More than 600 Soviet cavalrymen rode on tall horses. They carried Budyonny military packs, sabers on their waists, and even three-meter-long spears with a red flag tied to one end.
At first glance, they look like hussars from more than a hundred years ago. The rifles carried behind each soldier prove that they are already a modern army.
Nowadays, the only role of cavalry is to move at high speed and sneak attack on the enemy. Riders dismounting to fight as infantry has become the main combat state of today's cavalry.
As a man with a dream of riding a horse, Warmansky admired the bohemian riding life of the Dnieper River Cossacks, especially as a cavalryman, even in battle, they still had to form a wall and sweep across the enemy's camp.
After receiving Yang Mingzhi's order, their worries disappeared.
The position of the German transport team was four kilometers away from the cavalry camp. When the cavalry quietly reached the target location, it was already 7:30 in the morning.
Two scouts on horseback, their horses tied to the tree trunks, lay in the grass and closely observed the abnormalities in the enemy camp not far away.
After all, it was already half past seven. As more people woke up, the scouts soon discovered that their estimate was wrong. The enemy was not a hundred people at all, they were at least four hundred!
The enemies were all wearing German-made steel helmets, but some people's clothes were gray and some were black. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, anyone wearing a classic German-made steel helmet was a German soldier, and the fire of hatred in their hearts was immediately suppressed.
ignite.
Little Warmansky led his troops to the forest closest to the enemy. He ordered all the riders to dismount and let the tired horses rest. At the same time, each soldier also made some final rest before the battle.
At this time, the remaining scouts returned.
As soon as the two men returned to the team, they reported the important discovery straight to the point: "Report to the battalion commander! Something is wrong with the German army. They are not a hundred people, but probably five hundred."
"What?! Five hundred people?!" Womansky's eyes widened, "Are you sure?!"
"We're pretty sure, maybe you should go see for yourself."
"Take me there quickly!"
Warmansky was nervous all of a sudden. If the enemy's strength was equal to his own, the next battle would be really tricky. He almost crawled to the edge of the woods with the scouts. He raised a high-powered telescope and took a look, and he did see the area.
It's not a small camp. There is smoke from the cooking stoves. A group of people with German helmets on their heads are cooking breakfast. There are also many limping people walking around. If you look closely, you can see that those people with sloping feet are all tied with heavy clothes.
Less white bandages.
Little Warmansky was secretly happy: "Haha, this time I encountered the German wounded convoy."
The wounded had little combat effectiveness, so they could simply be ignored. In this way, Warmansky regained his confidence. He knew that he should take action immediately. If the enemy had finished eating, it would be difficult for him to launch a surprise attack.
He hurried back, quickly mounted his horse, and also ordered all the resting riders to mount their horses.
He gathered the team, drew his saber and said to everyone: "Brothers! We discovered the enemy's wounded transport team. The enemy's number is not one hundred, I estimate there are five hundred! These wounded must have been with our army yesterday.
The German troops at war are lucky enough for us to encounter them today, and this is the day they will die. Now, draw your sabers."
In an instant, the entire rest camp heard the sound of sharp metal friction. More than 600 cavalrymen raised their sabers or lances high, which was really a cold light.
Looking at the high-spirited eyes of his subordinates, Little Warmansky straightened his military cap, turned his horse's head and raised his saber high.
"Brothers, follow me and move forward!"
More than 600 horsemen formed a wide V-shaped formation in the forest, and Womansky was naturally in the lead.
All the horses first walked quickly in the forest, and then started to accelerate after leaving the forest!
The distance from the woods to the German camp was nearly one thousand meters. The Soviet cavalry began to accelerate after rushing out of the forest. At the speed of the horses, it often took less than two minutes to cover one thousand meters.
In just two minutes, no matter which country's soldiers they are, only the most elite troops can enter combat status in such a short period of time.
To make matters worse, when the Soviet cavalry appeared, some puppet soldiers did not notice it until they saw a group of cavalry suddenly coming out from the west.
The first reaction of many people was to freeze on the spot. After a pause for a few seconds, they threw away the tea cups in their hands and hurried into their respective tents to find their guns.
If they were real German troops, perhaps the blockade would have started a few seconds after the Soviet cavalry appeared. Unfortunately, this was a group of puppet troops with poor equipment and low fighting will.
It was not until the cavalry rushed to their side that some people launched a counterattack, but it was too late.
Little Warmansky raised his saber high and shouted: "Brothers, form a fence and kill them!"
The war seemed to have returned to ancient times. The light cavalry formed a wall and collided with the enemy's light infantry. The heavy horses rushed over at a high speed of nearly fifty kilometers. After being hit like this, they were knocked unconscious. Even worse, they fainted to the ground and were hit by subsequent attacks.
The cavalry's iron horseshoes trampled them, and their bones were easily broken.
The cavalry wielded their sabers and slashed at any enemy they could cut down. The quality of these sabers made by the arsenal was not good, and many cavalrymen had curled blades after several chops. Fortunately, even with sticks, they could ride at high speeds.
The maneuverable horse slams into the enemy, basically knocking the enemy unconscious.
The wall riding is like a tsunami, sweeping across the enemy's camp. After the first wall riding, there is the second wall riding, and they specialize in killing fish that slip through the net. By the third wall riding, there are only a few enemies left.
Almost all the tents were overturned, and a large number of people with bare backs were directly hacked to death or directly pierced with spears. Even crazier, some cavalry were equipped with submachine guns. After curling their sabers, like this
The soldier threw away his knife, stepped on his stirrup, and started shooting wildly while holding the gun sand.
Just like after combing through the enemy camp, Warmansky Jr. did not let any enemy go. The cavalry encountered some resistance, and at least twenty riders fell off their horses, but it still took the cavalry ten minutes to solve it.
All the fighting.
They hacked and stabbed more than 200 people to death immediately, and the rest were a large group of people who threw away their guns and knelt on the ground with their hands raised. It was the sudden surrender of most of the enemies that made the battle end so quickly.
Hurry.
Many of the enemies were still wearing white shirts, and some even had no shoes on. They were herded together, waiting for an unknown fate. Little Warmansky remembered that the commander's order was to attack the German transport convoy and not kill anyone alive, and now he actually arrested him
There were a lot of people. After some counting, the number actually exceeded 500!
Such a crazy thing actually happened! Womansky said with emotion that he had made a great contribution to the commander this time.
So how to get rid of this group of people is of course to execute military orders.
The so-called order was that the Germans would cut off the Achilles tendons directly, and all traitors would be shot. Most of the enemies Womanski saw were wearing German steel helmets, and he estimated that these people were Germans.
However, a few noisy prisoners made his anger reach the extreme.
