    7:00 on July 14, 1918, 20 kilometers east of Salavat near the Ural Mountains

    "Comrade Commander, the troops are ready to go. Please give your instructions!" Standing at the door of the tent is Chapayev, the commander of the group army's guard battalion. His military appearance is meticulous, his chest is twice as high, and he is holding the hilt of his saber and his boots in his hand.  Polished.

    "Vasily Ivanovich, how do you feel after being the battalion commander for a day? Have you realized your mistake?" Tukhachevsky opened his hand to ask the orderly while fastening the discipline button of his military uniform.  Wear your own belt and arm belt.

    "Mikhail Nikolayevich, if you want to talk about mistakes, everyone will make them, but I have to take the lives of soldiers most seriously. I know those so-called commanders who make sarcastic remarks all day long. I dare to say  , As long as the coalition forces approach the city, these guys will surrender as soon as their knees weaken!" Chapayev replied with a serious face.

    "According to you, only your cavalry division in the First Army is a hero, and all the comrades in the infantry division are cowards?" Tukhachevsky glanced at his beloved general with dissatisfaction, while being waited on by the orderlies.  Hurry and dress neatly.

    "You can't say for sure, but just look at it, on this Ufa battlefield, it is our cavalry who will fight to the last breath. Although my division only has one regiment left, it can still protect the group army headquarters and break through the encirclement. However,  Comrade Commander, we have to leave early. Comrade Furmanov has been heading south with the vanguard battalion for half an hour, and the brigade here is also ready to go and is waiting for the comrades from the headquarters! "

    Chapayev obviously didn't regard himself as a battalion commander at all. In his mind, Xia Boyang's division was still Xia Boyang's division even if it only defeated one platoon. No matter who became the division commander, the three words "Xia Boyang" would always belong to the cavalry division.  The place of spiritual support and courage.

    "Okay, let's set off now and ask the troops to take cover. The cavalry brigade will walk close to the foot of the Ural Mountains, as far away from the Belaya River as possible. Even if the weather doesn't clear up, God is still on our side, and we can breathe.  Rush to the southern foothills of the Ural Mountains!"

    Tukhachevsky took the reins from the orderly, saddled the horse, and then took a piece of black bread and a water bag from the plate in the orderly's hand. The cavalrymen of the guard battalion behind him were already busy handling them.  The last headquarters tent was packed up.

    In order to give the group army commander who had not had a good night's sleep for several days and nights, after camping at midnight last night, the cavalrymen who jumped out of the enemy's encirclement had a good night's sleep for the first time. Furmanov  He got up at 6 a.m. and set off south with the vanguard battalion at 6:30 a.m. Chapayev waited until the soldiers had eaten breakfast and packed up before being the last to wake up Tuha, who was sleeping heavily to catch up on his sleep.  Chevsky.

    Tukhachevsky's group army headquarters only has a guard battalion of 200 people and a regiment of cavalry from Furmanov. The acting division commander and political commissar of the cavalry division Furmanov led a battalion of more than 500 people to the front line this time.  , the two battalions behind Tukhachevsky personally commanded about 800 cavalry and Chapayev's guard battalion, totaling about 1,000 cavalry, and the guard battalion was together with the baggage train, about 700 people.

    Tukhachevsky personally broke out of the encirclement. All 2,200 people in the army were cavalry. Because the first regiment was dismounted and suffered a setback in the town of Sterli Tamak, many cavalrymen in the second regiment were still riding in pairs.  The war horse is much richer.

    The youngest group army commander of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army and a direct Bolshevik general, Tukhachevsky is also an indomitable guy who will never give up until the last moment.

    Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky was born on February 16, 1893 in a noble family in Dorogobrzh County, Smolensk Province.

    Due to the family's decline, his father moved the family to the village of Urazh in Penza Province in 1904, and then moved to Moscow in 1909. At the age of 18, Tukhachevsky left middle school and entered the Moscow Ekaterina State University.  First Armed Forces School, and later transferred to Alexander Military Academy to study; graduated in July 1914, received the rank of second lieutenant, and served in the Semyonov Guards Regiment.

    After the outbreak of the European War, Tukhachevsky went to the front line with the troops and won six awards for his bravery in combat. On February 19, 1915, Xiaotu was captured by the Germans on the battlefield and sent to a German officer prisoner of war camp.  The following year, he tried to escape many times without success. Instead, he was transferred to Ingolstadt Fortress No. 9, which was specially designed to hold "fugitives", and was imprisoned.

    Later, when he was recaptured after escaping again, he wisely sneaked into the soldier prisoner of war concentration camp. In the autumn of 1917, with the help of the captured soldiers in the camp, he escaped back to Russia and served as a company commander in his original army.  After fighting for four years, Tukhachevsky spent two and a half years in a German prisoner of war camp.

    After the victory of the October Revolution in Soviet Russia in 1917, Tukhachevsky met his old classmate, the Bolshevik Nikolay Nikolayevich, in Moscow.  Under its influence, Tukhachevsky chose a new life path.

