Beiyang 1917

On the afternoon of July 1918, 7, the first tentative attack launched by the Southern Group of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front to Ufa ended in a disastrous failure. On the northwest and southeast fronts, each about 8 kilometers wide, the main attack was on the Northwest Defense Line of the White Guards. One group army suffered heavy casualties, and the 10th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army, the main division of the group army, was completely disabled

More than 3000 people were killed in battle, nearly 4000 were injured, and less than 3000 people were completely withdrawn. The corpses of the Soviet Red Army were scattered all over the 800 meters in front of the White Guards position.

Fortunately, under the strict order of the general headquarters, the White Guards on the defensive side did not continue to shoot at the medical soldiers and stretcher teams of the First Army who rushed into the battlefield to rescue the wounded at risk. This order puzzled both the Red Army and the White Guards , but the white guards on the defensive side stopped

After a deathly silence, the tweeters on the White Guard line sounded:

"Listen to the Red Army on the opposite side, according to the order of our Ufa High Command, in the spirit of humanitarianism, I now officially inform you that you can send medical soldiers and stretcher teams to the battlefield to drag your wounded and dead soldiers back. You are not allowed to enter the battlefield with weapons and wear eye-catching signs of medical soldiers. Please remember, let you come here to rescue the wounded, not to let you retrieve weapons and ammunition. All weapons must stay where they are. If someone violates this agreement, we will still will shoot"

The Russian language in the tweeter is constantly repeating, the voice is cold and expressionless. This voice floats back and forth on the ten-kilometer defense line of the Ufa White Guards Northwest Group. What to do, the red and white parties have been fighting to the death for the past six months, why did they encounter such a rare thing in Ufa?Who was the commander of the Ufa garrison?Could it be that our Bolshevik underground workers who broke into the White Guards failed?

For rescuing the wounded, time is life. After a short period of silence, the Red Army finally sent dozens of medical carriages with eye-catching signs into the battlefield to rescue the wounded. After a simple bandage, he dropped the weapon in his hand, and walked towards his position with mutual support

Tukhachevsky's First Army's first offensive to the northwest of Ufa was dismal. It took a long time to clear the battlefield and recover the wounded until the sun went down. In the case of human feelings, it is obvious that a second offensive cannot be launched that day

Although the subsequent offensive launched by the Fourth Army Rzhevsky in the southeast was also frustrated, the casualties were much smaller. A total of 30 Malamax machine guns were lost, and the total casualties were less than 200. In contrast, the First Army of Tukhachev's direct line is obviously quite disgraced

The emergency combat meeting of the Southern Group Headquarters of the Soviet Eastern Front Army was held again in Ma Cao Village, ten kilometers southwest of Ufa. The division commanders and political commissars of the Red Army were a little heavy when they passed the field hospital near the village. The First Army not only The 24th Division of the Iron Fist Simbirsk Iron Army was defeated, the division commander Kimirnov was seriously injured, the political commissar Posey was killed, and more than half of the brigade leaders below were killed

"Comrade Rzhevsky, why did your Fourth Army attack 20 minutes later than the scheduled time? Why did you say it was easy to use one division to attack, but you only sent five heavy machine gun battalions? You are defying the Southern Group Command You are dereliction of duty. You are fully responsible for the heavy casualties of the Red Army today. I will report to the Front Army and the Supreme Military Council."

Although Tukhachev is young, he has always looked down on others. He claims to be able to command a front army, and he has won the appreciation of Comrade Ulyanov by himself.

No, as soon as the commander of the Fourth Army Rzhevsky arrived at the group headquarters, he was scolded by him, and the roar resounded throughout the conference room

"Who said that each is responsible for the offensive on its own front? The 9 men of the First Army will attack the 4 White Guards on the Northwest Line of Defense, and the 5 men of our Fourth Army will also attack the 4 White Guards on the southeast line of defense in Ufa. Is the arrangement fair?

Well, since you are the commander of the group, the Fourth Army was raised by a stepmother. I, Rzhevsky, recognize it. How to organize an attack is my responsibility. The Fourth Army does not have a coward, but it is like the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army It would be dereliction of duty to launch crowd tactics like that without the cover of artillery fire and machine guns.”

