"Ta-ta-ta!" Squad Automatic Weapon fired fiercely, hitting several Bolshevik border guards soldiers with a hail of bullets. The other Buru soldiers were also frightened and lay on the ground, sweating coldly.
The equipment of Border Guards is originally the worst among the Buru Army. They are basically eliminated from the field troops, so it is not expected that their quality will be much better. In addition, the mission this time was to intercept fugitives, so these Border Guards did not carry many powerful weapons. In addition to rifles, they only had a few grenades. This caused them to not know what to do for a while after they were shot by Ukrainian army's machine gun.
Fortunately, Ukraine soldiers saw that Bolshevik border guards had been suppressed, and instead of pursuing the victory, they immediately evacuated. No matter what, this time they were the ones who shot first, killing several Bolshevik border guards, and they themselves did not suffer any loss.
After returning to the station, the squad leader immediately reported the situation to the superiors. However, a Infantry Battalion battalion commander stationed in this area did not take this seriously. Over the years, Kingdom of Ukraine and Buru have clashed on the border many times. As long as you don't suffer a loss, your superiors won't blame you. After all, this kind of thing has happened many times, and they have long been accustomed to it.
However, what Ukraine people didn't expect was that the situation this time was a little different. Because the company commander who was killed had a lot of background. He is the nephew of a commander of Infantry Corps in Buru. The military commander placed him in Border Guards just to accumulate seniority, and he will be transferred back to the field force in two years. But I didn't expect that something like this would happen at this juncture.
This is also the reason why after those Border Guards soldiers escaped and reported to the instructor, the instructor's meeting turned pale.
The instructor did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the situation to his superiors. In less than an hour, Alexander Colonel, the commander of the border division on this section of the border, learned of the situation.
"Asshole! How could Comrade Kabosky be shot and killed by Ukraine people? Didn't he carry him behind? What the hell is going on?" Alexander Colonel looked angry.
Border Guards's status was originally inferior to that of the Field Army, not to mention that Kabosky's uncle was still a commander of the Field Army. He was a serious general with the rank of major general. Although, after Great Purge, the status of the chief military officer has been greatly inferior to that of the chief political officer, it is still not something that a little Border Guards Colonel like him can afford to offend!
"Comrade Division Commander, Comrade Kabosky went to intercept the fugitives and was shot dead by Ukraine people." An officer reported.
Alexander Colonel frowned, he believed that things would not be that simple.
"I want to know the real situation!" Alexander Colonel said with a dark face.
The officer hesitated for a moment and then revealed the real situation Alexander Colonel. When he heard that Kabosky actually treated those refugees like that, Alexander Colonel also felt that this guy deserved it. However, now that Kabosky is dead, this is a big deal!
"Comrade division commander, what should we do now? Do we want to report it?" the officer asked.
Alexander Colonel thought for a while, and then said, "Give 2nd Regiment an order to launch an attack on the Ukraine people. No matter what, we have to avenge comrade Kabosky. In this case, we have an explanation to the superiors."
"Comrade division commander, will this trigger a larger-scale conflict? In that case, it will not end well." The officer was a little worried.
"Don't worry, the Ukraine people are used to being weak. Although they have taken refuge in a good master, they simply don't have the guts to have a large-scale conflict with us. As long as one hundred and eighty Ukraine people can be killed, that will be enough. By then, the death of comrade Kabosky can be put in this conflict In that case, when we reported it, we could say that we were provoked by the Ukraine people, and Comrade Kabosky led the troops to fight back heroically, and finally died for the country. By then, Comrade Kabosky would be a hero!" Alexander Colonel said.
This is what he had in mind. If Kabosky became a hero, then Kabosky's uncle would naturally have nothing to say.
Alexander Colonel's secret order was given immediately. And Regimental Commander of 2nd Regiment is his confidant Lieutenant Colonel Zhelkav. Lieutenant Colonel Zhelkav, faithfully executed the command of Alexander Colonel.
On the evening of June 14, Bolshevik border guards 121st Division 2nd Regiment launched a surprise attack on the 3rd Battalion of the Ukrainian Army 54th Infantry Division 2nd Regiment. However, even though it was suddenly attacked, Ukrainian Army's performance was still remarkable. Although, in terms of military strength, Ukraine troops are at a disadvantage, the gap is not big.
Before the war broke out, Ukrainian Army could be regarded as being trained by German military. The organization of the troops was exactly the same as that of German military. However, there are not as many heavy weapons as German military, and most of the weapons equipped are replaced by German military. For example, German Army is already equipped with Semi-Automatic Rifle, and the replaced Mauser 1898 rifle is sold to these Protectorate. Even though Mauser 1898 rifle last time, World War had already entered service. But even now, the performance is still excellent. What's more, most of these Mauser rifle are improved Mauser 98K, with better performance.
A Infantry Battalion of the Ukrainian Army has thousands of people and is equipped with mortars, infantry guns and light Heavy Machine Gun. Buru Army's group only has more than a thousand people, less than two thousand people. A field battle of the Buru Army, Infantry Division, only has 12,000 people, which is more than 4,000 fewer than German military. In addition, Buru Army's organization also includes a brigade-level organization, so the infantry regiment does not have many troops.
After the battle began, the Ukraine troops were initially panicked, but they quickly calmed down. Especially when they saw Bolshevik border guards suffering heavy losses from their own artillery fire and machine gun fire, they became more and more successful in applying the various tactics taught by Germany instructors. At the same time, the performance of various weapons and equipment was also brought out, which immediately caused Bolshevik border guards to suffer a lot.
Lieutenant Colonel Zhelkav didn't expect that the battle would end like this. He originally thought that launching a surprise attack would cause the Ukraine people to suffer a big loss, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to suffer.
After losing hundreds of people, Bolshevik border guards immediately collapsed, and the remaining troops fled back to Buru territory.
However, their cross-border attack on the Ukraine troops caused the situation to expand again.
