Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just like Budyonny said, the commander of the fifth brigade of the 3rd Ural Cavalry Division of the Allied Forces, Nedev, who was following 700 Soviet Red Army cavalry, did not seek merit, but no fault. At first he only had one cavalry regiment in his hands.  , chasing a cavalry brigade of Budyonny of the Soviet Red Army.

    Secondly, the allied Russian cavalry regiment led by Dominik Mikhailovich Nedev came with reinforcements from Neftegorsk. After running nearly 90 kilometers all morning, the troops and horses were exhausted, so Nedev  Jeff asked the commander of the first regiment, Alexey Antonikov, to lead the first battalion behind Budyonny's 700 cavalry. As long as Budyonny's figure in the black cloak was still in the front team, he would pursue him to the death.  Hold on.

    Of course Nedev is not a gas-efficient lamp. In his opinion, the two large groups of cavalry sent by Budyonny before had two battalions each. Now they either withdrew while Budyonny was holding him back, or they hid.  Prepare for your own ambush somewhere.

    So Nedev led the main cavalry of the three battalions of the first regiment and followed Antonkov's forward battalion unhurriedly. As long as the 700 Soviet Red Army cavalry in front did not run out of sight, it would be fine.  When the wind blows, the task he gives to his cavalry is to dismount and seize favorable terrain. For Nedev, he must remain unchanged to cope with all changes and resolutely avoid field battles and saber swings with Budyonny's red Cossack cavalry.

    Nedev could see that Budyonny was using himself as a bait to lead the coalition forces in a circle, but Nedev, who was exhausted and exhausted, had nothing to do with the opponent for a while. The 1,500-meter distance between the two sides could not be shortened.  Moreover, as long as one's own cavalry dismounts and mounts crane guns and mortars, the opponent will quickly run out of the range of one's own battalion's mortars. In order not to be thrown away, the coalition cavalry can only quickly mount their horses and chase them.

    Antonikov, the commander of the first cavalry regiment in front, just stared at the figure in the black cloak who was surrounded by the opponent's cavalry. The brigade commander said that capturing Budyonny alive was more important than anything else. Of course,  The horses of this cavalry battalion under this guy were so out of strength that they really couldn't muster the energy to catch up with the opponent and use machine guns to resolve the battle at once, so they had to grit their teeth and continue the cat and mouse game unwillingly.

    Alexei Antonkov was not worried whether the nearly 2,000 cavalrymen of the other party who had disappeared from sight would suddenly rush out to ambush him. He even wished that the other party would rush out. Although the first battalion he led only had more than 500 people.  , the physical strength of the mount is almost exhausted, but as long as you dismount and take advantage of the machine gun and mortar, it will not be a problem to withstand the impact of the opponent's 2,000 cavalry and drag down the opponent.

    When the time comes, brigade commander Nedev will lead the main force of the cavalry regiment behind him, and he will definitely beat Budyonny until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and he will be captured.

    To the west of the Domashka River, Nedev led Antonkov and the First Regiment to play a cat-and-mouse game with Budyonny. To the north, the main force of the Ninth Army Infantry Division led by Yegorov was already in Buzuluk.  Zhen Peng's head was bruised and bloody.

    At the same time, Budyonny's political commissar Shatenko led the Second Brigade of the Soviet Red Army's Special Cavalry Division to implement an eastward roundabout operation plan, taking a long detour east of the Buzuluk River and preparing to circle back to the south of Buzuluk Town.  Outflanking operations.

    Yefim Afanasyevich Shatenko joined the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in 1904, participated in the October Revolution, organized the Red Workers' Army, and later became Budyonny's cavalry in the three battles to defend Tsaritsyn.  Political commissar of the regiment, political commissar of the cavalry brigade, and political commissar of the cavalry division.

    Although he was a political cadre, Xia Jianke's ability to lead troops and fight was not weak at all. This guy was a veteran party member in 1905. He had a transcendent status in the special cavalry division. This man could both fight and be a commander and soldier, and was good at unity and ideological work.  The human political commissar can be said to be Budyonni's best partner.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, Shaktenko, Voroshilov, and Budyonny were the troika of the First Cavalry Army and the First Cavalry Army, and they were also Comrade Joseph's most trusted subordinates. However, at this moment, Shaktenko is still  Only Xiaohe can show off her sharp corners.

    Comrade Comrade Political Commissar was very lucky. When he led Godorovikov's 2nd Cavalry Brigade back to cross the Buzuluk River, he was not attacked by the coalition artillery fire in Buzuluk Town. The crossing point of the 2nd Brigade was at Nezhkov  It is beyond the range of the artillery company. Secondly, although the Buzuluk River crossing near the mouth of the Samara River is wide, the water is not deep and the flow rate is slow.

    After Shatenko led the second brigade across the Buzuluk River, they followed the river all the way south. Because the Domashka River in the west and the Buzuluk River in the east were like a big "eight" lying down, the cloth was  The town of Zuluk is in the middle, and the best crossings of the two rivers are in the town of Buzuluk.

