    "Hey! I'm talking about political commissar, if Yakir and the others can't even deceive you, how can they deceive the Cossacks and White Guards?! Don't worry, next time it will be the Cossacks who will wave the white flag for us. We are Bolsheviks, we are  The glorious Soviet Red Army soldiers can't always charge into battle with a white flag, no! Don't you think so? Xia Boyang, the commander of the 1st Division, laughed and told the story.

    "How else can we fight? It's a full 5 kilometers from the south of the city to the two villages. Fortunately, the sun is not shining brightly when we walk on the boulevard to Ruzayevka, but it is also very hot.  It was already too late when the other side's sentries discovered us, and we held white flags and white towels to help. The other side really thought we were out of the city to contact and surrender.

    Moreover, the enemy's cavalry battalion was scattered in the village on both sides of the road. They were burying pots, cooking, drinking, and horses resting. As soon as we approached, we shouted "Ula" and rushed forward. After three rounds of volleys, no one of the enemy was left, except for those who were killed.  , those 13 prisoners who were injured and fell off their horses and couldn't run away. When the army was dividing the horse meat, my 13th regiment deserved more points for their hard work. How long have you not tasted the taste of meat?

    Of course, the casualties were a little undeserved. An infantry company we deployed on the flank was broken through, and more than twenty brothers were killed. Fortunately, the battle was finally won. The injured prisoner still dared to speak harshly and said that he was too high.  Erchak will lead the 4 main cavalry divisions to arrive in a little while, and then they will flatten Saransk and drag Tukhachevsky to death behind the horse!  Together, I gave him a kick and sent him to see the Lord to repent!  "

    When Yakir said this, he couldn't help but show a hint of pride and dignity. Hearing this, the commander of the 3rd Division Ubolevich and the Commander of the 5th Division Kolker looked envious. Furmanov and Xia Boyang were beside them.  Everyone frowned when they heard this, thinking about what Kolchak said that the main force of the four cavalry divisions would arrive in a short while. Could it be that the Cossack cavalry outside the city only has the strength of one division?  Can't?

    Sure enough, Tukhachevsky frowned, stared at Yakir with a solemn expression and asked, "Jona Emanujlovic, you just said that the prisoners said that Kolchak was leading 4 cavalry divisions.  How long will it take for the main force to arrive? There is only one cavalry division surrounding us."

    "Yes, I interrogated a few more guys, but several prisoners said so, but how is this possible? They must have colluded to deceive us, making us temporarily underestimate the enemy and stay outside the city, so that their main force can follow  The two sides came around to create conditions to encircle my troops. At noon, there were a full brigade of cavalry running in circles in front of our position in the south of the city. How could there be only one cavalry brigade when the four sides combined to surround us?  The enemy cavalry's numbers and flags and uniforms are not exactly the same. The enemy occupied the train station in the north of the city and made such a big noise. How can it be possible that there is only one division? "

    Yakir spoke quite proudly, but found that Tukhachevsky, Xia Boyang and Furmanov all looked a little serious, and their voices couldn't help but feel guilty.

    "Vasily Ivanovich, Dmitri Andreevich, what do you think?" Among the people Tukhachevsky can trust at critical moments are Xia Boyang and Furmano  Husband, this old partner and his subordinates.

    "If you ask me, this is really possible. Originally, the enemy came faster than we expected. It is impossible to say that the entire five cavalry divisions of Kolchak's Western Cluster marched together to kill Saransk.  , the marching road has always been so wide, and there are forward and rear troops, how can five divisions arrive side by side? According to my previous judgment, the enemy outside the city in front of me is at most 2 or 3 divisions strong!  "Xia Boyang thought for a moment and said this.

    "What now? The enemy Yakir defeated in the south of the city only had one cavalry battalion. Before, it looked like a brigade!" Kobozev, the political commissar of the group army, couldn't help but ask.

    "This is difficult to judge. After all, the south of the city is the farthest away from the enemy's base camp in the northwest corner of Zi'ah. Moreover, Yakir led the 13th Infantry Regiment and did not dare to go further. Although there is only one battalion in these two villages.  There are many Cossack cavalry, but there are still more than a dozen villages of this size five kilometers south of the city. Are there other Cossack cavalry stationed there?" Xia Boyang pondered.

    "Hey! Tie up the prisoners and beat them up. I don't believe they won't tell the truth. How many troops are there?" Ubolevich, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, shouted uncontrollably from the side.

    "It's useless, Iyeronim Petrovich, I have beaten them to death in the village before. Several prisoners said the same thing. Their battalion belongs to the 10th Regiment of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division.  , they don¡¯t know the location and situation of the rest of the troops. Their battalion¡¯s mission is to monitor our actions five kilometers south of the city and cut off the traffic on the boulevard from Saransk to Ruzayevka. That¡¯s it.??, the others can¡¯t ask anything!  "Yakir said helplessly spreading his hands.

    "That's not cruel enough, but just now the head of the carriage dragging this string of grasshoppers is no longer an adult shape, so I may not ask anything."  said the thick upper lip.

    "Come here, give me an order to ask the military doctor to look at the wounds of the White Guard prisoners. They should bandage them and give them water. When I recover, I will interrogate them myself!" Tukhachevsky became anxious and rushed with his hands behind his back.  He shouted at the door, and soon the orderly outside the door agreed and went to deliver the order.

    "Dmitri Andreevich, what do you think? The enemy's main force seems to be at the train station in the north of the city, just in front of the 2nd Division. Can you figure out how many troops the opponent has at this moment? I  I can¡¯t believe that the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division actually used one division to pretend to be three divisions to surround us. This is simply too deceptive!¡± The commander of the group army was obviously a little anxious.

    "Mikhail Nikolayevich, Comrade Xia Boyang and I had the same feeling before. Although the Cossack cavalry was menacing, it was a bit like thunder but little rain. Of course, maybe Kolchak was reluctant to give up.  It is easy to launch an siege with cavalry troops, so we showed off our power in Saransk and made a fuss. I hope we will mess up the position first. At present, it seems that the enemy troops outside the city are definitely not the main force of the Kolchaksi cluster. This is  There is no doubt that judging from the number of artillery, the opponent only has the firepower of 4 artillery companies, and only 2 artillery companies are firing! "

    Furmanov¡¯s words were unhurried, but Tukhachevsky¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard them. Xia Boyang had already said,
