    Upon hearing this, Kolchak anxiously walked around in the shelter of the 7th Division with his hands behind his back, cursing in his mind, "What's the point of having Jeslov build the fortifications of his division so tightly? He should have had the time to do so"  Rush forward and capture the Soviet Red Army's position!

    The ratio of troops invested by both sides on the Eastern Front battlefield at this moment has reached 4:1 from the previous 3:1. With the arrival of the 7th Cavalry Division and four other infantry divisions on the battlefield, it will soon reach 8:1. This battle  Kolchak would never be able to forgive himself if he could not completely wipe out the 1st Budyonny Cavalry Division and the 1st Kamyshin Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army in the encirclement!  "", all text typed by hand

    "Where is the southern line? Why hasn't the town of Bazar Nesezgan been captured yet? What are Bageyev and Bayramov thinking?" Kolchak asked, raising his eyebrows.  .  .

    A group of White Guard division commanders and brigade commanders looked at each other in confusion. Finally, the commander of the 7th Division, Jeslov, muttered, "It is estimated that the three artillery batteries heading south have not yet reached their scheduled positions, and the general offensive has not yet been launched But the commander-in-chief can rest assured.  , the 6th Cavalry Division and the 5th Cavalry Division have surrounded the town, and the opponent's 41st Infantry Division can't fly even with its wings!"

    "Hmph It is said on every battlefield that a chicken is killed with a knife. If this battle is to be so difficult, I don't think that Gidis will have to run so far. If he gathers 10 divisions to fight with us, we will not be able to protect them all.  Do you have to withdraw?" The highest consul in Russia was obviously in a bad mood. He did not expect that the decisive battle on the southern front would become such a stalemate. Overnight, it seemed that the White Guards were exhausted and lacked the ambition and determination to win the decisive battle.  Courage, the troops are tired, but the Soviet Red Army in Gidis is not tired?  ""look

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the troops are too tired. If we rest for a day before launching a general offensive, we will definitely be better than we are now" Jeslov tried to explain.

    "One more day of rest, and one more day of rest, and the Soviet Red Army will not be able to catch a single Soviet Red Army. If we don't rest like this, the main force of the opponent has jumped south and cannot be caught!" Kolchak said angrily.

    July 31, 1918 10:00 Provisional headquarters of the 10th Army of the Soviet Red Army in the southwest of the Simbirsk battlefield

    "Reporting to the commander, Army Chief of Staff Pavlov received a call from the northern front. His 1st Kameshin Infantry Division has merged with the 1st Timoshenko Division of the Budyonny Cavalry Army that went south to relieve the siege. The 1st Infantry Division suffered casualties.  It was very large, and only 2 of the 8 artillery companies were left. Although the encirclement circle has expanded, the enemy's strength has also increased. There are at least 3 White Guard infantry brigades surrounding them on the southern front. The same strength is on the western front, and the northwest  Three enemy divisions surged up from the direction, and on the northern front were the 7th and 4th Don Cavalry Divisions"

    A confidential staff officer from the headquarters sent a telegram that had just been received. The temporary headquarters of the 10th Army of the Soviet Red Army was located in a small village. The stone house of the fleeing landlord became Gidis' headquarters.  The former chief of staff of the Soviet Southern Front and the commander of the 10th Army, who is now responsible for commanding the 10th and 8th Army Groups on the Southern Front, has a stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes. He can be considered worried!

    Just now, he had a big quarrel in the telegram with his immediate superior in Nizhny Novgorod, deputy commander and second political commissar of the Soviet Volga Front, and former enemy commander-in-chief Voroshilov. The reason was very simple.  By then, Kolchak's troops were blunt. At least seven main divisions of the 10th and 8th Army had successfully withdrawn there. The White Guards had used all their main forces to surround only the 41st Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division of the 10th Army.  In the north, Pavlov commanded the 1st Kameshin Infantry Division that broke off the rear.

    Gidice used a temporary defense line organized by four infantry divisions to block the pursuit of the 1st and 2nd Don Cossack Cavalry Divisions, and forced the opponent to retreat at least five to seven kilometers. Gidice counted on his fingers and found that he was too big  You can stay on the southern line, rely on the strong terrain north of Kuznetsk and the transportation support of the railway line behind it, continue to deal with the main force of Kolchak's White Guards in the south, and be able to move the 41st Infantry Division and even Kamei  The 1st Infantry Division of Shen tried their best to rescue the encirclement.

    However, Voroshilov's reply was quite resolute. The 10th Army Political Commissar Klyuev led the troops and had already arrived in Kuznetsk. The remainder of the 12th Infantry Division, the 13th Division, the 15th Division and the 16th Division of the 8th Army had arrived at noon.  Board the train before 12 o'clock and head north along Kuznetsk, Penza and Saransk!  The 37th, 38th, 39th and 40th infantry divisions of the Soviet 10th Army led by Gidis must board the train and move north before 6 p.m.!  The determination of the Volga Front Army Headquarters to assemble the main force to launch operations on the northern front remains unchanged!

    As for the besieged 1st Kameshin Infantry Division and 1st Timoshenko Cavalry Division, if they can successfully break through, they can go north or south. If there is no hope of breaking out, they can retreat to the demilitarized buffer zone, temporarily lay down their weapons and accept the Volga Federation.  The supervision of the troops will be resolved through negotiations between Moscow and the Volga Federal Government.

    In fact, by 10 a.m., the remnants of the 42nd Soviet Infantry Division, which had escorted thousands of lightly and seriously wounded Soviet Red Army soldiers into the demilitarized buffer zone in advance, had laid down their weapons and became the first batch of Soviet soldiers under the supervision of the Volga Federation¡¯s vanguard forces.Russian "civilians"!  There was only a cavalry battalion at the front station of the Volga Federation, and it was a matter of fact that these civilian camps, field hospitals, and canteens were stationed by the Soviet Red Army who laid down their weapons in the demilitarized buffer zone near the Simbirsk Syzlan railway line.  , temporary tents are all available. Of course, everything from nurses to doctors to cooks are all prepared by the 10th Army Field Hospital and the 42nd Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army

    What was laid down was weapons, what was lost was freedom, what was saved was life and hope. This is a true portrayal of the Soviet Red Army who used the demilitarized buffer zone to escape the iron hoofs of the White Guards¡¯ Don Cossack Cavalry Division. Of course, the Volga Federation¡¯s Ministry of Foreign Affairs  The tone is very tough. Although personnel who put down their weapons after entering the demilitarized buffer zone are treated as civilians, they can only stay in the area designated by the Volga Federation until the Volga Federation completes the screening of these personnel.

    As a general from the Southern Front, Gidis has a very clear grasp of the ideological dynamics of the army cadres and soldiers. These soldiers left their hometowns near Tsaritsyn and came north to the 10th and 10th Army units along the Volga River in Kuznetsk, Sezlansinbiersk, and the Volga River.  The troops of the 8th Group Army and the family members who brought them here have all settled down here. In other words, this place has become the new home of the soldiers of the 10th and 8th Group Armies from the south
