Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Similarly, the designation of the 2nd Sarask Division was changed by Tukhachevsky to the 2nd Furmanov Infantry Division, and Xia Boyang's partner Dmitry Andreevich Furmanno  With his bravery, wisdom and unyielding performance in the Battle of Ufa and the subsequent breakout, he served as the commander of the 2nd Furmanov Infantry Division.

    As for the remaining three divisions, they have temporarily retained the designations of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sarask Infantry Divisions. A group of young generals promoted and dispatched from Moscow took up the position of division commanders.  The 22-year-old Iyeronim Petrovich Ubolevich served as the acting division commander of the 3rd Saransk Infantry Division, and the 23-year-old Yona Emmanuilovich Yakir  He served as the acting commander of the 4th Sarask Infantry Division, and the acting commander of the 5th Infantry Division was August Ivanovich Kolk, who was also only 24 years old.

    The above three young Soviet generals from Moscow have since fought under the equally young commander of the 1st Army Tukhachevsky (born in 1893, 25 years old at this time). In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, these three Soviet generals  He had always been a loyal subordinate and follower of Tukhachevsky until June 11, 1937, when Tukhachevsky and seven senior generals of the Soviet Red Army, including these three generals, were killed by Comrade Joseph  He was arrested, tried and shot as a German spy during the Great Purge.

    Of course Tukhachevsky knew that the person commanding the entire Volga Military District and the front troops was the deputy commander and second political commissar of the front, Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov.  The Ukrainians took advantage of the fact that they and Yegorov suffered a big setback in the Battle of Ufa. They took advantage of the situation and rose to the top, becoming the deputy commander of the Volga Front and the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, responsible for directing the operations of the entire front.

    Tukhachevsky certainly has enough reasons to look down on Voroshilov, and his age is only one of the reasons. The 37-year-old Voroshilov comes from a family of railway workers and did not enter school until he was 13 years old.  , did not receive training from the orthodox military academy, and were just Bolshevik worker cadres. Tukhachevsky believed that Bolsheviks like Kliment Yefremovich Voroshilov would not be able to serve as political commissars.  The theoretical knowledge and literacy are not enough, let alone commanding a front army.

    In Ukraine, in order to compete for Kharkov, the 5th Ukrainian Army commanded by Voroshilov was defeated and driven out of Ukraine by a German reserve regiment. This made Tukhachevsky to Voroshilov.  Shirov's military talent cannot be recognized at all.

    Compared with Voroshilov, who came from a railway worker family and did not have a good education and systematic military knowledge training, the 25-year-old Tukhachevsky was born in Dorogo, Smolensk Province on February 16, 1893.  A noble family in Buri County.  Due to the family's financial difficulties, his father moved the family to Urazh Village in Penza Province in 1904, and then moved to Moscow in 1909.

    At the age of 18, Tukhachevsky left middle school and entered the First Ekaterina Armed Forces School in Moscow, and later transferred to the Alexander Military Academy. He graduated in July 1914, received the rank of second lieutenant, and served in the Semyonov Guards Regiment.  .  After the outbreak of World War I, Tukhachevsky went to the front line with the army and won six awards for his bravery in combat.

    It can be seen that the 37-year-old Voroshilov is a professional revolutionary from the working class, while the 25-year-old Tukhachevsky is from a noble family and has received systematic military knowledge.  A professional soldier who participated in many battles on the Eastern Front in Europe and was awarded many medals for his bravery.

    It is simply a child's play to let a guy who was a working-class Bolshevik political commissar command the front army in combat. This is Tukhachevsky's entire view of Voroshilov. As for his achievements during the retreat from Ukraine and the three defenses of Tsaritsyn,  Tukhachevsky does not think that it is all the credit of Central Committee members Joseph and Voroshilov. Compared with Chernawin and Voroshilov, the two former commanders of the Southern Army Group, Tukhachevsky  Instead, they were more optimistic about Yegorov's military command and ability to lead troops, who had defected to the Volga Federation.

    Throughout the Battle of Ufa, the Soviet 9th Army led by Alexander Ilyich Yegorov acted the most tactfully and decisively, and its retreat was unhurried and orderly. If Yegorov could give up his feelings about his hometown at that time,  Leading the troops around Buzuluk's own birthplace instead of entering the triangle area where the three Buzuluk rivers meet delayed the breakout, and they would have broken out long ago!

    Of course, the cavalry brigade of the coalition forces that roundabouted to defend the town of Buzuluk did a good job. The two encircled cavalry regiments also seemed to have divine help, beating Budyonny and Shatenko until they fled!

    In the Battle of Ufa, if Yegorov had not relaxed his vigilance when he retreated and wanted to see Buzuluk's hometown on the way, he would have taken a detour and most of the main force of the 9th Army would have been able to break out south. In that case, the Soviet Red Army would have lost its battle in the Battle of Ufa.  There will be no complete defeat, and Yegorov will become a well-deserved representative of the Southern Front. Even if the Volcano is established,In the river front, it is not the turn of Voroshilov to be the deputy commander and second political commissar of the front. As for his earlier contribution to the defense of Tsaritsyn, is it possible that Yegorov is less than Voroshilov?  Already?

    Of course, Tukhachevsky was not stupid at all. He did not directly say that he was unwilling to retreat eastward to join the 10th and 8th armies. Instead, he said that his team was extremely short of food and ammunition and could not move forward without food.  No matter where they go, they have no weapons and ammunition. Once they leave the city and are surrounded by Kolchak's cavalry troops in the wilderness, they will be hungry, cold, and short of guns and artillery. They will not be able to resist. It is not like going to the east and Gidis Budyonny.  They turned around, but the troops were cut off and turned into fat meat on the chopping board of Kolchak's mouth!

    In addition to asking Moscow to mobilize food, weapons and ammunition as soon as possible to supply its own army group in Saransk through railway lines, Tukhachevsky also sent letters to Trotsky and Sverdlov of the Supreme Military Council of the Soviet Union in Moscow.  In the telegram, Tukhachevsky analyzed the situation at hand and believed that concentrating all the main forces on the southern front on the left bank of the Volga River might have fallen into Kolchak's trap. In that case, from Nizhniynov  The entire line from Gorod to Sarask and then to Penza in the south is open.
