Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone came forward to take a look, but it turned out that if they did not occupy this high ground, the Red Army could place artillery positions here. If they were condescending, the artillery fire would not only threaten the edge of Ufa city in the northeast, but also directly control the banks of the Ural River.  , and threaten the White Guard positions on the Ural River on the east side of the highland!

    "Lezhevski is right! The White Guards commander in Ufa is a smart man. This high ground is of vital importance to the defense of Ufa's southern position. If they don't occupy it first, then we can set up the artillery and directly  We can bombard the city of Ufa! The opponent is so cunning!" Chief of Staff Ma Xin pointed at the high tunnel on the map.  .

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? .  .  A noise.  .  .  The several cavalry division commanders and political commissars in the conference room obviously understood the meaning of the commanders and chief of staff's words. The Ufa enemy opposite was not simple!

    "Comrade Commander, to the south is the rugged Ural River that runs across the south of Ufa. It is too difficult to cross the river in the dark. How about we go around the north and cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway? Although the other side has armored trains, if we cross it in the dark  The railway has been blasted and his armored train cannot pass, so we can take advantage of it and directly outflank Ufa's flanks and rear!" Chapayev, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, obviously has not given up yet.

    Several division commanders and political commissars were discussing in the conference room, and it was obvious that most of them did not agree with taking any rash action tonight, for various reasons.

    "In this way, the troops were divided into two groups. A cavalry division went to the north. After eating and drinking in the first half of the night, they set off in the second half of the night. In the early morning, when the enemy was most sleepy, the cavalry division launched an attack, cut off the railway, and then crossed the railway along the way.  Copy to the rear of Ufa's northwest defense line, and Ufa city may be empty, and it's possible to take it down with a single charge!" Tukhachevsky pondered for a while, and had a plan in mind!  He raised his head and said decisively.

    "If the troops are divided into two groups, how about three cavalry divisions going to the south? Isn't it difficult to cross the river in the dark?" Ma Xin, chief of staff of the cluster and commander of the Second Group Army, said doubtfully.

    "Two cavalry divisions go to the south to make a detour and walk fifteen kilometers south along the Ural River. Right here we cross the river at Belozovka. Looking at the map, there should be an abandoned ferry there.  , you can find a way to get some boats from there or force the crossing directly. The river is not too wide. Send engineers to cross the river first, and then pull up the wire and lead the horses to get across! We will set off in the middle of the night and cross the river at dawn!" Tuha said!  Chevsky hit Belozovka hard!

    The division commanders and political commissars of several cavalry divisions looked at each other, obviously a little flustered by the bold idea of ??their group commander. From the map, the cavalry divisions on the circuitous north road were obviously used as bait. Is there a railway line patrolled by armored trains?  It is so easy to destroy and sneak over, and the distance is not close. If you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the defenders of Ufa's northwest defense line, you have to go at least five to ten kilometers further west and north. The situation there is completely different.  The reconnaissance has not been clear yet. If the White Guards dug their pockets and waited for the cavalry division to penetrate them, they would be killed!

    In contrast, the roundabout troops on the southern route can take advantage of the enemy's loopholes. What they have to deal with is the Ural River. Since there is no requirement to cross the Ural River in the middle of the night, what are they afraid of waiting for dawn?  Find a suitable place to cross the river, at least it will not be like jumping into the tiger's mouth like the detour troops on the North Road. If the enemy is alerted, not only the armored patrol trains from the northwest direction of Kazan can come to support, but also the enemies in Ufa City here  You can also easily turn around and head north to attack from a flank!

    "Comrade Chief of Staff, Deputy Commander, I have made up my mind to carry out this two-pronged detour. Tomorrow morning we will use artillery fire to suppress the enemies on the frontal defense line and attract their attention. When the detour troops are in place to outflank us, we will launch a general attack! All in one go.  Take Ufa! How about it, let the members of the Southern Cluster Front Military Committee vote!" Tukhachevsky was inspired by his bold and roundabout decision, and looked at Ma Xin in front of him with a confident and slightly fanatical light.  And Lezhevsky, as for the political commissar Yankov Gayi, he is his die-hard partner and will never stand up against him easily.

    With that said, Tukhachevsky first raised his hand, and then his political commissar Yankov also raised his hand. Ma Xin looked at the cluster commander and political commissar who had already raised their hands. Here Ma Xin's partner  , the political commissar of the Second Army, Kharchenko, was looking at him, and the political commissar of the Fourth Army, Khlveshin, was obviously waiting for his partner Lezhevsky to express his position first before deciding his position.

