Chapter 873 First Battle of the Armored Division

On July 1, the armored division was transported by train to Xi'an.

This is the westernmost end of the Dahua Railway at present, and the section from Xi'an to Lanzhou has already been put on the road. After the Daxi Army captures more prisoners ahead, construction can begin.

The prisoners captured by the Daxi Army at the beginning all chose to kill them, because they were a group of rogues and did not need population.

Dahua merchants saw that this was really a waste. It is not easy for a person to grow up to the age of 10 or 20. They are all precious labor.

As a result, Dahua merchants offered to spend money to buy them, and the Daxi Army was naturally extremely happy.

It was a waste of time to dig a hole, but now it can be sold for money.

It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

The armored division was unloaded in Xi'an, and then, together with another cavalry division, drove to Dingchuan County, the current border town of Dahua, and was ready to set off from there to attack the Tueryi Special Department in Yinchuan.

When the army drove into Dingchuan County, the local people left their work behind and ran to the roadside to watch the fun.

The army was lined up in a serpent, and at the front was a three-person motorcycle unit, a driver, an infantryman, and a machine gunner.

A machine gun seat is added next to the motorcycle, and the machine gunner sits in it.

There are also a small number of two-wheelers without machine gun slots, these are sentinels for reconnaissance.

After the motorcycle unit is the armored vehicle. The heavy machine gun on the roof looks majestic.

The cannon pulled by the truck behind was even more frightening.

This marginal town in Dingchuan County never even had a steam engine.

Suddenly, such a group of iron armored things that can move on their own came, and many people were terrified.

It is also thanks to them that they know that they are Dahua and that these are Dahua's troops.

If these were enemy stuff, they should go home and change their pants.

"What are these things, and why are they able to walk on their own?"

A commoner muttered that he didn't ask the people around him, because the people around him certainly didn't know.

"Is there some ghostly power behind it?"

"How is it possible, why do ghosts and gods help to push so many cars?"

......

Everyone speculates randomly, and there is no reliable statement.

In contrast, those children are not so surprised. Their worldview has not yet been formed, and their ability to accept new things is very strong.

In their opinion, these things will move on their own, and the birds can still go to the sky, what's so strange?

Rather than being curious, they want to sit in those cars and feel these things up close.

The arrival of Hua Jun broke this quiet town, and gave the people another topic to talk about after dinner.

Hua Jun stayed in this small town for less than a day, and the next day he went back to Yinchuan and went straight to Yinchuan.

The Tueryi Special Department belongs to a semi-nomadic and semi-settled state.

In some barren places, people are nomadic with aquatic plants.

In the area of ​​Yinchuan, a large number of people settled here.

After entering the special department of Tueryi, the Hua army soon encountered the cavalry of the special department of Tueryi.

Hua Jun made such a big move, it is impossible for them to not receive any news.

However, although they knew that the Hua army was coming, there was a big disagreement on whether to fight or flee.

So that before they made a decision, Hua Jun had already arrived at their territory.

This time there is no need to discuss any more, we can only fight.

If they run away, those old and weak women and children will not be able to take them with them.

In the case of seeking peace, Dahua's conditions must be extremely harsh.

Therefore, fighting became the only option.

The Tueryi Special Department assembled nearly 20,000 cavalrymen and faced the heavy armored division of the Chinese army.

"What should I do, do I just rush over?"

Sotu asked his father.

How to fight with mechanized troops, he has absolutely no experience in this area.

Of course, his father Sotu Sr. had no such experience either.

In desperation, the old Suotu could only order to rush first.

After all, on the surface, the soldiers of the Chinese army's motorcycle unit are still exposed and can chop with sabres.

As for how to deal with armored vehicles, the old Suotu has no clue for the time being.

Seeing the enemy rushing towards him, the head of the motorcycle regiment, Nie Ping, immediately ordered to stop advancing, and formed a line to wait for the enemy to come.

Because of his outstanding performance in Annan's battle, Nie Ping was reused again and was transferred to the crucial tank division.

Although it was only his first contact with mechanized troops, Nie Ping was able to give proper command.

He knew that the training of the mechanized division was not enough. The motorcycle was moving, and it was more difficult for the machine gunner to hit accurately.

So, he chose to let the troops stop, so that the shooting was much more stable.

At the same time, he also requested artillery support from the rear.

After all, with the strength of his regiment, it is still a bit risky to reach the charge of tens of thousands of enemy troops.

Dahua's officers have developed the habit of pursuing a low casualty rate, and he is no exception.

Victory is only the most basic requirement.

Only by winning with a small price, that is called playing well.

The formation was opened, the machine gunners were ready, the infantry behind the car also picked up their rifles, and even

The drivers all pulled out their pistols, ready to contribute a little firepower.

In the rear, receiving a request for artillery support, the trucks responsible for towing the artillery also stopped, and the artillery began to hurriedly adjust the artillery.

Other infantrymen dismounted from their vehicles and constructed simple fortifications around them to prevent enemy cavalry from attacking the artillery units.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry at the forefront had already rushed into the range of the Chinese army.

"Fire."

With an order, Hua Jun's machine gunner pulled the trigger.

Da da da......

Immediately, countless horses and cavalry were shot.

The horse fell, the rider was thrown to the ground, and the scene was chaotic.

The cavalry who was still charging froze in the head and fell into panic.

This speed of death and injury is too terrifying. At this speed, they may not be able to rush to Hua Jun.

If you can't rush in front of the Hua army, how can you threaten the Hua army?

Some soldiers are thinking, but this kind of thinking cannot change the status quo, and they are all forced to move forward.

Once the cavalry rushed up, there was no such thing as turning around and retreating.

The only way to avoid the battle is to run to both sides to avoid the enemy.

And this is what they are doing now.

The soldiers who rushed in front had no idea of ​​returning home. They were immediately frightened by the tragic casualties, and they turned their horses' heads without hesitation and fled to both sides.

However, this still cannot escape the fate of being massacred.

Although Huajun's machine guns are not as flexible as rifles, they cover a large shooting surface.

When the enemy flees to the sides, there are still some machine guns that can be fired.

Moreover, the cavalry behind the Mongols was still charging forward and became a new shooting target.
