    Like the division commander Budyonny, the political commissar Shatenko, or the second brigade commander Gorodovikov, can quickly make judgments and choices when facing adverse situations. While blowing the trumpet, the Budyonny cavalry  The division's second brigade has actually launched plan B for retreat.

    In this plan, it was the same as the previous choice of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army on the Ufa battlefield. At that time, Lezhevsky led a division of the Third Army to stay and break up the rear with the wounded. It was also like the choice in Buzu at this moment.  Yegorov in the north of Luke Town made the same choice. Yegorov asked Kikweize to lead the 16th Infantry Division to stay to treat the wounded and cut off the rear.

    In Plan B of Shatenko and Gorodovikov, the Kalmyk Regiment will quickly leave the battlefield and retreat south. Gorodovikov will lead the brigade guard company and political commissar Shatenko to pursue the retreat of the Kalmyk Regiment.  retreat southward, leaving behind the remnants of Romanenko's 2nd Regiment, which had withdrawn after the failed attack on the northern front, to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. Of course, they also had to delay the enemy's pursuit, hold on for as long as possible, and then wait for an opportunity to retreat.  .

    Therefore, when the bugle to give up the attack sounded in the rear position, the Kalmyk regiment commanded by Ryabyshev quickly turned south, breaking away from the front line and the opponent's fire coverage, while actually retreating.  The coalition forces on the defensive side are quite deceptive. They always think that the opponent has been repulsed and just give up the attack.

    Who would have thought that the retreat of the Kalmyk regiment was part of the attack. When the attack was abandoned, the next move to leave the battlefield was already a retreat.

    The commander of the coalition forces and the commander of the second regiment of the fifth brigade of the third Ural Cavalry Division, Antonikov Jr., used a telescope on the high ground and could not see any clues at first. He thought that the other party would at least gather its troops before deciding whether to stay or leave.  The Mongolian cavalry regiment of the Budyonni Cavalry Division that was so aggressive just now was gone in the blink of an eye and never looked back?

    The large groves on the south side of the Buzuluk River also blocked the sight of the coalition forces, leaving the Kalmyk regiment with about 1,000 cavalrymen. After joining the political commissar Shatenko and the brigade commander Gorodovikov, they quickly  He ran southward and out of sight of the coalition forces.

    Of course, Romanenko¡¯s second regiment, who stayed behind to break up the rear, was not so lucky. With nearly a thousand new lightly and seriously injured people in both directions, how easy was it to remove them from the firing line?

    The reaction on the coalition positions was strange. Any Soviet Red Army cavalry on horseback who tried to get within range of the battlefield would be attacked by coalition bullets and mortars. However, the wounded Red Army soldiers crawling on the ground and moving backward did not become live targets.  .

    Obviously, before the battle is over, every wounded soldier of the Soviet Red Army can only reduce the burden of the Budyonni cavalry if he dies. If he is alive, he will become a noose around the neck of the Budyonny cavalry and an iron chain on the feet, making them  Staggering and unable to move, Antonikov had at this point fully accepted the concept of handling enemy casualties that the Allied Forces Command had always instilled in commanders at all levels.

    Of course, Antonikov, like most Russian generals in the coalition, has not yet understood and accepted the preferential treatment of prisoners.

    Seeing that the situation was not good for the Soviet Red Army, Romanenko was also a ruthless leader and directly appointed Pavel Alexeevich Belov, the cavalry platoon leader who was already alone, as the battalion's front line officer.  Commander, he was given a platoon of troops and more than 500 lightly and seriously wounded soldiers, all under the leadership of Belov, the new battalion commander.

    The task given to him was to hold the position, evacuate the wounded from the battlefield, and then retreat south to find the main force of the brigade. After the instructions were completed, Romanenko took the remaining 250 cavalrymen of the second regiment and pulled the horse.  Head south to pursue the main force of the brigade commander and division political commissar.

    Fortunately, the Browning heavy machine gun that had escaped the indiscriminate bombardment by the coalition mortars was left to Belov, the new battalion commander. Of course, there were very few bullets left, only a 250-round cartridge.  The chain is not yet at its peak, but it can be used at its peak.

