    At this time, another person burst in from outside the shelter. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the political commissar of the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division and Pavlov's deputy, Marat Bikmojevich Dzhugashvi.  Li, this guy came in sweating profusely and yelled, "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, what kind of battle is the 42nd Infantry Division? Our empty city plan is about to be completed. Now we have fallen short, so we asked others to come in and open it up."  At the breakthrough point, I think we have to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent will find out the truth from the prisoners' mouths, and we will not be able to resist the three divisions coming at us!"

    Dzhugashvili was now responsible for commanding the 1st Kameshin Division for Pavlov. Although the 1st Tsaritsyn Steel Infantry Division remained in Moscow and was changed into the 1st Guards Rifle Division, at least there were many brigade and battalions.  The commanders all followed Pavlov and Dzhugashvili to the 10th Army to take up their posts. In addition, the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division was originally one of the ace main divisions of the 10th Army, so everyone was quite energetic.  , of course, the Vasilyevs, who were placed in the 42nd Infantry Division in order to move their positions, had no choice but to say sorry.

    Pavlov frowned slightly. To be honest, the White Guards on the opposite side were not able to fight well. In his opinion, if it weren't for the fact that there were too few cannons and the 42nd Infantry Division was a new division with weak combat effectiveness, otherwise it would be better to use two divisions.  With the strength of the troops, he can definitely block the attack of the opponent's three divisions. Of course, the premise here is that the opponent only invested 3 divisions on the front line. Although it is not clear why the other infantry divisions of the White Guards' East Cluster did not appear, but sooner or later there will be a swarm.  It's coming, and I really can't stop it when the time comes.

    Thinking of this, Pavlov sighed and finally made the decision to retreat. The man waved his hand and said,

    "According to my order, Division Commander Vasilyev led the 42nd Infantry Division to leave the 169th Regiment to guard the current position. The remaining three regiments of the 42nd Infantry Division all evacuated the second position.  Under the leadership of Q. Bazhayev, we moved to the south, the faster the better.

    After the remaining artillery companies of the group army entered the new position, they threw all the artillery shells at the position of the original 166th Infantry Regiment that the opponent had occupied. Graglev led the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division to cover the 42nd Infantry Regiment.  The division retreated. Gorberman led the 1st Brigade and 4 heavy machine gun battalions to hold up the first-line positions of the three divisions for at least another hour. The opponent would not act rashly now, and maybe they were still there.  We are worried that we will fight back again and eat half of the opponent's incoming balls!  "

    As the former enemy commander of the rear guard and the chief of staff of the group army, Pavlov gave such an order. Although Vasilyev was not convinced, he had to hold his nose and accept the order. He stamped his feet fiercely, went out, mounted his horse, and led the guard.  I rushed to the position of my division, thinking in my heart, I will lead the 169th Regiment to hold for 20 minutes, and retreat when the 20 minutes are over. Anyway, you asked Graglev to lead a brigade to cover our flanks, didn't you?

    As soon as Vasilyevich went out, Dzhugashvili stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Chief of Staff, I think the situation is not good. Vasilyev might have run away as soon as he got back. Why should we bother?"  Cut off the rear for him? Let me tell you, while the White Guards' attention is on the 42nd Infantry Division, we can quickly withdraw the Kameshin 1st Infantry Division from other directions. That White Guards Hastings is not easy to deal with.  , I¡¯m afraid that the other side will soon see through our empty-city strategy, and we won¡¯t be able to stop them from attacking across the board!¡±

    When Pavlov heard this, he said angrily, "Advance followed by retreat is the essence of the empty city strategy. Of course, it's a bit of a failure at this moment, but as a staff officer of the group army, I also lead the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division.  How can we abandon the 42nd Division and run away first?

    You personally go to Gregglev's 2nd Brigade to supervise the battle and quietly move the team's position westward. Once Vasilyev withdraws, the opponent is likely to take advantage of the opportunity and launch a pursuit. At that time, you will attack from the flanks and severely attack the White Guards' attacking troops.  Raise your waist for a moment, and then retreat at full speed, but don't go directly south. You retreat to the southwest. That is the direction from which the Budyonni cavalry army is coming for reinforcements. I estimate that Hastings's main force will only pursue south.  "

    Dzhugashvili's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said with concern, "Division commander, what about you and the 1st Brigade? How can the positions of three divisions be held by one brigade? Let me tell you, as soon as we start fighting in the west  , while the enemy's attention is attracted, will you lead Golbmann's 1st Brigade to the south to meet up with the main force of the group army? How can we buy 2 hours of retreat time for the main force of the group army? Is this worthy of Gidis?  Old boy!"

    "Stop talking nonsense, I know how to fight. You go back and take control of the troops. Throw away all the jars and cans. Tell Gregglev that once the 2nd Brigade's blockade starts, they must act decisively and move diagonally to pursue the infantry on the other side.  The troops of the 42nd Division were hit hard on the waist, and then they ran diagonally across the position and retreated to the southwest. Don't be in love with fighting, absolutely don't be in love with fighting. Although Hastings is only Kolchak's chief of staff, I think he  It¡¯s difficult to deal with, very difficult to deal with, we must not be careless!¡±

    Pavlov worriedly ordered his teacher to??, Dzhugashvili is quite qualified to be a political commissar. It¡¯s a bit uneasy to ask him to lead a brigade in a tough battle. Fortunately, the commander of the 2nd Brigade, Grigolev, is considered to be brave and resourceful.  Guys, leading the 2nd Brigade shouldn't be too out of shape.

    As for Pavlov himself, he had already made a plan. Once Vasilyev retreated with the 42nd Division, if the White Guards launched a pursuit along the breach, then Dzhugashvili and Gregorev¡¯s Kameshin would  The 2nd Brigade rushed out from the flank to intercept. Taking advantage of the opponent's unsteady footing and confusion, they rushed the opponent in two stages and then retreated directly to the southwest. By then, most of the White Guards would be at a loss and even if they recovered, they would pursue.

    Most of them will first pursue Vasilyev's weaker 42nd Infantry Division in the south, and then choose to pursue their own 2nd Brigade that fled to the southwest. As for the east, the possibility of the opponent launching a full-line assault is not  After all, the scene he supported was a frontal defensive position of at least three divisions. Of course, Pavlov would not stupidly let his Kameshin 1st Brigade stay on the front line like this.

    Once the fighting begins in the west, Pavlov will quickly gather his troops, and together with Gorberman, he will lead the 1st Brigade to the southeast and retreat southward along the edge of the demilitarized buffer zone designated by the Volga Federation. In this way, even if the main force of the White Guard pursues  Come up, if you can't stop it, you can still lead your troops to withdraw into the buffer zone, and play a side ball or something. When the Volga Federation reacts, you will have already withdrawn to Simbirsk in the south to join the main force of the group army.
