    After Wang Geng finally calmed down Utsunomiya Taro, he turned around and couldn't help but ask,

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, although the Ehe cluster and the Lezhevsky cluster have been successfully resolved, the enemy in front of us still has five armies with nearly 200,000 troops. Wu Sang only led more than 90,000 people to attack. Will there be any strength?  Too thin? Tukhachevsky must be careful! And these 90,000 people are Russian troops. Without the support of the Chinese participating troops and the Imperial Army, will the situation be unstoppable? "

    Wang Geng smiled slightly when he heard this, took out a cigar and lit it, and then explained,

    "The two Russian generals, Petrovich and Sergei, are battle-hardened, one is a fierce general and the other is a wise general. Moreover, the mortars and machine gun firepower of these two cavalry divisions are based on the establishment of the Chinese participating armies. Last time, Peter  Rovich's brigade fought against Chapayev's cavalry division and won the battle, so with these two cavalry divisions taking the lead, they could overtake the enemy without overpowering the situation and being counterattacked!  "

    "As for the four White Guard divisions of the First Army of Ufa, they have gone through the test of the Ufa Defense War, and there are also many veterans of Tsarist Russia here. The maximum density of Maxim machine guns is also high. We have also strengthened them.  Mortar to battalion level and platoon level [cmi].

    Expecting them to attack may not be a success. Digging trenches and positional defense are now definitely able to withstand one or two!  Sergey Balayanov, the commander of the First Army of Ufa, was very calm in the encirclement war. You see, he could surround the Rzhevski Group with 30,000 people with only four divisions!  "

    At this point, Taro Utsunomiya couldn't help but said, "But the three Russian recruit divisions of the First Siberian Army have only been trained for less than a month. Isn't it a bit hasty to go to the battlefield? Wu only has the main force of an armored reconnaissance battalion around him, and the recruits  Will the master lose his link when the time comes?"

    "Haha, don't be afraid of losing the chain, Mr. Taro. The Russian recruit division is equipped with a Japanese 38-gun. This gun has stable ballistics and high shooting accuracy. It is suitable for recruits. If they are equipped with M1903 Springfield type, it may not be accurate. As for giving  Their M1 Garand is simply a waste of automatics. It is better to use the 38-gun. It can only be fired once it is pulled, which is good for reducing the tension of the recruits!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The chief officers of the divisions, regiments, battalions and companies are all selected from the coalition commanders at all levels, the soldiers will not be easily intimidated!  In terms of his ability to lead troops on the front line, Wu Sang is a very good player. I believe that if you give him these ingredients, he can make a good meal!  "

    Wang Geng spoke with full confidence and looked at Utsunomiya Taro with a smile.  ¡¾cm¡¡£üI&|¡¿

    General Utsunomiya looked at Wang Geng suspiciously. If Wu Peifu led an attack with even 30,000 people as the main force of the coalition, he felt that he would be more certain of victory than the current Russian army with nearly 90,000 people. However, now that the troops have already attacked, there is no need to fight again.  Obviously it doesn't make much sense either.

    It¡¯s already getting dark. I guess the troops have already started preparing to camp, right?  The young commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in front of him does not seem to be a guy who can endure hardships. It would be a joke if these Russian recruits went out for the first time and their legs were lame before a battle. Wu Peifu's battle plan is the cavalry first.  Today, the second army will stick to the enemy on the front line of Acehkovo, while the First Army of Ufa will advance along the main road and camp 20 kilometers away from Acehkovo by 10 p.m.

    And the three Russian recruit divisions of the First Siberian Army that followed the group headquarters, their campsite that day was ten kilometers behind the First Army of Ufa!

    "Report! Briguma, the armored reconnaissance battalion of Xiong Shihui's troops, was besieged by no less than one division of the Soviet Fifth Army. The opponent probably had at least six artillery companies and three heavy machine gun battalions with firepower. It is suspected that the fifth  The main force of the Group Army's South Route Army, the armored reconnaissance battalion has taken the initiative to retreat to the northwest according to the order of Lieutenant General Xiong Shihui. Xiong Shihui's department asked whether the main force in Almetyevsk needs to go south to meet the enemy? "

    "Huh?" Wang Geng and Utsunomiya were both surprised when they heard this. Wang Geng turned around and asked, "Are you sure it's the main force of the Fifth Army's South Route Army? There's no reason for the other party to move so fast, right?"

    From the map, it seems that at most the Ninth Army and the Fifth Army are converging. These two armies started fighting northward without waiting for the main force of the Southern Cluster to converge?

    Tian Jun, director of the war room who was holding the telegram, nodded affirmatively. Apparently he was surprised when he got the urgent telegram. It was already dark, but the Soviet Red Army actually took action?  Are you still taking the initiative to attack northwest?

    "Are you sure it's in Briguma?" Wang Geng asked again!

    "Five kilometers southeast of Briguma, the armored reconnaissance battalion originally thought it was the opponent's reconnaissance force. Unexpectedly, a whole division suddenly surrounded them in the dark field. Then the artillery and heavy machine guns behind them also rang. Under the enemy's shelling  The Lower Armored Reconnaissance Battalion lost 3 wheeled vehiclesA tank, with about twenty casualties, has now withdrawn to a position fifteen kilometers northwest of Briguma to wait for main support!  Tian Jun looked at the telegram and added.