      In the spring of 1918, the Soviet government moved from Petrograd to Moscow. Tukhachevsky began to work in the Military Department of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the Soviets, and joined the Bolshevik Party in March of the same year.  In April, he was ordered to go to the eastern front to reorganize scattered troops and prepare for the establishment of the First Group Army of the Red Army.  He completed the mission brilliantly in a short period of time and personally led his troops to defeat the White Guards many times.

    Of course, what made Xiaotu famous was the rebellion launched by Muravyov, the then commander of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army and a left-wing socialist revolutionary. Muravyov led a 2,000-man guard to Tukhachevs  Simbirsk, where the First Army of Kyrgyzstan is stationed, is preparing to win over and incite the First Army to follow this guy in rebellion.

    Of course Tukhachevsky would not agree. Going against Moscow was not in the plan of Xiaotu, who had just been re-employed as the First Army Group. Besides, Tukhachevsky had already joined the Bolsheviks, how could he  Easily follow Muravyov, a leftist Socialist-Revolutionary?

    It was precisely because of Tukhachevsky's resolute resistance that the arrogant Eastern Front Commander Muravyov failed to effectively control the main force of the First Army in Simbirsk.  With the support of the First Army of the Soviet Union, they used the Hongmen Banquet to coax Muravyov and his henchmen into the conference room and shot them to death. Only then did they kill the commander of the Eastern Front, which brought further progress to Moscow and the Soviet Russian regime.  Possibility of harm.

    Precisely because Tukhachevsky and his First Army played a decisive role in suppressing Muravyov's rebellion, their career has been on the rise since then, and the First Army has also grown from an army with tens of millions of people.  The small force quickly expanded to seven divisions and 80,000 people, and Tukhachevsky became the representative of the young Bolshevik generals in the Eastern Front.

    Although Vacetis came from Moscow to snatch his opportunity to be the commander of the Eastern Front, the intermediate position of the commander of the Southern Group of the Eastern Front in the Ufa Battle clearly shows the IQ of all the group commanders of the Eastern Front, highlighting his great leadership in Moscow.  An unusual status in the minds of fellows.

    Tukhachevsky is naturally a proud guy. In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, the tragedy that followed this guy had already been laid during the Soviet-Polish War in 1920. Of course, it was obvious that Tukhachevsky was also  Well, Budyonni happened to be there too, looking at everyone struggling to break through the siege and blockade of the coalition forces.

    It is undeniable that two and a half years of life in a German prisoner-of-war camp created Tukhachevsky's perseverance. This guy will never easily betray the interests of his motherland and betray Russia. The premise is that there must be someone worthy of him.  The loyalist regime was completely defeated in the Battle of Ufa, and all armies were torn apart and completely annihilated.

    Tukhachevsky had only one thought, to find a way to run back. He must not go to the west at this time. The areas where the coalition forces would focus on attacking and intercepting must be the right bank of the Volga River. Therefore, Tukhachevsky decided to go all the way.  South, along the Ural Mountains, all the way south on the east bank of the Belaya River.

    Judging from the previous roundabout movements of the coalition forces, there are coalition ground troops on the Kumertau and Orenburg lines. If it were not for the fact that the town of Sterli Tamak strangled the only mountain pass eastward through the Ural Mountains, Tuha  Chevsky even thought about taking his troops across to the east of the Ural Mountains.

    The Great Plains of Ufa is now the exclusive territory of the coalition forces. It is dangerous to stay for even one more minute. Where is the safest place?

    Break out of the inertial thinking of the coalition generals and take blind corners that they did not expect.  The coalition aviation fleet is very formidable, but the planes cannot come down to capture prisoners, and they are mostly cavalry units with one man and two cavalry. As long as they do not encounter large coalition ground forces, with the golden pair of cavalry Chapayev and Furmanov  The brave generals who work together will definitely be able to break through the enemy's blockade and break through!

    The weather will not always be so friendly to the Soviet Red Army. Sooner or later, the clouds will clear and the fog will clear. However, as long as we can take advantage of the darkness and when the opponent's air force reconnaissance planes are unable to dispatch, we can try to increase the distance from the coalition ground forces and wait until the time comes.  On the Kazakh prairie, Tukhachevsky felt that his cavalry could be dispersed into countless small groups and sneak out from all directions.

    If you are in a hurry, you can pretend to be a gangster and destroy the capital of the Kazakh Alash Autonomous Republic in one fell swoop!

    Tukhachevsky led more than 2,200 cavalrymen to drive all morning long. Due to the heavy rain for several days, the rivers were flooded and the roads were also muddy. Going south along the foot of the Ural Mountains, these guys could only drive all morning.  A journey of 60 kilometers.

    When Colonel Shunroku Hata, director of the operations room of the Allied Forces Command, led two cavalry brigades of the 4th Cavalry Regiment across the flooded Belaya River from Salavat Ferry, Tukhachevsky and his cavalrymen  Appeared in the town of Yumaguzino, about 40 kilometers northeast of Kumeltau.

    The Belaya River, which used to run from north to south, is here.It turned into an east-west direction, blocking the path of Tukhachevsky's cavalry.
