    "Call back to Li Mingzhong and tell him not to rush. The attack will not be until noon tomorrow at the earliest, and then we will attack all the way along the south road to Orenburg. From Sterli Tamak to the south, the main force of the Soviet Fourth Army will be  There are no troops left, and starting from tomorrow afternoon, he must go all the way south to regain the towns of Ishimbai, Saravat, Meleuz, and Kumeltau -< Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work >-).

    Well, Orenburg is also left to the Southern Route Army to deal with. Where is the position of Sun Liangcheng's Southern Detachment Rangers now?  Have you reached the outskirts of the Urals?  "Wang Geng continued to ask.

    "Sun Liangcheng's detachment has left a regiment of troops lurking southeast of Orenburg. The rest of the main force has arrived ten kilometers northwest of the Urals and is waiting for your order!" Tian Jun replied quickly.

    "Commander-in-Chief, is Li Mingzhong's Southern Route Army sending a brigade to turn around and go north to prevent Tukhachevsky from sending cavalry to detour from the south?" Wu Peifu was a little anxious.

    "No! Li Mingzhong's troops continue to go south. After capturing Kumeltau, they will establish a position there. The pockets on the southern front will first be positioned at Kumeltau, Orenburg. Sun Liangcheng's troops are ordered to capture Ural tomorrow afternoon. According to the plane  According to the reconnaissance, there are only some scattered local units of the Soviet Red Army in Ural and Orenburg. The main force of the Fourth Army of the Southern Cluster has already arrived in Ufa. Tell him to fight decisively! "

    Wang Geng walked around for a few times and decided to make a big bag. If it weren't for the fact that Sterli Tamak, Ishimbai, Saravat, and Meleuz all went south to Kumertau and Orenburg.  This guy may not let Li Mingzhong take these places as he must.

    "General Wu, you don't need to be too anxious. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief has already predicted the possibility of the enemy turning around from the south. However, the Ufa River over there is wide and fast, and Tukhachevsky's cavalry will never be able to do so in the middle of the night.  Forcibly crossing the river, judging from the map, if they really take a detour from the south, they will have to go 50 kilometers south to find a suitable ferry. By then, the day lilies will be cold!" Army General Utsunomiya Taro said in a relaxed tone.  road.

    "Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, what I am considering is to let the opponent take a long way to cross the river with all the hardships, and we will wait for him in Ufa. The core position of Ufa's southeastern defense line is the high ground west of Hexi, which is Sergey's headquarters.  In their current position, after they return to Hedong, the only thing that can threaten Sergey and Petrovich is the high ground in Hedong, which is about five kilometers away. Unless they bring heavy artillery, they will not be able to use their strength at all! "

    Wang Geng was obviously a bit careful in calculating and using his troops. He did not intend to scatter the main force of the coalition forces to expose their strength prematurely. He also let Tukhachevsky's cavalry take a long detour from the south and cross two rivers.  It's a roundabout way, but it won't be so easy to cross the river if he wants to withdraw!

    "This highland is less than 8 kilometers away from your heavy artillery group in Ufa city. If Tukhachevsky deploys artillery here to threaten our defense line in Hexi, he will have to go through a lot of trouble to transport the artillery.  If we go up there, we won¡¯t be able to withstand a heavy 150mm artillery bombardment from you. Besides, if necessary, we can dispatch the air force at any time. At that time, I¡¯m afraid that Tukhachevsky¡¯s cavalry will have nowhere to go!¡±

    The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces wanted to dispel Wu Peifu's doubts. Interludes and detours were the specialty of Wu Peifu's Third Division, so he was particularly concerned about whether his opponent would use this move. If he knew that his opponent would use this move, then he would think about what to do.  Make a pocket and let others dig into it, and then catch them all.

    If his Third Army was defending the Ufa southeast cluster position, then he would not worry at all. The problem was that the combat effectiveness of the White Guards and volunteers defending there was still weak. If a large number of enemy cavalry appeared behind the position, he would be afraid.  When the team shakes, this front will collapse!

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I looked at the map carefully. If we can defend this highland east of the river, it will be of great help in protecting the flanks of the Southeast Cluster. Assuming that the opponent is a cavalry unit to detour, there will definitely not be too much  We have many heavy weapons. I think you might consider General Wu¡¯s suggestion. If possible, we can send an infantry regiment to strengthen a field artillery regiment to defend this high ground. What do you think?¡±

    Seeing that the situation was almost over, Utsunomiya Taro finally took the initiative and wanted to send troops to guard this high ground. The Imperial Japanese Army had its own honor, but now the limelight was taken away by the Ufa White Guards and the Volunteer Division. This made the Japanese coach anxious to find  Give your subordinates a chance to show off.

