Australian Storm 1876

   Chapter 633

  Throughout the entire battlefield, it presents a complicated situation with two layers of canine teeth intertwined one layer after another.

The A Corps encircled the 70,000 Confederate Army Williamson Corps with more than 90,000 troops. With superior weapons, it enveloped the enemy with more violent artillery fire and bullet rain, setting off waves after waves. Death is a bloodbath.

  Although the situation prevailed, it did not turn into a victory.

  This is like a dumpling with thin skin and big stuffing. The Williamson Corps has the ability to counterattack at any time to break through and escape south, even turning its head back and taking a bite.

  So the commander of the A Corps, Wei Chi Shouzhuo, came to the front line to command in person, reacting to the enemy's movements like walking on thin ice, and did not dare to slack in the slightest.

  After discovering the reinforcements of the Victorian Corps, they immediately dispatched the Tiger and Leopard cavalry divisions to block, harass, and delay the enemy reinforcements.

  In this way, the battlefield situation is more complicated.

The lesson of the annihilation of the Confederate Army Livingston Cavalry Division is at hand. The Tiger and Leopard cavalry divisions don’t dare to go too far. When the teacher died without a burial place.

Therefore, the two cavalry divisions set up a regiment-level sniper position on the outer left and right of the middle zone. The officers and soldiers dismounted to dig trenches and defended. They used 60mm field guns, heavy machine guns and platoon guns to form a crossfire net to stop Victoria. The Corps continued to approach.

Other officers and soldiers of the    Cavalry Division took advantage of the high mobility of the horses under their seats to launch harassment operations from the middle and rear of the enemy’s march.

  Don’t say it, this kind of play makes the Victorian Corps very uncomfortable.

The harassment force of the cavalry division mounts two 60mm field guns far away. Several heavy machine guns are just one shot. If the cavalry is sent to drive away, if the cavalry is sent out, the food will be delivered if there is less. pass.

Because the opponent is coming from two cavalry divisions, each division has about 8,000 personnel. Even if each is missing a regiment, the remaining total strength will reach about 1.2, which is more than the size of the 7,000-strong Macbeth Cavalry Division belonging to the Victorian Corps. It's so much more.

The total strength of the entire Victoria Corps has swelled to more than 68,000. Except for the heavy artillery division, an infantry division and two infantry regiments on the defense line facing Beilun City, a total of more than 15,000 troops will be held, and the rest will be supported. Just such a single Miao cavalry division.

  If it really fights, it's not always certain who annihilates who?

  If you leave it unattended and speed up the march, there are two stumbling stones in front, is it possible to force through the blockade by artillery fire?

  How many casualties were there?

The Williamson Corps, which is heavily encircled in front, still has a Henry Cavalry Division, with a total strength of nearly 10,000. It was originally a mobile force to protect the right wing of the regiment. Now they are shrouded in the depths of the encirclement and dare not come out. They are the Livingston Cavalry Division. The tragedy of the annihilation of the entire army was frightened, and he no longer dared to charge with the rain of bullets.

  Today, the Leopard Cavalry Division achieved a brilliant victory on the battlefield. The bones of the Livingston Cavalry Division proved a truth; the traditional cavalry charge has no way to survive on the battlefield of hot weapons.

  Since the platoon gun tactics prevailed in the 18th century, the cavalry regiments that once crossed the Eurasian continent came to an end. The dragoons or cuirassier divisions that the French emperor Napoleon relied on to become famous can be regarded as horse-riding infantry.

  Riding on horseback, dismounting to fight.

   is the most significant combat feature of the Dragoon Division during the Napoleonic era in France. This is the best application example of today's cavalry division in the era of thermal weapons.

  The organization of the Dragoon divisions in the Napoleonic era in France is very flexible. The cavalry division generally has 2 to 3 brigades and two regiments, each with 3 to 4 squadrons, and there are also cavalry companies below.

  Due to changes in the fighting situation, the cavalry divisions have changed from 1 brigade to 5 brigades, and the number will increase from more than 4,000 to tens of thousands.

  Theoretically, the French cavalry regiment has 800 to 1,200 men, but the number will drop during wartime, generally around 300 to 600. The number of squadrons varies from 75 to 250, and the ups and downs are very violent.

  In 1809, there were 209 squadrons of cavalry in the Napoleonic army, with an average of 139 men per squadron, and a total of nearly 30,000 cavalry.

  From 1812 to 1813, the squadrons under the cavalry regiment rose to 6 or even 8 squadrons, and the number of each cavalry regiment reached the upper limit of 1,200.

  In the army of the French emperor Napoleon, the Guards Cavalry Division of General Walter had 4 brigades, plus the artillery directly under the division, the number was as high as 5,900. Many of the cavalry divisions in the regiment were close to 5,000.

The cavalry division of the Ocean Kingdom is modeled on the French dragoon, but the brigade level is cancelled and the large regiment system is used directly. Each cavalry division has five regiments, with a total strength of about 8,200-8600 men, and four cavalry regiments. And a division firepower.

The    divisional fire regiment is equipped with 18 60mm portable field artillery and 36 heavy machine guns, which have a certain ability to attack.

Facing the chase and interception of the two cavalry divisions, the Victorian Corps had to stop. On the one hand, it sent infantry units to expand the outer defensive line and counterattacked and harassed the cavalry. Drop these two nasty stones.

  So

  The two sides opened the battlefield about 3 miles south of the encirclement, and the "ping-pong-pong" fought again, which made the current battlefield situation more complicated.

Holding a heavyweight southern federal corps in one hand, Corps A was no longer as calm as before. The strength of the army instantly turned into a disadvantage, causing a quiet change in the battle situation. Commander Yuchi's defensiveness really complained, and he was extremely coping with it. Strenuous.

  There is no way, he can only bite the bullet and stand it up. He is very eager for the B Corps to come to help at this moment. The original idea of ​​eating alone has long been forgotten.

  At this moment, both the enemy and us are stuck on the battlefield, and no one can get out.

   rushed to reinforce the Victorian regiment without heavy artillery, but there were a lot of heavy machine guns on the carriage. After being unloaded in the first time, they were dragged to the forward position and fired fiercely against the cavalry regiments sniping in front to cover the large infantry attack.

  The battlefield became a pot of porridge, bullets whizzed and fluttered in the air, the soldiers on both sides fell one after another in the cruel battle, all gritted their teeth and persisted.

   half an hour later

The sunset glow on the side of the day was high in the sky, and the main force of the B Corps who came for reinforcements appeared in the distance. The powerful army could not see the side at a glance. It caused the A Corps soldiers in the battle to cheer like a sea of ​​cheers, and couldn't bear it. Lived with joy and wept.

  At this moment, the B Corps is running forward, like a large black cloud passing over the Constance Plateau, rushing to the battlefield with the fearless aura of someone else.

  A torrent of iron armor flowed out to the west of the battlefield. It passed by in the sky with smoke and dust, as if countless violent beasts were coming from an unreasonable impact. This terrifying huge power instantly attracted the attention of both the enemy and us in the battlefield.

  Oh Meiga...what the **** is this?
