Chapter 348 Infantry vs Cavalry

When the cavalry is charging, they will never be stupidly close together and charge in dense formation, which is simply to create conditions for the opponent's machine guns.

They are all spread out. The cavalry and the cavalry are separated by a distance of more than ten meters, or even dozens of meters. In this way, the opponent's light machine guns can only be shot one by one with short shots.

Therefore, although the firepower density of the German infantry battalion greatly exceeded the expectations of the Polish cavalry, it was still relatively easy to break through compared to the German armored forces.

As the proudest cavalry, every time they attack, they are determined to die, and they are not afraid of casualties. When they rushed to a certain distance, the grenade thrown over made the opponent's machine gun temporarily dumb. This opportunity, they can rush up!

The Polish cavalry were still charging, and in their opinion, it was only a matter of a moment.

"Poles, go to hell!" Nelz stood up from the fortification, holding the machine gun left by the squad leader.

The ZB-26 light machine gun is a fairly mature light machine gun. It can not only be supported by a bipod, but also used on the ground, and it can also be used on the side!

Holding the front handle, Nelz picked up the machine gun. Then, he held the lower part of the handle with his left hand, the gun machine with his right hand, and the magazine was sandwiched between his arms. Then, he faced the Polish cavalry who rushed over. , Nelz pulled the trigger.

The bullets shot towards the Polish cavalry on the opposite side.

When attacking, the ZB-26 light machine gun can move forward quickly with the infantry, and continuously provide timely fire support. In actual combat, the machine gun can also be shot by the shooter flat-end while charging.

Just like now, Nelz stood up with anger, revenge for the squad leader, the light machine gun was roaring, the machine gun muzzle was flaring, and the bullets flew towards the opposite side.

He doesn't have to worry about the opponent's bullets. The opponents are all cavalry. When they are about to charge, the saber is their most effective weapon. They will not shoot with a gun at this time.

Standing up, Nelz, holding a machine gun, on the entire battlefield, his figure is extremely tall at this time!

The closest Polish cavalry was caught off guard and shot down. Behind him, the second Polish cavalry twisted his body, trying to pass through the bullet rain, but unfortunately, he was shot down.

The machine gunfire stopped.

Nelz squatted down quickly and wanted to change the magazine, but the magazine was suppressed by the body of the sub-machine gunner just now. He didn't have time to move the body of his comrade-in-arms. The cavalry's hooves were close!

Although there were many light machine guns, the number of Polish cavalry that rushed over was quite large. After paying nearly half of their casualties, they still rushed to the front of the infantry battalion.

For traditional infantry, once approached by cavalry, it is almost a one-sided massacre.

"Kill these Polish cavalry!" If it was an ordinary troop, after being approached by the cavalry, it must have fled immediately. The cavalry's shining saber brought the fear of death.

But now, the German infantry is not afraid.

They are not afraid of death, they are full of fighting spirit.

The great Führer Adolf was killed by the Poles. This hatred, plus the previous hatred, was imprinted in everyone's mind, making them all burn with anger. This was a life-and-death battle.

Before Nelz could get the magazine, the German cavalry had already rushed over. The opponent's saber gleamed in the sun, and a graceful arc came over Nelz's head.

So Nelz immediately raised his machine gun and collided with the opponent's saber with the body of the gun.

"Boom!" Nelz's hands went numb from the shock. He looked at the half of the barrel of his gun, which was bent from the upper part of the handle, and flew out together, along with the half of the saber.

The standard saber of the Polish cavalry is so hard that it can bend its own barrel! But at the same time, the opponent's saber was also broken.

The barrel of the ZB-26 light machine gun can be seen to be threaded. This is because the outer edge of the barrel from the rear of the gas hoop to the front of the chamber is machined with a circular cooling groove. A common way of machine guns of the era.

The shot just now made the barrel of the machine gun hot, and now, the saber just cut it into the heat sink, and as a result, it bent immediately!

However, the Polish cavalry did not have any good results. The collision just now made his arms go numb, and his saber was also cut off. He no longer had any weapons that the cavalry could use.

However, as an old rider, the warhorse under his crotch is the best weapon.

He pulled on the reins, and his warhorse turned expertly, raising both front hooves, trying to trample Nelz to death beside him.

Infantry and cavalry fought, and many infantrymen were trampled to death.

Nelz watched the horse's hoof rise high, and he was not afraid at all. He took advantage of the situation and aimed his bent gun barrel at the other's horse's hoof, and stabbed it fiercely!

The barrel of the gun brushed past the horse's hoof, but it rubbed against the horse's leg. In an instant, a burnt smell came.

The hair on the horse's leg was scorched in an instant, and then, there was the meat on the horse's leg.

What does it feel like to scald the meat with a red-hot iron?

As an experienced machine gunner, you will never pull the trigger and shoot out all the bullets. At this moment, the barrel will be so hot that the bullets behind will risk exploding.

For the water-cooled Mark Qin heavy machine gun, when shooting, the front water jacket often boils, and water needs to be continuously added to it, while the air-cooled machine gun is almost used for short bursts, and bullets cannot be thrown without any scruples. .

However, Nelz is not a qualified machine gunner. He just picked up the gun. He shot all the bullets in the magazine. The barrel of the gun was already hot, but this time, the barrel was even hotter.

If the barrel isn't hot, it won't be chopped and bent, and although no redness can be seen, the barrel is already hot.

At this moment, the warhorse was startled, his eyes were bulging, and in his mind, he remembered the branding iron on his butt when he first became a warhorse.

As a result, the horse's hoof brushed and it stood taller. The Polish cavalry on horseback did not notice the sudden change. As a proud rider, he couldn't control it.

He had no way to control it at all, the body of the war horse not only stood up, but also fell backwards, so the rider could only follow and fall off the horse!

Seeing this Polish cavalry fall off his horse, there was only one voice in Nelz's mind, kill him, kill him!

So, just as the Polish cavalry fell off the horse, Nelz threw away the machine gun, quickly took out the bayonet from behind him, and ran over in two steps.
