Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If the Soviet Red Army cavalry that appears frontally is led by Budyonny himself, then Gasken, the commander of the 6th White Guard Cavalry Brigade, is very likely to risk a counterattack and charge forward, fighting for one life for two.  We must also try to defeat Budyonny. The problem is that according to the results of the prisoner interrogation, it is not known where Budyonny and his cavalry regiment are. The enemy in front of them is the 2nd Budyonny Cavalry Corps commanded by Gorodovich.  A whole brigade of cavalry from the 3rd Brigade of the Division

    Gasken finally reluctantly accepted Krashilnikov's order and ordered the entire brigade to retreat under the cover of artillery fire instead of attacking Of course, the Soviet Red Army cavalry took advantage of the opportunity and blew the charge horn and launched a charge. This was also  As a result, the pace of the retreat of the 6th White Guard Cavalry Brigade involuntarily accelerated. It was actually quite difficult to catch up at a distance of 1,500 meters",

    First of all, the men and horses of the 6th White Guard Cavalry Brigade had only traveled about 10 kilometers this morning, and the entire unit was still a fresh force. Secondly, the Cossacks of the 3rd Don Cavalry Division were mostly veterans, which is really not the case.  The commander, whose legs became weak as soon as he heard the other party blowing the trumpet, still turned his horses in an orderly manner and retreated southwestward along the roads, trails, fields and ridges like a tide.  .  First,

    Gorodovikov's 3rd Cavalry Division ran 30 kilometers from the north to the south in the early morning, attacked the positions of three Kazan White Guard infantry divisions at around 7 a.m., and then retreated to the west to prepare to harass Kolchak.  In front of the enemy headquarters, the cavalry galloped back and forth for no less than 50 kilometers. At this time, both men and horses were exhausted, so the charge with the trumpets was nothing more than taking advantage of the chaos to frighten the White Guard cavalry on the opposite side. If we really wanted to pursue them, we would rely on the 3rd Cavalry Brigade.  The remaining horsepower of the mount really can't catch up with ""

    Gorodovikov did not intend to pursue it all at once. His mission was to lead the 3rd Cavalry Division to harass the enemy headquarters in front of Kolchak. Since Kolchak's last 6th Cavalry Brigade had already dispersed.  came out, it means that Kolchak has noticed the movements of the Soviet Red Army cavalry in the northwest. The exhausted 3rd Cavalry Brigade of more than 5,000 people has achieved its goal of attracting the opponent's attention. Gorodovikov quickly closed in  The troops hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield and disappeared to the northwest

    The 8th Regiment of the 4th Cavalry Brigade led by Army Commander Budyonny will join Gorodovikov's 3rd Brigade there, and then the troops on the western front of the Cavalry Corps will move into hiding, rest and standby, although it will only last for four or five hours.  Fighting, but for the newly expanded Budyonni cavalry, the fatigue of the troops is quite high, and the next direction of action will depend on the changes in the battlefield situation.

    "Chief of Staff! Chief of Staff! The Soviet Red Army cavalry has withdrawn Stop! Stop!" Gasken rode his horse to catch up with Krashilnikov and his party who were still running all the way. The Cossacks and White Guard cavalry were running away.  Judu was panting and sweating profusely. The sun had already risen high above the treetops. In this retreat, Sa Yazi ran for more than five kilometers. When he looked back, he saw that the Soviet cavalry brigade that had been chasing him for about a kilometer had already  Disappeared Gasken finally caught up with the Army Chief of Staff and grabbed his horse's bridle.

    "Really withdrawnHeyI'm so exhaustedGive me my order, pay attention to the alert, everyone dismounts and rests, give the horses some water, Pishka, get me some water quicklyI feel so bad in my throat  The cigarette is gonego, take the horse for a walkcollect the sweat" Krashilnikov, the chief of staff of the 1st Kazan Army, was obviously a little shaken. Although he was calm and composed when he ordered the withdrawal, this man was on the battlefield.  After turning around and exposing his back to his opponent, he started to run with the more panic he felt, not to mention the continuous sound of gunfire, and the beep-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-dep., attack bugle of the Soviet Red Army's assault horn that kept chasing him behind his butt

    "Report! I received a telegram from the former enemy headquarters. Lord Kolchak has led the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 12th Cavalry Regiment to join the battlefield on the eastern front to encircle and suppress the 1st Infantry Division of Pavlov Kamishin. Chief of Staff Hei  Stings led the former enemy headquarters and the 10th Kazan Infantry Division to leave their original positions and rush east for reinforcements The former enemy headquarters asked us not to underestimate the enemy. It was a great achievement to cruise to protect the flank of the entire army in the northwest!  Don¡¯t chase!¡±

    Not long after the radio station of the 6th Don Cavalry Brigade was turned on, it contacted the former enemy headquarters. The tone of the call back was obviously from the Chief of Staff of the White Guards, Hastings. Apparently, Hastings did not even ask Krashilnikov  Whether he led the 6th Cavalry Brigade to capture Budyonny, it shows that this guy is not optimistic that Krashilnikov can accomplish such a great feat!

    "Your Excellency, General, how do we reply to the former enemy headquarters? The end of the telegram requires us to report the enemy situation in the northwest at any time. We are specifically warned that we are now covering the back of the entire army. We do not seek merit but no fault. We only need to block the enemy's cavalry.  After the main force has eliminated the main force of the Budyonni Cavalry Army and the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division in the southeast, we will still be the heroes!"

    The voice of Gasken, the commander of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, was a bit muffled. In the encounter with the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the Soviet Red Army just now, although the losses on both sides were about the same, the one who evacuated the battlefield first was himself.His own 6th Cavalry Brigade, which made the Cossack soldiers of the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Cavalry Division, which boasted itself as the main force, a little depressed, especially after the pursuers suddenly stopped pursuing and disappeared

    "How to call back? Fortunately, the former enemy headquarters has moved south, otherwise we would be embarrassed by the Don Cossacks" Krashilnikov took a few sips of the water brought by the orderly,  Then he wiped his mouth and said mockingly,

    "Send my order to Kolchak and His Excellency Hastings, saying that the 6th Cavalry Brigade defeated a cavalry regiment of the Soviet Red Army in the northwest of Simbirsk, annihilating nearly a thousand enemies, and our army suffered casualties in  After a battalion operation, no trace of Budyonny was found. The ones fighting us were Gorodovikov's troops of the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Budyonny Cavalry Army who were trying to harass the former enemy headquarters. They had the strength of a cavalry brigade.  , after our troops defeated the vanguard regiment, the opponent has already fled to the northwest We will send small groups of troops to follow and pursue. The main force of the 6th Cavalry Brigade will execute the latest order from the former enemy headquarters and be responsible for cruising to protect the back of the entire army.  !¡±

    Krashilnikov did not serve as the chief of staff of the 1st Kazan Army for two days, but his ability to draft telegrams with fancy articles has improved. What he said is reasonable and well-founded, and Gasken, commander of the 6th Cavalry Brigade,  Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something. The Cossack leader waved his hand and said,
