The desolate Alem village is even more desolate after the lack of people. The crops that are left unattended, and the half-dead and half-pawed heads bow their heads. This is the result of no one to irrigate it.

A team suddenly appeared in this small village, dressed in Italian troops. They vigilantly observed the houses in the village, and carefully checked them inside and out.

At the same time, the outside of the village was not spared. The ravines, streams, small valleys and other places were all checked. After seeing no one, they climbed the mountain and waved the flag in their hands vigorously.

"There is no danger in this basin, let's go."

Pascal, who was waiting outside, put down the telescope in his hand and gave an order.

And following his orders, the team set off again.

The previous impact of the valley cattle made Pascal more and more cautious, which also prevented him from arriving here last night. However, he did not take it in his mind, because the plan is not static, and every commander needs to use it flexibly.

However, as the team started moving again, the two soldiers chatted. "Dor, why are there no Abyssinian cavalry today, these guys are inseparable to us."

"Pol, shut up for me, do you like to see them pass in front of you wielding sabers?"

The two soldiers did not know that on the farther mountain, in front of a camouflaged dead tree, dozens of Abyssinian soldiers were hiding here, observing the Italian army in the distance. In the hands of one of the leading officers, a telescope that is very rare in his army is sticking in front of his eye sockets to observe the every move of the Italian army in the distance.

When most of the troops must have entered the valley, he immediately gave orders to the soldiers around him. "Send a message immediately, the enemy has entered."

Following his order, the soldiers quickly pushed down the dead tree. As the tree fell to the ground, strange things happened. On other hills, there were also scenes of trees falling to the ground one after another.

That's right, the message tree is universal.

Such a situation was not observed by the Italian army on the march.

The Italian army, swaggering into the basin, will soon know the consequences of careless observation.

"dong dong dong~"

This is a slight vibration of the earth, and the Italian troops in the basin felt it.

"what's going on?"

"Why is the ground shaking?"

While other soldiers were still a little confused, some experienced veterans changed their faces. "No, there is a large cavalry coming, and the number may exceed ten thousand."

In fact, the estimates of the veterans are somewhat different, because there are more than 10,000, and 20,000 Abyssinian cavalry are rushing towards this side with overwhelming momentum.

The two battalion officers and soldiers who were in charge of guarding on the mountain were stunned at the sudden appearance of the enemy. They couldn't figure out where this enemy suddenly appeared.

In fact, these cavalrymen were hiding in a nearby mountain, where the low terrain just blocked the people on the mountain from visiting. This is the location chosen by Johannes IV after repeated experiments.

Because this battle is related to his success or failure, there is no room for failure, so he needs to do his best from the beginning. For this reason, he recruited all the cavalry and organized this raid with the cavalry taking the lead.

In addition to the cavalry, larger infantrymen emerged from all around, and these infantrymen with various weapons rushed towards the basin from all directions.

"Enemy attack!"

The sentinel roared the news of the enemy's attack. In fact, the army already knew it without him saying it. Such a mighty attack could be felt as long as it was not dead.

As the commander of the unit, Major General Pascal responded immediately.

"Focus the machine guns and carriages to the front, and give priority to the enemy's cavalry. The mountain brigade immediately prepares to go up the mountain to block the enemy's incoming infantry. The artillery troops immediately go to the rear, and the fourth regiment quickly builds positions and prepares to meet the onslaught of the enemy's cavalry. Also, immediately Let the rear guard send someone to inform General Simeone that our army has encountered the main siege of the enemy and asks for support."

After issuing a series of orders, Major General Pascal's hanging heart finally fell. He is not afraid of the large-scale attack of the enemy, but the kind of small-scale harassment that is very troublesome, because this kind of small-scale attack not only makes the troops stop and delays time, but also because it keeps the soldiers on high alert all the time. It will increase the psychological pressure of soldiers.

Now, although it is being raided, it can also exert its own firepower advantage, so whoever has the advantage needs to look at the performance of the battlefield.

Following Major General Pascal's order, the machine gun carriage disguised as food and grass removed its shield, revealing a cold murder weapon. The operating soldier hides behind a baffle made of steel plates, only showing his head.

These machine gun carriages immediately gathered forward, and the firepower network composed of more than 40 Maxim machine guns would surely impress the enemy.

Didn't make them wait any longer, just as they set up their positions, Abyssinian cavalry appeared in front of them.

Although the two battalions on the mountain were desperately firing on it, it was not that easy to fight fast-moving enemies, let alone that they were so far away. Except for more than two dozen unlucky ones, no one lost.

These Abyssinian cavalry, seeing the Italian army in front of them, shouted and planned to use the most lethal cavalry to charge.

