    ~Date:~November 16~

    The political commissar of the Fifth Army of the Soviet Eastern Front, Bloumberg, was a Red Army general with a political background who parachuted into the Fifth Army to monitor the commander Slavin. Slavin's strength in the Fifth Army made most division commanders and political commissars only listen to Slavin.  Raven and Chief of Staff Ehe's.

    Except in front of the Cheka and the political commissars, what the political commissar Blomberg said in front of the division commanders basically had no influence. Of course, it was his duty and responsibility to report to Moscow behind people's backs from time to time.  However, everyone is not surprised. Anyway, with the commander covering him, it is not that easy for the political commissar in the Fifth Army to suppress the counter-revolutionaries or let the Cheka arrest people.

    Bloumberg led the 2nd and 5th Siberian Infantry Divisions, and the 1st Division led by Slavin also started taking action half an hour after setting off. The route was less than 20 kilometers southeast of Briguma.  , advancing toward the northeast.

    The commander of the 2nd Division, Maruski, led the 2nd Division to open the way, followed by the 5th Division led by Bloumberg and Constantine. The whole army did not light torches, but walked northeast in the dark under the hazy moonlight.

    Because we left the main road, it was difficult to walk fast in the wilderness. Half an hour later, the faint sound of artillery ten kilometers to the west clearly meant that Slavin's First Division had encountered a battle with the coalition ground forces.  When the battle started, the Red Army soldiers of the two divisions along the way were sweating for their commander and the division. However, the strength of the three divisions of the Ehe North Route Army could not withstand the attack.

    No matter how good the Hao's Division can fight, it is simply a fantasy to say that it can win the opponent. It can only rely on the six artillery companies and three heavy machine gun battalions that follow the Hao's Division to be effective.  It's obviously much worse than during the day, and everything is unknown.

    Although the commander of the 2nd Siberian Division, Maruski, was leading the way, he felt uncertain. After leaving the command of Army Group Slavin, he suddenly realized that his division had never fought a battle on its own. Breaking through this  At this time, it is most likely to be unlucky to play forward or rear guard, but there are only two divisions in strength, and there is no way to subdivide them.

    Maruski asked Nikolayich, commander of the first brigade of the second division, to open the way ahead. Brigadier Nikolaych bit the bullet and ordered Timoshinsky, commander of the first regiment of the first brigade, to lead the way.  The regiment opened the way. When Slavin's division broke through, it knew that a regiment was placed on each flank, an arrow, and three armies behind it to move forward in a formation.

    Maruski's team formed a long snake formation, with four columns heading northeast in the dark. The good thing is that the team behind them will not go the wrong way, and the team in front will trample the road.  To be honest, when encountering swamps and rivers, everyone will not step into them together. Of course, the same is true when encountering an ambush from the other party.

    Almetyevsk in the northwest is 50 kilometers away from Briguma, and is almost an equilateral triangle with Asnakayevo, where Ishihara currently lives. Therefore, the two divisions led by Bloumberg headed north.  In theory, walking 50 kilometers can parallel Almetyevsk, which means breaking into the arms of the Japanese 7th Cavalry Regiment that has arrived in Aznakayevo!

    "It's a fool's errand. It's impossible for Lao Maozi's two infantry divisions to be faster than our cavalry. Even if they set off an hour or three hours earlier, they could walk 25 kilometers to death. So I judge that it's not that we didn't take the enemy with us, but  They are still hanging around 20 kilometers south of us!" Ishihara smiled with certainty.

    "In this case, should the cavalry reconnaissance squadron explore further south? They just came all the way and the reconnaissance was only ten kilometers away," Hashimoto Goro suggested.

    "No, tell them to search with a net. Each squad is 2 kilometers apart. If they encounter the enemy, they will fire and call the police. I don't believe they can't find the enemy. Send another cavalry squadron to the southwest and southeast. The main force of the rest of the regiment will be in  Rest and arrange the position here. There are two rivers to the east of Aznakayevo. I judge that the opponent is most likely to take the main road of Aznakayevo!" Ishihara's eyes sparkled in the darkness!  .

    "Sir Ishihara, what if the two divisions of the Fifth Army went south?" Hashimoto Goro said coldly, touching his chin.

