    July 14, 1918 12:45 Headquarters of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division in Buzuluk Town

    "Cousin, division commander, did you give the order to stop shooting? I led the guard company to fight hard on the first battalion position. The enemy was defeated like a mountain. Why did we stop shooting? The battalion and company commanders below were all  I can¡¯t figure it out.¡±

    The division chief of staff and commander of the sixth brigade, ?ovsky, burst into the headquarters of the third coalition cavalry division with his arms open and sweating, while complaining and yelling at his division commander and cousin Nezhkov.

    "The order came like a mountain, and I told you to stop shooting. Stop shooting. Fortunately, you are still a Russian. Have you forgotten what the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, the King of China, said in the training class for battlefield commanders? Fighting against the Soviet Red Army, everyone died.  The Russians, it is the German and Austrian invaders who are taking advantage behind their backs and laughing secretly. Our task is to hold Yegorov down, stick him, and destroy him after the main force comes up to encircle him."

    The top commander of the coalition forces in the town of Buzuluk, the commander of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division, Nezhkov, calmly turned around to comfort and enlighten his deputy, while giving instructions,

    "On the position, I used the loudspeaker to shout to the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side, informing the other side of the temporary retreat, and asking their medical soldiers and medical carriages to rush into the battlefield to treat their wounded. I looked at the Soviet Red Army lying on the position at least half of the sea area. They were only injured.  He's still alive. It's too late to save him. If all the blood bleeds out, he'll really be a corpse. Hurry up and call out."

    "I said, sir, we can't always be so bodhisattva-minded when fighting. You saw it just now. When the opponent charged, we fought to the death. More than thirty people were killed in the first battalion and nearly a hundred were injured. The machine gunners were replaced by one  Damn it, can we take advantage of each other so much?

    As the chief of staff of the division, I have the right to make suggestions. I am firmly opposed to the current disciple. Don¡¯t the Chinese have an allusion to it? Yes, it is said that it is better to chase the poor bandits with courage, and not to use the reputation of learning to be an overlord?  "**Vsky drank a large bowl of water, wiped his mouth and couldn't help shouting.

    "If the objection is invalid, it will be implemented." Nezhkov was angry and funny. He waved and asked the division staff to call the position to convey the order. He walked over and pulled his cousin aside and said,

    "I'm not telling you, Poshka, you have to use your brain to fight, you know? You didn't see it in the battle report from the headquarters about how the coalition forces defended in the early stages of the Battle of Ufa? I tell you again and again that our mission is to hold Ye Ye back.  The footsteps of Gorov's Ninth Army, so during the sniper battle in the morning, I paid special attention to wounding if possible but not killing. One more wounded soldier will increase the opponent's burden of one wounded soldier, and one more corpse will lighten the opponent's burden."

    ???????? Nezhkov quite hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. The teacher thought that if Nedev were here, why would he bother to explain so much?  How come Boshka, this cousin, only knows how to fight and kill but can't turn around?

    "I said, Commander, cousin, the Soviet Red Army is full of political commissars and Bolsheviks. These people are determined to fight with us to the end. If you want to eliminate one of them once and for all, then eliminate one more. We have a vast territory and rich resources in Russia.  Are you still worried that there is no one? Let them go now, and they will still have to fight with us after they recover, so why bother?"

    **Vsky spread his hands and still looked like he couldn't turn around. In fact, this guy also knew that the Allied Forces Command's "preferential treatment of prisoners" was to win people's hearts. Release of the wounded not only won a reputation, but also made the Soviet Red Army not to fight to the death with him in the future.  It also increased the opponent's burden and stopped the opponent's footsteps. However, looking at the enemy's wounded lying on the ground under the muzzle of the gun, he was a living target but was not allowed to fire. This guy always felt that it was too pretentious.

    Nezhkov ignored his cousin and turned around to look at the battlefield with a telescope. On the northern battlefield four kilometers wide and one kilometer deep lay the bodies of nearly 10,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers. Half of them had been killed and half of the wounded were still there.  Tossing and turning, groaning, struggling and crawling towards the Soviet Red Army's position on the opposite side, there was absolutely a river of blood and it was too horrible to watch.

    Here at the command position of the Soviet Red Army, Yegorov's face was ashen and he pursed his lips, biting his cheek bones. Political Commissar Knyagnitsky and several division commanders were also ashen and speechless.  Come, the main force of the five divisions attacked with 10,000 men. Not only did they fail to break through the opponent's position defended by at most 2,000 men, but they also suffered huge casualties.

