Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The latest enemy situation suddenly came from outside the tent. The Budyonny Cavalry Army of the Soviet Red Army, which had been dormant and had not shown a trace, had cut off the retreat of Kolchak's White Guards on the northern front. It was stunned that it used three cavalry brigades to attack in a roundabout way.  Hastings' three reserve camps of the 4th, 5th and 6th Kazan Infantry Divisions were turned into a pot of gruel.  §êw§ë

    The northern front camps of these three divisions were about 1,215 kilometers away from the front line. Although no gunshots could be heard at this moment, the rumble of artillery on the northern front could be faintly discerned. Kolchak's face suddenly turned livid.  Biankrashilnikov and Dimilev also looked at each other and couldn't believe their ears. Chief of Staff Hastings pushed away the communications staff officer who came to report the news, and took a few steps directly out the door to the door next to the headquarters tent.  The temporary confidential center grabbed the phone and quickly asked about the situation on the northern line.

    "You guys, stay calm! Hold the position for me. The enemy only has 2 cavalry divisions at most. How can it be possible to defeat your three infantry divisions? Don't panic. Use machine guns to hold the current position. No pursuit is allowed. Reinforcements will be here soon!"

    When Guillaume Nikolayevich "" Hastings dropped the phone in his hand, Kolchak, Krashilnikov and Dimilev had also appeared behind him, surrounded by a group of  The staff of the headquarters hurriedly stood at attention and saluted. Seeing that people were talking too much, Hastings told the staff of the headquarters to keep their mouths shut and not to spread nonsense. At the same time, he pulled Kolchak and others back to the headquarters.  In the big tent of the Ministry of Defense, after the screen retreated, the de facto think tank of the White Guards sighed and said,

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I have a headache now the situation is a bit complicated" Hastings seemed hesitant to speak.

    Here Krashilnikov was impatient and couldn¡¯t help shouting,

    "Guillaume Nikolayevich, what's so complicated about this? Budyonny's cavalry army is either in the south or in the north. He has been hiding with us for a long time, and now he has come to our door At this moment  The two armies of Gidis and Rashevich were in trouble and fled south, so we turned around and ate up Budyonni's cavalry. I think the result was greater than the victory over Gidis' 10th Army.  !¡±

    Kolchak looked at his deputy and chief of staff with a solemn expression, and said in deep thought, "Hastings, don't hesitate when speaking. Even if your three infantry divisions cannot defeat Budyonny's cavalry army,  There should be no problem in holding them back. The opponent is a cavalry army with limited artillery. Let¡¯s send the 7th Don River Cavalry Division to the north to outflank Budyonni¡¯s retreat. ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Before Hastings could answer, Dimilev, the chief of staff of the Kazan 2nd Army, already said, "It is estimated that only one Andrei Andreevich Kiriyev's 7th Cavalry Division will be sent."  It was not enough. The 4th, 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions had not yet recovered their strength after the Battle of Buyinsk. They did not have time to replenish their personnel, ammunition and supplies, and their combat effectiveness was also much weaker. I would say, Pyatov  The 4th Cavalry Division will also be mobilized. Two cavalry divisions plus three infantry divisions should be able to defeat Budyonny¡¯s cavalry army!¡±

    "But what about the south? Don't forget that our primary goal in today's decisive battle is to eliminate the main southern force of the Soviet Red Army's Volga Front, that is, Gidis's 10th Army and Rashevich's 8th Army. If these two  If the main army group escapes, what's the use of just eating a Budyonian cavalry army?" Hastings said with air-conditioning between his teeth. Chapter 752 (3) of Beiyang 1917 (3) Move the cavalry division up."

    "I said, Chief of Staff, this is not a contradiction. The 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 6th Cavalry Divisions of the Kazan 1st Army went south to pursue the retreating Soviet 10th Army and 8th Army. The cavalry  The 7th and 4th Divisions cooperated with the 4th, 5th, and 6th Infantry Divisions of the Kazan 2nd Army to encircle and destroy Budyonni's cavalry corps, while the 7th, 8th, and 9th Kazan Infantry Divisions  "The 1st Kameshin Infantry Division was surrounded and destroyed." Krashilnikov was obviously not a fool. The Cossack leader was also the leader of the Tsarist Russian army who worked hard.

    "I agree with Roman Mikhainovich. Eat Budyonny's cavalry army, and then capture alive Pavlov, the new chief of staff of the Soviet 10th Army of the Kameshin Infantry Division, and finally  The 41st Russian Infantry Division in the south, which was surrounded in the town of Nesezgan in Bazar, was also wiped out. Then the main force of the Soviet Red Army on the southern front was cut off. When the time comes, we press forward to the south with all our strength, and the opponent will definitely be unable to resist.  !" Dimilev, who had always been steady, also anxiously stood up to support Krashilnikov.

    "Guillaume Nikolayevich, what do you think of the two chiefs of staff's style of play in "Beiyang 1917"? Now our troops and firepower are superior, and the Soviet Red Army is divided into 4 pieces, except for the south  In addition to the possibility that the enemy has at least 7 divisions and are still bunched together, the others are either the Budyonni Cavalry Corps or the Kameshin Infantry Division, including the 41st Russian Infantry Division in the town of Neserzgan in Bazar.  , have been divided and surrounded, and are alone, we can never give up.Regardless of the fat, we must concentrate all the main forces and continue chasing south, right?  "

    Kolchak's words showed that the supreme governor of Russia obviously agreed with the views of the new chiefs of staff of the two armies. However, he could also understand Hastings's concern that with this style of play, he might let him go.  Even if the main forces of the Soviet 10th and 8th armies retreating south, even if they eat up the Budyonny Cavalry Army, the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division, and the 41st Infantry Division, the main forces of the other two armies will not.  You still retain your strength, right?

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you two, I have been thinking just now about the connection between the main force of the Soviet Red Army retreating south overnight and Budyonny's cavalry army suddenly appearing to attack on our northern front. Of course, the Kazan Infantry Division  4. The troops of the 5th and 6th Divisions were exhausted during the battle and marched on the second line. As a reserve team, they were careless on the second line and were laid off. "" Jonny had a piece of meat in his mouth, so it was inevitable that he screamed and asked for reinforcements because he was afraid of the pain!

    But Budyonny came sooner or later. After Gidis and Rashevich's main force retreated south, he happened to appear So I analyzed that Budyonny's attack was probably to delay our main force.  At the same pace, cover the southward retreat of the two armies of Giddis and Rashevich" Hastings murmured while staring at the combat map.

    "So what? Even if Budyonny and his cavalry army are here to hold us back, can we ignore this piece of fat meat? Only rely on the 4th and 4th Kazan Infantry  It is obviously unrealistic for the 5th and 6th Divisions to eat up the opponent's 1st Cavalry Corps composed of 2 cavalry divisions, so the cavalry divisions must be mobilized!
