    "On their way south to pursue Gidis, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions were intercepted and blocked by the opponent's 4 main infantry divisions. The opponent's artillery fire was fierce and they were waiting for work. The 1st and 2nd Divisions each suffered nearly 2 losses.  The troops of the battalion have now retreated five kilometers from the organizational position, and are currently in a stalemate with the enemy, about 20 kilometers northwest of Kuznetsov! "

    "The 6th and 5th Cavalry Divisions have surrounded the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, which is defending the town of Nesezgan in Bazar. However, the opponent is still fighting desperately and refuses to surrender due to the steep terrain of river defense and has not broken through.  The 6th Division and the 5th Division hope to receive artillery support from the Army Artillery Battery. Otherwise, unless the opponent runs out of machine gun bullets, it will be even more difficult to rush into the town! """ Fastest update, all text typed by hand!

    The two telegrams in Hastings's hand were full of bad news, which made Kolchak and Dimilev feel a little bit in their hearts. Dimilev couldn't help but said doubtfully, "We will give  Each cavalry division is equipped with at least two artillery batteries. Why can't Bageev's and Bayramov's two cavalry divisions find a cannon? "

    "Wellin order to speed up the cavalry division's pursuit of the enemies fleeing south, the artillery batteries of Bazhayev and Bayramov stayed in Vishkema. At this time, the four artillery batteries are still moving northeast, preparing  Join the battle to encircle and eliminate the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division On the southern front, even Andrei's 1st Cavalry Division and Djorkashev's 2nd Cavalry Division did not bring artillery companies These two divisions  The roundabout distance is the longest, the artillery remains on the northern front, and is still engaged in battle outside the Kamishen encirclement! "Search on Baidu" to see the latest chapter!

    Hastings's words answered the reason why Dimilev's four Don River cavalry divisions lacked artillery support. Since the plains were crisscrossed by river networks, in order to increase the speed of pursuit, the artillery companies of the cavalry divisions almost did not follow the large troops.  , otherwise crossing the river all day would be a headache.

    "You can't fight a war without artillery?! That's unreasonable! Don't you still have horse-drawn heavy machine guns? What's going on with Bazhayev and Bayramov? Why don't you attack the opponent's 41st Infantry Division in one go?  Let¡¯s take down the town of Bazar Nesezgan and destroy the Soviet Red Army division. In that case, the four cavalry divisions can cut through the opponent¡¯s southern front positions and eat up the four Gidis divisions in one go!¡±

    Kolchak's face turned livid, and he felt as if a rope was binding his hands and feet, making the commander-in-chief of the White Guards tightly entangled in an invisible net and unable to move.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Soviet 10th Army in Gidis has at least 20 artillery batteries of artillery. Even if there are 8 artillery batteries of artillery left in Kamishen's encirclement, then the opponent's artillery still has to withdraw to the south.  12 artillery batteries, not counting the remaining artillery batteries of the 8th Group Army Moreoverif the enemy is prepared and the artillery fire is dominant, we cannot push back with two cavalry divisions no matter what.  To move the enemy's four infantry divisions' defenses!" Dimirev said cautiously from the side.

    "It's a pity The 4th and 5th Cavalry Divisions captured 10 artillery batteries of the other side last night, but they didn't have time to take them away during the retreat, and ended up destroying them Otherwise, this battle would have been easier to fight now!"  Hastings' tone was full of regret.

    "Order Bazhayev's 6th Division and Bayramov's 5th Division to give up encircling and annihilating the 41st Russian Red Army Infantry Division in the town of Neserzgan in Bazar, and the two divisions will outflank Gidis from the east and west flanks.  Go behind the defense line of those four divisions, and order Andrei's 1st Cavalry Division and Djorkashev's 2nd Cavalry Division to hold back the enemy in front of them. Five kilometers is too far, so contact must be maintained and the main force should be used on both wings.  Heavy machine gun battalions are not used as decorations, and cavalry that cannot fight without cannons are definitely not Cossacks!¡±

    Kolchak rarely consulted Hastings and made a new decision through gritted teeth. Dimilev and Hastings were stunned when they heard this. Dimilev couldn't help but said, "General  Your Excellency, Commander, this seems inappropriate. If we let go the remainder of the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army, wouldn¡¯t all our previous efforts be wasted?¡±

    Hastings remained silent for a while, weighing the situation on the entire battlefield in his mind. After the battle started, he discovered that the Soviet Red Army was very difficult to deal with. In terms of combat effectiveness, Gidis's troops were only more powerful than those in the Battle of Cheboksary.  Berzin's 3rd Army is not weak at all. The 1st Cavalry Division had the upper hand in the encounter between Teqiushi and the opponent's 37th Infantry Division. It seems that it was mainly because it caught the opponent by surprise, and the young Pavlo  My husband has used his weak troops to fight beautiful blocking battles twice in a row

    Now, the 41st Soviet Infantry Division actually stood still under the impact of three Don Cossack Cavalry Divisions in front and behind?  What's going on?  Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the White Guard cavalry has dropped so drastically due to fatigue and morale?  Or is it that with superior strength, the commanders of several cavalry divisions are unwilling to pay more to attack?  Just thinking about consuming the enemy to death or forcing him to???

    In fact, Hastings wronged the Cossack cavalry commanders of the 1st Kazan Army because the rainy season had just passed, the river had not yet receded after the surge, and the terrain of the town of Nesezgan in Bazar happened to be a bend in the Bazar River.  It is surrounded by water on three sides, and the only two bridges were blasted by the Soviet Red Army. The water is deep and fast, and the river banks are high. This makes it very difficult for the White Guard's Cossack cavalry troops to cross the river and attack from the north, east, and south.  The only west side that can be successfully attacked is blocked by fortifications repaired by the Soviet Red Army

    The town of Bazar Nesezgan is five kilometers wide from north to south and 4 kilometers deep from east to west. Since the two tributaries of the Bazar River in the west almost exactly block the north and south, this makes the town an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack cliff.  It is a good defensive position. Of course, it is also very difficult for the 41st Infantry Division of the Soviet 10th Army, which is blocked in the town, to retreat

    The 41st Infantry Division of the 10th Army, led by the division commander Alexander Nikolayevich Tkachev, did not plan to continue to break out during the day. They left the town, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ran to the plains to join the 41st Infantry Division.  It couldn't even block the attack of a cavalry division from the other side, not to mention that there were already as many as three White Guard cavalry divisions that had appeared around the town

    The only consolation for Tkachev is that the radio station at the division headquarters is still working normally, and the 8th Army led by Political Commissar Klyuyev has successfully withdrawn to Kuznetsk, and Commander Gidis led 4 units of the 10th Army.  The main division is more than 30 kilometers away to the south
