Volume 3 Far East Story Chapter 668 (2) One-word Long Snake Formation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kolchak said quite proudly that he had set up a long snake formation. The first thing he wanted to do was to draw out Tukhachevsky's 1st Army in Saransk. If five divisions gathered together and rushed up,  It would be strange if Tukhachevsky did not shrink back in Saransk and be a coward. Secondly, Kolchak did have the intention to kill the carbine at any time and steal the retreat of the Soviet 3rd Army. As long as the opponent had a large-scale attack in the direction of Yadlin  Attack, that was the opportunity he was waiting for. Unfortunately, the opponent counterattacked from Kostovo to Reskovo and then stopped. This made Kolchak very disappointed.

    "Commander-in-Chief, when will Guillaume Nikolayevich's team launch the attack? They have rested for the night and it is almost time to recover. As for the Soviet 10th Army Group west of Buyinsk before dawn,  The best time is to attack, but it¡¯s already past 8 o¡¯clock. Don¡¯t you plan to attack the Soviet 10th Army?¡±

    Cavalry General Roman Mikhailovich Krashilnikov, the staff officer of the Western Cluster and the Cossack leader, was really confused at this moment. He didn¡¯t know that his commander-in-chief led two cavalry divisions to stop at  What is the plan here?

    "Of course we have to attack, but we have to wait until we can go east and outflank the Soviet 10th Army's retreat. Otherwise, the enemy will run away and retreat to the south to join the 8th Army. This battle will be troublesome!  Since Tukhachevsky refuses to come out, let¡¯s light another fire for him first!¡±

    With that said, Kolchak turned around and began to issue orders.

    "Alexey Vasilyevich, you personally lead a cavalry brigade of the 3rd Division to the southwest and penetrate north of Saransk. Remember to cut off the railway line from Saransk to Nizhny Novgorod first.  The momentum needs to be high. At least put on the posture of 3 cavalry divisions. Don't rush to attack the city. It is impossible for your cavalry brigade to capture Saransk, which is guarded by 5 infantry divisions. You just need to kill Tukhachev.  "Ski blocked Saransk and cut off the traffic to the north of Saransk."

    "Yes! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I will lead a brigade, pretending to be three cavalry divisions, to penetrate all the way to the north of Saransk, cut off the railway line, and block Tukhachevsky in the city of Saransk. Got it! The other party  What if we go out of the city to fight? How about I take the 3rd Division?"

    No matter how arrogant Corbyn is, he will not think that leading a Cossack cavalry brigade can defeat Tukhachevsky's five infantry divisions. This is simply impossible. The force ratio is 8:1. How can we win?  What's more, Tukhachevsky was the most powerful group army commander in the Soviet Red Army. Even after the entire army was wiped out in the Battle of Ufa, this guy was able to travel hundreds of miles and come back. How could he be so easy to deal with?

    "Tukhachevsky doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight. You can rest assured about this. The opponent doesn't have to wait until now to leave the city. And if you cut off the railway line, it means that we are going to close the door and fight the dog. When the time comes, Tukhachevsky  Vsky will either bite the bullet and defend the city, or he will retreat to Penza by train. You can leave the southern retreat for him.

    If he really dares to leave the city, you can eat him with the small force, and lead him by the nose with the large force to the east. His infantry will not be able to catch up with your cavalry no matter what, but don¡¯t let the fish get off the hook and expose its flaws.  , Be bold and careful, make your own decisions when necessary, and don¡¯t telegraph for instructions on everything!

    But remember that your cavalry brigade will be disguised as three divisions. You have to figure out how to create a big momentum. There is no other main Soviet force near Saransk. I think you can disperse the troops into cavalry battalions and spread them out.  First create enough momentum in the four villages and eight miles, and collect some food and supplies by the way. Wait until evening, and then suddenly insert it near the railway line, cut off the railway north of Saransk, light more torches, press more tents, if not, everyone  The soldiers put five scarecrows in military uniforms and set them up!  "

    It was rare for Kolchak to give so many instructions in such detail. Corbin blinked and felt confident after hearing this. He stood at attention and saluted, "Now I understand everything, Alexander Vasilyevich."  , Just look at it, I will lead a brigade and I will definitely turn Sarask upside down. Tukhachevsky will not leave the city until he is defeated. Once he comes out, I will capture him alive and bring him to the headquarters!"

    Next to him, the commander of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Division, Pyatov, was anxious and hurriedly asked, "What about my 4th Division? Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, do you want me to take a brigade? Corbin's 3rd Division is all the way.  I've had enough of being fooled by the pioneers. It's time to try my luck with my 4th Division. Who doesn't know how to fight a drowned dog? Tukhachevsky is not scared out of his mind. His gang released from the Volga Federation.  The morale and combat effectiveness of my subordinates who have returned are definitely not good!¡±

    "The 4th Division has a more important task. I will personally lead the 4th Division eastward. We will first go to the back of the 109th Group Army. The 5th and 6th Divisions will soon catch up with us and wait for us to outflank them.  In place, Guillaume Nikolayevich's Eastern Group will launch a comprehensive offensive. We will first annihilate the Soviet 10th Army in one go, and then deal with the 8th Army and Budyonny's cavalry.Soldiers!  "

    After a while, Kolchak finally made up his mind and planned to use a cavalry brigade to guard Tukhachevsky's 1st Army in Saransk, while he led the remaining main force of the Western Group to accelerate towards the east.  , outflank the Soviet 10th Army's rear path and attack the opponent's flank. Once the outflank is in place, Hastings from the north will lead the main force of the East Cluster to attack across the board, striving to completely annihilate the Soviet 10th Army within three days!

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, what if Voroshilov sees that the situation is not going well and his 3rd and 5th armies counterattack with all their might to mobilize our forces and attack Cheboksary on the northern front? We only have 3 left.  With the strength of one division, it is almost impossible to block the attack of an enemy group army. The combat effectiveness of Berzin¡¯s 3rd Army Group is particularly powerful. I am afraid that our northern front will suffer a loss! "

    Krashilnikov, the chief of staff of the Western Cluster, couldn't help but remind him. Kolchak frowned when he heard this, thought for a moment and said, "Peter Andreevich Gliniov led the North  The three divisions of the cluster can only hold on to Cheboksary to buy time for our main force to encircle and destroy the Soviet 10th Army on the southern front. If we cannot hold on, we will abandon Cheboksary and withdraw to Kazan!"

    "Abandon Cheboksary? We paid a huge price to occupy the capital of Chuva Province. It took only a few days for tens of thousands of people to die. Alexander Vasilyevich, how can we give up? Otherwise  How about we transfer the two elite infantry divisions from Kazan to Cheboksary? I don¡¯t think the Soviet Red Army can threaten the base camp of Kazan!¡± Krashilnikov¡¯s eyes rolled.  idea.