    Unexpectedly, Chief of Staff Ma Xin had not raised his hand yet. Here, Deputy Commander of the Southern Cluster and Commander of the Fourth Army Lezheski raised his hand first and said in a rough voice,

    "I support the combat plan drawn up by Comrade Mikhail Nikolayevich, and suggest that the southern route detour troops use three cavalry divisions instead of two. This way, when they detour a long way back to the enemy's rear, they can still recover if something goes wrong.  **firm??Fight without being alone!  "

    This guy raised his hand, and his deputy Hevesin quickly raised his hand to express his agreement. Ma Xin cursed in his stomach and raised his hand in a hurry. Naturally, his political commissar Kharchenko was not to be far behind, and also  Then he raised his hand!

    "Very good! Comrades, all members of the Southern Cluster Front Military Committee voted and unanimously approved the cluster headquarters' operational plan for outflanking the enemy's rear in two roundabout ways! Comrades! The final victory must belong to us!" Tukhachevsky  Before he finished speaking, the eight generals, namely the commanders of the four cavalry divisions and the political commissars, heard the words "Victory must belong to us" and raised their arms as if conditioned to react and shouted:

    "Ula!"

    At the same time, in Ufa City, in the war room of the headquarters of the coalition commander-in-chief Wang Geng, a combat meeting was being held in full swing.

    The citizens and engineers and soldiers representatives who stayed in Ufa even held a small celebration parade in the square in front of the municipal government in the evening to celebrate that the Ufa defenders repelled the Soviet Red Army's first offensive in the afternoon and gave the enemy a victory.  Heavy damage!

    Wang Gengduan is sitting at the head of the conference room. On the left are the coalition generals, including his Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu, Deputy Chief of Staff Wu Peifu and Deputy Chief of Staff Taro Utsunomiya. On the right are the generals of the Ufa White Guard Army. In fact, only the former enemy commander of the Northwest Group b.  Pepelyaev, the former enemy commander of the Southeast Group Alexander Petrovich, and Petrovich's chief of staff Sergey were also specially invited by Wang Geng to attend the meeting.

    As for the other division commanders of the White Guards, they do not know at this moment that the coalition forces have moved their headquarters to the city of Ufa. They only know that the people behind this battle are the people from the coalition headquarters. As for how many troops the coalition forces dispatched, it is also a problem for them.  Mystery, confidentiality is a must. A military restricted area was set up around Wu Peifu's artillery position, and it was surrounded by curtains to isolate the public. Not only were there many sentries nearby, but there were also patrols and pickets in an endless stream, and no birds could fly in.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, today my northwest defense line completely crippled an infantry division attacked by the Soviet Red Army. Of course, I ordered you to stop shooting at the enemy's wounded soldiers and let the opponent's medical soldiers and stretcher carriages rescue the people."  , I reserve my own personal opinion, but you must know that the hands of the Soviet Red Army are stained with the blood of our White Guard soldiers and their families. This is a life-and-death struggle! The methods of blood and fire are not a unilateral patent of the Bolsheviks!"

    b. After Pepelyaev read out the congratulatory message sent by Kolchak, the nominal top executive of the All-Russian Provisional Government, he was half boasting and half complaining.

    Wang Geng smiled and said nothing when he heard this. On the other side, the deputy chief of staff and commander of the Japanese Third Army, Utsunomiya Taro, proudly pointed out:

    "B. Your Excellency Pepelyaev, I may call you Your Excellency the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Please believe that the relationship between our Commander-in-Chief and the wounded soldiers of the Soviet Red Army opposite us, whether public or private, is no deeper than yours!

    Let me tell you the truth. Compared with the 3,000 corpses of the dead that can be discarded at any time, the more than 3,000 crying and wailing Red Army wounded and sick patients who lack medical care and need to be cared for and cared for by Tukhachevsky are more to the arrogant Tukhachevsky.  The burden, pressure and trouble caused by the commander of the Southern Cluster of the Red Army and the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army troops in front of the position are much greater!  "

    "Uh! So that's it I've learned a lesson!" b.  Pepelyaev suddenly understood, and while exchanging glances with the equally astonished Alexander Petrovich, he nodded hurriedly!