    If the coalition forces had not stopped firing and shelling in the later stage, the remaining more than 1,000 people may not have been able to withdraw. There were at least 5,000 wounded Red Army soldiers stranded on the battlefield between the positions of the two armies. This battle was completely lost.  The Menshan artillery and heavy machine gun battalions were completely annihilated under the indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent's four artillery batteries.

    The only thing that gave people a little comfort was Kulik, the commander of the ** artillery regiment, and Malikov, the commander of the heavy machine gun battalion. These two treasures left by the Budyonny Cavalry Division actually escaped from the coalition's artillery fire, and were far away from the coalition forces.  The trenches and heavy machine gun positions 1,100 meters away from the position no longer exist. This battle cannot continue.

    "Comrade Yegorov, I suggest retreating as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy will rush out. Their artillery is very powerful. IOur position is actually within the opponent's range. I suggest that we move quickly." Knyagnitsky, the political commissar of the army group, trembled in his voice.

    Several surrounding division commanders such as Inza and Kikweize glanced at their political commissar with disdain. Although the political commissar was right, almost all the main regiments of the five infantry divisions were wiped out, and more than 1,000 people were withdrawn from the starting position.  The Central Inza Division has the largest number of troops, with more than 500 people, while the Kikweize Division has more than 200 troops. The remaining 17th, 19th and 23rd Divisions each withdrew less than 100 offensive troops.

    At this moment, the loudspeaker on the opposite coalition position rang:

    "Commanders of the Soviet Red Army opposite, please pay attention, Yegorov, please pay attention. According to the order of our commander, Lieutenant General Nezhkov, we are now suspending fire across the entire line for half an hour, giving you time to rescue and evacuate the wounded, giving you time  To evacuate and rescue the wounded, only medical staff and medical carriages are allowed to enter the battlefield to rescue the wounded. No one is allowed to carry weapons and wear eye-catching red cross marks. All weapons and equipment on the battlefield are considered to be captured and trophies of the coalition forces.  Not allowed to be taken out of the battlefield.¡±

    "Repeat, according to the order of the coalition commander Lieutenant General Nezhkov, the coalition forces are now suspending fire for half an hour so that you can send medical personnel into the battlefield to rescue and evacuate the wounded. Only medical personnel and medical carriages are allowed to enter the battlefield to rescue the wounded. All  People are not allowed to carry weapons and wear eye-catching red cross marks. All weapons and equipment on the battlefield are considered to be captured and trophies of the coalition forces. They are not allowed to be taken out of the battlefield. Any violation of the above regulations will be deemed to be torn down.  We will resolutely and mercilessly attack the agreement."

    The proficient Russian announcement voice echoed and circled on the battlefield. Every soldier, commander, and political commissar on the Soviet Red Army position here could hear it clearly. This voice was like a sledgehammer, beating the Soviet Union's army.  The hearts of the commander of the Ninth Army, Yegorov, and the Red Army division commanders and political commissars

    Almost all the Soviet Red Army troops on all positions breathed a sigh of relief while their faces turned red, especially the nearly 1,000 commanders and fighters of the offensive forces who had withdrawn after the disaster. At this time, the coalition's announcement seemed to be merciless.  Laughing at the complete failure of the Soviet Red Army, many out-of-control Red Army soldiers roared and wanted to charge back with their guns again, but were hugged tightly by their comrades who were still conscious around them.

    At this time, if anyone on the Soviet Red Army position makes another rash move, don't forget that the artillery range of the artillery company of the opposite coalition can reach as far as four kilometers behind you. If the opponent's artillery shells come out in full force, it will only  They were afraid that the remaining Red Army troops would be blown to pieces if they ran out of the range of the opponent's artillery, just like what happened to the heavy machine gun battalion position and the mountain artillery position just now.

    "Comrade Yegorov, be careful not to be fooled. This is not Ufa. The commander opposite is a Tsarist Russian general from the White Guards. I heard that this Nezhkov was the commander of the Don Cossack Cavalry Regiment before. He is a murderer.  Butcher," Usti, commander of the 23rd Division, reminded in a bearded voice.

    "Butcher? It doesn't look like it to me. No matter what this Nezhkov did before, now he is acting like the coalition forces. They give preferential treatment to prisoners and cease fire on the battlefield to allow us to rescue the wounded. This is exactly the same as Tukhache under Ufa City.  "Vsky and the others are in the same situation. I don't think there is anything to hesitate about. Let's evacuate the wounded first."

    When Inza's main regiment retreated, the enemy stopped shooting. Although his regiment leader and political commissar were injured, they all withdrew alive, and more than 500 backbones were left behind. This made this brave general in the Ninth Group Army  While the coalition commander's puzzling behavior was puzzling, the hostility also inadvertently weakened a lot.
