    ? 6:30 on July 13, 1918, 120 kilometers south of Ufa, in the northwest suburbs of Sterli Tamak town

    If Tukhachevsky knew that the cavalry battalion stationed in Sterli Tamak was actually equipped with a radio, then he would definitely not have allowed his infantry division to appear in front of the opponent. This would be tantamount to calling the coalition forces.  Tukhachevsky and the main force of the First Army of the Soviet Eastern Front are here. If you have the ability, come after me!

    The town of Steerli Tamak, which is destined to become a famous historical town, is located almost due south of Ufa, with a straight-line distance of about 120 kilometers. If Tukhachevsky knew that the cavalry battalion surrounded in the town had a radio station, then the other party would  As long as a radio warning is issued before being annihilated, in theory, the fighter planes of the Allied Air Force will appear in the sky over the town of Sterli Tamak in half an hour at the earliest.

    Tukhachevsky did not know this, and neither did Chapayev. More importantly, the three infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade of the First Army stayed up almost all night to rush forward in the stormy night.  After a night's journey, the entire army was almost exhausted and could no longer move.

    Entering the town of Sterlitamark, living in the house, lighting a fire to cook and sleep, all the beautiful yearnings were beckoning to this embarrassed army. Unexpectedly, Chapayev and Tukhachevsky were killed by a mere coalition cavalry.  The battalion was scared away or retreated. Just kidding, three divisions and a brigade cannot take down a town guarded by one cavalry battalion. If this were the case, Tukhachevsky and the soldiers of the First Army would really be knocked down head-on.

    Chapayev regretted it afterwards. Several cannons that he had been reluctant to throw away during the storm last night were finally lightly armed and abandoned after falling into the swamp. This made it possible that although there were three divisions and one brigade, the artillery and Mark  There were no Qin heavy machine guns. All the heavy machine gun battalions of the First Army had long been left to the traitor Rzhevsky along with one of his cavalry regiments. When he thought of Rzhevsky laying down his weapons, he could not help but lose 30,000 soldiers.  The future of the Red Army soldiers, even his entire cavalry regiment had become the spoils and prisoners of the coalition forces, Chapayev's heart was filled with rage!

    There were no machine guns or cannons. If Tukhachevsky really wanted to run away, Li Fugui would not have the guts to chase him. They had a brigade of cavalry. He dared to say that he could resist in defense, but he would not dare to fire like this in attack.  It's just a joke. Of course Tukhachevsky can't run away. It's just a joke. It's just a coalition cavalry battalion. If I can't take it down, will Tukhachevsky still be in the Red Army in the future?

    Standing on a small highland in the northwest of the town, he looked through the telescope at the town 2,500 meters away. After looking for a long time, Tukhachevsky put down the telescope and said to the division commanders and political commissars around him,

    "The coalition forces are really talented. In such a town, a mere cavalry battalion killed more than 500 people, but they were able to build the positions and fortifications in a decent way. It seems like it took a lot of effort. What should I do?  "We will continue to lie hidden in the mud and water in the field, watching the enemy laugh at our divisions being stumped by an opposing cavalry battalion?" Tukhachevsky's tone was full of self-deprecation.

    "What is there to do? Comrade Commander, the soldiers are exhausted from a night of rapid marching in the rain. Let them sleep for two hours, and then we will capture the town with one charge and completely wipe out the coalition cavalry battalion.  , take a good breath and avenge the soldiers who died under the city of Ufa!" The person who spoke was Chopov, the commander of the 15th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army, a gloomy guy with a stubble on his face.

    "Comrade Commander, we should win the battle quickly, but all the soldiers haven't slept a wink all night. You see, at least 70% of them fell to the ground and fell asleep in just this moment. Don't look at the last 2500 meters.  It's really hard to move without rest, and the soldiers are so tired that they can't even eat!" Vorelev, the commander of the 20th Iron Army Division, swallowed hard.

    "Otherwise, we can go around it. If a fight breaks out and the coalition air force is summoned, it will be unworthy. Our mission is to retreat. The farther the better, the faster the better, so as to avoid the enemy air force.  "Our mission is to withdraw to the left bank of the Volga River as soon as possible. To destroy this cavalry battalion is a waste of time!" Hashimov, the commander of the 31st Turkestan Infantry Division, muttered in a low voice.

