Chapter 174 Cavalry Breakthrough
When Alexei arrived at the command post, he found that he was the last of the cavalry squad to arrive.

With his right hand bandaged and hanging on his chest, he stood in front of the half-collapsed command post and arranged tasks with this small unit.

"Comrades, we can break out in five hours." This was the first sentence the regiment commander spoke.

Break out? How to break out in this situation?

The cavalrymen looked at each other in bewilderment. Now the whole town was surrounded, how could they break out?
"You heard it right. In another 5 hours, we will complete the blocking mission. According to the original plan, the th Tank Regiment will support our retreat. But there are some troubles now..." The regiment commander moved his body, revealing the radio station next to him that had become scrap metal.

"Our headquarters was hit by a cold artillery last night. Fortunately, only my arm was slightly injured." Vlalyushenko raised his hand slightly. "But our radio station was smashed. Now we can't contact the 100th Tank Regiment. We only know that they moved kilometers to the south half a day ago."

"Including the communications squad at the regiment headquarters, there are fourteen of you in total. I need you to rush out of the battlefield and search southward for the Fourth Tank Regiment. Tell them that we will break out towards the Oka River at dusk at 5 o'clock."

After saying this, Vlalyushenko paused and said, "Comrades, the retreat plan for the entire defense line has been formulated. Therefore, no matter what the result is, we will launch a breakout on time in 5 hours. Whether you can contact the th Tank Regiment is related to the safety of our entire regiment."

"Only you can complete this mission. It's up to you!" The regiment commander stood at attention and saluted with his remaining hand.

Alexei and the other cavalrymen looked at each other, stood at attention and saluted.

The horses in the stables were led out one by one. The cavalrymen were checking their equipment. The sharp sabers were wiped clean. The non-commissioned officers handed their pistols to the cavalrymen. A submachine gunner brought a PPSh to replace the long rifles in the hands of several people, and placed several bundles of cluster bombs on both sides of the horses.

The young signalman led his Mongolian horse and was paired with Alexei and Sergei. In addition to organizing his weapons, he also stuffed letters into his backpack.

"It would be better if we could take this opportunity to send the letter." The signalman said to Alexei.

Just after noon, the Soviet defenders, who had been silent, suddenly launched an attack. Light and heavy mortars were concentrated and fiercely bombarded the junction of the German encirclement!

Boom boom boom! ! ! ! !
The Soviet artillery fire raised clouds of smoke, and the soldiers on the German positions buried their heads, and at this time they heard a very rhythmic sound.

Gada, gada, gada!

Amid the sound of cannon fire, more than a dozen war horses suddenly emerged from the smoke!
The air was filled with smoke and dust. Alexei, who was in the team, recalled the scene of the first charge that day. He drew his saber and shouted with the people around him.

"For the Soviets! Charge!!!"

Because of the cover of artillery smoke, the distance between the two sides was only one hundred meters when the Germans discovered the cavalry.

For a warhorse, it was just a matter of a moment.

"It's the Soviet cavalry! Machine gunners, quick! Quick!" the German soldiers in the position shouted.

The machine gunner raised his MG42 and was about to pull the trigger when a bullet pierced his chest.

boom! !

In the house far away, Tanya cocked the gun, put a candy in her mouth, and then pulled the trigger again.

boom! !

Another machine gunner fell!

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

The machine gun on a German armored vehicle finally opened fire. At least three riders were hit by bullets in the first wave. They fell off amid the neighing of their horses, but the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.

Hand-to-hand combat! The cavalry charged into the German positions, sabers raised high to strike at heads.

There was a flash of knife, and the German soldiers blocking the front were chopped to the ground before they could even raise their guns. At the same time, the cavalry behind threw cluster bombs with fuses pulled into the position.

Boom boom boom! ! ! !

A violent explosion sounded, and the cavalry took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the German positions.

Alexei lay on the horse's back, listening to the bullets whizzing past his ears. He held the reins tightly and urged "Victory" to sprint faster and faster.

Looking up, they saw that only eight of them were left after a charge, and the young communicator was riding a Mongolian horse and riding side by side with him.

The battlefield behind them was shrinking rapidly and was left behind by them.

Rumble, rumble~~~
The sound of a terrifying engine was heard behind him. A German Owl armored vehicle followed at full speed from behind, and the machine gun on the vehicle kept adjusting its direction to aim at the cavalry in front.

Someone threw a cluster bomb backwards, but it had no accuracy at all while running, and the PPSh submachine gun could not hurt the opponent at all except leaving sparks on the opponent's armor.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!
The armored vehicle opened fire, and dense bullets hit the two cavalrymen at the back, and someone rolled down again.

Unable to fight or outrun, this type of light armored vehicle is almost the natural enemy of cavalry.

"Run separately!" someone shouted, and several cavalrymen dispersed in several directions, while the armored vehicle chose Alexei's direction and chased after him.

The Orlov horse is not a breed known for its endurance. Victory under his crotch became breathless and the horse began to slow down, and the distance between the two sides began to narrow.

And even more terrifying things are yet to come.

A pitch-black Type 4 tank appeared in the middle of the road at some point, with its cold gun barrel pointed straight at him.

Attacked from both sides, it's over! This was the only thought in Alexei's mind at that time.

But just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, a Russian voice came from somewhere beside his ear, "Don't be in the middle of the road, get out of my way!"

Without time to think carefully, Alexei subconsciously followed the other party's instructions. He pulled the reins and forcibly adjusted the direction of victory, but the horse lost its balance and threw Alexei to the ground.

At this time, the black muzzle of the Type 4 tank was aimed at the armored vehicle speeding in front.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The 75mm KwK37 artillery roared, and the shell hit the Owl armored vehicle head-on, which had no idea of ​​the situation, and directly penetrated the opponent.

A huge fireball rose up, and a machine gun turret with a shield was blown into the sky, and then fell to the ground, almost hitting Alexei who was knocked unconscious.

"What's going on? Why are the Germans fighting themselves?" A huge question swirled in Alexei's mind.

Click, the sound of boots hitting the ground, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and Alexei's eyes grew big.

"Comrade Special Envoy, why are you here too?!"
