    Chapayev's eyes were bloodshot. He stared at his army commander and wanted to rush forward, but was hugged tightly by the political commissar Furmanov behind him. Tukhachevsky looked at him and lost his composure.  The subordinate, with a pale face, pulled out the revolver from the holster at his waist and handed it over, saying in a low voice,

    "Come on! Chapayev! If killing me, Tukhachevsky, can save your cavalry, you can shoot! Come on! You arrogant guy, look at what you've done  What kind of battle is it to lose a regiment to the enemy¡¯s machine gun fire? Do you still want to send yourself to fill this bottomless hole? Why don¡¯t you say anything!

    Tukhachevsky's voice became louder and louder. Not only Chapayev, but also the commander of the army group could not escape from underestimating the enemy. If the Soviet Red Army lost another battle and the First Army fell into disgrace,  If this 14,000-strong team is scared away by a coalition battalion, all the Red Army soldiers who have died will not be able to agree!

    "Chapayev! Listen to me! This battle has been fought in such a tragic way. Which commander of the Soviet Red Army here does not feel sorry for you? Your cavalry is bleeding and dying. All the division commanders and political commissars here and I Tuha  Chevsky's heart was bleeding too! How could he act so recklessly without withdrawing and redeploying?

    I leave my words here. If we don¡¯t take this shabby town and destroy the enemy¡¯s battalion, the First Group Army will be cancelled!  All division commanders and political commissars have been dismissed!  Regardless of whether we can break out or not!  I myself applied to Moscow to cancel my number!  "The army commander shouted hoarsely with veins popping out on his forehead!

    "Okay! As long as you say this! How do you think we will fight?! There are still more than 600 wounded soldiers who have not been transported out of the position! When can the infantry division be dispatched?! Will the two divisions of the Simbirsk Iron Army also be transferred! We are from  How about making a detour to the south and east at the same time! Comrade Commander! I, Chapayev, will lead the charge with the remaining soldiers! "I will not give up until we take this town!"  The cloak on his body broke free from Furmanov's arm, he waved his fist and shouted.

    At this point, Hashimov, the commander of the 31st Turkestan Infantry Division who was originally opposed to the attack, honestly did not dare to say no anymore. Although the cavalry division commander and the group army commander in front of him had different expressions, they both had different expressions.  The murderous eyes are red, whoever advises you at this time will be in trouble!  Whoever backs down will be unlucky!

    Tukhachevsky looked at the battlefield again with a telescope with a gloomy face, and hesitated, "The regiment called Furmanov sent medical soldiers to use horses to evacuate the wounded. Do not bring weapons, and the horses should also be covered with red crosses."  Hold the flag and walk over! The others will ride around the town with me to reconnoiter the opponent's position and terrain! The infantry division should take time to eat and rest, and be ready for battle at any time!"

    Furmanov, the political commissar of the cavalry division, did not dare to neglect. The cavalry regiment had far insufficient medics. This man led the cavalry to the place where the 31st Turkestan Infantry Division assembled and gathered all the infantry medics and uniforms and flags.  Standing up, a battalion of medical soldiers gathered together, holding horses and waving their hands, and walked towards the battlefield to pick up the wounded. Judging from the battlefield experience of the Soviet Red Army in the Battle of Ufa these days, although the coalition forces on the opposite side were extremely hateful, they gave preferential treatment.  Prisoners, the practice of allowing the Soviet Red Army to pick up the wounded always makes people hate them a little bit, giving them an unpredictable mentality!

    Tukhachevsky jumped on the mount brought by the guards first, and several division commanders and political commissars also mounted their horses. Chapayev looked back and saw that his horse was shrapneled by the opponent's mortar the last time he faced Petrovich.  The mount with half of its ear cut off was looking at him with tears in his eyes. The guy yelled "Hi!", stamped his foot hard, jumped on his horse, and chased Tukhachevsky and his party around the town again.  Scout the terrain.

    While counting his casualties, Li Fugui ordered the fourth company of cavalry to enter the first company's position, and replaced the first company after a fierce battle to rest. The bodies of the eight soldiers who died in the company were wrapped in white cloth and parked at the entrance of the central street of the town.  In a large room, injured soldiers were sent to a room that was temporarily used as a field hospital, where medical soldiers would clean, bandage, and administer medicine. Every soldier in the coalition had a first-aid kit in his canvas carrying bag, in addition to bandages, cotton tourniquets, and gauze.  In addition, there is also a small porcelain bottle containing Yunnan Baiyao, a domestically produced sacred medicine for traumatology. This medicinal powder made with Panax notoginseng as the main body is a treasure for internal and external use to stop bleeding and heal injuries!

