    "Commander, in my opinion, we can't just ask Kolchak to shoo away flies and huddle with the 10th Army. We are a cavalry unit, and there is no use for us surrounded by hundreds of thousands of infantry.  I think Kolchak is happy to drive us to Simbirsk like sheep into a pen. How about we do the opposite and go north? "

    "Going north?" The words of the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Division made Budyonny and Timoshenko couldn't help shouting!

    July 29, 1918 11:30, 98 kilometers west of Simbirsk, Kolchak West Group Headquarters

    "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Cluster, Hastings, called. The main force of the 10th Army of the Soviet Red Army has withdrawn southward. He led four divisions to catch up with the 1st Kamishin Infantry Division and the 42nd Infantry Division behind the opponent.  Division, about 2 enemy regiments were wiped out, and nearly a thousand prisoners were taken. Our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. The two divisions behind the opponent's rear had been defeated. The remaining troops were flowing in three directions: southeast, south and southwest. Lord Hastings led  The 4th, 5th and 7th Kazan Divisions are already chasing south!"

    The confidential staff officer sent a just-received telegram to Kolchak, who was having lunch with his deputies in the headquarters tent. Here, the chief of staff of the Western Group and the Cossack chief Roman Mikhainovich Kra  Silnikov stood up and snatched the telegram from the hands of the confidential staff officer. He glanced at it briefly and then raised his head.

    "Alexander Vasilyevich, the Soviet 10th Army has escaped. The Kazan 6th Division in the Eastern Cluster has suffered a lot of casualties. Now it stays with Buyinsk to rest and recuperate, waiting for the 8th Kazan Infantry Division and 9th Infantry Division behind it.  After the divisions came up, they moved south together. Hastings led three divisions in pursuit. The main five divisions of the Soviet 10th Army had already taken the lead in evacuating Buyinsk and heading south at around 8 o'clock in the morning! "

    Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak, the supreme governor of the All-Russian Provisional Government in Kazan and the commander-in-chief of the White Guards, put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up a napkin and wiped Wan's mouth, and reached out to take Krasi  After carefully reading the telegram manuscript in Ernikov's hand, he raised his head and said, "Bring me the map!"

    A few orderlies here quickly removed the plates, knives, forks and leftover food from the dining table, replaced them with a napkin, and then spread a military map on it. Kolchak and Krashilnikov both  Get closer.

    "Commander-in-Chief, the line from Buyinsk to Simbirsk is about 78 kilometers. Our current location is here, less than 100 kilometers west of Simbirsk. From the telegram, if Hastings takes three  If the division has gone south to pursue, then they may now be 10 kilometers south of Buyinsk! The remainder of the defeated enemy divisions may be 5-10 kilometers south of them. "

    Kranishilkov is not a vegetarian either. Although this guy has a big belly and rides a horse, it is a bit hard, but it does not mean that he is a idiot. As the chief of staff of the Western Cluster, this guy has entered the role very well, using red  The blue pencil immediately marked the respective positions of the East and West clusters of the White Guards on the map. Ten kilometers south of Buyinsk, the three blue arrows represented the Kazan that Hastings' first line was chasing.  4th, 5th and 7th Infantry Divisions.

    Immediately afterwards, this guy drew three red triangles about 5 kilometers south of the three blue arrows, representing the 1st Kameshin Division and the 42nd Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army that fled in three directions after being defeated.  the remainder.  100 kilometers west of Simbirsk, four eastward blue arrows are drawn from south to north, representing the four semi-cavalry divisions of the Western Cluster moving eastward.

    "Where will the main force of Giddis's 10th Army be now? If the opponent had retreated southward two and a half hours earlier, they would have been able to run 20-25 kilometers at most and hit the sky!" Kolchak came from the west  The cluster chief of staff took the red and blue pencils in his hand, made a gesture, and drew five red triangles about 25 kilometers south of the three blue arrows in Hastings.

    "That's right. The infantry is running south along the road in the Great Plains. I think it would be great to be able to go 25 kilometers in 2 and a half hours. Unless the opponent is forced to march lightly, even then they won't be able to run very far.  So, the current position of the Soviet 10th Army is between Simbirsk and Buyinsk, that is, about 35 kilometers north of Simbirsk?" Kranishilkov raised his head and said.

    "It is possible to move further west. Don't forget that Simbirsk has been included in the demilitarized buffer zone by the Volga Federation. Gidis's five divisions would not dare to enter the demilitarized buffer zone in full force.  That is to say, most of the Soviet 10th Army is now located 35-38 kilometers northwest of Simbirsk, and the direction of travel should be to the southwest rather than due south!" Kolchak frowned.

    "Well, you are right, but Commander-in-Chief, will Gidis use this demilitarized buffer zone to make a fuss? Although it is designated as a demilitarized buffer zone by the Volga Federation, there is no border patrol by the Volga Federation.  Troops, Giddis took this opportunity to run??It is possible to escape our pursuit in the demilitarized buffer zone and then leave this area in the south, right?  "

    Kranishilkov took out a pipe and lit it, narrowing his eyes and asking.

    "Well, I don't think that Gidis dares to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Although the Volga Federation does not station border security forces in the demilitarized buffer zone, reconnaissance aircraft patrol the air along the border of the demilitarized buffer zone almost 24 hours a day.  Yes, if you really piss off the Chinese king, I think the Soviet 10th Army will be self-defeating. Let¡¯s just assume that they dare not enter the demilitarized buffer zone! Otherwise, the fifty-kilometer gap on the left bank of the Volga River is too big!  , both sides don¡¯t know how to fight this battle!¡±

    Kolchak¡¯s tone was full of helplessness, and he was muttering in his heart, if he had agreed to the armistice request of the Allied Powers, where would the Volga Federation and the non-military buffer zone be?  The entire Volga Federation is under the jurisdiction of the All-Russian Provisional Government. With the support of the Allied Powers, it will be much better than the current situation where we are struggling and stretched, right?  But could he really sit down and have peace talks with the Soviet Union?

    No, the White Guards and the Soviet Red Army are in a life-and-death relationship, and there is no room for mediation. No matter what, you must stick to this path to the end!
