    July 13, 1918 11:05 Ufa Allied Forces Command

    "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Sergei's Department telegraphed that after nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the 5th Sergei Cavalry Division used three cavalry regiments to attack the 15th Infantry Division and the 20th Infantry Division of the First Army of the Soviet Eastern Front.  , division commanders Chekov and Berklov were captured, two division political commissars were killed, nearly 8,000 enemy people were eliminated and nearly 8,000 were captured.

    Now Sergei's cavalry has arrived in the town of Sterli Tamak to join forces with Li Fugui's cavalry battalion. Unfortunately, Tukhachevsky led an infantry division to evacuate south two hours ago, leaving one to clean up the battlefield.  The cavalry regiment had also evacuated an hour ago!  Whereabouts unknown!  "Tian Jun, director of the war room, rushed in excitedly with a telegram he had just received.

    "Ha, Sergei's cavalry division has good combat effectiveness! Three regiments defeated two of the opponent's divisions. This result is brilliant. Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, do you think it is necessary to catch up with the third infantry division of the First Army of Ufa?  To the front line of Sterli Tamak Town?" Taro Utsunomiya, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces and commander of the Japanese Third Army, said with a smile.

    "Well, that's really good news. I have to give him a credit. Sergei is a pretty good Russian general. Unexpectedly, his cavalry division attacked nearly 70 kilometers in one morning. Not only did he capture Ma Xin of the Second Army alive, he also  They also annihilated two infantry divisions of Tukhachevsky's First Army. It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Russian Cossack cavalry is also quite impressive!" Wang Geng was also overjoyed when he heard this. The weather has not improved, and the Allied Air Force is at this moment.  It was the third batch of planes dispatched, but when they reached the town of Sterli Tamak, they could not see the ground at all, so they could only hover and wait helplessly. Unexpectedly, Sergei managed to take down Tukhachevsky with three cavalry regiments.  Yes, this is really gratifying!

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the cavalry battalion of the Allied Forces Li Mingzhong also fought well. They defended the town with one battalion and not only delayed the enemy's footsteps, but also relied on their position and firepower to repel the opponent's multiple attacks and wiped out at least one regiment.  The enemy, let me say that the victory achieved by Sergei's troops is inseparable from the persistence of Li Fugui's cavalry battalion in Sterli Tamak Town! "He should be credited with a credit!" Taro Utsunomiya did not forget to take a photo!  The commander-in-chief of the allied forces, the king's horse, and the sedan chair were carried by everyone!

    Tian Jun, the owner of the war room here, was obviously tempted by the excellent fighter planes of the frontline generals. This guy couldn't help but ask for battle, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Lieutenant Colonel Ishihara is leading a cavalry regiment in the north, Lieutenant Colonel Itagaki  I am also commanding a cavalry regiment under Sun Liangcheng. I requested that I be sent to Kumeltau to command the Japanese cavalry regiment there, and to go north to catch Tukhachevsky by surprise! "

    Shunroku Hata has the rank of colonel now. He knows in his heart that Wu Peifu, deputy chief of staff of the coalition forces, commander of the Chinese Third Group Army, and commander of the Ufa Central Cluster, has not taken advantage of the enemy's main force and is anxious to get angry, so he does not plan to go  Bavre served as Wu Peifu's deputy on the front line, but wanted to command the Japanese cavalry unit in Kumeltau to go north to deal with Tukhachevsky.

    Damn, Sergey's three cavalry regiments were able to deal with the two infantry divisions of the First Army and captured the commander of the Second Army, Ma Xin. He didn't believe that he would be unable to deal with Tukhachev with a 5,000-man Japanese cavalry regiment.  There is only one remaining infantry division and one cavalry regiment left!  If we could capture Tukhachevsky, the former commander of the Southern Group of the Soviet Eastern Front, that would be more glorious than capturing any army commander of the Soviet Red Army on the right bank of the Volga River!

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please agree to Colonel Hata Shunroku's request. Seeing that this battle is almost over, the Japanese Army in the coalition has not yet had a chance to perform and perform. This time, Tukhachevsky must not be allowed to escape.  The Sergei Cavalry Division is now at the end of its tether and will not be able to catch up with Tukhachevsky without rest and replenishment. Please give the Imperial Japanese Army a chance to perform! "Here, Utsunomiya Taro Mihata!  Junliu asked for a fight and hurriedly helped to play the side drum.

    "Major General Tian Jun, you are the chief staff officer of my war room. If you leave the headquarters to take command, who will clean up the big mess of the coalition headquarters for me?" Wang Geng did not expect that Shunroku Hata could not calm down and actually returned.  Of course, the Japanese Army in the coalition forces would have no chance to exert their strength. He knew that Ishihara Wanji was leading a regiment of Japanese cavalry in Almetyev like crazy.  Searching for the remnants of the Soviet Red Army in the east of Sk, the remnants of Hevezin and Yankovgai were not found. The entire Red Army of more than 7,000 people seemed to have disappeared.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is not a problem. The staff in the war room can complete their duties very well, and And with Mr. Utsunomiya as your deputy chief of staff, the staff who are not used at all are in chaos.  What's wrong!" Tian Jun cast a look at Utsunomiya Taro asking for help.