    "Huh? South? To the south is Yegorov's Ninth Army of the Soviet Southern Front. But it will be hard for them to retreat if they go south. Samara, the way the Ninth Army came from, has been occupied by Sun Liangcheng's Rangers. They are rushing past Sun Liangcheng.  The encirclement will be even more difficult. There is a bend in the Volga River over there. The water is deep and fast. Without a ferry, there is no way to cross the Volga River area. Unless they take a longer way around, Orenburg and the Urals.  On the front line, but there are still Li Mingzhong¡¯s southern roundabout troops waiting there, I¡¯m afraid the Soviet commander can¡¯t make this determination!¡±

    Ishihara Wanji pondered and said that he did not believe that Ufa's coalition headquarters would not consider the possibility of the enemy retreating south, butThe road is very far. Once you set foot on the Kazakh steppe, it is still a question whether you can get out without getting lost. What's more, Orenburg and the Ural line have fallen into the control of the coalition forces. They retreat south on foot.  It is extremely doubtful how close the Soviet Red Army can be to combat effectiveness after marching and trekking 400 kilometers!

    The East Road breakout force of the Fifth Army drove 25 kilometers northward in three hours, which was quite fast for a night march. After resting for 20 minutes, the two divisions continued on the road. This time Constantine was replaced.  The 5th Siberian Division took the lead, and Army Group Political Commissar Blumberg followed Maruski's 2nd Division.

    The commander of the Fifth Division, Constantine, was a well-known wise general among the division commanders of the Fifth Army. He asked the division's reconnaissance battalion to clear the way in front, and lined up three regiments behind him to advance together. He led the four regiments at the back.  The orders given to the three regiment commanders are also fresh. Once the enemy encounters a battle and the battle begins, hold the center and maintain contact. The two regiments on the wings can spread out as far as they can. Don't be afraid that if the wings are stretched too far, the troops will be weak and be broken through.  , just walk to the side, outflank and circle back to the opponent's position, and then encircle!

    In this man's opinion, the main strength of the coalition forces in the north should not be large, otherwise they would not have dispatched only two air raids in one day. The Fifth Army should have been attacked by the enemy's main force long ago. Obviously the opponent last night  After eating 30,000 people from the Ehe North Route Army Group, they either suffered heavy casualties or suffered from indigestion, and were unable to launch a second attack on the Fifth Army in a short period of time.

    In this case, even if the coalition forces discover the direction of action of the Fifth Army at night, they will only take a defensive position to hold back the breaking Soviet Red Army, but will be unable to launch a counterattack and attack. Therefore, Constantine decided to let the troops  Penetrate and break through from both wings, and use the center to attract the opponent, striving to win the first battle and eat the opponent's first line of defense.

    At 22:30 that night, the forwards of the Fifth Division advancing north finally encountered the reconnaissance cavalry squadron sent south by Ishihara to search. Good guy, the strength of the two sides was almost the same. The sound of Japanese cavalry's hooves at night revealed their position. Constant  Ding, the commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion, had rich combat experience. While ordering the messengers to go back and report to the division commander, he used four companies to set up a pocket formation.

    The cavalry reconnaissance squadron of the 7th Japanese Cavalry Regiment has about 210 people and has three squadrons. When it comes to the establishment of the Japanese cavalry regiment, its original number is only one-third of the Japanese infantry regiment, but the Japanese Third Army in the coalition has three squadrons.  The cavalry regiment attached to an infantry division was deliberately strengthened to the same number of troops as the infantry regiment. There were once a cavalry regiment with 3 cavalry brigades and a field artillery battalion, and 1 cavalry regiment with 4  A cavalry squadron, a cavalry squadron has three cavalry squads, and a squad has 70 people!

    In an encounter, it is obvious whoever fires first gets the advantage. The reconnaissance battalion of the Soviet Fifth Siberian Division is well-trained and well-equipped with weapons and equipment. It also has two Maxim heavy machine guns. As soon as the battle begins, the opponent is in the lead.  Almost half of the cavalry squad was wiped out by the hot bullets, and the rest quickly dismounted to find cover and fight back.