    Therefore, if he wanted to recross the river from the south and fight his way back to Buzuluk Town, Shadenko had to be like the division commander Budyonny in the west and lead his team to run south for at least 20 kilometers, and since the Buzuluk River was  Northwest-southeast direction, so the 2nd Cavalry Brigade under his leadership moved further and further into Vietnam and further east.

    After struggling for a long time, waiting for the release dateBy the time they found a barely suitable spot to cross the river on the river bank thirty kilometers southeast of Luke Town, Comrade Political Commissar's Second Brigade was already more than 40 kilometers away from Budyonni's troops on the other two banks of the river to the west.

    The 2nd Cavalry Brigade led by Shatenko also had no time to cross the river. Romanenko, the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade behind him, found a coalition cavalry unit following behind him. The number was not large, and it looked like a battalion.  It's not too tight, just over 2 kilometers away from me.

    The 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Budyonny Special Cavalry Division now has more than 4,500 men left, and the main forces of the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Regiments are there. Romanenko kept his composure and did not notice the coalition cavalry behind him.  Instead, he sent a messenger to quickly notify the brigade commander Gorodovikov and the division political commissar Shatenko who were already on the river bank in front.

    Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division, was born on September 19, 1879 in the village of Mokraya Yelimuta, Rostov. He joined the Imperial Russian Army in 1903  , served in Poland after a short training, and joined the 43rd Don Cossack Regiment after returning to China.

    Gorodovikov participated in all the Russian battles on the Eastern Front of the European War. In 1916, when he was seriously injured and discharged, his previous military rank was a lieutenant of the Russian cavalry. Gorodovikov was born in Rostov on the lower reaches of the Don River, just like the division commander Budyonny.  , was born as a serious Don Cossack, but Budyonni joined the 46th Don Cossack Regiment after joining the army, and was later transferred to the Coastal Dragoon Regiment.

    Although Gorodovikov was a Cossack general, the team he raised after the October Revolution was mainly Mongolian cavalry. Speaking of this Mongolian cavalry, we have to mention a special word in Russian history - "Tatars"  "Shackles" refers specifically to the rule of Russia by the Mongolian military aristocrats from the 13th to the 16th century. The history of Europeans being ruled by Asians seems to make old Maozi a little bit worried.

    During this unforgettable period, Russia broke free from the "Tatar yoke" and turned to control a large number of Mongolian tribes, and then used stronger methods to deal with its former conquerors.

    But unexpectedly, when the Soviet regime led by Ulyanov and even the Russian nation faced threats, tens of thousands of Mongolians mounted their horses, waved red flags, and shouted "For the motherland! For Joseph"  !" In Wang Geng's previous life, these Mongolian cavalry served as part of the Soviet army and fought all the way to Berlin.

    When the Soviet regime was established in 1917, there were approximately 7 to 9 million Mongolians in Russia, belonging to Kalmyk, Yakut, Buryat and other tribes.

    When the all-out civil war broke out in Russia in 1918, most of the Cossacks in the Don River Valley joined the White Guards, but the poor Mongolian herdsmen seemed to see hope in escaping from the enslavement of the nobles in the Bolshevik propaganda.

    In particular, the Kalmyk Mongols living in the lower reaches of the Volga River established the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment under the organization of former Tsarist Russian cavalry lieutenant Oka Alexey Gorodovikov and accepted the Bolshevik Astrakhan Regiment.  The leadership of the regional party committee.

    In the first battle to defend Tsaritsyn, the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment and the Budyonny Cavalry Regiment led by Gorodovikov also performed outstandingly, but the Budyonny Cavalry Regiment was mainly composed of Red Cossacks, while the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment  The more than 2,000 members of the Croatian Cavalry Regiment are all Mongolian cavalry.

    Just because of the differences in skin color and blood of his cavalry soldiers, Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, who was as brave and capable as Budyonny, this Cossack general who was also red, had to take a back seat to Budyonny.  Under Ni.

    After the first battle to defend Tsaritsyn, under Voroshilov's arrangement, the Budyonny Cavalry Regiment and the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment merged to form a cavalry brigade. Budyonny got his wish and became the brigade commander.  Zingo took over the position of commander of the Budyonni Cavalry Regiment, while Gorodovikov remained the commander of the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment.

    In the second battle to defend Tsaritsyn, Gorodovikov led the Kalmyk Cavalry Regiment to create a "cavalry-armored train" strategy, which was to mount carriages with cavalry on the armored train.  The train patrolled and defended along the railway line surrounding the city, and deployed the cavalry company to key areas at any time to intercept the attack of the White Guard Cossack cavalry. It achieved a good record and made an extraordinary contribution to the siege of Tsaritsyn.

    However, it was still because the Mongolian cavalry was subconsciously suppressed and on guard. When the second battle to defend Tsaritsyn was over and the first cavalry division of the Southern Front was established, Timoshenko became the brigade commander, and Goro  Dovikov only became the brigade commander. The division commander was also Comrade Budyonny, the founder of the brave and fearless Red Cossack Cavalry.

    At this time, half of Gorodovikov's second cavalry brigade were Mongolian cavalry, and the rest were cavalry from various ethnic groups, including Cossacks. When he heard a battalion of coalition cavalry chasing behind him, Gorodovikov was surprised.  Dovikov feels that his opportunity has come!
