Battle of the Third Reich: The 393rd Cavalry Assault (Part 1)
The French closed their eyes and waited to die, but the next moment did not wait for the imaginary hot bullet. Instead, there was a chaotic noise behind him, which seemed to be mixed with the screams of horses and human wailing.
Julian hurriedly opened his eyes and looked back, only to find that the dense chasing formations behind him had become sparse and messy at this time. Not far behind them, a piece of dust was rolling and yellow sand was flying, and the dust was still there. You can vaguely see several slender horse legs pedaling wildly towards the sky.
Julian didn't know what happened, but he knew that Sand Pirate must be in great trouble. At this moment, he saw this scene as a blessing from God. The French couldn't help but start chanting prayers to express their gratitude.
Although the sand pirates are still closely behind them, it is clear that their attention is no longer on Julian and his party. These sturdy and vicious desperadoes, at this moment, show a panic, no Stopped looking back and looked behind.
Mahneid was also taken aback by the surprise attack he had just encountered, but the leader of the sand thieves who had experienced many battles quickly recovered his calm. Through the dazzling sunlight and dust from the eagle-like eyes, he immediately found the trace of the attacker.
Mahneid filed his molars fiercely. He actually made two mistakes in one day. He thought he was just three simple targets, so that he did not pursue the prey as he did before. Select someone to serve as the guard of the guard.
The sight in front of him once again proved that his previous hunch was correct. This was indeed a trap specifically aimed at him. He fell into the trap of Bashir, a viper, and killed a group of most loyal men.
Mahneid will not consider whether Bashir has also been fooled by others. In his eyes, the result is the same. The coward must be responsible for the whole thing. He vowed to take this traitor’s family Inserted on the sharpened wooden stake, of course, provided that he can escape from this trap alive.
The identities of the desert bandits have changed at this time. They have changed from fierce chasers to hunted targets, and their opponents are a team of heavily armed regular cavalry, sturdy and well-trained. , The combat capability far surpasses these rabble.
Some legendary novels and the like really like to advertise the power of the dark side of the world. It seems that all the bandits are kung fu masters, and they are capable of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, while the horse bandits are all equipped with excellent riding skills and good marksmanship. When the government army is encircled and suppressed, the boss only needs to call out a slogan such as meeting on a narrow road and the brave wins, and they will charge forward without hesitation. At this time, the regular army will always be like a clown, even if they carry the most sophisticated weapons, they will be These desperadoes beat their heads.
Of course, it’s not all those writers making up indiscriminately. This kind of absurd battle example has been recorded in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign histories, especially in modern Chinese history, and the officials often deliberately Promote how tough the bandits are in order to cover up the fact that the government army is weak and corrupt.
But these are actually special cases that only occur under certain circumstances. Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful and fierce gangs in reality are, unless they occupy an overwhelming numerical advantage, they are well-trained In front of the regular army, it is simply vulnerable.
Because unlike bandits who only know how to fight bravely, the soldiers of the regular army receive modern systematic military training. They are war machines that can think. All training is for how to be more efficient. Take the life of the enemy.
Just like now, in the face of the powerful German-French mixed cavalry platoon, the fierce Mehanid band of thieves is fragile like a lamb to be slaughtered.
These are professional cavalry that have been formally trained. They are modern knights trained by the European army in a scientific way with the integration of hundreds of years of European top cavalry tactics and skills.
Although the cavalry unit has begun to decline on the European continent, it does not mean that this unit has lost its own lethality.
The emergence of machine guns has changed the mode of modern warfare, but the cavalry has not been eliminated by the armies of various countries for a long time. In addition to the high level of the military, there are a group of old cavalry fans, but also because the cavalry is in some The performance in the field cannot yet be replaced by a new generation of technical arms.
Because the cavalry can be called a noble arm, and the overall quality is more elite than the infantry, so Germany retained a large number of well-known cavalry formations from the Second Empire in the 100,000 army that year, and almost every infantry division would make Joining a cavalry reconnaissance unit, riding is a skill that all German army officers must master. German military players have always been the favorites to win the Olympic equestrian competition.
The set played by the Polish cavalry back then, the German cavalry is almost all here. On the Polish battlefield, the cavalry unit of the German Wehrmacht holds a spear and a rifle and rides a tall horse on the battlefield.
