    The cavalry battalion commander was wiping the blood and sweat from his face, thinking rapidly, and his words were becoming smoother. However, the number of enemies and his own results had unconsciously shrunk a lot.

    "Alexey Vasilyevich, what should we do now? Should we send the 10th Cavalry Regiment to fight back to the south of the city, teach the opponent a harsh lesson, and put our three cavalry divisions up again?"  "The 5th Brigade Commander Klimov said this, but in his heart he had no hope of successfully fooling Tukhachevsky again. The three cavalry battalions of the 10th Cavalry Regiment were located in the west and south of the city.  He Chengdong pretended to be three cavalry brigades and kept running in circles around the city. At this time, the people who were tired early were exhausted. How could they concentrate their troops?

    What's more, Wopasbski's cavalry battalion had one guy eat up a whole company and was captured prisoner. As long as Tukhachevsky wasn't a pig-headed person, he could quickly figure out what was going on when he interrogated the prisoners.  The Cossack cavalry in Lansk is only a brigade of 5,000 people. Even the Cossacks below the commander of the 5th brigade thought that Lord Kolchak would arrive before evening with the main force of 4 cavalry divisions. They might not be able to hide this from the command of the Soviet Red Army.  Officials, especially the cunning Tukhachevsky, really don't dare to hope.

    "It's too late! Pass my order. The cavalry battalion commander Wopasbski has been demoted to the acting battalion commander of the 3rd battalion of the 10th regiment. Tell the remaining Cossacks in your battalion to keep their mouths shut. The defeat in the south of the city is not allowed.  Tell the other troops, otherwise the front and back accounts will be calculated, and it will be easy to shoot you! Now get out of here!" Division Commander Corbin said angrily.

    "Hey! Thank you, commander, for not killing, and thank you, brigade commander, for teaching me!" Wopasbski got up from the ground with a smile after hearing this, staggered, and saluted Corbin and Klimov with a military salute.  With the help of the orderly soldiers, Gua limped out of the big tent of the division headquarters.

    "Commander, are we really going to stop playing the empty city strategy? If Tukhachevsky sees the clues, even if he only sends two main divisions out of the city to counterattack, we will not be able to withstand it!" 5th Brigade  Chief Klimov said anxiously.

    "We only have 2 companies of artillery and only 2 battalions of heavy machine guns. In terms of firepower, we cannot pretend to be the posture of three cavalry divisions. In fact, I feel a little regretful now. The previous fire reconnaissance and deterrence in the north of the city  It was a bit of a misstep. I think Tukhachevsky discovered that the density of artillery fire in the north of the city where we were mainly attacking was not very strong, so he had the courage to send out counterattack troops on the southern outskirts of the city where we were the weakest. He was careless!"

    The commander of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Division, Corbin, was slapping his forehead in pain. Only the division commander Corbin himself and the brigade commander Klimov were left in the tent, so there was nothing for them to hide.

    "Isn't our brigade's empty city plan any longer? Isn't it true that you asked me to spread the false news below that Lord Kolchak would lead the four main divisions of the Western Group in the evening? Tukhachevsky learned from the prisoners  After asking clearly, do you really take it seriously?" Brigadier Klimov said unwillingly with a sense of luck. At this time, he realized how wise it was for Corbin to order him to spread false news earlier, otherwise he would not do it now.  There is no way out and no hope!

    "Tukhachevsky will never think that we are three or more divisions surrounding Saransk at this moment. I guess he will probably be dubious after interrogating the prisoners at this moment. He might take our  The actual strength is judged to be 1 or 2 divisions. If he decides to attack now, even if he only uses Xia Boyang's 1st Division and Furmanov's 2nd Division, then we can really do nothing but retreat.  You can't stop him." Division Commander Corbin murmured as he walked back and forth in the tent, stroking his beautiful mustache.

    "Alexey Vasilyevich, what should we do if the other party attacks us? Do we fight to the death with them or do we really retreat? Then how can we complete the task assigned to us by Mr. Kolchak? We haven't even been here for a day.  I can't bear it if my 5th Brigade is chased around by a bunch of Bolshevik recruits!" said the stout brigade commander Klimov with a blushing face.

    "Igor Yegorjevich, what do you think the Soviet Union would do if we were the main force of the five cavalry divisions led by Lord Kolchak in Saransk, Tukhachevsky  No matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, his 1st Army has mostly new soldiers and lacks food and ammunition. He will definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight!" Corbin turned to his brigade commander and said.

    "Of course, he is the main force with 42,000 people. We have 5 cavalry divisions and artillery heavy machine gun battalions with a total strength of nearly 60,000. He definitely can't take advantage. What's more, he is a group army reorganized with new recruits. I'm not bragging.  Our 5th Cavalry Brigade can definitely defeat his full infantry division on the plain, but I'm afraid it can't be done with two divisions. With a strength difference of 4 times, this battle will be difficult to maneuver." Klimov still didn't understand what he was thinking!  What did the teacher want to say?

    ¡°My Excellency, my brigade commander, what I want to say is that if the main five divisions of our Western Group surround Saransk, Tukhachevsky will certainly not dare to leave the city.There is no other way out than guarding, but what about Voroshilov?  This guy is the new deputy commander and second political commissar of the Soviet Volga Front. He is actually responsible for commanding the main force of the entire front. Voroshilov, who is in Nizhny Novgorod, can sit back and watch Tukhachevsky being surrounded.  Ignore it?  "Master Corbin patiently inspired his subordinates' ideas.

    "This is definitely not possible, but Your Excellency Kolchak is not judging. The Soviet Volga Front's 3rd and 5th armies in Nizhny Novgorod are most likely to launch a counterattack on the northern front, with the goal of recapturing Cheboksa  Does the Thunder-Iron Triangle attract our main force from the south to return to the north? According to the Chinese art of war, what is this called? Yes, encircle Wei and save Zhao! Why, division commander, isn't that what it is?" Brigadier Klimov was puzzled.  asked.

    "Besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao is right. Of course Voroshilov can make this choice, but at this point in the war, the gains and losses of one city and one place should no longer be the biggest pursuit between the Soviet Red Army and us. Voroshilov  What do you think he would do if he didn't surround Wei and rescue Zhao, especially when our Western Group's five cavalry divisions surrounded Saransk?" Corbin stared at Klimov.

    "Division commander, what do you mean, if Voroshilov gives up counterattack on the northern front, he will move the 3rd and 5th armies south to intercept the retreat of our Western Group?" Klimov looked at his own in surprise.  The teacher said.
