    July 10, 1918, Ufa

    The capital of Kolchak's All-Russian Provisional Government has become the headquarters of the coalition forces west of the Ural Mountains. Wang Geng only left one Russian infantry division stationed on each of the northwest and southeast defense lines, and directly abandoned the first line of defense.  , instead shrinking the formation to the second line of defense. At this time, there are three Russian local troops under the command of the coalition forces: the Ufa First Army, the Ufa Second Army, and the Ufa Second Cavalry Army. A total of ten  A force of ten thousand people.  -<Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work>-(

    The defense of Ufa city was handed over to the newly formed Ufa Volunteer Replenishment Division. In fact, Ufa has become a large military camp. The strong walls and clear fields allowed all the people west of Ufa and the opportunity to evacuate to the Ural Mountains within a month and a half.  To the west, the 45,000 volunteers who remained were now part of the Ufa Second Army's three volunteer divisions, and the remaining one volunteer division supplemented the Ufa city defense force.

    "Eagle Eye 1 reported that three Soviet divisions were found fifty kilometers southwest of Chistopol moving towards Chistopol on the Kamala River!"

    "Eagle Eye 2 reported that no abnormalities were found along the line from Kurmei to Orenburg, and there were no new situations around Orenburg! We are now heading towards Samara for reconnaissance!"

    "Eagle Eye 3 reported that the Soviet-Russian cluster is still camped within five kilometers near Chernigovka, 20 kilometers southwest of Ufa. No abnormalities were found from the air!"

    "Eagle Eye 4 reports that the forward troops of the Soviet Ninth Army, about one cavalry division in strength, have left Pochvestnevo and are advancing along the road to Barbre in the northwest direction!"

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Sun Liangcheng's troops who occupied the Urals last night asked for instructions whether to attack in the direction of Samara as originally planned?"

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Li Mingzhong received a call. They have set off from Kumeltau as planned and are expected to capture Orenburg in the afternoon!"

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that Jiang Hongyu, who captured Almetyevsky last night, asked for instructions on the next course of action!"

    An influx of reconnaissance intelligence and military information was placed in front of the coalition commander-in-chief Wang Geng and the two deputy chiefs of staff Wu Peifu and Utsunomiya Taro.  {Update uploaded by book friends}

    "Tukhachevsky didn't continue to retreat?" Wang Geng didn't believe his ears. According to common sense, this guy should retreat at least fifty to one hundred kilometers, so as to have the opportunity to move and intersperse. The Eastern Front's new southern cluster  After the defeat, even if the strength of nearly ten divisions is basically intact, and the burden of more than 20,000 lightly and seriously injured people will not be easy, this guy really dares to stay in Chernigovka and not leave?

    "This is the situation from aerial reconnaissance, but Hawkeye 3 is still continuing to search to the west!" Tian Jun, director of the war room, who returned to the headquarters, replied.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what should we do with the three infantry divisions of the Russian Fifth Army southwest of Chistopol? They are obviously heading for Chistopol! We only have one Second Ural Cavalry Division there and one  A Japanese cavalry regiment has only half the strength of the opponent!" Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition, frowned. He now vaguely felt that without the Chinese participating troops, he seemed to be a little weak in fighting this battle.

    "Your Excellency Taro, do you have any suggestions?" Wang Geng obviously also felt that things in Chistopol should not be underestimated. Like Taro Utsunomiya, he felt that without the participation of the Chinese participating troops, it would be difficult for the Russian cavalry division to  The team formed with the Japanese cavalry regiment seemed a bit lacking in confidence when using it.

    "I suggest that the Jiang Hongyu mixed armored brigade in Almetyevsk go north to support the cavalry division and cavalry regiment in Chistopol. The mixed armored brigade has strong firepower and good mobility. With their support, they can defeat the opponent.  There shouldn¡¯t be any problem with three infantry divisions. If we rely solely on cavalry divisions, I¡¯m afraid it will be too much to deal with 30,000 more enemies with fewer enemies!¡±

    The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Taro Utsunomiya, is telling the truth. He has spent so many days with Wang Geng, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and he is somewhat inclined to accept Wang Geng's sense of solemnity in killing chickens with a knife.

    "Deputy Chief of Staff Wu, what do you think?" Wang Geng turned to Wu Peifu and asked.