    Speaking of this Yunnan Baiyao, it was developed by Yunnan folk doctor Qu Huanzhang in 1902. Over the past ten years, it has gradually spread and become the holy medicine for traumatology. It was even tested and passed the test by the Yunnan Provincial Government Police Department Health Center two years ago and issued a certificate.  Public sale allowed.  At that time, Yunnan Governor Tang Jiyao appointed him as the director of the Yunnan Medical Department of Donglu Hospital and the first-class military doctor of the teaching regiment.

    As soon as Wang Geng¡¯s participating army was established, he used various channels to lure Qu Huanzhang with a lot of money to the Ministry of War and gave him the title of colonel military doctor, and established Yunnan Baiyao and Beijing Pharmacy in the suburbs of Beijing.?Specializes in the production of Yunnan Baiyao for military needs. Qu Huanzhang holds 30% of the shares with the formula. All formulas are kept strictly confidential. In addition to the unified procurement by the Ministry of War, the produced Baiyao was also exported to the Allied Forces in large quantities within a year, especially  In the US military, just like the Chinese participating armies, in everyone's first aid kit, in addition to a shot of morphine for pain relief and a shot of penicillin, a killer antibiotic, there is only this small porcelain bottle of Yunnan Baiyao that dazzles!

    The victory in the first battle greatly boosted the morale of Li Fugui's cavalry battalion. Casualties were inevitable. Besides, only eight brothers were killed in the battle. There were at least 1,200 dead bodies of the Soviet Red Army lying in the open ground opposite, not to mention more than 600 more.  Struggling in the blood and mud without losing his breath, it's not to mention how miserable it is!

    "Battal Commander, we have 40 mortars! Why only use 12 mortars? The 81mm large-caliber mortars of the battalion's mortar platoon may be able to reach the Red Army generals on the high ground behind the opponent. That cavalry  Could the little man on the horse be the opponent's army commander Tukhachevsky? A single volley from our battalion's mortar platoon might take the blame for the opponent's company!" Li Dali, the commander of the first company, hit him!  The battle was won, and now he ran up with a full face, full of energy. He had completely forgotten that when the opponent charged just now, this guy and the surrounding soldiers felt weak in his legs!

    "Don't talk about it yet, Dali! You fought well just now! But why did the first platoon suffer so many casualties? Almost half of your first platoon was wiped out by the enemy. You personally commanded the first platoon, right?! What's going on?  "Li Fugui turned around and glared.

    "Hey, I said to the battalion commander, a hero can't stand up to a pack of wolves. It was you who prevented the concealed heavy machine guns on the first row of positions from firing. How can the sustained firepower of our squad machine guns alone be compared to the six in the second and third rows?  It's quite a heavy machine gun. The barrel of the squad machine gun is almost red. If it weren't for the M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifle, which can fire eight rounds of bullets at once without pulling the bolt, which makes up for the lack of firepower of the machine gun, how could I carry it in a platoon?  They can withstand the attack of more than 800 people from the other side! They are more than 20 times my strength!" Li Dali cried in pain, spreading his hands.

    "Tch! If I didn't stop you, the enemies would be so honest and move towards the middle. If they weren't driven to the position in front of you by the heavy machine guns of the second and third rows, how could you destroy so many enemies with one shot in the end? Moreover?  If they try to run again in the middle, they will not be able to escape from the crossfire coverage of our machine guns, otherwise, if they retreat to both sides, they will easily escape from the danger zone." Battalion Commander Li Fugui looked at the battlefield through the telescope.  situation, he said.

    "Hey! Battalion Commander, we are having a great time fighting, why did the Fourth Company replace us? The Fourth Company's military quality is a bit worse than our First Company! On behalf of the soldiers of the First Company, I request that we continue to leave the position to us to defend!" Li  Dali rubbed his head and remembered why he came to the battalion headquarters!

    "The evil battle is still to come. Your company must seize the time to eat and rest. Good steel must be used on the blade. This time we are lucky. The Soviet Red Army has made it clear that this is the lack of heavy machine guns and cannons. Otherwise, you think you  Can our company withdraw so many people from the position? Go back and rest quickly, don¡¯t delay me here!¡±

    Li Fugui drove away the commander of the first cavalry company without even thinking, and then ordered the instructor beside him, "Lao Zhu, ask the radio to send a report to Orenburg and Ufa immediately, saying that our unit has repulsed the enemy for the first time.  A regiment-scale attack would annihilate at least 1,200 enemies and injure more than 600 of the enemy. Our troops suffered 25 casualties, eight of whom were killed. Now the enemy is adjusting their deployment and planning a larger-scale attack. Please ask the Ufa Air Force as soon as possible.  Come to support!¡±

