Chapter 515 The Battle of Muling River (11)
Two "boom" sounds, two Russian cavalry and warrior armored vehicles collided head-on. One warrior was hit and made a series of long neighs. He took several steps backwards, then fell to the ground and tripped two warriors. The Russian cavalry on the horse was even more hit and flew backwards, hitting a cavalry behind him and knocking him off the horse; the other warrior was hit forward and fell head-on on the front cover of the warrior armored vehicles, and then slid down from the side. The Russian cavalry even hit the steel plate of the front window of the car and rolled down from the front cover.
The Warrior armored vehicle was just hit and slowed down, and then continued to move forward and rolled past the Russian cavalry. It can be said that this collision ended with the complete victory of the Warrior armored vehicle. The Russian cavalry and the horses were only 6,700 kilograms, while a Warrior armored vehicle and the onboard personnel had a total weight of more than 6 tons. The two sides were not at the same level of weight at all, so the result of the impact was naturally conceivable.
Of course, the violent impact and the passing of a Russian soldier also made the people in the car feel a huge vibration. Fortunately, the driver Peng Yanwu steadily grasped the steering wheel and the brakes were slowed down at the extreme, so the warrior did not lose control.
At this moment, a series of metal collision sounds came from both sides of the warrior car. The original Russian cavalry close to the warrior car waved their sabers and slashed them randomly. However, like bullets, not only did they fail to cause any damage to the warrior car, but many Russian soldiers were shocked by the recoil force and their fingers were sore and numb. Some of the sabers were even broken or lost. Of course, several cavalry still hit the warrior car.
Xiao Yingpeng confirmed the situation of the other two warriors. Although they had also collided with the Russian cavalry, they also overturned the Russian cavalry without exception. The warriors were safe and sound, and they also stabilized the body of the car, so they were relieved. In fact, Xiao Yingpeng also knew the huge gap between the warriors and the cavalry, mainly because he was worried that the body would lose control after the impact. In fact, the warriors' body was wider, the center of gravity was low, and the speed was not fast at this time. In addition, the driver also had rich experience and could control the body steadily.
Xiao Yingpeng asked the other two warriors to maintain a good team with him, and then manipulated the roof machine gun, rotated the angle, and continued to shoot at the Russian cavalry. Huang Tao also gave up the machine gun in front of the car and used a 95 rifle to shoot outward from the shooting hole in the side window. At this time, the Russian cavalry showed extraordinary courage, and they all rode their horses to chase the warriors and slashed their swords. Although this was basically meaningless, no matter whether it was the machine gun on the roof or the 95 rifle shot from the side window, they were almost completely fired. Every time they shot, they would hit, and Russian soldiers kept falling from the warriors or falling to the ground.
The three warriors were like three monsters. Although they were besieged by the Russian cavalry, they remained unmoved. Wherever they went, all the Russian cavalry were overturned, either dead or injured. After only more than 10 minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Russian cavalry lost more than half, and only more than 60 cavalry were left before the war. On the one hand, the combat effectiveness of these three warriors was indeed strong, and on the other hand, it was related to the courage of the Russian cavalry. It was the Russian cavalry's subsequent attack without considering life and death. Although it was commendable, it was also brave but not resourceful, giving the People's Army a lot of heads.
At this time, the remaining Russian cavalry finally couldn't support it and began to retreat. The three warriors did not chase after them. They just fired machine guns from a distance for a while, killing more than 10 Russian cavalry.
It turned out that Xiao Yingpeng received an order from the commander of the armored forces Ouyang Wen, asking their team to rush to join and launch a full-scale attack on the Russian cavalry. The battle just now must not be too tentative, mainly to see how great the advantage of the warrior chariot over the cavalry, and the combat situation on the other side was similar. The three warrior chariots had almost an overwhelming advantage over the Russian cavalry in a company. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the advantage of the warrior chariots over the cavalry was quite large, so Ouyang Wen also decided to concentrate all 9 warrior chariots and launch a full-scale attack on the Russian army.
After sending two companies of troops to fight the warriors on both sides, Baumghaldan also rode his horse up a small earth slope to watch the battles on both sides. The result of the battle also surprised Baumghaldan. What kind of weapon was used by the People's Army? It was so powerful that the cavalry he sent was almost no chance of winning. Now the three chariots on the left and right of the opponent were leaning towards the middle, and three more chariots appeared in the middle, increasing the number of chariots to 9, and the opponent's cavalry was also gathering behind the chariots, which was obviously a comprehensive war with the Russian army.