    "Aha, Your Excellency Taro, do youIf Tian Jun is not involved in the exchange of telegrams and orders among those in the war room, can you help deal with them?  I'm used to being the boss of the boss, so I don't have the patience to lead the staff personally!  "Wang Geng turned around and said to his deputy with a smile.

    "Uh ¡â, it's not a problem. The staff can do their jobs very well. Besides, I will keep an eye on them for you. It will be safe to keep them!" Utsunomiya Taro said helplessly. To say that the staff of the Japanese Army Ministry  The headquarters has much more staff personnel than the Chinese participating army. Therefore, although the main force of the coalition is the Chinese Third Army, at the coalition headquarters, the staff in the war room are mainly Taro Utsunomiya, who is the commander of the Japanese Third Army.  Selected by the Ministry of Education, there are many top students who graduated from the Japanese Army University.

    Although these Japanese staff officers in the war room of the Allied Forces Headquarters are a little inferior to Hata Shunroku, Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki Seishiro, they are better than the Chinese staff officers brought by Jiang Hongyu, who are mainly graduates of the Baoding Military Academy.  Said that various staff services and capabilities are much better!

    "Okay! Kokumertau is 220 kilometers away from Ufa and nearly 100 kilometers away from the town of Stelli Tamak. How do you get there? Most of the roads are now in a mess because of last night's heavy rain. Cars and armored vehicles  You may not be able to run!" Wang Geng finally relaxed, but then raised the question of how to get there.

    "This is no problem at all. I can take the D4 reconnaissance plane there. Even if the weather is bad, I can fly above the clouds and wait until I'm near Kumeltau. Then I can parachute out from the co-pilot position!" Colonel Hata Shunroku was obviously very confident.  , it seems that as long as Wang Geng is willing to let him lead the troops to pursue Tukhachevsky, all other difficulties will not be a problem.

    Wang Geng heard this and looked at Shunroku Hata. The guy lowered his head and looked like he was asking for help. Then he looked at Taro Utsunomiya. The guy looked at Shunroku Hata with admiration and nodded. It seemed that he was trying to stop him.  If he goes there, Shunroku Hata may really be able to neglect his food and drink, or even resort to committing seppuku.

    "Okay! Send a report to Sergei and Li Fugui and give them awards. In addition, Sergei's troops will take the time to rest in Sterli Tamak Town and wait for replenishment of food and ammunition. Li Fugui's cavalry battalion  A small force can be sent to track and reconnoiter the direction and traces of Tukhachevsky's retreat. The coalition command will parachute Colonel Shunroku Hata to Kumeltau to command the Japanese cavalry unit there to move northward, and strive to capture the map in the next few days.  Caught Haczewski! "Wang Geng finally made a decision!

    "So what about the 3rd Infantry Division of the First Army of Ufa? The original plan was for them to arrive at the town of Stelli Tamak before 4 p.m., but now it seems that there is no need to continue to strengthen the force in that direction. Should we tell them to turn to the west?  "Utsunomiya Taro mentioned this.

    "The 3rd Infantry Division of the First Army of Ufa can divide its forces and send one brigade to the town of Sterli Tamak to take over the defense of Sergei's cavalry. There are nearly 10,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners there. It is difficult to blow up one of them.  It's troublesome to set up a camp. It should be okay to send an infantry brigade. If you want to send another brigade, ask them to move westward at their current position and prepare to join the pursuit and encirclement of the Ninth Army. This should be considered a training and exercise! "  Wang Geng knew that unless Yegorov's troops of the Ninth Army also retreated to the southeast, most of them had already moved to the southwest, and the First Army of Ufa might not be able to catch up.

    "By the way, ask the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Ufa Army to send a brigade to accept the prisoners and wounded from Petrovich, free up Petrovich, and order him to lead the 4th Cavalry Division to search and advance to the southwest. At this time, they  It¡¯s almost time to rest!¡± Wang Geng then ordered.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Petrovich's cavalry troops fought several battles in succession during the pursuit, and consumed a lot of food and ammunition. If they are sent out again without replenishment, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!" Tian Jun reminded.

    "Ask the brigade of the 1st Infantry Division of Ufa to give them some of the food and ammunition they have on hand when accepting prisoners and wounded! In addition, ask the engineering regiment to seize the time to repair the road, from Ufa to Bafre, and from Bafre to the south.  Open the car transportation line as soon as possible! Transport the food and ammunition there!" Wang Geng said with a slight frown.

    The Battle of Ufa has reached this level. As the ground forces continue to pursue and advance, the forces are becoming more and more dispersed, and the pressure on the logistics is also increasing, especially when so many Soviet Red Army soldiers have been captured.  , If one thing goes wrong, the prisoners may not be able to eat, or if too many casualties die due to lack of medical treatment or medicine, a riot in the Soviet prisoner-of-war camp is really not impossible!
