Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Alexandru Alexanderevich, just call me back as I said. Our artillery did a good job just now, and Boshlyakov's vanguard battalion also did a good job. The opponent's troops exceed ours. This is an objective fact. The opponent  We beat him to the point of disappearing. This is also an objective fact. Gasken, it is useless to fight with a head covering. You also need to assess the situation and draw up a battle report. Do you understand? "

    "As you wish" Gasken, the commander of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, saluted helplessly, and sadly ordered the confidential staff of the brigade headquarters to answer the call as Krashilnikov said, sighing secretly in his heart.  He looked at the great achievement of capturing Budyonny alive, but just passed by and wasted Now, we can only hope that the Eastern Front, under the personal command of His Excellency Kolchak, can successfully annihilate the surrounded Budyonny Cavalry Army.  The main force and the invincible Kameshin 1st Infantry Division!  "", all text typed by hand

    July 31, 1918 9:30 Kolchak Provisional Headquarters on the Eastern Front Battlefield in Simbirsk

    "How is it possible that all the shells have been fired?! How is it possible?!" Kolchak shouted angrily. A group of generals from the 7th Kazan Infantry Division lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. In the end, it was the 7th Kazan Infantry Division that  The division commander Piotr Pitjevichdeslov stood up and explained in a cryptic voice,

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you know Logistics transportation from Kazan to here relies on horse-drawn carriages. We consumed a huge amount of ammunition during the Battle of Cheboksary. The artillery batteries of each division basically only carried a base of 60 rounds.  The artillery shells went south. After the battle yesterday, it was better to use them leisurely, and only half of the base was left. So far this morning, the fifteen artillery companies have smashed almost all the remaining artillery shells into the encirclement. Now  There is really no artillery! The logistics troops in the north will not be able to arrive until the afternoon or even evening at the earliest. Not to mention the artillery, several infantry divisions only have enough food for two days!

    Kolchak obviously did not expect that the artillery unit's ammunition shortage crisis would be so serious. In fact, in the previous battle of the Cheboksary Iron Triangle on the northern front, Kolchak's White Guards' logistics transportation mainly passed through the restored left bank of the Volga River.  The railway line was carried out, so the artillery shells on the front line were consumed quickly, and the Kazan White Guards' logistics was replenished with military trains through the railway lines quickly. However, after the main force of the White Guards moved south, the White Guards, who had lost the support of the railway line, could only use the highway.  The most primitive three sets of horse-drawn carriages transport logistics supplies along the road. The Kazan 10th Infantry Division was the unit that escorted the latest ammunition and food heading south yesterday!

    At this moment, the baggage troops who have unloaded grain and ammunition are afraid that they have not yet come out of Kazan after turning back, and the second wave of logistics troops transporting grain and ammunition will not arrive until evening at the earliest. Who would have thought of the battlefield?  They had moved so much south at once, and the resistance of the Soviet Red Army infantry division in the encirclement was so tenacious. The fifteen artillery batteries gathered by the White Guards took turns to bombard them, but they could not completely annihilate the opponent's eight artillery batteries. They fought intermittently.  The artillery battle lasted most of the day.  §êw§ëFirst,

    The White Guards probably lost more than 30 cannons, while the Soviet Red Army in the encirclement only lost the same number. The most annoying thing is that the reconnaissance planes of the Volga Federation in the sky have dropped warning letters more than once, emphasizing that  Any act of shelling from outside the non-military buffer zone into the non-military buffer zone is considered to challenge the Volga Federation's bottom line and will result in merciless counterattacks and punishments from the coalition and the Volga Federation!

    The artillery positions of Pavlov, the supreme commander of the Soviet Red Army and chief of staff of the 10th Group Army in the encirclement, were actually located near the border of the demilitarized buffer zone, and they even quietly moved their positions in the demilitarized buffer zone in the middle of the night.  The white-painted boundary stakes erected by the National Guard made the coalition reconnaissance planes on air patrol believe that the Soviet Red Army's positions were just close to the border and did not cross the border. However, when Pavlov's eight artillery companies and the White Guards launched artillery  During the war, the artillery fire of the Soviet Red Army in the three directions of north, west and south would not fall into the demilitarized buffer zone in the east.

    As long as the artillery of the White Guards fires from west to east, it may accidentally fall into the demilitarized buffer zone. Fortunately, the coalition fighter and bomber squadrons have not yet appeared over the border of the demilitarized buffer zone, performing air patrols back and forth.  The mission was only a few dh4 reconnaissance bombers.

    "We have to destroy the enemy in the encirclement without artillery shells! Just kidding, the entire Kazan 2nd Army has invested 6 infantry divisions on the ground. Is it that difficult to besiege the opponent's 1 cavalry division and 1 infantry division?" Kolchak's expression  Ashen scolded a group of White Guard generals in the field shelter.

    Just 10 minutes ago, about one division of the Budyonni Cavalry Corps, which was moving south along the border of the demilitarized buffer zone, had broken through the defense line of the 9th Kazan Infantry Division in the north. However, the opponent's commander was obviously quite astute. Su  The cavalry unit of the Russian Red Army only opened a gap on the northern line of the White Guards and established contact with the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division in the encirclement. Timoshenko's main force of the 1st Cavalry Division did not enter the encirclement. This made the White Guards encirclement  UnprovokedThe rebellion doubled in size!

    The depth from east to west is still 5 kilometers, but the width from north to south has jumped from 5 kilometers to ten kilometers. At this moment, the casualties of the three Kazan Infantry Divisions, 7th, 8th and 9th that besieged the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division, have exceeded  1,000 people, while the casualties of the Soviet Red Army Infantry Division in the encirclement were almost 2,000. The artillery casualties of both sides were the heaviest

    "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that Pyatov's 4th Cavalry Division has arrived 7 kilometers away from the northern line, closing the gap for the Soviet Red Army to break out to the north. Kiriyev's 7th Cavalry Division is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes.  Arriving at the flanks of the 4th Cavalry Division, the vanguard troops of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Kazan Infantry Divisions are expected to arrive at the designated position in one hour, which is the flanks of the 7th Cavalry Division, so that the encirclement will be completely enclosed!  "A confidential staff officer from the headquarters reported with the telegram he had just received.

    "How long will it take for the Chief of Staff and the 10th Kazan Infantry Division of Anton Antonyevich Imelkov to arrive?" Kolchak asked with a frown.

    "It will take at least another hour, but the current position of the Kazan 10th Division and the 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions has blocked the Soviet Red Army's path to break out to the northwest. If they break out to the northwest, they can use  Our four infantry divisions have to travel a lot less distance!" Jeslov, commander of the 7th Kazan Infantry Division, said from the side.
