    July 14, 1918 12:45 Position on the Buzuluk River, 30 kilometers southeast of Buzuluk Town

    "Then charge. The opponent's position has three directions, namely north, east and south. How do you plan to charge?" Political Commissar Shatenko was obviously moved by the brigade commander Gorodovikov. As the political commissar and Budyonny's  As a partner, Xia Jianke was more concerned about surrounding the enemy but retreating without a fight, which would make it difficult to explain in front of the group army and the front army in the future.

    As for the seizure of weapons and equipment, it is not in the eyes of Comrade Political Commissar. Of course, it is a good thing to win the battle to make the Southern Front and Comrade Joseph look good. However, I am really worried about whether this guy can rush forward.

    Brigadier Gorodovikov used a telescope to look at the position of the coalition forces on the opposite side. The other side was still digging trenches and strengthening bunkers desperately. It was obvious that the White Guard Russian cavalry who had defected to the coalition forces had not made any progress. They dismounted as soon as the battle began.  Ma's ability to dig trenches has improved somewhat.

    "Political commissar, brigade commander, don't hesitate. While the enemy is not yet firm, the whole brigade presses forward to fight to the death. I will lead the Kalmyk regiment to insert from the middle, and Romanenko will lead the remaining cavalry of the second regiment to outflank the north.  Road, use the captured mortars to attack on the north road to attract the enemy's attention, and place the heavy machine guns in the middle. The five Browning squads will be allocated to our regiment with machine guns. I will rush forward for you! "

    Ryabyshev, the leader of the Kalmyk Regiment, was eager to give it a try. Romanenko frowned when he heard this. Damn, my troops worked hard and paid so many casualties before they were captured. Your Kalmyk Regiment is just an armed force.  After a long tour, even the pot has to be taken away?

    Gorodovikov's eyes lit up when he heard this. He obviously felt that Ryabyshev's idea was very popular with him, but looking at Romanenko, the leader of the second regiment, frowning, he was obviously not willing to risk his life.  The new machine gun from the coalition forces arrived. Comrade Comrade Brigade Commander hit Romanenko on the shoulder and said with a smile,

    "Prokofy Logvinovich, why are you reluctant to use the captured weapons? Otherwise, if you lead the second regiment to the center, the five Browning squad machine guns will be returned to you? The enemy's center  We have the largest number of troops. I'm looking at at least 1,000 people. You only have 1,000 cavalry left. Are you sure you can charge forward?"

    Romanenko blushed when he heard this, and looked at political commissar Shatenko and brigade commander Gorodovikov who looked at him meaningfully. Ryabyshev's eyes looked at him with even more contempt, Kalmy  The leader of the group couldn't help but joked,

    "Romanenko, I just borrowed it to envoy. The machine gun used by the coalition squad can be hung on the neck of the cavalry while riding and shooting. If we want to break in, we all rely on this. By the way, those 30 captured M1 Garans  The German semi-automatic mounted rifles should also be temporarily equipped to the commandos. As long as they rush up, are you afraid that they will not be captured? "

    "I didn't say no, I just fired the guns. The soldiers were all being careful. They had to take them back even though their hands were not yet warm. I was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to figure it out." Romanenko muttered.  said.

    "Ryabyshev is right! As long as we charge forward, are we afraid of not capturing it? Just now, the second regiment only captured the weapons of three companies of the opponent. There are still 13 companies of the enemy on the opposite position. As long as they are eliminated, by then  I am afraid that there will be no additional seizures. I have the final say on this matter. After this battle is over, all the seizures will be distributed uniformly throughout the brigade. I am not allowed to intercept them privately and use them myself!" Gorodovikov made a decision with a slap on his head.

    "Any soldier who can't figure it out, ask them to come to me as the political commissar of the division. The baggage train is short of people. As long as they want to go, the Political Department will never stop them!" Political Commissar Xia Jianke also said seriously, in Budyonny's  In the cavalry division, one of the punishments for soldiers who violate discipline or make mistakes is to be dismissed from their posts and thrown into the baggage train to work as coolies.

    Of course, at this time, both the 2nd Cavalry Brigade on the Buzuluk River side and the 1st Brigade in the Budyonny belt in the west were lightly equipped for the first time when retreating from October Town, and the first time when they set off from Buzuluk Town to make a roundabout way.  The second light equipment, the cavalry division's baggage team and the artillery company's heavy machine gun battalion were all left to Yegorov's group army infantry division. At this time, the cavalry only had the ammunition and dry food they carried with them.

    After going back and forth, Romanenko, the commander of the second regiment, had nothing to say. Here, the remaining 3,000 people of Gorodovikov's second cavalry brigade took urgent action to reorganize the team and allocate weapons. The captured machine guns were useless.  The reason is that the 12 coalition platoon mortars really can't find suitable artillery.

