Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To say that Shatenko is both strategic and a lucky general, when Dubrovsky's 3rd Kazan Infantry Division of the White Guards attacked from Cheboksary, he was defeated by the commander of Cheboksary North Cluster Gurly.  Niov specially strengthened the firepower of 8 artillery companies and 6 heavy machine gun battalions. As a result, Dubrovsky left 4 artillery companies and 3 heavy machine gun battalions for the 3rd Army in order to ensure that the Yadlin bridgehead was not lost.  Division 5th Brigade.  Anti-theft chapter

    After this guy took the remaining 4 artillery companies and 3 heavy machine gun battalions to capture Reskovo, only one artillery company and one heavy machine gun battalion were left for the 2nd Regiment of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division. Of course,  If the firepower of the 2nd Armored Train Regiment is added, it would be at least the artillery of 4 artillery companies. The problem is that the 2nd Armored Train Regiment has sent temporary reinforcements to the direction of Kostovo in the afternoon.

    Therefore, when the Soviet Russian cavalry detachment, led by the group army's political commissar and detachment leader Shadenko, moved southeast of Reskovo and prepared to attack, the firepower of the White Guards guarding Reskovo was at its weakest. Of course, the White Guards' Kazan infantry  Antonio Kagarovich Roslavlev, commander of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division, is a relatively cautious guy. This guy focuses on the Reskovo train station as the core position and arranges the troops of a regiment into a mine surrounding the mine.  The semi-circular position of Skovo Railway Station focuses on the east and south sides.

    During this day, there were more than 2,000 strong civilians captured nearby. They were half exhausted from digging the fortifications under the supervision of the White Guards. However, after most of the day, Roslavlev repaired the fortifications.  Seven, seven, eight, eight.

    Roslavlev deployed one battalion in the position south of the train station, another battalion in the town to the west, and the third battalion was responsible for the north and east. This guy himself led the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division.  The regiment's main battalion held the core position of the train station. The artillery set up a position on the slope north of the train station. The heavy machine gun battalion went to the roof and reinforced the bunkers and fortifications with sandbags and sleepers.

    For brigade commander Roslavlev, there is no problem in which direction the troops of such a regiment should attack. The focus is to guard the train station and ensure the smooth flow of the railway. Since the line of sight is relatively wide, even without the support of the armored train, this guy can  The firepower of the heavy machine gun battalion can cover a range of 2 kilometers on both sides of the train station, while the six cannons of the artillery battery can cover a range of 5 kilometers.

    If the 2nd armored train regiment is still in Reskovo, then with the cooperation of the armored train, the 2nd regiment can at least withstand the enemy's attack of more than one brigade. Now, although there are fewer artillery, the terrain is still favorable.  Defense, if the Soviet Red Army attacks out of nowhere, I can resist a brigade for an hour without any problem!  If it takes a long time, Yadlin's 3 armored train regiments will be able to come up for reinforcements, and Kostovo's two armored train regiments can also withdraw for reinforcements, so Roslavlev is still somewhat confident to hold on to Reskovo.  Important town.

    Of course, since the division commander Dubrovsky only led one regiment and four dispersed battalions to the west to attack Nizhny Novgorod where two Soviet armies were stationed, he also only led one regiment.  The commander of the 6th Brigade, whose troops were guarding Reskovo, had no shame in shouting that his troops were insufficient.

    This guy secretly thought that compared with the enemies faced by the division commander, although he did not know whether he would be attacked by the enemy next, but no matter how he calculated it, the enemies Reskovo had to face could not follow him in Nizhny Novgorod.  Let¡¯s compete with the life-threatening division commander Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky?

    July 27, 1918 17:30 Provisional headquarters of the Shatenko Cavalry Detachment of the Soviet Red Army southeast of Reskovo

    Shatenko's cavalry detachment has a total of nine battalions, all of which are cavalry, including 3 three-horse-drawn heavy machine gun battalions, 2 horse-drawn anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and 4 cavalry battalions.  The strength of the White Guards at the railway hub of Reskovo should be about one brigade.

    Little did Xia Jianke know that the captured civilians had asked the White Guards brigade commander to put on White Guards military uniforms and dig trenches and build fortifications, so from a distance it looked like there were only five or six thousand people in the town.  Busy.

    Shatenko is a relatively stable general, or in other words, he rarely puts all his money on the line. During the Buzuluk breakout battle in the Battle of Ufa, this man led a cavalry brigade and was a member of a cavalry regiment of the Allied Forces.  Under the assault, they chose to break out and retreat rather than fight to the end. Of course, the intensity of firepower of the coalition forces was by no means comparable to that of the White Guards in front of them.

    "Pass my order, Sorokkin's 1st Cavalry Battalion launches a probing attack to the southeast corner of the town. The heavy machine gun battalion and the anti-aircraft artillery battalion are ambushed in the woods outside the town so as not to expose the target! Let's see if we can attract the White Guards out of the town.  Give them an ambush!" Shadenko stood on a hillside and looked at Reskovo in the northwest with his binoculars. The smoke from the cooking pots rose in the dusk, and the figures of the White Guards in the town were vaguely visible.

    Following this guy¡¯s order, not long after, the 1st Cavalry Battalion, which was ambushing a small forest 2 kilometers away from the southeastern corner of the town, shouted Ula and rushed out of the woods towards Reskovo.The White Guards' position rushed over. Solokhkin, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, wearing a black Cossack cloak, rushed at the front, followed by a cavalry company formed into three arrows.

    At this time, a Maxim heavy machine gun pulled by three carriages rushed out from both wings of the grove. After seizing the hill, the machine guns were quickly in place. The dull sound of Maxim shooting sounded and poured towards the southeast position of Reskovo.  Bullets rained down, which lifted the spirits of the Red Army cavalry who were shouting and charging in the middle of the front!

    Xia Jianke looked through the telescope and saw that the tide of Red Army cavalry quickly rushed into the position less than 1,000 meters away from the opponent's position. The White Guards in the town were caught off guard and fell into panic. Many people were running around.  There was no weapon in his hand, and he was holding a shovel for digging fortifications.

    "Political Commissar, it seems that this group of White Guards is very sparse. It's a pity that we don't have artillery. Otherwise, how about I lead a battalion to insert from the south? They all look like new recruits, and up to now they haven't even fired a machine gun!  It might collapse in a rush!" Belov, the chief of staff of the cavalry detachment, fiddled with the telescope in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

    "And, Pavel Alexeevich, how can fighting be so easy? The enemy will collapse as soon as you charge at it? Don't be fooled. Just look at their posture of repairing fortifications and you will know that the opponent is definitely prepared. On the train station building  The machine gun will fire soon. I think it will be a big price to rush in. Wait, look, there are no more people running around on the opponent's position. It is estimated that they will fire back soon! "Xia Jian!  Coe warned his chief of staff while looking through the binoculars.