The deputy commander of the group and the commander of the Fourth Army, Rzhevsky, slapped his military cap on the conference table, and his roar was louder than that of Tukhachevsky

The six division commanders and political commissars behind him also stiffened their necks. It was the 1st Army that lost the battle and suffered heavy losses. No matter how badly the [-]th Army fought, the charge of the five heavy machine gun battalions knocked the opponent's front line. This is an indisputable fact. Although a battalion of heavy machine guns was lost under the artillery fire of the opponent, the casualties were not considered a large number. After retreating, the opponent's reality was revealed.

Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Southern Group of the Soviet Russian Eastern Front, and Rzhevsky, the deputy commander, slapped the table and yelled at each other. The division commanders and division political commissars in the dark room all lowered their heads and did not dare to gasp. The commanders of the group army are all hot-tempered, but even the division commanders of the 1st group army felt that the attack in the afternoon was launched too hastily, and Tukhachevsky, the group commander, is actually quite responsible for this

As for Rzhevski, the battle has always been the master of the brain. In his hands, the Fourth Army can attack and defend well. In fact, in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not inferior to the First and Fifth Army, but the replenishment of personnel and equipment is always behind the first. And the Fifth Group Army, speaking of which there is still a shortage of people in Moscow, Comrade Trotsky's supreme military command has obviously been challenged by certain military commissars and central yang commissars

And Lezhevsky was born as a subordinate of Brusirov, the Tsarist Russian God of War. After Muravyov in the Soviet Red Army, he belonged to the Soviet military who could be appointed but could hardly be trusted. Experts, if not for Trotsky’s efforts in Moscow, generals like Lezhevsky would have been squeezed out and cleaned out of the ranks of the Soviet Red Army

"Comrades, commanders, this battle has only just begun. Occasional setbacks are nothing. The problem is that the Red Army itself is not united. Instead of arguing here, it is better to think about how to fight next. As the saying goes, where you stumble, you will Where to get up, the blood of the martyrs of the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army must not be shed in vain, our southern group must unite as one, resolutely take down Ufa, and report good news to Moscow and Zhongyang.”

It was Ma Xin, the chief of staff of the Southern Group and the commander of the Second Army who came out to be the peacemaker. With a smile, he pulled Tukhachev and Rzhevsky into the chairs and sat down. The commanders and the commanders filled their stomachs first, and hurried over along the way. Because of the shortage of food, the whole army didn't have a few full meals.

Soon, the steaming bread and cabbage and potato soup came up. The orderlies entered the room and diligently prepared the soup for their chief and brought the black bread to them. Sipping soup and chewing, the aroma of cabbage and potatoes fills the hot and humid air

Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Southern Group, gnawed on the black bread in his hand with a sullen head. He actually blamed himself in his heart and thought to himself, "Nima, although the number of defenders in Ufa is small, the machine gun firepower is not weak at all. The attack launched was really a bit reckless. In the absence of artillery support, it was a mistake to rely solely on crowd tactics to attack. Lezhevsky beat the monsters, and knew to send a small army to increase the firepower to test, this time on his side It’s really a big loss.”

"Commanders of the Red Army don't just eat with their heads bored, they all talk about how to fight next, so it can be used as a reference for the commanders. It is a fine tradition of our Red Army to mobilize the masses by mobilizing the masses." It was Yanke who had just entered the door. V. Gayi, Tukhachevsky's political commissar of the army group and the political commissar of the southern group, is not good at fighting. He is good at mass work and mobilization. Just now he went to see the wounded and sick again during dinner. It can be regarded as doing the work of the political commissar at home

"According to me, the front line of the White Guards has at most one division's strength, but the opponent has a lot of machine guns. I counted them in the binoculars in the afternoon, and there is a Maxim heavy machine gun firepower point at 80 to 100 meters away. Although he is The strength of a division can be equipped with at least 100 heavy machine guns. If you can't suppress the opponent in terms of firepower, you will definitely not be able to charge up based on the number of people alone. If you charge up, you will suffer heavy casualties."

The one who spoke was Temov, the division commander of the Volisk Infantry Division of the First Army. The division he led was the earliest infantry division of the First Army, so he was also regarded as Tukhachevsky's confidant general
