Jagged Germany

  The combat power of the Cossack cavalry is undoubtedly extremely powerful. Every single one of them is a warrior, a terrifying existence. Especially in the era of cold weapons, it is even more invincible. Even after the rise of hot weapons, it still has a strong combat effectiveness.

   However, with the development of technology and the emergence of automatic weapons, the living space of cavalry has been inevitably squeezed. After the emergence of armored forces, cavalry will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

  The 8th Armored Division of the German Army, although the tanks equipped are very simple. But no matter how simple it is, it is still a tank, and it cannot be destroyed by the saber in the hands of the Cossack cavalry.

  So, when the Cossack cavalry of the two divisions appeared on the battlefield and looked at the hundreds of iron lumps that were rumbling towards them, they were all stunned. Some people even involuntarily looked at the saber in their hands. Next, are they going to use the saber in their hands to deal with those iron lumps? This made them swallow their saliva involuntarily. Even the brave Cossack cavalry would probably have such doubts in their hearts at this moment.

   "Sir, are we going to deal with those iron guys? They don't seem to be something we can deal with!" A young Cossack cavalry asked with a sad face.

   "Coward! The saber in the hands of the Cossack cavalry is invincible. For hundreds of years, we have defeated a large number of enemies and won countless glory for the nation and the country." The officer reprimanded.

  The Cossack cavalry has no military pay, and their source of income is often the spoils seized on the battlefield and the plunder after defeating the enemy. Therefore, the Cossack cavalry is very brave, eager to fight, and fearless in battle. For them, if there is no war, there is no income.

  Major General Andrei and Major General Karski are not looking very good at the moment. There was a faint bad feeling in their hearts, as if they had been cheated.

  However, it has reached the point where the arrow is on the string and has to be launched. It is obviously impossible to retreat now. At that time, Admiral Samsonov will definitely put all the responsibility for the defeat on them. Therefore, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch an attack.

   "Attack! For glory! Kill those Germans!" Major General Andre ordered.

   "Attack! Kill!"

   Countless Cossack cavalry shouted, driving their horses, and began to charge. The sprint speed of the Don horse is astonishing, which allows the Cossack cavalry to easily cut off a person's head with the help of the power of the horse when fighting. It's just that, facing the German tanks this time, can their usual tactics still work? the answer is negative!

   "God! Are those Russians crazy? They actually launched a charge? Did they think they could smash our tanks?" Lieutenant Colonel Rommel exclaimed.

   "Hmph! Stupid Russians. Order all tanks to stop advancing and keep the distance. Machine guns and tank guns are ready. Get rid of all those Russian cavalry." Colonel Guderian gave the order indifferently.

   One tank after another stopped advancing, and the tank guns began to rotate, aiming at the direction in which the Russian Cossack cavalry was attacking. At the same time, the coaxial machine gun and heading machine gun in front of the tank have been loaded and ready to shoot.

  For the armored soldiers of the German 8th Armored Division, this battle undoubtedly made their blood boil. The scene of tens of thousands of cavalry charging is something that most people will never see in their lifetime. However, now they want to destroy these cavalry with their own hands, it's exciting to think about it!

   "Fire!"

  When the Cossack cavalry rushed to less than one kilometer from the 8th Armored Division's line of defense, Colonel Guderian gave the order to fire.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  The tank guns of the tank fired, and the 37mm shells fell into the formation of the Cossack cavalry. Some unlucky cavalrymen were blown away, and some war horses were killed or seriously injured, and they wailed. The cavalrymen on horseback were even thrown to the ground, trampled into flesh by the galloping horses.

  Because the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army is too fast, and at the same time, when the 37mm tank gun fires high-explosive shells, the power is not very powerful. Although the tanks of the 8th Armored Division caused certain casualties to the Cossack cavalry, the casualties were still within an acceptable range.

  Major General Andre and Major General Karski also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Cossack cavalry rushed to the front, their combat effectiveness could be displayed. At that time, we will definitely be able to win.

   "Machine gun fire!"

  When the Cossack cavalry rushed to only two hundred meters away from the tank, the coaxial machine guns and directional machine guns on all the tanks fired. In order to enhance the firepower, these machine guns are all 12.7mm heavy machine guns. The power is very powerful.

   "Da da da!" More than two hundred heavy machine guns fired, forming a dense barrage. The Cossack cavalry quickly slammed into the barrage. Immediately, the entire cossack cavalry line came to a standstill as if they had been punched hard.

   There is no way to stop, the cavalry rushing to the front has been shot to death by dense machine gun bullets. The corpses of the horses and soldiers fell to the ground, piled up layer upon layer, which seriously hindered the subsequent cavalry charge. Some people had to rein in the horses and slow down. And the cavalry in the back didn't know what happened and didn't slow down, which caused these cavalry to collide. Many cavalry fell from their horses and were trampled to death.

   The real reminder is still the machine guns of the tanks of the German 8th Armored Division. Every machine gun was firing crazily, until the barrels became hot, and then they had to stop to cool down.

  Countless Cossack cavalrymen were shot alive under the intensive bullet rain of the German army. Many war horses and Cossack cavalry were directly beaten into honeycombs.

   "God! How is this possible?" Major General Andrei and Major General Karski, who were watching the battle in the rear, had already changed their expressions drastically. They never imagined that such a result would happen.

   "Damn it, why is the firepower of the Germans so powerful? Using cavalry to attack the enemy's dense machine gun position is simply hitting a stone with a pebble, and you are looking for death!" Major General Karski also cursed.

  But it's too late to wake up now. Their two Cossack cavalry divisions were being killed bit by bit under the strong firepower of the German army.
