps behind him, he raised his head and saw that it was An Yi.
Yi, surprised and happy, started to fight and prepared to salute, but was stopped by An Yi.
An Yi turned around and said to Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu who were following them: "Immediately pass on my order to turn on the car lights, searchlights, tank headlights... everything that can illuminate the Soviet cavalry, and then point them at the Soviet Union."
The direction of the cavalry charge!”
Liu Yu immediately instructed the communications staff to immediately convey An Yi's order.
An Yi looked around and saw the regiment leader kneeling back to his original position, commanding nine 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns, and firing out from the bunker's firing hole.
An Yi approached the lookout hole of the bunker and looked at the Soviet cavalry approaching quickly with torches under the illumination of flares. He nodded: "Yes, that's it, use firepower to suppress the enemy! Also, tell the soldiers to give them semi-automatic rifles."
Mount the bayonet! Be ready to fight at any time!"
After saying that, he straightened up and strode out of the fortification, only to hear an excited reply from inside the bunker: "I know what to do, Chairman! Even if I am the only one left, I will never let a single soldier pass the position!"
An Yi stopped and said to Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu: "How are you going to direct the battle if you follow me? Go back, I'll look around, Lao Shen and the guards are protecting you, it'll be fine!"
Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu looked at each other, and Hu Jiyang said hesitantly: "But -"
"It's nothing to worry about. There are strong winds and waves. I don't believe that I will stumble here today! Leave me a communications officer. If I need it, I can contact you through the walkie-talkie at any time! Go ahead!"
"yes!"
Seeing that An Yi was very resolute, Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu did not insist and followed the order.
An Yi and his men continued to move forward and came to a deeper trench. A few meters away, a battalion commander was directing the erection of mortars. Six 81mm mortars and twelve 60mm caliber mortars.
The artillery was quickly set up, and the battalion commander simply announced a series of numbers. The mortars sprayed out streams of flames, and aimed at the attacking Soviet cavalry with a burst of rapid artillery fire.
Cannonballs exploded among the cavalry, and from time to time someone fell off their horse amidst screams.
"Well played!"
An Yi's voice of encouragement woke up the soldiers of the artillery battery. Through the light of the illumination bomb above their heads, they clearly saw that it was An Yi. They all hurriedly prepared to salute. An Yi walked up and said: "Leave me alone, it's important to kill the enemy!"
Your artillery is known as the God of War and hopes to play a key role in the war."
The battalion commander and the gunners nodded in agreement. An Yi did not stop and continued to move forward. The sound of intensive shelling came from behind again.
In the trenches, the explosions of various firearms formed a grand symphony. Countless shining tongues of flames sprayed out from the trenches, among which there were less than an inch of tongues of flames sprayed out by semi-automatic rifles (with the characteristics of
flame suppression function), and also has a terrifying nearly foot-long flame from the 20mm machine gun.
The Soviet cavalry was like a torrent, and the Anjia Army's position was like a solid embankment. The torrent hit the embankment and was shattered to pieces. The Soviet cavalry also seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall five meters in front of the position.
More than ten meters away, pieces fell in pieces, and in a blink of an eye, the corpses of people and horses were piled one or two meters high.
