    "What about the north? There are no enemies in the north?" Hasanyev suddenly turned the telescope to the north. There were also Cossacks of the White Guard in the north all the way to the river bank, but the number was much smaller than in the south. At most, there was only one cavalry battalion.  It looks like there is at least a cavalry brigade to the south!

    "Damn, you're careless. I should have waited for the 38th Division to come up and join up before heading north together. Where is that bastard Volpaskov? It's you. Why didn't you get hacked to death by the White Guards? I asked you to send a reconnaissance company to search and stay vigilant.  "Look at what happened to your second brigade." Division Commander Hasanyev turned around and saw the smoky commander of the second brigade with a whip mark on his face, and he was furious.  Come.

    Damn it, "In just one confrontation, the second brigade was defeated by the White Guards. How did you lead the troops?!" Hasanyev couldn't help but kicked Volpaskov again and shouted at him  road.

    "Division Commander, how can you blame me? None of the reconnaissance company from the brigade headquarters came back. They were made dumplings early in the morning. Who knew that we could encounter the White Guard cavalry in this place? Didn't the division headquarters say that the battlefield at least had to go further?  Are they advancing 10 kilometers to the north? These White Guards bastards are really good at riding horses and their legs are so fast. But division commander, when I rushed back just now, I made up for it and killed two Cossack cavalry in one breath. I will give it back to you and the political commissar.  Each got a saber from the Don River!"

    The commander of the second brigade, Volpaskov, complained aggrievedly, while handing over two sabers with gorgeous and beautiful scabbards. Political Commissar Hasnov stepped forward to take the sabers, and took them out to take a look. Sure enough, there was a cold light everywhere.  She Duan had two good knives, so he smiled and smoothed things over,

    "Division Commander, I think the second brigade is trying its best. Our infantry encountered a cavalry counterattack in the plain area. It would be good if we could retreat as a regiment while fighting! This sword is not bad. It must be at least the sword of a Cossack major.  , Just keep it!" The political commissar handed the good-quality saber to the orderly beside Hasanyev to keep it, and handed the other sword to his guard.

    "Humph, you don't know how to be more vigilant when there is no news from the reconnaissance company? Where is your brigade political commissar?" Hasanyev said angrily to Vospakov.

    "The political commissar led the third regiment. At this moment he probably fell in with the whole regiment Division commander, listen, except for the cannons still ringing, the gunfire has stopped. The third regiment is probably wiped out.  What should we do next? Don't worry, division commander, there are no cowards in the second brigade. I will be the commander of the remaining regiment and the battalion commander of the remaining battalion!" Volpaskov returned to his original hero state now!  He looks like a good man, at least the scars on his face caused by the whip from Hasanyev will probably not heal in half a month.

    "Hey! We had a bad start, or we were careless. The division cavalry reconnaissance battalion we sent near Kazan early in the morning probably asked people to make dumplings, otherwise the intelligence should have been sent back half an hour ago!" Hasanyev was annoyed.  A pat on the thigh.

    It turned out that for the Tenth Army, although the 37th Infantry Division and the 38th Infantry Division at the northernmost part of the defense line were deployed in Tetyushi and Buinsk respectively, Gidis asked Hasanyev's 37th Division to send a battalion of cavalry to lead the troops.  The radio moved to the rear of the Third Army's defense line on the south bank of Kazan for surveillance and lookout, and reported enemy movements at any time.

    According to the last telegram report from the reconnaissance battalion received by the division, Hasanyev concluded that the enemy cavalry would not arrive 10 kilometers to the north until an hour at the earliest, so he focused on urging the troops to move on without  Expecting that the enemy's cavalry was advancing at a slow trot in three columns when they left the south bank of Kazan, it would be very strange to imagine that the White Guards, the 1st Don Cossack Cavalry Division, would fight.

    After they left the ferry on the south bank of Kazan for 5 kilometers, they suddenly accelerated their speed and suddenly caught up with the retreating Soviet Red Army cavalry reconnaissance company. They were stunned and completely wiped out the company. The results of interrogating the prisoners revealed that the Soviet 10th Army had  The 37th Infantry Division was heading north, so while sending a report to the former enemy headquarters in Kolchak, they galloped towards the south under the command of division commander Andre.

    Whether you want to say that Andrei, the commander of the Cossack Cavalry Division, is overjoyed and wants to take all the credit, or that he looks down on the infantry divisions of the Soviet Red Army, anyway, Andrei's White Guard Don River Cossack Cavalry Division, which is accelerating southward, is behind Techuhi.  The initial battle fifteen kilometers north was successful, annihilating one regiment and two battalions of the 37th Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, and surrounding the remaining troops of the 37th Division in a circular position on the banks of the Volga River.