    "Comrade Platoon Commander, ah no, Comrade Battalion Commander, the main force has withdrawn, what can we do? The coalition forces will probably rush out to deal with us soon!" asked a bearded cavalryman who looked like a squad leader in the remaining cavalry platoon.  road.

    "What should I do? What can I do? An order is an order. The regimental political commissar and battalion political commissar died in battle. Where is your platoon commander?" Belov, the new battalion commander who had jumped two levels in a row, said angrily.

    "Platoon leader? There is no platoon leader. We are all the remaining soldiers from the first battalion of the second regiment. We are not in the same platoon to begin with!" The bearded squad leader spread his hands and said.

    The 21-year-old Comrade Belov is not a simple cabbage. Although he has just been promoted from platoon leader to fire battalion commander, in Wang Geng's previous life, this guy was considered a rising star in the Budyonny Cavalry Army.  .

    Pavel Alexeevich Belov was born in Shuya, Ivanovo Region in 1897. He joined the Soviet Red Army in early 1918.  He made military exploits in the three defense battles of Tsaritsyn and served successively as cavalry squad leader and platoon leader.He was directly promoted to battalion commander.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, Comrade Belov later served as Budyonny¡¯s adjutant, joined the Bolsheviks in 1925, and later served as cavalry regiment commander, division commander, chief of staff and mountain infantry division commander.

    Graduated from the Frunze Military Academy in 1933. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War in his previous life, he served as the commander of the Second Cavalry Corps. During the Battle of Moscow, he conducted outstanding defensive operations in Tula, and then led the 1st Guards Cavalry.  The army participated in the Battle of Vyazma.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, Belov's most commendable achievement was that he fought alone in the forest area behind enemy lines for nearly half a year while being isolated from the main force. He raised the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines to a strategic level, which became Joseph's favorite.  One of the most troublesome Soviet generals for the Austrian corporal.

    After that, he commanded the 61st Army to participate in the Battle of Kursk, the Battle of Belarus, the Battle of Wisla-Oder and the Battle of Berlin. He annihilated the enemy with outstanding mobile warfare, was resolute and courageous, and made many military exploits. He became a general and became a general in the war.  Among the 33 Soviet group army commanders, historians rank Belov 26th.

    Of course, at this moment, in the time and space of 1918, Belov is just a clever and lucky Red Army cavalry platoon leader. If the regiment commander Romanenko was not anxious to escape and chase the main force of the brigade, how could this guy skip the company in one breath?  The commander of this level directly became the battalion commander. By this time of noon, the second cavalry regiment was almost completely wiped out.

    When the Second Cavalry Regiment annihilated three companies of the opponent's cavalry battalion, it paid the price of 300 killed and 500 wounded. Then it paid 700 casualties when attacking the opponent's position twice, including 300 killed and 400 wounded.  Duo Huan was slowly crawling back on the battlefield, crying and shouting.

    The new battalion commander Belov felt that his task was too arduous. In addition to the more than 400 wounded on the northern front waiting for rescue, there were more than 600 wounded on the central line waiting for him to take them back. He had them all intact.  The only undamaged cavalry left in front of them were the more than 30 bastards who were killed by the first battalion.

    The more than 400 lightly wounded soldiers of the second regiment lying on the ground at the moment are strong and powerful, but there is absolutely no chance of charging into the formation or retreating.

    "What's your name?" Battalion Commander Belov was distracted by the groans and cries of the wounded, and worried that the allied cavalry on the opposite side might attack at any time to look good on him. The guy rolled his eyes and asked the bearded man.  A soldier with glasses next to the squad leader said.

    "Are you calling me? Report to Comrade Battalion Commander, Isaac Emmanuelovich Babel, a Red Army soldier, a native of Odessa, who worked in the Cheka, and just left Tsaritsyn two weeks ago  The grain collection troops joined the Budyonny Cavalry Division originally to serve as field reporters, but our division quickly moved to the right bank of the Volga River, and the brigade political department never arranged any specific work! "

    The cavalryman with glasses was taken aback and answered timidly at first, but when he thought that Belov was just a platoon leader before, he managed to hold up his chest and did not forget to complain.