    After struggling for a long time, the young platoon leader of a cavalry platoon in the Second Regiment of the Second Regiment, who was temporarily captured as a gunner, said that it is estimated that the artillery shells can be fired. If they can hit the target accurately, I'm afraid it won't be possible, not to mention that the average artillery shells are only 5 for each gun.  It is estimated that the gunner's accuracy has not been perfected before the attack is over. This thing needs to be taught by a master. The artillery of our entire division is left to the group army. How can we, cavalry, do this?

    "Pavel Alexeevich Belov, I say, comrade platoon leader, there are only so many artillery shells captured, how can you practice your accuracy?

      As long as you can fire the shells in the direction of the enemy, it is a success. However, this is a platoon-affiliated mortar of the coalition forces, with a range of about 1,000 meters, so your platoon¡¯s task is both arduous and glorious.  We cover nearly 1,000 meters, then dismount and set up artillery to bombard the opponent. We can't let the artillery shells hit our own heads. Do you understand?  "

    Romanenko stared and trained the cavalry platoon in front of him. After being yelled at by the regiment commander, the young platoon leader Belov lowered his head and stopped chewing his breath. He thought to himself, then he could only pray for God's blessing, and the troops charged and set up artillery.  Shoot, do you think we Cossacks are all self-taught gods?  Let's wait and see.

    Here, the division political commissar Shatenko and the brigade commander Gorodovikov personally mobilized before the war. The political commissar Shatenko rode his horse back and forth in front of the cavalry column, raised his arms and shouted,

    "Soldiers of Budyonny, we are Red Cossacks. No one can stop our progress, no one can organize us to win, not mud and swamps, not big rivers and small rivers. The division commander is waiting for us on the left bank of the Volga River,  Only by fighting our way out of the siege can we be worthy of the glorious title of Budyonni Cavalry Division!"

    ¡°Ula~~~¡± nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Budyonny Cavalry Division roared in unison.

    Brigadier Gorodovikov also rode forward, raised the saber in his hand, and shouted,

    "Comrades of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade! Brothers of the Kalmyk Regiment, warriors of the Romanenko Regiment, don't forget the honors you have won. We beat Denikin and Krasnov to death in Tsaritsyn.  Damn it, we defeated the Wrangel and Makhnov gangs. Once they come back, we will defeat them once!

    Although this is the Great Plains of Ufa, we don¡¯t have any handy armored trains or cannons, and we only have a few captured machine guns!  But our soldiers are the bravest fighters, and our Bolsheviks are the most determined Bolsheviks. They rush to the enemy's positions, chop off their heads, seize their weapons, and drive away the invaders and traitors from the land of Mother Russia.  , do you have confidence?  Do you have?  "

    The answer to the brigade commander and political commissar comrades was the shouts and deafening roars of 3,000 cavalrymen

    ¡°Ula~~~¡±

    On the coalition position opposite, regimental commander Antonikov's command position was on a hillside behind the position. It could be seen clearly through the telescope. Although Budyonny's cavalry on the opposite side only had 3,000 people, the roar of the thunderous Ula was 2,000.  Even meters away and downwind can hear it clearly.

    Damn it, if in a field battle in a hand-to-hand fight with sabers, my 1,700 cavalry can't hold up your Budyonni 3,000 wolves, we are fighting positional warfare, let's put our horses over and have a look, Young Antonikov asked the second battalion to guard the north  The third battalion defends the 700-meter defensive line on the southern front, and the fourth battalion defends the 1,000-meter-wide main defense line in the middle facing east.

    Each battalion retains a company at the rear as the reserve team of each battalion. The first battalion fights the remaining fourth company as the general reserve team. Three air-cooled Browning heavy machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns are deployed on the north and south line positions.  To support Browning squad machine guns, Antonkov arranged 7 air-cooled Browning heavy machine guns and 15 squad machine guns on the 1,000-meter defense line in the middle.

    Twenty 60mm-caliber platoon-affiliated mortars were deployed on each of the northern and southern lines of the coalition, and the remaining ones were strengthened to the middle defense line, so that the number of platoon-affiliated mortars on the middle 1,000-meter defense line was as high as 38. At the same time,  , four 81mm caliber battalion-affiliated mortars were all deployed near the command position on the central hillside, which allowed the 32 battalion-affiliated mortars to support battles in three directions at any time with a range of 2,000 meters.

    The slogan for Little Antonkov¡¯s mobilization was simple: ¡°Anyone who dares to take a step back without orders will be shot on the spot! If you want to survive, you must destroy the enemy!¡±