    "Well, if you don't want to dispatch the air force, setting up an artillery position on this high ground is still very deterrent, but if there are too many people, it will easily scare the opponent's roundabout troops. Mr. Taro, let the Japanese Army also exercise its muscles.  Otherwise, all the good things will be taken up by the Russian comrades. We will send a Japanese field artillery regiment and a Japanese infantry brigade up overnight, and I will reinforce the Chinese equipment for you.What do you think about the mobile strength of Battalion A, and the strength of a regiment drawn from the White Guard division in reserve?  "

    Before Wang Geng finished speaking, Taro Utsunomiya was beaming and before he could say yes, Wu Peifu couldn't help shouting, "Hey, Commander-in-Chief, this is my idea. If possible, let Taro's subordinates take over this job."  Go? I also want to seize some big horses from the Don River to ride on!"

    "Hey! Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, you can't argue with me about this. Whether it's the Southern Route Army, the Northern Route Army, or Sun Liangcheng's Rangers, our Japanese Army has no complaints at all when we attack you, right? It's such a small hilltop position.  You're still robbing me, you're not very interesting!" Utsunomiya shouted with a wave of his arms.

    Wu Peifu still wanted to fight, so Wang Geng waved his hand and said, "There will be wars, so there is no need to fight now. The Japanese Army has its own strengths and characteristics of being hardworking and hardworking. If your Third Army can learn from others, remember to learn a few more tricks.  It is said that defense is like chewing bones. I have never seen anyone who doesn¡¯t want to eat meat but just chew bones. The Third Army is ready and may send you into battle at any time! I¡¯ll see what you can do if you can¡¯t catch up with Tukhachevsky.  Compete with others!¡±

    Wu Peifu calmed down. For Wang Geng, Ufa is now a large military camp. He has nothing to bear to have those pots and jars of Kolchak smashed, but Utsunomiya and Wu Peifu are both the same.  The master who refused to suffer a loss, knowing that Tukhachevsky was likely to send troops to outflank him, did not react, pretending to be nonchalant and waiting for others to come to him, which drove these two people crazy.

    So in the end, Wang Geng gave in and sent troops to occupy the high ground. It was also an option to be at the horns of Hexi Sergey and his others. "I made an agreement! Originally, I said that I would not defend the high ground until the Soviet Red Army occupied it.  We'll use heavy artillery and aviation to beat him up. Now you just want to win the positional battle, but don't let the cavalry swarm up to the high ground and hand over your cannon. Then I can  How dare you tear down Ma Su¡¯s work!¡±

    "Hai! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. With the armored battalion you strengthened, no cavalry can rush forward. 40 FD17II wheeled armored combat vehicles equipped with caliber heavy machine guns are lined up. In addition,  With the accompanying firepower of the vehicle-mounted infantry, the ones who can charge forward are not cavalry, they have to be flying people with wings!" Utsunomiya Taro stood at attention with a big belly and said confidently.

    "What's so strange about this? If it were my people to defend it, there would be no need for a field artillery regiment or an infantry brigade. I would lead an armored regiment to defend that high ground. If I didn't beat the opponent to a pulp, I wouldn't call him Wu Peifu!  "The deputy chief of staff of the coalition said reluctantly.

    "Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, sincere unity is more important than anything else. The coalition forces need to constantly adapt and improve. At the same time, they must help Kolchak's White Guards improve their combat level and capabilities. That's why they are called coalition forces. That's why they are used in conjunction.  The White Guards Infantry Division is no worse at digging trenches than your Third Army. Working together is the end of coalition building! Of course, the song "Three Major Disciplines and Nine Points of Attention" must continue to be sung to me, in Japanese version and  Have you learned the Russian version?¡±

    Wang Geng's face turned pale. To be able to integrate the coalition forces into a joint combat force regardless of nationality and arms in a short period of time is not an easy task. Both trust and friendship require the training of battles and fighting side by side to survive together.  After sharing weal and woe, it slowly emerged and grew. The three parts of China, Japan and Russia in the current coalition are actually only in the initial stage of running-in.

    "Commander-in-Chief, when will this defensive operation reach its peak? Lao Wu, I always feel like I am fighting a mouse in a china shop and I can't stop!" Wu Peifu asked with a grin.

    "That's right! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please rely on me. Our entire army will surround you on both sides, and the air fleet will conduct intensive bombing. In less than three days, we will be able to wipe out the tens of thousands of people facing Tukhachevsky."  "Eight, why did you miss the opportunity to make dumplings for the two reinforcements?" Taro Utsunomiya slapped his thigh and complained.