    "Intellectuals, let me tell you, there is a lot of nonsense. We don't need reporters here, we need soldiers. It's strange to be able to talk. In this way, bearded man, you take someone to accompany this brother with glasses to the coalition position under a white flag and ask them  Cease fire so we can remove the wounded! I forgot your name?"

    "Babel, Isaac Emmanuelovich Babel, comrade battalion commander. Before joining the army, I published some poems and novels, but I used the pen name, Babel Kimmel.  Liutov, Comrade Gorky really likes my novels, so I joined the army to experience life in response to his call to go to the world!" Brother Glasses chattered.

    "Stop talking nonsense. As the battalion commander of the Budyonny Cavalry Division, I, Belov, order you, Comrade Babel, on behalf of our regiment, no, no, on behalf of our brigade, to negotiate with the coalition forces and ask them to stop shooting.  , let us treat and evacuate the wounded, do you understand?" Belov interrupted Babel rudely and ordered.

    "Why are you sending me? I'm just an ordinary soldier" Brother Glasses obviously felt a little weak in his calves. As he resisted, he looked around at the cavalry around him, looking for his substitute.

    "That's you! Ordinary warrior? Look at our Cossacks and the Mongolian brothers in the Kalmyk regiment. How many of them wear glasses? Your glasses can well represent that you are not an ordinary soldier. In this way,  I appoint you as the political commissar of our battalion!

    Of course, to be honest, I don¡¯t have the power yet. Not to mention the battalion political commissar, even the regiment political commissar was beaten to death. Brothers, can we recommend Comrade Babel, the spectacled warrior in front of us, to serve as the acting political commissar of our battalion?  !  Sending political commissar comrades to negotiate with the coalition forces will give you status and confidence. Raise your hands if you agree!  "

    ?????????? It would be a pity for Belov not to be a leader. With just a few words, he pushed the glasses brother to the forefront of the storm to do the job of licking blood with the blade of a knife. At this time, there isAnother guy wanted to be the acting political commissar, but when he heard that the purpose of being appointed political commissar was to go to the coalition positions to negotiate an armistice, this would definitely be a narrow escape.

    What¡¯s more.  .  .  What's more, our regiment actually shot more than 100 coalition prisoners in front of the position before.  .  .  This is not a good situation. As a negotiator, he also wears the hat of acting political commissar of the camp. When he goes there, he is cut into pieces to get revenge!

    More than 30 cavalrymen around him raised their hands in unison, and dozens of lightly wounded soldiers lying on the ground also raised their hands. Belov nodded with satisfaction, spread his hands towards the glasses brother and said,

    "Didn't Comrade Gorky tell you that the masses' glasses are sharp? You must believe in the masses. Brother glasses, now you are my political commissar and partner. Stop dawdling and get on your horse. Bearded man, what is your name?"  Name?" Belov asked the bearded squad leader again.

    "Comrade Battalion Commander, Vasily Kurchukov reports to you! I am the third squad deputy of the second platoon of the third company of the first battalion! Do you really want me to send Comrade Political Commissar to the coalition forces?" Bearded Class  Deputy Kurchukov was obviously a little unwilling that Babel had become the political commissar of the battalion so quickly. If he was to be sent as a representative to negotiate, since he was accompanying him, why was Mao Jiamen the political commissar and he was the bodyguard?

    With the same risk, the return difference is too big, right?  Therefore, Kurchukov seemed a little reluctant.

    "Vasily Kurchukov? That's a good name. I now appoint you as the platoon leader of the battalion security platoon. You and one person will escort Comrade Babel, the acting political commissar of the battalion, to negotiate with the coalition forces and demand an armistice! It's that simple!  Let¡¯s set out immediately. You don¡¯t need to bring any weapons. Just mark them all with white chess pieces. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you!¡±

    The new battalion commander who was promoted from the front line drove the glasses brother and the bearded squad leader to the coalition position to demand a ceasefire, while commanding people to seize the time to collect and treat the wounded who had crawled back on their own.