From here, we can see the advanced nature of Simone's use of carriages to install machine guns. If it weren't for these machine guns installed on carriages, relying on those machine guns powered by wheels, a disaster would be imminent. Yunxuan Pavilion

"Fire!"

The commander in charge of the battle immediately gave the order to fire after seeing the enemy cavalry approaching the distance.

“Da da da da~”

Following the commander's order, the Maxim machine gun deployed in a semicircle exploded with unparalleled power. More than 40 tongues of fire let the incoming cavalry know what **** on earth is.

Countless tongues of flame engulfed these brave Abyssinian cavalry, who were swept away by ferocious fire.

In front of the icy killing machine, the Abyssinian cavalry's group charge was overwhelmed by it.

In the face of his cavalry being suppressed by the powerful firepower of the enemy, the Abyssinian cavalry commander who led the team shouted with red eyes. "Rush, continue to charge, can't stop, don't stop!"

In fact, needless to say, every cavalryman knows that as long as the speed of the large-scale charge increases, no one dares to reduce the speed. Because the enemy's bullets won't necessarily kill you, but as long as you slow down, the charging comrades behind you will definitely kill you without a whole corpse. In a state of galloping horses, everyone must guarantee this speed.

In a way, the Abyssinians have more than 20,000 well-trained cavalry, and it is no wonder that they are the roost in East Africa.

It's just that today is a disaster for this cavalry. The warriors who have followed one after another have no chance to rush to the enemy, and they have fallen on the way to charge.

But their sacrifices are not without effect.

In front of a machine gun with empty ammunition and white steam, the main shooter shouted to the sub-shooter beside him. "Quick, change bullets."

The sub-shooter quickly removed the empty ammo box and threw it aside, next to it was an empty ammo box on the ground. Then he quickly picked up an iron box full of ammunition and loaded it. The main shooter picked up the canvas bullet chain and loaded it with a snap.

Then the machine gun sounded again.

On the battlefield, this kind of situation can be seen everywhere. After all, Mark Qin is a big bullet eater, and the 150 bullet chains he uses can only last for 20 seconds. And fortunately, the Maxim machine gun is water-cooled. If the air-cooled machine gun is facing such a situation, it is simply impossible to resist the assault of the incoming cavalry.

But even so, there were still calls one after another on the ground.

"Quick, I'm running out of ammunition here, I need ammunition supplies."

"Where is the cooling water, hurry up and get it."

Busier than the primary and secondary shooters are the logisticians, who need to meet all their requirements.

Now these more than 40 machine guns are the reliance of the Italians. And the Abyssinian cavalry, if they want to rush into the Italian army to kill, they need to cross the machine gun position.

This is like reaching the top of the cow, it depends on who can't hold it first. Whether the Abyssinians used human life to pile up a way to kill the enemy, or whether the Italian machine guns crushed the enemy, it all depends on the performance of both parties.

As the battle intensified, the Abyssinian casualty figures skyrocketed, and the Italian machine guns on the positions were not unscathed.

With a sound of "click!", a machine gun was used too intensely, causing parts to be damaged and muted.

This made the main and auxiliary shooters jump in a hurry. They tried several times against the hot machine gun, but the machine gun didn't respond.

"How to do?"

"Quick fix."

However, if you want to repair weapons on the battlefield, you need a big heart. Facing the overwhelming cavalry in front of them, the two of them fiddled with them for a long time to no avail.

This is not a special case, over time, the machine guns have been firing non-stop, and there have been problems one after another.

In the final analysis, the early Maxim machine gun was not stable enough, but this problem is really terrible for the current Italian officers and soldiers.

However, compared with the Italian officers and soldiers, the Abyssinian cavalry was even more miserable. The non-stop charging made it fall in pieces in front of the position, and the corpses of its men and horses became new roadblocks, so that the cavalry in the rear could not rush at all.

Such a tragic situation has also greatly damaged his morale, and his indomitable momentum has also been weakened. Many cavalry have been very hesitant when charging~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Boom boom boom! "

At this time, the Italians' artillery was finally set up, which became the last straw, so that the Abyssinian cavalry could no longer maintain morale, and they retreated to the rear.

And the commander who led the team, seeing such a scene, could only order helplessly. "retreat."

In this short-lived cavalry battle against machine guns, the Abyssinians understood with their flesh and blood that cavalry could not charge the machine gun positions.

However, the price of this truth is too staggering. In order to understand this truth, the Abyssinian cavalry lost nearly 6,000.

After seeing the machine guns repel the enemy cavalry, Major General Pascal, as the commander, did not have time to rejoice and immediately ordered. "Move the machine gun that can still be used up the mountain immediately, the enemy over there is coming."