    "It's not impossible to fight like this. A team composed of pure cavalry has enough mobility, but the Second Ural Cavalry Division is still equipped with Russian equipment and its firepower is not strong. It is not a good way to fight with the opponent's superior troops. However, Jiang Hong  If we encounter a mixed armored brigade going north, should we let the cavalry division and cavalry regiment stand in Chistopol waiting for reinforcements?" Wu Peifu also frowned. In his opinion, the Ural Cavalry Division and the Japanese Cavalry Regiment are far away.  There is no ability to deal with the three main infantry divisions of the Fifth Army one by one.

    Wang Geng carefully looked at the distance between several key points on the one-fifty-thousandth combat map, walked back and forth a few steps, pondered for a moment, and raised his head to look.Speaking to his two deputies, he said, "It is obviously not a good idea to use the cavalry division to fight positional battles face to face with the opponent. Chistopol is just a small town on the Kamala River. There is no need to use any tactics of standing still and waiting for reinforcements. If you want to  That¡¯s not what we do!¡±

    As Wang Geng walked to the map, he drew an arrow from Chistopol to the south, and then drew an arrow from Chistopol to Almetyevsk, and then from Almetyevsk to Almetyevsk.  A long arrow was drawn in the direction of Chistopol.

    "What the commander-in-chief means is to lure the enemy deep into an ambush halfway?" Wu Peifu was the first to react.

    "I think this will work. If Jiang Hongyu's mixed armored brigade comes out, and the cavalry division and cavalry regiment are outflanked from behind, and we send out the aviation team for air support, we can definitely kill the three infantry divisions of the opponent!" Utsunomiya Taro!  His eyes lit up.

    "That's it, send a message to the Second Ural Cavalry Division in Chistopol, asking them to leave a cavalry battalion to station in Chistopol, and the rest of the main force will leave Chistopol and go south, fifty kilometers south.  The cavalry battalion remaining in Chistopol waited for the enemy's three infantry divisions to approach, and then retreated towards Almetyevsk. They could not retreat too fast, otherwise they would fight.  Withdraw, hold the other party and don¡¯t let go!¡±

    Wang Geng had obviously made the decision to lure the enemy deep into the ambush of the three divisions on the North Road of the Fifth Army. The man then said,

    "Send a report to Jiang Hongyu's department, asking him to lead a mixed armored brigade to set off from Almetyevsk, about 40 kilometers southeast of Chistopol. From the map, there are three rivers converging there. At that  Place pockets locally and prepare to ambush the opponent's three divisions with a mixed armored brigade! He decides how to arrange the specific positions! "

    "Sodisdis! I understand, Commander-in-Chief, after the battle begins, let the Ural Second Cavalry Division and the Cavalry Regiment come back from the west to outflank the opponent's retreat, and the battle will be over! But Chief of Staff Chiang has only  If a mixed armored brigade has to deal with three times as many enemy troops at the beginning, will it be a little short of strength?" Utsunomiya Taro's response was not slow, and he was right on point!

    "Your Excellency Taro, you can rest assured that the firepower of an armored brigade of the Chinese participating army far exceeds that of the opponent's three Soviet infantry divisions. In addition, the aviation team is dispatched. Even without the participation of the Ural Cavalry Division and the Cavalry Regiment, it will still be eaten.  These three divisions of the opponent!" Wu Peifu, deputy chief of staff of the coalition and commander of the Chinese Third Army, said proudly.

    "Send a report to Sun Liangcheng's Ministry in the Urals, asking them to continue to use the banner of the Kazakh Alash Autonomous Republic, dispatch the main force northwest from the Urals, and seize the Samara Reservoir area 240 kilometers away and the Volga River crossing within three days.  !¡±

    "Send a report to Li Mingzhong. After his troops captured Orenburg, the main force established positions in the direction of Kumertau and Orenburg, and blocked the southern exit of the Ufa Plain! And sent the Third Ural Cavalry Division to roll northwest  attack, demanding the capture of Sorochinsk and Buzuluk within three days.¡±

    "Let Hawkeye 3 find the location of the main force of the Southern Cluster as soon as possible. Tukhachevsky is just a fool and he should know that retreating to the west is the best way. I don't believe he dares to continue to station these 100,000 people away from home."  So close to Ufa!¡±

    "Inform Petrovich and Sergey and ask them to send a cavalry division to tentatively attack the opponent's position in Chernigovka. Don't be too eager to fight. Just get a clear idea of ??the opponent's position! It's best to run around the opponent's camp.  Come and take a closer look!¡±

    The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces made up his mind and issued a series of combat orders. The gears of the Battle of Ufa started rolling again!