As for the rumors that Polish cavalry attacked German tanks with spears at that time, in fact, this was the result of an Italian journalist's brainstorming. A group of Polish cavalry attacked the German infantry who was resting and was caught off guard. The Germans were killed and fled in all directions. The cavalry unfortunately ran into a German armored unit on the way to chase the ruined army. The tankers relentlessly repelled the Polish cavalry with machine guns and artillery.
The Polish cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses in this battle. The **** scene triggered the creative desire of the Italian journalist Parada who arrived after the event. An article about the Polish cavalry stupidly charging a tank with a spear [Battlefield Report] was born. This George Parada has lived until now, and he must be warmly welcomed by some online media.
The topic has gone far, and now I return to the Sahara wasteland in North Africa. Hanster took his mixed cavalry platoon hurriedly, only to find that he was still a step late when he arrived in Loire Springs.
The traces on the scene show that the target person encountered some accident while camping. They abandoned almost all their luggage and left the camp with only their horses. The objects and supplies have not been scrutinized. If the people who attacked them did not enter the camp, then they had no interest in the objects carried by the target.
Hanst prefers to believe that it is the former. He speculated that the target may have noticed the approach of danger, so he fled the camp hastily. The attacker should have followed the target and left immediately, so he did not come to inspect these items.
The German second lieutenant immediately ordered all the horses to mount, following the horseshoe marks left on the ground, and quickly searching and advancing in the direction where the target escaped.
The German and French people ride on European horse breeds, mostly French horses and Hanover horses. They are carefully selected and the strongest horses. They are carefully fed on weekdays, and they are far superior in terms of physical strength and endurance. These native horse breeds in North Africa, especially in terms of short-range acceleration, are the best Arabian horses that are beyond the reach.
The mounts of the Sand Pirates are mostly Pablo horses adapted to the desert climate, and some of them are Spanish hybrids, able to endure hunger and thirst, and their usual endurance is good, but they are a bit embarrassing in terms of speed.
The horse trails left by the bandit group on the sand are very conspicuous. Following the traces, the German cavalry quickly spotted the enemy's shadow running wildly in the distance. At this time, the German and French cavalry had been marching for several hours under the scorching sun since the morning, and both the personnel and the horses were very tired.
Especially here in Germany, their horses have not had time to adapt to the local hot and dry environment. The shiny and smooth fur has been soaked in sweat at this time. If you continue to run at high speed, it is easy to cause irreparable damage to the horses.
But now the situation is critical. In order to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, it is inevitable to make some sacrifices if necessary. As long as the sacrifices are valuable, this is the consciousness that a German soldier must have.
Hanst was not a cavalry, but after spending some time with these cavalry, he understood the relationship between these soldiers and his mount. However, as a commander, sometimes you have to give orders that are unacceptable to your subordinates. This is also the consciousness of an officer. In order to complete their mission, they must learn to be cold-blooded and ruthless, even if it will cause anger and hatred from their subordinates~IndoMTL.com ~Charge at full speed! "Hanst drew out the saber hanging beside the saddle and held it flat towards the enemy's shadow in the distance.
"Cavalry! Assault!" the sergeant chief yelled, and at the same time he drew the Mauser pistol from his waist.
The soldiers knew that it was a critical moment, and they also knew how high-speed assaults would cause damage to their mounts, but they were all soldiers. They were educated since they were young, and the orders of superiors must be strictly obeyed, so many people He gritted his teeth, struggling to stab the belly of his beloved horse with a spur, and drove the horse forward with all strength.
These loyal animals worked hard to squeeze out their last physical strength under the high temperature of fifty degrees, and for the honor of the owner, they rushed forward frantically.
The lips of many war horses are already covered with foam. The hot local temperature puts a huge burden on these hardy Nordic horse breeds. The cavalry wiped away their tears and held their rifles steadily. Their chests were full of hatred. And anger, someone must pay for this, and the root of all this points to the group of thieves in front.
European horses have excellent short-range acceleration capabilities. Soon the distance between the two sides was shortened to seventy or eighty meters. Within this distance, these cavalry can hit targets with the size of a standard chest target.
Hanst finally pointed forward with a saber in his hand. The cavalry immediately fired the first round of volleys, and immediately one-third of the bandits and their mounts rolled to the ground.
A bandit who was thrown off his horse just got up with his head covered and turned. Before he could figure out what was going on, a saber with dazzling light appeared in front of him, spinning around. After that, a headless corpse with a familiar costume appeared in his field of vision, and then darkness fell.