    Upon hearing this, Wang Geng quickly walked to the one-fifty-thousandth combat map hanging on the wall. A combat staff member came up and marked a location 15 kilometers northwest of Briguma, and five kilometers southeast of Briguma where the two sides were fighting.  Made a mark.

    "What do you think Slavin is up to? He is determined that we only have one armored reconnaissance battalion in the north? His Northern Route Army was just wiped out in the north 20 hours ago, and his Southern Route Army only has 3  With the strength of a division, you dare to attack northward?" Wang Geng was obviously surprised.

    Taro Utsunomiya also walked quickly to the map, put up his monocle and lay on the map to read for a long time. He turned around and said, "Is this revenge for the surrender of Eh and Lezhevsky? We need to take advantage of the possibility that our main force can return."  When we are at Chistopol, use three divisions and all the artillery and heavy machine guns to eat up our armored reconnaissance battalion in one go? "

    Wang Geng was speechless after hearing this, and was still thinking about what moves the Soviet Red Army was playing. Here Tian Jun said coldly,

    "Is it possible that the enemy wants to withdraw? The Rzhevsky cluster has laid down its weapons and surrendered. They now have no air superiority, lack air defense weapons, and half of their food has been destroyed by air strikes. It is a bit foolish to attack Ufa again.  , so that Slavin of the Fifth Army wants to retreat?"

    "Retreat? He only has three divisions of troops. He doesn't wait for the Ninth Army and the Southern Cluster to form a group before retreating, so he runs away first? Isn't he afraid of running into the main force of the coalition and repeating the mistakes of the Northern Route Army?  "Utsunomiya Taro was a little hard to understand.

    "The Soviet Red Army must have begun to retreat! At least the Fifth Army must be retreating. Let Hawkeye 3 focus on reconnaissance of the Fifth Army's location during the day to see if they have already left the place under the cover of night!  Inform Xiong Shihui's armored reconnaissance battalion not to withdraw too far, find a way to stick to the enemy's forward, and ask Xiong Shihui to send a regiment of troops south to prepare to meet the armored reconnaissance battalion!  The two wings sent out scouts to conduct reconnaissance."

    Wang Geng suddenly realized that the enemy might really want to run away, so he issued a series of orders.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid that if you only send one regiment to deal with three enemy divisions, you won't have enough strength, and you won't have time to establish a position at night!" Utsunomiya Taro felt that the situation was a bit tricky and couldn't help but remind him!

    "It may not be useful to have too many black people in the sky. The key is to find out the enemy's intentions. The enemy is mainly infantry. They can't run 50 kilometers in one night in the dark." Wang Geng turned around and looked at the map carefully, thinking.  After a while, he continued,

    "Order Jiang Hongyu's troops to send the 2nd Ural Cavalry Division southward and arrive at Nurrat before early tomorrow morning to block the enemy's retreat to Simbirsk. I suspect that the opponent's Fifth Army's northward advance is just a false shot.  After their North Route Army's Aihe cluster was destroyed, it was clear that the main force of our ground troops appeared in the northwest. At this time, he attacked north, probably to make a false shot and then retreat westward!" The more Wang Geng thought about it, the more he felt like this!  possible.

    "Send the 2nd Ural Cavalry Division? Why not send the 2nd Mixed Armored Brigade? The firepower of the 2nd Ural Cavalry Division is much weaker than the armored brigade. My Russians cannot stop the enemy on their own!" Utsunomiya Taro couldn't help but said, this  Sisi has never had much confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Russian White Guards.

    "No, the Second Ural Cavalry Division was sent to Nurhat just as a precaution. The Fifth Army now has almost no cavalry. They just risked their lives to run westward and couldn't cover 70 kilometers in one night.  It is a full 130 kilometers from Briguma to Nurrat, so the cavalry division will definitely be able to defeat the enemy there!" Wang Geng said confidently.

    "So what about Jiang Hongyu's mixed armored brigade? This afternoon they have received a supply of fuel, ammunition and food 50 kilometers northwest of Almetyevsk. The transport convoy transported the supplies from Almetyevsk.  "Utsunomiya obviously has much more confidence in the mixed armored brigade.

    "They have almost rested for a day during the day. Now they have to work hard for them. Let Jiang Hongyu lead the mixed armored brigade to move southeast, and close the gap to the west of Almetyevsk before midnight today! By the way, the Japanese 7th Division  Where is the cavalry regiment at this moment?" Wang Geng turned to ask Utsunomiya Taro, and Tian Jun rushed to answer,

    ¡°After the Japanese 7th Cavalry Regiment escorted the prisoners of the Ekh Cluster to Almetyevsk, they still rested there!¡±

    "Sogar! The Japanese Seventh Cavalry Regiment is always ready to contribute to the Battle of Ufa. Commander-in-Chief, what tasks do you plan to assign to them?" Utsunomiya Taro said with eyes shining.

    "Notify the 7th Cavalry Regiment."They were asked to set off overnight, advance from Almetyevsk to Dongso, and report immediately if they discovered the enemy!  "Wang Geng frowned and stared at the open land from Almetyevsk to Ufa on the map.

    "If the Soviet Red Army wants to retreat, they should go west, right? Will they run east?" Utsunomiya Taro said suspiciously.

    Wang Geng thought for a while and explained, "I always feel that the other side may be playing some tricks. The strength of the Fifth Army is absolutely impossible to challenge the main force of the coalition forces that annihilated the Ehe Cluster on its own. Since he is now attacking northwest, then I will  Beware of his detour to the northeast, our transportation lines and logistics lines are still relatively fragile!"
