    Ulyanov, on the other hand, had already impatiently snatched the telegram manuscript from Sverdlov's hand, held it under the lamp and squinted his eyes to read it. Sverdlov simply sat down and listened directly to the instructions.  Lotsky explained that he was more relaxed and worry-free. Of course, the 1st Army Tukhachevsky was fooled by Kolchak's old suspicious formation. This made Sverdlov, the commander of the front army, also the commander of the front army.  The Vice Chairman of the Supreme Military Council who supported Tukhachevsky was a bit embarrassed, but on the plus side, at least a complete 1st Army Group was retained in Saransk, right?

    "Although Kolchak does not have as many artillery pieces as we do, his Cossack cavalry is very mobile. Just 2 hours ago, Kolchak's two cavalry divisions used night attacks to break through the long distance from the southwest.  The position of the 8th Group, which went north for reinforcements, attacked the army headquarters, eating up nearly one of our divisions and capturing at least 6 artillery batteries of artillery!

    The political commissar of the 8th Group, Mikhail Mikhailovich Rashevich, was wounded, and the chief of staff, Latyski, was killed. The 12th Infantry Division was almost completely wiped out. Now the 13th Infantry Division, the 15th Infantry Division and the 16th Infantry Division were  The division, under the command of Rashevich, had withdrawn to the second line of defense to organize the defense line.  "Trotsky said with bitterness in his tone. This shocking news stunned the Soviet and Russian central committee members present.

    Here Ulyanov hurriedly read the telegram, slammed the table and shouted, "The political commissar of the 8th Army, Rashevich, should be shot! Why didn't the security be strengthened? Why did the enemy disrupt the position by encircling him?  , Good guy, the army headquarters and artillery positions have been taken away. This is dereliction of duty, this is committing a crime and betraying the revolution. Dzerzhinsky, where are all the Chekas?  Why? Why is this happening! Someone give me the answer!¡±

    Although the Chairman of the Central Committee of Soviet Russia was small, he had a loud voice. He had a layer of oily sweat on his forehead and ran back and forth in the large conference room with his arms akimbo and furious. Sverdlov and Trotsky looked at each other and smiled bitterly.  Before evening, the battlefield situation was still calm. Who would have expected that after nightfall, we would suffer such a big loss!

    Trotsky here is obviously a master of memorizing knowledge. The battle report in the telegram just now is as vivid as if it had been scanned. He directed several staff officers to mark the most significant battles and losses on both sides on the map.  After changing the position of the defense line, he picked up the baton and continued to explain why the current situation was serious.

    "Comrades, Kolchak is very cunning. He is the most terrifying enemy to the Soviets. Since the Allied Powers and the Volga Federation have designated fifty kilometers on the left bank of the Volga River as a demilitarized buffer zone, the main position of our southern defense line is in Sin.  Located 50 kilometers west of Bilsk, the defense line organized by Jidis is roughly in the shape of an irregular trapezoid. The width of the frontal defense line on the northern line is fifteen kilometers, and then extends to the northwest defense line for fifteen kilometers. This thirty-kilometer defense line is formed by Jiji.  The three infantry divisions of Sri Lanka's 10th Group are responsible for the defense."

    The defense line fifteen kilometers down from the northwest defense line is defended by two divisions of Lasevich's 8th Army. In addition, the 16th Infantry Division of the 8th Group is responsible for protecting the rear of the southern line, and the 12th Infantry Division serves as a reserve for the group army.  The team is on the second-line position six kilometers east of the western defense line. This is also the location of the group army headquarters!  "

    When Trotsky said this, several members of the central committee could not sit still. Zinoviev raised a pipe and asked puzzledly, "Since the 12th Infantry Division and the Army Headquarters are located on the first line of defense,  Ten kilometers behind, "Beiyang 1917 Chapter 740 (There are night attacks everywhere") How can Kolchak be asked to take over the army headquarters and defeat the 12th Infantry Division?! Could it be that 2 Cossack Cavalry Divisions  Flying over the defense line with wings?"

    "Of course they didn't fly there. Kolchak's attack during the day focused on the northern and southwest directions. The 10th Group Army repelled three enemy attacks due to its superior artillery and terrain. The enemy's casualties exceeded one division.  We roughly lost one brigade, but because the enemy focused on attacking the northern and southwest fronts, the lowest western front, that is, the positions and defense lines of Lashevich's 8th Army, did not stand the test. Therefore, here at night  Later, it became the breakthrough point for Kolchak¡¯s cavalry division¡¯s night attack!¡±

    As Trotsky said, he drew two big arrows from the northwest and southwest, pointing to the Army Headquarters behind the front line of the 8th Army and the location of the 12th Infantry Division. He drew big crosses.

    "Rashevich and the 12th Infantry Division obviously did not expect that the enemy would attack at night and quickly break through the first-line positions. Did you see that the enemy's breakthrough point was at the junction of the positions of the 10th Army and the 8th Army, and on the southern front?  At the junction of the 13th Division and the 16th Division!

    The most abominable thing about "Beiyang 1917" is that Kolchak's cavalry troops took advantage of the night to impersonate our Budyonny cavalry troops, deceived the forward sentries and security forces, and broke through the front-line positions and went straight to the rear, targeting the enemy.  It's a battle where a black tiger takes out your heart?, if the two division commanders of the 13th and 15th Infantry Divisions had not commanded the troops to strictly defend the main position and fight to the death, the entire southwest defense line would have collapsed, and the 8th Group Army would have been completely wiped out.  "

    "Who is the commander of the 12th Infantry Division? He should be shot! Isn't the 2nd Infantry Division the main division? Why can't it withstand the impact of the enemy's two cavalry divisions?" Ulyanovsky stopped and stared at Toto with a livid face.  Lotsky shouted.

    "The commander of the 12th Infantry Division was concurrently appointed by the Group Army Chief of Staff Latyski. The entire division was sleeping in camp when it was suddenly attacked by Cossack cavalry and suffered heavy casualties. Latyski was also killed on the spot. The 12th Infantry Division was almost completely destroyed.  They were defeated, and the artillery of the six artillery companies on the artillery position were also captured by the enemy. The enemy's casualties in this battle were at most 2,000 people! And we lost at least 9,000 people!" Trotsky's tone was quite low and disappointed.  .

    Can the enemy behind us capture the cannon and take it away? Didn't Giddis's main force of the 10th Army counterattack? Even if the other three infantry divisions of the 8th Army gathered together, they could stop the two cavalrymen of the opponent.  Master?" Bukharin asked self-righteously.

    "But they captured the cannon and dragged it away with three sets of carriages. Gidis's 10th Army sent two divisions south to block the breach for emergency reinforcements. However, the enemy's two Cossack cavalry divisions were very cunning. They did not attack  Instead of retreating to the west to attack the ground, he retreated directly to the east" Trotsky's answer was quite nagging?

    "What? Bendong retreated? Could it be thatdid they run into the demilitarized buffer zone designated by the Allied Forces?" Several Soviet Russian central committee members shouted almost in unison, and Bukharin's voice was the shrillest.  .
