    "That's right, that's what I mean. This old guy Furmanov understands what I'm thinking. We just have to pretend to be frightened by the news that Baliakin brought back, thinking that Kolchak has really  We led a Cossack cavalry division to surround Saransk, so we took advantage of the opponent's plan to persuade them to surrender and pretended to negotiate for surrender. We wanted to delay the opponent's offensive momentum and buy time to wait for reinforcements. As long as Kolchak believed this,  He himself breathed a sigh of relief first!"

    Xia Boyang found that it was a bit difficult to explain his plan clearly. Fortunately, Furmanov helped explain it just now. Kobozev, the political commissar of the group army, and the three young division commanders finally came to their senses.  Yes, Yakir, commander of the 4th Infantry Division here, spoke quickly and rushed to say,

    "I understand, I understand everything, Vasily Ivanovich, you are planning a series of tricks to confuse the real thing with the fake one. If we are waiting for the tiger in a tight formation, then if Kolchak really has only one cavalry division besieging the city, he will retreat in the middle of the night.  It is possible that he ran away because he was worried that we would expose his falsehood and attack him in the middle of the night. But as for us, we pretended to be attacked by him. The three division commanders who acted in front of him in Balyakin were all there.  The three Cossack cavalry divisions were also involved in the drama, believing it to be true."

    "So what?" Korke, the commander of the 1st Infantry Division, touched his head and felt that his brain was really not enough, so he was not afraid of blushing and asked.

    "We just want Kolchak to think that we are convinced that he has three divisions under the city of Saransk. Of course we will not go out of the city to counterattack. We will defend the city cautiously. In order to wait for the main force to arrive, we only made a false promise.  Negotiate with the other party on the matter of surrender. Now, of course Kolchak will not believe that we will surrender, but he will believe that we are intimidated by his three divisions and are trying to use the surrender negotiations to delay time. And this,  It just fits his original intention of delaying time to scare us, waiting for his main force of the Western Cluster to catch up."

    Yakir was very eloquent and intelligent. As soon as he explained Xia Boyang's plan to surrender, Xia Boyang and Furmanov both nodded their heads after hearing this.

    The commander of the Infantry Division here, Ubolevich, also completely came to his senses and shouted happily, "I understand, I also understand. Kolchak knew that we were pretending to surrender in order to buy time, but because of his strength, he  He is weak and wants to scare us instead of running away all night long, so he takes advantage of us to pretend to surrender in order to delay time. He can also delay it, so he may be able to sleep peacefully! "

    "That's right! The key to my fake surrender plan is to take advantage of Kolchak's luck, weaken his vigilance, and prevent him from retreating for dozens of miles regardless of the situation. As long as he takes the risk of staying under the city, we will  If we can take advantage of him and launch a surprise attack at night, we may not have a chance to capture this guy alive. Even if we only eat one brigade of the opponent's troops, it will be of great benefit to dampen the enemy's energy and boost our morale." Xia Boyang waved!  Fist said firmly.

    "Vasily Ivanovich, don't forget about the seizure of war horses, weapons, cannons and machine guns. Even if you drag back hundreds of killed horses and cook them, the whole army can eat pickled horse meat for a few weeks, right?"  Sooner or later, our mixed cavalry division will have to be launched. Old man, when the time comes, your first division will use the captured horses to form a cavalry regiment. Our other divisions will also have to form at least a cavalry battalion, like a group army scout cavalry, right?  What happened when the battalion rode into battle on mules and donkeys will never happen again!" Furmanov said calmly from the side.

    "Okay, I, Xia Boyang, have almost finished talking about his strategy. Do you have any other opinions?" Group Army Commander Tukhachevsky promptly brought the focus of the meeting back and scanned the crowd and said.

    "Agree to exchange prisoners with Kolchak, and the civilian husband will accept it, and then send someone to negotiate with him about the adaptation. Otherwise, ask Kolchak to send a personal representative to the city to see our commander.  We can also kill the other party by spending time with them to dispel the other party's vigilance. By the way, we can find out the other party's real situation from the mouths of the prisoners and civilians who have been released. As long as the other party only has one cavalry division under the city and fails to evacuate in time, we can  Just launch a surprise attack at midnight, use the 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Infantry Division to capture the opponent's headquarters in one go, and the battle will be won!" Xia Boyang quickly recounted his strategy.

    "I can! But is it insufficient to send only the 2nd and 3rd divisions? The morale of my 4th Division is strong, and at least one brigade can be sent to attack together!" Yakir, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, is eager to try.

    "It's absolutely no problem for my 2nd Division and Kolk's 2nd Division to hold Saransk for the army for one night. Doesn't the opponent only have one division outside the city? Even if it flees, it won't rush towards Saransk, right? Gao  Erchak only has one division, right?" Ubolevich, the commander of the Infantry Division, said, rubbing his head, obviously still feeling a little weak.

    Tukhachevsky was dissatisfied with UbolevAt a glance, it was obvious that he was a little angry at the cowardice of the commander of the 3rd Division, but he did not intend to let Yakir's 4th Division also attack. Although the Moscow working class was one of the forces of the Bolsheviks, it was not the same as those already on the Eastern Front of the former Soviet Union.  Compared with the veterans of the Red Army who had been struggling for half a year under the First Group Army, they were still very immature. Although the morale of these veterans of the First and Second Infantry Divisions had not yet fully recovered from the lack of food and clothing after being repatriated as prisoners of war.

    However, facing Kolchak's White Guards, he believed that the performance of the two fully-staffed main divisions led by Xia Boyang and Furmanov would not disappoint him. Tukhachevsky made up his mind that if everything went well,  Tonight is a good time for our Third Army to capture His Excellency Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak on the southern front. If this dangerous enemy of the Soviet power really falls into the hands of the Soviet Red Army one day, it will be a disaster.  Only our own Army Group is suitable to undertake this glorious mission.

    "Mikhail Nikolayevich, I firmly oppose any peace and negotiation practices. As the general person in charge of Army Group Cheka, I cannot bear this responsibility. Either we send a telegram to request approval from the Front Army Headquarters! Otherwise!  The consequences of this incident are too great. If we win and capture Kolchak, everything will be over. If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility?" Kobozev, the political commissar of the group army, panicked.  It was obvious that Tukhachevsky was really planning to adopt Xia Boyang's night attack plan of false surrender.