    Battalion instructor Zhu Biao agreed and went, turning to ask Li Fugui, "Batalion Commander, I looked through the telescope and saw that the other party has sent many medical soldiers to the battlefield to treat the wounded. Treating the wounded and treating prisoners well has made our coalition's discipline ironclad."  , let¡¯s not open fire, otherwise no one will come to save you or me if we violate military discipline!¡±

    "Tch! Do I need your teaching? Hurry up and send a telegram to report victory and ask for air support from the air force! By the way, visit and express condolences to our wounded, and take my box of cigarettes to share with them. The mentality of a warrior is your instructor.  It's my duty as the battalion commander, so don't worry! Who am I? I'm Li Fugui, the model cavalry battalion commander! Can I violate the iron discipline of our coalition?  "Li Fugui said while observing the movements on the opponent's position with a telescope.

    To be honest, if Tukhachevsky had only one artillery company, the situation on the battlefield would not be so one-sided. If he had to capture this town guarded by a coalition cavalry battalion armed to the teeth without heavy machine guns and artillery, then  We can only rely on human sea tactics to fill the gap with human lives. This is the so-called forward and relentless approach. Of course, Tukhachevsky did not give up and led a group of division commanders and political commissars on horseback to run around the town. In view of the coalition forces  With mortars, this battle is not only more difficult to fight, but they don't even dare to get too close to the observation position.

    "Battal Commander, what the first company commander just said is right. I looked at the small slope behind the enemy and it was full of people riding horses.Man, maybe they are all commanders. This place is only less than 2,000 meters away from us. The range of our battalion's 81mm mortar can reach the opponent!  Why don't you open fire and try to take down the opponent's command post?  "The correspondent, Captain Xiao Ma, was very clever. He picked up the telescope of the battalion instructor Zhu Biao and looked at it curiously for a long time, then turned to ask his battalion commander.

    "Pull some knives. Their division commander and political commissar and a group of people have just been riding to the west, surrounding a little man. What you see on the high ground now are just ordinary cavalry and small soldiers. They are the Soviet Red Army."  The cavalry were all dressed in a variety of colors. These cavalrymen were all Cossacks, so they looked very impressive from a distance. The little man just now seemed to be the commander of the First Army of the Soviet Red Army, the guy named Tukhachevsky. Unexpectedly,  This guy is only so small, but he has a good posture, and there are so many tall and tall people around him, such as Senior and Political Commissar Maozi, who bow to him! "

    Li Fugui answered his correspondent¡¯s questions while looking at the battlefield situation with a telescope.

    At this time, the battalion instructor Zhu Biao sent the telegram and then sent it back. Hearing the conversation between Xiao Ma and the battalion commander, he couldn't help but ask,

    "Battal Commander, as the saying goes, to catch a thief first, catch the king, and to hit a snake, you have to hit it seven inches. Didn't Marshal Wu always say that taking a detour to cut off the opponent's headquarters is the simplest and most effective way of fighting? Why don't we use the battalion to force the enemy?  Are you trying to find a way to hit the commander on the hillside behind the enemy?" Zhu Biao wanted to ask this question just now, but Xiao Ma didn't expect to ask it first.

    "Well, the battalion commander has his own ingenious plan. This is the first battle. We can't reveal all our family fortunes at once. If the other party knows that we have a radio station, they probably won't be so careless in showing up in Sterli Tamak Town. If the other party knows that we have a radio station,  The 81mm caliber mortar will definitely not wander around our range in a big way!

    How good it is now, I can fire at him at any time. Of course, a few cannons won't do it. To kill him, I have to wait until the battle is at its fiercest, and suddenly 8 cannons will fire at an area together, so that he can't run away.  !  Otherwise, with the muzzle speed of the mortar, the movement in mid-air will tell others that I am coming. You should quickly dodge, roll aside and lie down to avoid it!  "Li Fugui said with a smile.

    In fact, his deeper thought is that among the five armies that the Soviet Red Army has come to the right bank of the Volga River, most of the army commanders and political commissars have either been captured or surrendered. I heard that Tukhachevsky is the best in the Eastern Front.  A tough guy, if he can be captured alive, he will certainly be more valuable and more prestigious than beating him to death. Moreover.  .  Moreover, other troops had captured alive the opponent's group army commander and political commissar. If he accidentally killed Tukhachevsky, he might be embarrassed in front of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.  .  .

    Besides, there are tens of thousands of enemies on the opposite side. If it is really the main force of the First Army, at least two infantry divisions must not be here. If I really kill Tukhachevsky, I will go crazy.  If the Wansu-Russian Red Army risked their lives for revenge, they could really trample this town and its 700 people into ashes. This deal is not worth it!
