    The biggest characteristic of Budyonny's command of the troops is that he is not only superior but not afraid of superiors, he dares to make battlefield judgments and arrangements independently, and adopts tactics that are unexpected by the enemy and himself. Of course, he was only a small cavalry division at the time.  The division commander commanded only nearly 10,000 red Cossack cavalry. However, during the combat operations on the right bank of the Volga River, his cavalry division had already shown its superiority in being armored and strong-willed.

    Of course, in the late stage of the big breakout in the Battle of Ufa, the Battle of Buzuluk, from Budyonny¡¯s own point of view, was the first major setback in his military career. When he broke through to the Buzuluk Triangle, Budyonny  The nearly 9,000 red Cossack cavalry of Nigeria's Special Cavalry Division were still intact. However, after the troops were divided into two groups to cross the river and break through, the entire division had less than 4,000 troops left. Among them, Timoshenko, commanded by Budyonny himself,  The 1st Cavalry Brigade retained nearly 3,000 cavalry.  ",

    Gorodovikov¡¯s 2nd Cavalry Brigade, commanded by political commissar Shatenko, suffered heavy losses. When it finally broke out and joined Budyonny¡¯s main force, only more than 1,200 cavalry were left.  In this battle, the Special Cavalry Division was seriously injured and lost more than half of its troops. However, compared to the nearly 300,000 main forces of the Soviet Red Army's Eastern and Southern Fronts that were completely wiped out in the Battle of Ufa, the Budyonni Special Cavalry  The division's successful breakout can be regarded as a miracle. What is rare is that although almost everyone was injured, all the brigade commanders and regimental commanders followed Budyonny and Shatenko out of the encirclement.  "" look

    Even for the sake of propaganda, Budyonny was established by Moscow as a role model and heroic model for the Soviet Red Army. Vice Chairman of the Soviet Supreme Military Council Sverdlov issued a message to the entire Volga Front: "Learn from Comrade Budyonny!  "", Budyonny also became a member of the Bolshevik Party while being promoted to the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps of the Soviet Red Army. This outstanding cavalry general from the Tsarist Russian Dragoon Regiment has become  A trustworthy and outstanding Soviet Red Army general.

    Before the Battle of Ufa, Budyonny's special cavalry division was an ace mobile force that had grown rapidly from the three battles to defend Tsaritsyn. In the first battle to defend Tsaritsyn, Budyonny's troops were only a cavalry regiment.  During the Second Battle of Tsaritsyn, it was expanded into a cavalry brigade. During the third Battle of Tsaritsyn, it was quickly expanded into a cavalry division.

    In the Battle of Ufa, Budyonny's cavalry division has been the vanguard of Yegorov's 9th Army of the Southern Front. In the special cavalry division, the young and energetic Timoshenko's 1st Cavalry Brigade has been doing its part.  became the vanguard of the cavalry division. In the first brigade, the first regiment led by Ivan Vladimirovich Tyulenev was responsible for opening the way, while Pavel Semyonovich was often at the rear.  Rybalko's 2nd Regiment.

    In Wang Geng's previous life, Tyulenev was one of the only five generals in the Soviet Red Army before 1940, and Rybalko was the marshal of the armored forces, but now Ivan Vladimirovich.  Tyulenev was only 26 years old, and Pavel Semyonovich Rybalko was only 24 years old. Of course, their brigade commander Timoshenko was younger than these two guys, only 23 years old.

    In fact, before the Battle of Ufa, Rybalko had been serving as the political commissar of the Second Regiment. It was not until the previous commander died in the third battle to defend Tsaritsyn that Rybalko moved from political commissar to military commander.  It can be said that Budyonny prefers the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which has a lot to do with the fact that the two regiment commanders of this brigade are both very young and only 2326 years old. Both Timoshenko and Tyulenev are both.  A brave general.

    The 24-year-old Rybalko was a political commissar and was particularly good at uniting his comrades and comrades around him. This made him more tolerant and restrained towards his comrades and subordinates than Timoshenko and Tyulenev.  , and at the same time, it gave people an impression of calmness, so Rybalko's Second Cavalry Regiment was often placed behind the First Brigade by Timoshenko.

    Don¡¯t forget that Rybalko was already the commander of the cavalry division at the time, he and Malikov, the commander of the heavy machine gun battalion of the cavalry division, were fellow villagers and close buddies, and they had a very good relationship.

    In Wang Geng¡¯s previous life, both Malikov and Rybalko had connections with China. In May 1934, the Soviet Union sent Colonel Malikov, assistant to the director of the 2nd Division of the Reconnaissance Bureau of the General Staff of the Workers¡¯ and Peasants¡¯ Red Army, as  Among the members of the General Counsel's military advisory group was Rybalko, a former political commissar of the cavalry brigade who had just graduated from the Frunze Military Academy and whose pseudonym was Fu Jihui.

    After the Battle of Ufa, after the new Volga Front was formed, Budyonny's Special Cavalry Division was expanded into the 1st Cavalry Corps of the Soviet Red Army, the 1st Brigade was upgraded to the 1st Cavalry Division, and the 2nd Brigade was upgraded to the 2nd Cavalry Division.  , and the former commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, Semyon Konstantinovich Timoshenko, was promoted to the chief of staff of the newly formed Cavalry Corps, and concurrently served as the commander of the 1st Division, which was expanded from the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

    So now 23-year-old Timoshenko is the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, while Tyulenev has been promoted to the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, and Rybalko is the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade.

    Because the former political commissar and staff officer of the Special Cavalry Division??Shatenko was promoted to political commissar of the 3rd Army of the Soviet Union, serving as deputy to Karl Ivanovich Berzin. Comrade Voroshilov, deputy commander of the front army and 2nd political commissar, also served concurrently in person.  The political commissar of the 1st Cavalry Corps, so at this moment Budyonny is both the commander of the cavalry corps and the political commissar of the cavalry corps.

    The commander of the 2nd Division of the Budyonny Cavalry Corps was Oka Ivanovich Gorodovikov, the former commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Budyonny Cavalry Division. He was born in Rostov-on-Don on September 19, 1879.  Kraya Yelimuta Village, joined the Imperial Russian Army in 1903, served in Poland after a short training, and joined the 43rd Don Cossack Regiment after returning to China.

    Gorodovikov participated in all the Russian battles on the Eastern Front of the European War. In 1916, when he was seriously injured and discharged, his previous military rank was a lieutenant of the Russian cavalry. Gorodovikov was born in Rostov on the lower reaches of the Don River, just like the division commander Budyonny.  , was born as a serious Don Cossack, but Budyonni joined the 46th Don Cossack Regiment after joining the army, and was later transferred to the Coastal Dragoon Regiment.

    Although Gorodovikov was a Cossack general, the team he raised after the October Revolution was mainly Mongolian cavalry. Speaking of this Mongolian cavalry, we have to mention a special word in Russian history "Tatar yoke"  ¡± refers specifically to the rule of Russia by the Mongolian military aristocrats from the 13th to the 16th century. The history of Europeans being ruled by Asians seems to make the old Maozi a little bit worried.

    During this unforgettable period, Russia broke free from the "Tatar yoke" and turned to control a large number of Mongolian tribes, and then used stronger methods to deal with its former conquerors.
