Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Several young division commanders were stunned by the suggestions put forward by Xia Boyang, the big brother division commander. At this moment, Yakir suddenly realized how bold and productive a person really is. Xia Boyang was a legendary hero of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army.  Character, the trick he came up with is more than ten times more difficult than his own false surrender. The entire army is falsely surrendering?  How dare you think!  Who dares to agree?  Who will take care of it if something goes wrong?  Who can live in a pocket?

    Almost everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on the face of Army Commander Tukhachevsky. Unexpectedly, Tukhachevsky just frowned slightly and said to Xia Boyang,

    "Vasily Ivanovich, tell me your specific thoughts. The political commissar and several division commanders should listen carefully! Don't make any noise without my permission. Comrade Xia Boyang, you can speak!" Obviously!  The commander of the group army is also a daring leader. How could he plan to lead the 4-man Army Group to stage a fake surrender operation in the entire city of Saransk that is unbelievable even if he thinks about it?

    Xia Boyang was a man with a violent temper and no fear of anything. Seeing that Tukhachevsky did not scold him for his whimsical idea but asked him to go on in detail, this guy immediately became energetic and quickly walked to the battle map to grab the  He picked up a red and blue pencil and pointed at the Saransk city defense diagram and said,

    "Commander, political commissar, my judgment is that Kolchak's main force has not yet arrived in Saransk, and the troops around him should range from one cavalry division to one cavalry division. Of course, the possibility of less is not impossible, but for now  I think the other side only has one cavalry division plus troops directly under the headquarters, plus artillery and heavy machine gun battalions, so I can only have one person."

    "Now Kolchak clearly wants to scare us with an empty city tactic. As for why the opponent said it was an empty city tactic, firstly, the exploratory bombardment launched by the opponent in the north of the city was not very strong, and it killed an artillery company. Thirdly, the opponent's fourth attack in Saransk was  The cavalry dispatched from the city are just battalions pulling banners and pulling tiger skins. Even if the enemy's strength is doubled, their combined strength in the west and east of the city will not exceed a cavalry regiment, and the main attack direction in the north of the city is  The strength is within the range of a regiment to a cavalry brigade!¡±

    "Based on this analysis, even if Kolchak came to Saransk in person, he would only bring one Cossack cavalry division with him when he charged into Saransk. It was probably Klimov's cavalry division. If he wanted to capture our Saransk  It¡¯s just a daydream. My current analysis shows that the opponent should be using cavalry battalions or even companies as units to besiege the city in four villages and eight miles on the outskirts of Saransk, posing as the main force and setting fire to the villages on the outskirts of the city to confuse and interfere with our vision.¡±

    "Now Kolchak's statement that the recruitment of people to surrender will end at noon tomorrow, and that he will launch a full-scale attack to crush Saransk before the expiration date is completely stalling for time, trying to frighten us while ensuring their own safety. As for letting go  Thousands of civilians who were captured and worked for them to build railways returned to the city of Saransk, also to confuse our sight. Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party's spies sneaked in and tried to cause sabotage, or even opened the city in the middle of the night.  Setting fires and messing around makes us useless.¡±

    Vasily Ivanovich Chapayev, the legendary hero of the Soviet Red Army who was 20 years old, made a very clear and thorough analysis in front of the map. From Tukhachevsky to the Political Commissar Section in the headquarters war room  Bozev and several division commanders listened with rapt attention. Even Balyakin, the political commissar of the Political Propaganda Department who was still sitting on a chair to breathe after being seriously injured, also shifted his attention from his miserable nose to Xia Boyang's face.  .

    "Vasily Ivanovich, even if what you said is correct, Kolchak only brought one division to scare us and delay us. Do you dare to say that if the main force of the opponent is not there, we can catch up at night with just one shot?"  We can definitely arrive tomorrow morning. In this case, what tactical goal do you want to achieve by pretending to surrender? If we talk about delaying time, Kolchak should be better than us before the main reinforcements from both sides arrive.  Do you want to delay it? Or do you plan to attack the enemy¡¯s cavalry division with our entire army and capture Kolchak alive?¡±

    Tukhachevsky threw a series of questions at Xia Boyang, and at the same time, several division commanders and political commissars and Kobozev were overwhelmed. It was obvious that the army commander was also desperately thinking of ideas and methods to solve the problem.

    "Mikhail Nikolayevich, the enemy is strong and we are weak on the southern front. Although our 3rd Army has an infantry division of more than 4 people, half of them are soldiers. The troops are short of food, clothing and ammunition.  The 4th and 4th divisions have no experience in large-scale tough battles. If we wait for Kolchak¡¯s main force to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning, we will have no other way out but to defend Saranskogen!¡±

    Xia Boyang looked at his army commander seriously. Although his words were helpless, they were reality.

    Unexpectedly, Xia Boyang¡¯s old partner here, the former political commissar of the mixed cavalry division and the current commander of the 1st Infantry Division, Furmanov, suddenly interjected,

    "If we can't beat them, we can leave. If we take over the occupied railway station in the north of the city, repair the railway, get on the train and go straight to Nizhny Novgorod,"No matter how maneuverable Erchak's Western Group is, his cavalry will never be able to catch up with the train, right?  "

    "Retreat? Who said we can abandon Saransk? Dmitry Andreevich, you must be responsible for what you say. Previously, the front army headquarters asked us to follow the Budyonny Cavalry Army to the east and go to Buyinsk  -In the round of the Simbirsk front line and the Second Army in Gidis, it was you and Xia Boyang who encouraged Tukhachevsky to refuse to accept the order at the same time, insisting that the Second Army should stay in Saransk!

    We are just one man now, and we say we want to withdraw, what will Nizhny Novgorod think?  What would Moscow think?  This is a life-and-death war, not a love affair and a family affair, one mood and one thought!  "Kobozev, the political commissar of the group army, was so angry that he jumped out again and shouted his opposition.

    "Shut up, everyone, and listen to what Xia Boyang has to say first!" Tukhachevsky stopped his political commissar's commotion with a livid face. He did not go to the east to meet with Gidisty Group Army before, nor did he retreat northward. Instead, he chose  In order to lead the Third Army to defend the ancient city and fortress of Saransk, now that Kolchak is approaching the city, he will retreat. Tukhachevsky feels that what Kobozev said is not wrong, and he cannot wipe out this old face.  , However, what he wanted to hear more at this moment was, what specific purpose could Xia Boyang achieve by feigning surrender?