Should the Russian army be in the battle now? Baumghaldan hesitated and fought. To be honest, Baumghaldan does not have much basic potential. After all, judging from the battle situation on both sides just now, the advantages of these strange cars of the People's Army are quite large. Although the Russian army does not invest much troops, this is not a question of how many troops it is. In this era, wars cannot be won by pushing people. However, if they retreat like this, Baumghaldan is a little unwilling to accept it. Bi Jing's battle this time was the result of his strong demand. He retreated in such a grim manner, not only could he not be able to get over it, but he could not raise his head in front of Morozov.
What's more, the People's Army has set up its own formation now, and it is not something that the Russian army can retreat, because once the People's Army pursues it later, it is likely to cause major casualties to the Russian army. Therefore, Baumghaldan had several thoughts in his mind and finally made up his mind to fight with the People's Army.
After making up his mind, Baumghaldan did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Russian cavalry to line up and prepare for battle. In fact, the Russian cavalry maintained a neat array at this time, so there was no need to make too many adjustments. The Russian cavalry spread horizontally for more than 200 meters in battalions and a depth of about 150 meters, advancing towards the direction of the People's Army.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 1,000 meters. The nine warriors of the People's Army were arranged in three "哥"-shaped arrays, spreading horizontally about 150 meters, advancing at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. The cavalry of the People's Army was about 50 meters behind and followed behind. The spread width was about 200 meters, which was about the same width as the Russian army, but the depth was obviously much shallower, not 100 meters.
Although it was within the range of the roof of the MWS car at 1,000 meters, the MWS car did not fire. It turned out that Ouyang Wen wanted to narrow the distance to the range of the machine gun in front of the vehicle before firing. This not only ensures that the firepower strike is stronger, but also, after the distance is closer, the Russian army will not easily retreat.
At this time, Ouyang Wenji released a small four-axis rotor drone at an altitude of more than 500 meters and transmitted the shots to the computer on board. From the air, it was very clear that two huge square arrays were moving towards each other, constantly approaching.
The distance between the two sides was closer to within 500 meters, and the speed of the Mengscar was increased to 30 kilometers per hour. The cavalry of the People's Army also rode his horse and trotted when he drove. Ouyang Wen nodded, picked up the intercom and said, "Please take care of each car, start fire."
With this order, the roof machine guns of the nine warriors and the machine guns in front of the car fired together, and various bullets shot towards the Russian cavalry like raindrops. In the array of the Russian cavalry, they were suddenly hit hard. The Russian cavalry rushing in the front row were almost unavoidable. They all fell on their backs and tripped many companions behind them. For a moment, the troops fell to the ground, screamed and whine suddenly sounded.
However, at this time, the Russian cavalry did not retreat. The cavalry in the back accelerated and urged the horses to rush forward. The knights on the horses also consciously bent down to reduce their bombing area. This is actually the cavalry charge technology in the era of cold weapons. Because in the era of cold weapons, even if the European cavalry was not heavily armored cavalry, they would have protective gear on the face and force of the war horses, which had a certain defense against bows and arrows. Therefore, after the knights tightened their bodies on the horses, they could indeed reduce their casualties.
But now is not the era of cold weapons. People and horses do not have protective gear, and the lethality of bullets is far from comparable to bows and arrows. Generally, a war horse can get a few arrows, as long as it is not fatal, it will not be a big deal. However, a 7.62mm bullet is enough to completely lose its ability to move, let alone a 14.5mm large-caliber machine gun bullet. Therefore, whether it is a human or a horse, it will be fired first.
As a result, during the charge, the Russian army lost 4,500 troops. Although after the distance was closer, many Russian soldiers raised their guns and shot at the warrior car, they were basically not damaged. They did not reduce their speed or firepower. Moreover, the speed of the warrior car even increased to 40 kilometers per hour, and they fought head-on with the Russian cavalry.
"Boom boom boom boom boom" The Russian cavalry that collided with the warrior chariot head-on were all knocked away and flew away, but there were still many Russian soldiers urging war horses, waving their sabers, slashing and cutting on the warrior chariot, bravely striking the steel mecha with their flesh and blood. However, although the courage of the Russian cavalry is commendable, the result of the tragedy cannot be changed. The contest between the steel giant beast and the flesh and blood body is no suspense at all, just like surging waves hitting the reefs on the shore. No matter how powerful the waves are, they still cannot escape the ending of scattered splashes, and the reefs are still unmoved.
Nine warriors broke through three open roads in the Russian cavalry array. The Russian cavalry were either knocked away or rolled, or hit by machine guns, and could not stop the warriors from advancing.
Of course, there were only 9 warrior chariots in the People's Army, and there was still a considerable gap in between. Therefore, many Russian cavalry finally passed by the warrior chariots without any loss. However, the cavalry troops of the People's Army were waiting for their people's army. At this time, the distance between the cavalry troops of the People's Army had exceeded 100 meters, but the war horses were running at full speed. The knights on the horse carried a high sabre and rushed up towards the Russian cavalry who had just escaped the warrior chariot.