    At this time, the 2nd Don Cossack Cavalry Division of Kolchak's White Guards, which was also performing a southward sweep, was still fifteen kilometers north of them, while the 38th Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army was about seven kilometers south of them.  Of course, what Andre didn't know was that the Soviet Red Army's Volga River Fleet and the fleet carrying the 39th Infantry Division were less than an hour away from here.

    July 22, 1918 14:30 Samara Allied Forces Headquarters

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Hawkeye No. 1 call, Commander Kolchak East Route Army"About five divisions are pursuing the retreating Third Army of the Soviet Red Army to the west. At the same time, the five divisions of the Central Route Army seem to have given up crossing the river south and are instead heading west to Cheboksary along the north bank of the Volga River.  Movement, the five divisions of the White Guard's Western Route Army are still standing still on the opposite bank of Maria Alexandrovna, and there is no sign of launching a cross-river operation!  "

    Qian Tianfu, a capable-looking army lieutenant colonel and the new director of the headquarters' war room, came in and reported.

    Major General Shunroku Hata, chief staff officer of the war room, followed Taro Utsunomiya to the Southwest Front to command the Ukrainian campaign. Ishihara and Itagaki, a pair of live treasures who had just been promoted to colonel, also followed. All three of them served as brigades of three divisions respectively.  long position.

    Wu Peifu took the former staff of the Third Army Headquarters to Tsaritsyn on a coalition air force transport plane early this morning. This caused Wang Geng's coalition headquarters war room to lose almost two-thirds of its personnel.  And this little-known guy, Qian Tianfu, a young staff officer who joined the war less than three years after graduating from the 13th batch of the Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, stood out and became Wang Geng's main combat staff officer at this time.

    Qian Tianfu's ability to stand out in Wang Geng's coalition headquarters is not only due to the strong recommendation of Jiang Hongyu and Hata Shunroku, but also due to his own military talent. Qian Tianfu is different from Hata Shunroku, Ishihara Kanji and Itagaki.  This guy is naturally a good at talking on paper, and he is keen on working on pictures, but he does not like to go to the front line to lead grassroots troops in combat.

    Qian Tianfu is actually a very arrogant and proud guy. Of course, the reason why his talent was discovered instead of being lost in the sea of ??people is first of all due to his senior, who was the chief of staff of Wang Geng Nanyuan's participating army.  , recommended by Jiang Fangzhen, head of the teaching group.

    Jiang Fangzhen also graduated from the third phase of the infantry course of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. When Jiang Fangzhen was able to study in Japan and attend the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, it was inseparable from the sponsorship of three noble people. Before going to Japan, Jiang Fangzhen enrolled in Qiushi, the predecessor of Zhejiang University.  Qian Junfu, a classmate who had a very good relationship with Jiang Fangzhen in the college, was Qian Tianfu¡¯s cousin. Of course, Qian Tianfu was much younger than this cousin. When Jiang Baili and Qian Junfu were classmates in Qiushi College,  The lieutenant colonel and staff officer was just a seven-year-old naughty boy at the time.

    In this time and space of 1918, Qian Tianfu's cousin Qian Junfu is the director of the Ministry of Education in Beijing, and Comrade Jiang Baili, a senior ten years ahead of him, is already the military governor of Shanxi and the commander of the reorganization division of the participating armies, and classmate Qian Tianfu  , joined the combat army and was promoted from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel in one year. Jiang Fangzhen recommended him to Jiang Hongyu and took him to the coalition headquarters.

    If Shunroku Hata, Ishihara and Itagaki, three top students who graduated from Japanese mainland universities, previously occupied the top three combat staff positions in the operations room of the Allied Forces Command, then they only have the money to graduate from the 13th phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School.  Army Lieutenant Colonel Tian Fu can be regarded as the fourth outstanding staff officer!

    This is why even a arrogant guy like Shunroku Hata recommended him to Wang Geng. Although the 25-year-old Qian Tianfu is only a lieutenant colonel in the Chinese Army, in fact, Wang Geng holds the title of Commander-in-Chief.  , in fact, in addition to the guy who even grasped the authority of the chief of general staff, especially after Jiang Hongyu, the chief of staff, also served as the logistics commander, our classmate Qian Tianfu, as an army lieutenant colonel, took on the responsibility of the coalition and  Responsibilities of the Chief of Staff of the Central Front.

    "Hmm Kolchak seems to have changed. What about the Soviet Red Army? Has the Tenth Army on the left bank of the Volga River moved north?" Wang Geng turned around in front of the map and asked.

    "We have just received the aerial reconnaissance report from Hawkeye 2. Two infantry divisions of the Soviet 10th Army have moved north. Among them, the 37th Infantry Division originally deployed in Techuhi is on the bank of the river about fifteen kilometers north of Techuhi.  Nearby, there was an encounter with Kolchak's 1st Don Cossack Cavalry Division going south. The two sides fought very lively. The Soviet Infantry Division suffered a lot. It is estimated that it lost at least one regiment of troops!" Qian Tianfu said with a smile!  .
