    July 14, 1918 7:00 Bruzuk Ural 3rd Cavalry Division Headquarters

    "Reporting to the division commander, the reconnaissance cavalry discovered a large Soviet Red Army unit in the northwest. One of our cavalry companies on patrol on the periphery almost asked someone to make dumplings. Now the troops are fighting and retreating. The enemy in front of them has a division of cavalry alone.  "The strength of the troops!" ?ovsky, chief of staff of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division and commander of the 6th Brigade, broke into the house where the division commander Nezhkov lived, sweating profusely.

    "What? Are you really coming to us? Great! Hurry up and assemble your troops, enter the position and prepare to fight!" The bearded division commander Nezhkov jumped out of bed with a sudden jerk. These days, his Third Cavalry Division  After a series of battles and victories, they set off from Orenburg and captured Sorochinsk, Bruzuk and Neftegorsk with overwhelming force. It was considered the most outstanding Russian cavalry division among the coalition forces.

    "No, division commander, we are only a brigade with less than 5,000 men. The cavalry in front of the opponent must be at least 9,000 in one division. And according to the enemy situation report from the coalition headquarters, this enemy is probably the 9th Soviet Southern Front.  Army Group Yegorov's troops would have at least 30,000 infantrymen behind them. How could we, with only one cavalry brigade, fight to the death!"

    **Vsky said anxiously while urging the orderlies to quickly put on the boots and belt of the division commander.

    "Tch, it's Yegorov who is waiting for me. Pass my order. All two regiments enter the preset positions and send a report to the Ufa Allied Forces Headquarters. Our unit encountered Yegorov's main attack in Bruzuk. The opponent's input  The strength is at least one cavalry division, and there is likely to be infantry following behind. We request the Ufa Allied Air Force to dispatch urgent support for support. We also send a message to the two cavalry regiments of the fifth brigade, telling them to set off immediately and move closer to Bruzuk!  What¡¯s wrong if you don¡¯t eat the side dishes delivered to your door?¡±

    Nezhkov said that he shook off ?ovsky's hand and strode out to the yard. The guards had already brought the horses in succession. The man jumped on the horse, waved the whip in his hand and shouted, "Mr. Meritorious Service"  The time has come, send my order, the first and second regiments all enter the position to prepare for battle, the guard battalion follow me! "

    At this time, the gunshots from the northwest were getting thicker and louder. Nezhkov pulled the reins of his horse, turned to ?ikovsky, who was following him, and said,

    "Chief of Staff, you are responsible for commanding the defense line of the 6th Brigade. No retreat is allowed. Our firepower and artillery are much stronger than the opponent's. You also read the Ufa battle report yesterday. Sergei's cavalry regiment killed two of the opponent's infantry brigades.  , I have two regiments here, just follow our previous plan to enter the position and hold the opponent back! I will lead the guard camp up for a while to figure out the situation! "

    "Yes! Division Commander! Resolutely implement your order!" **Vsky had no other ideas at this time. If the Division Commander wants to fight, then let's fight. In yesterday's Ufa battle report, Li Fugui's Chinese cavalry battalion only relied on one  The battalion's troops defended the town of Sterli Tamak, withstood the enemy's assault of an infantry division and a cavalry brigade, and also annihilated at least one cavalry regiment of the enemy.

    Sergey of the Second Ural Cavalry Army was even more awesome. Three cavalry regiments were divided into two and completely annihilated the two infantry divisions of Tukhachevsky's First Army. Damn, no wonder the division commander Nezhkov  Screaming like chicken blood, the Sixth Brigade of the Third Ural Cavalry Division has a strength of two regiments of 5,000 people. It would be intimidated by a Russian Red Army Cavalry Division that was exhausted after traveling hundreds of kilometers.  If you run away, you will really have no chance of success in the coalition army in the future!

    Before the guy could think too much, Nezhkov, the division commander in front, could gallop out of the town with the division guard battalion of more than 400 people and go straight to the northwest where the gunshots were the densest. The cavalry rolled up and filled the sky.  There was mud in the mud. **Vsky looked up and saw that although the weather was still not clearing up, the rain that had been falling last night had stopped long ago. The clouds did not look as thick or low as yesterday. It seemed that the Ufa Air Force might be able to  Move out.

    Thinking of this, this guy felt emboldened. He turned around and shouted at the messengers behind him, ordering all the first and second regiments to enter the position. The two artillery companies were deployed in the square in the center of the town. The rest of them follow me!  Saying that, he headed straight for the preset position.

    Although it has not been organized into the coalition for a long time, the Ural Cavalry Army is the first Russian unit to equip coalition platoons and battalions with mortars, Browning squad machine guns and M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles. The firepower of the 3rd Cavalry Division  Although the density is a little worse than Li Mingzhong's Chinese mixed cavalry brigade, it is much stronger than Sergey and Petrovich's cavalry division!

    The 6th Brigade of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division, each platoon is equipped with an m1917bra Browning squad machine gun and a two-gun platoon 60mm mortar squad, and each cavalry squad is equipped with three m1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifles  , each company is equipped with an M1918A2 Browning air-cooled heavy machine gun, and each battalion is also equipped with an 8-gun 81mm caliber battalion mortar platoon.

    ?Moreover, each cavalry regiment is equipped with a 6-gun mountain field artillery battery, equipped with 2 75mm caliber Type 41 mountain guns and 4 75mm caliber Type 38 field guns. At this time, the Sixth Brigade has two artillery batteries, a total of 4 guns.  There are eight field guns in the mountain artillery. Because the town of Blouzuk is also in a hilly area, and the terrain in the center of the town is the highest, the square became the artillery position of the 6th Brigade.

    Since the division commander decided to fight, the chief of staff ?ovsky also calmed down. While seizing the time to organize the troops to enter the position to prepare for defense, he quickly sent a telegram to the Ufa Allied Forces, Orenburg, and Samara to notify them in person.  Regarding the enemy's situation, we must wait for reinforcements to arrive and then focus on the situation. This battle may be promising!

    The town of Buzuluk is also not big. The east side of the town is close to a large river, the Buzuluk River, and the west side is also a large river. The position of the 6th Brigade focuses on defending the north and south. Of course, if the enemy attempts to force the crossing of fifty  For a large river that is more than three meters wide and three meters deep, the machine gun positions on the river bank here can effectively block fire. The trenches are mainly dug on the north and south sides of the town. It depends on how the two regiments defend such a town.  beated!
