    "If you put it this way, there is a Cossack cavalry brigade of the White Guards on each of our four divisions in the south city, north city, east city and west city? Then the opponent is the strength of two cavalry divisions?" Kobozev, political commissar and chief of staff of the group army, said.  He quickly figured it out with his fingers.

    "Vasily Ivanovich, you said on the phone before that the 1st Division wanted to catch the opponent off guard? What do you think specifically? Did you use the infantry of the 1st Division to chase the White Guard cavalry?"

    Tukhachevsky ignored Kobozev's words and turned to ask his favorite general Xia Boyang. Just now on the phone, Xia Boyang asked for an attack to find out the opponent's true and false intentions. Tukhachevsky did not dare to agree for a while.  He knew that Xia Boyang was a cavalry division commander and was used to charging. But at this moment, the entire 1st Group Army couldn't get together a battalion of cavalry. How about using an infantry division to chase the cavalry?  How to fight?

    Furmanov and other division commanders also turned their attention to Xia Boyang after hearing this. As the commander of the main division and the former commander of the cavalry division, the 31-year-old Xia Boyang was the most senior and oldest general of the 1st Army at this time.  Khachevsky is only 25 years old, the political commissar of the group army Kobozev is 28 years old, the other division commanders Furmanov is 27 years old, Ubolevich is 22 years old, Yakir is 23 years old, and the commander of the 5th Division  Kolker is 24 years old.

    "Comrade Commander, it is obviously not possible to chase the cavalry with infantry. I plan to borrow the cavalry reconnaissance battalion from the group army headquarters. In addition, I will borrow a heavy machine gun company. I will personally lead it to fight out from the junction of the east and south of the city.  , catching the opponent by surprise.

    I took a closer look at the position just now. The opponent's troops were moving in cavalry battalions. By now, the opponent's men and horses should be exhausted. I would lead a few hundred men to attack and bring back a few tongues.  If the opponent pursues us, we can just lure the opponent's cavalry to our position and kill them. Anyway, the moat is so wide, as long as we hold the bridge, the opponent will not be able to get across for a while!  "

    "Vasily Ivanovich, Kolchak is not easy to deal with. The Army Cavalry Reconnaissance Battalion was attacked by two enemy cavalry battalions in the northwest. Only one company came back. Battalion Commander Melehov and the other three hundred  Many people have been lost. If you go out now, the opponent's troops will be much larger than before. Isn't this a waste of money?" The political commissar of the group army shook his head like a rattle and was the first to stand up to object.

    At this time, the three acting division commanders Ubolevich, Yakir and Kolk also shook their heads and objected. If Xia Boyang's entire division slowly advances and attacks, they may still be invincible with only a few cavalry.  If you go out to grab a few bucks and leave, it is obvious what happened to the cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the Army Group.

    Even if you, Xia Boyang, were an extremely brave Red Army cavalry division commander, you can't stand it now. The 1st Army can't even get a few good horses. There are quite a few division and brigade commanders who ride mules. Where can I give you a look?  The cavalry used by the branch are used to attack?

    "Comrade Xia Boyang, you are the division commander of the main division of our 1st Army. You can't act rashly at this time. Kolchak's Western Group is the main Cossack cavalry division. Now just looking at the flags and numbers, 4  With the posture of a division, even if there is only a cavalry brigade on the opposite side of your division's position, the risk of attacking with a battalion is really high. Comrades' opinions are not unreasonable!"

    Tukhachevsky was obviously very hesitant. He wanted to know the strength of the enemy, but he was also afraid of asking someone to make dumplings once the attack was launched, which would cost a small battalion. If Xia Boyang was defeated, the 1st Group Army would not be able to fight this battle.  I can't explain it to Moscow.

    "I came out prepared this time. Our group army's cavalry reconnaissance battalion asked the enemy to make dumplings, so we were caught off guard. What's more, our cavalry battalion is not called a cavalry battalion. There are only a few horses. It's just a group of mules and donkeys.  The infantry, of course, had no chance of fighting when they were overtaken by the Cossack cavalry on Don horses. This time I attacked, the team must be lean. I selected all the mounts of the brigade, regiment and battalion cadres of the entire division and assigned them to the attack force. Commander,  If you give me another cavalry company, don¡¯t bring out the mules and donkeys. If you use the mules, they will be used to pull heavy machine guns. Don¡¯t let the donkeys show up!¡±

    Xia Boyang's confident and well-prepared attitude made several young division commanders from Moscow look at him with spontaneous respect. This is called revolutionary heroism. Comrade Xia Boyang in front of him is a typical representative!  This is an example for us to learn from and an example for all Soviet Red Army soldiers to learn from!

    "Dmitri Andreevich, you are Comrade Xia Boyang's old partner. Do you think it is feasible to attack now?" Tukhachevsky pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Ful, who had been thinking silently.  Manov, as three close comrades who emerged from the conflict in the Battle of Ufa, in fact, among the reorganized Soviet 1st Army, only Xia Boyang and Furmanov could be fully trusted by Tukhachevsky  , this is why Tukhachevsky prioritized the formation and support of infantry.??1. The reason why the 2nd Division is full of strength.

    "It should be possible to attack. However, the enemy is the Cossack cavalry, and it is obviously not as mobile as they are. Comrade Xia Boyang said that it is too risky to assemble a small cavalry unit to attack, and it is difficult to test the enemy's strength.

    According to my observation, Kolchak is setting up artillery positions in the north of the city, and the heavy machine guns are also concentrated in that direction. Obviously, the Cossack cavalry galloping in the other three directions are just to disturb people's eyes and ears and shake the morale of our troops. I suggest,  If you want to attack, you should at least send the main infantry force of one regiment, strengthen two heavy machine gun companies, attack from the south of the city, and catch the opponent by surprise!  "

    The strategy that Furmanov, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, came up with after careful consideration was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, but after everyone thought about it carefully, they felt that it might not be the safest strategy.

    "Well, Vasily Ivanovich, what do you think? The enemy's headquarters is obviously in the northwest or north. According to Comrade Furmanov's suggestion, we attack from the south of the city, and the enemy has to mobilize troops.  After a lot of effort, we pulled back after the fight, and the deal seemed to work!" Tukhachevsky was obviously more optimistic about Furmanov's suggestion.

    "Of course it is good to attack from the south of the city, but my 1st Division is all in the east position of the city. If we mobilize a large scale to the south of the city, I am afraid that the enemy will see it and it will be a warning. But we need to lead the 4th Infantry Division to attack from the south position nearby.  Well, there are many new soldiers in the 4th Division, and the weapons and equipment are not very good. They are afraid that they will not be strong enough after the attack, and instead of taking advantage of the enemy, they will take another advantage!" Xia Boyang pondered for a moment after hearing this, raised his head and waved his fist!  road.
