    Tukhachevsky frowned when he heard this, thinking that his cavalry reconnaissance battalion, which he had pieced together, could run out of a company of 7 or 80 people under the outflanking of the Cossack cavalry. Even if he burned high incense, he still arrested  Even if you are captured by others, thank God if you are not captured by others!

    Here Pasboev did not dare to eliminate his group army's political commissar, but replied honestly, "Commissar, everything happened too fast. The first thing we discovered was the dust from the north. The battalion commander also asked me to lead 1  We went up to the nearest place to do some reconnaissance and came back. I guess the Cossack cavalry also came from the east. We were lucky that we didn't ask the enemy to take prisoners. According to my analysis, the enemy's leading troops arrived at least 3 cavalry divisions!  You can¡¯t go wrong!¡±

    "Okay! Take your company down to find a place to rest first. Don't spread rumors about anything. Several cavalry divisions surrounded us. Don't spread rumors at all. Take the time to eat and rest. If the news leaks out, I want you.  Go down!" Tukhachevsky kicked Pasiboev angrily. The latter staggered, saluted, and held his horse, which was also sweating.  The thin horse went out.

    "Political Commissar, you command the 5th Division to guard the fortress. I will lead the guards to the 1st Division position!" Tukhachevsky hurriedly tied up his armed belt and walked out. The political commissar Kobozev was anxious.  He grabbed Tukhachevsky and said, "Comrade Commander, it is your position to command the entire five divisions of the group army at the headquarters. I will go to the 1st Division position for you! Am I still the Chief of Staff!"

    At this moment, a confidential staff officer ran out of the war room and reported, "Commander Xia Boyang called from the position of the 1st Division. About 3,000 Cossack cavalry troops passed by the position in the east of the city and had already rushed to the north. His scouts were replaced.  I put on ordinary people's clothes and blended in with the people fleeing from the city, but I'm afraid it won't be that fast to find out the true identity of the enemy! "

    When Tukhachevsky heard this, he stopped. Thinking that Kobozev really couldn¡¯t shoulder the responsibility of commanding the entire army, he patted this guy on the shoulder and said,

    "Okay, you take the guard to the position of Furmanov's 2nd Division in the north of the city. I'll go up to the bell tower and take a look. The temporary headquarters is located on the fortress bell tower. If there is any situation, report back as soon as possible. Call Furmanov  Don¡¯t be anxious, first find out the enemy¡¯s strength! His position is based on the new city, and the lanes are complicated, so the opponent will not launch a surprise attack for a while!¡±

    Rumors that the White Guard cavalry troops had surrounded Saransk had spread throughout the city. People were blocking the southern and western city gates and trying to flee, while the Soviet Red Army guarding the gates was closing the door.  For a time, the whole city was filled with chaos and an atmosphere of tension and panic.

    Tukhachevsky climbed up to the bell tower and saw all this with a telescope. Panting, he couldn't help but burst out of breath. He ordered the city gates to be opened wide, and all the people who wanted to flee were allowed to get out. I mounted a heavy machine gun on the tower.  Okay, anyone who goes out and comes back will be killed without mercy!

    July 29, 1918 12:00 Headquarters of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division about ten kilometers northwest of Saransk

    "Sir, that kid is refusing to speak. Two of his riding whips have been broken, and there is no good piece of meat on his butt. But if he doesn't speak, or he is tied to the back of the horse and dragged to death, let's just chop him to death with a saber.  Seven or eight of our brothers were killed, and the leading battalion of the 5th Brigade was killed by a group of infantrymen riding mules led by this guy, causing more than a hundred casualties!" Yi, commander of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division!  Ger Yegorevich Klimov came into the doorway breathing heavily.

    "What's that kid's name?" Division Commander Corbin asked indifferently, looking up from the battle map spread out on the table.

    "Gnigory Gryevich Melekhov is a Don Cossack from the Tatar tribe! He has a bad temper and won't speak no matter how hard he beat him, but my men pried his mouth open from his subordinates.  There is no use in keeping him, so take him out and kill him to avenge the Cossack brothers who died in the battle, right?" The stout 6th Brigade Commander was still feeling sorry for the Red Army cavalry battalion commander named Genigori who died in the battle, right?  Those seven or eight cavalry subordinates.

    "Is it from the Melekhov family? I know this family, so this Grigory has participated in the battles with the Germans on the Eastern Front, hasn't he, and has made meritorious service and received awards? Is he this person?" Corbin narrowed his eyes.  He looked at his brigade commander Klimov.

    "Hey, he's that brave man from the Melekhov family. He served as a cavalryman in the Tsar's army and made some great contributions on the Eastern Front. But then he did something bad and defected to the Bolsheviks. I think he should be executed!  He is just a cavalry battalion commander of the Soviet Red Army, Tukhachevsky will not take him seriously!" Klimov opened his mouth in surprise, and then murmured.

    "Detain him first and then treat the wounds. Isn't the battalion he leads the reconnaissance cavalry battalion of Tukhachevsky's 1st Army Headquarters? Maybe we can find out something about him as the battalion commander that we don't know.  Information coming, the prisoners belowWhat was asked here?  "The commander of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division disapproved and stopped Klimov's idea of ??taking personal revenge, and turned to ask other prisoners about the interrogation.

    Klimov nodded helplessly, walked to the map, and described the situation of prying it out of the mouth of the captured Soviet reconnaissance cavalry.

    ¡°Only Tukhachevsky¡¯s 1st Army was stationed in Saransk, with a strength of five infantry divisions. However, only the Chapayev Infantry Division and the Furmanov Infantry Division were fully equipped with 12,000 men and weapons.  The other three Saransk divisions, the 3rd, 4th and 5th divisions, only have more than 6,000 soldiers. Half of the soldiers don't even have rifles, and the opponent's total strength is only about 30 rounds of ammunition per person.  There are 42,000 people, and there is also a civilian team of 5,000 people!¡±

    Brigadier Klimov looks like a vulgar guy, but when it comes to business he is meticulous and clear-headed, otherwise he would not be able to be the brigade commander of the 5th Brigade, the main force of the 3rd Division, like Corbin.

    "How many artillery and heavy machine guns does Tukhachevsky have in Saransk?" Corbin asked with a frown. The opponent had two full infantry divisions, which made Alexey Vasilyev  Q. Corbin was a little surprised. The names Chapayev and Furmanov sounded so familiar. Could it be that they were the division commander and political commissar of the mixed cavalry division in the Soviet 1st Army?

    "Let me ask you clearly. The 1st Group Army was basically reorganized after being wiped out. I heard that there are only 2 artillery companies with 12 cannons, and there are very few artillery shells. There are more heavy machine guns. I guess we can make up for it.  Send out 3 heavy machine gun battalions