    "What did you say?! Say it again?! My cavalry battalion drove all night for the whole army. It was as tired as a dog. Just now, a platoon of cavalry from the other side defeated almost two of my cavalry companies.  How can this debt be settled?! If I don't take revenge, I won't let you infantry interfere! I won't stop until I burn this town to the ground!

    When the time comes, don¡¯t come and ask me to seize it. I¡¯ve never seen the enemy cavalry¡¯s mounted rifles before. When they were beating, they didn¡¯t even pull the bolt, and the firepower was so fierce!  It¡¯s time for my guard battalion to change its uniforms!  It's time for you?Just be jealous!  "

    As he spoke, Chapayev pushed Hashimov hard, who was tightly holding his collar. Hashimov staggered and sat down on the muddy ground, splashing mud all over his buttocks, and his face was pale and pale.  One, his eyes were burning with anger, but he didn¡¯t dare to actually fight Chapayev!

    "Political commissar, inform all the cavalry division soldiers to rest for half an hour! Take the time to eat something hot. I will step into the town at 7 o'clock sharp and kill all the chickens, dogs, and prisoners!" Chapayev turned and faced  Political Commissar Furmanov, who was exhausted and still had a slight injury on his leg, shouted,

    Before his political commissar could answer, the guy came to Tukhachevsky again, gave a military salute, and said loudly,

    "Comrade Commander, Chapayev, Commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, requests you to entrust the glorious task of taking the town of Sterlitamark to the cavalry soldiers. The boys are very tired, but after a rest,  Eat something for a while, and you will be energetic right away, avenge your fallen comrades, take the town resolutely, and eliminate the enemy cleanly and completely! "

    Although Tukhachevsky was so tired that he could hardly open his eyes, it was obvious that Chapayev's heroic spirit made him feel the pride and courage that he had not seen in the army for a long time. The guy nodded, "Chapayev  Comrade! I believe that the 1st Cavalry Division can complete the tasks assigned by the organization no matter how difficult the situation is. Half an hour is too short. Let the soldiers rest for forty minutes. After forty minutes, we will launch the attack and take the town.  Let everyone sleep in a dry room!¡±

    "But Comrade Commander, what if the coalition air force is chasing us! We should not waste energy and time here, but should hide as soon as possible and wait for the soldiers to recover and continue on their way!" Hashimo, commander of the 31st Division  Husband insisted.

    "What is supposed to come will always come, and what can be evaded can always be evaded, unless this cavalry battalion is also equipped with a radio. As far as I know, the coalition's radio stations are only assigned to the regiment level at most, and a mere battalion is in such a remote place.  It is impossible to be equipped with a radio station, and they are surrounded by us at the moment. They cannot send people to warn other places. It is 120 kilometers away from Ufa and at least 220 kilometers away from Orenburg. Waiting for the pursuit of the coalition forces to come  Now, we¡¯ve already left! Don¡¯t worry, my comrade. Let¡¯s make a fire and let the soldiers dry their clothes before going to bed. By the time they wake up, the town will have been taken!¡±

    Tukhachevsky comforted several division commanders, but sighed in his heart. If he didn't pull out this little nail in front of him, then the other party would be able to follow his team wherever he went next. Not to mention that the whole army would be completely exhausted.  If you can't walk, even if you can walk, you have to eat the coalition cavalry battalion in front of you first.

    The 31st Turkestan Infantry Division of the First Army of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army and Chapayev's Cavalry Brigade temporarily camped near the town to make a fire and cook, preparing to take a rest before launching an attack on the town of Steerli Tamak.

    Li Fugui¡¯s face was ashen as he continued to send reports to the Allied Forces Command in Orenburg and Ufa:

    Our unit has been surrounded by the enemy. It seems that the enemy in front of us has at least one infantry division and one cavalry brigade. The follow-up strength is unknown. Judging from the flag, the opponent is the troops of the First Army of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army.  Our department is now waiting for assistance and requests Ufa to dispatch its aviation fleet for air support as soon as possible!
