    "Grandma! It's going to collapse at the first touch. This battle is too evil!" Tukhachevsky breathed a sigh of relief. From the telescope, he could already see the happily returning troops a few kilometers away. Not only were the troops at the head  Division Commander Yakir had already put on a newly captured Cossack Don River horse, and even Pasboev, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Company riding beside him, and his cavalry also exchanged their guns for cannons and mounted the newly captured war horse.

    Behind the team were several large carts pulled by mules that came from nowhere. The carts seemed to be the horses of the Cossack cavalry who had been killed in the battle just now. Of course, there were also the dead and wounded Soviet soldiers.  Red Army soldiers, obviously, while Yakir's 13th Regiment of the 4th Division was victorious, they did not forget to clean the battlefield and drag the killed horses back to the city to be eaten as vegetables. This boy is really good at it!

    Tukhachevsky waved his hand and dismissed the messenger. He was obviously relieved. He couldn't help but praise Yakir, the commander of the 4th Division who had not returned to the city. He was really impressed by the commander of the group army just watching the battle through the telescope on the city wall.  The soldier was sweating. Due to the smoke rising from the fire set by the White Guard cavalry on the outskirts of the city, his vision was not good. This allowed Tukhachevsky to only vaguely see the contact and fighting between the two sides within a few kilometers through his telescope.

    It turned out that Yakir had been talking to Tukhachevsky before setting off, in order to catch him by surprise, and mainly to be able to approach the target smoothly without alerting the enemy too early. Yakir actually came up with a brilliant idea.  That is, the troops leaving the city lined up with guns on their backs, marching rather than fighting, and marched directly along the boulevard in the south of the city. Each Soviet Red Army soldier had a towel wrapped around his arm. The leading cavalry company of Pasboev  There was even a white flag ready.

    Yakir wants to play a fake surrender trick to fool the enemy. This is only possible if the army commander is as bold as Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky.  Political Commissar Kobozev was so stubborn that he must have thought that Yakir was planning to lead his team to rebel and surrender to the enemy.

    In any case, Yakir came up with this weird idea, and Tukhachevsky really dared to allow him to use this weird idea in front of the two armies. Although the 13th regiment, the main force of Yakir's 4th Infantry Division, only has more than 1,500 people.  Suddenly, walking and singing, he came under the nose of the Cossack cavalry battalion that was still toiling in two villages on the southern outskirts of the city.

    The so-called Ula shouted, prepared and unprepared. The Cossack cavalry battalion, which was resting its horses and lighting fires for cooking in the village, was already exhausted from the armed parade. Suddenly, it was surrounded at close range by the Soviet Red Army, which was three times more than itself.  When I came up, my eyes were really shattered. The cavalry battalion commander Wobu Pabuski got on his horse surrounded by the guards and rushed out first. The remaining more than 400 cavalry were leaderless and were shot by more than 1,500 Soviet Red Army volleys.  The people fell on their backs.

    If Xia Boyang's main force were to go out, most of the cavalry battalion that had spread sheep in the village would be eaten by dumplings. But Yakir's soldiers were all new soldiers after all, and they had already traveled a few kilometers to get there.  Out of breath, it was a miracle that the cavalry who used the human wave tactic to drive the opponent out of the village with a shout was already a miracle. The new soldier's gun was inaccurate, and his hands were shaking badly in panic. The key was that he had no bullets.  After three rounds of volleys, the opponent still managed to break through most of the enemy's encirclement. Only nearly 100 of the opponent's cavalry were eliminated and more than ten people were captured alive. On the contrary, more than 20 of them were chopped down by the sabers used by the opponent's counterattack when they broke through.

    In any case, Tukhachevsky's 1st Army took the risk to attack in the south of the city and achieved unexpected results. Although Yakir led the team back and ran out of the city very fast, it would not work if it was not fast. Who knows the Cossacks?  When will the cavalry reinforcements return and kill them? How will my two-legged people outrun the four-legged animals?

    Of course, the acting division commander did not forget to interrogate the prisoner temporarily, but the prisoner¡¯s explanation was shocking, okay?  Just one cavalry brigade?  Yaqir didn't believe it, and was deeply afraid that the other party was deliberately misleading him in order to hold back his troops. If he underestimated the enemy, it would be very painful to be killed by a cavalry regiment to retaliate.

    Although they were lining up with striding strides when leaving the city, the entire 13th Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division, from the division commander Yakir to the regimental commander political commissar and ordinary soldiers, were all nervous and anxious to leave without looking back.  Struggling to move forward?

    When people are nervous, their physical strength is exhausted very quickly, not to mention that the weather is so hot. The sun is so poisonous that it can dry people and dry horses. Of course, most of Pasboev's men ride mules.  It can resist for a while longer than a horse can!

    Finally, God blessed our army, and they actually won the battle in one fell swoop. Not only did they drive away the Cossack cavalry from two adjacent villages, and successfully captured prisoners, they even captured more than 30 ownerless war horses, and more than 40 horses that had been slaughtered.  A volley of guns knocked over the dead horses and injured them. Of course, they were all dead horses now. Who alive could handle it?

    The result of the interrogation of the prisoners was that the other party's cavalry battalion belonged to a battalion of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division of the Kolchaksi Cluster.A total of 560 people were deployed, and their mission was to monitor Saransk in the horse racing enclosure south of the city, block roads and collect food on the spot. Is it harming the people?  Cossacks are not beasts, not to mention that the people in these two villages are not supportive of the Cossacks. What do the enemy's people have to do with me?

    Although the injured prisoner was beaten ten times, he did not beg for mercy. He even dared to threaten Yakir, the ridiculously young acting division commander of the Soviet Red Army.  Chak will be able to arrive before evening with the main force of 4 cavalry divisions. By then, he will kill all of you in Saransk. Especially for a shameless person like you who went into battle and actually waved a white flag to deceive others. You will have to be dragged alive by the horses.  You can only relieve your anger by dying on the ground!"

    The Cossack prisoner had a penetrating wound to his chest. In fact, the injury was quite severe and fatal. He said this just to seek relief and to suffer less torture. Yona Emanujlovi, acting commander of the 4th Saransk Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army  Qi Yakir was also a hot-blooded guy. He went up and kicked the opponent on the head before he could finish his words. When the prisoner raised his head, he saw that he was dead.

    "Clean the battlefield, rest for 5 minutes, and quickly retreat to the city. Bring back the wounded and fallen comrades. Of course, the dead horses must also be brought back! The whole division has not eaten meat for how many days. These dozens of horses can be taken care of for several days.  Got it!

    Damn it, where is the injured horse that can¡¯t stand up?  I said, comrade, have you tightened the screws? You don¡¯t know this is war!  "Yakir walked up to a subordinate who was at a loss as he was dragging a horse with a broken leg. He took out his gun and shot the poor animal, and the animal was splashed.  The worker-turned-soldier¡¯s face was covered in blood.
